The Willing Prey

by Scarlett Sunday

  Tanis could feel the pleasant warmth of Yoni’s tears running down between her breasts to collect in her navel. She lifted Yoni’s head and pushed her lips down over one of her soft nipples. Yoni felt its allure as her lips closed over it. In simple reassurance, she sucked it into hardness. “Listen to me Yoni. What you are about to hear you’ll not believe. Even so, you must, because it is true. I can cure you of your addiction now. You must be sure you want me to. If I do not save you, you will die and soon. The woman you saw tonight killing those two men is not a woman of this world. I am a predator who feeds on the bodies of humans because they are my food. My species is human. Yet, I’m far in advance of the humans who inhabit this sad world.”

  Tanis held her breast to Yoni’s lips to calm her surprise, giving her some of her essences. “Suck and listen.” Yoni looked up with wide eyes as her lips drew comfort from Tanis’s nipple. “You don’t have to believe me. If you choose to come with me, there is no turning back. I cannot allow you to live in this world with this knowledge. I do not want to take your body without your consent either. Within me, your mind will live as I live. Your physical body will go to feed my host. Your mind will be free of mine but still within me. I am thousands of years old Yoni, and I will live for millennia yet. I am giving you the choice of a long life within me. Or a short one in your earth-bound body where the drug will kill both your body and your mind. Only you can make the final choice?” I will have to take her anyway as she knows too much. This way it will seem her decision.

  Yoni placed a trembling hand on Tanis’s breast and gazed up into her eyes. “I believe you, Tanis. I’d rather live in you and be happy than die in miserable solitude without anyone to love me.”

  Tanis felt Yoni’s light touch over her heart and kissed her. With tears in her eyes, she thought. Yoni has no choice but to clutch at straws. Her life has become a miserable existence, and she knows it.

  Tanis placed both hands in Yoni’s hair. She could feel the young masseuse’s lips sucking on her nipples. “You don’t have to believe me yet Yoni.” She sighed at Yoni’s persistent hunger for her body. “Still, come morning you will look on your new life through my eyes.”

  For the rest of the night and into the early morning Tanis took her young lover into her personal paradise. Before the dawn, her own orgasm imminent, she took Yoni into her mind in the last coming of Yoni’s dying body. With her hungry fangs buried deep in Yoni’s attractive throat, she drew on her physical essence.

  While Yoni’s dying body went to feed her beautiful predator’s hunger. Yoni felt her mind break free and soar into a new world of bright consciousness. A world where she would never be alone again. A world where she would find lasting happiness with the strange, beautiful woman. She had come to love with a deep passion.

  Tanis sensed Yoni’s happy response. ‘My dearest wish is granted, Tanis. You have given me back my life, and I will always love you for it. At last, I’m where I most want to be.’

  “Others will pay a great price for taking your sweet innocence from you little one. That payment will become due soon. Now though, we must hurry home to make ready for sweet Tara.”

  CHAPTER 19.

  Sweet Tara

  **

  Surprised by Welland’s voice as he came down his apartment stairs, Tanis looked up. “I’m leaving for Holland Tanis. I’ll not be back until midday Monday. Could you come to the apartment at about eight this evening? Tara has something important she needs to discuss with you…I take it your date with Amanda went well?”

  “Of course, Welland. I’ll be here at eight. Yes. Amanda won’t trouble us anymore.”

  “Good. One down five to go Tanis.” Welland emphasised what Tara had already discussed with him in detail. “Don’t worry about anything, Tanis? Whatever happens between you and Tara is okay by me. It’ll never damage the love and friendship I feel for you.” He took her by her shoulders. “I know you understand me, Tanis. I entrust Tara’s happiness into your care until I return.” He kissed her on her lips and left for the airport.

  Excited by Welland’s words she promised to phone Tara to confirm their date. She didn’t need to guess what Tara wanted from her, Welland had made it plain. Tanis drove to Hatton in anticipation of the exciting week ahead. She had enough energy to cope with Tara’s wants. With Amanda in storage. Hussein and Yoni’s physical bodies would give her the strength to deal with Tara’s needs. What she required. A little time to digest last night’s meal and think about her next dalliance with Tara.

  ****

  Tanis awoke refreshed. Her excitement evident, she phoned Tara.

  “Hello…Oh, Tanis, how nice to hear your voice.”

  “Tara, I bumped into Welland this morning before he left for Holland. He confirmed you want me to stay with you until he returns on Monday?” Her heart hammered for Tara’s answer.

  “Yes, Tanis. When can we meet?”

  Tanis could feel her excitement move lower. “Tonight, if possible, Tara. Which will give you time to prepare for our five days and nights together. What time is convenient for you?”

  “You can come at eight this evening and stay until Monday morning Tanis. I’ll be needing to rest for Welland’s return by then. I have a lot on my mind. So, please dress sexy.”

  “Any preferences Tara…Will we be going out?”

  “No, we’ll be staying in Tanis. Wear a tight sweater without bras and the short skirt you wore on Monday night when you met Amanda.”

  “I assume we’ll be dressing for each other then?”

  Tanis heard the sharp intake of breath as Tara said. “Yes.”

  “Wear a lacy black clip-in-the-front bra. No panties, and a light button through dress over Tara.” She felt the butterflies take flight in her stomach. She’s planning to seduce me into having sex with her tonight, all with Welland’s blessing.

  Tara telegraphed the flight of her imagination. With her sudden indrawn breath. Then confirmed her feelings with words. “Anything else Tanis?”

  “Yes. No perfume.” Tanis didn’t have to wonder if Tara had made love to Welland while she’d been with Yoni. She became aroused. At the real prospect of exploring Tara’s body for Welland’s precious presence. I’ll let Tara orchestrate my seduction until I discover her game plan.

  ****

  Tanis’s impatience had grown by the time early evening came around. When she arrived outside Tara’s door at eight, she was in a high state of arousal. She knew her dilated pupils would give her thoughts away. More so in the half-light of Welland’s doorway. She lifted her breasts and undone the top button of her sweater. She was about to knock when the door opened, and Tara stood there beautiful and breathless. Dressed in the easy to get into clothes she had specified. She could feel her heart speed up when her nostrils caught the natural sweet scent of Tara’s pheromones. “Oh Tara, how beautiful you are.”

  Tara’s amber eyes flashed with fiery excitement. “Thank you, Tanis. You look fantastic. Your eyes seem to have hidden depths to them too. They look…well beckoning, changing colour also. I’ve been looking forward to tonight, Tanis. Ever since the Fancy-dress Ball. Did Welland tell you everything?”

  She lied. “No. Only you wanted to see me on a personal matter, and it was okay by Welland. You and he had discussed it at length. The rest is up to us to work out.” Tanis frowned. “I hope nothing’s wrong with you two Tara?” She shook her head to settle her hair, took a deep breath, then smiled. Fuck me! I can’t believe my luck.

  “I like it when you settle your hair like that Tanis. Our relationship couldn’t be better. Welland made love to me all last night. I feel so full of him I could burst.” Tara’s glance dropped onto Tanis’s swollen nipples, and she smiled. “He has so much to give a woman.” She laughed. “You would know that though? Welland’s such an understanding man. As he said, it’s for us to work out. Let’s have a coffee before we start our first evening together.” She joked as she let Tanis in. “Please come into my parlour said the spider
to the fly.” She smiled, the hollow of her throat telegraphing her excitement.

  Tanis smiled at her. She didn’t miss the turning of the key in the lock or the sliding of the bolt when she’d entered. With the door locked behind her, Tanis felt the delight of being trapped. Her eyes on Tara’s hands she said. “No milk in mine please Tara, I don’t want to dilute the caffeine tonight.”

  “I’ve asked the staff not to disturb us for anything tonight Tanis. Treat this time with me as you would a short, exciting holiday. Have you eaten?”

  “I dined last night after my massage. I’m feeling a bit peckish now though. Even so, it can wait.” She took Tara’s hand. Aware of the flame of excitement in her beautiful eyes, her heart began to race with excitement. Her resemblance to Shani was astounding. “Why you’re trembling Tara. Are you cold?”

  “No, thinking about us Tanis. Also, what the night might bring.”

  “Me too.” Tanis noticed Tara had moved the large high-backed corner settee into the room to form its own cosy space. The heavy drapes on all the windows are drawn shut. The whole area lit with the subdued lighting of a French bordello. Tara sat down next to her, her hands in hers. The hot light in Tara’s eyes telling her everything, she said. “It’s nice to see you again Tara. Let me look at you. Then tell me what’s bothering you.” She smiled, held Tara’s arms out from her sides and studied her gorgeous body with close interest. The flash of the fine diamond in the hollow of Tara’s lovely throat. Then the throbbing of her jugular holding her gaze. “You look perfect to me Tara…good enough to eat.”

  “As you do to me, Tanis.”

  What Tanis already knew of Tara’s dilemma thrilled her. The drawn curtains. The locked and bolted door, the subdued lighting, the coffee almost out of reach. The secret glances at her braless breasts. All with one purpose in mind, her seduction. Tara wanted to keep her here until Welland’s return. I love these love games. She faced Tara. Her heart pounding at the thought of holding her aroused naked body in her arms. She took a sip of her drink to wet dry lips, and prolong her sweet moment. Her hungry eyes playing over Tara’s gorgeous body. Her hand trembling with unsuppressed excitement, she said. “You are a beautiful woman Tara. Welland can count himself a lucky man.”

  Tara smiled, “Why thank you, Tanis.”

  She gazed into Tara’s eyes. “I can’t help myself when I think of you and Welland together. I must congratulate you on your dress, it looks so inviting. Now, what is it you wish to discuss with me?”

  “Ever since I first met you, Tanis, something has been worrying me. Oh, I know you and Welland have slept together. But, that’s not it. It’s about you and me.”

  Tanis watched the red tide of nervous feeling rise from Tara’s throat and sweep across her face. She imagined its downward movement over her stomach and beyond. “Go on Tara.”

  “Don’t get me wrong Tanis. I love Welland with a deep passion. What I don’t understand are the more than friendly feelings I hold for my best woman friend. I’ve never held the feelings I hold for you. Although, I did have a love affair at school with another girl, which could explain everything.”

  “Go on Tara. Adolescence is the hotbed of future adult experience.”

  “You must help me in this Tanis. I have Welland’s blessing to investigate, to try to resolve my dilemma, although I don’t see it as such.” She held Tanis’s gaze, blushed, then continued. “I…I find you attractive in a sexual way. I have a strong desire for you to make physical love to me. You have an attraction I can’t fight against.”

  Tanis studied Tara’s face. Her own heart pounding within. I’d only have to touch her breast. Then she’ll be mine. “It’s called bisexuality Tara. It’s as natural as breathing. In which, you are no different to me. You attract me in the same way.”

  “I was hoping you would say that Tanis.” Tara’s thin button through dress and black clip-in-the-front lacy bra was not enough to hide her heart’s hammering passion. The rise and fall of her breasts. Coupled with the erratic brilliance of the fine diamond in the hollow of her throat. Telegraphed it. She smiled, a little embarrassed, as she studied Tanis’s face and body. Her buttoned dress, which held her thighs together. Showed off her strong defined calves and shapely ankles to perfection. She had undone the bottom button of her dress to show the dark shadow of her inner thigh. Also, her dress top to show Tanis the half-hidden silken barrier to her breasts. With an unconscious thought, she loosened another button. Tanis must have the next move. To help Tanis, she said, “Please tell me what you’re thinking Tanis?”

  Her gaze drifting downwards Tanis answered. “For ease of access. Your dress is faultless. Your bra is a trigger to my imagination. And you know it, Tara. If I were a Vampire you would be inviting me in, which could prove fatal for you.” She continued. “You’ve told me in words and dress what you want from me. I can help you. But, you must do as I say.”

  Tara blushed. “I am glad seductive, beautiful, Vampire women are from the Supernatural Tanis, or I would be their first victim should they look like you. I place myself in your experienced' Tanis.” Aware of the Freudian slip she finished with a silent. “Oh My God!”

  Tanis smiled and stood up. She checked the phone plug was out. “We don’t want disturbing, do we, Tara?” She turned towards Tara and caught her in a blush. “I’ll assume you’ve locked and bolted all the doors and windows upstairs and down. So, I can’t escape.”

  “Yes, Tanis. I’ve hidden the key where you will never find it.” Bolder now, she continued. “You won’t get out of here without I let you out, Tanis. I mean for you to have your way with my body one way or another.”

  Her heart racing, Tanis said. “I bet I can guess where you’ve hidden the key Tara.” Her eyes dropped onto Tara’s bra. She smiled and moved to within arm’s length of Tara and studied her body. “Perfect. You have the body a woman like me dreams about Tara. One I would go to any lengths to possess. You sensed it in me at the party.

  “Last night, at a bathhouse, not ten minutes from here, I made love to a young Japanese woman who seduced me in the baths. She too wanted to have full sex with me.” For effect, she added. “You must know Jean, and I are lovers. I’ve also helped Kathy. A young policewoman, who has a dilemma much like yours, to accept her feelings for other women?”

  Tara’s bright diamond began to sparkle. “I know about Kathy and Jean, Welland too. Your involvement is turning me on, Tanis.”

  “Now you want to join my conquests, Tara? You have a deep yearning for me to make love to you because I remind you of the girl at school. I can identify with your fantasy. Most would push their teenage lesbian dramas deep into their minds. Where they think they’re safe. They are wrong to do so. Adult clients trust people like Jean and me. To turn their secret teenage experiences into reality. Their child-grown fantasies are the basis of our business. But you’d know that already?”

  “Yes. The girl at school was a strong woman like you, Tanis. I saw the resemblance at the party, with you in your armour. I knew then I wanted you to make love to me. Your eyes looked so authoritarian and fitted in with what you were wearing. I wanted to put some warmth into your eyes. You see I sensed you fancied me for dominant sex. I knew I could seduce you if given a chance. Welland was the man who would give me a chance with you. And love me as his woman also. Fate brought Welland and me together.”

  “I believe so too Tara. I’m a woman of the night. My clients come to me because I’m easy to approach and to talk to. I know them better than they know themselves. They pay me well to keep their secrets. Many people won’t believe this because of our profession. Even so, people like me have a code of ethics, which is our stock-in-trade. As a doctor would, we keep our clients’ secrets safe .” Tanis watched, confident of Tara’s reaction. “Your submissive side is secure with me and Welland, Tara. Like me, you are a strong woman who knows what she wants.”

  “I’ve come to the right person then Tanis. What else can a mixed-up woman like me do? I planned to seduce you into
my bed tonight for penetrating sex. To keep my fantasy in mind as you fucked me. You’ve turned the situation around. If you were to ask me, I’d tell you my secret, because I could trust you to act it out with me in meticulous detail.” She hesitated. “Fantasies need acting out in exact detail to achieve their ends, Tanis.”

  “Don’t I know it, Tara? I’ll make love to you in the way you desire. In a way, which will turn your whole body into warm jelly. Your imagination cannot compete with a fantastic reality. From what you’ve told me, I am the only woman who can act your fantasy out in exact detail. I am the dominant mistress of original sexual dramas Tara. I can be submissive too, should the occasion demand it.”

  “Christ Tanis, no wonder you’re paid well. Your understanding of the human psyche is supreme. I can already see us having sex together in reality.”

  “So, can I Tara. So, tell me your adolescent story, and I’ll turn your fantasy into reality. I could harden you towards your desire first if you want?”

  “What a nice way of putting it, Tanis. I would like that.”

  “You want my body, and I hunger for yours, Tara. We’re both sure of it now. We’re alone and locked up in a room where our closeness can only have one ending. I want the ending to be of your choosing. I want to play your fantasy out with you in minute detail. I couldn’t let you go now, even if I wanted to. My want for your beautiful body won't let me. My fantasy now is to indulge you in yours. Whatever?”

  “Maybe my fantasy’s too extreme, too bizarre Tanis?”

  “If it turns you on, I’ll give it to you, I promise. First though, a taste of what I can do.” Tanis stretched her hand out toward Tara and began to unbutton her skirt. She could see the strength of Tara’s emotions in her misty eyes. Then feel them in the moisture between her warm trembling thighs. Her fingers crawled up into Tara’s wet copper-gold velvet. She sighed as she pulled the dress from Tara’s trembling body with a single tug. To expose her body, then move in closer. “What a gorgeous body you have Tara. I have only seen one like it before in Ireland, a long, long time ago.”
