He realized he had been dozing! He found it hard to believe that he could have fallen asleep in their present situation, but then, he was sooo tired.He realized he had been dozing! He found it hard to believe that he could have fallen asleep in their present situation, but then, he was sooo tired. He felt now what had awakened him. Flora was sliding past him. At first he thought that he might be slipping further down into the well, but his feet were already wedged firmly against the bottom of the rubber bag. It occurred to him that Flora was being pulled out. After a long wait Jason too, felt the tug of his body harness, and he slithered his way out of the warm grasp of the latex womb. God, thought Jason as his head and shoulders came free, it's like being born again! After a moment, he felt ground beneath him, his feet coming to rest on a towel. After a little fumbling, the helmet came off his head, and to his surprise, he found that it was Flora removing it. "Flora! How," he started to ask, but Flora had already silenced him with a ferocious kiss. "Yum," he finished, grinning. "That felt wonderful!" Flora exclaimed, "I feel like I could sleep for a hundred years! Here, let me get those cuffs off you." She struggled with the cuffs a moment, both of them still slippery with oil. "Yeah, it was kind of fun, wasn't it?" answered Jason, "but um, WHERE is Mr. Dodds?" "That's the weird part! When I got out, he sat me in that chair, freed my hands, and by the time I thought to take off my helmet, he was gone! He likes doing that, though- he likes to make dramatic entrances and exits. |
