“Housing
Crisis”
Speaker:by

Speaker:Day
“There
are not
Speaker:enough
Speaker:chicken
Speaker:nuggets
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:world
Speaker:to
Speaker:make
Speaker:me
Speaker:go
Speaker:in
Speaker:there,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said
Speaker:flatly,
Speaker:looking up
Speaker:at
Speaker:the
Speaker:boarded-up
Speaker:windows
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:decrepit
Speaker:Victorian
Speaker:mansion.
Speaker:It
Speaker:was
Speaker:two
Speaker:stories
Speaker:tall,
Speaker:with
Speaker:turrets
Speaker:at
Speaker:two
Speaker:corners
Speaker:and
Speaker:a
Speaker:wraparound
Speaker:porch,
Speaker:sitting
Speaker:on
Speaker:a
Speaker:five-acre
Speaker:estate
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:middle
Speaker:of
Speaker:a
Speaker:North
Speaker:Carolina
Speaker:pine
Speaker:forest,
Speaker:pine
Speaker:saplings
Speaker:growing
Speaker:wild
Speaker:on
Speaker:what
Speaker:had
Speaker:probably once
Speaker:been
Speaker:an
Speaker:immaculate
Speaker:lawn.
Speaker:Even
Speaker:in
Speaker:early
Speaker:October
Speaker:the
Speaker:lingering
Speaker:heat
Speaker:of
Speaker:an
Speaker:extended
Speaker:summer
Speaker:was
Speaker:making
Speaker:the
Speaker:black
Speaker:spots
Speaker:of
Speaker:my
Speaker:cheetah
Speaker:pelt
Speaker:grow
Speaker:uncomfortably
Speaker:warm
Speaker:as
Speaker:we
Speaker:stood
Speaker:outside.
“Aww, c’mon,
Pete,”
Speaker:my
Speaker:girlfriend
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:wheedled. “It’s just
Speaker:a
Speaker:house.”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:was
Speaker:an
Speaker:Indian
Speaker:tigress
Speaker:a
Speaker:good
Speaker:half-meter taller than
Speaker:I
Speaker:was, dressed in her
Speaker:usual
Speaker:cargo
Speaker:shorts
Speaker:and
Speaker:a
Speaker:t-shirt
Speaker:tight
Speaker:enough
Speaker:to
Speaker:show
Speaker:off her
Speaker:ample
Speaker:muscles,
Speaker:her
Speaker:pack
Speaker:of
Speaker:photography
Speaker:gear
Speaker:slug
Speaker:over her
Speaker:shoulder.
Speaker:Given
Speaker:her
Speaker:size
Speaker:and
Speaker:strength,
Speaker:wheedling
Speaker:wasn’t
Speaker:her
Speaker:usual
Speaker:way
Speaker:of…
Speaker:well,
Speaker:getting
Speaker:her
Speaker:way.
“Yes,”
I
Speaker:said. “A house
Speaker:that’s
Speaker:almost
Speaker:two-hundred years
Speaker:old,
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:middle
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:woods,
Speaker:probably
Speaker:built
Speaker:by
Speaker:slave
Speaker:owners,
Speaker:likely
Speaker:with
Speaker:secret
Speaker:passages,
Speaker:abandoned…”
“It
wasn’t
Speaker:abandoned,”
Speaker:Chaula interrupted. “My Uncle Taresh bought it at an
Speaker:auction for
Speaker:unpaid
Speaker:taxes.”
“I
think
Speaker:your
Speaker:Uncle
Speaker:Taresh
Speaker:has
Speaker:poor
Speaker:judgement
Speaker:in
Speaker:property
Speaker:deals,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said. “I
Speaker:still
Speaker:get
Speaker:nightmares
Speaker:from
Speaker:when
Speaker:we
Speaker:did
Speaker:that
Speaker:photoshoot
Speaker:at
Speaker:the
Speaker:asylum he
Speaker:bought.”
Chaula waved
one of her big
Speaker:paws
Speaker:at
Speaker:the
Speaker:front
Speaker:porch. “This
Speaker:is
Speaker:completely
Speaker:different!
Speaker:It’s
Speaker:just
Speaker:a
Speaker:house!
Speaker:Stop being a
Speaker:scaredy
Speaker:cheetah.”
“Was it
built
Speaker:on
Speaker:an
Speaker:ancient
Speaker:Native
Speaker:American
Speaker:burial
Speaker:ground?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:asked. “With
Speaker:wood
Speaker:from
Speaker:the
Speaker:Mary
Speaker:Celeste?”
“No.
It’s
Speaker:just
Speaker:a
Speaker:house.”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:said
Speaker:firmly. “It
Speaker:belonged
Speaker:to
Speaker:some
Speaker:tech
Speaker:bro
Speaker:who
Speaker:bought
Speaker:it
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:late 90’s
Speaker:but
Speaker:never
Speaker:did
Speaker:anything
Speaker:with
Speaker:it
Speaker:before
Speaker:he
Speaker:went
Speaker:bankrupt.
Speaker:That’s
Speaker:why
Speaker:it’s
Speaker:been
Speaker:sitting
Speaker:like
Speaker:this
Speaker:for
Speaker:so
Speaker:long.”
Speaker:She
Speaker:gave
Speaker:me
Speaker:a
Speaker:pleading
Speaker:expression. “Please,
Speaker:Pete?
Speaker:I’ll
Speaker:split
Speaker:whatever
Speaker:Uncle
Speaker:Taresh
Speaker:gives
Speaker:me
Speaker:for
Speaker:doing
Speaker:a photo
Speaker:inventory 50/50
Speaker:with
Speaker:you.”
“All right,”
I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:giving
Speaker:in. “And
Speaker:I
Speaker:get
Speaker:full
Speaker:rights
Speaker:if
Speaker:we
Speaker:decide
Speaker:to
Speaker:do
Speaker:any
Speaker:glamor
Speaker:photography
Speaker:while
Speaker:we’re
Speaker:here.”
“Eh,
that’s
Speaker:fair,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:agreed.
“And
we’re
Speaker:out of
Speaker:here
Speaker:before
Speaker:sunset!”
“Yes,
Pete,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:said,
Speaker:giving
Speaker:me
Speaker:a
Speaker:fond rub
Speaker:between
Speaker:the
Speaker:ears.
Speaker:I
Speaker:ducked
Speaker:my
Speaker:head
Speaker:and
Speaker:tried
Speaker:to
Speaker:swat at
Speaker:her,
Speaker:but
Speaker:she
Speaker:straight-armed
Speaker:me
Speaker:and
Speaker:laughed
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:only
Speaker:slapped
Speaker:air.
I
fetched
Speaker:and
Speaker:carried
Speaker:as Chaula
Speaker:set
Speaker:up
Speaker:her
Speaker:tripod
Speaker:and
Speaker:camera,
Speaker:snapping
Speaker:photos
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:front,
Speaker:sides,
Speaker:and
Speaker:rear
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:house.
Speaker:Eventually
Speaker:we
Speaker:made
Speaker:it
Speaker:back
Speaker:to
Speaker:the
Speaker:front
Speaker:door,
Speaker:and
Speaker:I
Speaker:looked it
Speaker:over
Speaker:as
Speaker:Chaula fished
Speaker:the
Speaker:key
Speaker:for
Speaker:the
Speaker:lock
Speaker:out
Speaker:of
Speaker:her
Speaker:pocket. “Who
Speaker:were
Speaker:the
Speaker:original
Speaker:builders
Speaker:of
Speaker:this
Speaker:place?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:asked.
“English
lions
Speaker:I
Speaker:think,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:said,
Speaker:finally
Speaker:unlocking the
Speaker:door
Speaker:and
Speaker:pushing
Speaker:it
Speaker:open.
Speaker:It
Speaker:opened
Speaker:into
Speaker:a
Speaker:dim
Speaker:foyer,
Speaker:with
Speaker:an
Speaker:opening
Speaker:leading
Speaker:to
Speaker:a
Speaker:central
Speaker:living
Speaker:room.
Speaker:The
Speaker:furnishings
Speaker:were “contemporary”
Speaker:stuff from the 1970’s,
Speaker:the reddish-brown upholstery
Speaker:covered
Speaker:in
Speaker:a
Speaker:thick
Speaker:layer
Speaker:of
Speaker:dust. “Ugh, now
Speaker:this
Speaker:is
Speaker:horrifying,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:muttered,
Speaker:waving
Speaker:her
Speaker:flashlight
Speaker:around.
Speaker:She
Speaker:turned
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:grabbed
Speaker:a
Speaker:chair
Speaker:and
Speaker:started
Speaker:dragging
Speaker:it
Speaker:towards
Speaker:the
Speaker:front
Speaker:door. “What
Speaker:are
Speaker:you
Speaker:doing,
Speaker:Pete?” she asked.
“Propping
the front
Speaker:door
Speaker:open
Speaker:so
Speaker:it can’t ‘accidentally’
Speaker:shut
Speaker:on
Speaker:us,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:replied,
Speaker:jamming
Speaker:the
Speaker:chair
Speaker:between
Speaker:the
Speaker:heavy
Speaker:door
Speaker:and
Speaker:the
Speaker:door frame.
She
raised
Speaker:an
Speaker:eyebrow
Speaker:at
Speaker:me. “You honestly think you ran into ghosts at
Speaker:the
Speaker:asylum last
Speaker:year?”
“I
know
Speaker:I
Speaker:ran
Speaker:into
Speaker:ghosts,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:told
Speaker:her. “I’m
Speaker:not
Speaker:letting
Speaker:myself
Speaker:get
Speaker:stuck
Speaker:in
Speaker:a
Speaker:padded
Speaker:cell
Speaker:again.”
“I
doubt
Speaker:this
Speaker:place has
Speaker:a
Speaker:padded
Speaker:cell,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:tried
Speaker:to
Speaker:assure
Speaker:me. “Or
Speaker:accommodations for a madvixen
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:attic.
Speaker:In
Speaker:fact…”
Speaker:She
Speaker:reached
Speaker:over
Speaker:and
Speaker:flipped
Speaker:a
Speaker:switch. The lamp in the living room flipped on,
Speaker:dispelling most
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:gloom. “Ha! Uncle Taresh got the power
Speaker:company
Speaker:to
Speaker:turn
Speaker:the
Speaker:juice
Speaker:back
Speaker:on.”
“Good,”
I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:kicking some
Speaker:dust off my
Speaker:footpad
Speaker:from
Speaker:the
Speaker:floor. With the lights on 90% of the
Speaker:creepy
Speaker:atmosphere
Speaker:disappeared.
Speaker:It
Speaker:was
Speaker:just
Speaker:a
Speaker:big
Speaker:house
Speaker:now,
Speaker:with
Speaker:a lot
Speaker:of
Speaker:tacky
Speaker:furnishings
Speaker:from
Speaker:before
Speaker:I
Speaker:was
Speaker:born.
Speaker:I
Speaker:followed
Speaker:Chaula as
Speaker:she
Speaker:moved
Speaker:through
Speaker:the
Speaker:first
Speaker:floor,
Speaker:snapping
Speaker:pictures of
Speaker:the
Speaker:walls
Speaker:and
Speaker:ceilings
Speaker:so her
Speaker:uncle
Speaker:could
Speaker:get
Speaker:an
Speaker:idea
Speaker:about
Speaker:the
Speaker:structural
Speaker:integrity
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:place.
Speaker:When
Speaker:she
Speaker:reached
Speaker:the
Speaker:kitchen
Speaker:though,
Speaker:she
Speaker:let
Speaker:out
Speaker:a
Speaker:shriek
Speaker:and
Speaker:stepped
Speaker:back
Speaker:suddenly. “What’s
Speaker:wrong?!”
Speaker:I
Speaker:demanded.
“Ugh!
Apricot
Speaker:colored
Speaker:enamel
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:kitchen
Speaker:appliances!”
Speaker:she
Speaker:cried
Speaker:out
Speaker:in mock
Speaker:terror. “I’m
Speaker:pretty
Speaker:sure
Speaker:that’s
Speaker:a
Speaker:crime
Speaker:against
Speaker:good
Speaker:taste.”
“Jesus
Chaula,
Speaker:don’t
Speaker:give
Speaker:a
Speaker:heart
Speaker:attack!”
Speaker:I
Speaker:complained.
“Sorry,”
she
Speaker:said,
Speaker:grinning
Speaker:down
Speaker:at
Speaker:me.
Speaker:She
Speaker:opened
Speaker:the
Speaker:cabinets,
Speaker:taking
Speaker:quick
Speaker:photos
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:dusty
Speaker:glasses
Speaker:and
Speaker:plates, and
Speaker:noting
Speaker:the
Speaker:empty
Speaker:food
Speaker:cupboards. “Whoever
Speaker:lived
Speaker:here
Speaker:last
Speaker:cleaned
Speaker:out
Speaker:all
Speaker:the
Speaker:food
Speaker:before
Speaker:they
Speaker:left,
Speaker:but
Speaker:they
Speaker:left
Speaker:all
Speaker:the
Speaker:kitchen
Speaker:stuff
Speaker:and
Speaker:furniture.
Speaker:I
Speaker:wonder
Speaker:why?”
“Shouldn’t
there
Speaker:have
Speaker:been
Speaker:an
Speaker:estate
Speaker:sale?” I asked.
“You’d
think.”
Speaker:She opened a narrow door
Speaker:that revealed
Speaker:an
Speaker:equally
Speaker:narrow
Speaker:set
Speaker:of
Speaker:stairs
Speaker:leading
Speaker:up. “Ah,
Speaker:here’s your
Speaker:secret
Speaker:passage,
Speaker:Pete.
Speaker:Servant
Speaker:stairs,
Speaker:to
Speaker:bring
Speaker:up
Speaker:food
Speaker:to
Speaker:the
Speaker:other
Speaker:floors.”
Speaker:She
Speaker:squeezed
Speaker:herself
Speaker:through
Speaker:the
Speaker:door
Speaker:and
Speaker:started
Speaker:climbing
Speaker:upwards.
“I’ll
use
Speaker:the other
Speaker:stairs and meet you up top,” I
Speaker:told
Speaker:her.
“Wiiiiimp!”
she
Speaker:called
Speaker:back
Speaker:sarcastically.
I
jogged
Speaker:out of
Speaker:the
Speaker:kitchen
Speaker:to
Speaker:the
Speaker:central
Speaker:atrium,
Speaker:where a
Speaker:wide
Speaker:set
Speaker:of
Speaker:stairs
Speaker:rose
Speaker:and
Speaker:split
Speaker:to
Speaker:either
Speaker:side
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:balcony
Speaker:that
Speaker:circled
Speaker:it.
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:emerged
Speaker:a
Speaker:moment
Speaker:later
Speaker:from
Speaker:the
Speaker:false
Speaker:panel
Speaker:that
Speaker:hide
Speaker:the
Speaker:servant’s
Speaker:stairwell,
Speaker:coughing
Speaker:and
Speaker:brushing
Speaker:dust
Speaker:out
Speaker:of
Speaker:her head pelt. “Mah sweet lawd! When did it get
Speaker:so
Speaker:gawdawful
Speaker:dusty
Speaker:in
Speaker:there?”
Speaker:she
Speaker:complained,
Speaker:putting
Speaker:on
Speaker:a
Speaker:terrible
Speaker:Southern
Speaker:accent.
“Don’t
clean
Speaker:for
Speaker:thirty
Speaker:years,
Speaker:and
Speaker:it
Speaker:can
Speaker:happen,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:reaching
Speaker:up
Speaker:on
Speaker:my
Speaker:tip
Speaker:toes
Speaker:to
Speaker:wipe
Speaker:some
Speaker:grey
Speaker:dust
Speaker:bunnies
Speaker:from
Speaker:her
Speaker:headpelt.
“Thank
you,
Speaker:sugar!”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:said
Speaker:in
Speaker:that
Speaker:same
Speaker:silly
Speaker:accent.
Speaker:She
Speaker:looked
Speaker:me
Speaker:up
Speaker:and
Speaker:down,
Speaker:as
Speaker:if
Speaker:seeing
Speaker:me
Speaker:for
Speaker:the
Speaker:first time. “Well, I declare! Ain’t you the cutest little chee I evah did see!”
“Chaula, what’s
with
Speaker:the goofy
Speaker:southern
Speaker:belle
Speaker:act?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:asked her,
Speaker:wiping
Speaker:sweat
Speaker:off
Speaker:my
Speaker:brow.
Speaker:It
Speaker:was
Speaker:hot
Speaker:up
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:second
Speaker:floor,
Speaker:especially
Speaker:with
Speaker:all the
Speaker:windows
Speaker:boarded
Speaker:shut.
“Chaula?”
she
Speaker:asked. “Is that what this big ol’ tiger’s name is? That
Speaker:sounds
Speaker:downright
Speaker:exotic.”
“Chaula,
what
Speaker:the
Speaker:hell
Speaker:are
Speaker:you
Speaker:trying
Speaker:to p-,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:started
Speaker:to
Speaker:say,
Speaker:then
Speaker:stopped. Chaula’s
Speaker:eyes,
Speaker:normally
Speaker:a
Speaker:deep
Speaker:brown,
Speaker:had
Speaker:turned
Speaker:bright
Speaker:blue
Speaker:somehow,
Speaker:and
Speaker:they
Speaker:were
Speaker:staring
Speaker:down
Speaker:at
Speaker:me
Speaker:in a
Speaker:way
Speaker:that
Speaker:looked
Speaker:disturbingly
Speaker:hungry. “Ah…
Speaker:are
Speaker:you…
Speaker:all right?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:finished.
“Never better,
sugar,”
Speaker:Chaula,
Speaker:or
Speaker:at
Speaker:least
Speaker:whatever
Speaker:was
Speaker:in
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:body
Speaker:said. “It’s
Speaker:been so
Speaker:very
Speaker:long
Speaker:since a
Speaker:lady
Speaker:came
Speaker:up
Speaker:those
Speaker:stairs.
Speaker:I
Speaker:thought
Speaker:ah’d
Speaker:just
Speaker:fade
Speaker:away
Speaker:to
Speaker:nothing
Speaker:without
Speaker:ever
Speaker:bein’
Speaker:satisfied.”
Speaker:She
Speaker:smiled
Speaker:again,
Speaker:scooping
Speaker:me
Speaker:up
Speaker:in Chaula’s
Speaker:strong
Speaker:arms
Speaker:to
Speaker:plant
Speaker:a
Speaker:deep
Speaker:kiss
Speaker:on
Speaker:my
Speaker:mouth.
“Mmmrph!”
was
Speaker:my
Speaker:brilliant
Speaker:response,
Speaker:as
Speaker:my
Speaker:legs
Speaker:kicked
Speaker:the
Speaker:air.
Speaker:Okay,
Speaker:getting
Speaker:kissed
Speaker:like
Speaker:this
Speaker:was
Speaker:one
Speaker:of
Speaker:my
Speaker:favorite
Speaker:pastimes,
Speaker:but I preferred it
Speaker:when
Speaker:my
Speaker:girlfriend
Speaker:wasn’t
Speaker:possessed,
Speaker:thank
Speaker:you
Speaker:very
Speaker:much!
Speaker:When
Speaker:she
Speaker:released
Speaker:my
Speaker:mouth,
Speaker:I
Speaker:gasped, “Uh,
Speaker:hey.
Speaker:We
Speaker:haven’t
Speaker:been
Speaker:introduced
Speaker:yet.
Speaker:I’m
Speaker:Pete.
Speaker:And
Speaker:you
Speaker:are?”
“Name’s
Mirabelle,
Speaker:Petey,”
Speaker:she said, still
Speaker:squeezing me against Chaula’s
Speaker:ample
Speaker:chest. “Ah’m
Speaker:so
Speaker:happy
Speaker:to
Speaker:meet
Speaker:you.”
“Pleasure’s
all
Speaker:mine,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:panted. “Look,
Speaker:you
Speaker:seem
Speaker:like
Speaker:a very, ah,
Speaker:friendly
Speaker:person, but I
Speaker:need
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:for
Speaker:a
Speaker:second.
Speaker:Where
Speaker:is
Speaker:she
Speaker:right
Speaker:now?”
“Oh,
Chaula’s sitting
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:back seat,
Speaker:you
Speaker:could
Speaker:say,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:replied, tittering as she set me back down. “She’ll be just fiiiiine. I promise I won’t overstay
Speaker:mah welcome.”
“That’s
very
Speaker:nice
Speaker:of
Speaker:you,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:trying
Speaker:to
Speaker:regain
Speaker:my
Speaker:balance. “But
Speaker:I
Speaker:need
Speaker:to
Speaker:speak to her,
Speaker:okay?
Speaker:I
Speaker:need
Speaker:to
Speaker:know
Speaker:she’s
Speaker:all
Speaker:right.”
“Fiddlesticks,”
Mirabelle
Speaker:said,
Speaker:looking
Speaker:grumpy. “I
Speaker:just
Speaker:told
Speaker:you
Speaker:she’s
Speaker:all
Speaker:right.
Speaker:Once
Speaker:I
Speaker:get
Speaker:what
Speaker:I
Speaker:need,
Speaker:I’ll
Speaker:give
Speaker:her
Speaker:right
Speaker:back.
Speaker:Cross
Speaker:mah
Speaker:heart
Speaker:and
Speaker:hope
Speaker:to…
Speaker:well, maybe
Speaker:not
Speaker:die
Speaker:exactly.
Speaker:You
Speaker:don’t really
Speaker:need
Speaker:to talk
Speaker:right
Speaker:now,
Speaker:do
Speaker:ya,
Speaker:sugar?”
“Yes,
I
Speaker:do,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said
Speaker:firmly. “I
Speaker:need
Speaker:to
Speaker:speak
Speaker:to Chaula,
Speaker:okay?
Speaker:Otherwise,
Speaker:I’m
Speaker:not
Speaker:going
Speaker:along
Speaker:with
Speaker:anything
Speaker:you
Speaker:say.”
“Oh,
fiddlesticks,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:repeated,
Speaker:then
Speaker:she
Speaker:sighed,
Speaker:blinked,
Speaker:and
Speaker:suddenly
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:eyes
Speaker:were
Speaker:brown
Speaker:again.
“Pete!
What’s
Speaker:going
Speaker:on!”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:shouted
Speaker:in
Speaker:her
Speaker:normal
Speaker:accent,
Speaker:ears
Speaker:laying
Speaker:back
Speaker:in
Speaker:terror.
“You’re
being
Speaker:possessed
Speaker:by
Speaker:the
Speaker:Ghost
Speaker:of
Speaker:Plantations
Speaker:Past,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said. “Do
Speaker:you
Speaker:remember
Speaker:what
Speaker:happened?”
“I
don’t
Speaker:know,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:said. “I
Speaker:was
Speaker:climbing up
Speaker:the
Speaker:stairs,
Speaker:then it
Speaker:felt
Speaker:like
Speaker:I
Speaker:slipped
Speaker:and
Speaker:was
Speaker:falling
Speaker:backwards.
Speaker:Next
Speaker:thing
Speaker:I
Speaker:know
Speaker:I’m
Speaker:talking
Speaker:to
Speaker:you
Speaker:in
Speaker:that
Speaker:stupid
Speaker:Southern
Speaker:accent.”
Speaker:Her eyes
Speaker:blinked
Speaker:blue
Speaker:again, and she stated angrily, “Watch who y’all are calling stupid, sugar!” Chaula
Speaker:closed
Speaker:her
Speaker:eyes
Speaker:tight,
Speaker:clamping
Speaker:her
Speaker:paw over her
Speaker:muzzle,
Speaker:and
Speaker:spoke
Speaker:to
Speaker:me
Speaker:normally
Speaker:again. “Okay,
Speaker:I
Speaker:guess
Speaker:that
Speaker:little
Speaker:story
Speaker:I
Speaker:read
Speaker:was
Speaker:true,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:said,
Speaker:trying
Speaker:to
Speaker:regain
Speaker:her
Speaker:breath.
“What
story?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:demanded.
Chaula
looked
Speaker:embarrassed. “It
Speaker:was in
Speaker:the
Speaker:paperwork
Speaker:Uncle Taresh
Speaker:gave
Speaker:me,
Speaker:along
Speaker:with
Speaker:the
Speaker:key
Speaker:to
Speaker:the
Speaker:house. It
Speaker:was
Speaker:a
Speaker:newspaper
Speaker:article
Speaker:about
Speaker:some
Speaker:vixen
Speaker:who
Speaker:was
Speaker:dating
Speaker:the
Speaker:son
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:house’s
Speaker:original
Speaker:owner in the 1890’s. I guess she was, er, unsuitable
Speaker:or
Speaker:something…”
“The phrase y’all
are
Speaker:looking
Speaker:for is ‘soiled dove,’
Speaker:sweetie,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:added
Speaker:helpfully
Speaker:through
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:mouth.
“Anyway,”
Chaula
Speaker:continued. “It
Speaker:said
Speaker:she
Speaker:snuck
Speaker:into
Speaker:the
Speaker:house,
Speaker:and
Speaker:I
Speaker:guess
Speaker:was
Speaker:going
Speaker:up
Speaker:the
Speaker:servant’s
Speaker:stairs
Speaker:to meet
Speaker:him
Speaker:in
Speaker:his
Speaker:room,
Speaker:when
Speaker:she
Speaker:either
Speaker:tripped
Speaker:or
Speaker:was
Speaker:pushed...”
“Oh, I was
definitely
Speaker:pushed,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:said.
“…and
broke
Speaker:her
Speaker:neck,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:finished.
Speaker:She
Speaker:cleared
Speaker:her
Speaker:throat. “Um,
Speaker:it’s
Speaker:said
Speaker:she
Speaker:still
Speaker:haunts
Speaker:the
Speaker:house.”
I
sighed,
Speaker:rubbing
Speaker:my
Speaker:muzzle
Speaker:briefly. “And
Speaker:you
Speaker:didn’t
Speaker:tell
Speaker:me
Speaker:this
Speaker:before
Speaker:we
Speaker:went
Speaker:inside
Speaker:because…?”
“I
know
Speaker:you’ve
Speaker:been
Speaker:twitchy
Speaker:ever
Speaker:since
Speaker:the
Speaker:last
Speaker:time
Speaker:we
Speaker:did
Speaker:a
Speaker:photo survey for Uncle Taresh,” Chaula said. “I
Speaker:thought
Speaker:if
Speaker:I
Speaker:told
Speaker:you,
Speaker:you
Speaker:would
Speaker:have
Speaker:balked
Speaker:and
Speaker:said
Speaker:no.”
“Yes,
I
Speaker:would
Speaker:have.
Speaker:For
Speaker:what
Speaker:I
Speaker:hope
Speaker:now
Speaker:are
Speaker:very
Speaker:obvious
Speaker:reasons,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said
Speaker:in
Speaker:frustration. “Now
Speaker:do
Speaker:you
Speaker:believe
Speaker:in
Speaker:ghosts?”
“Yes,
I
Speaker:do.
Speaker:I’m
Speaker:sorry
Speaker:I ever
Speaker:doubted
Speaker:you
Speaker:about
Speaker:the
Speaker:asylum
Speaker:thing,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:said,
Speaker:only
Speaker:for Mirabelle to butt in with, “What
Speaker:asylum
Speaker:thing?”
“Long,
boring
Speaker:story,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:lied. “Listen,
Speaker:getting
Speaker:back
Speaker:to
Speaker:the
Speaker:subject
Speaker:at
Speaker:hand.
Speaker:You
Speaker:can’t
Speaker:stay
Speaker:in
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:body forever.”
“I’m
not
Speaker:gonna
Speaker:do
Speaker:that,
Speaker:sugar,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:said. “All
Speaker:I
Speaker:wanna
Speaker:do
Speaker:is
Speaker:finish
Speaker:what
Speaker:I
Speaker:started.
Speaker:You
Speaker:understand,
Speaker:right?”
“Okay,
yeah,
Speaker:a ghost needs to
Speaker:finish
Speaker:whatever
Speaker:they
Speaker:were
Speaker:interrupted
Speaker:doing
Speaker:before
Speaker:moving
Speaker:on to
Speaker:their
Speaker:next
Speaker:life.
Speaker:I
Speaker:understand,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said. “What
Speaker:is
Speaker:it that
Speaker:you
Speaker:need
Speaker:to…?
Speaker:Oh…,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:finished
Speaker:lamely.
“You
got
Speaker:it,
Speaker:sugar.
Speaker:Just
Speaker:let
Speaker:me
Speaker:finish
Speaker:mah
Speaker:little
Speaker:rendezvous,
Speaker:and
Speaker:I’ll
Speaker:be
Speaker:on
Speaker:mah
Speaker:way
Speaker:to
Speaker:Heaven.”
Speaker:She
Speaker:grinned
Speaker:down
Speaker:at
Speaker:me. “Maybe
Speaker:I
Speaker:can
Speaker:show
Speaker:you
Speaker:a little slice of Heaven while we’re at it.”
“Pete’s my
boyfriend,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:insisted,
Speaker:taking back
Speaker:control
Speaker:for
Speaker:a
Speaker:moment. “I’m
Speaker:not
Speaker:sharing
Speaker:him
Speaker:with
Speaker:you.”
“Oh,
come
Speaker:on,
Speaker:sugar. It’ll still be your body,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:insisted. “It won’t
Speaker:take
Speaker:more
Speaker:than
Speaker:ten
Speaker:minutes,
Speaker:I
Speaker:promise!”
“Ten
minutes?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:exclaimed. “Look,
Speaker:I’ll
Speaker:admit
Speaker:I’m
Speaker:not
Speaker:the
Speaker:greatest
Speaker:lay
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:world,
Speaker:but
Speaker:I
Speaker:can
Speaker:do
Speaker:a
Speaker:bit
Speaker:better
Speaker:than
Speaker:that.”
“Wait,
Pete, are
Speaker:you
Speaker:actually
Speaker:suggesting
Speaker:we
Speaker:go
Speaker:along
Speaker:with
Speaker:this?”
Speaker:Chaula asked. “Also,
Speaker:seriously,
Speaker:ten
Speaker:lousy
Speaker:minutes? What kind of bhosadiwale
Speaker:were
Speaker:you
Speaker:dating
Speaker:before?”
“Look,
obviously
Speaker:nothing
Speaker:is
Speaker:going
Speaker:to
Speaker:happen
Speaker:without
Speaker:your
Speaker:permission,
Speaker:Chaula,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said. “Also,
Speaker:what
Speaker:the
Speaker:heck
Speaker:does
Speaker:bhosawhatever
Speaker:mean,
Speaker:anyway?”
“I
don’t
Speaker:know,
Speaker:but
Speaker:it
Speaker:sounds
Speaker:exotic,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:said
Speaker:with
Speaker:interest.
“It
just
Speaker:means ‘dumb fuck’ in
Speaker:Hindu,” Chaula
Speaker:said. “But
Speaker:if
Speaker:you
Speaker:describe
Speaker:anything
Speaker:about
Speaker:me
Speaker:as ‘exotic’
Speaker:one
Speaker:more
Speaker:time,
Speaker:I’m
Speaker:going to
Speaker:punch
Speaker:you
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:face.
Speaker:Even
Speaker:if
Speaker:it
Speaker:is
Speaker:my
Speaker:face.”
“Fiiine,”
Mirabelle pouted. “Now
Speaker:what
Speaker:say we
Speaker:get
Speaker:on
Speaker:over
Speaker:to the
Speaker:master
Speaker:bedroom
Speaker:and
Speaker:finish
Speaker:what
Speaker:I
Speaker:started?”
Speaker:Without waiting
Speaker:for
Speaker:an
Speaker:answer,
Speaker:she
Speaker:scooped
Speaker:me
Speaker:up
Speaker:and
Speaker:carried
Speaker:me
Speaker:into
Speaker:a
Speaker:large
Speaker:bedroom
Speaker:with
Speaker:boarded
Speaker:over
Speaker:French
Speaker:doors
Speaker:that
Speaker:led
Speaker:out onto a balcony. Mirabelle set
Speaker:me
Speaker:on
Speaker:my
Speaker:feet
Speaker:and
Speaker:pulled
Speaker:the
Speaker:sheets
Speaker:off
Speaker:a
Speaker:king-sized
Speaker:bed
Speaker:with
Speaker:a
Speaker:padded orange velour headboard. “Ew! What kinda bed is
Speaker:this?” she
Speaker:demanded.
“It’s
what
Speaker:the
Speaker:future
Speaker:was
Speaker:supposed
Speaker:to
Speaker:look
Speaker:like
Speaker:fifty
Speaker:years
Speaker:ago,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:told her.
“I’m glad I was dead when they redecorated then,” Mirabelle declared. She began
tugging
Speaker:off
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:top. “Now
Speaker:let’s
Speaker:get
Speaker:a head
Speaker:of
Speaker:steam
Speaker:on
Speaker:this
Speaker:locomotive!”
“Not
so
Speaker:fast!”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:interrupted,
Speaker:yanking
Speaker:her
Speaker:shirt
Speaker:back
Speaker:down. “I’m
Speaker:not
Speaker:letting
Speaker:you
Speaker:get
Speaker:down
Speaker:and
Speaker:dirty
Speaker:with
Speaker:Pete
Speaker:until
Speaker:I
Speaker:know
Speaker:I’ll
Speaker:still be
Speaker:in
Speaker:charge
Speaker:when
Speaker:you’re
Speaker:finished.”
“Aren’t you
the
Speaker:big ol’
Speaker:paranoid,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:grumped. “I
Speaker:already
Speaker:told
Speaker:you
Speaker:I’d
Speaker:give
Speaker:you
Speaker:your
Speaker:body
Speaker:back.”
“I’m
not
Speaker:taking
Speaker:chances.”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:lay
Speaker:back
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:bed
Speaker:and
Speaker:told
Speaker:me, “Pete,
Speaker:there
Speaker:should
Speaker:be
Speaker:a
Speaker:set
Speaker:of
Speaker:cuffs
Speaker:in
Speaker:my
Speaker:bag.
Speaker:Get
Speaker:them
Speaker:out
Speaker:for
Speaker:me.”
I
gave
Speaker:her
Speaker:a
Speaker:gimlet
Speaker:eye. “Why
Speaker:did
Speaker:you
Speaker:bring
Speaker:bondage
Speaker:gear
Speaker:to
Speaker:a
Speaker:real
Speaker:estate
Speaker:photoshoot,
Speaker:Chaula?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:demanded,
Speaker:my
Speaker:ears
Speaker:heating
Speaker:up.
“Well,
y’know,
Speaker:in
Speaker:case
Speaker:I,
Speaker:er, got
Speaker:inspired
Speaker:to
Speaker:take
Speaker:some
Speaker:photos
Speaker:of
Speaker:you
Speaker:in
Speaker:your
Speaker:gear,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:replied,
Speaker:looking
Speaker:equally
Speaker:embarrassed.
Speaker:At
Speaker:my
Speaker:continued
Speaker:dirty
Speaker:look,
Speaker:she
Speaker:added, “Come
Speaker:on,
Speaker:Pete.
Speaker:You
Speaker:know
Speaker:those
Speaker:photosets
Speaker:always
Speaker:sell
Speaker:the
Speaker:best!”
I
just
Speaker:shook
Speaker:my
Speaker:head. “The
Speaker:things
Speaker:I
Speaker:do
Speaker:for
Speaker:hot,
Speaker:dangerous
Speaker:girlfriends.”
Speaker:I
Speaker:dug
Speaker:into
Speaker:her
Speaker:bag,
Speaker:pulling
Speaker:out
Speaker:a
Speaker:set
Speaker:of
Speaker:padded leather
Speaker:wrist
Speaker:and
Speaker:ankle
Speaker:cuffs,
Speaker:a
Speaker:few
Speaker:short
Speaker:chains,
Speaker:and
Speaker:a
Speaker:wire
Speaker:muzzle
Speaker:harness.
Speaker:I
Speaker:gave
Speaker:her
Speaker:another
Speaker:look
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:held
Speaker:up
Speaker:the
Speaker:last
Speaker:item. “You
Speaker:know
Speaker:I
Speaker:hate
Speaker:this
Speaker:thing.”
Speaker:I
Speaker:told
Speaker:her.
“But
you
Speaker:look
Speaker:so
Speaker:hot
Speaker:when
Speaker:you
Speaker:wear
Speaker:it,” Chaula pointed out.
“Yeah, yeah. Let me get you
set
Speaker:up.”
Speaker:I
Speaker:wrapped
Speaker:chains
Speaker:around
Speaker:the
Speaker:bedposts,
Speaker:raising
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:arms
Speaker:and
Speaker:wrapping
Speaker:the
Speaker:heavy
Speaker:leather
Speaker:cuffs
Speaker:around
Speaker:her
Speaker:wrists. They were sized
Speaker:for
Speaker:me,
Speaker:so
Speaker:they
Speaker:made
Speaker:a
Speaker:snug
Speaker:fit
Speaker:on
Speaker:her
Speaker:muscular
Speaker:arms,
Speaker:but
Speaker:at
Speaker:least
Speaker:there
Speaker:would
Speaker:be
Speaker:no
Speaker:chance
Speaker:of her
Speaker:slipping
Speaker:loose.
“Hey
now,
Speaker:you
Speaker:don’t
Speaker:have
Speaker:to
Speaker:be doin’
Speaker:this,
Speaker:sugar,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:insisted,
Speaker:giving
Speaker:a
Speaker:frustrated
Speaker:tug
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:cuffs. “I
Speaker:promised
Speaker:I’d
Speaker:vacate
Speaker:the
Speaker:premises
Speaker:once
Speaker:I
Speaker:got
Speaker:what
Speaker:I
Speaker:wanted!”
“Nothing
personal, but I’ve met too many ghosts with an
Speaker:agenda,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:told
Speaker:her. I unbuckled Chaula’s belt and tugged her cargo
Speaker:shorts down,
Speaker:giving
Speaker:her
Speaker:another
Speaker:look
Speaker:when
Speaker:I
Speaker:saw
Speaker:her
Speaker:panties
Speaker:were
Speaker:missing.
“What?
I
Speaker:figured
Speaker:we
Speaker:might
Speaker:have
Speaker:time
Speaker:for
Speaker:a
Speaker:quick
Speaker:one
Speaker:once
Speaker:I
Speaker:finished
Speaker:taking
Speaker:my
Speaker:photos,”
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:said,
Speaker:grinning
Speaker:up
Speaker:at
Speaker:me.
“Looks
like
Speaker:you’re
Speaker:getting
Speaker:your
Speaker:wish,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:noted,
Speaker:moving
Speaker:down
Speaker:to
Speaker:secure her
Speaker:ankles.
Speaker:When
Speaker:I
Speaker:was
Speaker:done
Speaker:my
Speaker:muscular
Speaker:tigress
Speaker:girlfriend
Speaker:was
Speaker:bound
Speaker:spreadeagle
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:bed,
Speaker:which
Speaker:creaked
Speaker:and
Speaker:moaned
Speaker:as
Speaker:she
Speaker:pulled at
Speaker:her
Speaker:restraints,
Speaker:making
Speaker:sure
Speaker:they
Speaker:would
Speaker:hold. “Okay,
Speaker:Mirabelle,
Speaker:you
Speaker:can
Speaker:take
Speaker:over
Speaker:for
Speaker:now,”
Speaker:I said.
Chaula
blinked again, her eyes
Speaker:turning
Speaker:blue as
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:looked at me,
Speaker:er,
Speaker:winsomely I guess was
Speaker:the
Speaker:word.
Speaker:Maybe
Speaker:it
Speaker:would
Speaker:have
Speaker:worked
Speaker:better
Speaker:on
Speaker:a vixen’s
Speaker:face.
Speaker:On
Speaker:a three-hundred-pound tigress it just looked ridiculous. “Come
Speaker:here,
Speaker:little chee,” she purred. “Mirabelle’s got some candy for you.”
I smiled at her, tugging Chaula’s t-shirt
and bra up, exposing her
Speaker:breasts. I ran my paws down her bare sides,
Speaker:making
Speaker:the
Speaker:ghostly
Speaker:fox
Speaker:purr
Speaker:with
Speaker:delight
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:leaned
Speaker:over
Speaker:and
Speaker:kissed
Speaker:her
Speaker:breasts. “Oh,
Speaker:sugar,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:breathed. “Where
Speaker:have
Speaker:you
Speaker:been
Speaker:all mah
Speaker:afterlife?”
“Busy
learning how
Speaker:to
Speaker:do
Speaker:this,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:told
Speaker:her,
Speaker:laying
Speaker:kisses
Speaker:down
Speaker:to
Speaker:her belly
Speaker:button as my paws
Speaker:grasped
Speaker:and
Speaker:groped
Speaker:her
Speaker:breasts.
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:made
Speaker:more
Speaker:pleased
Speaker:noises,
Speaker:pulling and
Speaker:straining
Speaker:against
Speaker:her
Speaker:cuffs as
Speaker:her
Speaker:body
Speaker:shifted
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:bed
Speaker:in
Speaker:response.
“Oh,
let
Speaker:me
Speaker:up
Speaker:so
Speaker:I
Speaker:can
Speaker:touch
Speaker:you
Speaker:back,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:moaned.
“Tempting,”
I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:catching
Speaker:her
Speaker:nipples
Speaker:between
Speaker:my
Speaker:fingerpads
Speaker:and
Speaker:rolling
Speaker:them
Speaker:back
Speaker:and
Speaker:forth,
Speaker:which
Speaker:made
Speaker:her
Speaker:let
Speaker:out
Speaker:a
Speaker:delighted
Speaker:squeal. “But
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:doesn’t
Speaker:let
Speaker:me
Speaker:play
Speaker:with her
Speaker:like
Speaker:this
Speaker:very
Speaker:often.
Speaker:I
Speaker:kinda
Speaker:like
Speaker:being
Speaker:on
Speaker:top
Speaker:for
Speaker:once.”
“I’ve
nevah
Speaker:been
Speaker:on
Speaker:top,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:said. “Everybody
Speaker:wanted
Speaker:the
Speaker:easy
Speaker:girl,
Speaker:nobody
Speaker:evah
Speaker:gave
Speaker:me
Speaker:what
Speaker:I
Speaker:wanted.”
Speaker:She
Speaker:pulled at
Speaker:her
Speaker:cuffs
Speaker:again,
Speaker:making
Speaker:the
Speaker:bed
Speaker:creak
Speaker:dangerously. “I
Speaker:finally
Speaker:think
Speaker:I’m gonna get what I’m due, and I end up spending the next hundred and more years stuck floating
Speaker:in
Speaker:a
Speaker:dusty,
Speaker:dark
Speaker:staircase
Speaker:for mah troubles!”
“Let me help you make
up for lost time then,” I told her. My paws slid down her side to grab
Speaker:her
Speaker:ass,
Speaker:my
Speaker:fingers
Speaker:digging
Speaker:into
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:muscular
Speaker:cheeks
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:took
Speaker:a
Speaker:long
Speaker:lick
Speaker:up
Speaker:and
Speaker:down her
Speaker:pussy
Speaker:lips.
“Fu-fuuuuuck…”
Mirabelle
Speaker:gasped,
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:wiggled
Speaker:my
Speaker:tongue
Speaker:just
Speaker:a
Speaker:finger
Speaker:width
Speaker:inside her. “Y’all
Speaker:are
Speaker:teasing
Speaker:me
Speaker:something
Speaker:terrible.”
“That’s
me,
Speaker:the
Speaker:terrible
Speaker:chee,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:sing-songed.
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:giggled,
Speaker:an odd
Speaker:sound
Speaker:coming
Speaker:from
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:deep
Speaker:chest.
“I…
always
Speaker:felt…
Speaker:so
Speaker:small…,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:panted,
Speaker:as I
Speaker:kissed
Speaker:her
Speaker:fur
Speaker:covered
Speaker:pussy,
Speaker:slipping
Speaker:my
Speaker:tongue
Speaker:deeper
Speaker:inside
Speaker:to
Speaker:taste her. “Ohhhh,
Speaker:this
Speaker:body
Speaker:though.
Speaker:I could
Speaker:do
Speaker:things
Speaker:with
Speaker:this
Speaker:body.”
Speaker:She
Speaker:strained
Speaker:against
Speaker:the
Speaker:cuffs once
Speaker:again,
Speaker:and
Speaker:the
Speaker:fifty-year-old
Speaker:bed
Speaker:made
Speaker:more
Speaker:dangerous
Speaker:creaking
Speaker:noises. “Let
Speaker:me
Speaker:up,
Speaker:boy.
Speaker:Let
Speaker:me
Speaker:loose so
Speaker:I
Speaker:can
Speaker:show
Speaker:you
Speaker:what
Speaker:I
Speaker:can
Speaker:do!”
“No,
no,
Speaker:no,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said,
Speaker:lifting
Speaker:my
Speaker:face
Speaker:up
Speaker:briefly. “You
Speaker:made
Speaker:a
Speaker:promise!”
“I
know,
Speaker:but
Speaker:I’ve
Speaker:always
Speaker:been
Speaker:a
Speaker:bad
Speaker:girl.
Speaker:Ask
Speaker:anyone!”
Speaker:she
Speaker:said.
Speaker:I
Speaker:moved
Speaker:to
Speaker:distract
Speaker:her,
Speaker:sliding up Chaula’s body to rub
Speaker:my
Speaker:sheath
Speaker:against
Speaker:her
Speaker:pussy,
Speaker:while
Speaker:I
Speaker:caught
Speaker:one
Speaker:of
Speaker:her
Speaker:nipples
Speaker:between
Speaker:my fangs
Speaker:and
Speaker:gave it a
Speaker:tug.
Speaker:She let out a
Speaker:deep
Speaker:throated,
Speaker:very
Speaker:tigerish
Speaker:growl. “Let
Speaker:me
Speaker:up,
Speaker:let
Speaker:me
Speaker:loose,”
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:demanded
Speaker:again.
I
buried
Speaker:my
Speaker:face
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:fur
Speaker:where
Speaker:her
Speaker:neck
Speaker:met
Speaker:her
Speaker:shoulder,
Speaker:nuzzling
Speaker:and
Speaker:nibbling
Speaker:as
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:continued
Speaker:to
Speaker:struggle,
Speaker:feeling
Speaker:my
Speaker:cock
Speaker:rise out of its
Speaker:sheath
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:rubbed
Speaker:it
Speaker:up
Speaker:and
Speaker:down
Speaker:her
Speaker:pussy.
Speaker:After
Speaker:a
Speaker:moment
Speaker:I
Speaker:glanced
Speaker:up,
Speaker:alarmed
Speaker:to
Speaker:see
Speaker:the
Speaker:awful
Speaker:orange
Speaker:velour
Speaker:headboard
Speaker:bending
Speaker:as
Speaker:Mirabelle used Chaula’s
Speaker:strength
Speaker:to
Speaker:fight
Speaker:her
Speaker:bonds. “I
Speaker:think
Speaker:it’s
Speaker:time
Speaker:to
Speaker:finish
Speaker:you
Speaker:off,
Speaker:Mirabelle,”
Speaker:I warned her.
“Don’t….
talk
Speaker:to
Speaker:me…
Speaker:about
Speaker:time…,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:panted,
Speaker:Chaula’s
Speaker:heavy
Speaker:breasts
Speaker:heaving
Speaker:up and
Speaker:down as
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:continued
Speaker:to
Speaker:struggle.
Speaker:I
Speaker:pushed
Speaker:myself
Speaker:up
Speaker:and
Speaker:slid
Speaker:inside
Speaker:her
Speaker:pussy,
Speaker:riding
Speaker:in unison with her bucking body. “I want
Speaker:more
Speaker:time,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:growled.
Speaker:Underneath us
Speaker:some
Speaker:part
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:bed
Speaker:started
Speaker:cracking,
Speaker:the
Speaker:sound
Speaker:of
Speaker:snapping
Speaker:wood
Speaker:filling
Speaker:the
Speaker:dark
Speaker:room.
“I’m
sorry
Speaker:you
Speaker:had
Speaker:to
Speaker:wait
Speaker:so
Speaker:long,
Speaker:Mirabelle,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:told
Speaker:her,
Speaker:grasping
Speaker:her
Speaker:breasts
Speaker:as I
Speaker:kissed her
Speaker:cleavage.
“Oh,
you
Speaker:don’t
Speaker:understand!”
Speaker:she
Speaker:wailed. “Oh!
Speaker:I
Speaker:don’t
Speaker:wanna go! Ohh! OHHHHH I wish I was in the land of cotton. Old time ways are not forgotten….!”
Speaker:she sang,
Speaker:as
Speaker:her
Speaker:pussy
Speaker:clamped
Speaker:around
Speaker:my
Speaker:shaft
Speaker:and
Speaker:we
Speaker:began to
Speaker:cum together. The bed screeched
Speaker:in
Speaker:protest as
Speaker:Mirabelle
Speaker:arched
Speaker:her
Speaker:back,
Speaker:and
Speaker:then
Speaker:she
Speaker:fell
Speaker:back
Speaker:against
Speaker:the
Speaker:mattress,
Speaker:panting
Speaker:hotly.
“Mirabelle?” I
asked,
Speaker:rising
Speaker:up
Speaker:to
Speaker:look
Speaker:into
Speaker:her
Speaker:eyes. “You
Speaker:still
Speaker:there?”
She
blinked
Speaker:several
Speaker:times,
Speaker:and
Speaker:then
Speaker:Chaula
Speaker:stared
Speaker:back
Speaker:at
Speaker:me,
Speaker:eyes
Speaker:her
Speaker:normal
Speaker:warm,
Speaker:deep
Speaker:brown. “She’s
Speaker:gone,
Speaker:Petey,”
Speaker:she
Speaker:breathed.
“You’re
sure?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:asked.
“Sure,”
she
Speaker:confirmed. “I’m
Speaker:all
Speaker:alone
Speaker:in
Speaker:here
Speaker:now.”
Speaker:Then
Speaker:she
Speaker:grinned. “Well,
Speaker:aside
Speaker:from
Speaker:your
Speaker:cock.”
“Oh,
thank
Speaker:God,”
Speaker:I
Speaker:said,
