Julie and Jake followed Leanne into the kitchen where she started preparing dinner. It was a casserole and Jake volunteered to chop vegetables.
“How are you going to tell Kara and Brian about the divorce?”
“I’ll take them aside and explain what’s happening. I’m pretty sure they’re not going to be traumatized by the prospect of their parent’s break-up. Look how well Julie’s handling it.”
“It’s the best news in years. It’s like how I used to feel on the last day of school when I was little. All the drudgery was over, and I was looking forward to three months of freedom. Now I’m free from being scared of what Dad will do next.”
“Why are you free of Dad?”
Julie and Leanne looked up surprised. Kara was standing in the doorway.
Leanne looked over at Jake, but he kept his attention focused on his chopping.
“Sit, girl. There’s news.”
Kara sat at the table next to Julie.
“Tell me.”
“I’ve decided to divorce your father.”
“Does he know?”
“Yes.”
“He’s going to come home and hammer on all of us.”
“No, dear. He’s already moved out and he won’t be back. Not ever.”
“So we really are free?”
“Yes, dear.”
“Can I go to Columbia now?”
“If you can work out the details.”
“But how will you support yourself? And Brian and Julie?”
“That’s taken care of.”
“Where will we be living?”
Leanne froze.
He will give you the house free and clear.
“We’ll live here in our home.”
Kara sat down and stared off into space. Her mind was in turmoil. Jake relayed her thoughts and emotions to Leanne who started and then looked down at her feet.
There was relief as well as anger and regret for what she had had to give up because of her father. Kara’s eyes filled with tears but she just sat there. Jake saw that this was a discipline that she used with her father to keep her feelings out of sight. She sat there poised on the edge of grief, but something kept her from giving in to it. Leanne looked over at Jake with uncertainty.
She needs to know that she won’t be punished for giving vent to what she feels. Curse him.
Leanne looked at him, confused.
Curse your husband to Kara. Get into her face and tell her what you think of Gus.
Leanne knelt and looked into her eyes.
“He was a son of a bitch,” Leanne said. “I’ll never allow him back in this house.”
Still Kara sat with tears leaking down her face. Jake bumped her regret up a notch and that tipped her over the edge.
“Oh, Mama, I hate him,” she said and began to sob. “He chased off every boy I ever liked. He chased off Kenny. I loved Kenny, Momma, and he’s gone. He’s got a new girlfriend now.”
Leanne reached for her and held her as her sobs grew. Despair rose up within her. Jake turned back to the counter and started cutting up celery. Her cries became shrieks. Leanne held her through the great racking sobs.
It took ten minutes for her grief to run its course. She refused to lay down. Leanne finally gave her a cup of tea and Kara sat quietly at the table. Leanne looked over at Jake. By that time Jake had large mounds of celery, carrots, onion, lettuce, and zucchini.
Stop, Jake. I’m not feeding every family on the street.
Jake smiled guiltily. Sorry.
He sat at the table next to Julie.
The front door banged open and then slammed shut. Brian stomped into the kitchen a moment later.
“What’s with the huge piles of food?”
No one responded and he looked around, finally catching the mood. He noticed Jake and glared at him. Kara sighed.
“Ok, what’s wrong?” he asked.
“Sit, Brian,” Leanne said.
“Just tell me what’s going on.”
“I’ve decided to divorce your father. He’s moved out and won’t be coming back.”
Brian’s eyes grew big.
“You’re serious?”
“Yes, Brian, it is done and there’s no undoing it.”
“Yahoooooo!” Brian screamed out.
He grabbed his mother around the waist and twirled her in the air. He pulled Julie up and hugged her. Even Kara got a big hug despite her reluctance.
Jake noticed that Julie had unusually strong feelings of affection for Brian so he began to reinforce them.
“When did you decide? What made you do it?” He looked over at Jake. “And what’s he doing here.”
Jake folded his hands together and put them in front of his face to hide his smile. Brian was relieved that he did not have to protect Julie from her father anymore. But that did not mean that he was going to overlook other dangers, and in his eyes, Jake was clearly a danger to his sister.
“Brian, behave civilly,” Leanne said. “Jake is Julie’s friend. I asked him to have dinner with us.”
Your brother doesn’t trust me, Jake sent to Julie. He’s worried that I will take advantage of you.
He’s sweet. I just might sic him on you if you don’t treat me right.If you put that yellow dress back on, I bet he’ll go all big brother on you.
I was planning on wearing it tonight. I’ve got fantasies about wearing it at the mall now.
I’ve got those same fantasies. In fact, I’ve got one about you wearing it here in the kitchen and sitting on my lap. Brian’s sitting next to us, but you’re facing away from him. I use my fingers to check what you’re wearing underneath it.
I never said that I was going to wear anything underneath it.
Oh, God, don’t do that to me. Then Jake smiled at her. I put my hand under the dress and find your naked bottom. I begin to rub my finger in the crack of your ass. As soon as I get to your anus you start to make that whining sound I love so much. Brian’s getting mad. He can’t see what’s happening, but he is sure that I’m touching you too familiarly for his taste. He can’t decide whether to stomp out of the room or to punch me in the face. I begin to push my finger into your anus and your hips start to twitch back and...
“Julie, are you ok?” Brian asked. “You look flushed.”
Julie sighed.
“I feel fine. It’s just hot in here. I think I’ll change into something a little cooler.”
She smiled at Jake and flounced out of the room.
Leanne watched Julie depart and frowned over at Jake.
“Is there anything else I can do to help, Mrs. DeRizzo,” Jake said with a wide smile.
“You haven’t done enough damage yet?” She nodded toward piles of vegetables.
“Maybe I can make amends.”
“Why don’t you set the kitchen table? We’ll eat in here today.”
The silverware is in the left-hand drawer here by me. The problem with a mind-reading boyfriend is that I can’t listen in on your conversations with my daughter. And I suspect that the things you were saying were designed to corrupt.
Jake began laying out silverware.
I admit that I’ve learned a few of Julie’s buttons over the last couple of weeks. But I deny that I was corrupting her. We were having an honest, above-board erotic conversation. She can be a big flirt.
The dishes and glasses are in these two cabinets here. She pointed to the cabinets. You’ve got Brian’s attention. What’s going to happen when he notices you two sniffing around one another?
Jake looked over at Leanne.
Which set of plates do you want to use?
Use the white plates and the glass salad bowls.
Jake nodded and reached for the stack of white plates.
He’s already suspicious because it’s his nature to worry about Julie, Jake sent. It’s only a matter of time until he learns the truth. In this case, I’d say that honesty is the best policy. He can’t stay mad forever.
He has his dad’s temper. He could make things uncomfortable for you and Julie. I wouldn’t put it past him to decide that as the new man of the house, it is his duty to take you outside and thrash you.I’m not entirely defenseless.
How many other people do you want to know about your abilities?
I can be subtle. Have I mentioned that? I can do subtle.
I wonder how subtle does when it comes up against Brian’s right uppercut. No, not the frosted glass. Use the clear glass ones ... Right.
Jake put the frosted glasses back and pulled out the set that Leanne wanted.
I’d like to get you alone for a while soon, Jake sent. Maybe tomorrow. There are some things we need to, um, talk about.
Jake heard Leanne giggle behind him as he leaned over to put the glasses on the table.
Sure. There’s nothing I’d rather do than, um, talk, too.
Jake smiled at her.
Ok. I want to do more than just talk, but there are some things I should tell you. Like how Julie and Carol are doing. There’s some real news.
What would Julie think of us going off to, um, talk?
Jake laughed.
I think that Julie has begun to understand why our relationship is so important to us. She’s not entirely above getting jealous, but I don’t think she’s feeling threatened. It’s more likely that she would get upset because she wasn’t included.
You don’t think she’ll feel enough jealousy to cause trouble? Napkins are in the last drawer on the right.
Julie knows who the women are who are important to me. And I try hard to make sure that Julie knows what it is about her that makes her so important, too.
Leanne skipped out of the way so Jake could get past her. He pulled open the drawer and saw several different napkin sets that varied by color and style. He looked back at her with his eyebrows raised.
The light blue ones with the tattered fringe. Use the dark blue napkin rings.
He rolled the napkins and put them in the rings. Leanne began to put the food on the table.
That’s the reality of having a relationship with me. Julie knows that. I was honest about that with her from the beginning. No woman who insists that I only be with her will stay around long enough for it to get serious.
He started for the table to put the napkins down.
Heads up. Hot casserole dish. There’s a trivet hanging on the wall just to your right. Would you put it under this dish?
Jake jumped to the side to make room for her to get by him. He reached for the trivet and slid it into place just in time for Leanne to put the hot dish on it. Then Jake noticed the thoughts around him.
Uh oh, he sent.
Uh oh, what?
Kara and Brian were staring at them wide-eyed. Julie was looking on from the doorway with a wide smile.
We’re busted.
“How did you do that?” Kara asked.
“Do what?” Leanne said.
“It was like you were dancing,” Kara said. “Moving around each other like that. Communicating with glances.”
“It’s like that boy has lived here for years,” Brian said. “He knew where to find everything without asking.”
Julie laughed. “I think that we were seeing a textbook example of a shared psychosis. I think they both inhabit another reality.”
“Jake, I think we make a pretty good team,” Leanne said.
There you go. Brazen it out. Admit to nothing.
“Why don’t you have a seat, Jake. What will you be drinking?”
“Milk, please. Brian, I think maybe your mother projects her thoughts or something. It’s like I just know what to do when I’m around her.”
“Now you’re just being silly,” Leanne said. “Sit everybody and eat.”
“Oh, my fucking God!” Brian said.
“Brian!” Leanne snapped.
Brian had just noticed Julie in the yellow sundress.
I’d say this is an auspicious change of topic, Leanne sent.
“She looks spectacular, doesn’t she?” Jake said, knowing that Brian’s reaction was more in the line of shock.
“You’re just a little girl!” Brian said. “Or you were a little girl. When did that happen?”
“When did what happen, Brian?” Julie asked sweetly.
“When did you grow all those woman parts?”
“I think you look very pretty,” Kara said. “Brian’s right. You’re really growing up.”
“Where did you get that dress?” Leanne asked.
“It was a present,” Julie said brightly. “From Jake.”
Leanne raised her eyebrows at him. Brian frowned.
“I was at the mall with my mom and saw the dress. It made me think of Julie, so I asked my mom for advice. She thought it would be nice and she suggested a size. Carol helped me wrap it.”
“You mean Carol wrapped it for you,” Julie said.
“Ok, I admit it. But it’s the only way the package would have looked nice. Manual dexterity is not my thing.”
“Don’t you think that’s a pretty racy dress?” Brian asked. “It seems disrespectful to me.”
“Dry up, Brian,” Kara said. “It suits her figure like it was designed for her. If you want to buy me any dresses, Jake, that’s just fine with me.”
“But she can’t go out like that,” Brian said.
“I don’t see why not,” Julie said. “What’s it to you anyway, Brian?”
“In that dress? You’ll need someone to defend your honor.”
“I take my duty to defend her honor and her safety very seriously,” Jake said.
“You’re the chief person she needs to be defended from.”
“Brian, I’m afraid there is a fundamental misunderstanding here. I am the one who needs to be protected from her.”
Brian frowned again. “I don’t know what you’re saying.”
“Brian, do you really want to go there?” Leanne asked.
“You’re on her side?”
“I know a lot more about what’s going on in her life than you do. I don’t doubt that your heart is in the right place, and I like that you want to protect your sister. But you’d have to be a lot more involved in Julie’s life to know whom and what to protect her from. When she needs to be protected from Jake, you’ll be the very first person I come to.”
“But why else would he give her a dress like that?”
“Do you mean why else besides that he has designs on her?”
“Exactly.”
“Jake, do you have designs on my daughter?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“See, he admits it,” Brian said.
“Jake, by that do you mean that you wish to undertake physical intimacies with her?” Leanne asked.
“Yes. Very much.”
“Would you refrain from these physical intimacies if they would bring harm to her?”
“On my honor.”
She turned to Brian.
“Does that satisfy you, son?”
“Not for one bloody second.”
“Do you doubt Jake’s honesty?”
“Well, no.”
“Do you think he intends to hurt her?”
“How would I know?”
“He just said that he didn’t and you’ve admitted that he’s honest.”
“Ok, maybe he doesn’t intend to hurt her, but he sure sounds like he intends to take advantage of her.”
“Brian, have you ever had sex with a girl?”
“Mom!”
“Brian!” Leanne said and brought her hand down smartly on the table. “I will not tolerate the hypocrisy of you prying into your sister’s personal life and yet refusing to discuss your own. Are you a virgin? Tell me the truth.”
“No, Mom.”
“Have you had sex with a girl? A female person not yet of adult years?”
“Yes.”
“Did you harm her in the process?”
“No! I wouldn’t do that.”
“Then tell me how you are in any way different than Jake, aside from the fact that he is honorable enough to be upfront about his intentions?”
“But she is only thirteen.”
“She is almost fourteen, not that that’s the point. Through most of human history, a girl of her age would be sought after as a wife. In this period of history, thirteen-year-olds have sex all the time without apparent harm. Do you know enough about your sister and her circumstances to know if she would come to harm were she to have sex?”
“No, I guess not.”
“It turns out that I do. I’m very involved with my daughter, and I am thoroughly aware of her circumstances. And hear this clearly, son. I know Jake well. I trust him. I hope that you will take the time to get to know him.”
Wow. I think I’m in love, Jake sent to Leanne.
Shut up, Jake.
“Well, that’s the liveliest conversation I’ve ever heard at the dinner table,” Kara said.
“It’s nice to be able to talk without worrying about being slapped down,” Julie said.
“Speak for yourself,” Brian said.
“Brian, you were bested in an honest argument,” Leanne said. “And I welcome the next round after you’ve considered what I’ve had to say and composed your counter-argument. Your viewpoint hasn’t been suppressed. You haven’t been threatened. This was the kind of vigorous discussion we had at my parent’s table all the time when I was growing up. I didn’t realize how much I miss it.”
“It makes me sad that just when we finally start to act like a family, I’m going to leave and go to school,” Kara said.
“You’ve still got almost three months before you go. I hope you’ll take advantage of the time you have left.”
“Oh, I will. Meanwhile, I have a question for Jake.”
“Oh? What can I tell you?” Jake asked.
“How long have you been sleeping with my sister?”
Jake looked at Julie but he projected his thoughts to both her and Leanne.
Do you two think Brian is ready for the truth?
I’d say the battlefield has been as well prepared as possible, Leanne sent back.
Julie nodded.
Jake turned to Kara.
“We first made love two days ago.”
“Shit,” Brian muttered.
Kara is a virgin, Jake sent to Leanne and Julie. Though I would guess that she hopes for enough freedom to have sex very soon. She’s not particular about who with at the moment.
“Kara, you should try Jake,” Julie said. “He made my first times very satisfying.”
“Julie, I’m not sure that it’s a good idea to talk about sharing your boyfriend inside the family.”
Hypocrite.
Guilty as charged, but I’m still worried that it might not be a good thing for Kara. This is going too quickly. It needs more thought.
You think too long, Julie sent her, and she’s going to screw the first halfway good-looking scumbag she meets on the street.
God help us, you may be right. But I don’t know how or even if I should intervene.
Talk to her, Leanne, Jake sent. Tell her about your concerns. I think that she’ll speak frankly with you.
But if she’s got her heart set on having a man, what am I going to say to her?
If she’s determined, what else can you do but help her find the right guy?
That’s where Jake comes in, Julie said.
She’s as lovely as you and Julie, Leanne. As I get to know her, I’m starting to think that she’s got as much character and charm as you as well. I’d reluctantly consider being her first, but only if it were necessary. I’m not the only sensitive guy out there. Maybe she already knows one.
Reluctantly, my ass, Julie sent. Besides, you’re the only mind reader out there. She would never find someone to make her first time as good.
“Kara, you and I need to have a talk after dinner,” Leanne said. “It’s time for a little mother-daughter time.”
“Leanne, if you don’t mind, Julie and I planned to go to the mall to shop a bit and then see a movie. Is that ok?”
“Do you need a ride?”
“If anyone is going that way, that would be nice. We could take a cab, too.”
“I’ll take you. Kara can come with us and she and I can stop off for some ice cream and conversation.”
“Leanne, I almost got you a dress like the one I got Julie,” Jake said from the backseat on the drive over to the mall.
“You can’t be serious. That’s way too young for me. I wouldn’t wear something like that.”
“But you’re even taller than Julie. It would show off your legs. Is there some other style that you would prefer?”
Several different styles flashed through Leanne’s head. All of them Jake thought too staid.
Surely there is something sexier than that that you would wear. Something that hugs your form. You’re more than the sum of your parts. I love the way the whole package comes together. The way your hips set off your waist. The way your breasts are just big enough to be utterly feminine.Jake, don’t. You can’t talk to me like that and then go off and play with my daughter. Now I’m going to be pining for you all night. Besides, all this talk about utter femininity is just another way of saying I have small tits.
I think it’s another way of saying small tits can be so sexy that you look elegant while other women look gaudy, even bovine. I don’t think I could design a woman more desirable than you.
Stop right now, Jake Fielding. Not another word. When am I going to see you tomorrow?
Come to my place at ten. We’ll slip away and go somewhere that we can be alone. Can you get away?
Ten o’clock it is. And stop teasing me or I’m going to pull over and take you in the back seat in front of both of my daughters.
Kara was looking at her mother expectantly.
“So what kind of dress would look better, Mom?”
“Don’t disturb her,” Julie said. “She’s communing.”
Jake chuckled.
You keep on giving hints like that and she’ll figure out about me within three days.
You keep doing kissy face with my mom and Kara will figure out that you’re fucking Mom before we even get to the mall.
“Why are you so spacey today, Mom?”
“Yeah, Mom. Every time Jake comes over, you get like that.”
“Julie!”
I hope you know what you’re doing. If she’s as smart as you and your mom, it’s inevitable now ... Oh, shit. Look what you’ve done.
Kara was staring intently back at Jake. He watched her suspicions grow. She was nobody’s fool. If anything, she was more perceptive than Julie and Leanne. Kara glanced over at her mother and then looked back at Jake, her face growing cold.
“Shit, shit, shit!” Jake said. “You might as well just tell her now. The truth won’t do any more harm than the conclusions she’s drawing.”
“Julie, that was very foolish,” Leanne said. “If it had to be done, it could have been done a lot better than that.”
Leanne pulled the car into a parking place at the mall.
“What conclusions do you think I’m drawing?” Kara demanded. “And what aren’t you telling me?”
“I’ll tell her while you two are shopping. Forget about seeing a movie. Kara and I will go to the coffee shop by the main entrance. You two come back in one hour and we’ll all talk.”
Leanne, she’s got to keep my secret, or I’ll have to make it so that she can’t talk about it.
Would it hurt her if you did that?
No. But she’s too smart. She’ll know that I did something to her, and she won’t like it.
Leanne and Kara turned into the coffee shop, and Jake and Julie walked into the mall.
“That’s a pretty big gamble you just made for Leanne, me, you and Kara,” Jake said.
“I guess I wasn’t as sly as I thought I was. I’m sorry if it causes trouble.”
“Me, too. Meanwhile, I’d like to find something for Carol. She’s been a very good sport these last few days.”
“She’s been your slave.”
“She does seem to be very devoted.”
“Jake, when people fall in love, they often fall out of love later on. Can Carol do that or will she always feel this way about you?”
“I don’t know for sure, but I suspect the effect is long-lasting. And there is one other problem that occurs to me. Carol doesn’t form emotional attachments with other people. So that means that she will never be drawn to another man, well, except for sex. As long as I am the only guy she is fond of, she is my responsibility.”
“But the whole idea was to heal her so that she could have normal relationships with guys.”
“If it works out that way in the end, then that will be great. It might even happen that she finds a guy she really likes and asks me to tone down her affection for me. But that’s just speculation. If it doesn’t happen, she will always be focused on me, and she won’t let me change it.”
“I hope you enjoy your slave.”
“Were you and her ok after I left today?”
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...

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 “Dinner was a little weird last night,” Jan said. “Did you serve aardvark?” Jake asked as he drove west down the farm-to-market road. The sun had just risen directly behind him, throwing long shadows before the car. “No, the menu was normal. It was a diner who was strange.” “You served dinner to an aardvark?” “No, smart ass. The strange diner was Christine.” “Strange how?” “She was distracted. Even Mark noticed something was off.” “Did you ask her about it?” “I...
Sunday, June 6, 2010 Carol came over at nine, getting Jake out of Ellen’s bed. He took her back to his own bed where Carol rode him hard for about fifteen minutes. “Tomorrow it will have been a week since I got the birth control shot. We can start doing it bareback.” “Just what I need. It’s hard enough not to come. What if I can’t control myself?” “We’ll work it out. I want to feel you inside me, and I want to feel you come in me.” Jake, Ellen and Carol sat with Gramma at the service....
Tuesday, May 25, 2010 Jake sat down across from Jason at one of the more remote tables in the lunchroom. Jake pulled out a plastic container with leftover spaghetti. “How’s the ex-con?” It had taken Jake a year and a half to free Gil. He had been stymied until he learned that the governor has the power to pardon a convicted criminal. It had taken Jake three months to get close to the governor. The opportunity finally came when the governor had given a reelection speech at the senior...
Thursday, June 24, 2010 After a couple experiments while waiting for the hearing to start, Jake decided his father was right about filtering out mind noise. His experience was much like Ellen had described the night before. Jake damped out everybody at one point except for Donna Glenn. She was nearly 25 feet away from him, and mind noise should have made it impossible for him to read her. Instead he knew that she was bored, impatient and was wondering if Mr. 23b7d5i was sitting in the...

LesbianSunday, August 22, 2010 The sound of the door opening woke Jake. When he opened his eyes he was confused for a second. Oh, yes, he was in Lizzie’s bed. He smiled at his recollections. He was lying on his back. Lizzie was pressed against him, her head on his shoulder, her breasts pushed into his side, a leg thrown over one of his. He felt her pubic hair against his thigh. It was all very nice. The squeak of hinges made Jake looked around. Emily was staring at him from the doorway, a broad...
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...
Saturday, July 3, 2010 The slice stopped only when the heel of the knife snagged on Jake’s shirt. Mrs. Cox wrenched it free and raised it to stab Jake in the back. Boris leaped over the top of the table, bringing his arm down on Mrs. Cox’s. The sound of her ulna and radius snapping resounded through the room. Jake managed to paralyze her just as he heard the bones break. She fell to the floor, her arm bent oddly a third of the way up from the wrist. Tommy shrieked, fell onto his mother,...
Friday, June 11, 2010 Ellen woke Jake shortly after seven. “Kitten is gone and Havel will be here soon.” “I can sleep in for a while this morning.” “First, tell me why you didn’t sleep with me last night.” “I was restless. I didn’t want to keep you from getting a good night’s sleep.” “Don’t lie to me, Jake. I am your mother and I can tell.” “Damnit, woman. Can’t a man practice a little well-intentioned deceit once in a while?” “Stop joking. I want to know.” “I was thinking about my...
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 “Are you still determined to have your memories restored, Marsha,” Jan asked. “Yes, there’s no question. This is what I want.” “Even though you may find that you can’t live with them?” “I have to know.” “Even though it may make you susceptible to post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and other psychological problems?” “Please, I have to know.” Jake read resignation in Mrs. Schaff. She didn’t like Marsha taking the chance but knew that there was no talking...
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...
Friday, June 18, 2010 Jake found Harris waiting for him when he arrived back at his car. They got in and Jake reached into Harris’s jacket for the digital recorder. “Did you do anything that worked against my plan?” Jake sensed his frustration. “I didn’t tell him about all of my property.” “What part did you leave out?” “I’ve got a yacht in Galveston.” “Anything else?” “No.” “Call him on your cell phone and tell him.” While he did, Jake started to listen to the tape. He...
Friday, June 18, 2010 “Why do you want me to come with you, Jake?” Shannon asked as she got into the backseat of Jake’s car. Jake sat in the passenger seat. Leanne was the driver. “We’re going to see something you will find interesting and educational. Instead of just telling you, I’ll wait until we get there and let you see for yourself. I think you’ll agree that it’s worth the wait. But, for now, I’m going to zone out here until we get to my father’s house. I’m sure that Leanne will be...
Friday, June 25, 2010 Jake pulled out his laptop and checked his email. He found a message from Donna. It had come late the night before. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: re: Family is what counts Hey, 23. It’s late and we’ve finally gotten the morning edition to press. I’ve been working like crazy to confirm the details of your story. Everything else checked out so we went ahead and took a chance that your allegations about the bar examiner are true...
Wednesday, June 16, 2010 Now all I get is drowsiness, Jan sent to Jake. The desire is all gone. Finally, Jake sent. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a girl go as long as Christine. Pent up desire, Jan said. That’s how it is when someone discovers something new. It’s probably a lot like when you discovered masturbation. “We can let her rest for a while,” Jake said to Shannon. He walked over to her and rubbed her back. “You did good. You’ve got her needs figured out, and you worked hard to...
Saturday, June 26, 2010 Jake knocked on the door of the Broadman’s motel room. Emily opened the door and let Jake in. He couldn’t believe the condition of the room. He saw stains on the towels and the bedspread. It smelled bad. He stuck his head in the bathroom and was revolted. “I won’t have this,” he growled. “I won’t let my friends live in conditions like this. I wouldn’t let my enemies live like this.” “Jake, we’re on a budget,” Lizzie said. “We had to stay in an inexpensive place....
Thursday, June 10, 2010 When Havel came by in the morning to pick up Ellen, Jake gave him last-minute instructions and described Harris’s car to him. “With my mother staying away from her gym, the only places where Harris knows to find her are at work and at home. I mostly worry about when she arrives at work and when she leaves. Make sure that he can’t approach you without you seeing him. We figured out how he was keeping my mother from seeing him, and I stopped it. She can help you watch...
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...
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Family is what counts My Dear Donna, Your offer to bear my children is nearly too tempting to resist. But as much as I would like to populate the city with future journalists, I fear we can never meet. It’s probably for the best. I have a medical condition that has disfigured me. My form is no longer recognizably human. Since I admire you as much as I do, it would hurt too much to see the...
Thursday, May 27, 2010 Julie was waiting for Jake at the entrance to the lunchroom. She flashed him a bright smile, and they walked to their usual table. She was wearing a pullover top and a short denim skirt. “How’s the most beautiful girl in middle school?” Jake asked. Julie radiated a curious mixture of pleasure and nervousness. “I’m fine, Jake.” They sat next to each other. Jason and Carol sat across the table, just like the day before. “Will you go out on a date with me?” Jake...
July 1, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “How did the game go?” Kara asked when I walked into the house just before lunch. “They did exactly what Jesse said they were going to do - they went out in style.” “Meaning?” “They won 6-0. Nicole scored a natural hat trick in the first period. She got the last goal as well. Jesse stopped 29 shots, and Mikey blocked at least four. They’re having a team party at Coach’s house this afternoon.” “But you had other plans?” Kara asked with a sly smile. “I was...
Friday, August 13, 2010 “In the Matter of the Marriage of DeRizzo,” the judge called. Leanne and her attorney shuffled up to the bench, followed by Gus and his attorney. Gus didn’t need to be there, Leanne’s attorney had explained. The terms of the divorce were contained in an agreement filed with the divorce decree that he had already signed. When Jake scanned him, he saw that Gus regretted letting Leanne and the children get away. He had been told it wouldn’t do any good, but he had...
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, June 1, 2010 Ellen was out the door and on her way to work at seven-thirty the next morning. Carol knocked on Jake’s door ten minutes later. Jake welcomed her with a warm kiss. Carol turned it into a hot kiss. “Jake, I need it bad,” she said when they finally broke apart. “We aims to serve. Take off your clothes and hop on my bed.” By the time they got to his bedroom, she was naked. She jumped on the bed and spread her legs wide. Jake opted to give her the maximum stimulation in...
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 Jan parked Jake’s Cadillac on the street, half a block from the offices of Steven Cockrell, Builder. When Jake remained still, she nudged his arm. “We’re here already?” he asked. “You should drive race cars.” “Hush. I drove the speed limit. I have to say that that’s an impressive display of focus.” “It’s a lot of detail work. The problem is that too many of the neurons in the bundles are failing to forward signals. They probably haven’t developed a sufficient...
I was awakened at 5:00 by Kristy; she told me that we could go outside now. I had her open the doors and I went up for a shower, a long one felt good. I then got dressed and went for a run. I was half way through my first lap when I realized Buddy was following me. I continued and completed 4 laps then made my way back to the house. Kristy was waiting for me. "You realize extensive modifications will need to be done to the runway and structures at the new airport, correct?" she...
My name is Mike and I'm 22 years old, I have an average build and looks. I have dark brown hair and a seven inch penis. I just moved out of the parent's place a few months ago and got a 2 bedroom apartment that I share with my best friend. My best friend name is Cassidy, she isn't thin but she definitely isn't fat either although the way she dresses in baggy clothes a lot of the time I feel like she think she is. She also has dark brown hair, she has what i assume are C or D cup breasts. She...
Mind ControlWednesday, June 30, 2010 Jake checked his email before the girls woke up. While he was waiting for them to stir, he replied to the message he had received from Donna on Sunday evening. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: re: Sometimes old bones need warm waters Dear Donna, The idea of enjoying the company of a pretty woman like yourself for an entire baseball game sounds wonderful. Sadly we can never meet. Or at least not before October 2015. That’s my...
Saturday, June 12, 2010 “Tell me what you’ve got,” Jake said “I’m at a Holiday Inn Express,” Mark said. “It’s on the edge of the city, right next to the interstate. There’re almost no cars here. But there is a big silver Mercedes.” “Two door or four door?” “Sedan. It’s an S600, just like Carol said.” “Hold on a sec.” Jake turned to Havel. “Get back to the interstate. Head north.” Jake went back to Mark. “Are you out of sight, Mark?” “I’m parked about a block away at the moment.” “Good....
Sunday, June 13, 2010 Jake’s cell phone rang. Julie moaned and rolled over. “Jake, Jerry here. The meeting with Ryan Caldwell is set. You need to get into the city. You’ve got 45 minutes.” “What time is it, Jerry?” “It’s 2:30. You have to be at the IHOP on Commerce at 3:15. This is very sensitive, Jake. If you’re not on time, Caldwell won’t wait for you. He’s putting himself in a dangerous position as it is.” “Is it just us?” “Yes, I had an intermediary set up the meeting, but there’s...
James sat upright on his bed, with his legs crossed and hishands holding his head up. He just stared at the small, red notebook that lay in front of him, this mysterious gift that was granted to him. His own name was engraved on the front. It was almost like it was glowing, beckoning him to open it, to control reality even more. His mind was racing, full of thoughts of Amy, Kirsty and the words written inside the book: ‘Kirsty is going to change her mind and ask me to come over to work on the...
SupernaturalFriday, August 6, 2010 Before Jake left the pool, he asked Kara to block his orgasms. Then he took Leanne back to his room, undressed her, and laid her on the bed where he lavished attention on her. He suckled her breasts to one climax and then ate her to a second. As she was recovering from that one, Jake put a pillow under her ass and pulled a tube of lube from his bedside table. He drizzled some onto his fingers and began to toy with her anus. Leanne responded enthusiastically as all the...
Thursday, July 1, 2010 As Jake sat, trying to relax, Alice came in. She put her hands on his shoulders and began to knead them. “Oh, that feels good, love. Smart and beautiful and you have strong hands, too. I’m glad you work for me.” “Seriously, Jake, would you let me know when all this is over? I’ll worry myself sick if I don’t hear something.” “Sure, sweetheart. I’m planning on visiting him Saturday. I’ll call you that night to let you know it’s over.” Jake stood. “Now tell me how...
Thursday, June 10, 2010 “What’s this all about?” Brian asked when they were in the car. Carol sat up front with Jake. “You may know that Carol and I have an arrangement.” “What? No. I don’t know anything about that.” “Carol and I have sex. In fact, we have a lot of sex.” “You jerk. What about Julie, Kara and my mom?” “Carol and I have been together about as long as Julie and I. You don’t know that they come as a boxed set?” “How would I know that?” “Well, I can’t help it if you’re not...
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...
Friday, June 11, 2010 Jake knocked on the Harrison’s door. Christine answered. When she saw him, she dropped her eyes and asked him in. “Thank you, Christine. Can you tell me where Jan is?” “Out back. By the pool.” Jan was lying in a lounge chair, reading a book, and sweating in the heat. She smiled at him. Though he wasn’t sure how it was physically possible, her swimsuit was even scantier than his last visit. Jake changed in the pool house and sat in a nearby chair which he...
Tuesday, June 22, 2010 Jan laughed when she saw Jake’s new bed. “What is this, Jake? You’re already set up for orgies?” “Neat, isn’t it? It was a present from Leanne.” “Hmmm. What does that say?” Jake sat on the bed and began to unbutton her shirt, kissing her chest and belly as they were exposed. “She did it as a surprise for me. The biggest surprise is that she did it at all. She’s the least adventurous of my women.” “I’d say that at some level she wants to become more adventurous....
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...
Tuesday, June 29, 2010 Julie appeared a half-hour later. “Hello, beautiful,” Jake said to her with a smile. “I was just thinking about you.” “Oh?” “I’m looking forward to us being together tonight.” “About that...” “Yes?” “Emily wants to be with you.” “Be with me?” “Be with you.” “For sex?” “Maybe, but not necessarily.” “She decided that herself?” “She’s been talking to her mom. She’s not certain that sex is what she wants. She’d like to ease into it, maybe try kissing and...
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, June 8, 2010 There was a knock on the door. Jake sensed Gil and Jason. He let them in and offered them drinks. After they were served, they sat in the living room. “What’s this about, Jake?” Gil asked. “I’ve got a proposition for you. But before I tell you, you have to agree to keep it secret. What we talk about goes no further. Agreed?” “Okay,” Gil said. “Jason?” “Sure.” “Okay, here’s the deal. Carol wants to have sex with you.” Gil looked over at Jason in surprise. “Isn’t...
Sunday, July 4, 2010 Jake let himself into the suite. As he had ridden the elevator up, he had been bracing himself for a wave of women. But as he got into range, he wasn’t able to connect to anyone. Well, good for them. Jake was glad they were out playing. Things had been tense for a long time. He had caught an early commercial flight to Chicago that day, hoping to spend some time with Lizzie and Emily before their flight back to Iowa. At least he would still be able to say goodbye. Jake...
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...
Thursday, July 1, 2010 Boris gave Jake a ride to pick up his car at the dealership. They arranged to meet at the airport late in the afternoon. Then, after a trip to the grocery store, Jake drove to see his father. He backtracked a couple of times on the farm-to-market roads. When he was sure that he wasn’t being followed, he turned onto the farm road. Harris was waiting at the door. “As much as I appreciate being able to see, hear, walk and talk, it’s still good to see a person every once...
Sunday, May 30, 2010 Jake waited a minute for Ellen to get inside, and then he followed. As soon as he was in the door, Ellen grabbed him in a bone-crunching hug. “Jake, that was the most fun I’ve ever had. It was perfect.” “You were perfect, Mom. And you did so well.” Jan Harrison walked out of the kitchen. “You’re home so soon? I half expected you to make a night of it.” “Jan wanted to hear how our date went,” Ellen said. Jake hugged Jan tightly. “Thank you for what you did for my...
Sunday, May 30, 2010 Jake knocked on the front door of the DeRizzo house still dressed in his church clothes. Julie answered the door dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. She pulled him inside and kissed him. Leanne came down the hallway when Julie finally released him. “You guys keep your hands off of each other this afternoon. Mr. DeRizzo is not the kind to approve of young love, so don’t give him a reason to come down on you.” “I’ll be good, Leanne,” Jake said. “By the way, you look lovely....
Saturday, June 19, 2010 Carol got into Jake’s car. Once she was belted in, Jake drove off, heading east toward one of the adjacent suburbs. “So what’s going on that you can’t tell me about on the phone? And why am I all tarted up?” “We’re going hunting.” “For men?” “Yep.” Her arousal surged. “Oh, man. Thanks, Jake. Where are we going to go hunting?” “Someplace where a herd of young, virile guys in good physical condition has been spotted.” “A bunch of guys?” “Yep.” “How...
Saturday, May 29, 2010 Ten minutes later, Jake, Leanne and Carol knocked on Jake’s grandparent’s door. Gramma let them in. “Gramma, do you know Leanne DeRizzo?” Jake asked. “Of course. I’ve known Leanne forever. It’s been a long time, dear.” “This is Carol Finch,” Jake said. “Now, Carol is new. I’ve never had the pleasure. But this doesn’t look like a social call. Do you want to talk to David?” “We would like to talk to both of you, Mrs. Fielding.” “Call me Connie, Leanne. Let me get...
Monday, June 7, 2010 “Tell me again why this 13-year-old boy is driving us home?” Shannon asked from the back seat. “I resent the suggestion that I’m only 13. I’ll have you know that I’ve got an official government document that proves definitively that I am, in fact, 16 years old.” “And how did you get that?” “The DMV gave it to me.” “Why would they give you an ID that says you’re 16?” “You’d have to ask them. I admit that if they were to review things, they might decide to take it...
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...
Monday, June 28, 2010 The room was sprayed with glass, blood, skull fragments, and brains. Jake felt something strike him painfully in the cheek, just below his right eye. A squishy mass hit him square in the face. Caldwell fell onto the conference table without the top part of his head. The court reporter screamed, loud and long. One of the lawyers vomited. Jake was buffeted by the shock and fear of all the people present. It took him several seconds to compose himself and filter out the...
Saturday, June 26, 2010 Jake was up early. He took his laptop with him to breakfast and composed a message. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: re: Family is what counts Dearest Donna, It is probably best if we keep our distance. I admit that I have seen you in the courtroom. In fact, I was quite taken with you. But you would have been disappointed if you had met me. I am 97 years old and I haven’t been able to find my teeth for the last week. I don’t...
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...
