“Damn,” Aubrey said, putting her hand on my bare back and sliding it down to my ass.
I rotated to my right and found Aubrey, ready for me. I touched Benji’s breast with my left hand as I grabbed the back of Aubrey’s head with my right, kissing her just as strong as I did with Benji.
Aubrey moaned into my mouth and slid her tongue in between my lips.
Kara nuzzled against me to my left, rubbing my back. Benji pushed me backward and Aubrey and Kara helped ease me onto my back, where I lay stretched out on the sheet. I straightened my legs as Benji repositioned on top of me.
Kara and Aubrey stayed to my sides and took their hands off my body. They both had big grins, as if their friend was about to open some grand birthday present.
“What?” I asked.
“I’m just excited for this,” Kara said.
“Go for it, Benji,” Aubrey said, with hunger in her eyes.
Benji bit her bottom lip and then put her hand around my cock.
“I want you in me,” Benji said. “I’m sorry I didn’t do this the first day.”
“Oh, wow, I love this,” Kara said. “Would you two mind if I guide him into you? I just want to be part of this moment.”
“Um, if it’s okay with Jack,” Benji said.
“Yeah, it’s okay with me.”
Aubrey took up position behind Benji and slid her hands around Benji, touching her lower stomach while Kara had her hand on me. While incredibly sexy, I found some humor in this moment—the girls were just so happy to be having Benji fuck me for the first time. It felt sweet and was something that I wouldn’t even have had the guts to fantasize about in my old life.
“Do I need to spit on it?” Kara said, mouth-watering as she stared.
“Oh, I don’t think so,” Benji said and then laughed. “I’ve never had so much attention. Where were you guys for my first time?”
I watched as Benji positioned herself just over me. Kara guided the tip against her, and I felt the warm wetness of her.
“If you don’t start fucking him, I’m going to,” Aubrey said, and with that, Benji slid down on me, taking all of me in.
I gasped at the feeling of her, wet and scorching hot. She moaned out, and the pureness of sharing something so amazing with another left me breathless.
I sat up, needing to kiss her while I moved in motion with her. Kara and Benji both pushed me back down on my back, and Kara smacked my chest.
“Oh my God,” Benji said as she pushed hard against me. “You feel so good.”
Kara slid her tongue over the part of my chest she just smacked, wetting it and then blowing over it, sending a chill over me. She smiled and bit my nipple just enough that it hurt then moved further up, kissing me.
Benji kept her motions going with increasing speed. This overstimulation wasn’t going to give me any stamina records tonight—I needed to pace myself.
I grabbed her waist and moved back, pulling Benji off me. I sat up, kissing her for a moment before turning her around and bending her over. I got on my knees behind her, and Aubrey scooted up next to me, kissing me and touching my wet penis. Benji reached back between her legs, grabbed my dick and pulled me inside her. She moaned and pushed against me hard.
Kara, who was on her knees left of Benji, pulled Aubrey from me and started kissing her over Benji’s glistening back. The two smiled a stared at me as their lips touched.
They kissed each other, softly at first, and then Kara’s tongue slid against Aubrey’s upper lip. They were unreal and I took a quick breath in just to keep from exploding right then.
I reached down and grabbed Kara’s thigh. She let out a squeak but I needed her closer. I needed to touch her. I found Kara’s slick heat and slid my fingers along her. She moaned as I rubbed her.
Kara got on her hands and knees right next to Benji, giving me a fantastic view of her ass and glistening opening. I slid my fingers in her and she pushed back on them, moaning again.
“This is too fucking hot,” Aubrey said, looking almost pale with ecstasy. “Is it okay if I touch myself?”
“Yes, but I want to touch you,” I said, breathing hard.
It wouldn’t be long now.
“I want to touch myself while I watch you in her,” Aubrey said, bending down and resting her head on Benji’s ass.
Her beautiful face, right over Benji’s ass, while I had my finger in a tight Kara, made me want to explode right then. But I slowed down. Each pump into Benji sent a small ripple over her ass onto Aubrey’s face. She scooted closer to me, just inches from my stomach each time I went all the way into Benji.
“Put it in my mouth,” Aubrey said, opening her mouth and showing her tongue and bright white teeth. “I want it.”
I pulled out and glided it into her mouth. She moaned as she kept touching herself and holding me in her mouth.
“Just a few times in me, please,” Kara said. “Just get me over the edge.” She breathed hard and moaned loud as I worked a third finger into her.
“Do it,” Benji said, looking back at me with her sweaty, cute face. “Fuck her.”
I left Aubrey’s incredible mouth and shifted over to Kara, while moving my hand over to Benji. Aubrey grabbed my hand and sucked on my fingers, running her tongue over them before guiding them into Benji.
Hard and ready to explode, I guided myself along Kara’s small backside. I felt her wet, slick heat as I inched my way into her.
“Yes,” Kara moaned out.
She felt…amazing. Different than Benji. Almost electric down there, as if she had muscles in places I didn’t know about. As I worked her slowly, I felt her tighten against me with each moan.
“Fuck me hard,” Kara said.
I slammed into her, feeling Aubrey smack my ass in encouragement. In only a few seconds, I felt an already-tight Kara clench around me.
“I going to cum!” she screamed out, rippling around me.
I almost came in her but held it back and slowed to a pace that wouldn’t push me off the cliff.
“Oh my God, thank you.” Kara slid forward, and shook on the sheet next to Benji.
I didn’t waste a second and went right back into Benji. I moved quicker this time, and without trying to hold anything back. Aubrey still had her face right on Benji’s back as I went all the way into Benji. A bit of saliva dripped from Aubrey’s mouth and ran a trail along Benji. She licked Benji, just above her hole.
“This will get her to cum,” Aubrey said, sliding her tongue against Benji’s backdoor.
I felt Benji tighten, and Aubrey smiled while keeping eye contact with me. She was moaning harder now as well, her hand working herself in a flurry.
“Now, Jack, now,” Aubrey said, her face contorting as her orgasm got closer.
“Finish with me,” Benji said, reaching between her legs and touching my balls.
Benji moaned much louder as she went into her orgasm. I couldn’t hold off one more second. I didn’t want to. Aubrey’s pretty face, her tongue…I pulled out, pumping a burst onto her mouth and tongue, then another.
After several more, I grabbed Benji’s ass for balance, shuddering with the final waves of my orgasm. Much of my efforts ran down Aubrey's mouth and along Benji’s ass.
Aubrey smiled, licking her lips and then some of it off Benji’s ass.
“So fucking hot,” Aubrey said.
“I want to,” Kara panted, trying to catch her breath, “be under Benji next time.”
That sounded amazing to me. “Give me a minute, and I can make that happen.”
Benji moved down to the sheet and lay on her stomach. “That was so good.”
A stick of fire dropped from the ceiling and hit the floor next to our sheet. The impact sent a few embers around it, and a strong smell of smoke hit the room. The small piece of wood had a flame rising from the embers.
“What the fuck?” I ran, grabbed Ben’s chair, and stamped out the stick with one of the legs.
The girls were all on their feet now.
“What was that?” Aubrey said, wiping her face with the sheet while she looked at the ceiling.
“Cock block fire is what that was,” Kara said, looking pissed.
“Fuck, a boat,” Benji said, pointing frantically at the screens.
The odd phrase and post-sex euphoria turned suddenly into fire stick time, left me struggling to process what she had just said.
Benji stared at the TV wall, and then it clicked. I dropped the chair and stared at the screen with her, thinking a second ago that nothing could take my attention off the naked women in this room.
On the middle screen of the TV wall was a picture of a white sandy beach and ocean waters beyond. On the water was a ship, and not just any ship, but the ship.
Chapter 16
“Jack!” Kara said.
“Just a second,” I said, staring at the screen as the smell of smoke wafted toward me.
The fire became less important than what was on that screen. I could barely breathe.
The screen flickered as the ship went by, and I waited for it to make that turn, allowing me to see the stern and, hopefully, the written words I knew well. It turned as if responding to my wishes, and the large letters across the back nearly stopped my heart. Veronica.
“That’s the Veronica. That’s Victoria Brown’s, Eliza’s mom’s, my…our ship. It’s out there!” I said, pointing at the screen with an unblinking stare.
“Holy shit,” Aubrey said. “It is.”
“Jack! There’s a fire in the kitchen,” Kara said, standing at the doorway. “I’m getting the others.” She rushed out of the room and closed the door behind her.
“Get Eliza!” Benji yelled back.
“Remember this screen,” I said to Aubrey and Benji.
We studied the black and white image even as the Veronica faded from the screen. I needed to know where this was. Then an island that looked to have a land bridge on it came into focus in the background as the Veronica moved to the side of the screen. I squinted and leaned closer to the screen, wishing I could use my fingers to zoom in on it.
It looked like the land bridges in Arizona, made from thousands of years of erosion. How an island could have such a feature seemed remarkable and, hopefully something that Shaya would know. Someone would have to know where that was, and then we’d be one step closer to finding Eliza’s mom. I had as many questions for her as I would the king, probably more. She knew about this place. She raised a daughter here, and in some way, got off these islands and then found a way to get back here, with all of us in tow.
Then the power went out, and the room went nearly black, save the few embers still on the floor.
I felt a sweaty body next to me—Aubrey’s. She smacked the screen.
“Come on,” Aubrey said. “Not now.”
Kara opened the door, and a soft orange glow of a flickering light came in with her. Sherri rushed into the room past Kara, coughing and holding her hand over her mouth. The lights in the room popped back on and the TV clicked back on with varying degrees of speed. They crackled with static, and I turned back to them, searching the one that held the Victoria.
“No wonder you can’t smell all that smoke. The smell of sex in here is overwhelming,” Sherri said, taking a deep breath. “Now, if you fuckers can get your clothes on, we need to get the hell out of here.”
“We saw it,” Aubrey said.
“Saw what?” Cass asked, coming into the room.
“The ship! Our ship. The Veronica.”
“My mom?” Eliza said, pushing past Cass and rushing toward me.
I pointed at the screen.
“Get Shaya in here,” I said as Eliza got close to the screen. “Right there, that’s the Veronica and I bet your mom’s on it.”
The ship, now far away, composed of no more than a dozen pixels now, at the edge of the screen, but Eliza placed a few fingers on the screen, and I saw the tears in her eyes building.
“My mom,” Eliza choked out.
I was getting emotional as well, feeling the water building in my eyes…or maybe it was the growing smoke cloud stinging them.
Holy shit, this whole room was filling with smoke.
“Shaya,” I said as she came into the room.
I pointed at the screen and the far-off island with the land bridge.
“Do you know where this is?”
She shook her head and took more than a few glances down at my naked body.
“I think I know who would,” Shaya said and then stood, pointing at another screen. “Surrounded. Crultar.” She pointed up and then back to the screen and then up again.
Being so focused on the ship, I hadn’t glanced at the other screens—especially the ones on this island. A camera high above the door we entered through gave a wide-angle view of the hill. The Crultar men surrounded the entrance. Some were going into the stairs, but some were searching the grounds with torches. They got on their knees and were stuffing fire-sticks into the ground. Another stick fell from the ceiling and bounced on the floor near Sherri.
“We’re under attack,” I said.
I closed my eyes and felt them up there, just a hint of them. Too far away for me to control them, but I knew they were there.
In a way, I was relieved. They didn’t appear to have any humans with them, and without that, they didn’t have any more surprises. They could probably get through the eel aquarium, but that multi-layered door would have been more than they were capable of moving.
Kara tossed me my clothes, and I put them on in a rush.
Carmen came into the room, coughing. “It’s too smoky to even see in the hall now. The bedroom’s on fire. I barely made it here.”
“Aubrey, can you do anything? Like push the smoke to the side, so we can get to the wishing well?”
“I can try,” she said as she adjusted her bikini top.
She stepped forward, and I felt air blowing down on me from above. I looked up and noticed a small grate in the ceiling. The clean air filled the room and much of the smoke dissipated.
“Just keep behind me,” Aubrey said. “I think I can keep us in a bubble of circulated air.”
We grouped around Aubrey, and I stepped out of the TV room, taking one last look at the screens before stepping into the inferno.
Chapter 17
Aubrey was balls-out awesome as we entered the kitchen. The smoke in front of her swirled, and sparks flew around the vortex, and just when I thought she was going to lose control of it all, the noxious cloud moved and created a tunnel of fresh air for us to move in.
A wind blew at our back, all controlled by Aubrey. The smoke cleared out, but the extra wind acted like bellows on the already large flames, igniting them into an inferno.
The kitchen cabinets blazed with fire, and I wanted to cry, looking at all the utensils, plates, cups, and everything sitting in flames.
“Move faster!” Carmen yelled. “We’re going to burn in here.”
Aubrey didn’t respond but pushed into the smoke, creating a longer tunnel for us.
The fuckers up there, sending their fire down here like a bunch of cowards. The king or that crazy lady, Lyra, probably sent them here. Liquid fire poured down from a vent pipe and splashed over the stove, igniting more flames. The heat slapped against us, and I held my hands up, trying to block the heat from my face.
The girls screamed at the increased temperature, and we pushed ahead, shoving Aubrey forward.
I stayed back, counting heads as we left the kitchen and into the hallway. The hallway had more smoke but way less heat. The kitchen behind us crackled and popped as the flames destroyed the room. A boom came from somewhere behind us and Carmen grabbed me.
Her hot, sweaty body shook against mine, and I thought I heard her crying. I buried her head in my chest and moved with the group further into the hall.
The bedroom door had smoke pouring out from it. Smoke hid most of the room, but I could hear the raging fire inside.
“Get to the wishing well,” I said,
half carrying Carmen down the hall.
The smoke swirled around in the hall, and we lost the safe tunnel of clean air Aubrey had created. I coughed as my eyes stung from the thick smoke. I pushed forward a few feet, and the air got cleaner the closer I got to Aubrey. Then the power went out again.
The flames became our light, and it lit the hallway up well. I looked back to the kitchen and family room area, feeling the heat building in the hallway from it. Even if the fire didn’t move into the hall, as stone didn’t burn, there was another thing stone was good at—conduction. The stone walls, floors, and ceiling would be like a wood-fired pizza oven. They would eventually cook us alive.
The kitchen flames blazed at the doorway, and I knew if we had spent another minute in there, we’d be killed. That also meant the door we came in on, we couldn’t get to. We still had a few more options, though. Hopefully, the next one would work.
Aubrey opened the door to the last room in the hall, the one with water well and fish. She held the door for us, pushed the smoke-filled air back, and as we entered the room, I took my first clear breath since leaving the TV room.
Aubrey slammed the door and sent the room into darkness.
I let go of Carmen, and she dropped to her knees, coughing. I rubbed her sweaty back for a second and then gave her space to cool off.
My eyes adjusted to the darkness quick enough to notice a soft glow coming from the well. It lit up the room as well as a few glow sticks might, but it was enough for us to see each other.
All the girls were coughing, falling to the floor, or hunched over, dripping with sweat. I breathed in, then coughed out, feeling a burning sensation with each breath. The smell of smoke made me spin to the door. Even with it closed, a stream of smoke poured in from the edges.
“Is anyone hurt?” I asked, looking over them.
Most shook their heads in a negative.
“Singed the hairs on my arm,” Kara said.
“Please, like you have any hair on that body of yours,” Aubrey said, and cough laughed.
