Down by a Billabong

This is my entry for the Halloween 2026 competition. Halloween isn't big in Australia, so the connection is a bit tenuous

===

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Suze asked her boyfriend. "That was a perfectly good road you left."

Jack shrugged. "Nope. Not really. It just looked like a good track heading roughly in the right direction."

"Great. So I guess there's no pub at the end."

"Hey, we're roughing it. You wanted to do it in the open, so here we are."

"Yeah, well, I wanted a real toilet though. Peeing behind a tree isn't my idea of fun."

"Well, you're in luck, Suze. Can't call most of these scrubby things trees, and I'm sure you won't have any voyeurs watching."

"Hmph. Funny bugger." Suze crossed her arms and sat back as the panel van slowly worked its way down the narrow sandy track. "I guess it is pretty, in a desert kind of way."

"Yep, and there should be a beach down here. Naked swimming..." Jack said, with a big grin.

Suze went to hit his shoulder, but she missed as the Holden lurched through a series of potholes. "Ooof! Your van isn't exactly the car for this. I hope we'll be able to get out again."

"She'll be right as long as it doesn't rain. And there we are. The mighty Darling River."

Susan peered out through the dust covered windscreen at the vista in front of her. "You sure? That doesn't look like a river. More like an anabranch or a billabong. I'd have to have a look to be sure."

"Either/or, Miss Geographer. Does it matter? It's water. Let's park over there and go swim." Jack parked under a large river redgum and got out. "Naked?"

"Why not? As long as you sunscreen me up. I don't want to fry."

"With pleasure." They both stripped off and Jack grabbed a tube of sunscreen. "Sorry, it's only factor 50, not super redhead strength," he said as he slowly rubbed the cream over his girlfriend's body.

"Make sure you do a good job on my boobs and my feet, please," Suze said, sighing as his fingers gently massaged her body. Jack wasn't a great looking guy, but he really knew how to please her. Not that she had anyone previously to compare with, as she wasn't a stunner either. Two ordinary uni students that had a great time together and fucked like rabbits.

They were an unlikely pair. A couple of months earlier, they had been at a wedding reception for their respective cousins and wound up together on the "unaccompanied" table - known to all as the loser lot. Very little conversation happened amongst the eight, but Susan, with the help of an open bar, finally pulled together the courage to talk with a very scared looking Jack. Eventually, as it was mid-October and Halloween ads were everywhere, they figured out they both liked slasher and monster movies, particularly the Halloween franchise. Somehow amongst the umms and errs they arranged to meet at an old theatre who was running a Halloween movie marathon, and well... Terror can be a powerful aphrodisiac. They relieved themselves of their virginity in Jack's old panel van, and just kept on going.

"There you go. My turn."

Suze nodded and quickly did Jack's face, torso and arms. She knelt to do his legs, but decided his cock needed a clean before cream. Gently squeezing his balls, she quickly bobbed her head before letting his hardening dick push deep down her throat. Digging her nails into his arse, she held him tight until she had no choice but release and breath. Continuing with the sunscreen, she said, "I expect you to do the same to me later."

"Of course. I should have thought of that before I put sunscreen down there. I love the expression on your face when I get deep inside."

"You're lucky I agreed to letting you video us, then. You'd never see my face over my fat tummy when you're doing things."

Jack kissed her head, which made her giggle. "Well, watching you when we do it is awesome. Live is the best, but rewatching us do it is so good."

"True," she said. "That close up you did of your cock going into me at the McDonalds car park with all those people walking by? So hot. I nearly come at work just thinking about it and have to go to the loo to watch it and finish myself off."

"Same. Watching your cute pink nipples pop up and listening to you getting wetter as I'm pumping is awesome. I really want to get a close up of them getting crinkly so I can watch it in slo-mo."

"You're such a pervert," Suze said with a smile, and slapped his bum. "Only if I can get one of you cumming straight up in the air. You spurt so much."

"Me a pervert? You can talk," Jack said, and slapped her breast in return. "We make a great couple, don't we? I'll set up the camera and tripod when we get home. Better than the phone."

"Ejaculation in HD. Sounds good. And if you want a good nipple rise, bring some ice. Ooo, no. Ice spray but carefully!" She gave the tip of his cock a peck, then yelled as she ran to the water, "Last one in is on the bottom."

"Hey! Not fair! Oooo, you're gonna get such a spanking!"

Suze slowed and twerked her bum at him at the edge of the water. "Promises, promises, loser."

They ran in and started splashing each other and playing games that two lovers do. Fingers explored interesting areas, tongues and teeth nibbled others. The desert sun beat down, and even getting regularly submerged didn't really cool things down.

"That's enough foreplay, Jack," gasped Suze. "I need a good hard fucking and not in the sun. It's too hot out here."

"Well, back to the van then. And I've got a pressie for you. I think you'll like it."

"Is it an air conditioner?"

"No, but I think you'll think it's pretty cool."

Jack hauled the camping gear out onto the ground and they crawled into the van, happy to be out of the sun. Jack rummaged through his duffle bag and pulled out a large box wrapped in orange and black Halloween themed paper. "Umm, here," he said and handed it to Suze with a kiss. "Hope you like it. Happy two month anniversary."

"Thanks Jack, but I didn't get you anything." Suze turned the box over in her hands. It was about the size of a wine bottle, but too light for that. The wrapping paper was also confusing. Apart from supermarkets trying to flog lollies and cheap costumes, Halloween wasn't a thing in Australia. Plus, it was over a month ago. She carefully removed the paper and stared at the box, then stared at Jack, eyebrows raised.

"Open it," he urged.

She flipped the lid and slid out a large Japanese style dragon's head and neck. Black, with crimson and gold trim on its scales, the model adult toy exuded menace and power.

"It's beautiful," Suze whispered, lightly running her fingers over the head and down the ridges on its spine. "But it's huge. It'll never fit. Where'd you get it?"

"Actually, I won it at Simon's bucks party. He had a stripper dressed as a witch who used the next size up. Well, she was sort of dressed for a short time. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but then I met you."

"So how'd you win a dildo?" she asked, watching the silicone dragon wobble hypnotically.

"Umm, she asked if there were any virgins in the audience who'd like a blowjob. Mike, you know, Simon's brother shoved me forward." Jack shrugged. "I got my cock sucked as she used one of these. Then she gave me a hug and said to keep this for my future girlfriend. And here we are."

"Huh. Did you enjoy it?"

"To be honest, no. I was so nervous and embarrassed, I didn't come. I barely even got hard." He lent forward and kissed Suze, then pulled a nipple. "You're so much better. Oh, and you'll definitely need this."

He handed over a dark green bottle, and Suze giggled uncontrollably when she read the label. "Dragon's cum. Naturally sourced lubricant. Not suitable for anthrovegans. That's so funny." She picked up the dragon and kissed its nose. "I shall call you Billadong, as a reminder of where you came to me. Or made me come. I don't know if it'll fit, but I'm sure we'll have fun trying."

Jack lay beside her and lightly ran his fingers up and down her inner thigh. "The witch, Samantha, assured me that most women could handle it. She actually prefers this one in private. The biggest one she only uses for work."

Suze sighed contentedly and gently massaged her small boobs. "That's a lot of chat for someone sucking your dick. Was she cute?"

Jack grabbed a handful of her untrimmed pubic hair and tugged. "Not as cute as you, and yes, she was very chatty. She caught up with me after she finished for the night to give me the lube. We got talking, and she offered to give me another go somewhere more private. I politely declined. Apparently she's doing a degree in accounting at Sydney Uni."

"Good answer." Suze gasped at the sharp tingle from her mound, and reached for his hard penis and squeezed, "Oh yeah, you're always so polite, even when you're trying to be bad. That's why I love being with you. Now, just hump me. You can be on top. I'm really horny and I need you now."

"Mmm. Sure." He worked two fingers into her body, marvelling at the feel, and more amazed that she was opening herself up to him. Sex was still new, sex was exciting, and sex was what they both craved. Both thought that this wonderful adventure would miss them, and they were so happy trying to catch up with their peers. He showed his sticky fingers to Suze, then licked them clean.

Sue nodded, and let her knees fall apart. "I'm so tasty, aren't I?"

Jack rolled on top of her and kissed her lips. "Oh yeah. All soft and creamy. A Suze sundae," he murmured as he slowly entered her. The heat of the day was nothing to the heat he felt inside his girlfriend. He smiled, shook his head at that previously absurd thought, and slowly humped. "All the way?"

"Mmm, please," she whispered and wrapped her arms around him, quietly huffing in response to his every push. Sue hadn't realised how frustrating using inanimate objects by herself had actually been, until the joy of having a real penis lovingly inserted made those things so - inadequate. She turned her head and smiled at the dragon glaring back. Now, with Jack's help, inserting all sorts of odd things into her vagina wasn't just an enjoyable feeling. It was absolutely hilarious at times.

"Hey, remember when you got me that cucumber dog toy and I could make it squeak?"

Jack nodded and laughed, sweat starting to run down his body. "That was so funny. I couldn't believe you could get your, umm, muscles to do that. Oh, yeah. Gonna come. Keep talking."

"You had me hold my legs back and gaped me for ages before getting Cuci in. I flinched and he squeaked! Scared the shit out of me. I'm looking forward to Billadong doing the same, without the noises."

The memory of the toy's smiling face slowly being devoured by Sue's wonderful hole tipped Jack. He gasped, "Urrg, fuck yeah!" and unloaded his substantial deposit into her. "You are so awesome."

Suze sighed happily and kissed his cheek. "Thanks, but can you please get off? I'm hot, but not in a good way."

"Yeah, no worries." Jack grabbed his shirt and tucked it under Sue's bum to catch the leaks as he pulled out. "Thank you Suze. Do you want to rest a bit, or cool off?"

"Well, I didn't come, so can you get Billadong going? I think those scales are going to be amazing."

"Ok, but here," he said and handed her a bottle of water, "I think you'd better have this."

She gratefully accepted the water and savagely scratched her mound. Everything was hot, and the area where Jack had been was now uncomfortably itchy hot. Jack noticed, and trickled some cool water over her.

"You sure you don't want to cool off?

She shook her head and stretched herself open. "Nope. I'm hot now, and I want some dragon. Please."

"Oke dokey then." Jack snapped open the lid of the lube and dribbled the snot-green liquid over Billadong. He furrowed his brow, trying to place the gel's odour. "Smell's interesting. Any idea what it is without looking at the label?"

Sue took the dildo and sniffed, her eyebrows going up. "That's real dragon sperm! Not sure about anything else, but there's definitely a hint of sulphur in there."

"Yup, plus a heap of other elements," Jack said after putting on his glasses to read the label. "Maca, ginseng, saffron and sulphur I sort of know, but the rest is a mystery. Apparently the levels are safe for ingestion. Huh," he said, taking the dildo back and rubbing it over her labia, "dragon cum is pretty chemically complex."

Suze just smiled and patted her pudenda and stretched herself. Jack took the hint and pushed the dragon in, growling and hissing as the scales made the surrounding flesh flare and retract. Sue gasped at the feeling and one hand automatically found her now prominent clit. The other was at a loss. It didn't know if it should stay holding her inner labia and pull it even wider, or maybe hold one leg back towards her head, but it finally settled on grabbing her own breast hard. She grimaced when Billadong's nose pressed hard against her cervix and she tapped her inner thigh. Jack nodded and pulled back slightly, marking the limit with his thumb.

"How's it feel?"

"We need to find that witch and thank her. This is the most awesome thing - apart from you, I've ever had inside," she gasped as the dragon moved and rolled, dragging her flesh in different directions.

"Sure looks amazing. Video?"

Sue nodded and grabbed both her thighs. Not stopping, Jack picked up his phone and aimed the camera at the point between the insertion and the insertee. Being very short sighted, clearly seeing what things looked like without glasses was impossible for her. Casting the video to a tv of what she was up to made for a fun night.

Billadong dove in and out, twisting and stretching, its sharp scales flicking her opening as it rumbled through. Ingeniously, the flared head worked against a point on her front wall, somewhere that Jack had tried to find but was never successful. Suze's back arched and she pummeled her clit with an intensity that stunned Jack. He diligently kept going, aware that Sue was probably on the edge of something extraordinary. Her face screwed up and she let out a high pitched wail before slumping back down, panting like she'd run a marathon.

"Wow." was all Jack could say as Suze quivered on the mattress. "Wow..."

She finally got her breathing under control and beamed a smile at him that lit up the van. "Yeah wow. Yeah. Wow," she murmured and rolled on her side.

Jack shuffled behind her and spooned in tight. Kissing her shoulder, he listened to her breathing become calm and regular. Before long, the frenetic burst of energy and stifling heat sent them to sleep.

===

Sue yawned and opened her eyes to see through the tail gate the sun slowly dropping to the horizon. She still tingled. The mind blowing orgasm caused by Billadong had sent her body to a point where it had to recuperate, and she was so grateful for that. All the cool girls had boasted about their earth shattering climaxes, and she thought they had been exaggerating. Now, she wasn't so sure. A fragment of an old Aussie tune floated up in her head.

"Once a shiny dildo, whose name was a Billadong

Gave me an orgasm higher than the tree..."

She grinned and placed her hand over Jack's, who managed to cup her breast while snoozing. She loved him. He was attentive without being clingy, passionate without being obnoxious, and adventurous without being reckless. He was as tall as she was short, reedy as she was Rubenesque, and loving in ways she had only dreamed of.

"Welcome back," he whispered in her ear and squeezed her boob. "Have a good nap?"

"Mmmm," she purred. "I was a bit jealous that the witch gave you your first blow job, but now I definitely want to thank her. I never ever thought I'd come so hard."

"It was pretty amazing to watch. You almost levitated off the mattress."

Sue laughed and sat up. "I was definitely floating. That was the Lindt 90% dark chocolate of orgasms. Fantastic, but not for everyday. I don't think my mind could take it." She looked out at the pool of water. "Anabranch. Water's flowing. Just slow. He's still going to be Billadong."

"Fair enough. Want to check out the current strength now?"

"Yes, then dinner. I'm really hungry for some reason."

Jack laughed, "Snags with dragon cum sauce?"

"Tempting, but no. I'll save that for Billadong."

They both dropped out of the van and sauntered, hand in hand, down to the small beach and into the water. Jack dropped underwater, pulling Suze down on top of him. She spread her legs to let his penis rub against her, and grinned when she felt him instantly harden. It wasn't an effect she ever thought she'd had on a guy. She just wasn't sexy.

Jack rotated under Suze and got her straddling his shoulders, then slowly stood. "Up boobyscope! Stop wiggling, otherwise we'll both go under again."

Suze laughed and grabbed his head, pulling it back against her crotch. "First time ever I'm taller than you. So this is what it's like to be tall." She looked around at the surrounding blur, and not for the first time wondered about using contacts. It was frustrating not being able to see anything clearly past her elbow. Something unusual in the water caught her eye, and she pointed towards it. "Hey what's that?"

He squinted where she was pointing. "Dunno. Looks like a log. It wasn't there earlier. Maybe it was stuck on the bottom?"

Suze shook her head. "No, I don't think so. I can't really see, but it's moving against the current." She fell off Jack's shoulders and headed to shore. "That's really weird, and I don't feel right. I think we'd better get back to the van."

Jack looked back at the blob and nodded. "Yeah, well, it is getting dark. Fuck... It's moving towards us. RUN!"

They scrambled towards the shore and dove into the back of the van and slammed the tailgate shut.

"What the hell is it?" Suze asked.

"You're asking me? I just saw a lump moving towards us." He anxiously stared out the rear window. "Shouldn't be any crocodiles around here. A rottweiler? A lost pet hippo? A..."

A piercing scream echoed around them, transitioning to a deep roar. The hairs on every part of their bodies stood up, and Suze started shaking. "That's not a dog. That's not a croc. That's not a..." She screamed as something slammed into the side of the van, accompanied by loud snuffling noises. "Shitshitshitfuck. Let's get out of here now."

Jack nodded, but they both screamed when the van rocked violently, the animal scrabbling wildly at the side. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?" he shouted as he launched into the driver's seat.

Another howl, and the beast heaved itself onto the bonnet, covering it completely. Horrified, Jack stared into the face of something from hell. Head like a bulldog, blazing red eyes, a mouthful of razor sharp teeth, and a pair of evil looking tusks. The odour of mud and rotting vegetation permeated the cab, making them gag. He started the van and slammed it into reverse, the thing screaming as it rolled off. It managed to get another swipe at the car before Jack found the track and sped off.

Suze, still shaking, joined him in the front. "What was that thing?" she moaned, peering in the rear view mirror. "And we left our stuff."

"I don't know, and I don't care about that. It's dangerous, and we'd better tell someone. I'm not going back!"

"Police?"

Jack shrugged, wild eyes searching for the track in the dark. "No, yeah. Maybe. I dunno. It's some sort of animal. National Parks? Ooof..." The van bottomed out as it flew over a crest and crunched down hard.

"Is it following?"

"God, I hope not. I'm cracking a hundred on these straights, so it would have to be something out of this world to keep up." He braked heavily, heaved the wheel left, and fishtailed down the highway towards the closest town, not slowing until the streetlights illuminated the road and showed the creature hadn't followed them.

Jack parked outside the unmanned police station, then turned to Suze. "You ok?"

"No. I'm going to have nightmares forever about that thing. What was it? It sort of looked like a dog, but those eyes! And the tusks!"

"No clue." He reached over the back and dragged some clothes over. "Well, I'm not getting out until daylight, but we'd better be half decent."

Sue nodded and threw on a shirt and shorts. The rest of the night they fitfully slept, every little noise around them sending them into a mild panic.

Early next morning a national parks ranger walked past towards his office, and curiously looked at their car. He stopped, stared, and knocked on the driver's window.

"Hi. Are you guys ok? That's some... Interesting damage on your van."

The pair got out, and Jack said, "Yeah. Some sort of animal attacked us. We were camping on the river..."

"Anabranch," corrected Suze.

"Whatever. I have no idea what it was. It was floating in the water and then it came charging at us. We just managed to get into the van and close the tailgate. God, it stunk."

The ranger inhaled sharply. "Geez. Better come inside. Coffee?"

"God, yes please." Jack said and followed him.

"I'm Stuart, the head ranger for this area," he said and waved them towards the tea room. "Grab a drink, and I think there's some bickies in a tin. I'll get a pen and paper and be back."

The two made their coffee and sat down at the table.

"Righto, can you describe everything that happened? When, where, what time, what were you doing, what did you see, hear and smell?" Stuart asked.

The pair described nearly everything, omitting any reference to Billadong and the lead up. Stuart bit his bottom lip and nodded slowly. "I think you two were extremely lucky. On one hand, you saw something that shouldn't logically exist, and on the other, you got away to tell the tale. And I have no idea what to do about it."

"So do you know what it was?" Suze asked.

The ranger nodded. "Yeah, I think so, but you're not going to believe it. It's known around here as the Ngatyi, further downstream it's the Tunatbah, or my people call it a Kajenprati. It's commonly known as a bunyip, the Dreamtime Guardian of the Waterways, and it looks like it's really pissed off with the world."
