The Ghost From Our Past

When I got back home it was four in the morning, I could still smell Gerard's scent. Kitty James was waiting by the door for me and greeted me with a squee. "Hi James." Syn was on the couch sleeping, I cuddled up next to him. He shifted and wrapped his arm around me.

"Hey sweetie, I missed you." His eyes remained closed, he was so cute at this moment.

"Come on, let's go to bed." I helped him off the couch and went into the bedroom. We laid close to each other and as I drifted off into sleep he kissed me softly.

"I love you Emily."

"I love you too Syn." Kitty James hopped on the bed and laid by our feet as the three of us all fell asleep.

That night I had a dream, it was raining out. Gerard and I were soaking wet from the rain, he took me up into his bedroom. My eyes were close just taking in the embrace. Slowly he removed my wet clothes and I removed his. His hand gracefully moved up my back, the other pushing my hair away from my face. My hands traveled across his chest, making him shiver from the ghostly touch.

His forehead against mine, our lips barely touching. He picks me up and lays me gently on the bed, his kisses trail my neck. Finally I open my eyes so I can see Gerard. When they do open it's not Gerard above me, it's Matthew. I let out a scream which wakes me up screaming in bed.

"Em, wake up. It's okay sweetie, I'm here." Syn held me tight in his arms, and I let out a sigh. "It's okay, just a bad dream. It's over now, you're safe with me." He continued to hold me until I had fully calmed down, even kitty James rubbed himself on me to cheer me up. "You okay ?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. What time is it?"

"It's just about two, you've been asleep all day. I don't mind though, I got to spend all day in bed with you." I pushed him off me and got out of bed. "Oh I went down and got our mail, there was another one of those letters for you again. It's on the kitchen table."

I walked into the kitchen and saw the letter. It looked like the rest of them, without looking at it I put it in the box with all the other unopened letters. Hid the box away and went back to the bedroom. Syn was still laying there, "I'm out of bed now, come on."

"You get back in bed."

I walked to the bed and reached my hand out, "come on Syn, let's start the day. I'll make us some lunch." He grabbed my hand pulled me onto the bed, and started kissing my neck. "You're making it hard to say no."

"What a coincidence, you're also making something hard." I pushed him off me and quickly got out of bed again.

"Down boy, how about you take a shower while I start lunch."

"You can join me." Without responding I left, when I got to the living room I turned on the TV. I switched it to the news, it was the weather. He was telling me it was going to rain, I looked out the window to see it down pouring.

"Good call on that rain."

"Who are you talking to?"

"The weather man, are you taking a shower?"

"Yeah, just wanted to grab something real quick." He moved closer to me.

"What would that be?"

"This." He closed the gap between us and kissed me. "I love you so much, how'd I get so lucky?"

We kissed again, "I'm the lucky one. Now will you go." He grabbed the remote and change the channel to an old episode of Rocko's Modern Life.

"You shouldn't watch the news, it's always about something bad. Cartoons will always make you laugh." He quickly kissed my cheek and went into the bathroom. As soon as I heard the door shut I changed the channel back to the news. I went into the kitchen and started to make us lunch. Suddenly the news woman grabbed my attention from the food.

"We have breaking news, Channel Forty-Three News has just received this announcement. A prisoner by the name of Matthew Price has escaped from the state penitentiary. He was serving a life sentence and is to be extremely dangerous."

I stared at the screen as the story continued. "Here is a recent photo taken only a couple weeks ago." His photo appeared, it took me several moments to recognize him. He had long hair, a beard starting to grow and a new scar above his right eye. It was his eyes that showed any resemblance to the man I once knew, they were empty and emotionless.

"If you see this man please do not approach. Call the police as soon as possible but again do not try to approach this man. If you have any information please call....." My head started to spin, my heart was racing and I felt like I would faint. I had to see Gerard and tell him. As quickly as I could I grabbed my car keys and stood by the bathroom door.

"Syn, I have to leave for awhile. I'll be right back I promise."

"Babe, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, look I promise I'll be right back."

"Okay, well please drive safely and I love you."

"I love you too." I moved as fast as I could to the front door, locking it behind me. As I was heading out the apartment doors I ran into somebody but I couldn't stop. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry but I have to go." Without looking back I got to my car and drove to Gerard's house. At a stop light I texted him to make sure he was home and if I could come over. He said yes to both and gave me the code to the gate.

I finally reached his house, entered the code and parked. It was still down pouring, as I got to his front door I was already soaked. However, I continued to just stand there. What was I doing? I was about to bring Gerard back into this mess, I couldn't do that to him. So before he could see I was here I headed back to my car.

Just before I opened my door a hand turned me around. Gerard stood there in front of me, dripping wet from the rain. "Shiloh, what's wrong?"

"It's Matt, he's escaped."

"Come on, I'll take you inside." He took my hand and walked me inside, both of us dripping wet from the rain. I started to shiver, "let's go upstairs and get you warm." We headed upstairs and made our way into his bedroom. He left me standing in the middle of the room as he went into the bathroom.

I looked around to see not a lot has changed. Memories from my time here started coming back. Gerard brought me back into reality, "Shy?" I turned to see him wearing nothing but black boxers. My eyes couldn't help but look him up and down, he giggled. "You've seen me naked before."

"That was an accident."

"You need to get out of these clothes." His hands swiftly lifted off my shirt even though it was clinging to my skin. Next he unbuttoned my jeans and pushed them down. With his help I removed them and my shoes completely. Now it was his turn to look me up and down.

"Gee, I'm scared."

"You don't have to be, I'll keep you safe." Our lips connected that started a spark, instantly I felt warmth throughout my body. Just like in my dream earlier he lifted me up and laid me on the bed gently. "You're just as beautiful as I remember."

I closed my eyes and feared if I opened them it would be Matt. "Shiloh, open your eyes." They opened to see Gerard above me, little rain drops still on his body. "I love you." He attached his lips to my neck and I let out a moan. Was this really happening?

Without wasting any more time he removed my bra and shorts. My hands ran down his chest to his boxers pulling them down and off. We kissed passionately, my hands bringing him closer, deepening the kiss. Our tongues met and a shot of electricity ran through me. I could hear the rain still pouring outside, it was a perfect sound for this perfect moment.

Gerard pulled away, both of us breathing heavy. "I love you Shiloh."

"I love you too Gerard." As we kissed again I felt him push inside me. I let out a moan inside his mouth. Everything felt right, his thrusts were slow and caring. This was perfect.
----------------------------------------------
Shiloh was perfect, I continued to move slow, kissing her neck until I found her sweet spot. I worked on this area, not thinking about the aftermath, all I cared about was making Shiloh feel good. She trembled underneath me, "you okay?" She nodded and brought me in for another deep kiss.

I started to speed up my pace, her legs wrapped around me. She bit her lip and I smiled, "ohh.....Gerard....." Her eyes closed as she went into complete pleasure. "Faster.....please....." I leaned forward and kissed her forehead. My thrusts quickened, with one hand I gripped the headboard. The other hand was holding Shiloh's and our fingers entangled together.

The lust I have felt for Shiloh all this time was finally being satisfied. I never wanted it to end, everything about her was perfect to me. We were both moaning with ecstasy, we were in complete sync with each other.

"Gee.....uhhh.....close....."

I went in for another kiss, moving the strip of hair away from her face.

"I'm close too.....Shy......"

We moved together for our final moments before we were taken over by pure euphoria. She grabbed hold of my shoulders tight, I felt her tighten around me which sent me completely over the edge. I leaned down, our foreheads touching. She was shaking as our hands met together. We rode our high out together, I fell next to her, both of us exhausted.

Once our breathing calmed I laid my head on her chest. Her fingers brushed my hair, I could hear and feel her heart beat. "Shiloh, our hearts are beating the same."

"Really?" I laid next to her and pulled her on top so her head was on my chest. Now she could hear and feel my heart. "It's like our hearts are one."

I felt her snuggle closer, for now at least she was happy and I was the one able to make her feel this way. Slowly my eyes closed, I kept my arm around Shiloh keeping her safe. I would think of something to handle this Matt situation. Maybe I could take her away until they find him. No matter what I wasn't going to let her leave.
