Hayley and Robyn were panting their way toward orgasm by the time Ray came back, and two soft, desperate whimpers sounded from their lips as I removed my fingers. The smile was still on my face, but my screaming mind had gone silent.
It was a strange sensation. I was only observing what was happening through my own eyes, yet I was controlling everything at the same time. Every movement was mine, and every thought was conscious, yet I was also aware that they weren't entirely my own. My mind was sleeping, yet it was awake at the same time. The thoughts I
knew
did not belong to me were whispered in
my
voice, and they came from
my
mind. It was only the memory of that haunting, beautiful voice that allowed me to tell the difference between what I was doing and what the real me was thinking. Even then, it was far from clear.
I was little more than a passenger for my actions, but they were framed in such a way in my mind that it was hard to tell where my thoughts began and where
her
control ended. I would be lying if I said I was a wholly unwilling passenger, but I was a passenger nonetheless.
It was... disconcerting.
I was snapped back to reality by my shorts hitting me in the face. "Nice one, dude. Thanks," I chuckled up to a smiling Ray. He had seemed to have relaxed inordinately since he had left the lake. The twenty or so minutes it would have taken to get back to the beach, gather up all the clothes, and then return had clearly been enough for him to pull himself together.
Unless the same voice was doing to him what it was doing to me, to the outside observer, I must be looking just as relaxed.
A brief frown crossed my face as I looked down at the shorts. The button was missing from these ones too. Memories of Hayley frantically yanking down the last pair I had been wearing flashed through my mind, and I wondered if these ones had been the victim of something similar. Clearly, these women didn't want me covering up, but under the circumstances, I didn't have any other options. I plunged the shorts beneath the surface, gave them a little shake to wash the sand off them, and pulled them onto my legs, turning away from the rest of the group as I stood and pulled them the rest of the way up.
I didn't fail to miss the hungry looks of abject desire on Hayley and Robyn's faces, as I gave them the briefest of flashes of my solid hard manhood before tucking it away. I gave them both a wink and stepped out of the lake, heading over to join the already-dressed Ray, and leaving the other girls to dress with some measure of privacy.
"How are you doing, man?" I asked with a smile.
"Fuck, I don't know," He sighed. "There is a part of me that feels sick to my stomach for taking advantage of them and another part that knows I can't really control it. At least I know it's not just me. That is something. I wonder how Tom is feeling about... wait, where
is
Tom?" He looked around us and back into the clearing. We had only walked a few yards into the trees and could still clearly see the girls talking amongst themselves.
"And Lousia, she's not there either," I added.
"You don't think...." His question was cut off by the sounds of passion from deeper into the forest. We both turned our heads in that direction. Although we couldn't see much through the overgrowth, there was no missing the back of Louisa's head bouncing up and down, as the rest of her body rode something... or someone. She arched a little harder, her voluptuous breasts held in place by a set of hands and hers clamped over the top of them. Her head was thrown back, panting and moaning in pleasure with her eyes firmly closed. Whatever was affecting us was reasserting its will quickly.
"Let's... erm... go the long way back," Ray said slowly.
I nodded, and we both backed away a few yards before heading back toward the lake. We stepped back through the trees and into the clearing, and eight sets of eyes immediately snapped over to us. The period of lucidity had officially ended. Zoe and Caroline were on their feet in moments; both of them had managed to dress in the time we had been gone. But there was no mistaking their intent or desires as they sauntered up to Ray, hooked an arm each into his, and frog marched him back into the forest. I barely had time to watch him go before Robyn and Hayley did the same.
Both girls left their bikini tops on the rock next to where we had been sitting, walked over to me, hooked a hand each into my waistband, and pulled me along with them to the opposite shore of the lake, and into the trees beyond. Hannah and Katie giggled girlishly but didn't attempt to move; instead, they relaxed deeper into the water. Amy and Liz gave us a smiling, acquiescing glance; Liz offered a wink before they turned their attention back to each other. They were chatting seriously with each other, and flicking the occasional glance toward the top of the waterfall. Doubtlessly planning ahead for the expedition to the crater tomorrow.
"You were in danger of breaking your promise, lover boy," Robyn purred as the lake disappeared from view. "You were about to leave the forest
before
you fucked my brains out. For that, I want at least two loads out of you!"
"Sharing is caring," Hayley giggled from beside her.
"Oh, I think there is plenty to go around," I heard myself say.
"We are holding you to that," Hayley winked back at me.
"I want to find out how much of a stud you really are. I can tell that Liz wants a piece as well, so we have to make sure loverboy can produce the goods," Robyn grinned.
"Liz? really? I hadn't noticed that," Hayley smirked, seeming genuinely surprised.
"Of course, you didn't," Robyn laughed. "You have been too cum drunk to notice anything other than him."
"Fair," Hayley giggled.
We were well out of sight of the lake when I suddenly stopped, pulling the girls to a halt in front of me. "Strip," I ordered with about as much subtlety as your average nuclear detonation. Robyn gulped at the force in my voice, but her eyes dilated immediately, a slight flush of excitement starting to spread over her chest. Hayley had seen this side of me before and just purred. The redheaded former flight attendant hooked her fingers into her waistband, turned around to face away from me, and dragged her panties down her long and impossibly shapely legs. She made damn sure to add a little sway of her ass for my viewing pleasure as she did.
