Rick was still busy refining the sexualisation and pleasure programme. Harry was using the Tricia debacle as an excuse to get all of his team to re-run some of the basic operations drills. As he said, after the problems with Lady Marchmont, and now this, there was room for improvement, to say the least.

Life with Sukie and Rachel carried on much as before. Sukie seemed content in her role. Rachel had taken on the sexualisation programme with enthusiasm and her writing was better than ever.

I was trying to set up a trip to see Steve Glennis but in the mean time business carried on as usual. Clegg had been contacted by another of his chums who was looking for a more personal contact. With Brian now long out of the picture, Clegg had asked me to follow it up.

I was sitting in the Long Room at Lords. Out on the pitch the England team were 127 for 7 in the first session of the final day needing another 230 runs to avoid an innings defeat by the Australians and the loss of the Ashes. With the best will in the world it was looking like a bad day for English cricket. There was a collective groan from the crowd around the ground outside and a ripple of polite applause. 127 for 8, I assumed.

The door at the far end of the room swung open and an elderly man in wheel chair barged his way through and headed towards me. "Ross?" he asked as he pulled to a halt alongside me. I nodded. "Good he said glad you're on time. Do sit down."

He was in his late seventies I guessed wearing pale flannel trousers and a striped blazer. He wore a tie that had the air of a demented snake caught in an act of strangulation. It carried the blood and vomit stripes of the Marylebone Cricket Club.

I felt I ought to apologise for interrupting his enjoyment of the game at a crucial moment.

"Enjoyment?" he snorted. "There's more fun to be had sticking your head in a wasps nest. Completely useless bunch. No backbone. No fibre." He held his hand out. "Colonel Snell," he said, "My friends call me 'basher'. You can too."

"Unusual nickname, 'basher'. Cricket? Bit of a batsman were you? Army days? " I said.

"No," said Snell. "Before that. School days. Some of my friends seemed to think I had an inordinate fondness for the masturbatory arts. Quite right of course. It's kept me fit for the past sixty years. Can't complain can I?"

I was regretting asking. I was keen to change the subject. "Mr Clegg said you had a possible project for us."

"Yes," Basher replied, "Do you never feel a little cheated? As though your rightful legacy has been usurped by others?"

I shook my head, I really didn't have much of an idea what he was on about.

"You see this?" He pointed to a large world globe beside the case that held the tiny urn that the collective endeavours of the two teams on the field were currently directed towards. "In my youth a large part of this was coloured pink. The British Empire, young man, the British Empire. Just think, we ruled a quarter of the globe. And what thanks do we have for it now?"

I tried to look sympathetic. I wasn't at all clear what these rants had to do with the job we were being asked to take on.

"None!" He barked, prodding at the globe with his stick. "None at all. And they have the gall to beat us at our own games. Football. Cricket. Golf. All given to the world by the British. And the weak kneed government does nothing about our national teams. And to what avail? I ask you? Ha! The occasional success, perhaps, but it's the exception. Mark my words!"

The club steward was looking concerned at my guest's mistreatment of the globe.

"Never mind Barry, my young fellow, we'll show them."

"Its Larry," I said correcting him.

"Precisely. Barry. I'm no longer a young man, Barry, want to find some companionship for my old age."

In Colonial Times

In Colonial Times By Kathy Smith Peter Goldstein was an MD in family practice. He had an office in Charlottesville, VA. He was doing pure medicine, no research. He said that the joy of seeing patients is the best. He has a lovely wife, Rachelle and 3 children (8, 5, 2 years old). They are reform Jews, going to a fab synagogue about 8 miles away. He has the good life. As a hobby, he reads and gets information of early America (before 19th century started). He found fascinating...

Corporate Ambitions

Corporate Ambitions By Ashley and Sarah Prologue As I relate this account of my incredible reversal of purpose, I cannot avoid a confused mix of emotions when I realize the clarity of my own recollection. It cannot be that it was so short a time ago that my passions were focused in quite another direction. Indeed, it seems a lifetime ago when my resolve was to be what I am fond of thinking of as "the other". I was a graduating MBA, mature but still somewhat young, and...

Proxima Centauri I had done what I could, I had laid out in great detail the enemies defenses and capabilities, I had been called before the President of the Colonies and had told him the same thing, that the enemies defense and offensive capabilities far outstripped ours. I had told them all how they had wanted peace, that they claimed their was a threat to the universe from another dimension, I now was in fleet HQ and a meeting of the Admiralty, the President and key members of the...

Market Forces

Preamble : Removal Men Preamble : Removal Men Rebecca Hales was tired. It had been a long flight. She dragged her trolley bag through the front door of the flat she shared with her boyfriend. ?Larry?? she called, not really expecting him to be there. No reply. Then she saw the note on the hall table. ?Hi Hun, welcome back,? it said. ?I?m up in town tonight. Call me tomorrow when you get back, we?ll do lunch if you?re not too tired.? She looked at her watch. Half past nine. Time enough...

Market ForcesChapter 12 SWOT versus SWAT

I got back to the London offices the following day. A comfortable flight had made it easier but I was still suffering from jet lag. Still I doubted that I was feeling as rough as the packages that had been in the hold. Freddie gave me a call and suggested a meeting. He wanted an update on progress. I was happy that I had some ideas after my various trips. We agreed to meet in the board room the following afternoon. Clegg arrived on time, looking in as good humour as he usually was....

Market ForcesChapter 40 Market Research

Harry had a good laugh about my encounter with Kelly. I'd been a bit suspicious that it was a put up job but he assured me it wasn't. She was just one of the possibles that they'd had on a target list a while back. When they decided she didn't fit the customer profile they left her office on the list for possible training exercises. He seemed convincing enough about it. I didn't mind either way, it had been fun. I bumped into Freddie outside of his office. "Well," he said, "at least...

Market day

Market day....a day filled with visual stimulant and an abundance of flesh.The city usually hosts a market day at the park grounds on a monthly basis, the second Sunday of each month. I generally try to get to a couple of them a year, mainly because of the fresh produce on hand, and wall to wall skin......female skin.The town bus also runs a special day service just for the markets. In and out only once on the day, it leaves at a much earlier time of 6am sharp, returning after 6pm in the...

The Colonial Wife Ch 01

His black skin covered in sweat, glistened in the bright sunlight as he poked the spade into the heap of soil. His strong arm muscles stuck out each time he clutched the spade. I was watching him from inside the greenhouse and I was becoming weary and fuzzy just looking at him. Maybe it was the heat getting to me, maybe I felt unsatisfied, anyhow I was getting excited. He was the garden boy Michael, a handsome under 30 year old guy, who came to work for me and my husband John about 6 months...

The Colonial Period On Dacien Primaris

Thou hast answered a call by the United Federation of Civilizations for settlers to take ship for the newly discovered world of "Dacien Primaris". The United Federation of Civilizations began as a grand experiment on on world at the center of the Northern Spiral Arm of what thou, (The Reader,) wouldst know as the Andromida Galaxy. Yet, verily, not in our own universe but one close thereto, wherein magic and the arts arcana are freely sanctioned by the gods for the use of men. Not only that...

Market ForcesChapter 2 An Organisation

I looked again at the photographs. I'd often fantasised about having Rebecca like that but somehow things had never worked out that way. I handed the photographs back to Clegg. "There's only one trouble with your suggestion though," I said as I pulled an envelop from my own jacket, took out the sheet of paper within and handed it to Clegg. He peered at it and read it out laughing, "Rebecca, I'm sorry. This will be a shock but there's no easy way to say it. I think we should end it....

Teenage Ambitions

It began as a normal high school party. You know one of the who-can-get-drunk-the-quickist-makeout-fests. Being the driver for the evening I only had one or two beers and I kinda floated around from person to person being the only sober one sucks sometimes. I’m freshly 18 years old, and though I wouldn’t say I’m hot but I’m not ugly either. My only real abnormality is my penis. Almost 9 inches long and as wide as most girls fists it was one of the few things I am proud of. Unfortunately for...

Slim Ambitions

The blowjob felt incredible. I still couldn't believe it was even happening. Katie and I had been friends forever, she only lived two houses down the street from me, and we were in the same school year. We'd always been close friends, though we'd drifted apart slightly as we hit puberty and started realizing that there were differences between girls and boys, but never anything romantic, definitely not sexual, though I'd have to admit I'd started having a crush on her the moment...

The GirlsChapter 8 Gina Centrefold Ambitions

Gina had been walking home, when she had passed a newsagents. Realising that she hadn't yet purchased her week's quota of magazines, she had ducked in and picked them up. It was quite late that night when she finally got around to opening up the bag and looking at them. Cosmo, Seventeen, Teen Magazine, Playboy... "Woah!" Gina said, blinking twice in surprise. "How did that get in there?" She thought that the newsagent had looked at her strangely. Well, the money was spent now, and...

Market ForcesChapter 35 Tracking Tricia

I hated to admit it but Freddie was right. There wasn't much else I could do after I had put the flat back together again so I went in to the office as usual. I reckoned the kidnappers would find me if they had something to say. I tried to do some work on the Glennis request. I'm not a big fan of desk research, it's pretty dull to start with, but sometimes it's the only way to find out what you need to know. Normally I do this stuff to analyse markets; this time it was to look for a...

Market Research

Market Research "Confirm Order" I pressed the button on the computer screen. This was the early days of the internet when Amazon only sold books. America On-Line had online shopping for a small set of vendors. I had just ordered a pack of cotton Hanes women's panties. Just out of college and living alone for the first time, my thoughts were consumed with the idea of dressing like a woman. I was too ashamed to go into stores to purchase anything, but online no one had to know....

Market ForcesChapter 53 The Price of Friendship

I gave Freddie an update on Rachel's progress. He seemed happy. I was wondering whether he was really worried about the outcome or whether he was just keen to see me getting fully involved. Whichever was the case, the threat of violent intervention appeared to have receded. Rachel was still completing the programme. I'd called Sarah into my office. She appeared, smartly dressed as always her clearly visible collar the only real indication of her slave status, exactly on time. "Good...

Market ForcesChapter 55 Sarah Cindy

Cindy didn't spend too long in prep. The Emir wanted his new acquisitions "fresh" as he called it. That was fine by us. I'd gone down to the customer lounge to join Rick for the handover of the remaining eight of the Emir's household slaves, four house maids, three for 'entertaining' clients and his new PA. We'd got together pretty much everything he'd wanted and, of course Cindy as well. Tricia had suggested using Brian's daughters, Beth and Ella, as two of the 'entertainers', I...

There was a knock on the door, my wife,Donna, opened it and there was a man stood there saying he was a market researcher doing research on our shopping and were we available to answer some questions? My wife invited him in and he sat on the sofa and took out a laptop and began to explain about the questions.During the Q & A session, we found out he was happily married of 30 years, he was 58 years old and had been doing the job for around five years. I could see Donna had other ideas, she...

Market Research Part 3

Market Research Part 3 I sat in the food court across from Victoria's Secret and worked up my courage as I went over my plan. I'd driven to the mall thirty miles north of my town to reduce the chance anyone I knew would see me. I'd stopped along the way to pull $40 in cash from my bank account. My story was that I was purchasing a pair of panties for my girlfriend. It was Sunday morning and the mall had just opened so I hoped there would not be many other customers. I rehearsed...

Market ForcesChapter 16 A Call From The Kalinin

I was up in the Sales Centre watching another auction. Some of the women that had taken longer in orientation were now ready for market. Brian was convinced that prices were starting to rise. I still wasn't convinced. I looked around the room; it didn't look like there were too many buyers to me. I saw that the first lot onto the platform was to be Julia. I'd seen her, after she'd got over the punishments for her escape attempt, being trained to play her part in the auction. Brian was...

Market ForcesChapter 21 Bar Talk

It was the following day. Harry and I were sat in a small bar in a hotel overlooking the river. He'd been up in town for a meeting with Freddie. I felt that at least owed him a drink for helping sort out Rachel. He'd been good enough not to make too much of a joke of it around the place, too. He'd been sympathetic about what happened and gave me a bit of a lecture on not turning my back on work in progress. Nothing I didn't deserve. I wasn't going to let it happen again. It was...

Market ForcesChapter 28 Account Planning

I was in the staff bar chatting with Rick. "Just wanted to give you a bit of feed-back," I said. "The Kalinin called last night. He's as pleased as punch with the girls you set up for his councillor's project. Said they were working out really well with their new owners. He'd been a bit worried whether women of that age could be made sufficiently obedient to appeal to a Kushtian — they wouldn't want to have to bother with too much training and punishment. But it seems your...

Market ForcesChapter 39 Training Plan

With Brian and his family packed off to orientation, things started to get back to normal in the office. Business was certainly getting back on track. There seemed to be plenty going on. After the worries over Tricia it was a relief to get back to some real work. I had the project for Steve Glennis to deal. I was happy with the way the account management activities were working out generally but I needed to do some more thinking about that. Sebastian had finished the first version of the...

Market ForcesChapter 41 Kelly Girl

I suppose I was cheating on Tricia but she was still off on some collection way up country and wasn't going to be back all week. I was bored and besides I was very interested in trying to think about the market from a different perspective. Least ways, that's what I told myself. I was sitting in the coffee bar across the road from the office that I'd burglarised the week before. I don't really know what I was planning to do. Just see what happened, if anything, I guess. I watched as...

Market ForcesChapter 44 Stimulation

I'd taken on board what Harry was saying but I really hadn't decided what to do about it. If what Harry had to say hadn't been enough, the earful I got from Freddie the following day made the point even more strongly. He asked to see me in his office. When I got there Elly had evidently just finished a conversation with him. He didn't look happy. Elly just looked at me, dropped a file on Clegg's desk and said "See you later," to him She gave a nod to me but said nothing more and...

Market ForcesChapter 59 Staples Diet

Steve Glennis was extremely happy when we finally got Lady Marchmont shipped across to him. As he said, "It's taken a while but it's been worth the wait." He hadn't wasted any time in putting her to use. "Had her out on a trotting rig this afternoon," he said. She looks pretty good. Gonna take a lot of training of course, she's got a few stripes on her buttocks but she'll learn." Rachel was recovering. The Doc finally let me in to see her. She held my hand tightly when I sat down...

Market ForcesChapter 69 Conference Call

Tricia's downfall caused some consternation in the organisation for a while. Nobody likes to see a colleague suddenly taken out like that. On the other hand most people seemed to have had a belly full of having their ears bent by Tricia's constant, "Why won't they let me lead a collection?" so the general view was that she had it coming to her. Harry and Rick were pretty nervous in case Freddie came gunning for them too. After all it had been Harry's call, in the end to give Tricia the...

Market ForcesChapter 26 Web In Focus

We were in Freddie's club, expecting a dozen or so clients to turn up. I wanted to give them a briefing on the new web services to get some feed-back. I had a good session with Clegg before the clients turned up. We'd run through the arrangements for the day and he seemed very happy with the plans. "I like this idea of getting feed-back from the clients," he said. "We could spend a lot of money without having a solid foundation, otherwise." I thought I'd take the opportunity to raise...

Market ForcesChapter 52 Rachels Programme

Rachel was laying on one of the couches where I had first seen Brian's family being treated under the electro stimulation programme. She was sedated but conscious; she'd not objected when the Doctor slipped the hypodermic needle into a vein in her arm. She'd asked if Sukie could be with her for the start of the programme. We'd agreed and Sukie was sitting beside her stroking her hair. Rachel looked calm. The Doc lowered the gantry above her and took down each pair of wires in turn,...

Market ForcesChapter 56 Rachels Recovery

The whole conversation was a bit difficult, I guess you could say. Elly wanted to sort out what we were going to do about Sarah, Cindy and the Emir's PA and she recognised that Freddie wasn't doing the job that needed to be done looking after sales. I wanted to solve the Rachel and Sukie problems. Harry just sounded as though he was resenting the fact that all this was taking up time he needed to work on Ops matters. Freddie was sitting at one end of the table peering inscrutably over his...

Market ForcesChapter 68 Russian Roulette

Steve's idea sounded attractive. I could see that I could free up some time in a couple of weeks or so but I wasn't sure whether I could justify the trip. I thought I'd talk to Freddie about it first. If I had thought that Tricia getting her chance as a lead collector would improve her humour I was mistaken. She'd been as pleased as anything when she told me that Harry had said she could finally run lead on a collection. She'd been nagging him (and me) for what seemed like months. But...

Market ForcesChapter 15 Spice Racked

About a week later I needed to check the final arrangements for the All Spice collection with Harry. When I called him, Sarah answered. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised but I hadn't realised that she would be out of orientation that quickly. She set up the meeting efficiently. I could see that Harry hadn't only been interested in her for her physical attributes. When I got to Harry's office, I saw Sarah for the first time since she'd been cowering at Harry's feet after being...

Market ForcesChapter 17 Kalinins Castle

Wales was wet. From where I'd stopped the car there should have been a view of Snowdon. Instead all I could see was the Glaslyn valley and a sheet of cloud. Porthmadog was sitting sulking in the last of the winter afternoon's light at the other end of The Cob. I looked along the causeway that the road shared with the narrow gauge railway that once hauled slates down from the Ffestiniog quarries to the coast and now hauled tourists. There wasn't another car in sight. I drove on across the...

Market ForcesChapter 18 Rachels Readiness

I got back from Wales the following day and went to meet with Rachel, my script writer, at the Prep Centre. She was no longer wearing her evening gown; now she just wore a simple short black skirt and matching, low cut, sleeveless top. One strap of her top was hanging off her shoulder. She also had on the stiff leather collar and the identity tag that marked out all of those that were going through preparation. Her face looked gaunt; dark bags under her eyes testified to nights without...

Market ForcesChapter 19 Something for the weekend

The Kalinin's requirements for Council of Kushtia had been precise. Between him and his son, I was coming to understand that Kushtians were capable of developing fairly specific tastes. Luckily, I'd been able to work out how to satisfy them. I was sitting in the lounge of a comfortable 1930's style house, looking out across a perfectly manicured lawn. The rum punch on the table in front of me was completing a pleasant afternoon. I was about to be joined by Alessa Moran, which was...

Market ForcesChapter 20 Not In The Script

With the Kalinin's requirements well in hand, I had some time to spend on the video. I'd sketched out the framework for Rachel and she'd already let me have a storyboard and I'd set up to visit the Prep Centre to run through the script. I'd told them to let her have some decent clothes as long as she was behaving. When I got there I could see that she was making an effort to impress, she'd obviously been well enough behaved to keep the guards happy. Or maybe she'd been using some...

Market ForcesChapter 22 Ready For My Close Up Mr Demille

In her Prep Centre cell, Rachel was in a pretty sorry state. The guards and anyone else that felt like it had taken the opportunity presented by the "available" sign on her cell door. Someone had started chalking five bar gate counts on the wall by the door. It had reached twenty eight. As I got to her room, the Prep Centre's receptionist was emerging with a smile, clutching a strap-on dildo and a harness. "Hi, Larry," she said, "back again?" as she ticked off another stroke on the...

Market ForcesChapter 23 Couch Potatoes

The training was finished, the script was finished. The first version of the video was shot. It was time to show it to Clegg. Clegg sat back in his arm chair opposite the big video projection screen. "OK," he said, "let's see it." I sat in the chair alongside him and hit 'play' on the remote. The Clegg logo span around in the middle of the screen and then dissolved to show a helpless girl in a car boot. A girl standing with her hands chained over her head followed, then another shot...

Market ForcesChapter 24 Sebastians Web

I'd left the City offices and gone back up to the Prep Centre. I needed to talk to the IT folk about the other part of my plans. As usual there was a problem finding a parking place with Clegg Meat Products trucks all over the place. Eventually I managed to squeeze the car in and headed into the building. "I've got an appointment," I said to the receptionist. "Sebastian in IT?" "Sure," she said, punching a number into her phone. She spoke into the mouthpiece, "Seb? Visitor for...

Market ForcesChapter 25 Quest for the Questors

"The question is, can you do it?" Word, it seemed was getting around about the willingness of Clegg Enterprises to take on apparently difficult projects. Peter Hananni was the latest of a series of individuals that had appeared with a range of challenges to Clegg's research and snatch teams. "I was put on to you by a mutual friend. The Kalinin of Kushtia? He indicated that you had been able to help him out with some of his requirements." "Yes," I said. "The Kalinin is a valued...

Market ForcesChapter 27 The Abduction of Helen

With the web site launch done, I had some time to devote to the Questor's project. I know I shouldn't really go on operations but it's hard to resist the adrenalin rush and besides, Freddie and Harry both seemed happy that I was getting involved. "Just as long as there are no vodka bottles around," said Harry with a smirk. Plus, of course, Hannani had been keen for me to handle things personally and the customer is always right. I've always liked the Ashmolean Museum. Not a lot of...

Market ForcesChapter 29 Lost in Translation

I rolled over in bed. Tricia smiled. "I'm sorry you're going off to Kushtia. Why couldn't they send that unpleasant shit, Brian?" "Brian?" I said, "What's with him? I know he hasn't been happy with what I've been up to but he could make it easier on himself if he just saw which way the wind was blowing. His sales numbers have been hopelessly optimistic for months according to Freddie. Even normally discreet Elly has been getting impatient with him." "Oh, this wasn't...

Market ForcesChapter 30 On The Road Again

I spent most of the following morning at the hotel, talking on the phone to Freddie. He wasn't keen on a pick up without doing a proper background check first but he did want to help out the Minister. In the end we agreed to go ahead. I took a short call from the Minister. He'd just wanted to check that I'd understood his point of view from our previous meeting. I had. Did I think I could provide a solution. I did. Would it help if he got me some assistance from the Interior Ministry? I...

Market ForcesChapter 31 Emmas Contribution

The hospitality of the Kalinin's son was proving very agreeable. Emma joined me in one of the large bedrooms. She was sprawled on the canopied bed when I emerged from the shower. She was wearing a stylised, emerald green, version of the Kushtian national costume, a beaded and jewelled bodice that left her midriff bare with a long panelled skirt split to the hip so as to reveal her legs as she rolled across the bed. She grinned as my towel slipped from my hips. "Excellent," she said, "I...

Market ForcesChapter 32 Trade Ministry

"Minister," I said, nursing a hangover from a great deal too much Kushtian beer and probably an excess of unaccustomed exercise with Ekrana and Emma. "I hope you won't think me rude if I do not stay long; especially after your generosity with your secretary. My flight leaves shortly and much though I have enjoyed my visit here I must return to England if I am to put in hand the preparations for implementing our agreement." "Of course, of course," the Trade Minister replied. "I just...

Market ForcesChapter 33 Back To Earth

The Air Kushtia return flight wasn't much better than the flight out. I emerged from the Arrivals Channel in Heathrow Terminal 3 to see Harry waiting. "Hi," I said. He grunted, "I was your wet nurse, now I'm your babysitter. Clegg thought you might need a lift." "Well thanks. I'm sure I'm fine," I responded. Harry grabbed one of my bags. "Not with your track record. Anyway you need to be in the Whitechapel office." He pointed to a car parked outside the terminal. I got in the...
