Dreams and Monsters

Derek Taylor was happier than he’d been in a long time. Not only had he had sex with the girl he’d had a crush on for two years, she’d wanted it. Had loved it. She’d even belittled and fooled her own boyfriend over the phone while his cock pistoned in and out of her tight pussy. She’d even called him daddy, which sounded so sexy coming out of the mouth of such a willful girl. He wanted to hear her say it again as he fucked her, her eyes looking up at him submissively.

His cock twitched.

It was so much more than he’d ever dreamed he’d accomplish so early.

After they’d had sex and she and Wally had ended their call, they’d cuddled on his bed. Artemis was naked just like him. Her beautiful brown eyes looked up at him. Shame and affection warred within them, but for the first time it seemed that the latter was on the winning side.

“That was pretty awesome, huh?” he asked.

Artemis glared at him, but it had no heat to it. Her dusky skin was smooth and warm. They’d cleaned up in the shower together, and he’d used his powers to stimulate and comfort her while they did. They’d ended up having sex again in his personal shower, her thick muscular thighs wrapped around his waist as he fucked her against the shower wall.

“It was alright,” the blonde said, her head resting on his chest. Her hair cascaded freely down her shoulders and back. “I still don’t… I have no idea what came over me when I was on the phone with Wally. I’ve never done anything like that before.”

Her eyes stared into his.

What are you looking for, Artemis?

He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. Her eyes widened.

“What was that for?” she asked.

He covered her with an illusory warmth. She’d feel as if she were wrapped in a cozy blanket near a fire while a blizzard raged outside.

“Nothing. You’re just pretty I guess,” he said.

Artemis blushed. She shifted slightly, moving up to rest her head in the crook of his neck. Her perky breasts pressed comfortably against his chest.

“I hope we can do this again sometime.”

Artemis licked her lips.

“Derek, I don’t know. I really shouldn’t have come here. I… I cheated on my boyfriend. Fuck, I made him jerk off while you fucked me. How did I end up doing that? And… why don’t I feel bad about it?” she said.

He kissed her on the head.

She hummed appreciatively.

“At least stay the night. We can talk about everything tomorrow,” Derek said.

There was a long pause, and for a moment Derek thought she might try to leave. Then she sighed and kissed his neck.

“Fine. I already texted my mom and told her that I’d probably be staying the night at a friend’s house.”

Derek chuckled and gave her ass a light smack. He kept his hand on her nice bubble butt and started massaging her assflesh.

“So you were expecting something like this would happen when we got to my house? Artemis, you’re such a bad girl.”

Artemis growled, but did nothing about his hand. Her brown eyes glared at him again.

“It’s your fault. If you weren’t so fucking pushy all the time, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to you. Now shut up and go to sleep.”

He gave her ass another squeeze.

“Good night, Artemis.”

She snuggled closer to him, seemingly comfortable with his hand massaging her ass.

“‘Night, Derek.”

They laid there silent for a long while. Eventually, Artemis’ breathing slowed as sleep claimed her. She’d rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her right arm over his chest. There was a near-possessiveness to it that Derek really liked.

I wonder if she’d break up with Wally if I asked her. I don’t think it’ll take much if I can have her over for another night like this. I wonder if I should stop Mom from seeing her? She could tell Artemis doesn’t come from money, and definitely wouldn’t approve of us together. But I don’t give a shit what she thinks anymore.

He smiled, and was about to fall asleep himself when an idea inched its way into his mind.

Derek turned his attention to Artemis, but used his powers instead. There was a low bit of feedback, like a ping of sonar that only he could hear.

She’s still being affected by my abilities even while she’s asleep? How?

Derek stared at her and concentrated. He imagined a scenario where Artemis would be running through a forest, an unseen hunter chasing her.

The blonde whimpered, but there was a frown on her face and a fierceness in the way she clung to him, her nails digging into his chest. He ended the scenario and replaced it with one of Artemis eating dinner with him, the whole affair illuminated only by romantic candlelight.

Artemis hummed appreciatively in her sleep, relaxing against him.

“I can influence her dreams,” he whispered. His heart quickened in his chest. He almost didn’t believe it. If he could control what Artemis dreamed about, he could make all of her dreams revolve around him.

Derek played with her ass as she slept and wondered what sort of scenario he should imagine for her next. He wondered if she’d even remember her dreams or if they’d somehow influence her behavior in the waking world.

Harleen might know. I guess I can ask her about dreams during our session tomorrow and see what she says. Hm. So what sort of dream should I create for you, Artemis? Harleen always said that dreams of struggle and conflict were usually the most memorable. Maybe I’ll start there.

A wicked idea formed in his mind. Smiling, he recreated the first scenario where Artemis was being chased by an unseen menace that she couldn’t fight.

---

Artemis Crock grimaced as she nearly tripped on a fallen branch. It was night, almost pitch black. She was naked, but that somehow didn’t seem as great a concern as the fact that her bow and arrows were gone.

Dammit, how am I gonna beat that thing? I wish Conner or M'gann were here.

She looked back into the forest. Her pursuer was only visible via its glowing red eyes. They glimmered with malevolent intelligence as they focused on her. The monster let out a bestial growl and started running towards her. Tree branches snapped and fallen logs were easily kicked out of its path as it approached her.

She ran, trying not to focus on the way her ass and tits jiggled nakedly. Surprisingly, running along the bare forest floor wasn’t bothering her feet. Sure, she’d trained extensively for situations like this – well, not exactly like this – but it was like she wasn’t uncomfortable at all.

The monster took a swipe at her, missing narrowly.

“Shit!” she yelped, diving to the side. She took off in a run again. The creature howled and pursued her, but it seemed slightly further away. The brush thickened in front of her, branches and leaves scraping against her skin. But she kept going. She was a fighter. A few scrapes and bruises were nothing in the face of ****.

Something caught her foot and she tripped, tumbling forward. She fell on something soft. It moved.

“Ow, that hurt!” a familiar voice said.

“Wally?” stared at her boyfriend. He wore a red t-shirt and a pair of denim pants. His green eyes roved hungrily over her nude form.

“Artemis? Wow, you look hot.”

Artemis only barely resisted slapping him.

“Wally, this isn’t the time! There’s a monster chasing me and it’ll kill us both if we don’t get out of here!”

Wally smirked.

“Oh, come on. If you wanted to get me further into the forest so we could have sex, all you had to do was say so!”

This time she did slap him.

“Let’s go!” she grabbed his arm, ignoring his protests as she began running. The monster howled.

Dammit. It found us. Why couldn’t Wally keep his mouth shut?

Her boyfriend squealed like a frightened girl. God, why had she ever found him attractive enough to date?

“Holy shit, what is that thing?”

He ran to keep up with her, but stumbled often and nearly made the both of them fall. Why wasn’t he using his super speed?

“Don’t know, just run!” she panted, vaulting over a fallen tree. Her feet met the cool grass again, completely unharmed as she continued to run. She spotted something in the distance. A cliffside with a small indent in the rock. It looked large enough for a few people to fit inside.

The monster bellowed. It seemed farther away than it had ever been. She felt relief wash over her. She looked back at her boyfriend only to find his green eyes trailing up and down her body as she ran. The perverted idiot probably enjoyed watching her ass jiggle and sway. She swallowed the indignation that rumbled in the back of her throat. It was fine; she’d deal with him later.

“There, Wally! See that cliff! We’re gonna go hide in the cave over there.”

“Uh. What?” he replied stupidly.

“Ugh. Just follow me!” she led him over to the cave she’d spotted earlier. It was larger than she’d estimated earlier, wide and tall enough to fit a pickup truck.

Hopefully whatever the hell that thing is won’t find us there.

They stumbled into the cave. The stone surface felt cool against her feet. It was darker in the cave, but she glimpsed a flickering orange light further down.

“Artemis, are you sure this is a good place to hide? It’s pretty creepy in here,” her boyfriend hugged his chest. “And cold, too. You think you can make me a fire?”

Why is he being such a baby? We’ve been through far worse than this. Then again he always complained, even on our stealth missions.

She shushed him with a finger over her mouth and gestured to the light beyond.

Wally swallowed his nervousness and nodded. They trudged through the darkness of the cave, and it seemed to grow darker and darker until the cave widened out into a rocky chamber.

A pile of burning wood sat in the center, but what really drew her attention was the figure tending the fire.

“Derek?” she called.

The dark-haired boy was naked from the waist up, and her eyes drank in the sight of his chiseled torso. The fire sent waves of light licking at his skin. His hand fell to a sword sheathed at his waist.

“Artemis?” his bright blue eyes stared intensely into her browns. Her pussy pulsed and she bit her lip to prevent herself from grinning at him like a schoolgirl with a crush.

“You know this weirdo?” Wally stepped ahead of her. She glared at her boyfriend. “Hey man, there was this monster chasing us in the forest, so I hope it’s cool if we use your little hide-out here while we wait it out.”

The red-haired boy grabbed a piece of cut fish from a plate near Derek and took a full bite, chewing loudly.

Derek stared at Wally for a moment before gazing at Artemis. She swallowed thickly.

Please, Derek. Please don’t send us away.

“It’s fine. You can stay as long as you want,” Derek didn’t look at Wally as he said the words. Instead, he stared at her. She felt a flash of affection for him.

Somehow her nakedness seemed right in this situation, and that it was fine for him to stare. She was doing the same to him, after all.

“Thanks Derek,” she approached him, ignoring Wally as he chomped rudely on Derek’s food. “I… I owe you one.”

He put a finger under her chin, urging her to look up into his entrancing eyes. She almost swooned at the touch.

He’s so hot.

“I’m sorry about Wally. He’s still a bit scared from the monster,” she said.

He merely smiled and shrugged as if to say, “Don’t worry about it.”

Her heart skipped a beat.

“Hey, I wasn’t scared! Wait, Artemis, why are you letting that guy touch you like that?”

She leveled a glare at Wally.

“Like what?”

Wally’s eyes widened comically.

“He’s… he’s grabbing your breasts! Hey, get away from my girlfriend!”

Artemis hummed and looked down. Sure enough, Derek’s hands were massaging her big, perky breasts. She’d always been proud of them, and Wally had liked them, too. But she’d never felt better about them than when Derek touched them. Tremors of pleasure pulsed through her body. Her pussy gushed, and she wished Derek would just **** her onto her hands and knees and fuck her.

She sighed. A part of her wished she’d never found Wally in the forest.

“Relax Wally. You should be happy Derek’s letting us stay with him.”

A familiar roar echoed through the cave.

Derek’s ministrations stopped.

“Shit, that thing found us!” Artemis said.

Derek nodded and drew his sword. It gleamed bright silver in the crackling firelight.

I brought that thing right to him and he's not even mad.

She felt a flash of admiration for the boy.

“Oh god, there it is!” Wally squeaked. He pointed to the opening to the chamber.

Artemis looked and truly saw it for the first time. It was little over eight feet tall and covered in pitch black fur. Its glowing red eyes stared at them. It opened its mouth, revealing jagged yellow teeth. A bear, but one far more menacing than she'd ever seen.

It was smiling at them.

“Derek, do you have any more weapons?” she asked the boy who’d grown to mean so much to her lately.

He nodded and handed her a dagger.

It was about a foot long and would only be good at short distances, but it would have to do. She gave the weapon an experimental twirl and took a fighting stance.

It lunged at them.

Derek bellowed a manly roar and rushed ahead of her.

“No, Derek!”

The monster swiped a paw at him, but Derek was faster. He swung his sword and slashed it against the monster’s arm, drawing blood. It howled in pain and swiped at him with another paw. This time it connected, sending Derek sprawling across the rocky floor. He glared at the monster and stood up again.

A flash of movement brought her attention to the opening of the chamber. She saw Wally scurrying towards the entrance, a look of pure fear in his eyes.

Is he… is he gonna just leave me here?

“Wally, where’re you going?! Don't just leave us here!”

Derek dodged another swipe from the monster and stabbed it in the chest. It howled and shoved him. Thankfully the sword came with him.

Wally trembled in fear. He closed his eyes and shook his head. Then he took off running back to the cave entrance.

Hurt and anger welled up in her chest.

He left me. Wally left me here to die!

She’d been betrayed before. Once by her father, and once by her older sister. But this seemed more personal.

Enraged, she clenched her fingers around her dagger and threw it at the monster, stabbing it in one of its bright red eyes.

It let out an ear-piercing shriek.

Derek capitalized on the distraction to heft his sword over the monster’s neck, looking simultaneously like a savage warlord and a noble knight.

She drank in his form, memorizing every detail. This was how a man ought to look.

Then the sword came down, cleaving the monster’s head from its body.

Derek collapsed to his knees, panting heavily. She rushed over to him, hurriedly going over his body for any injuries. He had a few large scratches across his chest and one on his shoulder.

“Derek. It’s alright. You’re gonna be okay,” she tried to reassure him.

The boy smiled at her, and her heart did a somersault in her chest.

“I know,” her savior said. He wrapped his arms around her back and drew her into a hug. Her breasts mashed delightfully against his strong chest.

They stared into each other’s eyes, and Artemis felt like she was staring into his soul. Something that glowed with far more passion and courage than she’d ever seen in Wally.

Their lips met in a flash of feverish passion. She helped him take off his pants and within moments she was riding him, his thick penis wrapped snugly by her tight pussy. Where it belonged. All thoughts of her boyfriend left her as she and Derek made love. The fire crackled approvingly.

Nothing else disturbed them in the night.
