Chapter 16

 

Trying to forget about Sekhmet, Satsuki leaves her class two hours later and returns home. Opening the door to her apartment, she tosses her books down and strides into her living room. Noticing a blinking red light on her phone, she walks over and pushes play on her answering machine.

 

Beep. “Satsuki, it's Sage. I just wanted to check on how you were doing. Also, I didn't know if you'd like to come out to Mia's tomorrow for lunch. Call me back.” Beep.

 

Smiling, she reaches for the phone, but before she can pick up, the phone rings. Picking the phone off the cradle, she places the phone to her ear.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Hello, Satsuki,” replies Cale.

 

Taking a deep breath, Satsuki clenches her fist. “Leave me alone. I'm tired of this game you're playing.”

 

“Game? Oh, this isn't a game. This is very real.”

 

“Then go play `real' with someone else,” snaps Satsuki.

 

“I'd rather play with you.”

 

“Tough.”

 

“I'm coming, Satsuki. Be ready.”

 

Slamming the phone down, Satsuki glances toward the door. Grabbing her keys, she opens the door and shuts the door. Locking up her apartment, she half runs from the apartment.

 

You may be coming, but I'm not going to wait for you.

 

Running down the stairs, she steps out of her apartment building and into the light. Turning right, she starts to walk away from her apartment. Unnoticed by her, Cale steps out of the phone booth from across the street and follows.

 

Speed walking down a couple blocks, Satsuki glances over her shoulder. Realizing how foolish she is being, she slows down to a more comfortable pace. Walking past the opening of an alley, she feels two hands grab her and pull her into the darkened alley.

 

Taking a breath to scream, she feels a hand placed over her mouth. Struggling, Satsuki rams her elbow into the person behind her. But instead of gaining her freedom, pain shoots up her arm from her elbow.

 

“Don't struggle. You'll only hurt yourself. I'm wearing my subarmor.”

 

Freezing, she turns her head and glances at Cale over her shoulder. Smiling, he shifts one of his hands to her stomach and draws her body into his.

 

“I told you I was coming. Did you want to see me so badly that you felt the need to rush out to meet me?”

 

Shaking her head, Satsuki tries to pull free. Tightening his hold, Cale grinds his crotch into her backside. Freezing, she glances over her shoulder again and catches Cale's eyes.

 

“I know you want this, Satsuki,” whispers Cale. Leaning forward, he nips her ear.

 

Groaning, she tries to jerk free again, but his arms don't budge. Raising the hand from her stomach, he cups one of her breasts. Pinching her nipple, Cale blows into her ear. Noticing that her breathing has changed, Cale smiles.

 

“You want me,” he whispers.

 

Shaking her head, she tries to deny his words. Jerking forward, she again tries to pull free, but his hold remains. Slipping his hand down her body, he thrusts his hand between her thighs and cups her woman's mound.

 

“I bet if I felt inside your pants right now, you'd be wet for me,” whispers Cale.

 

Shaking her head again, Satsuki tries to deny what his touch is doing to her body. Smiling, Cale opens his arms and releases her. Stepping away from him, she whips around to face him.

 

“I can wait, though not much longer, Satsuki.”

 

Teleporting away, Cale is gone before she can reply. Shaking, Satsuki runs out of the alley and back to her apartment.

 

Pushing the door shut behind her, Satsuki leans against the door. Taking a deep breath, she raises her hands to her face and rubs her eyes. Dropping her hands, she moves away from the door.

 

Stepping into the living room, she stops as she hears the sound of a ringing phone. Staring at the phone, she waits for the answering machine to pick up.

 

“Satsuki? Are you there?”

 

Hearing the sound of her brother's voice, she sighs. Rushing to the phone, she stops the answering machine and picks up the phone.

 

“Hey, Sage.”

 

“Where were you?”

 

“I just got in from taking a walk.”

 

“Is everything ok?”

 

“I-”

 

“Satsuki, what's wrong?”

 

“It was Cale, Sage,” says Satsuki in a rush.

 

“Fuck! What happened?”

 

“Cale called here. He told me he was coming…”

 

“To the apartment? Are you ok?”

 

“I left the apartment, that's why I went for the walk,” replies Satsuki.

 

“Nothing happened on the walk?”

 

“…no, nothing happened,” lies Satsuki. “He didn't show.”

 

Relieved, Sage sighs. “I wish you'd move in here at Mia's till this is settled.”

 

“No, I won't let him drive me out of my own home,” says Satsuki, shaking her head.

 

“Very well” Pause. “Are you going to come for lunch tomorrow?”

 

“Yeah, I'll be there. Noon?”

 

“That should be fine.”

 

“Ok, see ya then. Bye.”

 

Hanging up the phone, Satsuki glances around the apartment. Deciding that she needs a soak, she walks to the bathroom. Shutting the door, she puts the plug in the tub and turns the water on.

 

While waiting for the tub to fill, she grabs the bottle of bath bubble and adds some the liquid to the bath water. Watching as the soap bubbles fill the tub, she sets the bottle down and strips off her clothing.

 

Stepping into the tub, she sighs as the hot water envelops her. Resting her head against the edge of the tub, Satsuki forces her body to relax.

 

*****

 

Watching her relax in the water, Cale smiles. Hearing a noise from behind him, he glances over his shoulder and watches as Sekhmet strolls into the room. Glaring at each other, they say nothing. Turning his attention back to Satsuki, Cale ignores Sekhmet.

 

Focusing his own attention to the mirror, Sekhmet smiles as he watches Satsuki in her bath. Licking his lips, he glances once at Cale before returning his attention to the mirror. Minutes slip by while the two men watch Satsuki.

 

*****

 

Feeling the water beginning to cool, Satsuki stands up. Looking down at her body, she watches as the soap slides down her body. Bending over, Satsuki pulls the plug from the tub. Standing back up, she turns on the shower to rinse her body off.

 

Turning off the water, she steps out of the tub and grabs a towel. Drying herself off, she wraps the towel around her body and leaves the bathroom. Walking to her bedroom, she shuts the door behind her and drops the towel. Walking over to her closet, she grabs a pair of stretch pants and a sweat shirt. Slipping the clothing on, she leaves her bedroom and walks to the kitchen to get herself something to eat.

 

Opening her fridge, she grabs some sandwich meat and shuts the door. Walking over to the counter, she sets the meat down and reaches for the bread. Making herself a sandwich, she puts the left over meat away and takes her sandwich into the living room with her.

 

Picking up the remote, Satsuki turns on the TV and settles down onto the couch. Finding an old rerun movie, she sets down the remote. Watching the movie, she eats the sandwich.

 

Wrapped up in the movie, time passes and when the movie ends, she realizes that night had fallen. Stretching her arms above her head, she pushes herself off the couch and walks over to the TV. Shutting the TV off, she sighs.

 

Not like I'm tired, but I should probably go to bed.

 

Walking across the living room, she enters her bedroom. Shutting the door behind her, she changes out of her clothes and into her pj's. Pushing back the covers, she slips into bed. Closing her eyes, she drifts off to sleep.
