Sixty-Seven: Dangerous Liaisons

Contains language, sexual content.

Hunter scooped up his grandson.

His fingers curled and he teased Cody with the so-called ‘claw’.

He tickled him. Cody shrieked in delight.

Hunter laughed as he continued tickling the baby. Then he spun him around.

“Dad, you’re crazy!” Ashton giggled.

Hunter cuddled and kissed him.

“Do you know how much I missed you, Cody?” he said. “I haven’t seen you since you were a newborn.”

Cody chortled, blissfully chewed on his fingers.

Kat glanced at Ash. She was looking at Aubrey. Or glaring at her.

Aubrey was glaring at all of them.

Reznik studied one of the spell books Tia had left.

He planned to utilize his natural abilities, in conjunction with learned spells to help defeat the Dempires.

Strange sparklies floated into the air, in various shapes and silhouettes.

He tried a spell of enchantment.

Spell book pages lit up. Mini bolts of lightning shot upward. The pages turned on their own, like something out of Harry Potter.

Reznik could always move objects with his mind, but some emotion was involved. Now he could perform such spells at will.

He stepped toward the center of the room.

Raising his arms, he chanted some foreign words and concentrated.

Fourth of July fireworks exploded in front of him. Or that’s what it looked like.

Even he was mesmerized by it.

An amazing light show. He’d never seen anything quite like it.

Reznik wished to try out his newly learned powers. He followed some Dempires to their lair, lurking behind a boulder as he spied on them.

They quietly spoke. Reznik strained to hear.

“You think they’re still in Shadowvale?” one asked.

“Don’t seem to be. I think they fled somewhere else.”

Reznik knew exactly whom they were talking about.

Two of them entered a cave.

Reznik really wanted to kill the new leader, but he was much more elusive than the others; which was obviously smart.

He watched the last one linger outside. Then he smiled to himself… evilly.

Hehe. You have no idea what’s coming to you, loser.

Reznik raised his arms.

Bluish light emanated from his hands and fingers.

Electricity discharged.

The Dempire fell to his knees.

Next came something utterly fascinating…

…as he froze into a statue. Even his yellow eyes changed to a pinkish hue.

His skin crackled and turned to dust.

Reznik got the hell out of there.

Then he stopped, just long enough to celebrate.

“Hell yes!”

Now he couldn’t wait to find his next victim.

So awesome is the ability to manipulate anything in the universe.

Meanwhile in Misty Peaks, a guest arrived on Aubrey’s doorstep.

“Vaclav! What are you doing here?”

“Came to see my beautiful wife and daughter, of course.”

Aubrey moved to the side to let him in.

“But what if you were followed by those… things? You really think it was safe to come here?”

“I made sure I wasn’t being followed. Everything will be fine.”

“What about Reznik? You left him alone?”

“Trust me. Reznik will be fine. He’s been studying magic on his own, so he can take care of himself.”

Hmm.

“What made you decide to visit?”

“I told you. I wanted to see you and Kat.” He paused. “So how are you and Kat? And Hunter?”

So that’s what this is really about. Hunter.

“Oh, you know. We’re doing okay. Getting along pretty well considering the circumstances.”

“Is that so? And how’s Kat getting along with Hunter?”

Oh, shit. Aubrey made an effort to block out any additional thoughts. After all, Vaclav could read her mind. At least more easily since she’d become a vampire.

“Good. They’re getting along good. I think.”

“As fantastic as that is, let’s ensure they don’t get along too well.”

Uh, yeah. But it might be too late for that.

SHUT UP, AUBREY!

Vaclav flashed her a bewildered look, but then gazed upon her with longing.

“I miss you.”

“Miss you too,” she replied.

They embraced.

Well, at least I can get me some dick tonight.

                                                   ** Kat’s POV **

Oh, hell no. What’s Dad doing here?!

That’s just great. Now how am I going to sneak into Hunter’s room?

Just a couple of hours before dawn.

To Kat’s intense disgust, her parents were getting it on in the next bedroom.

Something banged against the wall. She assumed it was their bed.

Since they were preoccupied, Kat had the chance to sneak away.

She hesitated outside their room, listening.

Yep. Bed springs still creaking. Wall still being knocked down. 

Eww.

She headed toward the kitchen, then the living room beyond.

The door to the master bedroom. She reached out and turned the knob.

Walking in, she gazed at Hunter as he slept.

Kat climbed into bed with him.

She snuggled close to him and fell asleep.

Later, he snuggled even closer to her.

Hunter’s arms tightened around her.

Shifting, she slowly awakened to the feel of his ‘morning’ erection as it poked her backside.

It felt… uncomfortable, so she squirmed out of his arms.

“Hunter,” she whispered. He didn’t wake up.

Turning to the side, Kat slid her right hand beneath the cover.

Curiosity claimed the Kat. For she wanted to see what Hunter’s enigma felt like.

Her fingers searched, feeling the silk fabric of his boxers. Then she found what she was looking for.

He drew in a quick, needless breath. Then he shot upright.

“Holy shit. What are you doing?”

“Nothing,” she mumbled.

But she didn’t stop.

Strange how it felt in her hand. How could something on a human (err not so much human) grow to be so big and… uh, yeah.

He flopped back down, his body writhing.

“Stop,” he breathed.

She didn’t.

He sat back up.

“I mean it, Kat. Stop.”

She jerked her hand away, pouting.

Hunter rose from the bed.

“Why won’t you let me touch it?” she asked.

He didn’t answer.

A knock came at the door.

“Hunter,” Vaclav said. “Kat’s not in her bedroom. Is she in there with you?”

Oh, God!

“She’s not in here,” Hunter said.

“Open the door so I can see for myself,” Vaclav demanded.
