Vanessa's Heart: A Blue Mage Side Quest (Blue Mage Series) Read Online Free

professor made a hand signal and the violins disappeared in a faint flash.
    Vanessa’s own eyes widened. “You don’t have to leave. Stay and we can talk.”
    Professor Hart shook his head slightly. “I think it would be in our self interest if I leave. I only wanted to help you out of your gloom a little.”
    Vibrations echoed through the dead woman’s body. A thin warmth had taken hold and she looked to the kind professor with a heat she could no longer deny. “We both know why you came here. Stay and we can see where the evening will take us.”
    A shadow covered Professor Hart’s eyes. “It was foolish for me to come here. I kept telling myself I was helping a student feel better but even I have to admit I wasn’t being completely honest with myself. I can’t stay because it wouldn’t be right. You killed yourself because of me and I don’t wish to chance breaking our hearts again.”
    Vanessa moved in close, eyes staring up into his. “I’m dead. I think my heart can take it.”
    “I meant what I said before. When you died, I couldn’t bring myself to be with another woman.”
    “Fredrick, don’t leave.” Vanessa said with a hard edge. She had trouble controlling her desires.
    “I’m sorry.” The Professor said defeated.
    Passion and lust whirled up into a storm. Deep-rooted feelings bubbled to the surface and Vanessa couldn’t hold back any longer. Her hand reached up to touch his cheek and he pulled away. Something cracked and a lust driven insanity took hold. Vanessa made hand signals. The wine bottle shattered, red liquid streaming to her hand and forming a short sword.
    Professor Hart made one hand signal, a cork in another wine bottle popped open and wine streamed to his hand, forming into a short sword. Vanessa brought her blade down hard and the professor blocked it. Madness took control as the dead woman slashed and sliced. Ordered chaos ensured as professor and student clashed. Hart blocked each blow with expert skill, infuriating the dead woman.
    “You come here with kindness in your heart but I know what really lurks there! I remember our time together!” Vanessa hissed.
    Red swords clashed and mana sparks flew.
    “Please control yourself Vanessa.” Professor Hart managed as he blocked her attacks.
    “I killed myself because I loved you! I still love you.” Vanessa shouted and spun her sword around his blade.
    The tip of her blade struck his hilt. Vanessa bent her wrist to gain leverage and with another flick of her wrist, Professor Hart’s blade flew from his hand and embedded into the wooden wall. With the tip of her blade at his neck, Professor Hart let his hands fall to his sides.
    “You can’t do this to me…….you can’t be in my life and not feel what I feel.” Vanessa said with tears in her eyes.
    Professor Hart lifted up his hand and pushed away her red blade. “I do feel what you feel. I love you. I always have.”
    Vanessa took a step back, red blade falling to the floor and splashing back into wine. Professor Hart stepped forward, hand touching her neck and gazing into her eyes. Vanessa looked up, another tear running down her cheek.
    “I was asked to not rekindle our flame.” The professor whispered.
    Vanessa looked up at him with wide eyes.
    “But I cannot stop how I feel….or want.” Professor Hart leaned in and kissed Vanessa on her lips.
    The warm shock caused Vanessa’s eyes to widen and then half close. Wet lips touched as tongues played. The electricity in the room flared. A strong hand curled around Vanessa and touched the small of her back, pulling her close. The dead woman surrendered as he held her tightly. Pale hands were on his chest, his living energy pulsating like the sun. The pulse was intoxicating, the dead woman getting strange urges to consume him anyway she could.
    Vanessa pulled away and struck the bottom of her fist on his strong chest. “You are a fucking jerk.”
    Professor Hart bent down slightly and scooped her up. Vanessa
