Here's the second part of chapter 2....
XXX
Andy’s call was picked up by the second ring.
“Miranda…” Andy hissed out.
“Andréa? What’s wrong?” Miranda stood up; she had never heard her lover so stressed before.
“I need my choker…” Andy panted out. “Now!” Her control was slipping by the second.
“Choker, alright.” Miranda’s mind was racing a million miles a minute as she headed up to their bedroom. “Where’s Cruella?”
At the mention of their friend’s name, Andréa let out a guttural moan that reminded Miranda of their very first night together.
“Don’t know…choker.” There was silence as the call was cut off.
Miranda uttered a rare profanity then raced the rest of the way to their room. She hit her second speed dial. Thankfully it was answered on the first ring.
“Miranda darling?”
“No time to explain but meet me at your front door.” She called out as she closed her phone. Miranda shot off as she headed back downstairs with the choker in hand. “Jodie I need you to stay with the twins, I’ve got to go out and I don’t know when I’ll be back.”
Jodie nodded her head in confusion as the lady of the house took off through the front door at a speed she had never witnessed before.
Miranda herself was thanking all the deities she knew that she had gone for comfort today as she ran toward Cruella’s temporary abode. It would seem that she would not have any maneuvering to do, the Durian Effect had already happened.
Miranda was extremely fit but her sprint to Cruella’s had her gasping for breath as she rang the doorbell.
As soon as the door swung open, Miranda quickly took in the plum trouser suit that Cruella wore but her gaze was quickly arrested on Cruella’s neck.
Where an intricate choker much like Andréa’s rested. This one though had long, ebony wood beads elaborately carved with a center piece of two entwined large cats. One carved out of black onyx and the other cat’s eye opal. Miranda’s eyebrows shot to her hairline.
Cruella stepped back to allow Miranda in as she said to the other woman. “Durian Effect.”
Cruella closed the door with a snap and quirked a surprised eyebrow at the shorter woman. “How do -“
Miranda held up Andréa’s choker for the other woman to see. Who gasped and her eyes widened at the sight. The large gemstone suddenly began to swirl with three distinct colors: amber, blue and black.
Suddenly there was a soft thud from further down the hall. Miranda looked to the taller woman confused while Cruella lifted her head and scented the air. Her eyes widened alarm written all over her face.
“Shite!”
“Wha -“
“No time, Mira.” Cruella stepped out of her shoes while chanting the familiar silence spell, she carefully grasped Miranda’s arm and pulled her into what looked like a formal living room. There was a bright flash of light as Cruella carelessly tore off her gloves. She began chanting again as she appeared to look around wildly. She maneuvered Miranda to a relatively clear corner of the room.
“Cruella what the devil is -“
The taller woman quickly covered Miranda’s mouth; they could hear another thud over Cruella’s chanting. A globe of amber light engulfed Miranda and flowed out about five feet from her in all directions then faded away.
“Bloody fucking hell!” Cruella took in the sweater, jeans and loafers that Miranda was wearing and nodded her head decisively. “Now is not the time for questions Mira.” Cruella looked into Miranda’s worried eyes. “I’ve bought us a little more time but not much.”
Another thud sounded, followed quickly by a sharp crack.
“I need you to do as I say. One, stay in this bubble. Two, no matter what occurs Andy and I will be fine. Three, keep a hold of her choker no matter what. And when I call get it on her as fast as you can.”
Noting the urgency in Cruella’s voice Miranda glanced down at the floor noticing a distinct amber demarcation. She looked back up at the taller woman. “You’re acting as if Andréa is going to hurt us, she would never do such a thing!”
“Never intentionally, I agree, but with her in full heat like this, all bets are off. Surely you know that, can smell it.” Cruella looked to Miranda’s confused face and proceeded to curse fluently in centaurian.
“Well, I’m aware of what Andréa’s like when she’s going into -“
“Going - into and being full - in are two different beasts as you are about to witness.”
At that moment, there was a shattering out in the hall. Cruella quickly pressed a kiss to Miranda’s lips then placed herself in the middle of the room facing the doorway leading to the hall.
In the blink of an eye Andy was standing in the doorway sniffing the air. Her face lit up when she saw Cruella standing in the middle of the room. “Doenay…” She breathed out.
Andy’s face brightened even more when she spotted Miranda in the corner. “Eshum…” She crooned.
Miranda inhaled deeply and shuddered as a most delicious scent seemed to infuse her entire body. “Dear Goddess what is that smell?” She could feel herself getting wet as she breathed in more of the scent.
“That would be our Andy in heat, Mira.” Cruella said as she braced herself.
As Andy strutted into the room, she murmured exactly what she wanted to do to them in centaurian. Hearing what her lover wanted to do combined with Andréa’s scent caused Miranda’s wetness to increase. She trapped a moan behind her teeth.
Cruella answered back in centaurian causing a flush to spread across all three of their faces.
Andy suddenly pounced Cruella and the struggle for dominance was on.
Miranda could only describe what followed as a rather amorous wrestling match. While it was plain that Cruella was attempting to pin Andréa to get the choker on her, it was just as clear that Andréa was trying to get Cruella naked and under her. Cruella’s strategy appeared to be to dodge those quick grappling hands and get behind the taller woman, while Andréa used any and all means possible to get a hold of Cruella.
Miranda was riveted to the two combatants as their struggle traveled around the room. There were times it appeared as if one or the other had the upper hand, but the other always found a way out. And she swore she was going to be sporting a permanent blush from what was coming out of their mouths. Her panties were a definite casualty. Nor did she think the room was going to be salvageable after this event. The only things still standing in the room were the walls and windows, but even those were questionable.
She also realized that Cruella was purposefully keeping Andréa’s attention focused on her and away from Miranda. The few times Andréa tried for her the bubble kept her away.
Cruella’s clothes were nothing but shreds now and scattered around the room. All she had left on were her lace thong and silk stockings. Of course the primal part of Miranda’s brain had greatly appreciated Andréa’s efforts in removing Cruella’s clothes. And she would not be Miranda if she did not commit those lush curves to memory.
Then suddenly Andréa had Cruella pinned against the wall across from Miranda and she was reaching for Cruella’s choker. Miranda quickly stepped out of the bubble.
“Nadira!” Miranda shouted and with that there was a blinding flash of blue through out the room.
All three women froze and were dazed for a second. Andy stumbled away from Cruella shaking her head trying to clear her eyes. Unfortunately the centaurians recovered first. Andy swung her head about and spied Miranda finally outside the bubble and lunged for her.
“Duck!”
Miranda automatically crouched down and heard the shattering of glass.
