Chapter 34 Inner Beauty

	I sized up the demon as quickly as I could.  It was definitely a
big one.  And I didn't want it to overpower me.  It could easily do that
with its size and muscles.  The young man kept his distance as the demon
made its way closer.  I reached into my pouch and pulled a bat out.  The
wings on the device extended and I threw it at the demon.
	"Here's some sweat for you," I said as it caught the bat.
	The bat exploded blowing off the creature's hand.  It cried out in
pain and then leered at me.  I smiled underneath my mask and jumped forward
swinging my legs up and connecting with its chest.  The demon stumbled
backwards.  I swung my leg up and connected with its head causing it to
stumble into the wall.
	I saw a strip of glass between the pool and the lobby.  'Maybe that
glass is normal glass,' I thought.  I motioned for the young man to meet me
over by the window.  He complied.
	The demon grabbed my shoulder.  I reached up with my other hand,
grasped its wrist and spun underneath its arm causing it some pain.  Then I
kicked it in the stomach and flipped it over into the water.  Without
hesitation I turned and ran toward the glass.  I grabbed the young man,
spun around so my back was to the glass and kicked off the floor sending
myself back-first into the glass.  It shattered as we entered the lobby and
landed on the floor.
	The two personal trainers came rushing out of offices where they
had been watching the events unfold on the closed-circuit monitors.  The
young man rolled off me and backed up against the doors.  I stood up and
readied myself for a battle.
	"That thing will eat you," I said.  "Your co-worker brought it here
for selfish reasons.  Why are you protecting him?"
	The trainers looked from one to the other.
	"Where is Nick?" I said.
	They looked around and he was gone.  He had obviously headed up to
the workout space.
	"Get to your offices and lock the doors.  Take him with you."  I
motioned to the young man.  "I'll get the Carnyss to follow me.  Once it's
passed here, get out and take this man to a hospital."
	"Like hell," one trainer said to me as he tackled me.  "Nick made
sure it wouldn't kill us."
	"How do you suppose he did that?" I said as I clasped my hands
together and brought them down on the man's back.  "Did he tell the demon
not to eat the dumb ones?"
	"Ah, you piece of shit!"  The trainer squeezed tighter.
	The other trainer grabbed the young man and tossed him into the
pool area for the Carnyss demon to eat.  I wasn't about to let that happen.
	I noticed a metal stand holding a sign displaying their hours of
operation.  The stand was to my right.  I reached over and grabbed it.
With what little room I had to maneuver, I swung it at the guy holding me
and hit him in the back.  He screamed out in pain and released me.  As he
sat up, I swung my leg out and connected with his chest knocking him off me
and onto his back.
	I didn't have time to grab the other guy.  There was a helpless man
that needed saving from a muscle and sweat eating demon.  I stood and ran
into the pool area.  The young man swam to the other side of the pool away
from the Carnyss.
	"Hey!" I said getting the demon's attention.
	The Carnyss turned and I saw its hand had grown back.  The demon's
physiology allowed it to repair itself.  'This complicates things,' I
thought.
	The demon swung at me and I ducked rolling on the floor and into
the pool.  Unfortunately it was the deep end.  I kicked as hard as I could
to get to the rope.  I reached the rope quickly, thankfully, and pulled
myself to the other side of the pool where I was met by a pair of feet and
a hand.  I looked up and saw the guy Nick attempted to feed to the Carnyss
reaching out to help me.  I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up.
	"Thanks," I said.
	"Thank you," he replied.
	"You seem confident.  What happened?"
	"Nick gave me a fucking pill to make me a scared sissy.  It didn't
last long though."
	"I guess he wanted you compliant so you wouldn't fight the demon."
	"Is that what that is?" he asked.
	"You were thinking it was someone from California?"  The guy looked
at me quickly giving me a look of annoyance.  "Sorry if that offended you.
I mean, how often do you see an overgrown, hairless creature that eats
muscle and looks like..."
	Realization donned on me.  What if this creature were made
completely out of muscle?  If it were completely made out of muscle, then
its weaknesses could very well be those things which hurt muscles.
	"Does the store in here carry caffeine pills?"
	"No.  Do you know what that stuff does to muscles when you work
out?"
	"Yes.  That's why I asked.  I need you to go to the gas station
right around the corner and buy as much coffee as you can.  Make sure its
regular."
	"Yeah, right.  What can I buy the coffee with?  I don't have
pockets handy."
	I thought of several things I could have said, most of which would
have been inappropriate.  Plus, this guy didn't give off the queer vibe so
he wouldn't have appreciated my comments.
	"I'll get the demon to follow me into the locker room.  A trainer
is knocked out in the lobby.  Get his clothes and take some of his money
and get the coffee."
	The guy nodded and I ran to the other side of the pool where the
demon was trying to figure out a way to get to us.  When it saw me, it
followed.  I ran into the locker room to the other side and watched as the
Carnyss came in.
	I chased me around the lockers with me narrowly missing its
clutches.  After several minutes of this, I headed back to the pool area
and slammed the door shut locking it.  I headed to the lobby where the guy
was coming with several large cups of coffee.
	"Thanks," I replied grabbing them from him and running back into
the pool area.
	"Uh, you're welcome!" he said.
	"Lock that guy in one of the offices," I called as I headed toward
the locker room doors.  "We don't want him getting away."  I unlocked the
door and stepped back.
	The Carnyss had bee pounding on the door trying to break it down.
Because I unlocked it, it swung open and the creature stumbled out.  Before
it realized it, I was tossing coffee on its body covering it with the hot
liquid.  It jerked in pain from the heat.  One splash landed in its eyes
and it couldn't see.  Then, as it stumbled around, its foot found the edge
of the pool and it fell in.  The creature thrashed around exerting more
energy.  And, like all muscles when caffeine has been absorbed into the
blood stream, the creature's body contracted and absorbed the water, making
its movements stiff.
	"That's bought me some time," I said to no one in particular.
	I ran through the glass and found the guy in an office with the
unconscious trainer.  He opened the door when he saw me.
	"Stay down and turn the lights off.  Right now it can't do much of
anything, but I think it will recover and attempt to feed."
	"Why can't I leave?"
	"I figured you would want to press charges against these guys for
your humbling experience.  But if you don't, fine.  Go."
	I didn't have time to wait for him.  I had to find Nick.  I ran
down the corridor and up the stairs.  "Nick!" I called out.  "The Carnyss
is right behind me!  Come out while you still can!"
	"Fuck no!" he yelled.
	I couldn't get a lock on him.  His voice echoed throughout the
upstairs.  I entered and headed toward the machines as the Carnyss demon
came up the stairs.  I turned to move further away and tripped causing a
loud clunking sound.  It was enough for the demon to locate me.
	I rushed through the machinery and found myself in the free-weights
area.  I turned to see Nick heading toward the stairs.  The demon saw him
and turned toward him.  I grabbed a nearby 45 pound weight and lifted it.
I ran to where I had a clear shot and yelled.  Both the demon and Nick
turned to me.  I hurled the weight like I did a bat.  It spun in the air
and hit the demon in the head.  Because it absorbed so much water and
became so stiff, the impact caused its head to explode.  As the body fell
backwards, it hit Nick and he slipped over the railing.
	I ran up and saw him as he dropped to the floor below me.  I
stepped onto the railing and jumped opening my cape to safely lower me.  I
landed and was hit by Nick and his friend simultaneously.  I fell into the
glass doors.  The trainer came over and grabbed me, turning me so Nick
could punch me in the face.
	"Why the hell are you here?"
	"Investigating the missing customers.  Why did you do it?  Are you
avenging the torment you went through in high school?"
	"Shut up," he said as he punched me again.
	"That's it...isn't it?  You seek vengeance on those who made fun
of you.  Because you were skinny and scrawny?"
	The trainer laughed.  "Nick skinny and scrawny?  No fucking way!"
	Nick turned and glared at him.  Then he punched the trainer who
stumbled into the steps.  "Nobody laughs at me," Nick said.  "Nobody."
	"You're not alone," I said.  "I was picked on for being overweight
in school.  Do you know what I did?"
	Nick shook his head.
	"I got over it.  Kids get teased.  It's horrible that it happens,
but it does.  Children need to be taught to appreciate the inside, kindness
and compassion.  You didn't have anyone do that for you.  I'm sorry for
that, but teasing happens.  You're a grown man now.  You can decide whether
you let your past haunt you or not."
	Nick took a swing at me and I ducked bringing my fist up to meet
his stomach.  Evidently he was going to let his past haunt him.  He swung
his arm around and hit me in the head sending me into the wall.  I turned
around in time as his fist came for my face.  I ducked and heard the impact
of bone to concrete.  Several of his knuckles broke with the impact.  As he
turned around I spun around and kicked him in the face, dropping him to the
floor.
	I turned and saw the personal trainer running down the hallway.  I
pulled out a bat and hurled it at him, knocking him unconscious.  Then I
drug both Nick and the other guy to the office where the victim in all this
was waiting.  He unlocked the door and let me put the other two inside.
Then he came out and locked the door.
	"Aw, look at that.  Three little queers."  When he turned around he
saw me glaring at him.  "What?"
	"I take offense to that.  Gay people have done nothing wrong to
you.  You shouldn't be so quick to be demeaning."
	"Whatever," he replied.
	"Did you call the cops?"
	"Oh, shoot, no, I didn't."
	The guy called the cops and I left.

	Lance and I returned to the house and I stripped off my clothes to
wash up before bed.  "It was nice having you help me," I said as I washed
off my face.  "You were a great help.  You thought of things I hadn't."
	"That's what I here for," he replied.  "To help you."
	"Among many other things," I said as I dried off my face.
	Lance was standing at the door to the bathroom. I went up to him
and kissed him.  "You are worth so much to me," I said taking his hands and
leading him to the bed.  "You are my heart and soul.  You provide me a
quiet place to reflect, an ear to listen, and a soft voice to encourage.  I
love the way you open your heart and soul through your music.  I love your
adventurous spirit, seen recently in our trip to Japan.  I love your eyes,
your smile, and your mind.  James Lanston Bass, there is nothing about you
I don't love."
	Lance laid down on the bed on his stomach and I began massaging his
shoulders.  Slowly, I worked my way down, caressing and kneading the flesh
of his back.  Lower and lower I went until I got to his perfectly formed
butt cheeks.  I massaged them as well and continued on down his legs to his
feet, where I massaged them as well.
	"That feels great," Lance replied.
	"Roll over and I'll get the front."
	Lance smiled big as he looked at me and slowly rolled over.  His
cock had become erect in his underwear and I could see the thickness and
shape through his red undergarments.
	"You always look so delicious," I said as I straddled him.
	My husband smiled at me, placed his hands behind his head, and
relaxed as I rubbed my fingers over his scalp, down his neck and to his
chest.  I kneaded his flesh, massaging and caressing, making my way down
his stomach to his hardened cock.  I did massage it a bit but kept going
down his legs.
	"If you keep this up, my cock is going to rip my underwear."
	"We'll have to fix that," I said as I moved up and faced his cock.
	I rubbed his stomach a bit and pulled the waistband down over his
cock exposing the head.  Then I pulled them down further.  Lance lifted so
I could get it over his butt and then pulled them off.  His cock lay to one
side and looked so welcoming.
	"Does that feel better?"
	"Much," he said as he closed his eyes and relaxed.
	I lay between his spread legs and took the head of his cock into my
mouth and proceeded to give him a long, slow blowjob.  I heard him gasp
several times as I licked at his slit and my tongue entered his head.
	After ten minutes of this, I stopped.  Looking up I saw him smiling
at me.
	"My turn to massage you," he replied.
	I smiled and took his place lying on my stomach.  He straddled me
and his hands caressed my shoulders and neck.  I felt his cock resting
between my ass cheeks and he continued massaging me.  His hand covered all
of my back, only instead of rubbing my butt through the material, he pulled
my underwear down and caressed.  I pushed my legs apart and I felt his
tongue run over my hole.  He lay there and rimmed me for five minutes when
his lips and tongue were replaced by a finger, then two.  When I was open
enough, I felt the head of his cock penetrate me.  I opened up to him and
he went deep.  Soon I felt his hair against my ass and his balls against my
own.
	Lance laid on top of me and nibbled my ear as he slowly fucked me.
This went on for a long while, although I'm not sure exactly how long.  I
didn't pay attention as I was lost in the moment of pleasure.  I felt his
entire length go deep inside of me, caress the A-spot as that is what men
have, and then pull back a short distance.  He kept this up for a very long
time, although I could tell he was nearing as his breathing became shorter,
quicker.
	Then it happened.  His cock erupted inside me and I felt him press
as deeply into me as he could.  He unloaded himself into me and held me
tight, kissing the back of my neck across my shoulders.
	He pulled himself out of me and turned me over where he sucked on
me as slowly as he fucked me.  I moved my hands down to run my fingers
through his hair when he stopped and made me put them behind my head.  I
interlocked my fingers and let him suck on me.  It wasn't long before I
felt my balls tighten up and my cock blast.  He kept his mouth over it
swallowing all my cum and sucking just as slowly as he did to get me to
orgasm.  When my cock became too sensitive, he pulled off, and then lay
next to me holding me tightly.
	"You are so wonderful," he said as he ran his fingers over my head.
