Part 3: Robes of Acumen
Chapter 17

Ed drove the jeep into the driveway as the garage door opened. He 
pulled into John's normal space. Turning off the jeep, he sat back 
in his seat and rubbed his eyes. He and Leroy had taken turns 
driving home while John slept in the back seat. Leroy stretched and 
yawned. Ed looked in the back of the jeep at the sleeping form of 
John. He reached back and shook John awake. "We're home, 
John."

Yawning, John sat up and stretched his arms, as much as was 
possible within the tight confines of the jeep. He looked around at 
the garage. "Oh, we're home. Why didn't you wake me earlier?"

Leroy laughed at the suggestion and answered, "We weren't brave 
enough to return home with a tired John. Ling would skin us 
alive."

The men got out of the jeep and headed into the house. They were 
met at the door by Cathy. "John, you've had another invitation to 
the White House. I turned it down as per your standing order. You 
have a date tomorrow night with one of the wives in town. She'll 
be here around seven for dinner. The University called and wanted 
to know if you still intended to take a semester off from your 
lectures. I told them that your intentions had not changed. I've put 
your tax forms in your inbox. You need to look over them, but 
Jack and the IRS agent have both okayed it."

John mumbled, "Thanks, Cathy."

She turned to Ed and recited, "Your tax forms are in your inbox. A 
check arrived from the New York Diamond Exchange. They gave 
you a nice bonus. I deposited it in your account. A box of samples 
arrived from Antarctica. I put it on the table in front of your 
workshop. You have a date tomorrow night with Rosa. She'll be 
here for dinner around seven. A rather persistent student has called 
several times a day wanting to know if you'll be his advisor for his 
dissertation. I told him that you would be available to talk to him 
tomorrow at three."

Smiling Ed stated, "Thanks, Cathy. You're a lifesaver."

She turned to Leroy and recited, "Your thesis advisor called while 
you were out. I told him you'd be available tomorrow at three."

Leroy hugged Cathy. "I think you're the greatest."

Cathy smiled and returned to her office. The three men looked at 
each other. John stated, "Nothing to do until tomorrow afternoon. 
How about a swim?"

Leroy answered, "Sounds perfect to me."

The three men entered the poolroom laughing about crazy John. It 
took them a minute to realize that the room wasn't empty.  Mrs. 
Hayes, Ling, Kelly, and Linda were lounging on the chairs beside 
the pool. Dr. Hayes was in his wheelchair next to his wife. There 
wasn't a stitch of clothes on any one of them. Kelly asked, "What's 
so funny?"

Leroy took a quick glance in Linda's direction and then answered, 
"We were laughing about crazy John."

A confused look crossed Ling's face. She had never heard anyone 
refer to John in that fashion. "What about John?"

"Not John, crazy John!" asserted Ed.

Laughing, John got a crazy look on his face. "I can see by all of the 
nipples in the room that these are all earthlings. You two, I'm not 
sure about. Do you have nipples? I have nipples, very good 
nipples. I bet you're from Cro. Are you Cronians?"

Ed and Leroy laughed as they took off their shirts. Ed stated, "We 
have nipples."

John frowned and looked crazy for a minute. He asked, "Are you 
sure those are nipples? They might be painted on. I'm not going 
back in space."

While Ed and Leroy laughed, they slipped off their shoes and 
pants. John took off his cloak. Kelly asked, "So what is all this talk 
about Cronians?"

Leroy answered, "We found some car thieves in Denver. John 
went over to them acting like crazy John and watched them until 
the police arrived. The car thieves were quite confused by all of the 
talk about Cronians too."

Dr. Hayes smiled at the image. "Very nice. I bet they thought you 
were mad as a hatter."

"Yes they did. They even asked me if I was an undercover cop. I 
told them I was FBI. They didn't believe that either."

Linda still looked puzzled. "Why would you watch them until the 
police arrived?"

As the men finished undressing, Ed explained about the car theft 
ring they had broken up that night. By the time Ed finished telling 
the story, all three men were naked and standing by the pool. John 
quipped, "Last one in is a…"

He didn't get to finish as both Ed and Leroy jumped into the water. 
Leroy kept his cast out of the water. John added lamely, "great 
guy."

Everyone laughed as he finally got in the water. Ed and John took 
a couple of laps, while Leroy walked around. He couldn't wait until 
he would be able to swim and splash water like everyone else. He 
looked over at Dr. Hayes and realized that he was actually very 
lucky in comparison. 

The men got out of the water and sat down with the women. John 
asked, "So what has everyone been up to the past few days?"

Dr. Hayes stated, "Well, I've been talking to Kelly about opening 
that clinic here in town. She's basically got it all set up. I think 
we'll try to open it in two weeks. I'll be working out of a wheel 
chair, but that shouldn't matter."

Kelly added, "I've rented an office. It's not much, but it's a start. 
I've been over there every day fixing it up."

Smiling, Ling stated, "I arrested my first drunk driver. Outside of 
that, everything has been very quiet in town."

Mrs. Hayes stated, "I've been over to the house watching them 
finish the interior. It should be ready in a week."

Everyone looked at Linda waiting to hear what she had done. She 
blushed as she looked away shyly. She found her courage to say 
something, "I got a job at the library."

"That's great," stated John pleased that she was thinking about 
staying in the house.

Leroy asked, "Why at the library?"

"I like books. I realized there was one thing that I really wanted to 
do. I want to write a book. However, I knew that I needed to work 
while I was doing that. The library sounded perfect for me."

"I'm really happy for you. It sounds like a perfect choice." John 
realized that some fundamental changes had occurred among 
several key people while they were in Denver. He was still having 
a hard time believing that Dr. and Mrs. Hayes were lounging 
around the pool naked. They didn't look too bad without their 
clothes. Their pubic hair had turned gray and Mrs. Hayes breasts 
sagged a bit, but they were both in good shape. 

He glanced over at Linda. There was no doubt that she was 
gorgeous. Her breasts looked young and full. The areola of each 
breast was a dark brown tipped with a very large nipple. She had a 
luxurious growth of pubic hair.  

He turned to Kelly, "So how's the mother to be feeling?"

"I'm feeling great. I don't have morning sickness or anything."

Dr. Hayes remarked, "She's doing perfectly with her pregnancy. 
I've never seen one progress so nicely. She's very healthy."

John sat back and enjoyed the company around him. It was nice to 
back at home and surrounded by a loving family. Linda finally 
burst out, "Hey, aren't you guys going to say anything?"

Leroy asked, "About what?"

"About the fact that I'm naked."

Ed laughed. "So is everyone else."

"I told you they wouldn't say anything. They'd treat you like you 
were fully clothed."

Mrs. Hayes snorted, "I can't believe they didn't make any remarks 
about this old wrinkled body."

In a very serious tone of voice, John replied, "I only see beautiful 
people in this room. Mrs. Hayes is glowing with a newfound 
confidence. Dr. Hayes looks happier than I've ever seen him, 
accepting a lifestyle that he's probably always wanted. I see a 
young woman that has found her passion and is about to unleash it 
on an unsuspecting world. Leroy sees himself as a human being 
that can embrace all that life has to offer him. Kelly has that glow 
that a woman achieves only in the creation of a new life. Ling, 
well, she's following her path to happiness."

Dr. Hayes stated, "You're quite perceptive."

"He's much more perceptive than you would credit him for. He's 
worked hard to bring everyone to this point. He's offered me a 
chance to explore my personal boundaries without pressure. He's 
kept from sleeping with Linda until she's found herself. You don't 
think it was an accident that Bob and Sarah were always naked 
when it was their turn to watch over you?" offered Leroy. He knew 
he wasn't fully aware of all that John was doing to help people 
become all that they could be. 

John stood up and walked over to where his clothes were laying on 
the floor. He picked up his robe and slipped it over his head. He 
turned to Leroy and corrected him, "The only thing I do is love the 
people around me. It's that simple."

John left the room and headed to his room. He picked up a large 
box and then left to find Marguerite. He found her in the kitchen. 
"Marguerite, is there anything special planned for dinner tonight?"

Marguerite turned and looked at John, her eyes spending most of 
their time on his package. "No, nothing special."

"Could you prepare an intimate dinner for two to be served in my 
room this evening at about seven?" John shifted the box under his 
arm. 

The grin on Marguerite's face went from ear to ear. "So, you're 
finally going to give that poor girl the relief that she's been 
wanting."

"Could you add a simple snack to be brought by the room around 
ten?"

Marguerite asked, "Would you prefer finger foods that you can 
feed to each other or something a little more formal?"

"Finger foods, please."

A meal of finger foods was a tough order as there aren't many 
meals made of just finger foods. She smiled as she had an idea of 
the perfect meal. She smiled, "I have an idea, it's not exactly finger 
foods, but I think it will have the appropriate effect."

"Surprise me." John grinned at Marguerite and left to locate Cathy. 

Cathy was in her office working on family books. She was to meet 
with Jack the next week to go over the finances and to file the 
quarterly taxes. She didn't notice John enter the room until he 
cleared his throat. She looked up and apologized, "Oh, sorry John. 
I was working on something."

"Must be interesting."

"Not really."

John smiled as he asked, "Well, how about something a little 
different?"

"Like what?"

"I would like you to print up an invitation to Linda for a private 
dinner this evening at seven in my room. I would also like this box 
given to her with the invitation."

Cathy grinned. "So, you're going to give the woman what she 
needs. It's about time."

John shook his head in denial. "I've been giving her what she needs 
for a long time now. I'm going to give her what she wants. Okay?"

"Sure boss," Cathy snickered. She turned to the computer and 
typed up a very quick invitation. 

John looked over her shoulder at what she was typing. He frowned, 
"That should be 'intimate dinner' rather than 'rousing good fuck'."

"You're no fun at all." Cathy laughed. She made the change and 
then continued working on the invitation.

"That should be 'his room' and not 'pleasure pit of the greatest stud 
on earth'."

Cathy made all of the corrections and then printed it up on a heavy 
paper. It looked appropriately formal. She put it in an envelope and 
sealed it. She taped it onto the box that John had set on her desk. 
John thanked her and went back to the poolroom. 

Cathy watched John leave the room. She immediately turned back 
to her computer and made a second invitation that read as she had 
intended. She wrote a note on it that John wouldn't let her send out 
that version, but it was probably closer to the truth. She taped that 
one onto the package as well, knowing that Linda would appreciate 
it.

There was a knock on the door at exactly seven. John answered the 
door to find Linda wearing the emerald green dress that John had 
purchased for her. He invited her into his room. She smiled at him 
and entered slowly. There was a table set in the middle of the 
room. On it were a fondue set and some long forks. Soft music 
played in the background setting a comfortable atmosphere. Linda 
wasn't familiar with the artist, but she liked the music.

John led her to the table by a single hand and gave her a seat. She 
sat down demurely as he helped move the chair closer to the table. 
She stated, "I'm not sure which invitation I accepted."

"Pardon?"

"I'm not sure if I accepted the intimate dinner or the rousing good 
fuck."

John looked horrified and blurted, "I'm going to kill Cathy!"

Linda laughed aloud at his discomfort. "Don't worry, she signed 
her version of the invitation. I know that you are far too classy for 
something like that. Besides, we have often joked about any 
invitation you might send would really translate into an invitation 
for a rousing good fuck."

John shook his head amazed at how everyone in the house had 
private jokes with others. He laughed, "Okay, I won't kill her. I'll 
just get revenge one of these days. Now, Marguerite has prepared 
quite a nice meal for us."

Linda looked at the cheese fondue and asked, "How do you eat 
this?"

John took one of the long forks and stabbed a piece of bread in it. 
He swirled the bread around covering it well with the melted 
cheese. He held it over the pot for a moment allowing it to cool. He 
then held the fork out for her to take the morsel impaled on the end 
of it. She leaned forward and ate the cheese covered bread off the 
end of the fork. She smiled, "So that's how you do it."

John nodded as she went through the same activities. She held the 
fork up for him. He ate the cheese-covered bread off the fork. 
Some of the cheese ran off the bread and covered his chin. She 
laughed at him and teased,  "Isn't that supposed to be done in a 
more sexy fashion."

"You're supposed to lick any errant cheese off the person your 
feeding."

Laughing, she stated, "You can't be serious."

"Very serious. And if the bread drops off the fork when it is in the 
cheese, you have to kiss the other person."

"Hmm, sounds like a fun kind of meal."

John stabbed another cube of bread and swirled it around in the 
cheese. He held it out for her to eat, but as she leaned forward, he 
pulled it back making her lean forward more. She giggled and bit 
the morsel from the fork.

It was her turn and the piece of bread fell of into the cheese. She 
fished it out and fed it to John. He stated, "Hmm, you have to kiss 
me."

Linda leaned forward and kissed him chastely on the cheek. The 
disappointment was clearly written across John's face. She giggled 
at the look on his face and he smiled in return. He teased, "I'll get 
you back for that."

They feed each other until each was comfortably full. Several 
accidents had occurred and the kisses got increasingly more 
intimate. When they had finished, Linda looked at him for a 
minute. Afraid, she asked, "You really do care about me, don't 
you?"

"Yes, I do." 

"Kiss me," begged Linda. She couldn't believe how much she had 
come to love the white man that had entered her life. She 
wondered what he saw in her.

John leaned across the table and gave a chaste kiss on the cheek. 
She laughed, "Okay, so you got me back. Now kiss me."

John ran his lips across her lips, tickling her with the extremely 
light touch. Her lips parted, as she wanted more. He ran his tongue 
across the upper lip and then slowly sucked her lower lip between 
his lips. She finally grabbed him and pulled him tight to her. She 
kissed him deeply. 

He stood and led her away from the table. They held each other 
tightly and kissed deeply as their hands roamed. She broke the 
kiss, "I want to feel your body under my hands."

John lifted the robe over his head. He slipped off his boxers and 
the house slippers. He stood before her naked. The only adornment 
was the gold chain with the three medallions around his neck. She 
stepped back and looked at him. She whispered, "I've never really 
looked closely at a naked man before."

"Come here and look all you want. Examine every inch of me until 
you feel comfortable with my body."

She came close and ran her hands across his chest, taking in the 
sparse chest hairs and strong muscles. She looked at the scars and 
traced them with her fingers. She ran her hands down his body to 
his cock and touched it very hesitantly. She knelt down to get a 
good look at his cock and balls. Her mouth was parted and her 
tongue slowly licked her lips as she moved his flaccid cock and 
lifted his ball sack. She jumped when his cock reacted to her touch. 
She watched it slowly become erect, her hand touching it 
throughout the process. It was hard to believe that the cock could 
swell like that. She looked at the fully erect monster cock with 
wide eyes. She looked up at him, "Is that huge thing supposed to 
go inside me?"

He touched her hair, enjoying the feel of her soft long black hair 
under his hand. He smiled down at her and answered, "Yes, but 
you have to be ready for it."

She stood up and looked at him. Her fears were coming to the 
surface as she asked, "You'll help me?"

John pulled her close and kissed her deeply. She sighed when he 
finished. He stepped back and slowly undid her dress. It fell to the 
floor easily. She stood in her shoes, bra and panties. John ran his 
hands across the exposed parts of her body. She pressed herself 
against his hand, enjoying the feel of his masculine touch on her 
skin.

John led her to the bed in the bedroom. He gently laid her on the 
bed and then crawled in to lie beside her. He kissed her lips and 
then kissed his way to behind her ears. While there, he nibbled on 
her earlobes. She moaned in passion, unable to believe the 
sensations that his lips were arousing within her. He kissed his way 
down her neck to the clasp of her bra. He reached over and undid 
the clasp. With slow deliberateness, he removed the bra from her 
breasts. He returned to her neck and kissed his way down to the 
valley between her breasts. His hands gently and softly traced their 
way around the bottom of her breasts. He kissed her breasts, 
staying away from the sensitive nipples. He hadn't even touched 
them yet, but they were stiff. The soft hairs of his beard tickled her 
skin. She grabbed his head and brought it to her nipples. He kissed 
them lightly and then sucked them between his lips. He ran his 
tongue over them, getting them wet and then moved back to blow 
on them. She arched her back and then he nipped them between his 
teeth. The suddenness of his action brought a low animal moan out 
of her. 

He kissed his way down to her navel while running his hands along 
her legs. His hands met her panties and he slipped them down. She 
raised her hips to help him remove her panties. He went back to 
kissing her breasts. She was flushed with excitement and breathing 
heavily. He ran his tongue around her nipples as she moaned.

He kissed his way down to her pussy. He pulled her hair out of his 
way with his lips. The tugs increased her excitement. He licked her 
pussy lips with a rigid tongue avoiding touching her clit. She was 
moaning constantly now. She grabbed his head and pulled it to her 
pussy. She moaned, "You're as good as Kelly at this."

John had little choice but to lick her clit, she was holding his head 
over the clit with an iron grip. He flicked his tongue across it with 
fast soft flicks. She locked her legs around his head and arched her 
back as she came. He gave an occasional lick to prolong her 
orgasm. Her moans had changed to a scream. 

She relaxed a little and he went back to work. He thrust his tongue 
into her pussy like it was a cock. He avoided the overly sensitive 
clit. Her excitement levels grew again to near orgasmic levels. He 
licked her clit and she had a second orgasm. Her legs clamped 
down on his head while her hands pulled at his hair. She screamed 
louder than before.

When she had finally relaxed her grip on his head with her legs, 
John slid a finger into her dripping cunt. His face was covered with 
her womanly juices. His cock, leaking pre-cum, demanded release. 
He moved up and positioned himself to enter her. He rubbed his 
cock across her opening, She tried to pull him into her, but he 
continued to tease her with his cock. 

Finally, he slowly entered her. He hadn't gotten much of his cock 
into her when he encountered her hymen. John held onto her and 
rolled over onto his back pulling her with him. She was now lying 
atop him. He helped her into a position where she was sitting 
astride him. He urged her gently, "Move down at your own 
comfort. If it starts to hurt, stop."

She slowly lowered herself on his cock until it encountered her 
hymen. He lay still so as not to drive his cock through her 
maidenhead. She pressed down a little and then eased up. The next 
time she pressed down, he rubbed her clit. The shock of his touch 
on her sensitive clit made her forget the pain. Her maidenhead 
burst as she experienced another small orgasm from his manual 
manipulations of her clit. 

She lowered herself until his cock was fully inserted. She began 
small up and down movements on his cock. Her moans resumed, 
building in volume until they reached a low scream. Her 
movements became more intense as she took her pleasure from his 
cock. As John ran his hands over her breasts, she started 
screaming, "Oh God, I'm coming again."

She slumped down against his chest. John positioned her legs and 
then rolled over so that she was on her back. Lifting himself on his 
arms, he started to thrust. He gave a full deep thrust and then 
paused. Then he gave her two deep thrusts that were followed by a 
pause. He continued in that fashion increasing the number of 
thrusts by one until he reached ten thrusts followed by a pause. Her 
body reacted with increasing excitement. He returned to a single 
thrust followed by a pause. This time when he hit ten thrusts, she 
came again. Now his pause was enforced by her legs locking 
behind his ass, holding him in place. When she relaxed, he started 
over again. Again, she came when he reached ten thrusts. 

He brought her through four orgasms in that fashion before his 
excitement grew to a level where he could hold back no more. He 
came inside her with a mind-blowing orgasm. Her screams were 
only matched by his roar. He pulled out of her, as his sensitive 
cock could not take any more sensation. 

He lay beside her in the bed, holding her tightly to him as they 
both recovered from their sexually induced bliss. She made little 
cooing noises as she snuggled tight to him. She was about to speak, 
but he held a finger to her lips. He told her, "I love you."

"I love you too," she replied. She giggled, "So that is what a 
rousing good fuck feels like."

John laughed at the unexpected quip. "I guess so."

She turned so that they were spooning, with her back pressed 
tightly to his chest. She took his hand and placed it on her breast. 
She stated, "I was so worried that I wouldn't be any good at it. I 
don't think that is possible."

John smiled, "It is possible. You could have lied on your back and 
counted ceiling tiles."

"Who'd want to do that?"

John laughed, "I have no idea."

She enjoyed the sensation of being held close. John's hand gently 
rubbed her breast occasionally playing with her nipple. She felt 
like she could stay in that position forever. She asked, "What do 
we do now?"

John smiled, "Well, we could take a shower together and then eat a 
little snack. If you're up to it, we can come back and explore each 
others' bodies some more."

Sadness entered her voice as she asked, "Will we ever do this 
again?"

John stated, "I would like it if you would join our family, but I 
don't want to pressure you."
