We fell asleep an hour after the sun came up.
When I woke up it was almost dinner time on Saturday. I felt like I had been dreaming. The memory was fuzzy, but I could still hear her voice. That one word.
Yes.
The warm feeling of satisfaction returned.
I took a breath. My body was still warm, like there was a piece of the sun glowing from the center of my being.
Nothing had ever felt like this.
Nothing had ever felt so good.
I laid back and savored the feeling for moment. It was so strange and wonderful. I felt like I was radiating some kind of energy, like I was made of magic.
My phone rang, it was my dad.
The picture of him I had on my phone popped up and I just kind of stared at it.
Suddenly, I pictured him naked.
I don't know what happened exactly, but I imagined him sitting on the couch, naked. It was like I was standing in front of him, naked too.
It seemed so real. I stared into his eyes, the lustful look on his face as he looked at his naked daughter standing in front of him.
His shoulders were so broad. His hands were so big. In my imagination, and being twenty-six years older than me, he looked surprisingly good.
The phone continued to ring in my hand, but I didn't care.
I closed my eyes and imagined his cock, thick with a broad head.
It was erect, standing proudly, throbbing in anticipation.
I wanted it.
The phone stopped ringing and it broke me free of my thoughts.
What the fuck?
I shook my head. I couldn't believe what had just happened.
The phone rang again. I looked at the screen, dad's smiling face again.
What the fuck was that?
Maybe it was just left over magic. God, I was so horny. You would have thought the activities from the night before would have worn me out, left me exhausted, at the very least sated. But no. I was crazy horny.
"Hello?" I looked around myself on the bed. Olivia was already gone.
Probably downstairs,
I thought.
"Hey," my dad's voice was alive and loud, "you sound like you're just getting up."
I pulled the sheets back and swept my legs over the edge of the bed to sit up.
I heard dishes clanking downstairs.
Looking around, I saw the white circle and the box with the wooden toy.
"Um," I said thoughtlessly as I looked down at my swollen quim, still pink from the evening's activities. "Uh, yeah, no. I mean, we were up late." I picked up the wine bottle and tilted it back to swallow the last few drops. My mouth was so dry. The wine splashed across my tongue, the flavor of smoke and purple.
"What time do you want me to pick you up?" My dad's voice was in my ear.
I imagined him behind me, his naked skin pressed against mine.
I took a breath.
Oh my god, what was wrong with me?
It was like I couldn't stop myself.
I leaned down and picked up my underwear. "An hour?" I looked at the clock again, just to double-check myself.
"Alright, see you in a few. We'll eat dinner in town. Pick wherever you want."
I hung up and slipped my legs into my underwear. I looked down at the symbols that covered my arms. Most of the ink had faded or had been smeared into smoky blotches.
I stretched. Everything kind of ached, but I almost didn't care because I could still feel the magic from last night. I thought of the voice, her voice.
Who was she? Where was she?
I walked over to the white circle. The air around it seemed to smell different. I took a deep breath and held it.
What was it?
It was so different than anything else. It was like it was almost metallic but somehow not metallic at all, like something close but mixed with...what?
It seemed impossible to figure and then it was gone, or I had become used to it.
I stood and closed my eyes. I listened. I wanted to hear her voice again. It was so sweet, so strange. It was like she had been right there, somewhere, watching.
I focused on the sounds outside of myself, outside of the room, the house. It was like I was searching my own head for the voice I had heard.
I listened but there was nothing.
The box sat on the floor, the lid open, the phallus with intricate markings was still against the red fabric lining.
Everything that had happened felt like a dream.
I ran a finger across my pubis. I was so hot, so turned on.
I stepped into the circle.
Immediately, the smell returned. It was like I had stepped through some kind of invisible doorway.
The dildo was at my feet.
I listened and heard Olivia still banging around in the kitchen.
Could I?
My body wanted it.
All I wanted to do was pick it up.
I thought of the way it had felt the night before, the warmth, almost like it was alive.
I wanted to bend over, pick it up, and slide the hard shape into my waiting darkness.
I spread my legs.
The warmth inside me grew, radiating out from center of my being. I was somehow still connected to the magic of the night before, or maybe it was just left-over energy. I felt like I could orgasm any second.
And it was all I wanted.
"Abi?" Olivia must have heard me moving. "Are you awake?"
I took a breath and looked around. It was so strange, it was like I was coming to, like I was waking up from a dream within a dream.
Had my dad really called? Why was I so turned on, so horny?
It was crazy.
I stepped out of the circle and the smell was replaced with Olivia's bedroom, a mix of floral lotions and the wax from the candles we had burned the night before.
"I'm getting dressed." I leaned over and grabbed my bra. Pushing my arms through the holes, I looked down at my breasts. I thought of how Olivia had made hers bigger. They had been wonderful, but the magic we had used last night had taken them away.
It was all so weird and somehow wonderful, but strange too. I moved the bra over my breasts.
What would I do if I had such power?
Walking downstairs, I found Olivia in her bra and underwear cleaning up the kitchen. She looked at me and her eyes got big. "Look at this! Look at this!" She picked up her phone and ran toward me.
I stared at the little screen.
Hey, I just wanted to see what you were up to tonight.
Then Olivia's response:
Tonight? Nothing. Why?
I've just been thinking about you. Like a lot. Why don't you come over?
I moved the screen and found Olivia's response. A big smile with a thumbs-up emoji.
"I can't believe it." Olivia took the phone back and read the messages again.
"It worked," I said.
"Fuck yeah it did." We laughed.
Now it was even more real. The magic Olivia had woven around us last night had done exactly what she had wanted -- we had cast a love spell on Katie. Apparently, a fast-acting one.
Olivia set the phone down. "Did I hear your phone ring?" She turned back to the coffee maker.
"It was my dad," I caught myself staring at the shape of Olivia's ass in the little, lace boy-shorts she was wearing. I remembered the way her pussy had devoured her end of the dildo, the way her hips had pressed it further into me and how I had returned the favor.
The warmth spread through me again, but I tried to shake it off. "He's coming to pick me up in an hour." I took the steaming mug of coffee Olivia offered me.
"We had better get a shower then," she ran her eyes over me, "we can wash off the runes and bindings." Her gaze stopped somewhere around my navel. "Among other things."
"Oh my god, are you as horny as I am?" I slipped my arms around her and kissed her lips.
She pressed her body against mine as we kissed, her thigh slipped between my own. "It's the magic," she whispered as I nibbled on her earlobe. "They call it an after glow." She lifted her thigh and pressed it into my quim until I moaned.
"Come on," I turned and sprinted up the stairs.
In the bathroom, I stripped off my clothes and started the water. Olivia stripped and wrapped her arms around me from behind. I felt her breasts press into my back as her hands slid over my naked belly.
The yearning and desire overcame me. I turned and spread Olivia's lips with my tongue. We scrambled under the warm water and I pulled the curtain closed.
Olivia's heart thumped as fast as mine. She felt glorious. We straddled each other's thighs as we caressed and kissed under the hot water.
I slid my hand down the inside of Olivia's thigh. I could feel the warmth of her sex.
"Oh, yes. Abi. Don't stop." Olivia buried her head in my neck.
I found her slit and began to slowly explore her with my fingers. She gasped when I spread her lips.
Everything felt electric. A mix of heady sexual desire and the left-over glow of the magic from the night before.
I touched her clit and Olivia shifted her hips until two fingers slipped into her wet darkness.
Every muscle in her body went taut as I pressed my fingers deep into her.
She ground against me and I ran my thumb over her erect clit.
The skin was hot and hard. I pinched at it and watched as her eyes rolled back in her head and she moaned into my kisses.
Then I felt her hand at the entrance to my pussy.
