One Foot In

Chapter 8 – Facing our demons

A/N: Fri. Evening. A little under 24 hours ago, I finished this novel. It has 12 chapters. I won’t put all the chapters up at one time because I have a couple of other projects going and I always hope that I might garner a few more reviews in the meantime. I do believe that I shall be able to finish posting the remaining chapters by a week from today. I do have to take the time to read through each chapter carefully, because even though it’s a rough draft, some of those typos can really kill meaning.

Thanks again for everyone who has been reading!

I ran up the subway steps. We had reached Soho and there were quite a few cabs available. I hailed one and gave him a nearby avenue to the building as a destination. With all those rescue workers, I didn’t think I’d get near the building itself, then again, I didn’t know if the activity, if they were demons, had stayed there.

I got out and paid the driver. Things were quiet except for the sound of cars in the distance. That in itself seemed very wrong. New York City is not a quiet place. There is always a certain level of ambient sound.

Then the lights blinked off. I could see to the North, East and South lights were still on, it was just on the blocks West of me. The very direction I was heading in.

Suddenly, it found me. It was the demon I had summoned Mr. Green Light if you could call him anyt.
.

“Why are you here?” I was straining my neck looking up at him.

“I followed you,” he boomed.

“Why?”

“I want some more. You say I could not stay there, so I came to you.”

“I don’t understand.” Man, these creatures from other dimensions were tough to get rid of...

“I enjoy your energy.” Okay, I’ve heard pretty interesting pick up lines in my time but…

“You summoned me and yet cheat me of any tribute.”

“I summoned you and told you I had nothing to offer. You didn’t have go there if you didn’t like the deal. You could have said, sorry Charlie. But you showed up, which meant ygreegreed.” Where did I learn to do this? You’ve never seen my mom at a garage sale. I learned to haggle from the best.

“I followed your bidding because I was intrigued by you. Your energy is quite unique.”

“Well, that’s nice, so your place or mine?” I repeat, I had no idea of what is going on. I was there in the lovely quaint area of Manhattan known as Chelsea and I was talking to a 30 foot tall mass of energy who just happened to like my style or energy or whatever.

whatwhat do you want from me?” From out of the shadows behind this light fest I saw a familiar figure emerge. I gasped and felt a chill run through me. Oh my God!

“THOR!” But Thor wasn’t responding to me. Something was wrong.

“I am correct in thinking this human has some value to you?”

“He wasn’t part of the deal either, buddy!”

I think the thing laughed. Okay, so I’m out of my league here. The demon of light, energy being whatever “likes” me and wa I d I don’t want to know, from me. And he’s got Thor.

“Release my friend. He’s not yours, he never signed any deal with you.”

“But his soul doesn’t belong to him.”

“Nor you! So cut the crap! You want me? Is that it? Am I some sort of energy snack to you?” I was starting to come a bit undone arothe the edges, if you know what I mean. Damn. It was right at that moment that it hit me. I l Leo Leo! And I loved Thor! No way was I going to choose either one.

And then the swirling masses of what I can only describe as light, started to coalesce and condense and I watched as it entered Thor! I started crying. It seemed a truly evil thing to take all that power and force it into one frail human body. I felt sickened by what was being done to him. I ran to his side.

“Thor, you okay?” He collapsed to his knees.
loo looked up at me. His blue eyes had turned into green sparks of energy. It was like some special effect that you see on television or in the movies. So I guess life did indeed follow art in this case. Thor continued to stare at me and then his mouth began working.

“It is difficult to access this creature’s mind. But now we are on a… more equal footing.”

The words had Thor’s intonation and inflection, but it wasn’t Thor. SHIT! It was an unholy demon possession!!! Where do you find a Catholic Priest in times like that? And yes, I’d seen The Exorcist a half dozen times, who hasn’t?

It reached out its hands to me. “You are very lovely, little one.” That’s right. So he was coming onto me after all.

“Hey, you’re not so bad yourself. It this what you want big guy?” I allowed him to stroke my face. He nodded his approval.

“So you came all the way here because you wanted to knock boots?”

It laughed. It had a sense of humor. Hell, it if hadn’t been for that fact that it came from another dimension and had done lord only knows to that other demon you’d almost think it was human.

“Okay, if that’s what you want. Sure.” I was trying to think this through, but I was in a complete and total panic as well. “But I want Thor to be all right. You’ve got to promise to release him afterwards.”

“And when is afterwards? I could keep him for all eternity and you as well.”

“Well, the thing is, I’m not immortal. I mean I don’t think I am, at least. I know the human part isn’t.”

“Wrong. You do have a soul and it is immortal. You confuse your body with that which goes on.”

“Ohhhh. Right. Like in the Bible. Sure. I understand.” I turned down the offer of a Bat Mitzvah. I hadn’t been to services in like seven years. I broke my mother’s heart on a regular basis living with a Goy. Oh man. I started crying. Yeah, the soul exists and he wanted it for all eternity.

“You are made unhappy by this?”

“Yes. I kind of like where I am right now. And as nice a guy as you obviously are, I really don’t wish to make any long-term commitments. You know, I’d just rather play the field.”

It was still stroking my face. It seemed sad.

“May I enjoy you in your present form for a little while then?” You mean there was a choice?

“Would you leave afterwards? Would you return my friend’s body and give him back his freedom?”

“Yes.”

“I agree to,” I had to figure this out. Too little time and he might choke, but too much time and I couldn’t be sure if Thor would be all right. “allow you to enjoy me until dawn breaks. And you aren’t to do any messing with time. So you’d have all night with me. In the morning you head back to your dimension.”

“Agreed.” It kissed me then. It felt like Thor on my lips. I kissed it back. I could do this. I could do this.

We got up off our knees and began to walk back to the building. We were surrounded by dass ass and I was worried about what had happened to all the rescue workers that had been called to this emergency.

I asked the creature at my side.

“My love. They all sleep. In the morning, they shall wake.” He stopped, bent his head down to me and deep kissed me in a way that curled my toes. I could do this. Eventually, he broke the kiss and I looked behind us and noticed that the lights were coming back on the street as we left the area. That was a good sign. It seemed that the blackout only involved say about 50 yards in front and behind him. I saw, indeed, sleeping rescue workers stretched out ahead of us. I wondered how this would all go down tomorrow.

When we got to the building, to my relief I discovered that it had not been blown up. We went to my room and it started to remove my clothing and then it removed Thor’s clothing as well.

I had never seen Thor naked. It was a revelation. He had tiny raised white scars criss-crossing everywhere. I flinched as I touched them realizing that he probably had at some point or other displeased his master. The demon was more than ready for me and I reached out and touched his massive cock. Thor’s penis was heavily veined and almost purple in places. I rubbed my hands over it and the demon groaned in pleasure.

I felt like I still needed some time to adjust to the idea of my first time being with Thor, as sexy as I found him, really wouldn’t be with him at all. Holding on to him, I brought my mouth over and down on him. The creature gave a loud grunt and his cock seemed to swell even more. I used one hand to guide his penis into my mouth and I placed my other hand on his hip to support myself. I relaxed my throat and took him as deeply as I could, which wasn’t anywhere near all the way. The nickname Big Guy was quite apt!

I established a rhythm of bringing him down my throat and back again. I felt my own arousal build until I was literally twitching between my legs with need. But this was a demon and I had a feeling I was best to draw the sex out. I had a feeling that he was probably going to be good for the whole night. After a while, I brought my hand which had been resting on his hip over to his sac. His balls were a match for the cock, heavy, large and pendulous. I started massaging them, and giving them little squeezes in the same rhythm as my sucking. I was rewarded with more deep grunts and then some moaning as felt his balls start to tighten and lift up in my hands. He was on the verge of coming! My hand that was massing his sac was quite slick from the spit that had been dribbling down his cock and I reached back past his perineum and pressed. Instant geyser!

If one asked if such behavior on my part were morally despicable, I’d argue that to do anything other but to have sex with the enemy would be selfish. He wanted something I had to give and in return I pumped him – for information that is. In between some very interesting and creative sex acts I tried toersterstand the metaphysics of these realms. Why did demons need to be summoned? They didn’t-- but they had a hard time navigating the different planes of existence. Fairies had an easy time of this, but demons, as non-corporeal as they were, tended to get lost.

Human Mages were clever creatures and liked to build Demon Boxes or Summoning Boxes. They thought they had better control over the demons that way, but sometimes the wards cast on the box worked and sometimes not. Since each box was destroyed during a summoning, it wasn’t like one could get it right and keep using that one. And a bad box would usually bring the death of the summoner and that was that.

I got myself quite a bit of useful information. So you have to admit, it was worth a bit of soreness, both in my jaws and down below, to get at such intelligence.

I was left with more questions, though. It seemed to me that my Grandfather had been set up by a certain Mage. I didn’t even have his name, but he’d given the box to the man and encouraged him to use it. Plus the land was riddled with Demons, which couot hot have gotten into our realm unless broughtr byr by other Demon boxes. Did the Demons arrive through a whole bunch of Mages or just one who was taking advantage of local dissention? And what did he get out of it all?

My Demon lover lived up to the reputation of, well, demon lovers. I used my breasts and my hands and my mouth and my thighs. We did it missionary style and with me on top, on the side, standing, squatting. Basically, I could probably have added a couple of chapters to the Karma Sutra by the time the sun rose. I was thankful that my kitchen was fully stocked with lots of fresh Java beans, because I was pulling the all-nighter of all all-nighters. And it was Thor’s body. At one point I had asked, Zanzo, that was as close an approximation of the creature’s name as I could come, if Thor was all right and could I speak with him.

Well, Zanzo is just a prince of a guy. I mean it. He shoved his own personality aside and allowed me to chat with Thor. Though I kind of wish I hadn’t.

Thor was very upset with me, to the point where it was difficult to have a conversation. I wonder sometimes why I attract difficult men. Werewolves, 300-year-old chauvinists, fathers unafraid to use mind control, oh yes, and let’s not forget horny demons!

“Cindy, what the hell do you think your are doing?”

“He’s going to return you back to you. It sounds like a good deal to me.”

“You’re prostituting yourself.”

“NO. I was planning to have sex with you, anyway.”

That shut him up for all of fifteen blissful seconds. “You are not having sex with me. You are having sex with an other dimensional being possessing my body. How dare you deceive me this way?”

It was my turn to be dumfounded. We hadn’t had sex yet, in fact I was unaware of any formalized relationship that he could possibly point to being between us at all. I wasn’t sure how much time we’d have before the demon residing in him decided to take over again, but I hoped it would be long enough to hammer out a few things like…

“I SURE as shooting am not cheating on you because I’m cheating on Leo!”

Thor grabbed my shoulder and shook me, “You aren’t sleeping with Leo are you?”

“NO, we get up to much more than that when in bed together, thanu.” u.”

He shook his head, “He’s not ready yet for a relationship.”

“Oh, and actually, he told me he was. And that you were lying to yourself.”

“No? I’m gonna kill him. After all that mealy mouth stuff about how he’d love Maria forever.”

“Well, he does love her forever, but he wants to marry me.”

“Shit!”

“Yes! I wouldn’t do it until I had a chance to talk to you, of course.” wai waited for him to say something. “I said—“

“I know what you said. What do you want from me? He wants to marry you. What if he’s just marrying you because you are the only Elfish woman available to him? Did you two go over that?

“Well, I thought I’d save it for the honeymoon! You know, for those awkward moments when you are too tired to fuck and don’t know what to talk about.”

“Oh you are funny. So funny. I don’t know why I bother.”

“I don’t know why either!” And we glared at each other. And like magnetism our lips met and locked. It was about then that I sensed the Demon’s return.

“Satisfied?” said the Demon.

“Very,” I smirked. And we got back down to basics. This time I let him be on top, and he had my legs bent all the way up and over my head. All I can say it that it is a very good thing that I am flexible and have an insurance plan which covers chiropractic.

You would think a girl would get tired, but Zanzo, he’d been around. He wasn’t afraid to lick a bit of pussy or other places to render up optimal pleasure to a woman. And he was incredibly talented with Thor’s tongue. Every time I thought that there was no way I’d be able to handle one more round, he gently but skillfully built up the banks of my desire again. I found my mind wondering if we could maybe do this as a semi-regular event, without telling Thor, you know just a rendezvous somewhere quiet and intimate.

I’m sure that Zanzo would go for it. Or even better, maybe we should get married and have baby demons. Demon spawn, oh yes. Zanzo and I could make beautiful music together for all eternity. I was starting to get a little love drunk from all the physical stimulation. It was 5:30 AM and he was still the energizer bunny crossed with a vibrator. I was covered with love bites and hickeys. I wasn’t too sure exactly when the sun would be rising and our tryst would be over, but I wasn’t looking forward to it.

I on mon my knees and holding onto the headboard as he was thrusting into me. He had one hand on my breasts and the other was diddling my clit for all it was worth. I was working myself up into what felt like it had to be the fortieth orgasm of the night when suddenly he screamed and came. Which set me off and I began to pulse too. He held me tightly as his hot magma shot in until it streamed down my legs. I collapsed on my pile of pillows covered in sweat and he draped himself over my body.

“Oh Gods, Zanzo, that was the best yet.” I wasn’t sure if objectively speaking it actually was the best of the evening, but it felt like it.

“Thanks Cindy, but it’s not Zanzo, he just left.”

“Thor? Thor!” I threw my arms around him and began kissing him. I couldn’t believe it-- the demon possession was actually over. “You’re back, you’re back.”

He tolerated it for a few minutes, which I find highly suspect, because then he untangled himself from my arms and looked at me with contempt. “I just don’t understand you, woman.”

I looked right back at him. “Well, life just isn’t as simple as it was 300 years ago, when all you had to do was sell your soul to solve all your problems.” Maybe that was a bit harsh, but I truly felt a little bit hyped and jittery after two pots of coffee.

Thor got up quietly, put on his jockey shorts and walked out. I should have warned him to watch the splinters or not let the door hit him too hard on the way out. Instead I just lay there, grateful that my mission was accomplished and I did indeed have enough information now to redeem my father’s land and make the place demon-free.

However, my problems were just beginning. It being such a small building and all, it was rather hard to keep a secret. Especially from the guy across the hall, who tended to be very possessive of his girlfriends. Leo had returned sometime during the night and though he had been smart enough not to knock, he had gone ahead and listened. I guess what he heard went something like this:

Zanzo: Oh Cindy, you are hot-- hot and I’m going to make you scream for me now.

Cindy: Zanzo, you fucking demon, yes, fuck me harder, do it my love, I want to cum for you!

Zanzo: I can’t hold it, I can’t hold it. Oh I’m cumming Cindy, don’t wait, do it now!

Cindy: (Long scream and sound of bed sheets ripping.) Oh Zanzo, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t, don’t.

Zanzo: (Grunt, grunt)

Cindy: Baby, baby, baby, (and then copious weeping).

Anyhow, I tried to exp tha that Zanzo was actually interested in landing a job on my ex-fiance’s soap opera and all we were doing was rehearsing a script. You know, he had the nerve to say to my face that I was lying and he never wanted to see me again.

And so, that was how I got to meet my demon, piss off Thor and lost Leo.
