Callum noticed her playing, and it made him thrust faster into Vianelle’s mouth. He groaned and pushed deep, pulling the succubus against him so that his cock slid deep down her throat. His body convulsed with an orgasm that raced up and down his spine. Hot cum spurted into her as she gulped and swallowed the treasure she craved.

He growled to get Jessica’s attention. “Girl! Pay attention now!”

The wizard began the incantation and gestured in the air, causing sparking, shimmering green symbols to appear. They floated and pulsed with barely contained energy as he waited for her to join him in the next phase of the spell.

“I’m ready.” Callum’s hair floated with the power he was struggling to contain. His beard bristled wildly in all directions. “You need to cum now. Now!”

Jessica struggled as she suddenly felt her libido slipping away under the pressure to perform. She rubbed her swollen clit frantically, but the moment was fading. Her wide eyes met his as she stammered, “I… I can’t! It’s not working! I need help… Do something!”

Grumbling, Callum dropped onto the bed on his back and reached for Jessica’s hips. With surprising strength, he lifted her and rolled her onto his face. His tongue thrust into her pussy as he began licking and sucking.

Vianelle shouted, “Hey! You promised you would not do this!”

Jessica gasped and pressed down on his mouth. Grinding her hips in small circles, she felt him licking and sucking her hard clit. A tingling buzz began dancing at the base of her spine.

It wouldn’t be long now…

With an exasperated scream, Vianelle climbed on top of the wizard and grabbed his thick shaft, still slick from her mouth and his cum. Easing down slowly, she slid onto his cock and felt it thrust into her hot depths.

As her round ass bounced on him, Vianelle locked eyes with Jessica and gave her a twisted grin as she slid up and down on Callum. She whimpered and moaned, hungry to be filled with more of his seed.

The moans of the succubus and the sight of her riding the wizard pushed Jessica over the edge. A tingling arc of energy raced up to the base of her skull and exploded. She gasped and threw her head back as the orgasm washed over her body.

Quickly, the wizard slid out from underneath her and began the final incantation, his fingers twisting as he traced complex, sparking symbols in the air in front of Jessica. Her eyelids fluttered as she tried to take it all in and memorize the new spell. Reaching for her, Callum traced a final glowing symbol on her forehead.

The energy of the spell pulled Gwen’s spirit back into the world she had left decades ago. Her glowing blue essence swirled around the small cabin, bouncing off the walls and knocking mugs from the small counter. The energy field flew across the room and slammed into the younger witch, flowing into the fading symbol on Jessica’s forehead as she absorbed the ghostly essence.

With a shuddering gasp, Jessica threw her head back and shrieked with an undulating harmonic tone that made the wizard and succubus slap their hands over their ears with pained expressions on their faces. Then, she fell back onto the bed, panting as she recovered from the shocking invasion.

“Gwen, are you there?” Callum brushed the young witch’s dark hair back from her face. “Jessica, are you okay?”

A giggle bubbled up from her chest. “As if you really cared.” Jessica sat up and looked around the room, but it was Gwen’s voice that emerged from her full lips.

“Here again, I see. And your cleaning skills still haven’t improved in all this time, you old goat.”

Callum grinned and pulled her into a fierce hug. “Oh, Gwen. I’ve missed you so. We only have a few hours, though. I have been teaching the young one some new things.”

She looked down and ran her hands across her full curves. Then, reaching up, she stroked Jessica’s long, curly hair and pulled a strand in front of her face.

“Oh! I always wondered what I would look like with hair like hers.” She closed her eyes, stretched her arms over her head, and smiled. “Mmm, this youthful body feels so good! I had forgotten what this was like.”

Vianelle cleared her throat and moved into view. Jessica/Gwen startled and lurched back.

“What in the hell?! Why is there a demon in your cabin?” Her fingers swirled in the air as she began forming an ancient attack spell.

Callum swiftly snatched her small hands and buried them between his palms. “No! You don’t need to do that! She’s not dangerous. She’s my… friend.”

Wrinkling her brow in confusion, Jessica/Gwen turned to look at him. “Friend? This demon is your friend?”

Vianelle turned to glare at the old wizard. “Friend?! I am not your friend! I am your girlfriend!”

A snort of laughter escaped the young witch’s lips as Jessica’s voice emerged. “Nice job, dumbass. I’m sure your wife just loves meeting your demon girlfriend!”

Now Gwen’s voice echoed in the small room. “What have you done, you old fool? I’m sure you’re lonely, and we all know about your insatiable needs. But, really?” She scanned Vianelle from head to toe, taking in the dark, curving horns and angry tail whipping back and forth behind her nude body. “You summoned a succubus? How pathetic.”

Callum blushed and stuttered a response. “I… I didn’t summon her! Others did, and I had to clean up their fucking mess!”

“Uh-huh. And does this cleaning up require fucking her, too? I can tell that she’s been fed recently. Don’t insult my intelligence, lover boy.”

The old wizard turned away to pull his robe back on and grumbled back at her. “You wouldn’t understand. You left me, and I’m doing the best I can with events you no longer have to worry about, now that you’re gone.”

Jessica/Gwen sat back on the bed with a frown on her face. “I don’t need you to remind me of what I’ve lost.”

He twisted back and narrowed his eyes. “Enough! Jessica, did you get what you needed? You will remember the spells now?”

Jessica nodded as her voice emerged from the shared body. “Yeah, I got it. Thank you. Now what? How long does this last?”

He shrugged and walked away to straighten up the mess on the counter. “It’s not precise. She could be with you for an hour, or it might last as long as an evening. So, I recommend that you stay the night here. It’s not safe in the woods now, anyway. Just find something to do and leave me alone.”

Gwen responded with a short trill of laughter. “Oh, you big baby! Stop pouting. I didn’t ask for this, you know. I was just surprised to find, you know…” She pointed a thumb at the dark succubus. “Her in the room. I’m sure you have your reasons. You always did.”

Callum ignored her and continued cleaning up the mess her untethered spirit had made earlier. Jessica/Gwen stood up and moved behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and laying her head against his broad back.

“Don’t waste our time together, okay? We know how rare this is. I don’t know if you’ll ever see me again. We both know there’s always a chance that I can’t be summoned back to this plane.”

He sighed, and the stiffness melted from his shoulders. Turning around, he pulled her into his arms and whispered, “I know.”

Cautiously, Vianelle approached the couple. “Do not be angry with me, either. I also did not ask to be brought into this world. You should know that.”

Jessica/Gwen turned her head to look back at the succubus, and Gwen said, “So, tell me more about your world. I knew of your kind, but you are the first one I have actually met.”

Jessica made an exasperated sound. “Oh, man… I’ve already heard her story. Please don’t make me listen to this again!”

Vianelle ignored her, dashed to the bed, and dropped onto it with a happy bounce. She patted the spot next to her. “Come, sit! I have so much to tell you.”

Callum rolled his eyes as the two began chattering excitedly. Pulling some ingredients from a nearby shelf, he began assembling the makings of a stew. Despite being charged by the recent sexual gymnastics, the complex spell had drained him, and he suddenly felt ravenous.

It was going to be a long night. Gwen may have been irritated at being pulled into this world and discovering his new roommate, but he knew she shared his unique hunger. It wouldn’t be long before she asked him to join them on that bed.

A warm stew would be just the thing to fuel him for another wild ride or two before he lost her again. This time, he knew it might be forever.

What Jessica failed to mention was the twist in her bargain with the private investigator. He had only agreed to be possessed by William if she agreed to be possessed by Michael’s dead fiancée. But there was no need to share this with the old wizard. She knew he would refuse to teach her if he found out about that detail.

Callum laughed. “Are you insane? Do you know how complicated a spell like that is? How critical the timing is? No wonder you fucked it up, child.”

There it was. The infantilization. Wow, they had almost made it an entire 20 minutes before it happened this time.

“Will you help me or not? There are others I can turn to if you refuse. But I don’t trust them like I trust you. You and I have…” She gestured vaguely, searching for the right word. “History.”

He smirked. “History. Is that what you call it?”

Vianelle had been listening, but could no longer keep quiet. “You have nothing! You use him. That is all! You only come crawling back here when you need something.”

Jessica gave the old wizard a twisted grin. “Wow, she’s a fierce little protector, isn’t she? Is that why you keep her around? To feel like someone still cares about you?”

“Oh, fuck off, Jessica. She’s not wrong, though. Right? It’s not like we have some special relationship beyond these rare instructional sessions.”

The young witch was silent, breathing hard and trying to stay calm. He didn’t need to know how complicated her feelings for him were. She had never been the same since the weeks she had lived here when the excess energy from their shared spell had transformed him into a young man again. Of course, it didn’t last. Spells like that never do. And she couldn’t have stayed with him forever, right? She had an actual career, a job at the university, and a life in the city.

However, she still couldn’t forget how that moment in time with him had felt. It had been… different. He had been different. But now, with the succubus in the picture, the wizard returning to his normal age, and his typical shitty behavior, the feelings she had for him were fading fast.

Calmly and quietly, she responded, “I’m going to find a way to do it, whether or not you help me. It’s too important to give up. So, either you help me now, or I’m leaving.”

“Oh, stop pouting. I’ll teach you the spell. I just don’t want you getting in over your head and getting hurt, that’s all. But, it will be Michael’s neck if this goes sideways, right?”

She met his gaze directly. “Right. Michael. And he’s done it before, so…”

“Well then, let’s get started. I’ll need to power the spell in the usual way.” He winked at her, but she frowned at him. “And the vessel will need to be powered to receive the spirit as well. I’ll summon Gwen, like last time. But you need to make yourself ready to receive her. Do you understand?”

Jessica hesitated, wrinkling her forehead in confusion. She pointed her thumb at the succubus. “Why me? Why can’t you use her as the vessel? I’m trying to learn this, not become a plaything for you and your dead wife.”

The wizard glared at her with exasperation. “I know you’re young, but you really aren’t this stupid, are you? A demon can’t hold a human spirit. For fuck’s sake…”

“Hey!” Vianelle whipped her black tail across his arm. “Do not call me that! Ever!”

Callum grimaced and rubbed the welt. “Dammit! Stop being so sensitive.” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before turning back to Jessica. “Yes or no? This won’t work without your assistance. Gwen can only join with you. You already know her! Don’t you trust her?”

The young witch gave him a smoldering look and hissed between her clenched teeth. “Finnnne! Yes, I’ll do it. But I’m not fucking you, even if she wants to later. Got it?”

He shrugged. “Suit yourself. But you will need to orgasm to provide the energy for the invocation and binding. She won’t be able to flow into you without that step. So, if you’re not letting me help you with that, you’re on your own.”

“As if you could help me with that, old man. Don’t worry. I can take care of myself.”

He grinned at her. “I seem to remember I was able to help you with that many times over when you stayed with me that week. Or were you faking it?”

She looked away from him. “Faking.”

The wizard chuckled. “Uh, huh. Okay. Let’s go with that story.” He moved closer and took her by the arm to guide her to his small bed against the wall of the cabin. “I need to, umm… You know. You’re not going to be weird about it, are you?”

She sat down on the bed and waved her hand at him. “Do what you gotta do. I really don’t care.”

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “If you’d rather help me with it, I can return the favor. I’m just saying, the offer still stands. Last chance.”

Vianelle rushed over to block her from Callum. “No, witch! He is mine now. I will help him, not you.”

Jessica laughed. “Oh, he’s all yours, dark one. I have no interest in helping him. Trust me.” She looked up at the wizard, then at his workbench across the room. “What about the wires and the collection jar? Don’t we need them again? Not that I really feel like being shackled with her nearby.”

He shook his head. “We don’t need it. You are more powerful now than you were that day. You should be able to manage the spells and hold the energy inside yourself, no? Or have you not mastered that?”

She felt a brief twinge of pride, which was quickly replaced by irritation. “Of course I have! I just wasn’t sure what this required.”

With an amused expression, he nodded at her, then turned to retrieve a little blue bottle on the shelf above his workbench. Bringing it back, he held it in front of her. “Remember this?”

He slid the stopper out and brought it closer. She sniffed and smiled. “Mm-hmm. I do.” The scent triggered a memory, and she felt an erotic twitch between her legs. Damn him… Her mind was instantly transported back to that moment in time. Her on top of him. Him on top of her and behind her. Playing and laughing every day in the cozy cabin. Young Callum had been everything she had ever dreamed of until he… wasn’t.

He rubbed a few drops between his palms and offered her the bottle. “I think it will help bring back your memory of the summoning and focus our thoughts.”

Jessica poured some of the oil into her hands and massaged it into her arms and neck. The warmth of it made her body tingle, and the smell made her quiver. Yes, it brought back memories of the summoning, but it also seemed to focus her thoughts on how it felt when the wizard was thrusting into her. Over and over again… Vianelle sensed her mood shift and frowned.

The succubus moved between them, pushed Callum back onto the bed, and opened his robe. Jessica made a face as she noticed he was already aroused. Vianelle reached for his thick cock and began to stroke him slowly. Kneeling between his legs, she leaned forward and took the swollen head into her hot mouth. She whimpered and moaned as she sucked him harder, letting his cock slide down her throat. Her insatiable hunger and desire to feed on his cum made her lick, gulp, and swallow with wild abandon. Callum moaned and pulled her head down hard to push his cock deeper into her greedy mouth.

Despite her initial disgust, the sloppy wet sounds of the blowjob were making Jessica squirm. She felt herself growing wet and pulsing between her legs. She lay back and lifted her hips so she could slide her leggings down and touch herself…

It should be safe by now, right? They wouldn’t dare attack her in the daylight, would they? Besides, she was certain—well, almost certain—that he had survived and forced them to leave the forest. There was only one way to find out.

She stared through the side windows at the dark trees pressing close against her car. Everything looked… normal. Gripping the steering wheel to gather her strength, she got out before she could change her mind.

Jessica pulled her old daypack from the rear seat and shouldered it with a deep sigh. She pushed her car door shut with a soft click and found the start of the path tucked between two ancient pine trees. With one last glance to make sure no one had followed her down the remote logging road, she pressed forward between the branches that clutched at her long, curly hair.

Back into the forest she went, seeking the hidden trail that led to the wizard’s cabin deep in these dark woods. It was essential that she reached it before nightfall. This was not the sort of wilderness you wanted to be wandering through once the sun went down. The memory of that experience made her shiver a little as she hiked down the leaf-covered path under a dense canopy.

As usual, thinking about the wizard reignited a confusing mix of feelings. Irritation, mostly. But a hint of excitement threaded its way through her thoughts as well. Reluctantly, she had decided that she needed his help again.

Her attempts to reconnect with William had failed. Something was wrong with the new spell, and she couldn’t quite figure out what was sabotaging her efforts. So, it was time for another lesson from the cranky old bastard.

Jessica hoped he would notice that she had advanced a great deal since her visit with him last year. Her powers had grown considerably. Well, at least it felt that way to her. However, she was certain he would still try to infantilize her and insult her abilities. A scowl clouded her pretty face as she remembered his barking laughter.

It was midafternoon by the time she reached the protective barrier that shielded his cabin from prying eyes and unwelcome visitors. The last time she had encountered it, she’d been trapped within the clinging energy for so long that she almost suffocated. But she was no longer that frightened and inexperienced witch. With a murmur and a flick of her fingers, she easily pierced the magical bubble with a sizzling pop that echoed in the small clearing.

“Ouch! What the fuck?!” An angry shout echoed from within the old cabin revealed by her spell.

The front door slammed open, and a tall man stomped onto the rickety porch with his white beard bristling. A swirling cloud of sparking energy danced around his upright fist. The hostile hum of his swelling power made her teeth vibrate painfully.

“Stop, you old fool! It’s me!”

He peered in her direction and grumbled. “Oh, it’s you.” Dropping his arm, he let the energy flow back into his body with a quivering shake. “Why are you bothering me again? And how dare you penetrate my veil like that! That fucking hurt!”

Jessica smirked and chuckled. “Felt that, did you? I’ve learned a few tricks recently.”

Grudgingly, he gave her a slow nod. “I see that, girl. Not bad. Not bad at all. But if you are an all-powerful witch now, what do you need with me? Begone!”

He turned to go back inside his dark cabin, but halted when she shouted her response. “Wait! I need your help. Something has gone wrong. I’m blocked, and I can’t seem to push through it.”

His shoulders fell with a tired sigh. “So? That is not my concern. You chose to return to that… world. Deal with it yourself.”

She shook her head. “No, I need you.” Then, her tone became more playful. “I’m willing to pay the price like last time. Be angry with me if you like, but I know you always want that.”

Callum snorted over his shoulder. “Oh, you think so, do you? Fine, come in. But I think you’ll find that I don’t want—or need—that anymore.”

Jessica rolled her eyes, but followed him onto the porch and into the small cabin, shutting the door behind her. It took a few seconds for her eyes to adjust to the dimly lit interior. Despite being rough, she had to admit it was cozy and not all of her memories of this place were bad. He kept it surprisingly clean, and she could smell something pleasant simmering on the simple stove.

Then, movement across the room attracted her attention. A petite woman with dark, shimmering skin moved into the lamplight, revealing her nude form. Well, not exactly a “woman.” The liquid black eyes of a succubus scanned her from head to toe. The demon frowned as she recognized Jessica. Her tail suddenly stiffened and rose into the air from behind her back. The tip whipped back and forth, reflecting her irritation.

Jessica shook her head. “Seriously? Why are you still here? I thought you would have returned to your world by now.”

Vianelle hissed at her. “Of course I am still here, fickle witch! The wizard is mine now. He wants to be with me, not you! You left him, but I never will.” Gliding across the room, she slipped under his arm and snuggled up against the old man’s side.

Callum squinted down at her and snorted. “Actually, you did leave me. Maybe you forgot about that.”

The pretty succubus scowled up at him. “Maybe you forgot how poorly you treated me, you ungrateful oaf. I left for only one night. I am back now. Forever!”

Jessica sighed and gestured at the gleaming black tips of the demon’s horns peeking through her ebony hair. “You dirty old pervert. Are you enjoying your little plaything?”

Callum closed his eyes and ignored the question, but Vianelle smirked and piped up happily. “We enjoy each other greatly, jealous witch. I give him more pleasure than you ever could, and he feeds me well and so very often.”

“Yuck. Keep that to yourself. You two are certainly made for each other. Maybe you should get married? What a beautiful wedding that would be.”

The wizard bristled and shouted, “Enough! Why are you here again? What in the hell do you want from me this time?”

Jessica looked up at the ceiling and drew in calming breaths. Closing her eyes, she whispered, “William. It’s about William.”

Callum’s face softened. “Oh. Well, then… what about him? What’s the problem?”

“I’m still investigating his murder. Michael is working with what we have, but it’s not enough. I have been trying to summon William again, but the spell keeps failing. I can’t figure out why.”

“I’m not sure how I can help you with that beyond what I've already taught you. You should know what you’re doing. If it’s not working, it’s not working! Magic isn’t an exact science. You know that, girl.”

Jessica gritted her teeth. “Yes, I know that. I’m not here to discuss the summoning spell. I want your help with something… new. Something different.”

The wizard frowned. “Spit it out then! I don’t have time for your vague nonsense. What in the hell have you been trying to do?”

“Okay, just listen. Don’t judge me until you hear the full story. Michael told me about a weird experience he had when he was much younger. Apparently, he went to an abandoned house with some friends for a party, and he was…” She hesitated, fearing his reaction. “Possessed or something. He claims he willingly welcomed a spirit to join with him, and it shared his body for a few hours. It wasn’t permanent! It didn’t harm him at all.”

Callum stared at her quietly for a few seconds before responding in a low voice. “Are you asking what I think you are? Do you know how dangerous that is?”

She nodded. “Yes, I have a pretty good idea. But William isn’t some hostile entity! I’ve been researching what I can find about it, but nothing I’ve explored seems to work. Michael is willing to try, since he’s experienced it before. If we can draw William out, and he can use Michael to speak with us, we can learn more about what happened that night!”

She was starving.

It had been days since she had last fed in Callum’s cabin. Initially, she was angry that he had trapped her. However, much to her surprise, he treated her well and fed her often, thanks to a little of her seductive encouragement. Beneath his gruff exterior, she discovered he was actually one of the fe…

He woke the next morning to bright sunlight streaming through the dusty bedroom window. Getting up and peering outside, he saw the storm clouds had cleared, leaving behind a brilliant blue sky. The sparkling snow all around the building almost blinded him with its reflected intensity.

After dressing and draping his coat over one arm, he walked down the hall to the staircase. No one appeared to be around.

He descended to the first floor and explored the classrooms, which were filled with warm sunlight beaming through windows. But they were all empty. What the hell was going on?

He shouted, "Hey! Is anyone there?" His voice echoed down the dark hallway as he waited for a response that never came. It was so strangely quiet.

He continued searching until he reached the library again. But it was empty, too. The fireplace was cold, with a bed of gray ashes. The stack of books on the table looked untouched.

Walking back to the main entrance, he pulled on his coat to step outside. He waded through the deep snow, peering into the dark windows of the other buildings. Pulling on various door handles, he found everything locked. Where were they? Where did everyone go?

As he stood there and slowly turned to face each building, a four-wheel-drive police vehicle churned through the thick drifts in the main driveway and crawled to a stop nearby. A sheriff got out and started walking toward him.

“Well! I'm glad to see you’re okay! I found a car off the road a mile back, but no one was in it. So, I thought maybe the driver had found his way to some shelter. Looks like you did!”

The professor blinked and stared at him for a second before stammering a response. “Y-yes. Thank you. I’ve been safe here. But, it’s so strange! When I woke up today, everyone was missing. I’ve looked everywhere, but I can’t find the dean or any of the students!”

The sheriff frowned at him. “What are you talking about? There shouldn’t be anyone else here.”

The professor's brow wrinkled with confusion. “Huh? What do you mean? Of course there are other people here! They’ve been here the entire time! I met them when I found my way here yesterday. I even taught a class to some students! I’m telling you, this building was full, but now I can’t find them. Any of them!”

The sheriff narrowed his eyes and scanned him from head to toe. “I think we need to get you to a hospital. I’m pretty sure you got a concussion when your car slid off the road. This college has been abandoned for years. There have been no faculty or students here in a very long time. Not since…” He stopped and looked away at the buildings.

“Since what?”

The sheriff took a deep breath and looked back at him. “Since the killings. You never heard about that? Dozens of people died. It happened during a blizzard just like this one. We never figured out who did it. But that was it for the school. They closed down, and it’s been empty ever since.”

William stared at him, breathing quietly for a few minutes with his breath pluming into the freezing air. He turned back toward the building behind him, staring and hoping for some sign that he wasn’t losing his mind. Then, his shoulders slumped with resignation. He turned back to the sheriff with a confused expression on his face.

“Well, I’m telling you they were here! I talked with them. We spent time together. She… she was real! We… we…” His words fumbled to a halt, and he stopped speaking.

“You what? Who in the hell are you talking about?”

William closed his eyes and let a slow, steaming breath out. “You have to believe me. Come with me. Help me find them!”

The sheriff’s face hardened. “You’re being ridiculous. There’s no one here. Trust me. Let’s go.” He turned back to the vehicle.

“Wait, please! Won’t you at least take a look inside? What if I’m right? Maybe they aren’t supposed to be here, but they are. Please, just look inside with me!”

The sheriff hesitated, then twisted back toward him. “Fine, Mr.… whoever you are. If we take a look for a few minutes, will you leave with me after that? I’m getting tired of this game.”

“It’s no game, I swear.” William walked toward the building, then turned back to the man. “Umm… quick question. You wouldn’t happen to have anything to eat, would you? I’m starving. I can’t remember the last time I had something to eat.”

Rolling his eyes, the sheriff returned to his vehicle, rummaged around in the front seat, and came back. He handed William a granola bar. “Here. You can have this. It’s all I have.”

Grateful, the professor tore open the wrapper and devoured the bar as they walked back to the entrance. Stuffing the wrapper into his pocket, he reached for the door handle.

The sheriff blocked him with his hand. “Wait. Let me go first, just in case. This door should be locked, anyway.”

He turned the handle and pushed. The large door swung back into the building. “Well, shit. At least you weren’t lying about this. I don’t understand. This place should be locked up. Looks like someone has been tampering with things. Get behind me.”

They entered the dim hallway and started exploring the rooms. It was the same as before. Completely silent. No one around. The only sounds in the building were their echoing footsteps and breathing.

They continued down the long hallway until they reached the library. The sheriff slid a flashlight from his belt and bounced the beam off the wooden bookshelves and into the dim corners of the large room. Nothing. Making their way over to the fireplace, he glanced inside.

“Did you make a fire in here last night?”

“I didn’t, but someone did. It was already burning when I came into the room.”

The sheriff glanced at him. “Uh-huh. One of the mystery people must have gotten it going, right?”

William’s face clouded. “I’m not crazy. People were here yesterday. Maybe they slipped away this morning and hid when they saw you pulling up. I don’t know, and I don’t know why. But they aren’t a figment of my imagination.”

Sighing, the sheriff turned away and walked back toward the hall. “Fine, let’s look around upstairs and see if there are any signs of squatters. That does happen sometimes back in these woods if people leave their cabins unattended for too long.”

The professor shook his head. “They sure as hell didn’t look like squatters to me. But I agree. Let’s check upstairs. I only looked in a few of the rooms up on the second floor.”

The men made their way to the second floor and checked every room. Then, finding the stairs to the third floor, they explored those rooms as well. This floor was even dustier than the other one. The rooms looked as if they had been undisturbed for a very long time.

“Happy now?”

William clenched his jaw, but nodded. “Yeah. Thank you. I don’t get it. I really don’t. There were students here yesterday. They must have taken off.”

“Fine, let’s go with that story. But now it’s time to go. Agreed?” The sheriff didn’t wait for his answer as he walked down the stairs to make his way back outside.

“I’ll come back later to chain these doors up. This place shouldn’t be open. I don’t know why they don’t just tear it all down. No one will ever come back here again.”

They walked toward the vehicle, and William moved to the passenger side to get in. He slid into the seat, buckled up, and gave the building one last hopeful look. However, only the dark, empty windows met his gaze.

Silently, the abandoned buildings watched as they drove away into the distance and disappeared behind the thick, snow-laden trees. A lone figure in a high window raised a hand to the cold glass, then slowly faded back into the darkness behind her.

After the students left the classroom, he turned to the board and erased it clean. He draped his coat over one arm and wandered down the dusky hallways. Strangely, all the classrooms he discovered were empty. No students to be found. No other professors. Perhaps they had quit early for the day because of the storm.

Eventually, he found his way to a large kitchen. It was empty, too. He rummaged through the cabinets and found mostly cans and a few boxes here and there. Fully stocked kitchen, huh? Right… Opening a box of crackers, he stuffed a few in his mouth before spitting them back out again into his hand. Stale. Sighing, he tossed the box into a nearby trash can before walking back out into the hallway.

Turning this way and that, he explored the rest of the floor and found the massive library the dean had mentioned. Well, at least he had been truthful about this perk. A warm fire glowed in a large fireplace at one end of the room. Two leather armchairs were arranged in front of it, with a stack of books on a small table between them.

William walked across the room, tossed his coat across one chair, and sat in the other. A weary sigh escaped his lips as the fire warmed him. Looking at the table, he plucked a book from the top of the pile and peered at the title.

Hemingway. Well, well. It looked like he had made an impression on someone. At least they were bothering to read the book now. He flipped through the pages and inhaled the delightful scent of the old paper. Mmmm, nothing quite like it.

A wave of fatigue hit him, causing his eyelids to droop suddenly. The soft crackle of the burning logs and the firelight dancing gently across the bookshelves lulled him to sleep. His heavy head dropped, and it startled him back awake. The stress of the day had sapped his energy. Time to find that bedroom the dean had mentioned. Funny… he hadn’t told him where to find it. Or him, for that matter.

He grabbed his coat and left the library. Wandering back down the hall, he found stairs leading up to the next floor. He assumed he would find the sleeping quarters somewhere up there or on the third floor. The light was growing dim, so he found it challenging to explore the rooms. The power must still be out. That damn snowstorm…

Knocking on the first door, he waited a second and opened it carefully. He poked his head inside and found the room empty. A small bed was tucked up against the wall and neatly made with a thick blanket on top. The room seemed unoccupied, since there were no belongings on the tiny desk or clothing in the closet. Well, this would do.

He hung up his coat and got undressed. Placing his clothing over the wooden chair, he crossed the room and slid under the blankets. It was a little chilly at first, but he soon warmed up. His eyelids fluttered, and his breathing slowed and deepened. Soon, he drifted off to sleep.

He dozed fitfully, tossing and turning. Heart racing and breath panting. Wild and unfamiliar dreams raced through his mind. In them, he prowled the halls of the building, desperately trying to find the other professors. The dean. Any of the students. But he was alone in the echoing halls and dark rooms.

Panicked, his dreaming self found its way to the warm safety of the library. It was just as it had been earlier. The armchairs were arranged in front of the glowing fireplace. Warm. Safe. Familiar. He walked over and sank into one seat. Leaning back, he draped his arm over his eyes and tried to calm down.

Suddenly, he felt a tentative touch on his legs, which startled him. Pushing back into the soft chair, he tried to escape, but saw who it was and relaxed. The young woman from his earlier class knelt on the floor in front of him, her hands resting on his thighs.

Placing a finger against her full lips, she whispered, “Shhh, it’s okay. You’re safe here with me.”

He started to respond, but she smiled and shook her head. Reaching for his belt, she unbuckled it, unzipped his pants, and hooked her fingertips into his underwear so she could slide them down his thighs. His cock pulsed with hot blood and sprang into the air in front of her.

He blocked her with his outstretched hands. “You can’t… Ummm, we can’t do this. You’re a student! You’re too young.”

She laughed. “I’m not as young as you think. Don’t worry, I’m old enough for this. And no one else has to know about it. It will be our secret, okay?”

His confused, sleeping mind accepted her explanation, but was most likely influenced by the throbbing head of his cock and the swelling shaft she started slowly stroking. She looked into his eyes as she pulled it forward to place the head against her cool lips. The tiny tip of her tongue circled him and traced the length of his shaft, before returning to the head and slowly taking him into her mouth. Licking and tasting him, she leaned down to take his girth into her mouth as his achingly hard cock slid down her throat.

He groaned and arched his back with pleasure. It was so wrong, but he couldn’t stop now. He wanted her to suck him harder. Thrusting his hips into the air, he pumped his cock into her mouth as she slurped and sucked with hunger.

Soon, a tingling pressure wave began rising and pulsing deep inside him. Ripples of ecstasy tingled across his warm skin. Breathing harder, he panted, "I'm… going to… cum!"

She plunged downward and engulfed the full length of his rock-hard cock. Gulping him deep into her throat, she swallowed as her tongue lapped underneath the thick shaft. With a growling moan, his cock erupted and warm spurts of cum pulsed down her throat and flooded up into her eager mouth. He continued lifting his hips and thrusting into her throat as the final throbs faded.

The shock of the intense orgasm awakened him, and he blinked with confusion in the darkness of the unfamiliar room. What a crazy dream! It had felt so real.

However, the pressure on his legs was still there. He also felt sticky cum drizzling down the shaft of his cock and a hand gently stroking and squeezing him to milk the last drops free from the swollen head.

"What the fuck?!?"

William pushed himself up and away and grabbed for the sheets to cover himself. A tiny giggle emanated from the darkness at the foot.

"Did you enjoy that? I sure did. I wanted to do that to you as soon as I saw you."

The student from the classroom… He recognized her voice.

"We can't do this! You shouldn't be here! You're a student. This is inappropriate!"

"No one will ever find out. And I doubt anyone would care. We do whatever we want here. There are no rules anymore.” She tilted her head and paused before asking, “Didn't you enjoy it? Didn't my mouth feel good?"

He let out an exasperated sigh. "Ummm, yes. It was incredible. But that's not the point. I just can't do this. And you shouldn't be here. I'm not familiar with the rules here, but they are very strict at my college. I could lose my job!"

She was silent for a moment. Then, her soft, sad words reached his ears as she slipped off the bed and turned away. "Your choice, of course. But you could stay here with us. Teach us. And our rules are different. You could have my mouth every night. You could have all of me. Forever. I'd be so good for you."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I hear you. And this was… amazing. But can we talk about this tomorrow? I think we both need some time to clear our heads and think more rationally."

He felt her slipping away across the room. "Tomorrow. Or never. You'll make your choice and have to live with that for the rest of your life. I shouldn't have expected you to choose me. Your kind never does. Go back to sleep, Professor. Try to forget me."

She was gone. Now that the pleasure had faded, only guilt remained. It wasn't like he had initiated this encounter. He hadn’t even been awake! But she was a student, and they would still hold him responsible for it.

However, William already regretted how he had managed the encounter. His reaction clearly hurt her, and he could have handled it better. He wished things could be different. She had to understand that! But it was impossible.

Well, he would try to explain it to her again tomorrow, once he had a clear head and could find better words. Pulling the blankets up under his chin, he turned onto his side and tried to fall asleep again.

But it took a very long time…

“We’re in a dead zone here, Professor Jacobson. You’ll have to be patient.”

The younger man glared at his phone in frustration, holding it up and turning in a circle as fat snowflakes melted on his upturned face. Finally, loudly exhaling, he pushed the phone back into his pocket.

“How long?”

The dean wrinkled his brow. “How long what?”

“How long will it be until I can get my car towed out of that ditch? When will someone come by here? When will the phone lines be repaired?”

The older man shrugged. “It depends. We never know. This storm is pretty bad, though. It could be several days, or maybe even weeks. That’s happened before.”

Squeezing his eyes shut, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Great. So, what am I supposed to do until then?”

“There are worse places to be trapped. We’ll give you a nice room with a comfy bed. Our kitchen is fully stocked. The library has thousands of excellent books, a cozy fire, and lovely armchairs. And you get to do what you do best!”

Dr. Jacobson grunted. “What’s that?”

“Teach, of course! We’re always hungry for fresh blood. I think you’ll find that our students will welcome a professor a bit closer to their generation. They complain eternally that the rest of us are woefully out of touch.”

William lowered his head in resignation. “Yes, that I can do. It will keep me occupied, at least. Okay, I’ll teach. When? Where?”

Dean Jackson beamed at him through a bushy white beard. “Wonderful! The students will be thrilled! No time like the present. Let me show you to a classroom so you can settle in. I’ll round up some students and bring them to meet you within the hour!”

Left alone in the classroom, William slid his heavy coat off and hung it on a hook near the doorway. The room was smaller than he was used to lecturing in on other campuses, but it made it seem cozier with the soft glow from the windows. The blizzard was still blustering outside, so he turned his attention to the front of the room. A blackboard. Wow, this campus was definitely old-school. He found a small piece of chalk and wrote his name with a few notes underneath it on the board.

A slight sound from behind made him turn toward the doorway. Quietly, the college students filed into the room. They seemed intrigued by his presence. Curious eyes watched him as they moved across the room and took their seats. This had to be the most polite class he had taught in years… maybe ever!

“Well, as I’m sure the dean explained, my car got stuck out on the road in this weather. So, apparently, I’m your new professor here until I can be rescued! Lucky me. And lucky you. Let’s make the best of it, okay?”

They responded with shy smiles. A few heads nodded silently. William shrugged and continued.

“I’m Professor Jacobson, and I teach literature at Western Hills College in Coldwater. Heard of it?”

Blank stares answered his question. He chuckled. “Well, I’m not surprised. It’s not exactly a top destination for young students like yourselves. But, then again, it doesn’t look like this place is, either. I never even knew it existed! You are certainly tucked away back here.”

No response. Okay, fine…

“Well, let’s get started. How many of you have read ‘Big Two-Hearted River’ by Hemingway?”

Half of the class raised their hands tentatively. What a shy bunch!

“Okay, well. Let’s work with what we have. I have a question for you. Why do you think Hemingway’s language in this story was so simplistic? I’m sure you noticed the short sentences and simple descriptions of mundane activities. Why did he do that?”

He scanned the room, looking for a spark of interest. Most of the students simply observed him, seeming to watch his every move as he paced back and forth at the front of the room. Finally, a young man raised his hand.

“Yes? You.” William pointed in his direction.

“Because he was an old human losing his mind?”

That got a response. A few of the other students laughed, but most were silent.

The professor rolled his eyes. “Yes, he was ancient like me. That must be it. Anyone else?”

A young woman in the back raised her hand. “It made sense to me. He was recovering from the horrors of war. Focusing on simple, good things kept his mind happy and busy. He was doing everything he could to keep the terrible memories from surfacing. I understand that.”

William grinned at her. “Very good! Exactly. Hemingway had experienced war himself at a young age. Only 19! So, he knew what it was like to return to the normal world to heal after it was over. He was trying to portray the tight leash the young man was keeping on his mind. By focusing on the experiences of the simple moments of daily life, he kept the demons at bay.”

The pretty girl returned his grin with a shy smile and a nod. Well, at least one of these students showed some promise. He continued his lecture for the rest of the hour, stealing glances at his new prize pupil now and again.

But not the usual despair

The hint of autumn winds

Rustling fragile red leaves

Knowing they will soon fall

Crunching beneath our feet

As we wander dim paths

And feel delightful shivers

With unseen eyes watching

From abandoned houses

And forgotten graves

Callum handed Jessica a pair of silver bracelets he’d crafted on his workbench in the cozy cabin. She’d been visiting him more often lately and staying longer each time. He wasn’t great company, but she wanted to speed up her magical education, and he was the only one she trusted to help her.

She twisted one in her hands, peering at the symbols he’d stamped into the metal. “What’s the point of these again?”

He scowled at her before returning his focus to the workbench. “The veil is thinning. First, Vianelle. Now, all sorts of Fae are returning to our world. They’re not all friendly.”

Jessica frowned. “Then why not use cold iron instead of silver? I thought iron hurt them more.”

Surprised, he asked, “You really don’t know?”

Jessica frowned at Callum. “What? What don’t I know?”

He grumbled, “I can’t believe how uneducated you are sometimes. Professor, my ass.”

“You are the most insufferable man I know! Just tell me, for fuck’s sake!”

“Yes, you foolish girl. Cold iron would be an excellent ward against the Fae. But if you wore it, you’d weaken your magical abilities.” He shook his head. “How have you survived this long?”

Blushing, she responded, “Oh, no one ever explained that to me.”

He sighed, returned his attention to the workbench, and continued stamping another silver bracelet with the arcane symbols. She watched him impatiently, wishing to ask more questions but knowing he would snap at her in annoyance.

Finally, he finished the work and slid a bracelet onto his left wrist. Without a word, he gestured she should do the same and turned to retrieve a large pot from a nearby shelf.

“Would you hand me that bowl of dried agaric?” Callum motioned vaguely toward his small countertop.

Jessica squinted at him. “Dried what? What in the hell is agaric?”

“You are the most useless witch I’ve ever known. The mushrooms!”

She walked over and brought the bowl back. “How will this help with the Fae? Are we crafting a repelling potion?”

“What?! No, nothing of the sort.” He reached for the herbs drying in a nearby window. “Soup.”

“Soup? Are you serious?”

“Yes, soup! We need to eat. Don’t want you to lose those luscious curves of yours.” He grinned at her.

Jessica glared back. “Keep your comments about my curves to yourself. And while you’re at it, keep your ancient eyes off my curves, too. Old and withered mean men aren’t my type.”

Callum rolled his eyes and continued making the soup. Despite her anger, she had to admit that it smelled pretty good. Her stomach growled. Okay, maybe she’d stick around long enough to enjoy a bowl before leaving…

Jessica finished her soup and pushed back from the table. “Okay, that’s enough fun for the day. As much as I love your amazing company and scintillating conversation, I’m going to head back to the city and sleep in my own bed tonight.”

Callum frowned. “The sun is setting. Are you sure taking the forest trail this late is safe?”

Jessica laughed. “I’ll be fine, old man. Powerful witch, remember?”

He rolled his eyes. “Uh-huh. So powerful.”

She stepped outside onto his tiny porch and peered into the trees. A dense fog was quickly rolling in, blanketing the forest in darkness. The evening sky roiled with ominous, inky clouds.

Callum grabbed her arm, pulling her back. “Come inside. That’s not normal fog.”

“What do you mean?”

“I recognize it. That’s Fae magic.”

Suddenly, an eerie warbling whistle emanated from the black forest. Another whistle answered it on the other side of Callum’s cabin, and then another, and another.

“Get back inside. Quick!”

Callum pulled Jessica into his cabin and slammed the door shut. He dropped an iron bar across the frame to lock it tight. Hustling around the room, he closed the curtains on the windows and fed more wood into the fireplace. The flames blazed higher and lit the small cabin with a warm glow.

He grabbed Jessica’s hand. “Work with me. We need to cast a strong ward—now!”

Callum held her hand as he drew symbols in the air while speaking incantations to generate a ward around the cabin. Energy lifted her hair, and she quickly matched his rhythm to add her voice to the words while mirroring his symbols. Her fingers tingled as magical energy flowed from her body to feed the spell.

A pulsing wave of power expanded outward to seal the tiny dwelling from entry by the Fae. The whistling had stopped, but they could hear the patter of little footsteps pacing in the fog—thick as pea soup around the cabin—mixed with thudding footfalls from something quite large.

An angry hiss emanated near the front porch as something encountered the ward. Then, a low, rumbling growl echoed through one window. It almost sounded like a tiger, but this was an entirely different breed of predator that had never hunted these woods before.

Jessica gave Callum a questioning look, but he motioned for her to stay calm. Quietly, he walked across the room to stand closer to the door and listen.

A whispering, sibilant voice came from just beyond the magical barrier. “Wizard, why are you so unfriendly? We simply wish to speak with you about a matter of mutual interest.”

“Speak, then. I can hear you.”

“May we not enter?”

Callum chuckled drily. “Never.”

“Suit yourself, wizard. We’ll be waiting.” The whispering voice faded as it moved farther away.

Jessica raised her eyebrows. “Okay, now what?”

“Now, we wait for morning. Once the forest is sunny, they will retreat deeper into the shadows. You can leave tomorrow.”

“Grrrrrreat. How am I supposed to fall asleep tonight with the stress of them being out there?”

Callum wiggled his bushy eyebrows and leered at her. “Oh, I have a few ideas for how to tire you out.”

“Seriously? You’re a graybeard again. No thanks!”

He untied his robe, letting it slip to the floor. “Gray? Maybe. But my body is still quite young…”
