THE SEX SHIFTERS

by D. J. Manly

  “I’m oiling you up,” Shane told her, his mouth on her neck. He raised his eyes to Tavish for a second and Tavish leaned forward and pressed his mouth to his, kissing him hotly. Shane smiled.

  Cameron wiggled in between the two hard bodies as Tavish lifted one of her legs over his hand and drove his cock into her. At the same time, Shane did the same to her ass. Shane began to thrust, Travish moved back, then he drove forward. “Um,” Tavish said, managing to steal another kiss from Shane’s sweet mouth. “It feels like I’m fucking and being fucked at the same time.”

  “Yeah,” Shane replied, his hands coming up to play with Cameron’s tits, “me too. God, your beautiful Tav.” Shane increased his speed, Tavish adjusted to match his pace. Cameron cried out. “Yes… yes… oh… ah… .ummm…. keep going… faster, harder… Shane… keep playing with my nipples… Tavish… kiss me… damn…”

  Tavish took one hand off her hip and grabbed her head. He kissed her deeply, passionately, his cock feeling as if it was about to blow off.

  Shane covered Tavish’s hand which was planted on Cameron’s other hip with his own and squeezed tight as he shouted his orgasm, causing Cameron’s body to shudder with release. Tavish came now too, a deep groan escaping his lips as Cameron wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his neck. She was crying was softly. He hugged her close. “Are you okay?” He asked, half laughing, half crying himself.

  She nodded. She pulled away and turned to look at Shane. Tavish placed a hand on his head and pulled it close to his. Then they both pulled Cameron closer. They all kissed slowly, tenderly, then, broke apart.

  When Tavish emerged from the bedroom, Shane and Cameron were sitting side by side on the sofa. Tavish stopped and looked at them both, then smiled.

  “I guess our work with you is done now,” Cameron said. “Makes me sad. You, I could keep around a bit.”

  Tavish put his head down.

  “You do believe us, about what happened on GenderX?” Shane asked.

  Tavish nodded. “I do now.”

  There was a silence.

  “Everything has changed for me.”

  “That’s good, isn’t it?” Cameron asked.

  “I’m a little sad.”

  “Why sad?” Shane leaned forward.

  “To think of what my planet once was, and now what it’s become. How many of you…are left?”

  “We don’t know how many are being kept as pets, but free…you’re looking at it?”

  “You never told me how you escaped being vaccinated,” Tavish said.

  “My parents were radicals,” Cameron said.

  “Mine were too…and they were friends,” Shane added. “They bribed the scientists then raised us both in seclusion. Others, the ones kept as pets, the drug didn’t take. Some were killed, others well… sex slaves. We’re trying to find them but it’s not easy.”

  “And how many of us…like me have you…ah…re-educated?” He smiled.

  “You’re number twenty six,” Cameron said proudly.

  “Thanks,” Tavish said.

  “Now, go and get that woman of yours,” Shane prompted.

  “Woman?”

  “Don’t play dumb with us,” Cameron said. “Cassandra…”

  As if on cue, a loud pounding sounded at the door. All three turned to look at the door in surprise.

  “Alright, Tavish Lerue, I know you’re in there. Get your clothes on and get your ass out here. It’s time to work.”

  “There she is,” Shane laughed.

  Tavish shook his head. “She’s pissed.”

  “She’s jealous,” Cameron remarked.

  “Look, I know it was you who stole the…” Tavish began.

  “You going to turn us in, baby?” Shane said mawkishly.

  “Pack up and take off,” Tavish said. “I’ll say you guys got away… and no talk of sex shifters. Can you be gone in a few hours?”

  “We can do that. It’s a deal,” Shane agreed, looking at Cameron. “Come back and say goodbye?”

  “Tavish Lerue,” the pounding started again.

  “Yeah, if I’m still alive,” he smirked.

  Shane and Cameron laughed.

  Cameron stood up. “Go out the back way. We’ll stall her.”

  “Good idea,” Tavish said, and scurried through the balcony door.

  * * * *

  It was Shane who pulled open the door. “Yes?” he said.

  Cassandra narrowed her eyes. “Well…ah…ah…who are you?”

  Cameron came to the door now too. “Well hello. This is my husband, Shane. You’re eh…?”

  “Cassandra Burke. I’m sorry. I thought…I’m looking for Tavish Lerue. He…”

  Cameron looked mystified. “No Tavish here. Just me and Shane.” She took his arm and grinned. “Hope you find him.”

  Cassandra nodded. “I’m sorry,” she said and wandered off down the hall.

  CHAPTER SIX:

  Sam seemed to be in a panic when Tavish came walking into their room. “Hey there,” he said, lifting a hand. He was smiling. “What’s with you?”

  “What do you mean, what’s with me? Where in hell have you been? Cassandra is ready to call headquarters and report you missing. She’s been going all over hunting down your ass.”

  Tavish smirked. “She really does love me.”

  Sam looked shocked. “How did you know that?”

  “Know what?” Tavish asked, beginning to undo his shirt.

  “That Cassandra loved you?”

  Tavish looked up, his mouth opening. “She does?”

  “What’s ah…wrong with you anyway? You’re acting weird.”

  “What do you mean?” Tavish lifted an eyebrow, throwing his shirt on the bed.

  “Like, I don’t know…weird.”

  He began to undo his pants. “So, did she tell you that?”

  “Tell me what?” Sam asked, lying back on the bed. “And I didn’t get my naked maid yet.”

  “Tell you that she loved me?”

  “Before or after she almost puked on me?”

  Tavish stripped off his pants. “Hey Sam,” he said, eyeing him, “still curious about doing it with a guy?”

  “What? I was joking,” Sam replied.

  “Oh, too bad,” Tavish said, walking into the bathroom. “Going to take a shower. Want to get some breakfast?” He called out, turning on the water.

  “I already ate.”

  “I’m starved.”

  Sam fell asleep on the bed, only to be awakened by Cassandra who barrelled into the room, completely exasperated. “I can’t find him.”

  “What?” Sam blinked. “Who?”

  “Tavish, you jerk.” She gave him a shove, causing him to sit up and rub his eyes. “He could be hurt or…”

  “I’m fine,” Tavish said, walking out of the bathroom, a towel around his slim waist. “What’s the problem?”

  “You found him and you didn’t…?” Cassandra sputtered to Sam.

  “He didn’t have time. I just got back,” Tavish told her, giving her a smile. “Thanks for being concerned. Actually, did I ever tell you what a fine officer you are, Cassandra? I see you making Commander one day.”

  Cassandra blinked. “Huh?”

  Sam’s eyes widened.

  “I admired your work on our last assignment. I don’t think we would have finished up so soon without your brains.” He smiled at her. He knew she was surprised, but he wasn’t lying. Every word was true. It’s just that before he couldn’t even admit to himself, let alone her.

  “Tav, are you alright?” Sam asked.

  “Fine,” he said, wiping his face for the last traces of shaving cream. “Well, if you’ll excuse me. I’m going to dress, then go down and have breakfast. I’m starved.”

  “So,” Cassandra narrowed her eyes, “where were you last night?”

  “I was working.” So, it was a little lie. After this, he’d never lie to her again. He walked into the bathroom, placed both his h
ands on the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. No. No more lies to women. “Cassandra,” he called out.

  She came to the bathroom door. “Yeah?”

  “I wasn’t working.” He looked up at her.

  “You don’t owe me an explanation,” she shrugged.

  “I know, but I want to give you one. Cassandra,” he said, standing up straight, “I’ve changed. I know you won’t believe it, but last night something extraordinary happened to me…and…well,” he paused, “I want a chance to show you the new me. Will you let me?”

  She smiled. “Yeah,” she said. “I’ll let you.”

  Their gazes met. Wow! She was beautiful and strong, and sexy. He could feel the sexual tension fill the bathroom. He took a breath. “I think you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” he said suddenly.

  “Tav,” she said, shaking her head but there was a ghost of a smile. “I’ll have breakfast with you if you hurry up. Will you tell me…what happened or…?”

  He nodded. “I’ll tell you.” He smiled. Maybe he wouldn’t tell her every detail because there were some things he wanted to keep to himself…but he’d tell her the important stuff.

  A half hour later, Tavish and Cassandra sat eating in the restaurant. Tavish ordered two plates of food and wolfed the first plate down without tasting it. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I haven’t been too talkative.”

  “You’ve had your mouth full,” she commented, then laughed. “What did you do last night, Tav, climb a mountain?”

  “In a way,” he said putting down his fork. “Let’s just say I met some people who showed me the error of my ways.”

  “I don’t understand.”

  “Well, I’ve learned that women aren’t my inferiors…in fact,” he reached over and touched her hand, “you are miles ahead of me in many ways, sweetheart.”

  She shook her head.

  “I’ve also learned that there’s a range of sexual expression out there, and that sexual expression is all pleasurable no matter who’s doing it—providing it’s consensual of course.”

  “You mean… men with men and women with…?”

  He shrugged.

  “Are you sure you’re alright?”

  “I’m better than alright. I want a partner, Cassandra, a woman to be my equal. I want to know I can rely on her and she can rely on me. Does that make sense?”

  She opened her mouth.

  “Cassandra?”

  “Who were these people? Magicians?”

  He laughed. “In a way.” He reached over and took her hand. “Give me a chance honey, I think you might be it. If you don’t feel…”

  Cassandra leaned forward and pressed her mouth against his in a kiss.

  He smiled. “That’s a good answer. Let’s get out of this place.”

  “Well,” she said slyly, “you could come to my room?”

  “Could we ah…take it slow?”

  She nodded. “Sure. You have changed.”

  “Look,” he checked his watch, “I got something I have to do. How about I pick you up at your room in an hour and we go for a nice long walk. It’s a beautiful day.”

  “Tavish, we have to work,” she protested.

  “Don’t worry about that now,” he stood up and bent down to kiss her cheek. “See you in an hour.”

  * * * *

  When Tavish walked into Shane and Cameron’s room, there were packed bags in the middle of the floor. Shane came out of the bedroom when Tavish arrived, looking handsome in his white linen suit. “So, where you going?” Tavish asked.

  “Back to the planet we were brought up on, for now.”

  “It’s a hidden place in the galaxy,” Cameron offered as she now emerged, fiddling with her earring.

  Tavish reached over and adjusted it for her, leaving a small kiss on her neck after he was finished.

  She smiled at him. “Now I want you for myself.”

  “Me too,” Shane said, coming closer and pushing back some of Tavish’s dark hair. “So,” he sighed, “did you get the girl?”

  “She kissed me,” Tavish grinned.

  “I don’t blame her,” Shane replied, meeting his eyes. “She has no idea the pleasures that await her.

  “I’m not sure she’s going to be open to all my suggestions,” Tavish ran his eyes over Shane.

  “What woman wouldn’t want two men in her bed?” Cameron protested. “No reason you can’t share him. That’s for later on. Right now you two need to be alone.”

  “I’m going to wait on that,” Tavish said. “I want her to know how I feel, that it’s just not about sex this time.”

  “God, we’ve done well,” Shane said softly.

  Tavish laughed. “Well, guess you’re off.”

  “Um, we’ll see each other again,” Cameron said, hugging him.

  Shane hugged him too, then kissed him softly on the lips.

  Tavish cast them a glance as he left. He felt sad, as if he were leaving a part of himself. Maybe he was. He stopped at Cassandra’s room, and they walked together hand and hand outside. “I have to tell you something,” Tavish said suddenly.

  “What is it?”

  “Well, the thieves have escaped.”

  “What? How?” She was getting all excited. Tavish placed his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. “Cassandra, we lost the thieves, but we found something far greater. We found each other, and I’m in love with you.”

  Cassandra melted against him. Looking up into his eyes, she said, “Oh Tavish, don’t you know that I’m in love with you too?”

  He held her close, and kissed her passionately on the mouth. He laughed. “I’m happy,” he said. “I’m so damn happy for the first time in a long time.”

  “Me too,” she replied, taking his hand. And as they walked along in the sunlight, overhead, Shane and Cameron looked down on them from their hovercraft. “So, how long do you think they’ll last?” Cameron asked Shane.

  Shane leaned over and kissed Cameron on the lips. “Oh, just about as long as we have.”

  Cameron wrapped her arms around Shane and sighed. “That’s eternity, love, eternity.”

  The End.
