Nepenthe

"Alright then, enjoy!" I exclaimed as I placed down dinner on the small table in my apartment. I, being taught how to cook by my annoying mother, learned how to make all sorts of meals. And this time I prepared a simple plate of bachelor's macaroni and cheese for both Jia and I.

Jia didn't seem picky in the slightest, immediately grabbing the utensils and scarfing down the food. Between bites, she said, "You are... Feeding me... Again, Cahlan. Thank you." Her words seemed a bit more emotional than before, though it wasn't enough to note down in a diary.

"Ah, it's no biggie. It'd be rude of me to not cook for guests. After, you can take a shower first if you want, I'll go after." I informed.

"Shower? What is... That?" She seemed genuinely baffled.

"You don't even know what a shower is? Don't tell me that's part of your amnesia. Whatever, I'll show you when we're done here." Which I did when we both finished off the food. Now I like to say that I have quite the appetite, though how much I usually ate paled in comparison to the gluttonous maw of Jia's. Not only did she eat all of the macaroni I didn't eat, but she also polished off all of the fruit in my fruit bowl as well as a bag of salted peanuts that I kept out as a snack.

I proceeded to show Jia the shower, which not only did she not know what it was, she did not even know what a bath was, and so I was forced to show her how to turn it on and off. When I left the bathroom, I could see Jia playing with the water knobs, turning the hot and cold water on and off several times, until she finally decided on a comfortable temperature.

While she bathed, I got the guestroom ready. Man, I'm really lucky. I got this large apartment for that price.

Still, it was inevitable that my thoughts shifted to Jia. What a strange girl... Jia Fucanglong? Nepenthe? Huh...

With those words in mind, I pulled up a chair to my laptop, which was situated on a desk in my room. Pulling up the trusty search engine, I entered in 'Jia Fucanglong'. While I didn't know what I expected, I found out what her name meant. Fucanglong, it is the name of a legendary dragon in Chinese mythology. Ha, as if that had anything to do with the situation.

Then I entered in 'Nepenthe', curious as to what I would see next. Furrowing my brow, I read one of the articles the search engine brought up. Apparently, Nepenthe is a powerful amnesiac type drug, and it's not even a modern one, but an ancient drug used by the ancient Greeks. While it was silly that the vial labeled 'Nepenthe' was the actual ancient drug, it did made sense that whatever was in that vial caused Jia to lose her memories and induce amnesia in her being. If that truly was the case, just WHY?

I knew instantly that Jia definitely didn't take the drug willingly, no one would. She either took the drug accidently, which was even more improbable, or someone gave her the drug with or without her knowledge, that was the most likely case that my CSI mind deducted.

As I pondered the newfound knowledge, leading me to believe I got myself into a troublesome situation that was beyond worth getting into, I decided to rest in bed until Jia finished. Knowing her nature, even if by a little, I knew that she would probably make it so there was no hot water left for me to take a turn. It would be best to shower in the morning.

"Cahlan..." Whispered Jia as she walked through my bedroom door, and I must stress to you, glorious is not the way to describe the way Jia looked.

The girl walked in, without any coverings, naked into my room. Her hair gave off a brilliant black sheen to it, glossier than any hair product commercials that you would see on TV. Her body held a pale yellowish skin tone. Her breasts were definitely larger than average, about a double D, though I was only experience enough to give vague estimates. Her body also held lithe curves, belonging only to ethereal existences, and Jia was one of those ethereal beauties. Her sharp facial features no longer looked as harsh, but revealed an innocent side to Jia's nature.

I should have known and planned ahead of time to give her some of my clothes or a towel to cover herself. I figured she would have put back on her clothes from before (which was a floral print dress with tiger lily flowers and the rest of the garment a marvelous gold)... How naive of me.

"He-hey! What're you doing?" I cried weakly.

"I wish... To repay you... For your... Kindness." Jia responded earnestly, she apparently had no qualms in being naked, as there was no hint of shyness in her face nor was there any hint of sluttiness. I had no way to describe her demeanor, it was infinitely stranger than any person I had come across before.

"You can do that some other time! You don't have to do this for me!" I sputtered out, trying to give off some resistance. There was no way I could explain to cops that I had taken advantage of a girl under the influence of amnesia.

"In other... Words, you do... Not mind... If I do... This?" Asked Jia innocently with dewy blue eyes.

Blip! All resistance points gone! You may now proceed to relinquish yourself to temptation! Please enjoy yourself and have a nice day!

Honestly, I had no idea how to react at this point, the only muscle that moved in my body was the one attached to my dick, which was slowly hardening from the sight of the naked Jia. At this point, the fat guy in the devil suit had completely won the match against the angel suit.

Jia made the first move, as if she had done this hundreds of times even though it was her first time doing this, if that made any sense. She clamped onto my body, trying to maximize contact with me. She caressed and massaged my shoulders with her smooth hands, landing soft kisses with her moist lips along my neck and ears.

I wanted to turn around and return the attention, though Jia kept me still with her strangely strong arms, fine with me anyhow.

Jia nibbled on my earlobe, which caused me to shiver slightly with pleasurable sensation. She continued the massage with her soft hands, which moved around the shoulders and onto my arms occasionally. She pushed her chest into my back, which caused her soft breasts and erect nipples to poke against my body.

I released a soundless gasp at Jia's actions. I was fully hard now from the contact with Jia.

As if instinctively knowing this, Jia slithered around my body in order to give attention to my front side. Dragging her soft fingers down the middle of my chest, leaving a trail of goosebumps, she eventually reached my crotch where my fully erect cock was, begging for attention.

She wrapped her hand around my shaft, though she didn't stroke it, merely giving the sensation of being held. Jia moved her mouth towards my head, homing onto my lips and locking them together. I failed to realize what was happening until I felt her moist lips on me, licking and sucking on my own lips and tongue which she had dragged out with her own tongue. In time, I returned the affection, administering my saliva on Jia's mouth and lips.

It was quite the passionate display, one that was couple with the movements of our hands. Jia grabbed one of my hands and guided it to her large breasts, breasts that looked out of place on her smaller build, though she was all the more attractive because of it.

While she teased my dick with her hand, I teased her breasts with mine. I lightly pushed and squeezed Jia's tits with my hands as we continued to kiss with increasing salacity.

Releasing the kiss, I moved my lips down to Jia's tits. Jia arched her back and mewled softly into the air as she received the incoming throbs of pleasure from her seemingly sensitive breasts. I kissed and licked around one of the fleshy orbs, though not in a sloppy manner. I applied the same attention to both breasts, and when my head switched, I attacked her nipples with my fingers.

Jia couldn't help but instinctively react to the pleasure, which forced her hand to move more around my shaft. Her thumb applied pressure on the sensitive head of my cock, rubbing around the various bundles of nerves. The rest of her fingers tickled and traced patterns around the length of my dick, sending weird, but gratifying, tingles through my spine. My crotch slowly got sweaty and slick with precum, partially due to the hot night and mainly because of Jia's skilled fingers.

Jia pushed me on my back with her weirdly strong hands, forcing me on my back. As I looked over, I could see Jia crawling over to my shaft like a cat pouncing on its new toy.

With my upright member, Jia pulled the shaft back and licked it from base to head with her heavenly tongue. My mind was wracked with pleasure. Jia groped and fondled my balls while she paid attention to the sensitive head with her tongue and lips. Not once did she bring my shaft into her mouth during this process, it was as if Jia was making the point that she could make me cum anytime I wanted with her tongue only. She coiled her tongue around the base of the head, touching every pleasure point that existed in that area and then some.

Jia slid her tongue up and down my length, working her oral skills to the absolute max, it was long until she made me climax, so I made that known to her. "Hah... I'm going to cum soon if you keep that up."

Encouraged, Jia licked my balls a couple times, as if they were jawbreakers, while taking one into her mouth and sucking on it lightly. That did it...

With that final sensation in mind, I couldn't help but burst over Jia's pretty face, painting her white. Ropes of my sticky white semen. It was quite an erotic sight, a pretty girl with my cum splattered over her face, it didn't seem like it could fit her but it worked.

"May we... Continue?" Asked Jia, sweetly.

There's going to be more? Well of course there will be, we haven't even done it yet... I can't tell if I lucked out today or un-lucked out.

"Do not worry. I will... Not get... heavy with child." Said Jia in her ever innocent and entrancing voice.

Ok fuck it, I lucked out. Complete angelic conscience withdrawn and complete devil take over complete!

As if possessed, I went on the offensive. I pushed Jia over onto her side and lifted up her leg, which I placed over my shoulder. Jia didn't resist, though she guided my cock towards her damp pussy, clearly ready to be penetrated. And penetrate I did, pushing my still hard shaft into her pussy. Considering I don't masturbate as often as most guys, that's probably the main reason why my dick stayed erect after climaxing.

It felt really good, for lack of a better way to describe it, all I could feel was a tight wet sensation around my cock as it slowly made its way through Jia's pussy.

"Ah... More please, harder..." Moaned Jia, and for the first time, I saw her face contorted into something other than blankness, a face twisted, in a good way, by bliss.

Her hand darted towards the top of her pussy. Where she uncovered her clitoris and began rubbing it fervently in order to exponentially increase the pleasure. Despite being a quiet girl, Jia's moans couldn't help but escape her mouth, and the room was filled with the sounds and smell of sex.

I continually pushed my way into Jia's wet snatch; each time I hit her womb's entrance. Jia's other free hand went to her breasts, which she began to pinch and play with in order to increase the ever growing amount of pleasure.

I could feel her walls clamping down on my cock each time I retracted in order to thrust in again, attempting to milk me for more of my cum. I reached down and scooped up Jia with my arms, causing her chest to bounce into mine when I picked her up. In this position, I was thrusting into her pussy as I held her in the air. I jabbed with all my might, my cock deep into Jia's sweaty sex, causing her to moan frequently with each thrust.

Jia's legs wrapped around my lower body and clamped down, unwilling to let go for any reason. Her breasts bounced enticingly as I looked down, jiggling all of the soft fat located there. Soon, I lowered Jia down onto the bed so that I could fuck her while I was on top and she was lying down on the bed, the tables were turned.

Her legs, though loosened, were still wrapped tightly around my body. Her body shook uncontrollably as she, I assumed and was soon confirmed, climaxed.

"Ah! I am..." Jia couldn't even finish her sentence as she felt herself getting filled far more than several seconds ago.

I came again, deep into her wet folds, past her womb's entrance, and into the back of her pussy.

"So... Warm! You are... Filling me... With your seed." Exclaimed Jia in a strange mix of monotony and ecstasy.

Unable to control her desire, Jia lavished my head with her lips and tongue, fanatically kissing almost everywhere her lips could reach... She's unusually affectionate.

"Cahlan... May I make... A... Selfish request?" Whispered Jia into my ears.

I was in no position to refuse. My ability to comprehend the situation had been completely decimated by the afterglow and lust from doing Jia.

"Please... Protect me..." It almost seemed as if Jia was sobbing.

Protect? Oh yea... "Yea, of course... So tired." I mumbled, completely unaware of what I just agreed to, as I soon fell asleep in Jia's embrace.

Jia smiled and kissed my forehead once more, "Good night... Kind person."

Once I was asleep, Jia deftly lifted herself up out of bed, holding a hand against the flesh in front of her womb. She could still feel his warmth inside her. She wouldn't get pregnant. A being of her stature wouldn't get pregnant unless she wanted to. Though Jia did not know that, yet she instinctively knew that she wouldn't get pregnant.

She tried hard to remember, though none of her memories returned to her. All she could feel was a faint cry to herself, pleading with herself to escape and find refuge until she may strike back.

While she now knew her name, thanks to my looking inside the pendant, she still didn't know what she was. The pendant that was around her neck was located on my dresser, which I put there. Jia walked over to it and picked it up. She wasn't sure if she wanted or didn't want to open it up, though she eventually decided not to. Her memories would come in due time.

Deciding there was nothing more to do, Jia placed herself back in my bed, satisfied that I would protect her...

I had no idea what I was getting into at that time.

That night, I dreamed of an epic sight, and not epic in the sarcastic sense.

In the clear blue skies littered with a few wispy clouds, were glorious dragons of varying colors flying through the sky, flying in complete harmony with each other. The dragons came in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some of them looked like the normal type of dragon you'd see in your everyday fantasy book, large body, four stubbly limbs, grand wings, sweeping tail, wicked horns, and a wise face. Other dragons resembled the Lyndworms of Viking lore, smaller and with their wings replacing their front limbs. And it didn't stop there.

In the background, several active volcanoes were going off, sending high temperatures into the air around me. While I was apparently in no danger, it still scared me even though this was a dream. From each volcano, a bright and scorching beam shot up into the air, as if contacting the heavens. It was an infinitely captivating spectacle.

While I viewed the sight a painter wished he could capture, I laid back peacefully against a golden-green set of scales. I was leaning against a slim dragon that looked infinitely fiercer than any of the ones in the skies. Though as fierce as it was, it seemed restful and happy that I was near it, and so I was.

The dragon snorted fire through its nostrils as it watched me fall asleep against its body. It coiled its slim and tubular body around me, with its wings covering top form any rain or snow as it too, and fell into a deep sleep.

'Knock Knock' I could hear sharp raps on the door of my apartment as I left the bathroom, freshly washed and clothed.

When I got out of bed this morning, I was initially surprised to find Jia in my bed, clinging on to me tightly. I tried my best to get out and I eventually succeeded. God, I am so screwed if she gets back her memories and she decides that I took advantage of her.

I walked over to the door and peered through the hole, looking to see who was there. Two men in tacky suits out of place in this time of day were standing there patiently. One of them was wiping his brow clean of sweat. Apparently not even G-Men were immune to the summer days.

'They seem authoritative; perhaps they were looking for Jia? Wait... Wouldn't that be a bad thing?' I thought that as I opened the door to the two men.

"Uh, hello. Can I help you?" I inquired slowly, still tired from the morning's lull.

"Yes, my name is Agent Daniels and this is Kerry, and yes you can. We are looking for this girl." Said one of the men as he pulled up a photo of a certain someone located in my bedroom. They also flashed their seemingly unaltered IDs in front of my face. "She escaped custody earlier and we are trying to find her. As we have no clue as to where she is, we are asking anyone to see if they had any hints of her. Do you?"

Fuck... Still, putting on my best poker face, I replied earnestly, "I haven't seen her... Though I think I might've saw someone like her yesterday at Arrow Street. Well, someone like her, my memory is a bit hazy. Y'know, I had little to drink the other day and I don't do too well drunk in the heat... Damn hangover."

I must have been very convincing with my acting, even though I was only an extra in a single high school play, as the two men looked at each other and nodded. "Thank you for your cooperation, please keep an eye out and inform the authorities if you see this girl. Remember, she is dangerous and may resort to violence." The two men left and I closed the door behind them.

'Shit... SHIT! Just what the heck did I do? Did I really just lie to an officer of the law? I am so fucked...' I clasped my head as I recounted the screw up I just made. 'Wouldn't that be like... Twenty years in prison or something? So much for my job!'

"They are... Bad. I know... It." Said that damnable girl from last night and the one the two agents were looking for, Jia Fucanglong.

"Huh? They're police officers, and not normal ones at that." The IDs flashed through my head again, I forgot a crucial detail, the name of the branch the men were working for, the FBI... Shhhhhiiiiiit!

"No... I know... They are bad." Jia seemed truly troubled.

"Eh, did some of your memories come back?"

"I am sorry... No they... Did not."

Sigh. "Nothing we can do about it now. Uh, Jia, what are you wearing?" I asked, troubled by what article of clothing the girl chose to cover herself with.

"Is it... Not suitable? I am... Wearing... Some of your... Clothes. Is that... Bad?" Jia looked up at me with an innocent expression.

That face of hers... It's deadlier than a nuke. "Fine, we'll need to get some clothes for you. Thank god I got my paycheck. No, this day and yesterday, that guy has entirely abandoned me to the point where I would worship false idols with vigor."

My joke went right through one of Jia's ears and out the other. "Eh? False... Idols?"

"Ahhhh, just ignore that. Right, here, wear these. They'll at least fit you until we get you to a clothing store." I handed her some clothes that looked like they would fit her, which they did marvelously, and I went out the door with Jia close behind.

-

"You really chose some expensive ones... Well, if the guy is paying, any girl probably would." I said half heartedly to both Jia and I as we walked through the mall.
