Halloween Trial

by Casey Morgan

  “It’s obvious.” Drew flickered into view. Still not used to that, I gasped and put my hands up to my mouth. The ghost boy just laughed and went on. “You have to seduce Jasper. That is the most logical choice.”

  I glared at him. “How so?”

  Drew raised his half-invisible eyebrows. “I’ve been following him around since he took over for Angie in Thorn’s office. Jasper’s seen the plan for the trials. He was boasting about it to Cade.” Angie and I shared a shocked glance. “I think he’s trying to move up in the shifter group,” Drew explained. “He wants to become Cade’s right-hand guy.”

  “So, you seduce Jasper and suck up his knowledge of the exams!” Angie clapped her hands happily. “Once we know what he knows, we can tailor your studying to that.”

  “It seems simple enough,” I agreed. But it wasn’t. Losing my virginity was a pretty big deal, even if I tried to pretend it wasn’t. “I guess I should go do that now, right?”

  Angie and Drew stared at me with their mouths hanging open a little. Angie waved her hand at me. “Don’t you want to dress up or—”

  “Take a shower?” Drew supplied.

  I looked down at myself. With all the worrying I had been doing, I had kind of forgotten about hygiene. “Okay,” I admitted. “Shower first.”

  Angie smiled and grabbed my hand. “Great! I have the perfect dress for you to wear.”

  She pulled me back to the dorm so I could get ready for my first seduction.

  Chapter Eleven

  The dress that Angie let me borrow was black and low cut. Honestly, I was a little surprised that my roommate owned such a thing, but I had only known her for about a week. I had no idea what her dating life was like.

  As I was doing my makeup, Angie did a scrying spell to locate Jasper. She said he was in the library, probably working on a class project or doing some studying. She also suggested that I take him into one of the private study rooms in the back of the library to do, well, what I needed to.

  I nodded, taking her suggestion to heart, and tried to get my unruly hair to look smooth. Dating was new to me — not like this was really dating — but I took a deep breath and told myself that it all was going to be fine.

  Angie was right, Jasper was in the library. It took me a few minutes to find him among the maze of books, but that was fine — it just meant that fewer students were going to come across us as I tried my best to be seductive. He was at the back, in a reference section, flipping through what looked to be an ancient encyclopedia.

  Watching him read, I told myself that I shouldn’t be nervous. It was about time that I lost my virginity anyway. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to have sex before, I just didn’t have a chance.

  “Jasper?” I said, almost too quietly, but Angie had assured me that shifters had excellent hearing, and I was pleased when the ice-eyed boy turned towards me. He gave me a curious glance. I looked up at him, taking in how handsome his face was, and then lowered my eyes to look through my lashes — pretending to be shy. “That’s your name, right? Jasper?”

  “Yes. That’s me.” He closed the book he was holding while raising his white-blonde eyebrows and slid it back into its place on the bookshelf. “You’re the new girl, right? I’m sorry, I don’t remember your name.” His voice was a low grumble that made me feel weak in the knees.

  Keeping my eyes lowered, I raised a hand up to my succubus necklace that was being prominently displayed between the tops of my breasts. I could feel the moonstone heating up slightly. “My name is Ruby, Ruby Thrushmoor,” I told him, stealing glances at his eyes. “I wonder if you could help me with something, Jasper?”

  He was looking at my chest. My little black dress was so low cut that my nipples were almost showing. Having his eyes on me made me feel hot like a flush was covering my skin.

  Jasper bit his lip slightly. I wondered if he recognized what the necklace was. Professor Goldwin said that any witch could, but Angie hadn’t, and magic objects were one of her passions. Maybe the professor was wrong. If Jasper did know what the necklace was, he didn’t say it.

  Shifting slightly, he turned his body towards mine, crossed his arms over his chest, and leaned casually against the bookshelf. “Hi Ruby. What do you need help with?” I liked the way his long frame looked when he stood this way. He really was a well-built man, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

  Tentatively, I stepped forward so that I could brush my fingers up his arm. He shivered under my touch. Looking up into his eyes, I bit my lower lip slightly. My pussy was starting to ache. I wasn’t sure if this seduction was an act anymore. Part of me wanted this man. I wanted to feel him under me.

  I hadn’t quite rehearsed what to say, so I decided to be bold. “I want you to take my virginity.” Jasper let out a breath. His eyebrows shot up as his light-blue eyes opened wide. When he opened his mouth to speak, I put a finger to his lips. “I really do what this,” I told him. “I want you to take me now.”

  The succubus necklace was burning on my chest. My desire seemed to feed it, or it amplified my desire, I wasn’t sure which. All I knew was that I wanted to be fucked bad. What had started as a plan was quickly becoming urgent and demanding.

  Moving up to my tiptoes, I ran my hands through his silky, blonde hair and pulled his face to mine. Our lips were inches apart. I could smell his minty breath as he panted.

  “Do you think you could help me with that?” I asked in a coy whisper.

  Strong hands gripped my waist. Jasper pulled my body against him, lifting my feet off the ground a little. “Oh, yes,” he growled. “I can fix that for you.”

  His lips pressed into mine. It was my first kiss, but it wasn’t sweet at all, and I was glad. His tongue pried my lips apart, teasing my tongue and exploring my mouth in a demanding way. Lost in the taste and feel of him, I sucked on his tongue hard until he gasped and pulled away.

  Keeping me aloft, Jasper turned and slammed my back into the shelf of reference books. Not caring that the skirt of my dress was quickly rising up, I wrapped my legs around his hips, pulling his crotch towards mine. When I felt the growing bulge beneath his slacks, I shivered slightly. Part of me was scared, but a bigger part was lost in desire. My pussy ached to be filled, and Jasper had what I needed.

  With my hands clenched hard in his hair and my arms over his broad, strong shoulders. I pulled his head back so I could kiss and nibble on his chin. My lips brushed the hints of stubble on his cheeks and neck. I liked the warmth I felt coming off of him, and it made me want to bite him more. Each bite I gave him made Jasper grunt.

  Using his body to keep me firmly pressed against the books, he let his hands wander. One moved up to my back, then over my stomach, while the other slipped down to my butt, under the fabric of my dress where he could feel my bare butt cheek. His fingers were warm on my skin. I wanted more of that feeling. I needed more of his touch.

  I leaned back, pulling the straps of my dress off my shoulders so that I could free my breasts and my nipples that had hardened to the point of pain. His eyes lit up at the sight of me, and he lowered his mouth to my flesh. The wetness of his tongue and cheeks as he sucked on one of my nipples made me cry out. It felt so good like electricity was running throughout my body.

  Crazed, I reached back, above my head, and grabbed the top of the shelf, so I could push my body into his more.

  Jasper pulled my dress down till it was barely hanging on my waist. My breasts were in his face, exposed to anyone who happened to walk into our corner of the library. I knew I was acting crazy and indecent, but I was too far gone with lust to care. All that mattered was that I could feel his mouth sucking one of my nipples after the other, as his hand gripped my ass cheek so hard it kind of hurt.

  “Take me,” I moaned, probably embarrassingly loudly. “Take me now, Jasper.”

  He stepped back a bit, letting my body slide down until my feet were on the floor. I whimpered at the loss of his touch but quickly saw that he was pulling off his shirt, revealing the ha
rd, toned abs that I had only seen from afar. I had to touch then. Putting my hands out, I brushed my fingertips up and down his torso, feeling how hard and firm each muscle was.

  Jasper leaned into my touch, but he kept his hands busy by reaching down and unzipping his slacks. Gripping the tops of his trousers and the boxers underneath, he pushed both items of clothing down his hips and legs until he could step out of them. When he stepped towards me again, he was nude, and I was eyeing the only dick I had ever seen.

  It was long, much longer than my hand, and thick. The cockhead was rounded with a lip that made it look a little like a helmet. At the tip, it leaked a bit of precum.

  Suddenly, I didn’t know what to do. I pushed off the rest of my dress, but then stood frozen, in awe of the man in front of me.

  Jasper smiled. He wrapped a hand around his stiff cock and pumped it a few times. “Sure, you still want this, Ruby?” he asked kindly.

  I nodded. My throat feeling slightly dry. My pussy was ready. The necklace was burning on my chest. I was, without a doubt, ready to lose my virginity, but I just wasn’t sure how to proceed. “I want you,” I told him. “I need you to take me now.”

  Jasper reached down to his pants, which were discarded the floor. He pulled out his wallet and a condom he had stashed in there. I watched in wonder as he opened the condom and slid it around his shaft. When he was done, he stepped towards me and took me back into his arms. Without a word, he gave me a few kisses upon my shoulders and neck, then turned my body so that I was facing the bookshelf. With his hands on my hips and back, he guided me down till my butt was in the air, and my breasts were pressed into one of the shelves.

  I opened my legs wide. He grabbed my hips and pulled me to him, nestling his cock into my lower lips and rubbing it back and forth against them. It was heavenly. I felt myself getting wetter and wetter as he teased me. His cockhead pressed into my clit, causing my body to tense up under him.

  “Ready?” he whispered; his voice so deep with desire I could hardly hear it.

  In response, I opened my legs wider, thrusting my hips back into him. He shifted slightly till his cock pressed into my pussy, and my lower lips parted. The first inch hurt a little, but he patiently pulled back and slid forth gently until my pussy opened fully, and my innocence was gone. And like that, I wasn’t a virgin anymore.

  The rest of his length slid inside me. It was a feeling like I had never felt before. I felt full and achy in a good way. My core tightened around him like I wanted to keep his hard shaft inside me forever. But Jasper didn’t listen. He pulled out, gliding that hard length over parts of my pussy that made me squeal and then pushed back in again. It was the gliding that did it. His cock was touching so much inside of me, it made me quiver and shake on my feet.

  “Harder,” I begged.

  He listened. Grabbing my hips hard, Jasper started thrusting in and out of me with all of his strength. His fingers pinched into the skin of my hips, reminding me of the strength he had. His dick pushed into my trembling pussy over and over, each time built upon the other, feeding my pleasure until I was moaning nonstop.

  I grabbed the bookshelf in front of me, displacing ancient books haphazardly so that I could keep my body steady and feel the pounding he was giving me harder. I love it. I loved every part of it, from the sound of our bodies slapping together to the feel of his balls bumping into my clit. I was tightening. My body was tensing under him in a way I had never felt before.

  Then it happened. All that tension released. My pussy quivered and throbbed so hard it felt like it was massaging the cock inside of me. It pulled and quaked, sending shivers up my spine alone with the best tingles I had ever felt. My head swam, suddenly filled with a pleasurable ease that made my eyes blur and blink.

  “Damn, girl,” Jasper grunted behind me. “Oh, God! You cum good!”

  A bit of wetness slid out around his dick and ran down my inner thighs, but I was too far gone in my haze of pleasure to feel embarrassed. Jasper sped up. As I shook, he took me even harder, using my body to find his own release. The necklace at my chest was burning so much it started to hurt. I had almost forgotten it was there and what my mission really was.

  When I started to wonder if I had done it wrong or forgotten to do something to activate the succubus necklace, Jasper grabbed my hips harder and grunted low. Inside me, it felt like his dick got bigger. It strained, and then there was warmth I hadn’t felt before. He grunted harder. His whole body holding still and vibrating.

  Then everything changed. The quiet of the library was suddenly filled with a crowd of voices all speaking at once. The moment froze, as I almost wanted to put my hands over my ears. Light flashed. I closed my eyes, aware that scenes were flashing behind my eyes.

  God, this girl is hot, Jasper was saying, but I didn’t really hear his voice. I cannot believe this happened to me. This is like a dirty dream come true! And it’s her first time! She’s so tight, I could cum in her again.

  I realized that he was still fucking me. His cock was hardening again as he pleasured himself with the feeling of my body. I let him, relaxing into the fact that the succubus necklace was taking in his thoughts.

  Scenes and memories from his mind flashed into mine. I got a glimpse of my own ass. Then one of Cade’s face laughing. There were flashes of the football game, then an A-plus test score he just received. Pushing my will into him, I used it to shift through the confusion. I looked for glimpses of Thorn’s office — the familiar brown room with tons of old books. It came before me, memory after memory that I had to sort through until I found the one I wanted. There it was: my name — among others — listed on a piece of paper in a neat script and under it was a short list of spells. I had what I wanted. I knew what my trial was going to be.

  “Yes,” I screamed, slamming back into Jasper just as he came again.

  The power flowing through the necklace shut, like someone was closing a door, and the library looked normal again.

  “Oh yeah, baby,” Jasper grunted. “God, you are the best fuck I have ever had.” He pressed himself into me one more time, then stepped back. Leaning into another bookshelf, his eyes stayed glued to me as he slid off the condom. There was a strange light in them now.

  On shaky legs, I leaned down and grabbed my dress. Now that we were done, it truly hit me that we were both nude in the back of the library — where anyone could walk by at any second.

  “Maybe we could get dinner on Friday night?” Jasper asked as I got dressed as quickly as possible. He looked hopeful.

  “I can’t,” I told him truthfully. “I have to study.” Quickly, I planted one more kiss on his lips and ran from the library.

  Chapter Twelve

  The sun was streaming in through the windows of our dorm when I woke up a few days later on Halloween morning. Something was different. I found myself smiling. The usual sense of dread that I had woken up with for years was gone. On this morning I felt like a capable woman. The schedule for my trial — that Jasper had known — was now in my head and I had studied hard. I was going to do the best I could. Losing my virginity to him had been easy, and it had been fun. With the succubus necklace, getting through Ironwood would hopefully be a breeze.

  I found myself grinning from ear to ear as I grabbed a fresh uniform from the cabinet and started to change out of my pajamas.

  “You’re not wearing that are you?”

  Confused, I looked over at Angie. She was dressed as a black cat, complete with fuzzy ears and a tail.

  I laughed. “Are you in costume?”

  She fixed the headband that held her cat ears slightly and put her nose up in the air. “Of course, I am! It’s Halloween! What kind of ghoul doesn’t dress up on Halloween?”

  My roommate seemed truly offended, so I frowned. “I’m sorry, Angie. I mean, I like Halloween and all, but I figured since this was a school of magic, and so many of you could just change form at will, Halloween just wasn’t a big deal, especially with the trials today.”

&n
bsp; She twirled around slowly, showing off the details of her skin-tight costume. “It is a very big deal.”

  I shrugged. “Well, I will know for next year,” I told her as I started to get dressed in my normal uniform. “I don’t have a costume.”

  “Fine,” Angie shrugged. “But don’t blame me if everyone stares when we get to the amphitheater.”

  After I got dressed, I grabbed my wand, and we headed out. It was time; time to see if I could really be a witch.

  ****

  I wish I could say that I paid attention to the trials that happened before mine, but I didn’t. Once Drew, Angie, and I got to the auditorium, and I saw Thorn up onstage, a bit of my nervousness came back. Sure, I had the knowledge now, but would I be able to use it when I was faced with the grim headmaster?

  About half the school had passed their trials, and the boy who was currently on stage was doing very well. So far, he had only missed one spell that Thorn had thrown at him and one that he was asked to perform solo. They finished another bout, then Thorn nodded. “Well done, Mr. Hackkaw,” the headmaster said, actually sounding pleased. “You have made some real progress this quarter. Now, go have a seat, and we will move on to the next student.”

  As the boy happily marched down the stone steps leading to the stage, Thorn crossed to a small music stand that he had placed to the side. On top of it was obviously his plan for the trials. The tall, thin man traced a finger down the page, murmuring something to himself. When his finger stopped, his whole face lit up with his horrifying grin.

  He looked out into the crowd. “Ms. Thrushmoor.” I felt my stomach flip at his words. “Ms. Ruby Thrushmoor, please come up to the stage for your first trial.”

  The headmaster looked positively gleeful as I stood up and brushed the dirt off of my skirt. Around me, I could hear a few whispers and comments about my lack of a costume, but it didn’t matter. That was the least of my worries. If I passed this exam, next Halloween, I would show up in a damn princess dress.
