~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A loud knocking woke Shantal early the next morning. She jerked away from Michael’s hold and quickly jumped out of bed, her hands covering her naked breasts.
“How did I lose my nightdress?” She questioned herself as she opened the door.
Standing before the door, his face red and almost steaming stood Jamil. Shantal quickly fell to her knees and lowered her face to the ground.
“My lord I didn’t expect you to visit me. You should have sent one of your-“
She stopped speaking as Jamil stepped past her and toward the bed where Michael still laid curled up, his arms around Shantal’s pillow.
Shantal turned slowly and faced Jamil. “My lord?” She asked softly.
Jamil turned toward her. “Stand Shantal, come here.” He ordered in a gruff voice.
Shantal stood, she pulled the ribbon off her hair and pulled her hair forward to cover her exposed chest. Slowly she lifted her gaze and stared at Jamil. “My lord, allow me to explain-“
Jamil lifted his hand. His gaze turned back toward the bed, he watched as Michael cuddled the pillow even closer to his chest and sighed deeply. His eyes roamed the naked man.
“Who is he and what is he doing here?” He asked softly.
Shantal stepped closer to the bed, her gaze riveted on Michael’s back. “His name is Michael, he-“
Jamil turned his pale green gaze toward her. “He’s the man Rahine is planing to use to cuckold me?” He stated softly.
Shantal closed her eyes. “My Lord it’s not what you think he-“
Jamil took a step toward Shantal making her jump. “Don’t! Don’t you ever lie to me Shantal!” He shouted.
Shantal fell to her knees, shivering with fear for Jamil had never shouted at her. She looked up as Michael jumped out of bed, crouching on the floor beside her.
Michael looked at her, his first instinct was to protect her and he quickly moved forward, crouching in front of her. Looking up he found himself staring at a huge dark skinned man. His memory shifted slowly, trying to recognize the man standing before him. His gaze roamed the massive arms and chest which were naked except of two large gold bands covering the huge biceps. His gaze went lower to appraise the man’s strength. “He is a giant, if he wishes it he could kill with a simple twist of his hands.” Michael thought as he slowly stood and pulled Shantal behind him.
“Who are you?” Michael asked staring into Jamil’s pale gaze.
Jamil glared at Michael, his gaze shifting between Him and Shantal who cowered behind Michael. Looking straight into Michael’s changing eyes he slowly smiled.
“I am your master boy, I am your king. Now pay me the proper respect.” Jamil said as he crossed his arms in front of his massive chest.
Shantal quickly knelt and bowed her head, her forehead almost touching the ground, her hands spread out in a submissive form.
Michael turned and glared at Shantal. “Stand up Rouge, you should never bow to anyone. We aren't in the middle ages.”
Shantal gasped, her head turning she slowly raised her eyes to meet Michael’s.
“Kneel please, pay him the respect he wants. I don’t want you to die Michael please.”
Michael frowned. “I will never bow to anyone girl.” He stated, his voice hoarse.
Jamil snickered softly making Michael turn to stare at the man. “And what’s so funny?”
Jamil’s gaze roamed the naked man, his gaze finally came to rest between Michael’s spread thighs. “I don’t think you’re in any position to fight me boy. Not in the condition you’re in.”
Michael’s gaze drifted lower, his hands automatically drifted to the front, covering his exposed nakedness.
“What do you want?”
Jamil chuckled. “I just wanted to see the man who will father MY children.” His gaze roamed over Michael once again before turning to stare at the garden through
the large window. “You’re responsible for ALL my children dying.” He stated softly making Shantal’s eyes fill with tears.
Shantal lifted her hand and quickly grabbed a hold of Michael’s hand and dragged him to his knees. She gently pressed the back of his head down. “Just keep quiet,
he’ll leave soon, I’ll explain then.“ she whispered softly into Michael’s ear.
Jamil stepped closer tot he window and slowly sighed. “She decided to take my life away, my children, blood of my blood were all destroyed because of her jealousy.” Turning he stared at Michael and Shantal. His gaze filled with anger.
“She thinks she’ll make me believe that after five years of marriage she finally got pregnant. That all our efforts finally gave fruit.” He scoffed softly. “Shantal what
did she offer you?” He asked almost too softly for her to hear.
Shantal lifted her head. “Nothing My lord, she did not offer me anything. What you think is wrong. This man was brought here for-“
Jamil growled. “Don’t lie to me!”
Shantal quickly lowered her face to the ground once again. “My lord you don’t understand-“
Stepping forward Jamil grabbed her hair and dragged her up to stand before him.
Shantal yelped softly before closing her eyes. She felt Michael’s movement and quickly opened her eyes. “Don’t Michael, just stay as you are don’t force him to harm us.”
Michael hissed something unintelligible but stayed put. His breathing ragged as his anger and worry raced with his blood. He closed his eyes and waited for whatever would happen next.
Jamil forced Shantal to stand on her toes, he glared into her dark eyes. “I want you to get rid of him, I will give you one week to get him away from here before both of
you are dealt with in the normal fashioon.”
Shantal closed her eyes and nodded slowly, acknowledging his order. Opening her eyes she stared deeply into his and lifted her hand to caress his cheek. “Your wife desires him My lord, she will not allow him to disappear. What do you wish me to do?”
Jamil let go of Shantal’s curls and slowly lowered his hand to her breast. His fingers gently brushed across her left breast, tickling her nipple and making her gasp. Taking her nipple between his thumb and forefinger he squeezed until Shantal yelped with pain.
“Do whatever you must, but get rid of him or I will. And my way will not be pleasant for either of you.” He let go of Shantal and turned, glaring at Michael. “Whatever you are now is not important, you have changed owners and will never see your old life again.” He gazed into Michael’s
pale green gaze, smiling he slowly approached Michael. “If you are still here next Saturday you will suffer immeasurable pain and then you will become one of the
several new Harem guards.”
Shantal gasped and took a step toward Jamil. She stopped as Jamil’s gaze swung back to glare at her. “If you become acquainted with this man in any way Shantal you will never stop suffering.”
Shantal lowered her gaze and nodded. “He will be gone My lord. I will find a way-“
Jmail laughed. “You will be given three days of freedom to make sure he is on his way home. I want you-“
Jamil stopped as the door flew open and Rahine entered.
“What are you doing here?” She asked exasperated.
Jamil glared angrily at Rahine. “That’s a question I would like to know the answer to my dear, what is this man doing here?” He snapped.
Rahine straightened her shoulders and smiled. “He is a prisoner, he will remain here as long as I desire it. Now Jamil return to your rooms and I will make sure you enjoy yourself.” She said softly as her hands gently brushed his chest and neck, scratching gently behind his ear.
Shantal knew the technique, she had learned it several years ago, she knew that Rahine had inside her nail a special drug that would calm Jamil and make him completely obedient. She watched as Rahine scratched his neck and ears and kissed the huge man until his arms began to shake softly. Slowly Rahine stepped away and smiled.
Jamil stared dazedly at Rahine, he swayed softly back and forth. “What did you give me?” He whispered before collapsing forward into Rahine’s arms.
Shantal and Michael stared, Shantal’s hand sought and grabbed Michael’s cold hand. She felt him take a step and gently pulled him back, as he turned to gaze at
her she shook her head and pressed her finger to her lips ordering him to keep quiet.
Rahine laughed as Jamil’s body went limp in her embrace, she leaned over and kissed his slack mouth softly before lifting her gaze to glare at Shantal. “Yumar, Engerod!”
The door opened and two large black men entered the room, they stared at Rahine before nodding and quickly lifting Jamil into their arms. Turning they carried their
limp burden into the hallway and toward Jamil’s quarters.
Rahine smiled as she turned to gaze at Shantal and Michael. “You seem to feel better today my love.” She stated as she approached Michael. Lifting her hand she
gently brushed her fingers down his cheek and chest, flicking a nail across Michael’s nipple.
Shantal stood, her fear making her dizzy as she watched Rahine’s drugged nail slowly brush Michael’s skin. She flinched as the woman flicked her nail over his
nipple. Shantal’s gaze immediately returned to stare at Michael, her eyes met and held Michael’s gaze as Rahine played softly with his skin.
Rahine smiled and nodded. She stepped closer to Michael and smiling lifted her left hand to cup Michael’s scrotum.
“Mmmhhhmm......you’re perfect.” She purred into his ear. “You will be a wonderful addition to my collection.” She stated as her right hand brushed his chest softly, standing back she grinned and quickly scratched Michael’s chest.
Shantal watched as Michael flinched, doubling over as he moaned. He lifted his face and glared at Rahine and before Shantal could say or do anything he launched himself forward grabbing Rahine by the throat he pressed her hard against the column.
“You will allow me to leave this place now, and I will take Shantal with me. If you try to stop me I will break your-“ Michael gasped as Rahine scratched his arm.
Rahine smiled. Lifting her hands she pushed Michael away. She watched as Michael stumbled almost falling.
Shantal stepped closer to Michael, her hand lifted and pressed against his lower back, keeping him standing.
Rahine stared deeply into his eyes, nodding slowly she gently rubbed her left hand across her throat. “Do that again and you will lose you manhood!”
Shantal felt Michael sway, she took another step and stood before Michael, allowing him to wrap his arms around her waist.
“Forgive him Lalla Rahine, we still haven't been able to bring him under the drug's influence. He does not know what he is doing. I will make sure he is properly punished for harming you.”
Rahine smiled. “You will do nothing besides make sure he is dressed and ready for me, I will send for him within the hour.” Turning she stepped toward the door.
Turning she smiled at Shantal. “And make sure he is docile, I do not want to have to damage him. It would be a pity to destroy such perfection don’t you think?” Rahine asked before opening the door and slamming it closed.
Shantal heard the woman giving orders just outside, she looked up as Michael swayed against her. She found his face covered in sweat, her hands gently brushed his arms and she felt the same thing, a cold sweat covered Michael’s skin making his shiver softly. She looked into his unfocused eyes and sighed. Knowing that even with his skill for controlling the effect of most drugs, now in his weakened condition he could not fight the drugs effects much longer. She gently stepped forward, dragging Michael with her toward the bed.
“You need to relax Michael, allow the drug to take over, if you fight it will harm you.” She whispered softly.
Michael shook his head and stepped away from her. Raising his hand to his temple he shook his head once again.
“What....” He gasped and slowly reached out toward the column, his hand shaking badly.
Shantal tried to help him but he jerked away from her, stumbling several times before he finally reached the window and slowly allowed himself to slide down toward the pillows. Lifting his eyes he stared unfocused at Shantal.
“What did she give me?” He asked, his voice shaking softly.
Shantal shook her head, stepping closer she stopped several feet from Michael. “I don’t know, I have seen her use it but have never been able to find out what type of drug it is. I just know that it extremely potent and that if you fight its effects it could harm you permanently.”
Michael’s gaze drifted away from her, he leaned his head back against the glass and sighed. Fisting his hands to control their shaking he closed his eyes and reached deeply into himself trying to bring forth his legendary control.
Shantal watched as Michael’s body broke out in a heavy sweat, she could see the hair on his arms stand on end, his jaw clenched tightly as he tried to control his body’s reaction. “You will hurt yourself if you fight it Michael, please let it take over you.”
Michael shook his head savagely. He slowly doubled over, bringing his knees up, he wrapped his arms around them and lowered his head to rest on his knees. His hands clenched and unclenched slowly, his breathing started to become ragged and quick.
Shantal stepped closer and knelt before Michael, reaching out she gently brushed her fingers through Michael’s wet curls.
“You’re hurting yourself Michael-“
Michael lifted his head and attempted to stare into her eyes. His eyes rolled softly up as he tried to focus his gaze. Shantal gently placed her hand on his cheek and
leaned forward until their noses touched.
Michael jerked away, he shivered softly. Reaching out he clasped his hand over Shantal’s wrist. “Leave me alone!” He growled softly before pushing her away.
Shantal frowned. “Michael please don’t fight the drug.” She whispered.
Michael glared at her, his Jade green eyes glazed over and he sighed. The sweat covered his entire body, making his tremble softly.
“How.....can.....this.....damage....me?” He gasped out.
Shantal pressed her lips together. Shaking her head she looked at him. “I don’t know the total effects Michael, but I know that it can cause amnesia and loss of coordination.” Looking down at her clasped hands she sighed. “I’ve only seen two men who have fought the effects of the drugs Rahine uses, and one is dead and the other-“ she stopped and shrugged.
Michael closed his eyes and sighed loudly. “The other what?” He asked panting.
Shantal’s eyes stared deeply into Michael’s. “The other is......damaged.” She barely whispered.
Michael reached his shaking hand out, Shantal took it and gently nuzzled his palm. He smiled crookedly before closing his hand around hers. “Damaged....how?” He asked.
Shantal shook her head. “Michael stop fighting, please allow it to take over your will. Please.” She whispered.
Coughing he began to gasp for breath “Tell.....me.....p-please”
“The other man is catatonic, he does not recognize anyone, he doesn’t even move on his own.” She stated.
Michael nodded and smiled. “So I either die or end up lost inside my mind? What’s the difference?” He thought as his muscles began to tremble more violently. He looked up and watched as Shantal’s eyes filled with impotent tears
that slowly drifted down her cheeks. Tightening his grasp on her wrist he dragged her toward him.
“Help me please.”
Shantal disentangled Michael’s hand from her wrist and gently wrapped her arms around him pulling him to lay his head on her shoulder. “Ohhhh Michael, you will harm yourself, what can I do?” She thought.
Michael closed his eyes and reached inside for the last remnant of his strength. Finding it he fought the drugs effects. Taking deep even breaths he slowly brought
his shaking to a minimum, the sweat dripped off his skin making him feel dirty. Finally after several minutes he exhaled loudly and pulled away from Shantal’s embrace.
“Help me to walk, please.”
Shantal nodded. “First let me open the door tot he garden and put a CD on, I’ve heard that music helps.” She stood and opened the door slowly, allowing the bright sunshine and fragrance of the many different flowers into the room. She smiled as she left Michael’s side and took a CD out, putting it into the player she pressed play and returned to Michael’s side. Helping him to stand she gently wrapped her left arm around his waist and allowed him to lean on her.
“Michael your skin is so cold!” Shantal gasped out as she tightened her hold on him.
Michael swayed softly before nodding. “I’ll be fine, just help me walk the drugs off.”
Shantal nodded. “Of course, but.....you do need some clothes Michael.”
Michael looked down and chuckled. He nodded and leaned on the window while Shantal rushed to the armoire where she took a pair of black silk pants and quickly returned to his side. She placed his hands on her shoulders while she slowly lifted his right leg, then the left and quickly pulled the pants up, they were a bit large around the waist and sagged across his hips in a very sensual way.
Shantal shook her head and pushed her shoulder under Michael’s right side and slowly dragged him to the threshold. As they stepped out into the garden the soft
musical notes of Martina McBride floated toward them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If there were no words, no way to speak, I would still hear you.
If there were no tears, no way to feel inside, I’d still feel for you.
And even if the sun refused to shine, even if romance ran out of rhyme.
You would still have my heart until the end of time, you’re all I need my love, my valentine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael lifted his eyes and gazed into Shantal’s dark gaze. Smiling he tightened his hold around her shoulders. Sighing he threw his head back and enjoyed the
warmth of the sun on his pale, freezing skin. They walked around the garden’s fountain several times as the song played on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of my life I have been waiting for all you give to me,
you’ve opened my eyes, and showed me how to love unselfishly.
I’ve dreamed of this a thousand times before, in my dreams I couldn’t love you more.
I will give you my heart until the end of time, you’re all I need my love my Valentine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shantal hummed softly, her head bowed as she tried to keep Michael steady.
Michael stumbled and Shantal tightened her hold, keeping him standing.
“Maybe we should return inside.”
Michael shook his head slowly, almost as if it was too heavy for him to move. He sighed and pointed toward the large oak tree that gave its shelter in a corner of the
garden.
“Let’s just sit there alright?” Michael said.
Shantal knew he hated to be cooped up inside the room, always asleep or drugged. She knew that the fresh air would do him good and quickly maneuvered him toward the tree. Reaching it she allowed Michael to slide to the ground.
She sat beside him, feeling his head rest against her shoulder she lifted her right hand and began to softly caress his bearded cheek. Her nails rasped against the
softness of his beard making him tense before exhaling a soft breath and relaxing beside her.
Michael and Shantal closed their eyes, enjoying the warm breeze that blew over the walls and caressed their skin softly. They drifted into sleep to the soft sounds of
the song.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And even if the sun refused to shine, even if romance ran out of rhyme.
You would still have my heart until the end of time.
‘Cause all I need is you, my Valentine.
You’re all I need my love, my Valentine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael sighed softly, turning his face he nuzzled Shantal’s neck softly making her smile.
"Whatever happens I won't allow anyone to hurt you Shantal." he thought.
Shantal lifted her left hand and wiped the tear that slipped from her tightly closed lids. Careful to not wake him she inhaled shakily.
“You were right Omar, I do love him.” She thought as her fingers continued to caress Michael’s cheek. “I’m cursed forever. Whatever happens now, I will make sure you live Michael, and return to Nikita. You’re not for me, no matter how much I wish it.” Wiping another tear away she took several deep breaths and allowed her imagination to show her what could have been if Michael was free to
love her.
