"Those eyes!" Teresa said with a shocked look on her face.
"What are you talking about?" Bella said and grabbed my chin.
She turned my face so she could look into my eyes as well. When she saw me, she gasped and clutched her hands to her chest. The expression of excitement from her was new, but it looked good on her.
"What are you two gawking at?" I asked and turned my head away from Bella.
"Laura must've given you her eyes," Teresa said flatly.
"Yes, those magnificent eyes," Bella said with adoration in her voice.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
"Those eyes represent the highest tier of magical ability. I've spent years perfecting my craft, trying to prove to myself that I was worthy of representing them, and now here they are," Bella said.
The look on her face had become something more like greed now. It was a little scary.
"It's a magical nerd fetish, I'm gonna go explore the rest of this house," Teresa said and walked away from us.
I started to follow her, but Bella grabbed me by the arm. I turned to face her, but she stared at the floor.
"Is something wrong?" I asked her. I had only seen her look this embarrassed the night she transferred my soul to this body.
"I want you to give me those eyes," she said in a whisper.
"Honestly Bella, if you can find a way to take them that doesn't kill me or hurt too bad, you can have them," I said.
"You promise?" she said with a youthful hopefulness.
"I swear on my life," I said and smiled.
I glanced out the window just after saying that and saw a green light shimmer and fade. I stared at the spot trying to see if it was a reflection or something else, I could explain. I came up empty though. Whatever I had seen was gone.
"What did you see?" Bella asked, she was her normal self now.
"I guess it was nothing," I said and started after Teresa.
We walked from the sitting area into a hallway. There were so many doors to choose from that we just started on the right side and worked our way around. The first room we went into was a dining room large enough to accommodate an army.
"How big was this family?" I asked out loud.
"It's not really about size with a family as influential as the Delmoores. They would've been expected to host large banquets and parties, so this was appropriate," Bella said.
The way she spoke sounded more like she knew from experience than it being something she read. The next room we walked into was a massive, empty room. It had a raised area at the rear with a table and chairs.
"What was this room for?" I asked her this time.
"This is where they held dances or met with the other families. Ugh, I don't miss those days at all," she said and walked out of the room.
"So, you and Teresa were raised in a rich family?" I asked as I ran after her.
"You guys gotta come see this!" Teresa yelled from somewhere in the house.
"She does realize we have no idea where she is right?" I asked Bella and shook my head.
"My sister gets carried away when something excites her, there's no telling what's going on in that tiny mind of hers. But to answer your other question, we were raised in an extremely influential family. Wealth was of no consequence to us," she said.
The look on her face let me know her upbringing wasn't a happy one. I decided to leave the topic alone. The next room we walked into was a small, cleaning closet. I turned to walk out of it but again Bella held me up. She stepped into the tiny space and closed the door behind us.
"What are you doing?" I asked, I was more afraid than when the troll attacked us.
"Well, you said I could have the eyes if I found a way to take them without killing or hurting you. So, it's time to give them to me," she said.
"So, what exactly do you have planned?" I asked fearfully.
"Please don't make me say it out loud," she said and looked away from me.
She had her body pressed against me; I could feel how soft she was. There was something hard and pointed pressing into my back though.
"You wanna do that? Why now and why in a tiny, dusty, closet?" I asked and moved the broom that was jabbing me in the spine.
"Well, those eyes are passed down from parent to child, so if we make a child, they will inherit those eyes," she said.
Several things ran through my mind at that moment, the first thing was that Teresa would kill us both and bathe in our blood. I didn't need the kind of pain she was capable of giving a person. The next thought though was that I had never considered what being a parent would look like for me. My own parents were pretty good, I wondered if I could be at least as good as they were. I felt a smile spread across my face as the thought of playing with my child played in my mind. The last thing I thought about was what it would be like to be that intimate with Bella. What Bella would I even get, the mean know-it-all or the super cute, shy Bella.
"Also, this doesn't have to be a closet, we can be anywhere," Bella said, and the room turned into a bedroom. She was lying on a large bed with a crimson spread on it.
Her naked body made my mouth water. She's been hiding that body under that gown? I thought as I stared at her amazing body. She was shorter than Teresa but bigger than her in all the right places.
"Please don't look at me like that, it's taking my nerve away," she said and covered herself with the bed spread.
"Bella, you are amazing and part of me wants to join you," I said.
"I can see what part wants to join me, it's a big part of you," she said and giggled.
"But I can't," I said and placed both hands over my crotch.
"Is it the scene, I can do better," she said.
We were suddenly in a smaller room with a roaring fireplace. She was lying on a bearskin rug this time, with a silk sheet covering her. Her skin was as smooth and soft looking as the material covering it. I clenched my fists and resisted the urge to climb on top of her.
"Still not quite, right?" she said.
The room melted away and she was now sitting in a hot bath with rose petals in the water. The room smelled like the perfume Aphrodite herself would wear. Just standing there was driving me insane. All I could think about was what her moans would sound like and the different faces she would make. I stepped forward and took my shirt off. She stood up in the water and the water ran down her dark, shiny skin. I didn't even feel my pants drop, but they must've because I stepped out of them and entered the water.
"Where the hell are you two?" Teresa's voice called just before our lips touched.
