Hex and the Single Witch (Vehicle City Vampires) (21 page)

“You’ve got to
be kidding me! How could this happen? Again?”

“I think maybe
it was a mistake. I know Mel has kinda been crushing on Jessel, but you know
how most guys are now afraid of her. Maybe she cast some kind of spell to get
him…well, uh, to get him to…”

“Bone her,” Mike
supplied sarcastically.

“Yeah, maybe and
I accidentally walked through it, then spread the effects to you. Otherwise, I
have no idea why someone would cast a sex spell here at the P.I.T offices.” I
then got the most awful thought in my head. “Mike, what if everyone heard us?
They could all be out there waiting for us to come out after hearing everything
we did?”

“Thankfully
these walls aren’t paper thin like most offices. My walls are really
cinderblocks. Not just wood and drywall. This room is pretty much soundproof.”

I didn’t feel
reassured. Half of the staff consisted of “Others,” some that had supernatural
hearing or a super sense of smell, like the shifters. Even if they hadn’t heard
us, they would smell it on us when we walked out.

“We’ll have to
suck it up and deal with it, Annie. Get yourself straightened up.”

I smoothed down
my hair and looked into the mirror on his wall. I wiped away my smeared
lipstick while he tucked himself back into his pants and re-tucked his shirt
before zipping up.

We both took
deep breaths and looked at each other before opening the door.

Then we turned
to face the fire…but there was none.

The department
was mostly empty, no one sat at their desks and the few people remaining in the
big open space full of desks and tables…were pretty much doing what Mike and I
had just done.

J.T, a human
P.I.T officer, lay spread out completely naked on top of one of the tables
while the receptionist, Carla a low level sorceress, licked his cock like a
lollipop. Then a werewolf dispatcher, I thought her name was Marsha, also
completely naked, had her legs spread wide open over J.T’s face while he
tongued her.

Another odd
coupling took place in the corner at a reception/waiting area. Susan, another
receptionist, a shape shifting koala bear from Australia, was getting boned
quite ferociously by Mike, a were-panther. Sure, sometimes weres will have sex
outside their species but prey and predator shifters almost never, ever mingle.
I mean really, you don’t have sex with your food, right?

Mike turned to
me wide eyed. “Anwyn, what the hell is going on here?”

“Well, it is
pretty safe to say we weren’t the only ones touched by the spell.” I looked
around the office wondering where everyone else went. “We better go see Mel.”

****

On the way down
to Mel’s basement office we encountered various hook ups all over the place;
moans came from closed office doors, both bathrooms contained sexual encounters
with orgy-like numbers of participants, and one horny couple did it doggy style
on the stairs. I even spied our witchy research intern getting triple-teamed by
three werewolves in one of interrogation rooms.

I tried to
ignore the smell of sex in the air as my nether regions tingled and my libido
purred, both aching for more nookie. I fought the urge to join the groups that
had thrown caution and good sense to the wind.

Of course, I
already did that with Mike.

We found Mel in
her workshop putting a salve on her bloodied neck, while Jessel sat in a chair
whimpering and holding an icepack on his balls. His cock jutted out, a little
less hard than before but still larger than anything I’d ever seen.

“Uh, Mel. What
the hell happened?”

She stormed
around, breasts uncovered. “This fucker bit me! Can you believe it? Bit me. Me!
No one fucking bites me.”

Jessel spoke up,
“Look I thought you were into it. Plus, I can heal it. All I have to do is lick
it.”

“You are not
coming anywhere near my neck again!” Sparks flew out of her fingertips shooting
directly toward Jessel’s balls.

“Holy shit, Mel!
Take pity on the guy, none of us are exactly in our right minds right now.”
Mike made a gutsy move and stepped between Mel and Jessel.

Jessel had
already jumped from the chair to the doorway still holding his injured
testicles. “Look babe, I said I was sorry. I didn’t know you didn’t want to get
bit. You know I’m a vampire and that I like to bite during sex…and you sure
didn’t protest about the sex so I…”

“Get out!” she
screamed as more sparks flew from her fingertips.

Jessel swiftly
disappeared.

“Mel, you need
to calm down…and put your boobies away.” She looked down at her naked flesh,
cursed a string of words I would never dare repeat and tucked her ample breasts
back into her dress. Mike looked down at the floor and coughed to cover his
laugh.

Once she was all
covered I asked, “What the hell is going on?”

She looked at
me. “I don’t know. Jessel brought this package to me from VAMP and then the
next thing I know we’re going at it like supernatural bunnies. All good until
he bit me.”

“Mel, the whole
office is humping like supernatural bunnies. Even the humans. Uh, I ah, walked
in while you and Jessel were going at it. I walked through this sticky patch
of…I don’t know, something. Then I was overcome with need and I ran into Mike’s
office and…well I attacked him.”

“I had no idea
what was going on, one minute I’m sitting alone in my office and Anwyn walks
in. The next minute I’m waking up as if from a dream and I’m buried inside her.”
Mike recounted not sounding too upset about it at all.

Mel’s lips
twitched. She tried to contain it as she stared at me, her eyes now sparkling
with humor instead of rage. Suddenly, she burst out laughing so hard she
doubled over and her boobies fell out of her dress again.

“Mel, this isn’t
funny!”  I yelled. “And for Goddess sake put your damn tits away!”

She giggled as
she tucked her breasts back into her dress, “Oh, Anwyn, it is. You and Malone…

“But Mel, it
isn’t just me and Malone. Everyone in the building is going at it. There are
orgies in the bathrooms, there are threesomes, foursomes, hook ups everywhere.
This can’t be good. Some of these people are married, have families…”

“I’m sorry, let
me pull myself together.” She tightened her dress then dried her tearing eyes
while straightening out the rest of her clothes. “Okay let’s start from the
beginning. Jessel brought me a package from VAMP. He said it got dropped there
but was addressed to me. I opened it…then the next thing I know I had Jessel’s
ginormous, fat cock buried so deep inside me I was seeing stars.”

“TMI Mel, TMI.”

“Can’t be TMI if
you seen it. Anyway…let me think. The box had to contain some kind of spell. A
sexual compulsion spell maybe. You must have walked through the spell then
taken it with you upstairs.”

“So I spread it?”

She snorted, “That
wasn’t the only thing you spread.”

I turned beat
red, “Mel!”

She sobered up,
a little. “Yes, you probably spread the spell through the building. These
spells don’t usually spread on their own unless they are put in water or a food
source. You said you walked through it? Did it feel sticky? Did you feel like
you were coated with something?”

“Yeah, that’s
exactly how it felt.”

“This spell was
made to be spread. The parts that coated you fell off as you ran through the
building. Bits and pieces landed everywhere probably spread out and passed from
person to person. The effects will wear off but this should be contained. We
don’t want anyone new touched by this. Let’s get busy. At least with the wards
in place it won’t leave this building.”

“Why didn’t the
wards warn us when the spell came in?”

“Because it
wasn’t active until I opened it. Plus a sexual compulsion spell is not overtly
dangerous. It wouldn’t have triggered the wards. It seems to be a stronger
version of what hit you and Mike the other night. This one not only made you
drop inhibitions it also pushed you to act on your most secret desires.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah, oh. At
least it didn’t make anyone do something that was totally wrong or against
their wishes. Everyone that got freaky together just acted on their deepest
desires and secret impulses. As soon as the spell hit, you went running for the
nearest object of your desire.” I blushed and looked at Mike out of the corner
of my eye; he was looking at the floor. Mel continued, “If the spell had been
one that forced people to act against their will or morals it would have
required blood magick and would have shown up on our radar.”

“You think
whoever did the spell knew that?”

“Most
definitely.”

“What are we
going to clean this mess up with?” Mike asked. He had been standing silently
listening to us until now. I think he was getting more uncomfortable by the
minute and wanted a graceful out.

“We’re going to
have to do a magickal cleanup.” Mel scurried around the room grabbing supplies.
“Lots of salt and sage are needed. I’ll mix the clean-up solution, you guys try
to round everyone up and put them in one room. Take these sage smudges and
bowls of salt. Toss the sea salt on each person and then smudge them. It should
clear their heads enough to get their brains out of their genitals.”

Mike and I each
grabbed a sage bundle, lit them, then each of us grabbed a bowl of salt.

As we headed up
the stairs I heard Mel shout, “Oh guys, I suggest you use the salt before
trying to pry bodies apart.” She laughed.

This was going
to be so much fun. Not.

Chapter 28

After salting
everyone, expressions ranged from mildly disbelieving to abject horror. The
latter mostly came from the humans married or in otherwise monogamous
relationships. Others tended to be more open about sex and were aware that
magick could create some interesting scenarios. Were-creatures were just
naturally open about sex- though they usually tended to keep it within their
own species.

Mike and I split
up so we could round up everyone into one place. We agreed to take them to the
meeting room.

Thank Goddess,
Captain Conally was not in today. I could not bear finding him sexing it up
with someone. It would be like seeing one of my parents—ewww.

I continued to
search for any affected people that may be hiding out in a closet somewhere and
wondered what to do about Mike. He completely avoided looking me in the eye.

Personally, I
thought the sex was amazing, just not how it came about—or more like where I
imagined our first time would be. And yes, I admit I had imagined it. A lot.
Way more than I should, considering my feelings for Galen and the fact I had
recently slept with him, too.

Really, I wasn’t
normally such a slut. This was the most action in…like… ever. I wasn’t the type
of girl who dated more than one guy at a time and I sure wasn’t the type of
girl who slept around. This being with two different guys in such a short time
period would probably send my guiltometer into overdrive soon. After my libido
quit screaming, “Yeah baby, yeah!” Traitorous sex drive.

After clearing
all the rooms, I made my way back to the basement to Mel’s area.

“Your neck,
there’s no mark at all!” I exclaimed when I spotted her bite free neck.

“Oh, yeah, healing
spell specifically for vampire bites.” She absently touched where Jessel bit
her neck. “It still hurts but doesn’t leave a mark, just like the real thing,
if I had let him lick it closed.”

“Why didn’t you?
I thought you have been crushing on Jessel. I know you’ve been with vamps
before, why’d you freak over the bite?”

She looked at
me. “He didn’t ask and I expect a little respect. I can tell you he won’t be
getting any of this again,” she said gesturing to her curvy body.

“I’m sorry, Mel.”

“Don’t be. I
scratched an itch. I’m good for a while,” she said, but it didn’t sound like
she meant it. Big, bad Mel was lonely. It might not show to other people but I
knew it. She looked up at me. “So what about you and Malone?”

“He won’t even
make eye contact. This really blows.”

She laughed. “Very
eloquent, Wyn. You have such a way with words.”

“Don’t I?” I
asked sarcastically.

Just then Carla,
the receptionist came running into the room, thankfully with her clothes back
on. “The phones are back on. I guess we’ve been unreachable for hours. The
wards kept the building completely sealed off. We were in complete quarantine
and didn’t even know it. Even cell phone and internet activity shut down.” She
was out of breath and had to pause. “That’s not even the worst part. There are
reports of riots, looting, fires and weird paranormal activity everywhere. All
available P.I.T Crew personal are being called out into the field to follow up
on all these reports. It’s like the whole damn city has gone crazy.”
