Jake sat at the kitchen table with Jan and the second wave. Leanne, Kara, Julie, and Carol and all the servants except Annabelle were at the Broadman’s new house, giving it a thorough cleaning while they waited for the movers to show up. Brian was still sleeping.
“Here’s how today’s lesson works. It’s been four days since your first treatment. You’ve been able to detect strong primary emotions for several days and now you’re getting to where you can sense more subtle ones. Jan will be our test subject. I’m going to provoke various emotions in her. I’ll give you a few seconds to read them. Any questions?”
“Isn’t that going to be kind of hard on Jan?” Shannon asked. “I mean unless they are all going to be happy emotions.”
“I understand that some of the emotions will be unpleasant,” she said. “But the context matters. I’ll know that what I’m feeling will have been provoked by Jake for this occasion.” She turned to Jake. “You’re not going to rake me over the coals, are you?”
“I had planned on some negative emotions. A broad variety of emotions will make for a more effective lesson. Do you want to reconsider?”
“No, each emotion won’t last long. I should be okay.”
“If you’re sure. I had planned on giving you some nice emotions, too. In fact, here’s the first one.”
Jake activated an array of Jan’s memory recall indexes, bringing up memories of her wedding. He cycled quickly through the events, starting with the wedding ceremony and ending with Jan and Mark leaving the reception while guests threw rice and called out best wishes.
Jan beamed at Jake, her eyes bright.
“Definitely happy,” Nina said.
Shannon smiled at Jan. “You were very excited.”
“And proud, too,” Alice said.
“But there’s nervousness, even fear,” Boris said.
Jake nodded approvingly. “Good. You all picked out specific emotions from an experience that provoked a variety of emotions.”
“What was the experience?” Nina asked.
“That particular matrix of emotions comes courtesy of Jan’s marriage to that handsome catch, Mark Harrison,” Jake said. “Here we go again.”
Jan suddenly looked at Jake with a painful expression.
“Grief, sadness,” Nina said.
Shannon nodded. “Loss and hurt.”
“Betrayal,” Boris said.
Alice looked thoughtful. “There’s an acceptance that lingers as the grief fades away. What happened, Jan?”
“Jake brought back the memory of a romance that ended badly.”
“Those are both old memories that Jan has thought about a lot. That’s why the emotions that are produced are so complicated. Here’s one that’s more spontaneous.”
Jake touched Jan’s arm to maximize his resolution and focused on her unborn baby. Once he had the image firmly in his mind, he sent it to Jan.
“Excitement, again,” Nina said.
“Lots of anxiety,” Boris said.
“I feel something, but I don’t know the name,” Shannon said. “It combines protectiveness and affection and high hopes.”
“Those are maternal instincts,” Alice said.
“Yes, indeed,” Jan said, placing her hands on her belly and giving them a big smile.
Jake smiled back at her fondly before he turned back to the others.
“Here’s one that will come in handy for you, Alice,” Jake said. “I’m going to use Boris to demonstrate.”
Boris looked apprehensive.
“I’m going to say something to our stoical friend here. As I do, I want you all to read his emotions.” Jake turned to Boris. “That very cute and very willing Carol Finch comes up to you, Boris, and says she’s very horny and that you look like just the snack to satisfy her.”
Boris looked startled and then blushed.
“Damn it, Jake,” he barked.
“He’s very embarrassed,” Nina said.
“Yeah, he got there eventually,” Alice said, “but he was excited by the idea at first.”
“I didn’t sense any disinterest or revulsion,” Shannon said. “Boris, I’m not sure that you’re the proper, respectable guy you want us to think you are.”
“Go easy on him,” Jake said. “You’re seeing a very common reaction. Being a man of the heterosexual persuasion, he had a sexual thought when confronted with the idea of an available, sexually-mature young woman. Then social conditioning kicked in and made him resist. And he did, showing that he is a responsible member of society who’s entitled to brag on his impulse control.” Jake turned to Boris. “On behalf of society, I applaud you. Meanwhile, you’re wasting your breath snapping at me. You will be an open book for these women very soon. My little game is nothing compared to what they will see then.”
“I bet you won’t like it either the next time you get put on the spot,” Boris said.
“No, I don’t suppose I will,” Jake said, “but it was for a good cause. I’m sure Alice appreciates your sacrifice. She’s been talking about probing some of the men at work to see if they would be interested in a certain, risky kind of adult entertainment. What we did was for her benefit, to show her one technique for delving into a person’s attitudes.”
“All you did was mentioned Carol to Boris,” Alice said. “What’s so special about that?”
“You’ll notice that Boris didn’t answer, and yet, you now have an in-depth knowledge of his feelings about sex with underage girls. And more than that, you know his real attitude. If you only listened to his answer, he might have told you the truth or he might have lied. With this technique, you know the truth either way. During the coming week, you’ll learn how to dig out thoughts that are buried in the unconscious, but until then, this will help you to learn a person’s attitudes even without reading his thoughts.”
Jake continued the lesson. He had just finished the tenth exercise when the doorbell rang.
Jake cast out to see who was there.
“Shit, it’s Donna Glenn,” he said.
“Glenn? Isn’t she the reporter you were feeding the Cox stories to?” Boris said.
“Yes, that’s her,” Jake said.
Annabelle walked into the kitchen.
“A visitor for you, Jake. She says her name is Donna Glenn.”
“Well, let’s get the most out of this that we can. We’ll incorporate Donna into the lesson. All of you are showing good discrimination at reading emotions. When I bring Donna in, pay close attention to what she’s feeling. But don’t focus just on her. Try to read her, me, and Jan in turn. Try to absorb the entire emotional landscape of ... of, well, whatever it is Donna’s here to do.”
Jake went to the front hall where Donna was standing, looking pensive. She was thinner than she had been before the accident but looked like she had mostly recovered. Her hair was very short, maybe only an inch long. They must have shaved it off at the hospital.
“Hello, Donna,” he said, reaching out to offer her a hug. “It’s a surprise to...”
Jake froze. He read Donna’s mind only to find her reading him back.
“Holy shit,” he breathed.
“I’m not going crazy, am I, Jake? Something really happened to me, didn’t it?”
“Darlin’, it sure seems that way to me. Come on back. Let’s get you a cup of coffee and sort things out.”
Jake sifted through her mind as they walked back to the kitchen. He asked Annabelle to bring Donna coffee as they sat at the table. Donna looked around.
“So there are more than just the two of us, Jake,” she said.
“It’s actually a very rare thing, Donna, maybe a hundred in the whole country. But I didn’t expect you to be one of them. You weren’t when I visited you in the hospital.”
“I can barely remember when you came. It was all very dreamlike. If not for the nurses talking about the three people who prayed over me for two days before my miraculous recovery, I would probably have dismissed it as a hallucination.”
“How long have you been able to read minds?”
“It started in the hospital, maybe a week after you left. I had started to recover. I was getting stronger and had finally stopped sleeping all the time. But there were these odd symptoms that seemed to be left over from the accident. I kept feeling things that didn’t make sense, seemingly coming out of left field. They didn’t match up to what I was thinking about. I kept feeling happiness and sadness, hope and despair, hunger and horniness. The doctors couldn’t explain it. They kept studying my brain scans trying to figure out what could be causing it.
“Everything got even more bizarre when I heard my neurologist talking to himself about the interesting paper he could write if only he could find the cause of my strange emotions. When I told him I didn’t want him writing about my condition, he denied everything.
“I should explain that my vision was affected by my injuries. I have what the doctors called visual field defects. The occipital lobe damage was bad enough that it disrupted my vision. It was especially bad at first, and I couldn’t really see the people around me.”
“About then I realized that whenever people were close to me, they kept saying the most bizarre things — things that were rude or irrelevant or off the wall or intensely personal. I thought I was going crazy. I was so freaked out I stopped even telling my doctors about it. I thought they would transfer me to the mental ward.
“It took two weeks before my vision improved enough that I could see that in most cases, the people involved weren’t even moving their lips. It finally clicked what was happening.
“I got out of the hospital yesterday. I went to Jerry Amos’s office in the afternoon to see you, Jake, but Jerry said you didn’t work there anymore. He wouldn’t give me your address, but I read it from his office manager’s mind. Oh, and thanks for the four million dollars, by the way.”
“Don’t thank me. The lawyers talked Cox into doing the right thing.”
“Don’t bullshit me, Jake. I read from Jerry’s mind the conversations you had with him. I know that it’s really you giving away Cox’s money.”
“Sorry. It’s reflex for me to deflect attention away. Tell me, what is your range?”
“Range?”
“How far away can you read minds?”
“I can read everyone here, although his is kind of fuzzy,” Donna said, nodding toward Boris, who was sitting across the table, three or four feet away.
“Can you plant thoughts or emotions into others?”
“Not that I know of. Can you guys do that?”
“Most of the people here can. I couldn’t tell you for sure about other mind readers.”
“Why not?”
“It’s the dirty underbelly of the mind-reading world, Donna. They are so afraid that another mind reader is going to make them into slaves that they almost never come into contact with each other. That keeps us from finding much out about other mind readers.”
“But there were three of you at the hospital and there are six of you here.”
“We are the exception, Donna. In fact, our home here is kind of an experiment to see if mind readers can live together. The existence of my fellow mind readers here is something I keep secret from the other telepaths.”
Donna suddenly realized that knowing the secret of someone who could control others came with a peril all its own.
“Fear,” Alice said.
Nina nodded. “Definitely fear.”
Jake took Donna’s hand. “Be at ease, darlin’. I’m pretty sure we can work this out without making you my slave.”
“Jake, you don’t have to twist my arm or anything. I owe you a lot. I’ll do anything you want.”
Jake read her and found it was true. She was completely loyal to him. Why would that be? There was only one other person who could have done that to her. He looked at Jan with a frown. She looked back at him blandly.
“Whoa, do I really think that?” Donna asked. “Did you do something to me, Jake?”
“It was me,” Jan said. “It was a precaution and an important one, too, one that Jake is too noble to consider, and that will probably lead to his downfall someday. I was reading you and Jake at the front door. I realized that you were a mind reader, so I made you loyal to him. It’s a way to ensure that you didn’t take control of him.”
“I didn’t even realize it until just now, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him. I was already grateful, but what I’m feeling for him now is much more than that.”
“We’ll figure out what the best thing is to do,” Jake said. “Let me take a look at your brain. Maybe I can figure out why you’ve suddenly become a telepath.”
Jake looked at the mind-reading section of her prefrontal cortex. It looked just like the other mind readers. He followed the input nerves back toward the occipital and parietal lobes. They weren’t particularly efficient, but they did manage to propagate a signal along their entire length, if weakly and with some degradation. He looked at the output nerve. There was a dead region just after it departed her prefrontal cortex. Mind-control signals weren’t getting to the transmitter.
Jake looked up at Jan. She had been following along with him.
“I think we can make an educated guess at what happened,” she said. “We stimulated the entire brain when we were treating the diffuse neuronal injury because it affected the whole network of neurons. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t bother distinguishing which nerves I was working on. I energized all the nerves in the part of her brain that I was responsible for. It was apparently enough to connect the brain centers involved.”
“Except the transmitter,” Jake said.
“So it really was you who saved me,” Donna said.
“The doctors didn’t think you were going to live,” Jake said. “We thought it was your last hope.”
“I owe you all for my life. Do you know about the other effects?”
“No, what effects?” Jan asked.
“I’ve always been pretty smart. I’m pretty sure that I’m a lot smarter now. I can reach better conclusions than I could before on less information. And I’m quicker witted, too. My memory is better. My writing is crisper. I’m going to be a better reporter. And that’s before you factor in that I can read people’s minds now. I’m going to be awesome.”
“But can you be subtle?” Jake asked.
“I suppose. Why?”
“You can’t let on that you can read minds or that you know people who can. The mind-reading community isn’t exactly a democracy. In fact, it’s more like a dictatorship run by thugs. If you irritate them, they will come looking to take control of you.”
“What would irritate them?”
“They enforce three rules.”
“What?”
“First, we are forbidden from approaching each other. Second, we don’t take control of one another. Third, we cannot let outsiders know about our existence. You and Jan have broken two-thirds of the laws today already, and it’s not even lunchtime yet.”
“But I didn’t know,” Donna said, her fear projecting to the others.
“It’s okay, Donna,” Jake said. “We’re on your side, and no one but us knows about you. If you are careful you can probably stay below the radar and never have to deal with the Council.”
“The Council?”
“The bullies who run things.”
“You don’t sound like you’re a member of their fan club.”
“No, there’s a good chance that I’m going to end up in conflict with them.”
Boris cleared his throat. “You shouldn’t say more about that until you know what our relationship is going to be with Donna,” he said.
“I suppose you’re right.”
“Jake, you did say that some mind readers can make others think and feel things, didn’t you?” Donna asked.
“I did.”
“How come I can’t?”
“There’s a nerve that’s critical to that function that isn’t working in you.”
“Like the nerves that help me to read other minds?”
“Jan, Ellen, and I inadvertently fixed those nerves but not the one that lets you control others.”
“Could you?”
“Yes.”
“Will you?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why not?”
“I don’t know if I can trust you. Think about all the things you could do if you could make people do what you want. Most of the mind readers I know of use their abilities to do awful things. I won’t be responsible for unleashing that kind of evil.”
“What if I promise not to?”
“No. It doesn’t matter what you promise. You’d have to have the kind of character that would make a promise like that unnecessary.”
“Don’t I?”
“No, I don’t think you do.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Look at the work you do. Have you ever reported a story that hurt people?”
“Lots of times. That’s my job. You’ve helped me do it. We caused a lot of trouble for Tommy Cox.”
“I’m not talking about exposing corrupt public servants. What you did there was entirely justified because you were protecting the public. It’s the other stories I worry about. Have you ever written a story about someone’s unconventional sexual practices or family secrets? Have you reported weird or embarrassing details about people even though it caused them to be humiliated? And for no better reason than it was a titillating story that would draw readers to you and your newspaper? I remember the story of that addicted baseball player who fell off the wagon for one night last year.”
“That wasn’t me. That was the sportswriters.”
“Would you have written the story if it had been you who had broken it?”
She looked down. “Yes, without hesitation.”
“So do you see my problem? Is it right for me to give you the power to work even greater evil?”
“I didn’t say it was evil.”
“You just admitted that you would have hurt someone for no better reason than to help your career. I’m pretty sure that’s what evil is.”
Donna was becoming upset.
“I was just following the usual practices of my profession.”
“I don’t see that that makes it any less evil,” Jake said.
“Hold on a minute,” Jan said. “This is a bigger problem than I think either of you two realizes. Jake, we’ve already loosed this woman on the world. We have already given her great power, even if it’s not as much as you or I have. And you’ve shown that she has the temperament to use it for evil. Maybe not as evil as Harris or the Council, but she’s still selfish enough to hurt people. It’s not enough to just refrain from giving her yet more power. We’ve got to deal with the problem that we’ve already created.”
Friday, August 6, 2010 Jake got home just before five p.m. He got caught up in the early rush hour traffic and the going had been slow. He wandered into the kitchen. Annabelle and Brenda were working on dinner. Looking out back, he saw Shannon, Brian, Julie, Carol, and Christine by the pool. Boris was not home. He had said he was going to catch up on paperwork that he had been neglecting in favor of his duties to Jake’s family. Jan, Leanne, and Kara were in Leanne’s room. Leanne was...
Friday, August 20, 2010 “It’s unusual seeing you out here,” Jan said to Jake. “You went to all that trouble to get this house, and you’re the person who uses the pool the least.” Jake had been sitting by the pool in the late afternoon sun with Ellen, Shannon, and Kate when Jan and Christine had puttered up in their bass boat. “School starts on Monday,” he said. “The summer is almost over. I won’t have many more chances. Besides, I hoped you’d come by and join me.” Jan pulled a lounge...
Friday, August 6, 2010 The door to the garage opened and women started coming in. Brian brought up the rear. The front door opened and more women filed in. “Jake!” Julie cried out. She ran over and kissed him, followed by Carol, and Christine. Emily gave him a kiss on the cheek. Kara patted him fondly on the cheek, as did Leanne. Lizzie gave him a rather stiff kiss on the cheek and then went to Boris and kissed him on the lips. “Everybody, we have a guest,” he said and introduced Donna as...
Tuesday, August 3, 2010 “She’s already awake?” Jake asked. “She’s almost always the first up,” Harris said with a yawn. “I usually sleep until seven. Then I release them one at a time to use the bathroom.” “How are they enjoying their stay?” “What do you think? Except for bathroom breaks they spend all their time lying on their mattresses, paralyzed. They hate their lives. The only reason they don’t hate me, too, is because conversation with me gives them a break from staring at the...
Tuesday, August 3, 2010 “Kate, this is going to be hard for your mother,” Jan said. “Why don’t you let me handle the introductions?” “Is that her?” Kate asked, nodding in the direction of the waitress. “Yes,” Jake said. “She looks so much older.” “These three years have been hard on her,” Jan said. It took a couple of minutes for Marie to find her way over. She wearily pushed herself away from the bar and walked over, frowning. “You are too young to drink,” she said to Jake. She looked...
Monday, August 9, 2010 Annabelle, we need you out here in the entryway. Yes, Jake. She appeared a moment later. “Annabelle, you need to pretend that you were escorting Mr. Hamilton out the door when he fainted. If he presses you for information, say only that. If he demands that you say more, tell him you have other duties, excuse yourself, and leave.” “Okay, Jake.” “Everyone else, go back to where you were when Jan put Hamilton out. Leanne, will you stay here, please? We’ll pretend I...
Monday, August 2, 2010 “I haven’t gotten to the best part yet,” Ellen said excitedly. “You’re not going to believe what happened the day before we flew back.” Leanne and Kara already knew about it, of course. They had been reading it from Ellen since she and Jake had gotten off the plane the day before. “Jake made friends with a guy at the American Embassy and got us an invitation to a diplomatic reception at the Élysée Palace.” “What’s that?” Julie asked. “It’s the residence of the...
Sunday, August 8, 2010 Dom Jake was irritated that his session with Ellen had been interrupted. He had expected to make significant progress breaking Ellen’s will that night. Oh, well, he thought, while a good slave would have provided him much entertainment, some of the family didn’t really understand the nature of dominance and submission. Protecting the family was much more important than anyone play toy, even one with as much potential as Ellen. Ellen looked fearfully at Jake, aware of...
Thursday, August 12, 2010 “The MRI was inconclusive,” Dr. Worden said. “We’d like to schedule the electrophysical study next.” “No,” Ellen said. “No more tests. Please arrange for Jake to be discharged.” “But, Mrs. Fielding, we need to learn what happened to Jake yesterday. If it happens again, it could kill him.” “If you’ll give us a referral to a cardiologist, we’ll follow up.” “Any other cardiologist would just have Jake admitted to a hospital for this same test.” “Perhaps. But we’ll...
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 Jake dropped two handfuls of Wal-Mart bags on the kitchen counter at the farmhouse. The light of sunrise was shining in through the window. He went back into the car, brought back a McDonald’s bag, and handed it to his father who had been sitting at the kitchen table, watching him without saying a word. He glanced into it. “I’m sure they’ll enjoy a hot meal.” Jake selected one of the Wal-Mart bags and handed it to Harris. Harris pulled out a drip coffee maker, a...
Monday, August 2, 2010 Kate’s eyes widened. “Really? What?” “There’s some good news and some bad news. Let’s go someplace where we can get some privacy.” Jan took Kate’s hand and lead her out of the kitchen. “Boris, would you come and deliver the news?” “Yes, ma’am,” he said and followed. Jan, Kate and Boris sat at one end of the dining room table. Jake, who had been out of the loop when it came to Kate’s treatment for two weeks, decided he needed to get a feel for how things had...
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 Jake tossed on the bed again, awakened from a shallow sleep by yet another siren. “C’mon, Jake. Go to sleep,” Shannon mumbled. Jake rolled out of bed. It was three a.m. and he was exhausted. But with the strange bed and the strange place, his sleep was fitful. He got himself a drink of water and stared out the window into the night. There was still a lot of activity down at the ground level. Traffic noise seeped in through the window. He had to get some sleep. He...
Sunday, August 8, 2010 Jake sat with his arm around his grandmother. Granddad was well into his sermon and was getting charged up. Jake normally enjoyed listening to his grandfather preach, but he had other things to think about that morning. Although he wanted to focus on his own problem, Jake had not seen Gramma that often lately. He glanced into her mind to see how she was doing. Gramma was paying more attention to the sermon than Jake was. He wondered how she did that. She must have...
Wednesday, August 4, 2010. Darrell pushed his chair back and stood. “Uh oh,” Alice said nervously. “Is this going to turn into a scene?” Darrell stomped across the lounge toward them. “Only if we let it,” Jake said. Jake made Darrell scared of him and Alice. “That’s strange,” Alice said when Darrell suddenly went back to his table, sat down, and stared down into his beer mug, his hands trembling. “Did you do something to him?” “Yeah, I did. He’s a little unstable. I didn’t want to have...
Sunday, August 15, 2010 “We’re going to be here for a long time tonight,” Jake said. “We’ll be planning and training. I’ve removed Carol and Julie’s rings for tonight. We may very well need help from both of you before this is done.” Julie looked pleased. Carol looked ... She looked happy and unusually calm. There was a story there, Jake thought, but he had a meeting to lead. “I plan to overthrow the Council this week. I’ve been sketching out an operation with two phases. In the second...
Thursday, August 5, 2010 Jake walked slowly over to Lizzie who was seated halfway down the dinner table. He pulled her chair back, turned it away from the table, and knelt between her legs. She looked at him with a confident smirk. “Lizzie, I want you to know how happy I am that you moved here and joined us, joined me,” Jake said to her softly. He took Lizzie’s right hand in his, giving Lizzie a rush of pleasure to her clitoris at the moment his hand touched hers. Then he moderated it to a...
Tuesday, August 10, 2010 “So what do you have to say about the numbers?” Alice asked, looking up from her salad. Jake finished chewing a bite of steak. He was eating with Alice in the conference room at Diana’s. Financial reports for July were lying around the table. He and Alice had been reviewing them when their lunch had arrived. “It’s about what I expected. I was disappointed that June and July numbers were down until I realized that the year-on-year numbers were up modestly. That...
Thursday, August 5, 2010 Jake knocked on the door to the Motel 6 at 8:30 on the dot. Emily opened the door a crack to see who it was. He had read as he approached the room that they were awake though not yet dressed to face the day. “Jake!” Emily squealed. She threw open the door and launched herself at him. She jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around him. “Emily, you’re not dressed,” Lizzie snapped. Jake had to admit that there were a whole lot of Emily’s legs showing. She slid...
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Jake and Alice found most of the women sitting at the kitchen table when they got home. “Ellen’s out?” Jake asked. “Another date with Boris,” Leanne said with a smile. “Probably another night of torture,” Kara said. “What do you mean?” Jake asked. “When Boris dropped her off last night, she was so horny I could feel it,” Nina said. “Fortunately she had help dealing with it.” “Did she?” Jake asked. Leanne blushed. Jake turned to her with one eyebrow...
Saturday, August 7, 2010 “Your ability to hear thoughts should have started to emerge by now,” Jake said to the assembled class of new mind readers. “Is there anyone here who is not catching at least some thoughts from other people?” “I’m not sure that I am,” Nina said. “Then let’s test you under optimum conditions. I’ll think of a number, keeping my mind clear otherwise. If you can’t pick this up, then you aren’t yet ready for today’s lesson. Here’s the first one.” Jake pictured a die...
Thursday, August 19, 2010 “I was surprised at the findings by Ellen’s neurological examination this morning, so I ordered another MRI,” Dr. Mitchell said. “I just came back from looking it over with the radiologist.” He paused for a minute. He had come into the room while they were readying Ellen to go to the airport. “And?” Gramma said when she could not contain herself any longer. Dr. Mitchell shook his head. “I was surprised by the reduction in her aphasia and the improvement in her...
Sunday, August 8, 2010 It was just after midnight when Jake got home. He could feel Ellen’s arousal as he drove up. It must have been a good date with Brian. He found her in the kitchen with Leanne and Kara. As soon as Jake sat at the table, Ellen got out of her chair and knelt next to Jake. She looked up at him beseechingly. He reached over and pinched her nipple. She threw her head back and breathed in sharply. “I’d like to hear about everyone’s evening,” Jake said, “but it seems my sub...
Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Only the calmness that Shannon had given him kept Jake from screaming out in horror. Jake turned on Greenlee. “What happened to her mind?” Jake watched as Greenlee recollected losing his temper when he couldn’t bring Ellen to consciousness for questioning. He had focused all his energy on her brain, dragging tracks across the surface, destroying swaths of brain cells. Jake activated Greenlee’s testicle pain circuit. Greenlee screamed. Jake gloried in his agony....
Monday, August 9, 2010 “It’s day seven for the second wave,” Jake said. “Your capacity to read emotions, thoughts, and desires has manifested fully. Even Julie and Carol are nearly there. Now that you have developed the raw capability, you are ready to learn how to use it. We’ve already gone over the basics, so let’s work on something more advanced.” Jake took a drink of his Coke and set it back down on the kitchen table. “When you get a chance, I encourage you all to go out into public....
Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Jake didn’t notice the phone falling to the bed. He fought a wave of panic, followed by a wave of nausea. He looked over at Shannon who was watching with concern. “Shannon, please, make me calm.” He knew he sounded pathetic but couldn’t bring himself to care. Instantly, he was back in control, his mind sharp, determined to do what was needed. He put the phone back to his ear. “We’ll get through this, Alice. Tell me what happened.” “We almost had him, Jake. We...
Thursday, August 5, 2010 Jake drove toward home, feeling unnerved at how his circumstances had changed so quickly. His phone rang. It was Alice. He was comforted by the sound of her voice. “I had the most fun this afternoon,” she said. “Oh? What did you do?” “I took a couple hours off and went shopping with Mona. We got her some casual stuff for school and then we went to Neiman Marcus and spent a fortune.” “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.” “You’re not going to believe the body that girl...
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 The wail of a siren rose and fell in pitch, but its volume did not get softer like one would hear if a fire truck were driving past. His chest hurt. It burned. It also felt like he had been punched repeatedly. The air he breathed was cold, dry and metallic. He was being rocked back and forth. He forced his eyes open. There was a man in a blue uniform shirt sitting over him. Kara was sitting next to the man, staring down at Jake. They were swaying with the same...
Saturday, August 7, 2010 “You seem upset,” Jake said to Lizzie as he sat at the kitchen table and grabbed a sandwich for himself. “I’m not sure how I feel. I’m grateful, but I wish she hadn’t done it.” “Who is she and what did she do?” “Leanne bought us a bunch of furniture,” Emily said. Jake looked over at Leanne who was ignoring them and calmly eating her sandwich. “Oh? Tell me the story.” Jake said turning back to Lizzie. “Leanne took us to some furniture stores this morning,” she...
Saturday, August 21, 2010 “So you’ve decided to spare the Coxes’ lives?” Jake shrieked like a little girl. The last thing he had expected was to hear someone’s voice. He lurched around to find Kara standing above him. “Crap! You scared me,” he said and let himself collapse against the side of the hole, making himself even filthier than he already was. “Jake, you are not going to kill yourself and leave my baby an orphan,” Kara said, handing him down a bottle of Gatorade. He opened it and...
Sunday, August 8, 2010 Jake shuddered and then lay still, smiling. Jan slumped down onto him, laying her head on his chest, breathing heavily. Jake had always felt privileged when he was with her. It was not just because their relationship had started with her being an unobtainable object of desire, or because of their easy camaraderie, or because of the respect and admiration he felt for her. It was also because she made him feel wonderful when they were together. She loved him ardently,...
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 The receptionist for Gaylord Bishop, attorney-at-law, asked Jake’s party to take a seat in the waiting room. Jake sat next to Jan, gave her hand a squeeze, and sent her a surge of affection. She squeezed his hand back. After finishing with Shannon’s treatment, Jan and Jake had focused on each other, enjoying their first chance at physical intimacy since he and Ellen had gone to France. Jan had taken control of Jake’s arousal, letting him approach climax but not...
Monday, August 9, 2010 Jake went to the window and closed the drapes. It was getting dark outside, and with the curtains drawn, it was too dark to see. Alice, would you give us just a little light? Alice turned on the bathroom light and closed the door most of the way so that there was just enough light to see. She sat down in a chair against the wall. Alice was in shadow, but Jake saw her hitch her dress up and put her hand between her legs. You’re not just a spectator, Jake sent her....
Monday, August 2, 2010 Jake kissed Alice chastely at the front door. “I’m glad you’re joining us,” he said. “It’s the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me. Well, not the treatment. That was boring.” “Sorry, they can be that way. But try to get another treatment every day. Also, the sooner you move in the better. Kara manages the household. She can help. For instance, she can hire movers to bring your stuff here. The more time you spend with the rest of us the better.” Alice...

Roger looked around the room, everyone was quiet as they waited for him start the latest story. With the help of Doris of course. Naturally they were also awaiting the return of Derek and Larissa. Roger didn't know how many, if any of them, knew of the reason for their sudden disappearance or if they were just as ignorant as he and Doris were. Everyone had showered and changed into casual clothes. Roger and his two son-in-laws Christopher and Allan were dressed in slacks and polo shirts...

For those who want a fast answer, there is an section titled “In Summary” near the end. But that skips Nadia’s anal train and the rest of...
On the seventh day, Marshal Sean arrived to inform them that they were all due in court the next day for the hearing on the girls’ old Master. Jacob, Jason and both girls were required to be there. That night Jason required considerable time to calm the girls down as they still feared their old Master. The next day in court the charges were read aloud by the Royal Judge. “Master Daren, you are accused of punishing by whipping two underage slave girls without a hearing on at least four...
Fifteen year old Jason was returning early from his fathers shop in the dusk of a cold December day, when he spotted the two children crouched in the entryway to his fathers home. “What are you children doing here?” he inquired, as he approached. “Master, may we go inside for a few minutes?” the closest begged him from the darkened entryway. “Why are you not at home? It is past time for children to be indoors in this weather,” Jason told them. “We no longer have a home, Master,” the...
July 29, 1995 Down on one knee to get the angle on the green, I squinted in the bright high desert sunlight. I lined up the eight-foot putt. Satisfied that I had the break figured out, I got up and crouched over the ball, took a couple of practice swings, and then struck the ball firmly with my putter. The ball rolled slightly uphill, and then broke sharply to the right ... straight into the cup. I let out a yell, and thrust my fist skyward. "Another birdie for Mr. Too Hot to Touch,"...
Hope you enjoy, Myra Foil. Myra's RL rapedate Dec 4 2010 Whole day I was feeling very horny. It's saturday Dec 4 and I had to do some RL groceries.

Fun Times with Friends on Saturday, April 3, 2010 Chapter One I’ve been thinking about it ever since he called. “Hi babe. How are you doing?” he said in that low sexy voice of his. I checked the caller ID for his name and then I knew for sure that it was him. “Oh, Eric, hello lover, I’ve missed you very much,” I said in return, wishing that I would’ve thought of something more clever or enticing to say. Eric continued, “Hey, I’m going to be in town this weekend and I was wondering if you’d...

The Teahouse Of The August Moon The Teahouse Of The August Moon was a very nice movie made back in 1956 staring Glen Ford, Marlon Brando, Eddie Albert, and Paul Ford. It took place after WWII on Okinawa. That was all that I could think about as I had my building constructed. My ‘Teahouse Of The August Moon.’ I had it all thought out and designed. I had an Oriental designer help me decorate and furnish it. It was going to be a romantic restaurant for couples only. By couples I meant...
In the main parlor, Jacob had had his apprentices rebuild the fire in the fireplace to take the chill out of the air. The entire household was up as the noise had awakened all of them. The parlor was warming up nicely when the Marshal and the others arrived. “You girls sit over by the fire,” Sean directed as they came in. Jacob was standing near the fireplace. He was very surprised to see the girls dressed in towels. Daren and his henchman sat on a sofa. His lip curled when he saw the girls,...
8:15AM At the Stinson household, Peggy gathered up her schoolbooks and ran for the door, remembering at the last second to call out a pleasant goodbye to her Mother, Ann and to her brother Davy who was going to be home with an upset stomach. Two blocks later just before reaching Kathy's, with whom she'd garner a ride, she remembered her English assignment which was due that morning was still on the dresser in her bedroom. She waved to Kathy who was waiting by her car, signaling her to...
"So are you gonna tell us all about the sexy stuff poppy?" asked Marianne who was now sitting up with her legs crossed at her ankles and her little five —year-old pussy in plain sight. "Of course sweetie pie, you don't think I'd keep you waiting do you?" "Oh goody. Thanks poppy," she said with a giggle as she absently fingered herself. Roger took Doris's hand as he turned to each of his family in turn. "You know we could have given this night a title, except that Doris here's...
August 5 Dear Diary, Wow is college gonna be fun, my new room mate, Sally is such a dear, and let's be honest about this, she has a wonderful mouth!!! The thing I think I like best is the communal shower area, where it looks like you can get either as much cock or pussy as you need!!! When I told mom about the shower, she got kinda envious and wished she was gonna be able to suck all that fine young cock!!! I don't think I'd better tell Isaac about that part though, he's not exactly the jealous...
EroticTuesday, June 1, 2010 The apartment was empty. Jake called Jan’s house and told his mother that his plan had fallen apart and that he was back home. He took off his suit coat and tie and sat down in the living room with his book bag. He had already finished the paper for Jan’s class. He had two final exams the next day. It would not hurt to put in some extra time studying. Jake remembered that he had not told Finch to sign the affidavit at the lawyer’s office, so he called him. “This is...
Tuesday, June 8, 2010 “It’s crazy, that’s what it is. I’m beginning to worry about her mental health. And you just went along with her.” Jake looked down at his orange juice. He was alone with Leanne. All of her children were still asleep. He felt like going back to sleep himself. “Leanne, I’ll admit that I didn’t challenge her premise. No, that’s not entirely true. I made sure that it wasn’t just lust talking or some other motivation like that. And I’m pretty sure that it’s not a mental...
Thursday, June 17, 2010 Dinner turned into a big affair with Boris and the Harrison women joining the eight people currently living in the DeRizzo house. They barely managed to crowd around the table. The main topic of conversation was the pending move to the house on the lake. Plans had been made to take Julie and Brian over to look at the house the next day and choose their bedrooms. The master bedroom was to be Jake’s where he could be with his women, but the women would each have their...
Thursday, June 3, 2010 Instead of going to school, Jake rode his bike over to the DeRizzo house. Despite the seriousness of his errand, he felt buoyant. His mother had been in high spirits that morning. She had also been very affectionate. She had kissed him soundly when she woke him up and hummed as she prepared for work. She had come up behind him while he was making toast, given him a hug from behind, and told him that she loved him. He forced himself to look serious and knocked on the...
Saturday, June 19, 2010 “What are you guys hiding from me?” Julie asked. Jake read Julie and saw that they had a problem. He decided to keep quiet and watch it play out. Maybe he could figure out what to do. “What do you mean?” Kara asked. “Not you. Jake and Mom and Ellen,” Julie said “Huh? Hiding something?” Leanne said, her confusion apparent in her voice. “Right. Jake has been linked to you and Ellen all night. Why were you shutting Kara and me out?” “Julie, darling, Jake hasn’t...
