A rush of air behind me announces the arrival of the rest of our gang. Tee-Tee immediately hurries up to me, and I steady her in my arms. “Wes?” she gasps.
“Not yet,” I tell her, scanning the horizon. Where are you, Wes?
Max pushes past us both. “What the? We landed in the shire?”
I get what he means.
“I feel like Alice stepping into Wonderland,” Theo says, on a completely different movie trip. I kiss the top of her head, and my lips tingle.
“Theo!” The Feniks guy is staring at us, wide-eyed. Well, probably staring at Theo, not me.
“What the fuck?” Cosmo growls.
OK, they are both staring at Theo. That’s when I look down and notice a subtle halo of shiny pastel colors surrounding my girl.
“Holy glow-up!” says Max, swiping a hand across his shorn hair.
Tee-Tee steps out of my arms, turns a full circle, then brings a hand up in front of her face. “Oh,” she breathes, slowly rotating it. “I…oh-oh.”
Oh-oh, indeed. Theo has always been beautiful, but now I can hardly comprehend her gorgeousness. She’s radiating an array of colors that I bet don’t even exist in our, like, real world. The aura shines like mother-of-pearl on acid. Wes is going to lose his mind!
“Fuck, baby,” I growl out as a new sensation builds inside me. Fuck, the need to take her, right here on the grass, impregnate her with my seed is almost overwhelming. And pretty weird considering I’ve never wanted kids.
Ludo is inching closer, and his hand hovers tentatively an inch from her hair.
Just touch her, bro, she won’t mind. I’ve got the feeling that she’d actually like it—a lot.
The professor/not professor has his mouth hanging open, and Max is practically drooling. Looking around the glade, it’s like we men are fucking worthless tramps in the presence of a goddess.
Should I be dropping to my knees right now?
Yes please. I want to drop to my knees and bury my face in her pussy, worship at the altar of her clit. Fuck, nowIcan’t control my boner.
“What is happening?” she whispers. She trails her fingers through the air, causing a shimmy of sparkles to appear. “What am I?”
No one has any answers. This whole experience is like when I did too much MDMA.
“Someone who obviously belongs here,” The professor says. Yeah, I think he’s barking up the right tree.
“I belong here?” Theo repeats, then turns to face the landscape. “I belong here.” This time, she says it as a statement, and so she should. It's obvious, even to a dunce like me, that Tee-Tee and this weird land are connected.
“If I belong here, I should know where to find Wes, right?” she says, biting her lip nervously.
I snuggle up behind her, crouching slightly so I can talk into her ear. “Follow your instincts, Tee-Tee, and we’ll follow you.”
She does a little butt wiggle against my crotch. Oh, Gods. It’s subtle, but it makes my need nearly literally explode. When she steps forward, out of my embrace, I’m equal parts relieved and devastated.
“This way.” Theo points down the hillside. “I don’t know if it will lead us to Wes, but I do know this is the way to go.”
“I can’t believe your instinct would lead us to anything untoward,” Alexis says, rubbing his chin. “Show us the way, pulu.”
I’m glad she and the professor are taking charge; I’m too mind-blown to do anything. Four years, or maybe five or three years alone, and now this?
Does this realm have tequila? That would be great.
“Let’s go,” Tee-Tee says, jutting out her sweet, determined chin. The action makes the aura of mint-green and lavender sparkles around her. There’s no way any of us are going to do anything but follow whatever our glitter-queen wants, so off we head.
We walk down the dale (first time I’ve ever been somewhere that could be called a dale), taking turns calling out for Wes.
