Chapter Twenty-Three
James was waiting outside for Carolyn to emerge from the isolation section of her laboratory. When she came through the door and saw him, she ran to him, threw her arms around him and planted a kiss on his lips. "I've missed you so much."
"What a welcome," he smiled, "a man can get used to this."
"I'm feeling tired," she smirked.
"Here," he teased, "I've brought your three georges for you to play with," handing her a bag.
She hit him playfully on the shoulder. "The only george I want is the one between your legs buster and I'm going to get it, understand," she giggled and kissed him again.
"That not a george, it's a James," he laughed.
"Call it what you will, fucked you're going to be," stamping her feet with finality. "I'm wet for you."
"Where's John? Changing the subject in case she jumped on him where they stood, not caring who was walking past.
"Inside working, he hasn't stopped," composing herself a little. "What you said had us thinking and we believe we have the answer, not just the vaccine, but a cure for Ebola. Early days yet, still untested, but our confidence is high."
"Come," placing his arm around her waist, "let's grab some lunch and you can tell me all about it."
"I will include what you said as well, and take it from there. Tardigrades can live and stay active in the body except in the gut where the acids will destroy them. While active in the arteries, the only danger is attack from white and red blood cells, but we have found a way to prevent that from happening to make them compatible and not be attacked while letting the tardigrade attack contaminated cells before they replicate and flood the body with the virus."
James chuckled. "Kiss and make up like friends, have a meal together so to speak," giving her a cheeky grin.
"Stop being facetious and interrupting my train of thought," she chastised, poking her tongue at him and giving his shoulder a little nudge. "Frivolity doesn't become you, James," she smiled.
"I'm only being honest and trying to bring a bit of light humour into it."
"You're being waggish. Let me finish. The creatures are voracious eaters and we've been experimenting in getting them to eat the virus and it has worked, destroying the virus before it has a chance to breed in the body's collagen. The danger is that some of the blood vessels are small and we were concerned that their size could cause a blockage in the smaller arteries leading to a stroke but we think the risk is worth it. Besides, it is used to being in liquid and should be able to navigate out of small spaces without difficulty."
"When will it be ready?"
"Under normal conditions, another year at least, but needs must; we'll be ready to run with it within a few days and hope any side effects will be minimal. There's still a lot of unknowns but we don't have the time. I've contacted Don at the office and he is sending a team of government scientists here in the next few days to help us. The situation in the Canaries is getting out of hand and we need to act quickly. The anonymous warnings we gave have been acted upon with speed. Don has a large team searching for the ghosts and has asked me when I finished here to set up an observation team to track where the information comes from," looking amused.
"I thought they already had a team evaluating that information?"
"They do but this is taking it to a whole new level."
"You need to keep close to it so we know what they're thinking and their game plan. Let's leave that for the present. How are you managing to breed the creatures?"
"We have the strain we want. As you know, there are over a thousand distinct species, and we were lucky to hit upon the correct one we needed almost straight away. We have beds of damp moss laid out on trays, their preferred habitat, so breeding the creatures is posing no problem. We need to get them into the vaccine and inject ourselves, the same for those already infected. Before you say it, the vaccine itself will be of little help after the event but the live creatures are in there and therein lies the cure."
He raised his eyebrows. "What happens when they are cured and the creatures start to breed in the body and decide to start snacking on something else?"
"Short answer, I haven't a clue. We'll have to deal with that somewhere down the road." She thought for a few seconds. "Inject a clearing agent into the body to eject them I suppose. The risks are there, I'll not deny but what are we to do?"
"Run with it and hope for the best, nothing else you can do."
"Let's get some lunch and I'll take a few hours off," she yawned. "I think after lunch we'll need a little sleep."
A quick lunch, within the hour they were naked in bed together. "Tell me about Debra," she purred rubbing her body into him. "Every detail," positioning him on his back and straddling his legs while holding his penis with both hands. "Did she do this to you," moving his foreskin back, "and this," cupping his testicles with her hands. She slid down his legs, rubbing her vagina against them as she moved her head down toward his penis, placed her mouth over it and swallowed it deep into herself quickly pulling her head back, "and this," she panted rubbing her vagina against his foot. "Was she wet? My hole is throbbing, you must fill it, James; see how wet I am. Speak to me," she murmured, between deep breaths, mouthing him again before coming up for air.
He told her how Debra rode him like a cowgirl. She jumped up and impaled herself on him. "Like this? Look between my legs, did you stretch her like this?" using her hands to open up her vagina. "Did you make her rub herself? You are so wicked, James. See, I'm fingering. I'm in control now; yippee!" she screamed, thrusting down into him. "No! my breasts, hands on my breasts. The nipples, harder, fingers and thumb, twirl them, harder again," she demanded, her face serious and focused as her orgasm swept over and through her, relaxing her face muscles after the shuddering subsided, flopping her body forward for a second. "I needed that," giving a little giggle. She drew in her breath, turned, and rode him facing away. Leaned forward, placed her hands, one each side of his shinbones to steady herself, and was off again jackhammering herself in him. "Did she do this, and this and this," thrusting down upon him. Come for me James, now, come now, get it out," screaming as if fighting a snake that had crawled inside her to spit out its venom.
"Yes, she sucked me, she fucked me," he gasped. "I lost my tongue in her, she did it all, I rammed her and crammed her with my hardness, and I had her begging for more," he cried, trying to concentrate on his own pleasure but she was in control of movement. Another orgasm shuddered out of her and she fell over and started to suck at his toes. She moved slowly, rubbing herself into him savouring the post-orgasmic glow radiating from her sated body. "Was she this wet?" Meeting him thrust for thrust.
"I'm there, a little faster, that's it, hold there. I'm coming," he yelled, plunging upwards into her. She swallowed his large toe and licked between his other toes. "That was hot," his body ablaze, heart beat high, and gently he calmed. "So much for your nap to catch up on sleep, slapping her bottom with the palm of his hand as she held on to his feet licking, sucking and kissing his toes and ankles still in afterglow, her skin shining with sweat.
"Again," she demanded, dropping his toe out of her mouth. "Both hands," alternately he slapped her bare flesh using both palms. "Harder, yes, again, come on James, don't stop, give it to me. Go for it, sting me, mark me, claim me. I was naughty last night with John. I let him come inside my mouth and I sat in his face and he pushed his tongue inside me and I came on his tongue. Punish me, slap me for being a wicked girl," she screeched. She started to rub herself into his lower stomach and fell into yet another orgasm. Her bottom was red and inflamed, stinging and tingling. "I love it." She laid next to him, nestled her head into his shoulder, kissed his cheek, wrapped her body around him and soon both fell into an exhausted sleep.
They woke and showered together and later dined with John. James explained the chaos in the other dimension and how desperate they were for the vaccine and a cure.
"We are all working flat out here; we are almost there but no one knows what long-term side effects we could encounter."
"Where needs must, John, we take the risk. Will I be able to take a few vials with me tomorrow?"
