When did zombies become pretty? That's not even sarcasm on my part of asking, I would genuinely like to know. I know Supernatural didn't start it. I just have to wonder.

Chapter 18: Angela

Sam isn't sure if Angela was a good idea to approach, but admittedly he finds it hard to resist. Her large eyes are beautiful and watery in a way that's utterly intoxicating. She'd been given a raw deal, ending up in Hell after she died, and he wants to make it better for her. She didn't ask to be turned into a zombie, and the magic had turned her into a killer.

She'd had just enough control of herself to have not done it though, but had made her choice to get her revenge. Just enough control to condemn her. That was usually how it worked though.

So she's pretty and he feels sorry for her. He'll sleep with someone for less, so what could it hurt to try and seduce her?

Apparently Angela has not yet gotten over her jealousy, and despite making himself clear that she was not the only one in his harem and that she was allowed to say no to sleeping with him at all if she wanted, it doesn't seem to quite click in her mind he's not just his. She's all too happy for the attention, clings to him at night and kisses him with a needy hunger. She's durable and bendy, and he can really let loose on her indestructible body, but she always pouts when she needs to leave in the morning.

When she waits around the corner of his bedroom to try to strangle Dar, he knows he needs to do something about this. He told himself firmly he'd been nothing but honest, and it's her fault if she can't play by the rules, but when she cries out at him in anger that she's not going to be used again by a man who doesn't really care about her he finds it a lot harder to punish her.

Not impossible, just harder. He's not going to allow anyone to harm any of his partners, not even one of the others in his harem. Dar is a saleswoman, doesn't have much interest in torture, so she's not interested in putting the zombie on a rack herself even though she's the one who was attacked. Demon or not, she can be a bit nervous, and a zombie coming at you can be a bit freaky no matter what your primordial status in the universe is. Besides, with her body the torture would have to be pretty extreme for her to feel it, and he doesn't feel her actions warrants that. So he locks Angela in solitary confinement for a few days, knowing the experience will remind her of her coffin and that'll be enough, while he thinks about how to fix the situation.

It's Jessica who offers him a solution, willing to share their night if it will help Angela feel better. Jessica is the light in this horrible place, kind and sweet, and happy to share if that will help him. He wonders if she cares much about helping the zombie or just wants to make it easier on Sam. Either way, he feel grateful.

When Angela is let out, she's confused by the sight of both of them in the bedroom, but she doesn't resist when she's pulled to the bed and cuddled against and kissed. Sam and Jessica prefer more rough nights, desperate for each other, carnal and craving, but just once it can be different for this night.

Jessica assures Angela she's cared for and cherished, that she can be loved if she wants that, but she'll never be the only one. She whispers to the zombie Sam needs affection just as bad as she does, breathes promises of devotion between Angela's thighs with a tongue that is deft and smooth in both words and action.

Sam isn't sure how he feels about his emotional needs talked so casually about it, but the sight sort of distracts him, along with a needy tongue of the zombie between his own thighs. He figures in this case, he can let it slide.

End of Chapter 18

Jessica always has good ideas, and she seems the kind who'd be down for a threesome.
