"Is something wrong, Casey?" her dad asked, "You're being awfully quiet."
The two of them were at the diner around the street from the hotel, grabbing some breakfast before they searched for the trickster again. So far, Casey had been strictly focused on her plate of eggs and toast, completely unable to meet her father's eyes, not after the dream she had last night. Just the thought of it had her turning red in the cheeks.
"I'm fine, just some strange dreams last night," Casey answered quickly.
Her dad nodded and drank his cup of coffee down. "I tried turning in early, might have had a couple of beers too many. I couldn't get to sleep for over an hour, the room directly over me was so noisy." He shook his head and drained the last bit of his coffee. "Sounded like they were having fun though."
Casey blushed even harder at hearing that her dad had overheard her having sex with Derek. At least he didn't know it was her. After waking up, Casey had checked out the tattoo-like mark on her lower back that the trickster had left. It was still there, and she could feel it pulling on her mind slightly, tugging her towards sex, but the effect was much weaker than it had been yesterday, at least so far.
"I was thinking we should split up today," Casey offered. "Cover more ground in finding the trickster." She had a meeting with the trickster already setup; she just needed to find him.
"That doesn't sound like a good idea, what if you find him and you're on your own?" her dad replied.
"You wouldn't be this worried if you were on the hunt with Marcus would you?" Her father had always given Casey's older brother a longer leash. "Besides, you said the trickster wasn't that dangerous. If I could go off after a werewolf I think I can handle a trickster."
"Marcus is older than you, Casey, and more experienced. I didn't like you going after the werewolf either, that's why I sent Grant to follow you." He let out a sigh and sat back in the booth. "But you're right. This shouldn't be very dangerous, just call me if you find it, alright?"
"Sure thing," Casey pushed her half-eaten plate of food away and stood. "I'm going to get an early start, okay?"
"Just be careful, alright?"
"I always am." Casey was happy to put some distance between her and her dad. She definitely needed some time to let her head clear and to put the dream behind her.
She got out of the diner and began walking down the sidewalk, down the main street of Hilbury. All of the storefronts were already open, and there were a decent amount of people around. Being a college town, the demographic skewed slightly younger, although everyone was still older than Casey.
She kept an eye out for Jordan. The trickster had said he would find her today, but he hadn't explicitly said how or when. All Casey could do was stay in the open and hope it was sooner rather than later. It would make everything more difficult if her dad found him first.
The trickster didn't show up right away. Casey was left to stroll through Hilbury waiting. As she did, the magic on her started acting up. She could feel the pressure from it increasing and feel the dampness in her panties as it did. It grew stronger as the day dragged on, and eventually, Casey was keeping an eye out for the next suitable man to cross her path. The need was nearly as great as when she had turned to Derek.
She saw a likely target, two guys leaving the diner her dad and she had eaten. They looked like they might have been truck drivers. Casey might not be able to get one away from the other, but maybe having both of them fuck her would be even better? Her mind was set, and she was walking towards them when Jordan was suddenly beside her. It seemed like he appeared out of nowhere, and he pulled her to the side.
"There you are," Casey hissed. "Where have you been?" The pressure from the magic was still mounting.
"Were you waiting long?" the trickster asked with a smile. "I was busy having the books at the library randomly switch places; they won't be able to sort it out for months. You should have seen everyone overreact."
"I was," she glaired. "what did you do to me?"
"If I recall correctly we had sex in the alley way behind Super-Mart, sex we both enjoyed quite a bit. If this is your way of asking for more I'm quite happy to go along with that, but perhaps somewhere more private," Jordan teased.
"Not that, this." Casey turned around, presenting her back to him and hiking up her hoody. She had a black top on that exposed her midriff, so she had to wear a coat over it to make sure her father didn't spot the mark.
"Oh, that's interesting," Jordan said. His hand pressed against her, and his warm fingers run along the swirling shape of the mark across her lower back. His thumbs pulled her shorts down slightly, tugging them almost halfway down her ass.
"Is it really the time for that?" Casey hissed. They were in an alcove by one of the shops, but anyone could spot them if they looked.
"I'm examining the mark, some of it was underneath those cute short shorts you enjoy so much."
The mark had been limited to her lower back this morning. "Why is it spreading?" she asked worriedly.
"I'm not sure, it's very strange. I cast a playful little charm on you when we parted ways, but it shouldn't have done this."
"What sort of charm?"
"You enjoyed the sex so much I thought you might like a bit more. Did you enjoy your dreams last night?" Even from behind her, Jordan could tell she was blushing. "Oh you did? Who were they of?" he teased.
"That's none of your business," Casey snapped. "If it was supposed to affect my dreams then why is it turning me on so much?"
Without a word, Jordan's hand moved from probing dangerously far down her shorts to pressing down the front of them. His fingers slipped into her already wet panties and teased against her lips. Casey bit down on her lip to stop herself from moaning out at the feel of his fingers. The pressure seemed to be growing even stronger as she was turned on more.
"You weren't kidding," the trickster said, shocked to feel how wet she was. "I think you're even wetter than yesterday. I've never had a charm of mine misfire before, strange."
