Mark had used the potion on Amber Rosalini, his former college teacher about three months ago. Mark was a college freshman when he first met Amber. She was teaching English Literature 101 and Mark was a bright and eager student. Amber was a young teacher in her first year and was five years older than Mark. Amber was smart and beautiful and Mark had a crush on her from the first moment he saw her. He became reacquainted with Amber almost ten years later when he met her at a University of Texas meeting of PhDs. Amber obtained her PhD and was now the head of the English department at the University. Mark was compelled to use the potion on her and they ended up in Amber's town loft making wild, unbridled love. But something else happened. Mark fell in love with Amber Rosalini. That was four months ago. Immediately after their lovemaking session, Mark went on an assignment in Lisbon, Portugal. When he was in Lisbon, he called Amber several times and found her receptive to his advances. Mark wasn't sure how she would feel after the potion wore off. However, to his delight, Amber was very interested in getting to know Mark Livingston better. When Mark returned from Lisbon, he asked her out to dinner and she accepted. They truly enjoyed each other's company and seemed to have everything in common. They made love several times (without the use of the potion) and were becoming quite serious about each other. They saw each other several times a week and the frequency was increasing as time went by.

Amber was a gorgeous, open-minded, fun-loving person and Mark considered himself very lucky that she wasn't spoken for. She explained that she was just too busy with her career to get bogged down in a relationship. That was before she met Mark. Now, Amber was in love with Mark Livingston.

They had just returned from an afternoon of golf at Mark's club. Mark introduced Amber to the sport and she was quite taken with the game. Mark and Amber went to Golfsmith Golf Center, to pick out her new clubs. She picked out Calloway woods and irons. She also looked great in her golfing shirt and shorts. She was a natural athlete and the game came easy to her. Remarkably, she was shooting in the high nineties after three lessons and playing five full rounds.

Amber was ecstatic because she had shot her lowest round ever. She shot a 94 and beat Mark handily when her handicap was factored in. Mark was +12 handicap and shot a 91 that afternoon...not a very good round for him but he was thrilled for Amber. After golf they had dinner at Trudy's Mexican restaurant and now were relaxing at Mark's house.

Mark poured two glasses of Chardonnay and gave one to Amber. He put on some music and sat down next to Amber.

"You played great today. It's not fair that you are getting so good at this silly game of golf," he exclaimed. "Oh, come on and be a good sport," she laughed. "You were my teacher and taught me all I know."

"Oh sure," he replied. "You'll be beating my ass all the time now!"

"Come here you natural athlete," he said taking her in his arms. He loved the way she felt close to him. Her ample breasts pressed against him and he felt excitement rising in him.

"I have a confession to make," he said.

"This sounds serious," she replied.

"It is. I want to be completely honest with you."

"Let's hear your confession then."

"Remember when I met you at the PhD Meeting at UT?"

"Yes, I remember. What about it?" she asked.

"Remember that glass of wine I brought you?"

"Not really."

"Well I brought you a glass of wine. After you drank the wine, didn't you find it strange that you were compelled to...how can I say this,...well, didn't you have an overwhelming desire to make love?" he asked.

Amber was trying to remember the evening.

"Well, I do remember I was turned on by you. You made me excited," she said.

"After you had the wine?" he asked.

"I don't remember," she said. "Mark, what are you trying to tell me?"

"I have a potion that makes women want to make love. Sort of an aphrodisiac but much more powerful," he said with some trepidation.

"So? Did you use it on me?" she asked.

"Yes, I did," Mark answered.

"What does the potion look like?" Amber asked, her curiosity up.

Mark walked into the bedroom and returned with the vial of potion. He held up the vial and gave it to Amber.

"This is the potion," he said taking back the vial. He removed the cork from the vial. "I rubbed the cork around the rim of your wine glass. You mentioned that the drink tasted funny. It was the potion."

Mark did not know how Amber was going to react on being told about the potion.

"Fascinating," she replied with a furrowed brow. "Utterly fascinating! Well, I guess the stuff just kept on working because I wanted to make love each time I saw you."

"No, the potion wears off after several hours. I've found that people have no remorse after using it but it does wear off," Mark explained.

"So, you naughty boy! You seduced your old teacher by slipping her a mickey!" she said feigning anger.

"I did it because I wanted you from the first moment I saw you. I just could not pass up the opportunity. Do you still want me around?" Mark asked.

"Do I want you around? I love you, you big dope!" she exclaimed.

Mark was relieved and took her in his arms. His kissed her and held her close.

"I love you too! I'm so relieved," Mark replied. Mark knew that she was open-minded and adventurous but he wasn't sure what her reaction would be when he told her that he had used the potion on her.

"Tell me how you got it," her curiosity now very high. "Also, tell me about some of your adventures. How you used the potion," she asked. Amber wanted to hear more about the potion and how it worked. "Tell me about each time you used the potion. I want to hear more about this mysterious liquid. I'm still not convinced the potion works like you say it does. Could it be a coincidence?"

"It's no coincidence. The potion works. It worked every time. It worked too many times to be a coincidence." Mark told her where he bought the potion and how he used it. He told her about the first time he used on the woman sitting next to him on the plane. He told her about his encounters including the episodes in Brazil and in Japan. He told her about the Blackthorn family. He recounted each adventure and she was absolutely fascinated with what he was saying.

"You don't know this, but I'm very interested in mind-control and the occult. I considered doing something in these areas for my PhD. I also believe that most Western religions have set boundaries and parameters that are practically impossible to stay within. As a result, everyone walks around with a guilt complex," she said as Mark listened intently.

"Tell me more about the Blackthorn family," Amber replied. Her curiosity was extremely piqued about this family.

"Ah, the Blackthorn family. This family is the most unique family I've ever met. The head of the family is a matriarch named Lydia. She was 58 years old when I visited ten months ago, so she may be now 59. I swear, she could pass for someone in her late thirties or early forties," Mark explained.

"And you seduced her?" Amber asked.

"Yes. I seduced her, her daughter and granddaughter," Mark said somewhat ashamed.

"Geez, you fucked them all?" she asked.

"I did."

"Was it because of the potion?" she asked.

"I think so. I told them about the potion and they wanted to try it. They all had a dose of the potion," Mark said.

"Tell me more," she said.

"Lucinda is Lydia's daughter. She has a bookstore in downtown Burlington, Vermont. The bookstore deals in antique books dealing with sexuality, mysticism and the like. That's where I met her. She found out I was looking for a place to stay and invited me to stay at her bed and breakfast," Mark explained. "In addition to the bookstore, they deal in herbal mixtures. It's my understanding that they do quite a business through the Internet. They even gave me a sample of one of their best selling herbal concoctions."

"What kind of sample?"

"It's a herb mixture that gives a man amazing sexual restorative powers. If a man takes the herb after he climaxes, he'll be ready to go again in a few minutes. I tried it and it works."

"I'm sure it did," she replied with a little sarcasm in her voice. "Go on."

"Letticia is Lydia's daughter. Her nickname is Lettie. When I was there she was pregnant," Mark continued.

"Where are all the men?" Amber asked.

"There are no men who live with them. They love men but don't want men living permanently with them. "

"How did Letticia get pregnant?" Amber asked perplexed.

"I don't know, but I'm sure it was an arranged impregnation. They told me that they take some sort of herbal potion to prevent unwanted pregnancy. When Lettie was the proper age, they took her off the herbs and arranged for her to be impregnated," Mark explained.

Mark continued. "This family believes in the old adage, ‘If it feels good, do it!'. They are very open about sex and firmly believe that engaging in sex is as natural as breathing in air."

"So do I," Amber replied. "However, society has a tendency to condemn for believing that way." They're not religious kooks," Amber asked.

"Not at all. They believe in a Supreme Being but they think the Supreme Being is Nature itself. They don't believe in heaven and hell. They believe when a person dies, the person's spirit goes into another dimension. The spirits are generally harmless but can be powerful enough to induce you to do things that you normally would not do. The spirits can see us but we can't see them."

"Fascinating!" Amber said. "You know Mark, this may sound bizarre but I embrace their philosophy. I've been thinking about a book that I want to write that delves into the beliefs of this family. I want to meet them!"

"What?" Mark asked astounded.

"I want to meet them!" Amber repeated.

"You can't be serious?" Mark asked.

"Yep. Serious as I can be sweetie. I want to meet these people."

Mark just shook his head in amazement. "You're something else, Dr. Rosalini." Mark took her in his arms again.

"Does this mean you're going to arrange for us to see the Blackthorn family?" Amber asked.

"I'll see what I can do," Mark replied.

"That's my sweetie. Now, use some of the potion on me. I'm ready to fuck my man's brains out!"

"I just love it when you talk dirty," Mark laughed as he felt his manhood spring to life.

***** It was all arranged. Mark called Lucinda at the bookstore and she was absolutely delighted to hear from Mark. She was even more delighted when Mark said he wanted to visit them again and bring his girlfriend.

"That's wonderful Mark. We'd love to see you again and meet your friend. Pick a date," Lucinda said.

"How about June 4th?" Mark asked. June 4th was in three weeks. Mark had an appointment in New York City on June 2nd. He would meet Amber in Boston on June 4th and they would drive to Burlington. Perfect timing because the school semester would be over for Amber and New England would be beautiful this time of the year with everything greening up.

"Hold on a sec while I check my appointment book," Lucinda replied. After a few minutes Lucinda came back on the phone. "Mark, June 4th is fine. What time will you arrive?

"We should arrive before the bookstore closes. I don't think I could find your place," Mark said.

"Fine. That'll work out fine. I'll just wait at the store until you arrive. You have my phone number in case anything goes wrong. How long will you stay?"

"Three or four days."

"Wonderful. Oh Mark. Mother and Lettie will be so happy to hear that you'll be staying with us again. ...and bringing a friend! Oh, I almost forgot. Lettie had a girl! Her name is Loria. Oh what fun! I can't wait to tell Mother and Lettie."

"That's great news about Lettie but I was pretty sure she would have a girl. We're looking forward to seeing you all again." Mark smiled to himself at Lucinda's exuberance. He wondered how Amber would react when she met these very unique people.

******

Mark met Amber in the American Airlines baggage area of Logan Airport at 11:05 a.m. The plane was right on time. They both smiled broadly when they saw each other and embraced as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time. It actually was only five days since they had been together in Austin. Amber looked great as usual. She was wearing jeans and long sleeved polo shirt. Mark loved her personality and her free thinking ways. She was the most open-minded person and most intelligent person he had ever met. However, he was amazed when she said that she would not mind if he continued using the potion as long as he used it judiciously and it did not affect their relationship. Mark explained that he was very careful with the potion and never used it on anyone who was married or in a meaningful relationship. Amber believed him. He had not used the potion since he met Amber. He looked at Amber in wonderment and was continually amazed that some guy had not claimed her by this time. Not only was she smart but she was extraordinarily beautiful as well. Mark considered himself very lucky to have her.

Amber was carrying a rollaway and did not have any checked luggage. They walked to the Avis rental car counter where Mark picked up a Lincoln Continental. Thirty minutes later they were headed for the notorious Boston traffic. The traffic was typically heavy but at least it was moving. Soon they were out of Boston headed for Burlington. It was a beautiful day in New England.

****

They stopped for a nice leisurely lunch in a small town between Boston and Burlington. The restaurant featured fresh seafood and they both had clam rolls with french fries and coleslaw. The clams were fresh littleneck clams with fat bellies. The owner of the small eating establishment persuaded them to partake of the homemade apple pie with a slab of vanilla ice cream, also home made. The dessert was delicious. Amber loved the New England countryside and both she and Mark felt like honeymooners.

Mark was glad that Amber was with him but still wondered how she would react to the Blackthorn family. She kept reassuring him that nothing they would do or say would shock her.

It was about 5:15 p.m. when Mark parked the rented Lincoln Continental in front of Lucinda Blackthorn's book store on Main Street near the University of Vermont.

***** Mark walked into the dusty store with Amber. The musty odor of old books permeated the establishment. When the door opened a little bell above them tingled. Mark remembered the bell from the last time he visited. It reminded him of the little shop in Bangkok where he bought the potion.

He saw Lucinda on a step ladder checking some books on an upper shelf. Lucinda looked over her shoulder when she heard the door bell.

"Oh, my gosh. Mark Livingston! You're here!" she exclaimed as she almost fell off the ladder.

"Hi Lucinda, good to see you again," Mark said smiling.

Lucinda went to Mark and gave him a big hug as if he were a long lost relative. Lucinda was thirty something and looked as trim and fit as the last time Mark had seen her. She was wearing black linen shorts and a black wrinkled cotton shirt that could only look good on her. Her jet black hair was braided in a one long pig tail. Her green eyes glistened and her teeth sparkled as she smiled. She was wearing several silver necklaces and rings on every finger. On her wrists were various bracelets. She had silver rings on every finger plus bracelets on both wrists. Long, dangling silver ear rings graced her ears. Amber admired the jewelry and thought they were very unique and obviously rare.

"Lucinda, I like you meet a very special friend of mine, Amber Rosalini," Mark said.

"Very nice to meet you Amber. Welcome to Burlington," Lucinda said holding her hand out to Amber.

"Nice to be here," Amber replied. "I've heard so much about you and your family."

"Oh my gosh, I wonder what Mark told you about us. No doubt he said we were a little strange," she remarked.

"Not at all. He did say you were a wonderful family and I wanted to meet you all very much," said Amber.

"Well, Mother and Lettie can't wait to see you again Mark," Lucinda remarked. "I'm about to close shop. You can follow me to the house. We're so glad you came with Mark, Amber."

"Well, I'm glad I came too. I hope I'll have time to browse around your bookshop," Amber said.

"I'm sure we can arrange for that," Lucinda replied.

Lucinda put the Closed sign in the window and locked up. She got in her old, beat up pickup with the camper top she had parked behind the shop. Mark pulled in behind her and followed to the house.

****** Mark parked at the far end of the driveway. Mark got his and Amber's luggage from the trunk of the car and walked on the gravel driveway in toward the house. Amber thought the location of the home was beautiful. Beautiful elm, oak, and birch trees surrounded them. However, she noticed the house looked in a bit of disrepair. It was a three story home with clapboard siding. There were three dormers facing the front. The style of the house was circa late 1800s New England. She saw that the house needed a coat of paint. Old vines were awakening from their New England winter nap and beginning to bloom green shoots. The vines were growing wildly on trellises. All the windows had shutters, some of which were broken and hanging by one hinge. A small flight of stairs led upward to the porch that extended the full length of the front side of the house. On the porch were various wicker chairs and tables.

Mark and Amber walked up the stairs behind Lucinda and entered the house. Amber glanced at Mark with an apprehensive look. Mark just smiled.

The house was dimly lit with only a few lights. All the heavy drapes were drawn and were effective in blocking all outside light from entering. The house smelled like the Lucinda's antique shop.

"Mark, you know where your room is. Why don't you go upstairs and unpack. You and Amber can wash up and relax before dinner. I need to help in the kitchen. Dinner will be served at 7:00 p.m. We'll call you."

Amber glanced around the house. Everything appeared to be antique. There were rugs on the floor and they too appeared to be antique oriental. Mark led Amber up the stairs, down the hall and to the bedroom he stayed when he visited last. The hallway, like downstairs was dimly lit. Mark opened the bedroom door and flicked on the wall switch. An ornate ceiling fixture came on. The fixture held 5 bulbs but only two were working. Mark walked to the nightstand and turned on the table lamp.

He turned to Amber. "Well, what do you think so far?"

"I feel this is a setting for a Dracula movie, " she said laughing. "When does the Count appear?"

"Well, my first impression was the Addams family without Uncle Fester or Lurch," Mark replied laughing. "But, these are really nice people. Just relax and enjoy them."

"Why do they keep everything so dark?" Amber asked.

"Beats me," said Mark shrugging.

"Lucinda seems very nice. Very pretty woman, I'd say," Amber offered.

"All the women in this family are attractive." Mark said opening his suitcase. "Come on, let's unpack. The bathroom is just down the hall if you need to use it."

"Come to think of it, I do!" Amber said.

Amber walked down the dimly lit hall to the bathroom with her cosmetic bag. The bathroom was vintage early 1900s. The floor and walls were tiled with white and black tile. The bath and fixtures were all huge. The toilet was the old fashioned kind with the tank on top. She put the cosmetic bag on the glass shelf over the lavatory and walked to the toilet. She loosened her belt, pulled down her slacks and panties, sat on the wooden seat of the large porcelain toilet and tinkled. She dabbed between her legs with a two pieces of toilet tissue, pulled up her panties and slacks and walked to sink. The ornate light fixture over the mirror was not exactly the best light for a woman to put on makeup. She washed her hands and combed her hair. She took out a tube of lipstick from her cosmetic bag and put some fresh lipstick.

After several minutes, Amber joined Mark in the room. Mark had kicked off his shoes and was lying on the poofy feather bed with his head propped up on two large pillows.

"Well, you look nice and comfy," she said getting on the bed.

"Mmm, I am. I could take a nice nap right now. Come closer to me, my darling so I can suck your blood," Mark said feigning a Count Dracula accent.

Amber snuggled up to Mark. "Maybe we have time for a little quickie in Dracula's lair before dinner," Amber said as she moved her hand to Mark's crotch.

"Mmm, maybe we do. But, I think we should save it for later. You never know what's going to happen later on," Mark said.

"Maybe we'll have an old fashioned orgy!" Amber said teasingly.

"Maybe. But right now, let me close my eyes and rest a bit."

Amber moved closer to Mark and closed her eyes.

***** The knock on the door startled Mark. He quickly glanced at his wristwatch and saw that he had napped about twenty minutes. Amber also jumped at the door knock. It was 6:55 p.m.

"Mark, dinner is ready," they heard Lucinda announce.

Amber quickly changed to fresh, white cotton shirt and linen pants. Mark just slipped on a fresh polo. They walked down the stairs and could see light streaming through the dining room door in contrast to the rest of the house which was quite dark.

"Get ready for an experience," Mark said as he squeezed Amber's hand.

They entered the candlelit dining room. There were candles on the table, and on the buffet table against the wall. There were several sconces on the wall with long black tapers. In addition to the candle light, there was a chandelier with small bulbs over the dining room table. The smell of fresh baked bread wafted through the room. Mark smiled as he saw the matriarch Lydia at the head of the table. Lydia was wearing her customary black dress that looked circa 1940s. Her white hair was braided and knotted in a bun atop her head. Her skin looked like fine china. Amber was struck by her dignified beauty. She had silver earrings dangling from her ears and wore silver bracelets on each wrist. She wore a black onyx ring on her left hand.

"Well, Mark, it's certainly good to see you again," Lydia said in her clipped New England accent. She had a trace of a smile.

"It's good to see you too, Lydia!" Mark replied. "I'd like you meet a very good friend of mine, Amber Rosalini."

"I'm very glad to meet you, my dear," Lydia said holding out her hand for Amber. Amber walked to her and shook her hand.

"And, I'm glad to meet you," Amber replied.

"Please sit down," Lydia said motioning to the designated chairs for Mark and Amber. "Mark, you sit there and Amber sit here." They were seated toward the head of the table, opposite of each other and close to Lydia.

Lettie came of the kitchen carrying a large ceramic tureen of steaming soup. She smiled broadly when she saw Mark. She put the pot down and walked to Mark who stood up. Lettie gave Mark a big hug. She was wearing a black, sheer blouse and a gray cotton skirt that almost touched the floor. Mark could see her full breasts clearly through the blouse fabric. She was wearing sandals on her feet. Her long black hair fell to the middle of her back.

"Oh, I'm so glad to see you Mark," Lettie exclaimed.

"It's good to see you Lettie," Mark said.

"You must be Mark's friend," Lettie said looking at Amber "I'm Letticia but everybody calls me Lettie. Welcome to our home!"

"Thank you Lettie," Amber replied.

"Where's the baby?" Mark asked.

"In the kitchen with Mom. But she's fast asleep. Hold on a minute and I'll get her."

"Oh, don't wake her up!" Mark said.

"I won't. She's in a rollaway crib. I'll just roll her in. Hold on a sec," she said.

In a few moments she proudly wheeled in the small crib. Amber and Mark peered in the crib and saw the baby. Of course, she had black hair and was the spitting image of Lettie. She slept peacefully.

"She looks so content," Amber remarked.

"She is a good baby. I fed her earlier and now she's set for the night. She won't wake up until tomorrow morning, usually around 6:00 a.m."

"How old is she," Mark asked.

"Seven months," Lettie answered.

Lucinda came out of the kitchen with several bowls of vegetables and set them on the table. She was wearing a light, black robe that was somewhat sheer. It was evident she was not wearing anything underneath. Amber thought to herself that Lucinda believed in dressing comfortable for dinner.

Lydia invited everyone to be seated. She spoke. "We give thanks that we have special guests this evening. We also give thanks for the bounty Mother Nature has given us to partake this evening. We give thanks for this family and may their legacy long endure. May all be tranquil and happy."

Amber was expecting someone to say Amen but no one spoke.

"Lettie, please ladle the soup," Lydia instructed.

Lucinda passed the homemade bread and the freshly churned butter around.
 

The soup was lentil with mushrooms. Mark and Amber thought it was delicious. After soup, vegetables were passed around. There were carrots, green beans, spinach and parsnips. The potatoes were from their root cellar and the vegetables had been canned last fall. No meat at this table. A carafe of red wine was passed around. Mark explained to Amber that the wine was made from grapes grown by the Blackthorns.

"Yes," Lydia offered, we have a neighbor who makes wine and he makes a wonderful batch for us every year with our grapes. This wine was made last year. Not the greatest year because of all the rain we had but it will suffice."

"The wine is delicious," Amber remarked sipping the purple nectar from her crystal wine glass.

Amber looked around and thought the scene was a somewhat surreal. The flickering candles caused shadows the bounce around the room. However, despite the unusual and creepy trappings of the house, these three women were perfectly at comfortable in their surroundings and seemed to be peaceful, happy people.

When dinner was over, they had homemade rhubarb pie. Amber thoroughly enjoyed the dinner.

"Lucinda, please bring in the port," Lydia instructed her daughter. "I think a nice glass of port would be in order this evening."

Lucinda left the table and in a few minutes returned with the bottle of Port. Lettie fetched small port glasses and waited for her mother to fill them. She then placed the glass in front of each person. The port was very special and was the most delicious Mark had ever tasted. He told Amber about it and could see she was excited to taste the exquisite liquid.

"To our guests," Lydia said holding up the glass.

"To our guests," Lucinda and Lettie replied.

Mark and Amber held up their glasses and Amber offered a toast saying, "To our wonderful hosts!" Mark smiled with a hearty "Hear, hear!" Strangely, Amber had never tasted port. She thought the sweet wine tasted delicious but could not tell whether the port was unusually good compared to other ports since this was her first experience with the wine. All she knew was that it tasted good.

Lydia settled back in her chair and gave out a loud, audible sigh. "Well now Mark and Amber, now that dinner is over, we can engage in some stimulating conversation."

Amber kept her eyes trained on Lydia and was enthralled at her demeanor. But the most of all, the way she appeared so young looking. She acted matriarchal but looked almost as young as Lucinda. Lettie, though eighteen or so, had the angelic look of a pre-teen. However, one look at her large breasts full of milk dispelled that notion. Amber wondered what kept them looking so young.

Lydia looked directly at Amber, and said, "My dear, I feel you trying to analyze what makes this family tick."

Amber was embarrassed and amazed at Lydia's perception. It was as if Lydia was reading her mind. She replied, "I am in awe of you all. You seem so happy and content in your environment."

"We are happy and content. This family began with Ira Blackthorn and his wife Lucretia arriving in Boston from England in 1675. They made their way to Vermont which was mostly inhabited by Indians. Vermont wasn't even a state. They had six children, 5 girls. Ira Blackthorn was a physician and treated white men and Indians alike. The Indians traded healing remedies with the Blackthorns and since that time, our family has been involved in herbal cures and medicines. Five generations after Ira and Lucretia arrived in Vermont, the Blackthorns were famous for their remedies. During the Revolutionary War, Blackthorns assisted the cause by traveling with soldiers and applying their healing arts."

Mark and Amber listened with fascination.

Lydia continued. "One distressing event kept re-occurring over and over."

"What would that be?" Mark asked.

"All the husbands of Blackthorn women seemed to die prematurely or leave. This began in the late 1690s. People began suspecting all sorts of things. Word got around that the Blackthorn women were involved in witchcraft! The Salem witch trials were going on in Massachusetts and there was witchcraft hysteria throughout New England. Well, this situation made if practically impossible for a Blackthorn female to find a spouse even though the Blackthorn women were extraordinarily beautiful and desirable. It was decided that the Blackthorns would no longer pursue men for spouses. However, they knew that it was essential to keep reproducing to keep the Blackthorn family going. It was decided that the women would seek an appropriate men to impregnate them so that future generations of Blackthorns would be guaranteed. They had no problem attracting handsome men to carry out the task. Incidentally, the herb to prevent pregnancy dates back to Ira and Lucretia. The herb mixture was given to them by the Indians! The Blackthorn's thrived by selling herbs and were known as healers. They were called on to do everything from delivering babies to setting a broken bone. But the herb to prevent pregnancy was their claim to fame. People would travel for days to get to the Blackthorn home in order to purchase the herb potion. The Blackthorn's have always been financially secure because of the sale of various herbs and medicinal potions."

"That is amazing, Lydia," Mark replied. "Thank you for sharing that with us."

"Amber is wondering how everyone remains so young looking," Lydia said looking at Amber.

Amber just nodded knowing that Lydia penetrated her deepest thoughts and read her mind.

"It has always been a trait in this family. Also, we are strictly vegetarian. We consume no animal fat. We avoid stressful situations, particularly those brought on by situations with men. We commune with Mother Nature completely. We listen to our body. When our body wants to be pleasured, we pleasure it. We have no inhibitions especially when it comes to sex. We feel rather strongly that Mother Nature gave us the ability to enjoy sex. We associate no taboos with sex, Lydia said seriously."

Speaking of sex, do you have any of the potion, Mark?" Lettie blurted out.

"Patience my child," Lydia said in a chastising tone. But she and Lucinda directed their attention to Mark awaiting his response.

Mark looked at the women seated around the table. "Yes, I do."

"Do you have it with you?" Lucinda asked.

"I have it in my pocket," Mark replied.

The three women seemed to relax after finding out Mark had the potion. Amber was quietly taking it all in. Amber had the impression the ladies were quite anxious about the potion.

"Does Amber know about the potion?" Lydia asked.

"Yes, I know about the potion," Amber replied.

"Did Mark try on it on you?" Lydia asked.

Amber hesitated a moment before saying, "Yes, he did."

"What did you think after Mark told you?" Lydia continued.

"All I know is that I love Mark and if it was the potion that brought us together, then so be it," Amber said.

Lydia smiled as if pleased with Amber's response.

"Amber, we are very interested in the medicinal and psychological uses of herbs and plants," Lydia explained. "We do not buy pharmaceuticals such as aspirin and such. I can't remember when anyone in our family has visited a doctor. Whenever we need some sort of remedy for an ailment, we use different herbs. For example, did you know that there are over 100 natural herbs for treating headaches. When Lettie began menstruating, she took an herbal mixture to avoid pregnancy. When we thought she was ready, she stopped taking the herbs and the result is our beautiful Loria. The Blackthorns have been and working with herbs and medicinal plants for generations. We have now become quite high tech and sell them all over the world via the internet. You must go to our web site and look it over. Lettie is our computer expert. As respects the potion Mark possesses, we suspect it is an ancient aphrodisiac that only a few people know how to concoct. Mark has told you that he came by the potion in Bangkok. The Asians work with herbs much better than Europeans or Americans."

"We also use herbs to retain our youth!" Lettie said excitedly. "Don't you think Mother and Grandmother look youthful?"

"Yes, I do," Amber replied. "You look as if you found the fountain of youth!"

"Well, not really. The secret is the herbs. Go to our website and you'll find herbs to keep your beauty," Lucinda chimed in.

Lydia motioned to Lettie to pour another round of port.

"Amber, I am 59 years old and in excellent health. I keep my body in good shape by exercise and eating the right kind of foods. Keeping youthful looking has never been a priority in this family but we seem to possess the genes to keep us looking young," Lydia explained.

Lydia continued. "I no longer ovulate. The notorious change of life has caught up with me. This has affected my libido. My goodness, I remember when I was younger, I wanted to do it everyday!"

Amber listened in utter amazement at what this lady was divulging.

"However, now my libido has diminished much to my dismay. I have taken herbs but I'm not quite satisfied. Mark, your potion was absolutely amazing and effective," Lydia pointed out.

"What type of herbs have you been taking?" asked Amber who was completely fascinated in what Lydia saying.

"Have you heard of Love Potion #9?" she asked.

"I have but never knew what it was," replied Amber.

"Love Potion #9 is a recipe to stimulate a woman's desire for sex. It also enhances the climax. There are several recipes for Love Potion #9," Lydia said. "There is recipe for a woman and one for a man. The one I think that is most effective for the woman is the one that uses 4 ounces of sweet almond oil, 12 drops of cinnamon, 16 drops of clove, five drops of sweet orange and 5 drops of nutmeg. The one for a man is completely different. We sell them both."

"We believe that sex is to be enjoyed," Lucinda chimed in. "Can you think of anything else that is as enjoyable? Mother Nature gave us humans the ability to have sex for pure enjoyment. All other animals have sex for procreation only. The only problem with sex nowadays is that one must be very careful because of disease."

"I love having sex!" Lettie said enthusiastically. "It feels so good. If I can't do it with someone, I do it to myself."

Lucinda and Lydia smiled understandingly at Lettie's impulsive comments.
 

Amber continued to be amazed by everyone's unrestrained and uninhibited comments regarding sex.

"Mark, I want you to know that I have not had sex since I was with you last," Lydia said nonchalantly.

Mark nodded acknowledging Lydia's admission.

"Mark and Amber, do you mind if we partake of the potion?" Lydia asked.

"No, I don't mind," Mark said taking out the vial.

"Do you mind, Amber?" Lydia asked.

"No, I don't," she replied.

"Well, good then. How do we do this Mark? What is the best way?" asked Lydia.

Amber began feeling an excitement she had not felt before. A different kind of excitement that is a prelude to an adventure about to unfold. The scene was surreal. All were seated around the table, in a dimly, candle lit room. The candles were flickering and casting moving shadows on the walls. Mark felt an erection growing in anticipation of what was about to unfold.

"I think the best way if for me to rub the bottom of the vial cork on each port glass."

"Splendid idea!" Lydia remarked. "Lettie, collect everyone's glass and put them in front of Mark." Lettie complied by lining up the women's port glasses in front of Mark.

Mark took the vial from his shirt pocket and turned it upside down, wetting the bottom of the cork. Carefully, he pulled out the cork and rubbed the rim of the first glass. He went through the same routine for each glass. When he was finished, he put the cork back in, and again turned the vial upside down wetting the cork. He removed the cork and licked the bottom of it. "For good measure," Mark said somewhat sheepishly.

Lettie delivered the glasses back to the women.

"Well, cheers!" Lydia exclaimed holding up her glass. She took a sip as the other women returned the toast and sipped from the glass.

"I taste the minty flavor!" Lettie said. "I remember how it tasted the last time. This tastes just the same!"

"So it does, so it does," Lydia said with an air of relief and anticipation.

"Mmm, a nice taste," Lucinda added.

"It does taste somewhat minty doesn't it?" replied Amber.

Lydia took a second and third sip making certain to turn the glass rim each time. She wanted to make certain she was getting the potion.

Amber definitely felt something happening to her. She had been exposed to the potion for the first time since she and Mark made love after the PhD Meeting in Austin. She felt her body was reacting to it to the amazing potion.

Several minutes went by without anyone speaking. Everyone just continued sipping their port and licking their lips. Mark studied each woman and noticed they were beginning to fidget in their chair.

"Lettie," Lydia spoke, "there is a container of capsules on the dresser. Please give it to Mark."

Lettie retrieved the container and gave it Mark. Mark opened the container and recognized the capsules. They were the sexual restorative capsules that would enable him to perform quickly after a climax. Mark put the bottle in his pocket.

Lydia cleared her throat. Mark could see her face becoming flushed. In fact, all the women were becoming somewhat flushed in the face.

"It's been a delightful evening. I'd like to retire now. Mark, I have something to show you that may be of interest to you. Would you join me in my room?" Everyone knew what Lydia wanted to show Mark.

"Lucinda, please show Amber to her room. Lettie, be a good girl and clean up. Amber, it was very nice meeting you. We'll talk some more tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening."

Lettie pouted but understood the pecking order in the family.

Lydia was directing the show and everyone was following her directions without question.

***** Mark followed Lydia up the stairs to her bedroom at the extreme end of the hall. The bedroom interior was the same as when Mark was in it the last time. There was one small table lamp on the nightstand next to her bed. The bed was a large featherbed and several lace covered pillows on it.

"Mark, I've thought about you quite a bit since you and I were together last," Lydia said moving closer to Mark.

"I've thought about you as well, Lydia," Mark replied. "You're a remarkable and very desirable woman."

"Do you really think so?" she asked. "Do you really find me desirable? I'm not as pretty as I used to be you know." Mark detected her vulnerability beneath the aloof veneer.

"I think you're beautiful, Lydia. There is a sensual beauty that you possess that makes me very excited." Mark looked at her and admired her slim body and full breasts. Her face was quite free of lines and she really did look several years younger.

"Come, sit with me on the bed," she instructed. Mark sat next to her. "Your potion works well, Mark. I feel it working. It is a remarkable formula."

"I would hope that I wouldn't need the potion, Lydia."

"Perhaps you don't but I think it's very stimulating to know that you have some sort of potion that enhances ones sex drive. "Are you excited now?" she asked.

"I'm always excited when I'm around you," Mark whispered truthfully.

Lydia moved her hand to Mark's crotch and felt for his manhood.

"You are excited," she said. "I feel you."

"I wouldn't lie to you. Besides, you would know if I were."

"Would you help me undress?" Lydia asked.

"It would be my utmost pleasure to do so."

Lydia turned her back to Mark. "Please unbutton me."

Mark began to unbutton as Lydia took the large hairpin out of her hair. Her long, silver hair fell below her shoulders.

"Undo this confounded bra," she instructed. "I hate these contraptions!"
 

Mark complied and unsnapped the bra clasp. Lydia stood and let the dress fall to the floor. She was wearing a black slip. She pulled the straps down over her shoulders and the garment fell on top of the dress. Turning, she faced Mark. The bra was loose but still in place. She was wearing a black garter belt which held up black hose. She sat back down on the bed, unsnapped the hose fasteners and slowly rolled the hose down each leg. She stood once again and pulled her panties off. Her unshaven pubic area was dark with curly hair. Mark was surprised that her pubic hair was dark and not gray. The ringlets of hair covered a triangle that extended upward toward her belly button and left and right to her thighs. Lydia removed her bra exposing her breasts to Mark. Her small waist and tiny stature accented the size of ample breasts. Again, Mark was amazed at this women's shape. Her tummy not completely flat but firm nonetheless.

Lydia's breasts expectedly sagged but not overly so. The white skin of her breasts was even whiter than her exposed skin. Mark could see the blue veins of the breasts. The dark areolas were the size of silver dollars and were in stark contrast with the paleness of her breast skin. The nipples were erect and protruding from the center of the areola. Mark watched the ageless beauty with fascination and growing excitement.

Lydia pulled back the covers of the bed. "Please take off your clothes Mark, and join me in bed."

Mark complied. He quickly shed his pants and shirt. Lydia could see his erection trying to escape from his jockey shorts. He pulled his shorts down, releasing his rock hard member and got in bed next to Lydia.

****** Amber went to her room with Lucinda. Amber knew that Mark would be giving his attention to these women but nevertheless, it was disconcerting. The potion definitely affected her and she was excited. Amber wasn't sure what her role was in the unfolding scenario but one thing was certain..she was excited and horny.

Lucinda watched Amber admiringly and said, "Amber, you are a beautiful woman. No wonder Mark was attracted to you."

"Thank you Lucinda." Amber walked to the water pitcher on the washstand and poured water in a glass.

"Has the potion made you excited," Lucinda asked.

Amber wasn't sure how she should answer but decided to be honest.

"Yes, it has. The potion does work, I'll it give it that."

"I'm excited as well," Lucinda admitted. Several seconds went by without either woman saying anything. Finally, Lucinda spoke. "I don't want to be rude or make you uncomfortable but have you ever been with another woman? I mean, with a women sexually?"

"Have you?" Amber asked.

"Yes, I have. Several times. There is a woman who visits me at the book store. She always visits me around closing time. When she does that, I know what she wants. I like being with a woman. You never need to worry about a woman cumming to fast and not being able to finish what they started! They are also nice and soft. No rough beard to irritate. Most of all, women can keep going forever. I like that."
 

"You're right about that," Amber replied smiling.

"Well, have you?" Lucinda repeated.

"No, I have not."

"Would you like to try it?" Lucinda asked apprehensively.

Amber pondered the question for several seconds. She was excited and this beautiful, mysterious woman was very desirable. She wondered what Mark would say if he knew that she made love to a woman.

"I'm not sure," Amber replied softly. "I've never done it before."

"Have you ever thought about it? I mean, have you ever seen a woman who you would like to make love to?" Lucinda asked.

Amber was a very open minded person and she loved experimenting. Austin has a very large gay community and she was acquainted with several lesbians. In fact, several University staff were lesbians. Amber often thought about how it would be to make love to another woman.

Finally, Amber spoke. "I've thought about how it would be but it was just a passing thought. I never really seriously entertained it."

Lucinda slowly walked to Amber and put her arms around her. Amber did not resist. She looked at Lucinda. Their lips were very close. Lucinda kissed Amber gently on the lips and Amber responded. This time Lucinda kissed Amber a bit harder. Amber could feel Lucinda's tongue probing. She opened her mouth and allowed Lucinda to penetrate. Amber's lips closed on Lucinda's tongue and both women engaged in playing with each other's tongue for several seconds.

Lucinda hands were now roaming over Amber's body. Amber wasn't sure if she wanted to continue but could not resist Lucinda's advances. Lucinda's soft hands feeling her body felt extremely erotic. This was a new experience for Amber and she was getting very excited over the prospect of pleasuring and being pleasured by this beautiful, unique woman.

"Come with me to my room in case Mark comes back," Lucinda said.

Amber just nodded and followed Lucinda. For the first time in her life, she was engaging in a sexual encounter with a female. Amber knew she was not a lesbian but could not stop what she was doing and the desire to be with this woman was overwhelming. She felt the wetness between her legs and knew that Lucinda would be as wet as she was. She wanted to feel and taste her.

****** Mark put his arms around Lydia and felt her soft breasts against his chest. Her hand reached down and found his erection and she began gently stroking it. Mark put his lips to Lydia's lips and kissed her. He could taste the minty residue of the potion.

Mark put his hand on Lydia's heavy breast and began stimulating the large, distended nipple. The breast felt soft and warm in his hand. He moved his hand between her legs and felt the profusion of pubic hair. He continued to probe. She was wet which was not unexpected. The potion always made women extremely wet. He inserted his finger and felt her respond. Her breathing was heavy. Mark loved oral sex and wanted to orally pleasure Lydia but remembered that she was not particularly fond of this kind of play.

"You feel good next to me Mark," she remarked. "I would like you in me now, if you would. You feel nice and hard." She continued to stroke Mark with her long fingers.

Mark smiled to himself at the politeness of the woman. Even in her most intimate moments, she carried herself with quiet dignity.

Mark positioned himself on top of her and she spread her legs for him. Mark was turned on by the extraordinary amount of hair she possessed between her legs. This pussy, Mark surmised, had never seen a razor! She reached for his cock and guided him in her. Mark slid in easily. She was nicely lubricated as Mark felt her moisture envelope his cock. He penetrated her deeply.

"Mmm, that feels so good," she said with obvious satisfaction in her voice. Lydia moaned softly as Mark began his in and out motions. Her hands rubbed his back as he made love to the matriarch of the family. Lydia's eyes were closed relishing the enjoyment of sex. She moved her body in concert with his. Her hands roamed over his athletic body enjoying the feel of a man on top of her. Mark did not realize it, but Lydia had climaxed twice already.

"Would you like me to do it from behind?" Mark asked.

"Maybe that would be nice," she replied. Mark rolled off her allowing her to get on her knees. Mark looked at the large breasts suspended from her. He reached under and massaged both breasts getting her ready for rear entry and acceptance of his erect cock.

On his knees, Mark positioned himself behind her and moved in with cock in hand. He put his cock on the magnificently exposed slit between her legs. He moved a little closer and allowed the head of his penis to open the slit and enter slightly. Holding on to her hips he pushed in. He heard her grunt as he penetrated as far as he could.

"Oh yes, that does feel quite good," she said reaching under to rub her clitoris as Mark penetrated.

Mark closed his eyes as he pleasured this mature lady. He wondered what Amber was doing.

******

Lucinda helped Amber take off her shirt and slacks. She stood back and admired Amber's body. Amber was standing there in her panties and bra. She felt wetness between her legs.

"You really are beautiful," Lucinda remarked. "You have a beautiful body."

"Thank you."

Lucinda walked behind Amber, unfastened her bra and turned around so she could see her magnificent chest.

"Ah, no children suckled these beautiful things," Lucinda said feeling Amber's breasts. She bent over and put her mouth on Amber's right nipple and flicked it with her tongue.

"Let's slip these off," Lucinda said pulling Amber's panties down. Amber stepped out of them.

Amber had never been this naked in front of another woman. She was nervous but wanted Lucinda to continue her attentions.

Lucinda quickly unbuttoned her shirt and skirt and tossed the clothes to one side. Moving closer to Amber, put her arm around her and guided her to the bed.

"Now relax. I feel your tenseness. Just relax and allow me to make you feel good," Lucinda instructed.

Amber was trembling.

"Just relax Amber. Trust me," Lucinda reassured her.

Lucinda moved next to Amber on the bed and kissed her gently. Amber could taste the minty taste of the potion on Lucinda's tongue and lips. Lucinda withdrew slightly but Amber pulled her closer and became the aggressor. Amber pressed her mouth on Lucinda's and offered her tongue to Lucinda. Both tongues played with each other. Amber could feel Lucinda's hand going between her legs and she encouraged her exploration by moving closer to Lucinda's naked body. Lucinda's finger found Amber's labia and entered the moistness.

Amber moaned as Lucinda explored her pussy with her finger. Lucinda knew exactly where to rub and Amber was ecstasy.

Lucinda got on her knees between Amber legs and gently opened them wider.

"So beautiful. I want to taste you so much," Lucinda said as she bent down and began kissing Amber's pubic area.

Lucinda's tongue entered the swollen labia and teased Amber's erect clitoris. Amber climaxed the moment Lucinda touched her hot button with her probing tongue.

"This feels so good," Amber moaned loudly. "Please do it more to me!"

Lucinda complied by tonguing the beautiful, dark haired Amber. Again, Amber climaxed. Amber was multi-orgasmic but she never climaxed this quickly before.

Now, Amber was caught up in the moment and she wanted to pleasure Lucinda. It was her turn to reciprocate.

"Let's do it sixty-nine," Amber whispered. Amber loved to do sixty-nine but she had never done it with a woman. Both women laid down on their sides in the classic sixty-nine position.

Lucinda repositioned herself so that Amber would have access to her pussy. Lucinda lifted and spread her legs and Amber, for the first time, orally had sex with a woman.

Amber felt and tasted the extreme wetness of Lucinda. Her tongue entered the soft tissue of the vagina and she tasted the musk of this woman. As Amber tongued the pussy, Lucinda reciprocated on Amber. Never in her life had she felt this hot and erotic. Amber felt that each time she tongued Lucinda, her own pussy reacted to it, particularly with Lucinda's artful licking and sucking. Amber loved men but she thought no man had ever pleasured her the way Lucinda was pleasuring her. She wondered if she could ever enjoy sex with a man again but quickly dispelled the notion.

Lucinda continued to probe Amber with her tongue and as she did, felt Amber's tongue in her. It seemed that Lucinda knew exactly what spots to stimulate and Amber's orgasms were occurring in quick succession. Amber closed her eyes as she gave and received pleasures like she had never known before.

*****

Mark, in the missionary position, looked down at Lydia. Lydia had her eyes closed and a smile on her lips. Her passion was controlled as if she were savoring every moment of Mark's lovemaking. Her hands moved constantly on Mark's body and occasionally he felt her push his buttocks downward toward her as if to encourage deeper penetration.

Mark felt that he was getting close to a climax but wanted to be sure she was ready as well.

"Lydia, are you ready?" he asked.

Lydia opened her eyes slowly and looked at Mark. "Yes, I am. Let's enjoy it together. I can feel you when you're ready. I'll come at the same time."

That was the cue Mark had been waiting for. He began deep thrusting into the remarkable lady. He picked up the thrusting pace and the beginning throes of the impending climax kicked into gear.

"I feel you getting ready," Lydia said. "This is so wonderful Mark!"

Mark put his hands on each side of Lydia and raised himself. He began penetrating and withdrawing faster and faster. Lydia, in perfect harmony, met each thrust with a vigor of a person thoroughly enjoying herself.

The pleasurable pain overtook Mark. Mark's semen shot into Lydia's vagina. The first thrust ejected most of the semen but Mark expelled semen at least four more times. He collapsed lightly on Lydia who rubbed his back and buttocks.

"Mmm, that was good. Perfect timing. I came as you did, Mark," she said. "You're a good maker of love. You have made me feel very good. I'm very grateful. I just don't get to experience this as much any more."

"Lydia, you are a remarkable, beautiful woman. Making love to you is a wonderful, erotic experience."

After several minutes in Lydia's embrace, Mark slowly withdrew his manhood from Lydia's pussy and lay next to Lydia savoring the experience. He wondered what Amber was doing.

***** Amber and Lucinda were lying down on their side facing each other. Both were trying to regain their composure. Their lovemaking was gentle and feminine and they were basking in the afterglow of sexual fulfillment.

"Lucinda, I have never been made love to this way. I mean, I have never experienced such fulfillment. I don't know if it was the potion or you or a combination," Amber quietly confided. "You knew exactly what turned me on. You knew exactly what to do to bring me to new heights of pleasure!"

"I very seldom make love to a woman but I love to do it. Women are so responsive. You were wonderful as well. Do you have any regrets?"

"I'm a little confused right now, but I don't have any regrets," Amber replied.

"Why are you confused?" Lucinda asked.

"Well, I know I'm not a lesbian. I love the attention of men, particularly Mark. But this was absolutely wonderful." Amber said.

"Then, don't be confused. Enjoy women and enjoy men. Don't allow societal taboos to confuse you," Lucinda said. "Mother Nature allows humans to experiment with different ways of fulfillment." Lucinda moved her face toward Amber and kissed her gently.

"I think I better get back to my room," Amber said kissing Lucinda.

Amber got to her room and was not surprised that Mark was absent. In a way she was glad. Without taking her makeup, she put on her nightshirt which was really an oversized tee. She got under the covers and immediately fell asleep but not before wondering where Mark was.

****** Mark kissed Lydia goodbye and started for his room. It had started raining and he heard the rain on the roof. He walked quietly on the threadbare carpet toward his room. With his clothes in hand, he proceeded down the hall.

He was almost to his room when he heard, "Psst, Mark!"

He stopped, turned around and saw Lettie with her head sticking out the door of her bedroom. "Come here," Lettie motioned to him with her hand.

Mark turned and went to Lettie. As he got close to Lettie she grabbed him by the hand and pulled him into her room.

"I'll not be last to have you this time," she exclaimed in a loud whisper. Mark just sighed and allowed himself to be led into her room.
 

Lettie was wearing a very thin, white cotton nightgown. The fabric was almost gauze-like and practically transparent. Her hair was in two pig-tails. She looked younger than her actual age of eighteen.

As soon as Mark entered the room, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hard.

"Your potion has made me very horny!" she declared. "I brought the restoring capsules," she said pointing the container on her dresser.

"Lettie, I'm pretty tired," Mark replied.

"Oh pooh. Just take two capsules and you'll be fine. I'm always last!" she pouted.

Mark sighed again, put his clothes on the chair and walked to dresser. He opened the capsule container and took out two capsules. He popped them in his mouth and drank a half glass of water.

Lettie was smiling and he could not help but smile back at the precocious young beauty.

"You are a bad little girl. You were waiting for me weren't you? Were you listening through the door?" he asked.

"Well, I had to find out when you would be finished with Grandmother," she said. "I knew you wouldn't be too long with her."

"Come here to me, you naughty one," Mark said. Mark noticed the baby sleeping in the far corner room. "Will the baby wake up?"

"No. The baby won't wake up until around six or seven o'clock. She's a good baby."

Mark looked at the young girl with her typical Blackthorn small body and large breasts which were even larger because of nursing the baby. Mark felt his excitement growing as he watched Lettie. Lettie sensed him looking at her.

"Do you like me, Mark?" she asked posing sensually.

"Yes I do Lettie. You're a beautiful young woman," Mark responded.

"I'm always horny but the potion has really made me hot," she said. Mark had to laugh at the way she admitted her desire for sex.

Lettie pulled the nightgown over her head and stood before Mark. She had several candles burning throughout the room and the light accented the beauty of this young maiden. Her breasts were heavy with milk. Lettie looked at Mark's growing erection.

"Oh goodie, you're getting hard. I see you through your shorts. Take them off Mark. Let me see you!" she said.

Mark slipped off his shorts and allowed his cock to spring free. He moved closer to Lettie. He remembered her breasts were quite large, a Blackthorn trait, but now they were massive due to breast feeding. He took them in his hand.

"Your breasts are huge Lettie."

"I know. I think they've doubled in size since the baby was born. Have you ever tasted mother's milk?"

"Not that I can remember. I think I was breast fed as a baby. Maybe that's why I love breasts."

"Come taste. Open your mouth," Lettie instructed.

Lettie squeezed her nipple and squirted a stream of warm milk in Mark's mouth.

"Taste good?" she asked.

"It tastes very good, especially since it's your milk, Lettie," Mark said taking her in his arms. Her breasts pressed to his chest. Mark bent over and kissed her. He picked her up and carried her to her bed. Mark put his lips on the swollen nipple and pulled on the nipple. He tasted Lettie's milk again and this was highly erotic to him. He went to the other nipple and did the same. The milk flowed easily into his mouth.

"Do you like my milk Mark?" she asked.

"I do, Lettie."

"I want to make you feel good now. Let me make you feel good, Mark," Lettie said. "Sit on the edge of the bed."

Mark sat on the edge of the bed while Lettie got off the bed. She stood before him and spread his legs. Lowering herself to the kneeling position, she moved between his legs and began fondling and playing with his cock.

"Mmm, look at it. It's already getting nice and hard and big. I want to make it bigger," she said. She began stroking it.

"I love the taste of a man's organ in my mouth," she said as she bent over and put Mark's cock between her lips.

Lettie expertly began sucking and licking Mark's member. She licked down the shaft to his testicles and began licking the sac while stroking.

"My God, Lettie, that feels good," Mark advised.

Lettie continued her noisy sucking of Mark's cock.

"Mmm. Tastes good," she purred.

After several minutes, Mark said, "Okay. My turn. You sit on the edge now."

"Oh goodie. I like this part," she said. Lettie sat down on the bed and opened her legs. Mark saw that she was unshaven as well but did not have as much pubic hair as her grandmother.

Mark put two fingers on Lettie's labia and felt. "You're wet, Lettie. Very wet."

"I feel wet," she said.

Mark lowered his face to Lettie's pussy. Lettie just plopped back on the bed with her legs hanging over the edge. Mark began kissing the young girl's privates. He noticed the labia were very swollen. With his fingers he opened the slit and saw the clitoris, erect and begging for attention. He put his lips on the sex organ and began sucking. He heard Lettie give out a muffled scream of enjoyment.

"Oh Mark, you do that so good," she exclaimed. "You made me cum!"

Mark continued flicking the sex appendage with his tongue. He spread the lips with his fingers exposing the pink, lubricated skin of the inner labia. Mark observed beads of secretion on the delicate tissue.

"Turn around. Put your hands on the bed," Mark instructed.

Lettie stood on the floor and bent over, putting her hands on the bed. She spread her legs slightly. Mark took his cock and guided it in the young pussy. He pushed all the way in. The cock met no resistance. Mark put each hand on a heavy breast and began fucking young Lettie from behind.

"Mark, I love it when you fuck me this way," she said. "Fuck me hard, Mark. Fuck me hard!"

***** Lucinda got to her room but was not sleepy. The Seth Thomas Nautical Clock on the dresser indicated that it was 1:25 a.m. She enjoyed her encounter with Amber but felt she needed a man to be completely fulfilled. That man would be Mark. She knew the potion had taken full effect and her craving for sex would not be satisfied until Mark visited her. However, she knew that it was not the right time. Lucinda surmised that Mark was with Lydia or Lettie. She would wait her turn. She picked up the antique book on her night stand. The book was printed in 1836 and the title was, Communicating With The Spirit World. She began reading.

***** Mark was on his back on the large feather bed with Lettie sitting on him, and impaled by his cock. Lettie's breasts swayed and bounced as she tried to maneuver on his organ so that she could receive maximum stimulation where she liked it the most. Mark's head was sunk deep in the lacy pillow. He admired her large, lactating breasts and wanted to suck them again. He reached toward her and pulling her down to him so that her breasts were inches from his face. She took one of her breasts in her hand and guided it to Mark's mouth. Mark hungrily took the nipple in his mouth and began sucking until he tasted the milk. Mark thought there was something very erotic about suckling this young girl's breast and tasting milk. Lettie enjoyed having her nipples sucked. After several seconds, she pulled the nipple out of Mark's mouth and put her other one in making certain both would be pleasured equally.

As Mark suckled, Lettie moved her tight, young body up and down on his cock.

"I love this," she exclaimed dreamily. "I love fucking! I could fuck all the time. Doesn't this feel good Mark? This feels so good to me." She continued her rapid up and down movement on Mark's cock.

Now, Lettie wanted a new position. She turned around so that her back was to Mark. She put her hands on Mark's ankles and again moved up and down on Mark's erect organ. Mark watched as his cock buried itself deep into her pussy.

"Do you know that I have cum so many times that I lost count!" she stated. "Don't you wish men could cum like women do!" Mark just grunted as she continued pleasuring herself on his erection.

"Lettie, I think I'd like to cum now myself. How do you want it?" Mark asked.

"Let me get on my tummy," Lettie said. "Fuck me from behind. When I'm on my tummy, I can feel the cock much better."

Lettie got on her stomach and Mark mounted her.

"Mark?" Lettie said.

"Yes Lettie," Mark replied. "What is it?"

"Mark, fuck me very, very fast and hard. Okay?" she asked.

"Okay, Lettie," Mark replied smiling to himself.

"Now Mark. Fuck me really hard now Mark," she exclaimed.

Mark began the strokes slow and deliberate, gradually picking up the pace of the thrusting.

"Faster! Faster!" she yelled.

Mark responded by increasing the tempo. He was getting closer and closer to his climax.

Finally, Mark felt ready to explode. He grabbed on to the young girls hips as he thrust hard and fast. The noise of the two bodies coming together seemed to reverberate throughout the room. Lettie was almost screaming at the top of her lungs for Mark to go faster and faster. Mark was concerned that everyone in the house would hear her.

Mark felt his testicles begin to contract and head of his penis engorge with blood. The first spasm of semen release was a relief to Mark. He thrust with each ejaculation, propelling his jizz into Lettie.

Mark finished and fell down on the bed, exhausted. He felt Lettie take his cock in her hand and try to stroke it back to life.

"No Lettie, I'm finished for now." he declared.

"I can get it up again," she said still stroking it and kissing it. "I like the taste of my pussy on your cock. I can taste me!"

"No, please Lettie. Right now I'm exhausted. I can't go anymore."

"Oh, all right," she said pouting as a small child would. Then she smiled and asked, "Was it good for you, Mark?"

"It was great, Lettie. Just great," Mark whispered. "Now I need to get back to my room and rest."

Mark slowly got out of the bed, put on his shorts, picked up his clothes and headed for his room. He looked both ways in the hallway, saw no one and quickly walked to his room.

***** Amber, being a light sleeper heard the door open. Her eyes opened as she wondered if Mark was returning. She propped herself up on one elbow.

"Is that you Mark?" she asked.

"Yes, it's me," he answered.

"Are you all right?" she asked.

"I'm fine. How about you?" Mark said as he put his clothes down and got in bed with Amber.

"I'll tell you about it in the morning. Right now, I'm glad you here with me," she replied softly.

Mark took Amber in his arms. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked.

"I'm okay. Just a little confused."

"Confused about what?"

"Let's talk about in the morning, okay?"

"Okay, darling," Mark said.

Amber snuggled closer to Mark. Now feeling secure, she allowed herself to fall asleep in his arms. Mark was fast asleep in less than two minutes.

***** Mark opened his eyes and saw streams of light filtering through the drapes in the room. He looked at his wristwatch. It was 8:30 a.m. Amber was still asleep. He needed to relieve himself quite badly. He quietly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. He positioned himself over the toilet, lifted the heavy wooden seat and began relieving himself. When he finished, remembered to place the seat back down on the toilet. He walked to the mirror and looked at himself. He put his hand to his face feeling the one day growth of beard. He decided to go back and get his shaving kit. When he got back to the room, Amber was sitting up in bed. She looked quite beautiful to him.

"Hi. I wondered where you went," Amber said.

"Just to the bathroom. I came back to get my shaving kit," Mark replied. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she replied smiling weakly.

Mark sat down on the bed next to her. "Are you sure? Did something happen last night?"

"Yes. I'll tell you about it later. Why don't you go shave and I'll get ready. But right now, I've got to tinkle. Let's go to the bathroom," she said jumping out bed. Mark looked at her admiringly in her tee shirt. The garment barely covered her bottom. Even without makeup, she looked beautiful to him. Mark picked up his kit and they scampered to the bathroom.

Amber sat down on the toilet and relieved herself. Mark began shaving his one day stubble.

"I'll meet you back in the room," Amber said. "I'm hungry!"

"Me too," Mark said. "I'm famished."

Amber went back to her room and began making herself presentable. She poured water from a pitcher into the old-fashioned ceramic wash basin on the dresser and washed her face. She patted herself dry with the hand towel that was neatly folded next to the basin. She then put on some fresh makeup and a hint of lipstick. A few minutes later, Mark came back to room cleanly shaved. She smelled his shaving lotion and smiled to herself. She loved the way Mark smelled after he shaved and put on shaving lotion. Mark went to the armoire, picked out a clean pair of khakis and put them on. He was bare-chested and Amber admired his physique. Amber was relieved that she was still attracted to men, particularly Mark. There was knocking at the door. Mark and Amber looked toward the door.

Mark walked to the door and opened it. It was Lucinda.

"Good morning," she said cheerfully. "I thought you'd like to eat in your room." Lucinda was carrying a tray of fresh orange juice, hot coffee and freshly baked scones.

"Mmm, this looks great," Mark responded as Lucinda walked in with the tray and placed it on the table. Lucinda was wearing a sheer black robe that left nothing to one's imagination.

"You are a lifesaver Lucinda," Amber said looking at the tray. "This looks scrumptious!"

"Well, enjoy and I'll see you later," Lucinda. Mark wondered why Lucinda wasn't at her book store.

Mark and Amber sat down at the table and enjoyed their breakfast and wondered what events would unfold next while they were visiting this very unusual family. Amber took a big drink of the delicious, fresh squeezed orange juice. When she put the glass down, she ran her tongue over her lips and swore she tasted a hint of mint.

***** Unknown to Amber and Mark, Lucinda had visited their bedroom in the early morning hours. Lucinda was still feeling the effect of the potion and needed the attentions of Mark. She quietly entered the room and found both Mark and Amber in a deep sleep and knew that her timing was not good. She saw Mark's clothing on the chair and knew he had the potion in his shirt pocket. She glanced toward the bed and heard the couple's heavy breathing. She reached in his shirt and removed the vial from the shirt pocket. She shook the vial making certain the bottom of the cork was moistened with the potion. Removing the cork, she rubbed the cork on the end of her first and index finger. She carefully put the cork back in the vial and put it back in the shirt pocket. She now had a plan.

Lucinda quietly exited the bedroom and hurried to the kitchen. She selected two glasses she would use for the juice. She rubbed the tips of her fingers around the rim of both glasses, covered the glasses with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. Later in the morning, she would use these glasses for juice and carry them to Mark's room. It did not matter what glass Amber drank out of. She would get a taste of the powerful potion no matter what. Lucinda went back to her room to get a few hours sleep.

***** "Did you put any potion on the orange juice glass?" Amber asked.

"No, but I tasted a bit a mint on my glass as well," Mark answered.

"I wonder if Lucinda did it," Amber asked with a quizzical look.

"I don't see how she could have," Mark said. Then he remembered he had the vial in his shirt pocket. He walked to his clothes and picked up the shirt and reached in the pocket. The vial was still there. "Well, the vial is here."

"Hmm, strange," Amber said. "I wonder if she could have sneaked into our room and took some of the potion?"

"I suppose it's possible. We were both sleeping soundly. Do you feel any different?"

"As a matter of fact, I do," Amber said smiling slyly. "I don't know if it's the potion, but I have an overwhelming desire to fuck my man!"

I just love it when you talk dirty. Just maybe, I can accommodate you," Mark replied with a big grin. "Let me take a couple of the Blackthorn capsules first."

Mark took off his khakis, put them on a hanger and hung them back in the amoire. He slipped off his shorts. Amber was lying on the bed, still in her tee shirt. The shirt had shifted up and Mark saw that Amber was not wearing panties. His cock began getting erect. He bounded across the room and plopped in bed next to Amber. Amber began kissing him passionately while Mark's hands roamed under her tee shirt and felt her beautiful breasts. Mark could feel Amber's nipples instantly respond to his touch. Mark felt that Amber's entire body was radiating heat.

Mark's hands went between Amber's legs and immediately he felt the growing wetness. Wh his finger he began probing the Amber's sex pot. Amber kissed Mark hard as she felt his finger's enter her. She knew the potion had taken hold and there was no going back now. She needed him inside of her. Mark pushed her tee shirt all the way up exposing her breasts. He then began to kiss her breasts.

"May I join you?" they heard the voice say.

The couple stopped what they were doing and looked toward the voice. Lucinda standing at the foot of the bed.

"I came to check to see if you needed more coffee. I'm sorry I didn't knock," Lucinda declared. Her nightgown was partially open and Mark could see her white skin and the fullness of her breasts.

Mark looked at Amber for her response. The potion had taken full effect and it was apparent Amber just wanted to satisfy her craving for sexual fulfillment.

Not waiting for a response, Lucinda got in the bed with Mark and Amber. She let the nightgown fall off her shoulders. She began rubbing Amber's shoulders. Mark pulled Lucinda closer to them.

Amber looked at Lucinda with bleary eyes then returned her affections for Mark. She bent over and resumed kissing Mark. Lucinda hand's gravitated to Mark's cock. Lucinda felt excitement growing inside of her as her hand wrapped around the erect organ. She wanted Mark's cock inside of her very badly. She began to stroke his cock while Amber kissed her man.

Lucinda moved down to Mark's cock. It was fully erect and rock hard. Lucinda marveled at the hardness of the organ and the softness of the skin. She opened her mouth and put it over the cock. It felt so satisfying to her having a man's cock in her mouth. Hungrily, she began licking and sucking Mark's cock and balls. She licked below his balls and stuck her tongue in Mark's anus. She felt Mark respond when she did this.

"Sit on my chest, Amber," Mark instructed.

Amber complied. Mark reached up and began playing with her breasts and in particular, her nipples while Lucinda sucked his cock. Mark put his hands around Amber's behind and pulled her closer to his face.

"Squat over me, Amber," Mark said.

Amber moved closer and lifted herself in a squatting position over Mark's face. She slowly lowered herself on Mark's mouth.

Amber gasped as Mark began to lick her pussy. She felt his tongue penetrate and relished having oral sex performed on her. She reached down and with both hands spread her labia, exposing her clit. Again, she lowered on his face. Mark sensing what she wanted, took the clit between his lips. She shuddered as Mark began licking and sucking the sex button.

Lucinda wanted Mark in her. She positioned herself over Mark's cock and with her hands on Amber's shoulders, lowered herself on Mark's sex organ.

"Ooh, that's what I've been waiting for," Lucinda thought to herself as the cock slid deeply in the wetness. Lucinda overwhelming desire to be satisfied. There was only one way to satisfy this urge and that way was for a cock to be in her. She moved forward so that the organ would rub against her clit. She was controlling the action and she liked that.

Mark now had two women sitting on him. Amber felt Lucinda's breasts against her back.

Lucinda kissed the back of Amber's neck. After a few minutes, Lucinda took Amber by the shoulders. "Turn around toward me," Lucinda told Amber. Amber complied.

Lucinda slowly moved up and down on Mark's cock as she took Amber's face in her hands and began kissing her. Amber did not resist. In fact, she responded enthusiastically by kissing Lucinda in return. Amber bent over and began kissing Lucinda's breasts.

Lucinda continued to satisfy herself on Mark's cock until she climaxed twice. Amber now wanted to mount Mark. Reluctantly, Lucinda lifted herself off Mark. Amber occupied the vacated position and began to ride her man's cock.

Lucinda lay on her back awaiting her turn. While she waited, she excited her clit by rubbing the tip of her finger on it. She grew excited watching Amber being fucked by Mark. She watched as Mark's organ penetrated in and out of her. Lucinda lay patiently on the bed playing with herself.

Amber decided to get off Mark and move toward Lucinda. She squatted over Lucinda, lowered herself and pushed her pussy into Lucinda's face hard. Lucinda tasted Amber's delicious juices and began probing with her tongue. In the meantime, Mark positioned himself between Lucinda's legs, spread them and inserted his cock. He heard Lucinda's muffled moan as the organ pressed in to its fullest penetration.

Mark did not want to prolong this lovemaking session. His pace of thrusting into Lucinda quickened. He thrust deeply and felt her tighten around his shaft. Faster and faster he thrust . He knew that Lucinda had climaxed. He wanted to expend his sperm in Amber.

"Amber, get on your back quickly!" Mark said. Amber was being highly satisfied by Lucinda's licking and tonguing. However, she complied with Mark's request. Mark quickly entered Amber and began the furious stroking that would lead to his climax. Finally, with a shudder, he exploded his cum into Amber. He kept his cock in until he felt it becoming soft.

Mark withdrew his cock. "That's it. I can't go anymore," he said as he rolled on his back. All three people lay quietly with their eyes closed. Finally, Lucinda snapped opened her eyes.

"Well, that was good," she said matter-of-factly as if what they had done was the most natural thing in the world. She jumped out of bed. "I've got to get down to the store. When are you leaving?" she asked.

Amber replied. "We're leaving this afternoon. We have some things to do in Boston," she lied. Mark looked at Amber and understood. Mark wanted to leave before one of the women made him perform once again.

***** They were waiting for their flight at Logan Airport. On the way to Logan, Amber told Mark what had occurred between her and Lucinda. Mark was very understanding and said it was the potion. Amber wasn't sure if her encounter with Lucinda was totally because of the potion, but she left it at that. There was one thing they were in complete agreement on. The Blackthorn family was the most unusual family they had ever encountered.

Amber was glad that she had Mark all to herself again and knew that his love potion would not be needed with her. She knew that she was now part of his life and wondered what the next adventure would be.

To be continued.
