"That they were really there like we were?" Sam finishes. "No. No fucking way. Kate wouldn't touch another woman."
"Cyn was in mine. I can ask her to see if you two have anything to worry about," I offer.
"Yes. Please," Tom says.
I keep looking at my phone as we walk and never have even a single bar. "Where the hell are we?" I ask.
"Last I remember we were in Louisiana," Matt responds.
"This isn't the swamp, so I doubt that's where we are," I tell them.
"Wait," Sam says. "Have you noticed there aren't any animals? Like no crickets or birds. Not a damn sound."
"There weren't any other cars on the road either," I add, glancing around. "Does this look like the place in the dream, except it was daylight?" I ask, and everyone agrees. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. I think that bitch put us in some sort of alternate universe."
"Let's call the whore, see if she comes, and will get us the fuck out of here," Sebastian suggests.
"Fine. We could walk all night and never get anywhere," I agree.
"Ava. Ava. Ava. I'm thinking about you, you bitch," Sebastian shouts.
"Now, now. There's no need for name calling," the slut says when she magically appears before us, still naked.
"Where are we?" I ask her, and she turns toward me.
"You! You're the only one that resisted me. You're the reason I got distracted and wrecked the van."
"That’s not my fault! I can't help it if you couldn't seduce me."
"Fuck me right here, right now, and I'll take you all back," she orders with a scowl, and a hand on her naked hip. "I don't like being refused."
"Well, get used to it, because the answer is no."
"Then have a nice life in the woods boys," she says, then turns to leave.
"Wait!" Sebastian calls out. "What else will it take?" he asks.
She rubs her pouty lip with her finger while she thinks it over. "Nope, that's it. See ya," she says, then disappears.
All the men turn on me like this is my fault. "What the hell?" I ask, putting my hands up defensively. "I have a girlfriend I love for the first time in my long miserable life, and I am not fucking it up by fucking that whore!"
"Well, you may never see that girlfriend of yours again if we're stuck here forever," Matt comments.
"Shit! I didn't think about it like that," I admit, rubbing a hand over my face. We’re out of options. "Fine, call her back."
"You call her back. This is your fuck up," Sebastian yells.
"Fine. Ava. Ava. Ava. If that's what it takes, I give the fuck up!" I scream.
"About time," she says, appearing with a smile. When she starts approaching me I hold up a hand stopping her.
"Whoa. I thought it'd be in a dream."
"This is a dream."
"But they're all in my dream watching, and that's too weird," I say, gesturing to the other men.
"Fine, but if we go back to one-on-one, they all have to have me again."
"Is that acceptable?" I ask the group. No one protests. "Do you promise if we do this that you'll put us back in…the real world?"
"Yes," she says, then it’s just me and her in the sunny woods again. Of course I’m now naked too. "How do you want me?" she asks, rubbing her body against mine.
"Quick."
"Then, I'll make sure you last a long, long time. This is my dream, remember?"
"Damn it. Then how do you want me?" I ask her, ready to get it over with.
"You owe me, so go down on me until I come, then fuck me from behind like we started before," she says.
"What? No. No way," I tell her, backing away.
"Then I'll leave you here alone and take everyone else back. Won't you miss your Cyn sitting here for eternity while she ages and then dies?"
"Fine!" I yell. "We saved your life and this is how you thank us? Seducing us, even those of us that have women we love?"
"The women don't have to find out, and it's just a dream," she says.
"Then wake me up when it's over," I remark.
"You really don't want me."
"No, I don't."
She pouts her perfect red lips. "You're the first one that hasn't wanted me. Everyone always wants me. Even the vampires wanted me, regardless of the fact that they had wives. Oh, and they liked it too, don't let them tell you otherwise."
"Whatever," I say, feeling like a teenager not getting his way.
"Alright. I'm willing to compromise. Get me off with your mouth and I won't make you fuck me. There, is that less of a betrayal to your woman?" she asks.
"Could I talk you into letting me use my hand instead?" I counter.
"No. You've given me all sorts of insecurities so I want your mouth on me. Now," she orders.
I go down to my knees in front of her, hating myself for what I’m about to do. At least I don't have to have dick in pussy sex with her. I doubt the Clinton defense is gonna work when it comes time to fess up. The slutty elf comes forward and spreads her legs. I look up at her smug but beautiful face, hating her more than myself before I press my lips to her smooth slit and then flick my tongue out. I can do this. I'll pretend she’s Cyn, and after it's over I can see her in just a few hours. Closing my eyes I grabs her thighs to open them wider and lick her, sliding my tongue between her folds and tasting her as she moans. She tastes…good, sweet like honeysuckles. That makes things easier as I go back for more, swirling my tongue around inside of her, then finding her clit to suck on and tease, bringing her closer. Her hips rock as she grabs my hair to guide me. I give her what she demands, fucking her with my tongue until she comes, coating my mouth with her delicious taste, that makes me feel slightly ill.
"Wow, that was so damn good," she says with a sigh. "You sure you don't want to fuck me?"
"No. Please take us back now," I beg while still on my knees, so ready to be back to Cyn, even with my guilt.
"It's just a dream," she repeats, then she’s gone.
I look around and I’m in the same spot behind the wrecked van, just like I was the first time I woke up. Or thought I woke up. "Damn it."
"We're back! Hell yes," Seth shouts. I glance around and all the other guys are here, too. Our injuries are healed from the accident as we sit on the side of the road with the destroyed van. Other cars zoom by in the night, staring at us but not stopping to help. We’re back in the real world all right.
"Let's get the fuck out of here," I tell them, standing up to start walking. I pull out my phone, and thank God there’s now a signal. "Someone find the closest rental place," I yell, then see the white bus pull over. We all rush to it and climb quickly aboard.
"You!" Tom yells when he sees the elf sitting all prim and proper on the bus couch, looking innocent. Right.
"Throw her off the goddamn bus," Sam yells.
"Where the hell have you all been?" Alex asks. "We've driven by five times and couldn't find a single one of you, but Ava said you'd turn up here eventually.
"That whore wrecked us!" Tom screams.
The rest of our hostage passengers look concerned and confused. At least the boy isn't watching, but I'm sure he could hear us from his bunk.
"I know when I'm not wanted," the whore says sweetly, which is when I finally notice all the red bite marks on her neck. "Good times with you all, gentleman. Especially you," she says with a wink at me. "Call me whenever you want to taste me again."
Then she walks down the steps of the bus and heads into the woods.
"Oh man. Why'd you have to go and run her off? She said she was going to let me hit that tonight," the young vampire complains.
"Believe us, you don't want sloppy," I have to use my finger to count. "Sloppy sevenths. That bitch is fucking nuts."
"Sevenths? What are you talking about? She's been here the whole time," the vampire counters.
"Someone want to explain what happened?" Alex asks.
"No. Just take us to the closet rental car place please," Sebastian tells him, finding a place
to sit on the floor since all the seats are full.
"Where are we anyway?" I ask.
"Close to the Texas border," Jacob answers.
"Awesome," I say, sitting in the floor to call Cyn.
…
Almost an hour goes by before all three of our phones ring at the same time, and of course we’re already holding them as we sit anxiously waiting in the living room.
"Jason?"
"Oh fuck am I glad to hear your voice," he says.
"What happened? All my messages to you bounced back."
"We had a wreck-"
"Oh God! Are you okay?"
"Yes. We're all fine. Vampire blood is healing our injuries. Got to get another rental. We're close to Texas. So tired and miss you so fucking much," he slurs.
"Jason, are you really okay?"
"Yes. Just need some rest to recover. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, of course. Why?"
"You weren't taking a nap or…sleeping earlier were you?" he asks hesitantly.
"No, why?"
"Good. No reason. Just don't worry. We'll be home in a few hours. God, I love you so much."
"I love you too, and I'm still worried about you."
"I'm fine. Promise. Gonna go sleep. Talk to you soon, okay?"
"Okay. Bye."
I look at the other two women talking to their men, and they both look upset with furrowed brows. I try to catch some of their conversations to see if they tell them any more about what happened. Sounds mostly like what Jason had told me.
Kate hangs up first. "Sam didn't sound right."
"Jason didn't either. They had a wreck."
"I know. He said they were okay but…I think he was lying."
"What the hell?" Joselin asks with a frown, looking at her phone after Tom apparently hangs up. "He's hiding something. He sounded…guilty. That fucking elf-whore!" Joselin curses, and I don't think that’s something the woman does very often. She dials Tom again. "Is the elf screwing with you?" she asks him right out. "I know how they are. She did, didn't she!?! Did you give in? No, Tom, I want to talk about it right now," she says, getting up to go down the hall to another room.
Kate and I are both instantly back on our phones too.
"Cyn?" Jason answers groggily.
"What did the elf do to you?" I ask him. Nothing but silence.
"Ah, how, how did you know?"
"Damn it Jason, what happened?"
"She forced us all into a dream and wrecked the van. When we woke up we were still in a dream if that makes sense. Finally she put us back into…reality," he sighs. "The accident had been real though."
"That sounds crazy."
"That bitch is crazy," he replies. "But at least she left so we're rid of her now."
"That's good. Did she touch you?" I ask.
"Um, not in real life."
"She touched you in a dream?"
"Ah, yeah. Can we talk about this when I get back? I'm about to pass out, and if I go to sleep maybe I'll be there with you when I wake up."
"Okay. Love you." I let him off the hook since he sounds so tired and sad.
"I love you too. I can't wait to get back."
I end the call and look up at Kate who's already hung up with Sam. She shakes her head. "Ever since those damn warlocks showed up, there's been one problem after another between me and Sam. Everything was so good before…"
"I'm sorry Kate."
"I guess the honeymoon is over."
"Ours too, and we've only been married two weeks," Joselin says when she comes back in and sits down with us.
"Oh, I'm sorry Joselin. Jason said the elf put them all in a dream and wrecked the van."
"Yeah. The thing is, elf dreams are much more…realistic than normal ones."
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Well, if you fall and scrape your knee in an elf dream, you'll wake up with a scrape. That sort of thing."
"Did Tom tell you what happened?" I ask.
"Not really. Just they were in a dream and couldn't get out. He left out some important pieces I'm sure. But from what I remember, elf manipulation is extremely powerful, and they're known for their seductions."
"Sexual seductions?" Kate asks, wide-eyed.
"Ah yeah."
"You don't think…" she says.
Joselin shrugs. "I don't know. I'm trying to tell myself it was just a dream, no matter what."
"Joselin, you got any margarita mix? I could use a big glass right now," Kate says.
"Great idea," Joselin replies, and we all head for the kitchen to get drunk and wash away our concerns until the men return home.
…
I wake up to Max's woof, and then Jason's arms are around me. Rolling over with a slight headache I smile up at him.
"Hey! I'm glad you're home," I tell him.
"Oh God, me too," he says before leaning down to kiss me.
"Get those bastards out now! Kate's here! Christ! Oh God!" Sam yells through the house.
"Oops," I say. "Guess someone should have told you all that."
"Shit, that’s going to cause even more problems," Jason says, shaking his head.
"So why don't you get the old problems out of the way," I suggest. But I’m too glad to have him back to hear anything bad. I pull his mouth to mine, letting all that wait.
After we make love and I’m lying on his chest recovering I ask again. "So? Out with it."
"If I tell you, will you promise not to gossip with the other women until, if, or when they know? I'm not sure what went on with the other men, and it's their place to tell their wives if they even decide to, okay?"
"Okay."
"So it all started when I was dreaming I was in the woods. Then this woman appeared. Naked. It was Ava, the elf that we rescued. I asked her what she was doing and all she said was I could look at her or…touch her. I said I can't and she grabbed me to prove that I could. I told her I wouldn't cheat on you. Then I was suddenly naked and she was rubbing her ass on me. I protested again and you appeared and started touching her, too. That's when my head started hurting and I woke up on the side of the road, thrown from the wrecked van. All the other guys were still knocked out and I started waking them up. They had all been in similar dreams. There were no other cars on the road and our phones didn't have service, so we started walking. As we walked we realized what she'd done, and that we weren't ever going to find a way out. So we called her," he says, then pauses. "This is where it gets bad, and I want you to promise not to tell Kate or Joselin."
"I won't say anything."
"Well the elf whore shows up, and she’s pissed at me, because I'm the only one that held out and didn't fuck her, which is why she was distracted and wrecked the van. She said unless I fucked her right then and there she would leave us in that dream forever. I told her hell no, I wouldn't do it, and she disappeared. All the other men were pissed at me and terrified. They said we'd never get out if I didn't just give in and do it. So I called her back and she took us all in the individual dreams again. She told me…she said I had to go down on her and then fuck her and I told her no. I tried negotiating and…finally she agreed that if I went down on her she wouldn't make me fuck her. So that's what I did. I'm so sorry. I swear to you I didn’t want to but the bitch wouldn't let us leave. It was the only way to get back to you."
I push myself up from him, mouth gaping as I digest what he just told me.
"You…went down on some elf woman named Ava?"
"Yeah, but it was just a dream. A very…realistic dream."
"Really? Because Joselin said whatever happens in an elf dream is real."
"Ah…" he says, speechless, and looking guilty.
"Why are you acting so guilty if it was just a dream?"
He covers his face. "I'm so sorry Cyn. I don't give a shit about Ava and I didn't like it-"
"Ready for me again so soon?" a beautiful, naked blonde woman suddenly appears on the freaking bed with us.
"What the fuck!" I yell, scrambli
ng off the side of the mattress.
"You must be Cyn," she says as she looks my naked body up and down.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Jason asks, and I assume this is the woman who'd "forced herself on him."
"You thought about me and said my name three times," she says, tossing her long hair over her shoulder. "You are a lucky woman. His mouth is unbelievable. I've never come so hard. And damn if he's not hung, too."
That’s it. I head for the bathroom, and slam it, locking myself inside. Just a dream my ass! Oh and I'm sure it was such a chore for him to have to pleasure a beautiful woman. Damn it, I knew he'd lied to all those women back in D.C., too. I’m never going to be enough for him.
Tears fall quickly down my cheeks from the pain of thinking he actually cared about me. I was an idiot to actually believe his lies.
"Cyn please come out!" Jason calls.
"She made you do it Jason? Seriously? I'm not buying it," I yell at him through the locked door.
Chapter Fourteen
Jason
After I get the bitch to leave I go downstairs to give Cyn some space. I don't know how I’m going to fix this shit with her, or prove that the elf whore didn't mean anything to me.
"Goddamn it! In my premonition, after we got out of the D.R.A. there was a blank spot and I didn't know what it was. It had to have been the fucking elf!" I hear Sebastian bitching when I walk into the kitchen.
Tom’s head’s hung, looking sadly into his coffee as he slumps in his chair at the kitchen table. Sam doesn't seem to be in much better shape with his forehead pressed to the table.
"Fucking, goddamn whore!" Sebastian screams.
"Okay, why are you so upset?" I ask him as he paces the length of the large dining room clenching his fists like he wants to hit someone. He doesn't even have a woman who’s pissed at him.
"She fucked up the future!" he yells.
"The elf?" I ask.
"Yes! It's all gone. Ryan, Seth and Matt's mates are never born. And Madison, hell, the long term consequences of this are not good for her at all. Ryan and Adam's much needed love and stability? Gone. You and Cyn are done. This is disastrous!"
"Oh God," I mutter in shock, sitting down at the table. I thought she’d be pissed for a while, but it’s more serious than I thought.
