Tripping the Night Fantastic

Chapter 10

The door to the lab flew open and slammed against the wall.

Charlie looked up. Silhouetted in the door frame, Simon looked like a psychopath.

'Err... hi, Simon, everything ok?' said Charlie.

'What the fuck is she doing here?!'

Charlie looked at her, 'She's lying on her back while Keep and I lick Merlin off her naked body.'

'Merlin?'

'That's what I named the drug,' said Keep.

Simon remembered he was angry and got back to it.

'That bitch has ruined everything!'

'Ah, yes, it may seem that way...' Charlie began.

'It is that way!'

Keep could see that things were about to get physical so he edged past Simon and went up to The Basement for safety and a drink. Charlie continued.

'Ok, but, are you annoyed that your wife cheated on you or that Amelia got laid?'

Simon paused for a moment, 'both!'

'Do you find Amelia attractive?' asked Charlie, trying a different angle.

Simon looked at her. Did bodies like hers even exist in real life? It didn't seem possible. The Merlin rushing around her body was making her squirm with bliss. He had never seen anything so enticing in his life. His jeans twitched. He tried to lie but his tongue wouldn't allow it.

'She's stunning,' he said.

'Would you like to have sex with her?'

Amelia looked up at Charlie through hallucinating eyes and wondered if what she was hearing was real. She felt amazing. She tilted her head to get a look at Simon. He was sparkling like glitter in the sun. Boy, did she ever love this drug.

'Now?' asked Simon.

'Sure, she probably won't mind. Would that make you feel even against Jane?'

Simon Jr. who had been setting up camp in Simon's underpants during this conversation, decided to take over on the whole decision making side of things.

'Yes,' it said, making use of Simon's mouth.

'Amelia, do you mind?' asked Charlie.

Amelia looked back up at Charlie, 'No,' she said, 'I want to make him happy.'

Simon smiled stupidly. His rational brain struggled for control over his genitals, and for a moment he changed his mind, unfortunately he was defeated.

Amelia beckoned him over with a seductive index finger.

At the small window, that was letting shafts of moonlight into the lab, Jane was watching Simon with interest. She had followed him from the studio with the hope to apologize properly.

She was about to head up to the Basement behind him, maybe to approach him with a drink, she wasn't really sure, when he had taken an unexpected left-turn down an un-lit staircase. She ducked into the shadows to avoid being seen and then knelt down to see what this mystery place was. It was all she could do not to topple over in shock when she saw what was going on in there. She couldn't hear the conversation but she could see what was happening.

Amelia was there, naked and spread out on a table like she was a part of some kind of ritual. Simon was shouting at Charlie. And then... shit! Keep's coming up the stairs!
