Warning! Extreme Monster Sex Ahead!
Molly winced as her boss approached, quickly stuffing her phone into the pocket of her skinny jeans and grabbing a pair of bestsellers from the display table in front of her. She blushed as she nearly dropped the books, glancing over to see the much taller woman striding quickly toward her, her face a thunderhead.
"What are you doing?" Pam demanded. She came right up to Molly and put her hands on her hips, looming and glaring down at her. At nearly six feet, the brunette was what men would call stacked, with big hips and an even more impressive bust. The tight sweater she wore over her short skirt didn't help. Only in her mid-thirties, she was about ten years older than Molly, with a pretty, if stern face. Blonde, blue-eyed little Molly, so petite and slim, always felt incredibly intimidated when Pam was around. She adjusted her glasses and promptly dropped a book onto the floor.
"Sorry, I was just going to restock these books since we're changing over tomorrow night for the new releases," she explained, trying not to stammer.
"And you're going to leave the table empty all day? Put them back and head up to the service counter, we have customers!" Pam snapped and turned on her heel. Molly made a face and shook a tiny fist at her departing manager, dropping the book yet again.
"What a bitch," came a whispered voice next to her.
"Cripes, Misty, you shouldn't scare me like that!" Molly yelped. Her coworker was a big girl, plump and as brassy as her strawberry blonde hair. "She almost caught me sending a text to my boyfriend. You know how she is about cell phones on the sales floor!"
"That woman," Misty nodded, her double chin wobbling, "needs to get laid more than anyone I've ever met."
"Do you really think that's the problem? I mean, maybe she's just horrible by nature?" Molly giggled, setting the books back and heading toward the front of the small bookstore.
"Could be, or it could be no man wants to screw her on account of the fact that she's so mean to everybody all the time," Misty said, putting an air of wisdom in her voice.
"Not all the time, you should have seen her with the delivery guy last week. I thought she was going to ask him out for drinks!" She stopped, there wasn't a single customer near the service counter. She stamped her tiny foot in frustration.
"I don't think it was the driver she had the hots for," Misty shook her head. She pointed a chubby finger down the main aisle, where they'd recently set up a new display. It featured book tie-ins for the big kid's movie based on the myth about Theseus and the Minotaur. Pam stood before it, hands at her side, seemingly daydreaming. Molly peered forward and adjusted her glasses. The display had a life-sized creature, at least seven feet tall, of a giant hairy man with the head of a bull. It was the cardboard hero standing next to it that drew the tall woman's attention, though. The only word for the actor who played the mythical hero was dreamy.
"Yeah, everybody's got a thing for him!" Molly sighed. The handsome actor was tall, strong, handsome, and the cardboard stand was VERY life-like, right down to the tiny loincloth.
"Uh huh, I bet when you take the display down tomorrow night she's gonna take that home and tuck it into her bed!" Misty laughed.
"You make her sound so pathetic!" Molly said, feeling a bit sorry for her boss. Sure, she did seem to pick on her more than anyone else, but that didn't mean she was a loser!
"She hasn't had a boyfriend or a date in like a year, I heard her talking about it to her mom on her cell phone the other day. A shame you can't cast one of your magic spells on it and make him come to life!" Misty said, looking sideways at her friend.
"Witchcraft doesn't work like that!" Molly protested. Ever since she'd started working at the bookstore, she'd devoured every book they'd had on the occult. Spells and Magick fascinated her. Despite what she said though, Misty was right. She'd read something about a spell to make idols and effigies come to life not very long ago.
"Well, whatever. I'd hook her up with one of my boyfriends but well, I don't have any!" Misty chuckled. "Anyway, they want me to go run the cash register for a while. Try to stay out of trouble, Molly. I hear you're working late tomorrow with Pam to change over the special features. Try to stay on her good side!"
"I will," Molly said with a frown, and started hunting around for a customer to help. Misty's crazy idea struck her though, and she couldn't stop thinking about it all day and into the next.

"Great, we're done, finally," Pam said, wiping her forehead on the sleeve of her red sweater. The woman did love her tight sweaters and short skirts. This time she wore bright red tights to match the sweater. With legs like hers, she could get away with it! She forced a smile at Molly. "Thanks for you help."
"Sure, Pam, anytime. Do you want me to hang around so we can walk out together?" she asked. It was well after midnight, and the young woman didn't really want to walk to her car through a dark parking lot by herself.
"I'm fine, but you need to sit tight while I grab some things," Pam snorted. "Next time we do this I'll need to show you some techniques that will make things go a lot quicker. I noticed that you weren't as efficient as you could be," the older woman said, her voice dripping with condescension.
"All right," Molly said tightly, and watched as Pam picked up the cardboard cut-outs, the minotaur under one arm and the half-nude Theseus under the other. She had tried not to think about it as they'd worked, but she'd formulated a plan. She hurried over to the Occult section and quickly found the black-bound book she'd been searching for.
"Spells for the Eternity!" she grinned girlishly and thumbed through the pages. "Here we are, Mystical Incantation for the Animation and Transference via the Astral of Extra-dimensional life into a prepared Medium!" she giggled at the silly name and started reading the bizarre words aloud. Some were clearly Latin, others probably Welsh Gaelic, and some were quite obviously gibberish. She'd practiced several times though, and she made it through the whole incantation without missing a syllable. She set the book down and drew out a pin and a small leather bag.
"Ouch!" she squeaked as she pricked her own finger and drew out a fat bead of crimson blood. She let it drop into the open pouch of Astral Dust she'd purchased online when she'd started practicing Pagan Magick. She recited a quick spell to integrate the magicks of the dust and her blood and steeled herself.
"This is it, time to see if this works," she said to herself, and crept toward the stockroom. She wore soft loafers and made not a sound as she made her way across the carpet. The door to the back room stood open. She could hear Pam rustling around back there.
"I'll be right there!" Pam called just as Molly peeked around the corner. The two women crashed into each other, the much taller woman knocking the small girl onto her bottom on stockroom's concrete floor.
"Yikes!" Molly cried as she reeled. The pouch came loose from her hand and the dust spilled out, coating both her boss and the cardboard figure she toted under her arm.
"What the?" Pam spluttered, dropping the display and wiping the dust from her sweater. "What is this crap you got all over me?" she demanded.
"I'm fine, thanks for asking!" Molly whimpered, slowly getting back up and touching her bruised little bottom through her khaki pants. She stepped back, seeing the lightning in her boss's dark brown eyes. She glanced down, the cardboard figure lay on its face, but she could tell by the size and shape that it was the minotaur Pam had been carrying, not the man!
"Good, that's what you get for sneaking up on me!" Pam growled. "But seriously, what is this stuff, baby powder?" She sniffed. "It smells strange!" She swooned on her long legs, stepping to the side to clutch at the workbench.
"Something like that," Molly said sheepishly. She should have known the spell wouldn't work! It was lucky it hadn't though. She'd meant to bring the handsome hero to life, not a man-eating monster! She looked closer at Pam, the woman's cheeks were flushed and her eyes seemed wet and glassy.
