Chapter 5

He crashed open the door, bolted it, and then flew up the stairs. She was still in bed, and doing the strangest thing a woman could do after the disaster that had happened an hour ago. She was still naked, her magnificent body gleaming in the night's moon light, and caressing the spot where he had lain before, with great tenderness. He fell on his knees, and started to cry. The dams to his heart and to his soul broke in a huge surge that almost undid him with the intensity of it. She smiled earnestly at him. „I thought it was you who broke the door. We do not tolerate violence in this house, Mr. Black. I will explain to the children that you thought I was in danger.“ „I love you.“ She beamed. „I know. Well, to be honest, I didn’t know for certain until right now, but you show all the signs.“ „The signs“, he repeated weakly, sobbing suppressed. The woman was getting to him. „Yes. Denial, aggression, flight. If you did not love me, you could have just gotten back into bed. You would have had nothing to lose. But you jumped out of bed, out of me, when you said the word love. Have you ever said it before?“ „I don’t think so.“ „It happens, when we speak the highest word, that we are overtaken by our innermost fears“, she said with a mysterious smile. „I thought the highest word is God.“ „It is the same. Love is the most important name of God.“ „I love you“, he repeated, although he loathed to say the same thing twice. But this was something he could get used to doing. Paying reverence to that God. She got out of bed and walked towards him. He could hardly look at her, she was like an archangel. Then she bent on her knees, her breasts almost touching his mouth for a moment. She put her hand gently under his chin, and looked him deep into the eye. „I love you. Can we now please continue? I would like to have my first shared orgasm". He laughed so hard, out of the blue, that he collapsed against her, and they fell to the ground. "Sorry, so sorry, love", he said. She giggled. "You are still not inside of me, Ryker", she said, grinning. He returned her grin, and took off his clothes rapidly. „If I stop until you are completely satisfied, you may proceed with me as you wish." „I will take my pleasure with you, if I have to. But I think you are up to the job." And how he was. It likely was his best performance. For the next hour, all her sounds were of pleasure, in hundreds of variations. He was already addicted to the sounds of her. As he decided to stop for reasons of her health, they cradled closely together and kissed each other gently. „You know I have not cried in twenty years? And I think my last laugh was at least a year ago, too.“ „These are excellent news. I am so proud of you, honey.“ He propped himself up on his elbow and eyed her skeptically. „You speak to me as if I were still a boy. I am a master of the underworld.“ She gave him a naughty look. "Oh yes, I noticed you are a master of my underworld.“ He laughed, again. He could get used to doing that, too. „I know about your dying“, he said then, determined at honesty from the start. She nodded. "I thought so. Well, I am not going anywhere except to church with you. As a bride, not in a coffin, I mean. My illness is not incurable. With love, I can conquer it. I have no doubt.“ He rolled his eyes. „You are a romantic. I will not let you kill me with hope.“ „You would be the first human to suffer that fate, surely. I went to a gypsy fortune-teller, and she said that it is only a man's love that can cure me. I think, the darker he is, the more I shall prosper.“ „Then I will heal you, with my not-so-dark-anymore-heart. Get on your knees, my love.“
