Crazy Seduction(erotica)

Henry lifted Tish and gently placed her on the middle bucket seat. He tilted it back slightly, belted her in, then noticed Dayshia and Sandy were on the back bench seat with Marisa between them. The mane of blonde hair was stretched out across all three like a blanket. He grinned at Marisa.

“Shut up,” Marisa said and snuggled in between the two ladies.

Suddenly Sigrid and Meixiu rushed out of the hospital and jumped into the front seats.

“Sit down and buckle in, Henry!” Sigrid called back tersely as she started the truck.

“Where’s Roger-”

“Now!”

Henry shut up and fastened his seatbelt as the truck pulled away from the building. They joined traffic on the main roads and headed for the expressway. “What happened to Roger?”

“He wasn’t there when we returned to the room,” Meixiu said.

Henry sat back and fretted about that. What did the man see? What happened to him? He recalled opening his eyes to see Roger included in the group of unconscious friends.

He was also an anarchist who believed the society needed a good kick in the ass. Now, he was out there with potentially some kind of physiological change, who knows what kind of abilities, and a head full of unexplainable images. Dammit! The situation was going from bad to worse.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where are we going?” he asked.

Sigrid glanced in the mirror. “Walter Zhao’s house.”

“What? Why there? He’ll have left wards on the place! Powerful ones!” Marisa argued.

“It’s secluded, and Meixiu lived in the house when Walter created the wards, so she’s excluded from their effect. She believes she knows how Walter disabled them. She’ll go in and shut them down. She’s very brave!” Sigrid said with a proud smile for her housemate and received a grateful smile in return.

They drove on for a while then Sigrid could wait no longer. “Henry, what happened?”

He sighed. He had some explaining to do, and they had a little time.

A strand of hair stroked his cheek affectionately. He reached up to take it between his fingers and kissed it. “Did you know Sandy’s hair almost died? I mean, before, it was only partially energized but it was alive then. Sandy told me she was attacked in the subway yesterday and in the attack, her hair became dull and lifeless. Dayshia was also attacked the day before that, but she wasn’t injured. Today it was Tish’s turn only this time they were successful.”

“Who’s they?” Sigrid asked though she had an idea.

“The Fae. Queen Mab wants something from me. She needed leverage, so she went after my friends,” he said as he ground his teeth in frustrated rage.

“How did they change?” Marisa asked.

Henry looked at Marisa. “The usual way.”

Marisa frowned. “But Tish was hurt, crippled I thought.”

He looked away with a bleak expression on his face. “I know. Not a circumstance where sex should have been on anyone’s mind. Tish was desperate from her injuries, and her behavior was anything but normal. She refused care and said I was the only one who could help. Her emotions were going off the rails when she saw me. She kissed me. When Dayshia and Sandy leaned against me to stop Tish, my pheromones exploded out.” He shuddered with self-loathing. “I’d suppressed it for too long and when the three women triggered it, I… I couldn’t stop it.”

“How long have you been suppressing it?” Sigrid asked.

Henry thought about that. “Four or five days. Since the nightclub.”

“Why didn’t you release it earlier?” Marisa asked.

Henry shook his head sadly. “I didn’t know how. I tried when it was safe to do as no one was around but it wouldn’t… come out to play.” He took a deep breath to calm himself. “This is all new to me but I’ve learned suppressing it is not the route to go.”

Henry ached for sleep, so he leaned his temple against the window, and soon the motion rocked him to oblivion.

Keeping an eye on the blonde locks, Meixiu reached back to shake Henry’s shoulder. He jolted awake.

“What?!?” he blurted.

“We’re here,” she said.

She addressed the group. “You should all stay in the truck until I ensure the house can be safely opened. I don’t know what defenses Walter added to the wards. If he did change them after I escaped you could be caught in the blast.”

“I’m going with you!” Sigrid insisted.

Meixiu smiled at her gratefully.

The two ladies stepped out and walked up to the large front door.

“I can feel the ward. There’s a pressure. An impulse to leave. Unpleasant,” Sigrid said quietly.

“Walter didn’t like visitors. Especially when he wasn’t home,” Meixiu replied. She was feeling better with Sigrid’s presence and being able to ‘defang the dragon’ by using her captor’s first name. She’d always called him Master or Mr. Zhao. Sigrid taught her she no longer had to treat him with respect he didn’t deserve. Doing this made her feel much better.

While she was terrified to step back inside this home, she knew it would help her break free from his control if she did it by her own free will. Anything she could do that he would not have approved of felt like a victory.

They stood before the door and from Sigrid’s expression she could tell the ward was working full force. She marveled at her friend’s strength of will. Another reason to feel confident. Also, she felt none of the effects so this meant Walter hadn’t alter the wards.

“No change,” she sighed, and Sigrid gave her a cautious smile.

“The lock is keyed to my grip,” she said and reached for the handle.

“Wait-” Sigrid warned but too late.

Electricity shot through Meixiu’s body as the trap sprung. She could feel Walter’s malignant intent permeating the spell he’d added to trap his errant slave should she return. It wasn’t meant to kill, or she’d already be dead. She saw Sigrid reaching for her.

“No!” she spat through her clenched teeth, and Sigrid leaned back from the rage in her voice.

Meixiu noticed the trap spell was struggling to put her down on her knees and realized Walter’s magic wasn’t stronger than the Wild Magic coursing through her. She grit her teeth and pushed back, hard.

The trap spell was the first to fall with a loud snap. She kept up the pressure and let her senses spread out over the home. She attacked any magic that reacted aggressively to her presence and one by one they failed and burned out. The home’s passive protections were still active, but they were no threat, so she left them alone.

When she was done, she sagged and released the doorknob. Sigrid caught her in her arms.

“Are you ok?” the Valkyrie gasped.

“Yes. It’s safe now. The wards are gone. I’ve destroyed all of Walter’s offensive magical protection on the building.”

Sigrid looked at her in shock. “How?”

Meixiu gave her a tired but satisfied smile. “My magic is stronger than his!”

Sigrid grinned at her and pulled her into a quick hug.

When Sigrid released her, Meixiu reached out and opened the door with a push.

“Walter didn’t lock the door with a key?” Sigrid asked.

“He didn’t like to carry them, and he didn’t need to,” she said with a weary sigh.

“Are you going to be ok?” she asked.

“I will be fine.” She turned to face the door. She stepped inside the threshold. “I will turn on the lights and get fresh sheets on the beds upstairs.” She smiled back at Sigrid, feeling very pleased with herself that she’d defeated Walter’s magic. She couldn’t begin to say how grateful she was for Henry’s gift of the Wild Magic! It gave her confidence and a new peace of mind. There was nothing left in this house for her to fear.

With a proud nod and smile, Sigrid went back to the truck and moved it right up next to the front door. The unloading process went smoothly with Henry cradling Tish in his arms, Sigrid doing the same for Dayshia, and Marisa guiding Sandy’s hair as it carried Sandy. Meixiu had found the light switches, so the house was well lit as they made their way inside. They climbed the stairs to the second floor to find Meixiu had removed the dusty comforters. The sheets beneath were clean at least.

“I will find fresher blankets to place over the top sheet,” she said before slipping away with the comforters.

Sigrid laid Dayshia down on the bed in the first room, pulled the sheet over her, then struggled with the window to get it open. She finally managed it and joined Marisa in the second room. “I’ll get the windows open in their rooms. The air is stale in this house.”

Marisa nodded. “Tomorrow we’ll throw open all of the windows.” She pulled the sheet up over Sandy and accepted a touch on her lips by a tendril of hair. She smiled and followed Sigrid to the third bedroom where Henry stood staring down at Tish. They saw his hands were shaking and they shared a troubled look. Sigrid moved to open the window then they gently guided Henry out and back down to the main floor. They went into a sitting room just to the left of the front door. Meixiu joined them there.

“Are you ok, Henry?” Sigrid asked.
