Crazy Seduction(erotica)

He looked back at the front door and saw a crowd standing there.

“Uh, everyone who doesn’t want to get soaked with Wild Magic should go inside as I’m about to launch a spell with a lot of it. Better yet, step back through your door downstairs. We’ll knock when it’s over.” Michelle immediately rushed inside though she wasn’t really at risk. She was followed by Siobhan, who likely wanted to avoid the brightness for her magic vision. Chris and his kids, who were at risk, were shepherded along by Beth. “Dayshia, can you let us know when they are all through?” Henry asked. With a nod, Dayshia followed them in.

Camila joined Henry on the gravel drive. “What are you going to do?” she asked eagerly. Meixiu joined them.

“I’m gonna put up a domed shield over the property. It won’t let anyone past it, and it’s ballistic proof, too. It also has the spell from the front windows to hide everyone inside it,” he said. He looked to Meixiu. “How big should I make it?”

“To the road ahead. To the stream to our left. To the wire fence to our right. As far behind as you want,” she said, and Henry nodded.

“How do you know how to do this?” Camila asked.

He shook his head. “I just have Baba’s spells, and I can feel when it will work. It’s like working with computer hardware… and programming combined. The language of the spells… they appear as code to me, and I can parse code in my head like no one else,” he said with a grin.

He saw Dayshia return and nod. “Okay, everyone back inside.”

With reluctant pouts, Camila and Meixiu joined the others in the mansion.

Henry closed his eyes and prepared the spell/code in his mind. He would load it with magic to keep it in place for a few days. He could always recharge it later.

When he was ready, he looked to the control on his rift. He would open it all the way as he wanted the dome to be super strong, and it needed to be inflated fast, or it would just collapse.

He held his hands out and looked inwards, and eased the zipper down. It took a lot of strength to control the gradual opening as the energy wanted out! Once it was wide open, Henry brought the spell forward and invited the Wild Magic to join with it. The dome exploded outwards from him in all directions, climbing up and over the mansion in a flash to expand outwards. He felt it reach the road and stop, the fence and stream and stop. It traveled a mile back through the woods behind the mansion before he made it end there.

He opened his eyes and realized it was no longer snowing. He looked up and caught the wisps blowing around on the energy shield. He closed his eyes again and willed it to allow all forms of weather through, and down came the snow once more. Feeling the dome’s shape, he realized it was more like one of those oblong winter tennis court tents. He fed more of his energy into it, and it suddenly began to glow like the sun. He quickly pulled back on the power until the dome was invisible once more.

His head was spinning as he now contained too much energy. He needed to dump it, so he walked all the way to the end of the driveway and stepped through the energy field. The road was empty, and no one was in sight, so he aimed his hands down the winding road and released the excess energy in a blast of radiant heat. When he felt his energy levels dropping to normal, he stopped the heat blast and saw the road and surrounding area were free of snow and steamed gently. He made his way back to the house.

Standing before the home, he knew he had to close the rift, or he’d be putting the Nelson family at risk. He closed his eyes, looked within, and struggled to close the zipper. It took so much effort, but finally, it closed, and he dropped to his knees, panting. He felt a gentle hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Marisa smiling down at him.

“You did amazingly well. Siobhan tells me the flow is still getting stronger. You might not be able to use that zipper control much longer.”

Henry nodded. “I only barely managed to close it this time. I need something much stronger. A hydraulic door to a vault, maybe. I’ll think about it.”

“Is it safe to come out?” Kristen called out.

Henry nodded as he pushed himself to his hooves. Marisa waved for everyone to come out. “I’m going back inside,” she said as Henry squeezed her hand in thanks and turned to face Kristen, Tish, and the others. “The dome over the property lets the weather in and wildlife, but no drones, people, or bullets. Hell, meteors wouldn’t get through.” He sighed as he rolled his neck to get the stiffness out. “It also hides anyone on the inside from being visible from the outside.” He smiled at the excited kids. “Play to your heart’s content.”

“Where are the boundaries?” Brian asked.

Henry pointed away from the house. “To the road, about five hundred yards that way.” He pointed left. “To the stream that marks the edge of the property, four hundred yards.” He pointed right. “To the fence between the properties, about three hundred yards that way. And a mile into the forest behind the house.” He turned himself in the direction of the front door. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going back for a second breakfast as I’ve built up an appetite.”

On his way to the door, he smiled at the happy sound of the kids running around in the snow. Danny, Emily, and Tommy rushed out of the house to join the others, all bundled up in their snow pants and jackets and gloves. The Satyr kids were in kilts and light jackets. It was quite the difference.

Henry went inside and shook off the snow. Meixiu was immediately by his side with a fluffy towel. He dried himself off and gave her a kiss for thanks. She skipped away happily.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

He pointed himself in the direction of the kitchen in his quest for food.

Minkah had endured the long voyage from Cairo to New York, and her nerves were feeling a little brittle. She still wasn’t sure of her intent when she finally found Henry. Her feelings were all mixed up in her head.

On the one hand, he’d broken his word to her. He’d promised to stay by her side while he was in her custody. He’d fled to Mab’s castle to rescue the Succubus. She was irrationally pissed he’d ignored her orders, again!

But he’d fought Mab and defeated her. The cost of that battle had been too high, but he completed it. She couldn’t have been more impressed at his ability to complete the mission in light of that. It was exactly the level of resolve she strived to achieve herself. He’d proven he could be equal to her in that. This made her feel… things. Things she hadn’t felt before.

Then he’d committed the ultimate sin. He’d gotten himself killed before she could address her feelings for him. The part of her mind that clung to his being alive beyond what had clearly been his death felt like a snide little burr inside her brain. Punishing her for doubting, for giving up.

Exiting from the path station, she rushed her steps down the walkway towards his building. Someone was entering the outer door, so she opened up her effort to an all-out run and managed to catch the inner door before it closed and locked. She rushed inside and took the elevator with the unsettled tenant. She stared at the small man who was gaping back at her.

“What is it, little man?” she snapped.

He just pointed to his face and to the mirrored panel on the elevator wall. She looked at her reflection and saw she wasn’t wearing her glamor. She was Bastet in all her glory. This was another sign of her unraveling.

The door opened on the seventh floor, and the man rushed out.

She tried to calm herself and reengage the glamor, but the elevator dinged when it reached the ninth floor, and she was pushing her way out the door and running down the hall. She thumped her fist on his door and heard a squeak on the other side. The peephole darkened for a second, and there was another exclamation of surprise.

The door suddenly pulled open, and Michelle Beaumont was staring at her in shock.

“Ms. Meskhenet! You were right! Henry wasn’t dead! Well, he was, but he explained to us that he hadn’t left his body.”

Minkah was trembling, quakes rushing through her body. She could smell him. “Where is he?”

“He’s at Meixiu’s mansion in upper New York-”

“NO!” Minkah cried.

The woman watched her carefully. “Are you okay?”

Minkah took a long slow breath, and that seemed to center her enough to answer. “Sorry, yes. Where-where is this mansion?”

Michelle nodded as she assessed the Bastet. “In a moment, we’ll be able to step through a Magic Door and be there. You’ll see him momentarily.”

Minkah sighed in relief and nodded as another tremor went through her body, but she kept that hidden.

“Henry is putting a shield over the mansion to protect the kids playing in the snow?” Michelle explained.

It sounded like gibberish to Minkah’s scattered thoughts, but she picked up protect the kids, which resonated with her seeing Henry with the baby in the video. “What kids?”

“Tish’s sibling’s families. So many children and all of them are Fauns,” Michelle smiled happily, and this eased the anxiety in Minkah a little.

The knock on the closet door sent another spike through her, and she must have made a noise as Michelle’s eyes flicked to her before she opened the closet door.

The one named Dayshia was talking as the door opened. “Sorry Michelle, I forgot to knock on your door after I got my sister and her super excited kids back and upstairs. Henry’s done-OH! Who are you?”

“Henry’s done?” Minkah blurted.

“This is Minkah,” Michelle said to her roommate.

“Oh! Minkah! Yes, Henry’s done making the shield. Welcome back!”

The Bastet leapt through the door, slipping past Dayshia, and took a scent. She raced up the stairs.

She was hunting Satyr.
