The party had ended, and Ishan was in his office finishing up some business. His mind however, was not on the work he had to finish. His mind was on Katarina. He kept racking his brain trying to figure out when she had become a Jinni. I mean can you even just become a Jinni out of nowhere like that. He had seen every inch of that voluptuous body that April, but her back didn't have a tattoo on it then. Maybe he didn't know everything about Jinni's like he thought.
"Ishan, son what are you doing in here when you have my beautiful gift waiting in your bed chamber?" His father asked curiously as he walked in. Ishan looked and saw his father's own Jinni crawling behind his father. When his father stopped his Jinni set back on her knees. Could he ever treat Katarina like that? Ishan questioned himself silently before replying to his father's question.
"Well, honestly father I am trying to figure something out." Ishan answered. He had told his father about Katarina and what had transpired that April. His father had approved. When his father had seen her picture he seems to agree that she was a beauty worthy of his son's love. However did his Father know that his gift and the girl from April were one and the same? "Tell me father honestly did you know Katarina was the girl you presented me with tonight?" Ishan asked looking at his father able to tell when he was lying.
"I see, that's what this is all about. Yes, Yes I knew. Did you not ever wonder why Katarina was so readily available to you that April? Her family was my servants, placed to care for your grandmother. The moment you told me her name I knew who she was. However, you were young and my friend needed a Jinni as special as her. We made an agreement she would be returned to me upon his demise for he was already sick." His father answered so nonchalantly.
Ishan nodded. Though he had more questions, his anger was too great. The Elven side always fought with the demon side. They were like duel personalities. His elven side had lain with Katarina that summer, had loved her unconditionally. However, his mother's magic to conceal the demon within would not last long. It would only be a matter of time after returning from Tai Chin that the magic would wear off. Now he had to face Katarina with this new side one on one. His was angry because his father seems to not care for Katarina as if she was a person. His father was a demon and viewed her as property. Ishan fought with the idea of her as property. His mind went back to that April.
The rain had stopped some time during the night and he woke to her in his arms. She turned over and looked at him. Her hand ran down his bare chest feeling the curls of his chest hair. She loved textures. She always had to feel something just because. It was like an addiction to touch everything. She leaned up and kissed him softly whispering good morning. He had pulled her close to him loving her warmth and the smell of their love making mixed with the scent of after rain. She was beautiful in every way.
