Zombies Ahead (Club Zombie, Book One) (6 page)

“They call it many things. But I say zombie.”

“Zombie?” Beau had only read one book with a small reference to such a demonic thing.

“Sir, no looking like that. Death can’t touch you. A blessing and a curse, but if you love as you do now it will always be a blessing.”

“How do we survive?”

Gran laughed. “You need each other.”

Lafayette looked at Beau for a clue, but he had none to give.

The old woman crackled. “Oh honeys. Manseed. Every day. When you are feeling tired or confused, you must have some.”

Beau knew his face was red as the flames in the fireplace as Lafayette repeated as if he needed to understand. “Manseed.”

She opened her toothless mouth and put a finger inside as if prescribing the method in which the fluid needed to be given. Beau’s hands covered his face totally mortified. But clearly in the slave quarters such things were talked about freely because Lafayette chuckled with his Gran.

“How did I get this?” Beau wanted to know. He needed to understand.

“Your family. All the men have this…” Her voice trailed off. “It is in the males of a family line, but it skips one or two generations.”

“There’s more?” Lafayette asked.

“There be many things in this big world. We don’t know it all. I heard tales. Many places be having the zombies. You go and find them. Let them teach you.” Gran smiled. “But you go. Because your uncle he won’t have you with no slave.”

Beau’s hand tightens around Lafayette’s. “I will protect him, Ma’am.”

“I know you will. You a good boy.”

With few other details, Lafayette said good-bye to his only living relative. Beau gathered all the things he could carry that would allow them to change for money. Within an hour, they were galloping away on horses.

They rode through the day until it was dusk. The horses needed a break, so they stopped at an inn. Beau breathlessly took a room and was nervous with the implications.

Before dawn, Lafayette and Beau’s souls were entwined, as were their destinies. The overwhelming happiness saw them through the first few confusing years on their travels around the world. It eventually led them back to South Carolina.

They had papers forged proving he was the long lost kin of the Renou estate that was languishing due to abandonment. Beau wisely invested their money and soon had enough to rebuild. They lived in peaceful harmony exploring their love, which is as strong as it was the day it started.

Kai sighed as he closed the book. He had to admit it was sweet. It gave him a little bit of hope that becoming a zombie wasn’t the end of the world… just the end of the world as he knew it.

Chapter Five: Tour of Club Zombie

Jasper asked again. “Are you sure you want to see the Club?”

Want was a strong word. Kai spent most of his life trying not to want anything because it always led to disappointment. He didn’t want to see it, but there seemed to be a tingle of excitement pushing him towards the experience. “Yes. I want to see it.”

He had been on the grounds for a few weeks, and he was curious to see what Beau and Lafayette created. He might never admit it, but he enjoyed reading about their story, and this was part of them.

Kai thought about Jasper’s impotence and how he would remain unaffected by the anticipation. He, on the other hand, felt like he was daring himself out of his comfort zone with what was surely to be a blatant display of eroticism if the rumors he heard were even half true. The question he couldn’t seem to answer was why he felt the need to do so. The only justification he could find was it would help him control his runaway feelings, and bring his body into line when it came to Jasper.

Club Zombie was set on the backside of the property. Patrons came right off the interstate. The residents reached the club through a maze of underground and above ground walkways. Visitors were never permitted into the residential part of the estate, and many locks ensured the residents’ privacy. According to Jasper, it was the only rule Lafayette and Beau were firm on.

They entered the club through an underground side door, which Kai was sure he would never find again. It was early, but the crowd was starting to build. The club was the size of a large warehouse. The main room was decorated in lush jewel-toned fabrics that made Kai think of India or a desert palace. Low couches and chairs were scattered along the wall in intimate seating areas. Circular booths in dark woods with shimmering curtains gave maximum privacy to tables and the padded benches.

Jasper led him up to a bar. “What do you want to drink?”

“A white Russian.” Kai looked up to admire the multitude of scarves that dripped from the ceiling.

Giving him a crooked smile, Jasper laughed a little. “Hey, Corey. Could we have sparkling water?”

“Course, Jaz.” Corey batted his eyelashes at Jasper, but continued to stand there and stare.

“Why did you order a water?” Kai whined. He could really use a drink, especially as he tried to ignore the pretty man who kept staring at him and Jasper.

“This isn’t Germany. You have two more years here before you’re of legal drinking age.” Jasper nodded to the man who just popped around the bar. “Hey, Jackson.”

Jackson smiled at Jasper and waltzed over to slap Corey on the ass to get him moving. “Flirting again?”

“Mmmmm, if I say yes will you do that again?” Corey purred and melted as Jackson kissed him on the mouth.

“Later, baby, after we finish our shift.” Jackson grinned as he made the promise.

Corey sighed and pouted at Jackson. “Zombie boys need love too.”

Jackson gave him a hard kiss on the mouth. “You’ll get more than love right after we finish our shift, I promise.” After smacking his ass one more time, Jackson moved down the bar to take an order.

Grinning, Corey watched him go before setting the waters down in front of them. His eyes focused on Kai. “You are a mystery to me. Meet Jackson and me tomorrow down by the pond.”

He looked at Jasper for a moment before deciding it would be impolite to refuse without a good reason. “Sure. What time?”

After Corey told him and wiggled away to serve more customers, Jasper smiled. “They are nice guys. You will probably like them.”

Kai wasn’t so sure, but what else did he have to do other then read and wait to talk to Ulrich? Lafayette and Beau had refused to give him any work responsibilities while he was still adjusting to life here. It was frustrating, but it was the first vacation he’d ever gotten, and he didn’t know what to do with it.

“Come on. Let me show you around.” Kai picked up his water and followed Jasper. He found he had to drag his eyes off the guy’s shapely backside more than once.
What the fuck is that?
It must be the cut of his pants. The fabric seemed fused to his ass in the most interesting way.

The temperature seemed to rise as they moved towards the back past the dance floor. It was filled with men in various states of undress writhing to music among the curls of dried ice smoke that wafted between the bodies. The music seemed to reverberate through Kai with its primitive beats. It made him want to jump in the fray so the crowd could swallow him whole.

Jasper stopped in front of a deep purple door. “This is the glory hole room.” He leaned close to Kai’s ear to whisper, “The zombies boys who enjoy the activity usually come in here for a dose of
medicine
.”

Kai opened his mouth to ask a question and immediately shut his mouth as Jasper opened the door. His imagination could never have conjured up the scene in front of him. Men were standing in front of a wall gripping conveniently located handles. Their trousers were at various heights from their waists to their ankles. The bars were placed at various heights and held in death grips as the men humped their asses presumably into holes in the walls.

He looked at Jasper not knowing what to say. Jasper waved him into the room. They ambled slowly down the pathway to the other side of the wall.

The sight made him catch his breath. On the other side of the wall, attractive guys appearing to be in their early twenties were kneeling on deep gold plush cushions.

“Are they all… like us?”

“Yeah. Sometimes non-zombies go on this side of the wall but not right now.”

Kai had seen a few of the kneeling men in passing. He tried to think of something to say but was enthralled by watching them. Some of the guys were holding onto the small handles alongside the wall as their heads bobbed at various speeds others were just waiting for the empty holes in the wall to be filled. From this angle, Kai could see the dicks sawing through the holes and into rather eager mouths.

As soon as Kai realized he was licking his lips, he stopped but not before Jasper had noticed. Thankfully his tour guide didn’t comment on it, but he said, “I think a lot of straight guys come to this room. They don’t see who’s doing it so they can pretend women are back here pleasuring them.”

Kai nodded, but not really understanding. How could a guy not know?

A howl of pleasure rang out, and the zombie three cushions down pushed his face tightly up against the wall, his throat moving as if he was swallowing. He pulled off the short cock and a little come dribbled onto his lips. He looked over at Jasper with a sexy smirk and made a show of licking his swollen lips before his tongue thoroughly cleaned the cock. With only a sigh of pleasure, the dick was pulled away, and Kai could hear the man on the other side of the wall redressing. Within a minute, the man was gone, and another cock had replaced him in the hole, and the recently fed zombie feasted upon the cock jutting out of the hole like he hadn’t seen one in a year. He was all hot enthusiasm as he blew the stranger.

All Kai could hear was the moans of the men being pleasured, and the hard slurping and sucking of the zombies serving them.

“Is it hot in here?” He pulled the collar of his T-shirt.

Jasper stared at him a moment and said seriously, “I don’t think it’s ever been hotter.” The look on his handsome face was confusing to Kai, even as it made his heart stutter as it began to race with some unnamed feeling.

Shutting the door as they moved past another bar. Men seemed to be hunched over their beer. One guy covered his face and groaned as he shoved the barstool he was sitting on closer to the bar. Another threw his head back and cried out in bliss so intense it made Kai envious.

Jasper gestured and quietly explained what Kai didn’t think required an explanation. “This is based on the blow job bars of Thailand. Beer and a BJ for a buck.”

“What kind of beer could those bars give you for a dollar?” Kai had never heard of such a thing. He was German after all. Beer needed to be of quality. He shut his mouth as he realized the actual point wasn’t the beer.
Oh Jesus they were getting blowjobs right at the bar!
He looked quickly at Jasper with full understanding. A light sweat broke out all over him as he watched another man groaned and twitched forward in his seat. The guy’s hips pushed close to the bar.

Jasper grinned at his innocence. “You are too delicious, kid.” He placed his hands on Kai’s shoulders and marched him further into the depths of the warehouse. He thought he heard Jasper mumble for God to give him strength because he had very little left, but Kai wasn’t sure.

“This is hook-up lane.” Jasper gestured to the open area. Beds and horizontal surfaces were scattered among the sheer curtained areas, giving a hint of privacy.

Kai blinked at Jasper. It was all a little overwhelming. Men were laying in different poses. They were caught in the throes of ecstasy. He wasn’t sure if any blood was getting to his head because his cock was taking most of it. He was so aroused. Almost afraid that if he walked too fast the fabric rubbing his cock would give him enough friction to shoot off in his pants.

He bit his lip and promised himself a long shower tonight with lots of shower gel. Then he asked, “Hook-up lane?”

“Yeah, some guys like to do other things than just get oral…” Jasper stopped to stare at Kai. “Other than oral… um… sex.”

Kai was surprised to hear this. “Like what?”

“Like what?” Jasper repeated as if he were in a trance searching Kai’s face for something.

“I know you had your medicine less than two hours ago, so what’s with the dunce routine?” Kai tried to lighten the mood.

It worked. Jasper laughed and shook his head. “Nothing. You are just so young.” He leaned closer to inhale the air around Kai. “And infinitely lovely.”

The thought of the ex-holy man finding him attractive made his heart race. Kai was also getting the impression that Jasper might want to kiss him. It should have made Kai turn away instead it made him tip his head and part his lips in invitation. But Jasper didn’t move.

Kai couldn’t ask why the hell he didn’t kiss him, so he just brought them back to their conversation, “So what can two men do other than, you know…”
Why was it so uncomfortable to speak?
“BJs.”
Why did he need to know?

He watched Jasper shake his head a little before taking a big gulp from his water bottle. He stared as strong throat muscles worked. Jasper looked so enticing, he couldn’t imagine two men doing anything other than swallowing each other’s cocks again and again until they were so satisfied they couldn’t get it up anymore. He’d never had one, but a blowjob sounded so good and right now. His cock seemed to have a preference as to who should be doing the sucking too. Kai shook his head. “Tell me.”

Jasper closed his eyes briefly and took a deep breath. As he inhaled Kai couldn’t help but notice how his muscles rippled beneath his shirt. “They have intercourse, rub off on each other, rim each other, hand jobs, combinations, threesomes, foursomes, you name it. But the essence is still gathered and ingested…”

Kai could only picture some of those things. Jasper seemed to have a starring role in all the actions he could imagine. “Oh,” he said weakly.

They stood and watched men doing all the things Jasper listed and then some. Each time a man indicated he was going to orgasm, his lover would stop to take the climax in his mouth so he could ingest it.
