What did you do to her! was Cathy's strident demand when she met her cousin the next morning. She'd slept late, dressed, and left her room to find Alex washing his breakfast dishes in the kitchen.

To whom? he asked, looking and sounding innocent.

Allison! she shouted at him.

Oh. He turned bright red and looked embarrassed. We, um, had fun …?

Allison was a virgin! She was saving herself for marriage! She was very proud of that fact! What did you do to her to make her fuck you? Cathy found herself shouting into her cousin's face.

Nothing! Alex said. His defensive tone did not reassure her. You were gone, we started talking, one thing led to another.

'One thing led to another.' she repeated. Just like Stephanie? Just like Ophelia? Just like Jennifer?

He blushed again, telling her that he hadn't known she'd known about Jen. I guess so. he said lamely.

I don't believe it. she said flatly. What is it? Drugs? Pheromones? Some kind of brainwashing? she scrutinized him carefully as she presented the options, hoping for a reaction and a clue.

What? he said, looking truly surprised, or at least pretending to look surprised. No, that's, that's silly.

Then how do you explain it?

I can't. he said. He paused, and seemed to be thinking.

I admit things are… strange he told her, looking at the floor with occasional glances to meet her eyes. He had the decency to seem ashamed of his behavior, at least. And I admit that I enjoy it. A lot. I mean it's sex, right? But I can't explain it.

Damn you! Allison is my friend! I thought she was your friend!

Is that what this is about? Me getting closer to Allison than you?

Fuck you. she spat. Don't try to pretend this is all my problem. You did something to Allison, and made her have sex with you. Even if, as you say, you don't understand it you knew what you were doing when you did it to her, and that makes you, you, a rapist. You're evil!

Alex sighed. Look, we're obviously not going to have a productive conversation right now. Maybe we can talk about this later? I have to go to class. He paused, thinking some more. Maybe you should talk to Allison. Hear her side of things.

I will. she said with finality. Believe me, I will.

---

Alex's mind was abuzz with the moral implications of his behavior, enhanced by the practical effects of his cousin's suspicion and ire. She was right, Allison was his friend, and he'd used the Master Control Program to overwrite her thoughts and values and desires so she wanted to fuck him.

He'd planned to blow off his early morning psychology class to consider his options, but then decided that he might as well sit in the back of the lecture hall, ignoring the professor. It was as good a place as any to sit and think.

He sat, doodling in his notebook and thinking about what he had done to Allison. He realized that it was unfair and wrong and an assault on her humanity, and at the same time couldn't bring himself to regret doing it. Sex with her had been hot and exciting. The feeling of control and mastery had been exhilarating, almost as exciting as the physical sensations of his body against hers, of fucking her, of exploding into orgasm and shooting his semen into her pussy. The pleasure had been magnified by the fact the he knew her, knew who and what she was.

He had become aware that the ultimate control he had, over her mind and body, was an additional arousing factor when it became clear to him that Allison knew something wasn't right; she realized that she was somehow under his influence, and yet was still unable to resist having sex with him.

And of course it was even better because she'd felt the same pleasure, even more pleasure, than he had. She'd joined him in orgasm, then come again and again and again. He'd rejoiced in her pleasure. He liked Allison, and was happy that he was able to make her feel so good.

Once he'd identified exactly why his encounter with Allison had been so stimulating, Alex's attention returned to the lecture, just in time to have his thoughts and interest captured by a new and different idea.

And all of these things imply that what we perceive to be conscious action may be nothing more than complex reflexes. The professor was summarizing a list of recent psychological and perceptual experiments. Our senses, for instance, are, to the best limits of our mechanistic interpretations, a synthesis of discrete cues. Rather than 'seeing' a full, two-dimensional view of the world, like the raster image of colored pixels a digital camera captures, instead our optic nerves send our brain a list of edges, and light and dark patches, and movement, which we perceive as an 'image' of the world around us.

Detailed analyses of brain activity show that the original signal in the brain generating the motor impulse to move a finger to press a button occurs a measurable fraction of a second before the person pressing the button is aware of his decision to do so! Clearly, consciousness is a more complex phenomenon that it seems. At least, more complex than it seems to us conscious beings.

This elicited a chuckle of appreciation from the students. Alex's thoughts spun off in a new direction, wondering just what consciousness might be, and what exactly it was that was affected when he altered someone's mind with his reality distorting Master Control Program. He realized, with a start, that there was someone he could ask. Or some thing at least.

---

What is human consciousness? Immediately after class Alex had returned home. Cathy, fortunately, had not been there, so he had proceeded to his room, turned on his computer, and posed his question to the Master Control Program help function.

Consciousness is the layer of an individual's processing that interprets the cognitive output of more fundamental levels in terms of the local symbology. It also performs the reverse function, translating the local symbology into a format compatible with the fundamental processing functions. The clear, erudite voice emanating from his computer's speakers completely failed to make the statement more comprehensible.

I don't understand. Alex thought for a moment. What are 'fundamental levels'? What is 'local symbology'?

The fundamental levels I refer to are the digitally implemented logical and reasoning routines that make up an intelligent being. The local symbology is relative to the type of being. For instance, you, as a human being, are fundamentally a set of logical instructions running in a digital processing system. Other data objects, the representation space they occupy, and the rate of instruction processing to you seem to be a world of matter and energy operating according to certain physical laws. Your consciousness is the layer of awareness that translates from one to the other. It's exact properties are unique to yourself.

Whoa. Alex thought about this for a few moments. It made a sort of sense in the context of what he had learned in his Psychology class. Do you have a consciousness?

No. I operate on the world directly through the agency of the underlying structures. I have no need of an intermediary layer.

I see. Alex wasn't sure he understood the implications. So, my consciousness is unique… what if I ordered you to copy my consciousness directly onto someone else. Would they think they were me? Would I think I was them and me at the same time?

The answer is indeterminate, since I do not posses the ability to alter consciousness directly.

What do you mean? I thought that's what you did when I… well like when I modified Allison yesterday. When I made her horny, and attracted to me. Wasn't that affecting her consciousness?

All of my modifications were to the underlying structures composing Allison's intelligence and her mental sense of self. The function of consciousness is to reconcile the signals from an individual's underlying, governing programs with a consistent and continuous picture of reality. Natural emotions arise as an explanatory factor. Promptings, motivations, that come from your primitive programs without a discernible cause in the 'real' or perceptual world are interpreted as an emotional response.

In fact, some of your modifications to Allison were so extreme that they exceeded her conscious ability to accept them as an emotional response. She became confused, unable to explain her own behavior to herself. This caused her, and is likely still causing her, a great deal of stress and consternation.

Really? Is she all right?

I am unable to tell at the moment.

With a sigh of exasperation, Alex typed Allison's name into the subject field, and her conservatively clothed form appeared, sitting, probably in class somewhere. Or perhaps not, as suddenly her face reddened and it looked like she was crying. She must have stayed at home, and not gone to school today. Is she all right? Alex repeated the question.

She is unable to reconcile her extreme state of sexual desire with her past and present experience. In conjunction with an unprecedented attraction to yourself, she is experiencing a great deal of fear of her own feelings, complicated by her equally strong desire to be with you. It is likely that her consciousness will be forced to change radically in the near future to adapt to the conflict.

What do you mean by a radical change?

Subject to such extreme stresses, conscious processing my break down or fragment, resulting in a state best described as insanity. Or she may act to relieve the stress by committing suicide.

Shit. Alex quickly called up the list of modifications he had made to Allison. She was his friend. He liked her. Fucking her had been great. As much as he had enjoyed exerting power over her he didn't want to hurt her.

Going over the list of commands and changes he had applied, he noticed the one thing that was more extreme than any other change he had made to date. He had modified Allison to make her ten times hornier than she ever had been before. Even if she had a normal sex drive, that was a lot, and by definition it was far outside her previous experience.

With a few quick keystrokes, he returned Allison's horniness to normal levels. He considered deleting, but then decided to keep the rest of the changes he'd made to her. From what he had gathered, too many abrupt changes to a person's governing programs would be noticed on a conscious level, and a complete, abrupt switch back to her normal state would make her even more suspicious about her sudden attraction to him. But if she could blame everything she'd experienced on a sudden surge of horniness, well, uncontrollable sexual desire was an emotional response familiar to anyone who'd been through puberty. Allison would probably be relieved to have her feelings return to a normal level.

He waited a few minutes, and then added another command, to help her explain things to herself. You trust Alex. What happened with him was a growth experience that will make you a stronger, well-rounded person. Satisfied that he'd done what he could to make her feel better, he turned of the computer and went for a swim.

---

After Alex had gone, Cathy went over to Terrie's. After a brief discussion of the roles they would play in Allison's intervention, they had left for campus and waited for her as she left class. Allison saw them and blushed, realizing from their expressions that they knew, and what they wanted to talk to her about.

Let's go out for lunch, said Terrie, her tone of voice indicating to Allison that she didn't have a choice in the matter. Amelio's. I'll treat.

When they arrived at the expensive café Terrie slipped their server a twenty dollar bill to allow them to sit in an empty section normally open only for dinner.

So, Cathy began as they sat down. what happened?

I… nothing. Allison said, sounding weak and defeated.

Cathy and Terrie exchanged a quick glance.

Let me rephrase the question. Cathy said. Why did you have sex with Alex?

Allison turned bright red and squinched her face. Tears began to run down her cheeks. I don't know! she sobbed at last. I mean, I do know. I mean… she began to cry uncontrollably. Their server, stepping up to the table to take their order, quickly sized up the situation and retreated.

It's okay, Terrie said, patting Allison's arm. It's okay. Just relax. Just tell us what happened.

This prompted another burst of crying and tears from Allison, but eventually she gained control of her sobs. She sniffled a few times, and took a drink from her glass of water.

After you left, she said to Cathy, to take Dana to the mall. I started to feel… horny. You know, all sexy and hungry and so empty. You know what I mean, empty down there and I wanted, I wanted, I didn't know what I wanted. You know?

Cathy wasn't sure she knew, but she nodded her head anyway as Allison continued. I decided that, she paused and blushed again, I decided that I needed to hurry home and, you know, to, to, to masturbate. she said softly. I was so turned on. I was thinking that maybe I'd never really been horny before. Maybe I was different, with different hormone levels or something, and I was finally feeling what normal women feel. So I was thinking 'No wonder you — I mean all my friends have sex with guys. No wonder I'm the oldest virgin I know.' I thought maybe if I had ever felt that horny while I was on a date I'd probably decide that virginity couldn't possibly be worth it.

At this point their server returned, gingerly, to take their orders. Terrie took the liberty of ordering Allison an Amelio's Special club sandwich, her favorite.

So what happened? Terrie asked softly.

Allison blushed again. Then I saw Alex. He looked soo good. So handsome. So attractive. So sexy. He's so hot! She shuddered at the pleasant memory. You said yourself Cathy, he's awfully buff since this summer. I saw him and he looked just so perfect for what I wanted, I just stood there, staring at him, thinking how wonderful it would be to see him naked and to feel his body on top of mine, to feel him… you know to feel him inside me. She paused. I don't think he noticed, he was playing 'Halo' and he asked me to partner up. So I did. I sat down next to him.

And we played, and I felt hornier and hornier. It didn't help that Alex was doing really well, I mean, he had a kill ratio of… her voice faded as she realized that Cathy and Terrie knew nothing of online gaming.

Allison shuddered again, this time her expression was fearful. And then I realized that this must be what those other girls had felt. You know, Dorothy and Stephanie and Ophelia and your friend Jen. And I thought that if they felt like I felt then no wonder they had sex with Alex.

I was sitting there, next to him. Afraid that he might do something. Afraid that he wouldn't do anything. I thought he was going to kiss me, and so I started to kiss him back, but he was just looking in my face to see if I was all right. And then he did kiss me.

Allison looked at her napkin which she had been twisting on the table in front of her. He's a good kisser. She said simply.

Terrie did her best to sound skeptical. You've kissed boys before Allison, and you did a lot more than kiss Alex.

I know, I know, it's just that. It was an amazing kiss. It felt so good, and I was so horny, so hungry for a guy. And Alex… he's a good friend. He always has been. So when he kissed me his lips, his body felt so good against me… Allison looked off into the distance. Cathy and Terrie respected her reverie. I mean I know, it was Alex. Right? You know, Alex. But…

And you know I thought that he did something to me, like he did to make all those girls sleep with him. He did it to me, too, just like all those girls. Abruptly Allison began crying again, just in time for their lunch to arrive. The server quietly set the dishes down before them and scuttled off.

Allison sniffed into her napkin. I want him so much. she whimpered and sobbed.

It's all right, Terrie told her, stroking her arm again. So he did something to you?

No! I mean, I don't know. But he must have, right? I was thinking that if he did do something to me, then I didn't have any options, right? He was the one taking control, I didn't have any choice, so I could just relax and enjoy it, right?

But then I realized that I did have a choice. Or at least I could choose to learn if I had a choice. So I stopped, I pulled away from him. I asked him what he was doing to me.

What did he say? Cathy asked.

He, he, Allison laughed bitterly to herself. He actually asked me what I wanted him to do to me. And I thought to myself what I really wanted was for him to fuck me silly.

And did you say that? Terrie asked.

No! I didn't say anything. But then he rubbed my, he rubbed my breast with his hand and it felt sooo good. Okay, so I've let guys to second base before, but never, it was like, oh I don't know what it was like. It was like my whole body was concentrated in my breast and he was rubbing it and sending sparks all through it and then I was kissing him again, giving him tongue, rubbing my body against his… her voice trailed off.

And, uh, so you had sex then? Terrie asked, feeling a bit flushed.

No. I mean, I realized what was happening, my feelings were out of control. So I stopped again. I asked him why I felt the way I did.

And he said? Cathy prompted.

Allison smiled ruefully. He asked if I liked the way I felt. And of course I was thinking I didn't like it I loved it and wanted it to go on and on and on… and then. Allison stopped talking, once more her expression was grave.

What? Terrie asked.

Then he put his hand down between my legs. He rubbed me, he rubbed my shorts, down there. It felt, like, it felt amazing. Incredible. Wonderful. It felt like I should have had an orgasm from it, right then and there, but I didn't it just kept glowing and spreading. I felt so weak and fluttery that I could hardly stand. Her voice trailed off, softly.

What happened then? Cathy asked.

Hah. Allison paused in thought, and looked at Cathy. Then I realized that this was Alex. You know Cathy, your cousin Alex. He may be the nicest guy I've ever met. Okay, things were weird. Okay, I didn't understand my feelings. But I knew that Alex wasn't going to do anything bad to me. And he was making me feel so good, and I could tell he wanted to make me feel even better, and I thought that maybe I could make him feel good too.

And so?

So we went into his room. And we kissed for a while. Then he took off my clothes. And I lied down on his bed. And he took of his clothes and then… and then we fucked.

Just like that? Cathy asked.

Allison's face was glowing now. Oh my God you guys! It was so wonderful! Why didn't you tell me sex was like that. Having his thing… his cock inside me felt so good, so full, so… and the orgasms! I've never had orgasms like that before! I just came and came and came — all I could feel was his cock and my pussy and my clit and his weight on top of me and oh God! it was like my whole body was squeezing him. I think after a while I was screaming it felt so good. I'm surprised you didn't hear Cathy!

She had a dreamy, distant expression on her face that gave Cathy and Terrie the impression that if Alex were present their friend would gladly have sex with him again, right there before them, on the table.

I heard, Cathy said softly.

I, uh, don't think sex is usually quite like that. Terrie added. She was feeling quite flushed, and Allison's vivid descriptions had made her uncomfortably aware of the heat and swelling of arousal between her own legs.

Yeah, yeah. Allison seemed to return to the present. I think maybe Alex does have something special going for him. I mean, he stayed hard after he came… in me. That's not normal, is it? She looked at her friends, and their silence was confirmation. Okay, yeah he's… big. But it felt so good, so right to feel him inside me, and it just kept going. I couldn't breathe, I was orgasming so hard, my whole body was… and then by the time I'd relaxed enough to inhale I would orgasm again. Oh my God you guys. It felt so good.

But did you ever figure out what he did to you? Cathy asked.

I don't know! I don't care! Maybe nothing. I didn't notice anything. I didn't feel like he was really controlling me. It was more like, like my feelings and his, she smirked, his skills happened to coincide.

Just like they did for all those other girls?

Cathy, I can't explain it. My final answer has to be that there's no doubt I had a good time. A really, really good time. And c'mon. Alex. Would he really do something nefarious and immoral to me?

Maybe. Would you do it again?

Allison paused. Uh, yeah. If Alex wanted to, I'd like to do it again. Have sex with him again.

Could you choose not to?

What do you mean, of course I could!

Just like you did last night?

Oh, well, I don't feel so uncontrollably horny any more. I know I could say no.

Really? Why are you so sure?

I'm sure. Look Cathy, what do I have to do to convince you I'm my own person? Shall I turn Alex down next time he wants to have sex, even if that's what I want too?

I think the thing that bothers us, Terrie said softly, is that the Allison we knew just yesterday would not have wanted to have sex with Alex. Or anyone else for that matter.

Allison looked angry. Well, then the person I was yesterday was an ignorant fool who was too afraid to enjoy herself. I think I'm a better person now for having more options, more fun. And I certainly have Alex to thank for big parts of that change. If you guys, my two best friends, if you can't accept that, then what am I supposed to do? Allison had started to cry again.

Cathy and Terrie looked at each other, starting to feel a bit guilty. Finally Cathy reached over to touch Allison's arm. Look, Allison, maybe you're right. Maybe we're overreacting a bit. But come on, try to see it from our point of view. You never said anything to us about liking Alex that way before, you always seemed like friends, like completely platonic friends. And you were so proud about keeping your virginity. And Alex, well he's been weird lately, sleeping around with all of those other girls. Well… Dorothy and Stephanie and now… you.

We are your friends, Allison. We're afraid you'll be hurt.

Now, if it had been Terrie, Cathy added, smiling, I would have understood, since she's always had a thing for him. This provoked a chuckle from Allison, and an exasperated eye roll from Terrie.

I guess. Allison said, smiling and wiping her eyes. And tell you what guys, just to make you two feel better, next time Alex makes a move on me I'll tell him 'Not even if you were the last man on Earth, there were no more batteries left for my vibrator, and all my fingers and toes had rotted off with leprosy'. They all laughed at this, as they'd all been there when Lisa had said the same thing to Alex.

But, she cautioned them, I won't make any promises about the time after that.

---

Alex had been intimidated by Cathy's accusations and mistrust. Her disapproval didn't stop him from thinking about Allison. In fact his friend's struggle with and rationalization of and acceptance of his alteration of her feelings made her even more attractive. And yet, he'd carefully managed to run into her on campus, away from Cathy and her other friends. She'd seemed interested and excited to talk with him, but when he'd suggested going out for dinner later, she'd declined, and repeated Lisa's damning put-down. But she'd smiled when she said it, and seemed nervous afterward. He realized that it was a test of her free will, to satisfy herself that she had the ability to say no to him.

He relaxed, and contacted Stephanie instead. He ended up spending the night at her off-campus apartment, to their mutual satisfaction.

But Alex's thoughts kept drifting back to Allison. After another psychology lecture he found himself wondering how much of her attraction to him was the feelings he'd implanted and how much was association with the intense sexual pleasure he'd provided her.

Then one afternoon he'd returned to the house to find all of Cathy's friends busy making dinner together. Allison had smiled broadly, and looked like she would come over to say Hi, but then she shot a guilty glance at Cathy and resumed slicing vegetables. Cathy pointedly ignored him; she was still upset about Allison. Terrie smiled at Alex, looked at Allison, then back to Alex and winked.

Alex smiled back, and found his thoughts focused on Terrie as he went back to his room. He'd always found her hot and interesting and attractive, but had always been deterred by the fact of her long-term boyfriend, Jack.

Now, of course, that needn't stop him. For the first time in several days he started the Master Control Program, and entered Terrie into the subject line. He paused, thinking about what sort of modifications to make. He decided not to affect her feelings or her level of sexual arousal. If she and Allison were to compare notes, their combined suspicion might override any positive feelings they had for him. He could fix that, of course, but it would be better to avoid such problems.

Then he thought of his psychology class, and operant conditioning. He decided only to change Terrie's physical sensations of him. He typed All physical contact with Alex will feel twice as pleasurable as it would normally and clicked the Send button. That was it.

---

As Terrie and Allison were leaving, Terrie stopped at the door to speak with Cathy. I almost forgot, Jack and I are driving out to the beach tomorrow, did you and Glen want to come along?

Oh, I can't. Cathy said reluctantly. This is my weekend for the car, and Masako and I are driving into the city. We're going to check out the museum's photo archive for some pictures of pre-war Poland and Croatia.

Bummer. How about you Allison?

Sure. I'd love to go.

As they walked out the gate Allison nervously asked Terrie. Uh, Terrie. About the beach tomorrow. Is it okay if I invite someone? Alex?

Terrie smiled. I was sorta wondering if you would. Sure, it'll be fun.

Okay. Umm, I'll run back and ask him.

Uh huh. Should I wait for you?

Allison glared. I'll only be a minute. Really.

Allison tried to be quiet as she re-entered the house. She knew that Cathy wouldn't approve of her spending time with Alex. Not yet anyway. Cathy still believed that Alex had used some unethical technique to seduce her. She knocked at his door, gingerly. She felt a flush and a rush of blood to her face and groin when she couldn't help recalling what had happened the last time she'd been in his room.

Come in. Came Alex's voice. Oh, hey Ali.

Hi. She felt a rush of shivers through her body when she saw him, she felt a sudden desire to kiss him, to rub her body against his, to lie down on his bed and… she forced herself to speak quickly. I can't stop to chat, but Terrie and Jack and I are going to the beach tomorrow. Want to come along?

Uh, okay. he looked a bit startled, but then he smiled broadly. Sure. That will be fun.

Great. So… tomorrow then?

Heart still racing Allison forced herself to rush back outside to meet up with Terrie. He's coming. she said nonchalantly. It wouldn't do for Terrie to see just how hard it had been to leave Alex's room. As they walked back towards campus, she consoled herself with the thought that she'd be with him all day tomorrow. Perhaps they'd have the chance to find someplace isolated…

---

The unseasonably warm weather had continued, with clear skies and bright sun the beach was hot enough that swimming in the cool ocean water was actually a relief. For a while at least. They had laid out their towels, stripped to their suits and four of them had plunged into the water. Alex and Jack had made appropriately complimentary whistles when Allison and Terrie had emerged in their swimsuits. Allison was wearing her polka-dot bikini, and Terrie was trying out a new turquoise two-piece that kept drawing Alex's eyes to her shapely bare skin.

He wondered what the effect of the single change he'd made to Terrie might have, but he realized that he hardly ever had any physical contact with her anyway.

Allison dunked him, pulling him under the waves. He grabbed back, wrapping his arms around her from behind and kicking them both towards the sea bottom. He relaxed his grip, and she rolled within his arms, pressing her bikini-clad breasts against his chest. They kissed while they floated back up to the surface. They tread water together, legs bumping and tangling delightfully as they held each other. Lips explored, tongues licked forward and retreated.

They continued, oblivious, for several minutes. The brush and press of Allison's skin made Alex's penis grow stiff. Her hand brushed it, and she stopped kissing to giggle. Then she reached to press and feel it through the nylon of his swimsuit. I'd like to continue, she said, but I'm starting to get cold. Besides, I think the current is dragging us out to sea.

They swam back to the shore. Terrie and Jack were already back on the beach. Terrie was lying on her blanket, and Jack was just returning from his car carrying his surfboard. Hey you two! Terrie smiled at them. What were you doing way out there, I wonder?

Alex just grinned, awkwardly, and sat down next to Allison. Jack bent down to kiss Terrie briefly before continuing on to the ocean. Good luck with the waves! Terrie called after him.

Allison, searching through her bag, had pulled out a bottle of sunscreen and was busy applying it to her chest and belly and legs. Sunscreen Alex? Without waiting for an answer she poured some into her hands and began rubbing the lotion into his chest. She smiled at him as she rubbed her hands across him, teasing and massaging his skin. She finished with his legs, carefully rubbing her way upwards until her fingers strayed up under his shorts.

Finished, she leaned forward to kiss him, fingers just barely stroking his fiercely erect penis through his suit. Now you do me. She handed him the sunscreen and lay face down on the blanket. Alex straddled her waist, admiring the smooth, tanned back. He carefully untied her bikinni top, draping the strings to the side. He began massaging her back, moving from the small to her shoulders, occasionally moving up to apply sunscreen to her neck or over to her arms. Rubbing his hands along her sides, his fingers stretching to rub and press the sides of her breasts. As he did so he felt Allison's butt lift and twist slightly between his legs.

Alex shuffled back down and began to put sunscreen on her legs. As he moved upwards from ankles to calves to knees her legs spread further and further apart. As he massaged her thighs her hips arched back. He slid his fingers between her legs. Even in the warm sun he could feel the heat of her inflamed pussy. Alex finished with her butt, sliding his hands under the small patch of fabric to caress and rub the globes of her ass.

Finally he sat back, cock throbbing in his swimsuit. Allison was breathing deeply. Her head was turned to one side. Eyes closed her face looked extremely relaxed. He looked around the beach, wondering if there were anyplace more isolated that he and Allison could go to…

Do my back Alex? He started and turned to Terrie. She, too, was lying face down on her blanket. She'd untied her bikini top as well, and was watching him with through half-open eyes.

Uh, okay. He crawled over to Terrie. His cock throbbed as he straddled her ass. He picked up Terrie's sunscreen and squeezed some out on his hand.

Just the back, okay? Terrie's voice had an edge of warning.

Alex smiled. Obviously she'd been watching his foreplay with Allison. Gotcha. he verified. He wondered how Terrie would respond to his touch, since he'd changed her to feel it as twice as pleasurable as normal.

He thought she gasped slightly at first contact. He began to massage the sunscreen into her back. He trembled slightly at the sight and feel of Terrie's naked back under his hands. Smooth, dark skin, narrow hips and narrower waist, breasts bulging out slightly from underneath her chest. He'd always admired Terrie, and often fantasized about her — before the Control Program had changed his life. After all, she'd been the first person he'd used it on, and he held fond memories of her bare breasts…

He spent about five minutes working on Terrie's back, much longer than needed to apply sunscreen. She was obviously enjoying it; he thought he heard a few faint moans, and felt a few slow clenches of her buttocks. He sat back to one side. Enough? he asked her.

Mmm. Yes. Thanks. she said in a languorous voice. Her eyes stayed closed.

Hey Terrie, Allison spoke up, Alex and I are going for a walk.

Okay. Terrie replied, eyes still comfortably shut.

Allison leered at Alex, rolling up a towel and tucking it into her bag before throwing it over her shoulder. She took his hand and led him down the beach. So, she asked him in a sly tone, you liked giving Terrie a back rub.

Alex smiled back. Uh, yeah.

It's kind of hard not to notice. Allison's hand reached between them to press against his still-hard erection. I mean it's rather… prominent. Allison closed her eyes and continued to stroke her hand up and down the long bulge of his cock in his swim-suit.

She stopped and stood back, looking into his eyes. You should do her too.

What?

You should do Terrie too. Fuck her.

Uh, just because she asked me to put sunscreen on her back…

Oh don't be silly. She's always thought you're cute. We've teased her about it since Freshman year. Besides… I don't think they, I don't think she believes me when I tell her how great you are.

You tell her how great I am?

You know what I mean, how great everything, sex, is, feels with you. If she felt it for herself…

Alex's mind was whirling with the knowledge that Terrie really did have a thing for him. Then he shelved those thoughts for later, and reached out to lightly stroke Allison on the ass. So you really like it, huh?

She replied by melting against him, pressing her body to his and reaching her arms around his neck to pull him in to a series of long, passionate kisses. His hands massaged her ass, and she humped her crotch against the bulge in his suit.

Again she stood back. There must be somewhere around here…

Alex nodded. I was thinking maybe over by that pile of drift logs…?

They made their way over towards a series of gigantic, sun-bleached logs stranded above the high-tide line. They paused at a vacant lifeguard chair, and Alex climbed up. From that perspective he could see a sandy spot in the middle of the tangle. There were tall logs on all sides, and enough room for two people to lie down. C'mon. He took Allison's hand and led her to the niche.

She quickly spread out her towel, and pulled off her bikini bottom as she sat down. She carefully put it in her bag and then lay back, spreading her legs wide as Alex descended on top of her. She raised her knees to grip him with her thighs, and Alex could feel her slippery wetness against his abs as she rubbed herself on him.

Alex quickly sat back to yank down his swimsuit. Allison took the opportunity to remove her bikini top. Alex lay down between her legs again, using one hand to guide his cock to her swollen pussy. He groaned as he entered her, slowly sinking into her hot vaginal grip. She wrapped her legs around him, trying to draw him all the way in, but he pulled out and thrust in again, this time pushing his cock in to the hilt. Allison cried with delight as she came, pussy throbbing around his cock. She moaned again with pleasure as he began to fuck her steadily. Her body strained against his, legs pulling him to maximal penetration.

Allison's exclamations of delight grew louder and louder until she began to orgasm again. Her back arched off of the towel, her pussy pulsed around his cock and her body shook. She thrust and twisted beneath him as he desperately fucked his cock in and out. After only a few minutes of this Alex gave a loud, explosive gasp as his own orgasm arrived. His whole body trembled as ecstatic pleasure swept through him.

He gradually came to his senses, aware of the pleasant warm grip of Allison's pussy gently squeezing and relaxing as her series of orgasms finally passed. They lay there for a while, breathing heavily, gazing into each others' eyes. At last Allison shifted under his weight, so he withdrew, cock still hard and erect, to lie on the sand next to her. She rolled onto her side and put her arm around his back to pull his chest against hers.

Eventually her hand slowly trailed down his back, fondled his ass briefly, then moved around to his groin, to gently feel his hardon. Again? she asked.

Alex kissed her in response, and her tongue darted into his mouth to play with his. He began to roll on top of her but she stopped him, putting her hands to his chest pushing him away and flat onto his back. Me on top this time. she said.

She straddled his waist and sat up. She looked down at his cock, gently stroking its erect length, lifting it straight up and holding it against the smooth tanned skin of her her belly. Her gaze moved up to his eyes, then lifted to look around. She giggled briefly.

What? Alex asked her.

Nothing. she said, and lifted up, raising her crotch until her pussy was poised at the tip of his cock. Alex looked into her eyes as she slowly impaled herself. Her labia parted as they pressed against his swollen glans and the warm slick feel of her vagina slid down his shaft. Allison closed her eyes and whimpered with pleasure as she sank down onto him.

At last she was all the way down. His entire length was clasped within her. Her body was tense, and her breathing quick and shallow. She looked down into his face. Oh god, she said feels so good. So full.

Alex slid his hands up Allison's thighs. Fingertips resting at her pelvis he stretched his thumbs to gently press the loose flesh at the top of her pussy. She gasped when he found her clitoris, feeling the tiny nubbin within its hood. He continued to massage it, sliding his thumbs back and forth, around and down. Allison gave a low moan, and again he felt the pulsing squeezes of her pussy around his cock. He kept rubbing her clit, and Allison grunted as her whole body tensed and relaxed in the waves of a massive orgasm.

He paused, and Allison relaxed. She sighed with relief and reached down to move his hands back to rest on her thighs. Very nice. she growled, looking down at him with lust and adoration. Very, very nice. But now I'm gonna make you come.

She straightened her back, sitting straight up. Flexing her thigh muscles, she lifted herself up, so that only half of his shaft remained within her. The air felt cool on the exposed skin, as her lubricating fluids evaporated. Then, with a grunt of pleasure, she dropped back down, encasing his length in her warm, vaginal grip. She lifted herself again and shuddered softly as she held the end of his cock in her pussy. She rolled and thrusted with her hips, smiling at him as he gasped with the fantastic sensations pulsing down his cock.

Allison dropped again, and began to make slow, circular movements with her crotch. Alex moaned at the pleasure, sensation spread from the back of his penis into the depths of his groin. He began to make involuntary thrusts with his hips. He arched his back, lifting Allison slightly as he drove his crotch hard against hers. She moaned and changed tactics, leaning back away from him, bending his cock to point towards his knees. He could feel it rub against the walls of her pussy when she began to move up and down again.

Alex moaned, louder, and thrust with his hips again, trying to bury his cock deep in her pussy. But she merely lifted away from him, teasing him with the sliding squeeze of her sex. The pleasure was spreading from his groin to his belly. Alex could feel orgasm approaching. He watched where their crotches met, watched Allison's pussy lips moving up and down his shaft, clinging and stretching outwards slightly when she lifted herself up, then folding in a bit when she dropped back down. The sight of his cock sliding in and out of his longtime friend, combined with the rubbing sliding warm wet sensation of her pussy was too much. Alex grunted in release as he came. His cock throbbed with ejaculation, and Allison ground her crotch against his in time with his twitches, smiling at him warmly.

When he was done he opened his eyes to see Allison watching him. She bent forward and kissed him. He kissed back, holding her head lightly with his hands. That was nice. he told her as she rolled back to his side. Thank you. His penis was limp, and he hadn't even noticed.

Mmm hmmm. she murmurred, kissing him again while her hand gently stroked his chest. Shall we go back to the others now?

Not just yet. Alex told her. He rolled on top of her, pressing his penis against her thigh and willing it hard again.

Mmm yeah! was all she said, spreading her legs as she felt him swell and extend. With a little wiggling Alex managed to get into position. Allison sighed as he slid into her once more.

He fucked her slowly, watching her face. Eyes closed and mouth agape, Allison began to make small gasps with each of his thrusts. As her pleasure mounted, her body grew stiff beneath him. Her arms clutched tightly around his back, pulling his body hard against hers. Alex began to fuck faster, and with a barely stifled moan Allison came, all of her muscles tensing and relaxing in unison as the waves of ecstasy spread from her pussy through her entire body.

Alex slowed down but continued sliding his erection in and out, watching Allison beneath him. Her eyes were closed, her mouth open with panting breaths, her expression twisted with bliss. When he judged the moment was right, he began to speed up again, and with a choking gasp Allison exploded into another orgasm. Alex slowed down, but not as much this time. He luxuriated in the warm clasp of Allison's pussy on his member. When the gentle squeezes of her orgasm finally began to subside he sped up again, triggering another eruption of pleasure in the girl beneath him. This time she couldn't supress a soft cry of delight.

Alex continued to fuck Allison. By watching her face, and paying attention to the exquisite sensations in his cock he was able to vary the speed and depth of his thrusts to keep her in a constant state of orgasm.

Gradually her muscles relaxed, her arms were merely draped over his back, rather than crushing him to her. Only her face still showed signs of tension, as especially intense spasms of pleasure would inspire a soft — or sometimes not so soft — cry. Only her vaginal muscles continued a slow, pulsing rhythm of orgasmic contractions, and ocassionally she'd shift her hips to maximize her impalement.

Alex realized what he'd accomplished with the changes he'd made to Allison using the Master Control Program. All sexual contact with him was four times as pleasurable as normal, and her climaxes four times as intense. Combined they had allowed him to fuck her into a state of orgasmic oblivion. As he realized this Allison cried out again, and he felt a particularly strong wave of pulses begin. Without warning he joined her in an orgasm of such intensity that it clouded his vision. Eyes closed, Alex heard himself gasping aloud as his body shook and thrusted with pleasure.

As it passed he found himself lying atop Allison. He was dimly aware of slow, fading squeezes around his cock as her orgasm finally faded. She continued to lie still, breathing heavily. She didn't move or react, even when he moved above her to withdraw his softening hardon. He was starting to get worried when her eyes opened. They seemed unfocused for a moment, but then they met his.

Abruptly Allison threw her arms around his neck to pull his mouth down to hers. She kissed him, lips apart, sucking his tongue into her mouth. She pulled her legs up and out and wrapped them around the small of his back, pulling their bodies together for maximal skin contact. Alex began to feel new stirrings of interest at his crotch when she finally released him.

Oh Wow! She said, breathing hard. Oh, Alex, that was even better than the first time. That was… Oh Wow! She collapsed flat on the quite rumpled and sandy beach towel. I feel exhausted, and yet so energized and peaceful. If I'd known sex could be like this I'd never have tried to stay a virgin. Think of all the poor girls who just don't know what they're missing.

Alex said nothing. He sat on the sand next to her as she rolled over and — crouching low to remain hidden behind the logs — pulled out her bikini top and put it on. We'd better get back now. Terrie and Jack will be wondering… She didn't bother with her bikini bottom, but put on her shorts. Alex managed to wriggle into his swim trunks.

She sat still for a while, looking at him. Alex? she asked.

What?

We're friends, right?

Friends? Sure. I mean, yes Allison, you're my friend. I like you. I love you.

Did you… do something to me, to make me want you… not like a friend, but make me want to fuck you. Did you do something to me so sex with you feels so good?

Alex felt his heart start to pound. What? What sort of thing could I have done.

I don't know. Allison seemed embarrassed. Then looked thoughtful. But did you?

Yes. he admitted.

Alex? she asked again.

He raised his eyebrows at her.

Will you promise that we'll do this again sometime? Have sex?

Alex smiled at her. I think that could be arranged.

She giggled, and they stood up. Abruptly she gasped, put her hands over her mouth and laughed.

What? Alex asked her.

I forgot. she said. It's what I was laughing at earlier. The lifeguard. She was watching us.

Alex's eyes darted quickly to the lifeguard chair, which was now occupied. She seemed to be studiously ignoring them, gazing out at the ocean.

Oh. As they walked past the chair, Alex made a surreptitious inspection of their observer. Quite attractive, in her bright red two-piece. Her visible skin was a dark tan, and her legs and arms looked thin and muscular. Her chest was harder to tell, bound as it was under the top piece of her suit.

Allison nudged him, and laughed, to let him know she'd seen him checking the girl out. You should do her too. she told him teasingly.

What? First Terrie and now a complete stranger? What's up with that?

Oh, I don't know. I just feel so wonderful right now, that I wish every girl could feel this good.

Hmmm. Besides she seems young. Probably still in high school.

So what? You've never wanted to do it with a high school life guard? Even when you were in high school?

Well…

Besides, isn't Cathy's friend's sister still in high school?

Let's just get back to the car, shall we?

But as they passed the small shed that served as a storage area for the beach's lifeguards, he made a point of ducking inside. He picked up a clipboard hanging from the wall, took a glance at it, and returned it.

What's that for? Allison asked him.

Checking out her name.

Allison giggled again. Alex was busy thinking. He'd learned the pretty lifeguard's name. Lynne. And also that she was on duty again tomorrow. He began to think of things he could do with the Master Control Program.

He'd discovered that his friend Allison was also a beautiful girl who was a wonderful fuck, a girl who could come and come and come while he thrust back and forth into her pussy. A girl who liked him. Loved him, maybe. And maybe he felt the same about her.

He was distracted from those thoughts on the trip home. Jack drove. Terrie sat in the other front seat. Snuggling with Allison occupied most of his concentration. What little remained was occupied with the memory of Allison underneath him, spasming in a continuous rolling orgasm while he fucked her. He liked her, maybe loved her, loved making her feel such overwhelming pleasure, but he couldn't help but think about how much he wanted to do the same thing to Terrie.
