Chapter 21

Jake came down for breakfast, feeling relaxed after a morning blowjob from Della, and found June sitting at the table in a long T-shirt, an empty glass in front of her. Jake sat down, yawning as Sara placed a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon in front of him. June looked at him shyly and he smiled while pouring himself some orange juice. When he asked if she wanted some she nodded and he refilled her glass.

Nancy came in, helping Sara as she began breaking more eggs into a bowl. She pulled several packages of bacon out of the fridge and started opening them, putting an extra skillet on the stove. June watched the preparations with interest, looking at Jake in amusement when Nancy started on the second dozen eggs.

"What, are you guys expecting an army for breakfast?" she asked Jake, stealing a piece of bacon off his plate.

"Hey, don't be stealing my man's food," Elle said as she came into the kitchen, her three kids rushing downstairs to play with their friends. Jake gave Elle a steamy kiss before sitting back down to his food, finding his plate short another strip of bacon.

"Jeez girl, didn't you ever get fed?" he asked sarcastically. The look on June's face stopped him and he grabbed her hand, squeezing it softly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's OK, Jake," June said with a sigh, "and no, I didn't get fed like this. I was lucky to get table scraps, and I ate those from the floor." Her voice was tight, and Jake could see the emotion on her face.

"I had trouble convincing her she could sit at the table," Sara said, placing a fresh plate of eggs, bacon, and toast in front of June. "Here honey, eat up. The Whitman's don't let anyone starve in their house."

June nodded; her eyes a little moist. She squeezed Jake's hand back before letting go and picking up her fork. Jake leaned over and took two pieces of bacon off her plate, smiling as she looked up in surprise. "Hey, fair's fair, besides, they'll make more. Don't be shy about asking for more if you're still hungry, and that's an order."

"Oh, you going to be my Master now?" June asked sarcastically.

"No, I've got all the women I need," Jake said. "It's not that you're not pretty or anything, but my dance card is full." He looked at her thoughtfully, "We will have to see about finding you a sponsor though, one that will treat you right. Have you thought about what you want?" he asked.

The look on June's face said she wasn't used to being asked what she wanted. Jake worried a little, she was going from joking with him to crying, and the changes in her emotions were rapid. He made a mental note to speak with his mom, maybe even see if she could talk with June a little. She was a licensed psychiatrist after all.

June watched as the household began to wake up, shaking her head as kids began trooping into the kitchen, some eating the eggs and bacon, others helping themselves to cereal and milk. She watched in disbelief as the second gallon of milk was emptied in short order, the chaos of a Saturday morning in the Whitman house swirling around her.

"Jake, how many people do you have living here?" she asked as Brandi and Amy came in, relieving Nancy and Sara so they could eat. It took nearly an hour for all the people in the house to get fed, the cooks trading off as others helped with their kids. It looked like chaos, but after several weeks, the household had it down pretty well.

Jake found himself sitting at the kitchen island with his mother, June and Elle as Bonnie and Mary cleaned up the kitchen. The sounds of the smaller children playing drifted up from the basement, as it was too wet outside for a trip to the park. It had started raining last night, just a light rain, but it hadn't let up yet, and the weatherman didn't give them any hope for some sunshine over the weekend.

"Mrs. Whitman," June said shyly, "how can you handle having this many people in your house all the time?"

"Actually June, it's not that bad. Weekends sometimes feel a little cramped, especially when the weather is like it is. During the week a lot of the kids are in school so that helps too."

"Speaking of which, Mom, I'm taking the girls to the range this morning. Do you need anything while we're out?"

"Yes I do, Jake," Judy said, "bring home a side of beef and a truck load of bacon and eggs." June snickered at this and then got quiet, looking from June to Jake.

"What is it you want to ask?" Judy could tell June had something on her mind.

"Well, I was wondering if I could go with Jake?" she asked Judy.

"I don't know, why don't you ask him?" Judy said. June looked at Jake, waiting for an answer. He started to speak and Judy held up a finger, stopping him. "June, you need to ask him," she said. June looked perplexed, but finally shrugged and turned to Jake.

"Jake, can I go with you?" she asked.

"Sure, if you want. Are you sure you feel like it?" June nodded, standing up excitedly. She looked down at the long shirt she had on and Jake realized it was more than she usually wore under her coat, which was now in an evidence bag at the police station.

"June, go get with my sisters and tell them to get you something to wear. Also, let them know that you'll need a coat. Sorry, I don't think any of us have a long black trench coat around, but we'll find something to keep you warm."

"That's alright, I mean about the coat, I never wore one before hooking up with Liz, so I can wear whatever you have," she said. June headed up the stairs to find Della and Bonnie. Judy shook her head as she watched the girl disappear.

"She's a tough one," Nancy said from the doorway. "She's got cracked ribs, a cracked sternum and has been beaten worse than anyone I ever saw during my ER rotation, but she doesn't even seem like she feels it. Jake are you sure she isn't using something."

"I haven't seen any signs of it," Jake said. "She's used to pain, as sad as that is. She's been hurt all her life, well for the last four or five years at least. I guess she's built up a tolerance to pain."

"Yeah, well I hope I never have occasion to build up that kind of tolerance," Mark said, walking into the kitchen and topping off his coffee. "Jake, Liz's case is being handled by the Confederacy. Who knows what will happen to her? I sure don't. They take counterfeiting CAP cards very seriously. I don't know what she planned on doing if she was caught in a pick up, but knowing the mindset of someone who would do something like that, she hadn't planned that far ahead."

"Well, whatever happens is too good for her," Judy said, moving from her chair to sit in her husband's lap. "I think I'll try to get her alone for a little chat later, she's probably got a lot of issues to deal with."

"I was going to ask you about that Mom," Jake said. "She'll be fine one minute, even joking with me and standing up for herself, and then she suddenly starts crying."

"She's on a bit of an emotional roller coaster ride at the moment Jake, so that's to be expected. Yesterday at this time all she had to look forward to was more pain and humiliation, now she finds herself with a loving family who takes care of each other and treats each other with respect. She's going to have to adjust, but she seems like a bright girl and most likely just needs time." Judy patted Jake on the hand, pleased to see he was concerned about June's welfare.

It was an hour before the girls came down, and Jake couldn't believe the change in June. She blushed at all the stares she received. Her normally coal black hair had been lightened, appearing a deep chestnut brown. Makeup had been applied to her cheeks, giving her a healthy glow that her pale skin had been missing.

She wore a loose sheer dress, concealing the marks on her body while not concealing her figure. She looked stunning, each move revealing her stunning figure, the clinging material hinting at all while revealing some.

Harvey whistled at her from the living room, not realizing it wasn't one of the regular girls until she turned around. He felt a little awkward when he saw her face, but June just blushed and thanked him. Jake didn't know what to say and June's impish grin said she appreciated the look he was giving her.

Lana used her finger to close Jake's mouth, giggling at his reaction as the rest of his girls filed into the kitchen. "You like?" June asked shyly, getting a nod from Jake.

"Sorry, I was just wondering which of my girls I could trade in on you," Jake said with a wink. Bonnie slapped him in the back of the head, before kissing his cheek in gratitude at the obvious effect his words had on June.

"Well, let's get going," Della said from the door. "I want to go shoot something." The whole group headed out, stopping when they realized Harvey's van was parked behind Jake's Mustang. They would need it and one other vehicle to haul them all.

Janine and Val were hustling Janine's children inside out of the cold, and realizing the situation, Valerie handed Jake the keys to the van. "Here, take ours, we're planning on spending the better part of the day here." Jake nodded, handing her the keys to the Mustang as Lana kissed her aunt on the cheek.

The trip to the range wasn't long, and Jake was grateful for the vehicle which was already warmed up. They trooped inside, the girls now familiar with range procedure, and went to get their targets. June watched from behind Jake as he fired three magazines off quickly, and then asked if she could try.

"Yeah, I'm just worried about your ribs and sternum," he told her. "This gun has a little recoil, and you're not that big, I don't want you doing anything to hurt yourself."

The owner happened to be walking by and asked what was going on. Jake explained June's injuries and the man said he would be right back. He returned with a Ruger MkIII semi auto .22. The light, well practically non existent, recoil from the pistol would be perfect Jake realized.

He coached June in proper range procedure, and gave her a brief demonstration on how to aim using the sights. Standing behind her he loaded the pistol, having her pick it up and fire one round. He was pleased when she hit the target; although she was a little disappointed it wasn't in the bull's eye.

"June, look at my target," he pointed to where he had tacked it beside them on the corkboard that was at each station. "My rounds aren't perfectly centered. You see, when shooting for self defense, the idea is to stop your attacker. A round from a .40 caliber hollow point, placed anywhere in the vital area, will slow them down. Put two or three there and you can pretty well consider that person out of the fight."

"All right," June said, "can I try again?" Jake nodded, letting her finish off the magazine at a slow rate of fire, taking time to get used to the sights. Jake went to refill the magazine when the owner handed him another loaded one.

"Hey, if you want to shoot in the next booth, you can," the guy said. "I'll help her out while you get some practice too." June seemed alright with it so Jake stepped into the next booth, putting six more magazines through the Model 23 Glock before calling it quits. Stepping back to check on June, he watched in surprise as she fired ten rounds, putting six in the red and just missing with three of the other four.

"That's good shooting," the range owner said, smiling as June carefully safed the weapon before thanking him profusely. Jake asked about a light caliber handgun for her to carry concealed, getting a strange look from June. He ignored it and they spent the next half hour having her shoot various weapons. She finally settled on a Glock 28 in a .380 caliber.

She was disappointed when she first tried shooting the gun, as she couldn't group her rounds as well as with the Ruger.

"Honey, it doesn't matter," Jake said, drawing the target in from 15 yards to a distance of around 7 yards. "Try it now, the barrel on the Ruger is six inches, this one is around three and a half, so you're not going to be as accurate at longer ranges."

"That's right," the range owner said, "and since most self defense and law enforcement shootings happen at less than ten yards, you don't need to be able to hit a bull's eye at fifteen." June tried the gun again, and seemed satisfied with the little pistol after that. Jake decided he wouldn't want her shooting at him, and said so.

Thanking the man for his assistance they headed home. June was disappointed to learn she couldn't carry her pistol with her like Jake's girls, as she didn't have a sponsor to give her permission to do so. Mark advised her to keep it in the house for now, and as soon as she found a sponsor he would talk to that person about the issue.

Sunday was another typical day at the Whitman house, starting with the chaos of breakfast and building from there. The rain continued to fall, as did the temperatures, and the weatherman started talking about snow for the first of the week. The kids, who had been cooped up for too long, were getting wild and the decision was made to take them to one of the local indoor play facilities, like a McDonald's big toy on steroids.

The group raised some eyebrows when they entered, and the staff told them that they had to call ahead and make reservations for birthday parties and such. Finding out it wasn't anyone's birthday, just a large group coming in all at once left them unsure about how to handle it. Mark slipped them some cash, which quickly made everything alright.

Jake challenged Harvey to a race through the climbing tubes, getting a laugh from the big man. His shoulders wouldn't even begin to fit, and when one of the five-year-olds fell asleep in the tubes, it was Jake who went in to fetch him out. They returned home, ending up carrying half of the worn out kids in as they had fallen asleep on the short ride to the house.

Jake got a workout himself, managing to get all his girls off, and himself twice, before collapsing for the evening. He fell asleep, his body draped by naked limbs, a situation he had come to like.

The week started off quiet at school, well, except for the now accepted quickies some of the students got up to at lunch. Some of the less adventurous slipped off to empty classrooms or the bathrooms, but extreme public displays of affection were becoming the norm.

Jake was approached by two other students wanting to know about pre-packs, and Jake generally outlined the plan his family had. One of the two, Travis Walker, wanted in, he'd already selected his two concubines, and arrangements were made to get him a cell phone. The other, Roanna Slade, declined, saying she figured she would stand a better chance of getting picked up by hanging out at the mall.

Jake introduced Travis to his parents and gave him his phones that night. He was sitting on the couch, trying to figure out just how many sponsors and concubines they had lined up when his mother plopped down beside him.

"What's on your mind Jake?" she asked. "You look pretty serious."

"Well, I was doing some checking earlier on the net, and it looks like the pickups in the area are increasing. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't start doing pre-packs around here soon, and was trying to figure up just how many sponsors we have lined up. I was wondering if we have enough, or if we should be pushing to find more."

"Well, I've been keeping a list," Judy said, smiling at Jake's mock look of surprise. "Currently we have twelve sponsors, and 46 concubines." Seeing Jake's surprised look she laughed. "Hey, you're not the only one who's been signing people up. I've gotten a few friends on board, as has your father. He even got that nice Judge Nelson to sign on."

"Well, I guess things have gone farther than we ever imagined," Jake said with a laugh. "You know, we should get everybody together someplace for a day, just so we can get to know everyone. I mean, there are people in our group now that I don't even know about, or know for that matter."

"Your dad and I have been talking about it, but we're not sure where we could get that many people together," Judy said.

"What about renting a banquet hall and having a catered meal or something?" Jake asked. "We could get a DJ or something and throw a 'get to know each other' party."

"Jake, that's wonderful idea," Judy gushed. "I just wish I had thought of it. I wonder if we could get everyone together this weekend?" She jumped up from the couch, already flipping open her phone. "Mark honey, Jake just gave me a wonderful idea," Jake heard her say as she went into the kitchen.

I guess we need to find Ken a couple more concubines to fill out his four, Jake thought as he headed upstairs. He called for Bonnie and Della, finding them in his room surfing the net. He told them about his conversation with their Mom, and wondered if they knew anyone who would fit with Ken and his two concubines.

They promised to give it some thought, and Jake hung out with them until supper was ready. Afterward he and Lana retired to Bonnie's room for a little privacy. Afterwards they curled up, Jake holding Lana from behind as he drifted off to sleep.

Judy stopped Jake as he was headed out the door for school the next day. "Check with all the sponsor's you have made contact with at school," she said. "I can get a hall for this Saturday, or next Sunday. Find out what day is best for them and text me back."

Jake agreed and headed to school. The cooler weather had by necessity forced many of the girls to wear more clothing, although it was interesting to see how inventive they could get with their outfits. Staying warm while outdoors was a priority, as was displaying their charms while inside, and some of the outfits had become downright outrageous.

Jake saw a girl wearing chaps, a thong, and little else under a long coat, the cold wind blowing it open and hardening her nipples. Other similar outfits abounded, jeans with the crotch removed and lacy thongs showing, or other similar outfits were popular, although some went for wearing long coats or sweats outside, and sticking to their skimpy clothing from the warmer months inside.

Jake made contact with Ken, Kathy, and Travis at lunch, verifying that they could attend the banquet Saturday evening. Megan spoke up, telling Ken she had plans that night with her parents. Ken shrugged, telling Jake he could come without her.

"Ken, she needs to be there," Jake said firmly. "You're the sponsor, tell her to cancel her plans and attend. You're the boss, not her." Ken thought this over while eating a fry.

"He's right, Megan," he finally said. "Make sure you're there." Megan pouted a little, but finally agreed. Jake brought up finding Ken some more concubines and Megan's face lit up.

"Hey, my neighbor is interested," she said to Ken. "She's twenty-four, and has two kids. Her husband got picked up last year, and she's been kind of down in the dumps about it since then. They had planned on going together, but he went out for some pizza and never came back."

Ken agreed to meet with the woman, whom Megan babysat for on occasion, and see if they clicked. He didn't have any ideas for other possibilities, and Jake advised him to have his two girls do a little advertising for him. Jenna and Megan, who seemed to be getting along just fine now, agreed, saying they would talk him up and let prospects know to find him at lunch this week.

Jake headed to chemistry class, and maybe it was because he was looking at the girls in the hall as possibilities for Ken, but he noticed a small mousy looking sophomore staring at Ken as they passed by. Jake racked his brain, he'd seen the girl around the school of course, but couldn't remember her name. He finally pointed her out to Lana, finding out her name was Audrey Mears, and she was a senior, not a sophomore as Jake had suspected.

"She's pretty small for her age, isn't she," Jake commented. Lana said she'd always been tiny, and Jake had to agree. He mentioned her to Ken, but she was gone by then and the name didn't ring a bell with the other boy. Jake shrugged, he'd just wondered when he saw the way she looked at Ken, kind of like she had a crush on him or something.

Jake forgot all about her until he saw her again the next day, standing by the door to the school as he and his girls approached. Seeing him staring at her she gave him a half smile before scanning the parking lot again, obviously looking for someone.

On a hunch, Jake stopped and introduced himself. "Are you looking for someone in particular," he asked her. She nodded, and Jake asked if she was waiting for Ken. When she shrugged he offered to introduce them, and she shook her head.

"It would probably be a waste of time anyway," she mumbled as she turned to head inside. Kimmy looked at Jake for permission and he nodded, watching as she and Della hurried in, calling out to the retreating girl. Jake and the rest of his girls followed, hanging back as the two caught up with Audrey and walked with her, talking earnestly to the petite girl.

Jake headed for his locker, and by the time he returned to the central corridor, Kimmy and Della had rejoined the rest. When he asked them about Audrey they said they would fill him in later. Jake had long ago learned to trust his girls in matters like this and put it out of his mind. If it was worth pursuing, Kimmy and Della would do so.

He headed off to first hour, trying to concentrate on his classes. Most of what he was learning he'd probably never use now, but as his mom was found of saying "knowledge was power" and the more he knew the better person he became. He looked forward to seeing Elle in English class, she rarely made it to his home now except on weekends, and Jake tried to make it up to her then. His other girls understood, and did what they could to help her feel like a part of the group at those times.

Last weekend she had seemed a little distracted, and Jake was worried about her a little. She'd called in sick yesterday, and when he'd called at lunch she'd assured him she was fine, just feeling a little under the weather.

So when he saw her standing at her door, greeting students as they entered, he looked her over closely. She appeared nervous, even a little scared when she saw him, and Jake's trouble meter started climbing.

"Jake, can we talk real quick, I mean, I know you said at school we were to be teacher and student, but this is about us and I need to talk to you now." Jake nodded, pulling her aside as the last few students filed into class. Elle looked around to make sure no one was within hearing distance and then looked Jake in the eye.

"Jake, I'm pregnant," she said, her eyes searching his face for his reaction. Jake was stunned, he had expected anything but this. Hell, he was wondering if she'd found someone more her age and was wanting out of her contract.

"What did you say?" he asked. Tears were starting to flow down her face and he stepped forward, grabbing her arms gently above the elbows.

"Oh Jake, I'm sorry, I didn't think I could get pregnant again without medical help," she said softly. "After Beth was born, I was told that my chances of having another were slim. Anyway, I haven't taken birth control since for that reason, and then I missed my period last week and started wondering. I took two tests last night and three this morning and they all say the same thing. Please don't be mad at me, I didn't do it on purpose."

"Hey, Hey, Elle, I'm not mad. I promise!!" Jake said, trying to reassure the now weeping woman. "Oh God! Wow!! I'm going to be a Dad!!!" It took Elle a moment to realize Jake sounded excited by the prospect and she pulled back to look in his face.

"Gosh honey, I mean, that's great," Jake gushed, a wide grin slowly splitting his face as the idea sunk in. "I mean, I'd planned on waiting till after the pickup, but isn't that the whole idea behind the concubine system, having lots and lots of kids?" Elle nodded and Jake shrugged. "So we just got an early start, no big deal. Are you ok with this?" he asked as she wiped her nose.

"Yeah, I've always wanted more, and having your baby, well it's wonderful. I was just worried you wouldn't want me anymore or that you would be mad." Elle smiled at the look on Jake's face. He was definitely not mad. "Look we need to get into class, I just couldn't wait any longer," she said, kissing Jake fiercely.

Jake still had a stunned look on his face, although his grin was as wide as Texas when he took his seat. It was obvious that Mrs. Hall had been crying, although she was smiling too. "What's up with you two," the girl sitting beside Jake asked as he stared at Elle, trying to see if she was showing yet.

"I'm going to be a dad," Jake responded dreamily. He missed the shocked looks on the girl's face, as well as the looks he got from the students around him. Elle turned back around a few minutes later, having written the day's assignment on the board, and was greeted by a sea of whispers and wondering looks.

"My, we're a bunch of chatter boxes today, aren't we," she said gaily as she smiled at the class. "Now let's settle down and open our books to page ... Yes Mandy, did you have a question?"

She wasn't prepared for the question she was asked, and her face gave away the answer when she glanced at Jake. He just grinned and shrugged.

"Yes, Mandy, I'm pregnant with Jake's baby. Now are there any other questions?"

"How'd that happen," someone in the back blurted out, before realizing just how stupid the question sounded.

"Well, if you don't know that by now, ask your parents," Elle said with a laugh, not pointing out who had asked to all the students who were looking around for the source. "Besides, this is English class, not Sex Ed. Now let's get on with the lesson."

Jake wasn't surprised to find the whole school knew by the time he made it to lunch. He'd apologized to Elle for letting the cat out of the bag and she just smiled and told him she was happy he wasn't ashamed of the fact. She joined him and the rest of his girls at lunch, instead of sitting with the teachers as normal.

The ever expanding group at the table all congratulated them, Jake beaming as he accepted the slaps on the back from the guys. Half way through lunch though, the attention was taken off of them as Audrey came up to their table.

"Ken, can I talk to you, alone?" she asked shyly and the boy started to rise, nodding. He sat back down when Megan pulled on his arm and addressed Audrey.

"Honey, you need to do it here, like the rest of us," she said gently. It was obvious the girls were all in on whatever was going on together, as they all nodded.

Audrey nodded nervously, she'd obviously expected this, and looked around shyly. "Ken I was wondering, well I heard you're looking for some more concubines, and well, I mean, I know I don't have big tits like Megan and Jenna but I wondered if... ?" Jake thought the girl was going to run out of breath but she finally broke off, eyes down cast.

"Are you wanting to be my concubine," Ken asked, having been clued in by Megan right before lunch. Audrey nodded and he motioned her forward. "Let me see your tits," he said around a mouthful of burrito.

"They're not very big," the girl said as she nervously unbuttoned her shirt. She was right, they weren't but Ken didn't say a word, just reached out and slid his hand up her side, cupping one of her small tits in his hand.

"No problem," he said, tweaking her nipple with his finger and thumb. She shivered and he looked up at her face. "You like that?" he asked quietly.

"They're really sensitive," Audrey said, shuddering as Ken's second hand found her other nipple, rolling it between his thumb and finger gently. "God, that feels even better than when I do it," she said, blushing when she realized she'd spoken out loud.

"Have you ever had anyone else do this," Ken asked, curious about her response. She shook her head no and Ken looked her in the face, judging her reactions. "Are you a virgin," he asked softly. Audrey nodded, trying to see his reaction to the news.

"Damn," Ken said, "I was looking forward to fucking you today." Audrey suddenly looked worried, her eyes turning misty.

"You don't want me because I'm a virgin?' she asked fearfully.

"No!!! It's not that," Ken fumbled to explain. "I just don't want to take your cherry with the whole school watching," he finally said, his answer mollifying the petite girl. "I'd rather wait and do that somewhere a little more comfortable for you."

"Does that mean I have to wait for an answer," she asked, sighing as Ken continued to play with her nipples.

"We'll see," Ken said as he left off tweaking her hard nubbins and reached for the buttons on her jeans. "I do want to see the rest of you though." She nodded and quickly stripped, seemingly more worried about his approval than those watching. She turned around when Ken asked, and even bent over, putting her tight little bottom on display. She had a sparse bush, light colored like the hair on her head, and Jake thought he saw a few beads of moisture glistening there.

"Spread your legs," Ken said when Audrey was facing him again. He slipped his hand up to cup her sex, sliding his fingers in the moisture he found there before sending his middle finger questing between her lips. Finding her opening he slipped a finger in, encountering her hymen immediately. The thin membrane stretched a little before his touch, and he pulled back, beginning to work her clit seriously with his thumb.

Leaning forward he took a nipple in his mouth, sucking lightly on it. Audrey shuddered, nearly falling as her knees went weak. Ken felt a gush of fluid in the palm of his hand and realized the girl had come. Pulling back he looked at her face as her body still twitched. She hadn't made a sound, but the ecstasy was plain to see in her eyes. Ken, intrigued by her response, pinched her nipple again while he rubbed the hard nubbin of her clit with his thumb rapidly.

Audrey's eyes rolled back in her head and she started to fall. Ken caught her and guided her to his lap, where she ended up straddling his knee, facing away from him. He felt her moisture soaking into his jeans and figured he'd have a large wet spot there later. Her head lolled back against his shoulder and he turned to Megan.

"Damn, she didn't even make a sound," he said in wonder.

"She's from a large family and share's a room with three of her sisters," Della said. Getting a confused look from the others she sighed. "Look, sometimes you just gotta, you know, and you don't want the others in the room knowing what you're doing, so you learn to be quiet." The others nodded in understanding and they all watched as Audrey began to stir.

Finding herself in Ken's arms she blushed, muttering an apology. "Don't be sorry," Ken said as he held her small body, "that was a treat to watch." She stood, blushing again when she saw the wet spot she'd left on his thigh. "Don't worry about it," Ken assured her. "Listen, that was wonderful, but now you've gotten me all hard..." He left the hint hanging and Audrey nodded, kneeling down between his knees.

"They said you'd want me to do this," she said as she reached for his pants. "I've never done it before, so you'll have to tell me what to do." It wasn't a problem with Ken, and he coached her on what he liked, Megan and Jenna interjecting pointers for the kneeling girl. Ken groaned, and without warning, ejaculated into her mouth.

Audrey swallowed as much as she could, gagging a little in surprise at first. She got most of it though, the rest dripping down onto her thighs as she knelt between his knees. She didn't seem put off by the taste, even wiping the few drops she'd missed off her skin with a finger and licking the finger clean. Megan handed Ken one of the contracts, already filled out with Audrey's name, and he signed it with a grin.

Audrey squealed happily and jumped into his lap, hugging him tightly. She kissed him hard, suddenly pulling away when she remembered he'd just come in her mouth. She apologized, but Ken assured her it was fine. "I made it after all," he said, kissing her back.

The bell rang and she hurriedly dressed while he gave her a cell phone Jenna held out, explaining quickly that she was to carry it at all times, and that she should meet him after school in the parking lot. She nodded happily and hurried off to her next class, wiping at her chin with the back of her hand.

Ken met Jake in the parking lot Wednesday morning, looking a little worn out. "How do you keep up with six of them," he asked in a stage whisper, getting giggles from all the females present. Jake noticed Audrey was walking a little funny, but kept his thoughts to himself.

The girls however, quickly surrounded the petite blonde, and it was obvious what the topic of discussion was. Judging from the looks Audrey kept sending Ken, he'd made sure her first time was a good one. Jake teased him a little and Ken just shook his head.

"Damn Jake, I took them all over to meet the lady Megan mentioned, and boy is she a fox. Anyway, she said she was interested but last night was a bad time for a tryout, as she was on the rag. I told her I had plans for the night anyway, and the girls let her know I'd be taking Audrey's cherry later on."

"She said there was no time like the present and somehow we all ended up in her bedroom. She might not have felt like having sex, but damn Jake, that woman was all over us. She ate the three girls to screaming orgasms, even made Audrey scream." He wiggled a finger in his ear with a grimace.

"Believe me, once she learned how she didn't stop either, I think my ears are still ringing. Anyway, she laid me down on my back, had Audrey get on top and coached her through her first time. Then, she said she couldn't do it normal, so she had me fuck her ass."

"Sounds like a tough night," Jake said with a chuckle. "I hope you don't have to go through that again."

"FUCK THAT!!! I'm hoping it happens every night," Ken said, giving Jake a high five. "So what time did you say this thing is Saturday?"

"Mom said six," Jake told him as they went their separate ways, heading to class. Jake made his way through the day, and even got to eat an uninterrupted lunch. History was more of the same, that is football, and Gym wasn't much better. The team was playing their big rival, Grainger High, and that was all anyone could think of.

That night his mom told him everyone had gotten back in touch with her and everyone would be there Saturday. Jake had trouble finding a quiet place to do his homework, but finally got it done. He spent some time on the web, and looked like the cat that ate the canary when he finally came to bed.

Lana noticed it first, and tried everything to get his secret out of him. A mind-blowing round of blowjobs and passionate sex didn't loosen his tongue, well not to talk about his secret anyway, and the girls all groused as they settled down to sleep.

Friday morning they seemed to have forgotten about the whole thing, but Judy noticed he seemed awful full of himself. She asked him what he was so smug about and he told her she would see.

"Mom, just make sure you stress to everyone to be there Saturday," he said, refusing to answer any questions. Mark got a thoughtful look when Judy mentioned it to him, but just told his wife to go along with what their son wanted.

Friday night West Central High won the game, blowing the competition away in a 45 to 0 shut out. Jake didn't get into football all that much, but his girls had caught the fever and he'd taken them to the game. They were still wound up when they hit the sack, and Jake was nearly fucked to death, a fate he greeted with open arms.

Jake started getting ready early Saturday afternoon, taking a shower and laying out the clothes he was going to wear. Mark remarked on his eagerness and Jake reminded his dad that there would be a dozen or more women vying for hot water and bathroom space later in the day. Mark saw his son's wisdom and headed for the shower as soon as he could.

Jake predicted the chaos perfectly, and did his part by taking some of the younger ones under his wing. He got them dressed, and kept them entertained while their mothers rushed around half naked looking for this top or that pair of jeans.

Jake made his way upstairs to change and found his bedroom looked like a tornado had hit. He grabbed his clothes and slipped across the hall, intending to use Bonnie's room to dress. He was inside and had locked the door before he realized he wasn't alone.

June sat on the bed, her eyes sad as Jake stared at her. "Hey, aren't you getting ready?" he asked. She shook her head no and he came over to sit beside her. "Why not?" Jake asked.

"This is a party for sponsors and concubines," she said softly, "and I'm neither."

"You're still invited," Jake reassured her, the wheels suddenly turning in the back of his mind. Shit, this was one little detail that had slipped his mind. He hoped he could come up with a solution, but time was short. He decided she was definitely coming along, and one way or another, she was going to be with his family for the entire trip.

"No, I wouldn't want to intrude," June said softly. Jake watched as she rolled over, her back to him. "Go ahead and get dressed, I won't look," she said.

"If you want to look that's fine by me," Jake replied, standing up and beginning to change. "June, I saved you from Liz right?" June rolled back to look at him, watching as he slid off his sweats and began putting on clean jeans.

"Yeah, you did. And I owe you big time for that. Do you want to collect now?" she asked, sounding almost hopeful.

"Not right this minute, but soon," Jake said. "My point is, if anyone is your boss right now, I mean, if you still want a top, I guess it would be me, right?" June nodded a little unsure where he was going with this. "Alright, as your Dom I'm ordering you to go get ready for the party; you're going."

June jumped off the bed, her demeanor changing so suddenly it shocked Jake. "Oh thank you," she said as she hugged him, kissing him soundly before rushing out of the room. Jake stood shaking his head, a little stunned. He finished dressing and headed downstairs, stopping long enough to glance in his room and check on his girls.

He was greeted by the sight of a room full of half naked females, which almost made him forget why he'd opened the door in the first place as the blood in his body left his head for parts farther south.

"Uhm, girls, Mom said we're leaving in fifteen, so hurry up," he said, glancing at his watch. His announcement was met by shrieks of despair, and a few curses, so he quickly closed the door and left.

Downstairs he found a rental bus outside, big enough to haul them all. Jake hadn't thought of that either, and credited his mother with the foresight to plan ahead. The driver thought the house looked like one of those clown cars as people just kept filing out, kids in tow. By the time they stopped streaming out of the house the driver was convinced the place was actually twice the size it appeared.

Judy wouldn't let him leave until she'd had roll call, actually pulling out a clipboard and checking off each name. June got a little nervous when her name wasn't called and spoke up, wondering if Jake had gotten the whole thing wrong we he ordered her to come.

"June, I'm sorry, I missed your name," Judy said, checking her paper again. "No problem sweetie, you're a part of our family for now, and you have to come too." She told the driver to go ahead before plopping down in the seat across from Jake.

"So, if what you suspect will happen tonight happens, what are you going to do about her?" she asked Jake softly. Jake wasn't at all surprised his mother had figured out his suspicions. He just shrugged, telling her he'd honestly forgot about it, as June just kind of hung around and seemed like such a part of the family he'd never given a second thought to her status.

"I'll just have to convince whoever's in charge, if they show up, that she should go along. Maybe someone on the ship needs another or something." Judy nodded, not voicing her negative thoughts on the matter. Jake had been right about a lot of things she knew, maybe he was right about this too.

Jake almost laughed when he saw some of the waiters for the caterers, they were almost obvious, and their size alone should have given them away. One of them winked at Jake when he saw the young man conceal a grin behind his hand. Jake saw three others that he was pretty sure were Marines in disguise, and figured his plan for the evening was going fine.

Sure enough, right after everyone was seated and had started in eating, one of the overly large men whistled shrilly to get everyone's attention.

"Folks, none of you know me, but that's about to change. I'm Sgt. Merhoff with the Confederacy Marines, and this is a pickup." People started jumping to their feet and he yelled out again, his voice booming in the hall. "Hey, no need to rush, except for the band and the caterers, you all have a ticket out of here, so why not enjoy your meal. As of thirty seconds ago, no one can get in or out of here until I allow it, and I haven't seen a spread of food like this in a while."

"Here's what we are going to do, me and my men are going to join you all in this fine meal, and then we'll take a little trip to the stars. So sit down, enjoy your food, and we'll all leave here with full bellies."

"Oh, the AI says we have three sponsors among the caterers and one among the band. After you finish eating, make your way over to the southwest corner. Any of the band members and staff that want to get a ride out of here, go see them when they are ready. I've handled a lot of pickups that were rushed by necessity, this ain't one of those times, and contrary to what I usually say at this point, we do have all night."

He turned and headed for the buffet, beginning to fill his plate while the rest of his men got in line behind him. Jake went back to his food after getting thumbs up from his parents.

"You knew this was going to happen, didn't you," June said from where she sat across from him. "That's why you insisted I come along, isn't it?" Jake shrugged, he'd expected it, but hadn't known for sure. He told her so and she gave him a look that said, "Yeah right".

"So what, I need to go over to the corner and try to find a sponsor now?" she asked. "I thought you said you were going to be my Dom from now on."

That wasn't what he'd said, exactly, Jake thought, but he could see how she would get that idea. He saw the hurt look on her face and wondered how he could explain it without making her feel worse. There wasn't a way, he realized and sat there thinking hard.

"Jake Whitman," a deep voice said at his elbow and he turned, looking up at the large Marine standing there.

"Yes sir," Jake said, starting to stand.

"No, don't get up. Can you tell me which one of these lovely ladies is June Mansholt?" Jake pointed to June, who looked a little worried.

"Miss, on behalf of the Confederacy I would like to apologize for what happened to you and assure you that your attacker has been dealt with most harshly."

"What happened to her?" June asked.

"Well, to be honest she's dead. It has been my experience that is what happens when you go spacewalking without a suit."

"Why would she ... Oh!!" June looked a little green around the gills as she realized what the Marine was implying.

"Miss, I know we couldn't have done anything to prevent this, but we wanted to do something to make it up to you. Is there anything we can do for you?"

"Can you raise my score so I can volunteer?" June asked sweetly.

The Marine winced a little, shaking his head. "No, I'm sorry, we can't. Anything else you'd like, let me know, but CAP scores are set by the AI's, and if we changed yours, we wouldn't be any better than Liz."

"Alright then, can you make me Jake's concubine instead?" She turned to Jake, "Would you have me as a concubine?" she asked him. Jake nodded, looking at the Marine who stared off into space for a moment.

"Done," he said suddenly, "Sorry, I had to check with the AI. Jake, they've allowed you an extra, conditional on you giving the slot to her."

June nearly knocked the table over as she climbed across and threw herself onto Jake's neck when he nodded yes. The Marine wandered off as Jake held the sobbing girl, getting misty eyed smiles from the rest of his harem.

The extended group sat around talking after eating, watching as the four sponsors from the catering staff made their picks. One of the male cooks, realizing he had an audience, put on quite a show. He switched back and forth between three girls he had bent over a table, finally settling on two of them.

The third wasn't left out however, as she had impressed one of the Marine's, who was short a concubine, and he latched onto her. The last to choose, a woman, finally settled on a man and a woman, although she had been considering taking two men, She'd found two that were willing to go, until she asked one to perform oral sex on the other, and he backed out. Once it looked like things were winding down the Sgt stood up, rubbing his stomach and belching loudly.

"All right, ladies and gentlemen! It's time to get this show on the road. Our friends over in the corner look like they are finishing up, so it's time to get moving. First off, if you are a concubine, get naked. No exceptions, if you are not a sponsor, you will not leave here clothed. I have my reasons for this, and no, you don't need to know them before you do what I say."

He waited as concubines all over the hall began to disrobe, and Jake was pleased to see no one objected. "Good, glad to see everyone is on the same page. Now, sponsors, when I call your name, report to the north east corner with your concubines. And ladies and gentleman, thank you for making this the easiest pickup I've ever handled."

Jake sat back down, a naked June in his lap, and waited for his name to be called. He wasn't sure of the future, but was sure it would be interesting.
