Crazy Seduction(erotica)

“Henry! Oh my god! It’s Henry!” Camila cried.

Sigrid shushed everyone fiercely so they could hear.

The committee meeting lasted four hours, and by the end, Henry was almost ready to slip back into a coma. With the promise to return on Monday, giving Henry the weekend to recover, they adjourned. Roy and Mary supported Henry as they made their way up the aisle of the gallery to the doors at the back of the large chamber. Mahati walked behind the two Succubi who were watching Henry anxiously.

“Roy, do you remember Mab’s magic door?” Henry asked.

“Aye,” Roy said cautiously.

“Would you mind if I used one to get us home?”

Roy looked at him sharply. “How do you propose to do that? That’s old realm magic.”

Henry smiled weakly. “Remember, I still have Mab’s finger. The bone is linked to the old realm. It’s like… it’s like I’m carrying a reliquary. I can feel it. And I have… Baba’s knowledge of magic. I can open a door. Please, I just want to go home.”

Roy traded a look with Mary and Mahati. “Sure, lad. If that’s what you need.”

They reached the back of the large chamber and faced the doors. Henry asked them to release him. He stood swaying on his hooves but reached out a hand to touch the door with his right ring finger as his lips moved silently.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

When he pulled his hand back, he knocked on the door. Within seconds, it opened to show the hallway of his condo and the shocked and tear-streaked faces of the ones he loved. Tish pulled him into her arms, and he was gently guided back through the hall as the rest of his group followed.

Mahati was last to cross the threshold and looked back to see the cameras were still focused on them. She smiled and waved before closing the door. She felt the magic dissipate, so she opened the door once more to see their condo building’s hallway. The Capitol Hill meeting room was no longer there. She closed and locked the door with a smile.

The ladies guided him towards the bedroom as they could see he was out on his feet, but he insisted on seeing the babies. Tish and Marisa guided him up to the crib’s side, and he looked down at the two sleeping angels.

“They’re so beautiful! I missed their births. I’m so sorry,” Henry said quietly with tears on his cheeks.

Marisa gently stroked his arm. “You were coming back to us. It’s forgiven.”

“They’re so beautiful!” he sighed.

The ladies smiled, then guided him back out into the hall where the others waited. He hugged and kissed his way through the gauntlet of friends, surprising Mahati and Lorelei with a kiss that caused them both to blush.

Finally, the twin Succubi took his arms and pulled him into the bedroom to ease him down on the bed. They curled up against his sides while keeping a watchful eye on the people staring back at them. Henry was out.

Tish smiled back at the hallway of people. “They seem very protective of him.”

Roy nodded. “Yes, let’s move back and let the boy sleep. He’s performed enough miracles today. We have the weekend to catch up with him.”

Tish shut the door, and the group moved back to the living room.

Camila sighed. “Speaking of over-protective females, have any of you been accosted by Minkah Meskhenet recently? She’s been hanging around VRL, asking about Henry. She had that meltdown that night,” Many nodded as they recalled her panic and rage when the stone woman carried Henry through the rift, and it closed behind her. “She’s been insisting he was alive ever since. I don’t know what senses or abilities Bastets have, but now we know she was right. We’re going to have to let her know he’s back.”

Roy snorted. “If she’s anywhere near a TV, it’s highly likely she already knows.”

Eleanor addressed the group. “How is it possible for him to be alive? I examined him that night. He had no life signs, and his injuries were too severe to sustain life!”

Roy shook his head. “It wasn’t his first time, dying, I mean. When he was severely burned by the lightning strike in Washington, he told us he died but returned and healed his body. I can’t imagine what level of will power it would take to deny death itself.”

They were quiet for a time as they considered that.

Meixiu suddenly stood. “I believe Henry will be very hungry when he wakes. We should purchase the ingredients for a few meals.”

Smiles appeared on the faces of the friends, and Sigrid nodded.

“Let’s make a party out of it!” Tish said as she hugged Sandy and Dayshia, who were both beaming with brilliant smiles. Kesini wrapped herself around all three and hugged them.

“Does anyone else feel like they’ve already eaten a full meal and gotten a good night’s sleep?” Raymond asked, curious. Eleanor nodded with a wide-eyed smile.

Siobhan grinned. Her sight had picked up the fact that Henry was leaking Wild Magic energy like never before. “It’s Henry. The flow of energy passing through him is incredible!”

“You know what that means, don’t you? He’s going to trigger transformations like gasoline thrown on a bonfire,” Roy suggested.

Sigrid nodded. “Yeah, that’s likely. You might want to warn the Congressional Committee.”

“Ach, screw those stuffy bastards. I was thinking about our people at VRL!” Roy growled.

Camila smiled and nodded. “Maybe Henry will need to work from home for a bit.”

Siobhan was looking back towards the hallway. “I think Henry’s going to need to work outside the city for a while. The energy is leaking into the living room now.” Much more slowly, it was soaking through the concrete floors and walls.

“He can work from my mansion!” Meixiu exclaimed, thinking of her home on the border of Connecticut, which she hadn’t parted with yet.

That raised a few smiles as the idea had merit since it was very secluded. With Henry’s Magic Door trick, he could work from there and go anywhere instantly.

Sigrid looked to Meixiu. “Why don’t you and I head up to the mansion tonight? On the way, we’ll pick up groceries to stock the fridges for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, then freshen up the place. Tomorrow, Henry can open a door from here to the mansion so everyone can join us through that.”
