Betsy's break from her life's chapter was short and she could hardly wait to do more fantasizing. She longed for more dreams about Doris and quickly lapsed into the chapter where she left off.
The following day after her episode with Bingo, Doris took Betsy to her favorite hairdresser and told him to give her the works. Betsy remembered the man, as being so gay, but then she came to the conclusion that she really liked him. He was the best hairdresser and she decided to keep using him, even to this day.
When Betsy sat down in the salon chair that day, he gave her a glass of wine. This was only done for special customers and the gesture was interpreted as well-meaning and thoughtful by Betsy. The hairdresser's plan was for some streaks of color and he quickly put strips of foil in her hair. Then he motioned for Betsy to follow him. She was unsure at first, but he proceeded to the rear of the salon and she followed him.
Suddenly he ordered her to take off her shorts and panties. Her jaw dropped at such a surprising request and she merely stood still in utter shock. "Doris say ... the works. Now if you want to argue with her ... leave. But I not want to piss her off. She tell Angelo to give the works ... and that means get rid of all that nasty hair, honey."
Betsy shrugged her shoulders realizing her fate was already decided. She followed the man's directions and quickly found herself sitting in some doctor-like apparatus and Angelo was waxing her. "Spread them sexy legs, honey. We want to make Doris so happy she can't stop eating your beautiful, shaved pussy. First time ... it can be a bitch. But it not hurt ... if done right."
Betsy blushed the darkest red and she was positive her face was on fire. Angelo never realized that it was from hearing the term bitch. "Not worry. Angelo very good at waxing," he said. "Also, Angelo not into girls ... but I can see what Doris loves about you."
She shuddered, now years later, thinking about the experience. Angelo applied the wax and he was coating her pelvis when a fellow hairdresser came into the room. Betsy's legs were spread so wide it was impossible to hide anything when the man stared at her lower regions. Then Angelo wiped the wax all over her asshole ensuring it covered every hair on her crotch.
Thinking of being fully exposed in front of two gay men made her laugh. Betsy lay in the chair without moving a muscle while both men ogled her nakedness without showing any bashfulness or shyness. As profound as it sounded today, she was thoroughly aroused by the time it was all over. Her entire crotch was on fire. It ached from being waxed, but the pain was quickly forgotten when Doris arrived back to pick her up.
The devious smile on her pretty face said it all. "Let's go home. You can show me the wonderful work Angelo did to you. God, isn't that man a dream ... such a good hairdresser?" Then Doris stood and admired Betsy's new hair. "Jesus, he did such a great job on the style. I love the way he colored it. The streaks ... so beautiful."
Once inside the car, Doris took her teasing to another level. "I can hardly wait ... to taste the freshly shaved pussy. I think I'll use my tongue to see if Angelo missed anything," Doris said with a grin. "Do you know what? I think Bingo will love the new look."
Betsy was too stunned to say anything and merely sat listening to her dear friend. "I went home while you were with Angelo. Do you know what? I think Bingo is even hornier than he was last night," Doris whispered. "He screwed my brains out while I was waiting. I can't remember him knotting with me for so long. I must have cum a dozen times with his thick cock buried in my belly."
Betsy sat beside Doris and her whole body trembled, as she thought about what she was hearing. "And guess what, my love," Doris asked? She paused for just a moment and then answered her own question. "I promised Bingo a reward. A cleanly shaven bitch he can fuck ... just like he did last night."
All of a sudden Doris tossed something into Betsy's lap. "Here! Put that on. I don't want to be the only bitch wearing one." Suddenly Betsy noticed the identical collar around Doris' long, slender neck and she obediently slipped on the ominous dog collar.
That had been the day after the first time. Doris almost had two or three accidents driving home because she couldn't keep her foot off the gas. The car was barely in the driveway and then she was motioning for Betsy to hurry. They just got inside the front door when Doris slammed Betsy back against the wall of the foyer. The first kiss spoke volumes about what was next.
Doris kissed Betsy hard on the lips and her tongue danced into her friend's mouth. Her left arm held Betsy flat against the wall and her right hand took liberties of a rapist. "Suck it in. Suck in your tummy," she hissed making it sound like the sternest command.
Doris jammed her hand inside of Betsy's shorts. There were no panties, which were purposely kept by Angelo, and Doris' hand closed over the freshly shaven pelvis. Then she moved her head back and put the knuckle of her left forefinger into Betsy's mouth. She didn't have to give the command to suck, as Betsy immediately sucked the bent knuckle into her steamy mouth, pretending it was a tiny penis.
Betsy's breathing was not efficient enough and she started to gasp for much needed air. Suddenly Doris jammed her middle finger into her soaked pussy slit and the sudden act forced Betsy onto her tiptoes. Then Doris cleverly placed her finger directly on top of the rosy clitoris and pulled upwards as hard as she could. It made Betsy rise higher on her toes, but it wasn't good enough for Doris.
She pressed harder on the slippery clitoris and rolled it back and forth. "I love the baby-like pussy. It feels so wet ... so delicious ... so suckable," Doris whispered in her ear. "Don't you dare cum. Not yet ... not until I say you can. Don't you dare!"
"Oh gawd ... stop. Please ... don't do that. Oh gawd ... my cunt is so hot," Betsy whispered, so softly her words were barely audible.
"Are you ready? Can you cum for your lover?" Doris teased. "I can feel your juices ... running out."
"Yes ... gawd yes. I have to cum ... oh please," Betsy moaned.
All of a sudden Doris yanked her hand out of Betsy's shorts. She was very familiar with Betsy's body and knew her friend was on the brink. "Yes! You're ready. You are acting like a bitch ... and I think you should be one," Doris whispered smiling brightly at Betsy. "Let's see if Bingo likes his hairless bitch. Let's see if she can make him the happiest dog in the world."
Doris grabbed Betsy's hand with only one thing in mind. She almost ran up the stairs and immediately went into her bedroom where someone was patiently waiting. Doris' hand shifted up to the leather collar. She grabbed it by a small metal ring in front and led Betsy across the room until she was standing next to Bingo's bed. She subtly let go of Betsy's collar and left the stunned woman standing all by herself.
Bingo's head came up off his paws and his tailed wagged, showing his great happiness. He sat up and acted like he was waiting for some kind of reward or treat. Bingo stared at his new mistress and he wondered when she was going to start acting like his loyal bitch.
Betsy didn't know what to do. She stood frozen to the spot and her head moved back and forth from Bingo to Doris. The dog appeared excited and ready for something to happen. Doris had walked over to a plush chair about ten feet away and she was sitting motionless, as if waiting for Betsy to act.
Betsy was distraught and remained petrified next to Bingo's bed. She could condone what happened yesterday because she was forced. At the time, Doris was beside her and she was forcing her to be an animal toy. All of a sudden her best friend was sitting in a chair and her face was etched with a serious expression, which indicated she wanted complete compliance.
Suddenly Doris broke the deathly silence. "I'm waiting! Get down ... on your hands and knees," Doris said. "Show Doris how much you like being my bitch ... Bingo's bitch."
Abruptly Doris turned the lights off and the only light came from a lamp next to Bingo's bed. It was almost surreal and Betsy felt like she was performing for Doris. She was an actress in the spotlight and the audience was waiting. Betsy was totally embarrassed, but she managed to slowly strip her blouse and bra, laying them carefully on a chair. Suddenly Bingo couldn't wait anymore. He jumped up putting his big paws on her, as if he wanted her to get down. Betsy struggled to control the big dog and still not fall over.
All of a sudden she tripped and landed hard on Bingo's bed. Betsy was in a heap, twisting and turning in an effort to evade Bingo's determined assault. When her hand brushed along Bingo's furry belly, Betsy almost fainted. His throbbing pecker was already partially out of the hairy sheath and bouncing up and down from his great excitement.
Betsy quickly turned onto her stomach. She wanted to please Doris and pulled her legs into her middle so she was in a huddled position on her knees. Bingo immediately jumped her and his ass was a furious pumping machine. He tried to mount her even though she was still wearing her shorts and Betsy was positive the dog would have mounted her right then if she had been naked.
She struggled with all her might to regain her feet. Then with Bingo pushing and trying to jump up on her, she managed to loosen her shorts enough so that they could be stripped. "Wonderful! Now you know why I asked Angelo to make sure you didn't wear panties." Doris stared at the erotic scenes, knowing exactly what would happen, and her eyes were ablaze with anticipation.
Betsy took one more prolonged glance at Doris before she surrendered. The look on the prettiest face in the world indicated that there was only one way Betsy could make Doris happy. Then Betsy turned and faced the makeshift bed. All of a sudden Bingo rose onto his hind legs and put his sock-covered, front paws on her bare back. Her feet were planted and the extra weight forced Betsy to fall forward. She landed on her hands and knees and in what must have been the quickest mount in history, Bingo's front legs latched around her waist.
Bingo curled his legs around her hips and pulled back hard with his paws. Betsy's ass went high in the air and there was no need to spread her legs. Her vulnerable pussy slit aimed straight back at Bingo and there was no mistaking when the dog struck gold. He rammed his powerful hips directly at her backside and savagely spread her opening with his massive reddish cock. Bingo felt the volcanic opening grab the end of his flaming cock and he knew the bitch was his.
Doris had never witnessed such animal lust, not even from all of her experiences in the past. Bingo held the captive with his powerful legs and ensured the seductive ass was pointed high in the air. His paws thrust between the velvety thighs holding them apart just enough for him to ravage the delicate pussy. He pumped with the fury of a wild beast and his cock was going in and out of Betsy's cunt at a furious tempo.
Doris' eyes grew wider, when she noticed her faithful pet pause for the briefest moment, and then plant his enlarged knot inside the bitch's tight opening. She knew the ball was expanding by the loud howls from her lover and suddenly there was a calm like after a desert storm. Nothing moved and the only sounds were rapid panting from two animals locked in erotic ecstasy. Bingo's vast load of cum was being injected inside Betsy and Doris felt her own tummy churning with great expectations.
She rushed across the room. Doris put her arms around Bingo's mangy back and her one hand went between his hind legs. She felt his small, hairy balls, which were swaying back and forth, and she squeezed hard enough to make the dog howl. Bingo thrust forward with a savage thrust and inserted an extra inch or two into his willing bitch.
The scene was something out of a Spielberg script with all the hair-rising anxiety of a dramatic movie. Doris felt her lover's hips pushing back at the dog and knew Betsy was lost. She rolled her arm around the thrashing hips and instantly found the key to Betsy's fortune. The labia were already spread wide leaving the tender clitoris exposed for the taking. Doris pinched the bud between her strong, demanding fingers and Betsy's world ceased to exist, as she once knew it.
In her lust-filled mind, she was nothing but a bitch. Bingo's bitch just like Doris demanded. The orgasm lasted forever and when the final spasms rocked her totally exhausted body, Betsy still felt Bingo's cock banging against her inner walls. Her mind thought about what was happening and how the dog was cumming inside her womanly being. Then completely out of the blue, a tremor shot through her loins. It shocked her to utter disbelief and then a second tremor. When it was followed by another, and then another, Betsy realized her turmoil was not over.
Suddenly Doris grabbed her hair and yanked her head off the mattress. "Talk to me! Tell me what you are ... what Bingo is doing to you."
The order was explicit and Betsy obeyed at once. "I can't ... can't stop. Oh gawd, his cock ... it's so deep."
"Say it ... say it, now."
"Fuck me ... gawd, Bingo. Fuck ... fuck me!"
"Yes ... Yes."
"I'm cum ... gawd, I'm cumming, again."
"More ... more."
"I'm a bitch ... Bingo's bitch," Betsy moaned loudly. "I'm fucking ... oh, so hard." Doris twisted her fingers into Betsy's hair and pulled hard. "Oh fuck ... he's filling me again. Gawd, I can't stop cumming." Betsy remembered more hair pulling and how determined Doris was. "Ooh ... gaaawd. Ooh ... fuuuck. I'm cuming all over Bingo's big cock." Again Doris showed her superiority and control. "His knot ... it's so big. I'm knotted with Bingo ... I'm his bitch. Just like you want. Doris ... oh gawd, Doris. I love you so much."
Doris was finally satisfied. She pinched the flaming bud, as hard as she could, and helped her lover rid herself of the last demons. When she twirled the clitoris around vigorously, Betsy's climax reached momentous proportions. Doris watched the gorgeous body going through the final convulsions of the earth-shattering orgasm. Bingo's tongue dropped from the side of his mouth and he tried to remain upright until his knot subsided.
Betsy was totally exhausted by her detailed recall of her experiences with Doris, and especially Bingo. Up until her time with Doris, she never imagined sex with any animal was likely or even possible. She had heard of women and men using dogs during sexual activities, but now she realized that indeed, the experience was not that immoral or disgusting.
She rolled over and decided that she needed sleep more than anything else. Her mind drifted from the imaginary scenes of being in Doris' bedroom to her present-day bedroom. She was happily married to Danny and her recollections of the life chapters of her life were necessary. At 39, it was time to rejoice about all of the happiest times from her past and skiff over the sad times.
Another stunning performance.
Betsy's weekend summary of her life continued on a bright, sunny Sunday morning. She was still living with Doris and taking care of Bingo whenever Doris was out of town. Betsy smiled at the memory of Doris' first extended trip. The thought of letting the dog have sex whenever his animal urges dictated crossed Betsy's mind, but she resisted any temptation. Betsy deemed it would be a betrayal of trust from Doris, so there was no hanky panky going on when she was alone with Bingo.
The consequences of being so faithful made Betsy grin, as she lay in fantasyland recalling her life. She remembered picking Doris up at the airport and then the unspoken words between them. Doris got into the car with Bingo in the back seat and merely looked into Betsy's dreamy eyes. She could tell her dear friend had waited and that fact made her happier than ever.
Doris had a hunger for power and control. Looking back on it, Betsy suddenly realized that fact was most likely the reason Doris fell in love with her. Betsy's willingness to please, and make the person she respected happy, was the biggest trait Doris loved about her. That night they had one of the most passionate lovemaking sessions in their relationship, but Betsy soon found out that Doris had a secret motivation.
They went for brunch the next day to one of their favorite spots by Jackson Square. It was a quaint eatery that served great bloodies and they also let Bingo sit by the table. Doris never mentioned anything about her plans until they were on the way home. Betsy clearly remembered how Bingo was in the back seat and his big head was resting between the seats on the console.
His big eyes kept shifting from one to the other. "I want to watch. Nothing in the world makes me happier than watching you with Bingo. Knowing that you do it solely because you love me ... it means a lot. I know you are willing to be Bingo's bitch just for me," Doris said, as they pulled into the driveway. "You're in for the biggest thrill. You haven't seen Bingo when he has not had a bitch for days."
Betsy listened in some disbelief, but she wasn't upset. She clearly remembered glancing at Bingo and strangely wondered if he knew. His big, puppy-dog eyes rolled towards her and he seemed to know she was his. Suddenly he let out a whimper and tried to lick her face.
The car came to a stop and Betsy felt as if she was in another world. She was too afraid to move until Doris came around the car and opened her door. "Let's go my love. It's time," she whispered. "You're going to get your brains fucked out. I remember the last time I came home after being away for two weeks. I can still feel it inside ... inside of me. That time ... Bingo fucked me for hours."
Betsy was in a trance, as Doris grabbed her arm. Her best friend escorted Betsy into the house and all formalities were forgotten. Bingo gave his mistress a quick lick and then jumped up on the shivering woman standing beside her. "That's it big boy. She's all yours. Make her your bitch ... again," Doris whispered. "I want to watch my good boy turn sweet Betsy into his loving bitch."
Doris debated trying to prolong the affair until they got to a more comfortable spot in the house, but she quickly shrugged it off as a lost cause. She made a mental note to buy Betsy some new clothes, as Bingo was soaking the ones she was wearing. His big cock was sticking out of his hairy sheath and he was shooting pre-cum everywhere.
Bingo was overly excited and he literally knocked Betsy to the floor. She tripped and landed in a heap on the living room carpet and the dog was on her before she could get up. Bingo started humping her torso and Betsy merely huddled into a ball to protect herself from his wild attack.
All of a sudden Doris was beside her giving Bingo commands. "Wait. Let me get her on top of the footstool. Then I can take her clothes off," Doris said. "Sit! That's it ... good boy."
Suddenly a leather footstool was shoved against her. Doris was in a twilight zone and she had plans for the encounter. She almost ripped Betsy's clothes off giving her another reason to buy new ones. In a matter of moments, the naked woman was forced to cradle the top of the stool. Doris shoved it into Betsy's midsection and then she grabbed both of Betsy's arms, stretching them straight out. She pulled Betsy's arms until there was no way for her to struggle.
Betsy lay motionless and then it happened. Bingo jumped up on her exposed backside, which seemed to be wriggling and twisting in a most tantalizing fashion. Then he wrapped his powerful front legs around her waist and Betsy got that familiar captivated feeling. She rocked her hips left and right, knowing that she had to keep moving, so Bingo wouldn't trap her.
Suddenly Betsy felt like it was a game and she was winning. Her confidence rose, as she struggled, and tried to evade Bingo's nonstop assault. Every time she felt his burning poker strike her somewhere on her bum or the back of her thighs, she twisted away from the dangerous pointer. Then Bingo grazed her opening and Betsy moved sideways, as fast as possible. She felt her entire rear getting covered with dog cum and hoped she could fight off Bingo's determined assault.
"Do you think it's possible? Can you get away from Bingo long enough so he doesn't make you his bitch?" Doris asked.
Bingo listened to his mistress knowing she was encouraging him onward. Then he became a beast. He savagely tightened his front legs around the slender waist and pulled his paws back between the tightly closed thighs. His nails raked Betsy's flesh and it was the parting of the sea. There were no socks this time and his sharp claws scratched Betsy's tender thighs, forcing her to utter the loudest scream. There was much pain, which robbed her focus long enough for Bingo to plant the warhead of his bulging missile.
Bingo yanked the once struggling torso backwards into his furry belly and he held the bitch absolutely still. Then he probed with the end of his skilled cock until he felt the opening. He kept blasting pre-cum and then he thrust with a fury of a mad dog.
Doris was in heaven. "You're his! You're Bingo's bitch. Sweet fucking Jesus ... he's all the way inside your pussy. I love watching him slam your ass and sink his swollen cock inside you," Doris moaned. Her eyes flared watching the animal lust. "Oh God ... are you ready? I think he's going to plant his knot. I see it banging your hole..."
Betsy's knees were not even touching the floor anymore. Bingo was humping her so hard and fast that her entire lower body was in the air and her upper torso was frantically hugging the footstool. She heard Doris whispering in her ear and remembered the dire warning that Bingo was going to plant his ball. When the knot entered her opening, all Betsy could see were stars. Fireworks went off in her head, but it was not nearly has hot as her inner volcano.
Even today, Betsy could not imagine how lust could make a woman do such uncommon things. She remained on the floor of the living room with Bingo and Doris, her masters. His enlarged ball locked so tightly and deadly that it was an eternity before she was able to escape Bingo's knot. She remembered collapsing on top of the sweat covered stool and then Doris commanding her to do more.
Doris displayed her complete control. She ordered her pet to lie on the carpet and then commanded her dear friend to suck his still throbbing pecker. The thing never stopped squirting and soon his cum was all over her body. Betsy could feel the remnants leaking from her hole and running down her velvety thighs. Ordered to suck Bingo's cock, Betsy tenderly put her hands on the throbbing meat and she wondered if Bingo would ever go limp. She felt the streams of cum hit her flushed face and then she put the thing in her mouth.
It was an everlasting stream of cum jettisoning from the cock and Betsy was forced to drink or choke. She couldn't remember how long it took for Bingo to have a second orgasm, but when he did, the juice poured down her throat. Betsy drank the last drop of doggie cum and then Doris was giving her more orders. "Bitch! Eat me bitch. Eat my cunt ... put your beautiful face in my cunt and eat," Doris yelled. She grabbed a handful of hair and yanked Betsy's head into her crotch. "Eat me. Put your bitch mouth on my cunt and eat me."
So the afternoon continued into the evening. After cunnilingus and performing admirably for her lover, Betsy was allowed to shower. Betsy wasn't permitted to do anything. Doris adjusted the spray, used the soap and even caressed every tired muscle in Betsy's body. When they got out of the shower, Doris carefully dried every droplet from her radiant body.
"Stay naked. Go into the bedroom ... to your bed," Doris whispered. Betsy stared into the deep, blue eyes and she knew Doris meant with Bingo. "Lay naked with Bingo and let him have you again ... and again ... and again."
Doris put her arms out and hugged Betsy. "I want to watch more. Watch my faithful bitch having sex with my faithful dog."
Betsy reasoned that under normal circumstances Doris' humiliating commands and orders would have greatly upset her. But not on that day and she shivered remembering everything. She felt the cool air putting Goosebumps all over her body; or was it the cool air, she wondered?
Then she slowly walked into the bedroom followed by her dear friend. Bingo was lying on his bed and he was licking his softened doggie cock in an almost teasing or tormenting manner. Although it had shrunk, so that only an inch or two was outside the sheath, the cock still appeared unmistakably ominous. Suddenly she felt a tiny shove in the middle of her back indicating she should obey. Her feet moved one step at a time and then she was standing beside the large dog bed.
Again there was a poke in the back before Betsy crouched down. She got down on her hands and knees and crawled onto the bed. "Lay on your back. See if Bingo will lick your pussy. Lick it until you become his bitch ... again," Doris said. "Yes ... like that. Now open your legs ... show him your shaved love-box."
Betsy could still see herself obeying every degrading command. Her legs parted and suddenly Doris was rubbing something all over her lower extremities. Betsy never did find out what it was, but Bingo knew. The cream was something he was used to licking off her body and now he licked if off his new bitch. Bingo no sooner cleaned out the narrow slit between Betsy's quivering legs when Doris applied more syrupy cream.
The erotic affair lasted for the longest time. Every time Betsy tried to sit up and protect herself from the dog's demoralizing licking, her hands would be slapped away by Doris.
Then Betsy remembered the earth-shattering orgasm. The dog licked her slit and Doris held her swollen labia stretched completely apart. Her dainty clitoris lay exposed to the dog and Bingo raked it with his sandpaper tongue. The climax started inside her womanly being and flowed outward with the power of a raging flood. When Bingo tasted the sweet nectar, he licked madly, as if he was possessed, and her orgasm blossomed.
Doris hugged and caressed her and Betsy never realized there was no end to Doris' scheming. Somehow she wound up on her hands and knees with Doris next to her, whispering encouragement into her ear. Suddenly Bingo's strong legs clamped around her middle and Betsy wondered if she could take anymore. The dog started humping her butt and for a second Betsy feared he was trying to fuck her ass.
She felt the tip of his cock brush against her tightly puckered asshole. Then she shifted her hips and that was all Bingo needed. He hit the wetness with a jab and rammed his hips at the bitch's ass. The end of his cock grazed the asshole, scraped across the narrow strip of nothing-land, and banged against the bulging pussy lips. Betsy's hips jerked when she felt his cock against her opening, but it was too late.
His lance speared her and all the air came rushing out of her lungs. Bingo embedded his cock until he hit the familiar wall. Now years later, Betsy wondered how many orgasms she had that day. She should have counted, as she was sure it would have been a record. Doris stayed with her on Bingo's bed and the three remained there until early morning.
Filler enters her life.
Several months later, Betsy's life changed. She lived with Doris and although they were best of friends, even professed lovers, they both understood the reality of getting back to a real life. That meant Doris working in her modeling career and Betsy teaching fulltime. Each had men friends but neither dated seriously after Betsy moved in until suddenly they realized it was expected that single women dated men.
The first man Betsy dated was Jim, but Doris nicknamed him Filler. The name stuck just like any unwanted name innocently given to a person. Doris reasoned Filler was just filling time in Betsy's life until she found the right man. He was an accountant, nice looking, but not a dream-man. Sex was okay although somewhat reserved on her part because she didn't want to scare him away.
Betsy's relationship with Filler progressed to a stage where she met his family. At first she wasn't sure if the meeting was uphill or downhill but she eventually settled on the latter. Then Betsy remembered when things changed. Filler had convinced her that they should attend his father's 60th birthday.
Betsy was mad because she had to take a week off work. She stayed mad at Filler until they headed for Boston and eventually drove to his parent's cottage in Martha's Vineyard. Looking back on it now, Betsy grinned at the memory of giving her boyfriend a blowjob on the way. When they arrived at the cottage, she was amazed at how big the place was and how graciously they were greeted.
She tried to think about all the details of that visit. There were four sons, three married, a mother who was a true beauty queen, and a dad who was a big, successful man. He had played football and had more charm than anyone Betsy had ever met. He did business mergers and it was not hard to see that the man was very wealthy. There was a big, celebration dinner and everyone, including Betsy, did his or her part.
Four-fifteen on a lightly raining morning marked what appeared to be the start of social disintegration in the life of Betsy Milton-Stewart. Betsy awoke to hear her husband Royce cry, ‘I don’t feel well.’ He coughed and gurgled, starved for air, dying of a massive coronary at 4:15. A former star athlete and regional Young Businessman of the Year winner, Royce (40) was publisher of The Sentinel, the morning newspaper for Milton Falls and outlying settlements. Regrettably for Betsy, that...
SIX Matilda McBride served lunch on the deck of her rough sawn timber-clad home that overlooked the Milton River, only half a mile upstream of the falls that gave the town its name. Easily the most vivacious widow in Milton Falls over the age of fifty, Matilda was dressed in a wildly splashed pink, yellow and green colored shirt and tight jeans that revealed only an entree of ‘dropped’ ass. Matilda had indirectly told her new friend and business associate, Betsy Milton-Stewart her age. In...
It was my first night at St. Marta's School for women, and had woken up when my roommate slid in to my bed with me.I had arrived with all the other girls, supposedly all raised in a religious environment, and all having a mother who had gone here before us. My mom and dad had never let me date, and the internet was something sent by the devil to lead me into temptation. I had been a little shocked at some of the language the other girls used when the nuns weren't around, but tried to not let...
With her business finished in Vancouver, Betsy stepped out of the jet looking fresh and alert. She was happy to be back in Hawaii. She was hungry and needed a little exercise. She somersaulted off the top step to the ground below. It wasn’t that great of a height, but it was enough to boost her energy level up another notch. Stacy followed behind her, looking a little worse for wear. It was obvious that she was tired. She had that rumpled look that came from sitting in a plane for too long....
Betsy topped the hill leading into town at a nice sedate run. At least, it was sedate for her. She was purposefully keeping her pace slow, so as to not look too anxious. Her eyes went immediately to the little store below. She smiled upon seeing that Chuck was seated outside. She frowned when he got out of his chair and raced into the store. She smiled when he came back out of the store carrying a sign. He held it up for her to see. It read, “Stop and try my Hawaiian Fruit Blast.” Her smile...
The table was loaded with enough food to feed a small army: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, toast, hash browns, pancakes, porridge, and fresh fruits. The offerings filled the little serving trays and bowls, from which the people gathered around the table could assemble their own meal. Betsy grabbed a substantial portion from each tray. Charlie took some eggs, toast, and fresh fruits. Candice ate a bowl of porridge, and some fresh fruits. There was no conversation while they ate. Betsy...
Betsy took a seat at the head of the conference table in the modular office. Once again, she was dismayed by the barrenness of the office. There were six plain metal desks, three to each side of the room, facing the front door. The chairs were plain ‘office mega-store discount chairs’ that, in her opinion, were just plain ugly and looked uncomfortable. There weren’t any partitions to give even a modicum of privacy. There were no personalized knickknacks or photographs on the desks. There...
Betsy seemed like almost the perfect mate. I was 28, single, had been very successful the first three years I worked for the most prestigious law firm in Austin trying lawsuits against large multinational corporations that tried to screw average people, and was tired of the dating scene. I wanted a woman to share my life with; and kids. Everything about Betsy said she was the one. Betsy was 22, a college graduate, and worked in pharmaceutical sales. It was not surprising that she worked in...
Wife LoversBetsy sighed. “What’s the matter?” Sally asked. Betsy was doing dumbbell hammer curls with a pair of twenty pound weights. She sped up her repetition rate. “I’m never going to meet a guy,” Betsy said. “Yes, you will,” Sally said. “I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’m still a virgin,” Betsy said. “Same here,” Sally said. Betsy said, “Maybe you are still a virgin, but at least you’ve got a boyfriend. At least you’ve been kissed once.” “I don’t have a boyfriend,” Sally said. “What about...
It was approaching lunchtime when Betsy stepped into Sally’s darkened laboratory. The only sources of light were the fish tanks, and the base of the microscope. It was enough light to see by once the eyes became adjusted to the low level, but that always took a moment upon entering. The soft burble of the aquariums running provided a background noise that one noticed initially upon arriving in the room, but which faded from awareness after a few minutes. The effect of the darkness and soft...
Betsy awoke as a result of a hand shaking her shoulder. She opened her eyes to find Sharon kneeling over her. The light was just barely bright enough from outside to see Sharon. The woman put her forefinger on her lips in the universal gesture not to say a word. She then beckoned Betsy with a finger to follow her out of the plane. Curious, Betsy followed the woman. False dawn was rapidly approaching. It brought with it enough light to see her surroundings fairly well. She could leave for...
The contrast between the lush Hawaiian tropical paradise and the harsh dry Arizona desert is not only visually striking, but is a shock to all of the senses. The rich sounds of birds, the odor of plants growing wildly, and the feel of humidity in the air is so different from the silence, the dull smell of sand, and the desiccating dryness. It is a wonder that both places can exist on the same world. Making the transition from Hawaii to Arizona was softened by the long flight between the two...
Betsy had jogged past the building a hundred times in the past, but had never gone inside. This particular morning, she noticed Lucy walking towards the entrance. She changed the direction of her run, and headed towards the door. “Lucy!” Lucy stopped while opening the door. Betsy had slowed to a walk. Lucy looked over at her sister-in-law wondering what she wanted. In a way, it was hard getting used to watching Betsy walking rather than running. She held the door open, and waited patiently...
The crack of a high powered rifle firing was clearly heard above the din of evening traffic. A second later, there was another shot fired. The majority of people didn’t even appear to notice the sounds. A handful of students stopped and looked around, before deciding that it had been nothing. Betsy sighed. “First the sniper, and then the spotter. Scratch two more evil minions,” Betsy muttering her interpretation of the two shots. Rather than returning home to her condo, Betsy headed towards...
The middle aged man ran across the parking lot, glancing fearfully over his shoulder for signs of pursuit. He tripped over a concrete parking lot divider, flying face first towards the pavement. While attempting to catch his fall, he let loose of his briefcase. It skittered across the pavement. Ignoring his cuts and scrapes, he scrambled forward to catch his briefcase. His suit was torn and dirty as a result of his fall. Betsy had detoured from her parkour run across the roof of the...
Colonel Stewart watched the young woman running across the top of the four story building. She was headed across the building he was facing. He gasped when she suddenly changed directions and jumped off the building. Unable to believe what he was seeing, his jaw dropped when she grabbed the flag pole in mid-flight and then slid to the ground. Seconds later, she was headed in his direction. Major Morgan said, “Did you see that?” “Yes.” Both men watched her approach them. She slowed down....
“It’s clear what we need to do. We need to restore the banks by lending money to them. They can collect the bad debts and repay the loans. That’s the quickest way to return to a regular economy.” The man had been speaking in a tone of voice suggesting that he was talking to an ignorant school kid. His whole manner was dismissive of his audience, and that didn’t sit well with some of the people in the room. One person, in particular, was getting very irritated. “Are you an idiot?” The man...
Sally floated into the condo as if walking on air. Betsy hadn’t seen her since the afternoon she had sent Steve over, with instructions that he was to kiss her. She had not been around the condo, her lab, or her apartment, for two days. She hadn’t answered her phone during that entire time, either. Betsy took one look at her and said, “I guess you’ve been kissed.” “Yes,” Sally said. Sally had been kissed! And, despite her lack of experience, she knew she had been kissed well. He had...
Betsy watched a tree remove the wing from her side of the jet, thinking that this had to be the trip from hell. The jet made another spine wrenching jog when another tree removed the wing from the other side of the aircraft. There was a jolt, then the jet came to an abrupt stop, and then the world went black. Unable to guess how long she had been unconscious, Betsy woke with a start. She glanced around the little commuter jet that was supposed to have taken her and ten other passengers from...
“Hi, Mom.” “Hi, Betsy,” Ling said. “What’s up?” “Ivan is dead.” “It was going to happen, sooner or later,” Betsy said. “It looks like Russians are leaving Hawaii by the plane load,” Ling said. “I’m sure that they all got tired of the sand and sun,” Betsy said. Barely cracking a smile, Ling said, “The word is out that if anyone is even rude to you, that person and his or her entire family will be punished, permanently.” “I can live with that,” Betsy said. Ling looked at all of the...
The cell phone rang. Thinking it was important, Betsy answered without checking the caller id. “Hello?” William said, “Hello, Betsy.” “What’s up?” “Just called to tell you to say: ‘yes.’” “Yes?” Betsy asked. “Yes.” Betsy said, “Okay. I say: ‘yes.’” “You haven’t been asked the question yet,” William said. “What question?” “You’ll know the question when you hear it,” William said. “I hate it when you do this to me,” Betsy said in frustration. William laughed. “By the way, you’ve...
Chuck stepped into the manufacturing facility. It was a machine shop that produced ‘one off’ kinds of products. Usually, they were parts to repair equipment used in other manufacturing facilities. It had filled a niche market, prior to the collapse. He had purchased a five percent share of the business about a month before the collapse. The owner, Al Lynch, had run short of capital when trying to purchase a couple of very high precision machines in order to support a contract with one of the...
Betsy was at the head of the conference room jumping a skip rope, it was actually a length of CAT-5 cable, while waiting for the next applicant to come into the room. What she had thought would be easy was turning out to be a nightmare. The last applicant had gotten so frustrated trying to talk with Betsy, who was jumping up and down skipping rope, that she had stormed out of the room swearing that she had never dealt with anyone so rude. Betsy had been crushed. Ed, Ling, Dan, and Kelly were...
Betsy turned on her cell phone, and set it down on the instrument panel. The light, although not very bright, managed to displace the overwhelming and depressing darkness inside the cabin. She looked over at Ben and saw that he was looking a little pale. “Is that better?” Betsy asked. “It’s much better,” Ben said. “Good. I got Sharon’s cell phone next to the two guys who are trapped in the back,” Betsy said. “How are they?” “They keep drifting in and out of consciousness. They aren’t...
Chuck stepped out of the jet and looked around hoping to spot Betsy. A blur was heading towards him. He braced himself for the impact. She threw herself at him, landing with her arms around his neck and her legs wrapped around his waist. He staggered back a step or two. She was kissing him passionately with tears running down her cheek. In a husky voice, Chuck said, “I missed you.” “I missed you.” Chuck said, “We need to stop by my house.” “Don’t worry, I straightened it up. I cleaned out...
Betsy walked down to the beach intending to have a nice relaxing swim. It was the weekend and the house was a little crowded. She was still bothered by Chuck’s abduction, but at least something good came of it. He was now living at her house, where he could be adequately protected. There were other benefits of having him around so much, too. At the moment, though, she just wanted a little time of her own. She desired a chance to just get her thoughts in order. It seemed to her that things...
Betsy stood in front of a full body mirror, looking at her reflection. She was wearing a black robe. This was the first time she had put one on. Rather than having the full length sleeves of Druid robes, the robe she wore was sleeveless. This allowed the golden torq, her symbol of service to the Two-Sided One on her arm, to be visible. She turned a little to catch her profile in the mirror. Then she turned the other way examining her appearance once again. She decided she liked the way the...
The evening’s entertainment came to a typical end. The curtains closed, the lights came up, the applause died, and the audience rose to make their way out of the theater. It was noisy and chaotic with individual groups of people caught up in their own conversations and actions. Engaged in their own little dramas, no one noticed the pair of young women who hadn’t moved. Betsy sat there with tears running down her cheeks. “It was a comedy,” Sally said. They had just watched a university...
It was three o’clock in the morning when the jet Betsy was on arrived at the Honolulu airport. It touched down on the runway, and taxied over to the hangar. Betsy looked out the window. There was one person on duty, along with the limousine driver waiting for them to exit the jet. The man on duty was wearing the overalls that identified him as a mechanic. The limousine driver was wearing the typical black outfit of commercial limo drivers everywhere. While gathering her stuff, Betsy asked...
Ling woke up, immediately aware that every part of her body hurt. She started going through the mental inventory of body parts. Ribs? It hurt to breathe, so she had a couple of cracked ribs. She gingerly moved her arms, legs, fingers, and toes. She was relieved to discover that there weren’t any casts. There weren’t any broken bones. She tried to locate a muscle that wasn’t screaming out in pain and failed, miserably. She knew it was going to hurt to get up and try to move around. She...
Sweating profusely, Betsy wrestled the fifty-five gallon steel drum down the ramp from the ‘Bloated Shark’ to the dock. The wooden ramp creaked under the strain of the load. Forty-five gallons of salt water weighed over three hundred and eighty pounds. It was a little too bulky and heavy for even Betsy to carry. The Bloated Shark was the name she had given the tugboat she had purchased for a research platform. When she had found it, it was just an old tug that had seen better days. It had...
“Hello,” the man said when Betsy stepped into the instrument room on the tug. He was big as a mountain, with tattoos that ran the full length of his arms. His legs were the size of tree trunks. His hair was cut short, and he had a scar on his chin that gave him the appearance that he ate small babies for breakfast. He was holding a screwdriver in his hand, which was pointed in her general direction. “Who are you?” “I’m Paul.” “Well, Paul, what are you doing on my boat?” “I work for Dr....
Betsy stood atop the building looking down at the people below. Several people were looking up at her, thinking that she was going to jump. She smiled, backed up a few steps, and then ran forward and off of the roof. She spread her arms and legs wide while gravity made its presence known. The people below screamed thinking they were about to see her splatter on the sidewalk. She was only on a four story building, so it wouldn’t have been that great of a splatter, but people aren’t rational...
Betsy waded ashore. She had a large fish, which she held by its tail, slung over her shoulder nearly to her waist. It was flopping around, but she ignored its motions. Once away from the water, she dropped the fish on the sand and removed the rebreather from her back. Then she knelt down, and with her knife, filleted the fish. It didn’t take long for her to remove several nice fillets from the fish. She took a minute to wash the fish filets off in the ocean as well as return the innards to...
Once the family left, Betsy and the staff settled into the process of learning to live together. There were quirks to learn and preferences to discover. The house, with its wide open spacious rooms, was designed to give great views of the exotic landscape. It did not promote privacy, particularly with six people living in the house. Betsy was willing to drop her clothes without a moment’s notice, and head out to the beach. She was just as likely to wear clothes around the house as not. About...
In the process of selling the idea of their filtration system, Jake and John Widmeir had made two interesting discoveries. The first was that Betsy Carter had almost limitless energy. They had been told that, but seeing was believing. She could keep going long after everyone else collapsed from exhaustion. There had been one funny little incident in which a cocksure kid had thought he could keep up with her, in the workout room of the hotel. She had walked out bubbly and full of energy,...
Carl had no real idea where he was. Upon learning that he was single and lived alone; Betsy’s father, Ed, had insisted on taking him to the Carter home, where Carl would get around the clock care. It was an offer that Carl found nearly impossible to turn down. It wasn’t that Carl was concerned about the care he would receive in the hospital; but what would happen after he was discharged, was an issue. There was no one at his apartment to take care of him, and he wasn’t about to ask one of his...
Head buried in her closet, Betsy was tossing clothes out left and right. Charlie and Alice were standing at the door watching her. They were a little amused by her behavior. Alice said, “I do believe that Betsy is in a tizzy.” “Tizzy? Yes, she does look like a person in a tizzy,” Charlie said. “It could be a dither,” Alice said. “No. It’s definitely a tizzy, not a dither,” Charlie said. “I wonder why she’s in a tizzy?” Betsy growled and then muttered, “I’ll show them a tizzy.” “I have...
Charlie was seated at the desk in her office inside the house, watching Betsy fidget in her chair. They had returned from the capital the previous day. It was necessary to get caught up on all of the work that had accumulated over the past few days. Fortunately, it hadn’t taken nearly as long as she expected to get caught up on the business aspects of Betsy’s life. The staff had taken care of nearly everything in their absence. She looked down at Betsy’s calendar for a moment, flipped...
The modern person, who has lived a significant percentage of their life in a digital economy, can not imagine what life would be like without checks, credit cards, debit cards, and online banking. Mortgages, rent, utilities, and insurance are paid with check or by electronic transfer. Large purchases and consumer goods are paid with credit cards, or checks. Plastic is not reserved only for big items. People will whip out a credit or debit card to pay for a five dollar lunch, or a cup of...
With Sally away on her honeymoon, Betsy was at loose ends. After Chuck’s kidnapping, she just didn’t want to take off for the ocean for a week at a time. At this point, it wasn’t necessary. She had all of the biological data necessary for her dissertation. All that was missing was sufficient tracking data to support her arguments and time would take care of that. She didn’t need to tag any more sharks since she had already tagged far more of them than was necessary for her dissertation. For...
Ling said, “You look like hell.” “I’ve been around your daughter for a couple of days,” Gary replied pointedly. He tried to count the days, but they all ran into a blur of move and move and move. He had never been so tired in his life. Trying to keep up with Betsy was a constant effort. She was always in motion and that required him to always be in motion. The normal human being wasn’t built for that level of activity. “You should get some rest,” Kelly said. Gary pointed at Ling and said,...
In what has to be one of the greatest plays on words of all time, Mark Twain wrote: ‘Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.’ “This can’t possibly be happening. It’s impossible. I just won’t accept it.” Everyone has observed denial at work. Everyone has experienced denial for him or her self. Denial is a universal experience. One can deny it, but that denial rather proves the point. Denial is an unavoidable consequence of how the human mind works. The human mind makes gross generalizations...
In the short time she had worked for Betsy, life for Charlie had been interesting. Still unable to get around with any kind of ease, Charlie was more than happy to sit behind the desk and take care of the hundreds of little things, that had been ignored by Betsy. She’d been stunned to discover that Betsy hadn’t even bothered to open a local bank account. She had been shocked one day, to discover a past due statement buried with the stack of mail that had accumulated over a couple of weeks....
Betsy was pacing around outside the construction site. The site engineer (Stan Kubrick) and one of the foremen (Jim Franklin) were there with her, wondering why she had literally dragged them away from their homes. Chuck was standing under a palm, enjoying the shade, while George was nervously licking his lips. A man wandered by and stared at the group for a second. Finally, he approached and said, “Hey, Jim!” “Hello, Kirk.” “What are you doing here?” Kirk asked. He had been working on...
Betsy stood in front of the little stand that was selling meat. The stand had once been a little souvenir hut that had sold glitzy trinkets to tourists. It had a fake grass roof, giving it a kind of hokey appearance that tourists expected of a tropical island. She wondered where it had come from, but wasn’t interested enough to ask. A bird flew overhead and landed upon a branch of a nearby bush. She turned to look at it. It was a red crested cardinal. Like many of the more common birds on...
Betsy skipped down the hallway pausing to read the sign on each door. The other students in the hallway would move over to the other side to avoid getting hit by the jump rope. She stopped in front of one of the doors and read the name off the nameplate aloud, “Sally Tilton.” She stepped back nearly hitting a student with her jump rope and read the sign on the door aloud, “Keep out.” She stopped swinging the rope around, but kept up the jumping motion while knocking on the door. She called...
Betsy paced the floor, criss-crossing the living room in her house. Fortunately, the house was built with a wide open spacial style that allowed her a lot of room to move. If the room had been a bit smaller, she would have been bouncing off the walls ... literally, not figuratively. Not for the first time since returning to the house that morning, she asked, “Where is he?” “I don’t know,” Charlie answered without having to ask who he was. “Why isn’t Gary here?” “He had to go to the...
With the destruction of the economy, a number of things had changed in the world. One, which almost no one would even think about, was the disappearance of certain specialty shops, of which bridal stores were a good example. There just wasn’t a place to buy what had become a traditional wedding gown. What few dresses had remained on the shelves of stores at the time of the collapse had long since disappeared. Young couples getting married now tended to wear nice dresses and suits. The new...
The desert stretches from horizon to horizon, existing in both time and space. One man gazes upon it and sees paradise. Another man gazes upon the same scene and only sees desolation. One desert, two men, and three entirely different worlds. It is not a mystery why people argue and bicker over nearly everything. If two people can’t agree on something as vast and as timeless as a desert, why should it be a surprise if they can’t agree on much of anything? The variations in preferences of even...
Charlie was wheeled out of the hospital in a wheelchair. As with a lot of patients, she had argued that it wasn’t necessary, except that it was. Her prosthetic was packed away in her luggage, which Betsy was carrying. Either the infection had been a little more aggressive than she had thought, or she had really been a lot more tired than she had felt. She was so weak that she was afraid that she might not be able to use the crutches she’d been given. Once they were outside, Betsy handed the...
Tight-lipped, Ed stared at the man. Talking with him was a constant assault on his truth sense. The longer he talked, the worse the lies got. It was as if one lie emboldened the next. Ed said, “She was drugged.” “The test results were lost,” the man said with a smirk. Ed’s truth sense stabbed him in the brain upon hearing the lie. He said, “Quit lying.” “I’m not lying. They were lost.” “She was drugged, and you know it!” Ed shouted. The man replied, “She chewed his arm off and beat him...
Chuck wandered over to the security center and office building construction site, searching for Gary. The building was still a long ways from finished, but he could imagine what it would look like when it would be completed. The foundation was in place, the framing was complete, and some of the exterior walls had been added. Chuck found Gary inspecting the building. Gary was checking to make sure that nothing that didn’t belong had been added to the walls. There were folks who would be...
Chuck was seated in the backyard passing the time by watching a couple of birds working together in building a nest. Watching them build a structure for the results of their mating reminded him that he was going to be married soon. He was looking forward to the event without the kind of nervousness that plagued many grooms. There was only one downside – he wished his parents were still alive to see him get married. He wished his parents could have met Betsy. He was sure they would have loved...
Sally walked into the room thinking that she had made a horrible mistake. There were a lot of people, none of whom she recognized, moving around. She grabbed Gary’s arm to prevent being separated from him. Betsy had disappeared somewhere into the heart of the party. It was a typical frat party – a lot of testosterone driven young men, scantily dressed young women, too much booze, not enough light; and loud music, which made talking impossible. The air had the lingering hint of a sickly sweet...
The sound of waves crashing along the beach provided a background noise that Betsy found particularly relaxing. She was sitting tailor fashion on the beach, looking out across the ocean at the distant horizon. This was about as calm as Betsy could appear to act. It truly was an appearance of calm rather than true calm. She was digging two holes. She was excavating one hole with each hand, and using the sand in the other hand to fill it in again. The strength required to shove her hands into...
By the morning after the altercation with Kyle, the swelling in Carl’s face had reduced to the point where he could see again. His nose was still tender, but most of the pain was gone. It was hard to believe that Kyle had been able to hurt him so badly, with just two punches. He’d been beaten up a few times in high school, but that had been nothing compared to the previous day. He had awakened that morning to find Betsy, wearing a knee-length skirt and white blouse, seated in a chair reading...
Ling, pulling Cal behind her by his ear, followed Millie and Melvin out of the plane. Betsy was inside with Kelly and the rescuers planning how to free the two men trapped in the chairs. Jimmy was over by the fire piling branches on it after getting it restarted. Ed was with him giving him pointers on the care and management of a good campfire. Ling threw Cal to the ground. Looking at Millie, she asked, “What’s the story with him?” “He’s an asshole,” Millie answered. “I figured that much...
