I was almost there -I could feel myself getting closer to that edge. I grabbed a handful of my little whore's red hair and pushed her head down, making her take my cock deeper into my mouth until she choked on it. "Yeah, take it, Lisa." I groaned, smirking when I felt her gag around my cock. She ran her hands up my thighs, raking her fingernails along my skin and it did me in -I bucked my hips roughly, still holding onto her hair as I came down her throat, cursing and grunting loudly. God, she was so fucking good with her mouth. And thank god no one was in the office. "Get dressed and get out." I mumbled, tucking myself back into my pants, "I need to get home." "To your loving wife?" Lisa snapped, "When are you going to leave her, Drew? She's not stupid. You know she knows you're fucking around." "She doesn't know shit, Lisa, now get out." My wife was clueless. We had been married for five years now -together for seven. I had married her based on the fact that I needed to -a man at thirty two was suppose to settle down, as I was taught. And mom always liked her. I had been fucking around behind my wife's back after the first month of our relationship. The sex was great with her -it always was. She's just...dependable? No, not dependable...convenient. A warm body to fuck when I cant go out anymore. I'm not into marriage. I don't believe in it. Last month she had found a girls phone number in my brief case when she was looking for a pen. I had to convince her that it was a client's number. She bought it -she's stupid and naive like that. She trusts too much -especially me. And I was late coming home yet again. I sighed heavily, getting out of my car and walked carefully to the front door, making sure not to wake her up. I knew I smelled like sex and I didn't need her bitching about it or finding out -making me have to explain why exactly I was fucking my secretary, who actually thought I cared about her. And there she was -my wife. Standing in the living room, across from the front door. I smelled the cigarette smoke in the air and froze -I hadn't been expecting her to be up. "I waited up for you." her sweet voice filled the silence. Her long blond hair fell in waves down her back, a light silk robe draped around her fell to the floor in a puddle and I grew hard at the sight of her. She had bought new lingerie -and she looked so sexy. She always had. Her body was in perfect shape -flat stomach and lean legs that went on for miles. Some of my buddies couldn't understand why in the hell I would cheat on her. But I did. I pulled her against me and she ran her fingers through my hair. She loves my hair -pulling on it, burying her fingers in it. She could go on and on sometimes about how good it felt rubbing against the insides of her thighs when I went down on her. She said something about me working, but I didn't listen. I didn't care. I just followed her to out bedroom, kissing and licking her skin every now and then. She always tasted so good. I had her pinned beneath me now, pressing my lips against hers and slowly making love with my mouth. She moved against me, kissing me back with just as much energy and want. God she felt so good under me like this. I ran my hands all over her -anywhere I could touch. She bucked her hips when I cupped her through her panties lightly, feeling the moisture. I teased her through the lace, dipping my fingers around the material and into her hot core. She groaned and arched against me. How can I deny my wife anything? I smirked against her lips and pumped my fingers in and out of her until she couldn't take it anymore. "Do you trust me?" she asked several moments later. "Of course, baby." I grinned. How can I not trust her. She's totally devoted. She disappeared into the closet for a moment, then came back with a couple strips of material in her hands. I knew I paled at the sight. I always tied her down, not the other way around. Call me a control freak, but...well okay so I'm a control freak. But I trust her. The next ten minutes of so, I kind of blocked out. I was too busy remembering Lisa's lips wrapped around my cock, begging for more. She had such a lovely mouth, really. Perfect size for my cock. And her tits too -they were large and had a perfect spot for me to slide my member between. My wife had her lips wrapped around my cock. If anyone knew how to suck me off the best -it was her. She teased me, like always, to the brink of insanity. Lips, tongue and teeth were used. Taking me deep into her throat then back to teasing the head of my cock, licking it like a damn lollipop. She was so fucking good at giving head. I was beginning to see stars. I was almost there -again. But she fucking stopped. Just stopped. I hate when she does that shit. And she knows it. "Baby please..." I whispered, giving in to her power-trip slightly. I just want to come. She crawled up my body, grinding against me with those damn panties and kissed me hard. Just like I like it. She felt so fucking good, rubbing against me like that, and I know that she loves the way I feel too, so I bucked up hard against her, making her moan into me. I smirked. But I needed her I wanted her. I wanted to come. "Need you." I mumbled. After she slipped her panties off, she sank down on me and I was gone. For that fraction of a second, I think I died. She always felt so fucking good wrapped around me like that. Her muscles clenched tightly around me and I panted heavily. Until she slipped off my cock and grinned at me. "Fuck!" I cursed loudly. All I want is to come, and I cant even do that. Yeah, Lisa made me come, but I wanted it again. I could never get enough. She reached into the nightstand drawer for something -I don't know what for and I couldn't care less, but her tits were heavily sitting in front of my face, just begging for some attention. What kind of a husband would I be to ignore them? She was riding me with earnest now, and yet again, I was gone. Completely gone. Her hips bucked, and she rode me up and down my hard shaft, needing release for herself as well. Call me a selfish lover, but all I'm concerned about right now is coming again. I focused on her breasts as they swayed and bounced with her every move. God she had great tits. Her muscles contracted around me as she bucked her hips and moved against me. I knew I was groaning loudly -who wouldn't, when a woman like this was fucking you into the mattress? When I looked up at her, she smirked and stopped moving completely, sliding off my body. What the fuck was going on? "Baby...what's going on?" "Why don't you tell me?" she held up a piece of paper with a name and number on it. Tracy. From accounting. Shit. "Baby, that's nothing." I lied. I had fucked Tracy in the supply room last week, and she had given me her number. Like I would even use it. But she did have a night tight, pink pussy that was worth it. So I put it where I thought she wouldn't look -but stupid me- she did. "Fuck you... don't call me baby!" She proceeded to get her shit out of the closet and pack them into suitcases. I was still lying, tied, on the bed, hard and aching. I needed to come and my wife was leaving me. Thank you, karma. "Come on Angela!" I yelled at her. She ignored me. "I'm sorry, okay. It was nothing. You know I love you." Still nothing. "I said I was sorry! I'm sorry! Hello!?" I yelled some more. She ignored me. I hate being ignored and she knows this. "At least untie me!" I grunted, "Angela! Fucking untie me! You cant just leave me here." She was going to fucking leave me here...naked as the day I was born, hard and aching. That bitch. "You know what. I'm not sorry! Fuck you Angela! Fuck you!" I spat. "Took you long enough to see what was right in front of you." I watched her pack up the leather jack I had bought her in Italy on our honeymoon. "That's right, leave. Your not wanted!" She caught me -I gave up yelling. It did nothing. I heard her calling my mother in the living room to tell her that she ought to come take care of me because I was sick or something. What a bitch move. Calling my mother? Fuck you, Angela. And she left me. God I was going to miss her. Enough Ch. 02 Chapter 2 JAKE AND ALLISON FROM CHAPTER 1—ENOUGH On John's 55th birthday he and Jake took John's last trip to Chaos. After their mission he had Jake get his own box and they transferred all John's equipment except for one set into it. John did keep one set of equipment, his favorites, in case he ever decided to undertake one final mission. Traci Caretaker cried when John was getting ready to leave for the final time. As he was going through the portal she said, "I will never forget you my Hero, my love. Remember me with fondness and if you ever decide to have just one more adventure know I will be waiting to take care of you once more. Give Tessa my love when you see her." John and Jake stepped from the Portal in his arms room and Tessa rushed into his arms. There were tears in her eyes as she wrapped her man in her arms. She hardly noticed when the young woman who had been waiting with her flung herself into Jake's arms also. Tessa and John walked quietly from the room and did not see or hear the young woman when she pushed back from Jake slightly and said, "So, it's true isn't it? Crossroads and Chaos really exist don't they? I saw you disappear and reappear in front of my own eyes or I would have never believed. Jake I'm going to be your Companion on Chaos just like I intend to be your Companion and wife here on Earth. When are we going on your next mission? I can't wait to meet your Caretaker!" "Honey you not only get to meet my Caretaker, you get to help me pick one out just like Mom did with Dad. We'll go on our first mission together just as soon as Mom and Dad say we are ready. We have to get you trained a little better before I will take you to that dangerous place." Allison threw her arms around Jake and gave him another kiss. "I love you so much Honey. Come on. Let's go see your parents now." Chapter 2 Young Jake closed and locked the door into the inner arms room. After he was sure it was secure he turned back to Allison. She took his hand and they walked from the outer arms room holding hands. Jake stopped, closed and locked that door also then turned to Allison. He wrapped her in his arms and gave her a deep kiss. While they were straining against each other he gently, sensuously ran his hands up and down her sides and over the cheeks of her nearly perfect little ass. Each time his hands reached the sides of her breasts he let his thumbs run over her nipples. In Jake's eyes Allison was absolutely perfect. She was about 5'6" tall. When she stood in front of him her forehead came almost even with his lips. She had absolutely perfect C cup breasts and her nipples were almost always hard and so, so sensitive. He could make her cum just by playing with those little nubbins of pleasure. Her small 24 inch waist flared out to that perfect ass he liked to watch and caress. And her pussy; her pussy was the perfect receptacle of pleasure. It was always moist, well lubricated and ready for him. It had the most divine flavor when he licked it. It was sweet yet redolent of constantly aroused female. The liquid that ran from it was sooo slick. Jake could never get enough of his little Allison. He always felt so alone as if a part of him was missing when she was not with him. He would gladly give his life for her if the need arose. Allison moaned and pressed tighter against Jake. "Oh, Jake honey I love you so much. Now, please stop before we get in trouble here. We need to find your parents before they come looking for us and catch us doing something we shouldn't." Jake laughed and said, "Honey don't you think they know what we're doing? Want to bet they aren't doing the same thing somewhere else? Mom and Dad are a lot like us; or rather we are a lot like them. We're all highly sexed individuals and are happy with just enough material things to live comfortably. I just hope you are as understanding as Mother is about all my duties on Chaos or rather on Crossroads." "Oh, silly, of course I will be. I have heard the stories your family tells ever since I began dating you seriously. I've read your grandfather's journals and know you risk your life to rescue those Damsels on Chaos. I'm fine with that. In fact that is such a wonderful service you provide I am so proud of you." Jake looked slightly worried when he heard her comment. He said, "Are you sure you understand everything I do for the Damsels Allison? You know a lot of what I do isn't just rescue them and escort them back to Crossroads." "Of course silly. I know you care for them and see to their happiness. I have read time and time again how appreciative the Damsels are to their Heroes when they are rescued and taken back to Crossroads. I just can't wait to see the rewards they give you for your service. It would be soooo cool if you could bring the rewards back with you so we could show my parents and our friends." Jake looked ill when he heard Allison's statement. He wondered how he would explain the rewards that were due him and the Damsels. He thought Allison had understood the rewards and duties he had back on Crossroads but now he understood she had somehow misunderstood; heck, she had just plain missed out on the knowledge of what his reward truly was for rescuing the Damsels. He sighed, took her hand and said, "Come on Honey. We need to find Dad and Mom. If you are really serious about being my Companion we need to completely fill you in on Crossroads and Chaos and clear up some misconceptions you may have about my duties as a Hero. We also need to lay out a training schedule for you so you will be able to protect yourself while we are on Chaos. Well, even if you don't want to be my companion on Chaos you need to know, to understand the rest of my duties to the Damsels after I rescue them. You also need to understand everything about Crossroads and Chaos before we make our first trip." Jake and Allison walked into the living area of the house with their arms wrapped around each other. Allison was looking up at Jake with adoration in her eyes and a flush on her neck. From the look of her flush and eyes you would know she was in love and aroused by her man. The twin points at the tips of her sexily swaying breasts only accentuated the look of lustful love she was giving Jake. As usual Jake was thankful Allison was a woman comfortable with her body, one who chose to enjoy the natural sway of her breasts and did not wear a bra. Many times when she wore a skirt she also went commando because she enjoyed the way she felt with nothing on underneath her clothes. When Jake and Allison reached his parent's living room they were nowhere to be seen. Jake looked around and smiled. He led Allison over to the breakfast area and opened the refrigerator. He reached inside and got them each an ice cold Mountain Dew. They had just taken the first sip when they heard rising moans and a rapid slap, slap, slap coming from the master bedroom. Allison's head came up and turned rapidly toward the door into the bedroom. When she realized what she was hearing she blushed deep burgundy and reached for Jake's hand. "Oh, GOD. Come on. Let's get out of here before they hear us. I can't believe" Jake felt his cock rising when he realized his mother was getting royally fucked. He pulled Allison to him and interrupted her sentence with a deep kiss grinding his hard cock against her as he did so. Just as the kiss broke they heard Tessa scream out her pleasure as an orgasm ripped through her. They heard John's deep guttural groan almost at the same time then Tessa began giggling. Jake gently took Allison's hand and led her to the couch. He sat down and pulled her into his lap. He gently ran his hand under her dress and found what he hoped he would find. When his fingers got to the apex of her legs she spread them slightly. Jake smiled while he gently caressed her naked and lubricious pussy. Every time his finger grazed her engorged clit she gave a quiet little yelp and thrust her hips toward his fingers. He pulled her to him with his other arm and began giving her gentle loving kisses. As her peak approached Allison bit her lower lip and moaned. She grabbed Jake's hand through her skirt. She tried to push him away. "Stop Honey. I'm going to cum if you don't stop right now. I'd just die if you made me do that and your parents heard or caught us. Please stop and let's go somewhere." Jake pulled Allison tighter to him and gave her another toe curling kiss. Instead of stopping he began to rapidly flick her hard little clit. He was enough stronger than Allison that she couldn't push him away. Finally she grabbed him and pulled him to her tightly. She engulfed his mouth with her own and slammed her crotch toward his teasing fingers. His mouth muffled the scream that she expelled when she tipped over the edge into her orgasm. Jake smiled and thrust two of his fingers into her dripping cunt to increase her pleasure. He tried to rub her G spot while she thrust her hips forward and back on his invading fingers. Allison had just relaxed back against Jake, laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around him when his parents came from their bedroom. Jake still had his hand under Allison's skirt and was still gently stroking her dripping little cunt. Tessa looked at the two young people on the couch and grinned. She said, "Why didn't you just go into his bedroom and do it right Allison? We wouldn't have minded if you had done that. I know you heard us. I expected you to do that when we heard you come upstairs. We always get wound up when someone is having sex and we overhear them. It is a normal reaction." Allison blushed a deeper red than she was already showing and hid her head in Jake's chest. "Oh, GOD. You heard? I'm so sorry. I tried to stop him." Tessa said, "Oh, poo. Don't let something like this bother you. Believe me I know how it is. I've lived the life you are going to live and I know how you get when your man is in danger and when he gets home. On the trips John made alone I got soooo horny thinking about what he was doing on Crossroads that I attacked him like I did today just as soon as he got home. You'll hear and see more than you have today when you become Jake's Companion. Just because he screws his ass off on Crossroads doesn't make him any less anxious to get between your legs when he gets back home either. In some ways I think it makes him want to do you even more to reaffirm his love for you." "WHAT? What do you mean he screws his ass off on Crossroads?" Allison turned and looked at Jake who, surprisingly, was slightly red in embarrassment. "Jake what does she mean by that?" John wrapped his arm around Tessa and led her to another couch across from the one Jake and Allison sat on. After they were seated he said, "I suppose this is as good a time as any to finish your indoctrination on Jake's duties and on the whole Crossroads, Cassandra and Chaos system Allison. I know we've been telling you about some of the things for some time but I think you were like most of us and really don't or at least didn't believe it." For the next hour John, Tessa and Jake told Allison about Crossroads, Cassandra and Chaos in great detail. This time they covered the reward system for the Heroes and Damsels. They also discussed in some detail the rules she would have to follow if she were to become Jake's Companion on his adventures. As the briefing continued Allison became more upset and uneasy about her relationship with Jake and his duties and rewards as a Hero. Finally after the family had stopped the briefing and answered most of her questions she sat for a moment almost in shock. Allison looked at Tessa and John then turned to look at Jake. Allison returned her gaze to Tessa and said, "I don't know what to say. You mean you actually let John have sex with all those women he rescued and even let him have an affair with the woman you say was his caretaker? How could you do that? How can you think I will let Jake do something like that?" Allison turned to Jake and continued, "I thought you loved me Jake. I thought we were going to be married and be companions through our lives. How can you think of screwing around on me and expect me to just accept that? No. I won't do this. I won't let you do that. It's not right." Tessa looked at the stricken expression on Jake's face then turned her attention back to Allison. She stood and walked over to the couch Allison and Jake were sitting on. She said, "Jake why don't you and your father take a walk or something. I want to talk to Allison alone for a few minutes. I'll call you when we need you back." After John and Jake left the living area Tessa sat beside Allison and wrapped her in an embrace. Allison was gently crying. Tessa pulled Allison's head down on her shoulder while her body shook with her sorrow and tears. Tessa said, "Allison I think I know part of what you are feeling. I wanted to kill John on our first mission to Chaos when I found out what he was doing and what was expected of him. Neither of us knew much about the Hero business when we took our first trip to Crossroads. He was staying at the place in Colorado and I was falling...Oh, hell, I had already fallen deeply in love with him much as you have with Jake. We were forced to go to Crossroads to save John's life before I found out Crossroads and Chaos were real places." "I was dealing at a Casino in Cripple Creek then. Two men who had lost big at my table one night found out where I lived and were waiting on me to get home. They were going to beat me and rape me because they blamed me for their losses. They had already tied my grandfather up when I got home. They were fighting with me in my yard when John heard them and came to my rescue. We managed to subdue the men but John was shot during the fight. He would have died before we got him to a hospital. "John and I grew up hearing the tales of Damsels in Distress and the rescues John's and my grandfathers made. We both thought it was just a bunch of stories two old men made up at the time. We were both partly trained in the skills we would need on Chaos but we really didn't believe. Thankfully we had enough skill to win that fight in my yard the night John was shot. Even better we were trained well enough to survive on Chaos when we got there. "We were even more Lucky John had found his grandfather's ring and was wearing it that night. I pulled him into the house after he was shot. I was going to take him into the kitchen to try and stop his bleeding before we made a run to town and a doctor. I stopped a moment when I saw my tied up grandfather to release him. Instead of helping me with John Grandfather made me pull him through the door into the kitchen. Just before I backed through the door Grandfather told me to have the Hero Greeter put John into a healing chamber. There was a flash of light and we appeared in a bright white room. Almost immediately a very beautiful middle aged woman came through a door. I screamed at her that grandfather had told me to make sure she put John into a healing chamber immediately because he was seriously injured. "At that time I had no idea what a healing chamber was but I was terrified John would die so I did as I was told. The woman took one look at John and raised her voice slightly. She said, "Healing Chamber" as I recall and another door opened. There was a coffin looking box inside with a panel of lights on its side. She picked John up and carried him into the room. She lifted him into the box then closed the lid. She pressed some buttons and the panel lit up. There was a slight humming sound. "The woman turned to me and requested I follow her into another room to talk. She said her name was Evelyn Hero Greeter. While we were waiting for John to be healed she explained some of what I was seeing. She also got our names and the names of our grandfathers from me. I was so surprised when she raised her head and ordered files on all of us. She quickly scanned the files and turned to me with a smile. She said both our grandfather's and even my father were well known and respected Heroes on Cassandra. Both our grandmothers had been Hero Companions on some of the missions. "Allison after John was healed and we were briefed on the whole situation I found my feelings changing about John and monogamy. I was partly swayed by the fact our grandmothers knew what went on and accepted it. I was even more swayed by the dire need those women on Cassandra have for Earthmen's loving and sperm. I won't lie to you. I participated in much of what John did on Crossroads. I watched him make love with his Caretaker and the Damsels he rescued and it hurt. I was excited but I was jealous. I was always jealous but Allison John was serving a higher need. "Many of the women on Cassandra cannot have children. There are many reasons for that. Some of the reasons are the results of a war. Well I suppose in the end all the reasons boil down to that. Some of the women cannot conceive. The men are little wusses as a whole. It takes the women hours sometimes to get them erect and into their pussies. Many if not all the men cannot get fully hard so the sex is very unsatisfactory. Almost all the men are sterile. Without the Heroes it is possible humanity on Cassandra would completely die out. Our men impregnate the women and are slowly repopulating Cassandra. The reward, the reason those women put themselves into mortal danger on Chaos is the one child they are allowed to have fathered by the Hero who rescues them. Luckily enough of the Cassandran men manage to impregnate the women that the population is relatively stable. Of course over the years enough of the babies fathered by Heroes have been male that they are beginning to breed and increase the population. "Allison I just couldn't ask John to stop being a Hero when I found out what his service meant to all those women on Cassandra. He has about 180 children living on Cassandra. Many of them were male we have heard and many of them are able to function normally. Allison can you not feel what it would be like to so desperately want a child that you would put yourself into mortal danger just for the chance to have a Hero rescue you and impregnate you? "I made only one rule and it was iron clad. If I ever caught John fucking around on me here on earth he was toast. I know he got a huge charge out of screwing those Damsels and his Caretaker. I know he was in love with his Caretaker Traci and she was in love with him. We became almost like sister wives to John. She looked on our earthly family as if it were hers. "Allison Jake is so much like his father it is almost scary. I know as you do that he loves you dearly. I also know as you should that he would never cheat on you." Allison started to open her mouth to protest but Tessa shook her head and continued, "Allison what he does on Crossroads and Chaos is NOT cheating on you. If you are his Companion you will be with him during the whole trip. You will be participating in much of what he does and will be helping." Tessa smiled and continued, "I don't know of any red blooded highly sexed female such as we are who wouldn't get aroused on those trips. Technically Jake is not supposed to make love with you during your stay on Crossroads and Chaos. Many of the heroes have found ways around those restrictions and so far whoever enforces the rules has accepted the stretching of the rules as far as I know. "On Chaos the few times John and I made love we either just did oral or he took my ass. I believe the main reason for the restriction is because a pregnant female cannot pass through the portal. When we were on Crossroads we did oral some when I was especially needy after watching John with Traci or the Damsel he had rescued. He got me off then gave his seed to Traci or the Damsel. It worked and it helped me know John still loved ME just as Jake loves you. Enough Ch. 02 "Allison don't let this little thing ruin what you and Jake have. Treat it as I did. It is just part of his job. Think of the happiness he will bring to the Damsel by giving her a child. I know you will feel jealousy but when that monster raises its head slay it. Move to the bed and love your man while he is with his caretaker or the Damsel. Take him to bed here on earth if that is where the monster strikes. If you need more help with the monster come to me." By now Allison was crying. She hugged Tessa to her and buried her head in the crease of her neck. While she was holding Allison Tessa pulled her cell from her pocket and called John and Jake back into the room. When Allison saw Jake come through the door she jumped from Tessa's arms and ran to him. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him while she continued to cry. Jake gently held her and rubbed her back. Finally Allison pushed away from him and looked him in the eyes. She stood on her tip toes and gave him a gentle kiss then said, "Jake Harvey. I love you. I want to be your wife and your Heroes Companion. I think I can live with what you have to do on Crossroads but if you EVER fuck around on me back here on earth I will kick your sorry ass to the curb so fast it'll take a month for your asshole to catch up to it." Jake smiled and pulled Allison to him once more. "I can live with that Honey. I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course the same goes for you." Over the course of the summer John and Tessa put Jake and Allison through some grueling training. They had both been going to Karate classes for several years so that part of their training was just sharpened a little by teaching them some of the more dangerous killing strokes they had not learned yet. They got a lot of training in knife fighting, knife throwing, swordsmanship, archery and even fighting with staves. John took Jake well past the unarmed combat techniques he had learned in the Army. Jake could have walked onto any training field he had ever been on while in the army and taken on any or all the instructors by the time John pronounced him competent to travel on Chaos. Tessa and John both took them camping and hiking in national forests in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and in the mountains of Colorado to hone their camping skills. There were many days and nights spent training them to defend themselves against ambush and sneak attacks. In many ways their training was as tough and complete as that undergone by our military. The only difference was they did not use modern weapons and detection devices. Of course the entire summer was not filled with training for Chaos. The family still had its business to run. After Jake decided he wanted to take over the farm and orchard they had expanded the number of acres planted in all the different crops. They now had 60 acres of fruit trees and 15 acres of garden vegetables. The remaining 5 acres of the farm were given over to buildings, yards and parking areas. During the summer the family also remodeled the old farmhouse on the 40 acres John had purchased from his cousin years before. John and Tessa had never seen the need to remodel it and move from the quarters they occupied over the sales room in the old orchard building. The quarters above the sales area were where they lived when they were first married. It had always been enough for them. The young woman who had been taking care of the house for his cousin Marcie had continued to live there and worked out her rent by helping on the farm. She had become almost as much of a mother to John and Tessa's three children as was Tessa. Andrea had married three times but never had children. All her husbands had been total assholes. She had divorced each of them after varying numbers of years. Two had cheated on her and one had been abusive. She was now a permanent member of John and Tessa's family. During the remodel they made an apartment over the garage for her to live out her life in. Jake and Allison would occupy the house after they married. Finally John pronounced them as ready as they would ever be for their first mission. Jake proudly put his ring on his finger and he and Allison made plans to go. They decided they would take their first mission the day before their wedding was scheduled. This was done purposefully because of the heightened libido the adventures generated. Of course the knowledge that the Healing Chamber enhanced earth females' libido's helped with that decision. They felt their honeymoon would be much better with both of them on the high sexual plateau they would have from the mission and healing chamber. The wedding rehearsal and meal went well for the couple and the wedding party. By 2230 all the guests had gone and John, Tessa, Jake and Allison were standing outside the arms room. John hugged his son and stepped back. He said, "Remember it will only be 15 minutes here on earth but you could be gone months or years on Cassandra and Chaos. Most Heroes leave themselves notes to find when they return to help remind them of recent and future events that are important to them. While we are here you don't really have to do that but it is a good habit to get into. Now go. Have fun and above all remember what we have taught you and be safe." With tears in her eyes Tessa quickly moved to first Jake then Allison to give them tight hugs and a quick gentle kiss on the cheek. Allison smiled up at Jake and took his hand. They turned to the doorway that contained the portal and stepped through. Just as Jake remembered and Allison had been told there was a bright flash of light and they appeared in a bright white room. For Jake the only differences this time were being with Allison instead of his father and knowing that now HE was the Hero and responsible for not only his and Allison's safety but for rescuing a Damsel. They could literally live or die based on his skills and mission planning. Almost immediately a beautiful grey haired woman appeared from another door. She was dressed in a sheer flowing robe. The two young people could see all her treasures. Her perfect breasts swayed gently from side to side as she moved toward them. Her nipples were large and standing proud tenting out the sheer material over the breasts. Her pussy was shaved bare and glistened slightly with arousal. The woman stopped about four feet from the young couple and said, "Good evening. I am Evelyn Hero Greeter. Welcome to Crossroads. Could I have your names please?" Jake looked shocked. He stammered a moment then got a grip on his emotions. He said, "Evelyn Hero Greeter? But you look so young... that was the name of the Hero Greeter that met my father on his first mission..." Evelyn smiled widely and said, "I am older than I look young man. I must admit I am almost at the end of my career but I AM the Hero Greeter. It's so nice to meet the son of a Hero. I am pleased and honored to meet another generation of Hero. Now could I get your names please so we can begin the process of finding you a Caretaker?" "Yes, of course. I'm so sorry. I'm Jake Harvey and this is my fiancée on earth. She is going to be my Companion on Chaos. Her name is Allison Stevens." Evelyn turned and gestured toward another doorway that had opened in the wall. "Come. Let's go into the lounge and visit." When they entered the lounge Evelyn seated the couple. She sat facing them, looked at them for a moment then asked, "Do you need refreshment or a meal?" Jake and Allison both opted for a Mountain Dew. Evelyn turned her head slightly upward and to the side and spoke her order for the refreshments. Allison jumped when there was a gentle pop and the drinks appeared on the coffee table between the two couches on which they were seated. After she had served the drinks Evelyn raised her head slightly and said, "Files on Jake Harvey, Missouri, USA, Earth and Allison Stevens, Missouri, USA, Earth. Also provide the rule books for Heroes and Companions." There was another gentle pop and two folders and two books appeared on the coffee table. Evelyn leaned forward and picked up the books. She looked at the titles before handing Jake the rulebook for Heroes and Allison the one for Companions. Evelyn then picked up the largest folder and began reading it. She smiled after she had read the first page and looked over at Jake. "Hero Jake it is indeed an honor to meet you. Your grandfather and father were very great Heroes and well known and respected on Cassandra. We are honored and proud you have chosen to continue your service and the tradition of your ancestors." After she had completely read the large file on Jake it was placed gently on the table. Evelyn picked up Allison's file. Once again she smiled while she read. After Evelyn had finished reading Allison's file she looked at her and said, "Welcome to you too Allison. I am impressed with your school records and with the training you have undertaken to prepare you for service as a Heroes Companion. Even though they are not Heroes of Cassandra your father and grandfather could have been I am sure. Both of them have excellent military records on earth. Both are honorable men. You come from a heroic family and I expect great things from you as well as from Hero Jake." Evelyn looked at both of the young people and said, "I see you have completed reading the Rule Books. Are there any questions?" When both shook their heads no Evelyn continued, "Well then. I suppose we need to let you decide on a Caretaker now." Evelyn raised her head and said, "Files on the top three Caretaker candidates for Hero Jake." There was another soft pop and three folders appeared on the table. Evelyn picked them up and quickly paged though them. She smiled and placed them on the table in front of Jake. "It looks like you are going to have a difficult time picking a Caretaker Hero Jake. All three of the best candidates for you are very well trained and qualified for the job. Take your time in the selection. When you have decided on a Caretaker please let the AI know. I will notify your choice and bring her to meet you. Just before Evelyn left the room she raised her head once more and gave an order. "Provide a meal and refreshment whenever Hero Jake requests it." She looked over at Jake and Allison and continued speaking, "Through that door is the bedroom if you become tired before you make your choice. There are toilet facilities in the room opening off the bedroom." Evelyn stood and walked gracefully out the door she had entered so short a time before. Jake looked over at Allison and smiled. He reached for one of the folders and handed it to Allison. He picked up another one for himself. He said, "Lets each of us look over the candidates and rank them then we will discuss each choice before we settle on one. Ok Honey?" Allison smiled and nodded her head yes." The two young people began reading the material in the folders. Jake was not totally surprised by what he found in the folders but he was definitely impressed. He had a very hard time ranking the candidates from best to worst. Each of them had something the others lacked. He was slightly surprised at the nude photo on the very last page of each folder but even that was expected. He had heard the story of his father's and mother's selection process for their Caretaker. He had a good laugh when Allison came to the last page of her first folder and saw the picture though. No one had told her what to expect. The three candidates were about the same age as Jake. Like the majority of women from Cassandra they were very beautiful. Sally Office Manager had degrees in Computer Science and Business Management. Her hobbies were war gaming and ancient weapons. Patricia Chef had advanced degrees in History and Restaurant Management. Her hobbies were ancient cooking and food preservation practices. She also had an in depth knowledge of edible wild Chaos Plants. The final candidate was Sharon Protective Services Officer. This was a position similar to our police, FBI and CIA rolled into one. Her hobbies were Hand to Hand Combat and Combat Tactics. She was very active in one of the war gaming societies. Naturally Jake ranked the candidates in the order Sharon, Sally, Patricia. Sharon and Sally ranked higher than Patricia because of their tactical, combat and war gaming knowledge. To his surprise however Allison ranked the candidates Sally, Sharon, Patricia. Jake looked at her rankings and asked her why she had placed the candidates in that order. "Well Honey Patricia Chef was last because she really doesn't have any hobbies or special training that could help us plan for or complete our missions. Her knowledge of edible plants might be a help but I think between us we know enough to kill or find our own food if we cannot buy it. Her knowledge of foods would not be that beneficial to us. "I picked Sharon as the second candidate because she is just a policewoman who plays computer and role playing games on the side. Sally has the most useful hobby for us. The war gaming and knowledge of ancient weapons could be very helpful when we are planning a mission to rescue a Damsel." "Hummm. I agree with you on Patricia Chef. For our purposes she is definitely the least desirable of the candidates. I really think you missed the point on the other two though. I agree Sally has some very useful skills but stop and think a minute. We are very good with medieval weapons and hand to hand combat. I was in the Army long enough to learn some combat tactics and mission planning so we sort of have that covered. "I feel like Sharon Protective Services Officer is the number one pick for caretaker though. She is active in war gaming societies like Sally is plus she is a police officer. She could give us a great insight into the minds of some of the criminals we might run up against. She should have some psychological knowledge that might make it easier for us to understand the mindset of the people endangering the Damsels too. Also, and above all, she should be very capable of helping us develop the initial plan to rescue the Damsel because of her Combat Tactics knowledge. We will still have to make the final plans on the ground when we arrive at the location the Damsel is being held. I think Sharon might be capable of giving us some insights and advice the others could not. Really her hobbies and Sally's are close enough to identical that the difference is minor. I feel her law enforcement experience makes her the prime candidate because we will be dealing with criminals on Chaos and she can perhaps give us some idea of how they think and will react in certain situations." "I never looked at it like that Honey. I think you are right. Sharon should be our first pick. Before we decide for sure though why don't we have a nice meal and get some sleep? I'm really tired. Then we can look over the folders once more in the morning and make our final decision after we've had time to think about it a little longer." Jake and Allison set the folders aside and ordered up a nice prime rib dinner and two bottles of a really great Merlot. After a long, hot, horny shower together they climbed into the most comfortable bed either of them had ever slept in. In spite of the arousal they generated showering together they dropped off to sleep within minutes of getting in bed. The next morning Jake woke first and went into the lounge. He ordered coffee and was reading the folders once more when Allison walked up behind him. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed his cheek then walked around and plopped down on his lap. They had slept nude and Allison had not bothered to dress before leaving the bedroom to find Jake. Jake felt his cock twitch when he saw Allison in her state of undress and felt her naked ass on his equally naked lap. After a long kiss while she sat in his lap the couple ordered and ate breakfast. During the meal they once more reviewed the folders and discussed the candidates. Finally they came to a consensus opinion once more. Their decision remained unchanged from the night before. They had both raised more points about the candidates but in the end they still agreed Sharon Protective Services Officer should be the chosen Caretaker. Jake leaned back into the couch and raised his voice. He said, "Please tell Evelyn Hero Greeter we have made a decision on the Caretaker. We have chosen Sharon Protective Services Officer. Unknown to Jake and Allison the first thing Evelyn did was make their selection known to the various individuals concerned with it. The selection was immediately transmitted to Cassandra where it caused some amount of consternation and a small problem. Sharon was at the time in a sealed court room testifying in a trial of a criminal she had apprehended. Normally NOTHING could breech the security of a sealed trial. This time however the AI in charge of the security and recording testimony and so forth spoke with no prompting from the Judge or any of the participants in the trial. The AI spoke, "Pardon me your Honor and ladies. I have just been apprised of a situation that requires the immediate presence of Sharon Protective Services Officer. This trial is therefore suspended until further notice. Sharon Protective Services Officer you have been selected as Caretaker for a new Hero. Your presence is required on Crossroads immediately to begin your duties there. Hero Jake comes from a long line of Heroes. He is the third in direct line of the Harvey Heroes. He has a Hero Companion, Allison in attendance at this time also." The courtroom broke out in jubilation after the AI stopped speaking. Even the defendant smiled and made her congratulations known. Sharon sat in happy shock for a moment. To her embarrassment tears were running down her cheeks. This had been her last chance to be chosen as a Caretaker. She had been considered and non selected twice before. In a daze she stood and turned to the Judge. She said, "With your permission Your Honor. I must depart immediately to attend my Hero." The Judge smiled and said, "By all means Caretaker. And congratulations. I hope your Hero has a long and successful career. I and all of Cassandra look forward to his successful missions and to hearing of his many successes. We look forward to many children from him." Sharon began walking slowly toward the door. As she moved away from her seat in the witness box she began moving faster and faster until she was running. She slammed through the door and ran down the hallway. The applause from the witnesses to her selection reverberated throughout the courtroom and hallways and sped her on her way. Her face was locked in a huge grin and happy tears were running down her cheekbones. As she passed the people in the hallway she barely heard their congratulations and well wishes. Finally she arrived at the nearest transport portal and rushed inside. A quick flash of light and she was in the arrival portal on Crossroads. Evelyn Hero Greeter smiled at the excited woman and said, "Welcome Caretaker. Come. We will dress you properly then you must meet your Hero and his Companion." After giving the AI his selection for Caretaker Jake turned toward where he thought the door should be and waited for Evelyn to appear. He had expected her immediately but it was almost thirty minutes before she appeared. When Evelyn arrived there was another woman with her. Evelyn stepped through the door and to the side. The woman behind her came through and stood beside Evelyn. She looked at Jake and smiled then her glance took in Allison and she wrinkled her forehead in a small frown. Evelyn smiled and said, "Hero Jake and Companion Allison this is Sharon Caretaker. I'll leave her with you now. She will be responsible for meeting all your needs from here on out. She will help you select and plan for your rescue missions as well as see to your day to day needs while you are here on Crossroads. Enough Ch. 02 "I can't tell you what a pleasure it has been to meet you Hero Jake. Please relay my greetings to your father Hero John and your mother Companion Tessa when you return home. It has given me great pleasure to greet the Hero son of one of our greatest Heroes. Already Cassandra is excited knowing another generation of Hero line Harvey is available to rescue our Damsels. It was also a pleasure to meet you Allison. The name Harvey is unique in the annals of Heroes. You are the only ones who have gone on your first mission with a Companion. That alone has excited the population of Cassandra as has the beauty of your chosen Companion. Your family name is known almost as well as Hero Sid and the group of Heroes who won the Slaver Wars." Jake watched Evelyn leave the room then turned his attention back to Sharon Caretaker. She was slowly walking toward Jake. Her thin gown left nothing to the imagination. If anything, she was even more beautiful than her picture. Her full womanly breasts were wobbling from side to side and her large nipples looked like they were almost painfully hard. He could hear the slick smacking sound from her wet pussy while she walked across the floor toward him. Jake's gaze ran up and down her figure. He could see the well defined muscles she sported from her exercise. Even with her heavier than normal musculature she exuded sexuality and femininity. He could feel his cock harden in his jeans. He knew or thought he knew what was on her mind and what was about to happen. His cock surged to full hardness almost immediately. He just hoped Allison was truly going to be ok with things here on Crossroads and on Chaos. Sharon stopped in front of Jake and looked him up and down as Jake was doing her. He could tell the flow from her deeply red vagina was thick and increasing. She carefully, tentatively reached out and cupped his crotch while leaning in to give him a kiss. She gasped when she felt his hard cock. Her face took on a shocked look and she immediately dropped her gaze from over his shoulder to the large bulge in his jeans. Sharon glanced over at Allison and licked her lips. "My God. Is it true? He's huge and already so hard. I haven't even begun to try and excite him." Sharon wrapped Jake in a tight hug and whispered in his ear, "Can we please go to bed now my Hero? I've waited so long for a chance to be with a Hero. I was almost ready to give up hope of being selected. Oh, please may I see, may I feel it now? Allison was shocked at Sharon's forward, desperate pleading. She had never seen as hungry a look in a woman's eyes as she saw in Sharon's eyes. She felt her stomach lurch when Jake looked over at her. Her heart fell when he raised his eyebrows but she gently nodded her head yes. Jake turned toward the bedroom and wrapped his arm around Sharon Caretaker's waist. She stared up at him adoringly as they walked into the bedroom. Allison didn't know what to do with herself as they disappeared into what had been her and Jake's bedroom. She sat on the couch and stared at the wall. Her heart was beating heavily in her chest. She felt tears running down her cheeks as she listened first to the bed squeak as her Jake and Sharon climbed on it. She heard giggles and murmurs for a few moments then Sharon began making a keening sound. She heard her scream out loudly then there was silence except for the constant steady squeaking of the bed as Jake continued to thrust into and withdraw from Sharon's wet pussy. Allison could hear the liquid smack, smack, smack coming from the bedroom as Jake drove his cock into Sharon over and over. Allison continued to sit in her position waiting, hoping Jake would return to her soon. After a few minutes she heard Sharon moan once again. She again listened as the gentle slap, slap, slap she recognized from her and Jake's lovemaking became harder and faster. Soon, way sooner than when she and Jake made love, Sharon screamed and she heard Jake groan. She was shaking with her silent tears because she knew her Jake had just finished making love with Sharon. Allison was wiping her tears from her cheeks when Jake came back into the room. He looked at her and gave her a guilty grin then sat beside her and pulled her into his arms. He gave her a gentle kiss and held her gently rocking her as she buried her face in his chest. Allison shuddered when she smelled pussy on Jake's face. To her embarrassment she felt her pussy lubricating when she figured out what the smell was. Jake whispered, "Shhh Honey. I'm sorry you hurt. I love you so much. Please don't be angry with me." "I'm not. I just didn't think it would be this hard for me to listen to you make love with someone else. I'll get better Honey. I promise. Please, just hold me and love me Jake. I love you so much." About that time Sharon came walking slowly into the room. She stood looking at Jake and Allison for a moment then she said, "Allison you are so lucky. I have heard about Earthmen's lovemaking ability for years but I really didn't believe what I heard. My god he can go forever and not lose his hard on. He is so easily aroused! Oh, thank you so much for being willing to share him with me and the Damsel's he is going to rescue." Sharon moved to Allison and sat beside her. She pulled her into her arms and hugged her. When she did so she saw Jake's hard cock rising from his crotch. Sharon gasped and said, "My God. He's hard again. I cannot believe it. Oh, you are so lucky Allison." Allison sat stiffly for a moment then felt herself relax against Sharon. She smiled up at her and said, "I know how lucky I am but I'm not feeling so lucky right now. I knew Jake was going to make love to you and the Damsels but sitting here listening to him do it was almost more than I could take." "Oh, Honey I'm so sorry you feel like that," Sharon said. "I can't begin to tell you I know how you feel because we have gotten over most of those feelings of jealousy on Cassandra. I will do everything I can to help you get over those feelings also. I want us to be friends and perhaps even lovers while we are associated here on Crossroads. You need to know you cannot lose your Jake to any of us here too. We will love him to death but in the end he will always come home to Earth and you." Allison smiled up at Sharon and said, "Thank you Sharon. I'll be all right. I just need a little time to actually get used to things. I'm afraid women on earth aren't as accepting as you are when their man makes love with another woman." Jake once again wrapped Allison in his embrace and pulled her to him. He gave her a gentle kiss then said, "Ok. I suggest we discuss a mission now so we can get back to work." Sharon smiled at Jake and Allison, stood and began walking toward a door that opened in another wall. "In that case," she said, "Let's go into the other room and find out what rescue missions are available." Jake and Allison had Sharon get the AI to display the top twelve missions and color code them Green, Yellow, Red and Black in order of danger just as his father and mother did during all their missions. The green missions were easiest or at least the least dangerous. The black coded missions were the most dangerous for Jake and Allison. As might be expected the mission that had highest priority for rescue was a black one. The top six missions were, in order, Black, Black, Yellow, Red, Green, Green. Jake and Allison discussed all the top six missions with Sharon for several minutes. They decided to pass on the two Black, deadly missions because of their inexperience. Finally the three decided they would take the Red coded fourth priority mission. Allison had argued against it in favor of one of the green missions or even the yellow but Jake felt they had the capability to do the red mission easier than they could do the Yellow one. What made the Red mission so dangerous was its location more than the danger of the men holding the Damsel. The mission they accepted was to rescue Damsel Harriet Research Biologist from three brothers who were holding her in a mining town in the mountains on Chaos. The danger came from the number of men holding the Damsel and the location. She was being held in a saloon perched on a large ledge beside a gold mine on the side of a mountain. They would arrive just as the long cold winter was to begin. All the trails into the mining area would probably be ice and snow covered. Additionally the miners would probably help the three brothers try to keep Harriet because she was the most beautiful woman in the saloon and always was forced to work naked. They all knew she was a cock burner so they did not fuck her but she was forced to commit fellatio for many of them while they fondled her breasts. Even that type of sexual contact could be painful for the miners and the Damsel but some of them did make her do it. It was almost a proof of their toughness to get a Blow Job from the beautiful cock burner. Many of them would then hit her when she refused to swallow because of the pain their sperm gave her. Damsel Harriet was in danger of either becoming ill from exposure or becoming severely injured by an angry miner if she scraped their cock with her teeth or angered them during her interactions with them. The three brothers also routinely beat her and she was in constant pain from their blows. With winter's arrival she was sure to become ill and or freeze from her enforced nudity. Jake and Allison ate a hearty meal after they had finalized their plans for the rescue. After the meal and a final briefing by Sharon they held hands and walked to the doorway into the Portal. Just before they entered the Portal Sharon smiled, raised her hand and said, "Good luck my Hero. Come back to me." Once again the couple came out of the transfer with a flash of light. This time however instead of a bright white room they materialized in a room paneled in dark wood. Jake knew this was the safe deposit box room of the bank. He turned and found the hole he was to stick his finger into. After he inserted his finger his box appeared. His father and he had rented the box for him on his last trip as his father's companion. They had only placed items in it that Jake could legally claim as his due to his actions on Chaos. Of course that encompassed nearly all of his father's equipment. Jake stepped to the box, opened it and stood surveying the contents. Finally he reached into the box and began pulling items from within. He first selected a sword for each of them and they belted them on. Next he picked up a set of throwing knives for each, staves, camping supplies and blankets then finally two saddles and tack for horses he hoped to purchase. He even picked up two purses with what he hoped would be enough money to carry them through. If it wasn't he could always access his bank account if they could find a town with another bank in it. Finally, after he stepped away from Allison and looked her over he gave himself another once over. He clenched his jaws and sighed then gently closed the lid to the box. With a flash the box disappeared back to wherever it was stored. Jake and Allison were ready to enter the bank lobby and begin their first adventure as Hero and Companion. Jake stood in front of the door for a moment then pushed it open. This bank was laid out identically to most of the others in Chaos. He quickly stepped to the side and cleared the door so Allison could exit the box and portal room with him. She stepped to the side also, closed the door and waited for Jake to make a move or say something. Each of them quickly surveyed the room. The teller was watching them from within the teller's cage. The guard was leaned back in a chair to one side of the front door into the building. To the other side Jake and Allison could see offices where the Manager and other officers of the bank worked. All seemed peaceful. Jake relaxed. The two adventurers turned back to the portal room and picked up their saddles and tack. With their gear in hand they turned and exited the bank. The stench of Chaos hit them immediately after their feet hit the sidewalk in front of the bank. Jake stood for a moment and looked up and down the street as did Allison. They carefully surveyed the people moving about and gave special attention to alley ways, side streets and doorways. They could see nothing that looked dangerous. Jake smiled and said, "Well, so far, so good. If I remember right the livery stable is to the right. Shall we go see if we can pick up some transportation and get on the road honey?" As they were walking down the street two toughs came from the open door into a pub. They bumped into Allison as she was walking on the inside nearest to the buildings. She felt her stomach lurch when she smelled the stench from their unwashed bodies and their breath. They bumped her hard enough she bumped into Jake almost falling to the ground. She did drop the saddle she was carrying. The man in front that had actually run into Allison was fat and half drunk. He was belligerent and immediately turned to Allison reaching for his sword as he did so. His eyes lit up when he saw he had run into not only a young woman but a very beautiful one. He released his sword and faster than a snake could strike his hand shot up and grabbed her tit. He smiled a mean nasty looking smile and said, "Well what have we got here? A clumsy little strumpet if my eyes don't deceive me. Come on slut. You can make amends for running into me back here in the alley. Now move!" Jake had felt Allison jostle him and heard her intake of breath when the men ran into her. He dropped his saddle and stepped back into the street slightly. As he moved he reached for his sword while he assessed the situation. He saw the man mauling Allison's breast and felt rage building in his heart. He saw the man's companion drawing his sword from the corner of his eye. He had no choice but to defend himself and hope Allison could hold off her attacker for a moment. Jake and the other man moved away from Allison and the second man. The steel of their swords began clanging and clacking as they thrust and parried moving about in the street looking for an opening in the other's defense. Jake couldn't take the time to watch Allison. He was much too busy with his attacker. Jake heard a loud grunt and a rattling wheeze coming from the area in front of the pub door. He took a step to his right and risked a glance in that direction. The man who had been mauling Allison was bent slightly forward holding the handle of a knife that had been driven deeply into the base of his neck. Jake watched him slowly sink to the ground as his life bled away. Allison stood looking at him as he finally collapsed and rolled into the dirt at her feet. The man Jake had been fighting also looked at his friend. His eyes got larger and he spent just a little too long looking at the pile of flesh that had once been his friend, a man who he thought could never be beaten especially by a mere female. Jake saw his opening and thrust rapidly slipping his sword past the man's guard. He felt the sword hit the man's chest then with little resistance slide deeply into his chest cavity. Jake watched the man's eyes for a moment then pulled back on his sword. As he did that he moved it sideways with a slicing motion opening the wound even wider. His opponent dropped his sword and grabbed the area of the wound as he, too sank to the street. He bled his life out in the dirt beside his companion. Jake moved to Allison and gave her a once over. Seeing no blood he heaved a sigh of relief and turned his attention rapidly to the sight of her bare breast hanging from the torn blouse she wore. He forced his gaze from her beautiful breast and asked, "Are you OK Al? You need to snap out of it. We have a lot to do now." Even as he asked the question of Allison he moved to the man he had killed and began searching him for possessions he could take and sell as custom demanded. He found a cheap, poorly constructed knife in a sheath on his belt. There was a money pouch with a shell and four pinches in it and of course the sword. Jake felt a surge of pride when he looked up and saw Allison searching through the clothes of the man she had killed. She was moving slowly and Jake could see tears coursing down her cheeks but she was doing what needed to be done. After they had stripped the useful items from their assailants Jake stood and walked into the Pub. Allison followed moving slowly, shakily. She was a pale whitish grey color. She looked almost sick to her stomach. Jake remembered how he had been after his first few kills. He knew he would have to talk to her when he could take the time. After they were inside the Pub Jake asked if anyone knew the two men. No one would look directly at him. Jake glared at the bartender for a moment and repeated his question. As he did he rested his hand on his sword hilt. "Do you know those two men Innkeeper," he asked. "Did they have horses or any other possessions that are now ours?" Still the bartender did not speak. His face was white and he shook his head slightly and whispered, "No Sir. Never seen em before." He then turned away from Jake and began walking toward the doorway into what Jake assumed was the kitchen. Jake decided not to make a scene. He looked at a man he assumed was the swamper since he had a broom in his hand. He handed him a pinch and said, "Clean up the mess we made out front and get rid of the bodies and this pinch is yours." The man looked over at a group of men in the corner and took the pinch. He nodded his head yes and propped his broom against the wall. Without another sound he moved through the door and toward the two men lying on the ground. Jake and Allison moved out the doorway, around the men on the ground to their saddles. They picked them up and moved off down the street once more searching for the stable. Jake and Allison spent most of the afternoon purchasing their horses, food to take on their quest and other supplies. They also spent some time selling the weapons they had taken as booty from the fight. After they completed their business Jake decided they did not have enough time to go far before they had to camp. He and Allison returned to the center of town and entered the Inn next door to the Pub they had fought in front of. He was hesitant about taking a room there because of the attitude of the men he had seen in the Pub side of the Inn when they had been there earlier. He intended to purchase a meal and some watered wine then move somewhere else to spend the night. He and Allison moved to a table near the back of the room and sat with their backs to the wall. Luckily for them they were not accosted during their meal. They ate rapidly and moved off as dusk was falling. They mounted their horses and rode out of town in the opposite direction to the one in which they were going. After they were out of sight of the town they moved off the road and turned back circling the town in the direction they intended to go. When they were opposite the livery stable they moved quietly toward it. They turned their horses into the corral with the ones the Stable Owner already had there, took their possessions and moved into the stable itself. They climbed quietly into the loft and made a bed in the hay stored there. They rapidly fell asleep only to be wakened several hours later when the owner opened for another day of business. Jake and Allison quickly stood, put on their weapons and climbed down the ladder. The owner saw them and blustered, "Here now. What were you two doing up in my loft? What gave you the right..." Jake moved to face the man and said, "Quiet my good man. We came back late last evening looking for a place to sleep. You were already gone so we turned our horses into your corral and made use of your straw to sleep." He reached into his pocket and took out his purse. He opened it and pulled two pinches from it and handed them to the owner. "I am willing to pay for the use of your loft. Here are two pinches for your trouble." Enough Ch. 02 "Well, I don't know..." Jake glared at the man and rested his hand on his sword. The man remembered yesterday Jake and Allison had bested two of the rough crowd that had been moving into the town and wilted under his gaze. He swallowed and said, "I suppose that's enough but if you want food for your horses it'll be extra." Jake and Allison quickly picked up their saddles and moved to their horses. They saddled them and rode out into the woods following the faint trail they had used when they entered the stable the night before. When they were out of sight of the stable they turned in the direction they needed to go and moved off heading for adventure and to rescue a Damsel. Jake and Allison rode carefully all that day not even stopping for lunch. There had been something about the town they had just left that bothered both of them. Jake didn't know if it was just because he was on his first mission as a Hero or if it was because of the unsavory characters that eyeballed him and Allison in the Pub and at times on the street. Jake reminded Allison several times to keep her eyes peeled for trouble coming at them from any direction. He constantly peered into the woods, ahead and behind as well as to the side of their route of march looking for trouble. Finally about an hour before dusk Jake found what he thought would be a good place to camp for the night. He and Allison went almost a half mile past the place he wanted to use then moved off into the woods. They stopped several feet into the gloomy cover while Jake obscured their tracks leaving the trail. When he was satisfied he moved back to Allison and the horses. The young couple carefully made their way back down the trail to the campsite Jake had selected earlier. After they had cooked and eaten their meal Allison carefully put out the fire. The young people moved back into the woods near a stream where they carefully made their bed in a rocky outcropping beside a deep pool. There were enough loose rocks nearby that Jake hoped to hear a prowler if one should show. The rocks also provided excellent hiding places for the two if the need arose. Jake settled down in their blankets and wrapped Allison in his arms. He gently kissed her and told her how proud of her he was. They talked for almost an hour about the fight and how Allison felt afterward. Jake related some of his feelings about not only his first kills but the most recent one. Finally Allison stopped whimpering and shaking. She just laid her head on Jake's chest, hugged him and drifted off to a troubled sleep. Jake rapidly followed her. Allison woke before Jake the next morning. She lay with him for a few minutes then carefully got out from under the blankets. By the time he woke she had coffee ready and was getting ready to prepare their breakfast of fried eggs, potatoes and sausage. While Allison prepared the meal Jake moved quietly out from camp to see if they were being observed. He found tracks on the trail where three horsemen had passed in the night. They had stopped a few feet beyond the normal trail to the spot in which he and Allison had prepared supper. There was evidence two of them had dismounted and moved into the woods until they could see the campsite. After they verified the site was unused they returned to their horses and moved on down the trail. Jake followed them a short distance past where he and Allison had left the trail the night before. It appeared they had continued but he resolved to be exceedingly careful again that day while they travelled. Jake was unsure whether the three were just opportunistic thieves hoping to find some campers or if they were searching for them. Either way he felt they needed to be especially careful again that day. When Jake and Allison came to the next small town they entered carefully. It was near noon and they decided to stop for a moment to have lunch at the local Inn. There were three tired appearing horses tied up in front of the Inn when they stopped. When Jake and Allison entered the Public Room of the Inn they each stepped to one side so they would not be silhouetted by the light coming in the door. After their eyes adjusted to the dim room they saw three rough looking characters watching them from a table at the rear of the room. The men had empty dishes in front of them that had once contained their meal. There were tankards of ale in front of them. Jake watched carefully while the largest of the three picked up his tankard and drained it. As he moved to set it down he looked at the young couple and belched. He smirked slightly and leaned back in his chair. Jake took a deep breath and glanced at Allison before moving into the room. He selected a table against the wall about half way between the door and the three rough looking men. The Innkeeper moved to take their order and rushed back into the kitchen. He soon came back into the main room and poured a pitcher of watered wine for the two. Before he got back behind the bar the serving wench delivered the requested meal to Jake and Allison. Jake ate his bowl of stew rapidly always keeping his eye on the three men. When he was about half done the larger man spoke. He glared at Jake and said, "Was you tha one that kilt Big Tom a couple days ago in Edgarton?" Jake looked at him a moment while he chewed and swallowed the bite in his mouth. "I don't know anyone named Big Tom. What makes you think I had anything to do with his death?" "We was there waitin on im. He never come ta our meetin and when we went ta tha Inn we was tolt some damn youngun and his little cunt kilt him an his pard. Ya look like tha one we was tolt had done it." Jake looked at Allison and whispered, "You done with your lunch Honey?" She nodded her head yes and Jake continued. "Well then let's see if we can get out of here without any trouble." Jake stood and looked over at the men and said, "Like I said I don't know any Big Tom. We're just travelling on personal business and don't have time to discuss some fight that happened in the next town." Somewhat to Jake's surprise the three men just glared at him and Allison as they left the Inn. He knew it was bad form to back down from a fight on Chaos but he really didn't want to face the men if he could help it. He was worried about how Allison would take it if they had to kill more men so soon after the first fight. Just to be safe after they were mounted Jake strung his bow and readied an arrow to fire. Jake and Allison rode out of the town quickly but tried not to look like they were running. Just before they moved into the woods Jake looked back into the town. He saw the three men riding rapidly toward them. Jake turned to Allison and said, "I'm sorry Honey but it looks like we're going to have to fight them after all. When they get closer let's separate a little and get them in a pocket between us if we can. Maybe that way we can defeat them easier." About three horse lengths before the men reached Jake and Allison they separated. Jake intended to circle to the side and hit the men from the side or rear if he could. To his horror all three men continued on the road toward Allison. They all had their swords raised high with the obvious intent of slashing into her. The larger man had taken one swing at Jake as they passed him but had missed him. Jake rapidly stopped his horse and pulled and released his arrow. He didn't even look to see if he hit his target before he pulled another arrow from his quiver. This arrow went toward the man nearest Allison. All at once the third man realized he was the only one on a horse. He looked wildly around for his friends and pulled his horse up. He tried to make a turn to the side. Luckily for him his movement caused Jake's third arrow to miss. Unfortunately Allison had seen him pull back and she reacted. She slowed her horse and turned to the outside of the trail hoping to swing back on her pursuer as Jake had done earlier. Allison saw the man staring wildly toward her as he tried to move his sword into position to get at her. Allison swung her sword wildly toward her attacker as they flashed past each other. She felt a jerk and her swing slowed then the resistance ended. She felt a stab of fear as her sword flew from her grip spinning off into the grass and weeds at the side of the trail. Allison rode her horse toward Jake as he approached from the rear. She took a chance and looked over her shoulder when she saw Jake slow and pull his horse to a stop. All three of their attackers were lying in the dust of the trail. The one who had been attacking her was screaming and holding what was left of his right arm. She had completely sliced it off when she had swung her sword as they passed each other. Jake slid from his horse and checked on the two men he had shot with his bow. Both were dead. He moved to the man Allison had taken out with his sword in his hand. The man was still alive but would not be for long. He glared up at Jake when he stood over him. Jake knew he should finish him but he couldn't. He watched for a moment then turned back to the men he had killed. Allison was standing looking at the three men. Her chest was heaving and tears were coursing down her cheeks once more. Jake pulled her into his arms and rocked her as she cried. He was worried that she would never get used to the killing. Jake pulled her tightly to him and said, "Shhh Honey. You know we had to kill them. It was either them or us. It's nothing to cry about." Alison shook her head and whimpered, "It's not that. I don't like killing men but that isn't what's wrong. We were riding away from them and then I looked and you weren't there! I turned to find you and help you and I saw the men on the road. I was afraid one of them was you. Jake I don't know what I would do if you were hurt or got killed. I'm just so happy you're safe." "Shhhh Honey. It's ok. Come on now. Let's get this carrion off the trail and get on with the mission." After they took everything of value from the men they caught up the three horses they had been riding. Jake and Allison moved off down the trail until they found a good camping spot about three hours later. They moved well off the trail and made camp beside a slow moving stream. They rapidly took care of their horses and set up camp. Allison prepared the evening meal while Jake did a quick reconnoiter of the area planning escape routes if they should become necessary. By the time Jake had finished his recon Allison was ready to serve the meal. They ate their fill and cleaned up afterward. Allison looked at Jake with her eyes flashing. She licked her lips and smiled at Jake then said, "Jake Honey. I really need a bath. Do you think it's safe for us to clean up in the stream? Please?" Jake thought for a moment and said, "Yeah but we need to hurry just in case. I really wouldn't like for either of us to be caught in the middle of the stream without our weapons." Allison smiled her patented sultry smile and began undoing her clothes. After she was completely stripped she shook her breasts at Jake, giggled and said, "Me first big boy." Allison turned her back to Jake and began walking toward the stream. She looked over her shoulder and continued her sexy walk toward the stream. She smiled widely at Jake's expression as he followed her. Jake walked up behind Allison when she stopped to survey the bank for an easy place to wade out into the water. She turned rapidly and pulled Jake into a tight hug. Allison gave him a quick kiss and stepped back. "See anything you want there Stud?" Jake had a difficult time not watching Allison while she bathed. He paid close attention to the surroundings but still took time to admire the slim nymphet lathering her breasts and pretty little pussy in the stream. He knew she was tantalizing him on purpose and resolved to make her pay later that evening. Finally Allison decided she was clean enough and Jake had been teased enough. She carefully rinsed the soap from her body and strolled as sexily as she could to the bank. Once again she walked up to Jake and pressed her body against his. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a gentle kiss. She stepped back and smiled before she whispered, "I love you so much Jake Harvey. Now get your ass into that stream. You stink!" Allison didn't do much better as a watchman than did Jake. She couldn't keep her eyes off him for long at a time. She did keep her eyes on the woods around them occasionally as did Jake. Luckily they were not bothered during their bath. After Jake was clean the two adventurers moved back to their camp and crawled into their bed. Jake pulled Allison against him and began kissing her deeply. She moaned and writhed in his grasp as she rubbed her crotch against his leg and her breasts against his hard chest. Jake sucked and rolled her nipples while he worked her little clitty with his middle finger. In almost no time Jake worked her up to an orgasm. Allison screamed into Jake's mouth when she came. Before Allison had calmed down completely Jake jumped between her legs. Allison gasped and her eyes got larger when she saw Jake lowering his raging hard on toward her pussy. She tried to close her legs and began shaking her head no. "NO Jake. We can't! You know we're not supposed to have sex here. PLEASE don't!" Jake grinned at Allison and crawled forward slightly. He lowered his hips slightly again until he felt the contact. He pressed his cock downward until it lay cradled in the groove between her lubricious pussy lips. Jake began pushing forward and pulling back rubbing the length of his cock across her clit. Alison moaned and thrust her hips upward. Jake moved more and more rapidly as they got into the same rhythm. Jake bit down on his lower lip and let his cock slide upward a little farther until it was rubbing over Allison's belly. He groaned and she felt his seed splash out covering her stomach and splashing up onto her breasts. Allison came again on Jake's last thrust as he rubbed across her hard little clit. Once more she screamed into the night. Jake rolled to the side and onto his back. Both were breathing hard, panting. They were both more relaxed but something had been missing. Both Jake and Allison really missed being able to have penetrative sex with their lover. After they had calmed down Jake pulled a rag from his saddle bags and wet it from a canteen. He carefully washed Allison then his cock. It was getting colder so the two lovers dressed before they lay back down. Jake pulled the blanket over them and cradled Allison in his arms as they drifted off to sleep. The sun was well up the next morning before either of them woke. All day Jake and Allison climbed into the hills. It became noticeably colder as the day progressed and they climbed higher into the mountains. Just before dark Jake and Allison topped a ridge and saw lights part way up the mountain in front of them. He quickly turned the horses and moved back into the trees. When they were back under cover Jake got his spy glass from his saddlebags and dismounted. Jake and Allison moved carefully to the edge of the woods where he began looking over the trail and the now visible mine shaft. There were a few smaller buildings clustered on the hillside around and below it and one large one on the ledge beside the open shaft. He could see men moving into and out of the large building. Jake knew he had to get into the camp and into the saloon to do a recon before he and Allison tried to find and rescue the Damsel Harriet Research Biologist. He spent over an hour watching the trail and camp. Finally it became so dark he couldn't see any longer so Jake moved back into the woods where Allison had set up their camp. He walked up and sat down then took the bowl of soup Allison handed him. Jake ate his first bowl of soup and handed the bowl back to Allison for a refill. When she returned with his second helping Jake said, "I think I need to try and get into the camp tonight if I can. I really don't want to stay here too long if we don't have to. It's cold and dangerous out here in the woods. With this snow cover the horses don't have much to eat and we will stick out like a sore thumb if anyone comes this way. We can't even build a fire to keep warm. Besides I really don't want to be trapped here if it starts to snow or rain." Allison sat and listened while Jake talked. She knew he was right but she was so tired and cold. She really didn't want to walk around all night watching the camp but she knew they would have to do it sooner or later. Jake and Allison left their packs and belongings well hidden near their camp. They moved to the trail and rode slowly, quietly on toward the mine. About a quarter mile from the mine they pulled their horses off the trail and back into the woods. Jake found a protected place to hide about 25 feet off the trail. He tried to make Allison stay with the horses but she would not allow him to do that. Finally she told him if he didn't let her come with him she would just follow after. He agreed finally but insisted she not go into the buildings with him. He made the argument that he might need her to cover his escape if something went wrong. Allison saw the benefit of that but did not like it. She finally agreed to be his backup though. When they arrived in the mining camp they moved around through the small settlement becoming familiar with its layout. After Jake was satisfied he knew the outer part of the settlement he moved toward the saloon. There was loud music and boisterous laughter coming from within. He moved to a window and peered inside. Men were everywhere drinking gambling and playing with the serving wenches. As intelligence had indicated one of them was absolutely beautiful and serving miners while completely nude. She was constantly being molested. She was pinched, her nipples were being grabbed and twisted and fingers were being inserted into her ass and pussy. When she screamed or jumped the men who watched laughed. Jake decided he had seen all he could from the window. He moved back to Allison and said, "I have to go inside now Honey. I'm going to try to find out where Harriet spends the night and maybe even wait until they lock her up before we leave. Stay hidden here and be careful. Don't come for me if something goes wrong." Allison nodded her head yes but they both knew if she thought Jake was in trouble she would ignore her instructions and try to help him. Jake moved toward and through the doors into the saloon. He walked to the bar and ordered watered wine. After being served he moved into the room and found a seat near the door into the back of the building. Men were constantly coming and going down the corridor with their arms wrapped around giggling women. They would go into rooms and spend a few minutes. Jake could see dirty beds through some of the doors that were open so he had a pretty good idea what was going on inside when the men and women went in. Jake had almost finished his wine when one of the miners began laughing. He was talking to another better dressed man who was holding Harriet by the wrist. She was crying and shaking her head no as the miner handed the man a full bag of something. The man hefted it then opened it and looked inside. He said, "One hour. Not a minute longer and she better not be damaged to the point she can't work when you get through with her." The miner grabbed Harriet by her other arm and pulled her toward the hallway. His friends laughed as the two disappeared into the gloom of the passageway. Jake watched while the man drug Harriet down the hall looking at the numbers on each door as he passed. Finally, two doors from the end of the hallway he stopped and pulled Harriet into the room. The door slammed closed and Jake heard the miner laugh loudly once more. Jake sat a moment thinking. Did he dare try something here, now? Enough Ch. 02 Jake stood and leaned against the wall just inside the hallway. He slowly moved deeper into the shadows then took three rapid steps down the hallway. He stopped and looked back into the main room. To his relief and almost to his surprise no one seemed to notice he had gone down the hallway. He moved to the door the man and Harriet had used. He carefully turned the handle. To his relief it turned and the door moved slightly. Carefully Jake pushed it open slightly until he could see inside. The man was lying on his back in the bed with his pants around his ankles. A crying Harriet was fellating him. He had his fingers wrapped in her hair guiding her while he spoke derogatory epithets to her. His hips were thrusting upward slightly. Jake moved into the room and pulled his throwing knife from his boot sheath. Just before Jake reached the bed he stepped on a floor board that squeaked. Harriet pulled her head upward and looked toward him. Her eyes enlarged and she started to scream. The man she was blowing opened his eyes and turned his head toward the sound. He began to rise and opened his mouth to say something when Jake moved rapidly toward him. His hand flashed down and he slammed the hilt of the knife down onto the miner's head. The miner groaned and fell back on the bed. Jake quickly put his hand over Harriet's mouth to stifle her scream. Her eyes were big and she was fighting him. Jake pulled her to him and whispered, "Be quiet Harriet of Cassandra. I am Hero Jake here to rescue you." Harriet stiffened and stared at him. He felt her relax in his grasp then he released her. Jake quickly checked on the man he had hit. He was alive. Jake tore up the filthy sheet and bound and gagged the man before he came to. He moved to the door and locked it then pushed the wooden chair under the door knob to wedge it closed. Jake turned to Harriet. "Do you have clothes here Harriet of Cassandra? If you do can we get them easily?" Harriet shook her head no. Jake didn't hesitate. He grabbed the remainder of the dirty sheet and the blanket from the bed. He threw them to Harriet and said, "Wrap yourself in these...NO. Wait. Let's see if you can wear this assholes clothes and we'll take these for you to use as a cape." Jake and Harriet quickly untied the miner. They pulled the rest of the clothes from him and retied him. Harriet struggled into the clothes and boots. All were way too large for her but they were better than nothing. They tore part of the sheet off to use for a belt. Jake moved to the window and eased it open. It had iron bars on the outside. He looked at them for a moment and shook his head. He stood back and kicked, then kicked again over and over until the bars had been torn from their attachments. Jake looked out the window. The ground was about eight feet below. He turned to Harriet and motioned her to the window. She came to him and he helped her sit on the sill then turn so he could lower her to the ground. After she was standing on the ground he carefully slid out the window and hung by his fingers. He carefully dropped the remaining distance to the ground. Jake grabbed Harriet's hand and pulled her as rapidly as he could toward where Allison was hiding. When he came around the corner of the building Jake faced Allison. He stopped abruptly and Harriet ran into him. Allison was holding a knife just inches from his stomach. Jake said, "Alli..." just as Allison dropped her knife and threw herself into his arms. He hugged her quickly and whispered, "Allison we don't have time for this. Come on. We have to get out of here before they come after us." Allison stepped back and finally saw Harriet behind Jake. Her eyes got larger and she started to talk. Jake hissed, "Later. Now come on. Let's move." Allison nodded her head once then bent and retrieved her knife from where she had dropped it. Jake acted as he spoke and pulled Harriet after him. Allison moved quickly to follow. To their relief and surprise they were at the edge of town before they heard a loud outcry coming from the saloon. Jake looked back to the saloon and saw men boiling from it like ants from a damaged ant hill. Jake pushed the women ahead of him and quietly said, "Allison lead out. Move as rapidly as you safely can. We need to get to the horses and out of here right now. Harriet, follow Allison and move as quietly as you can. Our lives may depend on silence. I'll be right behind you." Allison took off almost at a run. Thankfully there was about a third moon. With the light reflecting off the snow and rocks they could see well enough to move fairly fast. They were in the shadows cast from the trees and rocks almost at once. This would make it harder for the men from the mine to see even if they were looking at them. Jake hoped they would waste time looking around the small settlement for Harriet before taking off down the trail. The amount of traffic the trail carried would make it more difficult to trail them. Their footsteps and those of their horses would blend in with those already on the trail. That would make their tracks harder to follow although a good tracker could do it easily. Jake and the two women were exhausted from a long days work and riding but they did not tarry. When they reached the horses Jake, Harriet and Allison quickly mounted and moved down the trail at a canter. It was cold and a wind was blowing almost straight into their faces. Even with his heavy coat Jake felt the deep bone chilling cold. He knew Harriet was even colder and he worried about Allison. They made a quick stop at the place they had intended to camp to load their remaining belongings. They moved Harriet to one of the spare horses and moved out rapidly. After about an hour Jake pulled up in the shelter of a large rock outcropping and pulled their blankets from their packs. He handed one to each of the women and instructed them to wrap in them for warmth. Jake allowed a short rest while he and Allison switched horses. They mounted once again and moved on down the trail. This time they moved slower to conserve the horse's strength and for safety because they were moving through heavier woods and it was darker. The three travelers rode into the night until the moon set then Jake called a halt. They moved off the trail into a heavy stand of small cedar trees to rest for a while until the sun came up. The trees provided a great windbreak and Jake used them well. He used a strategically placed rock and one of their ground covers to make an enclosed shelter to further break the wind. They built a small fire against the rock to reflect the heat and warm a late night snack. After they had eaten they all huddled together and wrapped in the blankets to catch some sleep. Jake placed the women nearest the small fire. He was on the outside of the small cluster of people. Jake was cold enough he dozed and woke repeatedly but he did get some rest. Jake woke when the sun was just barely peeking over the tree tops. He moved out from the shelter and built another small fire in the lee of another rock. By the time he had the fire started and water boiling Allison had crawled out with Harriet behind her. The two women quickly broke down the small tent and loaded their possessions. Allison handed Jake some dry biscuit and jerky. He handed each of the women a cup of coffee. The three quickly ate their breakfast and remounted for another day of travel. The three did not stop for lunch. As they traveled Allison pulled jerky and biscuits from the saddlebags and passed them out to her companions. By mid afternoon the travelers were out of the mountains and moving through a more populated area. They passed several small farms but had yet to see a human. Jake knew the women were on their last legs and they needed to stop. They were close to a small town and he was debating the advisability of getting rooms in the Inn or trying to find a farmer who would put them up. He knew as cold as it was that sleeping outside was the worst choice he could make. Finally Jake decided to risk the Inn. They had met the three men who they had to kill on the trail there but they had been passing through as had he and Allison. He had not sensed any abnormal animosity from the Innkeeper or the few locals they had talked to while they were there. The women needed the warmth of the Inn and the good hot food they could get there. Being honest with himself he also needed the warmth and large meal he would eat there too. Jake moved up beside Allison and told her of his decision. He knew the town wasn't far ahead so he pushed on at a more rapid pace. It was still almost two hours later when the small town came into sight. Just seeing the buildings made all three of the young people perk up. It was all they could do not to rush into the town. It was even harder for Jake and Allison to properly observe their surroundings to be sure they weren't riding into danger. The three tied their horses at the hitching rail and removed their saddlebags. They moved into the Inn where Jake and Allison once again moved to the side of the door and surveyed the room. There were a half dozen locals sitting around the fireplace drinking. When the three travelers stepped into the room the noise stopped and all heads turned toward them. Jake looked directly at each of the men for a moment then moved toward the bar where the Innkeeper stood. He thought he saw a spark of recognition in his eyes before he said, "I need a room for the night and three meals. We also need to put five horses into your stable. Do you have a man who can care for them for us?" "Yeah. You got money? Costs a pinch each to board the horses and a shell and nine pinches for the room and meals. Ya get a pitcher of watered wine with the meal though." Jake bargained with the man for several minutes before they settled on the final price for the night. Jake had also bargained for the cost of breakfast at the same time. The Innkeeper grudgingly agreed to make sure Jake and the women got their breakfast. Jake glared at him and said, "I meant what I said. If you do not make sure we have all the breakfast we want it will go hard on you." Jake and the women sat as close to the fire as they could to eat. They each ate two bowls of the hot spicy stew and a loaf of bread besides. By the time they were finished with their meal all three were almost asleep. They stood and moved to their room where Jake quickly closed the door. They wrestled the heavy bed over and placed the foot against the door to help hold it closed in the event someone tried to break in. Then, without even undressing they fell into the bed and went to sleep. All three of them came awake with a fright when they heard a pounding on the door. Jake grabbed his sword as did Allison. Jake said, "What do you want?" A female voice yelled back, "Please sir the Master sent me. It's morning and if you want breakfast you need to come get it now. He is getting ready to prepare and serve the noon meal sir and he said to tell you your bargain included breakfast NOT the noon meal. I was also told to inform you that your time in the room is up too." Jake looked at the two women. They all felt like hell if looks reflected how they felt. He knew he was still bushed. "We need to go ladies. If we push it and it's not too late we can get to the bank this evening maybe even before it closes." When she heard Jake Harriet smiled widely and moved up beside him. She leaned toward him and tried to grab his cock. "Is what you said true Hero Jake? Can we really be back on Crossroads today? Oh, GOD please tell me we're ready to go back to Crossroads. I've waited so long." Jake grabbed her hands and pulled them away from his crotch. She had been a total pain in the ass the night before rubbing over him and begging him to bed her. Harriet had constantly fondled Jake and kissed him the night before even as exhausted as they had been. Finally in desperation Jake moved and placed Allison between him and Harriet in the small bed. Even then he had trouble sleeping because he was so aroused. When he had moved Allison became Harriet's target. Finally after several minutes of fighting Harriet off Allison had given in and they had pleasured each other. This, of course, just made it more difficult for Jake to rest. He not only had to listen to them moan and cry out in orgasm but he had to put up with his increased state of arousal. After Jake pulled Harriet's hands off his crotch he gently pushed her away and said, "Harriet I didn't say we would be back on Crossroads this evening. I said if all went well we would be back to the town with the bank in it tonight. We still have to sell the horses and extra weapons then we have to go through the portal. If everything goes well we MIGHT get finished before the bank closes but I don't expect to do so. I know we won't be able to portal back to Crossroads if you don't quit fooling around. Now would you please leave me alone so we can eat and get on the trail again?" As they travelled through the bitter cold winter day Jake found it difficult to keep his attention on his surroundings. He kept thinking about the rescue mission and how they were doing. He was very pleased he had managed to rescue Harriet so quickly and with so little trouble. He was less pleased about all the trouble they had with the residents of Chaos however. He knew they had skirted some issues and played loose with some of the rules laid down for Heroes and their Companions. He was afraid they might get into some kind of trouble when they returned to Crossroads. Allison had been a little too eager at times to use her fighting ability during the altercations and he had almost broken the taboo on sexual relations with Allison. Between worrying about those issues and being anxious for the mission to end his attention to the details of their safety was a little lacking. Finally the three travelers neared the small town from which Jake and Allison had started several days before. Jake forced himself to pay more attention to his surroundings. He finally began the process of planning their missions ending and their trip to the bank and back to Crossroads. Jake decided not to enter the town on the road. Instead they once again moved off the road and retraced their route through the woods so they would come up to the livery stable from the woods once more. The owner seemed to take their appearance in his stride. When Jake told him he wanted to sell the horses and some of the tack to him they went into heavy bargaining mode. It didn't seem to matter that Jake had purchased the two horses he and Allison rode from him just days before. It seemed the value of horse flesh had declined drastically in the ensuing days. In the end they did arrive at a deal Jake could live with but he had to take about half what he paid for the two horses he had purchased and even less for the ones they had taken from the outlaws. The next stop after the livery stable was a weapons shop where they sold the excess knives and swords. Once again they got almost nothing for them but in truth they weren't worth much. They were all of poor quality. To Harriet's delight they had finished disposing of the items Jake planned to sell with just barely enough time to get to the bank before it closed. She was almost running pulling Jake along with her on the way to the bank. Just before they reached the bank Jake and the women were confronted by two men. A small greasy looking man was the leader this time. He faced Jake with a sneer on his face and snarled, "You look like the asshole that killed my friend over at the Inn a few days ago. I thought my boys would take care of you on the road but you must have slipped past them. I'm gonna kill you for killing my friend then I'm gonna use your bitches till they beg for mercy. To Jake's surprise the two men were almost completely ignoring Allison and Harriet. They moved slightly apart and tried to attack Jake from each side. Jake stepped back slightly and drew his sword. He barely parried the thrust from the smaller man and completely missed the thrust from the larger one. If Allison had not managed to slice the larger man's side when he thrust at Jake he might have killed him. As it was Jake took a painful cut in his side. He saw the larger man collapse into the street from Allison's thrust before he turned his attention back to the smaller one. Jake felt his strength draining and knew he was in trouble. He was moving slowly, barely parrying the last thrust the smaller man made. Jakes side was throbbing with pain and he could feel the blood running down his side. The small man smiled and moved toward Jake again then he stopped and rose onto his toes. He turned toward Allison and collapsed onto the ground. Allison pulled her sword from his back as he did so. Allison rushed to Jake and pushed his shirt up so she could see his wound. He was just barely standing as she did so. Harriet moved to his other side and helped support him until they got him sitting on the edge of the boardwalk in front of the bank. Allison tore the sheet Harriet was still wrapped in from her and tore some strips from it. She used some of the sheet for a pad and the strips for a compression bandage. While she was working on Jake she told Harriet to take what valuables she could from the two men. Harriet and Allison finished their tasks at about the same time. They helped Jake back to his feet and moved to support him, one woman on each side as they moved toward and into the bank. Each of the three was carrying a sword in their hand. The manager came from his office when he saw them enter. Jake knew he was in serious trouble. He didn't even try to deposit his money. He turned to the manager and said "I need to use my box. NOW." The manager reversed his direction and headed to the door into the portal and box room. He held it open for the three and closed it behind them. Allison helped Jake place his finger inside the small hole and call his box. When the box appeared the three quickly placed all metal and their other belongings into it. Jake let the lid close and was collapsing as the box disappeared. He never even saw the light flash. He had succeeded in his mission but just barely. The women were crying over him when Sharon Caretaker rushed into the room they had appeared in. She saw the blood on Jake's side and moved to him at a run. She picked him up and turned her head to the ceiling. "Healing Chamber, NOW." She and Jake squeezed through the door before it was fully open. She almost threw Jake into the chamber when she reached it and slammed the lid closed. There was a slight hum and lights flashed on the panel. Sharon slowly turned from the chamber and moved from the room to face the two still crying women. Sharon gently but firmly pulled the women to her and hugged them. She said, "Shhh. Hero Jake will be fine now. It is almost a 100% certainty if a person gets into the healing chamber alive they will be released in perfect condition. Now stop your crying and let's get you taken care of." Sharon Caretaker led the two women into the other room and guided them into the shower area. She began helping them disrobe to get cleaned up. Finally the two filthy women began helping themselves and all three of them got into the shower together. Sharon began washing Harriet and smiled when she felt Allison working on the other side of the rescued Damsel. Harriet began moaning and writhing under the two women's ministrations. Allison looked at Sharon and gave her a wicked grin then she grabbed one of Harriet's nipples between her thumb and index finger. She squeezed tightly and twisted as she ran her other hand down to Harriet's crotch where she tickled her clit. Harriet screamed and collapsed onto the shower floor when her orgasm ripped through her. Sharon looked at Allison and smiled then stepped to her and gave her a deep kiss. The two women looked at the now sleeping Harriet and turned to each other. They washed each other and soon their caresses became more loving than just washing would have been. They moved into a clench and began kissing and moaning, rubbing their breasts against each other.
