ABOUT ME

CHAPTER ONE

It continued raining as they drove into the city of Thorne.

Alex was staring out of the windows as Brianna guided the car down street after street, looking at the rain-slicked cityscape sprawl that lay around them. It began with the outskirts, just a lot of houses, cul-de-sacs, duplexes, and apartment complexes. Then they started coming into the more commercial areas, and the city seemed to come even more alive. They passed several night clubs and strip joints with flashing neon signs that pulsed in the rainy gloom. There were bars and sex clubs and brothels. Restaurants from a few dozen different nationalities were dotted here and there along the streets. He spotted a few smoke shops and even some witch’s alchemical and herbal shops.

All of this mixed into the regular variety of gas stations and storefronts and convenience shops and clinics and banks. There were dozens, if not hundreds of people walking around, and he wondered how many of them were paranormals. Lots of paranormal people could fairly easily pass for human at a glance: witches and werewolves and sirens and even undead and vampires if they had enough makeup on. A lot of people seemed to be dressed in one surreal, crazy fashion or another. Some dressed up in leather, others were wearing little more than netting over their bodies, some wore what seemed to be torn straight from some eighteenth century European country, others were in trench coats, and a few in fancy, elegant dresses.

And some were literally wearing nothing at all, walking around completely naked.

Well...a lot must be legal here, Alex surmised, as he kept glancing around.

“So, what do you think?” Brianna asked after allowing him to soak in the ambiance of Thorne for close to ten minutes, as they wound their way deeper into the city.

“It’s...something else,” he murmured, and looked over at her. He felt a pulse of...lust wasn’t entirely the right word. It was mostly lust, to be sure, but something else, admiration maybe? A powerful sensation, whatever it was, shot through him, as he looked at her. She’d dressed in simple jogging shorts and a t-shirt after they’d left Helena’s place, but as he looked at her, sitting there in the driver’s seat, handling the car and navigating the annoyingly dense traffic with great ease, the different colors of the neon lights playing across her face and her body, he thought that she looked more beautiful than she had before.

Did she? What was different?

“It sure is,” she agreed with a cheery smile. “Ah, I’ve missed this place so fucking much. It’s going to be a lot of fun here. We’re going to have such a great time.” She seemed to notice his lingering gaze on her and glanced over at him. “What?” she asked playfully.

“I just...I don’t know. You look amazing. I mean, you always do, but something...something’s different now. I can’t figure out what it is...”

“Oh,” she replied, and her smile became a little different, “I know what it is.”

“What? How do you know?”

“You’re just getting to know me better, Alex. Something I learned awhile ago, and it did take me awhile, is that a person can become more, or less, attractive the more you get to know them. There’s that initial impression of how attractive they are when you first see them, but that can change if you get to know them more. It’s why you hear a lot of stories about women, and men, who are in unhappy relationships with a really fucking hot partner. Because that partner might be fucking garbage, neglectful or abusive, or whatever the situation is. But we’ve gotten to know each other at a fairly fast pace over the past few days, and that’s on top of our six month friendship before all this. It’s just hitting you now, I think.”

“Oh...that makes sense, actually. That’s really impressive,” he murmured.

“What is?”

“You apparently can accurately identify and articulate subtle social situations that are often either overlooked or written off as ‘just one of those things that happens I guess’, if that makes sense.”

“You’re pretty articulate yourself, handsome,” she replied. “But I guess this is what it’s like to date a woman a lot older than you.”

“That still surprises me, honestly. You really don’t look almost sixty. You sure as hell don’t act like it. But...”

“But…?” she prompted.

“There is a certain maturity to you. It’s not that you’re less emotional, or, well, I guess you are less emotional than like a teenager, or even someone around my age, but it’s more that...I think it’s that you just seem way more in control of your emotions and you never seem to hesitate. You always know what you’re doing and where you’re going.”

“To be fair, that’s largely because the things I’m choosing to do around you are things I’ve done like...so many times before. It’s just familiarity.”

“You’re still fairly impressive,” he replied.

She laughed. “Fair enough. Here we are,” she said, and pulled off the road into the parking lot of a pretty big hotel. It had to be a good fifteen or sixteen stories.

“Whoa, nice,” he murmured.

“Yep. The best for my handsome boyfriend.” She pulled into a parking spot and killed the engine. “Tonight is going to be fun, dear.”

He looked over at her again. “You said that with significance,” he replied.

“Just trust me,” she said, and got out.

Well, he obviously trusted her a lot, given that he’d allowed her to drive him halfway across the country and was relying on her completely for transportation and money, as he didn’t really have either of those things for himself.

But he did trust her. Road trip aside, money aside, he trusted her.

So, he got out of the car and they pulled their luggage from the trunk, before making their way through the light rainfall to the front doors. They slid open to reveal a beautiful, brightly lit lobby. Quiet, nondescript music was playing in the background. The pair approached an attractive redheaded woman behind the huge front desk.

“Checking in. Brianna Livingstone,” Brianna said.

The woman typed something into the computer near her. “Ah, yes, Miss Livingstone. Your room is ready. Please press your thumbs against the pad,” she said, placing a small black, polished piece of technology on the counter. Brianna pressed her thumb to it and it lit up and hummed gently. Alex did the same thing.

“This is high tech,” he murmured.

“Latest thing,” the woman replied. “Now, all you need to get into your room is your thumbprint. Is there anyone else you want to have access?”

“Not at the moment,” Brianna replied.

“Okay then. Your room number is 1501. Your door will only open for the two of you. If you have any problems or questions, please come back here and we’ll handle it.”

“Thanks,” Brianna said.

They headed over to a bank of elevators and as soon as one opened, stepped inside and began to ride it up.

“This place must be crazy expensive,” Alex said as the elevator silently ascended.

“Yep. But it’s been too long since I’ve had a real vacation, or a real excuse to blow through a lot of money. This is the perfect time for it,” Brianna replied.

The elevator came to a halt and the doors opened back up. They headed out, passing through a small waiting area, and came to a long corridor. The walls were smooth white with some kind of intricate and surprisingly complex design of flowers and trees, with the floor carpeted in a deep, deep blue. Their room was the first one on the right.

“Now,” Brianna said as she pressed her thumb to the small dark pad beneath the doorknob, then opened it up, “we’ve got the room for five days, and that includes today. As I believe I’ve said before, we can easily stay longer if you want. I’m open to whatever you choose, honestly.”

“Okay,” Alex murmured, following her in.

She switched on the lights.

“Wow.”

“Yep, nice isn’t it?” she asked.

“Yeah.”

Nice felt like too soft a word. Amazing was closer. Luxurious was better. The door led into broad room that looked like a combination living room/lounge. The far wall was floor-to-ceiling windows. There were big, very comfortable looking reclining chairs and a huge couch near a giant flat-screen TV that was attached to one wall. There were a pair of doors leading away from the room, one to either side. The right side led into a kitchen and small dining area. The left led to the bedroom, which held an utterly massive bed, a pair of dressers, pair of desks, and another door. That door led to a very large bathroom that had a shower and a hot tub.

Everything looked fresh and clean and very high quality.

“Holy fuck,” he muttered as he put his stuff down at the foot of the bed. “This is like...a fucking apartment.”

“I know. It’s awesome, right? I love hotels like this,” Brianna replied cheerily as she set her stuff down next to his. “Now,” she said, and something in her tone changed as she turned deliberately to face him, staring at him intently, “what I want you to do, Alex, is to go into that bathroom, and take a very long shower. Get yourself all cleaned up. And don’t come out until I say so.”

“Okay...why?” he replied, hesitating.

Her smile became a smirk. “It’s a surprise, cutie. Go on, now.”

“All right, babe,” he replied, and gave her a kiss. She kissed him back, giving him a long, lingering kiss with tongue that sent a fresh hit lust and desire shooting through him, and made him consider asking her for a round of sex before the shower…

“No, dear. No sex. Not yet. I know that look,” she said, still wearing that confident smirk. “Go on now.”

“Yes, dear,” he replied.

“Good boy.”

He headed into the bathroom and closed the door behind him, wondering fiercely what exactly it was she was up to. Something sexy, he was guessing. Well, hoping, really. He was already really horny again. Alex sighed softly and stripped down naked. He turned on the water to a good temperature, then slipped in and closed the sliding glass door behind him. As he washed, Alex began sorting through his thoughts.

In a way, he felt kind of...in shock seemed too strong a phrase, and obviously had bad connotations. But it was kind of how he felt, only in a good way. Or maybe in a somewhat bad way. Everything was so vastly different for him from a week ago, even just a few days ago. Barely a few days ago, he’d been having maybe the worst day of his life, or at least the worst one in recent memory. Losing his job, the last piece of his former life from that high school era in the form of Brad, probably losing his apartment, and thus his independence. He’d felt hopeless and miserable and anxious. And now…

Fuck, now he was in an absurdly expensive and luxuriant hotel with his paranormal girlfriend, who was insanely hot and so nice to him. He’d already had sex with her several times, and then he’d had sex with a pair of vampire hookers, and a goddamned Valkyrie. And she’d said she’d try to hook him up with several more of her friends here in Thorne.

It just didn’t seem real.

And maybe that was the core of how he was feeling right now. He was feeling a lot of things: happiness, blissful joy, extreme lust, wonder, surprise. But beneath it all was a strong undercurrent of anxiety and apprehension.

It felt like…

He was waiting for the other shoe to drop. It was like his mind was telling himself: Don’t get too attached to all this, don’t enjoy yourself TOO much, because you know what’s going to happen. You know it’s all going to get ripped away from you at some point. Because that’s life. That’s what life does. It fucks you over for no reason, with no warning. And you really need to be preparing yourself for that massive blow, for the other shoe…

Was it all going to go away?

He didn’t know. Maybe he should be talking about this with Brianna, but wouldn’t that just stress her out? Well, she had told him, more than once, and in no uncertain terms, to talk to her about any problems he was having, anything that was stressing him out. And he believed her. It wasn’t just something she was saying to try and make him feel better. Well, he’d have to talk with her about it after the surprise.

Whatever it was.

Fuck, he hoped it was something involving sex. Ever since she’d kissed him and alluded to that surprise, he’d immediately gotten, and kept, a strong hard-on. It was actually kind of a fight not to just jack off in the shower. But why jack off when he could, at the very least, have amazing sex with his werewolf girlfriend?

Coming inside of her bare pussy was probably the best thing he’d ever felt.

Was she right? He wondered suddenly. About falling in love? She’d told him that guys always fell in love with the girls who first let them ride bareback. Well...there were way worse women to fall in love with. But would she love him in return? Fuck, why was he even thinking about this? They’d been dating for like three days now! Love shouldn’t even be on the horizon. He put it out of his mind and instead focused on getting clean.

If there was sex, then he intended to be very clean.

He took his time, washing his hair, going over most of his body with a bar of soap, washing it all off. Eventually, he turned off the water and dried thoroughly. By the time he’d put on a fresh pair of boxers, Brianna still hadn’t come to get him. So, he brushed his teeth, gargled and spat with mouthwash, and finally ended up clipping his nails. Not long after that, he thought he heard a knock at the door. And then he definitely heard another voice talking with Brianna.

A woman’s voice.

Oh fuck. He suddenly began to get nervous. Had she invited one of her friends over to fuck him? That’d be awesome, but…

Now he was getting anxious all over again about getting naked in front of another woman he’d never met before, and then having sex with her. Sex was awesome, but there could be so much wrapped up into it, so much expectation and unspoken things.

He tried to make himself calm down.

No need to get worked up. But still, even when Brianna opened the door, his stomach was a mess. He still had his hard-on at least.

She poked her head in and looked down at his cock, straining against his boxers. “Good, you’re horny,” she said. “Your surprise is ready. Come on out, Alex.”

She stepped back, giving him access to the bedroom. He stepped out and noticed that there was a naked woman lying on the bed.

“Hi,” he managed.

She grinned. “Hello, handsome,” she replied.

Fuck, she had a sexy voice.

The first thing he noticed was that she was an elf. He saw her pale ears poking up through her vividly red hair. It was blood red. The kind of red he really, really liked. Her eyes were glowing golden, set into her beautiful, thin face. She was quite tall, possibly even a little bit taller than he was. It was harder to tell with her laying down. Her body was long and lean and made up of smooth, pale skin. His eyes caught beautiful, high, firm breasts and very sexy pink nipples, with a light dusting of freckles across the top of her breasts.

Her thighs were slim and athletic, her hips strangely erotic, pronounced in a way that sent a jolt of desire through him. She was lying on her side, one hand propping up her head, one leg drawn up so that her foot was resting behind the other knee, showcasing and exposing herself. Her pussy was a pink, glistening bare slit between her sexy hips.

He felt a real tremor of absolute sexual need ripple through him.

“Alex, this is Alicia,” Brianna said, sounding very pleased with herself, “she’s an escort. The hotel offers an escort service and based on a few conversations we’ve had, I believe that Alicia here is someone you desperately want to screw.”

“Desperately,” he agreed.

“Good. She’s my present to you, dear. I’m going to sit down on the edge of the bed and watch the two of you fuck. And then, after that, I would very much like to have a turn with her. How does that sound to you, honey?”

“That sounds absolutely perfect to me,” he replied, unable to take his eyes from Alicia. She was staring back at him with a sultry smile on her face, somehow beckoning him to come to her, to touch her, to be inside of her and make frantic, passionate love to her without actually doing or saying anything at all.

“Then enjoy, babe.”

“Thank you so much for this,” he said as he took off his boxers. He barely noticed that now he felt so turned on and horny that he no longer felt anxious.

“You’re welcome.”

As soon as he was free of his boxers, he climbed eagerly onto the bed and across it, to where Alicia was laying in the center. He laid down next to her, leaning in and pressing his lips to hers as he placed a hand across one of her firm breasts. Oh, she was hot to the touch, and soft, too. And smooth, so smooth. She moaned as their lips met and responded to him passionately. The lust spiked as they began to make out, touching and groping, eager hands exploring each other’s bodies.

Alicia reached down between them and took his cock in her hand, then began to massage it slowly, sending sparks of pleasure into him. Her tongue was slightly narrower than he was used to, and he wondered if that was an elf trait, or just something about her. It was certainly skilled and dexterous, and she was very skilled at kissing. And clearly enjoyed it a great deal. She broke the kiss occasionally, smiling at him, making a small sound of happiness, before resuming the kiss, as if savoring each one. She tasted sweet, a little like honey, a little like sugar.

And she smelled wonderful, too. A natural clean scent.

He ran his hands over her wonderful, smooth, hot body as they made out and she continued to massage his cock in her hand. Her touch was electrifying, her body so very pleasant to grope and grasp. She had a fantastically fit ass.

Alicia gently broke the kiss and then placed a hand on one shoulder. “Lay back,” she murmured. “I’ll show you what I can do.”

“Okay,” he replied, a fresh wave of excitement pulsing through him.

He’d already been with an escort before now, two actually, but it was no less thrilling being with Alicia. Alex had always had a hot spot for elves...and redheads...and pale women. Combine all that with an exceptionally attractive and skilled escort, and he had what was no doubt going to be a phenomenal fuck session. Alicia kissed her way slowly down his body, her lips making more sparks of pleasure in his body wherever they touched, until she settled in between his legs. She smiled up at him, looking very pleased with herself.

“Enjoying yourself?” she asked as she cupped his balls in one hand and began to massage them gently. Her skin was hot and soft.

“Yeah,” he managed, breathing more heavily now, staring at her intently, unable to take his eyes from her beautiful, pale face and her sexy red hair.

“Good.” She licked up the bottom of his cock, then wrapped her slim fingers around his shaft and began to lick the head.

“Oh fuck,” he whispered, trembling as a fresh pulse of pleasure surged through him. Her tongue was like magic, dragging all over the most sensitive spot on his entire body, lighting him up with sexual bliss, making him clench his muscles and groan with absolute pleasure as she worked. And then she slipped it smoothly into her mouth, encircled his shaft with her thumb and first finger, and began sucking and jacking him off at the same time.

“Oh my...damn,” he moaned as the pleasure cranked up another notch.

“How is she?” Brianna asked, eyes glued to them as she watched Alicia work.

“She’s...oh wow. She’s just...amazing,” he whispered, almost gasped back at her. “I’m not, uh...not...gonna last much longer.”

“Well, she is trying to make you come,” Brianna said.

“Mmm-hmm,” Alicia murmured in agreement, unable to talk while her mouth was full of his cock.

Fuck, this thing she was doing with her lips, the way she’d bring her head up, and then just as she got to his head, she’d go slow all of a sudden, so slow up and then down with her lips and her finger and thumb, providing a tremendous burst of raw rapture each time she did it. She was still massaging his balls in her hot, smooth grasp, and he was in love with that feeling. No one he’d ever been with before Brianna and her girlfriends thought to do that, and honestly, he hadn’t thought to ask. He didn’t know it’d feel so good in tandem with getting his dick sucked. Everything was building, and he figured that Brianna had a point.

She was trying to get him off, so why hold off?

This felt great, but orgasming into Alicia’s mouth would feel roughly ten thousand times better. And it wasn’t like he could hold back much longer anyway, it felt just way too good. She was seriously a fucking pro at this.

He stared into her glowing golden eyes, her sexy red hair, which was down, framing her beautiful pale face, and the way she took his cock all the way into her mouth each time she brought her head down, and let the hot, wet pleasure engulf him.

And then he was coming.

“Oh...fuck!” he cried as the orgasm burst into being.

His cock kicked hard inside of her mouth and the power of the orgasm surprised him. It felt like a fucking explosion. Alicia just kept doing what she was doing, maximizing his pleasure and pumping him dry, trying to get every last drop of his seed out, into her mouth. And she seemed to be getting off on it, or enjoying it on some level. She kept massaging his balls, working his shaft with other hand, and slowly bobbing her head while continuing to suck.

It resulted in a fucking phenomenal climax.

He came and came and just fucking came into her mouth, his cock furiously spurting his seed out, kicking hard and sending intense pulses of pleasure careening through his body, filling him completely with hot, perfect, rapturous sexual release. He was crying out, almost incoherent with bliss, a hand on the back of her head, as she sucked him dry. Slowly, the orgasm fell off, and his dick was just dry-kicking at that point, all of his seed temporarily spent, or so it felt. Slowly, Alicia pulled it out from between those beautiful, luscious, pressed-together lips of hers, sucking as she did, sending a few aftershocks of pleasure jolting through his body.

And then his cock was free of her mouth, already softening from the absolutely insane orgasm, and he went slack against the bed, feeling drained.

And they hadn’t even had sex yet. That was just the blowjob.

“Fuck,” he whispered, gasping for breath.

“That was intense, and so fucking hot,” Brianna said, sounding a little breathless. “It is so fucking hot to watch you come in another woman’s mouth.”

“Really?” he asked.

“Oh, fuck yes. It’s even better watching you fuck her hard and blow your load inside of her. I hate when guys pull out. I mean, it’s hot I guess if they go all over my tits or my face. Actually, I like getting a load blown on my face. I mean, I like it during, but after it gets gross kinda fast. And, okay, I do love pussy-to-mouth, actually.”

“Me too,” Alicia said as she got up off the bed and made for the bathroom. “You know, I’ve actually got this charm, the ring here on my finger, that makes men’s stuff taste sweet. Like, really sweet. It’s so awesome.” She found some mouthwash and began gargling.

“That’s so cool! I’ve heard about those,” Brianna said.

“You want one?” Alicia asked after finishing up and getting back onto the bed.

“Maybe someday, but being a werewolf, for whatever reason, actually makes me like the taste of it naturally. I know other werewolves like it too. Just one of those weird side effects...you okay, there, Alex?” she asked.

“I’m fine,” he managed, still trying to get his breath back.

“He’s a little new to all this,” Brianna said.

He saw Alicia’s eyes light up a little more in excitement. “Oh? Breaking him in?”

“In a manner of speaking,” Brianna replied.

“Well...thank you for letting me help,” Alicia said, smiling at him with a renewed excitement. She ran a finger along his cock, making him twitch in response.

“Do all paranormal women get off on, like, sexually corrupting young, inexperienced human guys?” he asked.

“No, we enjoy doing it to girls too,” Brianna replied, smiling. “Not all of us do, but a fair number of us. The only problem is that too many guys are scared something’s going to happen to them. That they’re going to catch some rare, paranormal disease or we’re seducing them for some dark purpose. And, to be fair, it does happen. There’s a story every now and then of a vampire seductress sucking some young human boy dry, and not in the fun way, and killing him. But it’s rare. You’re just as likely to get killed by sleeping with a human stranger as a paranormal one. Actually...you’re probably more likely to get killed by a human than a paranormal, because humans outnumber us so much, and because every time it does happen, it causes the whole community a lot of suffering.”

“That’s sad,” he murmured.

“Yes, it is. But we’re focusing on happy right now,” Alicia replied, grinning fiercely as she suddenly mounted him. “We’re gonna get you hard again, and then I’m going to fuck you.”

“Yes, please,” he groaned as she reached down between them and began teasing his cock.

“There’s a good boy,” Alicia whispered, smirking seductively at him. It didn’t take him very long to get rock hard again. Having an extremely attractive, nude, redheaded elf hooker on top of you tended to have that effect.

“I love fucking cute young human boys,” she murmured, still staring down at him, looking him directly in the eyes as she gripped his rigid cock and slipped it inside of her. Both of them moaned in sexual unity.

She felt perfect inside, and she was really tight.

There were a lot of things he was learning that he fucking loved about having sex with paranormal women, but probably the single greatest thing was that because almost all of them were mostly immune to any kinds of sickness, and almost all of them couldn’t get pregnant by human...almost all of them were completely willing to go bareback it seemed. So far, they actually seemed to prefer it.

He fucking knew he did.

Condoms sucked.

Alicia let out a loud moan as she finished getting him completely inside of her, all the inches of his rigid cock buried wholly within her elven pussy. That was when she really started to ride him, laying her hands against his chest, staring at him with wide and wild eyes as she bounced on his cock. He groaned, his hands finding her smooth, firm hips and gripping them as he joined her, thrusting up, shoving his cock deeper into her.

“Oh, fuck yes, Alex!” she screamed as they moved in unison.

He wanted to make her come, wanted to give her that burst of pleasure, to feel it with her, and have her walls flutter around him while she lost control. So, he slipped his thumb down in between them, found her clit, and began to rub it. She let out a throaty moan of startled pleasure.

“Holy FUCK!” she shrieked, and began to grind furiously against him, stirring his cock around and around inside of her.

Scrunching up her face, eyes squeezed shut in concentration, Alex could tell she was gritting her teeth as she grinded against him. This lasted maybe five seconds before she let out a long, loud, almost howl of pleasure as she began to orgasm, hard. He groaned loudly as the grinding intensified, her vaginal muscles clenching around his cock deliciously while she simultaneously got hotter and wetter as she rode her release, a hot spray of sex juices unleashed around his dick, intensifying the pleasure.

“Oh, yes! Oh, fuck yes, it’s so fucking good! FUCK!” she screamed with wild abandon, hunching forward now, gripping his shoulders tightly as she orgasmed all over him. Holding her hips firmly, Alex started pushing up into her, fucking her climaxing pussy, making her cry out even louder as he intensified her pleasure, until she was spent. As soon as she was finished, she collapsed against him, breathing heavily. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her against him.

She smiled at him, her hair a wild mess, forehead resting against his.

“That was a good fucking orgasm,” she said between breaths. “I think it’s your turn.”

“I’m going to flip you over,” he replied. She nodded, and he gripped her more firmly, then worked with her so that they flipped over. It was a little difficult given how tall she was, but they managed it and soon she was on her back, looking perfect and wonderful with her legs spread open. He propped himself up, staring down at her long, slim, pale body, before he settled his gaze on where their crotches met and began to fuck her again.

He watched himself disappear into that amazingly tight, now extremely wet elf pussy, and felt the pleasure build quickly, hitting him in waves, like the ocean battering the beach during a storm. He groaned, panting now, grunting with effort as he had amazing sex with her, burying himself wholly within her, thrust after thrust, making her moan and cry out.

“Come in me!” she moaned. “I want it! I want to make you come!”

“Fuck...Alicia! Oh, fuck!” he cried as a second orgasm flared into being.

It was intensely powerful, a wondrous rush of rapturous bliss and intense sexual release. He was coming inside of another woman, another paranormal woman. He emptied himself into her, feeling that supernova release of absolute pleasure.

“Oh yes, Brianna...your man is coming so fucking much in my pussy...” Alicia moaned as his hips repeatedly jerked forward in time with his orgasm, forcing his cock deeper into her. “He’s blowing the biggest fucking load in me...”

“I bet. He loves doing that,” Brianna murmured in reply.

“Fuck, I love it too. God, I fucking love feeling guys orgasm inside me...”

Alex was nearly incoherent from the raw pleasure filling his head, his whole body, barely hearing, let alone comprehending, what they were saying. But their brief conversation only made the orgasm that much more intense and pleasurable.

When he finished, he pulled out of her, now breathing heavily, covered in sweat. Rolling over onto his back, he stared up at the ceiling, which was spinning now.

“Holy shit,” he whispered. “That was...oh wow.”

“I think I broke him again,” Alicia murmured.

“Yep,” Brianna agreed. The bed moved and a few seconds later, her beautiful, smiling face appeared in his field of vision. She was staring down happily at him, and reached out and ran her fingers through his hair. “Feeling good, darling?”

“Yes,” he whispered. “I still can’t believe you’re my girlfriend. You’re the best girlfriend in the entire fucking world.”

“What a cutie,” Alicia said, and laughed.

“Well, I’m not one to brag,” Brianna replied. “You doing okay? I really thought you were gonna pass out for a second there.”

“I’m fine,” he replied, “though I might need a drink. I’m thirsty as hell.”

“Exhaustively great sex will do that to you,” Alicia agreed.

“I’ll get you a bottle of water, dear.”

“I need to go hop in the shower or I’m going to start leaking all over the place. You seriously busted the biggest load in me,” Alicia stated, as she carefully got out of the bed.

“Couldn’t help it,” he replied.

“Oh, I’m not upset. As I believe I said, I enjoyed that immensely. But it requires some necessary cleanup, obviously. I don’t mind, though.”

Slipping into the bathroom, it was only a few seconds later that Alex heard the shower turn on. Brianna returned not long after that with a cool bottle of water. He thanked her, accepted it, and drained about three quarters of it in one go.

“Wow, you were thirsty,” she said.

“Yeah. That was...intense,” he replied.

“Yep. Maybe we should all relax in the hot tub together,” Brianna suggested.

“Excellent idea,” Alex agreed. He was actually starting to rapidly cool off both because he was sweaty and naked, and because the AC was on. He and Brianna moved into the bathroom and turned on the water, quickly beginning to fill up the tub. He looked over at Alicia, who looked sexy as hell showering off, nude and pale and perfect. And her red hair...fuck, he didn’t know why but women suddenly looked even more attractive with wet hair.

By the time she was done washing herself, and spraying her pussy down with the detachable showerhead, the hot tub had filled up, and soon all three of them were sitting in there together, nude and relaxed.

“This is so fucking unreal,” Alex said after a bit of silence.

“What is?” Alicia asked.

“I just...had sex with an elf escort while my werewolf girlfriend watched in a hotel. That is...I mean, that’s the kind of shit you read about online and see in porn and most people never really get to live, and I just did. Like, in a no bullshit kind of way. It wasn’t like recorded or staged, I mean any more than us, or Brianna actually, paying you for your services. It was...”

“Organic,” Brianna said. “Natural. I mean, inasmuch as something like this can be natural.”

“So basically, you’re grappling with the fact that you experienced a crazy fantasy genuinely,” Alicia said.

“Yes. That,” he replied, and both women laughed. “It just feels...like everything has felt, since Brianna first had sex with me.”

“You know, I’ll accept ‘mind your own business’ as an answer, but I’m really curious: how did you two hook up?” Alicia asked.

“I don’t mind. Do you, dear?” Brianna asked.

“No, not at all,” he replied.

“Okay then. Basically, we met in a library about six months ago and hit it off. We started hanging out a lot and I kept waiting for him to proposition me, but I apparently intimidated the fuck out of him-” Brianna said, and Alex interjected.

“Yeah, because that’s so impossible to imagine,” he said.

“Okay, fair enough. But anyway, after having one of the shittiest days of his life, getting fired from his job, having his roommate literally bail on him and move all of his stuff out while he was at work, with no money to help pay any of the bills, we hung out and I just...wanted to make him happy. So, we hooked up.”

“And it was probably the best sex of my life,” Alex said.

“Probably?” Brianna replied with a grin.

“Hey, you hooked me up with three paranormal escorts and a fucking Valkyrie, okay?”

“Fair enough.”

“A Valkyrie?” Alicia asked.

“Yeah, I’m good friends with a Valkyrie named Helena.”

“Wait, Helena? You mean...the one that does all that metalworking stuff? You fucked her!?” she asked, looking over at Alex incredulously.

“Yep. Like a few hours ago,” Alex replied.

“Oh, my God, how was she? Was she incredible?”

“Yeah. She was. She was, uh...extremely intimidating, but absolutely phenomenal at sex,” he replied awkwardly.

“Fuck, I bet. So...how’d you two end up here after hooking up?” Alicia asked.

“I figured a road trip was in order. I used to live here in Thorne. Moved away when I got sick of the bullshit that sometimes comes with this place a little while ago. Finally decided maybe I should come back for a visit,” Brianna explained.

Alicia laughed. “Yeah, that’s about Thorne in a nutshell. It’s great and wonderful and exciting but there’s a lot of BS around here, too. One of those ‘can’t live with it, but can’t live without it’ kinda things, I guess.”

“It sure seems that way sometimes,” Brianna replied.

Alicia fixed Alex with her golden gaze again. “So, how are you liking it out here so far? This must be pretty amazing.”

“So far it is, but we really just got here. It looks like there’s just so much to do here. And according to Brianna, there’s apparently a lot of women out here who would be interested in sleeping with me, which I still have a hard time really believing.”

“Even though I’ve found four women to fuck you so far?” Brianna asked. “One of which you got all on your own.”

“That was just...luck, I guess,” Alex replied awkwardly.

“Most of life is,” Alicia said. “And yeah, as I said, there’s this interesting sort of subculture of paranormal women who want to fuck innocent young men. And the other way around, too. Paranormal dudes love fucking hot young women, but that’s nothing surprising. Seems like every dude over twenty five is aiming for a teenage girlfriend.”

“What do you think, Alex?” Brianna asked. “Do older girls do it better?”

“Uh, based on my experiences so far, yes. Emphatically yes. Although, I’m not sure how old you are,” he said to Alicia.

“Forty nine,” she replied. “Young for an elf, but heading into middle age for a human, from what I understand.”

“Older girls definitely do it better.”

“We know what we’re doing,” Brianna said with that smile she liked to wear.

“Speaking of which...either of you horny? Cause I could go for another round,” Alicia said.

“I have an idea,” Brianna replied, and moved forward, then pressed her lips to Alicia’s. Alex immediately perked up as he watched the two beautiful, nude, wet women come together and begin making out with each other, making good use of their tongues. Alicia seemed particularly interested in Brianna’s breasts, groping them and playing with them. He didn’t blame her. Brianna had the greatest breasts he’d ever seen.

“Here,” Brianna said after a bit, “I have an idea. I want you to eat me. And, if he feels like it, Alex can fuck you again from behind.”

“I most definitely feel like it,” he replied, already fully erect again.

“What a surprise,” Alicia said, laughing. “Prepare for a good round of oral.”

Brianna hopped up on the side of the tub and spread her trim legs, exposing her smooth, wet pussy. Alicia settled in between her firm, wet thighs, and his girlfriend gasped softly, then began to moan as their elf escort set to work with her skilled tongue. She leaned back, resting on her palms, pressing her huge, wet breasts forward, looking like some exotic, erotic deity. Alex’s whole body was throbbing with excited lust and intense desire now, and he saw Alicia’s fit, sexy, bare ass beneath the water, raised up slightly to grant him access to her. He was practically trembling again with how fucking horny he was.

Alex quickly got up against Alicia, running his hands reverently over her smooth ass, then her beautiful hips. Then he gripped his cock, lowered himself a little bit so that he was at the right height, and slipped back inside of her. And it was like returning to paradise. She was extremely wet inside, perfectly slick and tight, and he entered her without a problem.

“Oh, holy fucking shit,” he moaned, reaching around and under her, cupping her bare, wet breasts in his hands. “Oh fuck, you feel so good Alicia.”

“Mmm...glad you’re enjoying yourself, Alex. You look really hot, fucking her like this,” Brianna said, staring down at him.

“You look like a goddess,” he replied.

She smiled at him and he saw that she was actually blushing now, before she let out a new cry of pleasure as Alicia continued eating her pussy out. Alicia herself was moaning now too, the sound muffled and mostly lost since her face was buried in Brianna’s crotch. He was humping her, fucking that sweet elf pussy of hers, lost inside of her, inside the pleasure.

“Touch her ears,” Brianna whispered.

“What?” he replied.

“Touch her ears, honey. Caress them gently. She’ll like it.”

“Oh...okay.”

He let go of her breasts and reached up, laying his fingertips against her long, pointed elf ears, and he felt her shudder noticeably as he made contact. He began to caress them, gently sliding his fingertips up and down her ears, and she moaned loudly.

“Wow, she really likes that, huh?” he asked.

“Mmm-hmm...” Alicia moaned loudly.

“Elf ears are sensitive. They’re an erogenous zone,” Brianna explained, then let out a loud cry of sexual bliss as Alicia did something particularly pleasing down below.

Alex kept going, making the water slosh around and sometimes splash over the edge, but he couldn’t help himself. Fucking her was just too good, and the sounds she was making as he screwed her and touched her ears.

Before meeting Brianna, he wasn’t entirely sure he was capable of making a woman make sounds like that, but he’d seemed to have pretty good success with the paranormal women he’d hooked up with so far.

And apparently Brianna was really right, about her ears being an erogenous zone, because he had her coming, and coming hard, within just about two minutes. That burst of pleasure hit him hard as he felt her twitch and spasm against him, grinding her ass against his crotch as her vaginal muscles clenched around his cock. Feeling a woman come when you were inside of her was honestly one of the most wonderful things he’d ever felt, and in a way, he understood why Brianna and Alicia were so into it when they made him come during sex.

Which he started doing not much later. He cried out, then hugged her from behind, wrapping his arms around her slim torso as he came into her, spilling his seed into her perfect paranormal pussy. He grunted as his hips jerked forward, cock kicking hard inside of her tight vagina. He emptied himself for yet a third time into her, water splashing a lot more now, but he couldn’t control himself: the orgasm was just too fucking good.

He could hear Alicia crying out in surprised pleasure as he fucked her hard throughout his orgasm. When he was finally done, and his cock was finished dry-kicking, having emptied itself utterly this time, he groaned loudly as he slowly, carefully pulled out of Alicia. Falling back into the seat, submerging himself up to his neck in the warm water, Alex gasped for breath, head swimming.

“Fuck, that was hot,” Brianna said, before crying out as Alicia kept eating her pussy.

While Alicia continued pleasuring Brianna, Alex had to get out of the water, because his head was continuing to swim, and getting worse. He felt like he might actually pass out. Should’ve learned his lesson from his time with Helena, but fucking in a hot tub was so fucking satisfying. Underwater pussy felt goddamned good.

As he hauled himself out of the tub and staggered to his feet, Brianna began to enjoy her own orgasm, crying out, her voice carrying quite well as she screamed her way through the climax, coming on Alicia’s face and into her mouth, spraying her with her sex juices. As she finished up, Alex started the shower up again, this time making the water cool, and let out a long sigh of relief as it hit his skin, which was actually steaming a little at that point. As he cooled off, he heard Brianna finish up her sexual encounter with a long, happy sigh.

“Fuck,” she said, lying down on her back against the floor.

“That sounded very enjoyable,” Alex said. Alicia was splashing her face, getting cleaned up. Brianna just nodded slowly.

“It was. You are good with your tongue, Alicia.”

“Thank you,” she replied, getting out of the water and joining Alex in the shower. “Ooh, that’s nice and cool.”

“I could use that,” Brianna murmured, then slowly got up and joined them.

They stood there together in the cool shower in silence for a few moments.

“So, now what?” Alex asked.

“Well, you’ve got me til tomorrow at noon,” Alicia said.

“I’m hungry. Let’s order some room service and just hang out until we get horny again, then fuck some more until we want to sleep,” Brianna suggested.

“Fine by me,” Alex said.

So far, Thorne was turning out to be a fantastic place.

CHAPTER TWO

“Oh...fuck...keep going...” Alex moaned between his panting.

He stared up at Alicia’s beautiful, high, firm breasts as she rode his cock furiously, fucking it hard and fast. The redheaded elf let out a loud, long moan of pleasure as she reached down between them and began stimulating herself.

“We’ll come together,” she whispered, her voice husky.

“Yes...fuck...” Alex groaned.

It only took another ten seconds of passionate sex before he started letting off and his second orgasm that morning was blasting out of him, hard and fast. Almost immediately Alicia let out her own high-pitched shouts of pleasure. Alex was gripping her hips tightly and felt her begin to grind against him as her pussy spasmed and a hot spray of her sex juices escaped her, getting all over his hips and thighs and lower stomach.

They came together, and he pumped her full of his seed once more.

When it was over, she fell against him, and he hugged her, both of them nude and sweaty and breathing hard. They laid there, entwined together, for a minute, until Alicia slowly began to get up. He let go of her and she got off of him, his softening cock falling from her. She got up off the bed and headed to join Brianna in the shower.

Alex laid there for a few seconds, waiting for the initial intense burst of euphoria to pass him and leave him a bit more coherent. It was the next day. According to the clock, it was a little past noon. The sun was shining in through the windows and he felt...good. No, great. Amazing, actually. Although kind of sore. Brianna had woken him up a little while ago, demanding sex, and she’d ridden him until they both had come hard, and afterwards she’d slipped off to the shower. The whole time, Alicia had been staring at him with those glowing golden eyes of hers, and he found himself looking back at her after Brianna had headed to the shower.

And he realized that he was still hard, still horny.

So, he’d had her ride him, too.

This was a great way to start the first day of his vacation. Well, first day after the road trip. Hunger got him up and moving. He was starving. They’d ordered three large pizzas last night, and Brianna had eaten almost two of them by herself. They’d told more of their story to Alicia, and learned a bit more about her. She’d been with the hotel as an escort for two years now, off and on. Sometimes she’d feel the urge to wander, quit, and go on a random vacation somewhere in the world for one to two months.

Then she’d get tired of traveling or homesick, (she was a Thorne native), and come back and pick back up her job here.

Alex headed into the bathroom and slipped into the shower, where he found both women nude and wet and washing up.

“Hey you,” Brianna said brightly. “You finally awake now?”

“Very,” he replied as he grabbed a bar of soap and set to work. He had sweated up a goddamned storm over the past half day and was starting to smell.

“So, what now?” he asked.

“Well, my time is basically up. You could pay me for another half day if you wanted,” Alicia replied.

“I think we’re gonna head out and see the city,” Brianna said, glancing at Alex, who nodded in agreement.

“Okay. Let me know if you want to see me again. You two are fun,” Alicia replied.

“Definitely, we’ll let you know,” Alex replied.

She finished washing herself off, then gave them each a hug and a kiss on the mouth, thanked them for the fun night, then got out and began drying off. She was dry, dressed, and gone within the next few minutes.

“So, how are you feeling this time around about having sex with a prostitute?” Brianna asked. They remained in the shower and she was looking at him with a steady gaze, almost as though assessing him.

“Um...pretty good,” he replied. “It was a lot of fun. There’s still some of that kind of background anxiety, but not much. I, uh...I’m feeling good.”

“Great!” she said, breaking into a big grin. “I’m glad. But now that we’ve gotten sex out of the way...I mean, for now, I’m sure I’ll be horny again in like a fucking hour. My sex drive is nuts. But I digress. What do you want to do?”

“Eat,” he replied. “I want to go out somewhere and grab lunch. I’m starving.”

“Me too! Shit, I’m so hungry. There’s this barbecue place that I fucking loved when I was living here before. One of those nice little hole-in-the-wall restaurants that’s family run or something and the food is just killer. You feeling that?”

“That sounds excellent,” he replied.

“Then let’s get to it.”

…

That sense of being in a dream came back as he left the hotel room.

Alex supposed it was because he’d spent enough time in that hotel room for it to become a little more real to him. But walking back through the hotel itself, then heading out into the sunshine, just felt unreal, left him in a bit of a daze. He got into the passenger’s seat of Brianna’s car and she pulled back out into the heavy traffic.

As they drove slowly through the city, Alex found his mind wandering. There were so many possibilities, so many things to do here, so many places and people and events. He had spent his entire life in his hometown. While it couldn’t be mistaken for being small, it certainly paled in comparison to this megalopolis. Millions upon millions of people. Something like half of them paranormals, or maybe even more.

After having a fairly uneventful sex life since hitting puberty, suddenly, within the last few days, Alex had had sex with five different women. Five. All of them paranormal, all of them bareback. He’d always known that bareback sex would feel good, great even, and had fantasized about it often, but nothing really could have prepared him for the reality of it. And he had an idea that it was actually better than it would be because he was doing it with paranormal women. But good fucking lord, it was astronomically good!

He suspected that he was hopelessly addicted to unprotected paranormal sex now. He dreamed about it, thought about it a lot, wanted it a lot. It was easily the best thing he’d ever felt in his entire life.

“What are you thinking about?” Brianna asked suddenly.

“Oh, uh...bareback sex,” he replied.

She laughed. “I told you, didn’t I?”

“Yeah. That first time we did it was just...fuck, I want more already,” he said. “It just feels so fucking good! I swear, each time I’ve done it, I kind of find myself thinking ‘I must be over-blowing it in my mind, surely it doesn’t feel as good as I think it does’, but each time it does! Each fucking time it’s just as good. Better even! I mean Alicia was so fucking tight...” he paused suddenly, “is it weird that I’m talking about this?”

“No! Not at all. Talk about it. Tell me about it. This is all new to you and I want to hear what you’re thinking. I love watching you fuck other women. Like, I actually really do love watching. It used to be a bit of a problem...”

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“I found out that I loved watching people fuck when I realized that my room gave me a perfect view of this newlywed couple that was renting the house across the street. And they left their windows open a lot. And they just...fucked all the time. I swear they left their windows open on purpose, but still, there was this like dark thrill from watching them. It got to the point where I was just watching them and masturbating to it like every night. I mean, it was like live porn. I started trying to watch my neighbors where I lived after that. I became a little obsessed with it for awhile.”

“Well...it is hot,” Alex murmured.

“Yeah, it is. But what I meant to reassure you about is that I get off on watching you fuck other ladies. I’m not getting bored or anything.”

“That’s good to know. I’m still kind of figuring out how I’m handling that particular aspect of our relationship. I mean, obviously it’s awesome, it’s just that it was something I’d obviously fantasized about for a long time, pretty much every guy does, but now that I’m actually living that particular dream, it feels...weird. But mostly good.”

“I’m glad to hear it, because it’s going to happen a lot more...yes! There it is! It’s still here,” Brianna said excitedly as she spotted the restaurant.

She quickly pulled off the main road into a small parking lot. Alex studied the place they had come to, and surmised that it was exactly as Brianna had described it. It was a small, somewhat squat building with faded white siding and a tiny, cracked parking lot that could hold maybe ten cars if they all parked very carefully. There were maybe half a dozen booths and tables inside that he could see through old windows, some of which had cracks in them, and another half dozen tables beneath a sheltered, outdoor area to the side of the building. A handful of people were inside, ordering or eating. As he got out, Alex had an immediate good impression of the place, though he couldn’t at all explain why that was.

Brianna took his hand and they walked into the building. It was a little warm and it smelled absolutely wonderful. It was like that scent you caught when you stepped outside and realized someone was barbecuing outdoors somewhere nearby, and you were half-tempted to track them down and ask if they were willing to share because it smelled so amazing. They got in line and Alex looked over the old, battered menu that hung overhead the register.

The place looked like it had gone up in the seventies, maybe the eighties, and honestly hadn’t changed all that much since then. He’d never quite been able to pinpoint why, but little family run, bolt-hole restaurants like this always seemed to have fantastic food. It often cost more and took longer, but it was also often more than worth it. When their turn came, Alex ended up ordering a slab of ribs, some mashed potatoes, baked beans, and a soda. Brianna ordered...half the menu. At least. Once their order was in, they filled up their drinks at the soda fountain and then took a seat in one of the free booths.

“I’m so glad this place is still here,” she said, looking around the building, smiling. “Being here again is like...I don’t suppose you have any places you used to go as a child, stopped going to, and then came back to much later?”

“No, not precisely,” Alex replied. “I mean, not in the way you’re describing, with the powerful nostalgia. But there was a place I did go as a child that I loved, but never went back to once I hit a certain age.”

“Where?” she asked, returning her gaze to him.

“This little town in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the Midwest. It’s really beautiful. My parents would take me out to a little resort there for about a week every summer until I was...fourteen, I guess. Something came up that year and we just never got to go back. I miss it terribly. There was a lot of fun there, and a lot of natural beauty,” he explained.

“We should go there sometime,” Brianna said.

He considered it for a moment. What would that be like? He knew that sometimes, examining lost relics of tremendous power and entertainment from childhood was not always a great idea. As time moved on, things had become smaller and less powerful than what he remembered them being as a child. Seeing Brianna enjoy returning to Thorne made him pause though. Sure, he’d dug up a few old video games and novels and movies that he’d been absolutely obsessed with in his youth, things he’d thought were truly amazing at the time. Some of them were still pretty great, but others...not so much. Some were just crap.

And it would have been better to leave them as a memory.

Was that the same case here? It was something he’d have to think about more, but his gut instinct was telling him no, that this would not be the case. He imagined that the town and the resort and the general feel of the place would be just as powerful as before. It had been years since he’d been there. The idea of going there with Brianna was actually very appealing. Thinking of her here in Thorne, and how happy that had made her, and that she’d bring her excitement and passion from here to the resort…

“I’d like that,” he replied.

“Good! Now, do you want to do anything specific today?”

“I don’t know, honestly. I’m really more of a follower than a decider when it comes to situations like this. I’m pretty happy to let you figure it out.”

“Okay. Though do let me know if anything comes to mind. Cause I’m pretty flexible.”

“Yeah you are,” he replied, unable to keep from grinning.

She laughed. “You’re a bad boy,” she said, leaning forward, exposing a lot more of her cleavage to his eyes. She’d thrown on some jogging shorts and a low-cut t-shirt. It was difficult not to stare at her large, pale breasts.

“I suppose so,” he replied slowly, trying to look back up.

She laughed again. “I’m glad you’re as a horny as you are. It can be difficult to keep up with me, and probably next to impossible to keep up with me and my friends. Speaking of which, I think we’re going to meet one of them today.”

“Which one?”

“It’s a surprise.”

“Well, so far surprises are really good things with you.”

“They always are.”

Their food came then, and for a few moments, Brianna did nothing but eat. Messily. Although barbecue was a pretty messy food, Brianna seemed to have no regard for even attempting to eat it without getting it all over her face and hands. Alex didn’t fare much better, since he really was hungry as hell. When they’d gotten through the bulk of their meal and there was not much left but bones, Brianna picked back up the conversation.

“How’d you like to go clothes shopping?” she asked.

“Clothes shopping?”

“Yeah. I know a great place.”

He considered it. His first inclination was to suggest something else, but Brianna probably had a good reason for suggesting it, and more importantly, he realized that he actually wanted to do just that. For as long as he’d bought clothes for himself, he’d kind of just bought the cheapest, most basic stuff he could find. Clothes were kind of expensive if you were making little more than minimum wage. He’d seen a lot of cool t-shirts over the past few years that he’d wanted but honestly hadn’t had the money to get. Or, in some cases, was trying to exercise what other people called ‘responsibility’, which really just seemed like code for ‘you don’t have enough money to enjoy your life, and you probably never will, so get over it and fall in with the rest of the poverty-stricken failures’.

Maybe that was why he felt so uncomfortable taking Brianna’s money. He didn’t really feel like he deserved it. Then again, he didn’t feel like most people deserved to be living in poverty while a lot of stupid assholes who hadn’t had to actually work a single hard day in years or even decades, just lucked into money one way or another, laughed and shrugged and told those same people in poverty, ‘you’re just lazy, that’s why you’re looking at eviction’.

“I’d like that,” he said, coming back around to the original point of the conversation. He was deeply glad that Brianna didn’t seem to have any of that condescending superiority or elitism in her. “I’m not sure I’ve ever deliberately bought clothes.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. They were always bought for me by my parents, or I bought what was cheapest. I don’t really want to go crazy and get two hundred dollar jeans or some stupid shit like that, but it would be nice to actually get some new clothes and maybe some t-shirts with cool designs on them, instead of just blank generic stuff.”

“All right then, when we’re done here, I’ll take you to the mall.”

He saw her eyes flash just a little with what he’d come to realize was excited lust. He almost asked what she was thinking, but didn’t.

Because surprises were nice.

…

“So what kind of big interesting things happen in Thorne?” Alex asked as they once again drove slowly through the coastal metropolis.

“Honestly? A lot of the ‘interesting’ things that go on in Thorne are mostly the same ‘interesting’ things that go on in other big cities. Crazy parties, drug deals, gang violence. The biggest difference is the nature of those activities. Our parties involve a lot more magic, our drug deals are typically run by witches, and the gang violence rarely involves guns. Typically, it just involves brute strength and sometimes claws if werewolves are involved. But for the most part, it’s mainly the same as other stuff that happens, just that there’s a paranormal twist on it.”

“Huh,” he murmured, looking out at the people they passed by, wondering which among them were paranormals.

“And you’ll get to see at least some of that, if you want. I won’t take you anywhere dangerous, but I’ve got some friends on the, uh, underground.”

“Maybe,” Alex said after a moment.

He’d never been a particularly adventurous or thrill-seeking individual. He’d never been to a night club or a bar in his life. Honestly, his life had so far largely been either school or work or hanging out with his friends at their place or his. Or, really, over the past year or so, just work and hanging out by himself with video games. He thought that he liked it that way, and to a certain degree he certainly did.

He was kind of a low-key sort of individual, more apt to relax at home than go out and do something. But how much of that was because it had been kind of forced on him? Or at least he felt that way. What point was there in going out and doing something alone? It just felt...weird, and sad. He liked downtime, but he didn’t particularly enjoy being alone. It was only over the past few days that he was remembering this about himself. He’d spent so much time alone because he sucked at making friends and his only three friends were Brad, who actually wasn’t his friend, just a roommate who’d become obsessed with his girlfriend, Brianna, the only person he really spent any quality time with, and Lapis, his online friend.

He made a note to talk with Lapis again soon.

Spending all this time with Brianna, and meeting these new people, it was...kind of liberating in a way. He was remembering how fucking fun social activity could be. Or maybe it was just the fact that he was high on paranormal sex.

They pulled into the vast parking lot of the mall she was taking them to and after awhile, finally found a spot among the hundreds upon hundreds of cars. Getting out of the car, they made for the nearest entrance. It led into a fairly sizable bookstore. As they began passing through it, Alex paused suddenly, looking around.

“What is it?” Brianna asked. She seemed vaguely uncomfortable.

“I was just thinking...I want to try and find your books.”

She sighed. “Do we have to?”

“No, not if you don’t want to. I just thought it’d be cool,” Alex replied, looking at her more closely. “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, I just, um...I don’t know. I guess bookstores make me...shit, I don’t even know. Uncomfortable? Anxious? Guilty?”

“Guilty?”

“Yeah. Cause I stopped writing.”

She still seemed uncomfortable. “We don’t have to, Brianna. Let’s keep going,” he said, making for the exit.

“Thank you,” she said.

That was one of the few times he’d seen her uncertain about something. Alex made another note: her books were a sensitive topic. His initial instinct was to avoid the topic, but suddenly he wondered if that was the right thing to do. Over the past few days, Brianna had gently probed and poked and prodded him whenever he was having some kind of trouble but was reluctant to talk about it. And so far, she’d been right to do that, he always felt better after talking about it. But would that work with Brianna? She was a lot older than he was, a lot smarter, more complex. Well...it was something he’d come back to.

Maybe at a more appropriate time.

They were having a pretty good day so far and he didn’t want to ruin that.

As they walked through the mall, Alex found his gaze being drawn in a dozen different directions. There were a lot of people walking around, and over half of them were insanely hot women. It was approaching the end of summer now and fall was on the approach: a time when the sun started going down earlier, when it rained more, and when the weather finally began the slow process of cooling down. Everyone was probably out enjoying the last of the warm weather for as long as they could, with short shorts and low-cut t-shirts and not a lot else.

And looking at them all was exciting in a way it had never been before.

Because it somehow seemed to underline the fact that he was in an apparently open relationship with a woman who wanted to hook him up with other women. Obviously, he wasn’t able to sleep with anyone at the drop of a hat, but there was so much...freedom in this relationship he suddenly found himself in. Brianna noticed his excitement.

“Getting horny, huh?” she asked.

“I, uh...I mean, yeah,” he replied.

She laughed. “Well, there are a lot of crazy hot women walking around. Here, this is the shop I think would be best for you.”

He looked up at the sign over the store she’d brought him to: FIDELITY.

“Fidelity?” he asked uncertainly.

“Yeah, like high fidelity, what everyone says when they talk about graphics or screen resolution,” Brianna replied.

“Huh.”

He felt a distinct twinge of discomfort as they walked inside. This seemed like the kind of place pretentious asshole teenagers and college students bought their clothes. He did want to dress a bit better, but where was the line between that and looking like a fucking prep or bro douche-bag? He said as much to Brianna, quietly, as they walked among the aisles of clothes.

She laughed. “Alex, it has a simple answer,” she said.

“It does?”

“Yes. Just...buy what you think looks cool. Buy what catches your eye, honey. It’s that easy. Don’t worry too much about that kind of stuff. Believe me, it’s way easier that way. Don’t look at me like that,” she said, smirking, “I know that look. That ‘I don’t really believe you, but I don’t really feel like disagreeing with you’ look. Trust me, Alex. I’ve had to live through a lot of BS. One of the things I learned is to stop worrying what the average person looking at you thinks of you. Now, this is not the same as people spouting off about how you shouldn’t care about what anyone thinks. If you care about people, then you should probably be at least somewhat concerned about their opinions of you. Be willing to listen to reasonable people, but as for people you pass in the street? People who are even just casually in your life? Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s a lot easier. And obviously it’s going to take time, but the sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll get better at it. So just, you know, pick out some clothes you like, and I’ll buy them. Easy.”

He found himself nodding. “All right,” he replied, pushing against the urge to again bring up the debate about whether or not she should be spending all this money on him. He was just going to take her advice.

They continued their trek through the store, but before they could get much farther, one of the store associates approached them. She was an extremely attractive short, blonde woman and there was something about her, something he couldn’t quite discern. Some kind of presence to her that vaguely, for whatever reason, reminded him of Brianna. Only not quite like Brianna. It was a truly strange sensation.

“Can I help you find anything?” she asked brightly. She stared at him with some very striking, beautiful blue eyes.

“I think we’re okay,” Brianna replied after a few seconds.

The woman glanced at Alex again, then returned her gaze to Brianna and her smile became a bit more genuine. “If you need help with anything, anything at all, come find me.”

“We will,” Brianna promised.

She turned and walked away.

“Oh my God, look at her fucking ass,” Brianna whispered.

He couldn’t help but do so. She filled out the pants she was wearing very nicely. “Fuck,” he whispered.

“I know, right? She is so fucking hot...I bet you’d fuck her.”

“In a heartbeat, if you were okay with it,” he murmured, still staring at her fantastic, thick ass as she walked away then disappeared from out of sight around a corner.

“Come on, let’s find those clothes.”

They spent the next half an hour moving slowly through the store. There were a shitload of t-shirts, pants, hoodies, coats, shoes, hats, and other stuff which he knew he wouldn’t bother with. Alex considered himself a fairly simple person. Some simple jeans, packs of basic black boxers and socks, and some new white sneakers were enough for him. It was really just the t-shirts where he exercised much in the way of choice. A few pretty interesting designs grabbed his attention. He found a black shirt with a big white skull on it, a shirt covered in blue flames, a shirt with a neon yellow radioactive symbol, and several others.

“You sure you’re cool to cover all this?” he asked finally.

Brianna sighed. “Yes, Alex, I’m sure. Is that it?”

“Yeah, I think so. This should be more than enough,” he replied, surprised by all the clothes he’d actually ended up grabbing.

“Then let’s go try these pants on. Every time I didn’t try the pants on I regretted it,” she said, and began taking him back to the row of changing rooms.

“Every time?” he asked.

She sighed. “Okay, maybe that was a little hyperbolic, but whatever. Just try them on! Stop being difficult,” she said.

“Someone’s flustered,” he murmured, unable to keep from laughing a little.

“I am not flustered,” she said firmly, “just...distracted.” She got him back to the changing rooms, then made him go to the very back one. “Okay, go in and get changing. I’ll be back.”

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“Saw a shirt I might like,” she replied, before she turned and walked off. He watched her go, doubt filling him at her lackluster explanation.

Something else was going on.

Well, he supposed he’d find out sooner or later and moved into the changing room. It was definitely a step up from most of the other changing rooms he’d been in. First off, it was an actual room, not just a stall. It seemed pretty solidly built, and was bigger than what he was used to. He set the clothes down and began the process of trying on the pants. It was awkward and kind of weird taking his pants off anywhere but a bedroom or bathroom.

Alex managed to get through trying two of them before there was a sudden knock at the door that made him jump in surprise.

“Occupied,” he said.

“It’s me, Alex. Got a surprise for you,” Brianna said.

“Uh...okay.”

He opened the door sans pants, since he’d been preparing to try on the third and final pair of jeans, and then jerked in surprise and reflexively covered himself when he realized that Brianna wasn’t alone. The blonde associate with the beautiful, thick ass was standing next to her.

“Um, hello,” he said.

She laughed softly. “Hello, Alex,” she replied.

“Can we come in, babe?”

“I...guess so. What’s going on exactly?”

They came in and Brianna closed the door behind them. “I thought it was obvious. Adrienne here thinks you’re very cute, and is interested in having a quickie with you, and I’m interested in watching. And I figured you’d be interested in fucking her, too.”

“Do you two know each other?” he asked as his mind desperately tried to catch up and adjust to the rapidly evolving situation.

“Nope. I know her as much as you do,” Brianna replied.

“And you’re just...okay to fuck a literal stranger?” he asked uncertainly, turning to Adrienne.

She shrugged. “I’ve done it before. I’m a witch,” she replied. “Perfect birth control, STDs don’t affect me. Literally no downside to this, except maybe a lame lay. Uh, no offense, I mean. But with strangers it’s like flipping a coin, you know?”

“I, uh...yeah, that makes sense. Um...” He felt like he was mentally stumbling again and again. This was just so...sudden. It was one thing when Brianna suddenly wanted to fuck him, like back at the gas station bathroom, but this was a completely new person. Then again, wasn’t he literally just thinking about how awesome it would be to just fuck a totally random hot chick at the mall? Well, here was that exact situation.

And Adrienne was hot.

And apparently another paranormal, a witch. Well...why not?

He was already hard. “Okay,” he said, and he set his pants aside.

Adrienne glanced down. “I think your cock made the decision for you,” she said.

“That happens a lot,” Brianna said.

“Not a lot,” he replied, then sighed when she fixed him with a firm stare. “Whatever, it’s not my fault I’m stupid horny all the time and in a relationship with an amazing girlfriend who keeps hooking me up with hot women.”

“This sounds like a great relationship,” Adrienne said as she quickly began unbuttoning the store shirt she was wearing.

“This is so fucking unreal,” Alex muttered as he took off his shirt.

“Good sex is,” Adrienne replied. “Or, at least, fun sex. And fun sex tends to be good sex. And sex with literal strangers in public ranks pretty high up there.”

“Guess I’m gonna find out.”

Brianna took a seat on the left side of the room, on one of the benches, staring at the two of them intently as they undressed.

“Don’t take your boxers off all the way, leave them on one ankle,” she said suddenly.

“Uh...okay,” Alex replied, glancing behind him again to double-check that the door was actually locked, then awkwardly pulling his boxers down and bringing one foot up out of it, leaving them hanging off of his left ankle on the floor.

Adrienne got her shirt unbuttoned and let it hang open, then pulled the sports bra she was wearing up over her breasts, freeing them.

“Wow,” Brianna said. “That is one fucking awesome rack. What are you...thirty six double Ds?” she asked.

“Yeah, actually. You’ve got a good eye,” Adrienne said.

“Thank you.”

“I really hope to see yours before this is over.”

“I can accommodate that. Start kissing my man,” Brianna replied.

“Happily.”

Alex felt a fresh flush of hot, anxious excitement pulse through him as Adrienne stepped up to him, smiling at him. She was a bit shorter than he was, and he had to crouch a little bit to kiss her properly, but she quickly and enthusiastically pressed her luscious red lips to his and began probing his mouth with her tongue.

She tasted sweet, a little like honey and sugar.

He wrapped one arm around her and put his other hand up in between them, groping one of her big, beautiful, tanned breasts. He was making out with a witch now, in a mall department store, in the goddamned dressing room.

While his girlfriend watched.

These thoughts shot through his head like bullets firing off in the dark, sparking brightly before disappearing immediately. Adrienne was very enthusiastic, very open, very willing to move quite quickly. Well, that’s what a quickie was, Alex supposed. Or could be, anyway. Her breasts were amazing and felt wonderful to hold in his bare hand. He began moving his other hand, wanting to get a feel of her thick ass, to know what it was like under those pants she wore, so he moved lower and lower until he managed to slip it in between her pants and her skin. Her flesh was hot and smooth and soft, and her ass felt just as amazing to grope.

She pulled back suddenly, her eyes alight with fiery passion and sultry seduction. “You are quite the kisser,” she said, breathing more heavily now. “Hold still,” she said, and then dropped to her knees. His hands fell away from her and now he was breathing more heavily as well as she gripped his rigid dick, her fingers wrapping around the shaft. She looked up at him, then stuck out her pink tongue and began to lick across the head.

“Oh fuck,” he whispered, placing a hand on the wall next to him, because he felt his legs weaken for a moment as the pleasure nearly overtook him.

“He’s sensitive,” Brianna said.

“Sensitive is good,” Adrienne replied between licks.

“Not always,” he groaned, “harder to last longer.”

“That’s what a quickie is, handsome,” she said, then she began sucking him off. Alex groaned again, louder, and tried to contain himself. He wasn’t exactly sure on the legalities of public sex, not that this was exactly public, but it probably was close enough for an arrest. Unless things were different in Thorne, or if the people who ran this store didn’t give a shit. If they did, surely Adrienne wouldn’t do something that risky, right?

Then again, she seemed like the type who got off on risky sex.

She covered his cock in her saliva and then stood back up. “Ready to fuck?”

“Yeah,” he replied, a little breathless now. “Ready.”

“Good.”

She turned around and pulled her pants down, revealing that beautifully thick ass of hers, then bent over, putting her hands against the wall. Alex quickly stepped up against her, got into the perfect position, and pushed until he slipped right into her.

And then he was fucking her.

He was having unprotected sex with a stranger in a changing room.

His thoughts seemed to melt and run like wax beneath a blowtorch. There was only the feel of being inside of Adrienne, the feel of her bare pussy against his bare cock. Her hot, perfect tightness, how wet she was inside, he couldn’t focus, close to becoming overwhelmed. The way the pleasure, the rapturous sexual euphoria seemed to engulf and fill him, to consume him, was enough to drive him wild.

“Oh, that’s so fucking good,” he heard her moan, pushing back against him, her ass grinding against his crotch as they made love.

He groaned an incoherent reply and reached around her and up, groping her big, firm breasts, squeezing and massaging them gently, loving how they felt, how soft and hot they were. He could feel her moving against him, could feel her breathing and shuddering and twitching in pleasure. He then wrapped his arms around her stomach and started going faster and harder.

“Oh, fuck! Yes! Oh, holy shit,” she moaned. “Fuck, that makes my pussy feel so goddamned good...”

“Adrienne,” he groaned, almost incoherent with lust.

“I think he might be enjoying himself,” Brianna said. He registered that she was going for cavalier but there was definitely some horny lust in her voice as well, like she was so turned on that she wasn’t fully in control of herself.

Adrienne said his name, and had to say it twice more, a bit more loudly, before he fully realized that fact. “Yeah?” he managed.

“As much as I’d like you to come in my pussy, it’s too messy. Too much cleanup. So, when you’re ready to go, tell me. I’ll let you go in my mouth.”

“Okay,” he whispered, “thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Wow, you are really into this.”

“This feels so fucking good, and you are so fucking hot,” he replied, then he gripped her hips and began fucking her harder. She cried out, then seemed to try to control herself, but that just made him want to make her make noise even more, so he tightened his grip and pounded that sweet, wonderful, paranormal pussy of hers even faster and harder.

“Fuck!” she cried, then slapped a hand over her mouth, moaning loudly.

Unfortunately, this had the side effect of pushing him quickly over the edge he’d been riding between orgasm and not-orgasm, and he pulled out quickly, gasping to her that he was going. Faster than he expected, Adrienne whirled around and dropped to her knees again. She took his cock into her mouth about a quarter of a second before he started letting off and he moaned loudly, putting his hands on the back of her head, feeling her soft, blonde hair beneath his grasp, and came hard into her mouth. He kept moaning as the pleasure soared through him in pulsating waves, shoving his cock deeper into her mouth, into her throat.

She just kept sucking and swallowing, and he felt the wet, tight muscles of her throat clench repeatedly around his cock as she did this, spiking the pleasure even more. She sucked him dry and drained his cock completely, swallowing every last drop.

“Oh...fuck,” he groaned as she finished up and gave him his dick back.

Alex thought he might actually fall over for a second there, and managed to stagger over to Brianna and sit next to her. He realized she’d gotten her big, pale tits out. Adrienne noticed as well as she wiped her mouth on the back of her hand, then started pulling her clothes back on. “Nice!” she said. “Those are some fantastic tits, Brianna.”

“Thank you,” she said.

“Yes, thank you,” Alex managed. “That felt amazing.”

“Yes, it did,” Adrienne agreed. She finished getting dressed and studied herself in the mirror, smoothed her hair out, then stretched and popped her back. “Well, that was fun, but I’ve got to get back to work. Stop by again sometime.”

“I’m sure we will,” Brianna said.

She slipped out of the changing room and closed the door behind her. Alex kept sitting there, trying to get his breath back. He wasn’t sure if he was more out of shape than he thought, or if paranormal sex took more out of him, but damn he felt tired.

“So, uh...I guess we should buy these clothes,” he murmured as his mind slowly got back on track.

“Oh no, not yet,” Brianna said, and he looked over at her. She still had her tits out and now she stood up. “I’m horny now, and I want some cock.”

“Uh...I’ll need a minute,” he managed.

“You get one minute,” Brianna replied, and took off her shorts.

CHAPTER THREE

“So, talk to me, Alex. Tell me what’s rattling around in your head.”

Alex stopped staring at the lake that he and Brianna were slowly walking around and instead looked over at her. She looked absolutely radiant in the sunlight, her hair pulled into a basic ponytail. She was giving him a simple smile, open and welcoming.

“Right now, I’m thinking you look absolutely beautiful,” he replied, because it was true.

“Thank you, handsome, but what else are you thinking about?”

He considered it. The clothes he’d bought, (she’d bought), were sitting in her trunk right now in three plastic bags and a box. It had actually been Adrienne who’d checked them out of the store after he’d managed to get hard again (it hadn’t taken as long as he thought it might, not with Brianna getting nude, making out with him, and teasing his cock), and Brianna had ridden him hard, also letting him go pussy-to-mouth and fuck did that feel so good. He’d been in a bit of a daze as they’d navigated the mall, heading back out and getting into her car.

She had suggested going to a local park for a walk.

It was a beautiful place, situated around a lake with ducks floating on its surface, birds flying across the blue skies, squirrels and rabbits dashing around among the trees that dotted the landscape. He had been thinking a lot recently…

“I guess what I’m thinking about is the fact that I’m living in this dream. I mean, I’ve always considered myself pretty liberal and open when it comes to sex. I like the idea of open relationships, prostitution, respect, open communication between partners. I’ve just never...I mean, before I met you and we began dating, I feel like there was just never any opportunity in my life to actually explore any of that in depth. It’s...interesting. And a little mind-blowing. Actually finding women who are into me, and just okay with casual sex and it doesn’t have to be complicated, there don’t have to be these difficult questions and there’s no subterfuge, no hidden meanings, no expectations beyond the very basic stuff, you know?”

“I understand,” Brianna replied. “Here.” She took his hand and led him a few feet forward, to a bench beside the lake, on a piece of land that jutted out into the water. They sat down next to each other and settled in. “I love this place. It’s so relaxing.”

“It is,” he agreed.

“So...I get what you’re saying. But there’s something else, isn’t there?”

“I guess so. I’ve been kind of going over it since we left the mall, poking it, prodding it, figuring it out...” he laughed, a little bitterly. “I’m sorry, I must be annoying you. It just seems like problem after problem comes up with me.”

“No, not at all, Alex. I like helping you. I like...caring about you. I like that we care about each other. I like that you trust me enough to tell me these things. It makes me feel connected to you, and I value that,” she replied earnestly.

“Well, thank you for that then.”

“It’s fine, and this is also understandable. When things change, the mind tends to get shaken up, and a lot of stuff falls loose, and new stuff shows up, or old stuff gets thrown into a new perspective, and it takes awhile, weeks, months, or even years, depending on the situation, to examine it all, and come to new conclusions, ask questions. I want to help with that, if I can.”

“That makes sense...okay, I guess the core of the issue I’ve been having is that I feel kind of...guilty, and dumb, and hypocritical, for how much emphasis I’ve been placing on sex recently. Or ever since I hit puberty I guess. It’s frustrating and depressing, feeling like you have less value because you aren’t sexually active. I don’t judge anyone because it’s stupid, but it’s how I feel about myself. And now that I am having sex with very attractive women...I don’t know. I guess I do kind of find that I’m beginning to feel more confident. But that’s fucking stupid. Why should I feel more confident based entirely on my sex life?”

“That...is a complicated issue, Alex,” Brianna replied after a few seconds. “We live in a society that has always and will, I’m sure, for a long time, place a great emphasis on sex. Who you’re having sex with, how many partners you have, the quality of the sex.” She sighed heavily. “It is stupid. Fuck, all the miserable guys I’ve come across who hate themselves, hate their lives because it’s hard to get laid, it’s fucking awful. Society tells us we have less value if we have less sex, but in a twisted sort of way. Not many come right out and say it. No, it’s all subtle and fucked up. It’s just implied. But it’s also painfully obvious to a lot of people.”

She shook her head and took his hand. “I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t really know the best way to answer this, partially because my problems with sex are different. I mean, I know I’m attractive, but being an attractive woman comes with all its own sort of different difficulties. Guys want to have sex with you, but a lot of them go about it poorly, thinking that treating you like shit will make you want to sleep with them, when it’s just a big turn-off because that’s fucking stupid. And then a lot of people will get all fucking offended and disgusted if they hear you’ve slept around. Like, what, I’m supposed to sleep with just the current guy that’s hitting on me? And then there’s jealous women, which is its own brand of vicious. But I’ve never had to know what it was like to not only have trouble finding people to fuck me, but to have my value tied to have a lot of sexual partners. The opposite really. Too many guys want to fuck me, too many guys hate that I’ve fucked a lot of guys.” She paused. “This is coming off as really arrogant, I think...”

“No, it’s just honest. You are hot. Like, really hot, in a way that I think most people would agree with me on. And I know how a lot of guys are. More often, it really seems like a lot of people are just looking for excuses to judge each other.”

“That’s very true, and a very old reality of societies, all of them,” Brianna murmured. She shook her head, as though trying to shake loose bad thoughts and gather up good ones. “Okay, I’ll give you a kind of bottom line on the subject: start trying to worry less about it now. Like, put in some active mental effort towards that, because altering your reflexive reactions to certain things is very hard and takes a long time. And I can’t really tell you what you should be thinking, because you have to figure that out for yourself, but my opinion is this: don’t expect sex, don’t be afraid to politely ask for it, always respect if someone says no, don’t be afraid to say no yourself, and be happy with the sex that you do get. Also, be open to experimentation, but know that it’s okay to have limits, and it’s okay to have some things that you’re probably never going to try.”

She paused for a few seconds. “Does that help?”

“Yeah, actually. A lot, I think,” he replied.

“A lot, you think?” she asked, smirking.

“It’s...”

“Complicated. I know. For now, try to enjoy yourself.” Her phone buzzed. “Shit, hold on.” She fished it out of her bra, where she tended to keep it, (one thing he’d learned about Brianna was that she didn’t like purses), and checked it. She sighed. “Dammit.”

“What?”

“Aurora’s bailing on me for today. Something came up. Probably an orgy or a party, or both. She’s a party girl of the hard variety. She promises we’ll meet up tomorrow.” Brianna replaced her phone and stared at the lake for a moment. “Well, I guess that means we can have another day to ourselves. Or we could pick up a girl...”

“I’m okay with both,” he replied.

“Which one would you prefer though?”

“Would it be disappointing if I said a day to ourselves?”

She smiled and kissed him. “No, it would be romantic, Alex.” Her eyes lit up briefly as something seemed to occur to her. “I know where we can go. There’s this art gallery that’s super cool. I used to go there all the time. I would love to have you visit it with me. I always wanted a boyfriend to take there.”

“I’ll go, but...you didn’t find one to come with you before me?”

“No, unfortunately. None of them were into art and I didn’t really want to drag anyone there if they’re just gonna be bored. I’ve got a hunch that you’ll like it.” She hesitated. “Please don’t pretend to like it. I’ll be able to tell. Just tell me up front if you’re getting bored, okay?”

“I will,” he promised, and hoped that he liked it.

He wanted to make her happy.

…

“This is it,” Brianna said.

Alex stared up at the structure ahead of them. It was made of smooth, white stone brick. The windows were constructed of black glass. It was certainly a strange looking building, but not in an unpleasant way. They got out of the car and walked up the front steps, coming in through the main entrance.

“This is...interesting,” he murmured as he looked around the lobby.

There were ramps to the left and right, gently ascending until they curved out of sight, leading to a second story. There was an immediately pleasant atmosphere to the place, a kind of cool, calm, relaxing ambiance. Probably helped by the soft, almost imperceptible ambient music that was playing in the background.

And when he really began listening to that music, something...happened.

It was like some emotional or maybe even spiritual chord had been struck somewhere deep inside of him. It was some bizarre cross between nostalgia, joy, and hope, all of it blending together into something that was somehow both subtle yet powerful. It was a little like feeling a gentle vibration from a generator somewhere in the vicinity. You knew it had to be very powerful to produce vibrations, even faint ones, at such a distance.

He wanted to explore it, ruminate on it, but not yet. It would make more sense to let this emotion stew for a bit, maybe to coalesce into something more solid, more coherent. Plus, he got the feeling that he was really going to enjoy this place, and that enjoyment would be magnified by the fact that he was with Brianna, who clearly still loved it. The look on her face was one of nostalgic joy and peaceful serenity.

“Come on,” she said after she’d made a rather sizable contribution to the suggested donation box. She took his hand and led him at first deeper into the first floor of the building. For awhile, he let her simply lead him along and show him the art, which was...interesting sometimes, while other times it was flat out weird.

Some things were awesome.

There were a lot of paintings around. Some were of landscapes. Some were little more than abstract shapes and colors that blended awkwardly together. There was a whole section dedicated to fantasy environments, and almost all of those were amazing, done in fantastic detail, depicting soaring mountains and dragons and vast armies and more. Near the end of the first floor they came to a very large room that was two stories tall. It was clearly its own section, and featured a different kind of art. Metalworking.

“Whoa,” he murmured, finding himself staring up at a huge metal flower done in gleaming gold and chrome.

“Neat, huh? Look at the plaque,” Brianna replied.

He got a little closer to the rope cordon that surrounded the ten foot flower and the engraved plaque there.

“GOLDEN FLOWER”

HELENA. 1995.

“Helena made this?” he asked, looking up at it again.

“Yep. Neat, huh? You fucked the woman that made this,” Brianna replied.

“I...yeah, wow. She’s really good. But that name...”

Brianna giggled. “I know, it pisses off people. On two levels, this time actually. One, cause she’s so literal or what they consider ‘plebeian’ in her naming, but also because it sounds like golden shower, which offends some art critics’ sensibilities. Helena really likes fucking with people sometimes,” she explained.

“It’s still really impressive,” he murmured.

“Oh, yes, it is. She’s so very talented. That one’s hers, too,” Brianna said, pointing.

He looked over and saw a woman lifting a heavy barbell over her head. She wore a sports bra and tight shorts. She was cast and painted in incredible detail. He could see a few scars and imperfections in her mocha colored skin, her black hair pulled into a short ponytail, her blue eyes focused hard. She looked incredibly lifelike.

“She looks familiar...faintly,” he murmured.

“That is Sofia Venn. She’s a Thorne native, a human. She was Helena’s close friend. She was in a lot of weightlifting competitions and was a big friend of the paranormal community. Still is, I guess. Not sure where she ended up. Helena made this for her. She got pretty famous in the eighties and some elements of the paranormal community wanted to celebrate her. I met her a few times. She was really cool. And intimidating.”

“Really? You were intimidated by a human?” he asked.

“Fuck yes, I was. She didn’t give one fucking shit if you were a werewolf or a vampire or whatever. She didn’t take shit from anyone. She was tough, and a blast to be around. Come on, let’s keep going, I’ve got more I want to show you,” she said eagerly.

And on they walked.

They stayed in the art gallery for close to two hours, and Alex enjoyed pretty much all of it. Though by the end of it, he was beginning to get worn out. Especially when, as they left the building and came back into the parking lot, he looked up and saw that while they were in there, a thick gray cloud cover had rolled in and thunder was threatening rain in the near future.

“Now what?” he asked as they got into the car.

“What do you want to do?” Brianna replied.

“Honestly? Go back to the hotel. I’m...I don’t know, not sleepy really, just feeling...”

“Introverted?” she asked.

“Yeah, I guess so. I want to be in the hotel room with you, relaxing.”

“We can do that. I kind of feel the same way. Feeling a little introverted and lazy right now. And a little horny.”

“I think I can accommodate that,” he said.

She laughed. “Yeah, I just bet.”

They drove through the city, making their way back to the hotel. Alex found his mind wandering again, thinking about creativity, about his own cautious endeavors into the field of ambient music. And suddenly he wanted to talk about it.

“I’ve been thinking about making music,” he said.

“Oh?” Brianna asked. She sounded excited.

“Yeah. I don’t know, being here...I don’t know if it’s here, or if it’s just that it’s so very different from what I’m used to, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. Especially today. I want to...you know, honestly, I do want to make music, but that’s secondary to what I’ve really been feeling the urge to do.”

“And what’s that?”

“Start thinking about it beyond it being a hobby. I want to...I don’t know, like, catalog what I have, start thinking about putting together a first real album, figure out social media and maybe put together a website. I used to be really into those ideas a few years ago but it kind of fell off when I saw how expensive it could get and how complicated some of it was. But now that you’ve offered to help, I mean, it just feels more...possible, I guess. Like it’s something I could actually do, instead of this intangible, impossible, vague goal.”

“That is fucking awesome to hear,” Brianna replied. “Let me know if you want any kind of help, because I really do want to be there for you. I believe in the importance of a creative outlet, and honestly, it’s just exciting. Getting a creative project off the ground is always pretty fun.” She sighed wistfully. “Getting my first novel out, figuring all that shit out...those were really good times.”

“You could probably recapture that,” Alex said, then kind of wished he hadn’t. Brianna was pretty laid back and in control, but her past with her novels definitely seemed to be a sore spot, and he didn’t blame her for that at all.

He just hated seeing her be unhappy.

“Maybe,” she said. “I still think about it from time to time. I’ve got books half-written on my computer back home...” she sighed again, this time less wistfully. “I don’t know. Sometimes I tell myself I’ll get back into it someday, but more and more often I think about other things. Nothing really speaks to me like writing, but what happen feels like...poison, I guess. My relationship with writing is tainted.”

“That’s so depressing,” he murmured.

“Isn’t it? Sorry, not trying to be depressing. It’s just a frustrating situation. Someday I’m going to have to face it. Someday, I’m going to have to actually sit down and figure out precisely what I want to do. If I intend to just give up on it or make a real go of it...but not today! Or tomorrow. That someday is in the future. Today, I’m on vacation with my boyfriend and we’re going back to the hotel room to have sex.”

His body reacted to her saying that. His heart kicked a little in his chest, his stomach shifted, his cock twitched. Fuck, just hearing her say the word made him horny. He heard her laugh softly and glanced over at her.

“What?”

“I just think it’s a little funny...I say one word and your whole train of thought totally derails,” she replied.

“How can you even tell?” he asked.

“Humans are easy to read when you’re a paranormal. Especially if you’re a werewolf. I can smell it when you’re horny.”

“Really? Is it annoying?”

“No, not at all. I like the smell.”

“So, you knew that I was horny around you like...all the fucking time?”

“Yeah. That’s why I kept waiting for you to make a damned move on me. I mean, I figured you would eventually. Given enough time, do you think you would have?”

“I want to say yes, but...I doubt it. I mean, I believe what I told you earlier: you were, and are, way out my league.”

“And yet, here I am, having sex with you like four times a day and sharing you with all the sexy ladies. What lesson did you learn?”

“That sometimes you can get really, really lucky?” he replied.

She laughed and rolled her eyes. “That’s not a lesson, that’s just a fact of life. No, Alex. The lesson is: ask. Don’t be afraid of no. You did get lucky, but look what you could’ve had if you’d just asked.”

“How was I supposed to know?”

“You weren’t. Which is why you should ask. You won’t know until you ask.”

Well, she had a point. They pulled into the parking lot of their hotel and hurried into the building. His thoughts were rapidly dissolving as he realized that every step took him closer to sex and fuck did he want her so bad right then. The elevator finally hit their floor and they practically ran down the hallway. Brianna swiped her thumb and shoved the door open. As soon as it was closed, she grabbed him and kissed him hard on the mouth.

There was no question about what they were doing next.

She guided him into the bedroom and then shoved him back onto the bed. “Get those clothes off,” she growled.

“Yes ma’am,” he replied, laughing.

Both of them hastily undressed, and as soon as she was free of the last of her clothing, Brianna clambered quickly up onto the bed and atop him just as he finished getting nude and laying his head against the pillows. She straddled him, kissing him hard on the mouth. He kissed her back, slipping his tongue into her mouth as he let his hands run over her smooth, fit, pale body. He hugged her to him, feeling her huge, warm, bare breasts press against him and basked in the feel of her. He loved feeling how eager she was for this, for him.

He grasped her tight ass as they kept twisting tongues.

She broke the kiss suddenly. “No foreplay, okay?” she asked, breathing heavily. “Too horny.”

“Fine by me,” he replied. He had no doubt that she was more than wet enough already. “How do you want it?”

“Doggystyle,” she said immediately.

“You got it.”

She dismounted him, and he quickly got up, then shifted behind her as she got onto her hands and knees, presenting that tight, toned ass of hers to him. He loved how in shape she was, hot fit she was. Her body was phenomenal. And her pussy looked so good, pink and glistening and ready for him. He got up against her and slipped in, groaning loudly as the pleasure hit him like hammer. “Fuck...” he moaned loudly.

“Mmm...you love that, don’t you?” she whispered, her voice heavy and husky. “You love it when you first go inside.”

“Yes,” he moaned, gripping her hips tightly and pushing all the way into her, making her groan loudly. “I fucking love it.”

He began sliding in and out of her, fucking her sweet werewolf pussy, lost in the pleasure, the rapturous bliss of being inside of her. Alex couldn’t believe she was his girlfriend. She was like a dream, too good to be true.

“Yes!” she cried as he started going faster and harder, their skin slapping together as his hips met her ass, “fuck that pussy, Alex!”

“Oh, Brianna...” he moaned, pounding her.

“Keep going, honey. Keep going...”

He hunched forward, totally lost inside of her, lost inside the pleasure of her hot, wet pussy, of her pressing against him. He could feel her and the way she moved in perfect sync with him, could feel her heartbeat. He listened to her, not just her wonderfully sexual sounds of bliss but her breathing and the smaller, softer sounds she made.

“Alex...” she said.

“Yeah, babe?”

“You wanna fuck me in the ass?”

“Oh, fucking hell yes,” he replied immediately.

She laughed. “I kinda figured. Here.” She tossed something over her shoulder at him. “I can take it hard, so don’t hold back. I love it hard in the ass.”

“You are the best fucking girlfriend on the planet,” he replied as he pulled out of her pussy and quickly lubed his cock up.

“I’m still okay with that assessment,” she said.

As soon as he was lubed up, he placed his cock in the right position and began working his way inside of her. She moaned loudly, and so did he. Her ass was fucking tight. He’d always wondered what it would feel like, and had often fantasized about this. Although she had big, fantastic tits, Brianna wasn’t really curvy otherwise. She had a nice, fit ass. And he was learning that his fantasies about how goddamned tight it was were very true.

Her ass felt amazing on his cock.

The pleasure was hot and intense, the drag on his dick like waves, like a hard mainline hit of some drug. He groaned, gripping her hips tightly, digging his fingertips into her soft, warm, pale skin, and really started giving it to her up that fantastically tight, fit ass of hers. She screamed and pushed against him, their skin slapping together, the sound filling the hotel room. It was rapture. Listening to her scream, feeling her twitch and writhe under his grasp, pushing against him, actually feeling how fucking into the sex she was, how desperate she was to be having it with him, made the experience far, far more potent and powerful.

“Fuck...keep going, honey...” she moaned loudly. “Just a little bit...fuck, I’m coming!”

He felt her whole body convulse as she let out an inarticulate scream of joyous release and intense pleasure, and he felt a hot spray of feminine sex juices escape her pussy, getting all over his thighs and hips and balls. He kept fucking her ass and just at the end of her orgasm, his began. He cried out, hips jerking forward, his seed beginning to leave his body as he came hard. It was pure, uncut bliss as he came into her.

When he was finished, he slowly extracted his cock from her and flopped onto the bed, breathing heavily, as she fell forward.

“Fuck,” he gasped.

“Good, huh?” Brianna replied.

“Amazing.” He laid there for a few more seconds. “I feel like you’re too good to me.”

“Too good? Why?”

“I don’t know. I guess it would just be a rehash of what I’ve said before...”

Brianna shifted and rolled over, laying on him. “You feel undeserving. Like I said, cutie, don’t get hung up on ‘deserve’.”

“I know. I’m trying. It’s a...habit, I guess. I’m trying to break it, but...”

“It takes time. I know. Try to focus on the happiness, but it’s also good to understand the unhappiness. All that said...how was my ass? As good as you imagined it was when you were jerking off all those nights?”

“I...yeah. Better.”

“Still weird you out that I talk about that?”

“Kinda.”

She laughed, then stared at him a bit more seriously. “I’ve got a suggestion,” she said. “If you’re willing to listen.”

“I’m always willing to listen to you, Brianna,” he replied.

“I’m glad. Although, I think this will happen as a natural side effect of being with me and my friends, I think it would better if you were more aware of it, just try to be more...open, I guess. About sex. I am a little hesitant to give this advice, because I know sex is a pretty sensitive topic for a number of reasons, and obviously, having your limits is fine. I’m not saying you should just jump into everything with zero regard, no matter how you feel about it. It’s perfect fine to have a firm ‘no’ stance on things. I guess, what I’m saying is, don’t be afraid to let yourself experiment. Let yourself enjoy things, let yourself trust.

“I know it’s kind of redundant to say, but you can trust me, and I wouldn’t invite anyone into our bed that I didn’t trust.”

“I do trust you,” he replied.

She smiled. “Good. Although, I have to say, sometimes I’ll want to invite random hookups into our bed, so...use your own discretion there, obviously. I mean, I’ve got a really good ability to read people, but don’t be afraid to tell me ‘no’ if someone doesn’t sit right with you. Because I also trust you and want to respect your judgment.”

“I’ll do that, although it might be a little difficult. You’re...you’ve got a strong personality.”

“I try not to, with you at least,” she said. “It’s a little expected, for paranormals. We’re kind of like forces of nature sometimes. Not all of us, but a lot of us. I’m not being overbearing, am I?”

“No, not at all. Trust me, I’ll tell you.”

“Okay. Good. Now...I really need a shower.”

“Same.”

They got out of bed and headed into the bathroom, flipping on the light and turning on the shower. Once it was properly heated, they slipped inside and closed the door behind him. Brianna pulled down one of the showerheads and began cleaning herself, aiming it up between her legs. “You blew a big fucking load.”

“It seems to be a habit,” he replied.

She laughed. “I know. Sex is wonderfully messy. I feel lucky in that regard. Either cause I’m a werewolf or cause I’m just me, I like all the filthy aspects of fucking. I fucking love feeling you orgasm inside of me, or having you blow a load on my face. I don’t know why, just do. But I know a lot of girls just put up with it, instead of enjoying it. So...what do you feel like doing?”

“Staying in and doing some music stuff. If that’s okay.”

“That’s excellent, actually. I’d love to just hang out and lounge around with you. You can work on your music and I can do stuff online, maybe try to track down a few more friends, and see what’s going on in the city that might interest us.” She grinned as she replaced the showerhead and then hugged him. “I think this is going to be one of my favorite aspects of our relationship.”

“What?” he asked, hugging her back.

“Being able to just relax together. Not even like doing stuff together, just doing stuff in the same room, and that’s enough. That’s one of the reasons I really like you. You’re so low maintenance. You don’t need attention from me all the freaking time.” She paused. “But, don’t let that scare you off from asking for attention from me. I will happily give it.”

“Don’t worry, I’m figuring you and our relationship out, I think,” he replied.

“Good. You’re taking me at face value. I appreciate that.”

He kissed her, then began the process of getting cleaned up. Once they had washed and dried off, they headed back into the bedroom. Alex pulled on his boxers, booted up his laptop, and took a seat at one of the two desks in the bedroom. Again, he marveled at just how damned big this hotel room was. Once his laptop was up and running, he automatically began to go through the motions that he’d gotten used to doing: checking his e-mail, checking the little bits of social media he actually participated in, checking a few of his favorite sites.

He had a few new e-mails. Two were spam, but one caught his eye.

It was from Lapis.

Hey Alex.

I’ve been doing okay I guess, kind of been in a slump lately. I’m glad you’re coming to Thorne. It’s a really interesting place. As for possibly meeting up? I’ll have to think about it. It’s nothing against you; I love our conversations and your music is really awesome. But you know me: Miss Social Anxiety Extraordinaire.

How long are you in town for, so I know how long I’ve got to waffle?

-Lapis

He hit reply, then hesitated, wondering how to respond. He really did want to meet Lapis. He was genuinely curious about what she was like in person. He knew so little about her. But he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable.

He began typing.

I’m not sure how long we’ll be in town for. At least a few more days, but possibly longer. I’m in...kind of a weird place right now. If you don’t want to meet in person, that’s fine. I don’t want to do anything to make you uncomfortable, but if you do, let me know and we can make it happen. No pressure either way.

He considered typing more, but that seemed to be enough of a response, and on top of that, he was getting kind of desperate to get started. Thoughts about what to do, how to get this all started, had been buzzing around in his head all day, and for the most part he’d ignored them. Occasionally, he’d intentionally think about one aspect or another, but for some reason, some instinct inside of him told him to let it wait.

Now, he was very glad that he had listened to that.

Because it was like trying to set off an explosion in a room filled with gas. If you started trying to light it right away, you wouldn’t get much. But if you let that room fill with gas for hours and hours, then tried to light it?

Boom.

And that’s what it was like.

The only problem was that he wasn’t sure where to begin. After a few moments of contemplation, Alex ultimately decided that what he really needed to begin this whole thing was a comprehensive and accurate list of what he had to work with. In regard to actual songs, and any kind of online presence he’d been building up. It seemed like a good place to start. From there, he could figure out what the next step was.

Alex descended into his work for close to an hour, in a way he had not for a long time now. Or what felt like a long time. He lost himself in the simple pleasure of cataloging his material, his mind occasionally spiraling off into other thoughts, possibilities, potential things he might do first. A plan, or really the bare skeletal outline of a plan, gradually began to take shape over the course of that hour. One thing he realized was that he honestly didn’t have a great deal to work with in the form of an online community.

He had profiles on three of the dozen or so biggest social media platforms, and after a bit of consideration, ended up deleting one of them, because he felt like it wasn’t going to go anywhere. Although it wasn’t like he had a massive following on either of the other two. And on one of them it was just a personal page, nothing for his...stage name? Alter ego? Whatever it was called. He called himself Blueshift. It was something he’d picked awhile ago and it had kind of stuck. Mainly because it sounded space-y, which his music kind of did, too. Or at least that’s what he was going for. And because his favorite color was blue.

On a whim, he almost began putting together a profile for himself on the social media site, but hesitated. He didn’t have anything coherent to offer, not yet. No, if he was being smart, he’d do a full launch, which would entail a lot more work.

After checking over his musical database, he had a total of twenty seven tracks. Those were all he had to his name after roughly five years of work. Not a lot, especially considering about a dozen of them were pretty old and basic. He almost deleted them, but hesitated on that front too. No, he shouldn’t make big decisions today. Although he did have a few ideas. Maybe he could remaster some of them...or all of them. He’d picked up a lot of new little tricks and abilities over the years, just little things that made the music sound better or clearer, or a certain track that hadn’t come out well three years ago, he might now listen to and realize what he was going for, and remake it. He could think of at least three songs like that.

By the time he was beginning to run out of steam, Alex came away from the experience with two things: a list of what he had to work with, and the realization that this was actually going to take a lot of work on his part. But perhaps the best aspect of this entire experience was that that didn’t bother him. At all. If anything, he was looking forward to the work associated with it, even the more tedious aspects of the creation of his art.

That was exciting.

When he was finished, he powered down his laptop and crawled back into bed with Brianna. “Seems like you were really busy over there,” she said, setting her own laptop aside and letting him curl up against her.

“I was. It was...really nice,” he replied. “A lot of fun.”

“Good! That’s so great to hear. But it seems like you’re done, or at least you want a break. What now? Up for anything in particular?”

“I kinda want to just relax for awhile, maybe watch a movie or just talk with you...could we get access to a gaming console here?”

“We absolutely can,” Brianna replied, grinning. “You wanna get online and dominate some people with me in Beneath A Red Sun?”

“Oh man...how long has it been since we’ve played that?” he replied, thinking fondly back on the first person shooter game they’d picked up somewhere near the beginning of their friendship. After tearing through its stellar campaign together, they’d made a habit out of getting online and playing a dozen matches a day for awhile.

“Sometime last month, but it feels like longer.”

“Yes. I want to do that.”

“Then I’ll get the proper materials brought up here. And some pizza. I’m starving again.”

CHAPTER FOUR

“What are you thinking about, Alex?”

He blinked and came back to himself as Brianna’s words came to him, and realized that he’d kind of drifted off into his own head. He did that sometimes and wondered if it would grow to bother her. They were at breakfast. The night had been a good one of relaxation and lounging around. They’d played Beneath A Red Sun for about four hours, breaking twice for sex, and had gone through three large pizzas.

Brianna had eaten most of them.

He was still amazed at how much she could eat.

“Passion, I guess,” he replied.

“Oh yeah?” she asked, a small smile sprouting on her face. She leaned forward, showing him more of her pale cleavage.

His thoughts were interrupted for a second, but he made himself refocus. “No, not that kind of passion,” he said, then paused and smiled, “not that I don’t appreciate it.”

“What kind then?” she asked, becoming more serious as she straightened back up.

“The creative kind.”

“Oh? Tell me about it. I want to talk about this. I haven’t had someone to talk creative with on an intimate level in too long,” she said eagerly.

“Okay, although I doubt whatever I could offer you is particularly interesting, given the wide age gap between us and how far advanced you are in being creative, in general.”

“Don’t doubt yourself, Alex. Good creative people, really just good people, always at least listen to thoughts regardless of what ‘level’ they’re coming from. Different perspectives are important. Now, talk, boyfriend.”

He laughed. “Okay, girlfriend,” he replied, feeling a very real thrill at being able to accurately refer to her as such, “I’ll talk. It’s nothing deep. I guess I was just thinking about how, when I was younger, a teenager, I had so much passion. I wanted to work on projects like...all the time. Freaking always. Sometimes making music is all I would think about. I’ve actually made dozens and dozens of tracks, but I’ve discarded a lot of them. Well, made might be overselling it. I’ve started dozens and dozens of tracks. I thought about albums and cover art and titles and tours and...I don’t know. Everything.”

“But…?” she asked.

“But that faded. It trailed off. It drifted away. I’m only now actually realizing how insane the contrast in my...creative self, I guess, is. Last night, I felt that passion again. I was thrilled, and I was just organizing stuff. I wasn’t even making music. It was fun. I guess what’s bothering me is...how could I feel so insanely motivated and passionate about something, and then that just...goes away? Did I ever truly care about it?”

“I believe you did,” Brianna said. “But you’re confusing two different things.”

“What?” he asked.

“How to explain this best...okay, so, that passion you’re describing. There’s a lot of words used to describe it, but people most often use the word ‘inspiration’. As in, ‘I’m feeling inspired’. As you’ve stated, it’s a powerful feeling. It’s intoxicating. And when you’re first getting started, it feels like you’ve got an unlimited supply. Like you could outlast the sun. But the more you do whatever creative thing it is you do, the more seriously you take it, the more that begins to diminish. And, perhaps more importantly, it lies to you.” She leaned forward a little, staring at him with emphasis. “The first thing you really need to learn about being creative in a more serious capacity is that inspiration is a cheating slut, Alex.”

He laughed. “What?”

She grinned. “How many times have you been working on something, and you get hardly halfway done before a brand new idea comes at you, and oh man, it would be so cool! So, you drop what you’re doing for now and go work on that brand new idea. How many times?”

“A lot,” he replied.

“Exactly. And then it happens again. And again. It gets hard to finish things. Inspiration doesn’t care that you finish things, inspiration isn’t looking for commitment. Inspiration is just looking for the next quick, hot fuck, Alex. Which hey, in the bedroom, that can be a good, fun thing. But when it comes to creativity? Never trust inspiration. Use it. But don’t trust it. That simple line is what separates amateurs from professionals. And, honestly, I don’t have absolutely anything against people that do something creative as a hobby. I personally think that everyone should have some kind of creative hobby. But I’ve heard enough people in my life talk about how they are going to be, or want to be a writer, a dancer, a painter, a musician, a director, without actually committing to it, that...well, it gets tiresome.” She reached across the table suddenly and took his hand. “Please don’t think for a second that any of this is directed at you. I’ve never got that impression of you.”

He considered it for a moment. “Hmm...maybe you should have,” he murmured. “I mean, I’ve done that. I’ve talked about how I want to be a musician, how I want to make ambient music as a career.”

“And you’ve produced music. You’ve got over two hundred followers now on Unchained.”

“How do you know that?” he asked.

She pulled her hand back, chewing on her lower lip with an uncharacteristic look of discomfort on her face. “I, you know, keep an eye on you. Online.”

“You do?”

“Yeah. I mean, I had a crush on you. And I was interested to see what you had produced. So yes, dear, I kind of keep tabs on your music.”

“Well...thank you.”

She laughed. “That’s not precisely the reaction I expected.”

“You cared enough to keep tabs on me. That’s good to hear.”

“Yeah, well I-” She paused as her phone buzzed and she pulled it out and studied it. “Oh, nice. I finally got a text back from Aurora. She’s free, and she wants to meet you and hang out.” She looked up at him. “You up for hanging out with, and probably banging, a hot redheaded vampire?”

“Do you even need to ask?” he replied.

“I suppose not, but I thought it’d be polite. Let’s go.”

…

Alex felt that unfortunately familiar anxiety bubbling around in his guts as Brianna drove them smoothly through Thorne. It was a nice day out, cool, clouds on the horizon. Maybe they’d get lucky and it’d rain again soon.

“So, what’s she like?” he asked, trying to calm himself. After all that had happened over the past several days, he was still anxious meeting a new girl. Well, she was a vampire, he’d seen her naked before, and fuck was she hot. A solid ten. Then again, he thought a lot of women were tens. And he also thought that metric had kind of lost its meaning lately. Maybe it should. It was kind of a dumb scale anyway.

“She’s a party girl,” Brianna replied. “She goes to dances, raves, strip clubs. Sometimes to strip, sometimes to watch. Sometimes she checks herself into a brothel for a month to satisfy her massive sex drive and fatten up her bank account, then she goes on a three week party bender.”

“Wow...” he whispered.

“Yeah, and she’s actually mellowed. It used to be like a three month bender. Seriously, she would just go and go, and fucking go. It was nuts. When we were hanging out near the end, she was...not settling down. Really, I don’t want to give you that impression. But she definitely had at least as many down days as up days. Sometimes she’d say fuck off and not leave her house for a week.” Looking over at Alex, she saw a pensive look on his face. “What’s wrong? You’ve got that look on your face.”

“What look?” he replied, trying, and failing, not to sound defensive.

She smirked. “That afraid look. That nervous look.”

“I guess I’m just concerned that she’ll, you know, not care about me at all. I mean, she’s a crazy party girl vampire who’s probably as old as you are, if not older. Why would she have any interest in me?”

“Aurora is like me,” she said, then considered it, twisting her lips. “She’ll be nice to you. I can promise you that much. I can’t promise that she’ll be super into you, but she will respect you, and at the very least she’ll fuck you.”

“You’re sure?”

“Oh yeah. I am positive. She already said she wanted to. Remember, she, like me, has a kind of fetish for fucking and corrupting cute young human boys. But...I don’t know. I think she’ll really like you on a deeper level than that. There’s just something about you, Alex. I mean, everyone I’ve introduced you to so far has liked you.”

“Have they?”

“Yeah. You didn’t pick up on that?”

“I...” he sighed. “I don’t know. It’s hard for me to tell and I try not to make assumptions.”

“I guess it’s probably a better idea not to assume, but...maybe also be open to letting people like you,” Brianna said as she pulled off the road.

“I guess so,” he murmured, considering it.

The parking lot she pulled into was small, sandwiched between three buildings, old and cracked, with just a few cars in it. Once she’d parked, they got out and headed for the rightmost structure, which reminded him a little bit of an antiques shop. A cold gust of wind blew across the area and he looked up. The clouds were closer, darker, heavier. He smelled rain on the air and felt his spirits swell, buoying his mood.

They stepped in through the front entrance and came into some kind of shop. At first, he had no idea what he was looking at. There were a lot of shelves all around and a vast number of things, mostly things in glass jars, beakers, vials, and a wide variety of other containers sat on these shelves. He heard someone talking at the back of the shop, a vaguely familiar female voice. As they made their way through the shelves, he realized why he recognized that voice. Because he had heard the woman it belonged to moaning and screaming on a sex tape he’d seen not all that long ago. And now he was looking at her in real life.

They found Aurora standing at the back of the shop near a counter that ran almost the whole length of the store. She was talking with another woman who stood on the other side. Both of them looked very beautiful, their features hinting at the exotic. Aurora was a tall, pale, fucking tatted redhead. He didn’t remember her having any tattoos in the video, but she clearly did now. And they were fucking hot. She had blue flames up her left arm, a blue skull peeking out of the low-cut t-shirt she was wearing, right over her considerable cleavage, and some kind of tribal design over her left eye. A blood-red rose on her right arm with pedals floating further down.

The woman behind the counter was shorter, looked a bit older, and had wild blue-pink hair, a nose-ring, mocha colored skin, one green eye and one bright white one, and a black choker collar on around her slim throat.

The tattooed redhead turned, and her blue eyes lit up as she let out a little scream. “Bri!” she yelled, and crossed the distance between them faster than his eyes could comfortably follow. She wrapped Brianna in a hug, picked her up, and kissed her hard on the mouth. Brianna let out her own squeal of joy and kissed her back, hugging her fiercely.

“It’s so good to see you,” Brianna said as they let go of each other.

“And you, Brianna. Fuck, you look good! Now...” She turned away and stared pointedly at Alex with a little smile on her startlingly attractive, pale face. “You must be the boytoy.”

“Boyfriend,” Brianna said firmly.

“Okay, Bri. Boyfriend. I’m Aurora.”

“I’m Alex,” he said, and then he added, for no reason that he could think of, “I’ve seen you naked.”

It was like someone had stepped into his skull and taken over his mouth. He immediately prepared to apologize, because why the fuck would he say that!? Oh God, how to come back from this? Hesitating, he looked over at Brianna to see her reaction. Brianna’s eyes had gone wide and a huge smile had split her face.

And then Aurora laughed loudly. “Wow, your boyfriend is fucking brave!” she said between laughs.

“I don’t think he meant to say that,” Brianna replied, and giggled. “Look at him, he looks like he’s staring down the barrel of a gun.”

“You can relax, Alex,” Aurora said, still grinning, “I understand. I can be intimidating. And I know you’ve seen me naked. I remember Brianna asking me if it was okay to show you the video.” She looked at the woman behind the counter. “Since we’re doing introductions, this is Ash.”

“Hello, Alex,” the woman said, smirking at him, “you’re in way over your head, aren’t you?”

“He most certainly is not,” Brianna said. “He just...needs a little help getting acquainted with paranormal culture.”

“From what I remember about you, Bri, and from how this conversation is going so far, I get the feeling you’re really helping him get acquainted with one specific aspect of paranormal culture, huh?” she asked.

“Well, duh. Of course, I am,” Brianna replied. “He’s handling himself marvelously.”

Alex wasn’t sure if he should actually say something or just stay quiet. All three of them intimidated him to varying degrees, and he didn’t want to put his foot in his mouth again. Thankfully, he was saved from having to make that decision when the front door opened up and three men walked in. Looking over at them, Alex immediately felt a new type of discomfort settle over him.

He felt intimidated in a very different way, and real fear stole into him.

They were all men, maybe human from what he could see, though they could be werewolves as far as he knew. One in the middle was smaller, maybe a few inches shorter than he was, and thin. The other two were big and bulky. They looked...very confident. And cruel. Something about them screamed criminal.

Brianna, Aurora, and Ash immediately lost their smiles and turned to regard the three men. “What do you want?” Ash asked, and he was surprised by how cold and intimidating she sounded after pleasantly teasing him just seconds ago.

“You know why we’re here, witch,” the man in the middle replied as he marched up to the counter, brushing past Alex, Brianna, and Aurora without a second glance. “You’ve been warned twice now and twice you’ve been stupid enough to tell us to piss off. Third time’s the charm. Cough up or we’re going to start breaking things.”

Ash sighed. “No fucking subtlety anymore,” she muttered. “Third time is the charm, I agree. Piss off, Richard. Or should I just cut to the quick and call you ‘Dick’?”

“Alex,” Brianna said, her voice was almost cheerful, but he could hear hints of danger in it, something he’d never heard from her before, “get behind some cover, dear.”

He got behind the counter with Ash, crawling over it before turning back to watching the display before him.

“You want us to take care of this?” Aurora asked Ash without taking her eyes off the trio of men attempting to menace them.

“That would be appreciated. Just, you know, no permanent damage, and try not to break anything,” Ash replied.

One of the bigger guys turned to look at Brianna and Aurora and laughed. “You kidding me? What are you two little girls going to do?” he asked.

“Yeah,” the other one began, “do you think-” He cut off abruptly and his smile immediately vanished when he laid eyes more firmly on Aurora. “Oh fuck, this one’s a fucking vampire!”

“You can handle her,” the little guy, the boss, presumably, said, though he didn’t sound too confident.

“You didn’t say there’d be a fucking vampire,” the other big guy muttered.

“Oh man, if they’re this upset knowing you’re a vampire, imagine how pissed they’re gonna be when they learn I’m a werewolf,” Brianna said.

Now even the boss paled. Gritting his teeth, his eyes wide, he stared at them, then cut his gaze to Ash, who still stood tall and firm behind the counter, arms across her chest. “This doesn’t change a fucking thing you bitch,” he growled, his voice low and angry and, though he was trying to hide it, afraid. “You owe us and we’re going to get that money-”

He didn’t get to finish his sentence. Brianna’s fist shot forward faster than Alex could properly track and hit him square in the face. There was an awful crack and a spray of blood, and the sorry bastard was literally picked up off his feet and thrown backwards. He landed flat on his back, screaming in agony.

One of the big guys made a move for Brianna, and he saw that they were fast as well. Were they human? If they were paranormals, clearly, they were significantly less powerful than a vampire or a werewolf, though they clearly still felt confident enough to walk in and threaten a witch, or potentially three of them, given that that’s what they thought Brianna and Aurora must be. Or maybe human customers. Maybe they were just stupid and overconfident.

Gangsters typically were, if what he’d seen in movies and read in books was anything to go by. Aurora intercepted the big guy’s fist. Although Aurora was tall, this guy had to be four inches taller than she was, and twice, or more, as wide with muscle. But his hand stopped like it’d punched a concrete wall when it hit her hand, and he cried out as she gripped it. He immediately dropped to his knees.

“Let go!” he screamed, and tried to hit her with his other hand.

She grabbed it as well and now held both of his fists, grinning darkly down at him. “Are you and your moron friends going to leave?” she asked. Her voice was almost sweet, but mostly mocking. The man screamed something incoherent.

“What was that? I didn’t catch it,” Aurora said.

She squeezed. Something snapped, and Alex winced.

“Yes!” he cried. “We’ll leave! Let go! Fuck! Let go!”

She let go and he moaned in relief, collapsing to the floor, holding his hands to him. The other big tough jackass had frozen up, staring at the pair of women with wide, terrified eyes. “Get over here, you morons!” their boss snapped.

The unhurt thug took this opportunity to rapidly retreat and help his boss up to his feet. The other guy groaned and shifted, getting slowly up as well.

“Come back again, and I’ll give you some damage you aren’t going to walk away from. Got it?” Aurora growled.

“This isn’t over!” the boss yelled as he was helped to his feet.

Alex felt his heart hammering in his chest, prepared to duck down behind the counter. He’d never been in a fight before, or even a dangerous situation remotely like this, or seen anything like this play out in real life.

Aurora shot forward at his comment, apparently not done, and not content to tolerate his obnoxious posturing, or even allowing him to limp away with some false sense of bravado. Wrapping her fingers around the guy’s throat, she scooped him up, holding him a full foot off the ground.

“What was that?! I didn’t fucking hear you!” she snapped, now obviously pissed. The guy beat uselessly at her arm as his two bodyguards stood uselessly by, doing nothing to help him. One of them stepped forward uncertainly, but froze as Brianna stepped closer and cleared her throat.

“Fuck! Off!” the boss gargled out, thrashing in her firm grip.

“Tell me you aren’t going to come back here! Say it! Say those words or I’ll fucking snap your goddamned neck!”

The man stopped thrashing and Alex felt himself trembling. He had just met Aurora and already he knew that she could be extremely violent when she wanted to be. He believed her. So, apparently, did the gang leader.

“I won’t come back here! Fuck!” he gagged.

Aurora dropped him. “Get out of here.”

Gasping and coughing violently, he staggered to his feet, gathered up his bodyguards, and hurried out of the shop.

No one spoke for close to a minute as they watched them get into a vehicle and tear out of the parking lot.

“What the hell was that about?” Aurora asked, her voice as calm as if nothing at all had happened. She and Brianna began heading back to the counter.

“Those fucking morons have been coming around basically leaning on me for ‘protection’ money. You know how it goes. ‘Give us money or something bad will happen to you and your store’. God, they’re so crass and vulgar these days. They didn’t even go with, ‘it’d be a real shame if something happened to this beautiful shop you’ve got here’, you know?”

“Yeah,” Brianna said. “Ridiculous.” She looked at Alex and her features immediately changed. “Oh, God, Alex. I’m so sorry,” she said, hurrying over to him.

He felt sick to his stomach. He was probably as white as a sheet and he was trembling from sick fear and adrenaline. Brianna came back behind the counter and wrapped him in a hug. “I’m sorry, honey. God, you look terrified,” she whispered.

“I, uh...that was a little stressful,” he managed, hugging her back fiercely.

“Fuck, I’m sorry. You are in over your head,” she muttered. “It’s okay, babe.”

He didn’t want to look at Aurora or Ash, they seemed so mature and so much cooler than him, especially after the ease with which they’d handled this potentially extremely dangerous situation. He couldn’t help but think they’d probably look down on him for caving under such little pressure. He was practically a crying mess after what was, to them, a seeming walk in the park. But, looking up, all he saw in their eyes was empathy.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for that to happen,” Aurora said. “God, I probably scared the shit out of you. I’m not a violent person, it’s just...you know...”

“Violence was required,” Alex said. Stepping back from Brianna, he cleared his throat and tried to calm himself. Nothing bad had actually happened. Well, not to them anyway.

“Probably,” Ash said.

“All right, I think Alex needs a chance to chill out and get his senses back,” Aurora said. “How about the two of you come over to my place and we smoke a little weed? We can just relax and hang out, and...well, if it makes you feel any better, I do intend to fuck you, if you’ll have me.”

“I, uh...yeah, I was hoping for that,” he replied.

She laughed. “Good.”

“Should we be worried about them?” Alex asked uncertainly. “I mean, you humiliated them pretty badly and I can’t imagine they’ll just give up.”

“They were humans,” Ash said. “Jumped up on some kind of magic, but still just opportunistic little pricks. Maybe they’ll come back with something a bit bigger and badder, but I can take care of myself. Honestly, I think they’ll just count their blessings and move on, and try to find another place that’s easier to shake down. And here, on the house, since I know it’s why you came in.”

She set down a decent sized bag of weed.

“I appreciate it, Ash,” Aurora said, taking it and slipping it into one of the big pockets of the cargo pants she had on.

“Not a problem.” She looked at Alex. “Why don’t you come back around here sometime? I’ll see if I can’t find something you’ll really like.”

“We’ll be back, I’m sure,” Brianna said when Alex didn’t know how to respond to that. Was that a proposition or, like, a proposition?

Because if it was, he had to admit, he totally wanted to have sex with Ash. She was beautiful and exotic.

Maybe they had the right idea: thinking about sex was already beginning to clear out the shaky anxiety he’d come down with, though he imagined it would be several hours before he felt completely back to normal.

“Come on, you can drive me over there,” Aurora said, leading them out of the store.

Saying goodbye to Ash, they followed her outside to Brianna’s car.

…

“Tell me about yourself, Alex,” Aurora said.

He and her were sitting in the back of Brianna’s car now as Brianna drove them through the city again. Aurora had opted to lay down in the back with her head resting in his lap. He had to admit, it was hard to focus on fear and anxiety when a really attractive woman, who had already offered to have sex with him, was lounging against him like it was no big deal.

“Um...not too much to tell,” he murmured.

In addition to that, it was hard to focus because the shirt she was wearing, combined with the way she was laying, meant he had a really good view of her very large breasts. They had a tendency to sway when Brianna turned the car or put on the brakes.

“Come on, Brianna’s dating you and fucking your brains out. She’s calling you her boyfriend. It’s been a long time since she’s called a human her boyfriend. You must have something worthwhile going on,” Aurora replied.

“Well, I make music. Or I did. Or, well, I’m going to start making music again,” he said. It was hard to think.

“I love musicians,” she replied, grinning up at him. He could see her fangs, and her eyes were very bloodshot. “What kind of music?”

Brianna turned onto another street. Aurora’s large, pale breasts swayed again. “Um...ambient,” he said, swallowing.

“Ooh, nice! I love ambient music. And techno. Trance. That kind of stuff. Mostly I love rave shit but there’s a lot to be said for cool, relaxing stuff. You got anything I can listen to?”

“Uh...sort of,” he murmured, distracted.

She sighed. “Here,” she said, and reached down. Grabbing his hand, she also gripped her shirtfront and lifted it up, revealing her beautiful breasts, before she slipped his hand into her shirt and let go of it. Now his hand was settled over one of her big tits and he groaned softly.

“What did you just do?” Brianna asked.

“Nothing.”

“Aurora.”

“He was distracted by my boobs. So, I put his hand in my shirt.”

“Yeah, because actually touching boobs isn’t a lot more distracting than just looking at them or anything,” Brianna muttered.

Aurora laughed. “Fair point. Alex? You still with me?”

“Uh...yeah,” he replied. Her breast was wonderful, although she felt kind of cold. Well, she was a vampire, and it wasn’t like it was diminishing the experience of touching her. He tried to clear his mind. “I’ve got some tracks made. A few dozen. But I’m kind of undergoing like...redevelopment right now.”

“Oh, nice. Well, if you have anything you feel like showing me while you’re in town, then I’ll be here to listen...I can feel your dick.”

“I, uh, sorry,” he muttered, feeling both very uncomfortable and very aroused. Groping her breast had pushed him back into a full-on erection.

“I’m not,” she said. “Feels like a decent size. Not that I’m overly concerned with that. Don’t worry, we’re almost to my place. When we get there, we’ll go inside, and you and I will have a nice, beautiful screw.”

“I...appreciate that,” he replied.

She giggled. “You’ve got yourself such a cute, awkward human here, Brianna.”

Brianna sighed. “Stop calling him that.”

Aurora frowned and looked up at him. “I’m sorry, Alex. I’m not trying to be demeaning. I’ve just spent a lot of time recently around people who...what’s the best way to put it? Talk about their human playmates how frat bros talk about their friends with benefits. It is a little dehumanizing...I guess I don’t have a good defense here. It’s just that a lot of the humans I see at parties are pretty submissive to their paranormal boyfriends and girlfriends, and a lot of them even opt into the master/slave relationship. Not that I look down on that or devalue it at all, but it is wrong of me to associate every human hooked up to a paranormal that way.”

“So, you’re learning then, huh?” Brianna asked.

“I don’t need to learn, Brianna,” Aurora replied touchily. “I know how to respect people. I just...”

“You just forget to respect people sometimes?”

She heaved a sigh.

Alex didn’t know what to say. It felt like he was glancing into a world and seeing one of its probably many subtler facets and realizing that he didn’t have much context to work with. “Anyway, I’m sorry, Alex. I didn’t mean to demean or disrespect you.”

“Apology accepted,” he replied, because he did believe her.

“I’ll make it up to you,” she said with a new grin, “don’t worry.”

“You’d better let him fuck you in your fat ass,” Brianna said.

“It is not fat!” Aurora shot back.

“Whatever. Alex, is it?”

“I...haven’t seen it yet,” he replied after a few seconds.

Aurora laughed again. “What a diplomat you are, Alex. And for the record, I like anal, so yes, if you want, later, you can fuck me in the ass.”

“I would really like that,” he replied.

“We’re here.”

Brianna pulled into a parking lot in front of a tall apartment building made of old brick. She parked the car and he reluctantly removed his hand from Aurora’s shirt. After readjusting her clothing, she sat up and they all got out.

“What was that place we met you at?” Alex asked as they walked into the building.

“Alchemical shop,” Aurora replied. “It’s basically a magic and potions shop run by a witch, Ash. Typically, humans go there to buy all sorts of shit. Stuff to make them focus, to make them more ‘virile’, aphrodisiacs, that’s her top seller, stuff to make them lose weight, drugs. A lot of drugs. All of them legal, of course. I love going there to talk with Ash. Sometimes we’ll just talk for several hours about all sorts of shit. And I buy my weed there. She grows and makes really good weed.”

“You still do any of the harder stuff?” Brianna asked as they walked into the front lobby. The place seemed oddly...rundown wasn’t the word he wanted, but...old, he supposed. It was old looking, and maybe a little ragged around the edges. For some reason he thought Aurora would live in someplace fancy and new and expensive.

“Not so much anymore,” Aurora replied. “I used to do tropes,” she explained to Alex.

“Tropes?” he replied.

“Psychotropic drugs. Hallucinogenics. Acid. X. Whatever I could get my hands on really. When you’re a vampire, there really isn’t a reason not to do drugs.”

“Wow,” he murmured. “What was it like?”

“Crazy, mostly. Really crazy. I wouldn’t recommend it.”

“Well, I’m not really into anything but weed,” he replied.

“Good. Honestly everything else is...I don’t know, you probably wouldn’t like it. Weed is relaxing. You seem like you like to relax.”

“I do,” he agreed as they headed up the stairwell at the back of the building.

Aurora’s apartment, it turned out, was very interesting. And strange. Her apartment took up half of the top floor.

“Holy shit,” Alex said, looking around as they stepped in. “This place is...”

“So weird,” Brianna said. “I’m amazed you still live here.”

“I fell in love with it,” Aurora replied with a shrug.

The living room was the size of a single apartment, and, he suspected, it likely had been one at one point. The far wall, directly across from them, had a lot of windows, some of them floor-to-ceiling, looking out over Thorne. The place looked like somewhere a lot of parties were held. There were several couches, chairs, and beanbags spread out. One corner was dominated by a massive flat-screen TV mounted in the corner. It had to be seventy or eighty inches. It presided over a huge, very expensive looking, C-shaped couch. There were a pair of tables taking up another section of the room to the right that looked like they’d seen a shitload of use.

“Let’s get the tour out of the way,” Aurora said.

She took them to the right first. The first door, which had no actual door in it, led to a good-sized kitchen and dining room combination. The second door led to a full bathroom. Finally, there was just a single door off to the left, and it led to a pretty damned big bedroom and another bathroom. Aurora’s bedroom sported a bed that was about as big as the one in their hotel room, maybe even a little bit bigger. It looked pretty luxurious and comfortable. There were more beanbags in the room, as well as a big desk with a huge monitor and complex-looking computer tower that glowed blue from the inside, no doubt custom-built.

Her bathroom might have been the most impressive room, featuring a huge shower stall, big enough for several people to fit into and to have full on, laying-down sex in, a pair of sinks beneath a large, polished mirror, a toilet, and a full hot tub.

“Wow,” he said as she finished up the tour.

“Wow indeed,” Aurora replied as she took a seat at the desk and beginning the process of rolling a few blunts, “nice, huh?”

“Very nice,” Alex agreed.

“It’s at least better than when you first moved in,” Brianna said, hopping up on the bed and laying back.

“How’d you get this place?” Alex asked.

“A few years ago, I was looking to move from the duplex I was living in. Just wanted a change of setting. I found this place. The previous owner had tried some renovation and it just...got way out of hand and then he lost the rights to this place, and the new owner didn’t know what to do with it. I only found it cause a friend of mine used to live here and was telling me about it. I just got this feeling when I heard about it, like I had to see it. So, I did. Showed up, asked to see it, told him I’d rented it out for twelve hundred a month on the condition that I got to finish up the renovations how I saw fit. Originally, he was reluctant, but then I explained a few things.

“This used to be two single bedroom apartments and one two bedroom. At the current rate, he could have expected maybe sixteen hundred a month from all three of these. Maybe seventeen hundred. But that was after he poured thousands upon thousands of dollars into finishing the renovations himself. He agreed, tentatively, to a year contract, and said he wanted to sign off on all the changes. It took awhile, we got into a few fights, but finally I ended up with this after about two months,” she explained as she rolled blunts.

“Huh,” Brianna murmured, still looking around the bedroom.

Aurora held up the second blunt she’d rolled, studying it, then suddenly put it down. “You know what? This can wait. I’m fucking horny right now,” she said, abruptly standing up and peeling off her shirt. She tossed it aside, then did the same thing with the sports bra she was wearing, freeing her enormous pale breasts.

Alex thought they might actually be a bit bigger than Brianna’s.

“You ready for this?” she asked, staring at him as she kicked off her shoes and began to take off her pants.

“Uh...um, yeah,” he replied. “I’m ready.”

“Still nervous, huh?” she asked as she peeled her pants off. She wasn’t wearing panties. He looked up and down her absolutely wonderful body. She was a lot more filled out than Brianna, her hips were to fucking die for, broad and firm and smooth. And her thighs. The thought of being in between them, driving into her sweet, bald, vampire pussy derailed any and all other thoughts. He tried to focus.

“Yeah,” he replied.

“He gets like that,” Brianna said. He glanced over at her. She was sitting on the edge of the huge bed now, legs folded, and she seemed to have picked her spot.

“Are you-” he began.

“Yes, Alex. I’m okay with this. I want to watch this. Aurora looks phenomenal not only naked, but fucking.”

“Well, thank you,” Aurora replied. “Brianna mentioned you’d been with a vampire since you two hooked up, so this shouldn’t be too nerve-racking...”

“He’s been with two, actually. He caught the eye of a sexy blonde escort.”

“Oh, did you now?” Aurora replied, smiling as she walked over to him. “Well, I can see how. You’re very cute. Let me help you with this,” she murmured, and took off his shirt. He let her, raising his arms, and she dropped it on the floor.

“Try to relax,” she said, and she reached down, took his wrists, and brought his hands up to her enormous breasts. Laying his hands against them, he pushed down the slight surprise he felt at her touch and her skin, which was cool. Her breasts, though, were simply amazing. He squeezed them gently, again losing all thought as he groped his girlfriend’s best friend, who stood nude and goddess-like before him.

She then took his hands down after a bit and brought them behind her, settling them on the swell of her thick ass. Then, Aurora leaned in and kissed him. He felt like a tiny electric current discharged as their lips met, and Aurora seemed to feel it too. She’d been slowly closing her eyes, but they shot back open. They were bloodshot and very, very blue. She inhaled and then kissed him harder, wrapping her arms around him and pressing his chest again her bare breasts. She moaned as she slipped her tongue into his mouth, eagerly seeking his own. Upon finding it, she twisted them together and he responded in kind, passionately making out with her.

Aurora was a very impassioned person and he felt a connection with her that was somewhat similar to the one he felt with Brianna.

What did that mean?

It hadn’t been like this with the two vampire prostitutes or with Helena. Those had been fun, to be sure, but Aurora was…

Something else.

Was that good or bad?

He kept enjoying groping her big, firm, thick ass as they kissed, locking lips and twining tongues together, sharing saliva and enjoying the opening dance of lust. Hopefully feeling the same way, she pressed against him. He loved her body language, and that she seemed to be enjoying this as much as he was. And then she pulled back and dropped down.

“Get these off, I want you inside me,” she said, a little breathless now.

She yanked his pants and his boxers down and off, and then stood, leaving him to finish the job. He did, kicking his shoes off and then trying to get the rest without falling over, as she quickly climbed onto the bed.

“My, my, someone’s horny,” Brianna murmured.

As soon as he was free, he almost stumbled as he crawled after Aurora. “Make that two someones,” Brianna added with a smirk.

“Horny is good,” Aurora replied, reaching into her huge headboard and looking for something. “Fuck, where’d I put it...”

“What is it?” he asked.

“Lube. You almost always need lube when fucking a vampire girl,” Aurora replied, “and you’ll always need it if you wanna stick your cock in me. Just the way my body is.”

“That’s fine,” he replied as he rested on his knees, staring at her fat, pale ass as she rooted around. His erection was a bar of throbbing steel between his legs, absolutely dying for a place to go, and right in front of him was a tight vampire pussy to fuck hard.

“There you are, fucker!” Aurora growled, and she twisted back around to face him, tossing him a tube of clear blue lube. “Rub it down and stick it in,” she said, laying on her back and spreading her long legs.

Man, she was tall. She might even be six foot. He quickly and eager squeezed some lube out into his hand and began to rub his cock down.

“Wow, Aurora, what a lazy lover you are,” Brianna chided.

“Oh, what now?” Aurora replied.

“You could’ve rubbed it down for him.”

“Whatever. You can fuck me in the ass later, Alex, how does that sound?” she asked.

“Fine by me,” he replied, finishing the job and tossing the lube aside.

“See, boys are easy. You can just wipe your hand off on the blanket,” she said, seeing that he wasn’t sure what to do with the excess lube.

“Boys are easy,” Brianna agreed quietly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your boytoy. Sorry, boyfriend.”

Hand now lube-free, Alex quickly climbed on top of Aurora and laid down on her, kissing her deeply again as she spread her legs out wider and he settled in between those fantastically thick thighs of hers.

“Here we go,” she whispered softly into the kiss as she reached down between them and guided his cock into her pussy.

He let out a low, loud moan as he slipped into her.

“Ooh, yes...” she whispered, shifting a little, “that is just fucking perfect. Give me that fucking cock, Alex.”

“Oh, fuck, Aurora...” he moaned as he pushed his way completely inside of her in just a few, quick thrusts.

It felt way too good and satisfying to be balls deep into a paranormal woman.

“Hear that, Brianna? That’s the sound of a man who’s already well on his way to being addicted to paranormal pussy,” Aurora said, then cried out as he started fucking her. He barely heard her, wholly consumed by the pleasure of her wonderful vampire vagina, slipping smoothly in and out of her. It was like perfect paradise.

“Mmm...I can just feel it in his body language. I bet he begs for it all the time, doesn’t he?”

“He does not beg, Aurora. He asks,” Brianna replied.

Aurora cried out. “I’ll just bet he does.” She looked up at him. “You know what kind of relationship I like, Alex?” she asked.

“What?” he gasped, staring down at her, at her flawlessly beautiful, pale face and her bloodshot eyes.

“The kind where you get comfortable enough that you don’t even ask anymore...you just take. I like that. Just take it from me, Alex,” she whispered. “Take that pussy. Fuck it and fill it up. It like it rough, Alex.”

“You are such a slut,” Brianna said.

“Ah! Fuck! Yes, I am!” Aurora cried as he started pounding her harder. She pressed up against him with her powerful hips, forcing him deeper into her.

Aurora felt about the same as the other vampires he’d slept with so far, though maybe a bit colder. It was, admittedly, slightly off-putting, but he didn’t let it bother him at all. Aurora was stunning and fucked like a porn star.

There was another thing he noticed, and he was just now fully realizing it as he made love with another new woman. None of the women he was sleeping with since Brianna had that kind of awkward, first-time feeling. None of them had any kind of hesitation or uncertainty when they fucked, it was like they linked up right away. It was that way with Brianna, Veronica, Ally, Helena, Alicia, and now with Aurora.

Was it because they were paranormals? Older than him? More sexually experienced? Three of them had been actual escorts. And he knew for a fact that Brianna had once been. Had Aurora? Had Helena?

Yes, he remembered suddenly. Yes, Aurora was an escort sometimes.

It didn’t seem impossible or even unlikely that Helena had been, given her love and zeal for sex. And he imagined there were some people who would pay big fucking money to fuck a Valkyrie. He would have, honestly.

Whatever the reason, he really, really liked this aspect. During the few times he’d hooked up with his fellow humans, there had been that awkwardness between them. Sex with a new person was fun, but that first time was always kind of nerve-racking, at least for him. So many what ifs. So many things that could go wrong.

It just didn’t feel that way with these paranormal women.

And from the way he was interpreting the situation and their personalities, he got the feeling that they wouldn’t care if something did go wrong.

Like if he didn’t last very long and let off kind of early.

Which was about to happen, because fuck Aurora had a goddamned fantastic pussy and he was hitting it raw, riding completely bareback, and she had the fucking sexiest face and she was staring him right in the eyes and she’d wrapped her long legs around his midsection as he fucked her furiously. All of it was combining and building an explosion that would go off inside of her. He pushed himself up just a little with the intent to maybe switch it up, stop fucking her for just a few seconds and get his breath back, so to speak, but that was a mistake.

Now he had a perfect view of her fucking huge tits and the way they looked swaying and bouncing as he thrust furiously into her.

That fucking did it. That pushed him right into an orgasm and he cried out, yelling an inarticulate sound of release as he began spraying his seed into her.

Aurora gasped. “Oh fuck, he’s coming,” she groaned, holding him tightly, “Brianna, your man is coming in my pussy.”

“I bet he’s coming a lot,” Brianna replied, and he thought she sounded really turned on, but it was hard to tell because he was incoherent with sexual gratification right now as he emptied his cock into bare vampire pussy.

“Oh yes,” Aurora moaned, running her hands down his back, staring up at him with a big smile on her face, “he’s coming so much in me. I fucking love making guys come, Alex,” she said, and he stopped holding himself up, stopped being able to really. Almost collapsing against her, his face fell into the pillow beside her head.

His hips were jerking forward, and he got shoved deep and hard into her with each contraction, each fresh kick of his cock spraying out another thick spurt of his seed inside of her, pumping her full of it, making her moan loudly.

And then he was finished, his dick dry-jerking a few times, and then becoming still. Left gasping, he twisted his head to the side so he could get his breath back, his whole body was almost trembling with post-orgasm release.

“Now that was a good first fuck,” she said, slowly rubbing his back.

“Uh-huh,” he managed, still inside of her and loving the feeling.

“That was really hot, babe,” Brianna said. He felt her shifting closer. “I mean, really hot. You look good fucking, too.”

“Thanks,” he replied, not entirely sure how to react to that. It was nice to hear, but he didn’t fully believe it.

Then again, if she was telling the truth, which he thought she was, and it was her opinion, then wasn’t it true? At least for her? He supposed if there was one person he wished would think he looked good naked and having sex, it was Brianna. And not just for the obvious reason of her wanting to see him fucking her, or more of her friends.

He wanted her to be attracted to him. Even if it was a fraction of how attracted he was to her, it would still be powerful.

“Let’s go enjoy a shower,” Aurora said after a bit.

“I need one, after that,” he replied.

“I need one after that,” Brianna said, laughing.

He carefully pulled out of Aurora and rolled over onto his back, getting off of her. As he did, he felt a familiar and uncomfortable feeling settling over him: guilt. He tried to shake it off as he got up and followed the two women into the huge bathroom. There was absolutely no reason to feel guilty, he reminded himself. It was stupid that it felt like he’d just cheated on his girlfriend, because she was right fucking there, she’d happily watched the whole thing, and she’d actually set it up! Why should he feel this way?

It was, at least, less powerful than last time, and he wasn’t really freaking out like he had that first time. Brianna stripped nude as Aurora got the showerheads going. He saw that there were four of them lining the walls and wondered how much that had cost. Brianna finished stripping and all three of them slipped into the shower.

Aurora slowly closed the sliding glass door shut behind them, sealing them into this place of wet warmth and comfort. She detached the showerhead and put it up between her legs, sighing in pleasure. “That always feels so good,” she whispered. “You blew a fucking big load,” she added, now looking at him.

“Well, it felt really good,” he replied.

“Yeah, I’ll bet it did.”

“You okay, Alex? You look a little...off,” Brianna said, and now Aurora scrutinized him a little more closely.

“Hmm...yeah. I didn’t freak you out or anything, did I?” she asked. Before he could respond, she spoke again. “Is it because you thought I was going to bite you?”

He hesitated, not because he had been thinking that, but because he hadn’t, and he was realizing that it hadn’t occurred to him even once during the sex. Why hadn’t it? He was glad that it hadn’t, but wondered why.

“No,” he replied, “I didn’t even think about it during...do you want to?” he asked, and from the look of discomfort that passed over her face, and the way her eyes immediately cut to Brianna, he realized that he’d asked an awkward or even bad question.

“Uh...” Aurora began.

Brianna stepped in. “It’s fine,” she said. “Don’t forget, Alex: biting is a very intimate act. I know sex can be too, but it’s just different. It’s...it’s typically not done between casual acquaintances. That being said, since we’re talking about it, Aurora...if you really wanted to, and he was okay with it, I would be okay with you drinking Alex’s blood.”

“I...are you sure?” she replied, sounding very uncertain. It was weird seeing this tall, curvy, absurdly sexy vampire woman suddenly looking so anxious. “I mean, are you really sure, Brianna?” she asked.

“I wouldn’t have said it if I wasn’t sure, Aurora. You know that I love you, and you’re my best friend besides Alex. Do you think that’s something you might be willing to try? It’s perfectly okay if the answer is no,” Brianna said, looking at Alex now.

“I mean...” he looked from Brianna to Aurora, who was now watching him intently, “I guess I’d be willing to at least try it once. I’d have some questions.”

“Like what?” Aurora asked.

“Is it safe? Will it hurt?”

“Yes, it is safe,” she replied confidently. “I can at least promise that. I will need to pick up something from that shop we were at. It’s basically...okay, well honestly, it’s kind of like birth control for vampirism. I don’t want to wear a, uh, condom, basically. I want it bareback. But it’s one hundred perfect effective and just needs a little bit of time to be active. So yes, I can basically promise that it’s safe, you won’t become a vampire or anything. Now, as for the hurting...um, I mean, kind of? It’s really hard to describe. It does hurt...but it also feels good. And you also kind of...like that it hurts? Even if you’re not into getting hurt, not like that, but in the moment, you enjoy the biting and the hurting at least a little. It’s super hard to describe with words, but trust me, when you’re actually feeling it, I can almost promise you will love it.”

“So, would you want to?” he asked.

“...yes,” she said.

“You kind of hesitated,” Brianna murmured.

“I did. I...it’s complicated. I do really want to, it’s just...it’s been a long time since I’ve actually bitten a human. Like Brianna said, it’s super intimate. And, I mean, I’m obviously crazy casual about sex. But biting? It’s...not the same. At all. It’s complicated not just because you’re my best friend’s boyfriend, but also because of what it means for me personally. It isn’t love...but it is intense. It’s a connection. I need to really trust the person I’m biting. And, I mean, I do trust you. Brianna vouches for you, so I trust you, it’s just...”

“You need time,” he said.

“Yes. That. Exactly. I just need to spend more time with you. I need to get to know you some more, get more comfortable with you.” She hesitated, chewing on her lower lip now, and he saw that she was also very aroused. “Also, um, don’t worry. I’m not taking this conversation as like, free reign to just bite you whenever. I would never bite someone without their explicit consent, and when it happens, if it happens, you will know far in advance. We will have a very specific conversation about it and you will know, I’ll warn you several times leading up to it.”

“Okay,” he said, then took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Wow, that got kind of intense.”

Aurora laughed nervously, breaking the tension she’d been building. “Yeah. I...sorry, I didn’t mean to make it that way. Biting is one of the very few things that really trips me up anymore. It’s something that I deeply, deeply crave, but it’s also something that I haven’t found anyone to do it with for awhile.”

“I understand,” he replied.

“Thank you,” she murmured.

“Well, now that that’s out of the way...I’m actually really horny right now,” Brianna said. “Threesome in the shower?”

“God yes, please,” Aurora replied immediately.

“I might need a minute to finish, uh, recovering,” Alex said.

“I’m positive we can get you up and throbbing again in no time,” Brianna replied.

“I...don’t doubt it,” he said as both of them turned to stare at him intently.

“You don’t know how to handle that do you?” Aurora asked. “Direct and open sexuality in women.”

“It’s, uh, not what I’m used to,” he replied.

“That’s okay. It just makes it more fun. Let’s keep breaking your boyfriend in,” Aurora said, moving closer to him.

Brianna joined her and then they both were right in front of him, nude and wet and beautiful, like avatars of sexuality and raw desire. Brianna kissed him firmly on the mouth as Aurora took one of his hands and laid it across one large, wet breast. He reached up with his other and slipped his arm around Brianna, holding her closer to him and grabbing her fit ass as they made out. Aurora leaned in and kissed the side of Brianna’s neck, making her gasp softly, while also reaching around to grope her breasts. After a bit, Brianna stopped kissing him and passed him to Aurora, who immediately locked lips with him and slipped her tongue dexterously into his mouth.

This was unreal.

He groaned as he felt one of them grip his cock and began to massage it. They were right, he was already stiffening up again, practically desperate for sex and attention. This felt like one of the hundreds, if not thousands, of porns that he’d watched over the past few years online. Only there were no cameras, this wasn’t staged, and these women were here because they really wanted to be.

This was, in fact, real.

It was better than living a porn. It was living the reality of a situation like this. A genuine threesome with two genuinely fucking hot and enthusiastic women. They passed him back and forth, each tongue-kissing him and making soft, sexual sounds of sensual satisfaction. And then they both dropped to their knees, and he looked down at them, watched as Aurora cupped his balls in one hand and Brianna gripped his shaft with her first two fingers and thumb, and both of them leaned in and began to pleasure him, licking at the head over and over again.

“Oh, holy fucking shit,” he moaned, placing a hand on their heads, gasping as hot bursts of pleasure sizzled into him. They licked and licked, and then Aurora took his cock into her mouth and started sucking him off, taking the pleasure up to the next level. He found that she, too, was exceptionally skilled at sucking dick. Brianna waited her turn, and as soon as it was passed to her, she sucked him off, too, bobbing her head with a smooth precision, her beautiful lips sliding up and down his rigid shaft.

“He’s gonna pop if we keep going,” Brianna murmured.

“Maybe he should...” Aurora replied, grinning and licking his cock again, making him groan and twitch.

“It’ll take time for him to get it back up again probably,” Brianna said. “I want to get pounded, you slut.”

“Ugh, fine. Come on.”

He watched as both of them got down onto their hands and knees, facing away from him, side by side. “Fuck us,” Aurora said, looking back over her shoulder. “Behind you, though, there’s some waterproof lube. Get it.”

“Got it,” he replied, immediately turning, seeing and grabbing it, and lubing up. As soon as he was, he put it back, washed his hand off best he could, then dropped to his knees behind Aurora. She moaned loudly as he penetrated her, and he did too, hunching forward, grabbing those big fucking hips of hers and really starting to pound her.

“Oh sure, fuck her first,” Brianna said.

He hesitated. “Sorry, I just-the lube...”

Brianna snorted. “I’m teasing you, cutie. Just don’t take too long before you come over to me,” she said, and wiggled her tight, fit butt at him.

“I won’t,” he promised, and fucked Aurora’s sweet vampire pussy for another minute before switching over to his girlfriend. She moaned as he slipped inside of her, and he’d already somehow forgotten just how fucking hot and wet her vagina was. Werewolf pussy, even when they were in their human forms, was probably the best he’d ever had in his life. Sex with a vampire was great, and sex with a Valkyrie was just fantastic, but werewolves...oh, it just felt beyond amazing. Or maybe it was just Brianna?

He hadn’t really had much of a sampling yet.

Well, maybe Brianna could help him with that.

She moaned and cried out as the sound of their skin slapping together filled the shower and he buried his steel-hard cock inside of her again and again. “Oh fuck, yes, Alex! I fucking love your cock!” she screamed at him.

“Come on! I’m still horny!” Aurora complained.

“Shut up, whore,” Brianna gasped, pushing against him. “Don’t stop, not yet...” she moaned. Alex felt genuinely torn, glancing over at Aurora, who looked at him impatiently, then back at Brianna, who was hanging her head and moaning in desperate, intense pleasure. Finally, Aurora reached out and poked at him, and he felt like he really was neglecting her, so he pulled out of Brianna, who sighed heavily, but otherwise held her peace.

This was a really weird problem to be having, but it was a pretty good one.

For him, at least.

He slid back into Aurora and fucked her hard, grabbing her thick, pale ass. “Ohhhh, yes...” she moaned loudly. “Fuck that pussy.”

He pounded her, burying his dick inside of her.

It went on like this for another bout of time, he wasn’t sure how long, only that he was lost in blissful paradise, switching back and forth between them. He enjoyed every second of it. Eventually, though, Aurora wanted to switch it up.

“Here, Bri, get in front of me and I’ll eat you, and you, Alex, can fuck me in the ass. Just make sure you get some more lube,” she said.

Both of them agreed happily to this arrangement and while he lubed up, Brianna got in front of Aurora and laid on her back, spreading her legs and bringing her knees up, resting her hands on them. Aurora buried her head in Brianna’s crotch and began to lick, eating her out slowly and seductively, and Brianna moaned, her voice carrying well. Almost incoherent with lust, Alex lubed up again, and then repositioned himself up against Aurora’s fat, pale ass. He groaned as another wave of pleasure hit him, as he began working his cock inside of her once again.

Her ass was really fucking tight.

It didn’t take long to get into her, as her lube worked really well, and he was feeling tenacious. She didn’t try to readjust or slow him down at all.

“Don’t be afraid to be rough with her,” Brianna advised. “She likes it rough in the ass.”

And Aurora moaned an agreement, her face still in Brianna’s crotch. Both women resumed moaning as the threesome continued. He gripped her hips firmly, fingertips sinking in, and started pounding her savagely. The pleasure was an intense experience, consuming him, filling him, building up to what he knew would be an insane orgasm. But he did want to make Aurora come. Was that going to be more difficult, given that she was a vampire?

He had to try, at least.

He reached under her and found her clit, then began to stimulate it. As soon as he made contact, her whole body twitched and shuddered, and she moaned loudly. She cried out as he started rubbing it faster and harder, trying to keep time with his thrusts.

“I want to make you come,” he groaned.

“It’s a lot harder than that, making her come,” Brianna said, then cried out as Aurora kept going, “but you’re really on the right track.”

A few seconds later, Brianna started to enjoy her own orgasm and she yelled in rapturous release, grabbing Aurora’s head and forcing it harder into her crotch. Alex kept going, fucking Aurora’s ass and rubbing her clit until Brianna was finished. As Brianna released her, Aurora brought her head back up. “Keep going, Alex! You’re almost there!” she moaned.

Invigorated and hopeful, he kept it up for as long as he could.

In the end, it was a near thing.

He knew his orgasm was coming on strong, really close to triggering, and was about to say something when Aurora, who had been moaning louder and louder, suddenly screamed in bliss and began to spasm.

“Oh, fuuuuuuck!” she screamed, and he had to assume she was coming, and then he was coming, pumping powerful thrusts into her and hoping he’d gotten her there.

He came in her thick vampire ass, emptying himself into her, feeling that rapturous release, that tremendous sexual gratification, that blinding pleasure. He came until he was emptied out a second time, and then pulled out of her and sat down heavily beneath the showers, breathing heavily, almost delirious with post-orgasm bliss.

The three of them continued laying there in the shower, enjoying the water and silence and the company.

CHAPTER FIVE

“So, what exactly is this? This thing you two have got going on?” Aurora asked. She snapped her lighter shut after finishing lighting one of the blunts she’d rolled. All three of them were nude and dried off, laying together in the bed and the cool air of her apartment after finishing the shower threesome and the post-sex washing.

Alex looked at Aurora, then at Brianna.

He was curious to hear her response.

She looked back at him. “We are in a relationship,” she said. “We’re boyfriend and girlfriend. Technically, it’s an open relationship that we’re still exploring the bounds of. It’s definitely not a fling, and it’s not a human toy situation,” she added firmly.

He thought about their previous conversation in the car. Well, he’d really just been listening to the conversation. “We’re still figuring it all out, though,” Brianna continued, “we’re exploring each other. Anything to add?”

She looked at him. He shook his head. “Not really, that sounds right to me.”

“Hmm,” Aurora said, and took several drags on the blunt, then passed it to Brianna, who did the same. “That’s good. You never did too well with the boy and girl toys, Bri.”

Brianna sighed and passed it to Alex, who took a few puffs himself.

“What, am I wrong?” she asked.

Brianna just sighed again. “No, it’s just...maybe something I don’t want to talk about? And besides, I didn’t have that many.”

“Yeah, you rarely indulged,” Aurora agreed.

“You should just get used to this, Aurora being a bitch.” Brianna remarked to Alex.

Aurora laughed. “Yeah, you’ll have to get used to that.”

“Anyway,” Brianna continued, “for the sake of transparency, yes, I did occasionally indulge in having a, you know...toy. Boytoy, girltoy, a human that was submissive to me. It’s just kind of a thing that a lot of paranormals do. And honestly a lot of humans do it too. To some paranormals, or even to each other. Obviously not all of it is on the level, but for the most part it is. No one was being forced or coerced or taken advantage of when I was doing it, or, as far as I knew, when anyone else was. It was all voluntary. I mean sometimes there was some kind of transaction going on, but for the most part, it was just submissive people wanting to be dominated at every level: socially, sexually, you know, in every little way.”

“I believe you, Brianna,” Alex said.

She looked at him, then took a breath and let it out slowly. “Sorry, I’m just feeling defensive because I always felt kind of weird about it. It was something I never fully figured out, I think. It’s why I stopped doing it and just dated people. It’s also one of the reasons why I just want to date you and have sex with my friends on the side together, Alex.”

“I’m sorry, Brianna, I didn’t know you were this messed up about it. I wasn’t really trying to upset you,” Aurora said quietly.

“Lucky for you, I’m nice,” Brianna replied. “So, all is forgiven.”

They passed the blunt around for a bit longer, then Aurora stared at him again pointedly. “So, what do you make of all this, Alex? I want to hear what you’re thinking about paranormal sex and Thorne and threesomes.”

He laughed. “I mean...I feel like it’d get kind of redundant. It’s just me saying ‘I can’t really believe this is happening’ or ‘this is so unreal’ or ‘it’s like living a fantasy’ over and over again, you know?”

“Has anything not been like you expected?” Brianna asked.

He thought about it, then nodded. “Yes.”

“And that is?” Aurora prompted.

“The sex. I mean, I always knew it would be phenomenal and mind-blowing and utterly crazy. But...every time I’ve had sex with a paranormal woman, it’s been so, I don’t know...so intimate. Not to like insult anyone or anything, but I kinda thought it’d be a lot more, um...detached? I mean, I expected intimacy from Brianna. We’re boyfriend and girlfriend and we’ve been really good friends for six months now. But, I mean, even the sex I had with a woman we literally paid to fuck me, I felt some kind of a connection. Why is that?”

“Well...it can be a lot of different things,” Aurora said, and she looked at Brianna.

“Yeah. I mean, it depends on the person. Paranormals are...we’re a little strange. In some regards, we’re really good at heightened types of reactions. So, the paranormals who are detached, who do just see their sex partners as glorified fuck toys designed to get them off, they’re really good at that. But then some of us are more empathic. We enjoy the emotional connection just as much as the physical connection,” Brianna explained.

“So, I’ve just been lucky enough to hook up with more empathic paranormals?”

“I don’t think that’s all of it,” Brianna murmured. “I wanted to talk with you about this, actually, Aurora. For as long as I’ve known him, Alex has just had...I don’t know, some quality. There’s just something about you. The closest I’ve ever been able to come to qualifying it, to putting it into words, is the notion that it genuinely doesn’t bother you that someone is a paranormal.”

“Holy shit, you’re right,” Aurora said, sitting up suddenly and looking at him. “That’s what I’ve been feeling this whole time. There’s this subtle tension that a lot of humans have when they know they’re in the presence of a paranormal. It varies from person to person, but we’re really good at being perceptive. We can just pick up on tension. A lot of us learn to ignore it. But there’s just something about you that makes me happy, and I’ve just realized what that is: it’s the absence of that tension. It’s...really nice.”

“Really?” he asked.

“Yes,” Brianna replied. “I’ve only met a few humans in my time that were as relaxed as you are around us.”

“But I’ve spent a lot of time being tense around you,” he murmured.

“But not because I was a paranormal. You were anxious around me because I was hot, and you wanted to fuck me, and you were kind of intimidated by me. That tension we’re talking about is its own almost undefinable quality. It’s very, very specific. It’s easy to parse out from other kinds of anxiety. So, you’re kind of like...a good-vibe generator for paranormals,” Aurora explained.

“Wow. That’s...awesome, I guess? I mean, I sure think it’s awesome. I wonder why that is. I’m not really doing it intentionally.”

“I honestly couldn’t say, but I’d guess that it’s probably something you were born with, and it was something you fostered over time,” Brianna said. “Whatever the reason, I’m very glad you have it. And you should be glad too, because it’s going to get you a lot of paranormal pussy. And the kind you like: the kind of ladies who like to connect emotionally as much as physically.”

“Does that bother you?” he asked. “Or will that be a problem?”

“No,” Brianna replied. “Again, so long as you stay mine, there won’t be a problem.” She hesitated, then sighed. “That sounds so fucking controlling. How do I want to word this? I guess...I really, really like you, Alex. I actually can’t remember anyone else that I’ve dated who I liked more than you. I could genuinely see this relationship lasting decades...but I don’t want to freak you out or anything. I won’t ever try to make you stay with me. But know that I really like you a lot, and I intend to be in this for the long haul if that’s what you want. But I also want you to understand everything that comes with that.”

“Can I understand that this early into the relationship?” he asked.

Brianna looked a little surprised. “That’s a very mature question, and a good one. No, you can’t, I guess, if I’m being totally honest. This is why I wanted to keep it simple for now. This is how dating works. We’re going to spend time together, we’re going to figure out what bugs us about the other, and figure out the things we love about each other. We’re going to watch the relationship take shape as much as we’re going to mold it ourselves.”

“Now there is some relationship advice,” Aurora murmured.

Brianna took a long pull on the blunt and blew out a cloud of smoke. “My point is, I don’t mind if you become emotionally invested in or attached to other women that we or you sleep with. I just...want to remain your number one girl, okay?”

“That’s more than fair,” he replied.

“Good. But something you have to understand is that’s going to take work. Not today, not tomorrow. I got to you first,” she said with a small grin, “and you’re mine for now. I can just see it in your eyes. You’ve imprinted on me, attached to me, which was what I wanted. And I’m doing much the same to you. I’d do a lot for you, Alex. But lust and that magical feeling of the honeymoon phase won’t last forever. They fade, get replaced by other, calmer feelings. And then you might find yourself wandering. If you care about me, if you’re still truly invested in the relationship, then you need to realize when you’re beginning to slip, or when you’re prioritizing other things over the relationship too often. Then, you need to address it, whatever it is, and fix it. Good relationships take consistent work. And I’ll be doing the same thing,” she explained.

“It’s times like this that I really believe you’re almost three times my age,” he said.

Aurora laughed. “Yep. Now that we’ve got all that heavy shit out of the way...wanna hit a rave tonight?” she asked.

“Uh, maybe we should start off a little lighter,” Brianna replied.

“Okay, okay, fair enough. We’re still breaking him in. Hmm, something lighter...”

“Are we in a hurry or anything?” Brianna asked.

“No, I guess not. Whatever, let’s keep smoking and chilling and talking, then we’ll figure it out,” Aurora replied.

“I like this plan,” Alex said, making both of them laugh.

…

“So, where are we going?” Alex asked.

Overhead, the clouds were thicker than ever, and it had begun to rain lightly as they’d left Aurora’s apartment building, and now he watched the city roll by in gloomy splendor. They’d ended up laying in her bed for a few hours, relaxing and smoking and chatting. Mostly it was Brianna and Aurora catching up, and him listening to them tell stories about each other. Finally, Aurora had wanted to go out, and Brianna was hungry again, so she said she’d take them somewhere. Though, she had yet to actually say where.

“My favorite cafe,” she replied as she drove them through the streets. He and Brianna were sitting in the back, her feet in his lap.

“Oh! Nice!” Brianna said, sitting up. “It’s still-”

“Yep. MN. I still go there.”

“What is it?” Alex asked.

“Officially, it’s called The Multinational Cafe. Basically, they serve a bunch of different kinds of food there. Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Greek. It’s a great blend. I love it just because I can get a ton of different types of food. I like to mix and match my food.”

“Sounds great,” Alex said.

“It is,” Aurora replied, “we can just go there and sit for fucking hours, which is kind of what I feel like doing today. It’s a nice, wonderful, lazy rainy day and we can just keep chilling and catch up. It’s a relaxed place. It’s run by two very nice ladies, both of them witches who’ve traveled all over the world and decided they wanted to run their own cafe. They’re really laid back.”

She pulled off the main road and parked in a small, cracked parking lot with just a few other cars. They got out and walked inside, and Alex immediately felt that peaceful calm that he did at only a few other restaurants in his life. There was just that...atmosphere. That presence. That feeling of a welcoming environment, a calm, serene place where you could relax. He enjoyed it tremendously. They took a seat in a corner booth near the back of the cafe and sat beneath windows on which rain collected and saturated.

A tall, beautiful, middle-aged woman with dark hair came over.

“Brianna! You’ve finally made your way back to us,” she said.

“Hello, Li,” Brianna replied with a genuine smile. “I’m only here on vacation, I’m afraid. But it is so good to see you again.”

“It’s great to you too, Bri. And who’s this young man? You seem to have brought a human into my shop,” she said with a smile.

“This is Alex. Alex, this is Li. She’s one of the fine women who runs the shop.”

“Pleasure to meet you, ma’am,” he replied.

She chuckled softly. “Such a polite young man. So, I’m guessing he’s with one of you.”

“He’s with me,” Brianna said, and took his hand. “We’ve been friends for half a year, dating for half a week.”

Li let out a low whistle. “Half a week and she’s already got you in Thorne. She must really like you.”

“I do really like him,” Brianna agreed.

“Well, I have to get back and help my lover with the food. We’ll catch up a little later. What do you want?” she asked.

Aurora didn’t get much beyond a lot of coffee and some donuts and pastries, but Alex decided to try out the beef burrito and some tacos, and Brianna...got a lot. He thought she ended up getting something big and meaty from every nationality of food they had available. Li didn’t seem surprised at all and he imagine it must’ve been a regular occurrence back when Brianna lived here. Leaving the table, Li told them she’d be back with their food in a bit.

Alex looked outside, stared at the rain beyond, the slow traffic, the occasional person walking by. This was a great place.

“Okay, Aurora, we’ve been bullshitting and reminiscing so far, but what have you actually been doing? And when did you get your tats back? I’ve really been meaning to ask,” Brianna said as they finished settling in.

“About a month or so after you left,” Aurora replied, she looked at Alex. “I used to have a lot of tattoos in the nineties and early two thousands. I collected them. And then one day I realized that I had a bit of a problem. I saw a tattoo design in...shit, I dunno, oh four? Oh five? And I knew that it was one that I should really want. Although I loved the design, I just...didn’t care. The rush of fun and excitement at getting a new tat just didn’t come. And I realized that I missed that so much. I thought about it for awhile and realized that the only way I’d ever get that back, probably, was if I got all my tattoos removed, waited for several years, and then see if it’d come back. So, I did just that. And it worked. I’ve been collecting them again ever since.”

“They’re beautiful,” he murmured.

She grinned. “So, you like them, then?”

“I, for whatever reason, really have a thing for women with tattoos.”

“Maybe I should get one. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile, and Aurora sure has been trying to talk me into it for long enough,” Brianna said.

“You should get one. Let me give it to you,” Aurora replied.

Brianna looked at her dubiously, but Aurora was adamant. “I’m serious! I’ve actually been researching it and you know I’m good at drawing.”

“I do know that,” Brianna agreed. “Have you actually given any?”

“Yes, a few now.” She reached into her shirt and pulled out her smartphone from where she’d placed it between her breasts. “Here,” she murmured, activating it and hunting around for a little bit, “I’ve got pics.”

A moment later, she set it down and slid it across the tabletop to Brianna, who took it and looked at it. “Wow, that is nice,” she murmured, showing it to Alex. He thought the blue and yellow butterfly was indeed nice, but the mocha-skinned, curvy ass it was on was nicer.

“Who is that?” she asked.

“Sadie. She’s put on a little weight since you left, in all the right places,” Aurora murmured, looking at the picture with a smile.

“What’s she up to?” Brianna asked, then added to Alex, “Sadie is a friend ours, a married witch. She’s about our age, although she actually looks a bit more mature. Though I think that’s because she had kids.”

“She won’t mind me looking at her ass?” he asked.

Aurora laughed. “No. She won’t. Sadie is...very open. And very confident. She’s a little scary, honestly.”

“She scares you?” Alex asked. “I’ve got to meet her.”

Now Brianna laughed as well. “You want to me someone more intimidating than either us?”

“I mean...yeah? I think I said earlier-”

“That you’re attracted to intimidating women. I get it. Yeah, she’d fucking love you. She’d eat you alive...in a good way, I mean,” Brianna replied.

“Oh, would she ever,” Aurora murmured. “But anyway. Sadie is a bit more relaxed nowadays. She’s got her own bookstore, actually. Her husband teaches magic. She went a little nuts after her kids went off to college, you know how it is. Her and her husband started throwing sex parties at their house all the time, and going to fuck clubs and brothels and swinger parties. We got along really well. But she’s kind of mellowed since then, over the past two years or so. She still has parties, but she more throws them than goes to them.”

“That sounds like her, I guess,” Brianna murmured. “Here, you got another picture of her? Like a more regular one?”

“Yeah...” Aurora said, looking back at her phone. After flipping through for a bit, she passed it back to Brianna, who looked at it, then showed it to Alex.

“Would you hit that?” she asked.

He studied the woman in the picture. Sadie the married witch, who had extremely beautiful mocha-colored skin, long black hair, and vividly blue eyes, was sitting on a couch with a wine glass in one hand and a hand-rolled blunt in the other. She wore a very beautiful black dress and was grinning broadly.

She was extraordinarily beautiful, and he thought that Brianna was right: she did look more mature. If she was a human, he’d say that she was just beginning to ease into her forties in this picture, but could definitely still be in her late or even mid-thirties. It was interesting, she just had that ‘adult’ look to her. Not because of the way she was dressed or what she was doing, but even through a photo she just seemed like a grown-up.

“I’d hit that all night,” he replied.

Aurora and Brianna laughed, and Brianna gave her the phone back. “Would the fact that she’s married throw you off at all?” Aurora asked.

“I mean...fuck, I don’t know. Everyone I’ve been with so far has been single. I mean...as far as I know.”

“Yeah, everyone you’ve been with is single. Okay, well, I actually have no idea about that vampire hooker you seduced or the elf escort I got for us, but they had a ‘single’ kind of vibe. Or at least not in a long-term relationship.”

“I don’t really think I seduced Ally. I think it’s safer to say she seduced me.”

“Hey, you caught her eye. She didn’t have to fuck you. So, answer the question,” Brianna said.

“I guess I’d have to meet her myself. I do think it’d be a little too weird for me to like...fuck her if her husband’s around, you know?”

“That’s fair. I will say this. If you meet her,” Aurora glanced at Brianna, who just raised her eyebrows, “okay, when you meet her, I’m almost totally positive that she’s going to try to fuck you. And I get the feeling it’ll be hard for you to resist her.”

“I know for a fact I won’t be able to,” he replied.

Their food came a little bit later, and as they ate, Brianna pressed Aurora for more details on all the friends she’d left behind when she’d moved out of Thorne.

“Well, Kate is still basically Kate,” Aurora said. She looked at Alex. “Kate is an undead friend of ours. She does porn. She does hardcore porn, honestly, because she can take it. She makes fucking bank doing it. Um...let’s see. Lyra! She’s a siren. She kind of looks like...a nineteen twenties silent film star? She is just gorgeous, and she has the most amazing voice. She’s been breezing all over the world, but I think she’s back in Thorne now. Maybe we can hit her up. And obviously you know how Helena is doing. Hmm...”

“What about Claire?” Brianna asked.

“Ah. Yes. Claire,” Aurora replied with a smirk. “She’s an elf, and a businesswoman. Probably one of the most straitlaced people you’ll ever meet. Certainly the most in our social circle. But she has...let’s just say, she has a certain thing that she really likes, that she has some difficulty admitting to. If you meet her, I think you’ll like her a lot. She is hot. I actually haven’t talked with her much since you left. She’s been busy, I imagine. Um...a lot of our acquaintances kinda moved away, actually,” she said, her smile falling.

“Really?”

“Yeah. Our vampire girlfriends, Amy and Lorna and Jasmine, they’re all somewhere else now. Amy and Lorna went on some worldwide vacation last year and said they probably won’t be back for another ten years or so. Jasmine got tired of city life and moved to some town up in Canada. That werewolf you used to run with, Quinn, she’s down in Mexico last I heard, shooting porn or something. Casey’s still running around here, I think, but she’s fallen in love with some guy, a werewolf I think, or maybe he’s an incubus. Shit, I can’t remember. But yeah, I’ve been hanging with new people recently.” She paused. “Well...honestly, I haven’t really made any real new friends for awhile now. Everyone I meet I just kind of party with, sometimes I hook up with them, then they drift out of my life.” She looked slowly around the cafe, at the rain outside, and then finally turned her gaze back on Brianna and Alex.

“You know, I didn’t realize it until just right now, but...I fucking missed this. I missed talking with you, Bri. Like, just talking. No music, no party, nothing crazy going on. Just sitting in a cafe together, eating and talking and relaxing. I haven’t done something like this with someone like you in a long time. I really missed you.”

“I missed you too, Aurora,” Brianna replied quietly.

Aurora stared at her, and a look of pain came across her face. Alex felt both uncomfortable and a hard shot of empathy. Especially when she looked up and blinked rapidly for a few seconds. Then she looked squarely at Brianna again. “Why did you leave, Bri?” she whispered.

“Oh, Aurora,” Brianna said softly, and she moved around in the circular booth until she was beside her and she hugged her. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I missed you so much, Aurora. You know I love you. I still do.”

“It hurt when you left,” Aurora replied, hugging her fiercely.

“I’m sorry. It hurt me, too. I just...I had to go, Aurora. I needed to get my head straight. I had to be by myself. I didn’t leave you, Aurora.”

“I know, I know,” Aurora replied softly. “I remember. I just...it hurt. And I had to bury that. And seeing you again, it just...”

“I’m sorry, Aurora,” Brianna said.

Aurora took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then shook her head and released her. “No,” she said. “Don’t be. Don’t be sorry for taking care of yourself, Briana. You did what was right for you. That was just...a moment of weakness on my part.” She looked over at Alex. “I’m really sorry. I honestly didn’t mean for that to happen. I didn’t even expect it. I just...”

“It’s okay,” Alex replied. “I get it.”

“Thank you.” She laughed and then rubbed at her eyes a little. “One thing about being a vampire: no clean-up when I cry. No tears. Well, almost none.” She sighed. “Now I’m so embarrassed. It’s just that Brianna and I spent so many hours here. You have no idea how many nights we came here and just...sat all fucking night long and drank coffee and ate snacks and talked. Being here again like this, I guess it unlocked those memories. Not just the memories, but the feelings of those memories. All that pain and loneliness that I’ve been working at suppressing just...came rushing back. Ugh, I’m not trying to guilt you or anything, Brianna. I really do understand why you left. This is just...a price we pay for loving people. I love you and it hurt when you weren’t in my life anymore.” She rolled her eyes and laughed suddenly.

“God, how depressing this got.”

“It’s okay,” Alex said, “it’s...real. Real’s important.”

“It is,” Aurora agreed. “Having people you trust enough to have real, no-bullshit, genuine conversations with is, I think, one of the most important pleasures in life.”

“You trust me?” Alex asked, looking at her.

“I guess I do,” Aurora replied, after thinking about it for a bit. She smiled. “I do trust you, Alex.” Then she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Okay, okay, we’ve had a ‘real’ conversation. Let’s get back to the fun stuff. I want to hear about the first time you two fucked.”

Brianna grinned. “I would be thrilled to tell you about it. Alex?”

“I guess I don’t mind,” he replied awkwardly. Brianna shifted back around in the booth until she was seated next to him again.

“So, the very first time I got Alex to stick his cock in me...” she began.

…

They stayed at the cafe until after the sun went down.

Alex hardly noticed. He, Brianna, and Aurora had a lot to talk about, mainly sharing stories but also lamenting some of the more miserable aspects of the society they found themselves living in. Li came over to chat a few times, and then her lover, who was another very attractive, middle-aged blonde woman named Leigh. The ladies clearly enjoyed catching up with Brianna and getting to know Alex. He was really seeing what Aurora was talking about, and realized how much he missed doing stuff like this. When he was still in high school, he and his friends did stuff like this all the time, even if it was just hanging out in one of their rooms, eating pizza and talking about random shit.

Eventually, all that was left in his life was Brianna, and she was fantastic. The times he had with her were a lot like this, but there had always been that sexual tension, and it was surely his own fault for not trying to relax and enjoy the conversations more. But the time at the cafe was a fantastic one, and showed him a prime example of time just straight-up disappearing. He was honestly surprised when he checked his phone at one point when the conversation had lulled and saw that it was now past ten o’clock at night. He blinked, checked it again, then looked outside.

It was dark, and still raining.

“Wow,” he muttered.

“What?” Aurora asked.

“It’s like ten o’clock,” he replied.

She glanced up, out the window, then at her phone. “Oh shit, it is.” She laughed. “That was a nice conversation and meal.”

“Yes, it was. So now what?” Brianna asked.

“Hmm...ugh, I know what we should do.”

“What’s that?” Alex asked.

“I should probably be a responsible adult and go grocery shopping. My kitchen is actually pretty bare and if you’re going to be hanging around, Bri, then I’ve gotta stock it up. Cause you’re going to eat me out of house and home.”

“I’ll eat you out of something,” Brianna replied, smirking.

Aurora snorted. “Good, slut. But come on, we need to go shopping. I know the perfect place,” she said.

“Let’s go,” Brianna said. “I’ll make sure you buy more than just energy drinks and bags of chips.”

“That’s all I fucking need,” Aurora replied. “Besides frozen pizzas.”

“Uh-huh,” Brianna said, rolling her eyes.

They got up and headed out of the cafe, saying goodbye to Li and Leigh. Getting into Aurora’s car, she pulled out of the parking lot and began driving them again through the dark, rainy city. Alex felt very relaxed as he held Brianna in the back seat. She kissed him and leaned in, whispering in his ear, “I want to fuck you and Aurora in my werewolf form.”

“Oh...fuck,” he responded softly.

“Yes?” she asked.

“Yes please,” he murmured.

“What are you two muttering about back there?” Aurora asked.

“You’ll see later,” Brianna replied. “Keep driving, bitch.”

“I’ll come back there,” Aurora said.

Alex laughed. “You two are...very interesting,” he said.

“You get to be after enough time,” Brianna replied.

Alex settled back further into his seat, watching the city roll by, holding Brianna and being held by her, tremendously relaxed and enjoying the rain. It was beautifully peaceful, and the fact that he was in the back seat of a car, just cuddling with his amazing girlfriend, made this feel almost like a perfect moment. As they drove on, he looked over at Brianna, who looked back at him with a small smile and her kind, clear eyes, and he felt a shockingly powerful stab of emotion hit him. He hugged her suddenly, resting his head on her shoulder, and he felt her enfold him tightly in a return hug. In that moment, he found himself wondering something that was kind of scary in its enormity: was he falling in love with Brianna?

Had he already?

Was it too fast? Too early?

Just how in the fuck was he supposed to know? What was love precisely anyway? Whatever this was, it felt powerful, and didn’t have very much to do with lust, if anything at all. He just...cared about her. He loved that they were connected like this. He wanted to make her happy, to enjoy things with her. Simple things flashed through his mind, lying in bed together, watching the rain, playing video games, going for walks through a park.

“I’m so glad you’re my boyfriend,” she said softly in his ear.

“I’m beyond glad that you’re my girlfriend,” he replied immediately.

She pulled back slightly, staring at him, looking into his eyes, then gave him a long, firm kiss on the mouth, slipping her tongue briefly in and twisting it with his own. He kissed her back, and although he didn’t know if this was love, he knew that he did love the way she made him feel, and that he could apparently make her happy, and that he wanted this to continue for a long, long time. And for right now, that would have to be enough.

“Okay, lovebirds,” Aurora said, “we’re here. Come on.”

She parked again, and they got out. As they crossed the parking lot, Brianna held his hand, walking close to him, and Aurora took his other hand.

“I’m not imposing, am I?” she asked with what seemed like actual uncertainty.

“Not at all,” Brianna said. “This is our night.”

“Yes,” Alex agreed, and Aurora laced their fingers together and squeezed gently. Her hand was cold and a little clammy, but he didn’t mind, squeezing back. It felt surreal to walk into the quiet grocery store with these two women holding his hands. Aurora had to let go soon after because she needed to grab a shopping cart. They trailed after her as she began moving down the aisles of the mostly deserted store.

“You know, seeing you and Aurora together is kind of weird,” he murmured.

“Why’s that?” Brianna asked.

“I guess besides the other people we’ve run into during the trip out here, she’s really the only person I’ve seen you be friends with. There was never anyone at your house, as far as I knew, and whenever we went out it was just you and me,” he replied.

“Well, I did want to be alone for the most part, when I moved. I had people over occasionally in the beginning, people I, you know, picked up at a bar or something. But for the most part I just needed no other voices or people around. I needed silence. Alone.”

“Did it help?” Aurora asked from in front of them, as she guided the cart. She sounded a little cautious.

“I think it did,” Brianna replied. “Well, it at least got me him,” she said, nudging Alex.

“It certainly helped me,” he said.

They moved slowly through the grocery store. He noted, with some amusement, that Brianna’s assessment of Aurora’s shopping choices was fairly accurate. She went through the aisles like an eighteen year old hitting up the store on their own for the first time. It was funny, but also kind of endearing, and somehow relieving. In some vague way, Alex feared ‘growing older’. Not necessarily the passage of time, but the notion that he would stop...well, being like he was now. There were certainly some things he would gladly abandon, like his insecurity and anxiety and depression, but...he liked liking the things he liked now.

Maybe that was a stupid and obvious sentiment, but he saw so many middle-aged people who just seemed so...glum, burned out, or resigned. From what he had seen, a lot of people didn’t seem to take joy from their lives. Then again, he’d been like that not too long ago. But being with Brianna was really bringing out his happiness again, which was highlighting practically everything with a fresh new shine. His time with her was reminding him of the times when he’d been genuinely happy, and just enjoying things. It was less of a thing now, but when he was still growing up, he remembered seeing all these sentiments about how people were ‘too old to play video games’.

The older he got, the more frustrated he became with this notion. Why was there an age limit? There was no age limit to reading or enjoying movies. But then he’d come across something online, an article about a generation of people who’d actually kind of gone through the same thing: teens who’d gotten heavily into tabletop roleplaying games in the eighties. They were still doing it. Not all of them, but those that had quit, from what he understood, did so because they naturally fell out of it. But the idea of people in their forties and fifties and even older than that still happily playing those old school tabletop RPGs was a happy one.

Aurora, who, although she hadn’t directly stated it yet, he had the idea that she was around the same age as Brianna, was still like a twenty-something. The older he got, the more it seemed that there was nothing saying you had to stop liking the things you liked because you were ‘too old’. That was very appealing to him.

They walked on as Aurora tossed bags of chips, soda, energy drinks, frozen pizzas and cheeseburgers, and several bottles of wine, into her cart. Brianna would occasionally sigh and throw in other things with a bit more substance: burger patties, a huge pack of sausages, some cans of soup and lunchmeat and bread, a jug of milk.

Aurora would just roll her eyes each time Brianna did this.

Eventually, they had a pretty full cart and were headed for the self-checkout. As they did, Alex saw a small group of people coming into the store, and felt a small, cold stab of an old, unhappy emotion that seemed to have no need to be here: envy. It was here, though. As unnecessary and illogical as it was, it was here, bitter and strong.

“What’s wrong?” Brianna asked, and Aurora looked over at him.

“Nothing,” he replied.

Brianna followed his gaze to the three people that had walked in. He felt petty and immature and stupid. It was just some guy probably his age and two hot chicks. For some reason, he’d noticed that specific pairing more than once, and it always bugged him. He figured it was probably because he had a fuckload of insecurity issues, and a number of other subtle social issues that he only had barely scratched the surface of, or even more than that, which he wasn’t aware of at all.

“No, what?” Aurora pressed. “Obviously something’s up.”

“I just...can we wait til we get to the car?” he asked. “It’s not a big deal or anything.”

“Yeah,” Brianna said, and kissed him.

They finished scanning all the items, before Aurora paid and finished checking things out. They bagged the items, then brought everything out to her car. After loading it into the trunk, putting away the cart, and getting back into the vehicle, Aurora began driving them back to her place.

“So, what’s up?” Brianna asked.

“To begin with, it’s stupid,” he said. “That douche-ba...” he sighed, “the guy that walked in with those hot chicks, it’s just like...I don’t know. That guy thinks he’s so fucking cool, you can just tell. He’s dressed like a frat-house jackoff, walking in like he’s the shit, and the message is so obvious: Fuck you and your pathetic life, you might as well just give up, I’m better than you.” He sighed suddenly and shook his head. “Goddamn that sounds so fucking pathetic and juvenile. I’m just so sick of all the ways our society tells me and guys like me that I’m a fucking waste of space unless I’m fucking hot women and have a fit body, but then at the same time spend hundreds of millions of dollars exploiting every possible tiny little psychological trick and trap to get me to eat fucking unhealthy as shit fast food and lead a goddamned sedentary lifestyle. Then, smug fucking assholes who have either money or a fast metabolism talk down to people who are killing themselves working shit, soul-sucking, mindless jobs for minimum wage with no healthcare, who are having a difficult time just getting through the day, let alone getting to a fucking gym, and...fuck, this really ballooned into a lot of things...” he muttered.

“Yeah,” Aurora said softly.

He shook his head and heaved a huge sigh. “Whatever. My point is, I hate the feeling I get when I see some trumped-up jackoff who is clearly broadcasting the message that he feels superior to me and I should feel fucking worthless because of that.”

“A few thoughts,” Brianna replied after a moment. “The first one is that you don’t know the situation at all that that guy’s in. He could be being dragged to the store by his sisters, or his sister and her friend. Or it could have been his girlfriend and her friend, but it’s also possible that he might be having a shit relationship. And although I do think that there’s a lot of guys out there who try to build themselves up and tear others down in as many subtle, and less subtle, ways as they can, and a lot of women do this to each other too, I do think that at least some of this, an appreciable portion, is you projecting...please don’t be mad at me for saying that.”

He laughed softly. “I’m not. You’re right. I guess that’s a clue as to how deep my damage goes. I’ve had like the best fucking few days of my life, and I see one little inconsequential thing, and it completely derails me.”

“I know how you feel,” Brianna said.

“You do?” he asked.

“Yes. I mean, I believe I mentioned that I did go through a period of near poverty. I know what envy feels like. I know sleepless nights and hating yourself and feeling like a goddamned failure and hating just...everything. I know.”

“I’m sorry,” he murmured.

“I’m sorry that you have to feel any of that.”

“Got any advice?”

She laughed. “Shit, I don’t know. I guess the biggest thing I’ve learned is that this stuff takes time. Most people would tell you that same shit as always, ‘don’t care what other people think’. I think that’s sort of true, but you should care what some people think. Although honestly, only a few people. I care what you think about me, and what Aurora thinks about me. You know, for the most part, but her standards are really low.”

“Eat me, whore,” Aurora replied.

“Not with that attitude. You keep talking back to me, bitch, and I’ll strap up, hold you down, and fucking destroy your pussy. You know I can.”

“Oh fuck, would you? I’ve got a strap-on,” Aurora replied.

Brianna smirked. “We’ll see...” she turned back to Alex, “anyway, what was I saying...you’re distracted by sex thoughts now, aren’t you?”

“Kind of...though not as much as I would be otherwise. Keep going,” he replied.

“Okay. Like I was saying earlier, start trying to just...you know, dismiss what the average person thinks about you. Or shit, even just what you think other people think about you. You literally had no interaction with any of those three people that put you in such a bad mood. Did they even look at you, glance at you?”

“No, I don’t think so,” he replied.

“Exactly. Regardless of what that guy might be thinking, what difference does it make to you? You start focusing on blocking that shit out. And, maybe this will help the most, but I’ll point out the goddamned obvious here: you’ve got no idea if those two chicks were gonna fuck that guy. You know for a fact that these two chicks are gonna fuck your brains out when we get home.”

He couldn’t help but laugh a little. “Yeah, that’s a good, and obvious, point.”

“I know shit can get you down, and we’ve all got our sore spots. That’s the problem with emotions, and, consequently, emotional wounds and scars: they aren’t logical. The best you can do is just try to deal with them as they come up,” Brianna said, and hugged him closer to her. “Anything else?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Feeling better?”

“Yeah, definitely. Sorry for bringing the mood down.”

“Hey, I broke down crying earlier tonight,” Aurora said.

“Yeah, but you had a legit reason. I literally just got pissed for no reason.”

“I don’t know, I think you made a few good points about the bullshit of society,” Aurora replied. “But whatever, everything’s cool, and it’s about to get a whole lot better. I’m about to take you two up there and we’re going to fuck like horny teenagers.”

“Fine by me,” Alex said as she parked and they got out.

Brianna laughed. “What a surprise. But seriously, Alex, I want you to hear me.” A serious look on her face, Brianna looked at him intently. “You’re allowed to get angry, and it’s not for a bad reason. Your reasons for feeling the way you do are not dumb or bad. Just don’t let it get to you too much, okay?”

Nodding in agreement, he helped them grab the groceries and they all headed upstairs. Aurora tried to just drop all the bags off in the kitchen and rush to her bedroom, but Brianna chastised her and made her help them put the food away. Alex sympathized with Aurora.

“Come on,” she complained as she quickly shoved cans away in her cabinet, “I’m horny! I want Alex’s cock inside me.”

“You are such a whore,” Brianna replied.

“Oh, like you aren’t,” Aurora snapped.

“I didn’t say I wasn’t.”

“Ugh! Whatever!” She placed the last can and slammed the cabinet shut. “Okay! Can we go fuck now?!”

“Yes, Aurora,” Brianna said. “I swear to fuck, you never really grew up.”

“Growing up fucking blows,” Aurora retorted.

“That it does,” Brianna agreed, taking Alex’s hand and following her through her apartment and into her bedroom.

The lust that had been buzzing through Alex for most of the night suddenly came to the forefront, an intense pulse of desire, like a pure, mainline shot of raw, desperate sexual need. As soon as they were in the bedroom, all three of them quickly began to shuck their clothing, the urgent need to be engaged physically with each other obvious in all their movements. As soon as they were nude, all three of them climbed onto the bed. Aurora grabbed Alex and pulled him on top of her, then began kissing him passionately.

He kissed her back, hands running over her wonderful, pale, tattooed body. After a moment, he shifted, pushing himself up, and began to kiss his way down her body, intent on delivering some pleasure. As he moved, Brianna took his place, lying beside Aurora and kissing her firmly while groping her big breasts.

Aurora moaned loudly as Alex got in between her thick thighs and began eating her out. She reached down, running her fingers through his hair, crying out. He massaged her clit with his tongue, slipping a finger slowly into her. He wanted to get her off again. Besides the aspect of mutual respect in wanting to pleasure your partner as they were pleasuring you, there was something extremely satisfying and invigorating about making a paranormal woman come hard. And just the sounds that she was making from his effort…

They were wonderful.

He kept going until he felt Brianna slip down beside him. “Here,” she said, “can you roll partway onto your side? I’ll suck you off.”

“Mmm-hmm,” he replied, still licking Aurora’s clit.

He managed to roll just enough so that his stiff cock was available, and groaned at the hot, wet pleasure that enveloped it as Brianna began giving him head. Her mouth, her lips, her tongue, they were all wonderful. After another few minutes, Aurora let out a shriek of pleasure and bucked her hips, surprising him.

“Oh, fucking fuck!” she screamed as she started her orgasm.

He kept fingering her, feeling her vagina clench around it. She grew a little hotter and wetter, though not by much. When she was finished, she fell back with a gasp.

“Thank you so much for that,” she whispered. “That was fantastic.”

“Glad I could help,” he replied. “Now what?”

“Now,” Brianna said, taking his cock from her mouth, “both of you just lay down beside each other. I’m going to fuck each of you.”

“Sounds great,” Alex replied immediately, getting up.

“Where’s that damned strap-on?” Brianna asked.

“Over here, drawer,” Aurora replied, pointing.

“It can handle me in my werewolf form, right?”

“Oh shit! You’re gonna transform!? Fuck, yes, it can!” Aurora replied eagerly.

“Yeah. I told you I was going to own that fucking pussy of yours,” Brianna said as she pulled open the drawer and found the strap-on. She set it down on the bed beside Aurora, then found the lube and sat it down too.

Then, she got up off the bed and stood at its end. Both of them stared at her. She stared back at them. And then Brianna began her transformation process. Alex felt that same rapt fascination coursing through him as he watched her change: the dark fur coming in, the lengthening of her limbs, the way her face changed, taking on more animalistic qualities, becoming that strange amalgamation of both her own facial features and that of a wolf.

“That is never not hot,” Aurora said breathlessly. “Good lord.”

“I’m glad you still approve,” Brianna replied after she finished transforming, her voice rougher and deeper, as she stared down at them. She had to be seven feet tall now, maybe taller. Fuck. Alex watched as she climbed onto the bed.

“First, if you don’t mind, I’ll destroy Aurora. How does that sound?”

“Great,” both he and Aurora said at the same time.

Brianna laughed, then grabbed the strap-on and began to get it up around her legs. She looked a little ridiculous getting it on, but managed it with a good amount of dexterity. As soon as it was on, she let out a short growl as she got onto Aurora, grabbing her wrists and holding her down, pressing her into the mattress. Aurora stared up at her, breathing rapidly, eyes wide. Brianna licked up the side of Aurora’s face.

“Spread your legs,” she growled.

“Yes, ma’am,” Aurora whispered in response, apparently enraptured by Brianna. Alex didn’t blame her, he felt pretty much the same way.

Aurora got her long, pale legs open and as soon as she did, Brianna slipped the false cock in. Aurora cried out as she was penetrated.

“Oh, fuuuuuck, Brianna...” she moaned loudly.

Brianna gave a short huff of a laugh, readjusted her grip on Aurora’s wrists, pressing them more firmly down into the mattress, and then set to work.

She fucked her brains out.

Aurora began screaming in total abandon, in absolute ecstasy. The bed shook violently as Brianna really cut loose, pounding the living fuck out of her vampire friend. Alex felt intensely powerful desire coursing through him as he watched the erotic display. Brianna kissed Aurora hard on the mouth and she kissed her back, moaning and screaming. The way Brianna was holding her down firmly, not letting her move, and the way Aurora was squirming and writhing, was absurdly arousing. Especially when Aurora began screaming, “Fuck me, mistress! Fuck me, mistress!” And Brianna somehow began to go even harder.

And then, suddenly, she pulled out, grabbed Aurora and flipped her over. The vampire let out a surprised but joyous shriek as she was suddenly placed on her stomach, then was yanked up onto her hands and knees. Brianna bent over her, reinserted the fake cock, and resumed pounding her goddamned brains out.

“Oh, fuck! Oh, fucking shit, Brianna! FUCKING FUCK YES!” she screamed in mad lust and absolute sexual gratification.

She fucked Aurora until the vampire had a shrieking orgasm, and then Brianna held her tightly, continuing to fuck her, pounding against her thick, pale ass, making her scream louder. She held her until she’d finished coming, a look of satisfaction on her wolfish face, and as soon as Aurora had stopped moving and yelling, she pulled out and let her fall forward. The redheaded vampire laid there, breathing heavily, as Brianna began getting out of the strap-on.

“Okay,” she said as soon as she was free of it, “your turn.”

She climbed on top of Alex and he felt a rush of excitement (and a little bit of fear) flow through him. Brianna looked enormous, a gigantic wolf-woman cast in black fur. As she carefully gripped his dick and brought it closer to her, lining it up, he could feel the heat coming off of her. He groaned loudly and convulsively arched his back as she slipped him inside of her, pushing himself deeper into that insanely hot, wet perfection.

“Holy fuck,” he gasped.

“There’s a good boy,” Brianna replied, gripping the headboard and beginning to ride him. She went slowly at first, seeming to savor the experience of her pussy taking in the full length of his cock over and over again. Her eyes closed, she chewed on her lower lip. He reached up and cupped her large, furred breasts in his hands and looked down, watching his cock disappear into her again and again. He still couldn’t believe just how wet she was.

And he was learning that it was never not amazing to be fucked by a werewolf in her natural form.

Brianna began to ride him faster, opening up her eyes, staring at him intently. The sheer pleasure of their coupling was overwhelming. As she went faster and harder, pleasuring herself with his dick, she ended up not lasting too long before she began to come. Which was actually great, because he didn’t last particularly long either.

Not after that display of paranormal girl-on-girl action.

As Brianna began crying out and he felt that release of feminine sex juices begin coming out of her, he triggered almost immediately, grabbing her hips tightly and beginning to blow his load into her, his cock twitching spasmodically as it began emptying his seed as rapidly as possible. They came together in a symphony of bliss, pure, drug-like ecstasy spilling through them, uniting them even further, and he felt lost in the pleasure.

When she was done coming, Brianna got off of him, stood up, and padded off to the bathroom. He laid there, breathing heavily, and then felt Aurora suddenly take his hand. He looked over at her. She was lying on her side, smiling sedately at him.

“I like you,” she said.

“I like you, too,” he replied, taking her hand and squeezing gently.

“I’m really, really glad you’re dating Brianna. You’re easily the best guy she’s ever dated.”

“Oh, come on, not easily,” Brianna complained from the bathroom.

“Easily,” Aurora repeated.

“I really don’t know how to take that,” he murmured.

“Take it as a compliment and be happy,” Aurora said.

“I guess, I mean more for Brianna’s sake. I’m not really that great in terms of dating material, or even casual sex material.”

“Oh, bullshit,” Aurora replied. “You’re relaxed, you’re easy to get along with, polite, respectful, fun, and cute. And on the sex front, you listen to us, you’re concerned about getting us off, and you fucking love having sex with us.”

“Who wouldn’t?” he said.

“I guess a lot of people would, but like I said earlier, a lot are subconsciously, or obviously, scared of us or intimidated by us. But more importantly, you are just so unabashed about how enthusiastically thrilled you are to be fucking us. There’s no pretension with you. No games, no subterfuge, no bullshit. You just love fucking and all that comes with that. You love kissing and foreplay and cuddling afterward and conversation. I can tell. So, you’re great. You’re going to have to accept that and get over it.”

“I’ll, uh, do my best,” he replied, and Aurora laughed.

“Come on. We need a shower, then you need some sleep. You look exhausted.”

“He’d better be, after that,” Brianna chimed in from the bathroom, as he heard her turn on the shower.

Alex got up and followed Aurora into the bathroom.

All in all, it had turned out to be a really great day.

CHAPTER SIX

As it turned out, Alex was exhausted enough to sleep deeply.

Paranormal sex, he was learning, was fairly tiring. He didn’t wake up until a little after three o’clock the next afternoon, and even then, he was groggy and slow. Aurora was still in bed next to him, but Brianna was somewhere else in the apartment. He had a horrible erection and rolled over, gently laying a hand against Aurora’s warm, bare shoulder.

“Hey, Aurora,” he murmured, yawning, “uh, you wanna have wake-up sex?”

She shifted and then rolled over to face him. She looked a little disappointed. “I would. I really would. I want to, actually, but Brianna wasn’t kidding when she said she was going to fucking destroy me. When she fucks me like that it fucking wrecks my pussy for about a day or two, so...I’m afraid I’m out of commission.”

“That sucks,” he muttered.

“Me too. I do want to cuddle, though.”

“Gladly,” he said, and she rolled back over, and he got up against her back, wrapping an arm around her and hugging her to him.

“Oh, you’re so warm,” she whispered.

They laid there together, but it didn’t last long, as Brianna came into the bedroom and climbed onto the bed.

“I believe I heard my boyfriend asking for sex,” she said as she lifted the blankets and got up against his back.

“I’m too sore,” Aurora replied.

“I know. I remember that you can’t handle me,” Brianna replied. She reached between them and he groaned and shuddered as her hand found his cock, squeezing it gently. “But I gotta take care of my man. He gets so horny in the mornings. Roll over, babe.”

“Thank you,” he replied. She backed up, allowing him to roll over. As soon as he was on his back, she got on top of him, and he saw that she was still nude. Without a pause, she took his cock into her and began riding him. The pleasure slammed into him, an intensely powerful thing. Morning sex was always just so fucking fantastic.

He lasted maybe a minute before he started orgasming inside of her.

“Mmm...there’s a good boy,” she said as he groaned and thrust into her, emptying his seed into her pussy.

“Fuck, babe...fuck, that’s so good...” he moaned as he came.

When he was finished, he blinked a few times, feeling more awake. Brianna smiled down at him, looking absurdly beautiful.

“Feeling better?” she asked.

“Yeah, definitely. Although I really need a shower and to brush my teeth, get something to eat maybe...”

“We can do that. Come on.”

She got off of him and they headed for the bathroom. While Brianna started up the shower and slipped in, he brushed his teeth after asking Aurora if he could borrow her toothbrush. Taking a leak, he got into the shower with Brianna.

After a bit, Aurora joined them.

“So, what to do today?” Brianna asked brightly.

“I hate how much of a morning person you are,” Aurora complained.

“It is not morning,” Brianna shot back.

“Whatever...oh shit! I just remembered. Fuck, this was bugging me yesterday and I finally just remembered. I know the fucking perfect place to go. Alex, you are going to love this so much. There’s an ambient music festival playing in town.”

“Oh shit, I didn’t know that! Yes, that will be perfect. Does it sound good Alex?” Brianna replied, looking at him excitedly.

He thought about it. For some reason, his initial reaction was to decline going, but when he asked himself ‘why?’, there was nothing solid. He loved ambient music and he had always wanted to go to a festival, as he knew there were dozens of them across the world every year, but he’d never had the time, or, more honestly, the money. And here an opportunity had fallen into his lap. He imagined that Brianna or Aurora would happily pay whatever fees came up, and it wasn’t like he had anything more pressing to do.

Finally, he came to the reluctant conclusion that he was anxious simply because it was something new, and maybe, deeper than that, because it would bring him face to face with his true passion, something he’d been neglecting for a long time now. But as he thought that, he remembered how, not all that long ago, he’d gone through and cataloged his work with a zeal he hadn’t felt in a long time, and he realized that the fear he was feeling was largely unnecessary. He didn’t have to feel guilty about neglecting his passion because he now felt ready to rekindle that love. He’d technically already begun. If anything, this would just fan the flames.

“That sounds amazing,” he replied. “I would love to go.”

“Good! Then I will drive us there right after we get some breakfast. It’s on a beach,” Aurora declared.

“Haven’t been to one of these in too long,” Brianna murmured as she began washing her hair.

“You’ve gone to an ambient music festival before?” Alex asked.

“I go occasionally. Have since the nineties. I told you I like ambient music.”

“Oh,” he murmured.

“What, did you think I was just being nice?” she asked.

“I mean...maybe a little?”

“I don’t really do that.”

“We tend not to feign niceness,” Aurora added. “I mean, not to that degree, I guess. It’s sometimes a weakness. But we both like that kind of music, and festivals are fun! They’re not quite as fun as raves...although I guess it depends on what you like. They’re a million times more mellow. Lots of people just relaxing on the beach. Actually, I’m positive there’s gonna be food there, so we can just go right to the festival and grab something to eat. It’ll be great.”

…

After the shower, they dressed and headed down to Aurora’s car.

It was that perfect blend of gray and chilly outside. Hoodie weather, and it made him glad that Aurora had offered him one of hers. He now wore a big black zippered hoodie. (She was wearing one herself, given her aversion to sunlight, even on a cloudy day.) The gray clouds seemed to go on forever, and although it had clearly rained at some point, it wasn’t raining now, though looked like it could start back up again at any moment. It was truly his kind of day. He and Brianna sat in the back while Aurora navigated.

“Excited?” Brianna asked.

“Yeah, actually. I’ve never been to one of these, but I’ve always wanted to go,” he replied.

“They’re a lot of fun. Plus, great place to pick up casual fucks. People tend to be pretty chill about casual sex at these festivals, and they’re chiller than most in Thorne. I’m sure we can pick up a new fuck friend here.”

“That...would be interesting,” he replied.

Brianna laughed. “You’re still so awkward about sex.”

“I get the feeling that’s going to go on for a long time,” Alex replied.

“Good,” Aurora said. “It’s kind of a turn on.”

She apparently lived pretty close to the beach where the festival was going on, because within another five or so minutes, she pulled into a parking lot that was packed with cars, parked, and they all got out.

“That’s the ocean,” Alex said quietly as they walked onto the beach.

“Yep. You’ve never seen it before, have you?” Brianna replied.

He shook his head. “No, not in person. It’s...vast.”

“That’s one way of describing it,” Aurora said.

He stared at it as they walked slowly along the beach. It was huge. Immense. Unnerving, in a way. To just look out onto the ocean and see...nothing but water. Nothing at all standing out, only miles upon miles of water. It looked like it went on forever.

“Hey, Alex. How’d you get into making music?” Aurora asked.

They started walking again, making their way down the beach towards the huge collection of tents and people there.

“Well, I got my first computer when I was like eleven. I mean my own computer, one I could have in my room. Really, it was a laptop. It came with this basic music making program and one day I just...opened it up. I was curious. I messed with it on and off for about four years, just making really simple tunes and tracks. But, I don’t know, something changed sometime during my fifteenth year. I got really inspired all of a sudden one day and sat down and just...started working on a track. I spent the whole day, and most of the next two days, all my free time, just working on it. Looking back on it now, it wasn’t very good, but I had such a blast making it. I became addicted to that feeling, and it was only fueled by the fact that I had found a place to upload it to. It was a different website than the one I’m on now, it’s actually defunct now, but I got a little following there and uploading a new track was just...it was intoxicating, really.”

“I do know the feeling,” Aurora murmured wistfully. “I draw off and on. So, then what happened?”

“Not much, really. I mean, I kept making tracks for another like...four years. Then I got busy with work and that was pretty soul-sucking and I kind of just...stopped.”

“That’s really depressing,” Aurora said.

“It’s okay, though. I’ve actually been really feeling powerful inspiration since coming to Thorne. I’m ready to get back into it.”

“Hopefully this will feed into that,” Brianna said.

They came to the edge of the festival. There were a lot of people around, at least a couple hundred, just wandering around, or standing around and chatting on the beach, or gathered under tents, listening to whoever was putting on a show right then. There were a few stalls serving food nearby, so the three of them walked over. Aurora got a slice of pizza, and Brianna got a big sub sandwich packed with meat and cheese. Alex grabbed a burrito wrapped in some tinfoil and they ate as they moved deeper into the crowd.

Right away, Alex could tell that he liked it here. There was just an atmosphere, a presence to the place. It felt so serene, and welcoming. Everyone looked happy and at ease. The music sounded great, the food tasted wonderful. Aurora occasionally would say hello to someone. As Alex walked and ate his burrito, he soaked in the ambiance, letting that wonderful feeling of unreality settle over him. Because it was a good feeling, that odd, somewhat muted mix of emotions that he got when making love to Brianna or one of the women she had introduced him to, or walking around the city, the feeling that this wasn’t real, because it was too good.

But he also tried to enjoy the here and now, because it was real, and it was actually happening, and he couldn’t let this slip by.

This was too wonderful not to enjoy.

They ended up standing near the back of one of the bigger tents. It had a lot of couches, loveseats, and foldout chairs under it. The stage at the front had a pair of people on it, a man and a woman, overseeing their setup as they played their setlist. They found an unoccupied loveseat and as they approached it, someone called out Aurora’s name.

“Hey!” she called, waving at a group of people, almost all of whom had on big, baggy hoodies, too. Vampires, he surmised.

“I’m gonna go hang out with them for awhile, if that’s okay. We need to catch up,” Aurora said, looking over at him and Brianna.

“Have fun, Aurora. We’ll be here,” Brianna replied.

“Thanks!” She gave them both a kiss on the lips, then hurried off. He and Brianna sat down on the loveseat, though she sighed suddenly and stood up.

“You okay?”

“Yeah, I just really gotta pee. Came on all of a sudden. I’m going to track down a bathroom. You okay here by yourself?”

He nodded. “I’ll be fine, babe.”

“Okay. Be back in a moment.”

She gave him a quick kiss, then headed off. He watched her go, then settled more comfortable against the loveseat and wrapped the hoodie a bit tighter around himself. A chilly wind was blowing in off the ocean. He listened to the music. Listened to the waves caressing the landscape behind him. Listened to the chill chatter of the people around him. He felt the urge, suddenly powerful and almost desperate, to be back at the hotel room with his laptop, a pair of headphones on, making music. It was a wonderful feeling to have.

“Would you mind if I sat here?”

Alex jerked slightly, looking over as the woman spoke. She’d kind of just snuck up on him. Shit, he hadn’t heard her at all. She stood just to his right, and he felt an immediately powerful jolt of lust stab at him, much more potent than normal. It wasn’t just that she was hot, there was something else about her.

But wow, was she hot.

She was short, maybe a few inches over five feet, with a trim body, though a pleasant swell at her hips and chest. She had pale skin. Her short hair was dyed bubblegum pink and deep blue. She had heavy eyeliner on and her lips were vividly red. Her eyes, blue, almost seemed to glow. She had on a very tight white t-shirt and some tight cargo pants.

“Uh...no,” he replied. “Not at all.”

“Thanks,” she said, smiling a little shyly and sitting next to him. “Um, I’m Lindsey.”

“Alex,” he replied. She shivered suddenly and pulled a blanket that had been hanging on the back of the couch.

“Wanna share some body heat?” she asked.

“Um... sure,” he replied. “We could do that.”

She smiled a small smile and he helped her get the blanket spread out. She scooted over, pressing herself up against him.

The lust was more powerful than ever. Was this a bad idea? Would Brianna mind? She was so open, and he honestly thought that she would encourage him to hook up, given everything that had happened so far. She’d been thrilled to basically throw a literal stranger at him in a dressing room. He didn’t think she’d mind him hooking up with this extremely beautiful woman here. But did he even have a chance with her?

She was so fucking hot!

Everything she was doing was sending some strong signals that she was into him, the way she was looking at him, the way she was pressed against him beneath the blankets. He could be misreading this, but…

Well, she seemed forward enough to make a move on him if she wanted to, and he thought that’d be pretty perfect. He had never been good at making the first move.

“You seem a little out of place,” Lindsey said.

“Yeah. I’m visiting Thorne for the first time.”

“You like ambient music then?”

“I do, a lot. I love it. I’ve made some over the years,” he replied.

She shifted. “Have you now? That’s hot,” she murmured, and he felt her hand go around his stomach, her arm settling against him, pulling herself closer. “You got any of the music with you? I love hearing new music, especially from indies.”

“I, um...” She was really close now, staring into his eyes, practically in kissing distance. “...it’s back at my hotel room, on my laptop.”

“Wanna go there? We could listen to it, and do other things,” she said.

“Uh...like what?” he managed, his head now buzzing with raw desire.

She smiled, and it was a much more confident smile. “I’m positive we can think of something to do,” she replied.

“Hey honey, make a new friend?”

They both looked over. Brianna stood a few feet away, staring at him with a look of great amusement on her face.

He looked back over at Lindsey, the lust suddenly not as powerful as it had been. Was she...was she a paranormal? Now that it had fallen away, he suddenly wondered if some kind of magic had been being used on him.

Not that she needed it, given how attractive she was.

Lindsey looked horrified. She sniffed him suddenly. “Oh God...oh fuck,” she whispered, and she sounded genuinely afraid. “I just...he’s yours, isn’t he? I thought I smelled werewolf, but I figured there had to be some around.” She threw the blanket back and stood up. “I am so sorry. Please...I wasn’t trying to interfere with your, uh...with you and your human.”

“What’s going on?” Alex asked, standing up, then shifting and readjusting his pants uncomfortably. He had an intense erection.

“You can relax,” Brianna said. “She’s a succubus, aren’t you?”

Alex looked over at Lindsey, who looked back at him, chewing her lower lip nervously. She slowly nodded. “Yes.”

“He’s not my human, he’s my boyfriend,” Brianna said. She walked over and stood next to Alex, taking his hand. “And we’re in an open relationship. It’s really okay, I’m not mad at all.”

“You aren’t?” she asked, a look of intense relief coming across her face.

“I’m really not mad,” Brianna reassured her. “Honestly, I was going to see how far you were willing to go, but asking him to head back to the hotel, well...I figured I should probably get involved at that point.”

“So...we’re okay?” Alex asked, looking at Brianna. “I honestly didn’t know how you’d react to me hooking up with a stranger that you hadn’t, you know, introduced me to...”

“It’s fine, honey. Although, you,” she said, looking at Lindsey now, “were laying it on pretty damned thick.”

She sighed heavily. “I know, I know. I wasn’t...I mean, I could tell he was into me, I wasn’t going to try and make him do anything he didn’t want to. I just...I’m anxious.”

“Why are you anxious?” Alex asked.

“I’m new to this...” She sighed. “It’s a bit of a story. Should I go?”

“No. You should consummate the epic fuck session you were about to have with my boyfriend. I can get us back to the hotel,” Brianna replied.

“Really?” Lindsey asked.

“Yeah. I’m positive that Alex here will be absolutely thrilled to have sex with a succubus. Just one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“I get to watch.”

“Oh...” Lindsey smiled suddenly. “I’d like that.” She lost her smile and looked at Alex. “Do you think we could, uh...” She looked around again. “Nevermind.”

“What?” he asked.

“I’ll ask you at the hotel. It’s a little private,” she said.

“Okay,” he replied.

“Stay here you two. I need to track down Aurora and let her know what’s up, see if she wants in on this,” Brianna said, before she walked off, looking for Aurora.

“Who’s Aurora?”

“A vampire.”

“I thought I smelled vampire on you, too.”

“Her and Brianna are best friends. She brought us here.”

Lindsey looked at Brianna again, with a little bit of anxiety, then looked back at him. “So, she’s really cool with this?”

“Yes, she is. Trust me. Brianna doesn’t fake things. This is a legitimate offer. She actually wants to watch you have sex with me,” he replied.

“Okay, good. I figured, I just...that really freaked me the fuck out. I’ve heard stories about werewolves, especially the women and their humans. Uh...sorry, if that’s insulting or anything,” she said.

“I am human.”

“I know, I just mean, like...I thought you were her, um...”

“Pet? Slave? It’s okay, they’ve explained to me about it. I’m not upset.”

“Okay, good. It’s just really rare that I see like a real relationship between humans and paranormals. It’s typically the exception, not the rule.”

They watched Brianna talking with Aurora. A small smile came onto Lindsey’s face and when she spoke, her tone had brightened a bit. “Is that Aurora?”

“Yeah.”

“Wow, she’s so hot. So, you like...you’re with both of them?”

“I mean, I’m with Brianna, but yeah, we, uh, we’ve all been having sex together,” he replied. Talking about this was weird, but she was a succubus, so not that weird for her at least.

“That’s really hot. You must be thrilled.”

“Oh, yes, I’m over the goddamned moon. I still can’t believe this is all happening,” he replied.

“How did you get into this situation?”

“Short version? Met Brianna by chance, she decided she liked me, and we started dating a little bit ago after six months of friendship.”

“Oh. Huh.” Brianna was heading back their way.

“You sound disappointed,” he murmured.

“No, it’s just...it’s rare, like I said, for this kind of relationship to exist. I guess I just thought it’d be something a bit crazier. But no, I think it’s sweet actually. How’d you meet?”

“In a library,” he replied.

“That’s definitely cute.”

“Okay,” Brianna said, coming back up to them, “Aurora’s gonna hang out here. As much as she wants to watch you fuck a succubus, she has some catching up to do with some of her friends and says she’ll get in touch later. Now, if there’s no objections, I’ve called a cab for us to go back to the hotel and get our fuck on.”

“No objections here,” Alex said.

Brianna rolled her eyes. “Duh, you horny boy.”

“I’m ready to go,” Lindsey said. She still seemed slightly anxious of Brianna.

“Then let’s go.”

…

Alex finally got a chance to pursue something that was bugging him as they entered the hushed, empty corridors of their hotel. He hadn’t asked Lindsey in the back of the cab because, well, it was probably something she didn’t feel like talking about with a stranger around. Not that he and Brianna weren’t precisely strangers, but she’d agreed to fuck at least one of them, probably both of them. From the way Brianna was looking at her, he had the idea that Brianna fully intended to try and seduce Lindsey.

Which was really impressive, given that it was usually the succubi that did the seduction.

“So, Lindsey, why does Brianna make you so nervous? You mentioned you’d heard stories about werewolves, but it seems like there’s more,” he asked.

“I’m a little curious about that myself,” Brianna said as they headed for their room.

Lindsey sighed. “I know it’s hard to tell, but I’m actually fairly young. I’m twenty two. I’ve been spending my time just, you know, sleeping with other paranormals for the most part. But then I started really getting into humans. Then, one time I accidentally began seducing a human that, you know, belonged to a werewolf, and she just...totally flipped out. I mean, I can defend myself if I have to, but werewolves are strong, and they are scary when they want to be. I really thought she was going to try and kill me, but someone told me later that she was just publicly establishing dominance. It was so fucking embarrassing and terrifying. I am so glad that I can change my appearance just like that. So that’s why I freaked out, and am still kind of anxious.”

“Shit, I’m sorry,” Brianna said. They found their door, opened it up, and went in. She turned to Lindsey. “I really want you to know that I won’t get angry. I won’t get upset. I won’t yell at you or threaten you. I genuinely want you to enjoy having sex with my boyfriend, and hopefully me, cause I love having sex with succubi.”

“Okay, I believe you,” Lindsey said, and the last of her apprehension seemed to fall away. “And I really want to have sex with you too, actually. You are so fucking beautiful.” She looked at Alex and grew hesitant again suddenly. “I was going to ask you something earlier...”

“Yes, you were. What is it?” Alex replied. Lindsey hesitated further. “Don’t worry, Lindsey. If I’m not into whatever it is you’re going to ask, I’ll just tell you so. I won’t get upset. Worst case scenario, we just have regular sex.”

“I guess you’re right,” she murmured. “Okay, so, this is what I’d really, really like: would you be willing to have sex with me in my natural form?”

“Yeah, I’d love to,” he replied.

She looked pleasantly surprised, then hesitated again. “Maybe you should actually see me in my natural form first...”

“I’ve seen succubi before, but you can stop projecting if you want,” he replied.

He was at least somewhat familiar with succubi, although he knew that they were projecting with some kind of trick of the mind, so that they didn’t really transform the way werewolves did, but it was still kind of jarring to see her just...change. One second, he was looking at the attractive young human woman with blue and pink hair, the next, he was looking at a live, in-the-flesh succubus.

“Here,” she murmured, and quickly shed her clothing.

As he studied her, Alex felt a brand-new wave of intense, desperate desire roll through him. Seeing a picture or even a video of a nude succubus and seeing one live were, he learned, two completely different things.

She was tall, and very pink. Her skin was all pink. She had to be almost six and a half feet tall. She was extremely curvaceous, her breasts both very large and very firm, looking unnaturally good, like you’d expect a succubus to look. She broad hips and the most fucking amazing thighs. Behind her, he could see a thin black tail, tipped with a spade shape, drifting back and forth in what might have been a nervous tic. Her legs ended in polished black hooves. And then there was her face, her head. She had black horns sticking out of her forehead, which was different than most of the other succubi he’d seen, who had them curling along the sides of their head. Her hair was as red as blood and her eyes glowed a vivid pink color, flickering like live flames.

“So...this is what I look like,” she said.

“Holy fuck,” he whispered. “You are one of the hottest women I’ve ever seen in my life.” He glanced suddenly at Brianna.

“I’m not jealous, don’t worry,” she said. “You’re right. She’s insanely hot.”

“This doesn’t freak you out?” Lindsey asked. She’d regained her shy smile.

“Not at all. No, I want to fuck you so bad,” Alex replied.

“Oh, good. That’s so good. I’ve, um...I’ve never actually talked a human into having sex with me in my natural form. I hear about how good it is and I’ve wanted to try it so badly for years now.” Her smile transformed into one that looked a bit more natural on her: confident, smug, sexy. “Take off your clothes.”

“Yes ma’am,” he replied, kicking his shoes off as he took off his shirt.

“I know what you mean about doing it in your paranormal form,” Brianna said as she sat down, getting into position to enjoy the show. “It feels so good to fuck in my werewolf form.”

“I’ve managed to fuck vampires and werewolves and some elves in this form, but I’ve always had a special desire to do it with a human.”

Alex finished stripping down and stood naked before her, fighting the urge to cover himself. She looked him up and down with a small smile. “Very nice,” she said softly.

“Yep,” Brianna said.

“Do you know how sex with a succubus works?” she asked, taking his hand and leading him over to the bed.

“Uh, remind me,” he replied, his mind starting to go as it was overwhelmed by lust, and the knowledge that he was about to fuck an actual succubus.

Her skin was so soft and hot to the touch.

She teased the backs of his thighs with the tip of her tail as they headed for the bed, then he gasped as she poked it between his legs and touched his balls.

“Shit,” he whispered.

“Startle you?” she asked.

“A little,” he replied. “I’m not used to, uh, tails. Or that.”

“What? Brianna never touches your balls?” she asked as they climbed onto the bed.

“I touch them plenty, though usually with some warning first,” Brianna replied.

“Hard to help myself. I’m in a pretty good mood right now,” she said. “Now,” she continued as she pushed him onto his back, staring down at him with those flickering eyes of hers, “I believe I was explaining about succubus sex. It’s pretty simple. The pleasure I receive is generated by the pleasure I’m able to give you.”

“So...if I fingered you, it wouldn’t do anything for you?” he asked.

“Basically. It’d do some, but it’s just way better for me when I suck you off or have sex with you,” Lindsey replied.

“Huh. I almost feel bad. I really like going down on Brianna,” he murmured, thinking about it. There had to be some way around that.

“It’s really okay,” Lindsey replied. “Although that is really sweet.”

“He means it, too. And he’s good at eating pussy,” Brianna said. She sat up straighter suddenly. “Oh, damn! I almost completely forgot. Would you two be okay with it if I filmed this whole thing? Aurora practically begged me to.”

“I’d be okay with it. Although, I guess you might be a little reluctant.”

“Well...admittedly, I am kind of, you know, cautious. Paranoid, I guess. I figure if I get my dick out on camera, it’s just going to embarrass me. Although, why do you think I’d be hesitant?” he asked Lindsey.

“Well, like I said, it’s hard to get a human to fuck me like this. I mean, lots of guys are okay with fucking succubi when they look like hot human girls. But there’s certainly a big taboo when it comes to fucking us in our natural form...”

“Oh, I don’t care about that. I mean, Brianna’s not going to show it to anyone without checking with me first, I imagine.”

“Of course not, dear. This is largely for mine and Aurora’s viewing pleasure. Plus, hey, maybe we can fuck to it later. I imagine you’ll want to remember this particular instance.”

“I’ve wanted to, and I’m sure I will, remember every sexual encounter I’ve had ever since we first fucked,” he replied.

Brianna laughed. “Fair enough. So, we’re good then?”

He considered it a moment longer, then finally figured: Fuck it, why not? “Sure,” he said, “film us fucking.”

“Perfect. Aurora will be thrilled,” Brianna said, pulling out her phone. She aimed it at them and turned it on. “Okay, good to go.”

“I got it,” Alex said suddenly as the idea came to him. It was pretty obvious, he was surprised that either of the women hadn’t suggested it. Then again, the fact that Lindsey hadn’t might mean that it didn’t work. But maybe it would.

“What?” Lindsey asked.

“How I can pleasure you. We could sixty-nine.”

She smiled down at him. “You are intent on hauling your own weight, huh? You are definitely a sweetheart. Well...you know, my abilities are largely based off emotions, as much as they are the physicality of the encounter. So, I think that could work. Plus, I’ll be pleasuring you anyway, so...yeah, I’ll do it if you really want to.”

“I do,” he replied.

“Okay, but first I want to kiss you,” she said, and dipped her face closer to his until their lips met. And then he was making out with a succubus.

She placed his hands on her enormous breasts. They were so big he couldn’t even get them comfortably into his grasp, and there was something gratuitously erotic about that. As they kissed, the last of Lindsey’s anxiety disappeared completely. She twisted tongues together easily with him, and he loved the tasted of her, a mixture of sugar and honey, and the feel of her body. Good fucking God! He settled his hands on the swell of her thick, firm ass, absolutely in love with touching her. She was so warm and soft and smooth.

She was like a dream.

“Okay,” he whispered after a bit, “let’s do this.”

“Gladly,” she said. “You want me to straddle you or you on top of me?”

“Straddle me,” he replied.

“That’s what I like to hear.”

She got off of him, switched around, then threw a leg over him. Settling her pussy down right over his mouth, she got into position and he shivered when he felt her touch his dick. He gripped her thighs, reaching up and over, settling his hands against her thick, pink thighs. Then he stuck his tongue out and began to lick the small light pink nub of her clit. At that same moment, he felt the hot, wet contact of her taking his cock into her mouth and they both groaned loudly in pleasure. He felt her bobbing her head, felt her tongue caressing the head over and over again, sending sparks of pleasure sizzling wonderfully into him.

“Oh, fuck, it’s working,” she said, then quickly went back to sucking him off.

“This is seriously so fucking hot,” Brianna said. “Aurora’s going to fucking masturbate to this for months. I know I am.”

Invigorated, Alex continued, moving one hand back around and then slipping a finger into Lindsey’s pussy. She moaned and continued sucking him off, putting her glorious tongue to use. He groaned with her as he felt her grasp his balls gently and start to massage them. Her skin was hot. Inside, she felt different than any other woman he’d been with. It was difficult to describe. She was slicker inside, and incredibly hot, but there was something else that he couldn’t really put into words, or even thoughts.

One thing that he did notice, however, was the fact that her pussy seemed to respond to his finger, tightening around it.

Holy shit, it was going to feel amazing to fuck her.

He was close to coming now. Her mouth was just too much, and the thrill of sixty-nining with a goddamned succubus was only amplifying the pleasure. He kept going, wondering if he could get her off first, or if it didn’t work like that.

Within a few seconds, he realized it didn’t matter, because he was coming no matter how hard he tried to hold it back.

Alex cried out as the orgasm hit him hard.

He cried out as a hard shot of sexual gratification hit him and his dick jerked violently inside of Lindsey’s sucking mouth. She moaned loudly and, as his finger was still inside of her and he was still pleasuring her, he felt her vaginal muscles constrict tightly around it. He expected there to be a spray of sex juices, but none came, although he could feel her getting wetter inside. Alex felt the bliss roll through him in pink waves, expanding outwards from his core, filling him. He emptied his cock into Lindsey’s mouth and she sucked out everything he had, moaning the entire time. If she was feeling what he was feeling, she must be in fucking heaven right now.

When he finished, and the flow of his seed finally ceased, Alex took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Lindsey rolled off of him, onto her back.

“Wow,” she murmured. “You’ve got great orgasms.”

“That’s cause you did a really good job, and you are so fucking hot,” he replied. That orgasm had felt more intense than usual, which he felt like he’d been thinking a lot lately. But, he supposed, when you were fucking paranormal women, it tended to be intense. Especially after basically an (albeit very short) sexual history of few and more typical sexual encounters with non-paranormals. Lindsey got up and moved into the bathroom, rinsing her mouth out. He realized that he was still really hard. Lindsey returned a few seconds later.

“Someone still needs their cock satisfied,” she said as she climbed back onto the bed.

“Gee, I wonder who that could be,” Brianna replied, then laughed.

“How do you want to fuck me?” Lindsey asked.

“On your back, at first,” he replied.

“Oh. At first. All right,” she said, and they switched places. She got onto her back, spreading her long legs. He took a moment to admire her, running his hands up and down her smooth pink skin, before moving lower, to her polished black hooves.

“You are so amazing,” Lindsey said softly.

“What? Why?” he asked, looking up at her.

“You just...you’re actually really okay with me like this, in this form. This doesn’t freak you out at all,” she said.

“No, you don’t. I think you’re beautiful,” he replied.

“And that’s amazing. And very rare.”

“She’s right,” Brianna said.

“I still think that’s weird,” he muttered, and then climbed onto her, settling atop her and down in between her thick thighs. “You ready?”

“I’m always ready to fuck. I’m a succubus,” she replied with a sultry grin.

She had a point. He slipped his cock inside of her, and the pleasure returned full force, hitting him like a hammer.

“Oh, my fucking God,” he moaned as he pushed his way into her. She was insanely tight, yet so slick and so hot, he had no trouble getting into her. She had this perfect combination of absurd tightness yet no resistance, and as he began thrusting into her, he felt her vaginal muscles start to move and constrict, massaging his dick. “You are...that is amazing,” he groaned.

“Yes, it is,” she whispered, staring up at him, her eyes wide. “Fuck, I haven’t had someone enjoy sex with me this much in awhile.”

She moaned loudly at about the same time he did as another wave of rapturous ecstasy hit him. He kissed her deeply, wrapping his arms around her, and she hugged him back, bringing her legs up into the air and crying out as he drove deep and hard into her.

“Goddamn, this is hot!” Brianna said.

He’d almost forgotten she was watching. And filming. He actually was kind of interested to see how it looked, him fucking Lindsey’s brains out. She was crying out in impassioned pleasure in between kisses.

“Fuck, yes! Give it to me! Fucking give it to me hard!” Lindsey cried.

“Fuck her like a slut, Alex,” Brianna said. She was right next to the bed now.

“Yes! Fuck me!” Lindsey screamed.

She wrapped her legs around him as he thrust wildly into her, staring down at her. Alex felt completely locked in with her, staring into her eyes, kissing her several times. He could feel her perfect, soft, voluptuous body moving against his.

“Is he going to come soon, Lindsey?” Brianna asked.

“Mmm...yes, he’s going to come very soon,” Lindsey replied.

“Do it, Alex. Come inside of her. Make my man come hard, Lindsey.”

“Gladly.”

Alex groaned louder as the quality of her vaginal muscles changed. The massaging sensation increased, and it almost felt like she was somehow moving the muscles in waves while simultaneously twisting around just the head of his dick.

“Oh, my fucking fuck, Lindsey! How are you doing that?!” he cried as the pleasure amped up a good tenfold.

He barely lasted another five seconds before his back arched and he screamed in rapturous release as his cock began furiously spurting out his seed, pumping her pussy full of it. “Oh, fuck, Lindsey! Oh, my fucking God, yes! Ah, FUCK YES!”

He didn’t know how long he came inside of her, only that it was the most intense climax he’d had in a long time. Probably the most powerful one since he’d very first gone bareback with Brianna. It felt like an eruption, an explosion out of time, like he was completely lost in it, thrown into a churning ocean of absolute release and pure, raw, unfiltered pleasure.

Distantly, he thought he could hear himself moaning and crying out.

And Lindsey was shrieking loudly as well.

Finally, after what felt like quite a long time, he came back to his senses, and found himself gasping for breath, covered in sweat, laying against Lindsey, who seemed a bit more in control of herself.

“Succubus pussy is the best pussy,” she said, a little smug.

“Well, can’t argue that point,” Brianna replied.

He glanced slowly over. She was sitting on the bed now, still holding her phone. She moved a bit closer. “So how was that, babe? How was your first succubus fuck?”

“No words. Can’t think,” he managed, and laid his head down on the pillow. He legitimately felt like he was about to just pass out from exhaustion.

That orgasm had drained him in more ways than one.

“Well, hope you’re happy, Aurora,” he heard her say.

“I’m sure she will be,” Lindsey murmured. She was gently stroking his sweat-soaked back. Alex kept trying to center himself.

“Fuck,” he whispered.

“You okay, babe?” Brianna asked with a small laugh.

“Not sure yet. That was intense,” he replied. He rolled off of Lindsey, carefully pulling out of her, and she sat up.

“Yes, it was. That was one of the more powerful orgasms I’ve experienced,” she said. “I can really see why my kind are always on the lookout for cute, young, inexperienced guys and girls.”

“He’s not inexperienced anymore,” Brianna murmured.

“Not after hooking up with you,” he agreed.

“Yeah, but you clearly still have that fresh-faced, youthful enthusiasm to you. I can tell. I can feel it,” Lindsey said.

“That’s true. I need a shower. If I can get up.”

It took a bit, but eventually he got up and got into the shower with Lindsey. Brianna stripped naked and joined them.

“So...how about that threesome?” Brianna asked.

“I’m ready for some more sex,” Lindsey replied immediately.

Alex sighed. “I really want to, but I genuinely am not sure if I’ll be able to get it up again today. I will certainly try, but that session just fucking drained me.”

“Ooh...yeah, sorry about that. Sex with a succubus can be pretty draining, especially with more inexperienced ones. Like myself. I’m still kind of getting my abilities figured out.”

“What abilities specifically?” Alex asked.

“We kind of subsist on, well, on a few things, but one of them is sexual energy. Obviously. We can’t take energy from you, but we do try to modulate how much energy we take from what is given. And if you’re inexperienced and young, you tend to give a lot. It’s not really a conscious decision on your part. I tried not to take too much.”

Alex felt a small chill. “Has anyone ever, like...died from that?”

“No, not as far as I know,” Lindsey replied quickly. “I’m sorry, I’m not trying to freak you out or anything. You’ll be fine, just really tired. People don’t die, I don’t think, but humans straight up passing out after fucking a succubus for the first time isn’t unheard of.”

“Oh, okay,” he said, calming down. Another wave of tiredness swept over him and he yawned. “Jeez, it’s not even late afternoon yet.”

“Sorry,” Lindsey whispered, looking actually guilty.

“It’s fine. Totally worth it. And I don’t mind just watching you two fuck.”

“You could film us,” Brianna suggested.

“Yes, I would love to do that,” he said.

…

As it turned out, Alex wasn’t completely right.

After the shower, he filmed Brianna and Lindsey having some amazingly hot sex. Halfway through, he found himself with an erection. After making out and swapping oral, Brianna pulled out a strap-on she’d apparently secreted away in one of her bags for just such an occasion and let herself get fucked hard from behind by Lindsey. That’s when she’d noticed his hard-on. She’d offered to blow him, and he had the fantastically awesome experience of sitting with his back to the pillows, Brianna on her hands and knees before him, sucking his cock, while getting slammed hard from behind by Lindsay, who’s huge tits bounced with each thrust.

It made for some stunningly hot porn.

He’d blown a huge load in Brianna’s mouth, and she’d sucked him dry and swallowed, then had experienced her own huge orgasm, which in turn lit off a powerful climax for Lindsey. After that, Lindsey had said she had to go, but had exchanged numbers with them.

“Please hit me up sometime,” she’d said.

Alex had considered that, wondering if they’d have time. But what was his timeline like? Why did he have to leave after a week? After two? Brianna had told him more than once that she’d be thrilled to stay longer.

And the longer he stayed, the more he agreed.

So, he’d accepted it, and promised to call her and hook up sometime in the future, and then, unable fight his exhaustion any longer, he’d fallen into a nap. He’d woken up some strange time later after a few hours and, feeling bad that they kept just hanging around the hotel when they were supposed to be on vacation, he’d asked if she had wanted to return to the ambient music festival. Brianna seemed somewhere between liking that idea and being a little concerned that he wouldn’t be up to it.

But in the end, they’d gone back, and it had been pretty fun.

Although after a few hours, he’d accidentally dozed off on one of the couches next to Brianna. They hadn’t been able to find Aurora again. After falling asleep again, he’d woken up to Brianna carrying him back to her car, which they’d taken to get here.

“What happened?”

“You fell asleep, handsome. It’s okay. I’m taking you back to the hotel.”

“I can walk...”

“You’re too tired, honey. Relax.”

Since he didn’t have the energy to argue further, he’d given in and fallen back asleep.

He woke up one more time, as she’d been laying him on their bed in the hotel room and had apologized.

She’d kissed him and brushed a hand affectionately through his hair. “Alex, it’s fine. You’re dead tired. Now sleep, honey.”

And he’d slept.

CHAPTER SEVEN

“Oh, my fucking God, Alex...fuck! Yes! Keep going!”

Alex pushed himself up and looked down at Brianna as he fucked her hard. He’d woken up with a fucking awful hard-on, nearly insane with lust. Brianna was right there next to him in bed and had been very willing to accommodate him.

She looked like a sex angel below him, her skin flushed and glistening with sweat, her huge breasts bouncing in time with his manic thrusting. This was going to be a fast quickie and he was just beginning to wonder about how he was going to get her off when she raised her legs up and began screaming.

And oh, how wonderful it was to come with her.

He’d never been able to sync orgasms before he met Brianna. And what a fucking orgasm it was. It blasted away the last of any lingering sleepiness he’d been feeling as he came along with Brianna, both of them writhing and crying out in pleasure. By the time they were both finished, he was fully awake.

A moment later, they got out of bed and into the shower.

“So, uh...what the fuck happened yesterday?” he asked. “Cause I honestly don’t remember all that much after I fucked Lindsey.”

“Not a lot,” Brianna replied. “She explained it, but basically, sex with a succubus can drain you. And you and her were so fucking into it that she really goddamned drained you. I’ve got it on tape. After that, we showered, then Lindsey and I fucked, and you filmed it.”

“I’ve got to watch that,” he murmured.

“It was hot. I also sucked your dick while we were fucking.”

“Thanks.”

She laughed. “You’re welcome, babe. Anyway, after that you were dead tired, but you felt bad about being so tired and wanted to go back to the festival with me, so we went there for a few hours. Eventually, you just couldn’t stay awake. You passed out and I brought you back to the hotel, where you slept through the night. And then you woke up and fucked my brains out.”

“I was really horny,” he said.

“So was I. That was a great fuck session.”

“What time is it?” he asked.

“A little past noon.”

“Shit, I slept for...”

“Close to fifteen hours.”

“Fuck! I’m going to spend half this goddamned vacation sleeping.”

“Don’t worry, babe. I’m having fun. I am, however, starving. Something I neglected to mention: there’s an open-air restaurant on the roof of this place. Wanna eat there?”

“That sounds great,” he replied.

“Perfect! Let’s go.”

They finished their shower, dried, and dressed, then headed to the elevator and rode it up. On the roof, Alex found sunshine, a pleasant day, and a small but very nice restaurant. They put in their orders, him getting steak and eggs, and Brianna getting that as well, in addition to bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and hashbrowns.

“What do we do today?” Alex asked as they took a seat near the edge of the roof. The view out over the city was simply stunning. He could see it spreading away from them for miles and miles, and the ocean beyond that, going much further.

“I don’t know. What do you feel like doing?” Brianna replied.

“I kind of want to go back to the festival for a bit,” Alex said.

“That sounds like fun, given that the two times we went there we didn’t really have much of a chance to enjoy it.” She laughed. “And you made a new friend. Lindsey really likes you.”

“Does she? I kind of thought so, but then again, she is a succubus...”

“No, babe. She likes you. Like, a lot. The fact that she asked you to do her in her natural form, and you agreed, is a very big deal. It meant a lot to her. You found a friend in Lindsey.”

“So, I should try to see her again?” he asked.

“Fuck yeah, you should! You got her number. Alex, think about that for a second: you hooked up with a succubus and got her to actually really like you. And then your girlfriend fucked her, and the next time I get the two of you in a room together, it’s going to be a full-on threesome.”

“Speaking of that, I was wondering about something. How long do we have left at this hotel?” he asked.

“Uh, I think today and tomorrow? We have to be out by the day after tomorrow. Why?”

“You mentioned staying longer...”

“Yeah? You thinking about it? Cause we could totally stay longer.”

“I’m still thinking about it-” he began, then Brianna’s cellphone rang.

“Hold on,” she murmured, checking. “It’s Aurora.” She answered, and he listened to her side of the conversation. “Hey...yeah...yes, Aurora, I filmed it. I’ll show you later...yeah, it was awesome...oh shit, today? And you wanna-oh my...” She looked up at him suddenly and smiled big. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure we can make that happen...so you’re sure that’s what Sadie wants?” She paused, listened, then laughed, still staring at him.

He started to get a little nervous.

“Okay, I’ll talk with him about it. I’d probably say count on it. Okay, later.”

She hung up.

“So, what was that about?” he asked.

“I have options for you, about what we can do today, dear,” Brianna replied, grinning like she had some huge secret she was getting ready to reveal.

“And those are?”

“We could either go to the ambient music festival...or, you could go to a bachelorette party and have sex with the bride-to-be, who is a hot witch. And there will probably be other witches there, one of whom is a fucking hot married, middle-aged woman, who will also want to fuck you.”

He stared back at her for several long seconds. “I think I’m having a stroke,” he replied finally.

She laughed loudly. “What? Why?”

“There’s no possible way you could have said what I think you just said.”

“I did, Alex. Would you like to do this?”

He began speaking before his brain finished processing the question. “Yes. Fuck yes. Please yes. Take me there immediately.”

Brianna giggled. “You’re such a cutie,” she said. “Okay, finish eating, then we need to go take another shower. We need to be nice and clean for the party. I’ll explain a little more about the whole thing on the way there.”

…

“So, what, precisely, is all this?” Alex asked as they drove through the city.

Brianna still had that smirk on her face. “Okay, so, there’s a friend of ours: Sadie. She’s a witch. She was a lot like Aurora: major party girl through her late teens all the way up through her like early forties. I thought that girl would never stop. But she did. Eventually, she settled down. When she got married about fifteen years ago, when she was like...thirty two, I think, she had her bachelorette party, and, being that she was in an open relationship, and she’s never been in anything but an open relationship, she got fucked. But, doing that, she kind of stared this tradition. A friend of hers had started dating a cute young human guy around that time, and Sadie just had to have him as soon as she saw him. Soooo, they brought him by, and her and her friends all took turns fucking him. After that, whenever another friend in the circle got married, that was what we did.”

“So.. wait, you’re bring me as, like...a gift?” he asked.

“Yes. Honestly, it’s a gift for both of you. Okay, all of us. I mean, you think so, right?” she replied.

“Yeah, definitely. Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate this. Like...a fuck-ton. This is fantastically amazing. It’s just...I’m trying to wrap my head around it.”

“I understand.”

“How many people are going to be there?” he murmured.

“As far as I know, just me, Aurora, Sadie, the bride-to-be, her name is Lilith, and then one of their friends, Emma, another witch. She’s the only one I’m not sure if you’ll be sleeping with. Sadie already said, according to Aurora, that she ‘simply had to have you inside of her’.”

“Wow.”

“Yeah.”

“What’s she like?”

“Sadie? I mean, she is more laid back now...she still throws parties at her house. They can get pretty rowdy, and from what I remember, they tend to become orgies at one point or another, but they’re a lot more chill than her crazier days. She’s very, um, straightforward. She’s a little scary, honestly.”

“Aren’t you older than her? Both you and Aurora?”

“Yeah, but only biologically. She’s like...I don’t know, she’s got that serious middle-aged thing going on, you know? She’s really certain of herself. But she’s also a lot of fun. She used to teach magic at a local university, and for awhile had her own shop, like Ash. But, she quit teaching a few years ago and then sold her shop at some point, before opening up a bookstore. That’s what she does now. As for the others? I can’t say. I don’t know Emma too well at all, and I’ve never met the bride-to-be. At least I don’t think so. I could have, I guess. But try to relax. It will all be very chill. Just you and five women, one of which is your girlfriend. It’ll be very relaxing.”

“Okay,” he said, but he wasn’t entirely convinced.

Well, he believed her, but he was more anxious than anything else. Really, he was concerned about fucking Sadie and Lilith. Fucking another man’s fiancé before the wedding certainly sounded like a fantasy come true, but could also cause some problems…

“Alex...” Brianna said.

“What?” he asked.

“I can hear your thoughts. Please try not to worry. Like, everyone here is legit in an open relationship. I mean, as far as I know. I at least know for a solid fact that Sadie is, and I mean, the whole reason you’re coming is to fuck Lilith, so obviously she is. But it’ll be okay. All right?”

“Okay,” he replied. “Don’t worry, I’m looking forward to this.”

“Good. So am I.”

They drove on.

…

Sadie had a nice house.

They parked in her driveway, which was big enough to accommodate about six cars. Alex felt that intimidation factor slipping back into his stomach as they got out of the car. The house looked recently made, at least within the last decade, and stood three stories tall. The yard was very well-maintained and big. There were three other cars in the driveway and the only one he recognized was Aurora’s.

“Nervous?” Brianna asked.

“Obviously,” he replied.

“You’ll be fine. This is going to be fun.”

“That’s what I’m hoping,” he said.

They walked up the stone path and came onto the front porch. Brianna rang the doorbell and a moment later, the front door opened. And he was looking at the woman named Sadie. He had to be, she had that air of authority and maturity that Brianna had described. She was beautiful. She wasn’t wearing much, just a black, lacy bra that was tied together in the middle instead of clipped in the back, and a very, very short skirt. Otherwise, she had nothing on. Her black hair was down, framing her face, and her blue eyes sparkled with amused guile.

“Brianna, I’m so glad you made it,” she said, giving her a long hug and a kiss on the mouth.

“Hello, Sadie. I missed you,” Brianna replied.

“I missed you, too...now,” she said, turning to Alex, “you must be Alex. Aurora told me a little about you, but not much. She was right though: you are fucking cute.”

“I...uh, thanks,” he replied.

“Come inside and meet the others. They’re going to be very excited to see you,” Sadie said, turning and grabbing a glass of wine from a nearby table, then leading them deeper into the house. They closed the door and followed her.

It was clearly a very nice house.

Very detailed paintings hung on the wall, the furniture all looked polished and clean and new. Alex kept expecting to hear a lot of voices talking quietly across the house, and although he did hear some of that, it was just a few voices. The rooms they passed, a kitchen, a dining room, a TV room, a library, were all empty. They eventually came to what seemed to be a lounge, where they found three women talking and laughing. The only one among them he recognized was Aurora. They were sitting together on a very large L shaped couch. The room was very comfortable, one wall dominated by a built-in bookshelf, another held an intricately designed fireplace.

“First of all, introductions are in order,” Sadie said. Her manner seemed to indicate that she very much enjoyed playing hostess. “Since you two already know Aurora, we can skip her.”

“Gee thanks, Sadie,” Aurora shot back.

Sadie just smiled and ignored her. “Girls, this is Brianna and Alex. Brianna is an old werewolf friend of mine and Alex is her human boyfriend.”

“Bitch, who are you calling old?” Brianna asked.

“You’re older than I am, and I’m not exactly young,” Sadie replied.

“Fair enough.”

“Now, these two beautiful women right here are very good friends of mine. This is Lilith. She’s the reason we’re all here. She’s finally getting ready to exchange vows,” Sadie said.

“Hello,” Lilith said.

She looked very excited and seemed to be having a hard time sitting still. She was extremely beautiful, a woman with a healthy bronze glow and bright blonde hair. She was the type of woman he’d probably call more traditionally attractive, in that she was a lot like the kind of girls you saw on the covers of magazines. He had nothing against that or her, it was just that the look was everywhere, and he’d always honestly been more attracted to more unique looking women. Something about Lilith’s face gave her that beauty, something about her brown eyes and her cheeks stood out in a good way, at least to him.

“Hi,” he replied awkwardly.

She wore a simple black dress that was very short and very revealing, her perfectly tanned breasts pressed together and showcased in it, and when she sat back and shifted her legs, he saw that she was in fact wearing nothing at all under the dress.

“And this is Emma,” Sadie said.

Sadie and Lilith were definitely beautiful. There was no question about that, anyone could see it. But Emma…

This gorgeous, angelic woman shot straight past his thoughts and punched him right in the gut. It was like getting a mainline hit of raw, uncut lust into his heart and he found it difficult to look away from her.

She was distractingly attractive.

She also wore a dress, though it was a bit larger and less revealing. She had smooth, very pale skin that had a healthy glow to it. She was short, maybe a few inches over five feet. Her hair was as red as freshly spilled blood and she wore it down, framing her face. Her eyes were brilliantly blue and almost seemed lit from within. Alex also knew that although he was definitely deeply attracted to her, what really pushed him over the edge was the one thing that was different about her than the other woman, than all the women he’d ever been with.

She was pregnant.

Good fucking lord, she was pregnant and so, so hot!

Please, he thought as they were introduced, please let her be into me.

There was a look on her face as they were introduced, a look that seemed to convey both interest and reluctance. Well, that wasn’t a good sign. But if she wasn’t interested, then he wasn’t going to press the issue at all.

“Okay, introductions are out of the way. Let’s sit and get to know each other a bit. Brianna, Alex, why don’t you tell us how you came to date?” Sadie suggested.

They sat and spun the story. Well, Brianna really did, Alex just chimed in when it seemed like he had something worth adding. He kept finding his gaze drawn to Emma, who returned it more often than not with a shy smile. Glancing at her ring finger, he saw that she was married. When they were done telling their story, Sadie finished off her glass of wine and sat up. Setting it down on the table, she fixed him with a firm stare.

“So, I believe it’s time to get things rolling. If by some impossibly tiny chance Brianna didn’t fill you in, you are here as a gift. Should you choose, which I imagine you will, you will be having sex with Lilith. And I fully intend to partake of your cock myself, you young cutie. Now, I don’t know how Emma feels about this...”

Sadie glanced over. Emma gave her a semi-nervous smile. “I’m still thinking about it,” she replied.

“That’s okay, love, take all the time you need. No pressure.”

“Thanks,” she murmured.

“So, unless there are any objections...how about we get started?”

“I do have a question,” Alex said quickly.

“Yes?” Sadie replied.

“I just want to be perfectly clear that your significant others are completely aware of and okay with the fact that this is happening, that you are having sex with me.”

“My husband is at an elf brothel for the night,” Sadie said. “He knows.”

“Yes, my husband-to-be is having his bachelor party tonight. He’s going to be fucking a friend of ours and some werewolf hookers. We’re cool,” Lilith replied.

Alex looked at Emma. She hadn’t actually said whether or not she was going to fuck him, but she met his eyes. “My husband knows I’m here,” she replied.

He thought that was a little evasive, but...fuck, he was too turned on to delay any further. “Okay, let’s go,” he said.

“Come on, we’ve got the perfect place for this. I hope you’re okay with fucking with an audience, because all of us are going to want to watch this,” Sadie said, taking his hand and leading him elsewhere in the house.

“I’m okay with it, if this is the audience,” he replied.

“Excellent.”

The others followed. She led them down a hallway and through a door at its end, which led down into her basement. It was fully finished and furnished, the carpet thick and soft. Everything seemed to be done up in reds and pinks. As he came to stand at the foot of the stairs, Alex found himself facing a huge heart-shaped bed with plush red couches and chairs to either side. This definitely looked like a place to fuck for an audience.

“Come on,” Lilith said, giggling and taking his hand, “let’s go! I’m so fucking horny.”

He let her pull him across the basement and over to the bed. As soon as they got there she immediately wrapped him in a hug and began kissing him passionately. He could taste some sort of sweet wine on her breath. She moaned softly as she slipped her tongue into his mouth. She ran her hands up and down his back as they made out. She kept breaking the kiss to let out small moans and laughs.

“You seem very thrilled about this,” he said.

“I am,” she replied, staring at him. “I’ve really been looking forward to this. I haven’t done any sex stuff for about three days now.”

“Seriously?” Alex asked as Brianna asked about the same time.

“Yeah, it wasn’t easy. But I wanted to be like insanely horny for this encounter. It’ll make it like way more memorable.” She stepped back from him and reached down, then pulled her dress up and off, freeing her breasts and showing him her nude body. She was in very good shape and he could see some definition in her arms and legs.

“What about you?” she asked, chewing on her lower lip. “You excited?”

“Do you even need to ask? I can see his hard-on from here,” Sadie said.

Brianna giggled. He glanced over and saw that she had shed most of her clothes, wearing only a pair of panties now, and had a glass of red wine in her hand. She blew him a kiss when their eyes met. “I guess that’s a dumb question,” Lilith agreed. “Now come on! Get naked!”

She climbed onto the bed, showing off her wonderfully fit ass. He could see the slit of her pussy and it was already glistening. As he quickly shed his clothing, Alex felt a little bad. She’d not had sex for three entire days just for him? He imagined that she was a very sexual person and that was probably quite a sacrifice, especially if she was engaged and friends with people like Sadie and Aurora. He was going to have to do a really good job and make sure that she felt like it had been worth it. With this in mind, he finished getting naked and climbed quickly into bed with her. He was glad that Brianna had made him take that extended shower.

As soon as he got close enough to her on the large, heart-shaped bed, she grabbed him and pulled him to her, resuming their kissing. As he twined tongues with her, he reached down in between her thighs and she quickly and eagerly parted them for him. Finding her clit with his fingertip, he began to massage it gently.

She let out a small whine of pleasure. “Oh, fuck! Keep going!” she cried.

“I just got started,” he murmured, kissing her again.

“I know, I just-just...oh, fuck yes! YESYESYES!” she shrieked suddenly. “Don’t you fucking stop rubbing!”

He didn’t, although he was surprised. She’d barely lasted ten seconds. Not that he was really complaining. But he guessed he’d be pretty ready to pop off right away if he’d been horny for three days straight, constantly thinking about sex, knowing that he was going to get laid in the near future and not even being able to jack off.

He kissed and held her, pleasuring her as she orgasmed, moaning and panting and screaming in desperate pleasure. When she was finished, she let out her breath with a gasp and fell back against the bed.

“Fuck me, that was good!” she whispered.

“Not yet,” Alex replied.

“What?” she asked, looking at him. Her cheeks were flushed now. “We can start fucking now if you want.”

“Not yet,” he repeated, then kissed her and got up.

“Oh my,” she said as he settled down between her legs, which were wet now. She’d made a bit of a mess, although interestingly the red blanket was already drying up. He kept watching it, confused, wondering if he was seeing it right.

“It’s magic, darling,” Sadie said. He glanced over at her. “Rapid drying. It seemed like a good spell for such a bed.”

“Definitely,” he agreed, and finished settling into place between Lilith’s firm thighs.

“You brought a really good gift,” Lilith said to Brianna. “He is fantastic, I can already tell.”

“He is amazing,” Brianna agreed.

Lilith began to say something else, but it became a loud moan as he touched the tip of his tongue to her clit and began to massage it gently.

“Oh, yes!” she cried.

He licked faster and slipped a finger into her. She moaned even louder, writhing around as he pressed up into her. He listened to her cry out almost incoherently with desire as he pleasured her more, going harder with his tongue, licking faster, fingering her more intensely. Alex really wanted to give her an extremely good time, especially given that this was her bachelorette party and even if he didn’t fully understand why they’d brought him here, he fully intended to do a good job. He had this amazing opportunity, no way he was wasting it.

In the end, he kept eating her out and fingering her until she had two more orgasms. By the time he was finished after that second climax, his jaw hurt, and his tongue was sore. But it had been more than worth it. He got up off the bed and slipped into a nearby bathroom, washed up, then came back to her.

“Wow,” she murmured as he laid down beside her, “that was really wonderful. You are definitely a keeper.”

“Yeah, he is,” Brianna murmured.

“Thanks,” he replied. “You feel like having sex now?” he asked.

She giggled. “Yeah, I guess you’re horny as fuck after all that. I can suck you off if you want...” she said.

“I’m okay with sex,” he replied.

She opened her legs again. “Then let’s do it.”

“Oh, thank you,” he said as he eagerly got on top of her. Settling in between her fit, firm thighs, he laid the head of his cock at the very wet entrance of her smooth pussy and slipped inside of her. She moaned loudly as he entered her.

It was like experiencing a place of pure bliss as he buried himself within her. He stared down at her as they finished making all the little adjustments that needed to be made so that they were both in the best positions for fucking, and she stared up at him with her wide and happy eyes. He began making love to her, sliding in and out of her perfect witch pussy, engulfed in the pleasure of their sex and mutual gratification.

She was extremely wet and wonderfully tight.

“This is exactly what I wanted,” she moaned loudly, her arms wrapped around him, gripping his shoulders from the back as she pressed against him with her hips. “Just a good goddamned oral session and a hard fuck afterwards-yes!” she cried as he pushed deep and hard into her.

He couldn’t think of anything to say because he was currently incoherent with pleasure. Her pussy felt amazing! It was so fucking good. It was like an already great drug that had been laced with something to make it way more powerful. Fucking an extremely attractive, paranormal, and brand-new woman was potent enough.

But he had to admit that the fact that he was fucking a bride-to-be at her bachelorette party was what made this intoxicating.

It felt weird but definitely good to be doing this in front of an audience. Well, this audience. He was still intimidated by...well, varying degrees, all of the women in this room, but it wasn’t such a bad feeling any longer. If anything, it was kind of invigorating. He kept going, making passionate love to Lilith, kissing her and making out with her, twisting tongues and sharing saliva, for awhile longer. He didn’t know how long, maybe ten minutes, but that was about as long as he could make it. That pussy was just too fucking good.

“I’m gonna come soon,” he managed, “do you want me to pull out?”

She grinned and answered by wrapping her legs around him. “You aren’t pulling out, Alex,” she replied.

“Okay then,” he replied, and kissed her hard on the mouth.

Wrapping his arms around her, he fucked her harder and faster, making her cry out, her voice muffled by their kiss, and then it happened.

Within a few more seconds, he was coming into her.

“Oh fuck! Oh...Lilith!” he moaned.

“That’s it,” she groaned, holding him close to her, “that’s it, fucking come in me. Fuck, he’s coming so much Brianna. I can feel that...”

“He does come a lot,” Brianna replied.

All of this was little more than background static to Alex in that moment because he was completely lost in the sea of bliss. He could feel his dick jerking hard, held firmly within Lilith’s tight pussy, emptying itself in hard, powerful contractions. The pleasure was phenomenal, filling him, consuming him.

When he had finished, he opened his eyes and tried to catch his breath. “So, uh, was that worth the wait?” he asked.

Lilith laughed loudly. “Yes, it was. It really was. Although I’m not done yet. You’ve got a long day and night ahead of you. But...the others will want a turn first, which is fair. If you don’t mind, I need a shower.”

“Okay,” he replied, pulling out of her and rolling over onto his back. “I think I’ll join you.”

“No, you won’t,” Sadie said.

He looked down the length of his body to the foot of the bed, where Sadie stood nude and fantastically beautiful, her hands on her hips, staring intently at him. She raised one hand and pointed in front of her. “Here, now, young man.”

“Yes ma’am,” he replied, and scooted down the bed until he had his feet over its edge and planted them on the carpet.

“Now,” Sadie said as she climbed onto him, resting on her knees as she straddled him and took his cock, which was still kind of hard, into her grasp, “you just lay there and let me fuck you.”

“Yes ma’am,” he repeated.

She smirked and slipped him inside of her, and he immediately grew completely hard again. “Good boy,” she murmured, then leaned forward and rested her hands on either side of him, staring down at him as she began to ride him with those big hips of hers. “Mmm...there we go,” she whispered as she began riding him, bouncing on his cock and fucking herself with it. He reached up and cupped her large breasts in his hands.

“So, you’ve had soon-to-be-married pussy,” Sadie said, grinning confidently down at him as she rode him, “how’s married pussy?”

“So, so fucking good,” he groaned in reply.

Being inside of her was wonderful, and it was about as good as it had been with Lilith, though in a different way. Hell, maybe it was a little better. It was really hard to tell. It didn’t really matter though: it all felt fucking amazing.

“All right, Alex, when you’re getting ready to come, tell me. I want you to come all over my face,” she said.

“I can definitely do that,” he replied.

She laughed. “I figured.”

He let go of her breasts and settled his hands on her broad, powerful hips. He found that his eyes kept getting drawn over to her left hand, to the ring on her finger. He was fucking a married woman. Alex had a lot of fantasies, a lot of things he thought about doing, wanted to do, and he’d figured that most of them he wouldn’t get to. But even with all that had happened, he hadn’t really thought that something like this was on the table.

What else was waiting for him in the future?

She rode him, a sexy goddess of lust and desire, until she had brought him to the edge of orgasm. “Okay! Gonna go!” he cried.

Sadie didn’t miss a beat. She got off of him and down onto her knees at the foot of the bed in one smooth motion. Gripping his cock, she began jacking him off. He groaned loudly as he propped himself up on his elbows to watch her work, and fuck if she didn’t look like a veteran porn star as she worked his dick furiously, crouched a little low, aiming his cock at her face. The sight alone was enough to put him over the edge and he started coming. He shot his load all over her face as she kept jerking him off.

His seed came out in spurts, spraying onto her cheeks and closed eyes, across her nose and onto her lips. She moaned softly throughout the whole thing, pleasuring him until she had pumped him dry, then she opened her mouth and put his dick in. She pressed her lips together and sucked as she pulled it slowly back out.

“Fuuuuck,” he groaned.

The pleasure spiked one more time before it was over, and she let go of his dick and stood up. “Be right back,” she said.

He fell back onto the bed. Brianna came over and sat down beside him. “Very nice, dear,” she said. “You’ve been performing excellently.”

“Have I? It’s kind of hard to tell,” he murmured.

“Oh bullshit, I heard the sounds they were making,” Aurora said, sitting down at his other side.

“Thanks,” he replied. “Thanks for bringing me, too.”

“You’re welcome babe. Now how about you take a shower? She’s got a really big shower down here,” Brianna said.

“That sounds good,” he replied.

As he stood up, Aurora looked over at Emma, who was still sitting on the couch, watching them. “What about you, Emma? Shower?”

“I...I guess I could,” she replied.

Alex thought she still sounded reluctant and uncertain, but when he looked at her, she did have that look he’d been getting familiar with: that I want to fuck look. Was she nervous about getting naked when she was pregnant? He hoped not, he had no doubt she had a fantastic body, and even if she didn’t, it wasn’t like he’d say anything. He still thought she was beautiful. They got up and headed into the bathroom, where they found Sadie finishing up washing her face off. Lilith was still in the shower. “Oh, so we’re doing a shower then?” Sadie asked.

“Figured it’d be a good idea,” Brianna replied.

“Is there enough room for everyone?” Alex asked, uncertain of the shower’s size. It certainly looked big, but there were six of them…

“I’ll hang out here,” Aurora said.

“Yeah, we got scrubbed clean beforehand. Me and Aurora will polish off this bottle of wine,” Brianna said.

“Okay, then. You coming Emma?” Sadie asked.

“Yeah,” Emma replied, sounding a little more confident now.

“Good.”

Sadie opened up the sliding glass door and stepped in. “You’re getting some company, Lilith,” she said.

“I love company,” Lilith replied.

Alex watched as Emma began taking off her dress, though she hesitated when she saw him looking. “Sorry,” he said, suddenly embarrassed. It was just that he’d gotten used to watching the women he hung around having sex with get naked.

“No, it’s okay. I’m just a little...the pregnancy made me gain some weight and I’m still, you know, adjusting. And I guess it’s only fair, given how naked you are,” she said with a grin.

“Girl, you look fucking fine,” Brianna said.

“Yep,” Aurora agreed.

She hesitated a few seconds longer, then finished taking her dress off. Beneath, all she had on was a pair of black panties, which stood out in stark contrast to her pale, pale skin. And oh wow, did he ever like what he saw as she tossed the dress aside, then took off her panties. She was a vision of beauty.

She had that sexy as fuck pregnant body: the very thick thighs, the nice, well-padded ass that he could see in the mirror behind her, the big, wonderful breasts. All of it seemed just a little unnatural, like it was too big for her frame, which was interesting, because it was actually very natural. It was like all the sexiest parts of her had swelled.

“Goddamn, Emma,” Aurora murmured, “what the fuck are you worried about!?”

“Seriously,” Brianna said softly, staring at her with naked lust. “That is just...oh my God, I want to do so many filthy things to you, Emma. And from the look on Alex’s face, I get the feeling you could have him doing just about whatever the fuck you wanted to, for even the possibility of sex with you,” she added.

“She’s not wrong,” Alex said, still staring at her.

She might be the hottest woman he’d seen naked so far, and there was no way he was saying that out loud, especially not with Brianna there. He didn’t think she’d get too angry...probably...but it still wasn’t a nice thing to say.

But goddamn was that a fantastic body!

And her beautiful, pale face with that red hair!

“We should get in the shower,” she said, and she seemed a little bit more confident now.

Alex just nodded, and they got into the shower with Sadie and Lilith. It was, indeed, a big shower, though four seemed to be about as many as you could get in there and it was still comfortable. As they joined the other two witches, Sadie looked at Emma firmly, twisting her lips and crossing her arms. Emma looked back.

“What?” she asked.

“What’s this about you feeling insecure?” Sadie replied.

Alex could definitely see what Brianna meant about Sadie’s personality.

“It’s nothing. I guess the pregnancy’s just got me kind of emotional,” Emma replied.

Alex thought it made sense, but Sadie seemed unconvinced, and so did Lilith. “You might be able to fool a lot of other people, or they might not feel comfortable or brave enough to call you out on it, but something’s up, Emma. Something’s been up for a little while now.” She sighed. “I wasn’t going to do this here and now, but...I don’t know, something’s just up with you tonight and it’s got me worried. What’s wrong?”

It was quiet in the bathroom now except for the sound of the shower. Emma glanced briefly at Alex, and he shifted uncomfortably. “I can go, um, if you want. I’ll understand, since we just met and all and this sounds kind of heavy...”

“No, it’s okay,” Emma replied. “I actually feel kind of good with you around. I don’t know why. I don’t mind if you stay. Maybe explaining it to someone who has no idea about any of my situation might help a little.”

“I’m listening,” Alex said.

“Thank you. So...I’m married to a vampire. He’s hundreds of years older than me. We met about ten years ago. I was twenty-two, I had been in Thorne for about a year, working as a stripper part time and making potions part time. It was a lot of fun. It’s how I met Sadie and Lilith. Then the man who I ended up marrying hired me for a private show that turned into sex. I was very taken with him. I had never met anyone like him. He’s the CEO of a marketing company, among other things. He seemed quite taken with me, though not quite in the same way. He asked me on a real date and I said yes, we began seeing each other a bit more regularly. After about two months, he made a proposal to me,” she paused and snorted.

“I guess it was a marriage proposal, and another kind of proposal. Basically, he said that he wanted me to be his wife. He was very up front about the whole thing, that it was essentially like a business deal: he would take good care of me, I’d have access to a shitload of money, etcetera, etcetera. I just had to basically be his blushing bride for certain events, host house parties, shit like that. I mean, fairly easy stuff. I just had to look good and say the right things from time to time, and not get into trouble. Which is actually kind of easy in Thorne. There’s a lot you can do behind closed doors, not that I’m a particularly deviant person. Really, the biggest thing I had to commit to was being the mother of his child at some point in the future, which didn’t bother me. I’ve always liked the idea of motherhood. I didn’t precisely have much in the way of a larger plan for my life. So, I said yes. Three months later, we had a beautiful wedding.”

“We can at least agree on that,” Sadie murmured. “It was a beautiful and fun wedding.”

“If you can’t tell, Sadie has never liked my husband.”

“He’s a heartless, cruel bastard,” Sadie replied.

“Thank you, Sadie,” Emma replied, rolling her eyes, then she hesitated. “Although I guess since I’m going to be running through everything, you aren’t...totally wrong.”

“Did he hurt you?” Sadie asked suddenly, stepping closer. “Tell me the truth. Now.”

“No, Sadie. No, he didn’t do that,” Emma replied.

“He knows he wouldn’t survive it,” Sadie muttered. “We don’t fuck around.”

“Anyway,” Emma continued, “as I was saying...for awhile, it was good. Even though it was more of an arranged marriage than anything else, I had fun, and I liked him. We had a lot of good times together. Fun vacations, lots of great sex. Lots of fun threesomes with other beautiful ladies. Everything was pretty smooth up until about a year ago.”

“What happened then?” Alex asked.

“Well, we’d had an open relationship since the beginning, and I’d taken the occasional male lover from time to time, you know, off to the side. I just had this feeling like that’s how I should do it. Seek forgiveness, not permission, you know? I mean, not that I ever brought it up. I wasn’t cheating, and I knew he fucked all kinds of women overseas on business trips or whatever. I didn’t care. But mostly I was into girls, so it was never a problem. But then I got a little more into a relationship I was having on the side that began as a hookup. I never hid it from him, but I never told him about it either. It was weird, and he never told me about basically anyone he hooked up with. He’d just come home with women or end up gone the whole night. And then he ended up finding out that I was having sex on the side with this human guy and he kind of flipped out.

“He got really pissed and started telling me I had to stop seeing him. I thought it was just because he was a human. I know how some paranormals can get about that. So, I broke it off. But about a month later, I stared hooking up with this werewolf guy, and he found out again, and lost his shit again, this time telling me I couldn’t sleep with werewolves...even though we’d both fucked werewolves before. So, the relationship, I kind of have been thinking of it like this story I heard. I remember hearing that Spartans, those crazy strong soldiers from ancient times, could sneak out of their barracks and go fuck their wives in the middle of the night. If they weren’t caught officially, then no one cared, but if they were caught, then they were punished. But that’s just had me all fucked up ever since then. And then, about six months ago, he drops the whole pregnancy thing on me.”

She looked down at her belly, which had a noticeable bulge to it. She ran her hands gently over the bare, pale skin. “It isn’t his. Vampires can’t reproduce that way. I went through a whole process, a sperm donor was selected, the impregnation began after about a month...and now I’m just so fucking worked up because he’s gotten more controlling since then, telling me he’s worried about me and the baby, worried about our safety. It was hard to get away even for this. So, there’s that whole fucking mess, and to make things even more frustrating, I haven’t gotten laid in two months,” she growled, letting out a huff of annoyance.

“What?! Why not!?” Sadie asked immediately.

“Well, first of all, I’m too anxious to fuck anyone else but my husband, guys or girls, because of how overbearing he’s being. And now he won’t fuck me ever since I first started showing,” she said, again running a hand over her stomach, “because he’s turned off by women who are visibly pregnant. He finds them unattractive.”

“Okay, this is bullshit, Emma,” Sadie said with such harshness that Emma immediately looked up at her, startled.

“He’s not-” she began.

“I don’t care, Emma. This is fucking ridiculous. Either you have an open relationship, or you don’t. Everyone has rules and needs to respect those rules, but he’s just fucking you around. He can go out and fuck whoever he wants, but then he’s throwing up all this fucking BS with who you fuck? This is abuse, Emma.” She began to speak again but Sadie cut her off once more, taking a step closer to her. “Emma. This. Is. Abuse. You have to know that. Abuse doesn’t just mean hitting you. There’s all kinds of abuse and this is a form of it. It would be one thing if he asked to close the relationship, but that’s not what he did, did he?”

“No,” she murmured.

“No, he’s been out fucking other women in the past two months, hasn’t he?”

“Yes.”

“Exactly. You don’t have to stand for this shit, Emma.”

“She’s right,” Aurora said.

“Yep,” Brianna murmured.

Lilith nodded and stepped forward, then hugged her. “Emma, you should really think about this,” she said. “This isn’t right. On top of the double standard of him being able to sleep with whoever he wants but you being unable to, there is another problem that is a huge red flag for me. I don’t like that it is okay for you to be intimate with other girls, and he’ll even bring women home and be into it, but he pitched a fit when he found out you were with other guys. That is so not how open relationships work. If he’s only into you being open with other girls, but not guys, that means that he thinks that you can’t achieve actual emotional intimacy with other women, and he isn’t threatened by them. He is threatened by other guys, which is likely why he got so upset when he found out about the human guy. Acting out like that means he doesn’t respect your relationships with other women, and likely doesn’t respect you as a female in your own right. Being with other ladies isn’t some kind of thing that women do for men to get off on as a fetish. It’s a legitimate form of intimacy and connection. They can think it’s hot, and it fucking is, but females can have serious relationships with other females. The fact that he didn’t get upset until he found out about you being with other guys is beyond messed up.”

Emma was silent for several seconds, hugging Lilith back. “Fuck,” she whispered finally. “I just-I don’t know. This is so much. I didn’t want to talk about this tonight. I wasn’t going to talk about it at all. I mean, we’re married and he’s rich and he’s been good to me for almost ten years now. I mean...” she sighed softly.

“Emma,” Sadie said, and her tone was much softer, she almost looked apologetic, “what I’m saying is that you need to have a conversation with him. A real, face-to-face, clear and concise conversation with him. You need to tell him these things. You need to air your feelings. You need to let him know that this is fucking you up. You need to hammer out some ground rules. None of this wishy-washy, failure to commit bullshit excuses. He needs to state, directly, what is allowed and what is not. If he wants to close the relationship, which I seriously, seriously doubt he wants to do, then that needs to be said. And if his terms are complete BS and are heavily one-sided, as in: he can fuck whoever he wants whenever he wants, but you have heavy restrictions on who you fuck, then you need to call him on his bullshit. Okay?”

“I...yeah, I should do that,” Emma said quietly. She suddenly took a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh. “Goddamnit!” she said, and laughed. “I just wanted to have fun tonight!”

“You can still do that,” Lilith pointed out.

Emma glanced at Alex, who still felt kind of weird and out of place among all this, and she again chewed her lower lip. “I...don’t know if I should.”

“Do you want to?” Sadie asked.

“Oh, fuck yes, I want to. I want to really fucking bad. You are really hot, Alex, and watching you fuck turned me on so fucking much, and I’m hornier than usual because the pregnancy has my hormones all fucked up. But...”

“Has he ever told you, directly, not to fuck men?” Sadie asked.

“Well, no. Not directly...”

“Has he ever told you, directly, not to fuck humans?” she pressed.

“No...”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“He’ll be so pissed if he finds out,” Emma murmured.

“If he finds out,” Sadie echoed. “If you don’t tell him, he won’t find out. I know it might feel shitty. A good rule of thumb is that if you have to hide it from your partner, then it was a bad thing to do and you shouldn’t have done it. But that isn’t what’s happening here, not really. According to the shadowy, uncertain rules of your relationship, nothing wrong would be happening here if you fucked Alex. You’re in an open relationship, you’re with a guy you want to have sex with, it’s perfectly safe, nothing bad is going to happen. There’s no risk from having sex with Alex. So why not fuck him?” she asked.

Emma kept staring at him with her vividly blue eyes and he looked back at her. In his own mind, he was actually kind of worried now: what if he did fuck her and it came back to bite him? Pissing off a several hundred-year-old rich and powerful vampire CEO did not sound like a good idea. But Sadie had a good point. He trusted all the women in the room not to tell anyone. How would it get out? And, okay, he was probably mostly thinking with his dick here, because Emma was seriously one of the hottest women he’d ever seen in his life.

“Fuck it,” she said finally. “I’m going to have fun tonight. You want me, Alex?”

“Desperately,” he replied immediately, making all the other women laugh.

“Then let’s go.”

Emma closed the distance between them and kissed him on the mouth. There was an immediately obvious and powerful passion to her as she hugged him tightly to her nude, wet, curvy body. Emma moaned loudly and tilted her head slightly, deepening the kiss as she began to desperately probe his mouth with her tongue. He moved his own forward eagerly to meet hers and when they found each other, she immediately began to twine and twist them together, breathing heavily. A thought that shot through his mind was that now he at least knew what it was like to have sex with a woman who seemed to really want him, but he had never had the experience of hooking up with a woman that was actually desperate for him.

Although he imagined that Emma was not desperate for him specifically, but rather for what he represented.

Well, it was still pretty great, regardless.

“Here,” he said after a bit longer of kissing and groping the thick swell of her ass, “lay down on the floor.”

“Okay,” she replied. Her eyes were wide, and her pale face was flushed now. She seemed to tremble with excitement. Or was it?

As she laid down on her back, he got down onto his knees. “Are you sure about all this? I just want to be totally sure,” he asked.

“Yeah! Yeah. I am. Why? Do I seem like I’m not?” she replied.

“You just seem...nervous,” he answered.

“I’m not. No, I mean, I am nervous, but I’m more excited than anything else. Like I said, I haven’t gotten laid in two fucking months. I used to have a lot of sex, and getting pregnant just made me a lot hornier, so...you know, I’m really excited. Like, really excited. And you are such a fucking cute human.”

They both looked over as the glass door slid open. “He is,” Brianna said. Now she and Aurora were standing at the edge of the shower.

“We decided we need to watch this, instead of just listen,” Aurora said.

“If you’re sure,” Alex said to Emma.

“I’m sure. Please don’t stop,” she replied.

“Okay then.”

He laid half on top of her and resumed kissing her and groping one of her large, bare breasts. Kissing and touching her was incredibly erotic and almost electrifying. She was extremely responsive and eager, grabbing him and kissing him deeply, immediately pushing her tongue back into his mouth. He groped her for a bit longer as he felt her hand move down his own body until it settled on his dick, as hard as a bar of lead, and began to massage it. He slid his own hand down her body, settling briefly on the swell of her belly, then down lower, to her hip, her thick thigh, then in between them. He gently parted her legs and found her clit.

She cried out, breaking the kiss, her voice very loud, as he began to gently rub her clit. “Oh fuck! That’s what I fucking need!” she cried. “I missed this so fucking much...”

He kept going as she resumed kissing him with fierce passion, and Emma was so keyed up, so pleasure-deprived, that she came very quickly. Her thighs clenched, and her hips bucked as she let out a loud shriek of pleasure, trembling all over as she began to come, a hot spray of sex juices escaping her pussy even as he continued touching her down there, pleasuring her.

“Oh yes! Oh, my fucking God yes!” she shrieked, holding him tightly as she climaxed. When she was finished, she laid back against the padded floor of the shower, trying to catch her breath. “Oh wow,” she whispered.

“Ready for the next one?” he asked.

“The next one-oh fuck!” she cried as he slipped a finger inside of her. She resumed moaning as he fingered her, then lowered himself a bit and began sucking on one of her large breasts. She moaned louder, reaching down and placing a hand on the back of his head, rubbing it slowly. “Oh Alex,” she whispered, “this is so fucking good. You have no fucking idea. This feels so fucking good. I’ve wanted this so badly for so long.”

“He will deliver more orgasms,” Brianna said. “I can personally attest to this fact.”

“Yep,” Aurora agreed.

“You have quite a circle of sex friends,” Emma said, panting beneath him. “You must feel lucky.”

“I feel like the luckiest person in the world right now, and have ever since Brianna seduced me,” he replied, then switched over to her other breast and began licking across her beautiful pink nipple, making her moan louder.

“You’re so sweet,” Brianna said, and Sadie laughed.

“He is lucky. It’s rare to get brought to one of these. And he gets to fuck you, Emma. Look at him, he’s obviously completely head-over-heels in lust with you,” Sadie said.

“Are you?” Emma asked, looking down at him.

Alex looked at her for a few seconds, glanced at Brianna. “It’s okay dear, I can see that as well. I don’t mind. Be in lust with her. She’s insanely hot. Keep going.”

He looked back at Emma. “I’m absolutely in lust with you,” he confirmed.

She smiled at him. “I’m glad. Cause I feel pretty much the same way about you.”

He did find that hard to believe and thought it might more be about what he represented than he himself, but he was so horny that he found it easier to push that thought aside for the moment. He kept fingering her and sucking on her breasts, making her cry out again, her voice carrying well in the shower stall. And before he knew it, he had her orgasming again. He felt her vaginal muscles clench around his fingers as he worked her pussy relentlessly. Feeling that hot release of sex juices, with her body jerking and twitching, and her screaming and moaning in desperate pleasure filled Alex with an immense feeling of satisfaction. And when she was finished, he moved on to the next phase.

Settling down between her thick, pale thighs, he set to work with his tongue.

“Oh, my God,” she moaned, looking down over the swell over her stomach at him and laying a hand over the back of his head. “Holy fuck, this is so good.”

Alex pleasured her with his tongue, deciding to mix it up a little and using the entirety of his tongue, going slowly, pressing firmly, licking up her pink skin in between her lips, and she moaned loudly. He did this several times, then used the tip of his tongue, massaging the small white nub of her clit, pleasuring her more still. He kept going and going and going, listening to the sounds of her pleasure, wanting to give her one more burst of bliss, one more powerful climax before enjoying his own pleasure of entering her.

After another few minutes of tonguing her clit and pleasuring her with his full tongue and lower lip, he started working her pussy with his fingers again, giving her another powerfully intense orgasm that had her gasping and screaming.

As soon as she was done, she gently pulled his head up, out of her crotch. “Come on, no more foreplay. Get inside me. Please,” she begged.

“Very happy to,” he replied immediately as he settled into position between her legs. She stared down the length of her body at him, her eyes wide, chewing on her lower lip, her wet red hair a wild mess. She looked as alluring and sexy now as she had the entire night. He knew he wouldn’t be able to lay down fully on top of her because he was very paranoid of putting too much pressure against her belly, but doing things on his knees would be just fine. Emma brought her legs up, raising her own knees, and he slid his into the space created as she bent her legs, settling against her. Lining his cock up with her incredibly hot, wet pussy, he pushed his way into her, and both of them let out sounds of intensely impassioned pleasure.

He was inside of her.

Alex looked down and saw that he was buried within her, all of his length. He was having unprotected sex with a witch. An insanely hot, pregnant, married witch. He settled his hands on her big hips and started making love to her, sliding slowly in and out of her pussy, enjoying the incredible sensation of their contact, feeling her body react to his, listening to the sounds of sexual ecstasy she started to make as he fucked her.

He began to go faster, watching her breasts sway, then bounce as he thrust into her. Alex ran his hands down over her thick, pale thighs, relishing the feel of her soft, smooth, hot skin, then up, running his hands over her belly. She moaned and reached out, laying her hands over the back of his, holding them there.

“I haven’t enjoyed this yet,” she whispered, “this sensation of being touched there while having sex. I haven’t...oh, wow,” she moaned, and began to run his hands over the swell of her belly as she pushed against him with her hips.

It felt like an incredibly intimate thing to do and he wasn’t sure how to feel about it. All he knew was that he liked it, he immensely enjoyed that she wanted him to touch her there as they made love. The expression on her face, and the sounds of sexual satisfaction she was making were extremely gratifying. No one else was saying anything, and they were both enjoying themselves, so he kept doing it, running his hands slowly, carefully over her belly as he had sex with her, sliding smoothly in and out of her. The sensation of being inside of her was overwhelmingly satisfying, amplified by simply looking at her incredibly beautiful body and her wonderful, pale face and wet, red hair. After a little bit, he slid his hands up further, gently groping her huge, wet breasts.

“Fuck, this feels so good,” she moaned.

“He’s good, isn’t he?” Brianna asked.

“He’s amazing,” she groaned. “You’re amazing,” she said, looking directly at Alex. “I’m sorry, we all keep talking about you, few of us are talking to you.”

“I’m just happy to be here,” he replied. “But I do appreciate that.”

Alex lowered one hand back down in between them, settling his thumb on her clit and beginning to massage it slowly. She gasped and let out a louder moan, closing her eyes and beginning to chew on her lower lip.

“You like that, huh?” he asked.

“Mmm-hmm...” she moaned softly.

He kept going as he made love to her, and with his other hand, still clutching her breast, he began to play with her nipple, running his fingertips around and across it, making her cry out again. Making more rapid circular motions with his thumb, he pressed down a bit harder, wanting to give her another orgasm.

It didn’t take long.

She sucked in a big breath of air about the same time he felt her thighs clench up, then she began crying out in intense, impassioned rapture as she started another orgasm. This time, being inside of her, still fucking her, he got to experience the full blast of that climax. Her pussy seemed to convulse around him and tighten up even more so than it already was. She screamed as another spray of feminine sex juices escaped from around his cock, getting all over his thighs and lower stomach, and he groaned loudly at the waves of pleasure it gave him.

“Can I come inside you, Emma?” he panted, knowing that he was going to be over the edge very soon.

“Yes,” she replied immediately, her whole body twitching in response to the waves of pleasure rolling through her, “fuck, please do. I want to feel that so bad. I want to feel you coming inside of me,” she moaned.

That was all he needed to hear. Settling his hands onto her big, pale breasts again, he kept having sex with her, kept fucking that amazingly tight, orgasming pussy of hers, going harder and faster, and then he was coming too.

His orgasm blasted into existence.

It was easily the most powerful one of the night, fueled by so many different factors, so many different aspects of this situation turning him on, making him hornier, throwing gasoline on the flames of his lust and desire.

It felt like a seismic event as he started to come into her.

Alex felt his hips jerk violently forward, making Emma yell in surprise, and he could feel his cock beginning to kick furiously inside of her as it spat out his seed. He spilled it into her in hard spurts, emptied himself, pumping her sweet pussy full of it. The euphoric pleasure rolled into him, filling him, exploding out from his core. It was like an uncut drug, an intoxicating experience. For the second time tonight, he was orgasming inside of a married woman, and fuck, she was pregnant, and she was so fucking beautiful.

His orgasm slowly petered out, his cock dry-kicking and finally settling, and he was left breathing heavily, the pleasure slowly ebbing from his body, leaving him adrift in a sea of calm serenity. He looked down at Emma, who looked very satisfied and happy. Her hands found his and she held them, lacing their fingers together as she stared into his eyes. He was still inside of her, resting on his knees.

“I hope this wasn’t a mistake,” she murmured.

“Me too,” he replied.

“None of us are going to say anything, Emma,” Sadie said. She was sitting down near Emma’s head now, and reached out and ran a hand over her hair. “You can trust us.”

“Like you said, you are in an open relationship, and it was never explicitly stated that either you weren’t, or that you weren’t allowed to do this. And you don’t need to say anything about this, Emma,” Lilith said. “Just try to enjoy that it happened.”

“I certainly enjoyed it,” Emma replied.

“I know you don’t want to hear this,” Sadie murmured, “but...are you really happy with this relationship?”

Emma said nothing, instead shifting her gaze away from him and up to Sadie. After several seconds, she sighed softly. “I’m not sure,” she said finally. Then she gave a small, unhappy laugh. “You’re right, I don’t want to hear it, or to think about it.”

“I’m sorry. I just want you to be happy, Emma. You deserve it.”

Alex carefully pulled out of her and then laid down beside her, settling his hand on her stomach. She turned slightly to look at him. “What do you think about all this?” she asked suddenly.

“Me?” he replied, startled.

“Yes. You.”

“I...honestly? I’m afraid to say anything. All of this seems a bit beyond me.”

“Come on. Just give me your honest opinion,” Emma pressed.

He sighed. “I think... you should have a direct conversation with him about the relationship. I think he needs to own up to it...whatever it is. Either he wants to close the relationship, or he needs to admit that he wants an open relationship with certain restrictions. He can’t have it both ways. It isn’t fair.”

“I’m not sure our relationship was ever exactly meant to be fair,” she murmured. “I knew what I was getting into...”

“Did you?” Sadie asked. “Did you really?”

She sighed again and closed her eyes. “I don’t know. It was a long time ago. And now I’m pregnant. And having to do stuff like this behind his back.”

“You’re scared of him,” Aurora said.

“Yes...I am.”

“You shouldn’t be scared of your husband, Emma,” Brianna said. “Whatever the arrangement, if it’s love or business or even just lust, whatever the arrangement of the marriage or relationship is, you shouldn’t be scared of your partner. It isn’t right.”

She was silent for a few more seconds. “Maybe I’m just projecting, or overreacting, or imagining things,” she said finally.

“Emma...” Sadie replied.

“I think maybe I should be going,” Emma said, sitting up.

Sadie put a hand on her shoulder gently. “Emma, I can’t try to tell you what to do, I won’t try to make you do anything, but...you should consider your own happiness, and safety, and whatever happens, you also need to think about the child that you’re carrying. You need to think about their happiness, and their safety. It’s not just you that you need to worry about anymore, okay? You have friends you can turn to, and I want you to know that. Okay? No matter what, we are always going to be here for you.”

“I...okay. Thank you.” She hugged Sadie tightly to her, then released her and looked around at them. “All of you, thank you. I really do appreciate this.” She turned to Alex. “And thank you, Alex. You did an exceptional job pleasuring me tonight.”

“You’re welcome, and thank you, for having sex with me, because you were absolutely phenomenal,” he replied.

She laughed and hugged him. “Okay, I really need to wash up, then head out.”

…

It was raining again.

It was very peaceful.

Alex sat on Sadie’s back deck with Brianna and Aurora, staring out into the rainy darkness. Brianna was on his lap, Aurora next to him, all three of them situated on a sofa she had out there. All of this was beneath a roof, protecting them from the rain, but the cool night air blew in from the open-faced sides.

Alex was exhausted, and a little apprehensive, but mostly he was happy. Emma had washed up thoroughly and dried herself, then dressed in her clothes. She still seemed pensive as she left, but she’d given him a long hug and a longer kiss, thanking him again for the night of fun and pleasure, which he had returned in kind, feeling like she was the one that had done him a favor. After that, Sadie seemed intent on injecting some more good cheer into the atmosphere, and so they’d gone back to the bedroom and sat around drinking wine and sharing stories.

Well, all but Alex, as he didn’t have much of a taste for alcohol, but he was glad to hear the stories, and tell a few of his own about his experiences with Brianna so far. And after he’d had some time to recuperate, Sadie had jumped him again, Brianna joining in this time. By the time he’d finally called it quits, he’d had sex with all four of them at least twice, Lilith three times, actually, and he was completely spent.

Eventually, Sadie and Lilith had settled into conversation and another bottle of wine, and Brianna had suggested he and Aurora come out onto the back deck with her to get some air.

“Are you doing okay?” Brianna asked.

“I’m...kind of nervous,” he replied after a few seconds of thought.

“Why?”

“Well, an old vampire CEO seems like someone to be scared of, you know?”

“Alex, don’t worry,” Aurora said, but the way she said it seemed almost automatic, like she was just trying to make him feel better.

“None of us are going to say anything. Emma isn’t going to tell him you fucked her,” Brianna agreed.

“Are you sure?” he asked. “Like really sure?”

Brianna sighed softly. “I mean, as sure as I can be, but I can’t promise.” He didn’t say anything, thinking more intensely now, wondering if the situation might get dangerous. “Alex,” Brianna said suddenly, resolutely, “we do have a lot of protections in this city. Especially when it comes to protecting humans from paranormals. You’re safe. I won’t let anything happen to you, okay?”

“...okay,” he replied finally.

“And if worse comes to worse, we’ve got friends, Alex. Trust me,” Aurora said.

He thought about Helena. Thought about how Brianna had described their relationship once, how they would do a lot for each other. Well, that did make him feel better, honestly. And what was he paranoid of, anyway? That some vampire was going to come for him? It did seem pretty unlikely. What was more likely was that he and Emma had just enjoyed some sex together, and they probably wouldn’t see each other again, and that would be the end of it.

He really did feel bad for Emma though, because it sounded like she needed to get out of that relationship.

Another thought occurred to him. “Brianna,” he said.

“Yeah, babe?”

“If you’re still okay with it...I don’t want to leave Thorne yet. I want to stay here a bit longer.”

“Really?” He nodded. “Good! I want to, too! I guess we’ll have to extend our hotel room...”

“Don’t,” Aurora said suddenly. “Come stay with me.”

“Really?” Brianna asked.

Aurora nodded. “Yeah. I’d love that. I like having you two around.”

Brianna looked at Alex. “What do you think?”

“Sounds great to me,” he replied.

“Then it’s settled. We’ll crash at Aurora’s place.”

ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m the author! There isn’t too much to me personally. I live somewhere in the United States and I like to write stories about people having sex and people having adventures!

So what makes me special? What sets me apart from most of the other thousands of erotica authors out there?

Well, a few things that I can think of.

I write about younger, often more innocent twenty-something guys. I’m honestly sick of all the billionaires and NAVY Seals and cowboys and firefighters. Most of all, I’m fucking sick and tired of all these BS ‘Alpha Male’ types. I don’t really want to bring down anyone who is writing or reading that, but I thought it was high time we started hearing about guys who are more realistic and down-to-earth.

Another big focus of mine is human guy on inhuman lady sex. There are certainly tons of stories about hot chicks getting laid by werewolves and dinosaurs and even Bigfoot! But there’s not enough out there, in my opinion, about regular guys fucking hot alien or monster or otherwise inhuman ladies. I love writing about human guys getting laid by mermaids and dryads and sexy aliens and genetically engineered female super soldiers and robots.

Finally, I like emphasizing sexual encounters, casual and longer engagements, that focus on consent, communication, trust, and respect. I like both parties involved getting what they want out of the sex. (Or I should say all parties, given how many people are fucking at once!)

If you want access to extra content, to get news about my progress on upcoming stories, or pictures of hot naked monster girls, then here’s some places you can check out.

This is my WEBSITE, (www.mistyvixen.com). Here, you can find free short stories that are related to my works or stand on their own, a monthly newsletter, alternate versions of my cover art where the ladies are naked, and more!

This is my TWITTER, (www.twitter.com/Misty_Vixen). I’ll post updates and pictures of hot naked alien, monster, or otherwise inhuman ladies I find on the internet. Also, I respond to pretty much everyone, so feel free to say something!

This is my PATREON, (www.patreon.com/MistyVixen). There, you can get early access to the first chapters of my in-progress works, and early access to alternate versions of my cover art where the ladies are naked! They will be released to my website after one month.

And that’s it! Once again, thank you very much for reading my work. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
