The Prison Planet
Jasmine came over and plopped down in her husband’s lap. “Oomph,” he said as she giggled, squirming her butt to tease him while he struggled to put his coffee down before he spilled it.
“What’s on your mind, Beautiful?” he got out with a chuckle.
She just kissed him, long and lovingly while using plenty of tongue.
He got the message, but tried, “Baby, we can’t do anything or you’ll wind up too sore to make love tonight.” While he was talking, she grinned and ran her hand between them to cup his groin. He had already been fighting an erection from her squirming, now with her hand caressing him, he lost the battle and within seconds was fully erect.
“Baby,” he tried to scold.
“Just because I’m already at the point of being sore, doesn’t mean that I can’t give you a blowjob,” she answered with just that tone in her voice.
“Not that I don’t want another one, but Hon, you’ve already given me two during the night...”
“So,” she teased, “am I limited to a certain number?”
“No way, Baby,” he returned, chuckling, “but I don’t want to wear out my welcome. I mean, well, there certainly isn’t much pleasure in it for you, and ... I wasn’t able to return the favor because you said that your little button was too sore to stand any more licking.”
“Who says there isn’t any pleasure in it for me?” she demanded, barely holding back a giggle. “I told you that I often had orgasms when I sucked you. Oh, they generally aren’t as intense as they are when you’re inside me, and trying to describe them is difficult, but ... well, they’re... different, and they somehow make me feel so very close to you, I suppose is one way of putting it. But that isn’t a perfect description of the feeling, either. Please, just believe that I really like to do that for you and ... as I’ve said over and over, I enjoy the taste of your come, and it gives me pleasure to swallow it for you. My girlfriends have told me that their men get a kick out of having their women swallow their spend. Most of my friends who do it for their husband or boyfriend, do it because their man likes it, but with me, I like it too, and it’s a massive turn-on for me to do it. When I feel it squirt into my mouth, it makes me know how ... virile you are. But that’s just one of the feelings I get. You’re mine and I’m yours are somehow in there too. All those feelings and more just make me want to do it again and again.”
“I just don’t want you to do things that you really don’t like to do,” he reasoned.
“Then we’re in agreement,” she said brightly as, giggling, she freed his cock.
Later as they lay on their bed snuggling, “I wonder how many times you can get off in a row,” she quietly asked.
“It’s the enhancement thing, I guess. I used to never be able to get off nearly as many times, and even then, there was a long wait between, but now it has become almost too much of a good thing. I’m keeping you sore all the time, and I know it. I’m worried that you’re doing it so many times and for so long because you think you have to.”
“Diana says that I’ll become more adept at taking care of my Alpha,” she began, and as for how long we make love, well, Buster, in case you haven’t noticed, orgasms are fun. Also, a woman’s orgasm generally lasts a lot longer than her man’s does. So, I get sore. Big deal. But, as I’ve said over and over, no matter how sore I get, it isn’t and never will be, a chore that I have to do. Sex, making love, is supposed to be just that – making love with the person you love – not something that stresses you because you get too sore.
“So, just hush, Lover,” she said with a giggle as she straddled him, then with a smirk, watched his eyes focus on her breasts as she deliberately moved to make them jiggle.
He could feel his cock starting to swell again, although he had just gotten off in her mouth a few minutes earlier. Forcing himself to focus on her eyes, he asked, “Didn’t you say something about us making sure the scope on my rifle hadn’t moved out of alignment when I fell into that hole?” Crap, her eyes are so beautiful that I want to ... Get your mind on something else, he told himself yet again.
“Yeah, you should fire at least a few rounds to make sure the sights are still where they should be.”
“Come on then,” he said while encouraging her to get up. “We’ll go set up a couple of targets and shoot some.”
They put up targets at a stepped-off two hundred yards, found rests and both fired a number of rounds. There was no wind to interfere, and both scopes were still dead on, proven when Jasmine fired a very tight grouping with his rifle after doing the same thing with hers. His rounds, however, covered a much bigger area on the target, but she claimed that his skills were improving. He could definitely shoot well enough to make a reliable kill on a buffalo at two hundred yards, but he was afraid that she could shoot a tighter group at four hundred yards than he could at two hundred, particularly if there were no wind. He wondered if he would ever be in her class.
Although her shooting was dead on today, she seemed preoccupied – not talking as much, not smiling and kidding him quite as much, either. After picking up their brass, they walked back to the cave and hung up their snowshoes and cold weather gear before getting out their cleaning kits, but she was still too quiet.
“What’s wrong, Baby? Did my dumbass self say something that hurt your feelings?” he asked.
“What?” she returned as she put out a hide for them to lay their rifles on while cleaning them. “Of course not.” Then after a second, she continued, “I was just thinking about what Jeff said about wiring our cave.”
“Yeah,” he returned as he ran a swab with solvent on it down the barrel before changing to a brush. “Jeff said he was going to hold off until our honeymoon was over, though.”
She paused after removing the bolt from her rifle. “But we can’t do much toward making love in the daytime, anyway,” she said as she wiped the bolt with a swab soaked in solvent, then wiped it dry with a rag before very lightly oiling it. When she was through, she held the bolt up to the light for a final inspection of the firing pin. “What do you think about letting the Matthews know that we’re ready for Jeff to make the installation – at his convenience, of course?”
Morales grinned at his brand-new wife. “That’s up to you, Sweetheart. I’m going to love you for the rest of my life, no matter what. As far as I’m concerned, our honeymoon will never be over.”
That must have been the right thing to say, because she put the bolt down and tried to check out his tonsils with her tongue. The kiss went on so long that the wolves whined with impatience.
“What?” she asked while looking at them.
“They’re hungry.”
“And you?”
“I’m always hungry,” he said with a chuckle. “Sometimes I even want food.”
She blushed and punched him on the shoulder. “We have some fresh bread. Start a cook fire while I finish up here. I’ll see if I can make us some hot steak sandwiches.”
“Sounds good to me,” he said while the wolves licked their lips.
Morales didn’t notice, but Jasmine did.
You two understand a lot more than you reveal, don’t you? she mentally asked as she stared at first one, then the other of the wolves.
Lobo, refusing to meet her gaze, looked away, but Lila grinned at her.
Chuckling, Jasmine watched her man starting the cook fire.
Later, as they were sitting by the fire eating, Jasmine asked, “So, is it okay if I leave Jeff a message saying that we’re ready for the power installation whenever he is?”
Noticing that his wife’s voice sounded much brighter, Morales smiled and said, “Sounds good to me.” But he knew that something still wasn’t quite right. What’s going on? Suddenly, she isn’t having to force herself to be in that bouncy mood of hers that makes me want to smile all the time. What does leaving a message for the Matthews have to do with changing Jasmine’s moods?
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed her lover’s expression change, and she was suddenly certain that he was contemplating why she wanted to put the note up now. He’s smart. Somehow, he’s wondering why I want Jeff to make the installation already, even though we’re technically still on our honeymoon. Did I push too soon? What made him wonder? Girl, if you want this to be a surprise, you’re going to have to be very careful, indeed. Darnit, he should never have wondered, but I’m almost certain that he picked up on my eagerness to know if the Matthews have found the girls. Oh, he couldn’t know that specifically, of course, but somehow he knew there was more to my wanting to tell them we were ready for the installation. But darnit, how could he know?
Making up her mind, she thought, I should put the note up, but I don’t need to mention it again. When the Matthews show up, be cool and don’t try to get Diana aside for a private talk. Wait for the opportunity; let it happen naturally.
Then she thought of the wolves’ reaction a few minutes ago. Oh, no. Is he doing the same thing to me? I can’t blow this. The girls have to be a surprise or he’ll shut the whole thing down in an instant. He might very well do it, anyway. But, darnit, I’ve heard the change in his voice when he’s talked about them. He tried to be casual, but he can’t hide that from a woman – particularly a woman who is his wife and lover.
The Retreat
The evening before, Jeff had called the Sergeant to tell him that four of his wives, along with Ashley and Christine, would leave to go shopping in Winter Park at nine the next morning. He also specifically asked that Trooper Tosha Arnold be a close escort for his wives as well as for Ashley and Christine. “My Clan Queen has promised to get you the names of the stores and the order that they want to shop them in. That should help you plan for the excursion.”
“Absolutely,” Higgins returned. “I’ll command this trip myself. That will free Arnold to be a closer part of the group.”
“Yes, that’s a good idea,” Jeff returned as he signed off the radio while thinking, Shit, am I that obvious? Did he pick up on my thoughts about Tosha, or is he just making sure that we have Security literally in our midst? No matter. All of my wives, as well as Ashley and Christine, will be wearing the new armor. I don’t know this Tanaka character, but after hearing how he treated his wife over the years, as well as hearing about his reputation in the business world, I’m going to be very cautious. Hell, just because the bastard is rich is no excuse for the way he treats people. Frank Wainwright is a billionaire too, yet he’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
Oh, Frank travels in one of the most expensive private jets around – at least for its size – and continues to insist on quality, regardless of the cost – but he treats everyone with respect. He wound up giving me one hell of a deal when he bought my radar patent and has been very liberal with his interpretation of that contract and the royalties that I receive. He paid me a lot of money when Laura and I had to help his engineers out – well, when Laura solved the decimal problem. He advised me when he bought the patent to my forcefield and even insisted on giving me a higher percentage than I asked for – all because I’m his friend. I never managed to make the thing strong enough to be used for military purposes, yet he’s incorporated it into the camping gear field, and goodness knows where else. It keeps snakes, spiders, scorpions, bats, etc. out of a tent. I’m making millions and the thing is selling as fast as it can be put on the shelves.
Same thing with Laura’s update on the radar software. Now, almost everyone who bought the radar has shelled out for an update that costs a ton of money, and that includes the military, too. And ... more money continues to pour in because of Frank’s talents in the corporate world. Away from that corporate world, though, he now frequently dresses in jeans, a golf shirt and well-worn tennis shoes. Then with a grin as Jeff remembered, He even talked Arlene into letting him cut the grass the other day. Now he’s talking about mowing the grass all the way up the ski slope. Ten to one, he’ll wind up buying another industrial size mower so he can play with it.
I bet he wishes he could have been the one to come up with that micro-thin armor, but that was adapted from off-world technology that the General’s people discovered.
Up early and not trusting the new technology, Jeff snuck Diana’s sewing mannequin to the indoor firing range. After slipping one of the vests onto it, he retrieved his .44 magnum handgun, put the muzzle six inches from the mannequin and pulled the trigger. Even with his earphones on, the report was loud, and he could feel the concussion as the big weapon bucked in his hand. He hoped the sound baffles would keep the noise from their living area; otherwise, there would be some women upset with him when he went back upstairs.
The baffles and sound absorbent materials had done their job, though, and the women weren’t even aware he had fired the shot with the big weapon. Instead of the mannequin virtually flying down range with the force of the bullet propelling it and also with a huge chunk of the Styrofoam-like material being blown out of it, the mannequin had just stood there. He fully expected to be buying Diana another mannequin, but to his amazement, it was completely undamaged. The filmy material of the armor, almost transparent, was equally undamaged. The bullet had not penetrated in the slightest and was lying seemingly unharmed beside the mannequin. Apparently, the bullet’s force had been shunted into another dimension where the laws of physics in our reality did not apply, just as the techs said it would be. There was absolutely no damage to the mannequin or the armor. The process of shunting the force into another dimension was similar to what Ship used for her own armor, which did not fight the force applied to it, but instead, directed it to an energy reality.
This particular armor was made into something like a tee-shirt that could be easily slipped on. It would then form to the wearer. Although it would mold to the body, with a little constant pull, it would stretch and come off easily. The pants were made basically the same way, but the supply was very limited at this point, although the tech people said they hoped to speed up production eventually. Even this was the second model.
The only problem so far was that the material didn’t breathe. In other words, air did not circulate through it. At normal temperatures, someone enclosed in full body armor would overheat very quickly. The techs were hoping to alleviate that problem – and it was, indeed, a major one – but a person could stay reasonably comfortable if they wore only the top and remained in a fairly cool environment. If the material could be formed into a spacesuit, it should be a giant step past the bulky and very restrictive suits that Earth used today, and ... the suits would be impervious to bullets or objects that tended to punch holes in the suits. The same for cuts and worrying about sharp objects, not to mention losing most of the bulkiness of present-day spacesuits.
Grinning from ear to ear, Jeff fired a few more rounds at the mannequin – the filmy material shrugging off the powerful rounds with ease. After pulling the armor from the mannequin, he stood running the material through his hands. This stuff feels like my wives’ silk negligées, and in addition, it is darn near fully transparent. I’ll have to ask the lab people how it stands up to a pulse rifle, but it certainly had no problem stopping my .44 slugs without any apparent damage to the mannequin or the armor.
While holding the material up to the light, he made up his mind. My women are going to wear this every time they leave our home. Just the tops for now, but when the lab solves the heat problem, they will wear a full suit when they’re away from the Retreat. That should alleviate much of my worry when they’re shopping.
After picking up the spent bullets, he ejected the empties from the revolver and put them in the bucket where he kept his spent brass. A quick cleaning of the weapon and he was done.
A few minutes later, Diana hissed in a breath when she caught him sneaking the mannequin back into her sewing room.
“And just what are you doing with my mannequin?” she demanded.
This story illustrates a risk of sex under hypnosis. It could be called rape. This story builds on ‘Arlene Gets Hypnotized,’ my previous story. * * * * * I was sitting in my office at the University when Arlene walked into my open office. ‘Professor, are you busy?’ I probably was, but Arlene was a delight to look at and to have around. Especially to a 58 year old psychology professor who was pretty much reduced to dreaming about what had been and might have been. ‘Well, I was deep in...
At eight on the dot, he carried a laughing Jennie into an instantly quiet kitchen. Still in his arms, Jennie kissed him. Turning to the other wives, she gave the proclamation, "I'm full of come," then followed with, "but ... I'm broken." That started the usual scramble, but they had the pussy cream in the kitchen this time, and Jeff insisted that he carry her to the hot tub. He kissed her tenderly, then was shooed away by Diana, who kissed him and whispered. "That glow on her face...
The Retreat Arlene and Ann finally managed to get Jeff reasonably alone for a couple of minutes. After kissing him passionately, Arlene transferred Little One to the Prime’s shoulder, where she made her way under his collar to her usual resting place spread across his back. As soon as she had settled in, he told her how much he loved and missed her before giving her a brief account of the trip. Little One told him how much she missed him and shared the happenings in Germany. All of this was...
THE RETREAT: LATE THURSDAY NIGHT Arlene and Selina sat on Selina's bed, their backs propped against pillows as they played with Billy. Arlene slid her hand back and forth under the sheet as Billy pretended to stalk a terribly dangerous prey. He held his body and his head very close to the bed, occasionally lifting his head slightly to peek at his target, the tip of his tail twitching continuously. Then, he would jump as high as he could, coming down on Arlene's hand, tussling with it...
A shaking of Ann's shoulder accompanied a discordant buzz from her watch. "Plebe, you have thirty minutes to shower, dress and get to your first class. You don't have time for breakfast today, so ask the AI for a couple of energy bars." Ann, bleary-eyed, shut her alarm off and swung her legs out of her bed as the Class Lieutenant, already immaculately clad in her uniform, stepped back to give the smaller girl room to stand. "Thanks, Arlene," Ann mumbled as she came to her feet and...
The Mission Hours later, Arlene and Ann, tired, eased to the edge of a high rock bluff overlooking the massive power station in the distance. “Well, they sure don’t bother to conserve energy, at least with their lights,” Arlene sarcastically remarked as they stared at the brilliantly lit station. Worried that they might be discovered, both young women had employed their sensors over the edge to gather information before proceeding with their mission. “Just how are we supposed to get from...
The women had pushed the two kitchen tables together. Frank Wainwright stood looking at them as Jeff, Kayla, and Diana came in. "We either need to get a bigger table in here, or start eating in the dining room." "Bigger table," Jeff and Diana said at almost the same time. "The dining room is too formal," Diana continued. "We want to be a family, and with all of us for three meals a day, it's a lot easier to serve in here than taking the food into the dining room. The kitchen is...
Ship ...”We were still here all the time?” Kathy got out with amazement. “Ann told me that Ship’s training was very realistic, but this is beyond...” she finished as her voice trailed off. Bill automatically put an arm about his wife as he cast a look around the room. “Arlene and Ann had something they needed to do, but they will meet you in the lounge,” Ship told them. Bill, Kathy, Arlene Ann and the two crews that had flown the training mission with them were all sitting around a big...
During breakfast in the dining room, Diana stood and tapped a spoon on her orange juice glass. When the room quieted, "Most of you already know, but for the ones who don't, Frank, Margaret, Tina, Bill, Kathy and Jill will be back from the island this morning. Margaret called me late yesterday from their hotel suite in Los Angeles. She said they were anxious to get home and would leave really early for the last leg of their trip back. I would appreciate it if all of those of us who will be...
The Retreat ... The Sheriff and his family had left. Jeff and Joe Martin were sitting in the living room talking while the women had gone somewhere, probably to the bathroom. “So, how’s the honeymoon going?” Jeff, at a loss for a topic, asked uncomfortably, not wanting to get into the subject that he thought Arlene should take care of. “Great. I’m still amazed that she actually married me. Sir, the woman brought some polish along and polished her wedding ring – a brand-new wedding ring. I...
... Ann raised a foot from the muck to shake off something that wiggled and flopped about as it tried to use its teeth and suckers on the near-impervious suit. But the skin suit sluffed off the creature’s actions without much notice, and she stomped it into the muck. A few minutes later, they were out of the water and on a long peninsula of muddy land that extended partway through the swamp. Tired, the two stopped for a breather. Turning, Ann started to make a comment, but instead screamed...
... Ann looked at the screen in front of her. “See that?” “Yeah,” Arlene said with a sigh. “Continental shelf. Our world is going shallow. We’re almost there.” “Chances are that very shortly we’re going to be brain dead for real,” Ann quietly said as she began yet another check of their systems. A few minutes later, they came to a halt in water no more than fifty feet deep. “I don’t see any signs of our intruder on my screen. How about yours?” Ann shook her head, then realized that...
Jeff had gotten a bid from the dealer on the Internet and there wasn't a salesman involved. The sales manager handled the business. "How long to prep the black one?" The manager grinned. "After I talked with you on the phone, I went ahead and prepped it, just in case. All I have to do is gas it up and it will be ready." "Fine. Do it, and we'll get the paperwork out of the way." A little later, the paperwork was done, and Jeff swiped his debit card. The sales manager seemed to...
Diana came back with a washcloth and helped her mother put it between her legs, and also helped her get her panties and shorts back on. Susan was still mostly out of it, her motions and actions slow and somewhat uncoordinated. "You really blew her away," Diana said to her husband as she sat and pulled her mother into her arms. "She really blew me away, too," Jeff said as he touched Susan's cheek. "I was aware enough to support most of my weight on my forearms, but all I wanted to do...
In the hallway, Susan threw a load of wet towels on the cart, then a moment later came back out of the suite with the vacuum cleaner she had been using. Muttering to herself, her face red, she hung the vacuum on the side of the cart and started for the next suite. "What's wrong, Meemi?" Arlene asked as she caught up to her grandmother. "Two people. Two people in there and they used up all the towels we left for them, plus extras that they demanded last night at 9:00 o'clock, then they...
... Jeff had also heard the door close, and shoved Helen into Diana's arms, causing Diana to stagger, Laura grabbing Helen to help. He pulled his .45 from his waistband and started down the hall, but even as he did so, he saw Arlene at the intersection of the hallways and knew he was too late. Jeff figured one of the mercenaries had to be in the hallway, and was probably doing the same thing Arlene was. (Slicing the pie at the intersection.) He also knew he would never make the...
The Retreat Diana frowned prettily. “That reminds me. We need to go back to 2214 to see if Jasmine and her sister-wives have caught up with their canning yet. We should do that tomorrow.” “Yep. And they need to get back into training as soon as possible too, but we can’t leave to visit them until the Sergeant and his crew have completed their investigation.” “So, how long will that take?” “As long as it takes,” Jeff responded to her frustration. “Look, Sergeant Higgins is in charge of the...
Diana parked in front of the art supply store. Hope, sitting in the second seat with Ann, started to open her door, but Ann put out a restraining hand. "Let Security do their thing first." "Are we really in that much danger?" Diana spoke up from the driver's seat. "We didn't go into details when we told you about the attack, and no, we don't expect it to happen again, but we didn't expect that attack, either. And, yeah, it's an irritant having to have Security everywhere we go,...
When they parked in the back, the door of the Retreat opened and all Jeff's younger wives, who had stayed home, came hurrying out accompanied by Selina. As Hope and Arlene exited the SUV with the puppies snuggled under their coats, Arlene pointed to an area just past the pavement near the side of the Retreat. "Mrs. Kimbrel said we should walk them as soon as we got home," Arlene told the others as she and Hope opened their coats enough to give everyone a peek at the baby...
The Retreat ... The young wives looked at each other before Arlene turned to her husband. “As per your orders, I’m continuing to schedule crews for patrol missions. Of course...” “But that’s not where you just came from,” Jeff interrupted to say. The two young women exchanged a look. “We might as well tell him and get it over with,” Ann said. Arlene stared at her partner, then with a sigh, agreed, but as she opened her mouth, Ann began to speak. “We know that the General has made every...
Hope held one of the outfits up as she repressed a giggle. "Dogs can see color, can't they?" Arlene grabbed Spike, who had apparently figured things out and was sneaking off. "Oh, no you don't, Big Boy. You get to try on your new snowsuit." Then answering Hope's question, "They can see colors, but I've read that the colors they see probably aren't as intense to dogs as they are to humans. They have fewer cones in their eyes, and humans have several different types of cones that...
... Arlene motioned to their forward screen and the rippling, wavering, blurry image there. “I can’t see worth a shit because of the burning atmosphere, and the sensors have packed up from the heat. But I think I’ll go to full shields right about...” A geyser shot hundreds of feet into the air as the craft hit the water with a sound that could be heard many, many miles away. Even at full shields, some of the shock bled through and, had it not been for the gravity field of their seats,...

Laura woke him the usual way, and she almost went too far. When Jeff grunted and his cock started to swell, she jerked her mouth off. It was a near thing for a few seconds. "I guess I almost went off while I was still asleep," he groaned. "Wow, I'm really horny." "Sorry, Jeff. You usually go forever. I wouldn't mess it up for Diana for the world." "It wasn't your fault," he said, finally regaining control. "It's just the stress of the day. Of course, I've had two of those damn...
In their bedroom, dressed in pajamas, the girls flopped into bed. Terry grabbed the remote and dialed the lights down, then turned to her sister. "Arlene said that we wouldn't have any more periods until Little One turns them on for us again. Boy, I can sure live with that." Alice got a look on her face and responded, "Well, as you know, I've only had one, but it sure was icky – not to say anything about worrying if I were bleeding to death. If that's what it takes to be a woman, I...
Jeff and his women had showered and were in bed only moments when Ship announced that Arlene's scout was minutes away. Since the family was still using their suite on the Ship, they were quickly dressed – well partially anyway – and waiting for Arlene as she maneuvered her scout through the outer bay door and onto the flight deck. She didn't go all the way to the scout's bay though, but stopped in front of her family. An instant after the scout came to a halt, its belly hatch opened and...
The Waterfall Campsite ... Dessie straightened up and stared at Ann. “I have eaten pheasant, fish and rabbit until they’re practically coming out my ears. I’ve had MREs while backpacking and wasn’t in love with them all that much, but I think I would love some now, no matter what the meal consists of.” “We have an assortment. I noticed a Brisket Entreé, Chicken something or other, and a Beef Stew, with whatever goes with them, and several more besides. We just grabbed some at random in...
JUST OUTSIDE A SMALL NORTHWESTERN TOWN Once again Nichols sat worrying in front of his boss' elegant desk. Rich, wealthy, words don't describe the extreme category the older man fit into. Nor can you describe how evil this man is either, Nichols thought, his face devoid of expression as he waited for Mr. Moreau to end his phone call. Nichols dreaded that. When the call ended, Moreau would ask questions that Nichols didn't have acceptable answers to. The town council members think Moreau...
Jeff, Diana, Dave and Evie sat in the living room, waiting. When the phone rang, Diana checked the caller ID and answered. "Glad you guys are back." "Diana, I..." The voice chopped off, then Carla cleared her throat and tried again. "Diana, our dreams..." Carla's voice stopped again, to be replaced by quiet sobs of joy. "I can't..." "You just did," Diana said softly. "You're on speaker, so all of us can hear you. Jeff, Dave and Evie are here with me and listening. And, you're...
...”See that tree that has the broken limb hanging down?” “Yes,” Aiko gasped out. “We’ll jog to it, then we will walk for a hundred steps.” “I don’t know...” “Yes, you do. You know you can. I’ll bet it’s even less than a hundred steps. Let’s count them,” she finished as she began counting their steps aloud while they slow-jogged. Soon Aiko added her voice. “Ninety-two. Told you it was less than a hundred. Now we’ll walk for a hundred steps, and rested or not, we will jog starting at...
The Retreat As Charlotte and Diana sat at the bar in the kitchen watching the other women, Selina stopped by. "Want to help?" the little genius asked the young woman. Worried, Charlotte answered, "Everything is happening so fast that I barely know what's going on." "Oh, you will get used to that," Selina said as she reached for Charlotte's hand. "Well, I'll be glad to help if I can." Charlotte glanced at Diana, who nodded with a smile. "No better way than to just dive...
They were high up and soon over the ocean, having left the continent behind. They passed the terminator and continued into night, still headed west, the myriad lights of the cities twinkling as the Earth seemed to slowly spin below. But before the view could become boring – if it ever could -- the horizon seemed to shift downward on the big screen as the Ship gradually pointed her nose away from the planet, the full moon drifting down toward the center of the viewscreen. There was a...
Jeff met with Kei, Edi and Alesha on the updated design that they were working on for the new ski lodge, then stopped off in the living room to watch the late news before eventually winding up in his suite. After a shower where he "played" with Jennie and Melissa, he walked into a strangely quiet bedroom. Looking around, he began to wonder. "What?" he asked, then suddenly it hit him, "Where's Ann?" Arlene caught his eye. "We've looked for her, and she's not anywhere in the Retreat....
The Castle ...”Certainly,” Arlene responded, “but please don’t either of you touch it. The AI can become quite persnickety, and he has the means to back up his displeasure.” “You have a functioning artificial intelligence?” Karl asked. “Please don’t mention it around him. I think he is trying to find a way to become a citizen,” Arlene returned with a chuckle. “Uh, I won’t,” Karl responded, not quite sure if Arlene were kidding or not. Both Karl and Fischer thanked Arlene and hurried off...
Jeff had stopped by his office to pick up a few pieces of printer paper. Alone in the living room a couple of minutes later, he wadded up a sheet of the paper into a loose ball. If I screw up with this paper ball, air resistance, if nothing else, should keep its flight slow enough to prevent me from tearing up things. With Arlene's encouragement while on the Ship's range, he had gained a small measure of expertise as he mentally moved a steel ball around and caused it to spin, but he still...
The Mission ... Both were tempted to use their suits’ drive units, but they knew that would alert the Throme if anything would. Scrambling down, they were soon in the water. A hundred meters out, they saw a glint of movement coming toward them just under the surface. “Let’s go home,” Arlene said to her partner. As soon as the hatch closed and even before they were out of the airlock, the AI had them moving away from land. “Oh, I so want to get out of this suit,” Arlene grumped a few...
The Retreat Shortly after lunch, Arlene went out to the Ship expecting to sit in one of the command couches and be swept away by the simulator to another very realistic space battle, but she froze as soon as she passed through the hatch. Jeff had called Kayla and Art to his office, intending to ask them to begin training in the Ship's simulator. Before he could begin, the AI turned the TV on to show Arlene jogging back from the Ship. The AI didn't say anything, but apparently thought...
The Retreat After breakfast, Arlene, Ann and Selina gathered enough food to last them the rest of the day. “Should this not be the correct castle and we continue the search, we will need something to drink with our lunch,” Selina said as she opened a refrigerator. “There is water available at each station on the interceptor. As for soft drinks, please bring only what you are sure you will drink. Storage space is at a premium,” Arlene told the seven-year-old. “Bathroom?” Selina asked as...
Jeff had just dialed his next door neighbor who lived a mile down the road. "Steve Sperman here." "Hi Mr. Sperman. This is Jeff. How's it going?" "Hmmm. Didn't we have a discussion about that Mr. thing?" Jeff chuckled. "Yeah, I guess we did, Steve. How's Marcie doing?" There was a hesitation. "You know, that's a funny thing, like I mentioned before. Seems like after the night we spent at your place, ol' Uncle Arthur (arthritis) suddenly got much better. Odd that both of us...
The Prison Planet Ship had received permission from her Prime to go back to Earth long enough to pick up Arlene, Ann and the other aviators, then take the Wing to orbit for its launch. The trip to Earth and back would only take a few minutes. Giving the interceptors a ride to orbit and their launch would take only a few minutes more. The interceptors normally remained in their bays on Ship’s flight deck, so she would have to go back anyway. Also, she would have to return to Earth again when...
Deep Space "Question is, are they going to notice us?" Ann asked as she watched as one of the alien vessels came from behind a large chunk of moon and headed straight for them. Ann knew she could not warp out without her drive trying to take some of the debris field with them, which would probably result in the destruction of her warp drive, and/or her ship. In addition, she strongly suspected that the aliens would pick up her inertialess drive's signature, should she use that with them...
“Despite our AIs actually doing the flying, I want every pilot to have his or her hands on the controls at all times when we do this for real, and when we practice as well. Ann and I have put together a rough outline. Everything seems to work in the simulation, but we haven’t done it for real yet. There could very well be glaring errors that only show up when actually flying the patterns. Bottom line: be careful and think about what the next step is. Does the current process make sense with...
When they left the suite a few minutes later, they saw Melissa at the far end of the hall. She seemed to do a double-take, then turned and rushed around the corner, probably heading for the kitchen. A little later, when they walked through the door, she was already setting out two more plates. Jeff pulled Ann tighter against him, and they stopped just inside the kitchen. I know Ann is blushing. Damn, I thought I was too old to blush, but my face feels like it’s on fire. Everyone was seated...
EARLIER IN THE MORNING AT QUINTON TATE'S HOME After his morning shower, Quinton, dressed in his uniform and still buckling on his gun belt, walked into the kitchen. Before he could sit down, the phone rang. "Quinton," he said, putting the instrument to his ear as he finished securing the belt with the keepers. "Well, good morning. Are you planning to go somewhere on your little impromptu vacation?" his Captain asked, cheerily – a little too cheerily. "What vacation?" Quinton joked...
"We still have a problem," Diana said. "I doubt if Billy has ever used a litter box. So how are we going to train him to use it and not pee on the carpet? Since there aren't any pet stores in Winter Park, I guess we can order a kennel on the Internet and have it overnighted, but as late as it is, it will still be day after tomorrow before it gets here..." "Yeah, we were lucky the grocery store even had litter boxes. But we're ahead of you about the kennel," Jeff said. "Arlene had an...
The Retreat ... Charlotte and Ada sat for a moment as Diana's words sank in. Both mother and daughter were clearly skeptical as they furtively glanced at the other three women. Diana let out a chuckle. "You can say it; we won't get mad." Ada hesitated. "This is no joke? You're actually telling us that Susan is your mother and Arlene is your daughter?" "Got it in one," Diana said with a grin. "But..." Ada began. Then, after studying Susan's and Arlene's faces some more, she...
Jeff sat in his usual place at the head of the table. Frank Wainwright sat to Jeff's right as the family (minus four who were eating with Margaret and Tina in their suite) ate lunch. All the Alphas ate a lot, and Jeff usually ate more than most of them, but today, he was hungrier than usual. He had gone through his first plate and was already started on his second one. "Looks like you're a bit hungry today," Frank tactfully said. "I didn't see you after breakfast. What did you do to...
Joyce, Caitlin, Jennie, Melissa and Ann came in with the latter two pushing serving carts. Soon, the table was set and food arrayed in front of Arlene, Diana, Susan and Jeff. The wives' efficiency was not lost on Susan, but she refused to acknowledge it due to her sour mood. Each time she had talked to her daughter or granddaughter on the phone lately, her suspicions that something was going on had increased. Then the introductions in the living room were almost more than she could...
Everyone except Matt and Courtney was waiting in the living room. The new SAC and his wife had borrowed an Escalade and driven down to Winter Park. "HELICOPTER APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH. SECURITY HAS CLEARED IT TO LAND ON OUR PAD." Margaret had called earlier to say that everything had gone without a hitch and they were on the way home, but Angel had been beaten and was in need of medical attention. "Let's go," Jeff said as he started out the door of the living room with Little One...
Aboard Ship, Arlene, Ann and Selina are teaching the Morales family how to field strip, clean and reassemble a pulse rifle. ...”Very good, Mr. Morales. That’s a whole lot better than I did the first time,” Arlene blatantly lied. “Okay, Jasmine, do you know what’s next?” “Well, I did until you scrambled the parts,” Jasmine said with a chuckle, “but I think it’s that thing over there — a modulator, I believe you called it.” And the process went on. The next time they field stripped the...
The Prison Planet As the group neared the second area that was obstructed by boulders, Jeff said with a sigh, “Sorry, Ladies, but I still have a headache from moving the last bunch. No way am I going to play bulldozer just now.” “It’s getting colder in here,” Tosha said as she zipped her jacket, took her gloves out of a pocket and pulled them on. “Is it just me, or is the path sloping downward more?” Kei asked as she and the others followed suit – other than Jeff, who only zipped his light...
Kayla very briefly told everyone what had happened. Just as she was finishing up, Sheriff Tate, who had been eating with the team, walked into the hallway to chat with the others. "I helped the guys move the bodies out. We found a roll of black plastic in the basement and covered the pile of them." "That piece of plastic over there on the floor," Jill said, motioning down the hallway near the theater door, "is that where one of them..." "Yeah," Kayla said. "General Whitworth has a...
As everyone walked down the hall toward the theater, Selina hung back. When Diana turned and caught her eye, Selina, with purpose, walked on past, turned the corner and went on to her suite. If I do not ask, then the answer cannot be no, she thought. Waiting four minutes by her internal clock, she walked back out of her suite, down the hall and peeked around the corner in the direction of the theater. There was no one in the hallway. Shortly, she slowly opened the theater door the tiniest...
With the Alphas at Security headquarters studying the pulse rifle and the women apparently all in the basement, Jeff wandered through the Retreat at a loss as to what he should be doing. Deciding he would work in his lab to pass the time, he returned to the basement. Poking his head in one of the rooms, he got a smile from Kayla who was leading an exercise class – push-ups for the moment. His position allowed him a view of erect nipples on several of his wives, and a couple of the other...

Arlene grabbed Jeff's hand. "Come on, Daddy. Let's go back to our suite. Mom and Selina will be back ... uh sometime." Jeff frowned as he turned back to the others, "Yeah, that's what I'm worried about – the sometime. It's not like Diana to run off like that." Laura put her arm around his waist to get him started toward their suite. "Well, you were the one who kept pushing Diana to go through the academy. I have been through only the first six months there, but all that discipline...
Bobby put her hands on her face and took a breath trying to stifle a giggle. "We're acting like whores," she said, while desperately trying not to reach for Art's cock. Sandra hissed in a breath. "Art, I don't know what's happened to us. Honest, we don't act like this. We've each had one guy — once, and that was just to get rid of our cherries. But it's like we've been given an aphrodisiac. I want you so bad that it's hard to breathe," she finished, not knowing that Art was...
The Colonel’s Office Aboard Ship ...”And Worthington. Hear this! If something happens to my wife, I’ll kill you without a second thought. Now get out of my face before I change my mind and do what I know should be done.” Without saluting, Worthington spun on his heel and stomped out. Jeff sat thinking. Should I tell his Commander why I’m sending him back? After a moment, he shrugged. On second thought, I asked for his best aviators to give them a chance in my unit. No one, other than us,...
