38 Implosion
I MISSED MY RIDE and had to call home to get someone to come and pick me up. Courtney arrived in the Suburban and I got in the passenger seat. She was out of her seatbelt and into my lap, leaving the car running, but fortunately in park.
“Can you take me someplace and fuck me? Spank my butt and ream my asshole. Anything you want, Brian. Please fuck me!” she pled while peppering my face with kisses. The short little skirt she was wearing rode up over her butt while she was squirming and I ran my hand over the exposed flesh. There were no panties in the way. I slipped my fingers down and found a well-lubricated passage to her pussy. My fingers were cold from standing out in the sixty-degree chill, but she moaned as I probed further.
I looked around. Courtney had pulled into a parking space as soon as I slid into the car. We had a van between us and the toll booth, but we were exposed on the Union side if anyone on the sidewalk fifty feet away bothered to look into the parking lot. I made a snap decision as Courtney licked my ears. I swear that had nothing to do with it. I unfastened my pants with one hand while I continued to play in her pussy with the other. As soon as I had them loose, I shoved my pants down my thighs enough to lift Courtney onto my cock with a sigh. Now we just looked like a couple of horny teens making out in the front seat of the car. Even if someone looked in the window, we both had our clothes on and her skirt covered where we were joined. There were enough kids on campus finding places to make out between classes that we wouldn’t even be that unusual.
“Oh, I love you, Brian.”
“Has there been more trouble today?”
“No. Thank God, she’s been in the barn with Maggie and Jess all day. Hannah went out to check on them when we got home. I just… I wanted you so much last night. And you didn’t come. Upstairs. I’m not insecure. I’m not. I just needed some loving and… Jennifer did her best, but I needed… This. Right. Now!” Courtney frantically pumped herself up and down on me and brought me off as she gasped her orgasm into my mouth.
“I love you, my courtesan. If this isn’t enough, I’ll be upstairs all night tonight. Maybe as soon as we get home,” I said. I kissed her again and she melted against me.
“I think there will be a line tonight. I might not get another chance.”
“Well, we’d better get rolling, then.”
“I’m going to leave a huge wet spot on the driver’s seat,” she giggled.
“Honey, you’ve already left a huge wet spot on the passenger side. It’s dripping down my balls even as we speak.” We laughed and ignored the problems as she hopped back into the driver’s seat and fastened her belt. I pulled my pants up and we headed home.
“It’s so nice to work with a professional,” Jessica effused when I came into the studio. I returned her offered kiss. “Jess is very sensitive. The framing is just right. He had the lights perfect. I’m really going to enjoy working with him,” she continued. “I have to run in and get ready for tonight. I’ll see you in a little while.” Jessica left as if she was floating on a cloud. I turned and saw Maggie roll her eyes. Hannah started laughing and Jess soon joined her.
“Brian, it’s good to see you again,” Jess said. “What a great setup you have here. And terrific people. I could happily work here full time.”
“It’s good to see you, too, Jess. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’re still a fledgling operation.” I kissed Hannah and greeted Maggie.
“Can’t I have a kiss, too? I feel left out,” she said.
“A friendly kiss,” I said. That was all I got out before she latched onto my lips. I finally got her detached. “We’ll talk about definitions later,” I said. “Now, what was all the laughter about? It sounded like Heaven was pleased.”
“She seems to think I made all the difference,” Jess chuckled. “All I really did was follow Maggie’s direction. It was her I was auditioning for. She does great work.”
“And Jess is great to work with. We were just showing Hannah some of the takes. He did capture exactly what I was going for in each instance. Look at this one with her coming down the stairs.” She played a video clip on the monitor. It looked great to me.
“She really turns it on when there’s a camera present, doesn’t she? You said Jess was easy to work with. How was she?” I asked.
“Heaven definitely has ideas of her own. But, in spite of the fact that she considers me to be just a student, she followed directions. The biggest problem is her acting. She doesn’t. She poses. She plays to the camera. I’m worried about her interacting with other humans in the show instead of just the camera.”
“I did notice that when we did the interviews with Elaine. We had to shoot her over Elaine’s shoulder in order to make it look like she was talking to Elaine. She tracks the cameras and just naturally turns to them,” Hannah said.
“Well, it looks like the number one reason for the test today was a success,” I sighed. “Maggie, if you like Jess and he likes you, let’s get an agreement in place. You’ll have to coordinate his schedule with Heaven’s and your ‘special guests’. You have artistic control of this project, not me, and not Heaven. And listen to me carefully, Maggie. I’m depending on you for more than good shots. If this project isn’t going like it should, you need to be on top of it. I’d rather can the production than have everyone suffer to put out a mediocre product.” Maggie looked at me with her mouth open. She glanced at Hannah, but Hannah was looking at me and ignored Maggie.
“Really, Brian?”
“Really, Maggie. If you say the project is a no-go, we stop production. Now why don’t you guys come in and have dinner with us? You don’t have to head back right away, do you, Jess?”
“No. I didn’t know how late we’d work, so I thought I’d just go check into a motel in town.” I glanced at Hannah and she nodded.
“We have a men’s dormitory upstairs and a guest room right there behind you. One or the other will always be available for you when you are down here working. Let me know if they aren’t adequate,” I said. “That goes for you, too, Maggie. When you are on the job and need to crash, there’s plenty of beds in the dormitory upstairs or the guest room here if it’s not in use.” We shut things down in the studio and walked over to the house.
“You aren’t ready! Go get dressed,” Jessica said. “It’s a nice restaurant, so make sure you put on a jacket and tie.”
“Jessica, I’m not taking you tonight.”
“But you have to. We’re meeting Adam for dinner and then coming back here. You don’t expect me to go alone, do you?”
“Honey, we set this all up when you were here in August. Lamar and Amy are going with you in Lamar’s Cadillac. It will be much better for your image.”
“What? I’ll look like my pimp is driving me!” Jessica almost screamed.
“Jessica, that’s uncalled for. Lamar and Amy are joining you and Adam for dinner. Lamar is well-known in town and has an offer from the Pacers to show up for training next month. He might be better known here than you are. And he and Adam are established friends. We’ve worked very hard to create this boyfriend relationship for you and Adam. Don’t screw it up now,” I said.
“Amy!” Jessica yelled. “Get your boyfriend and let’s go.” She walked out the back door as Lamar pulled up in his Deville.
“At least I get to have fun with Lamar when we get home,” Amy sighed as she followed her out the door.
I assumed that someone showed Maggie and Jess to rooms after dinner. I certainly got shown to mine. Not the one that was currently occupied by Heaven, but the third floor where my nine cónyuge were waiting for me. Even Doreen was up there. Sora had gone to town to meet Tim. Heaven didn’t know it, but they would be joining the table as old friends, as well. All six would be coming back to the ranch tonight. The other big bedroom on the second floor was occupied by Cassie, Mary, and Josh tonight and they had invited Angela to join them.
“Courtney already jumped the gun, so she has to wait for another turn,” Jennifer said. “Brian, we missed you. Please take us. Any order, any way you want. We love you.”
“Come close, my cónyuge. I want to hold and touch each of you. I love you. I want to be with you. I am so sorry that I’ve neglected you since Heaven got here. Regardless, I am here and I am not going to leave you tonight.”
Most of my lovers were content to be touched and hugged and kissed. Which doesn’t mean that no one wanted deep deposits like Courtney had received. Hannah was one. I found out she had latched onto Rose with such ferocity last night that Rose had come multiple times. And then there was Whitney.
“I know she’s what you always wanted and we weren’t in the plan,” Whitney whispered to me. “We all try not to be needy. If you need to go to her, we’ll understand. But we’ll cry.”
“Whitney, my love. My first lover. My defender. My master. I love you. I could never leave you. The thought has not crossed my mind. I love what we have together and I will defend that to my last breath.”
“Let’s hope you don’t have to,” she said as she pulled me into her. We loved for a long time.
I awoke with Liz on my left and Samantha on my right. Rose was tucked between my legs with my cock cradled against her cheek. My left hand, extended beneath Liz’s neck, rested on Doreen’s tummy. I was sure I felt a little twitch under my hand. Baby came to greet me. Hannah was behind Samantha with her arm over the two of us. Jen, Courtney, and Elaine were as close to my head as they could get. Whitney hugged my right leg with an arm over both Rose and me. I wondered how the heck I was going to sleep with Cassie, Mary, and Angela when they were with me, too.
I started to move but Liz kissed my cheek and pressed against me.
“Don’t bake this morning. Stay with us, please.” How could I resist that? I felt the hands of my cónyuge all touching me.
It’s coming to a head, isn’t it, my darling. It was never that way with you and me. From the first we knew it would be all of us, even when we were apart. But the fantasy and the reality of Heaven are in conflict. I love her, but I won’t sacrifice you for her. I won’t.
Heaven was in isolation when I got home after class on Friday. Amy was sitting in the breakfast nook with Elaine. What an anomaly in our community she was. She was a little older than the rest of us—more in Theresa and Larry’s age bracket. I knew she’d been in the Marines and she wore her hair short, but stylish. She was no taller than me and had shown me on a number of occasions how good looking she was without clothes. From what she said, she thoroughly enjoyed sex—and had done so with several of our cousins in the clan. But she was committed to no one and nothing other than Jessica’s safety. She was more relaxed in our environment than she was when working on a location with Jessica or traveling with her, but she was still always alert and scanning the surroundings.
“No Heaven out and about this morning?” I asked the two. I bent and gave Elaine a kiss that heated rapidly.
“She’s in her room. I took her coffee at her usual wake-up time of ten. She told me she had a headache and not to bother her today. And to pull the damned drapes so the sun wasn’t shining.”
“I haven’t even seen the sun yet today,” I said. I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat at the table. Elaine immediately got up and sat in my lap. She continued her amorous cuddling as we talked.
“I think her period finally started,” Amy said. “Maybe we’ll all have a little peace while she sleeps it off. I took her some Midol and Elaine gave me a heating pad. I wouldn’t go in there now until she emerges. I’ll take her some lunch at one.”
“How did things go last night?” I asked.
“You have to understand something, Brian. I love working for Jessica. In fact, I’ve grown to love her. We’ve been together for nearly five years. Not romantically or sexually—she’s really not into that—but as a person and a friend. I don’t think I could continue to do this job if I didn’t love her. But she still amazes me. She was angry and surly when we left here. She did not say one word to Lamar all the way to the restaurant. Then when we pulled up to valet parking and Adam opened her door, it was like a switch was thrown. She lit up like a Christmas tree, festive and happy to be with her boyfriend. She greeted Adam’s friends and teammates who were out, as well as a few random girls who wanted her autograph. It was nice to have Tim and Sora with us, too,” Amy smiled. “Are you listening or should I just go away?” she laughed. Elaine and I had been in another intense kiss.
“We’re listening,” Elaine said, “but we might be fucking while you’re telling the story if you don’t hurry up!”
“Well, I wouldn’t want to watch that, would I?” Amy laughed. “Okay. Here’s the short of it. The evening went well. She was sweet and charming and the life of the party. There was no booze; Adam appeared to dote on her. His car was brought around by the valet and he helped her into it. They left. Lamar and I followed with Tim and Sora in the back seat. When Adam pulled up to the back door here, he didn’t even get around the car to open her door before she was out and stomping across the deck. I jumped out of Lamar’s car and ran to join her. She said, ‘Go fuck your stud. I can find my way from here.’ She closed the door in my face. So I went and fucked my stud. God! I could get used to that big guy!”
“Mmm. Well, she does respond to an audience,” I said. “Or a camera. If you say she’s all right, then I’m going to take my cónyuge upstairs for a little loving. Would you like that, sweetheart?” I said, nuzzling her ear.
“I thought you’d never ask,” Elaine giggled. We headed for the stairs, leaving Amy to fend for herself as others arrived from Friday classes.
After Elaine and I had sated ourselves, we went to the kitchen to fix the casa dinner. It was one of the family’s favorite baked chicken recipes One by one, our hearthmates joined us. Everyone was exceptionally loving and mellow. I think the week had stressed us all and we were exhausted.
“I asked April to join us for dinner tonight, okay?” Hannah asked me as she hugged me and kissed me tenderly. “We might have a brownie later. Just one,” she whispered.
“Feeling stressed?” I asked, grinning at her.
“I’ve been in college four weeks and so far, I’ve learned that I don’t know anything!” she sighed. “How did I get to be a producer?”
“Don’t let it shake your confidence, honey. Those brownies must be getting old. You haven’t had one in a long time,” I said.
“Yeah, but I’m not going to eat a whole plateful of them this time.”
“Maybe everyone in the casa would like one tonight,” I whispered. “I’ll bake more next week.” She grinned at me.
“May I have a little kiss?” April asked. I pulled her into my arms. The kiss wasn’t so little. “Oh, wow. I could sure use more of that tonight.”
“Hey, Brian, Angela said to bring you these vegetables and tell you to cook them tonight,” Josh said. “She’ll be in as soon as she delivers the zucchini to the studio for tomorrow’s show.” I looked through the assortment of vegetables and began separating them into piles, making up what I’d fix as I went.
“Your novia would like time with you tonight, too,” Cassie said. “We wanted to make last night special for you and your cónyuge, but we’ll be cónyuge one day, too.” She kissed me and wiggled against me in a very sensuous way. Our kiss deepened and I found my hand under her T-shirt cupping her breast. “One day soon,” she whispered. When Mary took her place, she’d already removed her T-shirt and bra. I saw around me that clothes were being dropped as my hearthmates started to get comfortable.
“I love you, Brian. I want to feel you in me. I want to move with you in the moonlight and dance a song of love,” Mary whispered.
“My, but you are being poetic today.”
“I couldn’t concentrate in class today and thought I’d try my hand at poetry. I’ll recite it to you while you make love to me tonight,” she said. I dipped my head and sucked on her nipple while she held me to her breast and ran her fingers through my hair.
“Cónyuge, there are breasts that need to go in the oven. You need to pay attention to them, too,” Elaine giggled. I kissed Mary again and turned to work on the food.
While Elaine and I were wearing aprons to protect precious bits from getting burned or food splashed on them, we’d never gotten dressed after we showered. Amy came through the kitchen and squeezed my buns. I turned and she kissed me playfully.
“The queen is stirring. I’m going back to Casa del Sol. Don’t wait up for me,” she smiled. I patted her on the butt.
“Don’t you think you are overdressed?”
“If he wants my clothes off, he knows how to get them off. Quickly.” She left and a minute later another voice filled the air nearby.
“You’re all naked!”
“Join us, Jessica,” Jennifer said. “You know we love to have you with us.”
“Okay, but I have to leave my panties on,” she sighed. “I’m not going to run around with a string dangling down my legs.”
“I understand,” Rose said. “I have to wear a bra most of the time when everyone else is naked, or my boobs will be down around my knees before long. We’ve got carrots, celery, zucchini, red and white radishes, green onions, and Brian’s special low-cal green goddess dip for appetizers. We’re all just being laid back tonight.”
I felt arms encircle me and Jessica’s head rested on my back.
“You didn’t come to bed last night,” she whined.
“I went to bed with my cónyuge,” I said. “We needed time together.”
“I needed you, too.”
“You could have joined us. You can join us tonight.”
“You’re not sleeping with me tonight either? I want you with me,” she said.
“Not unless you come upstairs. I try not to spend more than a night or two a week away from my family,” I turned in her arms and held her. She didn’t lift her lips to kiss me and I could feel her tears on my chest. I just held her. “Hey, have you ever had edamame? Angela turned me on to these. You’ll like them and they are really good for you. Low calorie and high protein.” I led Jessica to the counter and showed her how to open the pods and pop beans into her mouth. She liked them and hovered over the dish as I returned to dinner preparations.
“So, after the game tomorrow, we can go over to that Kilroy’s Restaurant that you pointed out as we drove past the other day. And then we should find a nice romantic spot for dinner. It’s my last night here, so we should make the most of it,” Jessica said as we finished eating. She’d been talking all through dinner about her schedule and the places she was going in the next month before she’d be back for filming in mid-October.
“Jessica…” I started. She cut me off.
“And I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. You should come with me to New York next week. There’s already some buzz in the industry about the new show, so it would be good to have my executive producer with me to meet some of the designers. And then we can take the weekend in Paris before I have my shoot in Amsterdam. We’ll get back in plenty of time to tape the pilot. I figure that now that we’re together, we should be seen together more often. And now that we’re lovers, I don’t want to let you out of my sight. The past month was too lonely for words.”
“Jessica…” I started again. “I’m not going to the game tomorrow.” I don’t think she even heard.
“Where would you like to live, Brian? Paris? Rome? I’m so excited about you traveling with me.”
“Jessica…” I started again.
“I know I’m messy at the moment, but we can make love in the shower tonight and then I’ll sleep in your arms. You can have me however you want me.”
“Jessica! Shut the fuck up!” Rose shouted. She was standing. I’d never seen Rose so angry. It was the kind of display I’d expect from Hannah, but my pixie girlfriend was sitting opposite me with tears running down her cheeks. “What do you think you’re talking about? Brian leaving school? Traveling around the world? Now that you’re together? Leaving us? His show?”
“He’s my boyfriend now! I’ll take him wherever I want, whenever I want,” Jessica shouted back. Oh, fuck!
“You might be one of a kind in your little world of modeling,” Rose shot back, “but here, you are only one of twenty. Not only are you not first among equals, you aren’t even equal. We made our commitments. Here. To each other. We have a life here. A life together. We’ve invited you to join it, but you say you can’t abide by the agreement. And you surely aren’t tonight. You are supposed to treat everyone with respect and kindness. That includes our boyfriend and all the rest of us at this table.”
“He’s not yours anymore. He’s mine.”
“That’s not true, Jessica,” I said firmly. “I’ve always loved you, but you can’t come in here and try to destroy my family. I will never leave my cónyuge, my novia, or my hearthmates. I will never leave my clan. You created this. It is beautiful. You could be a part of it. I won’t let you destroy it.”
“Unless Brian tells us that he is breaking our threads and has decided to leave us, we are a family,” Rose continued. “We are his family and we will do whatever is necessary to protect and defend him. Even against you.”
“You’d choose them over me?” Jessica said, looking up at me. What I saw was heart-breaking. She truly believed that once we made love, I would be hers and we would go off together. I was going to break her heart, and I was going to do it deliberately.
“You should have realized that on New Year’s Eve five years ago,” I said softly. “I made these precious women a promise. Not only is it a promise I am obligated to fulfill, it is one I am overjoyed to have made. Jessica, it isn’t about words on paper. It isn’t about red threads or green robes. We love each other and I will never leave them. Not my cónyuge, not my casa, and not my clan.”
Jessica looked at me with tears running down her cheeks. She knew. She’d known all along and desperately wanted to not believe it. She stood from the table and with head held high walked to the stairs and up. I turned to the table.
“I was too harsh,” Rose said softly. “I’m sorry, Brian. You should go comfort her.”
“No, Rose. My place is at this table with you. With all of you. We have room at our table for others, just as we have room in our hearts. But our place is here.”
We cuddled together, fourteen of the seventeen in my casa plus April. I wished Sarah and Nikki were with us so I could include them in my embrace. This time, I was thankful that Doreen was with her other cónyuge. My hearthmates huddled in small groups and it was me that crawled from one to the other. And we all partook of the brownies. Of course, with that many people and only a dozen brownies, we didn’t get out of control high like we did when Hannah, Jessica, and I had shared a plate that size.
“My father would not believe that I had marijuana,” Cassie giggled. She lay beneath me as I ran my cock up and down her slit, pressing against her clit. “Oh God! Put it in, put it in, put it in!” she moaned. I withdrew and lowered my face to her pussy.
“Not while you are high and not in control,” I said. I looked at Josh and Mary. Mary was riding him and rubbing her clit on his cock the same way. “That goes for you two, too,” I growled. “Not while we’re high.” Mary whined and crawled up Josh’s body to sit on his face. I bent to the pussy in front of me and with two fingers searching Cassie’s inner reaches, I licked her until she whined her release. Her call was quickly joined by Mary’s. I think orgasms are contagious, like measles. Jennifer and Samantha both went off with Courtney and Hannah between their legs. Whitney, Liz, and Sora all had their hands busy between their legs. Angela was humping Rose’s thigh while Elaine and April were locked in a sixty-nine.
When I rolled Mary off Josh and wrapped my cock in a condom, it was like a signal for everyone to switch partners. When Cassie mounted Josh and he started sloshing in her wet pussy, Liz crawled over next to them.
“Please?” she whined to Cassie. Cassie giggled again.
“You’ve helped him often enough. He should help you now and then, too,” Cassie laughed. She held Liz’s hand to steady her while Liz settled her red pussy down on Josh’s face.
Saturday went as well as we could expect. Jessica actually bounced downstairs before I headed to the studio and was pleasant to everyone, as if last night had never happened. She met Lamar and Amy and left for the game. I knew that Maggie was there waiting for them and had arranged some kind of box seating for them.
My show was with the Tri-State Genealogical Society from Evansville. It was an entertaining group of women and each had an ancestral story that had to do with too many zucchinis in the garden. I had to wonder how many of them were made up, but the group seemed dedicated to real research. I had no idea how Lauren was getting guests these days. After taping sixty-two shows in our Bloomington studio, I was sure we’d pretty much exhausted local groups. Lauren said we were fine, though, so I trusted her.
In the afternoon, we turned around and taped a special with Xi House sorority from Western Kentucky University. We were playing their team in football today and I was pretty sure the game wasn’t over when they arrived.
“We didn’t mind leaving the game early,” Corky Anderson told me. “We were getting slaughtered.” The girls laughed and I had a feeling that the game wasn’t that important to them anyway. What was important for them to talk about, as I demonstrated the use of phyllo dough to make baklava, was autism awareness. These ladies were good and truly dedicated to helping advance autism research.
“We can’t all be the researcher that finds an answer to the causes of autism or the counsellor who makes a breakthrough in working with autistic children,” Elsa said. “But we can all contribute to the fight. We want to thank you, Chef Brian, for inviting us to be on Young Cooking and for your contribution to autism research.” I served the baklava with strong coffee for those who wanted it and milk for those who preferred it and the girls were very excited to meet Elaine and to see the place where Chick Chat was filmed. It was being broadcast on their local station in Bowling Green.
By the time they had left, most people were back from the game and there was already a fire lit. Lauren and her crew left and Elaine, Mary, and I went back to the house to change into our gis. We had enough baklava to keep us all on a sugar high all evening. Lamar, Amy, Heaven, Adam, Tim, and Sora arrived as we were settling in for our little ritual. They changed into gis and joined us.
“We got this idea from Casa del Fuego,” Doug said. “But it seemed to me that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. A few weeks ago, our hearthmate and my cónyuge, Doreen, became Brian’s cónyuge and was adopted into Casa del Fuego. That made her the first of us to be a full member of two casa. Tonight, we’d like to extend that adoption and make Brian a full member of Casa del Agua.” He tied a blue belt around my gi with my red belt. “Brian, my cousin, now my hearthmate. May the hearts of our casas beat as one in the child that will be born.” We hugged and I turned to hug and kiss Doreen. The hugs went on around the casa with Rhiannon, Sandy, and George.
I spent the night with Casa del Agua.
