Aaron and Shelby, assisted by Martin, had a baby girl – Linda Jean. She was born ten days after Susan delivered.
This time the exchange in the hospital room went a little differently. The same group of obstetrical nurses were present after the birth. Sitting around in Shelby’s room were Aaron, Dave, and Martin.
The nurses brought Linda Jean into the room and paused looking at the men. They recognized Dave. One said, “I don’t suppose you’re the father of this one, are you?”
Dave and Aaron pointed at Martin, “He is.”
She brought the baby to him and said, “Ah, so you’re the husband.”
Martin shook his head. “Oh, no. I’m not. Aaron is the husband. He pointed at Aaron just before accepting the small bundle of joy into his arms.”
Shelby laughed and said, “Well, there was a small chance that Dave was the father, but the timing kind of worked in Martin’s favor.”
Aaron was obviously happy with the situation, so the nurse backed off from further speculations.
Three weeks later, Kat and Sean had James Leonard Marbury.
As Dave arrived to visit, he saw the same three nurses in Kat’s room. This time as they brought the baby back to consort with the visitors they paused. One asks, “OK, which is the husband and which one is the father?”
Dave volunteered, “Different people again. I might be the father, but more than likely it’s Mike here. Sean, there, is the husband.”
Mike got to hold the baby.
The nurse said, “You guys must have an unusual neighborhood.”
Grace came in behind them and laughed, “They do. I live there, too. I’ll tell you about it on break ... if you’re lucky.”
Dave brought Holly to the hospital in labor the next day. He held her and went through the birthing process with her as he’d promised. Zoe Faith popped out in the middle of the afternoon right on schedule.
Two of the nurses he’d come to know were in the delivery room. They raised their eyes to him several times. He pointed at himself and said, “Yes, father.” The nurses rolled their eyes.
One nurse asked, “Husband?”
Holly smirked despite her washed out appearance, “Not married.”
Four weeks later, Wendy was the one in the obstetrics bed, looking gorgeous as ever, but wiped out from the delivery process as Willow Rae Connor arrived.
This time Grace came in with two of the other nurses that Dave recognized.
One nurse said to Dave, “Let me guess, you’re the father but not the husband.”
Dave nodded, “Possibly. We’re less certain on this one.” He pointed at Dev, “He’s the daddy.”
Dev took the small bundle of baby in his large arms, his tattooed biceps bulging as he accepted the small package. Dev looked dangerous, as usual. If there were ever a protector of this small child, it would be Dev. Dave thought of the first few dates Willow would have when she became a teen, and the boys showed up to confront Dev with their plans for his daughter. He laughed at the mental movie.
Twelve days later, Alice waddled into the hospital accompanied by Dave and Pam. She was quickly whisked away in a wheelchair, prepped and soon delivered John Forrest Prentiss.
This time as Grace accompanied the three usual nurses into the room, Dave stepped forward from the circle of friends visiting the new mother.
Dave said, “I am the father AND husband, at least we think so.”
The nurses laughed as they put the baby boy in his arms. The cutest one of the bunch spoke, “I’m Mya. We heard about your Circle from Grace. I can’t speak for the others, but I’m jealous of what you’ve put together. It sounds wonderful, but I can’t believe it’s as great as it sounds from Grace.”
Alice had eight visitors standing around her bed. In perfect synchronization, nine people said, “It is.” The nurses reeled back. Grace laughed.
Grace told them, “You have to experience it to believe it. The babies will change everything, but we’ve assembled the greatest group of people that all love each other and take care of each other. It is a heaven here on earth.”
Joan Paige lay in Dave’s arms. Julie had spooned up against Joan with Heather behind her. Holly lay on the other side of Dave with her head on his other shoulder from Joan’s.
Joan said, “This is pretty nice.”
“The nicest,” Dave said. “I love all of you.”
“We love you.”
Julie reminded the group, “Alice comes home tomorrow. She gets preferential treatment.”
“Of course.”
Joan teased, “I guess I’ll have my time in a few months.”
There was a long silence as Dave and the women digested her comment.
Dave finally said, “Would you care to clarify exactly what you mean by that.”
“You’re going to be a daddy again, maybe around Thanksgiving.”
“You?”
“None other. I’ve courted you. You said it was okay, if you recall. I wanted to be certain of the parentage. I’ll get Dale to do the next one.”
Dave sat up and looked at Joan as she stretched out next to him in her gorgeous naked splendor. There was enough light in the room to see the exotic shadows and curves of her body as it continued to glow from their lovemaking that ended only a few minutes earlier. He bent down and kissed her.
“I love you, Joan Paige. I’m happy that you’re happy with your condition.”
She volunteered, “So far, I haven’t had any morning sickness or nausea. I just felt ‘different’, so I got a kit and that tested positive, and then I got that test validated by more sophisticated means. Dr. O’Reilly is sure making money off of this intentional family. We should negotiate a group rate.”
Dave chuckled, “I’ll go with you to see him and see what we can do. We need to do that with a pediatrician, too.”
Joan said, “I had some other interesting news today, as well. Brian goes on trial on April fifteenth.”
Dave snorted, “Ah, the ides of the month. I wonder if he’ll meet his maker that day the same way Julius Caesar did?”
“Maybe not, but the ADA we met is going to start to roast him.”
“He has a criminal defense attorney, who’ll try to turn it all back on you, you know.”
“Yeah, I should start to get my head in gear about this.”
“You’ll be called to the stand for sure. I mean some of the key evidence the prosecution is presenting mostly came from you: the tapes from your counseling sessions out in Austin seem to be the core.”
The worst stuff came out while I was under hypnosis or sodium pentothal. I can’t comment on those interventions except to say that I underwent them. Someone from the clinic has volunteered to come to Sarasota to testify as to their efficacy and such, as well as the veracity of the tapes.”
Dave said, “I think both techniques have been validated in the court system many times before this. I’m sure the ADA will have those citations on hand to buttress his case.”
“I’ll mention that to him. I have his email.”
Dave said, “The more important questions for you will be why you let yourself succumb to Brian’s browbeating and abuse? You seem so strong now. What was it about that period of time in your life that made you susceptible?”
“I’ll think about that.”
“He’ll drag the Circle into the trial, too.”
“On what basis?”
“That you were really nuts for a while. He wasn’t emotionally abusing you; he was trying to get you to be rational again. He’ll paint a picture that the Circle is not a reasonable activity, and he was only trying to nudge you back to the straight and narrow.”
Joan was thoughtful. “I’ll have to think about what to say if that comes up that way. Just so you know, I saw the Circle as salvation from what had been happening. Yes, it became a magnet, but that’s why.”
“Remember that. Your whole sex life will come to the fore, as well.”
“What about Brian’s affair with Amanda Tyler? What about his books on psychological warfare and his checklists?”
Dave speculated, “His lawyer will find some basis to dismiss all of that; to trivialize it and make them worthless pieces of evidence that have no relevance to the case.”
“Hmmmmm.” Joan got thoughtful. “What happens if he gets off?”
“We move forward with the civil case if you want. The standard of proof is lower in that setting. More than likely, there won’t be a jury, only a judge or tribunal of judges.”
The next few months are going to be interesting.”
The group sex frequented by the Circle all but ceased to exist.
Mostly mothers, and an occasional father, mother-in-law, or father-in-law, or combinations, started to arrive with each new baby. Moreover, they would stay and mill around the Circle with their new grandbaby in tow, usually in some kind of expensive new tricycle carriage if not in their arms.
Elise knew that Alice’s parents had no intention of coming to see their sinful Florida daughter’s child - their new grandbaby, so she took it upon herself to be the surrogate mother to Alice. Alice liked Elise, and was glad for the extra pair of hands for the two weeks that Elise visited. By the time she returned north, Alice had healed and been able to reassume the reins of baby care.
Elise also made nice with Shelby’s mother who appeared at the Circle for the first time. Doris Wynn was about the same age, but had been exceptionally naïve about how Aaron and Shelby lived. Elise had at least figured that much out, particularly after she learned that Martin was the father of that baby.
Doris had heard all the right words, but she hadn’t put them together and thought about the implications of what they meant: polyamorous, cohousing, diversified housing, sharing, commune-like, nonexclusive, non-monogamous, loving, sharing and so on.
Shelby admitted to a few of the Circle members that she had purposefully been a little vague and slowly introduced her description of her lifestyle to avoid the inevitable bomb shell explosion.
The shock nearly sent Doris to the hospital.
Shelby’s mother had arrived a few days after Elise. She watched a steady stream of men and women, neighbors, come and see her daughter. They each seemed so close to her, usually kissing and hugging her with such affection. Shelby obviously felt similar love for them, even the men – especially the men.
What tipped the balance was when Martin and Sasha appeared on her first weekend there. Martin swooped in, and definitely played the role of father to the baby, picking up Linda Jean, doing all the goofy baby talk, and snuggling and coddling the baby to him.
The Friday night crowd was thick and mostly male. Many of the men seemed in the construction trades. The city continued to expand even despite the increasing number of articles in the news about rising tides and water levels. Club Ecstasy was packed. A number of Circle members were associated with the nightclub a.k.a. strip club at most times. About thirty members of the Circle had pushed together several tables to park their drinks and snacks on while they watched some of their friends and...
“Sarasota Approach Control, November-One-Two-Echo-Romeo with you at six-thousand landing Circle Airport east of Sarasota. We have information Oscar at SRQ.” Approach Control responded promptly, “Two-Echo-Romeo radar contact. Proceed on course. Descend to two thousand. When you’re on final approach, you may cancel with us and complete your approach. Altimeter is three-zero-zero-four.” Dave responded and then started the jet’s slow descent. He was west of Tampa over the Gulf of Mexico in the...
Tatiana purred in the afterglow of their loving with her ‘husband’s’ arms wrapped around her nakedness. This was the divine feeling of love and devotion she’d been unable to imagine a decade earlier. She thought back to her first meeting with her beloved David at a January Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas four years prior. His new company had a booth across the aisle from the booth her Russian company Robo-Russ was using. She had an idea to use his company’s high-density batteries in a...
The video image flickered on the core’s largest screen television. Suddenly, a nice-looking couple appeared sitting side-by-side on a sofa twelve hundred miles to the north. The style of dress to accommodate the cooler northern weather was quite noticeable. A small box in the lower corner of the screen showed the local view and what they saw. Aaron spoke first, “Hi Martin and Sasha. We can see you fine. Thanks for the call. I have a cast of thousands here to meet you for the first time...
The informal meeting took place in Dave’s spacious living room. Those in attendance consisted of Dave’s ten wives, Dave, several other Circle members, and two of the producers of the reality TV series to which Dave and others in the Circle had agreed. Al Berker with Spring Garden Productions took the lead. First off, I want to thank you Scarlett for your willingness to let us include you in our coverage of the Circle and the Prentiss family. We believe we are treating you carefully,...
Sometime during the night, another co-ed had snuck into Phoenix and Devon’s room in the sorority house and inserted herself into the lovemaking that the threesome had been engaged in. Amazingly, she’d brought two things with her when she arrived – her bathrobe and her test results from the day before. Both were quickly dispensed with. This time, Devon and Phoenix watched carefully as Dave gave Bonnie Lou something called The Experience. They all cuddled the naked co-ed to them awaiting her...
The emergency departure of Dave, Alice, Wendy, and Sharon for Houston to ‘rescue’ Dev Connor did not go unnoticed by the Circle. Dave’s house had most of the residents there when the mysterious call came for Alice. Minutes later, Dave and Alice were heading for their airport at a run, needing to get to Houston. A few shouted comments gave about all the information they had at that moment about the situation. That news was shared between all of the Circle members within minutes. Further,...
Dave delivered Gabbie Carson to a flight back to Philadelphia on Monday morning from Dayton airport. She was able to get a ‘dead head’ seat on another airline and had to be at work the next morning. She’d be able to hitch a ride back to her home in Delaware from her roommate who was working on a red-eye flight from California to Philly. Their parting was teary on her part, but he promised he’d see again and even be one of her lovers again after she moved to the Circle. He also urged her to...
Susan said, “This sounds a bit like a cult.” Dave chuckled. It wasn’t the first time he’d heard the accusation about the Circle. In a way, every unique group was a cult in his mind. His old Christian church had been more of a cult than the Circle because of how they restricted everyone’s thinking to only the rules and such they wanted the congregation to adhere to, but then again, the Circle tried to select its members based on their own set of beliefs about life and love. Alice nodded at...
Thursday just after five o’clock and as expected Dave brought Pam back to the house along with her luggage. He ‘officially’ situated her in the guest room, but they’d already talked about her staying in their bed. Alice had come home a half-hour early to be there to greet Pam. After their initial greetings, she told Dave she had also arranged for Owen to join them at dinner at a restaurant, and then for dessert at home. Dave smirked because Alice and he had started using the term ‘dessert’...
After reluctantly leaving Jessie’s home in Rochester, Dave meandered east across New York State. He had one particular destination in mind in the small town of Oneida – touring the Mansion House that had housed the most famous polyamorous communities in the world in starting in 1848 and that remained a symbol of one. Of course, the silverware that the community also produced went on to become some of the most revered, as well, but for Dave or anybody in the Circle, this place was...
Dave had a habit of checking on the various rooms in the core to see how they were being used and what condition they were in just by occasionally strolling by. Some weeks he checked daily and other weeks perhaps not at all. He was on his round and opened the door to one of the relatively unfinished areas in the core. A hasty but colorful painted sign hung on the door said, ‘Art Studio’. He noted Colleen’s name and phone number under the words. He peeked into the room and saw Colleen...
Dave did a quick change from his casual garb into shorts and a casual top in his house, and was behind the bar in less than five minutes. He shifted his thinking from working with Marie Thereaux’s students, to helping out at the bar. His co-workers that evening were Nikky and Savannah working the tables, and Chelsea, Tony, and Barry behind the bar or scooting around the patio to nearby high-top tables. Before he could take an order, Kellie and Barbara waved frantically at him, indicating...
“Mr. Prentiss, this is your friend from Houston. I believe the possible threat to you and your community has passed. Just so you know, the opposition visited about thirty other gated communities in your county. Vigilance is always recommended, but whatever their mission, they seemed unsuccessful. The two men we’d tracked went back to Colombia two days ago, and seem to have assumed their old jobs. We have reason to believe they convinced themselves that your friend is dead or that erasure is...
Dave stood atop Kill Devil Hill on the outer banks, looking around at the landscape of beach and sand dunes on the North Carolina barrier island. He tried to imagine what it must have been like in the year 1903 for Wilbur and Orville Wright and their motorized glider aircraft that wasn’t much more than a kite with a clunky motor. He closed his eyes and tried to think what December seventeenth must have been like as their craft made three journeys across the dunes from the launch rail. The...
Dave started to move in and out, sawing well over eight inches of man meat in and out of Kat’s sex. As he moved, so did Sean in her ass, but without the long strokes that Dave could muster because of position and size. Kat’s eyes closed as she savored the rapture of the double penetration. Alice reached in with her right hand and started to stroke Kat’s clit just above where her husband’s cock entered her friend and husband’s lover. At one point she even had one of her tapered fingers enter...
After Wendy’s exit, no one made any further reference to the family. Those members who’d been at the short departure meet with Wendy briefly mentioned the family safety to each other and that was the end of the discussion. Everyone in the Circle and that knew the Connors were warned to never mention their name again and ‘reminded’ that they’d never known anybody by that name. The Circle Board made a decision to hold the house in the Board’s name, a point already executed in ‘official’...
The relatively calm autumn came to a crashing end before Thanksgiving. There were a number of reasons for this change to chaotic behavior. Many in the Circle were affiliated with the university, most as students – students, most of whom, became frantic about the rapidly ending semester and the amount of course material they still had to digest in order to get a passing grade. About two-hundred Circle members and pledges, the largest number ever, decided to stay in Sarasota for Thanksgiving...
Dave laughed when he went online and went to the Circle’s website. Erin Steckler maintained the site for everybody in the Circle as part of her service duties. The work blended nicely with her freelance reporting for the Sarasota Herald and a couple of other papers. The password for the site was ‘Circle’ – not creative, not really secure, but easy to remember. The opening page consisted of the near pornographic photographs of about twenty Circle tattoos – each very close to each woman’s...
Dave’s cell phone rang just as the Circle was finishing dinner. The call came from Aaron, his brother. “Hi, Big Brother.” “Bro, what’s up?” “Well, Shelby and I have the last week of February free and were wondering whether we could come and visit and take over your guest room or a room or two in that other house on your Circle? The weather has been sucky up here with no relief is in sight. We can both take some vacation time that week, so coming south seemed in the cards. If it’s...
In the morning, Dave rode with Doris to a nearby tire store. They did have the correct tire size, except she needed two tires in order to balance on the car opposite each other. The bill was over four hundred dollars. Dave heard Doris asking if they had any used tires that could get her to Seattle. Dave stepped over to her, “This is on me. You can pay-it-forward. Besides that, I owe you some serious money for your coaching last night. I know you didn’t do that for free when you were back in...
Saturday morning Dave tended the omelet station as many Circle members gathered for weekend breakfast. He got a steady stream of kisses from most of the women and lots of fist bumps from his male friends as they stopped by to say hello. The Circle had gotten so large that many members didn’t see each other until the weekend. There seemed to be a special jovial atmosphere on the large patio that morning as more and more people arrived. Dave ate his own small omelet with Cord and the twins...
Millie was truly a beautiful mature woman in every way. She had an aura of beauty around her that wasn’t just physical. She gave off vibes of being loving, friendly, gracious, and agreeable to work with. He knew that if he had the right visual sensitivity, he’d probably be able to see a halo over her head, as well as a beautiful aura. Those vibes carried a spiritual element to them that made him feel deeply connected to her in mind, body, and spirit. Millie was wearing Bermuda shorts and a...
As Dave, Holly, and Alice reached the patio, Shelby bounced up to Dave and plastered her nude body against his. They kissed like the world was about to end and the kiss would save everything, and then she reached down and fondled him. “Can we make love again? Matthew’s already gone for his grandmother’s.” “Where’s Aaron?” “He and Julie are probably fucking or making love or both in the pergola at the other end of the pool. We could go and join them.” She smiled, clearly indicating that that...
Dave made the rounds over the next three days as the opportunity presented itself for him to see every Circle member and affiliate. The question he asked was, ‘What do you think of Dale and Susan Harnett becoming Circle members?’ The response was uniform and enthusiastic, ‘Oh, yes. I’ve been treating them as though they were members, but certainly. They belong with us.’ When Dave had talked to everybody, he suggested to Dale that he and Susan stay over to the following Tuesday before...
Alice followed Owen across the hall to another private room at Greg’s Tattoos establishment. Suddenly, she had ideas about a more elaborate couple of tattoos just to get Owen’s attention and tease him. Owner had her sit on the edge of the adjustable chair in the room. “OK, what’d you pick and where do you want them?” He smiled broadly at her, obviously remembering their passion the night before. “I want a small red heart on my left breast, about here.” She touched the outside of her...
Nikky was flying around the office wearing a cellphone headset and talking to someone while she arranged notes and papers on Dave’s desk. He waved at her and blew her a kiss. She held up a finger urging him to stand still for a moment as she ended the call. As Dave heard her end the call, she tore the headset from her head and came into his arms for her morning kiss and hug. “I love you.” “And I love you, Nikky Thomas. What are you going to do with me today?” “I’m going to have you meet...
The pair kissed and hugged, Alice’s generous bare breasts mushing against Dave’s manly chest and making him most aware of the sharp nubbins burrowing into his skin. She was aroused; so was he. He pulled her over on top of him, and Alice fondled his meat until the tip was rubbing against her navel. She rose up on one knee and sank down onto his shaft, totally enveloping him in a feeling of ecstasy for the two of them. “Oh, God. You are so satisfying – so fucking satisfying.” Dave chucked,...
A large circle of people sat in a Circle in the aftermath of a superb dinner served by Chef Bobbie – miniature Beef Wellingtons with a natural sauce served with fresh Belgian asparagus. The group had just finished praising the Chef as she sat naked in Aaron’s arms incessantly teasing him by grinding her pussy against his bathing suit covered cock. “Keep that up, Babe, and I’ll have to do something about your forward nature.” “Oh, dear, “ Bobbie feigned with a wrist to her forehead, “I can...
A few days later at Dori and Ty’s house, Dave got tapped on the shoulder. He turned around, “Are you still avoiding me?” Rachel asked in a pleasant tone. Dave counted back the weeks on two hands right in front of her. “Hmmmm. It’s been twelve weeks. You tell me how you’re feeling and let me think about it.” Rachel crossed her arms and then looked peeved, “I’m feeling a bit like a pariah with you, and that makes me sad. I still love you, but I think you accomplished what you set out to do,...
Dave lay snuggled in his bed between Athena and Taylor. He’d made love to each of them twice. Athena seemed more relaxed and talkative after watching Taylor and Dave make love. Taylor was in seventh heaven, and talked throughout the lovemaking sessions about how good it felt and how she never wanted them to stop. Cricket came in and joined the fray. She’d been with Dave’s brother and sister-in-law, and seemed very content and fulfilled. Dave teased her, “What are you going to do when Don...
Owen roused Alice from her slumber beside him and as naked as he was. “Come awake my darling lover. We have a plane to catch. I want to briefly show you Rome before we head back to the real world.” Alice moaned, “Come and make love to me first.” Owen was so easy to convince. The serious moves to get from bed didn’t occur for another forty-five minutes. Three hours later, Owen’s plane set down at the Leonardo da Vinci Airport twenty miles from Rome’s center. A limousine whisked them into the...
Dave lay in the arms of Jean Edwards as Monika Akers sucked on his rod, lapping off the excess cum and Jean’s juices. The threesome had been busy with each other for the past hour. Each woman had a large load of Dave’s man milk inside their sexual cavity, plus they hadn’t been shy with each other about joining Dave in the cleanup operations. Monika announced she wanted a further round of sex. “I never get enough. I know you said that just about everyone in the Circle was hypersexual; well,...
Wednesday morning, Dave reminded Alice, “Remember I’m bringing my consultant lady friend home for dinner – Pam Hodge. You’ll like her. She’s smart, analytical, and very social. After dinner, I’ll drive her back to her hotel.” The couple talked about arrangements for dinner. Dave allowed as how he would drop some groceries off over the lunch hour, and Alice agreed to play chief cook that evening. The pair made a grocery list together and then left for work. Alice arrived home right at five...
Friday evening, Dori and Alice headed off to the Club Ecstasy right after an early work. Dori explained that there was probably an hour of prep that Alice would have to go through before she was ready to dance. For one, she needed to do all the government forms that would get her paid; for another, there was extensive makeup required to give her an appealing but tarty appearance as one of the sexy dancers. Dori also wanted her to meet the bouncers, the bartender, and the other dancers. Dave...
With the wedding two days away, the Circle had become a rather festive place. There was chatter about bachelor and bachelorette parties, but the brides had all moved out of the Circle on Thursday morning to be with relatives or parents, and there was no big attraction about a bachelor party except for a few of the men that decided to go to the Club Ecstasy. There was no big deal made about it. Thursday night thus became more like one of the usual Friday nights were the couplings and sex were...
Amanda sat with Joan at the high-top table next to the bar. She asked, “Are there some significant pairings in the Circle? Aren’t some of the people here actually married? I kind of recall meeting several couples when I was here the last time.” Dave nodded, “Yes, but our pairings are unique and not in keeping with the expectations of someone from the outside, such as yourself. The main reason is the omission of possessiveness from the relationship equation. Carry that a step further, and...
Celeste Montreau sat on the edge of her seat in the core living room. On a blanket close by on the floor, Kendall Hanks carefully examined a stuffed bunny for the tenth time in as many minutes. When the baby squeezed the toy in the right way, it squeaked; an awe-inspiring feature she hadn’t discovered until ten minutes earlier. Celeste explained, “So, when the last of their children entered the first grade, I was no longer needed unless I only wanted to work two or three hours a day or help...
Dave’s departure from Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, took a week. He’d forged a loving relationship with Mariah St. Clair and her daughter Skye. Much of the week had been spent in bed with one or the other, and then both of them as they began to loosen up to the challenges that he gave them, some of which involved incestuous sapphic sex. The challenges also included dressing sexy, omitting underwear, walking around the home naked even when a delivery or arrival was expected, and using earthy,...
As the movie Road Trip swung through its first couple of weeks in top movie houses across the country, Cricket’s book made a huge splash in the publishing marketplace. Dave had to laugh. The movie was getting rave reviews from the critics, such as the top number of tomatoes, stars, cookies and other attributes to imply a strong recommendation to the public to see the movie. The movie brought in about three hundred million its first weekend in theaters; more than enough to cover the cost of...
The trio of women flew into the Circle in Owen’s corporate jet. The Gulfstream 650LR landed Saturday morning after a red-eye flight from Orange County Airport where they connected with Owen and the plane. They all admitted to sleeping for most of the flight since they were each worn out from a hellish week wrapped up in their individual activities. Dave met the plane on the tarmac with a couple of others from the Circle and several golf carts. He’d been waiting for the radio call, and as...
Dave was impressed that the rubble from the destruction left by the grenade and two mortar rounds had been cleared away by the end of the same day the police had saved Alice and caught Angus Morton. Jack told several people gathered around at the bar that the next day reconstruction of the core living space, the core kitchen, and the cabana would begin with three separate work teams. He’d asked that the emphasis be put on restoring the kitchen to order, and had a four-week time estimate...
Dave looked out at the class of students for his Circle 101 course. Those interested in ‘pledging’ the Circle were all present and including Cookie, Alan, Elton, Wes, Cord, and Barry – all six by way of a fraternity party some of the members attended. Also included were Chris and Jess Thomas – Nikky’s parents; Juan and Ann Carlos – Bill Lewis’s ex-wife and new husband; Adam and Jill Timms – the flight instructor and his wife; Nikky, Joyce, Bill, and Gene. Lastly, there was JR who he noted had...
“HELLO!” Dave turned around, surprised at the slightly shouted greeting from an unexpected direction. He’d just come back from a five-mile run, worked up a healthy sweat, and didn’t think he was too presentable to be meeting someone new. He saw a young couple he didn’t know walking up the Access Road. The woman carried a large platter with aluminum foil over the top of it. “Hi,” Dave said. “Can I help you?” He purposely tried to sound friendly and smile at the couple. The man spoke with a...
“You have totally corrupted my daughter!” Karen stated, but the corners of her mouth were turned up in a slight smile. “I thought you’d help solve the problem, not make the whole situation a hundred times worse.” Bridget sat beside Alice as they talked to Karen. “I am not inexperienced, mother. This isn’t even a problem. There’s nothing bad about any of this ... well, except for us being the living room when you came home.” “Oh, I’m ‘mother’ now? Lay it out for me.” Alice said, “Face...
Dori Winters breezed in the back door of the Prentiss house without knocking the following morning. This was not normal behavior between most neighbors, but once Dori felt you were her ‘true’ friend, she thought that complete access was her due. Dave and Alice were sitting at the breakfast table in the kitchen of their ranch house eating. Dori looked at the two of them and said, “Well?” She held her arms out, clearly expecting a full report. Dave laughed. “You put her up to some nasty stuff...
Alice was quiet at cocktail time. She told Dave she was thinking about just how much she wanted to loosen up, so he left her alone and didn’t try to pry her thoughts from her as he might have otherwise, being a concerned husband. Pam was traveling, so also wasn’t around to probe. The next night at dinner Alice seemed to have reached some resolution. She was upbeat and amazingly alive. Dave commented, “You’re much different tonight than last night.” Pam, who’d come home that afternoon,...
Owen picked up Alice right at eleven on Sunday morning, as planned. Dave kissed his wife goodbye and helped load her suitcase into Owen’s Porsche. He gave a huge sigh as she drove away and said a small prayer. An hour later, Christie pulled up at Dave and Alice’s house. She was dressed in a pair of daisy duke shorts that were barely there and showed a lot of ass cheek, and a tight crop top that showed significant under boob and invited playing with obviously unclad and very generous breasts....
Wednesday evening when Dave got home from work, he was surprised to see Jason and Robyn Riggs sitting at one of the high-top tables with Dale and Susan. They already had drinks. He walked over and said hello. Dale explained, “They were here on the weekend, and I thought I’d show them what a weekday ‘homecoming’ was like.” Dave chuckled, “OK. If you want to participate you need to take a little initiative to get things started then people will know it’s all right to cross a boundary.” On...
Dave opened the FedEx package from California. It contained two wrapped packages and a note with three lipstick kisses on it and nothing else other than each kiss was different and noted with a name: Scarlett, Ashley, and Cricket. One item was a draft copy of a hardback book, complete with a cover and everything. The title of the book was Road Trip. As Dave thumbed through the advance copy, according to the stamp on the front, it had 486 pages and the author’s name was listed as Stevie...
Playing the part of Jim Mellon, Chris Hemsworth pulled the 1988 Harley Softail up to the stranded bus as several of the passengers waved him down. He was on his road trip around the forty-eight states and still nursing the grief he felt over the loss of his young wife to some crazy autoimmune disease. Scarlett Johansson, playing the role of Crystal Lee, came down the stairs from the large tour bus and engaged in some dialog with Jim Mellon, ultimately asking that he drive her to a recording...
The population of the Circle split into two major parts the night after realizing there’d likely be another ‘attack’. About fifty members including Dave, JR, Larry, Jenny, Deb, and several others went to the EneRG office building. Each brought a sleeping bag and air mattress. About forty members went with Aaron and several others to the Zenith Building where the Bennett Foundation and Bennett Corporation had their offices. The remainder of the group found friends and associates to stay with...
“She has gonorrhea. Dr. Faurst talked to her earlier this afternoon. She’s contacting about six guys she had bareback sex with over the past two months. Tim will test and consult with them at his in-town office. She was pissed off at one of the guys, and very apologetic for getting Jake in trouble. The last point is that we can’t seem to find Jake to put him on azithromycin. Tanya, Jake, and the others should not have sex with anybody for at least three months.” Dave and Ty shook their...
Dave watched from the doorway to the austere conference room that JR was using to meet with the marketing staff. EneRG was casual enough that having the CEO lurking in the doorway to eavesdrop on the meeting was no big deal. Several of the staff had waved or nodded in his direction. Everybody knew everyone on a first name basis, too. Dave noticed Nikky also sitting in the meeting. JR was in her high-energy pattern and the meeting was clipping along at a rapid pace. The reports were crisp and...
Friday evening before dinner, Dave assessed the progress on the reconstruction project. Several points were noteworthy. The shattered large tempered plate glass panels across the core living room where they looked out over the patio had all been replaced except right where most of the construction was going on. He could also see that there had been significant activity on the roof, suggesting that the permanent roof was complete over the top of the girders and special plywood that made up the...
Dave, Scarlett, and Heather sat with Matt and Rose on the patio on Saturday morning – the two mothers and the stepdad to the teens. Dave said, “We wanted to be sure you are making an adult decision that has more to it than all your hormones talking.” The two teens laughed at his comment. Scarlett said in somewhat serious tone, “I agree. Dave told me about what you both said on Monday night at the Circle 101 class, and I am touched, but at the same time I am worried perhaps because you are...
Zoey Foster could control her vaginal muscles like no other woman Dave had encountered. She was milking the last of the cum from Dave’s wilting shaft, drawing it deep inside her body with willful intent. Moreover, Dave felt that she’d been in complete control of her own orgasms except when he had given her The Experience. Simultaneously, Zoey was dragging her erect nipples across his chest, spelling out ‘I love you’ for the third time. She smiled as she added a flourish under the words and...
A month after the party where Jack, Grace, and Rachel joined the Circle, a small cluster of people stood on a knoll at the edge of the new property and watched the cavalcade of cement trucks coming onto the property the Circle corporation had purchased from Owen. The trucks were pouring the foundations and pads for the new homes they would all occupy in a few months. Dave said to Ty, “I can’t believe how fast this has gone to even start. Owen promises we’ll be living here before Halloween....
