Pulling away from the motel near the Pittsburg airport, Dave felt a wave of loneliness sweep over him. Two of the women he loved had just departed to go ‘HOME’. Home, about a thousand miles south, was where he wished he could be right then. Home with all his friends and lovers. Maybe this was one of the lessons he needed to learn on this trip: he didn’t need to roam, despite how much he loved riding his fancy Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Dave sighed and turned east and then southeast, again avoiding the Interstate highways. For a Saturday morning, he thought traffic was light. He followed the GPS on his phone to the destination he’d programmed in the night before: Fallingwater, the unique home that Frank Lloyd Wright had designed in 1935. Again, he’d bought tour tickets ahead of time over the Internet and glad he did because the place was not as serene as the original owners would have liked; he figured there were over a hundred people prowling around the house and grounds. Nonetheless, he was fascinated by the historic landmark and what it represented. He was surprised to hear that the home was actually planned completely by Wright in about two hours.
Dave puttered around on back roads heading roughly east towards State College. He wanted to see Penn State, but in no rush to get there, especially since there was another weather front full of rain approaching the area. At one of his stops, he researched the route ahead and decided to stop in a small berg named Hollidaysburg. The town had a movie theater and several motels as well as B&Bs. One phone call got him a room at the Allegheny Street Bed and Breakfast. After securing that he had the room, he asked about the motorcycle, and the receptionist told him they’d have him store his bike overnight in what used to be the carriage house behind the renovated turn-of-the-century home.
Dave arrived about four p.m., and brought his gear inside. The home’s owner, a small woman about fifty he guessed, had him store the bike and the things he didn’t need in a locked garage. As a result, he only brought inside a small duffle bag and a saddlebag – his clothes, toiletries, and computer. The rain started at five o’clock.
Dave came downstairs after showering, shaving, and putting on some nicer clothes than what he rode in. He looked out at the rain. The owner appeared and assessed him. She chuckled at his dilemma, “You were wanting to go out somewhere for dinner and stay dry, I presume from the look on your face?”
“I was. I have rain gear upstairs, so I guess I should get something before I head off to forage for food. I saw several places a block or two away when I arrived. If you have a recommendation and an umbrella I could borrow, I’d sure appreciate it. I promise to return it after dinner.”
“Oh, pooh. Don’t go to any of those places. Those are just sub shops and pizza places. The better restaurants are out by the highway, and that’s too far to walk. Stay here and I’ll feed you, if you don’t mind eating with an old lady. That’s the price of a home cooked meal.”
“Really? I don’t want to put you out, and by the way I don’t see any ‘old ladies’ around.”
“You’re blind, then. I’m used merchandise – over fifty and single.”
“You’re cute and very attractive, moreover your home is neat and contemporary, and reflects your personality and I like everything I see. If you’re sure I won’t put you out, I would be delighted to dine with you. Can I help in some way and I’ll certainly pay for the privilege? Normally, I’d bring a bottle of wine to such an event, but I’m ill-prepared today.”
“You won’t be a bother and there’s no charge I’d like the company in fact, even with a biker, although you don’t act like my stereotype of one.”
“Chew tobacco, spit a lot, act tough, carry brass knuckles, drop ‘F’ bombs in my limited but colorful vocabulary, and maintain a scruffy appearance?”
“Pretty close. I wouldn’t feel safe with one of those types. Just what is your type?”
Dave teased, “Do you watch TV?”
“Sure?”
“Ever watch a show called The Circle on one of the off-network cable channels?”
Mariah’s eyes squinted at him then put her glasses on and took a step closer to examine him. Under her breath, he heard her swear. “Shit. You’re that guy in the show, aren’t you? You have a bunch of wives.”
Dave shrugged, “I just left two of them in Pittsburgh this morning. They were going to fly home to Sarasota. I’m taking a solo vacation, meeting interesting people such as yourself, and seeing some of the sights along the way. I was at Fallingwater earlier today, as a for instance. Previous days, I did Monticello and Luray Caverns with Penny. I’m going to meander east and north, avoid the big cities, and head into New England when I leave here.”
Mariah pointed at a kitchen chair, “Not many motorcycle riders care about Fallingwater, I bet. Sit.” A moment later she put a chilled bottle of Chardonnay, a wine bottle opener, and two wine glasses in front of him without further instructions. Dave chuckled; he could take a hint, especially one given with such a nice smile.
Mariah said, “I am not a regular viewer of that show, or any others, for that matter; I will be from now on. I’m more of a reader than a watcher. I like to create my own images of the people who’re the main characters in books or stories, and see as the plot and character development unfold and I learn more about them whether I was right or not. Some of my reading you might even consider trashy.”
“Trashy? How’s that?”
“Romance novels – the kind with a dashing long-haired muscular man sweeping a maiden in distress off her feet on the cover. She, of course, is over-flowing the tight bodice on her under-sized dress and inevitably looks like a hot blonde would have looked two-hundred years ago. Once you get to reading, however, you may find out that the heroine is a redhead or brunette, and that the muscular lord is anything but a rogue that she needs to be saved from by a handsome stable hand she has seriously underestimated. The publishers don’t always match up the covers with the contents, except usually for the title.” She laughed.
Mariah went on, “Tell me about your TV show or about the Circle. I guess the latter is more interesting since somebody decided to do a show about it. I recall that the place is very special, but I can’t remember why.”
Dave gave the somewhat sterilized version of what the Circle had been and had become as more and more pledges became members. He talked about some of the fundamental beliefs and expectations people had about each other, and then about the love and emotional bonding inside the gates. He hinted at the sex, but left explicit mention unstated. He did tell the story about how he and Alice started to loosen up, after Alice caught her best friend in flagrante delicto in the car next to where she parked one morning at her work.
Mariah laughed and poured them both some more wine. “So, you and your wifey were goody-goodies?”
Dave chuckled and got a little more open with his comments, “Of the most naïve and protected kind. Our marriage was almost sterile up to that point. Sex was something we never talked about and only did out of an obligation to the institution. If I’m honest, I might admit that there was a huge amount of acting out the way a husband or wife ‘should’ be, and not a lot of love. The love came later, after we loosened up and realized the potential for love in the universe if we loved more than one person. Before that, we were pretending our love for each other the way we thought others wanted us to be – more ‘shoulds’.
“A colleague of mine was consulting to the public utility where I worked – Pam. She was the type of person that made it easy to fall in love with. Alice and I BOTH fell in love with her. Only then, did my feelings also pop to a new level for Alice ... and Pam. I felt that way about both of them. Heather came along right after that, and then Julie and Cricket, and each time I popped into a better and more rewarding place in my life. Scarlett then fell for me or rather us, before I fell for her. I guess I felt that I couldn’t believe that a movie star would feel that way about us. She did, and finally I accepted the fact.”
“And you have ten wives?” Mariah said idly.
He nodded, “Penny will become a wife, and maybe one or two others. I think of them that way now. I met another woman on this trip and we bonded in a way that suggests she might also be a candidate. Her name is Sue. I think she’s going to Sarasota to kick the tires and see whether she likes the other people that I love. I also love a girl named Jenny that lives in the Circle that may as well be a wife.”
“But you love or make love with all the other women?”
Dave nodded. “We’re kind of insular. We have some strict requirements about outsiders, as I hinted at earlier. They must have a clean test for STDs, for instance. They can’t be in a relationship we’d destroy or fracture if we created a sexually intimate relationship with them. The potential for a longer-term relationship should also be evident, although we glide by that sometimes, especially with outsiders – people not in the Circle.”
Mariah said, “So, if most of those requirements were met, and a woman asked, you’d make love with her? I’m recalling what you said over dinner about the Circle being a very egalitarian place, where gender roles typical in society weren’t honored. In your
Circle, you implied that the men weren’t the usual ones asking for a ‘date’.”
Mariah hovered around the dining table clearing away the dishes, and then putting things in the dishwasher or leftovers in the refrigerator as she waited for Dave to respond. He’d tried to help her, but she insisted he remain at the table.
Dave nodded, “Yes, I guess that’s exactly what would happen.” Dave was quickly assessing the situation, because of the way Mariah had asked the question and also the longing look she gave him. He realized he was in the middle of a seduction that he’d not intended. Instead, the hostess of the B&B was hitting on him
Mariah walked around the dining room table where they’d been sitting. She leaned in and kissed Dave. She said, “I’m asking. I have my test results down the hall that I just got this week for no particular reason, other than ... I guess I hoped that someone like you would come into my life.”
Dave took Mariah’s hand and guided her so she sat on his lap. He hadn’t realized what a really small woman she was until then. Although older, she was Dave’s type: short, cute, and very fuckable. Moreover, she apparently had a set of breasts on her chest that would be a great playground when they started to make love.
Dave said, “I know this is a very non-PC question, but why? Why me? Why now? Do you do this with your other boarders? I have no expectations.”
Mariah laughed, “I’ll take the last question first. No, I’ve never had sex with anyone other than my late husband. He was older and has been gone six years. I do have sex with my adult toys in my bedside drawer. As for the ‘Why now?’ question, I prefer the ‘Why not now?’ question. I am horny ALL the fucking time. I must be wired inside my head or my pussy in some funny way, because I masturbate a couple of times each day. Moreover, I love pornography. I like to watch people fucking – and I can get even more explicit about that, but even that admission is embarrassing. I mentioned I like to read those trash novels; well, some of them are very ‘X-rated’.
“The ‘Why you?’ question might be interesting to you, as well. I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that the motorcycle really got my blood churning. I’d expected a bad boy, and I worried about who I’d rented a room to over the phone, but then you come in and you’re polite and gracious, and even appealing and sexy. I thought I’d be scared shitless, and I am in a way, but I’m not threatened. You are a ‘good boy’ but doing some ‘bad boy’ things, like the bike and your trip.
“Moreover, you give off vibes like you know exactly how to read my body like a book and play me like a virtuoso. When you arrived and we first talked a few hours ago, my body responded so well to you that I started to flush my female juices out to attract you by my aroma and readiness. I had to go wash and put a pad in my undies. You, kind sir, turn me on. I hope you’ll tolerate an old lady long enough to make her fantasy about you come true.”
Dave leaned in and kissed Mariah and felt her whole body relax into his. The kiss was his acceptance of their mating. She turned and pressed her breasts again his chest, allowing the front of her scoop neck dress to gape open for his enjoyment. She smiled when he looked at her playground.
Rose and Dave prowled around Boston doing touristy things. The one advantage of having a motorcycle was that they were much easier to park than a car. Dave went into a garage near Quincy Market and parked in a series of spaces designated just for motorcycles. He was the only other bike that morning. They roamed around the picturesque waterfront market, went to the Aquarium, walked part of the Freedom Trail, and did some other shopping, having things they bought shipped home to Florida. In...
Google will tell you that using the Interstate highways it should take just under two hours to get from Hamilton, Ohio, to Lexington, Kentucky. Dave took the back roads and made lots of stops. At three-thirty in the afternoon, he still hadn’t quite reached Lexington, and he’d been on the road since eight that morning after leaving Martin and Sasha’s home. It was Monday morning. Dave stopped beside a beautiful farm surrounded by various paddocks, each outlined with a bright white painted...
I finished up readying the house for sale, shipped a few things I wanted to keep to Anna, repacked my motorcycle gear and turned the key to the house over to our real estate broker. The next morning I left Dillon to head south into Rhode Island. I wanted to see the famous Newport Mansions, and by eight that morning I rode slowly past the historic summer homes of the ultra-rich built over a hundred years earlier. At one mansion, a pretty docent gave me a private tour as well as her telephone...
Saturday was a rainy day. Rose and Dave slept in and then borrowed a car from the motel owner to go a short distance to a McDonalds for breakfast. They also picked up lunch from a sub shop, and then went back to the motel in what had turned into a monsoon. The pair spent the day in the motel room making love and reading, or in the hotel’s gym, with a heavier emphasis on the first activity. Dave and Rose both talked about how compatible they were in their horniness; they both wanted to fuck...
The voice of the female officer of the law sounded loudly and roughly in the bedroom. “Mother, are you all right?” The gun focused on Dave’s forehead as she moved even closer to the bed.” Dave felt Mariah jerk in front of him. The gorgeous leg she’d tossed over his as they’d fucked snapped away, and her body yanked away from his, leaving his flaccid shaft in the cold air of the room. He was wilting rather rapidly in any case. Mariah spoke loudly, “Skye, I’m fine. Put that goddamn gun away...
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...
The morning had a slight chill to it, so Dave had put on his leather jacket. Unlike many of the Harley riders he’d seen through the years, this jacket did not tout a skull and crossbones on the back with the fearsome name of some motorcycle club such as Hell’s Disciples. By ten a.m., he stopped for a coffee and stowed the jacket in his saddlebags, glad that he’d left room for the bulky leather item. He applied some sunscreen, and was off again. The morning route took him almost directly east...
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 mid-September temperatures were in the high eighties. The headlines on television and the newspapers again talked about how records were being broken across the country with new high temperatures reported all across the country. Alice slipped on her Daisy Duke shorts that had been slashed to shreds to allow air into her most private parts, tied the man’s shirt from Dave’s closet at home under her breasts, slipped into her motorcycling boots, and mounted the back of the Harley. Dave had...
Dave came down the stairway of the Cessna Citation and broke into tears as he reached the ground. He got down on his knees and kissed the tarmac. He hadn’t been on Circle soil since June first, and here it was a Sunday afternoon a week-and-a-half before Thanksgiving. He’d been gone almost six months. He couldn’t imagine what some of the military men felt like when they got home after two back-to-back yearlong tours in some godforsaken place in the Middle East. He had a new appreciation for...
The packing job of luggage on the motorcycle was a masterpiece of arrangement and the art of bungee cord use. Ginger tested things here and there to be sure nothing would blow off as they headed south out of Wichita. Dave turned back to her and patted her snug rear end in her Daisy Duke shorts. “Against the wall and spread ‘em, babe!” Ginger leaned against the brick wall of the hotel and spread her legs as instructed, just as if Dave were a cop about to frisk her. Dave rubbed a copious...
Dave bounced up on the stage from the side aisle. He surveyed the twenty-two-thousand people in the arena and waved to each quadrant of them. There was thunderous applause and cheers. He thought to himself, ‘Shit, I could get used to this ego trip.’ He spread both arms wide and then wrapped them around Ashley and the two of them shared beautiful kiss that was a lot more than just a peck on the lips. The applause got louder, especially when the two of them appeared kissing on the large screen...
About one a.m., Dave looked around the bed and chuckled to himself. He had wiped out three women, leaving them speechless and in a state that Dave had heard of as ‘rode hard and put away wet’. The term had been corrupted from equestrian usage, and these days referred to the totally disheveled and exhausted appearance of the three women who’d been happily fucked past their limits and endurance. Lolly had initially captured Dave’s attention, so he gave her dedicated attention, even giving her...
The trip from the Meadows to Bret and Jean’s home just north of Forsyth, Georgia, took eight hours, mostly because Dave spent none of the mileage on any Interstate highway. He pulled into their driveway about four o’clock, having clocked just over four-hundred miles. He’d taken three rest stops along the route, each at some off-beat place where he could get a coffee or some other kind of interesting refreshment as well as walk off some of the kinks in his legs and back. He’d had a lot of...
Dave had to admit that after the past thousand miles that he was tired and somewhat bored of driving through farmland. This was most of the country, regardless of state. He’d developed a new appreciation for small towns along the way; places like Irene, South Dakota, with a population of four-hundred. As he rode slowly through the small community, he noted the pride in the town that residents had: six girls from the town had become Miss South Dakota in recent years, plus another sign declared...
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...
Alice snuck back into the bed and next to her husband. She whispered, “Did you like that – watching me fuck Jim again?” Dave grinned and nodded. He whispered, “I did. A beautiful middle of the night fuck with your new lover; what’s not to enjoy watching.” “You’re not mad at me?” “Hell, no. Ever since we loosened up, I’ve enjoyed watching you fuck other men. I have these secret cuckold tendencies that I even admit to. Bill Lewis told me they were more Stag-Vixen kinks to put a finer spin on...
When Ginger and Dave awoke the next morning, he discovered a text on his phone from Ashley from the night before. ‘Arriving late Friday morning with entourage. Rehearsal starting at 2:00 p.m. Meet in our hotel suite. I love you. Ashley.’ Dave showed the message to Ginger. “Oh, my God, this is becoming so real. I’m actually going to meet a star.” “The star is just as nice as you are.” “Huh? I will feel so inferior to her.” “Don’t. If you’re willing, stick around and we’ll all make love...
Dave left Lexington, Kentucky, mid-morning after he and Carli made love one more time. Their parting was kind of teary, but she was already trying to practice some of the Circle mores about not being possessive, and to her that also meant not being clingy about him. Dave promised to see her again, especially if she were pledging or a member by the time her returned to Sarasota. Those words were comforting to her. Dave meandered south on backroads past many other horse farms and then on some...
Dave could both feel and hear Cricket laughing over the helmet’s intercom as they rode north towards Minneapolis-St. Paul. He asked, “What’s so funny?” Cricket said into the intercom, “May and Sara ... the look on their faces when they realized who you were ... who I was. You can’t say that we took advantage of our celebrity status with them. If anything, they seduced us.” “We weren’t unwilling participants,” Dave chuckled. “Oh, I had a delightful time with Andy and Seth. With the sexual...
The day was perfect. The temperature was about eighty; there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Cricket cradled his head in her lap as he looked up at the sky and her. They lay on some soft grass at a rest stop along the highway in the middle of Wisconsin again, this time heading for Minneapolis. Dave ruminated, “We did good, Grasshopper.” Cricket laughed, “You think I’m some Kung Fu expert? I am a brown belt, you know, in whatever it is that Wan Suh is teaching us. And, yes, I agree with you. That...
Dave had spent three days with Tracy, Ahleah, and C.K. It rained for one of them, forcing them to stay in bed almost the entire day. They were in bed the other two days, too, except for some alternative exercise outside and in the hotel’s gym. Sunday evening, he got a text from Pam: ‘Be at the FBO at Burlington, VT Airport (BTV) at noon tomorrow. You have a visitor plus a rider for a bit. Love. Pam.’ Tracy had peeked over his shoulder, “Pam is one of your wives?” “She is. If you want to...
Dave stood in the middle of the stage at the Target Center facing over twenty-thousand fans. His voice was mellow and smooth, but with that country twang, singing along with the single acoustic guitar that Ricardo played about twenty feet to his right. The song was This Town’s Too Small, a somewhat sad song about unrequited love in a small western town. As he drew out the long last note of the song, the entire arena erupted in thunderous applause. Ashley came forward from where she’d been...
The song ‘Jackson’ had turned into a fifteen-minute jam-session between Ashley, Dave, the backup singers, and each member of the band. Everyone in the entourage was onstage at the Mississippi Coliseum. The others in the large arena were fifteen-thousand fans of Ashley – a sell-out crowd. They were wild, and they LOVED Ashley. There were signs, t-shirts, banners, and a hundred other ways they expressed that love besides making one helluva lot of noise after every song she sang. Dave was...
The day was beautiful and warm. Dave looked forward to traveling across Delaware and into Maryland, staying well north or Baltimore. He’d wanted to see Annapolis, but given the distances and traffic involved he’d opted to bypass that city on this trip. After some morning sex that resulted in both Dave and Gabbie falling asleep with each other for a further nap in her bed, they got up and prepared to travel. Gabbie was aghast at how small a bag she was ‘allowed’, but she had a wardrobe that...

Dave’s departure from the sorority house at LSU in Baton Rouge was delayed another day for multiple reasons – weather, but really the desire he felt to love the four new women in his life. The weather turned idea eventually. Traffic was light. The motorcycle was loaded and ready to roll. But four co-eds pleaded for goodbye lovemaking with him: Phoenix, Devon, Bonnie, and Mallory. Dave spent quality time with each of the young women, naked and embedded deep inside them as they also romanced...
Jessie sat beside Dave and thought about how to start with her comments about the Circle, and what she’d learned so far about the Circle. Dave sipped on a diet coke the restaurant had refilled for him for about the sixth time. Jessie said, “The open sex seems overstated. I can’t believe it’s that rampant. In one sense, it sounds too good to be true, and in another it’s damn right shocking – and I say this working in the sex industry. I’ve also done some downright lewd and salacious things in...
Since Simon and Lindsay Rhoades were heading to Chicago to the same place Dave and Alice were, more or less, they agreed to caravan with them. After some map work, they opted to join Simon and Lindsay again in a campground on a pretty lake just outside of Madison, Wisconsin. The two couples had slept late in Simon’s camper trailer due to the rampant sex they’d had with each other the night before and then first thing that morning. They didn’t get underway until completing a late breakfast or...
Dave and Sue were sitting in her small living room in Raleigh when Dave got a phone call from Ken Toomey. He was having a glass of wine. Sue was working on a Diet Coke. They’d just been going over options for where to go for dinner. Dave had followed her from Cape Hatteras to Raleigh that afternoon, wanting to spend as much time as possible with her before she had to take a flight the next day and start a multi-day circuit around the country. “Ken, does the name Sue Gaylord ring a bell for...
Roy sat in one of the more comfortable chairs on the patio with a circle of friends around. Elise returned to her chair with a glass of water for Roy, and a Southern Comfort Manhattan for herself. He looked longingly at the alcoholic drink as she sipped and talked to Pam. Dave said, “So, what is your physical therapy all about?” “I’m taking all sorts of blood thinners and other crap, so no alcohol for a while. I have a very long list of foods I am to avoid – carbs and fats, mostly. I am to...
Dave and Ashley stood naked in the dimly lit living room. He’d just removed the last of her clothing. They’d started sharing kisses over dinner, just the way some of the others in the private dining room had. To not embarrass the hotel staff, everyone had kept things pretty tame. Dave was pleased to see Ginger and Robby making out in the elevator back up to their several suites of rooms. What he hadn’t expected was what he saw across the room as the two of them hugged. Robby had removed...
Wendy came into the cocktail hour from her home on the Circle. She looked concerned but not enough not to order up a glass of wine that she downed in nearly two gulps. She put the glass back on the bar for a refill. Dave said, “What’s wrong?” Wendy responded, “My mystery caller from Washington, D.C. called again just a little while ago. He told me he had a minor update on Dev. He said that his contact exchanged about three sentences with him about his mission. He said that Dev told him to...
Rose strolled up from the small beach using both hands to wring the water from her hair. The bathing suit she wore was a Wicked Weasel bikini in a neon green color. The neon color of the suit drew attention to her body, but then any ogler realized that they could see her areolas and nipples, and even her slit through the very thin material. Dave smirked and watched a few other men and women at the state park beach leer his girlfriend. There seemed to be some foaming drool, especially on the...
The next two weeks, Dave had Rose as his steady passenger on the 1988 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail. They had to make several stops to buy some extra clothing to account for the weather and also the contemporary dress where they decided to stop. The more populated New England areas were less tolerant of Rose’s scantily dressed body – her preferred mode of riding. Dave was ecstatic and told Rose how he felt and why. “I’m a forty-five-year-old guy riding around the countryside with the hot...
Martin shook Dave’s hand as he left the house. He reminded Dave to relax and enjoy the day and what it brought. Dave noted the wink he gave his wife as she heard his departing words. Dave and Sasha sat and talked over several cups of coffee about the friends she remembered from the Circle. They’d been there many times about ten years ago, and then Martin’s job in Ohio got more intense, and he also had started The Ring patterned on the Circle and what he’d learned. Dave’s brother Aaron had...
Ashley’s home recording studio comprised a large area in the lower level of her large home. The main studio was about thirty-by-forty feet – plenty of room for the band, back-up singers, and Ashley. Looking onto that room through a thick plate glass was the good-sized control room, with a digital mixer board that had fifty channels that could be finely tuned using multiple controls for each channel as it recorded or played back various songs. Several large computers also graced the room....
Ashley’s bus pulled up to the Birmingham Convention Center at two o’clock on Saturday afternoon. Ashley, Kyle, Marina, Dave, and everyone else that had been in the Wednesday rehearsal got off the bus. Behind the bus, a two-axle truck also pulled up and stopped. A few minutes later, a dozen ‘roadies’ from the BCC were unloading the truck and carrying the band’s musical instruments into the large arena. Ashley took Dave’s hand and led him into the large theater. She explained, “I’ve sung here...
The plans to stay in Chicago with Chris Reeve and Eva Vega changed. Alice explained to them in a phone call over a week earlier that there’d been many changes in Circle attendance. While the Convention of the Circle Fan Club that Chris and Eva had arranged was still at the Wrigley Convention Center, there were more and more people from the Circle attending than Chris and Eva could possibly fit in their apartment, so they’d arranged for several suites at the Marriott – Downtown. Dave liked...
The three weeks leading up to their vacation, Rachel had become something of a fixture at the house. She had her own car, so she didn’t have to bum rides from friends or parents. Rachel really liked coming here for she was accepted for who she was 100%. The fact that there were a multitude of holes to fuck and even a couple of real dicks to ride certainly helped. Also, one person at the house seemed to have a serious crush on her, Samantha. For her part she said it was because Rachel was a...
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,...
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,...
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’...
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 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...
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...
