Sam's Club stamped on the side of the box.

Roberto asked, "What's so funny?"

"Ummm, nothing I'm just trying to picture Leeds cooking." Leeds turned toward me, "I'll have you know that I'm a great cook. As a matter of fact, why don't you two freshen up and I'll make us a great salad and some cheese omelettes."

The thought of a delicious cheese omelette made my stomach growl.

Roberto led me out of the kitchen and across the living room. We went down a short hall and opened a door to a bedroom. It was rather sparse, with a double bed and a dresser being the only furnishing.

"Have you stayed here before?" I asked Roberto.

"A few times when the night got away from me after a few too many beers and way too many hands of poker with Leeds. By the way, don't play with him, I think he cheats."

"I find it strange that the two of you are friends. He seems really bizarre."

"He is strange but sometimes strange is understandable."

"I get the feeling that you know something about Leeds that I don't know."

Roberto came over and wrapped his arms around me. "I may, but it is his story to tell. Now go take a shower and I will try and find something for you to wear. I'll leave whatever I find on the bed for you."

I kissed him and went down the hall in the direction he pointed. I turned on the hot water and stripped out of my dirty clothes. As I stepped into the shower it felt like heaven to have the hot water cascade over my weary body. I even found some strawberry shampoo and washed my hair. That a man like Leeds has strawberry shampoo made me think about Roberto's comments.

Maybe there was more to Leeds than his brutish ways, his scary appearance and his insane ramblings.

I reluctantly turned off the shower and found a nice fluffy towel waiting and my dirty clothes gone. I so hoped that it was Roberto who had come in here while I was wet and naked. I made my way back to the bedroom and found a flannel shirt waiting for me on the bed. That was all.

Well at least it was large and would probably reach to my knees anyway. I also found, on the dresser, a brush. Thank God. My hair had been looking like a rats nest. I dressed and brushed out my long hair until it shone. When I finished I made my way to the kitchen and my stomach really started growling at the heavenly smells that were coming from there. Roberto and Leeds were sitting at the table already eating. When I entered the room, Roberto stood while Leeds just snorted and poured me a glass of wine.

"Leeds, this smells wonderful. Where did you learn to cook?"

Leeds looked uncomfortable and just shrugged. I was determined to try and understand this friend of Roberto's so I asked, "This cottage is beautiful. Have you lived here long?" This time he just scowled at me. I looked at Roberto for some assistance but he just shrugged at me. I tried once more.

"The gardens out front are amazing. Did you plant those?" I could sense his growing agitation and didn't understand why he didn't want to talk to me. I gave up and decided maybe he just didn't like me or more than likely he was just nuts!

I started eating and almost choked on my omelette when Leeds asked me in a soft voice, "Did Roberto tell you that I'm the Jersey Devil?"

"Ahhhh that explains a lot. Hockey players. They are a wild bunch aren't they?" I purposely misunderstood his statement to give myself a second to process what he said. The Jersey Devil.

I remembered hearing stories about him I just couldn't remember any specifics.

"I'm not a hockey player, though I do like the way they slam each other. I am the Jersey Devil, the beast that they talk about around campfires. The boogeyman that scares little children." he snickered.

I had to admit, he scared me as well, and he seemed a little off.

Roberto, who had been quiet until now said, "Leeds, you are what you are. That they choose to call you a "devil" just proves people's ignorance. It's one of the reasons I say the world is not ready to know about the other species that are out there. Regardless how much people talk about tolerance and change, they rarely are capable of either."

"I want to think people are better than that Roberto, surely your not that cynical. There are a lot of good people in the world. Not everyone is like those Guardians. Look at yourself, you're a good person." I said quite passionately.

"Hmmpppfff." That came from Leeds. Roberto looked uncomfortable, "Thank you piccolina for thinking so highly of me. You make me out to be a saint and I am far from a saint. You have only known me a few days."

"That may be so but I know a good person when I see one and you've been nothing but good to me." I added vehemently.

"Olivia, you think the best of people don't you? I hope that the day never comes that you lose that. But if I'm being honest, I can't see that happening, not with what you are and what you will become." Roberto sounded sad. Leeds stood and scratched his backside and said, "Bloody

hell the two of you are making me ill. I need to stretch my wings."

"Ummm did you say stretch your wings?"

"Yeah, do you have a problem with that piccolo?" Roberto raised an eyebrow. "Actually its piccolina and that is my pet name for Olivia."

"Hmmm okay, then I will call her sugar lips" In unison Roberto and I said, "No!"

"Whatever, I'm gonna go stretch." Leeds looked at me with a challenge and asked, "Do you want to see my private parts sugar lips?"

"Ummm, yeah, if you mean wings. Yes, I'd love to see them"

Roberto stood. "Well, if you're going then I'm going with you."

We went out into the night. The moon was still high in the sky. It was still a bit eerie out here in the swamp but I felt safe with Roberto by my side. As if he read my thoughts he took my hand in his and as usual, a tingle went up my arm. I shivered a little and Roberto winked at me.

I turned my attention back to Leeds who was taking off his shirt. He was facing us and as he unbuttoned his shirt he said, "When I go into town, I am just another bum that people ignore. I cover what I am up with baggy clothes and I never go out at night when my eyes glow." I stared as he removed his shirt. His chest wasn't the same as a regular mans. It was broader and more defined.

"I don't go into town more than I have to. I don't like having to hide my wings beneath these clothes. It would be like you sugar lips, binding those beautiful breasts of yours." I watched closely as he opened his arms wide and looked to the sky. I saw them then, spreading out from the center of his back. It looked like a membrane that was connected with some bones. They must have stretched out three feet on either side of him. I wondered how he had them hidden inside his flannel shirt without anyone knowing. The look on his face was rapturous as he stretched and flapped his wings. Sort of like when I took off a new pair of high heels that I haven't broke in yet.

"What is he?" I whispered to Roberto.

"As far as anyone knows, he is one of a kind. He seems to have some genetic makeup of a dragon."

"Are dragons real?"

"Well, not anymore, but they were at some time. There's speculation that they night have been from the dinosaur family."

"How do you know all of this?"

"We are not without our own scientists and people doing research for the good of our kind."

I looked back at Leeds who stood there in all his dragon glory.

"Can I touch them?"

Roberto looked uncomfortable with that request, but Leeds said, "Sure sugar lips, you can touch anything you want." I walked over to him and softly touched his wing. Leeds let out a moan and I quickly stepped back. "I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"

"God no, that felt so good. It has been many years since someone caressed my wings. It's very erotic you know, having someone stroke and rub your wings."

"That will be enough Leeds." Roberto came over and put his arm around me.

"Damn Roberto, why can't we share her? I'm sure that you get to fuck women all the time. It's been a while for me and then I can't take all of my clothes off or they'll see these babies. I just want her to stroke 'em a little bit."

"Leeds, don't make me hurt you. You can't have my woman."

Before I could even say anything Leeds said, "Well in that case I'm going to take a little flight around here and maybe find a nice quiet place to land and get my rocks off." He then proceeded to unzip his pants and take them off.

"Nothing like flying naked to get you in the mood." I couldn't resist taking a peek and was shocked when I saw him. He was enormous! I don't know how he walked around with a package like that. I had seen many male body parts before, working in a hospital, but I had never ever seen anyone so huge.

I felt Roberto pulling on my hand to turn me away but I couldn't seem to look away.

Leeds laughed. "You like what you see sugar lips? You want to ride the dragon now?"

Leeds flapped his wings and I could feel the wind that he created. I watched in fascination as he slowly lifted off the ground. It was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen, a giant man with a giant erection flapping his giant wings and flying.

All I could think to say was, "Holy Moly. Did you say he was evolved from a dragon or a horse?"

Roberto frowned. "The last few days have been hard on my manhood."

I leaned over and kissed him. "Did you say something about a hard manhood?"

"Mmmm, yes I did," he murmured in between hot kisses.

"Very hard. Let's go inside. Leeds will be gone for a while." I couldn't stop the shivers of anticipation that swept through my body. Roberto swept me up in his arms and let me see the

passion in his blue eyes. He carried me inside and straight to our bedroom.

He set me down on unsteady legs and knelt before me. "I could spend a lifetime making love to you and it would never be enough. I need to taste you Olivia. Please don't say no" I didn't say anything as he lifted my shirt up. I heard his sharp intake of breath. "You are so beautiful here Cara"

I felt his breath against my sensitive skin and my legs almost buckled. Roberto stood and pulled off my shirt and laid me back on the bed with my feet still on the floor. He once again knelt in front of me. I felt his hands on my knees and started shaking when his hands moved slowly up.

The shaking intensified when he used his hands to urge my legs farther apart. He bent his head and placed soft kisses all over my mound while murmuring, "Mmmm, yes Cara, mmmm I can still smell my scent on you. It's making me so hot."

"Roberto! I don't know if I can handle this. I'm losing myself again." I almost screamed.

Roberto continued his assault on me. "Try Cara. Just concentrate on this." He spread my labia open and with the tip of his tongue he licked me from top to bottom.

"Concentrate on my tongue. What it feels like. How wild I am for you."

Through the haze of lust that was building, I concentrated on his tongue. It was wet and soft and it kept moving in the most delicious patterns, making me shake with need. I could feel the lightening building inside me and when Roberto's mouth closed on my clitoris the first waves of climax hit me. I came in a hot rush and still Roberto didn't stop. He spread me farther apart and drove his tongue inside me.

My first climax wasn't over yet and as he slipped his tongue in and out, an even more powerful climax overtook me I lost what little control I had left. I pushed him away from me hard, all the way until he was lying on his back on the floor. I ripped open his pants and grabbed his cock and slid myself down on him. All he could do was grab my hips and let me ride. I couldn't think of anything but the feeling of electrical currents that were running through my body with every hot stroke of his cock inside me. I came in a hot rush and after a few hard pumps Roberto climaxed also. I collapsed on top of Roberto more exhausted than I had ever been in my life.

Roberto rolled us over and scooped me up into his arms. He gently laid me on the bed and covered me up. I felt the bed move as he climbed in beside me and I turned to snuggle close to him. The last thing I remembered was mumbling to Roberto, "I love you." and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up some time later with my stomach growling. Roberto lay beside me in his creepy death sleep. I tried to ignore the rumblings but knew that I couldn't sleep anymore until I had something in my stomach. I quietly slipped out of the bed, trying hard not to make a noise when I remembered that it didn't matter if I sang at the top of my lungs because Roberto could not be disturbed.

Laughing at myself, I sang in a rather loud voice, "I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you," as I slipped on the shirt I wore last night.

When I entered the kitchen I jumped when Leeds said,

"Good morning love machine."

Embarrassed I mumbled, "Good morning Leeds. Did you sleep well?"

"I didn't sleep. I was out running errands for your boyfriend. I got you some clothes, secured a car for you, and contacted your friends."

I jumped up and hugged him. "Did you talk to Janel?"

"I'll tell you if you rub yourself against me some more," he leered.

I took a step back. "You are so bad Leeds, just tell me about Janel."

"Okay okay. Don't get your panties in a twist. I talked to her and she told me to tell you that she misses you and that she is having a great adventure."

Tears came to my eyes. That was my Janel, no matter what; she always would look at the bright side. God I missed her so much.

"Did you tell her that I was okay?"

"Yeah and I told her that you are so hot for my body that you keep tearing my clothes off."

I laughed. "I bet she liked that." Leeds actually laughed himself, "As a matter of fact she did. She asked me how tall I was and what color eyes I have and if I work out everyday. I think we would have been having phone sex if Alex hadn't grabbed the phone."
