Chapter 15:  Cate and Gail Get Their Chance

Cast List

Previous Chapter

Alex awoke in one of his favorite positions, lying flat on his back with a beautiful woman cuddled up on either side of him. He took in their faces and saw they seemed happy. He knew it was putting a strain on them both to keep pretending they weren’t attracted to him for the last week. Unfortunately, he knew the act would have to continue for the indefinite future. He also knew that he and Gail could argue all they wanted to, but there was no way they’d be able to convince Cate to open up about their incestuous relationship. He figured they’d just have to weather these challenges on a day to day basis, and there didn’t appear to be any quick fixes.

“So what’s up, boss man?” Gail whispered to him, her head still nestled against his chest.

“You were awake?” he asked.

“Yeah, I was just enjoying cuddling with you before anything started. I noticed your heartbeat quickening, but I didn’t want to disturb either you or the peaceful quiet until after you’d awakened.”

“Speaking of peaceful quiet,” Cate grumbled, nestling in a little tighter against her brother.

“Sorry,” Gail whispered an apology, but it was for naught. After trying to settle back into her sleep, Cate finally gave up a few moments later. Feeling restless, she searched out Alex’s crotch and wrapped her hand around his erection. However when he flinched she looked up, concerned.

“Sorry, but it’s getting a little sore. I’ve been using it a bit much lately, and as much as I appreciate the attention, it’s only made of plain old flesh and blood,” he explained.

Feeling properly chastised, Cate removed her hand and leaned up, kissing her brother good morning.

“Sorry about that. We didn’t mean to wear you out, but I appreciate you taking the time with us last night. I guess you’ll have to take a sick day from your daily visit to Hannah’s clinic, huh?”

“Yeah,” Alex responded, ruffling Cate’s hair, “I may be able to manage if I have to, but the idea of manhandling myself isn’t something I’m looking forward to.”

“We need to get moving,” Gail warned them, stretching as she glanced up at her employer. “Sarah, Emma and their relatives said they were going to stop by this morning to fix us breakfast.”

“Yeah, before we went to bed I also sent a message to Patricia and Rose and her boyfriend, so we’ll have a few others as well,” Alex replied.

“Rose?” Cate asked, getting confused when she didn’t recognize the name. She knew there was a huge amount of faces to keep track of, but she’d been doing pretty good keeping up until then.

“I may not have mentioned her by name,” he explained. “She arranged to record Albert’s TV show yesterday. Or rather, her boyfriend did. I thought it would be good for us to review it to see what troubles we may have before we head out today.”

“Well, you’d better get started before everyone gets here. If they come in before you have any clothes on I suspect your poor dick will get even more of a workout,” Gail advised him. “I’ll join you in a minute, I’m going to start the coffee machine so it’ll be brewed by the time we finish.”

So Alex and his sister reluctantly got up, although Cate’s cute butt certainly got Alex moving as he followed it into the shower. He was midway through doing Gail’s hair when the buzzer sounded announcing their visitors had arrived. He’d found his penis didn’t hurt as much when it was jacked with a well sudsed hand.

“I’ll get it, you two finish up,” Cate offered, “I’m not going to get much more use out of this dick, so there’s not much sense in me playing with it for much longer.” They each laughed as Cate climbed naked and dripping out of the shower to go buzz their guests in.

“Just make sure...” Gail started to say as Alex was soaping up her butt.

“That I check to make sure who it is?” Cate finished for her. “Don't worry, Gail, I know how to do this by now.”

By the time Alex and Gail finished showering, dried and dressed, they found the kitchen busy and the dining room table set when they entered the main room of the apartment. Everyone insisted on hugging Alex and the others as well. As focused as they were on Alex, the visitors recognized just how valuable Cate and Gail were in the whole process. Gail might not say a lot, since she was always on the lookout for potential trouble, but she had the practical experience with the visions and with the others in the community that she used to help the newbies. Although none of the women here now were Seers, they’d still learned a lot from her experience.

The other guests arrived just before breakfast was served, and it was quite a feast. The women had been warned about Alex’s appetite, so they’d prepared a substantial amount. Although Cate constantly had to worry about taking care of Alex, she was grateful that someone else was pushing him to eat for a change. She got tired being the ‘pushy broad’. She hardly wanted to switch from incestuous sister to bitching mother, so she tried to not nag too much, but it was hard motivating Alex to take proper care of himself. For as concerned as he was with everyone else, he wasn’t as focused on his own health.

As enjoyable as breakfast was, everyone was anxious to see what had happened yesterday. So while the girls hurriedly cleaned up the dishes, Alex being refused admittance to the kitchen after Cate informed the others how helpless he was in there, Rose and her boyfriend Brian set up the laptop they’d brought along with them to display the video. Fortunately it had a large screen so everyone could see, even if they had to pack in to get only a partial view.

The recording and the presentation by Albert Rodriguez were quite professional and well done. Albert presented a folksy face, dressing just as eccentrically as always, which seemed to be his signature. He recapped the stories that he’d previous reported about Alex some months back, before describing the stories that had been circulating about his return. He finished with a description of Alex’s miraculous healing of Mattie, which was presented just as Alex had planned, as a positive feel-good story that showed it was hardly a miracle cure, merely an improvement on a bad situation. He followed it up with an interview of Mattie, where she explained what she could and couldn’t see, leaving out any mention of her seeing auras. When asked about Alex, always referred to as ‘the supposed Angel’, she was positive but not overflowing. Alex thought she did an excellent job of it, as she made it sound quite ordinary despite what it had done for her.

Albert then went on, describing what had been happening as a result of these events. He showed the clip that Cate had shot of the protest crowd confronting Mattie, then it switched to other videos that Alex hadn’t seen, showing other church protests. There were signs proclaiming “No Atheist is going to tell me who is saved”, “Only those that believe can be truly saved”, and “God doesn’t speak to nonbelievers”.

Patricia spoke up, saying that most of the videos were recorded by the various Watchers and Seers who’d been assigned to watch the protests.

Most of the protests were peaceful, apart from the one Alex, Cate and Gail had witnessed, although the language used tended to be angry, and leaned towards the hate filled more than the loving or forgiving. After showing several sequences and brief interviews with the participants, Albert provided a summary, telling everyone that “this Angel doesn’t seem to be hurting anyone, or forcing his views on anyone. In fact he seems to be reluctant to even express his own views. Yet the organized reactions to him are hardly as Christian as this atheistic Angel’s has been. They’ve shown themselves to be defensive, reactionary and unwilling to consider any alternative views to their own. Frankly, I see troubles ahead when these groups finally start to interact with the growing presence of Alexandrians (as he referred to Alex’s followers). For as peaceful as I’ve found this particular Angel to be, I can’t assume his many followers will allow themselves to be pushed around for long.”

After the show ended they each sat and thought about what they’d seen. It was hardly the hard hitting exposé that everyone had feared, and it was directed much more against the established churches than it was against Alex and his followers, but the reactions of the protesters disturbed everyone watching. Alex took Albert’s words to heart. These people could present a very real threat to his many followers, and he wasn’t sure how to prevent the inevitable encounters that were sure to develop in the coming months.

Brian then showed some more videos that had been collected by Patricia and Alex’s people. These showed even more confrontations than the TV broadcast had, including several between church members and innocent bystanders, some escalating into shoving and shouting matches. It didn’t exactly make Alex feel very warm and fuzzy.

When it was over, Brian helped dissipate some of their frustration by taking their minds off the issue, as he offered Alex a copy of the DVD and offered to upload the video to Cate’s iPad for later viewing.

“I thought you couldn’t do that?” Cate asked.

“Well, the way they’re set up by default, if you plug them into anything other than your home computer it’ll erase everything on it. But I can reset that behavior so all you have to do is drag and drop anything you want onto it. Just don’t try to Sync it to anyone else’s computer,” he warned her.

“You know, Brian,” Alex said, “Rose mentioned earlier that you’re having a hard time finding a decent job. If you can apply your knowhow about getting everyday electronics to work, I suspect we’ve got a fair number of people in our community who could use your services. If you use that to boost your training, possibly taking a few courses, you could probably parlay it into a fulltime job opportunity.”

Brian, an older man probably in his 30s or 40s (older to Alex at least), seemed surprised by the offer. He looked at Rose, a younger woman who looked excitedly at him. She was happy Alex was including him, since she’d been having some trouble convincing him this whole ‘movement’ thing was legitimate.

“Wow, that’s quite an offer. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve it but...”

“What you’ve done to deserve it is demonstrate that you know what you’re doing, as well as how helpful you can be to people who want to figure this stuff out. I’m sure there’s a sizable market for that kind of expertise. If this isn’t quite your cup of tea, you can use it temporarily to get started on something else. Either way, you’ll help those that could use your experience, and yourself as well.”

“Well, thanks. I can hardly refuse an offer like that. Part of my problem getting hired is that my skills aren’t quite up to date enough for a professional job, but I could certainly help out here and there, and if I could take specialized training I could really establish myself.”

“Good, then consider yourself hired. I’m sure Patricia can spread the word about your services. I’m sure there are quite a few people needing their devices updated, and I know everyone would appreciate a copy of these broadcasts. In fact, let me know how much you want to charge for copies of this CD. I’ve got a bunch of people I’d like to mail it off to right off the bat.”

Alex turned to Patricia to get her input. “What do you think, Patricia?”

“I’m sure I can find several things he can help with, as well as several other people he can help. In fact, if you could take a look at my van today, I’d appreciate it. There’s no telling when we’ll have to leave, and there’s still some things that don’t have all the bugs worked out of them. Plus, once word gets out like Alex says, there’s sure to be a lot of people looking for some able bodied assistance.”

“Man, it looks like I’m going to be employed again, only now it’s on my own terms as I’ll be self employed. I never expected Rose’s little fascination would work out well for me. When she started talking about Angels controlling her life I was getting really nervous, but this has worked out quite well for both of us.”

“Well I’m always glad to hear that. I believe in families and friends, and I believe in helping both as long as it’s not counterproductive. I hope you consider yourself one of us now?” Alex asked.

“Oh, yes, I certainly do. I can’t say I quite understand it all yet, I mean, a nonreligious Angel with no message who just wants to help people, it just doesn’t sound very traditional.”

Alex laughed, “Well, no one has ever accused me of being traditional.”

“So what do you think?” Gail asked, returning the conversation to the topic at hand. “Are you getting nervous or do you want to keep plugging away?”

Alex considered this as he watched everyone else’s reactions. However each person was watching him to see how he’d react. He knew he had to lead, so he made his decision.

“No, no one knows me, so there isn’t any real threat. We’ll have to spread the word to try to avoid confrontations, while quietly trying to get the word out that we’re harmless, but there’s no reason for me to run away at the moment. However, the same restrictions apply. I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to walk the streets with a large entourage of women around me.”

“Well, I’ll tell you what, if we aren’t going to run away, I’d like you to speak to a few of the girls watching the various churches around town, just to show your appreciation for what they’re going through,” Patricia told Alex. “That way you can get their input firsthand. I’ve also got another couple of women that are looking forward to getting pregnant, and more than a few who’d love a chance at you, some who’d love a chance to get intimate with you, but most just want to spend some time with you in any way they can. Let me get busy and I’ll arrange a lunch meeting.”

Soon everyone started getting ready, either packing up their things or making arrangements. Because of Alex’s stipulations, they decided to leave at different times, which gave Alex time to spend with each of the people before Alex, Cate and Gail found themselves alone and ready to head out themselves.

“That took a while, I figure if we stroll casually we can enjoy the city again and just be on time for our lunch meeting,” Alex suggested, so they set out, Alex and Cate once again arm in arm like the lovers they were, with Gail trying to surreptitiously follow them.

---

Alex was discussing the religious protests with a couple of women in a nice restaurant. They were there with Patricia, and since it was only those few Gail was seated with them this time.

“Well, the protests are really isolated,” Tracy said.

“That’s right,” Harriet, or ‘Harry’ as she liked to be called, replied. “Right now they don’t know who you are or what you stand for, so they’re basically just protesting the idea.”

“And the idea they’re most upset by is that God would select an atheist to spread his message. That seemed to be the biggest tipping point. Most of these people have been taught their whole lives that the only way into heaven is through acceptance of Jesus Christ as your personal savior, and now you’re turning that concept on its head. So the choice for them is to either accept everything they’ve ever believed is wrong, or get angry with it. Frankly, getting angry is the easier choice.”

“Most of the placards were focused on the atheism issue,” Harry added.

“Once again, I don’t care if people want to believe in Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha or the Tooth Fairy, but I guess they have no way of knowing that,” Alex said, sighing in frustration. Composing himself, he continued. “How widespread are the protests?” he asked, trying to get to the central issue.

“Oh, they aren’t,” Harry answered. “There are only four churches with any activity, and out of those, there are only a relatively small number of people that are taking a stand on it.”

“The main ones in the city are at the Cathedral, which you saw, a big Episcopal church to the west of here, and two mega-churches, which is strange since they’re both non-denominational, meaning they’ve got no established creed they follow,” Tracy explained.

“Yeah, but if people feel their belief system is being threatened, they’re not about to question their own inconsistencies,” Alex said, echoing what everyone was thinking. “Do the people seem particularly angry? I mean, are they likely to act out on it? Are they threatening anyone at the rallies?”

“Not yet. Apparently the one Mattie was at was the only one where they accosted anyone, and that was only because they saw a blind woman and assumed, correctly, that she was the one that you’d healed.”

“I didn’t heal her,” Alex repeated tiredly.

“Call it what you want,” Cate said, “when you restore sight to the sightless, you’ve got to expect that kind of response.” Alex simply grunted, but Harry went ahead and answered his question.

“Again, they didn’t really have anyone to direct their attentions at, so it’s been mostly vague shouting into the void. But I suspect if they had a face, or worse, a series of faces, they might just boil over.”

“The priest at the Catholic cathedral has a good sense about him. He helped organize the rally when several members of his church complained to him, but he’s stressing the established line of acceptance, forgiveness and following the teachings of Christ. However, the protests at the two evangelical churches are being led by their respective church leaders, who are using it to proselytize about the evils of modern society, so they seem a bit angrier.”

“There was talk of focusing their protests here, in ‘the heart of the beast’ as one described the French Quarter, since it was reported that your followers seem to be concentrated here,” Harry added. “We’ve continued watching, and the rally in Jackson Square Park is bigger today, but not that much larger. If those four groups combined, their interactions might have unexpected results.”

“Tell me about it,” Alex groaned. “Well, I’m glad you’ve been keeping such a careful watch over these for me, it really means a lot to me,” Alex told them.

“Yeah, the other girls couldn’t get away to join us today, after all, we need the few Watchers we have so they can keep us apprised of what’s going on,” Tracy said.

“Well, let them know that I really appreciate it,” Alex said. “And thanks for getting the word out to everyone about not overreacting to these events,” he told Patricia. She simply gave him a weak smile, not entirely sure they could control everyone’s responses for much longer, especially not if they left and the various members were here on their own.

They started talking about other things, since Alex continued to be fascinated with each of the people he met. He asked both girls about themselves, about their hobbies, jobs and families while they finished off their lunches. They were almost done when Alex got the latest surprise.

‘Alex? This is Margaret. I came down to the French Quarter for lunch so I could catch up on what’s been going on. I thought you’d want to know that there have been several trucks from the various national broadcast companies setting up here.’

‘Hey, Margaret, thanks for keeping me informed. When did they get here?’

‘Apparently the first one pulled in about a half hour ago, but everyone was nervous about calling Patricia about it, so when they saw me they told me so I could let you know about it directly. Since then another two have pulled up.’

‘Which networks?’ Alex asked.

‘Two of the main three so far, ABC and NBC. The other one is for Fox News,’ Margaret answered him. Alex couldn’t help but groan at the idea of Fox News getting involved. He had nothing against the station itself, but with the way they tended to pillory anyone who didn’t agree with them, he could only imagine how they’d report this. Especially since he’d be perceived as challenging the established Christian churches, which formed a large and vocal percentage of their market.

Alex turned to Harry, preparing to tell her to convey a message to those observing the protests, but then he remembered she hadn’t been boosted yet, so he turned instead to Patricia, who he figured would also know who was involved.

“Contact whoever is at the downtown rally and see if there are any news crews there. Apparently there are several news trucks from the larger broadcasters near here.”

Alex could tell from how Patricia’s eyes suddenly lost their focus that she was talking to someone, so he returned to his own conversation, despite the look of concern on everyone else’s expression.

‘What are they up to? Are they doing anything I should be concerned with at the moment?’ he asked.

‘Well, the two new ones are still setting up,’ Margaret answered immediately. ‘I think the one from Fox is getting coffee at the moment, but the NBC one has started interviewing people on the street already.’

‘OK, there’s not much we can do about that. At least they aren’t heading to the rally in the park. Do our people around there know how to respond?’

‘Yeah, we’ve all been told how you want us to handle this. They’ve been practicing interviewing each other just so they won’t be caught by surprise. It also appears they’re simply reacting to what was broadcast on the TV yesterday, as none of them has sought out Peter’s shop. Mr. Rodriguez knows about it, but I don’t think any of these people do as yet, at least.’

‘That’s one good thing at least. It sounds like the networks haven’t gotten Albert to reveal anything he didn’t say on the air to them,’ Alex replied as he turned to hear what Patricia had to tell him. Seeing he was ready, she told him there weren’t any trucks there yet, but they’d noticed some of the organizers getting phone calls recently, and there had been a flurry of activity afterwards.

“Damn, that means they’ve probably been alerted. Keep me informed, and have whoever is watching them contact me immediately if they try anything,” Alex informed her.

“Will do,” Patricia assured him. “Actually there’s a group there including Jenny Cox and her husband, but the main Seer for the group is Kristi Nichols, who I believe you already know.”

“Yeah,” Alex smiled, “I’m pretty familiar with her.” He ended his communications with Margaret and he quickly discussed what they could do about the situation with the whole table, but no one had any ideas. After all, they had the right to do whatever they wanted to, and so far no one had done anything illegal.

“Just make sure our people have cell phones that can record anything stupid they do that will help cast them in a bad light if necessary,” Alex told the others. “Our only hope of quieting this storm is to show it’s out of tune with typical attitudes. So far they’ve sounded so misogynistic they’ve been hurting themselves, but with this new level of interest, even bad attention is likely to be seen as good publicity by them.”

Gail and Cate argued that Alex’s best course of action would be to lie low, and that he could best do that holed up at the apartment. Alex was ready to agree when Patricia spoke up.

“Before you go and hide, I have another couple of girls for you to meet today. I assume you took it easy yesterday, so hopefully your sperm is back at their full strength.” When Alex blushed guiltily she simply smirked, having expected no less. She motioned someone, and soon a couple of nervous women entered the small side room they were dining in.

Since the two women had supposedly already been activated by Alex’s mass activation in the part, they didn’t react when they first made eye contact with Alex, but they both seemed both anxious and nervous about approaching him. One appeared at first glance to be of somewhat Asian extraction, while the other was another black girl. Alex smiled to himself as he thought that was only to be expected, since New Orleans had a sizable black population. Something he was aware that he might not see as much of as he traveled west, especially if you discounted the larger cities.

“This is Amanda Li,” Patricia said, introducing the Asian looking older woman, “and this is Becky Roe,” she said, indicating the black girl with red hair.

“Becky Roe? I like your first name, after all, my sister shares the same name, but is that roe as in fish eggs?” Alex laughed, hardly able to keep the smile off his face.

“It’s spelled the same, but actually it’s Roe as in the old English Ro, meaning a deer,” she explained, growing more comfortable being able to explain herself, despite Alex’s poking fun at her name.

“Well, it seems fitting, after all, your hair color is actually close to that of a deer’s,” he told her. “I like it.” He regarded her for a moment as they spoke, quickly trying to evaluate her in the few seconds he had to look her over before such a look would generate questions. She had very fair skin and a nose straighter than Lekesia’s had been. Although she had a fuller figure than many of Alex’s girls, she was well under Brandy’s size and she had thinner lips.

He then turned and regarded Amanda. Her hair, unlike Becky’s, was jet black and mostly straight. She had an easy assured smile, with a wide nose and prominent cheeks. He motioned for them both to sit down and they did so happily.

“Did Patricia at least allow you to eat?” Alex asked. “Why she insists on keeping everyone a surprise until the right moment is beyond me. If you had joined us we could have at least have eaten together.”

“And we wouldn’t have gotten anything else done,” Patricia reminded him. “I’ve seen how focused you get whenever you meet someone new. I wanted your whole attention on what’s happening. Now that we’ve finished, you can go ahead and distract yourself as much as you want,” she teased.

“If you don’t mind,” Tracy said as she and Harry stood up, “we think we’ll join the others watching over the news crews. If they split up, they’ll likely need a few more Seers who can track each of them,” she explained. Alex stood as well, and hugged each woman, thanking them profusely for what they’d been doing for him. They blushed prettily at his praise, but it was apparent that they were eating his attention up, and they each walked away with a new spring in their steps. Cate simply shook her head at the effect her formerly shy brother had on the women in his life.

“Now where was I?” Alex asked as he sat down again. “Oh yes, I was going to tell you both just how beautiful you are. You can’t see my face well enough to tell, but I’m pretty homely myself,” he teased. That produced the typical response, as they both hurried to reassure him, not having gotten used to his sense of humor.

“Oh, no, we can see from your aura that your beauty is much more than skin deep,” Becky assured him. “You’ve got a beauty to you that goes beyond your looks, and even incorporates more than your amazing abilities.”

“She’s right,” Amanda told him. “Even though there aren’t many pictures of you floating around, the other Seers share mental images of you between themselves so they’ll always remember what you look like. Although you have the quintessential looks of a youth not quite finished growing into his adult body, you are hardly unattractive.”

“Well, thanks,” Alex replied, blushing at the unexpected praise he’d received from his own self-depreciating joke. “Anyway, tell me a little about yourself. I take it from your description that you both already know most of what being a Seer entails, and have already spoken with at least a few of the crew up in Carbondale?”

“Oh, yes, Patricia spoke to each of us both before and after our activation in the park,” Becky told him. “She also took us through using telepathy, and connected each of us with someone who could assist us. She connected me to Shani, which I understand since we’re both black, but I don’t think she understood how different Jamaicans are from the typical American blacks.”

“Yeah, you’ve got to stop making such stereotypical associations,” Amanda told Patricia. “She connected me to Anh, and although we’re both Asian, that is one weird lady. I’ve lived in America my entire life, so when she started in on her Vietnamese mysticism I almost lost it.”

“I’ll take that in consideration,” Patricia told her as Alex, Cate and Gail all broke into giggles, “but it was a split second decision.”

“Yeah, Anh takes a little getting used to, but she’s a sweetheart, and she manages to convey a lot of information pretty quickly,” Cate told her. “Actually, I’m not so convinced she really believes a lot of what she says, as much as she’s found that people accept what she says when they don’t take it as seriously.”

“She told me something about a tiny chick being tossed out of its nest onto foreign soil,” Amanda said, “and how although that was its new home, that it would always think like a bird and not like the other animals on the forest floor. She concluded that I needed to learn to fly amongst my own kind. Frankly I had no idea if she was talking about my being Chinese, being a second generation American, or being a Seer.”

“Yeah, that sounds like our Anh,” Cate replied, smiling. “She always takes the long way to making a point, and even then you have to think about what she said, since you’re never sure if she understands what she’s talking about.”

“Anyway, I’m a stylist,” Becky said, getting the conversation back on track by answering Alex’s original question. “I’ve got a shop out near Xavier University near where I live. I didn’t often make it down here to the French Quarter, until a friend told me about you and how I may be one of your people. I thought she was crazy, but Patricia explained that I fit the description. My friend had noticed over the years how I seemed to always size up my customers and always seemed to know what to talk to them about. That’s how she made the connection. Patricia explained that Seers are good at reading people’s emotions.”

“Yeah, that seems to be an early precursor to their ability to read people’s energy,” Cate explained. “We’ve got several people who had similar stories about their earlier lives.”

“Well, as you can guess, with having a studio in the neighborhood around the university I tend to get a fairly young clientele. Several of the young girls started talking about you, and before long it was all anyone in the shop was talking about. I ignored it while you were still here, then after you’d left and things were starting to calm down a little, this girl took me aside and explained how I might be one of them myself. It took a little convincing, but she introduced me to Darice.”

“I take it most of you had your initial meeting with Darice as opposed to Peter or David?” Alex asked, trying to figure out how each of his ‘Watcher watchers’ were dealing with their positions.

“Yeah, but they each have their own strengths. Since she’s female as well, most women feel more comfortable talking to her initially. But since most people hang out at Peter’s shop, we quickly get comfortable with Peter and David as well, and they drill home that it’s not just a women’s movement. In fact, there’s a whole list of what your movement isn’t,” she said with a laugh.

“You realize that coffee shop is hardly Peter’s, don’t you?” Alex asked, just checking his facts. “After all, he doesn’t have a share in it.”

“No, but they’ve been getting so much business due to his association with the movement that they’ve made him a general manager of the place,” Amanda explained. “The place is packed with your followers throughout the day. Then in the evening it’s filled with all the others who have to work during the day. Actually David and Peter spend much of their time commiserating with the husbands and boyfriends of the women who congregate there.”

“You know, you both speak quite well. I’m thinking I only attract very intelligent women,” Alex commented.

“Oh, you attract plenty of regular folk too,” Amanda assured him. “But you challenge everything they thought they knew. They have to reevaluate everything they knew. That’s what the sessions at Peter’s place are like. Everyone sits around speculating on the true nature of life and what’s true and what isn’t.”

“As I said,” Becky told him, “I live and work near the university, so it was either learn how to speak like a college educated white person or I couldn’t survive. But I can speak Black with the best of them,” she assured him. “We get all kinds in my shop. Although recently I’ve been so busy with the various Watchers or their friends that I’ve never been quite so busy. You have a lot of black followers here in the city. You may not see as many of them here by the river, though.”

“Hmm, maybe I should head out that way then,” Alex considered. Turning, he considered Amanda again. “And what about you beautiful? What’s your story?”

She blushed and answered him immediately, beaming at his easy praise of her. “I told you I’m second generation American. My father came over to study in the American education system and met my mother, who’d been in the country much longer. She was second generation herself. After they married my father refused to return, and moved here to escape the larger Chinese communities elsewhere in the country, afraid the communists would track him down. But now that he’s managed to grow a decent business here, they welcome him on his frequent trips to Hong Kong and the mainland as if he’d never done anything they object to.”

Alex and Cate simply nodded along to her story. Although it was unusual and fascinating in its own regard, they could understand the various attitudes she described.

“I went to a small girls’ school here in the city, and I attended college at Brown out East,” she explained. “I work in my Dad’s business, mostly meeting with clients. I’m pretty good with languages so I spend a lot of time translating.”

Gail smiled at her. “You’ll really benefit from your new abilities then,” she told her. “The ability to receive instant translations in real time makes a huge difference in learning new languages. I hate to see how multilingual our children will be in a few years. You should have seen him when Alex was talking to Albert Rodriguez the other day.”

“Oh, I know,” Amanda told her. “The Watchers around the city have been repeating the story over and over again. Most of them couldn’t repeat what was said, but it apparently was convincing. I think that’s why his reports on you have been so positive. I honestly think you convinced him you really are the Angel of New Orleans, and that he’d better stay on your good side or else he may be surprised, either here and now or later in the afterlife,” she laughed easily.

“Well, look, we’ve spent enough time here, I’m sure the restaurant would like to have our table for paying customers,” Alex told them. “How about we get out of here?”

A short discussion followed, and Alex decided, helped along by Gail, Patricia and Cate, that the best thing for him would be to avoid the area. However Alex wasn’t ready to spend the rest of the day locked away in the apartment, especially given how beautiful it was outside. They relented when he suggested a quiet stroll down by the river in Woldenberg Park. Everyone agreed that was an isolated enough spot, and that it was pretty far from the reporters at the moment. The bill had already been paid by Patricia, so they stood, said their goodbyes to Patricia and headed out.

“Remember, we’re all packed and ready to go,” Patricia told him before they parted. “It will only take a little while to load the last few things if you decide to make a run for it.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” he assured her. He hated being chased away from the city again, though.

Gail insisted on heading out first to check the street before she’d allow Alex to leave the building. She hurriedly waved him out after they’d sent Becky ahead to flag down a cab so they could make a hasty exit. On the drive, Alex quietly told everyone once again his reluctance to be associated with a large crowd of women, so they agreed that he’d walk with Becky and Amanda, while Cate and Gail followed from a distance behind, speaking together and looking like a separate couple.

That seemed to work, and everyone spent a nice afternoon just walking along appreciating the warm summer sun on the water, watching as people sunned themselves on the grass and threw tennis balls for their dogs. Alex learned quite a bit more about the girls, and Cate was kept apprised of what they discussed as Alex conveyed what was said through Gail. It was a strange way to hold a group conversation, but strange events call for unorthodox approaches to problems.

Alex kept getting updates as events unfolded in the city, and he kept the others informed. Luckily, though, none of it directly impacted them where they were, so he simply chose to not focus on it, waiting to see what developed before reacting to it.

As nice as their time in the park was, it soon grew time for dinner. Chancing a walk through the less popular neighborhoods on the way, they walked back to the apartment and talked about ordering dinner. However neither Amanda nor Becky would hear of it, both offering to prepare dinner for him. Alex tried to argue that this was supposed to be their evening, and besides, they didn’t have any supplies in the apartment and it would take too long to go shopping now. They acknowledged that he made a lot of sense, so they settled on ordering some Thai food from a nearby restaurant.

Before dinner they watched the television, scanning between the network news stations looking for reports on Alex. It took a while, after all, it was hardly earth shattering national news, but due to the slow news cycle each of the stations reported on him. NBC went first, talking about “a crazy new religious movement in New Orleans”, followed by the others, with CBS taking the more aggressive stance of the major stations, showing interviews with several people who disapproved of an atheist telling ‘normal people how to live’. However, after watching the other stations they turned on Fox to catch the end of a special commentary about “young con artists who make their living making fun of other people’s religions”. Alex groaned once again, but no one else had much to say.

“Well, as bad as it was, they didn’t say anything too nasty,” Becky suggested after the silence drew out too long.

“Actually, it isn’t what they said that’s important,” Cate told them, “it’s the fact they’re reporting it at all. Now that everyone has broadcast the story, they’ll each feel obligated to continue reporting on it.”

“Yeah, but surely they’ll forget about it soon enough,” Amanda said. “After all, you know how short the attention span of most people is. Everyone will forget about this is no time at all.”

“But it’s the fact that it’s been presented to the entire nation, especially since it was done so in such a big manner,” Gail explained, building on Cate’s point. “Now everyone in the country will be aware of us, so people will recognize us if we attract attention, and everyone will react that much more strongly whenever news of us breaks again. This is just the start of a whole string of subsequent behaviors.” This was an area close to Gail’s heart, as she knew it would impact everyone in Alex’s world.

The two girls didn’t have anything else to contribute to the topic. Being part of Alex’s community was still too new of an experience for them to have any distance on it yet. True, neither one had told that many of their friends about it, but they hadn’t fully thought out how others might respond in a similar manner.

Cate started to talk about the best approaches to the problem, but Alex hushed her.

“Forget it, Cate. We each need time to think this through, and it’s too soon to make any decisions about it. Luckily the reports weren’t dramatic enough to cause us any immediate trouble, so I’m going to concentrate on a couple of beautiful women. I’d rather relax for the moment and attack the problem fresh when a real problem presents itself.”

When the deliveryman arrived, Cate met him at the door and took the bag, leaving a decent tip, while Gail watched from behind the door, deciding from his aura alone that he wasn’t likely a risk. Still, no one wanted to risk exposing Alex to anyone who might potentially report seeing a young man entertaining a crowd of young women. They might have been acting paranoid, but they all thought the risk of Alex and his followers’ abilities being exposed justified such overly cautious behaviors.

The dinner was enjoyable, as both Cate and Gail joined in the discussion, both feeling they could relax their formality with Alex’s guests in the more comfortable setting. Cate still had to play the dutiful sister, but Gail no longer felt she had to keep watch over everyone and everything around them.

With the late dinner finished, Alex escorted Amanda and Becky to the bedroom. While Alex might have had something to occupy himself with, the same wasn’t true for Cate and Gail, as they had to listen to their main lover make love to two other women, while they couldn’t participate or watch. They found it was even worse because, in the silence that descended, all they could think of was the news broadcasts they’d just watched. In order to distract themselves, they turned the television on despite the fact neither one had any interest in anything on at the moment. After surfing the channels for a bit, Cate managed to find an overly cute romantic comedy, producing a groan from Gail, but they both watched it. It didn’t manage to drown out the moans from the other room, but it helped.

After a little while, Cate started imitating the girls’ answering moans to each of Alex’s, which got Gail to laugh enough they made a game out of it. Then Gail started making snarky comments about each of the girls’ comments, causing them to get that much sillier. Unfortunately, they were both familiar with how long it took Alex to make love to a couple of women, so the jokes were starting to wear thin after a while.

They recognized the excited scream of Becky’s orgasm, followed shortly by the strangled silence that followed her passing out. Cate took that as her opportunity to get involved, taking a snack into the bedroom. Gail trailed along behind her, not so much to protect Alex as to perv on the two naked women he was with.

Alex had explained about his sister, so Amanda wasn’t shocked to find their private time interrupted by Alex’s suitemates. After all, someone as powerful as Alex was likely to behave a little strangely. It was almost expected. He didn’t operate according to the same rules that applied to other people.

Cate made herself at home, sitting on the bed beside Alex on the far side of Amanda, and proceeded to feed her brother, casually talking to them both as she did so. Amanda was concerned about Becky, but Cate assured her that she was fine and that this wasn’t unexpected, as it had happened several times before.

“She’ll not only be fine, she’ll be addicted to it. You’re in for the event of your life when my brother regains his strength. Apparently being boosted is a momentous event.”

She and Amanda continued talking, while Gail noted that speaking like that caused Amanda’s breasts to dance enticingly. While she may not be able to join Alex in bed every night, there were a few other perks to this job, she reminded herself.

Becky started to come to and moaned similarly to how she’d been moaning before she’d passed out.

“How’s it feel to have your brain melt?” Cate asked her playfully.

“It’s... I have no idea how to describe it. It’s unbelievable. Wow, I think I may give up on other men. No one else has ever done anything anywhere near that to me before.”

“It affects everyone like that,” Gail told her. “As powerful as your first activation is, adding in the sex, the emotions, and the whole Alex effect to it, makes it that much more impressive.”

Cate was about to agree when she caught herself, biting her lip instead. As Amanda and Gail talked, Cate took the opportunity to fondle her brother’s cock for a couple of seconds, smiling at him as she did so. Becky was still a little out of it to notice, listening to Gail and Amanda speak instead. When Amanda took a bite out of Alex’s apple Cate invited them out into the living room for a snack, telling them Alex could use the time to regenerate. They took her up on it as Becky mentioned how hungry she was, having just burned up so much of her own energy. But that just led to a discussion with Cate about how much energy might be used by being ‘boosted’.

They ended up eating and laughing in the living room, sitting on the couch, with over half of them naked. Cate just hoped Becky didn’t leak too much on Allison’s nice leather couch. Gail had a hard time following the conversation as she pretended to watch everyone’s eyes. Laughing, Cate told them she didn’t want to stand out like the only conservative person at a nudist colony, and took her blouse off. Needless to say, she didn’t have anything on under her shirt. Both Alex and Gail’s eyes were immediately drawn to her nipples, but Becky commented on it as well.

“You’ve actually got very attractive breasts,” she said.

“You really think so?” Cate asked, cupping and hefting a small handful in each hand.

“Yeah, the fact they’re so small makes the nipples look that much more attractive. Plus you don’t have to deal with big knockers as obnoxious as these are,” she said, hefting her own breasts, which only accentuated their size, a fact that neither Alex nor Gail missed. Cate openly admired them as well.

“Pfft,” Amanda announced, “I wish I had something as obnoxious as those. While I’m a little larger than Cate, I’m much closer to her than you.”

“So, it looks like the only one who hasn’t expressed an opinion still has her shirt on,” Cate teased.

“Yeah, let’s see how you ‘stack’ up?” Becky asked with a giggle.

Gail was hardly one to stand on decorum. Well, actually she liked standing on it whenever she kissed a really tall girl, but other than that she had little use for it. Thus she quickly removed her shirt. She had to struggle with her bra for a bit, but she soon had it off and everyone considered what she had to offer.

“You’re lucky, Alex,” Becky said, “you’ve got the best funbags I’ve ever seen on a security guard.”

“Makes me want to bite something,” Cate teased, hoping she could trigger a similar confession from the other girls.

“Hey, no biting allowed,” Gail replied. “These deserve some serious oral attention. You’re only supposed to bite when I’m close to cumming.”

They all laughed together, giggled really, although Alex wisely sat silently, watching the conversation unfold, carefully observing how everyone responded. He, Cate and Gail were aware of what a bisexual nature in either one or both of the girls could mean to them all. Even if it didn’t completely ease Cate’s position, it at least opened the door.

“So, out of all the different sized breasts we’ve got here, who do you think has the most sensitive nipples?” Amanda asked playfully.

“How do you propose we test everyone’s responsiveness?” Cate, ever the scientist, asked her, instantly taking up the challenge.

“Hmm,” Amanda said, pretending to contemplate the issue, “how about we have someone play with one, while the rest of us watch the other one?”

“That sounds fair,” Gail said. “So who plays, and what constitutes the play?” She had to fight to keep from grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

“I think it’s only fair if it was representative,” Cate suggested. “How about if we start with a little finger play, proceed to a bite, and then end with a simple lick.”

“Nah, a single lick is just torture,” Becky argued. “You’ve got to make it a full suckle, but we can limit how long it lasts.”

“OK, so we’ve got the procedure, now who gets to conduct the experiment?” Gail asked, secretly crossing her fingers behind her back.

“Well, I’m sure Alex has an opinion on that,” Becky suggested, smirking at him. “But maybe we need someone a little more objective.”

“That makes sense,” Cate observed, just a bit too eagerly. “Perhaps a cop or maybe a sisterly scientist would make a better tester.”

“I think it would be fairer if each of us were to do the testing,” Amanda suggested.

“Well, we’re short a person, so I should probably excuse myself, since I’ll probably skew the results,” Alex said.

“That’s OK. I think everyone would like you to be a part of it, whatever effect it has on the results,” Becky said. “I’ll take a pass instead. I’ll still be part of the experiment, but since I’m not much into playing with nipples, guys’ or girls’, I’ll let Alex take my place in the testing so it’ll still be four test subjects and four testers. The rest of you can have fun, though; this should be fun to watch.”

“Nonsensitive nips?” Gail guessed.

“Hey, that’d be giving the results away,” Becky laughed. “You’ll have to wait and see how well I respond. All I’m admitting to at the moment is I don’t like the idea of licking nipples.”

“So we have everything worked out,” Cate said, hoping to regain the momentum they’d already established. “We have four official testers and four test subjects. And since you’re right that Alex is likely to skew the test results, I think we should have Alex do me, since as his sister he’s likely to have less of an effect on me,” Cate offered, lying like she’d never lied before. Alex thought she should have given him the lessons on lying instead of Gail.

“So that takes care of Alex and you, how do we choose up the others?” Amanda asked.

“Since Becky isn’t partial to girls, we should let her choose first,” Gail suggested, hoping to prove to everyone else that Amanda was as anxious to do this as the others were. If she didn’t protest, she’d as much as admit it. The others ignored the fact that Becky hadn’t actually said she didn’t like girls, only that she didn’t like playing with nipples. They were interested in Amanda’s response as well, even Becky.

“Well, since Amanda and I are likely to end up in bed together soon, maybe I should pick someone not as likely to have a second chance,” Becky said, surprising everyone. She turned and looked Gail in the eyes, smiled, then shook her head. “Nah, I was considering Gail, since I like commanding and decisive figures, but we’re a little too similarly built. I think it should be Cate. That way I can see close up what kind of effect she has on me.”

Cate positively beamed at this news, but took a moment to glance at Gail with a “Nah, nah, nah, nah” expression on her face. But Gail was happy anyway. Amanda was cute enough, and she’d never fooled around with a Chinese girl before. Besides, if things went well, there might be a little more involved than just a quick game.

“OK, that means that Gail gets to test me,” Amanda said. “Then who do I get to play with? Er, I mean test,” she asked, smiling to show it wasn’t exactly an accident of speech.

“Well, Cate and Becky are already taken, so that only leaves me, since your breasts aren’t quite big enough for you to do yourself,” Gail reminded her.

“Duh, I guess you’re right. I hadn’t quite thought it through,” Amanda admitted.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll get a chance at someone else if you play your cards right,” Becky teased, judging the atmosphere in the room.

Everyone giggled nervously until Amanda suggested that they get started. They all looked around, but all eyes focused on Alex to get things started, so he reluctantly stood up and approached his sister, drinking in her beauty once again now that he could do so openly.

“I’m not sure this is going to work well,” Cate offered. “After all, we’re talking about my brother, here,” she said, doing an excellent acting job.

“That’s OK, I think you may be surprised,” Becky told her.

“Hey wait, her nipples are already hard. That’s hardly fair,” Amanda protested.

“It must be cold in here,” Cate answered, “after all, it looks like everyone’s nipples are hard.” They each laughed again as Alex leaned in and Cate leaned back, exposing her naked chest to her brother and frequent lover. He reached out and pinched her nipple, taking a moment to tweak it with a slight twist. Cate managed to swallow her moan, but her other nipple immediately hardened.

“Hmm, it looks like someone protests too much,” Becky teased.

“It tickles,” Cate protested, none too convincingly.

Alex then leaned closer in and bit down on her exposed nipple. Cate shivered and Alex drew back to watch his sister’s nipple’s response.

“Woo Hoo!” Gail cheered, breaking the awkward silence, causing everyone to break up laughing.

As soon as everyone got their breath back, Alex knelt down, leaned in and wrapped his lips around his sister’s nipple and sucked on it. Cate couldn’t resist, she gave a brief moan as she shuddered again. The anticipation of waiting for him to do what they all expected had raised her anticipation, making the eventual contact that much more delicious. She blushed at her slip, which fit into everyone’s expectations, so they didn’t jump to too many conclusions.

“OK, that’s one experiment down,” Becky announced. “Let’s do the next. Amanda, get over there and play with some tit!”

Amanda grinned, though whether in humor or anticipation no one besides her knew, and stood up and crossed over to Gail. Hoping to make it easier for her, Gail stood up, moving them both directly in front of the others. The others sat to watch, holding their breaths as Amanda reached out and softly caressed Gail’s nipple with her fingertips.

“Hey, you’re cheating. Alex’s was quicker than that. If that’s allowed I demand a second chance,” Cate protested.

“Yeah, we can imagine,” Becky replied. “But she’s right. You’re only allowed a quick pinch.”

Amanda reluctantly let go of Gail’s nipple, staring her directly in the eyes. The meaning was clear to Gail, just as it was to everyone else. Gail had no idea whether she’d ever done this before or not, her gaydar not working at the moment, but Amanda knew she was ready to try just about anything tonight, and Gail was looking forward to it.

Taking her eyes off Gail long enough to stare at her chest again, Amanda leaned in, hovered over her nipple for a moment, purposefully teasing everyone, Gail included, before she gave it a quick but sharp bite.

Gail noticeably jerked, but smiled. “You’ll have to do that again the next time I’m ready to cum,” she told her. That produced a gentler laugh all around, and the others leaned in to watch the next stage.

Standing up and looking Gail in the eyes again, almost as if making her a silent promise, Amanda leaned in, made easier due to their difference in height, and took Gail’s nipple into her mouth and sucked hard, lavishing it with her tongue, batting it back and forth. Gail was almost sure she had experience with other women at that moment. Cate called out “Time”, and Amanda stood up, once again looking Gail in the eyes and licking her lips.

“Damn, I’m not into girls, but I think I’d like to see this continue,” Becky observed.

“You and me both,” Cate agreed.

“Well, I hate to break it to you, but she’s got an appointment to get pregnant sometime tonight,” Alex reminded them.

“Hey, you may be a super lover, but even you don’t last all night,” Gail told him.

“Damn, I was looking forward to watching them make out,” Becky admitted.

“Make out hell, I want to see them do each other,” Cate openly stated.

“You and me both,” Alex said. “As long as it moves everything forward, I’ve got no objections to what gets everyone in the mood.”

“OK, OK, enough of that. If we don’t continue we’ll never finish,” Becky announced. “They’ll both need a chance to calm down, so I guess that means you’re up next, Cate,” she said, leaning back and pressing her chest forward enticingly.

Cate found herself almost licking her lips, but restrained herself. She stood up, stepped around her brother, resting her hand on his thigh to steady herself, and moved in front of Becky. She helped Becky stand, and she did, shaking her ass for Alex’s enjoyment.

Once they were both standing, Cate followed Amanda’s lead and looking into Becky’s eyes, she reached down and made her own rules, by pushing the nipple up, then pulling it down, finishing by rolling it between her fingers. However, she did it so quickly no one could complain. Becky was surprised she’d found it so stimulating for such a simple action.

Taking her eyes off of her, which was easy to do since Becky had squeezed her eyes shut when her nipple had been pinched, Cate leaned down and held her mouth over Becky’s areola and breathed on it, hoping to pre-stimulate it. Then, after a short agonizing wait, she bit down, but instead of biting the nipple she bit the areola and slid her teeth down to the nipple itself, which she gave an extra sharp nip. Becky gave a quick shudder, which did amazing things to her breasts, causing Cate to forget to lock eyes with Becky again, showing she was actually more interested in her response than in developing a relationship.

Cate figured she’d waited long enough, so she leaned in once again, making sure she didn’t obstruct the others’ view of the other breast, and took Becky’s whole areola in her mouth. Becky’s breast was larger than anyone that Cate had fooled around with before. Certainly larger than Chalise, whom she’d done this with several times, enjoying herself tremendously each time. Cate knew she liked her breasts big. She liked her own tits, and had no desire to have large ones herself, but she enjoyed playing with large boobies, and Becky’s were prime examples. But she pulled back, only reluctantly releasing the nipple at the very last moment as she pulled it away from its attachment to the areola.

When she stood up, Becky couldn’t resist. She leaned forward herself and gave Cate a quick kiss. “Damn, girl. I know I’m as straight as I can get, but anytime you want to do that again, feel free to help yourself.”

Cate, looking her in the eyes once again, replied, “Count on it, Becky. Count on it.”

Before things could degenerate, Alex spoke up, trying to keep things on track. “OK, Gail, it’s your turn now.”

Gail shook her head, regretting she hadn’t drawn the robust Becky, but hardly feeling cheated when she studied Amanda. She liked variety, which is why she and Cate got along so well. Due to the difference in their heights, Gail got on her knees so she could more easily reach Amanda’s breast. Of course, in so doing she managed to grasp Amanda’s hip in what was a gentle caress. Reaching up, she grabbed her nipple, which were on the smaller side, and did a combination pull and twist motion, holding it away from her chest, only to release it with a snap. Amanda growled with pleasure.

Gail then pulled herself into Amanda’s chest, using her hips as a handy grasping point, and slowly brought her lips to her nipple, where she didn’t waste any time in a delaying tease, simply biting down on the nipple, twisted her head and growling as she did so. It had the desired effect, as Amanda shivered with delight mixed with a healthy dose of desire.

“You know, I’m learning a whole lot of techniques I’d never considered before,” Alex admitted.

“Really?” Cate asked him. “After as many women as you’ve been with, and after as many women who share your bed every night?”

“Hey, when I’m with women they don’t play with my breasts, and when I’m with a girl I focus on the girl, not on what’s happening next to me.”

“I can attest to that,” Amanda offered. “I was lying next to him, displaying myself, playing with him, and he wouldn’t break eye contact with Becky. He’s got some amazing powers of concentration.”

“That he does,” Cate agreed, not even worrying about what she may or may not be admitting.

Having had a chance for everyone to compose themselves, Gail pulled Amanda to herself this time, bringing her breast to her as she opened her mouth and lavished it with attention. Everyone could see her mouth moving as she showered it with her love. Her watchers were so fascinated no one counted her time. When Cate finally objected she just shook her head. “Ah confeeb,” she told them as she continued to work over Amanda’s breast, and Amanda, who was holding her head against her breast, gave no sign of releasing her either.

“I think you’ve just lost your baby mamma,” Cate advised her brother.

He just smiled, thankful that everyone seemed to have accepted what was happening so well. “I suggest we move this into the bedroom. Luckily Allison’s bed is large enough for all of us.”

Everyone got up, although it took a moment for Amanda to release her hold on Gail’s head, and even longer for Gail to release her breast. But they weren’t far behind the rest.

After everyone climbed on the bed, Alex positioned Becky in front of him, climbing in behind her, allowing his sister to cuddle in behind him in such a way that they could all watch Gail and Amanda.

“Hey, wait a minute, who won?” Becky asked, turning around to look at Cate, who she figured must be the one to judge, since the others seemed to be busy.

Pulling back from each other, both Amanda and Gail said, “Cate.” When Cate looked at them in surprise, Becky agreed. “You’re right, her nipples were so hard after Alex sucked her breast it could have cut steel. If I didn’t know better...”

“I think it’s due to Alex’s energy,” Gail said, stepping into the breach. “He’d excite a straight male Greek statue once they felt that energy flowing through him. It wasn’t even a contest.”

Becky and Amanda agreed, freeing Gail to turn her attention back to Amanda. They lay against each other and made out, Gail’s hands searching out Amanda’s smaller breasts. Alex’s hands played with Becky’s breasts as well, and Cate’s hands wrapped around his cock, using it to play with Becky’s pussy. Whether Becky had any clue who was manipulating it, since both of Alex’s hands were busy, no one bothered to ask.

Gail and Amanda made out for a while, and Gail’s hand shifted from Amanda’s breast to her pussy, where she worked her up without getting her too excited. Finally Gail released her and moved down, bringing her mouth to Amanda’s damp pussy. By now Cate had been teasing Becky’s pussy with her brother’s cock for a while, so she finally relented and put it where it belonged, then shoved his hands out of the way.

“Hey, give a girl something to play with, you’ve got better things to do,” she said, as she took Becky’s large breasts in her own hands.

Alex wasted no time, easing himself back into Becky’s depths. Becky cooed, feeling the combination of Alex plunging into her, Cate’s manipulation of her tits, and Alex’s energy flowing into her. Cate could also feel the energy flowing into Becky, and it made her feel that much more attracted to her as well.

Gail worked Amanda’s pussy with a vengeance. Amanda had plenty of experience with receiving cunnilingus before, but she was unprepared for what Gail was doing to her. Gail seemed to read her responses before she even had them. She clutched Gail’s head once again, and held on for dear life as she wrapped her thighs over her shoulders and squeezed her head. She let Gail work on her for a while, all the time building to heights she never thought she’d achieve from fooling around with a woman, during which time Alex was making slow love to Becky once again, as Gail helped Amanda build to her own peak. But finally Amanda squeaked out, “Let, let me... suck you.”

Gail shook her head, which was difficult due to the lock that Amanda held it in, and continued to work on her. Not being able to do anything else, Amanda shifted one hand and began to maul her own breast. Gail continued working on her until Amanda hit a powerful orgasm, and then she sprang up, switching into a 69 position where she continued working on her. Amanda was overwhelmed and hardly knew what to do, but this was her first time and she wanted to do a good job because she was excited, and not only wanted to return the favor, but she was already feeling very positive feelings for Gail.

She regarded the pussy hovering in front of her face. She took a deep breath, appreciating the smell of another woman’s pussy for the first time, then reached out with her tongue and played it across Gail’s pussy. However things were moving too swiftly for her, and she found she couldn’t do much behaving so timidly, so she locked her lips to the pussy in front of her and started sucking for all she was worth. She was rewarded when Gail let up her own assault on her, signaling she was enjoying Amanda’s struggling first attempt at cunnilingus, so she redoubled her efforts.

Soon both women were moaning into the other’s pussy, and Alex continued to plug away into Becky. Cate whispered in his ear, reminding him he was supposedly saving himself for Amanda, but Alex knew what he was doing. Although some time had passed since his previous orgasm, it was still soon enough that he could go on for some time, especially at the slow pace he was making love to Becky.

Gail, having done this a few times before, carefully guided Amanda’s progress, keeping her just on the cusp of cumming. She didn’t want to finish her too soon, so she kept her off long enough for her to feel her own orgasm approaching, then she worked Amanda up to her own, trying to get them both off at the same time.

Amanda couldn’t believe what Gail was doing, and she kept throwing her thighs wide, then clutching them against Gail’s head off and on, unsure of how to react to these new sensations from a lover she’d never had before but had long imagined. She reveled in the feel of Gail’s larger breasts pressing into her, as she felt her own pressing into Gail’s stomach. Gail’s juices were running down her face, and she lapped up every drop she could reach, enjoying the taste and sensation in a way she never expected to. She knew she’d try this again.

When they both went over, nearly simultaneously, Amanda gasped, letting loose of Gail’s pussy even as the scent wafted over her even stronger than before. Gail reached down and pinched her nipples, which she knew commonly triggered a stronger orgasm when timed correctly, and she’d timed it correctly once again.

Alex watched them cumming together and slowed his lovemaking, waiting until the two lovers they were watching slowed to a halt, then withdrew and crawled over to Amanda and Gail. He moved Gail aside and then gave her a sincere kiss.

“My turn. Go twitch by yourself for a bit. And thanks for getting her started for me,” he told her in a loving tease.

He turned, giving Amanda time to recover a little, then proceeded to help Amanda relax a little more. He kissed her, tasting Gail on her lips, as they made out. As he allowed her to slowly calm down, Cate moved up to take over her brother’s place, wrapping her arms once more around Becky as she started slowly humping her, trying to stimulate her own clit against Becky’s buns.

Alex decided Amanda was ready, so he gently worked his cock into her, and Amanda was surprised to feel his energy rejuvenating her and filling her with a newborn need for him. She pulled him into her and they set up a much slower pace than she’d been working on before. Gail crawled up beside them and watched them with a loving look in her eyes.

“Enjoy it,” Gail advised Amanda. “As good as our time was, it doesn’t qualify as mind melting. You’ll never have another session this good again, enjoy it. Don’t rush it, but try to remember every detail.”

While they were otherwise engaged, Cate rolled Becky onto her back and moved around in front of her. By lowering her head to her chest she didn’t block Becky’s view, so Becky was free to watch the others make love, and it gave Cate a chance to finally make love to a new woman for the first time in some time.

Amanda and Alex took their time, and Amanda couldn’t believe the feelings that filled her. They weren’t all sexual, but mixed with the sexual feeling she was receiving they augmented them, making them that much more intense. Meanwhile Cate had been working Becky up at a faster pace than everyone else. At just the right moment, Cate raised her head, looked Becky in the eyes and mouthed the words, “Can I?”

Becky, who had trouble clearing her mind enough to answer, seemed to think about it for a few moments. Finally she decided, whispering back, “Never say a word to anyone.” At which point Cate dove between her legs, where she proceeded to eat out this straight woman, a woman who would never bring herself to return the favor. However, that didn’t matter to Cate at the moment. Because Cate already cared for her, and because she could feel both Alex’s love for her and her love for Alex, she once again accepted both emotions as her own and showered Becky’s pussy with her own love, trying to show her what she thought of her with her tongue.

Gail, hearing the unmistakable sound of slurping, looked over Alex’s back to observe Cate going down on Becky.

“Take a look at your sister,” she whispered to Alex. However Alex wasn’t about to be distracted. He was in his zone now, and he was completely focused on no one but Amanda. But Amanda had overheard her, and glanced over at Cate and Becky.

“Damn, I never could have believed it,” she said, although no one seemed to be listening besides Gail.

“Alex isn’t the only one to work magic, although, to be honest, we all seem to borrow a little of his magic to work on each other,” Gail informed Amanda. Amanda took that to heart, but turned her attention back to the love that Alex was showering her with. Somehow that seemed much more meaningful to her than such inane ramblings.

As Amanda’s breath grew more and more rapid, so too did Alex’s pace. She certainly wasn’t rushing anything, but he was moving faster than he had before. Amanda could hardly believe what was happening to her. She’d had a minor orgasm just watching Alex and Becky before. She’d felt intoxicated in the living room with Gail, and then Gail had given her a couple of powerful orgasms. But none of those compared to what she was feeling from Alex at the moment.

Soon it was too much for Becky. She wrapped her legs around Cate’s head, even as she played with her own breasts. She shuddered a couple of times in mini-orgasms and then she suffered through a big one. It wasn’t anywhere near as major as the one she’d so recently had with Alex, but she knew she’d likely never have another one like that. This was certainly much better than she’d ever imagined she could receive from another woman. She’d only been able to reach it by ignoring who it was that was going down on her, and by watching Alex make slow, gentle love to Amanda. When she was done, Cate crawled up, kissed Becky briefly once, smearing her own juices on her lips, and then moved around behind her so she could cuddle her as they both watched her brother melt yet another mind, since that was always a sight to behold.

Cate hugged Becky to herself as they watched him speed up as he approached both of their final release. For Amanda, she’d been feeling a number of minor orgasms, each likely stronger than she’d felt before, but each minor because she could feel they’d pale in comparison to the one she felt approaching. Soon Alex, for all his gentleness, was pumping hard into her. Amanda was too overwhelmed to do much but go with the flow, letting herself be battered, but apparently Alex was doing well on his own. Amanda could feel that Alex was getting close, but even without that knowledge she felt an increase in Alex’s own emotions as she felt his love washing over her. She could never be sure just what she imagined, bathed in her never felt sensations, and what was real, but she’d always remember those feelings that washed over her, and that pushed her beyond the normal human limits. Just as she felt Alex shove hard into her, burying his cock in her well used cunt, she shivered as she felt him start to shoot into her.

Her whole body began shaking, and then she found herself thrashing as she distantly heard her voice calling out from some other room. Unbelievable sensations were washing over her, and she never felt as complete, as happy, or as one with the universe as she did then. She wasn’t sure the voice she heard was even hers and not some voice from the yawning chasm that seemed to be enfolding her. And then there was nothing.
