CHAPTER 9
"Awesome!" Jo said, sounding like Alex had just told her they were going to Disneyland. She jumped up from where she sat, disengaging her hand from his. Grabbing her glass, she headed toward the bar and then paused. "Nope," she said. "No more booze. I don't want any psychic Saran Wrap, I want to be as open and receptive to this as I can be. God, I feel like I should be freaked out, but I'm not. How are you doing, daddy-o?"
"Oh, I'm great," Alex assured her, even though he knew she couldn't hear him. "The performance anxiety is killing me, but otherwise I'm fine."
"Let's make this romantic," Jo said as she set about grabbing wood for the fireplace. "We've had a lovely couple of first dates, so let's do this one right." She prepared the fire and lit it with a long match from the container on the mantlepiece. As it began to blaze away, she ran to the kitchen and returned with some candles.
"You really love candles..." Alex began.
"I love candles", Jo said almost simultaneously. "Hope you don't mind. If we're going to build an emotional connection, we both need to get as into this as we can. Into the sex
and
into each other."
"You really know a lot about this," Alex observed. "I don't know, maybe I
was
a square. I can definitely say that I've never met a woman like you." Jo ignored him and practically skipped over to her computer.
"This is my favorite playlist," Jo grinned, accidentally looking right where Alex was standing. "'Music To Fuck By'. Let's see, I'm in a playful mood. Miss Donna's a good warm up." A song that Alex recognized started to play as Donna Summer moaned orgasmically in the opening to 'Love To Love You Baby'. "This is the one I get going with when I'm feeling extra amorous and want to get right into it. And
damn
, do I want to get into it with you. I hope you're feeling the same."
"Jo," Alex replied, indicating the Quija board. "If I could make that thing move without you touching it, I'd be spelling out
so
many dirty words right now." He moved closer and put his arms around her, phantom hands caressing her womanly curves and giving her butt a squeeze.
"Alex, that
better
be you," Jo said. "Are you grabbing my ass?" Alex took this as encouragement and moved closer so he could press his lips to hers and fondle a breast. Jo shivered and said, "I'll take that as a 'yes'. Wow, I haven't even concentrated on opening myself up to you yet, and I swear I can feel that. Keep doing what you're doing, I just have to read one thing. I was going to grab myself a toy, but I don't think I'm going to need one." Jo moved to the couch where her copy of '
Talking To Spirit
' lay. Alex joined her as she popped the book open, turning to the page with surprisingly detailed step-by-step instructions on 'How to safely open yourself to spirits'.
"Alex, here's what I propose... okay,
now
you're just trying to turn me on." He was playing with her nipples to get her to lose her clinical demeanor. It worked. "We do this together, maybe we can meet halfway. I'm not sure how this works and it'll probably take a few tries, but I'm more than happy to practice safe sex until we get it right. How about you?"
"I'm game to try anything, Jo," Alex answered her, looking over her shoulder at the book as his hands continued their eager explorations.
"I'm going to take that as another yes," Jo said with a contented sigh. "Holy shit, I can't wait to get started with this. Okay, step one. Intention plays the part. I have to
want
to connect with you and you have to want to connect with me. The stronger our desire to communicate, the easier I'll be able to see and hear you across 'The Barrier', whatever that means. I haven't read that part yet." Jo suddenly inhaled with a small gasp as Alex stimulated her erogenous zones. "Alex, would you like me to take my shirt off or something?"
In his way, Alex indicated that he absolutely did, so Jo unbuttoned her sweater and pushed it off her shoulders to leave herself clad in a filmy bra. Alex helped as best he could as her eagerness for this "experiment" was contagious as hell. Then he set to fondling her with one less layer between them. Jo shivered again, though she smiled as though finding the sensation pleasant, and turned her eyes back to the book.
"Step two," Jo read aloud. "Open yourself up, and I don't mean just my legs. I have to open my mind to receive your messages, and since we're doing this together, you try to open up and send to me. Basically, you're going to be mindfucking me and I'll be doing my best to help."
"I want to receive
you
as well," Alex said. He moved closer, letting a bit more of his ethereal body overlap her physical one.
"Whatever you're doing," Jo said with a sharp inhale on the last word, "Keep doing it. You're
definitely
on the right track. Step three, perceive with an open mind. Yeah, but that's more if you're going to be communicating using symbols and colors and we're
way
past that. Step four, use all your senses."
Jo turned her face in Alex's direction with surprising accuracy. "I'm adding a step five. Bear with me here, this is what I believe. Energy, both positive and negative, is very real and affects us in a very real way. Sexual energy is especially powerful shit, people have been doing sex magick for centuries. Among a million other things, it forms bonds between people on a spiritual level. This is a little Tantra, a little psychology, and a lot of shit I made up myself, so take it as you will. The point is, it's as much about the
connection
we make as the sex we have. This is going to sound corny, but I want you to try to fall in love with me and just use the sex to show me how much. I'm going to try to do the same with you. That's how we channel the energy."
Now Jo was being frank and clinical about something as complicated as the emotion of love. But whatever they were doing seemed to be working from the way her body responded to Alex's strokes and caresses. "I didn't know there was such a science to it," he said. "But okay, positive energy, desire, open mind, all senses, more positive energy, got it." Alex leaned forward and kissed Jo full on the mouth, heightening the pace of his groping a little further. Once again, her response was a sharp inhale.
"You just kissed me, right? Oh yeah, you did..." Jo opened her mouth as Alex embraced her with more ferocity. "We're so fucking close already. I can almost feel you, like for
real
. Come on, let's move down to the floor. I've been wanting to roll around on that rug with someone since I saw it, and I can't think of anyone I'd rather do it with. I'm going to leave the rest of my clothes on right now, but I'm sure you'll find a way to tell me when you want me to take them off." Jo got up from the couch and moved over to the soft fur rug spread in front of the fireplace, kneeling to prepare to lie down. Before she could, Alex happily surrendered to his desire and grabbed her from behind, kissing her neck in the spot he knew she liked.
"Oh...
someone's
