Tonight’s story is “Binding Spirits” by NightEyes DaySpring, who is a known troublemaker who is rumored to have a penchant for coffee and an interest in dead, ancient civilizations. Information about him and his writing can be found at nighteyes-dayspring.com.

“Boss

Speaker:

says

Speaker:

we’re

Speaker:

closing

Speaker:

at 9

Speaker:

tonight,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

Janet,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

hung

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store’s

Speaker:

phone.
Sammy

Speaker:

looked

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

from the

Speaker:

magazine

Speaker:

he’d

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

thumbing

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

glanced

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

clock

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wall. It read only 5:17. “9? Did we stop being a 24-hour store?”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

asked

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

coworker.
The

Speaker:

rabbit

Speaker:

waved a

Speaker:

paw

Speaker:

around,

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

white

Speaker:

fur

Speaker:

almost

Speaker:

flashing

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

neon

Speaker:

lighting

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

how pristine

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

was. “No.

Speaker:

It’s

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

tonight.

Speaker:

Tina

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

she wanted us to

Speaker:

lock up

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

the night.”
The

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

grumped. “I

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

scheduled

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

midnight.”
“She

Speaker:

says

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

paid

Speaker:

for the time. Trick or treat I guess?”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

rabbit,

Speaker:

fidgeting

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

witch

Speaker:

hat. “Maybe

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

wants

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

fun

Speaker:

in.”
“Ha,

Speaker:

doubt

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

She’s

Speaker:

probably

Speaker:

worried

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

types

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

customers

Speaker:

that will

Speaker:

come

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

tonight.

Speaker:

It’s

Speaker:

Halloween,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

who

Speaker:

knows

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

type

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

costumes

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

tonight.

Speaker:

Probably

Speaker:

quite

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

sexy

Speaker:

nurses,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

boys

Speaker:

heading

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

parties

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

leather.”
The

Speaker:

rabbit

Speaker:

leaned

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

gave

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

serious

Speaker:

look. “When

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

people

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

skimpy

Speaker:

clothing

Speaker:

looking

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

freaky

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

night,

Speaker:

Sammy?

Speaker:

We’re

Speaker:

an

Speaker:

adult

Speaker:

toy

Speaker:

store,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

horny

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

lonely

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

toys

Speaker:

here.

Speaker:

This

Speaker:

isn’t

Speaker:

new.”
He

Speaker:

chuckled. “I

Speaker:

know,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

it’s

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

witching

Speaker:

hour.

Speaker:

Some

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

these are

Speaker:

great

Speaker:

toys.”
She

Speaker:

rolled

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

eyes. “And

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

dildos

Speaker:

we’ve

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

I’ve

Speaker:

seen

Speaker:

people

Speaker:

walk

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

here

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

not fit

Speaker:

inside

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

me.”
“That’s

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

practice,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

replied

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

timid

Speaker:

ocelot

Speaker:

walked

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter.

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

rang

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

out,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fellow

Speaker:

feline

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

door

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

flash

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

two

Speaker:

DVDs.
“I

Speaker:

forget

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

own

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

our

Speaker:

XL

Speaker:

toys,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

Janet

Speaker:

after

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ocelot

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

gone.
The

Speaker:

panther smirked. “I

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

greatly

Speaker:

enjoyed

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

employee

Speaker:

discount.”
She leaned

Speaker:

forward. “You

Speaker:

think

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

haven’t?

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

toys

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

big.”
“Your

Speaker:

loss.”
“Size

Speaker:

queen,”

Speaker:

snapped

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

rabbit

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

flick

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

ear.
“Hey,

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

like.”
She

Speaker:

punched

Speaker:

him. “You’re

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

hole.”
“Whatever,

Speaker:

cotton tail.”
Some

Speaker:

new

Speaker:

customers

Speaker:

came

Speaker:

in,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

Janet

Speaker:

stepped

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

side to

Speaker:

check

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

IDs

Speaker:

before

Speaker:

letting

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

proceed

Speaker:

toward

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

DVD

Speaker:

racks.

Speaker:

When

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

returned

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

center

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter,

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

gave

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

head

Speaker:

shake. “You

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

you is

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

I’ve

Speaker:

got.”
“I

Speaker:

mean,

Speaker:

that is

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

masturbation

Speaker:

is,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I get

Speaker:

it.”

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

bell

Speaker:

rang,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

first

Speaker:

customers

Speaker:

they’d

Speaker:

seen

Speaker:

come

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

costume

Speaker:

today

Speaker:

entered,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

dressed

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

witch

Speaker:

outfit. “Looks

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

it’s

Speaker:

picking

Speaker:

up.”
“Yup,

Speaker:

yup.

Speaker:

Tell you

Speaker:

what,

Speaker:

I’ll

Speaker:

count

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

nurse

Speaker:

costumers,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

count

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

guys

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

collars.”
“Deal.”
#
Halloween

Speaker:

did

Speaker:

indeed

Speaker:

prove

Speaker:

busy.

Speaker:

Cuffs

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

collars

Speaker:

went

Speaker:

quick,

Speaker:

plus

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

last-minute

Speaker:

props

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

parties.

Speaker:

They

Speaker:

counted

Speaker:

seven

Speaker:

nurses

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

four

Speaker:

collared

Speaker:

guys.

Speaker:

However,

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

did

Speaker:

sell

Speaker:

collars

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

five

Speaker:

different

Speaker:

guys.
“I

Speaker:

think

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

count,”

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

whispered as

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

ringing

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

customer.
“Only

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

put

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

collar

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

before

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

leave.”
At

Speaker:

eight

Speaker:

o’clock,

Speaker:

Janet’s

Speaker:

shift

Speaker:

ended.

Speaker:

Thomas

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

supposed

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

come in to run the 8-4 AM shift, but

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

didn’t

Speaker:

show.

Speaker:

By

Speaker:

then,

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

winding

Speaker:

down,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

while

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

usually

Speaker:

picked

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

after 11,

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

going

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

open

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

another

Speaker:

hour.
“You

Speaker:

want

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

call

Speaker:

Tina

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

stay?”

Speaker:

asked

Speaker:

Janet.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

lingering

Speaker:

after

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

shift

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

done.
“Nah.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

solo

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

another

Speaker:

fifty-five

Speaker:

minutes.

Speaker:

Just

Speaker:

put

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

sign

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

door

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

closing

Speaker:

early

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

enjoy

Speaker:

your

Speaker:

Halloween

Speaker:

party.”
“Sure

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

want

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

come?

Speaker:

Maybe

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

might

Speaker:

meet

Speaker:

Mr.

Speaker:

Right

Speaker:

there.”
“Knowing

Speaker:

your

Speaker:

friends, it’s

Speaker:

going

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

Mr.

Speaker:

Right

Speaker:

Now.

Speaker:

Nah,

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

good.

Speaker:

Plus,

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

costume.”
“Oh,

Speaker:

come

Speaker:

on,

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

have to have

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

slap

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

into.”
He

Speaker:

glanced

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

toward

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

picked

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

costume

Speaker:

rack,

Speaker:

where

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

weeks

Speaker:

ago a

Speaker:

selection

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

mature

Speaker:

adult

Speaker:

costumes

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

been.

Speaker:

Now

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

odd

Speaker:

sizes

Speaker:

left. “There’s

Speaker:

nothing

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

fits

Speaker:

me,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

buying

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

thong

Speaker:

to do

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

male

Speaker:

stripper

Speaker:

isn’t

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

thing.”
“I

Speaker:

saw

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

see-through

Speaker:

jeans

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

putting

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

stock

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

afternoon in

Speaker:

clothing.

Speaker:

We’ve

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

men’s

Speaker:

sizes.”
“Absolutely

Speaker:

not.

Speaker:

Give

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

tripp

Speaker:

pants

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

boombox,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I’ll

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

it.”
“Going

Speaker:

late 1990s

Speaker:

vintage.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

approve,

Speaker:

but I’m

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

gear

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

look.”
He

Speaker:

shrugged. “Anyway,

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

fun,

Speaker:

I’ll

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

fine.”
“All right,

Speaker:

all right.

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

then.

Speaker:

Text

Speaker:

Tina if

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

happens,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

call

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

really,

Speaker:

really

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

help.

Speaker:

Since

Speaker:

you’re

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

coming

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

party,

Speaker:

enjoy

Speaker:

whatever

Speaker:

video

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

pick

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

yourself

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

watch

Speaker:

tonight.”
The

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

chuckled

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

rolled

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

eyes. “I’ve

Speaker:

already

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

enough

Speaker:

adult

Speaker:

videos

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

house.

Speaker:

Anyway,

Speaker:

I’ve

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

this,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said,

Speaker:

making

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

shooing

Speaker:

motion

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

her. “There’s

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

people

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

here

Speaker:

anyway.”
Janet

Speaker:

smiled. “Okay

Speaker:

okay,” and

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

headed

Speaker:

out. “Try

Speaker:

not to get

Speaker:

spooked

Speaker:

before you close!”

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

called

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

out.
#
The

Speaker:

store

Speaker:

emptied

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

thought

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

closing

Speaker:

early,

Speaker:

but a

Speaker:

young

Speaker:

couple

Speaker:

came

Speaker:

in ten

Speaker:

minutes

Speaker:

before close,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

questions

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

cock

Speaker:

rings.
“My

Speaker:

husband is a

Speaker:

big

Speaker:

guy,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wife,

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

wink

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

ram

Speaker:

partner.
“Err,

Speaker:

well

Speaker:

I don’t

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

it’s

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

big

Speaker:

compared

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

others,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

stammered.
“How

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

set

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

three

Speaker:

different

Speaker:

sizes?

Speaker:

You

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

try

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

each

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

fits

Speaker:

you,”

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

said,

Speaker:

reaching

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

set

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wall.

Speaker:

Out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

corner

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

eye,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

saw a

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

enter

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store.

Speaker:

They

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

dressed

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

simple

Speaker:

togas

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

blue

Speaker:

trimmed

Speaker:

with a

Speaker:

red

Speaker:

stripe.

Speaker:

They

Speaker:

passed

Speaker:

through

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

entrance

Speaker:

way,

Speaker:

past

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

please

Speaker:

stop

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

ID

Speaker:

check

Speaker:

sign

Speaker:

without

Speaker:

stopping

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

waiting

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

Sammy.
“Well,

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

does

Speaker:

sound

Speaker:

good,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

man.
“Oh,

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

experiment,

Speaker:

honey!”
“Excellent.

Speaker:

One

Speaker:

moment,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

turned

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

go

Speaker:

meet the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

they had

Speaker:

disappeared

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

DVD

Speaker:

racks.
“So

Speaker:

that’s

Speaker:

settled,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

want

Speaker:

to…”

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

paused, “Peg him.”
The

Speaker:

husband

Speaker:

turned

Speaker:

away. “It’s

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

occasionally.”
Sammy

Speaker:

glanced

Speaker:

toward

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

DVD

Speaker:

racks,

Speaker:

but the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

couple

Speaker:

who had

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

entered

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

still

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

sight. “Over

Speaker:

here,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said,

Speaker:

leading

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wall.
It

Speaker:

took

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

few

Speaker:

minutes

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

goods,

Speaker:

and he

Speaker:

walked

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

front.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

caught

Speaker:

sight

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

looking

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

DVDs,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

seemed

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

float

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

corner

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

vision

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

tried

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

better

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

him to

Speaker:

make

Speaker:

sure

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

an

Speaker:

adult.
He

Speaker:

tried

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

tail

Speaker:

lash at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

annoyance of

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

being

Speaker:

back to

Speaker:

check

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

ID,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

couple

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

still

Speaker:

trying

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

talk

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

lube

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

pick

Speaker:

up.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

rung up

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

led

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

door.

Speaker:

After

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

out,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

locked

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

door,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

turned

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

switch

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

open

Speaker:

sign,

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

he’d

Speaker:

almost

Speaker:

never

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

with this

Speaker:

job.
“Hey,

Speaker:

we’re

Speaker:

closing

Speaker:

early

Speaker:

tonight,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

didn’t

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

chance

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

check

Speaker:

your

Speaker:

ID,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said,

Speaker:

walking

Speaker:

toward

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

DVD

Speaker:

racks.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

rounded

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

corner,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

him.

Speaker:

Instead,

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

DVDs,

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

bound

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cover,

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

lying

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ground.
“Weird,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

muttered

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

himself,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

picked

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

DVD

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

returned it

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

shelf.

Speaker:

Where

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

those

Speaker:

two

Speaker:

gone?

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

spotted

Speaker:

another

Speaker:

DVD

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ground,

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

featuring

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

gagged

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cover,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

couple

Speaker:

wasn’t

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

seen.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

hadn’t

Speaker:

heard

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

bell

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

door

Speaker:

go

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

to hear

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

leave,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

maybe

Speaker:

they’d

Speaker:

walked

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

he’d

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

cashing

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ram

Speaker:

couple.
He

Speaker:

glanced

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

shop,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

seemed

Speaker:

deserted.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

shrugged,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

started

Speaker:

walking

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

heard

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

noise

Speaker:

across

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

hurried

Speaker:

over there

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

found

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

pair

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

high

Speaker:

quality

Speaker:

leather

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ground,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

packaging or

Speaker:

price

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

them.
He

Speaker:

knelt

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

pick

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

on,

Speaker:

when

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

presence

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

him.
“You

Speaker:

cannot

Speaker:

open

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

merchandise

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

this,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

turning

Speaker:

around,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

there.
Sammy

Speaker:

stood

Speaker:

alone

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store.
“The

Speaker:

fuck…”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said,

Speaker:

shaking

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

head,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

moving

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

front

Speaker:

to check to

Speaker:

make

Speaker:

sure

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter,

Speaker:

trying

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

mess

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

register.
Everything

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

should

Speaker:

be and

Speaker:

tapping

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

touchpad

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

register

Speaker:

showed

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

one had messed with it. He opened the drawer, and

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

money

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

there.
He

Speaker:

closed

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cash

Speaker:

drawer

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

glanced

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

CCTV

Speaker:

screen,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cameras

Speaker:

weren’t

Speaker:

picking

Speaker:

anyone

Speaker:

up. “I’m

Speaker:

going

Speaker:

crazy,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

muttered

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

himself,

Speaker:

round

Speaker:

ears

Speaker:

going

Speaker:

back.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

put

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

paws

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

dropped

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs.

Speaker:

Something

Speaker:

bumped

Speaker:

against

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

other

Speaker:

paw,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

frowned.

Speaker:

A

Speaker:

scrap

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

torn

Speaker:

paper

Speaker:

sat

Speaker:

there,

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

written

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

in a

Speaker:

jagged

Speaker:

handwriting.
He

Speaker:

picked

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

note

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

read.

Speaker:

For a

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

time,

Speaker:

put

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

on.
He

Speaker:

looked

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

paw,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

scrap

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

paper

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

other.

Speaker:

He glanced

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

there.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

CCTV

Speaker:

screen

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

still

Speaker:

showing

Speaker:

nothing.
“Okay,

Speaker:

who

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

hell

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

fucking

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

me?”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

called

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

emptiness,

Speaker:

walking

Speaker:

to the

Speaker:

area

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

front

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter.
There

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

response,

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

air

Speaker:

conditioning

Speaker:

system

Speaker:

running, keeping the

Speaker:

air

Speaker:

inside

Speaker:

fresh.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

glanced

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

various

Speaker:

aisles,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

there.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

DVDs

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

racks,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

lube was

Speaker:

stacked

Speaker:

neatly

Speaker:

on its

Speaker:

display

Speaker:

rack,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

various

Speaker:

pieces

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

gear

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wall

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

waiting

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

willing

Speaker:

participants.
He

Speaker:

returned

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

front

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

shook

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

head,

Speaker:

tail

Speaker:

lashing.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

looked

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

holding.
These

Speaker:

weren’t

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

style

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

sold.

Speaker:

These were

Speaker:

leather,

Speaker:

similar

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

sets

Speaker:

they sold

Speaker:

here.

Speaker:

These

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

thick

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

padded, and

Speaker:

they were lined in the inside

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

soft

Speaker:

velvety

Speaker:

fabric. They

Speaker:

used

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

strap

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

releases

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

each

Speaker:

side,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

distinctly

Speaker:

hand-made

Speaker:

feel

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

them.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

leather

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

high

Speaker:

quality

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

riveted

Speaker:

together.

Speaker:

The store

Speaker:

carried

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

high-end

Speaker:

gear,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

particularly

Speaker:

luxurious.

Speaker:

This

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

order,

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

got

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

place

Speaker:

that sold DVDs, dildos, and

Speaker:

BDSM gear

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

horny

Speaker:

couples.
Sammy

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

shiver

Speaker:

run

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

spine.

Speaker:

If

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

hadn’t

Speaker:

come

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

here,

Speaker:

where

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

hell

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

come

Speaker:

from?

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

who

Speaker:

wanted

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

put

Speaker:

them

Speaker:

on?
He

Speaker:

considered

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

moment,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

someone

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

waiting

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

him.

Speaker:

He could

Speaker:

almost

Speaker:

feel

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

reassuring

Speaker:

paw

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

shoulders.

Speaker:

In

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

head,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

thought

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

hear

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

voice

Speaker:

offering

Speaker:

encouragement.

Speaker:

Taking

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

deep

Speaker:

breath,

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

disconnected

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

undid

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

strap.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

slipped

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

thick

Speaker:

leather

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

wrist

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

tightened

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

Nothing

Speaker:

happened.
“Happy?”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

called

Speaker:

out,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

there was

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

response.
He

Speaker:

shook

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

head,

Speaker:

yet

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

something

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuff.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

reassuring

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

himself.

Speaker:

Almost

Speaker:

pleasurable.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

wasn’t

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

hadn’t

Speaker:

worn

Speaker:

cuffs before

Speaker:

either.

Speaker:

Something

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

set

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

different,

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

undid

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

other

Speaker:

strap

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

slipped

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

other

Speaker:

wrist.
He

Speaker:

tightened

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

leather,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

power

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store

Speaker:

failed

Speaker:

suddenly. It

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

then that

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

realized

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

wasn’t

Speaker:

alone.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

smell

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

paws

Speaker:

settled

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

shoulders

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

behind,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

tensed.
“Shh,

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

relax.

Speaker:

Let

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

take

Speaker:

care

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

you,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

who

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

him.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

started

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

slide

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

paws

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther’s

Speaker:

tawny

Speaker:

arms,

Speaker:

pulling

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

arms

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

front

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

him. “You

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

tense.”
“Who

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

you?”

Speaker:

yelped

Speaker:

Sammy,

Speaker:

as the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

gently

Speaker:

guided his

Speaker:

arms

Speaker:

down.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

turned

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

and he

Speaker:

seemed

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

almost

Speaker:

glow

Speaker:

with a

Speaker:

soft

Speaker:

radiance

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

gray

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

tan

Speaker:

fur.

Speaker:

At

Speaker:

any

Speaker:

moment

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

jerked

Speaker:

away

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

but his fur stood

Speaker:

on end in a

Speaker:

strange

Speaker:

electric

Speaker:

anticipation.
“Guardians

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

pleasure,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

whispering

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther’s

Speaker:

ear,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

heard

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

shifting

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

fabric. “I’m

Speaker:

Vel, and

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

partner

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

Rasce.”
“Indeed,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

another

Speaker:

presence,

Speaker:

stepping

Speaker:

forward

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

tickle at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

underside

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

bound

Speaker:

panther’s

Speaker:

throat. “We

Speaker:

watch

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

those

Speaker:

who

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

watching

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

for,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said.

Speaker:

This

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

fox,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

too

Speaker:

glowed

Speaker:

with a

Speaker:

soft

Speaker:

radiance

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

red

Speaker:

fur

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

silver

Speaker:

guard

Speaker:

hairs.

Speaker:

Both

Speaker:

wore

Speaker:

togas

Speaker:

and wore

Speaker:

simple

Speaker:

sandals

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

footpaws.
“Indeed,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

tonight,

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

very

Speaker:

special

Speaker:

one.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

must

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

you,

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

she’s

Speaker:

willing

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

share.”
“Who

Speaker:

likes

Speaker:

me?”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

Sammy,

Speaker:

confused.

Speaker:

His

Speaker:

ears

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

back.
Rasce

Speaker:

glanced at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

shrugged. “Perhaps

Speaker:

you are

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

lucky

Speaker:

then,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

curl

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

muzzle. “We

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

wait

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

year

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

night,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

it’s

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

share

Speaker:

this night

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

someone.”
“Halloween?”
“Yes.

Speaker:

Tonight

Speaker:

has

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

other

Speaker:

names,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

let’s

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

dwell

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

mechanics,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

Vel,

Speaker:

whisper

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

ear. “We

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

you’re

Speaker:

willing.”
Sammy

Speaker:

would

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

asked

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

wanted,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

smell

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

them.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

pressed

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

close

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

him,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

knew.

Speaker:

There

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

stiffness

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

teased at

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

butt,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

gently

Speaker:

nuzzled

Speaker:

him.
“You

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

want

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

time,

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

you?”

Speaker:

asked

Speaker:

Vel.
“Yes…”
“Good,

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

we,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf, “but

Speaker:

first

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

need to

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

you naked.”
“Oh

Speaker:

yes,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox,

Speaker:

slipping

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

toga. “I

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

clothes

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

way,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

added,

Speaker:

reaching

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

undo

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

belt

Speaker:

buckle.
“That’s

Speaker:

kind

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

hard

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

my

Speaker:

hands

Speaker:

bound

Speaker:

together,”

Speaker:

responded

Speaker:

Sammy.
The

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

chuckled

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

licked

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

side

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

muzzle. “Let

Speaker:

us

Speaker:

handle

Speaker:

that,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said,

Speaker:

before

Speaker:

straightening

Speaker:

up.
First,

Speaker:

Vel

Speaker:

slipped

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

toga,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

feel

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fabric

Speaker:

fall

Speaker:

behind.

Speaker:

Then,

Speaker:

Vel undid

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

connectors for

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cuffs,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

hands

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

guided

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf.

Speaker:

His

Speaker:

shirt

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

lifted

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

head,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

wasn’t

Speaker:

lifted

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

either

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf.

Speaker:

Instead,

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

lifted

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

discarded

Speaker:

somewhere

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

taken

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

invisible

Speaker:

paws.

Speaker:

Then

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

hands were

Speaker:

guided

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

connector

Speaker:

reconnected.

Speaker:

In

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

meantime,

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

pants

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

underwear

Speaker:

were tugged

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

Vel,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

made

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

lift

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

footpaws

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

tapping on them. The fox then tossed the clothing aside.
“Now,” said the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

pressing

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

back,

Speaker:

grinding

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

sheath

Speaker:

against

Speaker:

him. “It

Speaker:

has

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

while,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

needs.”
“Needs?”

Speaker:

asked

Speaker:

Sammy.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

hadn’t

Speaker:

noticed it

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

first,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

musk

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

certainly

Speaker:

sharp

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

aroused.

Speaker:

It had

Speaker:

notes

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

honey

Speaker:

with an

Speaker:

earthy

Speaker:

smell

Speaker:

underneath

Speaker:

speaking

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

fresh

Speaker:

herbs,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

they had

Speaker:

come

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

rich,

Speaker:

sundrenched

Speaker:

land.
Rasce

Speaker:

chuckled

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

leaned

Speaker:

forward

Speaker:

toward

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

underside

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther’s

Speaker:

neck. “Spirits

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

needs.”

Speaker:

Small

Speaker:

fangs nipped at him. “Mmm… yes.”
The

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

tilted

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

head

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

little

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

expose

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

neck

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox. “Be

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

kitty.”
The

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

grumbled

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

pulled

Speaker:

at the

Speaker:

cuffs.
“Ah,

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

into that pet

Speaker:

name?”

Speaker:

asked the wolf as the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

trailed himself down

Speaker:

towards

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

chest.
“It makes me

Speaker:

sound

Speaker:

like a

Speaker:

kitten.”
“And

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

kitten?

Speaker:

Sometimes

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

go

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

trust

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

strong,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

nipped

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

nipples

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

spoke.
Sammy

Speaker:

struggled

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

grip

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf. “Hey,

Speaker:

watch

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fangs,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

told

Speaker:

Rasce.
The

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

laughed

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

traced

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

paw

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

crotch,

Speaker:

teasing

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

hardening shaft. “Oh, but

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

it.”
“Very

Speaker:

much

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

looks

Speaker:

like,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

leaning

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

breath

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

neck.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

whispered

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

ear. “It

Speaker:

has

Speaker:

been

Speaker:

millennia

Speaker:

since

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

walked

Speaker:

free

Speaker:

under

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

Tuscan

Speaker:

sun,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

does

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

mean

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

watched

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

learned.”
Sammy wanted

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

ask

Speaker:

questions

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

that,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

instead

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

gave

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

mewl

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

teased

Speaker:

gently

Speaker:

along

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

length

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

furred

Speaker:

digits.
The

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

chuckled,

Speaker:

amused. “Just

Speaker:

focus

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

moment,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

don’t

Speaker:

think

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

why.

Speaker:

You

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

relax.”
The

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

clicked

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

tongue. “He

Speaker:

doesn’t

Speaker:

even

Speaker:

need

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

that,

Speaker:

Vel”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

trailed

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

tongue

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

stomach,

Speaker:

teasing

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fur

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

paw. “He

Speaker:

just

Speaker:

needs

Speaker:

stamina.”
“See,” said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

waving

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

paw,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

bottle

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

lube

Speaker:

lifted

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

floated

Speaker:

toward

Speaker:

them. “You

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

kitty.”
Sammy

Speaker:

wanted

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

protest,

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

break

Speaker:

away

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

squirmed

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

finally

Speaker:

reached

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

crotch and

Speaker:

took

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

long

Speaker:

lick

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

shaft.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

touch

Speaker:

made

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

tail

Speaker:

fluff

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

shivered

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

grasp

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf.
“That’s

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

Let

Speaker:

Rasce

Speaker:

take

Speaker:

care

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

you,” said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

as the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

wagged

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

tail,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

took

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

muzzle.

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

squirmed

Speaker:

caught,

Speaker:

between them,

Speaker:

as the wolf licked at

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

neck, a

Speaker:

firm

Speaker:

stiffness

Speaker:

pressed

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

against

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

rear.

Speaker:

All

Speaker:

he could do is mewl needily.
The fox took him

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

muzzle

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

gently

Speaker:

teased

Speaker:

every

Speaker:

inch

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

shaft,

Speaker:

carefully

Speaker:

pulling

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

head

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

working

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

deeper

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

muzzle

Speaker:

while

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

nipped

Speaker:

gingerly

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

neck.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

sensation

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

intense,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

quickly

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

climaxed.
“Too

Speaker:

soon,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox,

Speaker:

pulling

Speaker:

off

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

licking

Speaker:

his muzzle.
“Sorry,”

Speaker:

mumbled

Speaker:

Sammy.
Vel

Speaker:

chuckled

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

pressed

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

against

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

rear. “Oh

Speaker:

no,

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

aren’t

Speaker:

done

Speaker:

yet.”

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

heard

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

top

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

lube

Speaker:

pop

Speaker:

open

Speaker:

as the wolf

Speaker:

pulled

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

thin

Speaker:

air

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

squirted

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

onto

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

paw. “We

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

wait

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

year

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

nothing,”

Speaker:

whispered

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

ears,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

two

Speaker:

digits

Speaker:

probed at his

Speaker:

entrance.
“Oh

Speaker:

fuck…”
The

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

laughed. “Oh

Speaker:

yes,’

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

pulling

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

paw

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

putting

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

in,

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

probing

Speaker:

Sammy with

Speaker:

three

Speaker:

digits. “Rasce

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

keep

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

hours.”
“And

Speaker:

keep

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

for

Speaker:

hours,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox,

Speaker:

leaning

Speaker:

forward

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

nuzzle

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther’s

Speaker:

spent

Speaker:

cock.
“Indeed,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

pulling

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

digits

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

Sammy,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

getting

Speaker:

close

Speaker:

again

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

back.

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

never

Speaker:

done

Speaker:

anal

Speaker:

standing

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

before,

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

Vel’s

Speaker:

guidance,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

soon

Speaker:

found

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

under

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

tail

Speaker:

and in. The wolf used his cuffed hands to

Speaker:

make

Speaker:

him lead

Speaker:

forward

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

arch

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

back.
The

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

meantime

Speaker:

continued to nose at

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

crotch,

Speaker:

breathing

Speaker:

warm

Speaker:

heat

Speaker:

across

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

shaft.

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

surprised

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

hard

Speaker:

again

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

soon,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

soon

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

muzzle

Speaker:

again and

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

again

Speaker:

sucking

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

him.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

worked

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

into the

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

started

Speaker:

trying

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

push

Speaker:

his knot

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

him.
Sammy

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

whimper

Speaker:

as the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

thrust

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

him.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

climax

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

second

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

into

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox’s

Speaker:

muzzle,

Speaker:

and yet

Speaker:

neither

Speaker:

stopped,

Speaker:

neither

Speaker:

halted.

Speaker:

Instead,

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

kept

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

their

Speaker:

attentions

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

he felt

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

body

Speaker:

pulse

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

string

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

each

Speaker:

part

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

consciousness

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

plucked

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

vibrated

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

ethereal

Speaker:

pleasure.
Finally,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

tie

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

him,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

thrusting

Speaker:

finally

Speaker:

ended.

Speaker:

His

Speaker:

mind

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

overwhelmed

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

static.
“Oh

Speaker:

no

Speaker:

kitty,

Speaker:

we

Speaker:

aren’t

Speaker:

done

Speaker:

yet,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

Vel,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cuffs

Speaker:

behind

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

undone,

Speaker:

and then he somehow

Speaker:

drifted

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

floor. “Rasce

Speaker:

also

Speaker:

has

Speaker:

needs.”
“Yes,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

cannot

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

Vel get

Speaker:

all the

Speaker:

best parts,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

cock

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

suddenly

Speaker:

waved

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

front

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

Sammy’s

Speaker:

face. “You won’t

Speaker:

leave

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

hanging now,

Speaker:

would

Speaker:

you?”
No,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

thought and

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

leaned

Speaker:

forward

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

nuzzle

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

cock.

Speaker:

His

Speaker:

mind

Speaker:

compelled

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

go

Speaker:

on,

Speaker:

even

Speaker:

if

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

wasn’t

Speaker:

sure

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

climax

Speaker:

again.
The

Speaker:

fox’s

Speaker:

shaft

Speaker:

seemed

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

made

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

musk

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

ambrosia,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

richest scent

Speaker:

he’d

Speaker:

ever

Speaker:

tasted with

Speaker:

another

Speaker:

male.

Speaker:

It

Speaker:

invigorated

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

way

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

didn’t

Speaker:

think

Speaker:

possible. The

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

panted

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

braced

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

against

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

floor,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

held

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox’s

Speaker:

shaft

Speaker:

steady

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

could

Speaker:

bob

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

Each

Speaker:

stroke

Speaker:

seemed

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

drive

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

on,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

soon he

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

a paw on

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

own

Speaker:

shaft

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf,

Speaker:

who

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

still

Speaker:

tied

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

him,

Speaker:

began

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

stroke

Speaker:

him.
“He’s

Speaker:

fading,

Speaker:

Rasce,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

Vel.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

meanings

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

words

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

lost

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

dulled

Speaker:

mind.
“Shh…

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

have just

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

little

Speaker:

more

Speaker:

fun,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

then

Speaker:

we’ll

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

go.

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

sure

Speaker:

she’ll

Speaker:

be

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

soon.”
“Indeed,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf, who

Speaker:

leaned

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

continued

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

stroke

Speaker:

at the

Speaker:

spent

Speaker:

panther.
Thrust

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

thrust,

Speaker:

lick

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

lick,

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

took

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox’s

Speaker:

shaft,

Speaker:

until

Speaker:

finally,

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

came

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

muzzle,

Speaker:

and he

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

everything

Speaker:

become

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

haze

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

also

Speaker:

came.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

scent

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

musk

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

honey

Speaker:

filled

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

air.
The wolf

Speaker:

pulled

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

rear,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

panther

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

lowered

Speaker:

gently

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

carpet.

Speaker:

Before

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

passed

Speaker:

out

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

exhaustion

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

looked

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

saw

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

wolf

Speaker:

and the

Speaker:

fox

Speaker:

looking

Speaker:

down

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

him,

Speaker:

smiling,

Speaker:

both

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

there,

Speaker:

glowing

Speaker:

softly

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

darkness of

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

store,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

pocket

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

light

Speaker:

around

Speaker:

them.

Speaker:

Then

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

were

Speaker:

gone,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

darkness

Speaker:

took

Speaker:

him.

Speaker:

Sammy

Speaker:

passed

Speaker:

out,

Speaker:

exhausted

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

pleasure.
#
“Hey,

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

okay?”
Sammy

Speaker:

blinked,

Speaker:

trying

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

focus

Speaker:

on his

Speaker:

surroundings. “What

Speaker:

time

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

it?”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

asked,

Speaker:

confused,

Speaker:

unsure

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

where

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

until

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

crashed

Speaker:

back

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

him,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

looked

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

light

Speaker:

being

Speaker:

shone

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

him.
The

Speaker:

coyote

Speaker:

who was

Speaker:

standing

Speaker:

over

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

rummaged

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

pocket

Speaker:

and fished out a phone. “12:13 AM. It’s past the

Speaker:

witching

Speaker:

hour.”
He

Speaker:

shook

Speaker:

himself

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

realized

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

his

Speaker:

boss,

Speaker:

Tina.

Speaker:

She

Speaker:

had

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

flashlight

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

one

Speaker:

paw.
“I

Speaker:

uh…”
“You

Speaker:

look

Speaker:

rattled,”

Speaker:

she

Speaker:

said. “Any

Speaker:

idea

Speaker:

where

Speaker:

your

Speaker:

clothes

Speaker:

are?”
Sammy

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

indeed

Speaker:

completely

Speaker:

naked. “Oh

Speaker:

god,

Speaker:

it’s

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

looks

Speaker:

like,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

blurted

Speaker:

out.
Tina

Speaker:

tilted

Speaker:

her

Speaker:

head

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

gave

Speaker:

an

Speaker:

amused

Speaker:

bark. “Oh, I

Speaker:

think

Speaker:

it’s

Speaker:

exactly

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

looks

Speaker:

like.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

hope

Speaker:

you’re

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

hurt

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

all.”
His

Speaker:

ears

Speaker:

went

Speaker:

back. “I’m

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

exhausted.”
“Yeah,

Speaker:

well

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

tend

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

that.

Speaker:

Come

Speaker:

on,

Speaker:

let’s

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

home.”
He

Speaker:

looked

Speaker:

at

Speaker:

her. “Wait

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

minute,

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

tend

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

do

Speaker:

that?”
She

Speaker:

held

Speaker:

up

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

piece

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

paper, the

Speaker:

piece

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

paper

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

instructions

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

put

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

on. “I’ve

Speaker:

seen

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

handwriting

Speaker:

before.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

whose

Speaker:

handwriting

Speaker:

this

Speaker:

is.

Speaker:

My

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

question

Speaker:

is,

Speaker:

did

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

have

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

good

Speaker:

time?”
He

Speaker:

blushed

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

looked

Speaker:

away.
“Yeah,

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

let’s

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

car.”
“Okay,”

Speaker:

he

Speaker:

said,

Speaker:

as

Speaker:

Tina

Speaker:

helped

Speaker:

him

Speaker:

up.

Speaker:

He

Speaker:

noticed

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

same

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

were on

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

counter.
“Those

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

hand—”
“I

Speaker:

know,”

Speaker:

said

Speaker:

Tina. “I

Speaker:

know

Speaker:

all

Speaker:

about

Speaker:

those. Now

Speaker:

let

Speaker:

me

Speaker:

see

Speaker:

what

Speaker:

they

Speaker:

did

Speaker:

with

Speaker:

your

Speaker:

clothes,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

can

Speaker:

go

Speaker:

home

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

get

Speaker:

some

Speaker:

rest.”
“What

Speaker:

are

Speaker:

you

Speaker:

doing

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

do?”

Speaker:

asked

Speaker:

Sammy.
Tina

Speaker:

barked,

Speaker:

amused. “Put

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

handcuffs

Speaker:

on

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

course.

Speaker:

Those

Speaker:

two

Speaker:

spirits

Speaker:

only

Speaker:

visit

Speaker:

once

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

year,

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I’m

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

going

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

miss

Speaker:

it.”
