It was definitely a big one. And I didn't want it to overpower me. It could easily do that with its size and muscles. The young man kept his distance as the demon made its way closer. I reached into my pouch and pulled a bat out. The wings on the device extended and I threw it at the demon. "Here's some sweat for you," I said as it caught the bat. The bat exploded blowing off the creature's hand. It cried out in pain and then leered at me. I smiled underneath my mask and jumped forward swinging my legs up and connecting with its chest. The demon stumbled backwards. I swung my leg up and connected with its head causing it to stumble into the wall. I saw a strip of glass between the pool and the lobby. 'Maybe that glass is normal glass,' I thought. I motioned for the young man to meet me over by the window. He complied. The demon grabbed my shoulder. I reached up with my other hand, grasped its wrist and spun underneath its arm causing it some pain. Then I kicked it in the stomach and flipped it over into the water. Without hesitation I turned and ran toward the glass. I grabbed the young man, spun around so my back was to the glass and kicked off the floor sending myself back-first into the glass. It shattered as we entered the lobby and landed on the floor. The two personal trainers came rushing out of offices where they had been watching the events unfold on the closed-circuit monitors. The young man rolled off me and backed up against the doors. I stood up and readied myself for a battle. "That thing will eat you," I said. "Your co-worker brought it here for selfish reasons. Why are you protecting him?" The trainers looked from one to the other. "Where is Nick?" I said. They looked around and he was gone. He had obviously headed up to the workout space. "Get to your offices and lock the doors. Take him with you." I motioned to the young man. "I'll get the Carnyss to follow me. Once it's passed here, get out and take this man to a hospital." "Like hell," one trainer said to me as he tackled me. "Nick made sure it wouldn't kill us." "How do you suppose he did that?" I said as I clasped my hands together and brought them down on the man's back. "Did he tell the demon not to eat the dumb ones?" "Ah, you piece of shit!" The trainer squeezed tighter. The other trainer grabbed the young man and tossed him into the pool area for the Carnyss demon to eat. I wasn't about to let that happen. I noticed a metal stand holding a sign displaying their hours of operation. The stand was to my right. I reached over and grabbed it. With what little room I had to maneuver, I swung it at the guy holding me and hit him in the back. He screamed out in pain and released me. As he sat up, I swung my leg out and connected with his chest knocking him off me and onto his back. I didn't have time to grab the other guy. There was a helpless man that needed saving from a muscle and sweat eating demon. I stood and ran into the pool area. The young man swam to the other side of the pool away from the Carnyss. "Hey!" I said getting the demon's attention. The Carnyss turned and I saw its hand had grown back. The demon's physiology allowed it to repair itself. 'This complicates things,' I thought. The demon swung at me and I ducked rolling on the floor and into the pool. Unfortunately it was the deep end. I kicked as hard as I could to get to the rope. I reached the rope quickly, thankfully, and pulled myself to the other side of the pool where I was met by a pair of feet and a hand. I looked up and saw the guy Nick attempted to feed to the Carnyss reaching out to help me. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. "Thanks," I said. "Thank you," he replied. "You seem confident. What happened?" "Nick gave me a fucking pill to make me a scared sissy. It didn't last long though." "I guess he wanted you compliant so you wouldn't fight the demon." "Is that what that is?" he asked. "You were thinking it was someone from California?" The guy looked at me quickly giving me a look of annoyance. "Sorry if that offended you. I mean, how often do you see an overgrown, hairless creature that eats muscle and looks like..." Realization donned on me. What if this creature were made completely out of muscle? If it were completely made out of muscle, then its weaknesses could very well be those things which hurt muscles. "Does the store in here carry caffeine pills?" "No. Do you know what that stuff does to muscles when you work out?" "Yes. That's why I asked. I need you to go to the gas station right around the corner and buy as much coffee as you can. Make sure its regular." "Yeah, right. What can I buy the coffee with? I don't have pockets handy." I thought of several things I could have said, most of which would have been inappropriate. Plus, this guy didn't give off the queer vibe so he wouldn't have appreciated my comments. "I'll get the demon to follow me into the locker room. A trainer is knocked out in the lobby. Get his clothes and take some of his money and get the coffee." The guy nodded and I ran to the other side of the pool where the demon was trying to figure out a way to get to us. When it saw me, it followed. I ran into the locker room to the other side and watched as the Carnyss came in. I chased me around the lockers with me narrowly missing its clutches. After several minutes of this, I headed back to the pool area and slammed the door shut locking it. I headed to the lobby where the guy was coming with several large cups of coffee. "Thanks," I replied grabbing them from him and running back into the pool area. "Uh, you're welcome!" he said. "Lock that guy in one of the offices," I called as I headed toward the locker room doors. "We don't want him getting away." I unlocked the door and stepped back. The Carnyss had bee pounding on the door trying to break it down. Because I unlocked it, it swung open and the creature stumbled out. Before it realized it, I was tossing coffee on its body covering it with the hot liquid. It jerked in pain from the heat. One splash landed in its eyes and it couldn't see. Then, as it stumbled around, its foot found the edge of the pool and it fell in. The creature thrashed around exerting more energy. And, like all muscles when caffeine has been absorbed into the blood stream, the creature's body contracted and absorbed the water, making its movements stiff. "That's bought me some time," I said to no one in particular. I ran through the glass and found the guy in an office with the unconscious trainer. He opened the door when he saw me. "Stay down and turn the lights off. Right now it can't do much of anything, but I think it will recover and attempt to feed." "Why can't I leave?" "I figured you would want to press charges against these guys for your humbling experience. But if you don't, fine. Go." I didn't have time to wait for him. I had to find Nick. I ran down the corridor and up the stairs. "Nick!" I called out. "The Carnyss is right behind me! Come out while you still can!" "Fuck no!" he yelled. I couldn't get a lock on him. His voice echoed throughout the upstairs. I entered and headed toward the machines as the Carnyss demon came up the stairs. I turned to move further away and tripped causing a loud clunking sound. It was enough for the demon to locate me. I rushed through the machinery and found myself in the free-weights area. I turned to see Nick heading toward the stairs. The demon saw him and turned toward him. I grabbed a nearby 45 pound weight and lifted it. I ran to where I had a clear shot and yelled. Both the demon and Nick turned to me. I hurled the weight like I did a bat. It spun in the air and hit the demon in the head. Because it absorbed so much water and became so stiff, the impact caused its head to explode. As the body fell backwards, it hit Nick and he slipped over the railing. I ran up and saw him as he dropped to the floor below me. I stepped onto the railing and jumped opening my cape to safely lower me. I landed and was hit by Nick and his friend simultaneously. I fell into the glass doors. The trainer came over and grabbed me, turning me so Nick could punch me in the face. "Why the hell are you here?" "Investigating the missing customers. Why did you do it? Are you avenging the torment you went through in high school?" "Shut up," he said as he punched me again. "That's it...isn't it? You seek vengeance on those who made fun of you. Because you were skinny and scrawny?" The trainer laughed. "Nick skinny and scrawny? No fucking way!" Nick turned and glared at him. Then he punched the trainer who stumbled into the steps. "Nobody laughs at me," Nick said. "Nobody." "You're not alone," I said. "I was picked on for being overweight in school. Do you know what I did?" Nick shook his head. "I got over it. Kids get teased. It's horrible that it happens, but it does. Children need to be taught to appreciate the inside, kindness and compassion. You didn't have anyone do that for you. I'm sorry for that, but teasing happens. You're a grown man now. You can decide whether you let your past haunt you or not." Nick took a swing at me and I ducked bringing my fist up to meet his stomach. Evidently he was going to let his past haunt him. He swung his arm around and hit me in the head sending me into the wall. I turned around in time as his fist came for my face. I ducked and heard the impact of bone to concrete. Several of his knuckles broke with the impact. As he turned around I spun around and kicked him in the face, dropping him to the floor. I turned and saw the personal trainer running down the hallway. I pulled out a bat and hurled it at him, knocking him unconscious. Then I drug both Nick and the other guy to the office where the victim in all this was waiting. He unlocked the door and let me put the other two inside. Then he came out and locked the door. "Aw, look at that. Three little queers." When he turned around he saw me glaring at him. "What?" "I take offense to that. Gay people have done nothing wrong to you. You shouldn't be so quick to be demeaning." "Whatever," he replied. "Did you call the cops?" "Oh, shoot, no, I didn't." The guy called the cops and I left. Lance and I returned to the house and I stripped off my clothes to wash up before bed. "It was nice having you help me," I said as I washed off my face. "You were a great help. You thought of things I hadn't." "That's what I here for," he replied. "To help you." "Among many other things," I said as I dried off my face. Lance was standing at the door to the bathroom. I went up to him and kissed him. "You are worth so much to me," I said taking his hands and leading him to the bed. "You are my heart and soul. You provide me a quiet place to reflect, an ear to listen, and a soft voice to encourage. I love the way you open your heart and soul through your music. I love your adventurous spirit, seen recently in our trip to Japan. I love your eyes, your smile, and your mind. James Lanston Bass, there is nothing about you I don't love." Lance laid down on the bed on his stomach and I began massaging his shoulders. Slowly, I worked my way down, caressing and kneading the flesh of his back. Lower and lower I went until I got to his perfectly formed butt cheeks. I massaged them as well and continued on down his legs to his feet, where I massaged them as well. "That feels great," Lance replied. "Roll over and I'll get the front." Lance smiled big as he looked at me and slowly rolled over. His cock had become erect in his underwear and I could see the thickness and shape through his red undergarments. "You always look so delicious," I said as I straddled him. My husband smiled at me, placed his hands behind his head, and relaxed as I rubbed my fingers over his scalp, down his neck and to his chest. I kneaded his flesh, massaging and caressing, making my way down his stomach to his hardened cock. I did massage it a bit but kept going down his legs. "If you keep this up, my cock is going to rip my underwear." "We'll have to fix that," I said as I moved up and faced his cock. I rubbed his stomach a bit and pulled the waistband down over his cock exposing the head. Then I pulled them down further. Lance lifted so I could get it over his butt and then pulled them off. His cock lay to one side and looked so welcoming. "Does that feel better?" "Much," he said as he closed his eyes and relaxed. I lay between his spread legs and took the head of his cock into my mouth and proceeded to give him a long, slow blowjob. I heard him gasp several times as I licked at his slit and my tongue entered his head. After ten minutes of this, I stopped. Looking up I saw him smiling at me. "My turn to massage you," he replied. I smiled and took his place lying on my stomach. He straddled me and his hands caressed my shoulders and neck. I felt his cock resting between my ass cheeks and he continued massaging me. His hand covered all of my back, only instead of rubbing my butt through the material, he pulled my underwear down and caressed. I pushed my legs apart and I felt his tongue run over my hole. He lay there and rimmed me for five minutes when his lips and tongue were replaced by a finger, then two. When I was open enough, I felt the head of his cock penetrate me. I opened up to him and he went deep. Soon I felt his hair against my ass and his balls against my own. Lance laid on top of me and nibbled my ear as he slowly fucked me. This went on for a long while, although I'm not sure exactly how long. I didn't pay attention as I was lost in the moment of pleasure. I felt his entire length go deep inside of me, caress the A-spot as that is what men have, and then pull back a short distance. He kept this up for a very long time, although I could tell he was nearing as his breathing became shorter, quicker. Then it happened. His cock erupted inside me and I felt him press as deeply into me as he could. He unloaded himself into me and held me tight, kissing the back of my neck across my shoulders. He pulled himself out of me and turned me over where he sucked on me as slowly as he fucked me. I moved my hands down to run my fingers through his hair when he stopped and made me put them behind my head. I interlocked my fingers and let him suck on me. It wasn't long before I felt my balls tighten up and my cock blast. He kept his mouth over it swallowing all my cum and sucking just as slowly as he did to get me to orgasm. When my cock became too sensitive, he pulled off, and then lay next to me holding me tightly. "You are so wonderful," he said as he ran his fingers over my head. To Be Continued...
