Maybe he would put two and two together and expand on her legend, to tell of how she’d fallen in love with the ghost of Marcus MacCloud and died to be with him.
The colder she felt, and the more pain, the broader she smiled. The sensation of a warm entity, the size of a man, bearing down upon her freezing form, startled her to delight. ‘Marcus, thank God.’
Guess again. Jasper’s naked ghost manifested to smile broadly at her. Marcus is not going to come. He’s wimped out on you, I’m afraid.
‘No, you’re lying!’ Riane scampered away, dragging her clothes along with her and as soon as she was clear of Jasper she dragged on a shirt and trousers.
That’s the way it is, sweet thing. He claims he loves you too much to condemn you. Jasper stretched out on the floor and began toying with his fully erect penis. But I can get you where you want to go, and unlike my brother, I’ve got a proven track record. He winked and flashed a cheeky grin.
‘I’m waiting for Marcus,’ she insisted.
Then you’re a dead woman. He forced a smile and sat up, cross-legged, leaving his penis to wave around aimlessly at attention. If Marcus was coming don’t you think he would have beaten me to you? And, quite frankly, I’ve got better things to do than to run around liberating frigid women in distress. Do you want out of the reincarnation loop, or not?
‘Well, quite frankly, we frigid women have got better things to do than be run off the road by sexually demented corpses.’ Riane folded her arms, defiantly.
So you figured it out, finally. Jasper smiled to confirm her statement. But you never would have met Marcus if I hadn’t, so no hard feelings, hey? We can still party.’
‘If you wanted to claim me, like you claimed those others girls, what was the point of letting me even meet Marcus?’ Riane protested.
I didn’t like to see him alone, and I had to make sure he liked you before I initiated you into our fold, Jasper explained. I knew Marcus wouldn’t have the guts to claim you himself, but once you’re with us, he’ll come round.
‘No, he won’t!’ Riane strongly disagreed. ‘He never came around after you took Bethany from him.’
He never got the chance … I went and killed myself and so did she!
‘But you’ve tried setting him up with a girl before, haven’t you?’ Riane was confident about this, although admittedly it was a theory. ‘You initiated Arabella with Marcus in mind, but he wouldn’t have a bar of her after she’d given herself to you.’
No … Jasper assured her, she just wasn’t his type is all. But this time I made sure you were to his liking, so I’m willing to take the risk if you are?
Riane rolled her eyes, as Jasper was impossible to try and talk round. ‘If Marcus wants me, he will come for me and I shall wait.’
Well, he’s a very moral lad, our Marcus. I daresay your wait will be in vain. Jasper gave her a despairing look and his smile became more sincere. And if you’re not claimed by Marcus or myself before you freeze to death in this hole, then, sadly, you’ll be on your own, my lovely. This, he motioned to the ruins around him, will be your home for all eternity, which you will spend in solitude. He gave her a wave and dissolved into the shadows of reality from whence he’d come.
The front wheel drive on the hire car was handling the slippery road conditions rather well. Still, the demister on the windshield wasn’t the best and thus Geoff grabbed a dirty T-shirt from his bag and gave the inside of the driver’s side window a wipe.
‘Not too much further to the village now,’ he said to himself, casting the wipe aside. ‘Shit!’
In the split second he’d taken his eyes off the road, a dark haired woman in white had suddenly appeared in his way.
Geoff swerved the car to miss her, and fully expecting to collide with a tree, he was surprised to find himself careering along a driveway.
