Shirley woke up, completely confused as to where she was. The first thing she thought was that she must have had too much to drink at her cousin's party last night. But no, things came to her a little more sharply as she looked around her her surroundings. She had been too wasted (damn college jocks with their bottomless kegs of beer...) to drive home, and one guy she'd been talking to offered her a ride. She asked her cousin if he was trustworthy, and had been told that the guy was safe enough.
On the drive home she'd almost fallen asleep twice, but though the guy could tell, he was still driving her home. So thinking all would be well, she decided to stop fighting it. Apparently that had been a bad idea though.
She hadn't woken up at home. Or even the guy's car. She was on top of some old poster bed, the covers full of dust, and the only light was a bare bulb hanging from the ceiling. She sat up with a start, wondering where the hell she was. Instinctively, she made sure she had her clothes on, which were, except for her jacket that had been folded under her head like a pillow.
"Hello Shirley." A low voice sounded from the doorway that she knew had been empty a second ago.
Shirley got out of bed and put on her jacket, holding it tightly closed in front of her. "Yeah, um... Abe, was it? Abe, can you take me home? If I vomited in your car I'm sorry, I'll pay for the cleaning. But I really need to get home." She hoped she didn't sound as frightened as she felt, though she was almost positive her voice was shaking.
"Yes of course Shirley. After I show you something." The shadowed but recognizable figure of Abe walked into the room, taking a few steps just so he was now well lighted compared to being out in the dark hallway. "Do you believe in magic?"
Swallowing nervously, Shirley pegged him for a psycho and decided that the only way she was going to get out of this was to play along. "Um, yeah. Yeah sure. Like tricks and stuff."
"No, no, no. Not tricks. REAL magic." Abe held out his hands, palms up, next to each other. In seconds there was something akin to a fireball there, like a giant firefly. It rose slowly, small tendrils of purple-red energy trailing from it. "This for example. It's not a ghost, or a demon, or anything hokey like that. But a being I created out of a combination of spells. Kind of like a baking recipe, actually. Just a whole lot deeper."
Taking a step back as that odd light show appeared and moved on its own, Shirley felt her thighs bump up against the edge of the bed. "Neat, really. Please Abe, I just want to go home."
The relaxed tone disappeared from Abe's voice now, as he slowly lowered his hands to his sides. "I SAID I would. But first, I think you and my little friend here should play first."
"No Abe, get the hell away from me!"
Looking almost bored and a bit frustrated, Abe shook his head. "You really don't know how to listen, do you Shirley? Well that's OK. My friend's going to show you a nice time, and then I'll take you home, and you won't remember a damn thing anyway." Abe stepped back to lean against the doorway, crossing his arms, looking every bit as calm as could be.
The ball of energy crackled and floated over to Shirley, stopping about a foot away from her face. Though she was now positive this wasn't some kind of special effects junk, she still couldn't process what it was, so she was terrified. She couldn't look away from the thing though, fascinating by the small red swirls in its mostly purple color, looking almost like colored mercury.
Without knowing why, without even being able to stop herself, Shirley tentatively reached up a hand, her fingers getting closer to the ball of energy. She felt an odd mist in her mind, but something that seemed to sharpen her knowledge rather than dull it. It seemed that she had a choice right now. Touch this thing and enjoy all the wonderful things that would follow (of which she had no idea, merely slight feelings), or resist, and she'd be allowed to leave.
A small part of her rational mind told her to take the way out, but Shirley's curious personality refused to leave before she learned more, despite how she'd been scared just a minute ago. He painted fingertips gently moved the last inch or so, and touched the floating power.
It crackled and sparkled as soon as she did, the swirls looking more like rapid paint strokes that slid around like art. In a second the swirls moved off the ball, like larger tendrils than before, longer and bigger as well. They waved around like seaweed in a current, but moved all around Shirley. One tip caressed her face, almost like a lover. Shirley smiled at the feeling, which was warmer than her most recent boyfriend's touch, and almost seeming to give her an erotic tingle, though it was just her face. Other tendrils touched her hand gently, or her waist. They acted almost shy as they seemed to check her out, and she was feeling quiet calm in letting them.
One seemed to grip onto the zipper of her jacket though, and started pulling it down. Slowly at first, then faster. Another unbuttoned her jeans, while a few others tugged off her jacket and pulled down her jeans. Shirley helped kick off her shoes, feeling practically giddy, without having a clue as to why.
The tendrils waved over her skin and remaining clothes, making her feel that warmth again, though it was lighter than the bare touch. She removed her shirt by assuming that was what they wanted, and sat back on the bed to unhook her full bra. Abe stayed where he was, looking interested, but not superbly fascinated. This wasn't the first time he'd seen this, after all. Still, it was certainly not so boring that his hand hadn't slithered down the front of his pants and was rubbing slowly.
Shirley giggled at the tendrils started to touch her, though they seemed to only poke her playfully. One did manage to push her gently to lean back on the bed, and another two picked up her legs and pivoted her so that she was laying fully on the dusty quilt. She had only unhooked three of the little snaps to her bra before two tendrils wrapped themselves around her wrists, and pulled her arms slowly apart. Two others did the same to her ankles, though they only spread her legs about 3 feet.
Breathing harder, Shirley had enough rational thought to realize she should be afraid right now. But she wasn't. In fact, she was really enjoying this. Not just the pleasurable feel from where the tendrils were grabbing her, but by the way they held her so exposed. As her legs had been parted, she felt a sudden draft in between them and realized that she'd been getting very wet, enough to moisten the crotch of her black bikini.
