21 - DECLAN
You’re gonna get us all out.
“Nothing like a little bit of pressure, am I right?”
Star smiles at me. “No pressure. No pressure at all, Declan. All you have to do is what you do best. That’s it.” She turns to look at Quaid and Aric. “That’s the theme here, don’t you think? That you’re just doing what you do best.”
Both of them agree, not looking concerned at all. But they’re they beginning and middle of this little escape plan. I’m the actual ‘get it done’ guy.
Still, I am the messenger of the gods. Well, not exactly. But I’m the son of that guy, which should count for something. Besides, the preliminary step in this little drama that’s playing out is sex with the missing Pleiades Eight. In the beginning of this adventure I was hoping to make out and feel her up a little. But she’s had sex with both Aric and Quaid—and she’s already naked—so as far as I’m concerned, that’s my prize whether we get out of this stupid maze or not.
No pressure, Declan, you got this.
Star is smiling at me with a twinkle in her eye that I interpret as a mischievous invitation. I extend my hand, beckoning her to reach for it. She steps forward with her chin high and her breastsall perky and tight. She’s sexy with clothes on, pretty as well, but naked, she could give Venus a run for her money. Her curvy hips sway as she approaches me and places her hand in him. “Take me away,” she says. “Sweep me off my feet and show me what I’m missing out on, Declan.”
I pull her towards me, only marginally aware that Quaid and Aric are watching, but I already know what happens the moment I kiss her from their perspective because I’ve witnessed it twice now. Star and I are gonna disappear, and end up somewhere cool, and we’re gonna fuck. And then, at the moment of climax, we’re gonna have a transcendent experience.
My hand slides around her round hip, reaching down to grab her ass as my other arm slides around her back, forcing her breasts to push against my chest.
She giggles, smiling up at me. Even leaning up on her tiptoes a little. I spy Aric and Quaid leering at us from across the room, and I decide to put on a good show. I take her face in my hands and lean in, kissing her with an open mouth and lots of tongue.
She responds in kind, her eyes closed, moaning into my mouth. And it’s like she hasn’t been getting fucked all day by other men. Or maybe, her sexual appetite is insatiable. Either way, it’s just a big green light to close my eyes and do whatever I want with her.
A few seconds into the kiss, I feel a sort of twirling sensation. Like we’re caught in a whirlpool. And when I open my eyes, Aric and Quaid are gone.
Hell, the whole room is gone.
Star’s eyes are open now too and she gasps, breaking the kiss and clapping her hands. “Oh, my god! Look at this! I knew you were gonna take me somewhere amazing, Declan. I knew it!”
Itisamazing. We’re still in the maze because the black stone walls look the same as all the corridors we’ve been in. The glowing symbols are here too, but that’s where all the similaritiesend. It’s a circular room with many arched doorways around the perimeter. They don’t lead anywhere, they’re blocked up with stone, like they’re part of the walls. But it’s very clear that theycouldlead somewhere.
If you knew how to open them.
“Wow,” I say. Walking over to one and placing my hand on the cold, hard stone. “Where do you think they go?”
“To Paradise, of course,” Star says.
“And how do we open them?”
She gives me a sideways smile, then bites her lip. “We fuck them open, obviously. I mean. That’s how it’s been working so far. I kiss one of you guys and then we get all worked up, have some dirty sex, and at the climax, a secret is revealed. Our secret must be the doors, Declan.”
I shrug, agreeing. “Makes sense because I’m transport guy.” Then I grin and give her a side-eye. “We shouldn’t waste any time.” I take her hand and pull her close again. Looking right down into her eyes. “How should I lead you into the Land of Bliss, my little hot goddess?”
“What about that?” She points up to the ceiling.
I look up and find a dark, black hole in the shape of a dome. “Huh. I don’t know.”
“Is it another door?” she asks.
“Only one way to find out.” I lean to kiss her again, but she places a hand on my chest. “What’s wrong?”
She shoots a quirky smile that immediately sends some dirty vibes my way. “Well,” she says, tracing a fingertip a fingertip down the middle of my chest. “Maybe it’s my turn to take one of you guys to the Land of Bliss?” And as she’s saying this, that finger of hers continues all he way down to the little happy trail that leads into my pants. I look down at her finger, then back up to find her biting her lip. “I really want to unbutton your pantswith my teeth.” And as she’s saying this, she’s lowering herself to her knees.
My mouth nearly drops open. I mean, of course I was picturing a whole bunch of hot, sweaty fucking, but I had planned to make all the moves.
However… I am an equal opportunity kind of man and I’m more than willing to let her take control of the situation.
I grab her hair with both hands and watch as she begins to lick my stomach. Her eyes are trained up, locked with mine as she deftly places her teeth over the button of my jeans and then, a moment later, pops it open.
