Nathan and I took our freshly picked afternoon fucks to our usual spot and started fucking them, and I didn't bring up anal sex when Nathan didn't suggest it himself.

Nathan was busily eating his girl out while I was just toying with mine, feeding her her juices with my fingers and watching her lick them off erotically.

I was surprised when Nathan heard my sigh of discontent, but I was surprised even more by the realization I wasn't really enjoying myself anymore.

"Do you wish to trade now?" he asked after wiping his face and sitting up.

"Nah. I'm okay with this one yet," I said, leaning over to suckle on one of her breasts.

Nathan watched me a few moments, then decided to try the same thing with his, but a few minutes later it was his turn to give a discontented sigh.

We looked at each other, and I could see in his eyes we wanted to butt fuck her, but was... concerned I might get upset if he brought it up first.

Inspiration struck me just then, so I said, "I have an idea. Lets do a double penetration."

"You mean, both of us? With one girl?" he asked, unsure whether he liked the idea or not.

"Yeah. I'll take the front door, you take the back, okay?"

"But Amigo... It..."

"Come on... It's not against the rules, is it?"

"No..."

"Well, then what's stopping you?"

"It is just... I have never shared a girl before. I don't think I would like it."

I sighed, then said, "Fine. Fuck her ass by yourself then. I don't care."

I got up and left the three of them there, and when I was sure Nathan wasn't going to follow or object, I wandered away from their general location and found a secluded spot by a small stream under some trees.

I listened to the stream, the wind, the birds, the trees... It all seemed so pure. So good and innocent, well, except when I saw a bird swoop down and catch some kind of rodent taking a drink down the stream. But even that was... natural.

What the fuck did I think about? Shit. Everything I guess, but mostly I was trying to sort out what I wanted now that my dream of having unlimited use of my powers had finally come true.

I kept thinking about Selina, and how... special the time we spent together had been. I wasn't in love with her or anything, but I couldn't figure out why I wanted to do something... innocent like that again so much.

By the time Nathan finally contacted me to say he was ready to go back to town, I had concluded I was just tired of routine we had gotten ourselves into, and decided to talk to Nathan that evening about moving on.

But as I walked barefooted and naked across the open green grass with a beautiful view of the mountains nearby, I felt a knot in my throat form. This place, the people... I wanted to get away from it all. It was too beautiful to corrupt for my whims and pleasure any longer.

We were invited to eat with a popular and powerful family in the area, and to Nathan's delight they had a pair of teenage daughters who were very pretty and sweet. I waited until after we finished eating and had complimented the cook enough to the point of embarrassment, then signaled to Nathan I wanted to talk to him privately.

Nathan was visibly on edge as we followed a trail leading up to a grazing field, and I had to admit I guess I was too.

"Your country is very beautiful," I finally said.

"Se," he said with a hint of pride.

"Does it ever bother you that... Uhm... Never mind. Nathan, I really need a change of scene."

"What does this mean, change of scene?" he said confused.

"It means I need to go somewhere else. Some place different. A change of scenery."

"You wish to find another town?"

"No... I mean, yes, but..." I said before sighing, then stopped in my tracks from the sight of seeing the sun setting between two mountain crests.

"I don't understand, amigo. I did not make the girls sick by..."

"Look at that, Nathan," I said, forcibly turning his head towards the incredible sight. "This is why I want to leave. Not something you did that I didn't like, or some rule I think we broke. I just... feel like we're polluting this place. There has to be somewhere that the sunsets don't take your breath away."

"Joe, does the sun not set in your homeland?"

"Of course it does, but not like this. I mean, it's so... And between the mountains like that... And then there's the green fields, and..."

"Amigo, no offense, but I have seen pictures of your country, and it is very beautiful too. Perhaps you never took the time to look at it. But I can see you are not happy here any longer, so we shall go. My question to you is, where can we go that you won't find a sunset like this one?"

"I don't know... I guess someplace that's like back home. Or at least back in the states."

Nathan and I watched the sunset together, both of us chewing on a piece of the long grass while contemplating where to go. Even Nathan had to agree that it was a spectacular sight watching the shadows of the mountains grow towards us from below, then we marveled at how unreal the mountains seemed with the orange, then red, then purple light glowing from behind their black two dimensional shapes.

When we returned to the family's home, Nathan asked if I wanted to fuck the girls or not, then admitted he didn't either when I had said no.

We ended up fucking with them anyway. About an hour after everyone had gone to bed that night, Nathan and I were woken up by the girls sneaking into the guest room which they had talked their parents in offering to us.

Out of all the women and girls we fucked from that town, Rosalinde and Ria were the only ones who remember it. They were certainly no virgins. Their parents were very strict and uptight about appearances, but with four girls and three boys to raise while maintaining their social status, they hadn't realized their oldest girls had secretly rebelled and had been fucking the hottest boys in town since they entered their teens.

When Rosalinde was fifteen, Ria caught her fucking one of her boyfriends and blackmailed Rosalinde into teaching her about sex. Three years later, Ria demonstrated how good of a student she was as she deep throated Nathan while he ate her out from below.

Rosalinde, however, was still the master at the game. The four of us went outside so we wouldn't be heard, then Rosalinde and I went one direction and Nathan and Ria another. Nathan never learned that while Ria had never attempted anal sex before, Rosalinde had recently been introduced to it and insisted on it after our first round.

I let Rosalinde have her fun, finding her very aggressive and definitely a dominating lover. By the time she had worn herself out, I was fed up with always being on bottom, so I used my magic fingers to subdue her into letting me fuck her like I wanted to for a while.

Shit. Despite all the stuff I had tried to explain to Nathan about, her aggressiveness and dominating attitude really stirred my lust for total domination up.

Twenty minutes after we had thrown ourselves down in a pile of freshly cut hay, I flipped her onto her back, pinned her down by the shoulders, then bit the skin just above her right nipple hard enough to hurt but not break the skin.

She immediately began to struggle, the first trace of fear followed when I didn't let up. Rosalinde was surprisingly easy to break to my will, however, for most girls I had subdued into my sexual toys had been fairly conservative in sex. But this girl... Her aggressiveness was from her desire to feel sexual pleasure. So she responded very well to my orgasmic teasing which is what I use to break them into my happy sexual slaves.

Fuck, I loved watching their eyes while their spirit and fight slowly give way to their lust and desire for pleasure. It is all too easy to accidentally leave some resistance behind, and that's why I always had to resort to physical shocks like slaps and bites to squeeze the rest of their will out of them.

I laid there in the hay enjoying her worshiping my nipples with her tongue, thinking about where we could go, and how to talk Nathan out of going back to Gladius's keep. My hope was that once I introduce Nathan to the joy of breaking a girl's will like I had just done, he would embrace it enough that he wouldn't want to give it up.

Before going back to the house to get some sleep, I returned Rosalinde to her regular aggressive and dominating self, but didn't blank her memory of the event. She was very confused over what had happened, and was a bit scared of me the next morning, but yet part of her had wanted something like that, and I knew she would never be quite content with the regular sex again.

At some point during the night, Nathan returned and joined me in bed without waking me. When I awoke in the early morning, at first I didn't know where or when I was, for I instinctively snuggled up against his chest from finding his arm draped over me. Shit, the feeling was so familiar that I just wasn't thinking about what I was doing. I fell asleep again with my head up against his chest feeling... I guess feeling loved.

I woke up later when Nathan turned so he was on his back in his sleep. I was just about move to lay my head on top of his chest when I realized who it was and were we were. After that shock, I just got up and got dressed knowing I couldn't go back to sleep.

Nathan bounded up to me about an hour later while Rico, the youngest boy, was helping me with learning more Spanish.

"Buena mañana, compinche," I said carefully.

"Good morning to you too, amigo. Have you decided where we shall go?"

"Not really. Why? Do you have an idea?" I asked, already seeing he had.

"I believe so. It is a day's travel from here, but it is closer to home than we are now so we won't be going out of our way."

"You going to tell me or not?" I said before thanking Rico and sending him on his way.

"Si, but not until you tell me if you ever watched the sunrise over water."

"Over water? OH! You mean..."

"You have not answered my question," he said nodding and smiling.

"The sunrise? Well, yeah. I used to go to this summer camp that has this big lake. One year me and... a couple of my friends got up early to skinny dip and saw the sunrise while in the lake."

"So seeing the sunrise on the ocean would not disturb you?"

"Nathan, you are a genius!" I cried, wrapping an arm around his neck roughly as we started walking back to the house. "It's perfect! I've been to the beach several times back home, and a beach is a beach."

I let him go and we raced back to the house to get our stuff before heading back for town.

An hour later, we were riding in the back of a jeep who happened to be going our way. The haggard looking man had intended to whiz past us without stopping, but his foot for some reason had slipped off the petal and onto the brake just as he approached us. Then it was simply a mater of using his modesty and pride to get him to offer us a lift, but he wasn't very happy to have passengers on such a long trip.

If that jeep had shocks on it, I'd be surprised. But at least the back seats still had some cushioning left to them so our teeth weren't completely rattled out of our heads, but watching the containers of fuel jumping around at our feet didn't make it any less nerve racking.

That evening we stopped at a much larger village that was a half an hour from the beach. The hotel we checked into had electricity and even a TV in the lobby/bar, and after helping the guy refill the containers for his trip back the next day, we went straight to our room, took showers to get the fuel smell off us, then went to bed feeling every bone still rattling from the trip.

I was very careful to keep my distance from Nathan in bed that night. I nearly jumped out of my skin when his hand brushed across my bare chest in the middle of the night, then had trouble going back to sleep, fighting this strange desire to curl up behind him and share his bed space.

Nathan was the first up that morning, and while I slept he had our clothes washed, then had the housekeeper's two young daughters wake me up with a morning blowjob.

Despite the fact they weren't even ten yet, they did a great job, especially since I started going soft on them when I saw how young they were. Nathan had discovered that their father had taught them how to give head, and to them it was just some naughty game they play with him, and sometimes one of his friends.

The older girl won the game by swallowing the most, then once my head cleared, I got dressed and followed the girls back to Nathan and their mother.

Shit. Nathan was busy fucking their big fat mother doggy style, but the moment he saw me and the girls he stopped and walked right over to me with a smile on his face and her juices dripping off his stone hard cock.

"You like your morning wakeup call?" he said before the two girls started sucking his cock.

"Shit... Yeah, it was certainly a surprise too. You've been pretty busy this morning, haven't you?"

"Si," he panted. "Our clothes are clean, we will have mucho food to eat at the beach, and I have.... UNGHHHH!"

As I waited for the girls to finish sucking his load out, I went over to the woman who was still on her knees and examined her fat ass and cunt. I was surprised to see he hadn't fucked her ass, and wondered if he hadn't because of me.

"What was I saying?" he said from the floor.

"The clothes, the food, and something else," I reminded him as I had the woman stand up and pull her pants back up.

"Si. We have ride to beach," he said dazed like.

"Hopefully not in a jeep," I said, holding my hand out to help him up.

He grinned and accepted my hand, then after he was on his feet, he grabbed my arm and pulled me over to the window to see.

"What?" I asked, not seeing anyone around the ten or so vehicles parked outside in the dirt.

"That one. With the yellow door."

"Wasn't there someone else who could have given us a lift?" I said, not really enthused about riding in the back seat of a rusting Volkswagen bug.

"But we can now give ourselves a lift," he said sounding a bit hurt.

"You mean..."

"Si, we are now the proud owners of... pair of wheels?"

I laughed, then had had to slap him on the back to let him know I approved.

"So you will teach me?" he said as we made our way down the steps to go see our 'pair of wheels.'

"Teach you what?" I asked.

"How to... operate it?"

He started turning red when he saw my surprised expression, but then I grinned and said, "Nathan, by the time we reached the beach, you'll be doing doughnuts around a dime."

"This is good?" he said hopefully.

"This is very good," I confirmed just as we reached the car.

He opened the door for me, and I ignored the horrible creak it made seeing that at least the insides were... intact.

We spent a good ten minutes checking things out, and I psyched Nathan out when I opened the hood and screamed, "The engine! It's gone!"

My little joke worked a little too well, for it took me a couple of minutes to explain to him that bugs were build with the engines in the rear like that, and even then I'm not too sure he believed me.

After having shown him the engine, I started checking it out and getting a little worried at what I found.

I asked him to start it up, then after seeing he was very hesitant about doing so, I realized he didn't know how and asked for the keys.

"Keys?" he said a bit nervously.

"Yeah... Didn't whoever gave you this thing give you a key?"

"I did not talk to the previous owner. He is dead."

"Then who gave you the car?" I said frowning.

"No one. That is why we have no key."

After confirming there wasn't any official owner, Nathan's first lesson was how to hotwire a car. We fucked around with the engine trying to keep it from stalling on us, and shit... I had never seen oil like that before. The guy who ran the gas station and garage near the motel seemed to think it was okay, but I changed the oil anyway and it helped quite a bit.

We didn't get on the road until nearly three in the afternoon, and once Nathan had gotten comfortable with shifting and steering, we left the town and headed towards the beach.

Nathan kept both hands on the wheel at all times, and really I couldn't blame him since the car's steering was pretty shot. So when we turned onto a road that put the sun in his eyes, I put the visor down for him and we both nearly jumped out of our seats when something fell between his legs.

After having been scared shitless by this huge spider earlier in the car, Nathan slammed on the brakes and fell out of the car before I saw what it was and started laughing my ass off.

Even Nathan saw the humor when I picked the key up off the floorboard and showed it to him. Shit, I think we had more fun driving around in that piece of shit car than we did at the beach. Well, maybe not.

The beach... Well, it wasn't like how I had imagined it. I figured it would be big, flat, and lots of sand, just like the other beaches I had been too or seen. Oh, there was sand all right. But it was a gulf beach rather than an ocean beach, and with the mountains being so near, there were a lot of cliffs and rocks all along the length of the untamed shore.

We took our time checking out the different beaches along this small gulf, and found one I thought would work great. Most of the beaches only had a few paths down to them from the road, and at one particular location, there were two beaches on either side of a very large solid looking cliff that jutted out into the water quite a ways.

The beach on the side facing the gulf's mouth was very rocky with very little sand, while the other side's beach was just the opposite. That cliff was made out of a different color of rock than the rest, and its stubborn defiance against the sea's corrosive waters caused a large amount of sand to get stuck behind it, making a very large sandy beach there.

So here we had a nice deserted beach right next door to a popular and well used one. I felt like I was a bank robber renting the building next door so I could dig a tunnel and rob them without ever taking a gun through the front door.

We set up camp on the deserted beach about a fifteen minutes walk from what appeared to be the only path leading down there. Until high tide came and went did we feel confident that our site was high and dry enough to leave it, then we left it all set up to find our fucks for the night.

Oh man, we were in seventh heaven checking out all the babes on the beach. Shit, I guess that was exaggerating it a bit too much since there was only six women who weren't either too young or not single. Oh, don't get me wrong. We didn't have any problems with fucking a married woman, or in Nathan's case, he wouldn't hesitate to try out a little girl. But there wasn't any need to since there were those six which fell into our preferred category, and let me tell you, I liked every one of them enough to fuck them on the spot.

I didn't though. Fuck them on the spot I mean. I let Nathan take his pick first since it had been his idea to come here, then after getting ourselves invited to a group's dinner on the beach, we took our 'dates' over to our camp.

The two girls were completely thrilled to go see our campsite, but beyond this mental suggestion, I had not done anything to make them our slaves. Nathan knew I was up to something, and his trust in my... experience in such things kept him from taking his girl over and fucking her like his sister.

After reaching the camp, the two late teen bikini clad sex pots started wondering why they had wanted to come with us so bad and was just about to insist they go back when I winked at Nathan and put his girl to sleep.

Nathan was a little surprised, but waited patiently as my girl started to get scared. I grinned at him and said, "You're gonna love this, I know it," before suddenly seizing my complaining toy and manhandling her a bit.

God she was hot. I mean, her skin was literally hot feeling, and after tripping her and falling on top of her, knocking the wind out of her so she couldn't scream again, I started using my pleasure tease thing with an added sense of heat to my touch.

After pacifying her enough that she was starting to enjoy my licks and kisses, I felt Nathan probing her to see what I was doing to make her like this. I bit her tongue just as I surged the strength of my pleasure tease, and clearly heard Nathan's gasp through the cry from my soon to be fuck bitch.

Nathan watched me work my toy into her passive state two more times before deciding to try it for himself. When he couldn't stop her from screaming, he gave up and just took her will the old fashioned way, wasting the chance of having a virgin as his first time like that.

About an hour later, I collapsed beside Nathan and his mindless fuck slut, and before he could ask about her, my new fuck toy came crawling on top of me and started worshipping my chest with her tongue like I liked.

I watched Nathan's expression while he scanned my toy's mind, then grinned at him when I saw his slut realize his hardon had returned and move down to suck it a while.

I explained in great detail how I did it and told him some stories about some of the first girls I had tried it on, all while watching the sky darken and the stars start to pop out.

First thing the next morning, Nathan undid the commands he had used on his pick, then watched very closely as I broke her to my will like the other. Shit, after we took them back to the other beach and let them go, I think I was as excited as Nathan was at finding another girl so he could try it again.

Three girls later, Nathan and I had reached a new level in male bonding. Nathan had insisted on keeping the girls he did for a day or two, and we both got a big kick out of the lesbian orgy at the campfire that night. I felt really close to Nathan, in some ways closer than I had ever been with Tim. Nathan had trusted me and let himself enjoy the admittedly dark pleasures I had yearned to share with Tim from even before Steven had known of us.

We spent the entire next day breaking in girls together, and Nathan even suggested a threesome which I accepted without a second thought. Shit, that was cool. I loved feeling his dick moving in and out of her ass as I did the same to her cunt. It made the whole trip seem so complete, and was only disappointed a little bit when he complained it was too much work to do again right away.

We were getting a little sick of each other by that evening, however, but came to a mutually accepted agreement that we just needed to go off and have some fun on our own the next day.

After agreeing to meet back at the camp around noon, we went to the other beach the next morning and went in separate directions. I quickly found a nice twenty year old blonde woman that while she wasn't a looker, she at least wasn't dark haired like the rest of the girls there were.

I broke her in record time, fucked her cunt until she bled, then after getting my kicks out of her licking the red juices from my cock and then from her own cunt, I found myself very... tired of all this mindless fucking around.

I spent about an hour thinking about what I wanted to do after we left the beach for good, then found myself feeling sleepy from all the morning's activity.

I awoke with a start at what I thought was someone whispering my name in my ear. The first thing I noticed was how quite the beach was without the crashing of the waves and the cry of the seagulls. Then I realized it wasn't daylight any more, and I could see a bright white light reflecting off the calm water.

But when I tried to rollover, I realized things were not as they seemed. I couldn't move, and the light was apparently moving.

I used to scoff at people who were afraid of ghosts. I was like, what's scary about someone who's dead and transparent? I mean, I didn't believe in them anyway, but if they did exist, I figured they couldn't actually do anything otherwise they would have done more than rattle chains and stuff.

Well I was scared shitless when I saw Tim's face floating in the middle of a column of light. He looked at me with this sad expression and a disappointed look in his eyes for what seemed like forever, then finally he opened his mouth and said "Why" in a windy airy whisper.

I knew exactly what he meant, and my fear dropped away as my blood began to boil.

"Because I want to, that's why!"

My change of attitude shocked him a moment, then his expression changed to one of determination before he whispered, "Stop."

"Fuck you," I attempted to snarl. "I don't have to do a fucking thing you say. You can't hurt me. You can't make me stop."

His airy response was, "..haunt you."

I then suddenly remembered what Tim had done during one of his dreams with Michael, and commanded my body to roll over.

Just as I suspected, the column of light came from the coin which was laying on top of my clothes. I looked at back at him and saw in his expression I had it all.

With great difficulty, I commanded my body to crawl over to clothes, and as I reached over to grab the glowing white coin, I had a twinge of guilt about what I had said last time.

I stopped, looked over at his unhappy face, then said, "Go rest in peace, Tim. I don't want or need you to be my guardian angel."

To my surprise, he smiled a moment, but then put on a determined face again and said, "... glad Suzi never got to see you like this."

"ARRRG!" I screamed as I grabbed the coin and tried to crush it.

I woke up on the beach with my new slave attempting to ask me why I was crying. It took me a moment to sort out exactly where I was, then felt the sharp pain in my hand from holding the coin too tight.

I had crawled over to the clothes just like in my dream. I instantly started having doubts about whether the dream had been real or not, but when I looked at the coin and saw the man's face on it, I knew it had been real just from the expression he had.

I got so angry I was shaking, and after commanding my toy to remain in case Nathan showed up, I got dressed and headed off to find a nice cliff that wasn't near people.

I walked for nearly twenty minutes before finally finding a cliff overlooking the water, and in that time I guess I had walked off a lot of my steam. Out of pure stubbornness, however, I found a way from the beach up to the cliff, then stood there a long time watching the water below.

My intention was to throw the coin off the cliff and condemn Tim to go to hell again, but I couldn't help feel depressed for I he had been right about one thing. It was a good thing Suzi couldn't see me now.

I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, then did a double take when I confirmed that someone was down on the beach to my right.

Again, I was shaking, but this time it was from pure shock and not anger. For below me was the very person I had just been thinking about. Suzi. It was Suzi.

I got down on my hands and knees, or more like fell since my legs were very wobbly at the time, and crawled carefully over to the edge with my heart pounding in my ears.

I reached the edge in time to see her drop something, and to my shock I recognized it to be her bikini top.

Somewhere behind the rocks blocking part of the beach from my view, I heard a voice call out. Suzi responded by hurrying her walk, hopping at one point as she slipped off her bikini bottoms, then disappeared from my sight.

I strained my ears to hear what was going on until I recognized the sounds of sex, or more accurately, the sounds of a sex slave pleasuring her master.

I nearly lost my head by attacking whoever it was right then, but then the training Tim and I had put ourselves through the year before kicked in.

I constructed a fake personality and put a cloak around the coin while making my way back down to the beach. The waves seemed much louder at sea level, and as my cloaked self started jogging down the beach, I was worried they might have already left for I hadn't heard another sound from them.

As I passed the rocks which Suzi had disappeared behind, I was relieved to hear some faint talking from behind another group of rocks beneath a low crumbling cliff. I only got a flashing glance from the corner of my eye as I jogged by their spot, and then I was busily trying to decide what to do next having seen there were two men, not one.

I was just about to drop the cloaking personality when I felt it being scanned. It was so light and happened so fast, I was starting to wonder if I had imagined it, but then a few moments later a much more powerful scan of my fake self's mind began.

Like a search light zeroing in on its target, the mind behind the scan traced many of the cracks in my hastily assembled cloak, and just as I realized what they were doing, my fake personality was shattered with a single well directed command.

I tumbled to the ground, striking my knee on a rock and landing with my left wrist bent back to far. I was so stunned by the attack and result of my fall, I didn't think to raise my mental shields or anything until I felt the mind touch mine again.

As the powerful mind scanned me, I braced myself for enslavement, almost welcoming it from the passing thought that I would share it with Suzi. But then suddenly the mind stopped its scanning and... left me there without inserting a single command into my real mind.

I think a wave must have sprayed some mist on me before I snapped to my senses and took in my surroundings again. I was laying on my side, on the beach, my bum knee propped up, holding my left wrist with my right hand... and I was totally alone, mentally and physically.

Shit, I was almost too scared to move. Whoever the telepath was, he was definitely more powerful than I was, and apparently didn't consider me to be enough of a threat to bother enslaving when he had the chance.

Then I heard footsteps coming from the direction of their hiding place. I held my breath until I realized the steps were going in the opposite direction.

I risked moving so I could see what was going on, and watched the hulk of a man walk around the rocks, probably going up the other path I had noticed when I was going up to the cliff.

I moved into a sitting position after waiting a few minutes to see if he was coming back right away, and as I tried brushing sand out of the bleeding scrape on my knee, I was startled to hear the distant sound of a motorcycle starting up and speeding away.

For a few moments I considered leaving, but I couldn't bear the thought of leaving Suzi like that. I was tempted to scan her to see what all he had done to her, but I was still feeling my vulnerability to this man's power and skill. Whilst I was considering the possibility that he could have been testing me or otherwise just toying with me, a young woman with red hair and conservative dress walked around the corner from where the large man had disappeared.

For a moment I considered warning her, but when she saw me, she immediately looked in the direction where Suzi and the powerful voice were before sighing and heading towards me.

"Hola, puede I estar de ayuda?" she queried when she was within ten yards of me.

"I'm, uhm... no seguro?" I said after racking my brain for a Spanish word or phrase that was appropriate.

"Vous parlez français? Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" she asked after a mild hesistation.

"English, actually," I said when I found my voice.

She smiled, and for a moment I was enchanted by her bright green eyes.

"Are you hurt?" she said with an accent as she got down on her knees in beside me.

"I fell," I managed to say.

"Indeed," she said while examining my knee carefully.

"It's not broken or anything," I said when her fingers began to probe my kneecap gently.

When she continued, I sighed a little before leaning back to give her more room.

"It just hurts and... OUCH! Shit," I gasped as my wrist painfully reminded me it also had been hurt in the fall when I tried to support myself with it.

I bumped my head on another small rock when I fell back to take the weight off my hand, then was torn between rubbing my wrist and the new lump on my head having only one good hand to rub with.

The decision was made for me, for the young woman took my hand and started feeling it like she had with my knee, and if it hadn't been rather soothing, I would have taken it away from her like my instincts told me I should.

"My name is Zoe," she said after I had relaxed. "Have you a name?"

"Uhm, Joey... No! I mean Joe," I blundered out.

"You must have hit your head very hard," she said with a slight smile.

"I only just now bumped it, and it wasn't that hard," I corrected.

"Then why do you not know your name?"

"Oh. Heh..." I said, feeling very stupid.

There was a short period of silence between us, and as she soothed the pain in my wrist with her gentle fingers, my mind wandered briefly until my eyes fell upon the crumbling cliff.

She noticed my stare, and then saw the look of fear in my eyes when I glanced at her before looking out on the sea.

I suspected something was up when she seemed distracted for a minute while silently continuing her wrist rub, so when her attention returned to me, I said, "Uhm, it feels better now. Thanks," and gently withdrew my hand from hers.

"You here for a vacation? My father and I are too. I lived here when I was a child, so whenever my father and I can, we come back here for vacation and see family. It is very hard being away from family. Do you not think so?"

"Yes, very hard," I gulped, then got a hold of myself. "Uhm, thanks for your help and all, but you see... Uhm, I know you know how I fell, and I'm pretty sure you know why I'm still here. Your... father has somebody very special to me and..."

"A moment, please," she said holding her hand up. "Joey, I do not know how you fell, but I have very strong idea. We go see my father and straighten this out, okie dokie?"

"Okie?.. Uhm, okay," I said uncertainly.

Once I was on my feet, she made sure I could walk okay before leading me to the rocks and going in first exclaiming, "Pa-pa! Why did you send Oscar away? And why did you attack this boy? Él no es ninguna amenaza a nosotros."

I completely missed his response due to the great relief and simultaneous disappointment of finding the girl who I had nearly been enslaved for was not Suzi, but a stranger after all.

She was damn close though. Suzi's a... You realize I have to be careful how I word this or I'll have hell to pay... Shit... Anyway, Suzi is what I would call a BMW kind of girl. Smaller in size than the average American model, but has all the curves and features you'd want or need. And that petite body of hers can really maneuver due to all that horsepower packed under her hood.

I know I'm getting off topic, but I can't stop thinking about this one time when Tim, Suzi and I were in the shower together... I think it was right before Suzi left for England the summer after our freshman year. Shit... Anyway, Tim and I were playing this game we appropriately named "drop the soap" where we tossed this bar of soap back and forth until one of us drops and has to retrieve it. You might be surprised to learn we played this game honestly since we both wanted to be the fucker and the fuckee and this was a fun way of choosing who is what first.

Suzi had declined to play before we had started, so Tim and I were just tossing the soap back and forth, being careful not to foul the other up with any off center shots. Tim and I were just talking about what we'd do different if the other guy drops the soap, and I guess because we had played that game so much by that time, we had gotten pretty good at it do so it took us a while.

Anyway, Tim tried to catch it with one hand while scratching his neck. He accidentally grabbed the soap too tight and it popped out of his hand. I swear to God that it hit Suzi right on the crack of her ass, and if either of us had been holding the soap just then, we would have both dropped it from watching Suzi bend over with a moan and seeing her rose opened up right before our eyes.

Shit. Tim and I just looked at each other before Suzi moaned out she wanted us both. We ended up fucking her like a merry-go-round, for every minute or so she had us turn her so we were fucking her other hole. She wore us out, then had the nerve to complain how we talked her into fucking in the shower again after just having her hair done. Shit. After that, Tim and I kept our mouths shut while playing "toss the soap."

Fuck, where was I? Oh yeah. Nana.

Her name was Nana, although I didn't know that at the time. Nana was definitely a Cadillac. I say that because she was bigger boned than average, but in such a way that it didn't make her look any less feminine. She had all the right curves in the right places, and her really firm and larger than average sized breasts only amplified the femininity about her.

Nana's face was very similar to Suzi's, giving me the strange impression that she was what Suzi would look like if you flattened her face out a bit to fit on a larger head.

The hair length was also similar, but now that I had a closer look, I could see it was rather wavy instead of straight. It gave her hair a fuller look than Suzi's did when she had it down like that.

My attention was jolted away from Nana when my right hand reached into my shirt and pulled my coin out by the necklace it was attached to, without my telling it to.

"HEY!" I protested as my eyes focused on the coin and examined it very closely.

"Pa-pa..." Zoe said warningly.

"Hush, child," the man croaked. "Don't you see what he has?"

"Pa-pa!" she said impatiently. "Usted lo está asustando"

"You're not scared, are you boy? You know exactly what I'm doing... Zoe! All right!"

I missed whatever Zoe had done to her father, but my hand and eyes were under my control again the next instant.

"Gracias," I said to her before taking a closer look at her father.

Now I understood why he had taken control of my eyes like he had. His baby blue eyes stared straight ahead without seeing, and despite the dark brown coloring of his hair, I sensed he was much older than he wanted to appear. More like Zoe's grandfather than her father.

I sensed no probes from him, no scans or other telepathic monitoring of my mind. Yet while I studied his face, he turned his head to show me his profile, and I knew from that he was still looking through my eyes.

"Pa-pa, what was wrong with Oscar? Do not say his size was too small. I have never seen one any larger," Zoe insisted.

"And that's exactly what was wrong, child! He was too big! What good would it do me to stretch Nana so large that I can't enjoy her with the next fool I use."

"Oh, Pa-pa... I thought Oscar was exactly what you wanted."

"I know that, my dear," he said tenderly. "He was a wonderful birthday gift. You shouldn't take my ramblings so seriously."

"You don't fool me an instant, Pa-pa. I know you love the chase more than the control. That is why you attacked Joey, is it not? You were bored?"

The man chuckled, the turned to me and said, "Careful of this one, boy. She does not have voice like you and I, but she can see right through us never the less."

Nana stood up next to him and helped him to his feet before he said to me, "I admit when I first saw you jogging by I intended to use you like I was using Oscar, but when I touched your... shadowed mind, I was... mildly amused. Very few voices ever develop such... ingenious defenses. Zoe, would you believe that I even have difficulty reading his thoughts?"

"Indeed?" she said, giving me a surprised smile. "It is rare to find someone who impresses you, Pa-pa."

"Impresses me?" he snorted. "Don't be ridiculous! He's just an immature child with a little more resourcefulness than the average moron! Just two hours ago he was down the beach raping a young woman's mind! I wouldn't be surprised if he ran away from home after his family rejected his conduct. Hah! I was right!"

"Fuck you!" I roared. "If I'm a fucking child, then so are you! You don't just toy with women, but men too!"

The man chuckled again, then said to Zoe, "I remember saying something similar to your great grandfather when I was his age."

He then turned to me, held out his hand and said, "I apologize for calling you a child, Joey. And I'm sorry for treating you like one like my grandfather had with me. You may call me Benjamin."

"Uhm, then I guess I'm sorry for.."

"Apology accepted," he said joyfully. "Now my boy, you must join us for lunch and tell us where you got that treasure hanging about your neck."

I blinked a few times taking that in, then said, "Well, I really can't stay much longer. I'm supposed to be..."

"Meeting your friend Nathan, yes... Oscar went to fetch him. They should be arriving any time now."

"Oh, Pa-pa..." Zoe sighed.

"Really, I think I better..."

"Nana, would you please be so kind to begin serving us our meal? There will be six altogether. We did bring enough food, didn't we?"

"Oui, master."

"Look! I'm sorry, okay? I don't want to stay! Thank you for your offer, but I will be going now!" I said, moving to leave.

"You don't seem to understand, my young friend. I simply won't take no for an answer."

A chill went down my spine when he said that, and when I looked over to Zoe for support, I saw she wasn't about to interfere on my behalf in this case.

So I did the only thing my seventeen years of life had prepared me for for such cases of injustice. I turned around, kicked the sand as I sat down, then... pouted with an defiant expression on my face like any teenager would.

Zoe acted like she was enjoying the sunshine, and despite the fact I was dead set on not enjoying myself, she and I chatted somewhat friendly about what we liked about her homeland.

Nathan and Oscar arrived shortly after Nana set up the blanket to place the food on. Benjamin had programmed Oscar to fool Nathan into believing I had sent him, so Nathan was a bit surprised to learn I was not having lunch with these people out of my own free will.

"What are your intentions, sir?" Nathan immediately asked. "I must warn you we are protected by..."

"Yes, yes. Gladius is an old... acquaintance. Do not worry yourself, young voice. I have no reason to harm either of you. Your friend here has an interesting trinket that I am very interested in, and I simply wish to here how he obtained it."

"I already told you, it was a gift!" I snapped. "A friend of mine found it at a coin shop and another frie... acquaintance of mine bought it and gave it to me."

"You seem to value it very much, yet you were contemplating throwing it off that cliff earlier?" Benjamin said carefully.

"Shit. This is just all a big game to you, isn't it. You didn't just happen to see me jog by. I bet..."

"A GAME!" he laughed. "Zoe, my dear. Do I play games with people? Answer honestly."

She raised both eyebrows while considering her answer, then said, "Yes, Pa-pa, you do."

"Ha!" I said when Benjamin's expression went sour from the opposite answer which he had expected.

"Well, I wasn't playing a game this time," he grumbled loudly. "I may have retained some of my sense of humor from my youth, but I don't play foolish games on people just for the fun of it."

"Then tell him what you want so they can both be on their way," Zoe said patiently, watching a pair of seagulls fight over a piece of bread she had thrown them.

"Yeah, what do you want from us?" I asked accusingly.

I was startled when he turned towards me, looking me in the eyes with those baby blue yet sightless eyes, and squinting slightly in a warm friendly manner.

"I was once like you, believe it or not. Very much like you. And I too had a coin just like yours. But I gave it to the first woman I fell in love with, and after we went our separate ways, I always regretted not having asked for it back.

"Nana here strongly resembles someone you care about very much. Now before you get angry again, I did not invade your privacy by seeing who this person was. But I suspect you believe you no longer have any kind of future with her?"

I had lowered my eyes to the picnic blanket when he had mentioned Suzi, and sensing he wanted an answer despite the personal nature, I just nodded my head without looking up.

"Nana has been my personal assistant for three years now, and I am quite reluctant to part with her for it takes a considerable amount of time to train them as good as this. But I would like to offer you a trade. Nana for your coin."

"I don't know..." I instantly said, picking it up from against my chest to examine again. "I mean, if you haven't been able to find one in all this time..."

"You didn't seem that worried about needing it again up on that cliff," he reminded me.

"Yeah I was," I said. "I would have thrown it off the instant I had gotten up there if I hadn't been."

I sighed, then looked over at Nana who was patiently waiting for us to finish eating without any concern over our discussing her fate. My eyes started to tear up thinking about how closely she resembles Suzi, and suddenly I felt desperate to hold her in my arms and love her...

I realized that this was my only chance to have the one thing I thought I had sacrificed in my quest of power. So what if she wasn't Suzi. She looked like her, and maybe that would be enough to satisfy my... loneliness. The coin had its uses, but I knew it could never make me happy like maybe Nana could.

Without looking away from Nana, I pushed my coin out of the rubber ring holding it, then after deactivating its cloak, I closed my eyes and felt out the symbols being emitted from it one last time.

I felt very calm and sure of myself when I opened my eyes again. I felt like this was a step towards letting the past go and the beginning of something better. In fact, I had a strong desire to return to Gladius's keep and work for him now that I had found my slave. At least I would a purpose in life while I was there.

After concluding the trade, Nana collected her things while Oscar took over cleaning up our lunch mess. Nathan hadn't spoken more than a dozen words the entire time, and even after we left and made our way up the beach again, he was very quiet.

My blonde haired slave was still waiting for us when we reached that part of the beach, and after Nathan indicated he'd like to have her himself for a while, I telepathically reconditioned her to be just like she had been before I had met her, then got a kick out of Nathan chasing her around the beach for a while.

Nana was patiently waiting beside me wearing shorts and a mini-top, and for some reason I felt nervous about starting anything with her right then.

But when Nathan finally caught up his new toy and pinned her to the ground while she screamed, I turned to Nana feeling ashamed of what she was seeing, then got lost looking in her open and trusting eyes.

I kissed her gently on the lips, and enjoyed her hesitant response because it was so real. I don't know how long I spent just studying her face, caressing it, kissing her one in a while before finally temporarily convincing myself that I was with the real Suzi, and that I loved her.

We took our time in our foreplay, and I was momentarily disturbed by Nathan's intruding eyes as I penetrated her the first time, but then lost myself in bliss of making love.
