I grinned. "I'm pooped. You'll have to wait awhile I have nothing to offer at the moment."
"Damn it, I'll have to ask Jack then," she said ruefully.
I laughed. Jack is busy. Look at him. Miss Doans has him all wrapped up over in the corner." It was true. Jack was on top of Nora and the two of them were fairly clawing at one another in their urgency.
Jill touched my arm. "This has just got to be the hottest room in town. Did you ever see so much activity of this kind in one room before?" She squeezed my arm now. "Let's add to the activity, baby. Come on. Try. Give Jill some of that thing you have between your legs, baby."
The urgency of her tone of voice caused me to get an erection. "All right," I told her. "Get on your back, baby. I'm coming into you."
"Wait a minute," she said quickly, and pushed against my chest with her hand.
"Look at him, Mr. Nolan. Did you ever see anyone get that red in the face, Bull?"
"Never mind him. You got me stirred up sexually and now you want to… what did you say?" I asked rather stupidly.
"Mr. Nolan – his face is so red. My goodness, look at him, Bull. He's really hot and bothered about Mary sucking his penis."
I didn't look at Mr. Nolan. The hell with Mr. Nolan. Jill had caused me to have an erection when I hadn't thought it possible to get another and now that I wanted to use it in her she was telling me about Mr. Nolan's face. Who cares about Nolan's face?
"Spread your legs, baby," I told her. "I got a big one for you."
"No," she said, pulling away from me and crawling on her hands and knees toward the sofa.
I followed her, my hard-on actually aching to enter her body. "Come on, baby,"
I coaxed. "Don't give me the brush off. Are you angry at me?" There would be nothing unusual about her if she were. She had often been angry at me for one reason or another but concerning nothing very serious in nature. "Hey," I went on, "why are you staring at Nolan and Mary. Do they turn you on or something?"
"His red face," she said. "It disturbs me. I mean, it fascinates me. Why, I don't know. I've just never seen anyone's face become so red. He's really hot and bothered, isn't he? Look at him drooling each time Mary sucks his penis.
Wow."
I glanced at Nolan and took note of the fact that his face was very red.
"Okay," I said. "So he's hot and bothered. So'm I. How about me crawling on top of you? A minute ago you wanted me to."
"I changed my mind. I just want to watch Mr. Nolan. My, he looks odd."
I sighed. "All right. I'll watch him with you if that's all you want to do."
She said nothing.
I glanced at Nora Doans and Jack. "Jill," I said, "have you ever noticed such – a complete change in a person? I'm referring to Nora Doans."
She shrugged. "I'm not the one to ask. I don't really know how she was with you at first. You were with her alone quite a bit, weren't you?"
I nodded my head. "Yes. I keep forgetting. Well, anyhow… she was an entirely different type of woman then. She called me all sorts of names. Said I was a filthy beast. You know, that sort of talk. Idiot talk, mostly. Now she makes no bones about – her desires. Look at her over there with Jack."
Jill laughed. "I'm not concerned about her change in personality or what she's doing. I'm much more interested in that Mr. Nolan. His red face looks like it's going to explode before his penis does. I never saw such a red face, Bull."
I examined her eyes. "Say," I said, "are you sober? Why all the concern about his face being red? Everyone gets a red face now and then."
Turning back to me, she snaked – her hand inside my pants and felt of my penis.
"You're right, baby," she said softly. "Why should it bother me that some fat guy gets red in the face? Say… are you getting a hard-on again?"
"Seems like it, baby. Play with it a little and let's see if it gets real hard."
Jill winked at me and brushed her long blonde hair out of her face almost at the same time. I almost didn't see the wink because of the hair. "Want me to sit down on your lap, baby?" she asked softly. "If your cock's not too hard I can get it in by-sitting on it, you know. I can get it all the way in, I think."
I bowed in mock fashion, as much as one can bow in mock fashion when sitting on the floor. "I would be most happy to have you sit on me and attempt to… "
She giggled, interrupting me. "You're getting harder already," she cried. "Bull Horton, you're the horniest man in this world. Do you ever do anything besides think about fucking and sucking and so on?"
"Certainly I do," I replied. "I not only think about these matters, I participate in the events."
She giggled Again. "Is that what you call them – events?"
I laughed. "Have to call 'em something. Events will do as well as any other – word."
"Look at Mary – the way she's sucking off Mr. Nolan's penis. Do you call what she's doing an event?"
I stopped laughing and glanced sharply at Jill. "What are you talking about, Jill?" I examined her face and eyes carefully. She didn't appear to be unduly high.
She began to laugh. It started out as a giggle and gradually turned into a laugh, almost a hysterical – one. I grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her, but she only shook her head when I tried to ask her if there was something wrong.
I happened to glance at Nolan then. He was lying on the floor and his face, while still red, wasn't nearly as red as it had been. Mary was still sucking his penis, though from what glimpses I could catch of the joy-stick it didn't look to be very hard now. I wondered if he had already blown off in Mary's mouth and if she were trying to get him to go off again.
"Mary," I called across the room to her. "Why not give the guy a rest?"
She glanced up at me and removed Mr. Nolan's cock from her mouth. "This guy hasn't done anything yet. Nothing at all." She looked disgusted with him, but she also bent her head and started to take his cock between her lips again.
Jack was the one who discovered it. That is, he discovered it first. I was hardly aware of what he was doing, but I did see him push Mary away from the newcomer to our group. "Cool it, Mary," he said. "It's no wonder the guy can't go off in your mouth."
Mary looked at him oddly. 'W-what?" she mumbled, her speech thick now, probably from the booze she had drunk.
Jack felt Mr. Nolan's wrist and it was then I knew what had happened, or thought I did. I moved across the room rapidly and felt for a pulse in the man's other wrist. There was none.
"Hey, baby," Jill called to me from across the room. "Come back here and bring the others with you. Let's have one great big six-way swap scene. Everybody suck someone else. Everybody… "
"Jill," I said sharply to my swap partner. "Shut up." She looked – at me oddly.
Nora Doans crawled across the floor on her hands and knees, and titties sticking out of her dress as usual. "What's the matter?" she asked dully.
"Yeah, Bull," Mary said. "What the hell's going on with you and Jack and Mr.
Nolan?"
It was Jack who said it "The reason you couldn't get him to blow off, Mary, the reason his face was so red was probably that he was having a heart attack or a stroke. At any rate, Mr. Nolan is dead."
Everyone got to, his or her feet slowly and arranged his or her clothing. We all looked at, one another.
"The end," Jill said dully. "The end of a great scene."
I stood up straight and looked at each of them. "Jack and I will lay Mr. Nolan on the sofa. You ladies will please pull yourselves together. Mary, take Jill and Nora upstairs and give them something to wear that isn't wrinkled."
"All right, Bull," Mary said, her eyes filled with a strange look. "What else are you going to do?"
I grimaced. "As soon as we get Mr. Nolan on the sofa, I'm calling a doctor for him. After all, none of us can say for certain that he is dead. Only a doctor can do that."
"Then what happens?" Jack asked.
I shrugged. "Then we call the police. What else?"
No one seemed to have a better suggestion, but we all – knew that the swapping was over and none of us would ever be the same again.
