He pushed himself up onto his skinned knees, flinching as a sharp corner of rock stabbed the raw skin through one of the tears in his expensive British suit's trousers. He'd skied enough to know that he was lucky he hadn't broken his ankle or leg when he'd stepped into the small hole buried by the brown and dull-red leaves and had pitched forward onto his face. Fortunately, he had been going uphill and knew the direction in which to continue. If he'd been on level ground in the oak, cedar, hickory, and walnut forest, he might have wandered off in the wrong direction thanks to the hard landing which had temporarily disoriented him. Possibly he might have returned to his broken expensive Japanese rental sedan by mistake. This wasn't a good idea, though it was a little late to conclude that. But the nearest towns were five miles back the way he'd come or eight miles the way he was going. The old fart at the cafe had told him not to take the gravel road shortcut over the hills in that sedan and to stay on the highway. The younger man with him had agreed, but Vince had been in a hurry to reach Westburg, where he had a motel reservation. No doubt the motel was a fleabag dump as lousy as the one where he'd stayed the night before, but he'd be finished with driving for the day, perhaps with time remaining to troll for prospective new customers ahead of the looming storm. Satellite imagery on his expensive Chinese laptop computer had shown what looked like a farmhouse about a half-mile away, on the other side of a ridge. Fortunately he'd locked the laptop in the trunk because the battery was running low and, like an idiot, he hadn't yet recharged the spare. That was fortunate because if he'd been carrying it, the rocks under the leaves would have smashed it on this fall, if not on one of the other two tumbles. It was also fortunate that because of the darkening skies, he'd checked the satellite imagery after using the GPS system to determine where he was. While disconnecting the computer from his expensive top-of-the-line Finnish cell phone, he'd dropped the phone. Now it wouldn't even light up, much less give him a dial tone. 'Punishment,' he reminded himself as he rose to his feet. Tommy D'Aversa, head of the Sales Department, was punishing Vince for breaking D'Aversa's sales record that had stood for twenty-four years and eleven months. Maybe if he'd waited one more month on that last sale so that D'Aversa could have reached the quarter-century mark with his record, the bastard wouldn't have told him to fill in on this route, the one usually given the new rookies to see if they had what it took to be salesmen. Vince examined his knee through the rip in his hand- tailored trousers. It was oozing blood, but wasn't bad enough to require making a bandage from his expensive French silk handkerchief and the expensive Italian silk necktie crammed in a pocket of his hand-tailored jacket. A lot of good his expensive imported clothing was doing him now. It had become expensive domestic rags. With the way his luck was running, the farmhouse would be abandoned. Or worse, it would just be rocks in a meadow that looked vaguely like a farmstead in the blurry satellite photo. He was wondering what he'd do if the farmhouse was abandoned or non-existent when he reached the top of the hill. Faint wood smoke suddenly teased his nose. When he stopped gasping for breath he thought he heard the high, tinkling trill of a girl's laughter. He angled to the right, toward the sound, and made his way downhill. The smoke grew stronger. Thirty feet later a rock shifted under his foot and he went down hard. The back of his head smacked the stony hillside and the lights winked out. ~ ~ ~ Vince opened his eyes. He was reasonably sure he hadn't been out long because the light level seemed about the same, though it was hard to be certain with the shifts caused by the dark, roiling clouds. His head still rang like a Buddhist gong. Sitting up brought on a wave of nausea that slowly passed and didn't return. He gingerly felt the back of his head. Congealing blood had trapped some debris. But if it was congealing, then he'd been out longer than he'd thought. Well, he wasn't gushing blood, but touching the back of his head was too painful a method for exploration. He'd check a mirror at the farmhouse. He thought he remembered that the clearing lay but a short distance ahead of him. He rose to his feet, using an oak sapling for support, and had to wait a couple of minutes for the revived nausea to pass. An engine spluttered somewhere off to the downhill left. The sound grew louder and traveled to the right, to the point where he thought he'd heard the laughter. It quieted, returned to life in a different pitch, quieted, spluttered, and died. A vehicle door slammed. Indistinct voices echoed. Vince released the sapling and carefully made his way toward the sounds. ~ ~ ~ The small copse of cedars ended at a drop-off. Vince, feeling light-headed, sat and stared down into a clearing bounded on three sides by the U-shaped ridge. A dirt road, little more than a trail, wended in from the left across the flat pastureland. He sat maybe twenty feet above the roof of a house which faced the entrance road a hundred fifty feet away and slightly to his right. Directly across from him were the open doors of a ramshackle barn. The house had seen better days, but it was in far better shape than the unpainted barn with its randomly-missing weathered boards. A rusty Ford pickup of uncertain vintage had been backed to the barn doors. A man lifted a large, heavy sack from the pickup bed and carried it inside. To the left of the barn sat a few equally decrepit sheds, with a small herd of cattle cropping lush green grass beyond and left of them. To the right of the barn, on the far side of the house, was an elevated galvanized-metal water tank marred by several cancerous patches of rust. The tank and a garden were both enclosed by a split rail fence. A voluptuous woman with waist-length black hair was in the garden, picking corn and adding it to a woven basket slung over her left forearm. She wore a broad, bright blue ribbon that pulled back her hair, sandals, and a belt. The latter apparently supported a sheathed knife and a leather holder with a small hand trowel. Vince felt like a voyeur, but the woman was so beautiful that he couldn't tear his eyes away. He was a voyeur. He was afraid to move and cause the woman to rush inside and dress herself. Instead, he stayed motionless and watched. The woman counted the items in the basket and turned toward the barn. She walked a half-dozen paces and pulled carrots out of the ground, adding them to the basket, before joining the man. They spoke for a moment, and then the woman shouted, "Lyla Mae!" at the house. A brunette teenager wearing sandals rushed out of the house. She took the basket and bolted back inside while the woman sank to her knees in front of the man and reached for his zipper. Less than half a minute later a wisp of the man's groans reached Vince's ears through the still air. Vince had never had a problem with premature ejaculation, but he could see how someone could be quick-triggered with that delectable morsel. The woman slid her face off the flaccid member, licked it clean, and left it dangling from the man's pants. She rose and disappeared into the house as the man stripped and dropped his clothes in the cab of the truck. To Vince's surprise, the tank was a heated outdoor shower. Steam from the falling water drifted in the afternoon air. He braced himself against expected dizziness and started to rise. A redheaded girl rushed out of the house and scampered toward the shower. She wasn't even wearing sandals. Vince relaxed and watched the two shower together, with the girl occasionally glancing in his direction. Finally she turned to face one of the support posts for the water tank, bent forward, and braced her hands against it while the man took her from behind. Vince stared. He'd always thought that the stories about these backwoods dwellers were exaggerated stereotypes. The man grasped her hips and took her in long, slow strokes. Vince was amazed that the man could get it up again so soon after the blowjob because he didn't appear to be that young. He soon decided that the girl's nubile sexiness could have aroused a saint. And maybe the man had just returned after a few days away. The man adjusted his stance and began stutter-slamming into the girl, with brief pauses at each end of the rapid strokes. When the girl wasn't allowing her head to sag or pulling it backward in ecstasy, she'd turn it to stare in Vince's direction. He sat absolutely still, afraid that he'd given some indication of his presence. The man began short-stroking. The girl's head snapped back, and she emitted a long squeal of delight. He slammed into her body one last time and then pulled on her hips to lock himself in place as he arched backward. When he curled forward over the girl, her head dropped to hang limply from her shoulders. They stayed that way for half a minute before separating. She gave the man a passionate kiss before hunching her hips forward into the streaming water, washing herself, and running back into the house. The man washed his equipment and then shut off the water. He opened a wooden box sitting on the top fence rail nearest the shower and removed a towel. As the man dried himself, Vince realized that the girl had failed to dry off. Children were so undisciplined. That was why Vince wasn't interested in a committed lifetime-relationship with Miss Right. One mention of the "M" word and Vince was looking for another Miss Right Now. The man threw the towel over his shoulder and retrieved his clothing from the cab of the pickup before disappearing into the house. Vince decided to wait fifteen minutes before approaching the farmhouse. That way, nobody would suspect that he'd seen anything. ~ ~ ~ The man, wearing only heavy rubber sandals and a faded blue baseball cap with a logo that Vince didn't recognize, emerged from the house before Vince set foot on the wooden steps. "Howdy!" he said as he crossed the porch that spanned the full width of the house front. With his black hair graying at the temples, he appeared to be in his mid- 40s, no older than Vince, though he had the look of wear that was the lot of these backwoods types and none of the softness that was beginning to afflict Vince. He was certainly in better shape than the porch, which had several new and somewhat-newer boards among the sagging and cracking ones shedding a dandruff of paint flakes between the door and the steps. "Good afternoon." Vince extended his hand, trying to ignore the nudity of the man clomping down the porch steps. "I'm Vince Clark. I had a problem with my car and need help." The man shook hands with a firm grip, smiling the way one would greet an old friend. "Jake Farmer, Vince," he said in a slow, methodical voice as if weighing each word before releasing it. "This here's mah place. Yuh talkin' 'bout that silver see-dan on Abbott Road? Th' one with th' front tire stickin' out at a forty-five degree angle at th' bottom?" "Yeah," Vince said with a rueful nod. "Something broke underneath. I was wondering if you might have a telephone I can use. My cell phone doesn't work here for some reason. Dead area here in the hills, I guess." Jake raised an eyebrow. "I reckon yuh might say that. Naw, we ain't got us no phones or 'lectricity out here. Don't really want or need it. Well, listen, we'uns is about t'have supper." He twisted toward the door long enough to shout, "Charlene!" and then said, "Yuh look like yuh got bunged up purty bad, though the car don't look like it rolled or nothin'." "No," Vince said. "I wasn't hurt in the car. I fell down getting he..." His words died when the black-haired woman appeared in the door, now wearing only the ribbon and sandals. The distance had diminished her beauty. Seen up close like this, she was ravishing, with sparkling gray eyes and full lips set in a rectangular face designed by a master sculptor. Her pale, untanned skin was reminiscent of the finest marble, reinforcing the sculpture image. Full, upright breasts, a narrow waist, flared hips, and long, shapely legs reaching from the ground to heaven, with the entrance to paradise indicated by a small black triangle, made the young woman a walking wet-dream. She couldn't be more than twenty-five, if that. Vince wondered what she saw in a man like Farmer. "Yeah, Pa?" she said, answering Vince's question. Vince thought it odd that Jake wasn't the least concerned that his daughter was naked in front of a strange man, though he certainly wasn't complaining. "Charlene, this here's Vince. That'us his car I saw up on th' road. Set another place at th' table, and after we eat, we'll see 'bout his car if'n th' storm ain't kicked in. And send Lyla Mae out here with some water and wash rags and a towel. I reckon Vince'd like t'clean up a mite." "Shore, Pa." She gave Vince a handshake and a smile, causing his heart and one body appendage to flip-flop, before she disappeared back into the house. "Jake, I don't want to impose..." "Aaah!" Jake growled dismissively, raising and lowering his hand, as if slapping down the argument. "Yuh obviously come from a city, where everbody's a stranger, don'tcha?" "Pittsburgh." Jake's smile widened. "Ah knowed it," he said in his slow, amiable voice. "There yuh go. Out here, we's all neighbors, and we watch out fer each other. If'n we didn't offer no hospitality, we'd be run outa th' hills. It'd be like us goin' inta the church and tellin' Revr'n Bob that he couldn't pray fer no sinners no more." "Well, then I'll pay you..." Jake shook his head. "No, yuh won't." He waved a finger in a slow horizontal circle. "Everthang here in this valley was oncet my pa's and his pa's b'fore him. They's buried out back, next t'Ma and Grandma. If'n I was to accept money fer doing what they taught me wuz mah duty and wuz the right thang t'do, they'd climb outa th' hole and thow me in it, head fust." The brunette emerged from the house, carrying an enameled pan of steaming water. She wore her sandals plus a towel and a wash cloth draped over one shoulder. "Lyla Mae, this here's Vince. I reckon Charlene told you 'bout him. Now, you help him clean up, and ah'll go see if'n Charlene and Emmy Lou got thangs in hand fer supper." Vince tried not to stare at the girl as Jake clomped up the steps and shouted, "Emmy Lou! Git down here!" as he disappeared inside. The brunette was slightly pudgy. Baby fat had lingered too long and was now just beginning the transition to blubber, and while she wasn't what most men would call "pretty," the oval face framed by the shoulder-length hair was what these people would call "puppy dog cute." She had large, sparking eyes of a deep-water blue that you could drown in, set on either side of a small perky nose. An impish grin of false innocence invoked visions of chocolate smears on lips protesting that she'd not been near the cookie jar. She was breathing rapidly, causing her small, wide-set, lightly-tanned breasts to rise and fall. "You look like you got bunged up purty bad," she said. Vince found the genuine concern in her voice touching. She turned and bent at the waist, placing the pan of water and other items on the porch. Vince discovered that the light coating of curly brown hair became denser the farther back it went. This time he made no attempt to avoid staring because the sight had destroyed the vestiges of his willpower. He openly ogled the girl's displayed twat. Like many salesmen, Vince thought of items in product quality terms, and pussy was no exception. You had the economy model, which had only the necessary basic functions and a cheap finish. You had the advanced model, which had additional attributes and a standard finish that made it a more desirable, if more expensive, item. You had your deluxe model, which had all the bells and whistles and a much nicer finish and would eat a hole in your wallet. And then there was the super-deluxe model, which was what you'd order if price were no object. The super-deluxe model was the standard by which all lesser-quality items were measured. The super-deluxe model was what you'd sell your soul to own, if necessary, because it was exactly what you desired. The super-deluxe model was what winked at him before Lyla Mae straightened. She smiled in an alluring blend of shy and coy that didn't help the sudden twitch in his pants. "Ah thank you'd best sit here on the steps while ah work on yore haid. You might better take off that shirt and coat afore we git bloody water dribblin' all over them," she said as she reached for his shirt buttons. "Even if they is sorta bloody and a whole sight dirty already." "Uh, yes," he said. "You're right." As he slipped off the jacket, she unfastened two shirt buttons, then ran her hand inside the V-neck of his undershirt. It felt warm as she rubbed it over his chest. "I don't feel no injuries here," she said, "but yore heart shore is a-hammerin'." "Well, I had a couple of bad falls," he said, hoping she wouldn't notice the swelling behind his trouser fly. "Uh huh. That'll do it fer shore." She helped him out of his shirt, then took it and his jacket and said he'd better remove his undershirt, too. She turned and bent over, feet slightly apart, to place all three on the porch and to retrieve the water basin. Vince realized that she also had a super-deluxe model ass. The swelling pressed outward against his fly. He hastily adjusted it to point upward as the girl dropped the wash cloth in the water and then wrung it. He thought it odd that this girl was having a stronger effect on him than Charlene. Maybe it was because the young woman was a goddess too perfect and unattainable for mere mortal men, while Lyla Mae was the willing girl next door. "Now, you sit on that there top step," she said as she dipped, swirled, and wrung again. He tried not to turn and stare as he sat, tried to will himself to face forward and not openly ogle the girl's curl- framed slit that had parted slightly and looked enticingly moist inside. It was like willing himself not to sneeze after inhaling dust. He was able to look away only after she lifted the basin and straightened. She stood next to him, facing away and with one foot on the porch and one on the top step, and bent over to place the pan on the edge of the porch. In the thickening still air, her scent drifted to him from inches away. Vince had parted several deluxe furrows with his nose, and while all had been excitingly pleasant, this super-deluxe model made the others seem skunky as spoiled beer. She straightened and shouted, "EMMY LOU!" As she straddled his hips and sat, she said, "Charlene kin fix yore clothes good as new. Meantime, let's clean up yore face 'fore the water gits all bloody." He couldn't stop himself from staring at the brown curls barely an inch from his nose or from following their descent as she sat on his legs. The scent was so enticing that it was destroying his civilized inhibitions. She seemed not to notice as she gave him a natural smile and gently washed his face. The hot water was relaxing, and even though it was only his face she washed, he felt as if his body had been immersed in the soothing waters of the whirlpool at the Midtown Gym. She had just finished when the screen door opened. "What'cha want?" asked the youngest girl, her square face scrunched into a frown, as she padded barefoot across the porch and halted at the edge of the porch. She was close enough to squat slightly and rub her smooth crotch on Vince's right shoulder if she wanted. "Emmy Lou, this here's Vince." The girl gave him a sly grin. "Ah'm pleased t'meet yew up close," she said, her eyes flicking up to the hillside for an instant. If Lyla Mae's grin was impish, the light in Emmy Lou's green eyes was positively devilish. The tip of a middle finger briefly scratched an itch just inside the juncture of a leg and one of her hairless folds. "But ah'm sorry y'all got hurt gittin' here." Her own scent arrived in that instant and made his head spin. He fought to clear it enough to find the right words for his reply. "Uh, hello, Emmy Lou. Nice to meet you, too." "Emmy Lou, take Vince's clothes in fer Charlene to fix. An' tell her," she raised an eyebrow slightly, "that they's got blood on 'em." Thunder rumbled in the distance while Emmy Lou nodded, gave Vince a quick show as she bent to pick them up, clutched them to her narrow flat chest, and scampered back inside. A light breeze began, laden with the smell of rain. "Emmy Lou's a sweetheart," Lyla Mae said as she rinsed the wash cloth and squeezed some of the water out of it, "but she's terrible impatient, and sometimes she ain't got the sense of a June bug. Ah thank she's Pa's favorite, but she shore does try his patience at times. Well, let's get yore head cleaned up now." She straightened her legs and rose, dragging her lightly- tanned left breast across Vince's face without seeming to notice, and stepped over his shoulder. The curl-covered folds parted with a wet, sucking sound, and again his head spun with the dizzying effect of her super-deluxe-model perfume. She squatted behind him and carefully inspected the wound on the back of his head. "Not as bad as ah first thought," she said. "Most people wouldn't even give that sucker a stitch. 'Course, I don't need t'do that, nohow." The screen door opened for Jake, followed by Charlene with her basket. "Lyla Mae gittin' yuh all fixt up, there, Vince?" Jake asked as they crossed the porch and descended the steps. "She certainly is. I feel better already, and she's just beginning." "Yeah, Lyla Mae's th' best'un fer doctorin' yuh when yore hurt. Lissen, me and Charlene got t'run out t'that there far shed fer a few minutes. Yuh need anythin', yuh jest tell Lyla Mae." "Thanks, Jake, but I'm fine." He watched the enticing wiggle and bounce of Charlene's buttocks as she walked arm- in-arm with Jake to the shed. He was vaguely aware that she carried something in the basket, but no man could ignore that wiggle and concentrate on the basket. Lyla Mae sighed and said somewhat wistfully, "Everbody likes Charlene." By the time she'd gently dabbed away the blood, the pain had left with it. "It'll be better after supper," she said, "and then you kin take a shower and get th' rest of it cleaned off." That was a strange comment, but she was young and these hill people had an odd dialect with any number of colloquial expressions that shouldn't be taken literally. "We got jest enough time to take care of that there knee 'fore supper. You get them pants off so's we kin clean it up all proper-like, an' we'll have Charlene fix them, too." His pants were barely able to hide his raging erection while he sat. His underwear alone couldn't hide it, even if he were sitting down. "Uh, Lyla Mae, I don't think Charlene could fix these the way they're torn. But I have more in my car. I'll get them later." Lyla Mae stepped over his shoulder again, and once more his head spun with longing. "Don't you go sellin' Charlene short. She does magic with cloth. But more important, we gotta clean up them knees so they can heal tonight, or you gonna have a right bad infection in them. An' there's too much dirt on them pant knees, so you gotta get 'em off or cleanin' up them scrapes ain't gonna help none." "Well," he said, hesitating. Thunder again rumbled, and the air temperature dropped noticeably. The smell of rain intensified but didn't override the scent from Lyla Mae's twat. She grinned at him. "You embarrassed about that big ole boner you got there? Well, don't you worry none. One of us'ns will take care of that fer you later." She leaned down and gave it a squeeze. "Oooh, that's a nice'un. I'd be mighty proud if'n you picked me t'fix that fer you." A dozen thoughts fought for control of his tongue. The one that won was, "But what about your father?" "Oh. Well, Pa don't go in fer that, if'n that's what you want. It's jest us three or nothin' but yore hand," she said with a giggle. "No, that's not what I meant!" he said in a rush, shaking his head. He didn't realize until later that he could now do so without becoming dizzy. "I meant, won't he object to me, well, having... with us..." "Naw," said Lyla Mae with a lively laugh. It was the same laugh he'd heard in the woods. "He don't care if we fuck. Shoot, he appreciates havin' some help, and we'uns appreciates havin' some variety on th' menu. But we gotta wait until the right time, after the drinks." He shook his head in confusion. Maybe he'd hit his head harder than he realized. "What?" "Lookit, y'gotta do it Pa's way, or you don't get none a'tall. An' I'd shore be disappointed if'n I didn't get none o'that. 'Course, two of us would be disappointed anyways, 'cause you only get one of us." "What? One..." "C'mon! Get yore pants off or we'll be late fer supper. Oh, fer goodness' sake. Here, I'll help you. Besides, it's startin' t'rain now." The first cold drops arrived with her words, accompanied by a stronger rumble of thunder. ~ ~ ~ Vince was half scared to death at the idea of entering the house with a raging erection leading the way. Lyla Mae had stripped off his underwear when she yanked down his torn trousers. Neither Jake nor Charlene had noticed the woody on their return, but he'd tried to hide it then. He'd argued with Lyla Mae, but she'd grabbed his wrist and pulled him along. The girl was as strong as a draft horse. Jake was standing at the countertop with his own erection and scooping biscuits from an oven sheet into a wicker bread basket. To Vince's great relief, Jake merely indicated a chair, smiled pleasantly, and invited him to sit. All three of the girls regarded Vince's woody with obvious interest. Lyla Mae and Emmy Lou sat on either side of him at the long table, with the younger girl between himself and Jake at the end, while Charlene sat across from him. Outside the storm had intensified, darkening the interior of the house. Suspended kerosene lanterns created a warm glow that illuminated the kitchen and dining table. The overall effect was a warm, homey atmosphere that Vince found immensely comforting. More comforting, in fact, than his expensive house in the "right" part of Pittsburgh. After he'd had his first bite of the Salisbury steak with onions and commented on its wonderful flavor and tenderness, he said, "I'm curious. If you don't have electricity and natural gas, how do you heat your water? Do you just heat it on the wood cook stove or do you use a wood-fired boiler? I see you have dual taps on the sink." "Nope," Jake said around a mouthful. He swallowed and continued in his slow, methodical way. "When my great- granpappy built this place, he picked th' perfect location. It's got two o' them artesian springs." He pointed toward the water tank with his knife. "They's a hot 'un over yonder and a cold 'un," he moved the knife to point to the rear of the property, "over that-a-ways. But that ice in yore sweet tea? We brung it in from town and stored it down in th' cellar." Charlene wiped her mouth and said, "In th' summertime, we gotta buy new ice 'bout ever two weeks. It's 'bout ever three in winter." Jake cocked his head and said, "Ah'm kinda curious mysef. How come I didn't see you on th' road or th' entrance trail when ah come home?" "Oh, well, I didn't follow the road. I came over the ridge. That's where I fell and hurt myself." Wonder, if not amazement, flooded Jake's face. "Over th' ridge? Ah'm surprised yuh didn't git bit by none o' th' rattlesnakes! How'd yuh keep 'em from attackin'?" "Rattlesnakes?" Fear edged Vince's voice. "I didn't see any snakes of any kind. There are rattlesnakes on that ridge?" Jake's fork halted in mid-lift. "Th' thang's covered in 'em," he said quietly, giving Emmy Lou a long, hard look. The girl stared at her plate and chewed slowly. Maybe his erection was a good thing, Vince decided. It had kept him from hosing the floor at the mention of the snakes he'd wandered through. He thought for a moment as he attacked his corn on the cob. "Maybe that's what those two meant when he said to stay on the road." "Whut two?" Jake described the men. "Yup. That'd be ole Cooter and Jessie. They'd know." Emmy Lou brightened. "Ah like Cooter, but Charlene's his fav-o-rite." Her face collapsed into a frown. "Jessie likes Nancy Jean." "Nancy Jean?" Vince asked. The table was large enough for three more people, five if you didn't mind jostling elbows a little. Jake glared at Emmy Lou again. She resumed staring at her mashed potatoes and gravy. "Oh, she ain't here right now," Charlene said in a conversational voice, though frowning at Emmy Lou. Despite the lack of blood flow to his big head, Vince realized it was time to change the subject. "Nice home you have here, Jake. I'd like to retire to a place like this." The words were out before he realized he had thought them. But it was true. His house and exclusive lot was worth well over half a million dollars, but it wasn't a home. This was a home. "Well," Jake said, finally shifting his gaze back to Vince and smiling again, "yore certainly welcome t'visit us any time yore in th' area. Yuh like fishin'?" Vince chuckled as Lyla Mae passed him another hot biscuit and the home-churned butter. "I've always liked the idea, and I liked the time or two I went as a boy." "Maybe yuh'd like t'come back and do some bass or crappie fishin' oncet in a while. Mah land goes all th'way down t' th' river, and Bodie Crick cuts through th' beef cattle pasture. We got us some good sized catfish in th' crick that'll damn near pull yuh in if'n yuh ain't got yoreself braced good fer th' fight. Ah got three guys from Charlotte and Bossier City and Tampa who come here oncet or twicet a year t'fish. Th' one from Tampa's about t'retire. He done made hisself an offer on th' Clark property 'bout two mile up th' crick. Lyla Mae giggled. "Fishin' ain't all they come fer." "Well, no, t'aint all they come fer. Vince, let's git down t'bidness here. Now, ah noticed yuh done took a fancy t'all three of mah girls." Fear flashed through Vince. Perhaps the use of "business" meant that Jake was about to offer to pimp his daughters, as the girls' comments had indicated, but Vince knew that for the people in this part of the country, "business" could just as easily mean a lynching. Charlene seemed to read his mind. "Now, don't yew let Pa's word scare yew," she said, giving him a warm smile. "He's jest sayin' he noticed yew ain't no sissy boy." Jake looked embarrassed. "That's right, Vince. Didn't mean t'alarm yuh. Hell, a man's got t'be either dead or a New Jersey faggot not t'git aroused by these here young'uns. Now, most days they's more than ah kin handle by mahself, so ah'm allus glad t'see someone who can lend me a hand with 'em. Or some other body part, if'n yuh knows whut ah mean." His face split into a broad grin. Vince began to relax. "I think I know what you mean." Jake laughed. "Ah reckon yuh do. Now, there ain't no sense in a-goin' out in this here storm t'fix yore car. Yore car's safe where 'tis fer th' night, 'cause there ain't nobody with no sense gonna be out on that there road in this weather. We'll fetch it and fix it in th' morning. Meanwhile yuh kin stay th' night here with whichever one o'these gals yuh fancy most. Now, they's only three hitches: one, yuh cain't hurt 'em with no rough..." Vince was shocked. "Jake, I'd never do that!" "Ah didn't thank you wuz that kinda man, Vince, or ah'd not of offered. Two, yuh cain't tell nobody about us. Nobody, nohow, no way. Yuh ken whut ah'm sayin'?" Vince nodded, realizing that the man was deadly serious. "It's nobody else's business, Jake, unless you decide it is, and then you can tell them." Vince's head began filling with possibilities for the night. "Good. And three, yuh kin have only one of 'em and cain't touch none of th' others a'tall." A large number of possibilities vanished as he remembered Lyla Mae's words. "What?" blurted out before he could put a brake on his tongue. "Ah'm sorry, Vince, but that's th' way 'tis. Yuh git one or none." Vince shook his head to clear away the fog that had settled in. "I'm sorry, Jake. I didn't mean to be rude. I didn't mean what it sounded like. I was just..." Jake's hand slapped down the apology in a gesture as slow as his words. "Ah! Don't yuh worry 'bout that, Vince. Most fellers is took off kilter, same'us you. Now, yuh don't have t'make up yore mind yit, but yuh need t'decide by bedtime less'n yuh wants someone t'take the edge off 'fore then." "Well..." He didn't know what to say. Charlene was definitely legal, Emmy Lou was definitely illegal, and Lyla Mae... Lyla Mae he wasn't sure of, though he strongly suspected she was on the too young side. He found it difficult to think. Maybe it had something to do with the pressure in his lap. "PA!" Lyla Mae shouted, looking at that lap. Charlene's face twisted into a scowl. "Emmy Lou, yew turn loose of Vince's manhood 'n' let him make up his own mind, y'hear?" Emmy Lou started to protest, but Jake growled her name in a rising tone. She released Vince's erection and, head down, clutched her hands together between her knees. "Yeah, Pa?" "If yuh cain't mind, yuh kin finish yore supper in th' barn agin. Now, apologize t'Vince." Her square face rolled sideways toward his. "Ah'm sorry, Vince." Her plaintive voice slowly turned more resolute as she said, "It's jest thet most men wants Charlene, and ah want y'all fer mahsef!" Fortunately diplomacy was a requirement for a good salesman, and Vince was an excellent salesman. "Emmy Lou, I'm sincerely flattered and deeply honored. That's a very wonderful compliment to me." He heard Lyla Mae huff as he continued. "But Charlene's legal age. If I chose you, I could be in big trouble..." "Oh, y'all don't gotta worry 'bout that," she said, straightening and looking directly at him. "Sheriff Perkins always chooses me." "EMMY LOU!" Jake's palm slapped the table top. The sound was almost as loud as the thunderclaps outside. "Yuh know we don't never tell nobody's name t'nobody else." "Yew tole him Cooter's and Jessie's." "Yeah, but ah ain't th' one who tole him they's gettin' privileges. Who wuz it opened her mouth 'bout that and got warned already? Now, yuh got clean-up AND dishwashin' chores both fer t'night, and I don't want no backtalk or yuh'll have 'em fer a week." "Yes, Pa," she mumbled. She was silent for the rest of the meal, which included the best banana cream pie Vince had eaten since Great-Aunt Margaret had grown too old to bake. As Vince pushed his chair back from the table, he realized his knees no longer ached. He looked down in surprise and was startled to see that the injuries had almost vanished. When he commented on it, Lyla Mae shook her head. "T'wern't nuthin' bad hurt, Vince," she said with a shy smile. "They'll be right as rain in the mornin'." They adjourned to the living room. Vince politely refused a pipeful of Jake's home-raised tobacco but did accept a small glass of whiskey "t'settle yore stomach." He was surprised to see the Jack Daniels label. He supposed he'd expected moonshine. He was also surprised when Charlene and Lyla Mae joined them. Well, he guessed Charlene wasn't a surprise at her age. Jake sat in an overstuffed chair covered in faded blue gingham. Vince settled to the middle of a green corduroy couch that had the ribbing of the seats and back worn almost smooth. Charlene and Lyla Mae sat to either side of him, but not next to him. That didn't stop Emmy Lou from sticking her head in the room occasionally and huffing her displeasure. Jake was like a kid showing off a new toy as he methodically explained the operation of his farm and how he raised most of what they ate, while also selling a few beef cattle, pigs, and chickens to the butcher shop and vegetables to the grocery market in the town where Vince had met Cooter. He was gave equal enthusiasm to Vince's story of life as a traveling salesman. More importantly, Jake was sympathetic to the way D'Aversa had screwed him. "Yup," Jake said, "that'us handin' you th' dirty end o' th' stick fer shore. But th' silver linin' o' thet dark cloud is we got t'meet yuh. Yore misfortune wuz fortune for us. Th' world does sorta tend t'balance thangs out if'n yuh let it." Vince looked around the living room. Worn furniture, faded wallpaper, paint beginning to peel from some of the wood trim and the staircase balusters, hardwood floors that showed the wear of four generations of feet, and everything tinted orange by the light of kerosene lanterns. But everything was clean and orderly. The lack of clutter should have made the place seem sterile, like a hospital room, but instead the feeling was one of peace and home and belonging that he'd not felt since he'd left for college. The feeling was something his money could not buy for his expensive new home and all its latest electronic gadgets. He wondered if the man from Tampa had felt the same peace and if that was why the man wanted to move to the area. He'd have to give that concept further consideration. "Jake," he said, nodding at various places in the room, "maybe my fortune was greater than yours. If you're ever crazy enough to give up this place, you call me first." Jake smiled, acquiring a boyish look. "Thank yuh, Vince. That'us a mighty neighborly thang t'say, though yuh ain't th' fust t'say yuh'd like t'buy it. But yore welcome t'come back t'visit any time fer as long as yuh want t'stay." Vince shrugged. "Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to spend maybe a week of my vacation next spring learning to fish again. But if I'm a bother, I can get a room in town...." "Don't you even thank about it!" Lyla Mae said in an end- of-discussion manner that caused Vince to chuckle. "You gonna stay here with us'ns th' whole time. Right, Pa?" "Well, Vince kin stay wharever he wants, Lyla Mae, but he's certainly got an open invitation t'stay here, and we'd all be powerful disappointed if'n he chose to stay some'rs else." "Yew right about that," Charlene agreed as Emmy Lou entered, huffed at the tableau, and poured herself a small glass of bourbon. The youngest girl settled on Jake's chair arm and made hungry eyes at Vince while she sipped the liquor and gave Jake a woody. Jake's arm curled around her, and his hand slowly stroked an inner thigh. "Well, Vince," Jake said, "around here we folks goes t'bed early and gits up early. So, if'n yuh wants t'have a bedwarmer t'keep yuh happy, yuh gotta make a choice now, else they's all gonna pile inta mah bed, and ah ain't gonna git no rest a'tall t'night takin' care o' their needs. It'd shore hep me out if'n yuh'd choose one." Vince turned his head left to scan Charlene, who sat watching him as if from a throne but without any imperial pretense. He knew that didn't make sense, but that was the impression she gave. She was a walking wet dream, but... After a moment he realized the problem. She was absolutely perfect. Too perfect. She was like the plastic women in Playboy Magazine. Not that she had plastic breast implants. He could tell that hers were natural. But she was more like a mannequin: she resembled a woman, but she was an artificial construct. His head turned to look straight ahead at Emmy Lou, who was staring at him with dog-like anticipation while slowly pumping Jake's erection. He had to admit that a girl just on the edge of puberty, with her breasts undeveloped except for the areolae pushing out over a slight amount of new padding that vanished when you looked directly at it, had its appeal to him. And there was also the allure of how tight her twat would be. He wondered if she'd be too small and tight, but then he remembered that she'd been used by several men as well as Jake, whose erection was roughly the same size as his own. So, physically, she had more appeal than plastic Charlene, but... Emmy Lou was just too bossy. Perhaps she was Jake's favorite, and that would explain her spoiled behavior that reminded him of why he never wanted marriage and children. His head continued around to his right to gaze upon Lyla Mae, who looked forlorn. She'd already given up, telling herself that he would choose either youth or beauty, but... But she was real, not artificial. The perfect twat was balanced by human imperfections. She was truly interested in Vince and not just in what he could do for her. She had an inner beauty not shared by her siblings. And she had that super-deluxe model twat. "Well," he said, turning his attention back to Jake, "if you're serious with your offer, then I'd choose Lyla Mae, if that's agreeable to her." "NO!" Emmy Lou sprang from the chair arm and raced up the stairs, crying. Vince turned to follow her with his eyes, then gave his host an embarrassed look. "Uh... Jake, I hope I didn't..." "Nah," said Jake, slapping down the comment. "That'us th' way she acts ever time she don't git took. And ah don't thank yore gonna get no objections from Lyla Mae." The girl looked happy enough to sing. "None, a'tall Pa!" she gushed with genuine pleasure. "Charlene?" The young woman rose, pausing to pat Vince's shoulder. "Yew are gonna be plumb happy with yore choice, though ah hope next time yew visit yew choose me," she said. She went to the sideboard and poured two small shots of whiskey. She pulled a small vial from somewhere and added three drops of clear pink liquid to each, then handed them to Jake. He gave one to Vince, then paused before he extended the other to Lyla Mae. "Last chance t'change yore mind," he said. "No," Vince said with a smile at Lyla Mae. "I've made my choice." After Jake gave the other glass to Lyla Mae and she had tossed it down, Vince brought his own glass to his mouth. He noticed the faintest hint of orange peel. "Uh, Jake, what did Charlene put in the drink?" "Aw, nothin' that's gonna hurt yuh. Leastwise, it ain't hurt nobody yit. It's jest some herbs 'n' other natural stuff. Yore gonna need it tonight." Vince knew that these rustic types put great store in love potions and other nonsense. But, if it made Jake happy and if it meant that he'd get Lyla Mae for the night and it wasn't going to hurt him, then what the hell? Though he didn't see how he'd need home-brewed Viagra with Lyla Mae. Maybe after a steady week or two of her, he might need a little help, but he suspected that tonight he'd be steadily helping himself to that perfect twat until sunrise without assistance. The smell was faintly orange, but the taste had hints of lemon and cloves. No sooner had he lowered the glass than Lyla Mae pressed her mouth to his, her tongue reminding him of the rattlesnakes that were supposed to be on the ridge. Lust swept over him, clouding his mind and demonstrating his lack of erectile dysfunction. She grabbed his throbbing erection and pumped. "You wanna git on up t'bed and git comf'terble?" she asked in a breathy murmur. "Yes," he said in equally breathy voice. He'd been worried about what Jake would say to the handjob in his living room, despite the man's words, but when Lyla Mae pulled away, he saw Charlene pumping away at Jake's pole. "If'n yuh want t'git in bed 'fore yuh cut loose, Vince, then have a good night and ah'll see yuh in th' mornin'. Ah'm gonna finish off Charlene down here 'fore ah head up t'Emmy Lou. But yore welcome t'finish here on th' couch 'fore goin' upstairs if'n yuh want t'do so." Somehow, Vince just couldn't reconcile humping the man's daughter with him and one of the girl's sisters in the room. ~ ~ ~ "Which door?" Vince asked. Lyla Mae pointed because she couldn't speak, and he managed to get them into the room. It was hard to move two people down a hall and into a doorway when one was deep throating the other while hanging head down from that other's chest. As they passed through the opening he suddenly had to lean against the door frame and grab the top of the dresser for support as a massive orgasm caused the room to spin. When he could focus on Lyla Mae again, she was standing when had he put her down? and slowly pumping his semi-erect organ while grinning like a psychotic hyena. "You thank that'us a good'n, wait'll you git off in mah pussy," she said, her plaintive voice husky with desire. "Ah'll get off at th' same time, and you'll thank that there thunderstorm is a spring breeze. Ah shore am hungry for your lovin', Vince." He had only enough breath to groan in delight as he led her toward the four-poster bed. A flash of lightning illuminated something familiar on the bed, causing him to halt. Another flash confirmed it. His shirt and jacket were lying on the foot of the bed, looking like they'd just arrived from the London tailor. "Lyla Mae?" "The pants won't be ready until t'morrer mornin'," she said. "Ah'll put these over yonder in th' closet while you turn down th' covers." Maybe, he decided, they weren't as damaged as he'd thought. As he straightened from turning down the home-made quilts, made from one-inch squares of cloth in a wild variety of colors and patterns, Lyla Mae took a running step from the closet and sprang. She flew over the end of the hand-crafted walnut bed, twisting in mid-air to land on her back, her arms and legs wide. They sure knew how to make sturdy furniture back in the old days. "Vince! Ah'm horny! Do somethin'!" Her voice was a mixture of whining, pleading, and growling lust that he'd never heard in women years older than Lyla Mae. He buried his face in that perfect super-deluxe model twat and licked, despite the spinning of the room caused by her scent. His hands found her small breasts and fondled them gently, fingertips tweaking her nipples. In less than a minute she was forcing her heels into the mattress and arching upward on her shoulders. She let out a long, breathy "OH!" of pleasure and then clamped his head between her thighs as she dropped her butt to the mattress, squeezed his head tightly, and convulsed in multiple hard spasms. His mouth remained in place. His vibrating tongue briefly assaulted her clit and then fucked up into her depths. He repeated his actions for two minutes, creating an identical result at the end. "Gawd!" she moaned as she found her breath. "Kin you get me off like that with yore dick?" "I can try," he said, crawling across the bed and positioning himself over her. He should have brought a lantern. She looked rather pretty in the flashes of lightning. He didn't know if it was the whiskey or the arousal and, frankly, didn't care. She was sweet and she was fun. The idea of having turns with Charlene and Emmy Lou certainly was appealing, and he looked forward to having them, but he knew that Lyla Mae would be his choice for most future visits. She was as tight as he'd expected Emmy Lou to be, yet so drenched with her own juices that entry was without difficulty. "Fuck me," she begged. And that's when he remembered. "Lyla Mae, I'm not wearing protection. I don't want to get you pregnant." "You ain't gotta worry none about that," she said. "Ain't none of 'em ever wore no raincoat in th' shower." That didn't ease his anxiety one bit, but she gripped him with the muscles of her twat and rippled them up and down his shaft in a way he'd thought impossible. His mind began to unfocus with lust again. Well, if he did catch something from her, it would be worth it. He'd never had a woman who'd done one-tenth as much for him as this girl had already done, and the night was young. He twisted his head to catch a nipple in his mouth. She responded by locking her legs below his buttocks and humping furiously. If he wouldn't fuck her, then she'd fuck him. But she had asked him to do her. His hips began moving. The second time Lyla Mae came he heard a voice Charlene's, he thought also moaning in orgasm down the hall. Lyla Mae began pushing against his chest. He understood and rolled over on his back, bringing her impaled body around with him. She rose up on her knees and began slamming down around him, bringing him to the edge as he listened to Jake grunting louder and faster down the hall, the sound cutting off suddenly. As she went rigid and spasmed around him again, he lost control and spewed into her, slamming upward into her perfect twat as if he were trying to force his body into hers. When it was over she collapsed atop him. They lay there for a long time, cooing semi-words into each other's ears while he rubbed her sweaty back with one hand and fondled her pudgy-but-cute perfect butt with the other. In what seemed miraculous to Vince, he went soft. He managed to stay within her while lightning flashed and thunder boomed and rain poured down thick as lead. They drifted in and out of consciousness, babbling pillow talk into each other's ears for twenty minutes. Then Vince stiffened again. This time he took her doggie style, fucking for fifteen minutes until he could hold back no longer. In that time she came twice and, as best he could tell, Jake once, Charlene once, and Emmy Lou twice. He tipped sideways, causing his dick to slide out of the girl. "I didn't know I could cum that much," he said as his mind cleared. "Jest wait'll you come back fer that week next spring," she said with a giggle as she snuggled against him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Ah wouldn't complain none if'n you took me ever night." He kissed her nose and wondered how much she'd change from cute teenager to tub of lard in that time. Well, as long as that perfect twat stayed the same.... He didn't realize he'd dozed off until he awoke, still lying on his back. His dick was hard and in a pumping grip. The storm had passed, but the lingering clouds rendered everything almost totally dark. Lust was clouding his senses anyway as she stroked him. Only... Only the stroking hand was attached to an arm coming from his right side, while Lyla Mae was lying asleep at his left, her head on his arm. "Vince?" The whispering voice asked. "Vince, are y'all awake?" "Emmy Lou?" he whispered in reply. "Is that you?" "Yeah. Vince, ah need yew powerful bad. Ah gotta have it. Kin y'all do me?" He found the longing in her voice to be profoundly touching. "I promised your father that I wouldn't have anyone but Lyla Mae." "No yew didn't. Yew jest chose Lyla Mae. Y'all didn't give no promise or nuthin." She laid her hand along the shaft, with the heel of her hand at its head, and slid her hand down it, her fingers curling to cup his balls, then slid her hand back and repeated the movement. A whiff of the scent of her twat reached his nostrils and caused his head to spin with lust. "Maybe I didn't say it in so many words, but I implied it." She grasped the base and lifted him upright. He saw her head, silhouetted against the faint light of the window, descend. Her mouth enveloped the swollen head, and her tongue did tricks that neither Lyla Mae nor anyone else he'd experienced had ever thought of. When her mouth lifted free she placed the flat of her tongue against the underside and moved her head to slide it up and down the shaft. She stopped licking just long enough to whisper, "Ah want yew, Vince. Ah need yew. That's why ah helpt yew find us all safe-like when you wuz a'comin' o'er th' ridge." Her tone was one of desperation. "Y'all ain't gonna let me suffer 'cause yew be too skeert of Pa t'do nothin t'help me, are yew?" Unable to decipher the ridge part, he ignored it and concentrated instead on trying not to cum because of her oral ministrations. He guessed he was good only for another shot or two, and he wanted to launch those into a twat. A perfect twat. Again. She licked him and circled her tongue around the head. Her whisper became a mix of warning and desperation and sounded as if it belonged to a woman of many more years' experience than Emmy Lou. "Y'all are about t'cum, Vince. Yew wanna spurt it out to dribble over mah hand or shoot up inta mah pussy where it belongs? Yew thank Lyla Mae got a pussy what does tricks, wait'll y'all find out what mine does fer ya! Only don't wake Lyla Mae or y'all are gonna spout off in th' air 'fore she can git it inta her pussy." Another lick-and-swirl convinced him that her statement was a threat. "What about Jake?" "Y'all don't tell him, I don't tell him. We got us'ns a deal?" What the hell? He had already done one girl under eighteen. What difference did one more make, especially since the alternative was wasting a load on a hand job that he could do himself instead of enjoying a pussy fuck. And while this twat might not be perfect looking, it apparently knew more tricks than Lyla Mae's, if the girl was telling the truth. And Lyla Mae's perfect twat did things that he'd thought were impossible exaggerations found only in porn stories. "Deal." Emmy Lou kissed the head and crawled up beside him before swinging one leg across his body and impaling herself in one smooth motion. She was hot, wet, and exceptionally slick, helping him penetrate into the fiery tightness. He was mildly surprised that she took his entire length, but then her scent arrived and caused his head to spin with longing. She began fucking him with long, slow strokes of her body, yet something she was doing within her twat made it feel as if she were rapidly slamming herself onto him and as if she were sometimes twisting her body. He couldn't believe it, but she actually did know some tricks that he'd not received from the perfect twat. Her breathing changed as her passion built. Vince found the willpower to keep from shooting as he waited for her to cum. He quickly reached the point where he felt he had to either cum or die, but he somehow held off both as her panting ended with a sudden intake and strained groan. She spasmed around him, her voice fighting against her constricted throat. His own release triggered, almost rendering him unconscious in its intensity. And Lyla Mae moved beside him. "Vince?" she asked in a voice groggy with satiation. Still spewing his semen, he came fully alert when Lyla Mae suddenly screamed, "EMMY LOU! NO! YOU AIN'T SET FER HIM!" Emmy Lou's head, again silhouetted against the window, was thrown back in her ecstasy. With a sigh of pleasure her head snapped forward. The irises of her eyes glowed yellow in the dark shadow of her face, surrounding dark elliptical pupils that suddenly snapped closed to form narrow backward-"S" shapes. Multiple sharp pains stabbed intense agony into his groin. She suddenly became very heavy atop him. Her face plunged toward his and her mouth opened, exposing a triple row of lightly glowing needle- like blue-white teeth. ~ ~ ~ Jake folded his arms and glared down at Emmy Lou, who sat in contrite silence on one end of the couch and stared at a spot on the floor. Charlene, her right fingers drumming her upper left arm, stood trembling in fury at Jake's left. Lyla Mae, sitting on the opposite end of the couch, was crying into her bloody hands with unrestrained misery. Emmy Lou's forefinger traced an idle pattern in the blood smeared on one thigh, ignoring the folded clothes sitting on her other. She sighed with boredom. "Now, Emmy Lou," Jake finally said in a voice as sharp as a razor and with a glare every bit as cutting, "ah'm real disappointed in yuh. Vince wuz one o' th' nicest visitors we done had in a coon's age. He didn't deserve whut he got. Yuh coulda had yore turn with him any o'them next times he come t'visit, or maybe even termorra night if'n we coulda convinced him t'stay another day or two. And I suspects we coulda. "An' besides that, whut if someone come by and seen that broke-down car a-sittin' up thar? People would be comin' round looking fer pore ole Vince. Now, yuh go git it. Yuh put his clothes in it, then carry it down t'th' ravine and thow it in. Bury it under some rocks 'n' trees, an' then git'cher ass back here 'cause yore gonna clean up that there room and do all that laundry. And yore gonna do it as Nancy Jean and be her fer th' rest o' th' week, hear? No sass, now, young lady, or yuh'll be her until th' next time someone comes that wants Emmy Lou!" "Pa!" she whined. "Yew got any idea how much trouble it is bein' a blonde? An' I like bein' this age. Pussy hair makes my crotch itch. An' I HATE havin' big tits!" "Yuh shoulda thoughta all that 'fore yuh lured Vince in here fer yuhself in th' first place. Yuh knowed he'd get a choice, like ever other'n, and thet he might choose some other'n th' first time or two. But yuh done it, and then yuh talked him into doin' yuh, even though you wasn't set fer him, Lyla Mae was. Th' truth is, then, yuh ate him jest because he perferred Lyla Mae." "Ah jest wanted some variety in mah diet, Pa! Y'all are fillin' and all that, but it's like eatin' pork chops ever night for a month." "Well," Charlene growled, "it'll be at least a month b'fore Jessie comes back." Her mouth twisted into a cruel smile. "And when he does, he'll have a hankerin' for Nancy Jean." Jake's right hand held up what looked like a short, ancient piece of gnarled grapevine with three small, faintly glowing gems imbedded at equal intervals in one of the twisting crevices along its length. He placed the thumb over the reddish gem and shook the forefinger of his left hand at Emmy Lou. "Yuh oughta knowed after all these years thet ah'm gonna punish yuh one way or t'other whenever yuh misbehave, just like my Pa and Grandpa did. If'n yuh don't want t'be Nancy Jean, then ah kin allus send yuh back, permanent-like." He raised the twisted vine to emphasize the threat. "Ah thank it jest might be possible fer only two o' yuh t'stay here. And if'n it ain't, ah'd bet another might like t'take yore place here. "Now, go on! Go take care o' that car. And wake up them dad-blasted rattlesnakes on yer way!" As she stomped out the door he added, "And wait 'till yore off'n th' porch 'fore yuh change! I'm tired o'havin' t'replace broken boards!" Still scowling in fury, Jake retreated into the kitchen, picked up a sharp knife, and nicked his forearm. He collected a couple of drops of blood in a spoon, then, in fuming silence, took it and Charlene out to the shed to concoct more of the clear pink potion that would reset himself and that which was currently Lyla Mae for each other.
