Jeff and Jeremy were sitting in the living room as Jeff tried to explain what an Alpha was. Jeremy didn't understand how Jeff could possibly know that he (Jeremy) was an Alpha, but Jeff's explanation didn't convince Jeremy at all. Shaking his head, "No disrespect, but I don't think I'm one of those, whoever or whatever they are. There's nothing particularly different about me, at least not that I've noticed. I've had enough martial arts training to defend myself. I made decent grades in high school, and I've made better ones in college, but I'm a long way from being a genius. I had a girlfriend dump me for my so-called best friend. I never got much past first base with her, but he got in her pants easily enough. In no time, she had moved in with him. She surely didn't act as if I were anything special."
Jeff, not dissuaded at all, grinned over at the young man next to him as they sat near each other. "And Denise and Connie?"
"Uh, well, they're different..."
"They look like women to me," Jeff teased. "Darned good-looking ones, I might add."
"Yeah, but ... I mean; we're just living together because of our finances. Well ... we have made out a little..." he said, winding down as he remembered how both women had kissed him and pressed their braless breasts against him. He had sucked their nipples and they had both had orgasms. He thought that either of them would have slept with him if he had pushed — well, maybe they would have. But I don't want to hurt them. If I choose one, I'll hurt the other one, won't I?
"Why don't you three spend the night with us? It's obvious we have plenty of room." And I'll come visit with Little One. By morning, you'll feel better than you ever have in your life, Jeff concluded to himself.
Jeremy sat stunned for a moment. Spend the night with these rich people? Why would he want us to do that? But I can't afford to piss him off. We've got to do everything we can to get either him or Mr. Henson to buy our company. I know the Hensons have a big construction outfit, and his job offer has cut way back on the stress, but I want to keep doing what I'm doing, and Connie would surely have to take a pay cut unless Mr. Henson has a crane operator's job open. But then again, we know he hasn't because he said the jobs would be entry level. It isn't fair for Connie to start over again. Surely the Henson's have the money to buy our outfit, or could borrow it through their company. Our company is certain to be a money maker. They've got to see it would be a good investment. From the looks of this ... place, Mr. Matthews surely has the money, but now he's talking about Alphas. I'm not an Alpha, whatever that really is. How could he possibly sense something like that, anyway? Maybe he's somehow testing me. But I'm not going to pretend to be something that I'm not.
"Jeff?" Diana called from the doorway. As the Prime turned to look at her, she motioned to him. Her face was flushed with only partially concealed anger.
"Be back in a sec, Jeremy. Diana wants something," the Prime said, getting up.
Jeremy nodded absently, his mind locked on his own worries.
When Jeff got to her, the Queen grabbed his hand and hurried him down the hall far enough to be out of earshot. "This block thing has got to go," she hissed out. "Oh, I had Connie pour some warm salt water through her eye. She was skeptical at first, but she tried it. She said her eye felt better afterward..."
"Did she say what happened about the eye?"
"Yes, but I don't have the whole story yet. But that isn't what I want to talk to you about," she said, determined to get back on topic. "I was explaining to Denise and Connie what an Alpha is, and I must have tried to say something that was prohibited. I got a little pissed and pushed it. I darn near had to run to the bathroom to throw up. They probably think I'm pregnant and having morning sickness or something. That, or else they think I'm a total fruitcake because of the way I acted. That thing shut me down in mid-word," she muttered. "You had Little One get rid of your block; I need mine removed as well."
"Di, I can't have Little One do that without the General's permission. I gave my word," he quietly answered.
Diana bit back a response, took a breath and continued, "Okay. I understand, but ... I want you to ask him, and I want you to make an honest effort when you do. It's not as if I'm going to tell anyone our secrets. You say that Jeremy is an Alpha. Well, his mates need to know what an Alpha is, right? Why do I have to wait until Little One enhances them and we use the block on them?"
"Mates? What have they told you? Jeremy indicated that they haven't had sex."
"Told me? They didn't have to tell me anything. It's obvious they're head over heels in love with him. But yes, they've also told me they haven't done anything. But they're a little older than he is and they're all upset that they will hold him back, whatever that means? But they're also willing to be his women until he finds someone his own age. And, yeah, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but they love him enough to do just that, I think."
"Okay, Baby, I'll ask the General, but no promises. I don't think he was too pleased when I told him I had circumvented my blocks, but he trusts me and also knows I have every reason to keep things secret."
" ... and you're a Prime and there's not a whole lot he can do about it," Diana finished for him. Before Jeff could object, she went on, "I'm your Queen. Sometimes I need to say a little more than I can with this crappy block in place. That's all I ask, just enough to allow me a little leeway."
"I'll talk to him and see what he says. Changing the subject, I've also asked Jeremy to spend the night. Uh, Jeremy and his women, of course."
Diana kissed his cheek. "So you can use the Healer on them? Good. I'll mention the overnight to the women. We should be able to find something for them to do this afternoon to pass the time. Oh, and we'll have lunch ready in thirty minutes." A quick, hard kiss, a swish of her sexy ass, and she turned back toward the kitchen.
Jeff had just regained his seat in the living room when Dave and Evie walked back in and sat. "We have a budding Alpha," Jeff said as he nodded to Jeremy.
Dave grinned over at Jeremy. "Well, congratulations. Evie and I thought you were special."
Jeremy couldn't think of anything intelligent to say, and rather than make a fool of himself, just smiled back — albeit, the smile was a bit tenuous.
Evie let out her sexy little giggle. "Those two you brought with you are a strong argument that says you might be an Alpha. Both are even a little older than you, yet you have attracted them."
Jeremy's face flushed red. "We're just good friends."
Jeff, Dave and Evie all smiled knowingly at each other, then Dave turned to Jeff. "Lee gave us Mr. Jackson's number and we called. His wife wouldn't let me talk to him until I told her that we were interested in buying the construction company. Even then, she stayed on the line. I set up a meeting with him — well, them — Monday at nine o'clock. His wife made it very clear that the discussion would be low key and her husband was not to be stressed in any way or she would end the meeting permanently."
"Man, that doesn't sound like Jackson," Jeremy said. "He had his hands into everything, and he worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. At least that's what Lee told me, and often Mr. Jackson would still be at the office when we came in late from a jobsite."
Jeff's face became serious. "Our legal people are going to have to inspect his books at some point, if this is going to fly."
"Ahead of you. Evie and I have already talked to the attorney and the accountant. They're set to go as soon as we talk with Jackson."
"But it's Saturday..." Jeremy started before his mind caught up and he figured it out. These two got in touch with an attorney and an accountant on a Saturday morning. I had to wait a week to get an appointment with an attorney. I guess money does talk.
Jeff basically knew what Jeremy was thinking and fought back a grin. I wonder what he would think of Frank's version of having an attorney and accountant to hand is? He just takes a couple of each with him when he thinks they might be needed. You can bet he has at least one of each waiting in Midville for him right now.
"Come and get it before we throw it out," Arlene announced over the PA.
Jeff came to his feet. "Let's wash up and see what the women have prepared for us."
A couple of minutes later, they had finished washing their hands. As they walked down the hall, "We usually just eat in the kitchen at the big table, unless there are too many of us, or the women decide to use one of the dining rooms."
"Sounds good to me," Jeremy replied as Jeff pushed the door open for him.
Inside the kitchen, Denise and Connie smiled almost timidly at Jeremy, then came over and stood by him. He put his arms around them and pulled them against his sides, all of them facing Jeff. The faces of the two women were flushed, but they held their heads high and smiled.
Diana's touch, Jeff thought as he noticed the change, but Connie's cheek looks a little more swollen and it's starting to discolor more. She's going to have a shiner before the day is out. "You guys ready to eat?" he asked.
"You bet," Jeremy answered for all of them. It's hard to not like these people, he thought as Jennie and Melissa ushered the three to the steam table. As they were loading their plates a few minutes later, Jennie reached past Jeremy to add more creamed potatoes to his plate. "Alphas eat a lot, that's the reason the plate is so big. Don't be bashful. Our husband will eat three times as much as you have on your plate."
When they sat, they all joined hands while Jeff said a short prayer of thanks. Mom would like these people, Jeremy thought.
MIDVILLE, WYOMING
At the small, mostly-deserted airport a few miles from town, the helicopter slowly sank to the pad near a decrepit-looking concrete block building. Jill called out, pointing through one of the copter's windows to a couple standing near an older car, "There! There they are."
Three new-looking SUVs were parked side-by-side a little farther away.
As soon as the blades came to a stop, Jill was out the door and running toward the preacher and his wife. She slammed into the two with tears of joy already streaming down her face. "When I left here, I never thought I would live to see you two again," she choked out as she struggled to hug both of them at the same time. Soon, even the preacher's eyes were moist.
She turned partially toward the helicopter, pointing, "That's my husband in the pilot's seat. He'll be here in a minute. How have you been? Is everything okay?" Without giving them time to answer, she motioned to Kathy, who was nearing them.
"This is my ... sister-wife, Kathy."
Jill had, of course, told them on the phone about Kathy, but Jill was still a little worried. She need not have been. Megan (the preacher's wife) didn't seem to even bat an eye, being a pastor's wife for many years and having become accustomed to the peculiarities of families, but Luther got a hand out before she could. "Welcome, Kathy. I'm Luther Cambridge, and this is my wife Megan."
Two of the men from the group near the SUVs, jogged over to the helicopter to help with the luggage as Bill and Clarence Reed put it on the pavement by the copter.
The men took the luggage, putting three cases into one SUV while the rest of the luggage went into another of the SUVs. Bill, the copter secured and the luggage taken care of, walked over.
"And this great looking guy is our husband, Bill."
Bill stuck out his hand to grasp the preacher's, tightly. "We've talked on the phone, and I've thanked you for what the two of you did, but Sir, and Ma'am, again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jill would not have made it without the help the two of you gave her. What's mine is yours and always will be."
"We're so glad we could help in our small way," Megan said, "and goodness, but you surely do look in the best of health now," she finished, the last directed to Jill.
"Frank, you guys come on over," Bill called out, waving to Wainwright, Margaret and Tina who had remained standing near the helicopter to give Jill and her family time alone with the pastor and his wife.
Ray Tingle, Wainwright's second in command is Chief Executive Officer now that Margaret and Frank were spending so much time away from the business, stood by one of the SUVs. Others stood waiting for Frank and Margaret, but somehow they didn't seem interested in looking directly at them, but rather seemed to very subtly scan the area, instead. The driver of the last SUV got out to help with the luggage, then stood by his vehicle.
This story illustrates a risk of sex under hypnosis. It could be called rape. This story builds on ‘Arlene Gets Hypnotized,’ my previous story. * * * * * I was sitting in my office at the University when Arlene walked into my open office. ‘Professor, are you busy?’ I probably was, but Arlene was a delight to look at and to have around. Especially to a 58 year old psychology professor who was pretty much reduced to dreaming about what had been and might have been. ‘Well, I was deep in...
At eight on the dot, he carried a laughing Jennie into an instantly quiet kitchen. Still in his arms, Jennie kissed him. Turning to the other wives, she gave the proclamation, "I'm full of come," then followed with, "but ... I'm broken." That started the usual scramble, but they had the pussy cream in the kitchen this time, and Jeff insisted that he carry her to the hot tub. He kissed her tenderly, then was shooed away by Diana, who kissed him and whispered. "That glow on her face...
The Retreat Arlene and Ann finally managed to get Jeff reasonably alone for a couple of minutes. After kissing him passionately, Arlene transferred Little One to the Prime’s shoulder, where she made her way under his collar to her usual resting place spread across his back. As soon as she had settled in, he told her how much he loved and missed her before giving her a brief account of the trip. Little One told him how much she missed him and shared the happenings in Germany. All of this was...
THE RETREAT: LATE THURSDAY NIGHT Arlene and Selina sat on Selina's bed, their backs propped against pillows as they played with Billy. Arlene slid her hand back and forth under the sheet as Billy pretended to stalk a terribly dangerous prey. He held his body and his head very close to the bed, occasionally lifting his head slightly to peek at his target, the tip of his tail twitching continuously. Then, he would jump as high as he could, coming down on Arlene's hand, tussling with it...
A shaking of Ann's shoulder accompanied a discordant buzz from her watch. "Plebe, you have thirty minutes to shower, dress and get to your first class. You don't have time for breakfast today, so ask the AI for a couple of energy bars." Ann, bleary-eyed, shut her alarm off and swung her legs out of her bed as the Class Lieutenant, already immaculately clad in her uniform, stepped back to give the smaller girl room to stand. "Thanks, Arlene," Ann mumbled as she came to her feet and...
The Mission Hours later, Arlene and Ann, tired, eased to the edge of a high rock bluff overlooking the massive power station in the distance. “Well, they sure don’t bother to conserve energy, at least with their lights,” Arlene sarcastically remarked as they stared at the brilliantly lit station. Worried that they might be discovered, both young women had employed their sensors over the edge to gather information before proceeding with their mission. “Just how are we supposed to get from...
The women had pushed the two kitchen tables together. Frank Wainwright stood looking at them as Jeff, Kayla, and Diana came in. "We either need to get a bigger table in here, or start eating in the dining room." "Bigger table," Jeff and Diana said at almost the same time. "The dining room is too formal," Diana continued. "We want to be a family, and with all of us for three meals a day, it's a lot easier to serve in here than taking the food into the dining room. The kitchen is...
Ship ...”We were still here all the time?” Kathy got out with amazement. “Ann told me that Ship’s training was very realistic, but this is beyond...” she finished as her voice trailed off. Bill automatically put an arm about his wife as he cast a look around the room. “Arlene and Ann had something they needed to do, but they will meet you in the lounge,” Ship told them. Bill, Kathy, Arlene Ann and the two crews that had flown the training mission with them were all sitting around a big...
During breakfast in the dining room, Diana stood and tapped a spoon on her orange juice glass. When the room quieted, "Most of you already know, but for the ones who don't, Frank, Margaret, Tina, Bill, Kathy and Jill will be back from the island this morning. Margaret called me late yesterday from their hotel suite in Los Angeles. She said they were anxious to get home and would leave really early for the last leg of their trip back. I would appreciate it if all of those of us who will be...
The Retreat ... The Sheriff and his family had left. Jeff and Joe Martin were sitting in the living room talking while the women had gone somewhere, probably to the bathroom. “So, how’s the honeymoon going?” Jeff, at a loss for a topic, asked uncomfortably, not wanting to get into the subject that he thought Arlene should take care of. “Great. I’m still amazed that she actually married me. Sir, the woman brought some polish along and polished her wedding ring – a brand-new wedding ring. I...
... Ann raised a foot from the muck to shake off something that wiggled and flopped about as it tried to use its teeth and suckers on the near-impervious suit. But the skin suit sluffed off the creature’s actions without much notice, and she stomped it into the muck. A few minutes later, they were out of the water and on a long peninsula of muddy land that extended partway through the swamp. Tired, the two stopped for a breather. Turning, Ann started to make a comment, but instead screamed...
... Ann looked at the screen in front of her. “See that?” “Yeah,” Arlene said with a sigh. “Continental shelf. Our world is going shallow. We’re almost there.” “Chances are that very shortly we’re going to be brain dead for real,” Ann quietly said as she began yet another check of their systems. A few minutes later, they came to a halt in water no more than fifty feet deep. “I don’t see any signs of our intruder on my screen. How about yours?” Ann shook her head, then realized that...
Jeff had gotten a bid from the dealer on the Internet and there wasn't a salesman involved. The sales manager handled the business. "How long to prep the black one?" The manager grinned. "After I talked with you on the phone, I went ahead and prepped it, just in case. All I have to do is gas it up and it will be ready." "Fine. Do it, and we'll get the paperwork out of the way." A little later, the paperwork was done, and Jeff swiped his debit card. The sales manager seemed to...
Diana came back with a washcloth and helped her mother put it between her legs, and also helped her get her panties and shorts back on. Susan was still mostly out of it, her motions and actions slow and somewhat uncoordinated. "You really blew her away," Diana said to her husband as she sat and pulled her mother into her arms. "She really blew me away, too," Jeff said as he touched Susan's cheek. "I was aware enough to support most of my weight on my forearms, but all I wanted to do...
In the hallway, Susan threw a load of wet towels on the cart, then a moment later came back out of the suite with the vacuum cleaner she had been using. Muttering to herself, her face red, she hung the vacuum on the side of the cart and started for the next suite. "What's wrong, Meemi?" Arlene asked as she caught up to her grandmother. "Two people. Two people in there and they used up all the towels we left for them, plus extras that they demanded last night at 9:00 o'clock, then they...
... Jeff had also heard the door close, and shoved Helen into Diana's arms, causing Diana to stagger, Laura grabbing Helen to help. He pulled his .45 from his waistband and started down the hall, but even as he did so, he saw Arlene at the intersection of the hallways and knew he was too late. Jeff figured one of the mercenaries had to be in the hallway, and was probably doing the same thing Arlene was. (Slicing the pie at the intersection.) He also knew he would never make the...
The Retreat Diana frowned prettily. “That reminds me. We need to go back to 2214 to see if Jasmine and her sister-wives have caught up with their canning yet. We should do that tomorrow.” “Yep. And they need to get back into training as soon as possible too, but we can’t leave to visit them until the Sergeant and his crew have completed their investigation.” “So, how long will that take?” “As long as it takes,” Jeff responded to her frustration. “Look, Sergeant Higgins is in charge of the...
Diana parked in front of the art supply store. Hope, sitting in the second seat with Ann, started to open her door, but Ann put out a restraining hand. "Let Security do their thing first." "Are we really in that much danger?" Diana spoke up from the driver's seat. "We didn't go into details when we told you about the attack, and no, we don't expect it to happen again, but we didn't expect that attack, either. And, yeah, it's an irritant having to have Security everywhere we go,...
When they parked in the back, the door of the Retreat opened and all Jeff's younger wives, who had stayed home, came hurrying out accompanied by Selina. As Hope and Arlene exited the SUV with the puppies snuggled under their coats, Arlene pointed to an area just past the pavement near the side of the Retreat. "Mrs. Kimbrel said we should walk them as soon as we got home," Arlene told the others as she and Hope opened their coats enough to give everyone a peek at the baby...
The Retreat ... The young wives looked at each other before Arlene turned to her husband. “As per your orders, I’m continuing to schedule crews for patrol missions. Of course...” “But that’s not where you just came from,” Jeff interrupted to say. The two young women exchanged a look. “We might as well tell him and get it over with,” Ann said. Arlene stared at her partner, then with a sigh, agreed, but as she opened her mouth, Ann began to speak. “We know that the General has made every...
Hope held one of the outfits up as she repressed a giggle. "Dogs can see color, can't they?" Arlene grabbed Spike, who had apparently figured things out and was sneaking off. "Oh, no you don't, Big Boy. You get to try on your new snowsuit." Then answering Hope's question, "They can see colors, but I've read that the colors they see probably aren't as intense to dogs as they are to humans. They have fewer cones in their eyes, and humans have several different types of cones that...
... Arlene motioned to their forward screen and the rippling, wavering, blurry image there. “I can’t see worth a shit because of the burning atmosphere, and the sensors have packed up from the heat. But I think I’ll go to full shields right about...” A geyser shot hundreds of feet into the air as the craft hit the water with a sound that could be heard many, many miles away. Even at full shields, some of the shock bled through and, had it not been for the gravity field of their seats,...

Laura woke him the usual way, and she almost went too far. When Jeff grunted and his cock started to swell, she jerked her mouth off. It was a near thing for a few seconds. "I guess I almost went off while I was still asleep," he groaned. "Wow, I'm really horny." "Sorry, Jeff. You usually go forever. I wouldn't mess it up for Diana for the world." "It wasn't your fault," he said, finally regaining control. "It's just the stress of the day. Of course, I've had two of those damn...
In their bedroom, dressed in pajamas, the girls flopped into bed. Terry grabbed the remote and dialed the lights down, then turned to her sister. "Arlene said that we wouldn't have any more periods until Little One turns them on for us again. Boy, I can sure live with that." Alice got a look on her face and responded, "Well, as you know, I've only had one, but it sure was icky – not to say anything about worrying if I were bleeding to death. If that's what it takes to be a woman, I...
Jeff and his women had showered and were in bed only moments when Ship announced that Arlene's scout was minutes away. Since the family was still using their suite on the Ship, they were quickly dressed – well partially anyway – and waiting for Arlene as she maneuvered her scout through the outer bay door and onto the flight deck. She didn't go all the way to the scout's bay though, but stopped in front of her family. An instant after the scout came to a halt, its belly hatch opened and...
The Waterfall Campsite ... Dessie straightened up and stared at Ann. “I have eaten pheasant, fish and rabbit until they’re practically coming out my ears. I’ve had MREs while backpacking and wasn’t in love with them all that much, but I think I would love some now, no matter what the meal consists of.” “We have an assortment. I noticed a Brisket Entreé, Chicken something or other, and a Beef Stew, with whatever goes with them, and several more besides. We just grabbed some at random in...
JUST OUTSIDE A SMALL NORTHWESTERN TOWN Once again Nichols sat worrying in front of his boss' elegant desk. Rich, wealthy, words don't describe the extreme category the older man fit into. Nor can you describe how evil this man is either, Nichols thought, his face devoid of expression as he waited for Mr. Moreau to end his phone call. Nichols dreaded that. When the call ended, Moreau would ask questions that Nichols didn't have acceptable answers to. The town council members think Moreau...
Jeff, Diana, Dave and Evie sat in the living room, waiting. When the phone rang, Diana checked the caller ID and answered. "Glad you guys are back." "Diana, I..." The voice chopped off, then Carla cleared her throat and tried again. "Diana, our dreams..." Carla's voice stopped again, to be replaced by quiet sobs of joy. "I can't..." "You just did," Diana said softly. "You're on speaker, so all of us can hear you. Jeff, Dave and Evie are here with me and listening. And, you're...
...”See that tree that has the broken limb hanging down?” “Yes,” Aiko gasped out. “We’ll jog to it, then we will walk for a hundred steps.” “I don’t know...” “Yes, you do. You know you can. I’ll bet it’s even less than a hundred steps. Let’s count them,” she finished as she began counting their steps aloud while they slow-jogged. Soon Aiko added her voice. “Ninety-two. Told you it was less than a hundred. Now we’ll walk for a hundred steps, and rested or not, we will jog starting at...
The Retreat As Charlotte and Diana sat at the bar in the kitchen watching the other women, Selina stopped by. "Want to help?" the little genius asked the young woman. Worried, Charlotte answered, "Everything is happening so fast that I barely know what's going on." "Oh, you will get used to that," Selina said as she reached for Charlotte's hand. "Well, I'll be glad to help if I can." Charlotte glanced at Diana, who nodded with a smile. "No better way than to just dive...
They were high up and soon over the ocean, having left the continent behind. They passed the terminator and continued into night, still headed west, the myriad lights of the cities twinkling as the Earth seemed to slowly spin below. But before the view could become boring – if it ever could -- the horizon seemed to shift downward on the big screen as the Ship gradually pointed her nose away from the planet, the full moon drifting down toward the center of the viewscreen. There was a...
Jeff met with Kei, Edi and Alesha on the updated design that they were working on for the new ski lodge, then stopped off in the living room to watch the late news before eventually winding up in his suite. After a shower where he "played" with Jennie and Melissa, he walked into a strangely quiet bedroom. Looking around, he began to wonder. "What?" he asked, then suddenly it hit him, "Where's Ann?" Arlene caught his eye. "We've looked for her, and she's not anywhere in the Retreat....
The Castle ...”Certainly,” Arlene responded, “but please don’t either of you touch it. The AI can become quite persnickety, and he has the means to back up his displeasure.” “You have a functioning artificial intelligence?” Karl asked. “Please don’t mention it around him. I think he is trying to find a way to become a citizen,” Arlene returned with a chuckle. “Uh, I won’t,” Karl responded, not quite sure if Arlene were kidding or not. Both Karl and Fischer thanked Arlene and hurried off...
Jeff had stopped by his office to pick up a few pieces of printer paper. Alone in the living room a couple of minutes later, he wadded up a sheet of the paper into a loose ball. If I screw up with this paper ball, air resistance, if nothing else, should keep its flight slow enough to prevent me from tearing up things. With Arlene's encouragement while on the Ship's range, he had gained a small measure of expertise as he mentally moved a steel ball around and caused it to spin, but he still...
The Mission ... Both were tempted to use their suits’ drive units, but they knew that would alert the Throme if anything would. Scrambling down, they were soon in the water. A hundred meters out, they saw a glint of movement coming toward them just under the surface. “Let’s go home,” Arlene said to her partner. As soon as the hatch closed and even before they were out of the airlock, the AI had them moving away from land. “Oh, I so want to get out of this suit,” Arlene grumped a few...
The Retreat Shortly after lunch, Arlene went out to the Ship expecting to sit in one of the command couches and be swept away by the simulator to another very realistic space battle, but she froze as soon as she passed through the hatch. Jeff had called Kayla and Art to his office, intending to ask them to begin training in the Ship's simulator. Before he could begin, the AI turned the TV on to show Arlene jogging back from the Ship. The AI didn't say anything, but apparently thought...
The Retreat After breakfast, Arlene, Ann and Selina gathered enough food to last them the rest of the day. “Should this not be the correct castle and we continue the search, we will need something to drink with our lunch,” Selina said as she opened a refrigerator. “There is water available at each station on the interceptor. As for soft drinks, please bring only what you are sure you will drink. Storage space is at a premium,” Arlene told the seven-year-old. “Bathroom?” Selina asked as...
Jeff had just dialed his next door neighbor who lived a mile down the road. "Steve Sperman here." "Hi Mr. Sperman. This is Jeff. How's it going?" "Hmmm. Didn't we have a discussion about that Mr. thing?" Jeff chuckled. "Yeah, I guess we did, Steve. How's Marcie doing?" There was a hesitation. "You know, that's a funny thing, like I mentioned before. Seems like after the night we spent at your place, ol' Uncle Arthur (arthritis) suddenly got much better. Odd that both of us...
The Prison Planet Ship had received permission from her Prime to go back to Earth long enough to pick up Arlene, Ann and the other aviators, then take the Wing to orbit for its launch. The trip to Earth and back would only take a few minutes. Giving the interceptors a ride to orbit and their launch would take only a few minutes more. The interceptors normally remained in their bays on Ship’s flight deck, so she would have to go back anyway. Also, she would have to return to Earth again when...
Deep Space "Question is, are they going to notice us?" Ann asked as she watched as one of the alien vessels came from behind a large chunk of moon and headed straight for them. Ann knew she could not warp out without her drive trying to take some of the debris field with them, which would probably result in the destruction of her warp drive, and/or her ship. In addition, she strongly suspected that the aliens would pick up her inertialess drive's signature, should she use that with them...
“Despite our AIs actually doing the flying, I want every pilot to have his or her hands on the controls at all times when we do this for real, and when we practice as well. Ann and I have put together a rough outline. Everything seems to work in the simulation, but we haven’t done it for real yet. There could very well be glaring errors that only show up when actually flying the patterns. Bottom line: be careful and think about what the next step is. Does the current process make sense with...
When they left the suite a few minutes later, they saw Melissa at the far end of the hall. She seemed to do a double-take, then turned and rushed around the corner, probably heading for the kitchen. A little later, when they walked through the door, she was already setting out two more plates. Jeff pulled Ann tighter against him, and they stopped just inside the kitchen. I know Ann is blushing. Damn, I thought I was too old to blush, but my face feels like it’s on fire. Everyone was seated...
EARLIER IN THE MORNING AT QUINTON TATE'S HOME After his morning shower, Quinton, dressed in his uniform and still buckling on his gun belt, walked into the kitchen. Before he could sit down, the phone rang. "Quinton," he said, putting the instrument to his ear as he finished securing the belt with the keepers. "Well, good morning. Are you planning to go somewhere on your little impromptu vacation?" his Captain asked, cheerily – a little too cheerily. "What vacation?" Quinton joked...
"We still have a problem," Diana said. "I doubt if Billy has ever used a litter box. So how are we going to train him to use it and not pee on the carpet? Since there aren't any pet stores in Winter Park, I guess we can order a kennel on the Internet and have it overnighted, but as late as it is, it will still be day after tomorrow before it gets here..." "Yeah, we were lucky the grocery store even had litter boxes. But we're ahead of you about the kennel," Jeff said. "Arlene had an...
The Retreat ... Charlotte and Ada sat for a moment as Diana's words sank in. Both mother and daughter were clearly skeptical as they furtively glanced at the other three women. Diana let out a chuckle. "You can say it; we won't get mad." Ada hesitated. "This is no joke? You're actually telling us that Susan is your mother and Arlene is your daughter?" "Got it in one," Diana said with a grin. "But..." Ada began. Then, after studying Susan's and Arlene's faces some more, she...
Jeff sat in his usual place at the head of the table. Frank Wainwright sat to Jeff's right as the family (minus four who were eating with Margaret and Tina in their suite) ate lunch. All the Alphas ate a lot, and Jeff usually ate more than most of them, but today, he was hungrier than usual. He had gone through his first plate and was already started on his second one. "Looks like you're a bit hungry today," Frank tactfully said. "I didn't see you after breakfast. What did you do to...
Joyce, Caitlin, Jennie, Melissa and Ann came in with the latter two pushing serving carts. Soon, the table was set and food arrayed in front of Arlene, Diana, Susan and Jeff. The wives' efficiency was not lost on Susan, but she refused to acknowledge it due to her sour mood. Each time she had talked to her daughter or granddaughter on the phone lately, her suspicions that something was going on had increased. Then the introductions in the living room were almost more than she could...
Everyone except Matt and Courtney was waiting in the living room. The new SAC and his wife had borrowed an Escalade and driven down to Winter Park. "HELICOPTER APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH. SECURITY HAS CLEARED IT TO LAND ON OUR PAD." Margaret had called earlier to say that everything had gone without a hitch and they were on the way home, but Angel had been beaten and was in need of medical attention. "Let's go," Jeff said as he started out the door of the living room with Little One...
Aboard Ship, Arlene, Ann and Selina are teaching the Morales family how to field strip, clean and reassemble a pulse rifle. ...”Very good, Mr. Morales. That’s a whole lot better than I did the first time,” Arlene blatantly lied. “Okay, Jasmine, do you know what’s next?” “Well, I did until you scrambled the parts,” Jasmine said with a chuckle, “but I think it’s that thing over there — a modulator, I believe you called it.” And the process went on. The next time they field stripped the...
The Prison Planet As the group neared the second area that was obstructed by boulders, Jeff said with a sigh, “Sorry, Ladies, but I still have a headache from moving the last bunch. No way am I going to play bulldozer just now.” “It’s getting colder in here,” Tosha said as she zipped her jacket, took her gloves out of a pocket and pulled them on. “Is it just me, or is the path sloping downward more?” Kei asked as she and the others followed suit – other than Jeff, who only zipped his light...
Kayla very briefly told everyone what had happened. Just as she was finishing up, Sheriff Tate, who had been eating with the team, walked into the hallway to chat with the others. "I helped the guys move the bodies out. We found a roll of black plastic in the basement and covered the pile of them." "That piece of plastic over there on the floor," Jill said, motioning down the hallway near the theater door, "is that where one of them..." "Yeah," Kayla said. "General Whitworth has a...
As everyone walked down the hall toward the theater, Selina hung back. When Diana turned and caught her eye, Selina, with purpose, walked on past, turned the corner and went on to her suite. If I do not ask, then the answer cannot be no, she thought. Waiting four minutes by her internal clock, she walked back out of her suite, down the hall and peeked around the corner in the direction of the theater. There was no one in the hallway. Shortly, she slowly opened the theater door the tiniest...
With the Alphas at Security headquarters studying the pulse rifle and the women apparently all in the basement, Jeff wandered through the Retreat at a loss as to what he should be doing. Deciding he would work in his lab to pass the time, he returned to the basement. Poking his head in one of the rooms, he got a smile from Kayla who was leading an exercise class – push-ups for the moment. His position allowed him a view of erect nipples on several of his wives, and a couple of the other...

Arlene grabbed Jeff's hand. "Come on, Daddy. Let's go back to our suite. Mom and Selina will be back ... uh sometime." Jeff frowned as he turned back to the others, "Yeah, that's what I'm worried about – the sometime. It's not like Diana to run off like that." Laura put her arm around his waist to get him started toward their suite. "Well, you were the one who kept pushing Diana to go through the academy. I have been through only the first six months there, but all that discipline...
Bobby put her hands on her face and took a breath trying to stifle a giggle. "We're acting like whores," she said, while desperately trying not to reach for Art's cock. Sandra hissed in a breath. "Art, I don't know what's happened to us. Honest, we don't act like this. We've each had one guy — once, and that was just to get rid of our cherries. But it's like we've been given an aphrodisiac. I want you so bad that it's hard to breathe," she finished, not knowing that Art was...
The Colonel’s Office Aboard Ship ...”And Worthington. Hear this! If something happens to my wife, I’ll kill you without a second thought. Now get out of my face before I change my mind and do what I know should be done.” Without saluting, Worthington spun on his heel and stomped out. Jeff sat thinking. Should I tell his Commander why I’m sending him back? After a moment, he shrugged. On second thought, I asked for his best aviators to give them a chance in my unit. No one, other than us,...
