Short Story Soup

Fore! (Intersex gxg)

A/N - This is another one shot fanfic for the Pride Book Club that I'm a member of. This is from the book Guiding Light, a very cool gxgxg supernatural book by xJadesx that is a lot of fun to read. That book has a minor character from the underworld named Thalia, who is the main character in this little short.

               "Come on CJ, why are you doing this to me?" I complained as we loaded our golf clubs onto the back of the two golf carts. "You promised mini golf! This is not mini golf! And who names a golf course Widow's Walk? This looks like a hard course!" Why on earth did I have to be a Guardian to someone who loved golf? Why couldn't she love the beach, or hot tubs?

"Thalia, you'll have fun. I promise." The young woman I was destined to guard, and her mate, Taylor, piled into their cart while I finished putting my clubs onto my cart, and then they took off towards the first tee.

I just groaned and flopped back on the cheap vinyl seat of the little electric cart, wishing that the day was already over. Regardless of what CJ said, I didn't think I was going to have a good time at all today. I was about to stomp on the gas and accidentally run over some flowers when a voice interrupted my inner bitching.

"Hey! Hold up!" I looked over my shoulder to see a stunning blond walking quickly towards me with an expensive golf bag slung over her shoulder. "The pro shop said you had room for one more, so I'm your extra."

I could only gawk for a moment, staring at her gorgeous features. Her dirty blonde hair was tied back in a very loose ponytail, with stray strands already escaping, and I had no idea how her breasts were being constrained by the sleeveless red top that was cut sinfully low for a golf outing. As for her legs, well they were long and muscular, and delightfully shown off by the black shorts that she was wearing. I couldn't even formulate words as she strapped her golf bag onto the back of the cart. Moments later, she slid onto the seat next to me with a wide smile.

"Hi, I'm Remiel, but you can call me Remy." She held out her hand as the scent of lavender wafted about me. I stared down, looking at her long fingers, before I finally was able to shake my mind loose from the haze and take her hand in mine.

"I'm Thalia. Nice to meet you. Are you ready to go?"

"Oh, yeah! Sorry about the late arrival. I'm normally not one to break up a threesome, but who says no to one more, am I right?" She gave me a little wink, and I almost died.

"Oh, I get it!" And I did. She was flirting with me! I wasn't doing well lately, since I'd been duped by someone I trusted, Selene, into fighting on the wrong side of a war. So, being flirted with right now caught me by surprise. With my self-confidence at an all-time low, it felt good, but I still wasn't sure how to proceed. Fuck it, I decided to just jump in with both feet. "I never turn down hot hitchhikers, so welcome aboard." I gave her a wink of my own, and pressed my foot down on the gas pedal, shooting us down the cart path after CJ and Taylor.

That pair was standing on the first tee stretching, no doubt getting ready to launch their drives down the first fairway. It really wasn't fair to the golf balls. CJ was a future werewolf alpha, and Taylor was her mate, making them both very powerful. That meant that they could hit the ball much further than even pros on the PGA tour thanks to their heightened strength and coordination. I was CJ's Guardian, tasked with guiding and protecting her until she took over her pack, and I had the same physical advantages as them. I just couldn't hit the damn ball straight. Looking out at the course and seeing all the trees and wetlands lining the fairways, I knew I was going to lose a lot of golf balls in this round.

"Have you played here before?" Remy asked while getting out and grabbing her driver from the golf bag.

I shook my head as I followed her. "Nope. Those two are on a tour of the different states and checking out golf courses everywhere. They promised me mini golf today, but they lied. I think we're going to head to Rhode Island tomorrow, and then Connecticut after that."
