Chapter Eleven:

Tess paced up and down in the kitchen. She'd rung Dean's cell and just got the voicemail, 'Herman Munster leave a message!'

She sighed and waited for the beep, 'Dean I know you're busy and I'm sorry to call you when you're working. Please call me back! Love you!'

She hung up. Her brow furrowed as she looked at Nick sitting on the sofa flicking through the channels. Going to the fridge she grabbed two beers from the door. Normally she rarely drank them but tonight she thought she'd have one whilst she waited for Dean to get back in touch.

'Ok you need to tell me anything else?' she asked as she passed him a beer. He cracked the cap on his beer and waited for her to sit down.

'Like what?' His big eyes stared back innocently.

'How you got into all this?' He nodded.

'I guess I owe you that much.' He took a deep breath, 'Well I was travelling across Europe and I took a detour and ended up in this Bulgarian bar off the map. Well I sat down and just people watched really.'

His face looked a little lost while he described the scene, 'I was going through a bad patch and travelling was allowing me to at least try and deal with some demons you know?' What he meant was personal demons not actual demons.

She nodded in agreement. Nick had been through it with jobs and owing money to people so he'd taken a trip meaning he'd missed everything important like her son's birth and her wedding but she wasn't bothered with that now so she waited as he took a long draught from his beer, 'I brought another drink when I saw her staring at me. Her big brown eyes just were indescribable how they are so I don't know mesmerising.'

He smiled. 'She walked over and introduced herself her name is Elena and God she's beautiful.' He grinned again and his eyes went faraway briefly, 'The thing that puzzled her was why I was wearing a protective charm pendant because she guessed right there and then I wasn't a hunter.'

He held the silver chain up with the charm dangling on the end of it she watched as it revolved and glittered in the glow of the lights. 'I didn't know what she meant and I explained innocently that my sister gave it to me. She laughed and said that either my sister was a hunter or she knew one.'

Tess had brought him a charm for a birthday present and posted it to an address in San Francisco just before he took off on another trip to Europe.

Even though she was mad at him back then she never forget getting him an card and present. The pendant had appealed to her because she hoped he was safe where ever he went in the world.

His face smirked at her surprised expression. 'Yeah I thought wow these people are crazy. The next few days she opened my eyes in more ways than one. I knew all about what Dean did before I even really knew that he was a hunter. She told me I would be better at the selling of the charms and things I mean I do have a natural salesman attitude.'

They laughed. Nick had always been good at charming people to get money from them, 'She's amazing Tess. I've asked her to come over I've even wired money through for her flight. She should be here in the next few days. '

He looked at her. His expression was one she had never seen on her brother's face. He was totally serious and within his eyes she saw an expression she had often seen with Dean's eyes. He was utterly besotted with this woman. She smiled at him as he took a long drink of his beer.

'Wow you really love her?' He nodded once, 'What did she show you? I mean it must have been deep for you to believe it.'

placing the beer bottle on the coffee table he chewed his lip before he answered, 'Tess what did Dean tell you? He just told you the truth right?'

She nodded at the memory of him holding her tight whilst she lay there listening to him, 'Well she just looked into my eyes and told me what she did and I believed her.'

He opened his wallet and pulled out a photograph of a stunning brunette woman. Her big brown eyes stared into the camera with a strange hypnotic glance that would easily mesmerize and stun any man close enough to see it. Her smile was warm and friendly Tess instantly saw all the reasons why Nick had fallen for her.

'Wow she's beautiful Nick.' He smiled with obvious pride as she passed him the picture back.

'I've never been so sure of anything but I am about this Tess.' He pressed the picture back into his wallet and stared at her. Nick had always been an utter screw up when it came to choosing women but he'd changed since then. She could see it in the way he spoke and the way he looked.

Everything about him had altered and it was all because of him being in love with an obviously amazing woman.

Pulling him into her arms she whispered, 'Well then you go get it. We'll sort all this mess out don't worry.' She hugged him tightly as she stared at the picture of the woman with the mesmerising eyes.

They had taken "Sandy" to a disused warehouse. Sam had helped Dean to tie her to a post in the centre of the room. She'd been groggy whilst they set up the final part of the spell to send her soul to hell. Sam had to go to a gas station to get some more petrol. Dean waited pacing around the room.

'Dean you really need to relax you do look tense.' She smirked again. 'I can really help you out with that if you just loosen these.'

She wriggled in the bonds surrounding her. Her tight blouse suddenly popped a button as she wriggled making her smile as she pressed her breasts tighter against the bonds.

'Did I ask you to speak bitch?' She smiled.

'Wow Dean even though that word is bad from those pretty lips of yours it's still a major turn on.' She licked her lips. 'You know I bet Tess loves it when you talk dirty to her.' His head flicked back towards hers.

'What the hell would you know about what my wife would like?' Her face took on a mischievous look.

'Well obviously I don't but I can guess that's what she's like. Well or rather what's she not good at doing. She only takes she doesn't give.' He laughed.

'Right. You really are a bitch you don't know my wife.'

'Yeah well I know when women have children they don't always keep up their end of the bargain in the bedroom department.'

She laughed. 'Why do you think a lot of the guys I meet are all so happy for an hour or two of pure unadulterated pleasure? I give more than I get trust me.'

He walked towards her, 'You know you are some piece of work. You just assume as I have you wrapped up in ropes and I'm actually turned on by this?'

She smiled, 'You aren't? You will be.' He looked at her deep into her eyes. The brown colour seemed to swirl and merge into another until all he saw was a red colour. He suddenly found his body desiring her. Her body filtered into his vision.

His hands stretched out towards the ropes around her wrists. He felt them fall to the ground and then her cool fingers pull his mouth towards hers. He felt her tongue gently part his lips and he found himself responding hungrily. Her hand slowly lowered to his fly and she unzipped it slowly.

Pressing her hand against his shaft she rubbed her hand slowly up and down eliciting a long moan from him. Her lips found his one more time before she spoke, 'Thanks honey! Don't worry I'll be a good girl but don't hesitate baby if you need me.' Suddenly the world went black.

Dean's phone had buzzed as he dried his hands on the hand towel. His head throbbed violently. He'd checked his head but he'd only got a slight bruise that was becoming larger each moment.

Checking it he saw he three missed calls all from Tess. 'Crap!' Hitting the voicemail redial he waited. Listening to her short message he rang her back.

'Baby you both ok?' He instantly thought something had happened to either her or John her voicemail had sounded panicked.

'Everything is fine. It's just that my brother Nick has turned up with some interesting problem. I need you to get back quick we have a problem.'

'Well that's oddly comforting. What kind of problem scale we talking about?' He looked at his face in the mirror he looked worried although he knew that Tess was safe and so was J. His mind was still thinking about all that had happened before.

'Well put it this way if we don't find a way to destroy this almost atomic piece of curse crap then we are all in more trouble than an A-bomb.'

He whistled through his teeth, 'Well I guess if Nick gave me more details then I'll get Sam to search. Don't worry the case is over so we'll be right back.'

Tess sighed, 'I can't wait to see you. I missed you more than ever.' He could almost see her standing their clutching her sides as if she was holding herself together.

'I miss you too but I'll be home soon. Love you.' His body shook with guilt as he imagined her standing there waiting for him. He remembered what happened all too clearly. Sam had looked concerned more about Dean's face rather than the disappearing succubus.

'Sam we've gotta go home.' Sam stared at him.

'What about our hunt?' Dean slammed his phone down on the table.

'We are going back… just forget her. She'll be picked up by others.' Sam realised Dean was still pissed about letting her go so the least said about her hitting him the better.

'Ok well let's get going.' He watched as his brother picked up the canvas bag and head for the exit. Sighing he followed.
