Bait and Switch Ch. 08

By the time Lela finally let me go, I was beyond exhausted. My whole body ached, and even the thought of sex made me shudder. Not even Lela’s greenish-yellow healing light could alleviate the last six hours of carnal bliss.

Needless to say, when my alarm went off, I rolled over and went back to sleep. I only had one final today, and it was in the afternoon. My other classes would just have to suffer.

Also, Derek couldn’t hurt me, if I wasn’t around. I was too tired to even think of locking my door though.

When I finally arrived on campus, I got the same treatment as I’d received yesterday. That is to say, most everyone avoided me. I was okay with that, however, because I wasn’t much in the mood to talk. I took my final, and went back home, skipping Prof. Frankens’ class. Both Gina and Shanna were in that class with me, not to mention the hot professor herself. I just wasn’t up to dealing with them in my current mood.

My phone rang as I walked into my room.

“Is everything alright?” Gina’s concerned voice asked.

“I’m not feeling too well today,” I told her honestly. “I’m just going to get some rest. See you tomorrow?”

“You don’t want me to come take care of you?”

“Thanks, but I don’t want you to get whatever I have.” I tried to sound appreciative, but I really didn’t want company right then, especially not someone that got turned on just by the sound of my voice.

“Well, okay, but you call me if you need anything.”

I hung up, and went back to sleep, only to be awoken a couple hours later, by someone knocking on my door.

Groaning, I rolled over, and asked who it was.

“Shanna,” the soft voice came through my door. “You weren’t in class this afternoon, so I stopped by to see if you were okay.”

Great! I thought. Shanna is only slightly better than Gina right now. I was about to say that I was okay, and thank her for her concern, but she opened the door and entered before I could.

“I’m just tired is all. Need to get more sleep, I guess,” I said instead.

She came to the bed, and felt my forehead and cheeks, just as she had in the auditorium last week. I wondered if this was truly Shanna, and felt for the one switch I’d made in her. It was there, and I could tell she wasn’t very happy.

“You don’t feel like you have a fever…”

“Too much stress over finals this week,” I lied. I felt bad for it, but I couldn’t tell her I’d stayed up all night having sex with a pink-skinned Alien. “I just couldn’t sleep last night. I’ve been trying to make up for it today.”

She looked at me sharply, her blue eyes seeming to penetrate my skull, and I wondered if she knew I had lied to her. After a second though, she sniffed and stood up.

“You stink, and need a shower. Do you want me to do it for you, or are you going to take one on your own?”

“I’m just tired. I’ll take one tomorrow,” I complained.

“No you won’t. One way or another, you’re taking a shower now.” When I tried to protest further, she cut me off. “What you need to do is get your mind off finals. Sleeping will only let your mind go over it again and again. I have a better solution.”

Groaning, I looked up at her, noted her smile, and knew I wasn’t going to win, but I had to try one last thing. “I don’t feel up to anything frisky, right now.”

“Did I say I wanted to fuck you?” She laughed her beautiful laugh, batting her long lashes at me, and I suddenly felt foolish. “There are other ways to distract a mind, and looking around your room, I see a few. Now go shower, or else…”

Defeated, I got out of bed, and went to shower. Despite having followed her directions, she ended up joining shortly after I got in.

“Don’t try anything,” she told me, “I just needed a shower, too, and didn’t see any reason to waste extra water.”

I nodded as though that was the only reason, but not believing her one bit. She helped wash my back, and I returned the favor. I couldn’t help but notice how smooth her back felt, or how beautiful she looked with water streaming from her brown hair, and dripping off her tits. Despite my admiration, there was no movement from my second brain.

Shanna seemed to notice it as well, and other than a slight tightening of her lips, she made no comment, and we got out and dried off. Her reaction surprised me but I didn’t know what to tell her. And besides, she DID say she didn’t want to fuck me…not right now anyway.

She put her hair up in a towel, and there was no denying the beauty of a woman coming right out of a shower.

Once back in my room, Shanna went right to my gaming console, and began flipping through my games. “Beat it…Got it…Lame…Good, but I hated the ending…Nope…Too easy…Ah, here we go.” She held up one of my favorite games, and put the disc in. It was a two player.

“The best way to get your mind off of finals,” she told me, “is to absorb it into something else. Let’s see if you can keep up with me.”

I decided to go easy on her in the first round. I mean, I knew she was a gamer, but she was a girl, after all. She ended up thoroughly trashed me. “Do you think you might actually try to win this time?” She asked, her smile nearly splitting her face as she teased me.

After that, it took everything I had to win some of the rounds. In the end it was pretty even, and we started going through my other games. Shanna promised to bring some of hers over next time, and before either one of us knew it, the sun had set, the moon had risen, and the snow was falling hard.

“Thank you,” I told the brunette. “You really did get my mind off—“

“Don’t say it!” She warned as I walked her outside, and we both laughed. The flakes were huge as they came down from above, and soon it looked like Shanna’s brown hair was white, it held so much snow. “I don’t dare drive home in this,” she told me.

“You’re welcome to stay here, but—“ she cut me off as her arms wrapped around my neck, and she pressed her lips to mine.

“Thank you. I appreciate it.”

“I was about to say, I don’t have any clean clothes for you, and the couch is lumpy, so I’ll let you have my bed.”

She looked at me like I was an idiot. “That’s okay. I keep a bag in my car, just in case of emergencies. And what’s wrong with us sharing your bed? It’s big enough.”

“How can I argue with that? I just didn’t want to presume anything.”

“You know nothing, Jon Snow,” I recognized the quote from one of my favorite fantasy novel series, ‘A Song of Ice and Fire,’ and we both laughed as she brushed the snow off my shoulder.

“Have you seen the HBO series based on the novels?” I asked her.

“Yeah, I’ve seen them but it’s not as good as the books.” She said.

I smiled as I agreed with her assessment. Live action never compares to the book. She grabbed her emergency bag, and we quickly ran back inside. We shook the snow off, and I joked that maybe we needed another shower. “I thought you weren’t up to anything…” she teased me again, batting those beautiful long lashes at me.

“Do I have to be up for that, to want to admire beauty?” I asked back, and was gratified to see her blush.

We opted not to shower, however, and with the late hour, we decided to just go to sleep. Shanna actually had me leave my room as she changed into her pajamas, and when she let me back in, she was already under the covers.
