Darcie and I walked out of that tent on wobbly legs. I felt energized, almost wired, incredibly aware of the heaviness of my balls and the thickness of my half-hard cock, though not frustrated at all. I felt powerful.
Darcie had recovered quickly. She seemed lighter, her face breaking into a small smile that somehow stayed there. Her eyes shone.
The Grey Man was still sitting where we had left him. He was sitting so still that I was briefly afraid he had died. But as he approached his head rose by an inch, just enough for him to fix his eyes on the two of us.
"Good," he said, before slowly getting up.
He shook a skinny finger at us, waving us onward into the night. We followed, hand in hand. In the distance, surrounding us, the domes and tents were thrumming with life and sounds, some sending tall beams of light into the dark sky, forming bright pillars supporting the dome of night. And everywhere, people; moving , dancing, crossing the black Playa as we were doing, dodging bicycles and mind-warping art cars. In the center of it all was the column of black basalt, the Black Rock City that overlooked this cheerful nightmare.
We walked in silence clear across the playa, almost two miles, towards what looked like a pair of giant boobs. As we approached they revealed themselves to be a pair of giant domes lit brightly pink.
Our guide stopped a few hundred feet from the entrance of the domes.
"That's where we go next?" I asked.
He nodded.
"This place is dangerous. But you can get a lot of juice here, quick. Just remember what you just learned. Don't get sucked in and don't," he said, suddenly turned towards me, "stay too long. Stay away from the center. There's plenty of juice on the outside. Now go."
With that, he sat, his grey cloak spread around his scrawny form.
"Good luck? See you later?" I said to him. "No? Okay then."
I looked at Darcie. She had a resolute look on her face. She caught my eye and smiled. We started walking towards the glowing dome, hand in hand.
"Are we okay?" I asked her quietly.
She looked up at me to give me a hopeful smile.
"Yeah, we're gonna get out of here, I know it," she replied.
"Are WE okay?" I persisted, feeling foolish.
She looked at me and chuckled.
"Sweetie, we're about to fuck our way out of here. I'm going into that dome and fuck half the people in it. I'm guessing you're going to fuck the other half, and I'm still going to love you after that." She seemed utterly calm and strong.
"I love you too" I said, speaking a truth that came surprisingly easily.
I pulled her closer to me and hugged her. I kissed the top of her head.
"Now you go in there and fuck the shit out them," I said, and smacked her butt.
These were brave words from a couple of idiots.
We could feel the bass before we heard the music blasting through the entrance of the dome. We joined the thin crowd pushing in and out of the entrance, fitting right in with the crowd of half-naked revelers.
We had stepped through the arch of a pair of ridiculous boob-shaped pink domes; we walked into a forest. Black trunks of gigantic trees rose up far above our heads, trees so tall that no branches could be seen. They simply disappeared into the darkness overhead. Between the widely spaced trunks were dancers, jumping and gyrating to a frenetic beat pumped out of an unseen sound system. The light was diffuse, flickering, coming from a large ball of glowing air floating above the dancing crowd. Bolts of lighting flickered through the ball of ionized air, lighting the crowd below with sudden harsh blasts of light.
Floating around the ball of glowing air were a dozen naked women, all of them writhing and shaking as they floated above our heads. Below them, standing still, dressed in ragged purple robes, was a man. He had his arms out, a beatific air on his lightly bearded face, gazing out at the dancers around him. His eyes were made up, his lips crudely painted red, giving him a strangely feminine air. The robes, parted from neck to feet, revealed the smooth body of a young man, his soft penis delicately nestled within a small patch of pubic hair. He was otherwise hairless, androgynous.
A bolt of lighting flashed, leaving an after image seared in our retinas, an image of enormous antlers rising from his head like an impossibly huge crown. I suddenly saw that the women floating above him were in fact held up by those enormous antlers. Each woman was impaled on the stem of an antler, their pussies opened, penetrated, by the invisible crown. They were obviously enjoying it, their faces racked with pleasure. Juices were flowing from their stretched open pussies, coating their thighs. When the lighting was not flashing, the crown of antlers was invisible, leaving the women high over our heads, displayed in the most intimate way, their pussies opened in an almost gynecological way. When one of the women shivered or spasmed in what was obviously an orgasm, an arc of lighting would flash across the ball of glowing, ionized air. The dancers in the dome were being lit with the sexual energies of these women.
I suddenly understood why this place was so dangerous.
Between us and the Crowned God was a hundred half naked dancers, arranged in a broad circle around him. A savage techno beat was hammering the air, shaking the dancers into a frenzy. The dancers, half naked, dusty, their clothes ripped to colorful rags, were bumping and grinding against each other. No one was shy about grabbing a dance partner and grinding against him or her. Couples were kissing passionately as they danced. Others were stroking, squeezing, scratching at whatever exposed flesh they could find.
Darcie and I moved gingerly into the dancing crowd. The beat was infectious and we quickly found ourselves bouncing to the music. Hands snaked out from the crowd, fingers tracing arcs across our bodies. We held each other's hands tight.
Closer to the center of the ring of dancers was a satyr. There was no mistaking him for anything else. His upper half was that of a ruggedly handsome man, goateed, a small pair of horns poking through the curly brown hair that crowned his head. His legs though, were the hind legs of a goat, hairy, the knees reversed, the feet mere hooves. Between his legs swung a large human cock. He was smiling broadly, happy, genial, jumping up and down in time with the music.
Darcie pulled at my hand and pointed at the far side of the circle.
There an impossibly tall creature was swaying with the music. Pale and vaguely humanoid, moon-faced, dressed in diaphanous blue and green robes, it was almost ten feet tall, huge wet black eyes scanning the dancing crowd. With terribly thin and long fingers it brushed the bodies of the people dancing around it. Its touch seemed pleasurable since the dancers eagerly offered their exposed flesh to the probing fingers. One woman starting sucking on one like it was a slim cock.
Darcie pulled at my hand. I turned to her to find her in the embrace of a dancing man. He was behind her, one arm draped around her waist, his face buried in her neck, grinding his naked hips against her ass. His other hand was on her breast. Darcie had raised her free hand to stroke his hair.
Her eyes were locked in mine. Her hips started to sway against the man, pushing back. Her eyes were still on mine. Her mouth opened and the tip of her tongue slid out, gliding across her lips.
I stepped forward, kissing her, trapping her between my body and the man behind her. She grabbed my head and pulled me to her, her tongue in my mouth, dancing, hungry against mine. My cock was already at half-mast, growing thick and hard against her belly.
"If you stay we're gonna fuck. That's not what we're here for..." she whispered hoarsely into my ear.
I pulled back, grinning. Darcie grabbed hold of my hair, keeping me close.
