Nate winced and shook his head. “I might have burned a bridge last year. The night I discovered what I was I went to the boss’ Hallowe’en party. She got a little frisky, and I let her take me to bed. Incredibly dumb move but I wasn’t at my best that night. The next day at work when I tried to tell her we should keep things professional, she blew up and fired me. It was quite the scene. Since then, she’s made it her life goal to blackball me with every ad agency and marketing firm in New York. I get jobs at smaller places, but none have offered me anything long term.”
“If you can maintain a professional attitude in the workplace, I have friends in a few larger firms. I could put in a good word and probably get you an interview,” Sigrid said.
He smiled broadly at her. “Lesson learned. I definitely can. That would be wonderful!”
Sigrid smiled. “Give me your cell num- ” She stopped when she saw Camila shake her head.
“OIetha probably took his cell from him when she grabbed him,” the CEO explained.
“It’s ok. I’ll pick up a new one today when I cancel my old one. Speaking of calling, could I call my friend Jo? I need to see if she’s ok,” Nate asked.
“You can use the phone in the waiting room just outside. Dial nine then the number,” Camila said. “Wait for Sigrid when you’re done, ok?” Camila instructed.
“Sure,” he said with a smile as he stood and trotted over to the door.
After stepping through and closing it behind him, he smiled at Felix and used the phone to dial Jo’s cell.
After four rings she picked up. “Hello?” Nate thought she sounded shaky.
“Jo? It’s Nate. Are you ok?”
“Oh my god, Nate! Where are you? You didn’t answer! I thought she got you! It’s all over the news! I know you said not to, but I was about to call the police to see if they found you! I’ve been going out of my mind!” Jo gasped then started to cry.
“I’m so sorry Jo. Are you home?” he asked, his guilt stabbing him deeply.
“Yes,” she managed through her tears.
“They didn’t get me. I’ve been… hiding with some people I met in Manhattan. They got me a lead on a job as well. I’m coming home shortly. Are you going in to work?” he said quietly.
“No… called in sick.”
He frowned. Jo never did that. Something must be seriously wrong. “Ok. I’ll be there soon.”
“Ok,” she said pitifully and hung up.
Nate hung up and looked at the door anxiously. He needed to get home, now. He stood and went to the man’s desk. “I have to leave. Could I leave a message for Sigrid?”
“Certainly,” Felix said handing him a pen and a notepad.
Nate quickly wrote down Jo’s address and a brief message for Sigrid letting her know he’d be back soon.
“Could you see she gets this?” he asked Felix who nodded. “Thanks!”
He headed for the elevators. He needed to see his friend. The one he’d never lied to. All that was going to change and there was nothing he could do about it.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
He had to protect Jo as much as he could.

Henry surfaced to the steady beat of his pulse hammering on his brain. He moaned quietly, and the sound drew him further into consciousness. His face also hurt, and his shoulder was throbbing with each beat of his heart.
“Are you awake again?”
He turned his eyes to see Meixiu standing next to the bed. “Pain.”
“Oh! I’ll ask Sigrid what I should do,” the petite woman said. She tapped out a message on her cell phone, and moments later it pinged with a reply. She squeaked in delight. She loved texting! “I’ll be right back!” Meixiu rushed away.
Henry tried to get comfortable, but it was no use. Everything hurt, and he was so hungry!
Meixiu was suddenly by his side again, and she had a bottle of pills and a bottle of water. “Um, how much pain are you feeling?”
“A great deal of pain,” he gritted out, eyeing the pill bottle.
She looked at the label with a frown. “Oxycodone. Have you taken this before?”
“No.”
Meixiu huffed. “She said I could give you a couple of painkillers so I’ll give you two.”
Henry shifted on the bed and gasped with a spike of pain in his shoulder.
Watching him with concern, she sighed. “Maybe three.”
She poured them into her hand and dropped three pills into Henry’s mouth. She tipped the water bottle to trickle the water into his mouth. Then he swallowed the pills.
“Food?” Henry begged.
Meixiu smiled at him and nodded quickly. “I’ll make you a meal. Back soon.” She skipped out of the room.
He once more tried to adjust himself on the bed to sit up a little and was left panting after he gave up. His head swam, and he closed his eyes but refused to pass out.
Time passed as he stared at nothing in particular. He could hear the occasional sound of Meixiu working in the kitchen. He must have phased out for a bit because he was suddenly aware of the small woman standing on the bed, one foot on either side of him. She took a grip on his torso under his arms and lifted him to a seated position against the headboard of the bed. He was impressed with her strength but waited for the pain which never came. He realized he was feeling pleasantly fuzzy.
Meixiu fed him soup and bread, then a few strips of bacon. He turned his face when he’d had enough.
“You will have steak and vegetables for dinner tonight,” she said with a happy grin.
“This meal was very good,” he sighed contentedly as she dabbed his lips, her eyes twinkled happily.
“Are you in any pain?” she asked.
He shook his head, and the room swam. “Noooo.”
She giggled at his silly look.
His eyes settled on her pretty face, and his smile widened. He was feeling very relaxed, and the pills had obliterated his natural inhibitions. “Has anyone told you how lovely you are?”
She blinked in surprise then burst into embarrassed giggles as she covered her face with her hands.
“Don’t hide your beauty!” he sighed with a pout.
She pulled her hands away, but her eyes still showed how embarrassed she was.
“There she is! So prett-OOMmm!” Henry’s eyes went wide as Meixiu’s mouth was suddenly pressed against his as she’d leapt up on the bed with him.
Henry moved his hand to the back of Meixiu’s head into her silky hair. He noticed her tightly closed eyes and she wasn’t moving her lips but just pressing them against his. He gently sucked her lower lip between his and caressed it with his tongue.
Her eyes opened in surprise, and she pulled back.
“What… what was that?” she asked quietly as she looked at his mouth.
It was his turn to look at her in surprise. An embarrassed shock went through him clearing the fog. “Uh… I was kissing you? Weren’t you kissing me?” He suddenly felt awkward, like he’d overstepped. “You didn’t… that- didn’t you kiss me?” he mumbled.
She was looking into his eyes. “I thought I was kissing you, but I didn’t do what you did!”
“You did kiss me! Good!” Then he had the uncomfortable thought that her kiss was more of a friend zone thing.
“What were you doing?” she asked, her eyes going back to his lips.
“I’m sorry, I thought you were being… intimate. I didn’t understand you were only giving me a friendly kiss. I’m sorry if I offended you or made you uncomfortable.”
She locked on his eyes again. “Do it again.”
Eyebrows climbing, he looked questioningly at her, and she nodded.
He pulled her face gently down to his and sensually caressed her lips, sucking on them lightly. He felt her sucking in surprised breaths, and she moaned softly.
The drugs and the food were fighting to drag him under but she was so soft and delicious, he wanted to keep kissing her. She straddled his body and began rubbing herself over his stiff erection which was covered only by a thin sheet. That felt too good, and his mind began to slide away. He struggled to remain in the here and now, and his kisses took on some of that needful urgency. She was making little desperate sounds of her own as she ground her pussy along the hard ridge of his cock. There was no way his Satyr sized erection would fit inside her small body, but the pleasure they were both feeling from the rubbing was intense.
When he slipped his tongue between her lips, she squeaked and sucked on it. Her body began to shake and twitch as her orgasm struck fiercely.
Henry felt a sudden warmth between them as her orgasm tripped his own release. His eyes rolled back, and he was dragged into oblivion as his mind floated up into the clouds.
Meixiu felt Henry’s body relaxing under her, and she opened her eyes to see he was unconscious. Her body tingled madly from their play, and she felt the heat between them.
Henry was so gentle! She’d told Sigrid of the times Walter had raped her. That monster had not been gentle! She never knew sex could be so tender! She smiled down at her gentle giant, sleeping peacefully.
She moved off the bed and lifted the sheet to look beneath. She grinned as she saw Henry had also enjoyed it. She would need to change the sheets.
Curious, she reached under the sheet to gently run a fingertip through the pool of cum on the hard muscles of Henry’s stomach. Sigrid said she was supercharged by this.
Without a second thought, she dragged her fingers through the mess and scooped it up. Then, she stuck them in her mouth and sucked them clean. As she swallowed, the Wild Magic surged through her body, lightning branching out in all directions. Her head snapped up, and she stumbled back from the bed as every cell in her body sucked in the energy. Tingling became trembling, then shaking. She screamed silently as her vision began to fill with white light and terror shot through her as she recalled her blindness in Walter’s domain.
