Hekate's Passage: A Story of Sex and Rock'n'roll, Part 1, Vol. 1 (21 page)

My knees turn weak hearing this, but I fight to control myself and not succumb to desire right here and now. I laugh helplessly.

“Don’t you trust your heavy-metal brothers to keep their hands off us?”

“Not really, you’re too tempting, my sweet,” Tony says seductively, caressing my back, which sends waves of fire through my body. “These boobs of yours speak to all of us. Couldn’t you wear something more concealing?”

“Well, I always dress like this,” I smile and try to tease them, “why should I be wearing a potato sack to hide what I have. And they are 100 percent natural. I don’t think you would really prefer me to wear a more concealing top. You wouldn’t be able to enjoy this nice view yourselves.” I look them both in their eyes. There’s a moment of sexual tension between us.

“Baby, if you continue teasing us like this, we’ll fuck you here and now,” whispers Jim close to my ear while putting his hand on my arse.

I tremble and sigh.

“However tempting it is, I suppose we’ll have to do without it for a while. I don’t think the owners of this establishment would be understanding, or maybe they would be,” I hesitate. The guys laugh.

“
Come on. Let’s join the others,” says Jim. And they steer in the direction of Babette and Yasmin, who have just been joined by Colin, who is leading a relatively small, slim, long- haired guy. He’s more or less the same height as Jim, but a bit more muscular and his hair is straight. He has his back to me so I don’t recognize him at first, but later on I see that it’s Drew Johnson. We all greet him and he eyes all of us gals up and down and exclaims jealously.

“Damn, where did you pick so gorgeous chicks?”

“You see, we told you,” says Tony, and replies to Drew. “It’s a long story…”

Yasmin’s Story:

The night is wonderful. I am sitting between Drew and Colin, beginning to let my body and mind get entangled in my wildest dreams. All the frenetic music, the excited people, dancing, drinking and screaming add to my mood. Babette, Eleyne and the guys, are all very hot and enthusiastic.

“Well, why not start your story?’ Drew suggests looking at me and smiling. ‘Sure you will have something interesting to tell.”

“The truth is that…” I hesitate a little, “it is a very long story … but I am here because I am a researcher.” I summon my courage. “I am Argentinean, I am leading a research about paranormal issues related to a place near this city, a place nicknamed Hekate’s Passage, where some incredible things have been reported over the years…”

Drew glances at me, and asks me:

“Really? Are you from South America and made that long travel to do some research? That’s funny, really… What are you looking for?”

I sip my champagne and look at his eyes; he is scanning me, trying to guess what I am doing here, very excited for some reason.

“Well, I have a theory about energies, electromagnetic and unknown energies, which might be acting here, just like in the Bermuda triangle. The institute in where I study sponsored my travel, and also helped me to get reunited with my friends, who also are interested in the case and well, I am here…”

“I was in South America,” Drew remarks, “in Rio de Janeiro… You know Rock in Rio?”

“Oh, yes. I could not go but who could ignore that? It was something extraordinary… Steel Virgin in South America… My God…”

He feels flattered, he gets that I am a great fan of theirs, but he is really sure I am great Julian Twist fan, too. I hold Colin’s hand in mine all the time we are chatting. I sip my champagne and I exchange glances with Colin. He is calm, cool, not showing the smallest hint of jealousy, at least not right now.

Eleyne’s Story:

We all sit down on some comfortable sofas and start chatting. Drew is asking questions. Yasmin reveals a bit about herself, saying she’s a researcher who came here from Argentina to investigate electromagnetic and unknown energies in Hekate’s Passage. Vague enough, but true… I think hard trying to guess how much she will want to reveal about ourselves while they keep on talking about Steel Virgin’s gig in Rio when I hear:

“And you Eleyne? Babette? I gather that you’re not Argentinean.”

I feel Tony’s arm around my shoulders and I smile in my mind, it seems as if he wanted to mark his prey, so that the others couldn’t try to poach me from him.

“I’m Polish and Babette is French.”

“Polish?!” he exclaims. “We played a few gigs in Poland last year. It was a …… unique experience…” he says diplomatically.

I laugh.

“Your Polish fans were extremely delighted to have you there, but I bet you must have been surprised at the Polish reality.”

“Well, it was strange,” he pauses to think. “Are you researchers, too? Just like Yasmin?”

“We are interested in the subject but we are not professionally bound to it. We just tag along and enjoy the results of the research, Yasmin enjoys them too,” Babette answers winking.

All the guys laugh. Then Colin shares glances with Tony, Jim and Ted and says.

“You can stop hedging around, gals. He will believe you if you tell him the whole truth. They are from the future, from 2011. It seems that these energies really work somehow.”

“Are you kidding me?” Drew stares at him surprised. “Or are you completely drunk?”

“We have our reasons to believe them. We found Yasmin on the road to Hekate’s Passage two days ago, she was completely confused when she saw us. She was talking about her friends in the stone circle dancing around naked, disappearing in a strange fog.” Here he winks, “of course she got our attention just by mentioning the word ‘naked girlfriends’ and we went with her to investigate,” says Tony. Everybody laughs.

Then he continues the story of how they found us on the hill and how the fog suddenly attacked and how we all escaped. Afterwards he proceeds to tell him everything, about finding Babette the next day and Melisa’s disappearance this morning and he also talks about the gadgets that we brought with us and finishes.

“Man, this equipment is really cool. We played with it almost half a day today.”

Drew looks at us disbelievingly, then stares at the guys.

“Do you believe them?”

“At first we didn’t, even though we did hear some stories of the Passage, too. But then we simply saw what these gadgets can do. We don’t have anything like that yet. They showed us this tiny music player that had all our records inside. What’s its name? I forget.”

“It’s an iPod,” replies Yasmin, “and actually I could even load more music there. Like three times of what it is there now.”

“You didn’t say this before. And their computers are incredible, small, light and fast. We didn’t even try all their functions yet,” Tony says, with excitement in his voice. d.

“And you say that one of the gals disappeared in the morning?” Drew asks again, “shouldn’t you call the police or something?”

“It was quite distressing,” Jim admits, “but Eleyne and Yasmin have great soothing powers.” Jim winks at him. “Anyway the police would be no good. They have to follow the law and what could we actually tell them? The cock-and-bull story about devil’s tricks that our cook told us? What’s more,
there would be trouble for Yasmin. She is Argentinean and you know, there was a kind of... well... her country and ours have had a recent, disgraceful episode of war... a war, motherfucker...
And the gals don’t want to show their ids…”

“Yes, we don’t,” I confirm. “It’s better for any officials not to see them. Even because of issue dates… Mine was issued in 2006…” I say, continuing to to sip my champagne.

Yasmin’s Story:

The talk becomes more intense and I think that we should reveal something that might not be convenient for everybody.

“We can´t show to the common people what we have shown you, even in your case, we have done so only to convince you of our origin and intentions. Our goal is to understand what has happened to us and how we could get back to our time,” I say, while looking Colin in the eyes and add, “I’d prefer to stay here but it would break the rules of physics, Gods, the Universe or whatever else.”

Drew looks dumbfounded.

“I can´t believe a word, sorry, gals. You look great and sound like it is true but …” he shakes his head and stares at us wondering.

“Come home with us and take a look at the gadgets,” Tony invites him. “Then you will be convinced.”

“Why not?” Drew accepts and smiles at me. “You are the researcher, have you got any instrument or gadget to measure paranormal activity with you, too?”

“I have one in my bag, back at the Cottage. I had all the equipment in the car, when I disappeared and landed here.”

Drew shakes his head.

“I begin to wonder about your soothing powers, gals. You are working my head now. I want to go that place to see how grim it is and after that, see your gadgets myself.”

The champagne is running out rapidly so we order more. Meanwhile we hear the music playing, mainly hard rock, Silver Viper sounds aloud with
Sexy an’ Smooth
and Drew remarks.

“They were in Rio, too. I think Steven is somewhere around here…”

“Really?” Babette exclaims. “I love Steven, he is extraordinary.” And then she moderates her expression under Ted’s watchful eyes. “He is a great singer, so attractive…as an artist.”

“We can look for him later,” Colin doesn’t seem to want to stop us from meeting new people, “now we can go out and dance. What do you say, Yasmin?”

I agree with him. I’m just feeling about to explode with energy, let my mind escape from of all worries…he is with me, and that’s wonderful, simply a gift of heaven, I think. We dance a couple of songs, while Eleyne and Babette do the same with their mates. There’s lonely Drew talking with lonely Jim drinking champagne and looking at us, gals. So when Colin and me walk to our seats he tells me.

“Why don´t you dance with them? With Drew or with Jim? The other gals can help later too.”

I cannot believe it, I eagerly answer I would gladly do it and reach to Drew, who looks mesmerized but soon, he recovers and we go dancing for a while. Then I see Babette is taking Jim by the hand and inviting him to dance while
Cum Hear the Noize
by Quiet Riot is in the air.

Finally Drew and I return to our seats, he has one arm around my shoulder, saying. “You´re extremely cool, Yasmin. Too much cool for being a paranormal researcher…”

I laugh and sit on Colin’s lap, as if to make some difference but then comes Babette with Jim and Ted is followed by young and yummy Steven Greendale, the front man of Silver Viper. Eleyne and Tony come back from the dancing floor together. .

Again there are the introductions, and the talk about us being hot foreign gals repeats once more. But this time nobody wants to mention our paranormal appearance. I whisper into Colin’s ear.

“Please, stop telling people about our story or we will get into trouble.”

He nods and accepts. I look to the rest of the band, and just suggest with my eyes that keeping it low would be great for us.

Steven seems very interested in Babette, although Ted is highly visible at her side, he has understood that his crush is incapable of avoiding Steven’s attraction.

She is laughing very loudly, her eyes are bright and she tries to keep her attention on Ted, but she seems absolutely to be melting for both men; and I know after one full of year of chatting online with her that she is in love with both of them. Now it’s her turn to enjoy, and she cannot believe it. She’s just waiting for Ted’s permission, which seems to be delayed.

I put my arm around Colin’s shoulders, playing with his shirt, pinching the fabric, feeling hot once again, and start to kiss his ear, gently biting his earring. I like his aftershave, love to be near his skin. This seems to awake some inner feelings in Drew, who is sitting near and catches one of my fingers, looking at me lustfully; he then turns his eyes to Colin, who is fully relaxed, as if he has not seen anything of this. Taking this as a good sign, Drew comes close to me and openly holds my hand. I don´t know what to say, but I see the other couples are making their arrangements for a night of threesomes.

Eleyne looks a bit flushed and Jim comments about it. She laughs, takes his hand and brings him to the dancing floor. Soon another slow song starts playing. I catch a glimpse of what she and Jim are doing and it seems quite exciting. For a moment I wonder if I shouldn’t do the same with Colin, but after a moment I decide against it and go with him to the upper floor, where a balcony with a view to the dance floor is available for those who want to use it. My only wish is to be alone with him for a while and breathe some fresh air. Drew stays resigned to his luck and happily sips his drink..

I lean my back on a pillar, breathe deeply, and hang my arms around him. He puts his hands on my waist, without talking, he kisses me softly. Then, he begins to press his hips against me, pushing me softly against the pillar. I listen to the far away sound of the music, let my mind fly away, let him press me more while I put my head on his chest, licking it softly.

“I want to be back home now, baby,” I whisper.

“We´ll be going back in minutes. Eleyne wants to enjoy her time with Tony and Jim, dancing like a romantic gal,” he grins, “you are not so romantic, you are naughty.”

“Hate romantic things,” I laugh, “think they are a teenage foolishness. Pure bullshit! But do you really think Eleyne is romantic? Have you seen what she is doing with Jim now?”

“Perhaps, you’re right. I just wonder when they will begin to fuck down there. I’m not sure though if this club is ready for what Jim may show them.”

He is laughing with me, we are ironic in some degree, but we cannot deny our mutual attraction. He plays with my hair, like trying to make a little braid with some locks, and then he pulls it out gently, like a mischievous boy.

“What do you think, Yasmin? The Goddess, this Hekate, is she mocking us?” His look is clearly ironic now, then he gets anxious. “Why do I feel so attached to you?”

“I don´t know,” I try to be reasonable. “There are a lot of things we cannot explain. I don´t need a goddess to make them stranger.”

“You told us about her, remember. Now, I am beginning to suspect that you are the goddess,” he laughs. “You seduced me first, and now, you’ll seduce Drew tonight…he´s captivated by you, gal.”
