Hi, all, Annabelle Hawthorne back at it with a new chapter of Home for Horny Monsters!
If you're a first-timer, let me catch you up: Once upon a time, Mike Radley inherited an old house and jerked off in the tub. As a result of this, he has taken down a cabal of witches, battled dimension crossing demons, tag-teamed the Krampus (non-sexually) with Santa, and now he's going to Hawaii. Make sense?
He also fucked a lot of monster girls in there. May want to jump back to the beginning if you want to read about goblin titties.
Returning reader? I missed you! This month was hella busy, but I'm happy to keep the ball rolling as Book 7 gets off the ground. Thanks to all of you who take the time to leave me stars, leave comments, really everything you do. I spent two hours the other night hunting down Lit Feedback that got tossed into my spam, promotions, and my social folder on gmail. I have no idea why it does that, but I did try to reply to a bunch of you who wrote me. Almost all of you had really nice things to say!
Just a reminder that I couldn't do all of this without you. Yes, I say it almost all the time, but only because it needs repeating. I am appreciative of your enthusiasm and kindness, which has enabled me to go far. So again, thank you. My Lit readers really are the best.
Don't forget to check my bio for updates on when I intend to post. Now before we begin, please make sure your seats and tray tables are in a full-upright position and that all spare items are stored beneath your seats, because it's time to fly
The Friendly Skies
The air above the tarmac rippled like a sheet in the wind, the heat eating through the thin fabric of Mike's shirt and making him sweat. The entourage had arrived a few minutes earlier than expected, meaning they had to wait for the private jet to come out of its hangar where the Order prepared the plane for the trans-ocean flight. He had no idea what this actually entailed, but the answer satisfied Ratu.
Flying used to give Mike anxiety, but any fear of heights had been squashed long ago by the piece of Abella's soul that was now part of his. In the event of an emergency, it had already been discussed that Lily could easily carry him to safety while Ratu used her magic to protect Beth and Quetzalli.
Ingrid and Wallace stood behind them, looking very much like a pair of secret service agents. Mike kept noticing that Ingrid would stare at him when she thought he wasn't looking. When he had inspected her soul, he could see a boiling mass of confusion coupled with desire and rage.
Lily seemed to notice as well. She kept smirking at the agents like she knew a secret. Other than some brief instructions when everyone was picked up, Ingrid and Wallace had said very little.
There had been no sign of Cyrus and his team, but Mike already knew that they had arrived minutes after he had left. Kisa had contacted him via their telepathic link to let them know that they were just wandering the grounds and trying to chat up the centaurs, who they were seeing as humans.
Kisa had also informed him that Jenny was taking her new role as Head of Security very seriously. Reggie had even made her a badge for it, which was just an old silver dollar with a sheriff's star drawn on it in Sharpie that had been hot glued to the outside of her dress. Apparently the cursed doll was now at that very moment sitting on the porch swing with Cecilia, watching for any signs of trouble. Mike didn't know if her sudden interest was because she cared about the house, or because he had given her permission to cause trouble if the Order tried to pull anything.
The doors of the hangar slid open, revealing a sleek looking white plane with glowing runes down the sides. Mike could tell that several strong enchantments had been placed on it, so took a few steps toward Ratu.
"Defensive?" he asked, knowing she could see them too.
"Indeed. Along with cloaking and..." Ratu squinted her eyes in the direction of the fuselage. "Interesting. Improved fuel efficiency. That's one I haven't seen before."
The plane came to a stop nearby, and the cabin door swung down to reveal stairs. At the top, a pair of women in uniform waved for them to come over.
"Finally," Lily muttered, hauling a massive suitcase behind her that Mike knew for a fact was just one of her illusions. Once created, it would only continue to exist as long as Lily remained within thirty feet of it.
One of the women came down the stairs and opened the luggage compartment in the belly of the plane. Mike and the others handed over the bags they had brought, then ascended the airstairs. The other woman, who wore Captain's bars, smiled pleasantly at them and gestured for them to choose their seats.
The interior of the cabin was nice and roomy, allowing up to three people to sit next to each other. The seats then alternated which side of the plane they were on, making the cabin appear like a lounge. Mike also noticed a few oblong seats in the back that looked like they folded down into beds.
"Welcome aboard." The captain pointed to the overhead bins. "Make sure you tuck away any loose belongings before take off."
"Will do." Mike shoved his backpack into the overhead bin. Other than a couple of books, he just had a tablet similar to Abella's loaded with movies. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had more than an hour to himself, and was looking forward to catching up on what had come out in the last few years. He started to sit by the window, but was interrupted by a tap on the shoulder.
"May I?" Ratu was standing right behind him. "I haven't been on a plane before and heard the view is spectacular."
"Oh, right, of course." Mike took the middle seat instead. The seats were huge, upholstered in leather with moveable armrests and plenty of legroom. Beth and Quetzalli walked past his row, both of them smirking in his direction.
Uh oh. He watched as Lily entered the cabin and tilted down her sunglasses dramatically to inspect the surroundings. She wore a red sundress with a matching wide-brimmed hat and black thigh high boots. When she saw where Mike was sitting, she licked her lips and headed for the aisle seat.
"Excuse me, sir, but I think you might be in my seat." She batted her eyelashes in his direction.
"Let me see your ticket," he replied with a chuckle.
"Sure, I have it right here." She handed him a slip of paper with a pair of tits drawn along the bottom and the words The Order Eats Ass written across the middle.
Wallace, who was now behind Lily, got a confused look on his face and reached past her waist to snatch the ticket from her hand. He studied it for a moment with a scowl, then balled it up and tossed it onto the floor.
"If you don't want to come, you can fucking--" he was cut off when Ingrid put a hand on his shoulder and shook her head.
"Down, boy," Lily muttered, then flopped down into her seat and crossed her legs. "If I'm too much for you, then maybe--"
"Enough." Mike put his hand on Lily's leg and squeezed. "If you can't behave, I'll make them swing over the house and we'll drop you out."
"You wouldn't dare?" Lily raised a hand to her mouth in exaggerated shock.
"Can I push?" asked Wallace.
