Zombies - A Love Story Ch. 03

Author's Note: I'm finding it difficult to find the appropriate category for this series. It does have a sci-fi element to it, but it also has an erotic couplings flavor. I think I'll post this in sci-fi and see how this works out, chapter two is under erotic couplings in case you may have missed it and want to read it first.

It was late afternoon when Zack and Caria loaded up their take in the back of the "liberated" yellow Hummer and retraced their earlier path back toward Zack's hometown. She split her attention between the passing scenery -- densely wooded areas with interspersed homes in some areas, and more densely packed homes in others -- while also keeping an eye on her new boyfriend.

Caria was taking notice of the serious expression on his face and his complete silence. She was beginning to wonder if he was having second thoughts about leaving with her. How would she react if he did change his mind? Could she stay here with him and be happy, hoping to convince him to move west at a future time when the locally available food sources began drying up? Or would she have to continue the frightening journey alone once again?

"You're being awfully quiet," Caria finally spoke up. "What's wrong, Zack? Tell me the truth... I can deal with it better than lies."

Allowing the vehicle to coast to a stop on a residential street in front of an apartment complex he turned to face her, his expression unchanged. "Do we have to leave so soon? Can we wait a little?"

He could hear the breath catching in her throat as it made a sudden clicking sound before watching her awesome blue eyes widening in fear. A second later he could see tears forming, brimming over the bottom eyelids to run down her rosy cheeks.

She admitted in a teary voice, "I've been afraid you'd change your mind ever since we left the mall. I think I love you too, but I can't -"

"Three, maybe four days is all I'm asking," he quickly interrupted, confused as to how a slight delay could have such a deeply emotional impact on her. "I need to round up a trailer, as many gas cans as we can find, first aid kits, medicines. We need to leave prepared is all I'm saying."

When he saw the relief washing over her face when listening to his explanation, a wide smile replacing the tears, Zack knew he was saying the right things. Feeling a sense of pride and growing confidence he reached for her, giving her a tight hug while kissing the side of her face.

"Did you hear what I said?" she wondered. "Did you hear me tell you that I think I love you?"

His arms retreated as he leaned back to gaze into her wet, sparkling eyes. He'd been so distraught about her emotional reaction he had missed this but he pretended otherwise. "Why, do you want to take it back?"

Caria softly laughed, releasing all of the fear and apprehension. "No, Zack, I meant what I said."

After the moment passed he settled back behind the wheel and got the SUV going again.

"Where did this part of you come from?" she finally inquired. "Yesterday it was all about playing zombie-killing games. Today, up until now anyway, it's all been about sex. But now you're really getting serious about this trip, really thinking things through. Why is that?"

Zack wanted to tell her that he was smarter than she gave him credit for, but thought better of it. Finally, with a sigh, he admitted, "In the game there's a level where you have to collect gas cans to get the car going, remember? And you're always looking for first aid kits to heal the damage, medicine to boost your speed, things like that. I know it's just a game and stuff, but that doesn't mean these things aren't any less important now, right?"

"No, I think you're right," she was quick to respond, surprised she hadn't considered any of these things before. "I hadn't thought about it. I agree, we should wait and be sure we're ready before we leave."

"Still up for steak and potato wedges?"

Caria smiled. "Sounds great!"

* * * * *

They stood side by side in front of the grill at the diner, Zack cooking two steaks as Caria pushed a dozen large potato wedges over the hot surface. Neither spoke for several minutes, each busy with their own thoughts.

Zack sensed the changes he'd been going through since meeting Caria. It was now obvious to him that he'd been trying to pretend that none of this craziness had ever happened, instead losing himself in his zombie game, even thinking he was finding himself in a real-life game. He had just been scared, still was even, but now this wonderful girl was changing all of this. What would've become of him if they'd never met? He hated to consider the honest answer to that one.

Caria smiled to herself while remembering leaning over the Hummer, pistol drawn, waiting for Zack to emerge from the store with his loot. The look on his face had been priceless. Here he thought she was brave and tough, and she'd acted the part convincingly to this point, but this was so far from the truth. Deep down she was frightened, running away from a grim reality she couldn't face. Until Zack made her stop, forcing her to look around, to start accepting it.

As they both turned to look at one another they each simultaneously called out the other person's name. This caused them both to briefly laugh.

"You go first," Zack offered.

Caria flashed him an appreciative smile before taking in a deep, nervous breath. "Earlier I told you I think that I love you, but I don't think this anymore. I know I love you, Zack, you're my whole world now. You have to promise me that you won't do anything stupid that could get you hurt or killed, because I don't know what I'd do without you."

Caria paused to dab at the emotional tears which were building in her eyes. When she stopped talking he began.

"Caria, I -"

"Please, I'm not finished yet, I have to say this," she interrupted him. Taking another deep breath she continued. "I'm not a strong person, Zack, I'm scared just like you. But being with you gives me hope and strength. I'll never leave you, no matter what. I love you."

By the time she finished he realized they both felt the same way. Choking back emotional tears of his own, feeling his face getting warm, Zack offered her a wide grin.

"Now, what were you about to say?"

He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly while asking, "How do you want your steak cooked?"

"You jackass!" she cried out while punching him sharply on the upper left arm.

Grabbing her wrists, pushing her backwards until her slender body was pressing up against a wall, he pinned her arms to it. He leaned in until their foreheads were touching, eyes gazing at one another.

"You said everything I was going to say," Zack shared. "I love you so much. It almost seems like I've known you for two years instead of two days, you know? The only thing I can add to what you already said is to tell you that being with you has made me a better person. And I'll never let you let me go."

This emotional moment was ripe for a kiss and so Zack tilted his head, lips reaching for hers. Caria instead slipped away from him while announcing, "Medium well."

Zack shook his head in disbelief as she gave him a dose of his own medicine. "Cute, vey cute."

After enjoying the satisfying meal Zack drove them back to his house. Along the way he noticed the traffic signals had stopped working.

"Uh-oh."

His murmur caught Caria's attention, who turned to look at him while asking, "What is it?"

He stopped at the intersection to gaze at the lifeless stop light. "The power is out."

"Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later," she responded with a disappointed sigh. "We can look for a generator in the morning, it'll be getting dark soon."

Zack pointed out, "No power, no game."

Caria reached her left arm over, placing her hand on his upper right leg. "No power, no video game," she clarified. "Do you have any board games?"

"You mean 'bored' games? My mom tried to start a family game night a few years back, but it didn't work out. They're probably still in the closet under a blanket of dust. I like my video games better."

"Zack, you were a terrible son! Your mom was just trying to help the family get closer," Caria spoke up critically. "Besides, we're survivors in a new world, we have to adapt."

"Let's get a generator now, we'll have time," he argued.

But Caria's mind was made up. "No Zack, we're going to play a board game. I'll let you pick which one."

He rolled his eyes in frustration but gave in. "Okay, since I don't really have a choice..."

* * * * *

As Caria left Zack to dig through the closet and find the games by flashlight, she used a battery-powered camping lantern to go to the bedroom to "get comfortable", whatever that meant. He was about to tell her he'd been wrong about the games, hoping she'd let it pass, but something told him he'd regret it. After a brief search he found them in the closet under other items and pulled Monopoly from underneath several others.

After blowing off the dust that had collected along one side he opened it up. With the butt of the flashlight resting on one end of the table, the bright beam was directed up at the ceiling which distributed the dim illumination throughout the room. He started setting up the board on the kitchen table. This was when she reappeared. Zack initially glanced up when she arrived but he quickly did a double-take. To say that she looked gorgeous would have been a huge understatement.

Her sexy, shapely frame was dressed in one of the lingerie outfits he'd requested her to take. Now he was glad that he had. It was a three-piece set with panties, a bra, and a waist-length cover.

The fabric was sheer white, with heavier white borders. Even while wearing the cover he could still see the cups of her bra and her amazing breasts underneath, the swollen nipples noticeably sticking out. His eyes traced their way down over her flat tummy to her crotch, which was equally visible. The dark pubic curls compressed under the fabric were all he could make out.

"Wow," was all he could manage.

Caria gave him a sultry smile before offering, "Or you can go out and try to find a generator."

He shook his head, speechless, as his eyes continued to feast on the angelic beauty of this very special girl good fortune had blessed him with. Zack felt his cock starting to twinge with arousal at the mere sight of her.

"Let's move the game to the living room carpet, we'll be more comfortable there," she suggested. Zack swept everything back into the box and eagerly followed her lithe form into the other room.

After Zack set the board up on the middle of the floor she frowned up at him. "What?"

"You don't look very comfortable," she decided. "Why not strip down to your underpants before we get started?"

"Is this one of your fantasies?" he asked her as she watched him disrobe.

Caria only smiled. As he removed his clothes she settled on her right side facing him, her right arm bent at the elbow, hand propping up her head, the board game between them. Zack couldn't believe how ravishing she looked at that moment, the front of her body bathed in the weak light of the cheap lantern. She had such an awesome body, which was now hardly concealed in the teasingly thin three-piece set.

His eyes drank in the erotic image before him. Even through two layers of fabric he could just barely see her firm, perky breasts so nicely cupped, the hard nipples throbbing against the fabric. His gaze trailed down to her crotch to admire the compressed, dark curls of pubic hair.

Seeing where his attention was now centered, Caria slowly lifted her left leg, placing the foot behind her right knee, separating her thighs as her pelvis shifted forward. She loved how he was admiring her body as he was, which created tingling warmth deep in her supple loins. She liked knowing that he wanted her sexually, was probably thinking of sliding his stiff cock inside of her moistening pussy.

A gasp escaped her lips as she teasingly licked and sucked on her left middle finger, making a suggestive show of it just as Zack finished stripping down to his underpants. She could see his excitement growing, the rigid bulge forcing the front of his underpants out, straining to be unleashed.

"I want you," he admitted as his eyes continued scanning her luscious form.

"You'll have to buy me," Caria answered with a coy grin. "I love money, Zack. You'll have to buy each article of clothing until I'm nude, and only then can you have me."

"You're such a tease."

Her smile widened as her tongue wrapped around the finger, sliding up and down the extended digit. Eventually she responded with, "You have no idea."

As distracted as he was by the gorgeous woman across from him with those amazing blue eyes, Zack separated the money by denomination. After he placed the shoe on the board, she decided on the hat.

"I have to admit," Zack spoke up as he rolled the dice, "this might not be as boring as I first thought."

As the game proceeded they took turns rolling, advancing their pieces around the board and accumulating properties as quickly as they could. Caria knew that as she shook the dice in her hand it caused her boobs to jiggle, and she pretended not to notice as he stared at them every time. The sexual tension was slowly driving her wild. She could already feel the heat building in her lower abdomen as her female wetness was increasing. Even her nipples were like two pink diamonds, just as stiff and straining as could be.

Eventually the game really got going as monopolies were established and the houses started being bought. But as much as she wanted Zack to gain the upper hand it turned out that she was the luckier one.

Flush with cash she picked up five hundred dollars and held it up. "I'll buy your underpants."

"These are all I have on," he quickly complained. "Make it a thousand."

"A thousand?" Caria responded, shocked by the counteroffer, especially knowing that she didn't have anything close to that much. She added another hundred to it. "Make it six hundred, but that's the highest I can go."

Zack smiled as he made a point of glancing down at his rigid, throbbing erection. "You're still short, but maybe we can work something out. I'll take the six hundred as long as you'll let me buy your cover and bra for three hundred apiece. And one more thing..."

She was busy staring at the impressive bulge hidden under his shorts when she looked up. "What is it?"

"You'll have to suck on it."

Her coy smile returned. "Oh? For how long?"

"A minute."

They were both aware that neither of them had any way of tracking how long a minute was, not with the power now gone. The seductive grin that crossed her lips and sparkled in her eyes immediately had his cock surging with energy, his aching balls filled with tingling pressure. He was hoping he wouldn't cum too quickly, so eager was he to stretch this erotically charged game out for as long as possible.

Getting up on her hands and knees, she crawled over the carpet around the board game to where he was sitting. In anticipation Zack got down on his back, the bulge rising skyward. Caria gazed at the image one last time before reaching her hands down, gently tugging the underpants over the bulge and down his legs to reveal the welcoming sight of his rigid shaft and hair-covered balls to her unobstructed view.

"Lucky for you I didn't charge by the inch," Zack said in a playful tone.

"Why? Even at a hundred an inch it would've been cheaper for me," she quickly shot back with a cute giggle.

Zack cried foul even though they both knew she was right. "Ouch!"

"Don't worry, baby, I love you just the way you are."

The teasing banter stopped once her fingers began squeezing on his balls and slowly stroking the hard shaft. She watched the swollen, reddish-purple tip as her fingers tightly compressed around his cock before pumping upward, watching as a drop of leaking semen formed at the tiny opening.

Leaning down, the tip of her tongue smeared the thick, milky drop over the smooth surface. Caria smiled to herself as Zack's body immediately stiffened and a moan of delight was heard. Her closed lips pressed at the head and widened as they pushed down over it, half his length sliding into the warm wetness of her wondrous mouth.

Zack sighed with pleasure as he felt her tightly closed lips pursed around his width, moving down the shaft as the sensitized, straining tip moved over her tongue to the back of her throat. She was sucking hard at the same time, the vacuum sensation creating as much delight as her lips and tongue were.

Lifting his buttocks lifted off the floor, he couldn't help but to begin making slight thrusting motions. His hands also reached down, the fingers intertwining around the back of her head to help guide her stimulating attention. He started sliding his cock in and out of her mouth a little faster as she busily licked and sucked nearly all of his stiff length.

This felt so good to him that he could feel his balls aching more readily now. A few more drops of his seed seeped from the flared tip to mix with her saliva as she gave him exactly what he'd asked for, and more. Caria had easily been sucking for longer than a minute and his semen was beginning its rise. This was when her mouth backed off of him.

"No, don't stop," he quickly complained, hips thrusting his cock into the air to no avail.

She playfully slapped his saliva-soaked cock. "You got more than you deserved, and you know it."

"Let's quit the game and do what we both really want," he decided, pleading his case.

Smiling indignantly Caria answered, "Show me the money first and then we can talk."

Zack sat up, flashing her an annoyed expression before picking up three hundred dollars. "For the cover," he announced.

When Caria smiled back he knew she was up to something. "Throw in Marvin Gardens."

"That's not the deal we made earlier. I'll give up the Electric Company, that'll give you the utilities monopoly," he counter-offered. "Look, give me a chance, alright? How can I buy the clothes off your body when I'm losing my ass with every roll?"

Caria merely offered a smug grin before nodding her agreement. After making the trade she removed her cover, placing it aside. The slight exposure really had no effect except to get Zack one step closer to what he was really after. Holding up the remaining three hundred he gestured for her bra.

"Okay, but you'll have to suck on them," she added, emulating his earlier request when she'd purchased his underpants.

As he crawled around the game board she settled flat on her back. He had been gawking at her boobs all evening long and earlier noticed the white plastic fastener nestled between the cups. Without too much difficulty he loosened it, watching as the tight fabric snapped back away from the perky swells and the swollen peaks.

After admiring the succulent breasts for several moments, he glanced up into her eyes to savor the blue orbs which were half-closed in anticipation. Placing his hands on the firm pillows around the nipples, he squeezed gently, watching as the nipples rose slightly upward from the pressure.

Taking each into his mouth he licked and sucked on one before the other, alternating back and forth every few moments. He enjoyed listening to her sweet moans of delight while her body writhed upon the floor. Nipping at the peak in his mouth with his front teeth, dragging them up and down the sides of the shaft, this really appeared to get her going. Nearly bucking, her back arched, pressing her breasts harder against his hands.

For Caria the teasing was becoming torturous. Her loins were ablaze with arousal and her pussy was literally soaked with her flowing juice. She ached for his cock, was anxious to feel it sliding deeply inside of her, but desperately tried to hold off, knowing the longer they continued the teasing the more powerful the release would be when it finally arrived.
