Don't Label Me! (24 page)

“
Yes.” Came a breathy but still
hesitant response. He knew it was not just the size of his cock
that she feared but also the anticipated pain she believed would
come when he pierced the barrier of her virginity.

“
Let me merge my mind with yours
Angel?”

“
How?”

“
Just have the intent for it to open
to me, much like your vagina is.”

“
You want to fuck my mind
too?”

“
Hmm, now that does bear thinking
about, but no. I want the intimacy of the mind bond as well as the
added advantage of being able to steal your pain when I breach your
barrier.”

“
That sound’s very
gentlemanly.”

Agh. “Less of the man bit. How about
gentledelphinely?”

She laughed at that. Letting go both the
tension in her body and her mind as her trust reached a new level.
“I’m ready as I’ll ever be Em. Let’s...”

He stole her voice with a measured thrust,
absorbing her pain as he did so. Patiently he waited as she
adjusted to the feel of him deeper in her body. Then and only then
did he start to steadily piston his cock in and out of her, feeling
her response, increasing the tempo.”

“
More please Em. Turns out I’m not
going to break afterall.”

“
You’ll trust me to feel what you
need?”

“
Yes, absolutely, please. I need to
feel you inside me. Mind and body.”

“
I would bond with your soul as well
if...”

“
Yes that too. Take me Em. Take me all
the way.”

Did she really mean that or was she just
swept up in the moment? He had to be sure. There was no undoing
what he was about to do. The soul binding would bind her not only
to him but to the whole of the pod. He read her mind and found only
certainty. She was under no illusions about what she was doing.

Not sure even how to do it in humanoid form
he partially shifted his throat and nasal structures, just enough
to make the delphine sounds he needed. No longer able to produce
human voice he transmitted images to her mind to show her what he
had done. Sensing no fear of backing out from her he buzzed her
with a peak burst of 130khz.

“
Wow. What was that? That felt
good.”

My short range echolocation. I am going to
use short bursts to target and cleanse each of your major chakras
as well as a few less well known ones. There is an extra chakra
half-way between the crown and the third eye. Some call it the
dolphin chakra, others call it the it the seventh eye. It is linked
with the Thalamas gland. It will connect you to the primal sound
which pervades the whole of the relative universe, called the
Mahanda, the great-vibration-melody

“
Oh. Will it hurt?”

No it should feel as
pleasurable as that short test burst I just sent you. Are you
ready. I cannot stop once I start this as it will unleash energies
within you that could cause major illness for you if I did not
channel them properly.
Would she trust him he
wondered?

Ang nodded, still wondering what a seventh
eye might be but frankly anything that connected her more deeply to
Em she was prepared to wholeheartedly embrace. “I’m ready.”

No sooner had she given form to that thought
she was hit by the same sense of internal buzzing she had felt only
minutes before.

Em seemed to snuggle closer, wrapping her in
his still humanoid arms and keeping her head above the waves. Safe
and secure she melted into the feeling of deep connection and the
energy cleansing that was sweeping through her body. Warm
sensations coursed through her, making her feel more expansive and
opened up, connected in some way to vastness of the ocean and
beyond.

Slowly she began to perceive something else.
The sound of a melody. She’d been expecting an OM-like sound but
this was something entirely different. It was bell like, clear,
resonant and yet simple in its purity. With it came the realization
that the created world was just one vast mass of vibration. It was
then that she began to hear them. Her pod. Their excited clicks and
chirps penetrated her mind, making perfect sense.

In that moment she allowed the vibration
that infused her to realign the particles of her being and she
shifted.

“
Hmm!” Hideo frowned as he and Sathi
left their meeting with the Lieutenant Governor of the Bailiwick of
Guernsey. “Nice people and great the way they are staying out of
party politics with their system of people’s
deputies...”

“
But they are still subject to the
British Crown and all their laws have to get the Royal Sanction
from the Privy council in London.” Sathi concluded. “Yes I don’t
think it’s the exact model we want to follow but at least it does
prove that the basic idea of consensus democracy is possible. And
they seem happy to advise us. I think we should send Lewis over for
round two of discussions though.”

“
I agree. He might even be able to
establish formal diplomatic relations between them and the realm of
fairy. We could do with friends and allies in the world outside of
Boswell, not just the sentient species who hide their presence from
mankind anyway.”

“
Maybe Lewis could suggest a sister
town relationship with these guys. As a start anyway.”

“
It’s a thought. On another thought
why don’t we go for a stroll along the harbour. South of here there
looks to be a bit of a cliff top walk. If we could get up there the
views could be stunning.”

“
Teleporting or walking?”

“
It’s a nice day, what’ya
reckon?”

“
Walk it is.”

They headed up some steps, past some old
Victorian bath house and then across the top, past hedgerows and
swathes of wildflowers, on towards Pleinmont, the island’s
southernmost tip. What was a trip on official business if you
couldn’t get in a bit of sightseeing?

The views were dramatic. A crystal blue sea
framed by an ancient rocky shore opened before them.

“
Wow.” Sathi shielded her eyes from
the afternoon sun as she took in the vista.

“
It is breathtaking.” Hideo
wholeheartedly agreed yet a sixth sense had him steering Sathi
towards the cover a rocky outcrop.

Sathi sensed the change in him. “What is
it?”

“
I could be wrong but I think we are
being watched.” In confirmation a flash of stone fire had him
bundling Sathi in his arms as he used an aikido move to roll them
out of the way. Not before a shot grazed his arm. Hideo cried out
from the searing pain as a piece of his flesh turning to
stone.

Sathi stared in horror at the wound. “We
need to get you out of here. Can you teleport?”

“
Not a prayer. There’s too much pain
for me to connect to the void. You have a bond with Kit. Telepath
her and tell her we need an urgent pick up. Meta or John. Sally too
if she’s around. She’ll be able to help with the arm.”

Sathi wasn’t sure what anyone could do about
the flesh now turned stone but she visualised Kit and hoped the
message would get through. For good measure she concentrated on
Simon as well.

“
Come out with your hands up and you
won’t be harmed.” A voice carried across the cliff top.

Sathi had a sudden thought. “Too late. You
already got my companion. He’s turned to stone.”

Hideo frowned. “What are you up to?”

Sathi put a finger to his lips to
silence him.
Trust me and ignore what I
say.
She hoped he got her mental message.
Stay put.

You better know what you are doing Sath.

Sath? Hmm. But she felt he meant it with
affection. “I’m coming down. Don’t shoot.”

“
Hands where I can see them,” their
accoster yelled back.

Sathi quickly rearranged her attire, tearing
the side hem of her skirt open, opening the collar of her shirt.
Then she used the cover of the rocks to get well away from Hideo
before she stood to show herself. She walked down the slope,
meandering in a slight but imperceptible zig zag, hoping to confuse
the enemy about the direction she had come from.

Seeing her totally unarmed the man in camo
gear lowered his weapons. “So I got him then? I thought it might
have been only a glancing shot.”

“
No, dead center on his back. Dropped
like a ... Well you know. No real loss though. Arrogant oaf. Seemed
to think he owned me or something. Now you wouldn’t be like that
would you?” She artfully fluttered her eyelashes at him.

The man looked confused by her reaction. He
rubbed his forehead absently as if trying to give himself a moment
to think. “Well, I don’t know about that mam. Just doing my job you
see. Told to bring you both in for questioning.”

Sathi’s eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed as
if on command, as she walked steadily into the man’s personal
space. “How about questioning me now? We’re all alone. When do you
need to get me back to your bosses? Couldn’t we play first?”

“
Er. Ah. Oh fuck, what the hell.” He
loosened the buttons of his own shirt and undid his belt before
closing the gap between them. He pulled her into his embrace and
crushed his lips to hers. “Damn you’re hot woman.”

But as he sealed the kiss she rammed her
knee into his balls, hard. As he crumpled to the ground in pain she
deftly grabbed his hand, yanking the fingers backwards, forcing him
into a prone position. She then kneed him in the back as she used
her other hand to retrieve the handcuffs from the back loop of his
jeans and secured him. “Now let’s have that questioning you wanted.
Who sent you and how did you know we were here?”

Met by silence she used her spare hand to
give his balls a tweek. “If you’d be wanting to keep these you
might want to rethink your silence.”

“
You don’t know what they’ll do to me.
Usually the last thing you see is your entrails before they consign
you to the Between.”

She didn’t know what the Between was but it
must be bad if this man feared it this much. She’d need to be
persuasive. “Or you could live, as a neuter.” She tweaked his balls
again. Harder this time.

“
Bloody hell bitch. You would wouldn’t
you?”

“
Oh you have no idea. I’ve spent years
studying the male form. There’s not much I can’t do to it, pain or
pleasure wise.”

“
F’ing hell. Okay, I’ll tell you. At
least I’ll die with my balls intact. We have a plant at St Peter
Port. He saw you going into the Lieutenant Governor’s place and
rang us. We have people everywhere in the world keeping an eye out
for you guys you know. You’re not hard to miss exactly, what with
your blazingly bright auras and all. Sort of gives you away you
know.”

Something they’d need to consider. She’d
need to report this. “Fair enough. What’s his name?”

“
Come on, I answered your question.
Let me go. I’m dead as it is now anyway.”

“
But if you’re dead anyway why not
tell me?”

“
Because while his host body will die
his oversoul will come back and infect someone else. He’ll still be
working for us. He know’s he can’t escape.”

Sathi gasped as she realized they had
company. “And who are you?”

“
Me or the organization I work for? My
name is General Polemarch.”

Sathi didn’t know the name but she turned
her head and saw an exceedingly bright rainbow coloured aura which
just didn’t add up. He seemed to sense her assessment and winked at
her.

I am an ally of your
Malakim friends.
He telepathed to her privately.
“Release this man to me. I will ensure he gives you no more
trouble.”

“
But sir?” The man beneath her knees
squirmed. “I was following orders.”

“
And I’m changing your orders. What
you have to decide is whether you want to go back and report your
failure to Sakla or whether you would like to continue in this host
body.”

“
Sir?”

“
Do you want to live?”

“
Definitely, but...”

“
Are you willing to renounce and face
the karma of your crimes.”

“
Um? Will that hurt?”

“
Yes but you get to live. Your
oversoul will be merged with your host’s body. The two will become
one.”

“
And I won’t have to face Sakla and
get thrown into the Between.”

“
I will ensure your safety. You will
work for me personally. You will swear your allegiance to
me.”

The light bulb finally switched on for the
poor man. “You’re staging a coup against Sakla?”

“
Not yet. And if I thought for one
minute that you’d tell him I’d banish you right now into the lowest
levels of the manifest universe where even the Between would look
good. I need men I can trust and I see potential in you. You’ve
even got brains, enough you’ve sealed your own fate. You can either
agree to my proposal of I will banish you to the
depths.”

“
I swear allegiance to you
Sir.”

“
You understand any betrayal will have
grave consequences for you.” Polemarch emphasised the
‘grave’.

“
Yes Sir, I won’t forget this Sir. I
won’t betray you.”

“
Then let him up Ms
Rupasinghe.”
