CREEPERS Chapter 19

CHAPTER 19
Home Invasion
Vanessa rolled over and snuggled closer to Calvin as he slept. She ran her nails though the silky hair on his massive chest. It had only been an hour since they’d made love but she wanted him again. Wet with desire, she caressed the firm muscles of his arms, inhaling his scent. He stirred, she felt guilty, she knew he was exhausted and his body was covered with deep scratches. He looked like he’d been mauled by a lion. He rolled over and groaned softly, like a gentle beast, his blue eyes opened, he seemed surprised to see her looking at him. He kissed her forehead. “You okay?”
She kissed his mouth still minty from toothpaste. “Sorry I didn’t mean to wake you, I’m just, well . . .” She took his hand and placed it between her bare legs. He gently inserted a finger. “Your so . . .”
“It’s sleeping naked next to you, turns me on. I want you so bad right now, can we?” She slid her hand down his body and was pleasantly surprised to find him as hard as she was wet.” Just once more, please.”
“I’ll never say no to making love to you.
She laughed and mounted him.”
Simultaneously without having to say a word Roundtree kicked in the front door at the exact instant that his two accomplices’ broke down the back door.
Boom! Calvin couldn’t pinpoint the sound it seemed to have come from two directions. His reaction was instant, protect Vanessa. With one swipe of his powerful arm he swept her aside, leapt off the bed and tossed her clothes to her. “Get dressed.”
He grabbed his jeans and pulled them on. He heard them moving through the house room to room he snatched his sword from the floor grabbed Vanessa by the arm and shoved her into the closet just as two creeps kicked in the bedroom door. The only light was from the moon. Calvin’s eyes adjusted quickly to the dark but so did the creeps. They lunged for him, unaware that he was armed. Calvin threw a round house kick that dropped the first one, then he spun and hit the other with an elbow to the jaw, its head caved in like a rotten melon, as the thing dropped to its knees Calvin swung his sword with the dexterity of the Samurai who’d once carried it into battle, cleanly severing the creeps’ head, it bounced once as it hit the floor and rolled into the corner, its green eyes frozen in surprise. Sticky black sap spurted from the twitching body. Calvin lifted the sword and drove it into the chest of the other creep who lay stunned on its back impaling it. Heartless the creep twisted and convulsed violently trying to free itself until Calvin smashed its head with a mighty hammer fist. He was hunched over the dead creep with his back to the door as Roundtree walked in. He didn’t see him or the table leg he held in his left hand. The unchecked blow would have killed a lesser man. Calvin crumpled to the floor unconscious on top of the dead creep.
Roundtree sniffed the air. “Ah fear, such a sweet aroma.” He lifted his club and tapped on the closet door. “Come out come out where ever you are. It’s time to meet your new friends Dr. Fullbright.”Roundtree yanked open the closet door.
Vanessa had her eyes squeezed shut like a scared child. When she dared to open them she saw Calvin lying unconscious face down on the floor in a pool of blood, then she looked up into the olive green face of the thing standing above her and she screamed. When Roundtree’s creeps came for her, mercifully she fainted.
