Last Night On Earth - Chapter 7

“Damn,” Chad swore as he and Gideon reached the top step. “We left our bathing suits.” He turned and stared carefully over the railing, eyes peering through the distance in search of the objects in question. It amused Gideon to think that this man had, only moments before, seemed so uncertain about striding around naked and had now almost forgotten their clothing existed all together. Then again, having the parents of the guy you are seeing stumble in to the room while going at it like rabbits would probably throw even the most stoic of people.

“They’re not going to mind,” Gideon told him. He quirked the corner of his mouth up in a cheeky grin and gestured at the door to his bedroom. “I have robes in my room. We can wear those tomorrow morning until we can gather the evidence.”

Last Night on Earth - Chapter 4

Music pulsed against Gideon as he stepped out of the busy hotel and made his way to the Temptation party. Tucked around the sharp angles of the building, the pool was somewhat hidden from immediate view and the walk from the door to the spot where everyone was gathered almost drove him to madness. He wanted to see everything at once and yet he was being forced to peer between palm trees and tiny shacks filled with towel boys, unable to see the picture as a whole until he could round the bend and catch sight of the complete chaos ahead of him.

Instantly taking to the atmosphere, Amp and Lex began to move to the beat that drew them all forward, their bodies sliding beside each other in such a sensual way that Gideon had to look elsewhere. Suddenly his mind refused to focus on anything other than his questions of gargoyle sexuality. He wanted to know if they flew while in their most intimate of embraces or if they found their pleasure in a way more like humans. Obviously they still found each other attractive in the forms they were in now, but would they act on that attraction later this evening? His mind and body ached as a multitude of scenarios flashed before him and he almost sickened at the thought of mentally imposing on their togetherness.

Admire their beauty, respect their pairing, he told himself as he paid the group’s admission fee. He was going away to school and most likely wouldn’t see his friends for several years. Their friendship needed to be cherished this week, not contorted into an act of desperation.

Last Night On Earth

Once the Gargoyles were safely transformed, Rumple found himself trapped by his own machinations. On one hand his wife had given him the enticing gift of an evening with Lacey, which seemed a perfect fit for their current location, but had caught him up in a sort of role play that would prevent the rest of his planned evening from taking place. As a result, the other hand seemed to be constantly reaching for something that it couldn’t have, grasping at ideas that hadn’t been put in place, then tossing them up to his mind for immediate dismissal. The accidental creation of this Spinner character also proved to be a problem, as Rumple had no cursed memories of the man to feed off of, unlike Belle, who had lived as Lacey for at least a short time.

Beside him, she slipped easily back into her Lacey persona, the change smooth but not at all subtle. She practically dripped from his arm, leaning heavily against him as they retraced their steps through the casino, all loose limbs and fluid movements. Unafraid of who turned to face them, she laughed for all the world to hear, cried out at things that caught her eye, and generally acted as if she had not a single care in the world beyond her own enjoyment of things. Rumple didn’t know how she did it.

Chapter 2

Playing the part of Lacey was surprisingly easy after so many years of suppressing the cursed memories that had come with her. Belle practically dripped off of Rumple’s arm as they moved casually down the hall from their suite to the elevator, whispering in his ear, and letting the giggles of her anticipation consume her. She flirted, she teased, she stopped him twice to press close and feel the textures of the various fabrics he had on, but she always let him go in the end. The beginning of their date came with a timetable that Gideon had no idea of and no matter how eager she was to spend one, final night in a place that practically swallowed up all inhibitions, she had no intentions of denying her son his.

Once they were finally in the elevator, she released the Lacey in her with a single breath and turned to face her husband, now purely Belle, the concerned mother and loving wife. “Gideon is so very upset at being here. Are you sure we did the right thing by not telling him?”

Last Night On Earth

The Golds had been to many places in their lifetimes, but Gideon never once thought that his father would end up insisting on the three of them spending a week in Las Vegas. He always seemed to loathe the idea of milling about in a town built up from the things he was opposed to, yet here they were, in a suite at the end of what everyone called “The Strip,” and all because Gideon would soon be leaving them.

Elphame Academy’s acceptance letter had come as both a wonderful surprise and a sharp reminder that their adventures as a family were quickly diminishing. Gideon was excited to go, of course, but now that he was faced with separation from the two most important people in his life, he was desperate for more time with them. Yet his father was adamant that this week be filled with things that Gideon would be welcome to do on his own, and since their arrival things had become even more strange.
