Flint flopped on a sofa in Darla's great room. He was wiped out. He'd checked Eileen and her mother into a resort hotel, took David and Nora to the compound, where Darla helped him pack a few things for Eileen for the next day, and then drove to Dorothy's friend's house to pick up Dorothy's things, which he'd just dropped off at the hotel along with what Darla had packed for Eileen. Looking back, he had worked over sixteen stressful hours that day, and the day wasn't finished. He should drop by the security room and say hello to Ramon Gomez, who was monitoring the camera feeds and intrusion alarms. Flint knew the security room guards appreciated it when he stopped by to chat with them.
With a grunt, he rose to his feet, deciding to make himself a drink before dropping by the security center.
"Fix me a drink, too," Darla said.
Flint jumped. He hadn't noticed her walking into the room.
She laughed softly and said, "Park yourself on a bar stool. I'll make the drinks. You work too hard, Flint."
"Some days," he said as he slid onto a barstool. "Today was one of them, but it was a good day. Productive." Sorry Ramon, you were just preempted, Flint thought. "What are you wearing under that diaphanous gown?"
"Nothing," Darla said and put a drink in front of him. "It is diaphanous, isn't it?"
"Like a spiders web," he said.
"Uh-uh, it isn't sticky like a spider's web." She sipped from her drink and leaned on the bar with her elbows, cupping the drink in her hands. "With the slightest effort, it would slide off my body."
"I misspoke," he said and took a healthy swallow of scotch.
"How tired are you?" Darla asked. "I mean, do you have the energy to make the slightest effort?"
"I will always have that much energy and more," he said and started to reach for the string bow at her neck.
"No, not now, not yet," she said. "You have muscle kinks and knots, right?"
"I thought I did. I'm not certain I do now."
"Do you have a hard-on?"
"Yes."
"Is it so hard it would be painful for you to walk with me to my mother's house to use the hot tub?"
"I'll manage," he said.
She walked around the bar, bare legs flashing.
"Should I get a suit?" he asked.
She snorted. "Not this time of night. Not with me."
She took his hand and they walked out of her house and along the path to Carol's house, but around the side of the house to the hot tub. It was on and bubbling, steam rising in the night air.
"I assumed I could talk you into joining me, so I turned on the hot tub earlier," Darla said. "That might sound presumptuous of me, but if you'd been too tired, I wouldn't have pressed you. I would've soothed your fevered brow in other ways." She helped him remove his clothes. "Now is the time to make that slightest effort, Flint."
He pulled on the bow, she shrugged sexily, and the diaphanous gown puddled around her feet. She moved into his arms and kissed him. "You love me, right?" she said.
"Yes."
"I think you should move into my bedroom with me," she said. "It was designed to house a man and a woman."
"What does that mean?" he said, groaning softly as she stroked his cock.
"I have a big bed, as you know, and I have rearranged my walk-in closet to make room for your clothes; the same for some drawers. More evidence of my overblown presumptiveness, perhaps," she said and moved to the cool deck onto her knees. Her lively tongue reached out and twirled around the crown of his throbbing cock.
He felt befuddled, under assault mentally and physically. His question had asked for clarity, and she had only told him there was room for him to move into her bedroom. He wanted more.
"What does moving into your bedroom with you mean?" he said again, and then emitted a soft groan of pleasure.
"It means, Flint, that we'd be living together. It means that I'm in love with you, too." She dipped her head and took half his length into her mouth.
"Yes!" he exclaimed, and not because she'd finally taken his cock into her mouth. She loved him! Dreams could come true!
"It means that besides loving David and Joe, and Nora and my mother, that I also love you." Her tongue encircled the bulbous crown, and she moved her mouth down around his cock and sucked while she licked. "Can you live with that?"
"Yes," he croaked.
"It means that for our next bacchanalia in the communal room behind locked doors that you will be with us." She sucked and licked some more. "It means that besides loving me that sometime soon you'll also need to love Nora and my mother. You already love David, but you'll need to get to know Joe enough to love him like I love him." She bobbed her head and sucked. "Like David loves him. Joe is a sweet man, Flint." She stoked his cock and looked up at him. "What's more, they'll need to love you. Without all the love going back and forth, what we have, the love we have for each other won't work, Flint."
He reached down and pulled her to her feet. "I love them all now, Darla, not like I love you, but I love them." He kissed her passionately. "But I can't make anyone love me. Love just happens. What if..."
She placed a finger over his mouth. "Hush. Just let it happen then. That's what I had to do. I was fighting my love for you, and my mother told me to quit it, to just let it happen, and it did. I do have one question you need to answer right now."
"What?"
"Do you want to come before or after taking out the kinks and knots in the hot tub?"
"After, in our bed," he said.
"Our bed. I like the sound of that," she said.
As hot water pummeled his head and body, David reflected on the seven-hour flight he'd just finished. There was a slight risk, but David believed that the baker and her family would accept the sexual peccadilloes of David's family, and the story of their homelessness that Darrell had told was accurate. They were good people.
He checked out the three housekeepers at the Johnson Center shelters, searching for a housekeeper for his mother. The housekeeper managing Kara's shelter in Kara's absence was capable of managing a shelter, and with a shelter under construction, they'd soon need another manager, so David concentrated on the other two, selecting the one that wouldn't be revolted by incestuous shenanigans, a woman named Melissa Huntington. David liked Melissa. She was a lively, happy person with a good sense of humor, and had happily fucked her brother in her youth, still fucked him on occasion.
Last evening before the flight, Flint had said that they hadn't started their offensive against Robert Hummel. That wasn't entirely true. David had started to collect the names and addresses of Hummel's perverted friends on previous flights. Last night, he completed that list and placed the fourteen names on a spreadsheet along with the voluminous details he'd gathered on each man. Reconnaissance was complete. Now a battle plan must be devised. David would consult with Flint on the battle plan.
David also spent fifteen minutes making messes in Wilson's house. No, making messes was too benign to describe what David did to Wilson's house. He vandalized the residence.
A painter had prepared Wilson's home office for a new coat of paint, leaving the unopened cans of paint in the room. David opened the cans and dribbled the paint on the carpet from one end of the house to the other, splashing some of the paint on walls and furniture. He did the same with the liquids in the refrigerator and pantry; the liquids included honey and molasses. Then he dumped solids on the liquids, solids like dry cereal, coffee grounds, and potato chips. Rolls of toilet paper plugged up toilets. Frozen meat went in the washing machine and dryer, which David turned on just before he left. Using a squeeze bottle of catsup, he wrote Cancel your contract with Pete on the walls in the kitchen, master bathroom, and living room, and as he was leaving, he set off the burglar alarm. He returned two more times that night, not to make more messes, just to set off the alarm.
Sleep-deprived, harried men made mistakes.
And, of course, he studied Arabic. Rima would be pleased with his progress.
"How about I drive while you read this," David said and handed Flint the spreadsheet listing the loosely organized group of pedophiles associated with Robert Hummel. The document contained thirty pages printed horizontally on standard-sized paper. They were leaving the compound to pick up the baker and her family.
David remained silent as he drove, thinking about the important development that had happened the previous evening that he'd missed completely. Flint had moved into Darla's bedroom.
"I love her, David," Flint had said as they sat and drank a cup of coffee before starting the day. "But then you knew that. Last night, she said she loved me and asked me to move in with her. I am a happy man!"
Wanting Darla's side of the issue, after coffee, David loped to Darla's bedroom, finding her just getting out of the shower. He took the towel from her hands, and dried her off.
"Flint moved in with me last night," she said.
"I heard," David said.
"Are you all right with that?"
"I am if that's what you want," he said.
"I love him," she said.
"Then I'm happy for both of you," David said. He was crouched to dry her feet and couldn't resist planting a kiss on her pussy.
"Kiss it some more," she said. "Lick it, too."
David was busy obeying when Darla said, "Sexy, huh?"
"Yes," Flint said.
David started to turn his face toward the sound of Flint's voice, but Darla stopped him.
"Does watching my brother lick my cunt excite you, Flint?" Darla said.
"Yes," Flint said.
"Then take off your clothes. I'll suck you off while my brother fucks me," Darla said. "Don't stop, David. Oh, I'm so hot! I've dreamed about this."
As he licked, David heard the shuffling sounds of clothes being removed.
"He's naked, David. My lover is a sexy man. Ripped. A hunk of the first order.
A beautiful, long cock that he's fisting while he watches you lick my cunt. Get on the bed, Flint. I'll fuck you while David gets undressed."
David watched as his sister straddled her lover and stroked his cock. She looked toward him, rose up on her knees and settled Flint's cock in her cunt. "Sexy, huh?" she said and lowered herself around Flint's rampant shaft.
"Yep," David said.
Darla leaned and kissed Flint. "I love you," she said.
"And I love you," Flint said.
Darla straightened her back, and now naked, David moved to the side of the bed. Darla took his cock in her dainty hand and stroked it.
"When I was a girl, Flint, the cock in my hand took my virginity. From that moment, even before that moment, David and I formed a bond of love and sex than neither of us can deny. I can't have his children, but I can love him, and I can fuck him. Now I love you, Flint. I can have your children. We can build a wonderful life together, but that life will include my brother. Can you handle that?"
"Yes," Flint said.
"Good. Oh, I'm so happy. I don't believe I've ever been happier." She leaned and kissed Flint again. Then she straightened and kissed David.
"I've changed my mind," she said. "I don't want to stop fucking, Flint, David. What I want is Flint in my cunt, and you in my ass."
David grinned and winked at Flint. "That's all right with me. How about you, Flint?"
"Hell yes!"
David opened a nightstand drawer and pulled out a tube of KY Jelly. After crawling onto the bed, he lathered the jelly on and in his sister's rosebud and did the same with his cock. She leaned forward, and he entered her slowly.
"Yes!" she wailed. "Perfect. The two men I love above all others are fucking me!"
"What about Joe?" David said as he quickened his thrusts.
"He's a close third, but don't tell him I said that. Besides, when he's fucking me, he moves up in the rankings."
David laughed. "Don't you just adore female logic, Flint?"
He laughed, too. "It is often convenient."
"Hey, desist with the extraneous comments and just fuck me. Fuck my cunt! Fuck my ass! Oh, my. This is perfect. Yes, yes, yes."
Flint climaxed first, but David soon followed, and the double dose of semen took Darla over the top. They collapsed in a heap that ended up with David on one side of his sister and Flint on the other, each of them paying her homage with their words, caressing hands and soft kisses.
David and June met with Chuck Denver; David paid the divorce attorney's retainer, and they agreed that Denver would extract his fee and return David's retainer out of the divorce settlement. When asked, June told them that she hadn't signed a prenuptial agreement. David also informed Denver about the danger June faced and the plot to lure June and her daughter out of the compound, including her husband's desired results if the plot succeeded. "Can you prove these allegations?" Denver...
To assuage his guilt over Wilson's possible assassination, David decided to warn the wife beater of his pending death. Wilson had changed hotels, which was immaterial. David connected with the individual, not a location. The disembodied consciousness determined Wilson's new room number, found a nearby empty room and called Wilson on the telephone. "Leave me alone!" Wilson screamed when he answered the call. "I cancelled the contracts. Just leave me the hell alone!" "I figured you for...
Cursing, Danielle Yost kicked the door shut behind her, dropped her purse on the entry console table, and shoved her umbrella in the umbrella stand. "I hate my job. I hate this town," she muttered as she strode to her small kitchen and made herself a stiff drink. The old-fashioned answering machine connected to her kitchen phone flashed the number three. Probably hang ups from telemarketers, she thought, and in fact the first two messages were hung ups. The third interested her,...
"I can't believe what just happened," Danny said to her image in the mirror. She was applying makeup before dressing for cocktails and dinner. Twenty minutes earlier, Nora had left her to do the same. Bisexual. I'm bisexual. I've got to be, she thought, or I wouldn't have enjoyed Nora as much as I did. Who'da thunk it? No, you're rationalizing, Danny told herself. You suspected all along. You enjoyed masturbating with Ella when you were ten, and you'd read enough about sex, even at...
They sat comfortably in the armored limo. Flint drove them. David sat in the front passenger seat — phased out to perform his safety checks. Three women sat in the plush back compartment. They were en route to J&T's corporate offices where David would introduce Danny to Grace and the other board members. "Danny, I'm curious," Carol said as she pressed the button to raise the privacy screen. When it shut with a soft thunk, she continued. "You were frantic, completely distraught, when...
"Do you know who this is?" Pete Hershey said on the telephone. "Yes," Gordon Wilson said. "Call me back on a payphone." Pete gave Wilson the number to call and hung up. Pete Hershey wasn't happy. Wilson calling him in the middle of the night, probably not on a payphone, infuriated him. Wilson knew the rules. Not for the first time, Hershey wished he'd never accepted Wilson's contracts. He sat and stewed, becoming angrier at each passing second. When the phone rang, Pete was ready...
David stood next to the glass wall in the great room of his home that gave him a view of mountain next to the compound. He nursed a cocktail while he watched the falling sun alter the hues and shadows on the mountain's craggy surfaces. Deep in thought, he wondered how his wife reacted when his mother told her that she was pregnant. A part of him dreaded the possibility of some hurt feelings, and another part of him believed his wife could handle anything. He'd learned to admire the...
"He's a beautiful animal, Joe," Danny said. They sat on the top rail of the corral. Joe made a sound in his throat, and Thee Brigand raised his magnificent head, tossed it once, and pranced over to them, his tail twitching, his neck arched — showing off. Joe nuzzled his neck, made some more soft noises, and the animal pushed his head into Danny's hands. She squealed with delight, and did some nuzzling of her own. "May I ride him?" Danny said. "Sure," Joe said, and watched...
When David walked into Darla's kitchen for his first cup of coffee, June wasn't in sight, which surprised him. The coffee was perked, though, so he poured a cup and fixed it the way he liked it: one sugar, a smidgen of heavy cream, and some half-and-half. He smacked his lips with appreciation after swallowing, and June bustled into the room. "I'm sorry, David. I was... got a minute?" "Sure," he said. "Come see. It's... well, it's beautiful." David followed her to the glass...
As the limo cruised through the gates to the compound, Vince said, "Is this home?" "Yes," David said. "Swell!" Vince said. David told the lad about the three homes within the walls and the amenities built into each home. "You'll be living in our home," Nora said, "David's and mine. A while back I met with the probate attorney for your parents' estate, and he allowed me into the house where you used to live. I packed up all your things. Your clothes are hanging in the closet in...
"David is on the way with a candidate for a stable hand," Joe said as he hung up the phone. His wife looked pale — morning sickness, he assumed. "Are you up to meeting her?" "Her?" Carol said, looking surprised. "Yes, a woman named Tammy Wilkes, around thirty-five years old, David says, currently homeless, a drunk, but on the wagon. I'd like your opinion before I hire her, but if you're not up to it, I'll speak with her and have her come back when you're feeling better." "I'm...
Two thugs, one named Howie, the other Ken, no last names — not yet, anyway, David thought — had been hired to torch the shelter by a man named Glen Brown, but Brown wasn't the initiating party. Someone else had hired Brown, but because a man that Brown referred to as Kevin had hired Brown over the telephone, the trail to the culprit who had initiated the attack against the shelter went cold. Knowing that he'd taken too much time to learn just those few facts, David stopped his...
In his office, David phased out and connected with Gordon Wilson in the present. Wilson was taking a shower, his head soapy with shampoo. David created an invisible hand and turned the faucet to cold. Wilson bellowed and jumped, quickly adjusting the temperature of the water. When it was the correct temperature and after Wilson stepped under the water again, David turned the faucet to scalding hot. Wilson screamed and cursed, and then adjusted the water so he could get the soap out of his...
"How did this happen?" David said to Nora as he rushed to his office. "I don't know. I said my colleague screwed up, but I could be wrong about that. Peck is armed, and he fired on the assault team." "I'm in my office now," David said as he locked the door. "I'll phase out and fix this right now." He ended the call, sat in his executive chair, and his consciousness left his body, connecting with Peck. The violent pimp had a gun pressed against a girl's head. Another girl lay...
With the proposed merger behind him, David announced that he wanted to spend a few days in Sedona for some rest and relaxation, and this time Joe and his mother agreed to join the group. Darla left her boy at the compound in Mrs. Gonzales's care. The group did some leisurely hiking in the red-rock country, prepared their own breakfasts, dined in the better restaurants, or grabbed fast food on the run. They also enjoyed a lot of sex, both as a group, as alternating couples, and other...
As black-eyed beauties go, Rima Qassem had to be in the top ten worldwide, David decided. He glanced at Nora, who gave him a coy smile. Was his wife testing his commitment to remain faithful by putting him next to Rima Qassem on a daily basis? He chuckled under his breath when he thought of asking Rima to wear the chadri, the full-length gown and veil required by the Taliban in Afghanistan whenever women left their households. Rima crossed her shapely legs. She certainly wasn't wearing the...
David watched as his sister nuzzled her face between his wife's shapely thighs. No matter how many times he witnessed the beauty of the event, it never failed to excite him. He fisted his very hard erection. "Fuck her," Nora said to David. "Fuck your sister. Poke her cunt with your long one." David rubbed his hand between Darla's legs. She was wet. Ready. But he wanted a taste of her nectar before poking her. She squealed happily as his tongue rasped up through her slit, lapping up...
Gloria Temple had been David's accountant for five years. She was a CPA and owned and operated her own firm. She had other clients, but she'd always treated David as if he were her only client. David adored her, and she returned his admiration with equal affection and respect. She was about fifty years old, chubby, short, and a ball of energy. Because setting up Ridley had taken the entire morning, David had called her, and she'd agreed to meet Flint and him for a late lunch. While they...
Dwayne couldn't sleep. A glance at the luminous dial on his wristwatch told him it was 4:43 AM, so he rolled his feet to the floor. He'd make his own coffee; June wouldn't mind. June. What a woman! So beautiful it made his eyes hurt just to look at her face. Smart, too. And sweet. She had a sweet disposition. He liked that in a woman. At the end of his marriage, his ex-wife had no sweetness in her. She'd morphed into a shrew. He turned on the shower, let it run until hot water arrived,...
The dinner conversation flowed around the excellence of the meal, the foster-home system, and the War on Terror. They occupied the dining room in David's home. June had announced that she would prepare the meal that night in a kitchen with which she was familiar, and would cook subsequent meals in Darla's kitchen and serve them in the large dining room after more personnel occupied the compound. Darla sat to David's left, Nora to his right. Flint sat next to Darla, and Patty sat between...
Dwayne Holt, Darla's driver/bodyguard, was big, part black, and shaved his head bald. He wore a prosthetic hand on the stub of his left forearm. He rarely wore the fake hand. He preferred a hook, he told David. For reasons Holt didn't specify, he'd worn the prosthetic hand for his first day on the job, and David had not asked him ask why. Holt was Darla's driver, but he wasn't driving for Darla at the moment. He sat behind the wheel of the Escalade, and David occupied the passenger...
While en route to the hospital to visit Vince, David's cell phone rang. With Patty on his lap, and both of them strapped in by the same seatbelt, he didn't have enough time to move Patty, get his cell phone out of his pocket, and answer the call before it was transferred to voice mail. The phone's memory, however, gave him the number. He didn't recognize it, but hit the callback button anyway. Ridley said hello. "Sorry," David said. "Couldn't get to the phone soon enough." "No...
"I'm worried about security at the ranch, Flint," David said. The two men were returning to the compound after meeting Ridley and the runaway. "That effort starts Wednesday, David," Flint said. "A while back, I recruited Carol's driver, a woman named Molly Mahaffey. But Molly had to take care of some personal items, or she would have started sooner. Although we talked about it, I didn't give Darla and Carol a choice regarding gender for a driver. Circumstances put Dwayne at the...
David watched as his mother hurried after her husband. Nora needs to know about this, he thought. George fussed and tried to run away. Darla grabbed him and plopped him on her lap, telling him to sit. "What a mess," David muttered. "You're feeling guilty again, aren't you?" Darla said, frowning at him. "Every time there's a glitch in our family, you blame yourself; you say if you weren't the way you are that we'd be normal. Well, I tried normal, and normal isn't all it's...
Carol arrived early at the compound on purpose. It had been a while since she'd had some loving from her son. Would he, could he, take the time? She found him leaving Darla's house holding the hand of a little girl, a very pretty little girl, the new cook's daughter, Carol discovered when David introduced her to Patricia Wilson. "She prefers Patty to Patricia, Mom," David added. "I've been showing her around the compound." "Are you about finished with your tour?" Carol...
Eileen stared at the phone. Should she risk the call? Yes, calling her mother was a rule, and she was determined to follow all the rules. She took a deep breath, turned on the phone, and dialed her mother's cell phone number. "Mom, it's Sandra," she said, using her real name. She heard a whimpering gasp. "Thank God!" her mother said. "How are you, Sandra? Are you all right?" "I'm fine... now. I couldn't take it anymore, Mom. He raped me, and he lent me to his friends, and they...
Grace Black calmed Vera down by telling her that she could call her anytime. The shelter manager wasn't the brightest bulb in the lighting store, but she was tenacious, gnawed on a problem like a dog with a bone until she solved it, and after moving through a problem, if the same problem happened again, or one similar to it, Vera fixed it using what she'd learned. What Vera couldn't do is fix a problem the first time it surfaced, not without help, and Grace had been her security blanket...
Flint drove away from the Stanley compound wondering what he'd gotten himself into. If it includes Darla Stanley, I don't care, he reflected. Incest! She fucks her brother, her mother, her mother's husband, and her brother's wife. He grinned. And from all indications, she isn't completely opposed to fucking me. That, or she's a tease. He didn't believe she was a tease. Time would tell. She was his employer. She'd have to seduce him, not the other way around. Like my sister when we...
David and Nora sat on a sofa in the Hyatt lobby talking quietly. Nora said, "In a few minutes a Lebanese named Yuusif Hashem will come into the hotel, walk directly to the elevator and take one of the cars to an upper floor. The room where he meets another Arab named Widdaud Ahmad changes for each meeting. I'll point Yuusif out, and you can connect with him tonight and wander around in his past, present, and future. Yuusif is a member of Hezbollah, a terrorist organization backed by Syria...
"No, David. Your approach omits the awesome investigative prowess of the FBI, or do you have a compulsive need to play superhero and do everything yourself?" Although his consciousness didn't breathe, David exhaled a groan. "If you could see me, I'd be blushing. The last thing I want, Nora, is to be some kind of superhero. Clark Kent I'm not. I came to you because I wanted you involved for selfish reasons. I also wanted the FBI involved to eventually prosecute August Boynton's...
"Denise, we both know the view of consciousness based on a neuronal connection doesn't fly. When my consciousness leaves my body, it doesn't take any neurons along for the ride." "Nonetheless, your consciousness maintains some sort of connection to your body during your flights. Your description of reentering your body without your volition during your recent time trips lends credence to the connection. Who's to say that connection isn't neuronal?" David's brow scowled as he...
Staring out through the glass wall overlooking his swimming pool, David watched dark clouds move swiftly across the sky, which seemed odd because the air was heavy with humidity and dead calm at ground level. Lightning flashed, and a few seconds later the rumble of thunder rolled by. It will rain soon, he thought. Did Nora tell the truth? Did she run three days a week, rain or shine? He glanced at his wristwatch. She was late. Perhaps she took a look at the weather and decided she'd run...
Book III, Decisions, is the third and final part of Dani's coming of age trilogy. Chapter VIII is the final chapter of Book III, and hence, the end of "Dani's Story." It is rated X - but a nice 'X.' How else would the saga end? Please be of appropriate age or be gone! Dani's Story Book III - Decisions Chapter VIII - The Ninth and Tenth Days by sissystevie I awoke to a gentle...
Joe glanced toward his daughter cowering against the passenger door of the Escalade. They'd just passed through the gates to Carol and David's estate en route to Nora's apartment. Careful to avoid eye contact with him, Nora hadn't said a word about her blatant exhibition. She felt his eyes on her, and without looking at him, and in a meek tone of voice, said, "I'm sorry, Pops. I went too far again." "Yeah, you did." "For what it's worth, I didn't plan what happened....
"I love him, Pops, and he says he loves me," Nora said to answer her father's query. They were en route to Carol's house to have dinner with Carol and David. Pops was driving David's Escalade. "Why do I sense you're not convinced?" Joe asked. "Probably because I'm not." "Why?" "Lots of reasons. I don't really know David that well. I know him well enough to be in lust with him, but love is another issue. I'm not like you, Pops. I don't fall in love at first sight. Also,...
The one. Hanna. Knowing her name thrilled him. He felt closer to her already, and he hadn't touched her yet. He didn't know her last name and didn't care, didn't really want to know it. Hanna was enough. Hanna. The hunt was done; the stalk begun, and the urge was upon him. He fingered the switchblade deep in his pocket and watched the girl smile coquettishly as her flirting, dark eyes settled on some boys leaning on a railing doing what boys do at a shopping mall: look nonchalant in...
Joe stopped his old pickup on Carol's driveway and turned off the engine. It kept chugging for a few seconds anyway. I know how you feel, old girl, he said silently to the cantankerous machine. You're tired, all worn out, but please, please, don't give up your ghost for a couple more months. He hoped the compensation package Steve mentioned included the use of one of the vehicles at Arabian Downs. Of course, Steve and Darla might not want to hire him after they found out about David and...
Joseph Alton Patterson stepped out of his beat-up pickup truck, grimaced when the engine turned over a few more times before rattling to a stop. He glanced at the stucco buildings in front of him. Like a fuckin' rabbit warren, he thought. One of the apartments in one of the buildings belonged to his daughter, but which one? To him, they all looked alike. He glanced at a scrap of paper in his hand, cursed and pulled a pair of drugstore reading glasses from his shirt pocket. Apt. 226, Building...
One day shortly before David turned seventeen, he concentrated and pictured his math teacher in his mind, and then wished he could connect with him. Suddenly his consciousness looked down on the slovenly man. Eager to test the possibilities of his new approach, he pictured Denise, someone he'd never met while in his body, and in a flash, his consciousness hovered over her in Albuquerque as she moved her fingers over the keyboard of a computer. Excited, he tested his newfound ability with a...
"It's just not right," Nora said. David's trip into her father's future upset her, probably more than anyone gathered to deal with what David had witnessed, including her father. "David, you shouldn't be messing around in anyone's past or future. You said yourself that you could alter the past or future with your time trips. It's just not right. You're not God. You're a man, and you shouldn't be messing around in God's bailiwick." "Whoa, Nora. What I do isn't close to...
Colors were brighter, but they didn't glow with neon-like clarity - not yet. Sounds were crisp and clear, but their volume wasn't much above normal. The urge had not yet flipped the volume knob to the right, intensifying the sounds so they reverberated off his eardrums as if he were standing front-row-center at a rock concert. Soon his skin would become super-sensitive, so sensitive even his loosest clothing brushing against it would make him want to scream. He knew the signs. The urge was...
"Knowing you, Mom, I predict you have a plan to get Joe and Nora together?" Darla said. "Tell us about it." "No plan," Carol said. "Being the manipulative bitch I am, I did have a plan, or rather the bare bones of a plan, but..." Carol shrugged. "What can I say? I love him. I won't be a party to any plot to get Joe and Nora together." Darla looked surprised. "Are you saying because you love him you don't want him to have sex with anyone but you?" "Not at all. Joe and Darla...

When David checked on his mother, she was sound asleep. He hovered over her face and gave her a soft, goodnight kiss, and then watched her sleep for a while. Like Darla, when she slept she looked so childlike and innocent. She rolled over and the sheet fell away. She was naked. Her voluptuous, naked body, unlike her face, looked neither childlike nor innocent. He caressed the side of her face with feather-like touches and kissed her neck just below her ear and suddenly realized what he'd...
After his communion with the dark-haired beauty in New Orleans, exhilarating and satisfying as it was, he'd still sensed the experience was less than perfect. It troubled him when he couldn't immediately define the imperfection. He relived the event and previous events daily, but in a fractured manner, certainly not in sequence from beginning to end. In fact, he purposefully avoided a sequential review, preferring a random, in-depth reassessment of each moment within each element of the...
"Now what?" Joe asked. Nora forced her avid gaze from her father's throbbing erection to his face, a face with a questioning, concerned expression, but his eyes were full of lust. "You have a beautiful cock, Pops," she said as her hand continued to stroke its length. Now what? he'd asked. She didn't have an answer. She hadn't thought beyond seeing and touching his erection. Her mind had focused on those goals only, and now they'd been achieved, she realized she didn't have another...
Wow, Colleen thought as she watched David and his lady approach Carol's patio and hot tub. Although stark naked, the striking couple strode boldly, both obviously comfortable with their bodies, and well they should be. David looked like Michelangelo's statue of the biblical character with his name. What a hunk! Nora moved like a sleek, golden cougar, lean and smooth, graceful and regal. Nora took Colleen's breath away. What a beauty! Colleen couldn't decide who excited her more, the man...

When David and his mother arrived home, David handed a heavy bag to Darla. "The tapes that make you and Barbara victims are in this bag, Darla, along with the camera coach had hidden in the locker room. Destroy the tapes and the camera, and destroy the unlabeled tape in the other bag. Barbara, you're the star on that tape." He handed his mother the other bag. "Inside this bag, besides the tape I just mentioned, you'll find evidence that will put coach behind bars. The evidence consists...
The horse buyers from Arizona occupied a large, horseshoe-shaped booth in Denny's. They were chatting and eating breakfast when Joe interrupted several simultaneous conversations. "Darla, I've been thinkin'. If David is successful and buys Brigand, we should consider going Straight Egyptian at the ranch and sell off our Egyptian-Related horses." "Please, explain, Joe," Darla said. "Brigand is a Straight Egyptian. He'd become our senior stallion. Our two best mares are Straight...
Carol soaked in water as hot as she could stand. The fragrances from the bath oils she'd used filled the air, and candles provided the only light in the room. She leaned her head back and tried to relax. Before going to her room, she'd stopped and knocked on her son's door and asked him to honor her privacy tonight. She needed to think, and she didn't want to deal with wondering if he were hovering where he could see her or touch her. He'd promised to respect her privacy. Memories...
"Stupid question," Joe said with aplomb as he sat on the sofa and started to pull off a boot. Nora jumped up to help him. He'd managed to pull off one boot before she straddled his other leg. Placing his stocking-covered foot on her bare bottom, he pushed when she pulled on the boot. It came off with a sucking sound. "Now that's a sight to remember," Darla said laughing. "Help me get rid of the rest of his clothes," Nora said as she unbuckled his belt and popped the top button on...
