Betsy was more than ready for the best chapter of her life story. Her journey seemed like an eternity until she met Mr. Right. Danny was 6'3", very good looking and he had a very athletic physique. He played various sports during his college days and excelled in football. He was even drafted, as a safety, but chose Med School to become a shrink instead.
It was Danny's eyes that Betsy first noticed about him. He had dark, mystic eyes that were a combination of blue and green, which she found absolutely paralyzing. They were so gentle and she felt love every time she gazed into them.
Not long after their relationship became serious, Danny took her to meet his family in CA. Betsy considered his mother and father a dream come true, especially since she never had a mother around for most of her adolescent years. Danny only had one sibling, a sister who he protected like the big brother he was. She was married with two adorable children and a woman considered a knockout by any standard. Both Danny and his sister had their father's tall, slender physique, but luckily she had her mother's radiant beauty.
It was during the trip that Danny jokingly told Betsy that they would have to keep Doris away from his sister. That became a standing joke between the two and one that Doris herself laughed off as completely unfounded. Danny was very close to his family and he got along extremely well with his sister, even though he was only a year older than her.
Betsy remembered one particular evening when everyone was sitting around chatting after diner. Danny told his parents that Betsy was his life long study, which she found very comical at the time. Now years later, she realized the statement was true and she was very grateful for that. Then she remembered Danny's most unique characteristic. He never forgot anything. Her common response to his numerous recalls was a short, sarcastic, 'whatever!'
Danny treated her with respect and as an equal in every way. In fact, she reasoned, Danny was more concerned with how she felt or what she needed than in his own welfare. Most guys Betsy met would do anything or walk across a desert of broken glass to get a sniff of her panties, but Danny was different.
Shortly after their return from CA, Betsy moved most of her belongings into Danny's house on the north shore. They were probably considered a loving couple by most people and Betsy didn't mind the assumption at all. Life was good and Betsy welcomed the normality of it all, as she hit her mid-thirties. Getting married was a lifelong dream and she was grateful to have finally found the man of her dreams.
Betsy's dreamland hit a snag. She got to the point in her story where she was forced to face the truth. She was not proud of it, but there was one lie to be recalled. The realization that she didn't count omissions made her grin, as she believed in the analogy that what a person didn't now wouldn't hurt them. No, Betsy mused, she wasn't proud of being dishonest and unfaithful to Danny, but the episode had to be told.
The wedding was still two months off and one day she ran into Thomas. She was walking down the street and there he was, just as she remembered him. He was still as handsome as ever and his appeal was just as strong. Looking back on it now, Betsy realized that the meeting was probably purposely setup. Thomas had an ego that was limitless and he likely wanted to prove he still had it, by overcoming the one woman who jilted him.
Betsy was at a loss to figure out why she did it. No matter how good life seemed to be and how satisfied a person was, there were always doubts. So when Thomas invited her for a little bite to eat at a nearby eatery to talk about the good old times, she willingly joined him. Betsy reflected back on it, now years later, and she considered the times he was talking about as not the best of times.
She remembered sitting in a quiet café and Thomas doing all of the talking, like the good salesman he was. He seemed overly happy for her to be getting married and his congratulations appeared very sincere at the time. Then out of the blue, he asked Betsy if she was busy on the long weekend. So many things flashed through her head and all she remembered was being overly confused. She desperately wanted to fabricate a story of being busy, but somehow her quality of telling the truth won out.
Apparently Thomas had a business convention in Baton Rouge. He asked Betsy if they could meet at his hotel on Friday evening, as he wanted to buy her drinks and a nice dinner. Thomas was a smooth talker and she never dreamed of him having anything devious or wicked planned. Looking back on it now, she was mystified as to how she could have been so stupid. She fully realized that any sane, logically thinking person should have known Thomas was up to no good.
His timing was just too coincidental, but Betsy was too naïve to know he was scheming. Thomas had been to the clinic where Danny had an office and he had found out Danny was going to be away for the long weekend. "I'd love to see you ... if you're not busy. I'm booked in at the Radisson and the conference is there too," he said.
All Betsy could think of at the time was to not tell Thomas the truth. She sat still without saying a word, but Thomas wasn't done. "Come to the hotel and we'll have dinner. I'm free all day Friday and they serve the best seafood in the world there," he whispered. "Do you remember the great times at the beach house? God, if we could go back in time."
All of a sudden she let the fact that she was once in love with the man rule her decision. Danny was going to CA to visit his family and he was making some final preparations with them for the wedding. "Ah, no. I guess I don't have plans," she said knowing she was a fool. "Danny is away ... visiting his parents."
As soon as she said it, she knew trouble was on the horizon. Initially when she got to this portion of her life story, she intended on rushing through it. The guilt was great and she thought if she only spent a few moments on the infidelity, she would feel better. Suddenly severe punishment was the answer for her guilt. She had to see it again, as that was the only way to eliminate demons.
Betsy wanted to slap herself for not being able to lie, yet she did lie to the one person who dearly loved her. Later she told Danny that he should enjoy the weekend in CA and that she had a conference to attend. She even went to the trouble of making up a fake agenda, which she made sure Danny would see.
As was her custom, she thought it would all work out and that she could control what happened. Was it a demon, or what was it that made her agree to meet Thomas? It was like she was in a James Bond movie and on a top-secret rendezvous. She knew it was wrong, but she still went to the hotel. When she arrived at the Radisson, there was a key at the front desk for her. She went up to Thomas' room and found a cold bottle of wine and a note. "Meeting with a client. Enjoy the wine and I'll be back around five."
She had one glass of wine and then another before Thomas showed up. He came into the room and gave her a hug and a kiss, which was not aggressive at all. Then he changed clothes right in front of her and strangely Betsy remembered not being able to look away. She blushed, but didn't divert her eyes from his masculine body, which still sent a shiver through her entire body. He still looked good and Betsy imagined running her fingers up and down his muscular chest.
Looking back on it now, she realized the man was very shrewd and knew how to make her comfortable. They immediately went down to the restaurant where they had a lovely meal. The man knew all the right buttons to push and he ensured her resistance was devoured by numerous glasses of wine. It seemed only natural to go back up to his room after eating, as she couldn't think of one excuse not too.
Once they entered the dimly lit room, Thomas was in-charge. He closed the door and then he sternly shoved her up against the hard door. His jacket and shirt were off before she could react and all she remembered seeing was a blurred vision of his masculine chest. This time he kissed her hard and left no doubt what was on his aroused mind.
His strong hands quickly shot under the back of her dress and grabbed the cheeks of her ass in determined fashion. He squeezed hard and dug his fingers into the soft, velvety flesh and then he pulled her hips forward into his hard body. Betsy felt the obvious protrusion in the front of his pants and the images of his hard cock flashed in her head. She felt her dress being loosened and suddenly she was standing against the door wearing only bra and panties.
There was one thing on his lust-filled mind and she was within reach. "Suck my cock ... just like you used to. God woman ... no woman sucks cock like you can."
At the time Betsy merely thought of doing it and then Thomas might leave her alone. Caught up in a web of deceit, she never realized how wrong she could be. "Betsy! You're the greatest. Holy fuck ... I'm ready," he moaned. Suddenly his pants were bunched around his ankles and his bobbing penis was in her face.
There was nothing else to do but comply with his demands. She wrapped her right hand around his thick cock and held the head straight out from his hips. When she sucked the head into her burning mouth, Thomas' knees almost buckled. Somehow he remained standing and then he put both of his hands on the back of her head. She had no choice now, as he held her captive with his cock buried inside her mouth.
The blowjob continued for a long time and she thought he was going to blast his load down her throat. All of a sudden he jerked her head backwards, freeing his throbbing cock. "Get on your hands and knees. I've gotta fuck that gorgeous pussy. I hope it's still bald," Thomas said. "I have to drive my cock into your belly ... just like the good ole days."
Betsy remembered pleading. "Thomas. Oh gawd, not like this! I can't ... I just can't."
Before she could do anything to stop him, she was in the perfect doggie position. It made her shiver in disgust, as she dreamed of it happening. Thomas ripped off her bra and panties and they would never be part of her wardrobe again. She felt his powerful fingers around her waist and then he pulled her torso backwards with all his might. All the wind came out of her chest and she couldn't breathe for the longest time.
All of a sudden the fingers of his right hand sneaked around her hips and latched onto her throbbing control button. Thomas knew exactly how to control Betsy. He squeezed her clitoris hard and pulled it out far enough so he could roll it around vigorously. Betsy swore the lump in her throat was the end of his prick, as Thomas fucked her like a sex-starved maniac. The most troubling thing for her now, as she remembered her past, was how she pushed back at him.
Thomas was in control and he wanted to hear her speak. Thomas let go of her swollen clitty and wrapped his wet fingers in her hair. He yanked her head backwards, which arched her back so severely that she teetered to the side. His hips jerked back and forth, as he rammed his cock to the hilt with every thrust. "Fuck me baby. Fuck me," he hissed. "Say it. Tell me what you want me to do to you!"
She was beyond caring. "Fuck me. Fuck me, you bastard."
He pulled harder on her hair. "More baby. I want to hear you."
Her back arched even more and her mouth gapped wide open. "Oh gawd. Your cock is so deep ... fucking me," she moaned. "Gawd ... it's in my belly."
It was never enough for Thomas. "I want more. More ... or I'll fuck your ass."
The bastard knew she hated anal, but once she was filled with lust, anything was possible. "Fuck me, you rotten bastard." She never dreamed of experiencing anything, as drastic as an orgasm, when she agreed to meet Thomas. Suddenly a short, swift spasm shot through her loins like a streak of lightning, and then she was consumed my lust. "Oh gawd, no ... no ... no..."
"That's it baby ... I feel you cummin'," Thomas whispered.
Her body was soaked in sweat and Thomas was in his glory. "No. No! Dear gawd, I can't stop." He felt her tremble and then her body went into violent convulsions. She did the unthinkable and climaxed during sex with a man other than Danny. How they got from the floor to the bed was a mystery to Betsy. All she remembered was being totally exhausted and falling asleep in Thomas' arms.
If she was confused before the weekend, suddenly she was really confused. After the raunchy sex, it almost felt like they had never been apart. Twice during the night, she was wakened by a horny Thomas and there was no way of stopping him. They had sex and, as baffling as it seemed to her now, she experienced mind-blowing orgasms each time he fucked her.
She couldn't remember the exact time, but it was definitely past noon when she got out of bed. Thomas had already left and a nice, hot shower that lasted thirty minutes was the perfect solution for her tired body. She no sooner got out of the bathroom and then the phone rang. It was Thomas and he informed her that he made reservations at one of the most popular bars in Baton Rouge for dinner.
Thomas said he was at the convention, but he would be back within minutes. Betsy's first inclination was to excuse herself and leave immediately before she did anything else really stupid, but some strange power seemed to prevent any excuse. She hung up the phone and stood motionless for many minutes, wondering what had come over her. When Thomas rushed in and changed, she merely got dressed for the evening knowing she was not doing the right thing.
They arrived at the bar a bit early. Thomas asked the maitre d' to seat them in the bar area until their table became available, which sounded reasonable to Betsy. Since the bar was very busy at the time, they were forced to share a table with someone else. Betsy felt slightly uncomfortable when they were seated with two young coeds who appeared far too anxious for company.
The first thing Betsy did when meeting the two girls was nickname each with their most obvious characteristic. One was Giggles and the other Lip-biter, but it was solely for her own benefit that they were given nicknames. They talked for a few minutes waiting for a table and found out the girls were from Mississippi. The girls were in the city celebrating the completion of their successful midterms and they desperately wanted to experience new and exciting things.
Betsy had no way of knowing that money had already changed hands before they arrived on the scene. The meeting in the bar appeared spontaneous and there was no way to tell that Thomas knew the girls already. Betsy was actually a little surprised, but happy Thomas invited the coeds to join them for dinner. She thought it might give her the perfect opportunity to escape and leave Thomas for good, as he would still have two sex-toys.
During the short wait for a table, the conversation somehow got on the subject of women on women. It should have immediately put up a red flag, but Betsy didn't notice it at the time. The talk merely made Giggles laugh more and Lip-biter bite her lip even harder. At the time Betsy didn't realize she gulped down two drinks without any trouble and that sort of put her more at ease.
When the table came available, Thomas escorted his harem into the restaurant section. He offered to buy everything, so the drinks plus the food kept coming. It didn't take too long before the talk returned to the earlier discussion about women on women. This time the flags started waving like mad and Betsy suddenly didn't know how to get out of the mess. Lip-biter volunteered the information that she was extremely experienced and although she had a steady boyfriend, she preferred the taboo sex.
Then Thomas asked Giggles if she had ever tried it and the coed told him that she had not. Betsy almost fell out of her chair when Thomas told the coeds that she was the best cunnilingus teacher in Louisiana. She immediately turned the brightest shade of red and couldn't say a word for the longest time. After a most anxious period with everyone staring at her, Betsy felt trapped with the others expecting her to willingly perform for her students.
Feeling like a prisoner, Betsy needed some air and she went to the washroom to get away from the three. She took her time and struggled hard for a solution to her growing dilemma. 'Yes, ' she decided. 'I'll just tell Thomas that I can't stay ... that I have to go.' She knew it wouldn't sound logical to suddenly come up with an excuse of having prior commitments, but something had to be done.
She slowly walked back to the table with a determined look on her face. When she reached the three, Thomas immediately stood up and grabbed her by the elbow. "I paid the bill. The girls want to party ... celebrate with the sexiest professor in Louisiana," he said. "I've invited them up to our room."
They were on the way to the room before Betsy had a chance to reply. She looked straight ahead and Thomas held her arm the whole way. She could hear the two coeds behind and knew all of their giggling overly excited the girls. At the time her emotions had gone from the greatest anxiety to the highest degree of apprehension. She was almost hyperventilating and could hardly breathe, as Thomas led them into the hotel room.
The only thing she needed at the time was a real stiff drink. Thomas poured everyone drinks and then they paired off. The coeds sat on the bed and Betsy sat beside Thomas on a leather settee. Betsy remembered staring across the room at the two girls, as Lip-biter slowly stripped all the clothes from her girlfriend. Then the girl quickly stripped naked herself and all Betsy could do was stare in disbelief.
She was so stunned that she didn't even react when Thomas went to work. He brazenly loosened the top of her dress and felt her boobs. Every time she raised her arms to protest, he merely slapped them down to her sides and kept groping her freely. Then he boldly raised the hem of her dress until the material was bunched up around the top of her thighs. When he tried to shove his hand between her legs, she used all of her strength to keep her legs tightly closed.
All of a sudden everything happened so fast that she didn't have time to get away. Thomas was out of the sofa and the two girls were on either side of her. Lip-biter was in her glory and she took command right away. The girl kissed her hard on the lips and left no doubt who was in-charge. When she pulled back slightly and stared into Betsy's bewildered eyes, her voice was soft, but stern. "You won't believe me ... but Sammi is a virgin. She's never fucked a man ... or been fucked by a woman," she whispered. "You're going to show her how a real woman makes love!"
Betsy sat motionless between the two girls. All she could do was slowly run the tip of her tongue around her open mouth, trying to keep her lips moist, but she couldn't speak. She felt a million fingers on her chest, on her stomach and on her legs. She was unable to prevent them taking off her clothes and suddenly she felt a cool breeze on her heated flesh. Betsy knew she was almost naked, as they left her wearing only bra and panties. "It's time," Lip-biter whispered. "Make a woman out of her!"
Suddenly she was free. No hands were touching her and nothing prevented her from running away. Slowly she rolled her head sideways and came face to face with destiny. Giggles wasn't smiling anymore and her face was deadly serious. Her eyes fluttered and her mouth gaped wide open, as if she expected fulfillment.
Betsy let her eyes roam downward to the heaving chest. She noticed the girl's slender chest moving rapidly in and out and that her tits were firm and perky. Her eyes lingered on the swollen nipples and Betsy wondered if they were painted on the ends of the girl's tits. Then her gaze shifted down again. The girl's stomach heaved in and out in tune with her chest and there was a dark, triangle patch of hair. It was neatly trimmed, but sparse enough so that Betsy could make out the pussy lips.
The girl's legs were spread, as if she wanted someone to put their hand on her girlish treasures. Suddenly someone pushed Betsy forward and closer to the young coed. She merely acted on impulse, knowing the next hour was going to be a monumental occurrence for the girl. Betsy immediately placed her hands on the upraised boobies, which easily filled the palms of her hands. Then Betsy put her face between her hands and flicked her tongue at one of the hard nipples.
The coed started crying and it was not from pain, but from intense desire. The girl's hands were so desperate that her fingers intertwined in Betsy's hair, pulling her head closer. Betsy was forced to open her mouth wider and she gobbled the girl's titty into her mouth, which seemed to make her happy. She pushed on the hard nipple with her tongue and heard loud moans of ecstasy from Giggles.
The next step was to put her hand between Giggles' widespread legs. Betsy let her fingers draw a trail all the way to the soaked treasure and Betsy remembered feeling the immense wetness. The girl's hips thrashed up and down out of control and she was unable to stop the rush of cum. Giggles climaxed before Betsy touched her virgin pussy. The girl thought it was like all the times she masturbated in the college dorm, but she was wrong.
Betsy's fingers pulled the swollen labia apart and latched onto the girl's precious control button. When she rolled the clitoris around in the vast moisture, the girl screamed and her body went stiff as a board. Giggles never breathed; she didn't move a muscle and her juices ran out all over Betsy's skilled fingers. Then all of a sudden she went out of control and her body thrashed frantically all over the lavish, leather sofa.
Betsy couldn't remember anyone having such an extended orgasm. The girl's climax went on and on and Betsy was afraid to take her fingers off her pulsating clitty. Suddenly they were kissing and Betsy never really knew how that happened. Somehow her body was positioned so that she was lying on top of the young coed and her ass-end was up in the air. There was no doubt that she was completely vulnerable and before she could react, there was a face between her legs.
The noise was deafening. She heard loud slurping sounds, as Lip-biter deftly pulled the narrow band of her panties to the side, and lapped her slit in a ravenous manner. The girl was no novice and she instantly devoured Betsy's entire clitoris. Her hands were on each of Betsy's ass-cheeks holding them apart and high in the air. Lip-biter's mouth was on fire and the heat scorched Betsy's womanhood, making her temperature rise sky-high.
Abruptly Lip-biter deemed her girlfriend was finished. She easily flipped Betsy onto her back, as her girlfriend slithered off to the side. Betsy remembered how helpless she felt at the time. Suddenly she was completely naked as Lip-biter ripped off her panties and bra in a heartbeat. Then Betsy remembered hearing the ooohs and the aaahs, as the two coeds stared at her shaved pelvis. It sent shivers up her spine when they explicitly stated how sexy her hairless pussy looked. Betsy remembered getting even more anxious when the coeds brazenly declared what they planned doing to the sexy professor.
Betsy remembered having the sense to struggle, but suddenly her arms were pinned above her head. The young coed had control and Betsy was powerless when Lip-biter dove in for the kill. She lapped her slit like a dog in heat and Betsy swiftly lost the will to fight. Instead of struggling or trying to keep her legs closed, Betsy allowed Lip-biter to push them farther apart.
The scene from years ago was vividly etched in her head and Betsy tried to see it all happening again. She imagined the girl bending over the arm of the sofa. Lip-biter had her knees on the floor and her upper body was tightly pressed between Betsy's widespread legs. The girl pushed one leg up and on top of the sofa back. The other she pushed to the side and let Betsy's foot drop to the floor.
Betsy wondered what it must have looked like to Thomas and Giggles. An older, mature woman was in the deep throes of an overly dramatic orgasm. She was in the midst of creaming all over the girl's tongue and then she remembered glancing downward. Her vision was blurry, but she was able to see the length of Lip-biter's back. Directly behind the kneeling girl was a naked Thomas and he had his rock-hard cock in his fist.
Lip-biter was bent over the sofa's arm and her backside was defenseless against a determined Thomas. Betsy noticed him motion towards the other coed and she knew immediately that he was showing off. Giggles was timid and appeared to be afraid, but Thomas convinced her to put her hands on his pecker. Soon Giggles was slapping Lip-biter on her upturned ass with the menacing cock, which made her friend flinch at every slap.
It was a moment in time when a million things happened at once. Betsy had to admit that watching Thomas ravage the young coed from behind while the girl ate her pussy was extremely arousing. Lip-biter had Betsy's clitty inside her mouth, twirling it around vigorously with her tongue, when her whole body went stiff. Suddenly Lip-biter's teeth clamped down hard on the tiny clit, but Betsy was long past the point of feeling pain. Her orgasm flourished, as she rode the out of control roller coaster and she desperately tried to watch what Thomas was doing.
Betsy knew exactly when Thomas rammed his tool into the skinny coed. The devious man had the one coed hold his cock at the delicate opening to her friend's pussy and then he thrust forward. Betsy watched Lip-biter buck wildly every time Thomas pounded his cock into her, but the girl's mouth never left Betsy's opening. To this day she never wanted to admit that it was a fantastic orgasm, even though she left no doubt when her body went into severe convulsions. The girl finger-fucked her and the only lip between Lip-biter's teeth this time was one of Betsy's.
Thomas loved ravaging sexy women and he was in his glory. "Holy, sweet fuck! This is gonna be good," he moaned. "Hold on honey. You're about to get fucked by a real man ... with a big cock!"
Lip-biter remained stiff for a long time. Betsy was thankful for the sudden reprieve, but she wasn't going anywhere. Suddenly Lip-biter's sharp teeth clamped down hard on the tiny morsel inside her mouth and Betsy realized there was still something left inside her belly. She watched Thomas ram his cock to the hilt and then he pumped in and out of the coed like a furious madman. He held her slender hips perfectly positioned and he pounded her midsection into the sofa arm. Thomas hit bottom with every powerful thrust and Betsy knew he had the stamina of a stallion.
When the coed released the fiery clitoris, Betsy thought she would spend the rest of her days without one. Then the girl's tongue slapped it back and forth at a tremendous rate and suddenly she felt better. The convulsions in her belly subsided, but the cum kept running down her love canal until the coed sucked it all up. Thomas didn't want to cum, but there was no possible way to prolong it. His eyes flared wide open watching his once precious girlfriend go through the throes of erotic bliss and then he released his demons.
When the sounds of animal lust stopped, Betsy found out just how devious Thomas really was. Being in the pharmaceutical business, it was obvious he had taken something to keep an erection, as he turned his attention to Giggles. She was giggling like crazy again in obvious nervousness, as she anticipated what was on Thomas' mind. Then he easily picked Giggles up and carried her to the king-sized bed.
Betsy remembered the next installment of her life story as being extremely entertaining. Giggles kept whimpering and pleading for Thomas to be careful. Apparently her experience with men was very limited and she adamantly stated she had never been with anyone of Thomas' stature. Betsy remembered how interesting it was watching a predator conquer the timid prey. Thomas must have fucked the poor Giggles for the longest time before he could get his big cock all the way to the hilt, but he was determined.
Lip-biter who had been crudely goosed by Thomas was content in Betsy's loving arms. Somehow the coed snuggled up to Betsy and they both watched Thomas and Giggles. Both women were utterly shocked when Giggles suddenly relaxed and wrapped her legs around Thomas' waist. Her back was severely arched and it was obvious she was climaxing. It was one that Giggles would most likely remember the rest of her life and Betsy would as well.
When Thomas finally orgasmed, the scene put goosebumps all over Betsy's heated flesh. He pounded Giggles' ass into the bed like a madman and it was obvious that he was using her for his sexual enjoyment. Giggles had experienced an untimely orgasm earlier, but suddenly her entire body started to shake violently.
Thomas was nearing the end of his orgasm, but then he saw another opportunity. He grabbed Giggles' ass with his strong hands and held her pelvis aimed straight at his groin. His thrusts were slow and extremely powerful, as he drove his cock through her cervix and into her belly. It was a most illustrious sight watching Giggles' legs thrash wildly in the air, as she babbled constantly without saying any real words. The swift orgasm appeared to rob her sanity and made her look completely out of control.
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...

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...
