The love of a devil

Nicole stared up at him agape.

"What did you say?" she panted.

"I asked when you had your last AIDS test."

The way he said that was simple and innocent. She could not even be angry with him. Pulling herself together again she smirked.

"And when I had my last rabies shot will be your next question, huh? You won't get off that easy," she said. "Now plant that sweet ass of yours in that bed, and we can start planning our family."

With that she managed to floor him. His mouth open he stared at her incredulously. So it was not difficult for her to push him onto the bed. He offered no resistance. Before he could do as much as protest, she sat on one of his thighs, throwing her right arm around his neck. With her free hand she started to tease his chest.

"Nicole..."

"No, Bobby. You agreed with the deal. Now you have to keep your part of it."

He choked. Yes, he had said that he would go through with her plan, even without Carolyn's assistance, but actually his reaction would have been the same if she would have been out of marble... she triggered absolutely nothing.

"I'm sure you'll relax better if you're lying down," Nicole purred. Her hand trailed down his chest and over his stomach. Gently she pushed him backwards until he lay on his back.

Oh, shit! he thought. What now? Even as he tried to let go of the tension, he could not. His aversion against Nicole was too intense. He could not make his body react to her.

At least that was what he thought right at that moment. But a few seconds later he felt a few muscles twitch when her tickling, exploring fingers found one of his secret places. The pull their touch started came totally unexpected for him. He gasped.

Her smirk hovered over him. Once more she tickled his side and made him gasp again. That made her chuckle.

"Surprised that you're only human? Your mind's not the master over this marvelous body."

When she bent down to kiss him on the mouth he turned his head away, so that she smacked it on his cheek instead. Anger welled up in her. Sitting up abruptly she slapped him across the face.

"That's for defying me," she spat when he looked up at her incredulously.

Grasping his chin she held him in position when she bowed forward to kiss him again. Bobby choked. Her lips on his own were soft, but at the same time hard and demanding. He felt her push her tongue against his mouth, seeking entrance, but he refused.

"Bobby!" she nagged. With one swift move she lifted herself onto the bed, straddling him.

Bobby could have thrown up, but he choked it down. Not because Nicole's weight pressed on his stomach, but because of her sheer presence.

"C'mon," she whispered seductively. Then she tried once more to push her tongue into his mouth. This time Bobby obeyed.

The feeling of her moving tongue made him sick. Tense he lay beneath her slim form and let it happen. To save a life... three lives... God! Let it be over soon!

And so far she was just kissing him! When she let go of him she sat up. Her full breasts were directly in his line of sight.

"Bobby," she scolded. "You gotta participate, too."

NO! he cried out inwardly. NO! I don't!

Her hands brushed over his body. Sooner or later it would just react to her touches, but right now his mind was still fighting. Pretending that she was someone else? No, he could not do that. He tried, but only seconds later he felt as if he was betraying the woman he just thought of.

Just think of nothing, he ordered himself. Ignore that it's her. Imagine someone totally else.

Well, that did not work, either. Nicole also sensed that her teasing just did as much but could not make him relax enough to fulfill her need.

She sat up, pouting.

"Bobby... you're expected to do more than that."

"Well, you just said that my mind's not master over my body..." he murmured.

Nicole frowned. Once more she bowed over him. Her hand slid down beside the bed to pick something up. Then she brought her hand up to let her fingers run through his hair.

Hmmm, I didn't want to use that, but if you can't... you can't. With that she jammed the needle in his neck.

Bobby did not really notice that she injected him. He was too distracted by her caresses.

"You won't defy me again, will you?" she purred as she snuggled up to him.

"Nicole?" he gasped, trying to sit up. "Why…"

"Sh…" With her left hand on his chest she pressed him back down on the bed.

Bobby did not know what it was, but he sure as hell felt the effect of the drug not much later. He did not feel dizzy, but when Nicole started to caress him again, his body reacted much more willingly to her advances.

Before he even knew what happened his world was lost in a swirling fog of colors.

"Okay, time to go," Ross said to Deakins, determined.

"Is the chopper ready?"

Ross nodded and led the way out, Deakins and Falacci in his wake.

In the snow chaos it took them unusually long to reach the heliport. From there the chopper took them across the bay to Coney Island where they hopped out on the beach. Searchlights flickered over the park along the shoreline and finally it found a car. Directed by the pilot the two captains found it quickly.

His heart pounding in his chest, Deakins reached for the doorhandle. The car was deserted.

Dammit! he thought. If they'll survive their latest adventure with Ms. Wallace I'll kill them.

Through the passenger's door Ross dove into the car to see if the detectives had left anything behind.

"See something interesting?" Deakins asked, putting his head in through the open door. "What's that?"

From below the seat he pulled out a small metal box. When he opened it he found the Astroland popcorn bag.

"So it really is the amusement park," Deakins said. "Let's go!"

"Jim, I know you're worried for your former detectives, but I'm captain now," Ross stopped him short.

Over his shoulder Deakins looked back at the captain. "So what?"

Ross got out his cell phone, called dispatch and asked for a SWAT team as support. Then he turned to Deakins again.

"Let's go!"
