I quickly pack up my shit and leave the hotel room. I leave no trace of my presents and I’m gone as if I was never there.
I arrive back at the house and find the head shrink frantically pacing back and forth. As soon as she sees me she buries her head in my chest as she wraps her arms around me. “You have no idea how sick I felt worrying about you. You were gone for such a long time I was beginning to think the worst.”
“Relax, I can take everything they have to throw at me. Besides, why do you even care, we literally just met today,” I say as I set my stuff down.
“Well, you are the one who saved my life. And I’d be pretty lost without you. As well as the fact that you’re still a human being,’ she says as she looks up into my eyes. “Are you hurt at all?”
“No, I’m fine,” I say as I unwrap myself from her. I walk over to the board and X out James and Calvin’s photos. “Two down, so many more left to go.”
“You’re going to take them all on by yourself?” she asks.
“Not by myself, I have you now,” I give her a smile.
“And just what do you think I can do to help?” she asks, raising both eyebrows.
“You are the bait, there is still a large bounty on your head.”
“Please, I can’t do that. What if…”
“Relax. I’m not going to put you in any real danger. But I do have an idea.”
“What is it?”
“I’ll set up a deal to give you over to them for the money.”
“What? You can’t!”
“Calm down. You’re not going with me. It’s just to draw them out so I can capture one and kill the rest of them. I’m not giving you up. We both want the same thing.”
“And what exactly is that?”
“To bring down the Jade Serpent.”
“No, that’s what you want. I just want to go back home to my family.”
“In order to do that, you’re going to have to kill all of them because they won’t stop hunting you until your dead or they are.”
“You can’t possibly take them all out,” she says.
“Maybe, maybe not. I have no choice but to try,” I say.
“Why?” she asks.
“Because they took everything from me,” I say.
“Everything?”
“As I said, I was raised to be a killer. They took me away from my family when I was just a baby. As soon as I could walk I learned how to kill,” I say.
“That’s so tragic. Did you ever find your family?” she asks.
“It’s a long story,” I say.
“You can tell me,” she says, placing a hand on my shoulder.
“That’s kind of you, but it’s not something I’d like to talk about,” I say. “How are you holding up?”
“How do you think?” she asks she folds her arms against her chest. “My entire life just got straight up fucked.”
“Yeah, no kidding,” I place my hand against the small of her back and guide her over to the sofa. “You can tell me about it if you’d like. We can reverse roles. Let me be your head shrink. Crap, I mean therapist.”
“And what experience do you have with therapy?” she asks.
“I talked to a therapist once. It was earlier today in fact,” I say. She laughs. “Hey, that’s a start. Now tell me about your family.”
She looks away. “Well, it’s just been my older sister and me for the longest time. She got married and had kids. So now I’ve got a 9-year-old niece and a 14-year-old nephew.”
“So tell me what happened to your parents? I know your mother left you and your father died, but I don’t know much else.” I ask.
“My father’s Portuguese and came to the US with his family when he was only 5. My mother also moved over when she was young from Italy. They met and got married. After we were born my mother for some strange reason left us. I haven’t spoken to her since I was 8. My father later died of cancer when I was 12. So for the longest time, it was just me and my sister. She was 18 when our father died. She basically gave up everything to look after me.”
“I’m sorry. That sounds awful. And yet, you’ve still managed to make a good life for yourself,” I say.
“Yeah, my sister made sure I went to college. She worked hard to give me that opportunity. I can’t let anything happen to her and her family. They’re all I have,” she says as a tear rolls down her cheek. I wipe it away with my thumb. She places her hand against the back of my palm and leans into my touch as she closes her eyes.
I lean in and place my lips against hers. We kiss as I wrap my arms around her and gently lay her down on the couch. My hand slides up her thigh, underneath her skirt. She suddenly tenses up as she grabs my arm. “Wait… Are you sure you want to do this?” she asks with a hint of panic in her voice.
“Why wouldn’t I be? You’re the one I’m worried about, are you sure you want to do this?” I ask.
“You’re not turned off that I’m trans?” she asks.
“Why would I be?” I ask. “I think you’re beautiful.”
Her face blooms into a cherry red. She leans up and kisses me as she lets go of my arm. I continue my journey up to her skirt as my hand flosses over the bulge in her panties. She shivers as I rub it, waking up the snake in her underwear. “Please!” she shouts, latching onto my arm. I look up into those brown eyes of hers. “Be gentle,” she breathes.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you,” I say.
She lets go. “It’s just… I’ve… Um.”
“Wait a second. Have you ever had sex before?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.
She meekly shakes her head no.
“Really? You can’t be serious. How has someone as beautiful as you have gone so long without having sex?” I ask. “I’m surprised guys aren’t chasing after you like flies after a dump truck.”
Her eyes fall away from mine. “It’s not that guys aren’t attracted to me. It’s just when they find out I’m trans, they tend to ghost me or worse. I have given up trying to find love.”
I take my hand and lift her chin up to meet my gaze. “That’s their loss then because you’re a total catch.”
She leans into me and our lips graze each others. I gently caress her cheek as her fingers tug on my shirt.
I lift my shirt up over my head and toss it aside. Her fingers graze over my body. I find the zipper to the back of her skirt, and tug it down. I slide her skirt off her caramel-colored legs. She’s got on a pair of white underwear. I can see the bulge between her legs. I look up into those brown eyes, her cheeks painted a rose color. I lean in and press my lips against hers.
She runs her hand up the back of my neck and through my hair. I make quick work of her blouse, taking it off of her. Next comes her bra. Her hands slide down my abs and attack my belt buckle. She quickly undoes my pants, I get up and kick them off.
She looks up at me with those enticed eyes, pulling me in with her gaze. I get in between her legs, sliding my hands up her thighs, over her panties as I start to tug them down, revealing her hardening cock. I slip them off her legs, kissing them along the way.
I spread her legs apart and kiss my way down them until I reach her crotch. I look up into her eyes as I press her legs against her chest. I kiss each cheek before bringing my tongue down the crack of her ass all the way to her tight little rosebud. She runs her hand through my hair as I smother her little pucker with my tongue.
She moans out as I slip my tongue inside her. My hand slides up and wraps around her stiff dick. She shutters under my touch. I withdraw my tongue and plunge my finger inside her tight little butt. She shudders and tenses up as a moan escapes her lips. I suck in a nut as I slide my digit in and out of her ass while I slowly stroke her cock.
