“MARISA!” Sigrid called out suddenly.
Seconds later the door opened, and the blond beauty took one look at Henry’s face before dropping to her knees before him and taking him deep into her throat as Sigrid released her grip.
“Fuck!” Henry gasped as he curled over Marisa’s head as his stalled orgasm resumed.
Siobhan was standing in the doorway, watching wide-eyed. Sigrid would have closed the door, but she was struggling to keep her wings from opening.
When Henry uncurled, Marisa squeezed his cock from base to head to get the last of the cum from him. She stood with a smile for him and saw him staring at the doorway as he gasped for breath. She turned and saw Siobhan frozen with surprise. She walked over to face her friend.
“What happe-MMMFF!” Siobhan began then Marisa kissed her, transferring his essence into the brunette’s mouth. “MMM!” Siobhan squealed at the flavor then the energy flashed through her nerves as she swallowed. She languidly pulled back from the kiss. “Wha-”
“Does it feel different than the energy you received last night? Marisa asked.
Siobhan held still and thought about that. “Stronger… much.”
Scalp tingling deliciously, her hair grew down to her calves then stopped. Her eyes closed and she shivered as her skin tingled with goosebumps. “oh shit… that feels so good!”
Henry joined them in the doorway once he had his pants on again and stared at Siobhan’s hair. “What the hell!” he breathed.
“Her change began last night on her date. Your magic completed it just now.” Marisa explained as she guided her tingling friend back to the living room. Henry followed, and moments later a grinning Camila joined them.
“I feel so good!” she sighed.
Sigrid finally joined them and gave Henry a timid little smile. When he returned her smile, she blushed and roughly pulled him into a hug.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“You’re so sweet!” he whispered in her ear. She pushed him back, eyes flaring, and shook her finger at him. “Don’t get me started again!” He chuckled.
“Did you reach Roy?” Camila asked.
Sigrid shook her head. “He’s gone radio silent. I left him a message telling him where we’re going. “Can we get there by foot?”
Henry was watching Siobhan make her hair contract until it only reached her shoulders. His jaw was hanging open, and Marisa reached over and lifted it closed for him. He blinked at her then looked over at Sigrid. “Sorry, wha- oh! It’s very close by, but the mooring is in the far side of the channel, and you’ll have to go all the way around. Driving makes more sense.”
“Let’s go then!” Sigrid said and gestured to the door.
“Wait, you mean us?” Henry asked in surprise.
“It’s going to take Roy time to see I’ve left a message and more time to get to us. She could leave before he gets there. She might be getting ready to leave right now! We need to go!” Sigrid insisted.
They exited the condo, Henry locking up behind them, and took the elevator down. They rushed outside and stuffed themselves into Camila’s car.
“For making a rescue, shouldn’t our escape vehicle be large enough to contain all of us? We barely fit now!” Henry complained, squeezed in between Marisa and Siobhan in the back seat. The two ladies were grinning at Henry’s squirming.
“We find the yacht, confirm he’s on it, then we prevent it from leaving until Roy, and his team can get there,” Sigrid said calmly.
Henry stared incredulously at the side of Sigrid’s face until she noticed and looked back. “What?”
Henry sighed. “One. That truly sounded like an oversimplification. Two. We’re not a Seal Team-”
“Cheeky,” Siobhan snorted, and Marisa burst into laughter.
Henry looked at them like they’d lost their marbles but continued. “Three. Have you confirmed that Roy and his team are even coming?”
Sigrid turned in her seat to look into Henry’s nervous eyes. “Siobhan can find the yacht faster than any of us without being seen. She may be able to disable it as well.” She looked to Camila. “Do you have jumper cables or a length of chain in the trunk?”
Camila looked at her oddly. “Jumper cables? Why would I have those? I do have plenty of strong, light chain though.”
Sigrid held up her hands to stop any further explanation. She looked back to Henry. “Siobhan can tangle the rudders with the chain. Or the anchor. It’s a temporary measure, but that’s all we need.”
Henry looked to Siobhan who was smiling back at him. “I’m more than just a pretty girl, you know,” she said with a grin, reminding him of his awkwardness with her the first time they’d met.
“I know! I suppose… because you’re here, you must be someone capable of doing these things,” he said, struggling to find the words.
Siobhan just grinned and nodded to him as she placed her hand on his leg. Marisa rested her hand on his other leg. He gave their matching grins a wary look.
Sigrid continued. “Confirming our target is on board is going to be the more difficult task-”
“Can’t we just disable the ship and wait for Roy?” Henry suggested.
Camila glanced at him in the mirror. “We have to get him away from the Marquise before she… powers up.” She grinned at Henry.
Henry’s cheeks burned as he recalled the little party in his room.
“Does that happen to you a lot?” Siobhan asked quietly.
He glanced at her curious expression. “No, that was a first,” he mumbled.
Sigrid picked up where she’d been interrupted. “Camila and Marisa will create a diversion by confronting the Marquise. I assume the ship will have Human armed guards I’ll need to get past-”
“HOLD ON! Do you hear what you’re saying?” Henry exclaimed. “Don’t forget the other major complication. Because of its size, the only mooring for the yacht is at the end of a long narrow dock with many other boats. There may be people in those boats. We may not even be able to get on the dock as there are gatehouses on each dock. You probably need a key or a code. It might as well be a castle with a moat. It’s a ship… on water. Surrounded by… deep water.”
Siobhan reached up and gently turned his chin to make him look at her. “Henry, can you swim?”
He sucked in a sudden breath. “NO! Ok? I don’t know how to swim! And I’m not a fighter. I’m useless in this situation. You’re talking about walking directly into danger, and I won’t be able to help or protect anyone!”
“You don’t think we can take care of ourselves?” Sigrid asked with a little stiffness in her tone.
He locked eyes with her. “Of course, I do! I know exactly how capable you are, but you’ll be out in the open, unable to use your abilities without being seen. That doesn’t make it easier for me to hide in the shadows while my friends are risking their lives!”
“Henry, we need someone to watch for Roy and direct him to our location when he arrives. I was hoping you could do that,” Sigrid said calmly, and he nodded shakily. He knew she was keeping him out of harm’s way as the more capable players took risks and got the job done.
Then they were driving down the road parallel to the marina. They pulled into the parking lot entrance, and Camila took a ticket to open the gate.
“When Roy gets here he’ll be driving directly over the field to get to the parking lot. He won’t come in through the gate. He’s going to need to know where to turn in to get to where we’ll be,” Sigrid explained.
Henry was looking at the path along the water’s edge and worried at how many lights were lighting up the entire length. He couldn’t see the boats yet to know how many witnesses there would be. They parked midway between the first two light standards where the light was the dimmest.
“I’m going to look for the yacht. I’ll be right back,” Siobhan said quietly. Henry slapped his hand over the ceiling light, muffling it as her door opened and closed.
“Good thinking, Henry. We’ll make a spy of you yet!” Sigrid said with a smile and reached up to switch the dome light off.
Henry was watching where Siobhan had ducked into the bushes in the shadows. Then she was done, and a dark shape bounced across the path and dove into the water.
“Now we wait,” Camila said.
Henry was fretting about the lights. They needed a way to turn them off.
Not too long after, Marisa made a noise and pointed. “She’s back!” she chirped as the dark shape shot out of the water and bounded across the path into the bushes. Moments later, Siobhan was rushing across the grass to the car. She slipped inside once more.
“Hey! Watch the leather seats with your wet…” Camila began then stopped as she stared at the grinning and bone dry young woman. “How?”
“I don’t know, but this is so much better than its ever been!” Siobhan was vibrating with excitement.
“Did you find the yacht?” Sigrid asked.
“Yes! The Jolly Jenny is where Henry said it would be, at the end of a dock, three to our left. There’s a lot of movement on the deck. They may be getting ready to go.”
Camila and Sigrid shared a look and exited the car. As they moved to the back, Marisa and Siobhan stepped out as well. Not wanting to be left in the car, Henry got out and looked around. He walked back and saw Camila handing Siobhan a coil of the chain.
“Will you be able to carry this in your other form?” Sigrid asked.
“Yes. Not comfortably, but yes,” Siobhan said, examining the chain.
“Don’t take any chances. If you can use the chain to block them from leaving immediately, do it. Be careful,” Camila said.
Siobhan grabbed the chain and dashed off back to the spot she’d first entered the water.
Camila looked at Marisa, and they shared a nod. With a glance to Sigrid, they headed up the path.
“Do you have Roy’s cell number?” the tall blond asked.
Henry pulled out his phone and showed her his call history. She nodded as he’d been the last call.
“Call him and get an update on his ETA,” she asked as she turned to walk towards the dark grassy field.
“Wait. How are you going to get on the ship?” Henry asked.
“I can fly, remember?” she said in exasperation.
“Yes, but you glow like the sun!” he exclaimed.
She smiled at his description. “I’m going to suppress that. It’s not easy, and I can only do it for short periods, so short flights.” She turned and jogged off into the darkness.
Henry stood behind the car feeling useless. He called Roy, but it went to voicemail. He left a quick but detailed message telling him what was happening. Then he hung up.
He looked into the trunk and spotted a large hooded cloak much like the one he wore the night his original human disguise first failed. He lifted it out and pulled it on. He grabbed the tire iron as well. He closed the trunk. Looking at the large building at the start of the walkway leading to the docks, he pulled the hood up to hide his face then went to see if there was something he could do about all these lights.
