Chapter 8
Ebony and Ivory
*Wham*
Jayce abandons the door and bolts for his, reefing the handle towards him. Unfortunately the door holds tight, and after another attempt at pulling and once pushing, he hears the Mistress shout once more from behind her door. With no options left, Jayce leaps to the side, flinging open Nikki's door and slamming it just as fast. Not waiting to hear if The Mistress breaks down her door, the man hurriedly dashes into the maze of white.
Bouncing off walls as he hurtles round the corners, Jayce holds a decent speed. Unfortunately dead ends start cropping up more regularly as he pushes further into the maze, until he eventually trips over a plush star and goes bouncing off a dead end into a blanket. The blanket gives way to thin air, Jayce falling another ten feet to the floor below. He bounces badly, twisting himself awkwardly as he attempts to get to his feet.
Another level of maze lies here, directly beneath the first. Looking up he can see where pathways cross over and alongside the ones underneath. He shakes his head, trying to mentally remove the pain in his side as he stumbles off down another corridor. A left, then a right, another left; maze protocol etched in his brain from hundreds of mental exercises is completely lost as Jayce fights the passageways for survival. A leg impedes his progress as Jayce trips, falling face first onto a plush rhombal prism.
Wide eyed, Jayce quickly scans upwards, his panic fading to relief as a startled Nikki stares back at him, wielding a stuffed fractal shape as an improvised weapon until she too recognises the newcomer. 'Yay!' She squeals with joy, reaching over to hug him. The man winces from the touch, Nikki pulling away to see the traces of blood dripping from the open wound on his shoulder. 'Jayce?'
The man sits up, breathing heavily he calms himself and looks into Nikkis eyes. 'Im sorry, I had nowhere else to run.' His words leak out, the exhaustion flowing with them as he remembers he need not breathe here. Jayce closes his eyes, a small tear forming as he thinks about how he's now endangered Nikki. 'I shouldn't be here. I don't want you to get hurt.'
'Shush shush shhhhh...' Nikki slides over next to him, allowing Jayce to recline against the wall, the invitation of rest gladly accepted by the bloodied man. Jayce sneakily covers his still erect member with the rhombus as the woman searches for a good sized blanket within reach. Throwing it over the two of them, she creates a small cave, the floor sinking slightly until they're laying against the wall of a space no bigger than the inside of an elevator, but half the height; above them the blanket rests in what looks like the corner of a dead end. 'Better?'
Jayce nods as he turns to Nikki, giving her a powerful hug; ignoring the cut. 'Thank you...' He whispers, voice shaking from the chase before. She sits shocked for a moment, but returns his affection; resting her head on his shoulders long enough for both of them to sigh in unison. Relaxing they pull away from the embrace.
'What happened?' The woman asks, her words fraught with worry 'You've been gone for ages. I wanted us to play hide and seek.' She smiles nervously, but reassuringly.
Jayce exhales, running a hand through his sweat dampened hair. 'I got dragged into Kat's room-' Nikki raises an eyebrow with a somewhat disapproving look. 'Aaaand then the Mistress found us.' He decided it best not to elaborate on the happenings in-between. 'She chased us through her room- "rooms", until we made our way back into the round room outside.' Jayce's brow furrows. 'I told Kat to hide in her room while I run off, hoping to drag the Mistress into my room. But-'
'Oh no,' Nikki sighs 'you couldn't open the door?'
'Wouldn't move an inch.' He looks away from Nikki, embarrassed as to his next decision. 'The way we came into that room with the four doors, disappeared. And I panicked. I ran through the next door. Your door. I'm- I'm sorry...'
'Shhhhh.... It's okay' Nikki leans Jayce towards her, placing his head on her shoulder and patting it. 'I don't think the Mistress will ever-' her sentence breaks as the light changes slightly; the wall behind them darkened by the silhouette of the mistress striding through the maze. Nikki instinctively jumps into Jayce's lap, wrapping his arms around her almost as if she was trying to roll the two of them into a tight ball. Her back to his chest, they play dead.
The woman's movements have an unfortunate consequence; the rhombal cushion shielding Jayce's naked crotch is flung out of the way in the flurry of motion. Jayce realises first that his rigid cock is now pressed between Nikki's firm thighs, but she's not far behind. The two stay frozen in place as Jayce's cock twitches; neither wanting to make a sound as the silhouette of the Mistress stands arms akimbo. It feels like forever until the shadow once again starts moving down the soft corridors, the two figures no longer tense from her appearance, but now stuck in a very strange dilemma.
'I-is that?...'
'Yes... Umm...' Jayce can think of no other words. His heart is screaming "sorry" but his brain thankfully won't let it out. He decides truth is best, and does his best to make sure he's only holding Nikki in this position with the force that she is supplying, his muscles noticeably relaxing but still holding in place. 'Kat gave me something, and it won't go down...' The cock twitches again, straining to push against Nikkis moist lips with its shaft; the head held firmly between her thighs.
