Although I was horny as hell and eager for whatever delights Jessica could offer me, I found myself distracted by other less pleasant thoughts.
Leaning over me, waiting patiently, the giraffe woman's excited grin suddenly faded and gave way to a look of alarm. "What's wrong?"
I gulped deeply, took a moment to gather my thoughts, and then sighed heavily. "Jess, I want this. I really do. It's... just..."
She seemed deeply hurt and her expression fell to sadness. She closed her eyes, trying not to cry, and sighed in frustration. She sat back down on the end of the bed and held her forehead in her hand. "This place?" She asked, rubbing between her horns.
"Well, yeah." I sat up, and got up off the bed. My sexual excitement had faded. "I mean... I came here on vacation! I didn't know any of this. What kind of sick fuck makes a magical trap to turn people into animals?"
Jess stared at me for a moment, nodded, and seemed relieved. "So... it's nothing I did?"
I stopped in my tracks and stared at her with a half puzzled half amused raised eyebrow grin thing. "Uh, no. Hello? Do you remember a couple minutes ago?"
She grinned again and her spirits lifted. "Right. About that."
I snapped to suddenly and my gut sank as I came to a horrible realization. "Oh fuck."
"What?!" Jess jumped, alarmed, and stood up from the bed. Her neck brushed the roof.
"I... I came here with two buddies! We went to high school together, uh..." I gulped. "Fuck!"
"Oh God." Jess whimpered, putting her hands to her mouth. "Why didn't you tell me that earlier?"
"I-I forgot them!" I paced again. "I mean... you... and and... our evening. I forgot!"
Jess was already heading toward the door, lifting her dress up and zipping it. Her determination was sudden and definite. "Mark, we have to find them! It might already be too late."
"All right, let me grab my coat." I called, and went into the side closet to grab a couple things.
"Oh, one more thing!" Jessica stuck her head under the open door frame.
"Yes?" I threw one of my arms in my jacket while moving.
"You're going to have your way with me when we get back." She paused. "Hard."
"Yes, ma'am." I smiled, and snuck in a quick kiss before we headed out of the hotel.
