It starts in summer for when else can you so easily get folks to take off their cloths. Perhaps a bit dark, but the struggle between good and evil takes no season off. The good news is we begin in paradise and end in paradise. Between the two is a messy account of this epic struggle, where the difference between the two is often difficult to parse, as the 'good guys' often look pretty bad. This is the track we followed. Here is my x-rated retelling as it unfolds in the seemly always summer of beautiful Florida. P.S. Thanks to my editor and spell checker, Mr. Husband. He also did the sketches. He thinks they make the story come to life. You'll be the judge. Happy reading! IN THE BEGINNING "It's half past kissing time, time to kiss again," the DJ's voice sang out over the radio. It had been a hot week for this early in the year, but today was just perfect for sunbathing, with a nice breeze, and big fluffy clouds breaking up the sun's rays. Last year Eve came home from the hydroplane races, looking like a cooked lobster. Besides feeling horrible, her pealing skin and vain pride insured she would not be showing off her feminine curves, leaving her high and dry as her husband Adam and friends enjoyed their neighbor's pool. She was determined not to make that painful mistake again, by soaking up a few rays each day in preparation for this year's races and a summer of bare skin. "The 'suntan turnover time' is 2:45," the DJ called out. Eve rolled over and eyed the billowing cloud hovering overhead. She enjoyed the whispered kisses they were blowing her way. The neighborhood was quiet on this Tuesday afternoon. Certain she was alone; she hadn't bothered to cover her breast, wanting to avoid a tan line across her back. She thought about her summer dresses, none of which would tolerate a tan line, front or back. Reflections from the pool next door danced against the neighbor's house. It was an upper middle class Florida neighborhood, and they were lucky to live in it, but that neighbor's house was two cuts above everyone else's. Sam had exercise equipment by the pool that he used religiously before taking a swim. He a burly man, probably 6'3" with hairy chest and legs, just the sort of guy you would envision a successful private investigator to be. His wife, or girlfriend, for he used the terms interchangeably, often joined him. He called her 'Di" except on those formal occasions, then it was Delilah. Di was fifteen years older than Eve, though you would be hard pressed to tell it by looking at her body. Her engaging personality and winning smile made it easy to be around her, something borne out by the large number of friends who would come to her backyard parties. Just a low hedge separated the two backyards with a convenient opening providing easy access. Standing up, Eve could see the inviting pool, and with an open invitation to use it anytime, she decided to get wet. After swimming a few laps, the covering clouds had moved on and the sun was beaming down brightly again, signaling it was time for Eve to head for cover. Climbing out of the pool, she was startled to see Sam, sitting in the sunroom, smoking a cigar as he watched her. Smiling as he waved, Eve gave a nervous little wave back as she instinctively attempted to cover her breast. Back in her yard, she snatched up her bikini top and hurried into her house. NORTHERN NEIGHBORS Wednesday evening a few weeks later, Eve and Adam were enjoying a midweek barbeque with John and Carol Godfery. Though retired, Carol was still active at the elementary school, tutoring several times a week. Her husband John was semi-retired from the police department, doing occasional detective work. They were nice people and though the age difference between the two couples was considerable, Adam and Eve really enjoyed having them as next door neighbors. Eve was pleased when Carol commented on her pretty summer dress and how nice her suntan was looking. With a gregarious, extroverted personality, Eve loved the bright colors that said, 'look at me.' And when you did look, she was not shy about giving you plenty to see. While John and Carol were, 'old school' they accepted Eve's exhibitions as youthful expression for her love of life. Being a 'pleaser' and a 'romantic,' Eve gained great satisfaction at the attention Adam gave her in public. Using these occasions to carry out subtle seducing rituals, she guaranteed them wonderful passion when they got 'behind closed doors.' The Godfery's passion was gardening, and being the perfections they were, their back yard was like a well manicured park, a little Garden of Eden, with towering trees that gave welcome shade. Its winding paths through its fragrant, colorful, flowers gardens, and the chirping birds, made for an ideal place to hangout, something Adam and Eve had an open invitation to do anytime. A portion of the lot was adjutant to a canal, which made for an enjoyable canoe ride in what seemed like a tropical jungle paradise. John overheard Eve telling Carol about her 'embarrassing moment' at Sam's pool. "Be careful," John warned. "I don't trust that guy. I don't think he is who he says he is." "Oh John," Carol protested, "Can't you trust anybody?" John repeated his warning; this time making sure Adam got the message as well. "I did some investigating into Sam and you know what I found -- nothing. No Sam, no bank accounts, even the house and cars are held in a trust and I could not locate the trustee either! Delilah was married to his best friend, according to Mrs. Higgins. Then there was the last couple who lived in your house. They moved out abruptly just as we were moving in. That's why your Uncle was able to get the house for you, at such a bargain price. Old man Higgins said it was because Sam was fooling around with his wife." "John," Carol chided, "that's just gossip and we shouldn't be saying things like that." John was undeterred. "I'm just saying, be careful." WARMNG UP Adam and Eve said they would be careful. As time passed, the only hint of a problem was some noisy parties; then there was the hot tub. Eve didn't mean to spy on her neighbors but the tub was located close to her house and easily looked down upon from an upper bedroom. Not that it was a big deal, but when they used their hot tub they were naked. Eve first noticed them one evening when she was upstairs straightening up the guest bedroom. She happened to glance out the window in time to see Sam strolling toward the hot tub. From her vantage point she could easily see his scrotum and cock swaying noticeably with each step, like a big old bull she had seen years ago while on a field trip with her class. Di followed, carrying two drinks. They carried on like you would expect any couple too, in the privacy of their own back yard; talking, drinking, massages, kisses, fondling. Eve never thought of herself as a voyeur, but found herself peeking in on her neighbors more times then she would admit. On one of those peeks, she saw another couple with them. Other times there would be several other couples. Everyone seemed quite at ease with nudity. Eve had introduced Adam to her discovery, and he wondered why they were never invited. Adam may have thought this a joke but Eve tucked the thought away. Adam was away on a business trip the first time Di invited Eve to join them. Di was persuasive, with Eve feeling Di would be greatly hurt if she turned her down. With months of spying, Eve knew the custom. Watching the other guest enter the large tub, she debated with herself before wrapping a large beach towel around her naked body and went to join them. She was quite nervous but Di came to her rescue, introducing her to everyone and making her feel at ease. Dangling her feet in the tub, as she let the rest of her body cool down, she was delighted with the many compliments she received from the men as well as the women. Warming up to the idea of being venerable, she found it to be quite liberating. She could hardly wait to tell Adam. Eve became a regular hot tub guest and convinced Adam to join her. Sam was quite a flirt, with Eve getting more than her share of attention. When Di first whispered to her, that Sam was particularly enchanted by her womanly charms, finding her very desirable, Eve was initially taken back, but flattered. With every visit, Di reinforced this message one way or another, assuring her that attracting male homage was a good thing. With coy moves, Eve responded, enjoying the seductive game being played. Under the cover of bubbly water, she managed to fondle Sam's bull sized manhood while under the guise of a massage he explored her whole body. Meanwhile, Di went out of her way to make Adam feel comfortable, assuring him that staring at the naked women was not only perfectly acceptable but something they took as a complement. "Think of us as flowers," she told Adam. Under Di's tutorage, he came to view these women as a bouquet; pretty, with different colors, shapes and sizes, a delight to see, smell and even touch. And touch they did; crowed together, sharing laps and fondling breast, Di making sure everyone got to know everyone, with little games like 'musical laps' and 'who kissed me'. Everyone agreed Eve was a lovely addition to the collection. It wasn't just her pretty face and comely curves, as gorgeous women was the norm, but her young, sparkling personality, that attracted men to her and gave Adam pride in knowing this winsome person belonged to him. It was at a hot tub party that they met Sandra and Brian. They were close to the same age so gravitated toward each other. Di had met them at a Tri-Sum gathering were they were instructors and Di was now a student of theirs. Watching their husbands leave the hot tub and head to the pool for a cooling off plunge, Eve couldn't help but comment about how sexy they looked with their low hanging scrotums, swing well below their dangling elongated penises. "Would you be interested in seeing Tri-Sum work," Sandra asked, seemly out of the blue. "We were talking about it on our way over here. You seem to have the sort of open spirit that would allow you to experience nirvana." "Wow, nirvana, I don't know, isn't that a fairy tale" Eve said. "I haven't given any thought to how that might be since I was a school girl." "Di is having a session this evening, please come. You can be part of our circle with me and watch," Sandra said. "Just being there will bring you peace and it may even be life-changing." Di had chosen the 'Shimmering Star' ritual for that evening. In a quiet room, apart from the noise of the party, five of Di's women friends gathered around her as she laid spread out on a mat, a cushion raising her hips. Her head rested in Sandra's lap, while Sandra hands cupped her cheeks. Eve sat next to Di, holding her right hand. The other women sat by her other hand and feet, touching them. Brian sat in a meditating pose between Di's outstretched legs. Sandra, with a slow, hypnotizing voice, called on everyone to listen to their breathing, to feel the stillness, to sense the connection everyone in the room had, as they touched each other through Di's body. Everyone had their eyes closed, except Eve who would look around once in a while. She hoped she wasn't breaking the spell by doing so, but Sandra had said she could watch. Eve was mildly surprised at Brian, surrounded by these naked women, one of whom laid before him, her vulva on full display, yet his penis was as limp as a rag doll. Sandra hadn't mentioned full nudity as a requirement to participate, but then there were a lot of things Sandra hadn't told her. There were long periods of silence between Sandra's utterances. When she spoke of bathing warmth, Eve's body did feel a flush of warmth. Harmony; peace; acceptance; desire; the words came slowly, one by one, separated by silence. Beauty; passion; longing; swelling; Eve felt a little jolt at that last word, opening her eyes in time to see Brian's penis expand until it stood at attention. Di genitals too, had mushroomed, as a full sexual flush blossomed, painting a blotchy rosy tint across her body. The next word was, filling, and Brian move so his penis could nestle into Di's vagina. This was the first time she had seen another copulating couple in person and watched with intense interest as their bodies merged. More time passed, everyone remained motionless until felt Di's hand begin to squeeze hers. Looking around, everyone continued to meditate, while little gasps came from Di. This continued until Eve could see little tremors contracting around Brian's cock. He remained still but her spasms increased as she squirmed, seeking to swallow more of his penis. Her breaths were increasing, with each exhale now being an uninhibited moan of passion. Copious amounts of lubricating cream gushed out around Brian's shaft. What normally is over in a minute had continued for many minutes and it wasn't over yet. Di clutched Eve's hand like she was holding on for dear life, as waves of pleasure continued to rock her body. As strange as it was, Eve could start to feel it too, as the tingles of sexual delight caressed her genitals. The other women were feeling it also, perhaps more so, as the intense look on Di's face could now be seen spreading around the circle. It was as though through Di's body, Brian was penetrating them all. Brian too, though motionless, had his head tilted back, his jaw dropped, while sustained groans of pleasure emanated; obviously relishing the feel every man has when he is in a woman and they are experiencing the sexual physical and emotional delights of raw passion. Eyes fixed on Brian now, Di seemed to be begging him to give her the cumulating satisfaction of receiving his sperm. But it was not until Sandra uttered the words, 'let them be united,' that he exploded with bursts of orgasmic gusto. His ejaculating fits continued as though he was giving each woman her full share as well. Finally Di's orgasmic onslaught subsided with Brian's. Her face beamed with satisfaction, having received his offering. Though euphoric, both Di and Brian were physically exhausted. Sandra asked the women to share, so Eve would know, what it was like to experiencing Brian's cock vicariously. Most had felt the satisfaction that comes when penetrated, with several having mild orgasms, though Eve didn't get much more than a tingly warm feeling. "For you first time," Sandra told Eve, "to feel anything is significant." Di and Brian spoke of 'aurora' which was new and strange to Eve. It was where the man could feel the woman's sexual pleasures and the woman could feel the man's. Like the Northern Lights, it weaved and flowed, first waves then columns then mixing together, with changing colors and shapes, dim then bright, the energy moved between their bodies. The male and female euphoric pleasures, being wonderfully similarly yet gloriously different, were something you want again and again once you experienced it. Back outside by the pool, Sandra told Eve, she was a natural for Tri-Sum. There are six level of attainment and by the end of level one, a person could transcend the world of things and reach the spiritual world beyond; sharing her divine experience with those she touched, just as Di had demonstrated. "I saw and felt it," Eve confessed, "but I don't understand it." "It cannot be understood," Sandra said. "All that is, is one. To know is to pass beyond distinctions and realize the oneness of all, being one with all. There is no right or wrong but only being, a unique progression of enlightenment moving you through life. We can tap into that power and experience it, as Di and Brian showed us tonight. Tri-Sum uses the powerful physical and emotional attraction between a man and women, as a conduit for exploring their spiritual diminutions. Each pairing brings new discoveries; each union prepares the way for the next one." With mixed emotions of excitement and apprehension, Eve thought she would like to explore this more. "One of the first lessons to grasp," Sandra told her, "was that we belong to everyone and everyone belongs to us. Think of something you prize then envision yourself sharing it." "Are you talking about things," Eve asked. "Things are where most people start," Sandra said, "but it must move beyond things to relationships, then onto the supernatural powers you will receive and must pass on." "I prize my marriage," Eve said. "Are you saying I must give that up?" "You don't give it away, you open it up. Your husband is married to you and every woman. You are every man's wife. The Cosmos will guide you, and where it leads you must follow, uniting your body and soul with who it destines. The more you give the more you will receive." "I was mesmerized watching Brian with his bulging cock in Di. I couldn't help but wish it was me. But why would I want that when I'm happily married," Eve asked? "That's normal," Sandra laughed. "Already your world is expanding. Embrace it, and it will take you places you never dreamed possible. The wealthiest know of this power and money flows to them. Politicians who put into practice these principles, are the most powerful." It was Eve's turn to laugh. "Is that why our Presidents have a hard time keeping their penis in their pants?" "Successful people make the rules. They influence outcomes. They attract power. They attract money. They attract the opposite sex because they want too. They don't have to live by other people's rules, they make their own." THE CURRIER'S AFFAIR When Sam offered Eve a currier job, she happily accepted. Several times a week, Eve was given a locked satchel that she would deliver or she was sent out to make a pick up. It was easy money, money Sam insisted she not report on her tax return. He even provided her the car to get around in. The only drawback was, when Sam wanted something done, he wanted it done NOW! So, Eve because a regular fixture around Sam's pool, as she waited for her next run; then slipping on a pair of shorts and a tank top on over her bikini, she would hurry off to make a delivery or pick something up. Several time a month, Sam had Eve deliver a car to the long term airport parking lot, where she would pick up another car to drive back. It was the same two cars, over and over again. It seemed odd, but then again, a lot of things seemed odd, at least at first, like the time Sam told her that Di would sleep with his friends and he was OK with that. But remembering Di was a Tri-Sum practitioner, it did make sense. Then there were those aphrodisiac that came in the mail once a month. Strange concoctions from around the world, sent to him by an aphrodisiac club in Guadalajara. Not that Sam needed any help in that area but he did give Eve something called 'Sugar Leaf' to put in her tea; a sweet tasting something that came from a Brazilian forest. "Give it time," he told her, "and she would like what happens." Eve couldn't tell it made any difference when she made love with Adam. The only thing that really happened was it was addictive and there was a growing mysterious openness to suggestive suggestions. "Seeing male genitals like that give me a little tingle," Di said when she saw Eve's eyes following Sam, "I'm sure it does that for you too." Eve agreed. Then Di then confided that she had not turned a man down since she had started studying Tri-Sum. "Enjoy your sexuality while you're young," Di advised. "Sam has really fallen for you," she added. "I think the love gods are bringing you two together. I've told this to Sam and he hopes so too." South of Eden, North of Hell On another occasion while watching Sam exercise, Eve wanted to know if Di had her asked husband's permission before she took another lover. "No," Di assured her. "To many men hold women in bondage, so in order to grow you must act on your own. Later on you can tell him but it is a mistake to ask when it is your own body and your journey." One day Eve was sitting on the sofa in the sun room. Sam had just finished working on something and was leaning back in his chair. "I've been studying Tri-Sum for almost a year," Eve volunteered. "Have you studied it too?" "Just what Di has taught me," Sam replied. "She is a pretty good teacher though." "So do you believe in what they say about the solaces, the hormones and the journeys?" "Di is a wonderful lover," Sam smiled. "Whatever she says, I'll believe." "Sandra told me last night that on this, the summer solace, I need to add some different male hormones if I am to progress in my journey. They need to come from someone I am attracted to. She had me write out a list of names and you are number one." "I'm flattered," Sam said. "I would love to add to your hormone pool but is Adam ok with me kissing you." "If it were just a kiss, I suppose he would say fine. But I haven't tried to explain this part of Tri-Sum to him. It takes time to come to this point and I'm there and he isn't so I'll tell him later when he can understand." "Truth be known," Sam said, "I've been looking forward to this day since I laid eyes on you." Eve blushed, remembering the first time Sam saw her braless. "I've come a long ways since then too, haven't I?" Sam smiled. Between 'Sugar Leaf' and Tri-Sum amorous teachings, Eve had finally been won over. A seductive massage followed as Eve surrendered to his touch. Eve's raised legs rested on Sam's shoulders as, with closed eyes, she concentrated on the ultimate feelings of male female bonding, when the tip of his penis spread her vulva then nuzzled her vaginal opening. This was the first time since being married that she had been intimate with another man. Eve felt an instant impassioned connection with him, something Tri-Sum had said would happen. Surprised by her own boldness, Eve felt very naked and vulnerable, yet invigorated, desiring this stud of a man to possess her. Sam gently let the head of his caressing penis open her up, then ease out again, doing this until his bulb glistened with Eve's vaginal juices. Then, deeper and deeper he probed her irresistible chamber, until Eve had the satisfaction of taking him in, all the way. Having contemplated this for quite some time, it surpassed her dreamy imaginations, her whole body quivering in nervous excitement. She was really doing it, having sexual intercourse with another man; exploring new frontiers, her awakened curiosity was indulging its aroused emotions. He paused as they both enjoyed the titillating feel of his dangling sac caressing her bottom. Continuing with long deep strokes, Sam began to gallop, his testicles slapping against her butt. For Eve it had a delightful feel, made all the more enchanting knowing she was indulging in something naughty, even forbidden, were it not for Tri-Sum command to explore the outer limits. Eve kept expecting Sam to ejaculate but when he didn't, she relaxed more, indulging even more in the delightful sensations. When she quit thinking and just let the feelings take over, the ramming cock and banging scrotum blended, evoking one grand emotion. Eve felt loved and wanted, desirable and beautiful. She wanted to give more and take more. It started as indulgence then enjoyment, morphing into delight, then pleasure, and now she was consumed with the raw hunger of sexual gratification. Enraptured, every fiber of her body was alive as her quivering vagina clutched at the magnificent penis it held, ecstasy rippling out from around it. Finally her cries were replaced with deep sighs, as contentment encompassed her being. That sense of happiness and fulfillment was further heightened, knowing she had taken his semen, giving him the best kind of sexual pleasure a woman could give a man. She envisioned his nectar soaking into her body, extracting those hormones and blending them with hers. Tri-Sum had brought Eve quintessential happiness, ushering her into the world of unity, where her power could be express as giving and receiving. Under Sandra's influence and with Di's permission, Eve became Sam's frequent lover, obsessed with the clandestine empowering love she shared with Sam. Under the guise of making late night deliveries, Eve kept her affair from Adam. ADAM TEMPETATION Sam knew that one day Adam would find out about his year long affair with Eve, so thought it best to snare Adam into an affair of his own. Sam directed Maria, one of his aides who he referred to as a 'house keeper,' to take an interest in Adam. Sam mentioned to Adam that she didn't have a boyfriend, giving him a little wink. Every time Adam came over, Marie was there to serve drinks or fetch items for Sam and flirt with Adam. 'Maria wanted me to tell you, she is quite enchanted with you," Di told Adam, some time later as they swam in the pool. "The backdoor is always unlocked," she added with a knowing smile. "Sam thinks a woman needs a good fucking now and then, so she can release her pent up sexual energy. Otherwise it becomes toxic and she gets bitchy." Di paused, looking for a reaction. Then continuing, Di added, "I prefer to think, a good dose of semen gives us some male hormones that helps keep our emotions in balance. Mix that with the quintessence released during a woman's orgasm and you'll have the epitome of female wholeness and harmony. Think of it either way, you'll be doing her and all of us a favor if you give her some attention." Adam listened but didn't say anything. "I have another belief I hope you'll find intriguing," Di said as she moved closer, letting her hand provocatively brush his bulge. "A woman is attracted to a man when she can sense she needs something from him. It may be emotional, it may be physical, it could be spiritual, or just a desire for social interaction, a friend if you will. Maria is calling out to you, needing a friend and lover. I too, need your friendship and love for spiritual reasons. You are connected to captivating parts of the universe that I have not experienced. By connecting to you, I can explore new frontiers and expand my universe. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Adam thought for a while before shaking his head no. "You are talking a strange babble, like I've started to hear from Eve," Adam said with a confused look on his face. "Men," Di said shaking her head. "Let me put it this way. You have something I want. In order to get as much of it as I can, we must unite in the most intimate and affectionate of ways. It is a spiritual quest which I can achieve, only when you and I are physically and emotionally united. Adam smiled. "Eve will have to give her permission first, so I wouldn't hold your breath." "I'll wait," Di smiled back. Di was quite persuasive, and Adam did begin to wonder if Eve chatter about Tri-Sum and supernatural powers were true. If Di was using them on him, then they were working, as the idea of sharing a bed with a pretty Latina woman seemed quite enticing now. When his wife started making weekend deliveries to South Florida, Adam found Maria's willingness, persistence and even bold insistence, too hard to resist. So he gave in to what he already desired. She was an enthusiastic, passionate lover and though she knew English, she spoke in Spanish when they made love, letting her tones clearly communicated her intense emotions. They indulged in a love fest until Eve returned home, but even then, he found his way to her bed at least once a week. PIZZA DELIVERY "How about we go play a game of golf," Adam ask Eve as she hurried into the house. "Can't right now," she replied, "I got a delivery to make, but first I need to use the restroom." Setting the satchel down, she hurried off. Picking up the satchel, it was much heavier than he had anticipated. Setting it back down, he noticed the latch hadn't snapped in place. Curious about the content, Adam took a peek expecting to find a mountain of paperwork documenting some case Sam was working on. As expected documents of some kind were on top, but when Adam took them out to look, he saw money, lots of money, carefully bundled and labeled filling the rest of the case. One hundred bills to a bundle, with each bill being a hundred dollars. Adam figured there must be around two hundred thousand dollars in that satchel. Adam hurriedly replaced the contents and snapped the case closed when he heard Eve coming. "Where are you taking this too?" "Carlos Pizzeria," Eve said. "It is about an hour drive from here. Why don't you come with me?" On the way Adam asked Eve what she knew about her deliveries. She didn't know much but said sometimes it got a little weird. Adam agreed the whole thing was weird. Eve made the delivery and they stayed to have a pizza. "I've heard one of Sam's house maids has the 'hots' for you," Eve said in a rather nonchalant way. Are you 'doing' her?" Adam froze as his face turned red and he just starred at Eve. Eve starred back as she took another bite and continued chewing as though they were talking about the weather. After finishing her bite she continued. "That is part of the weirdness, isn't it? You are having an affair; I know about it and I am OK with it." "I'll quit, I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." "I know what came over you. You are a man she is a woman. The two go together. Hey, it's just sex. If it feels good, do it. If you want it, take it." "It was wrong of me to do it," Adam repeated. "I don't need another woman, just you." "Let's stop pretending," Eve countered. "There is that ideal world that people talk about but no one lives in. Then there is the real world, where we eat pizza even though we are told it is not that good for us. However, we like it so we do it. We are married, we like each other, but another woman sees you and wants you, and you want her, go ahead, what is the big deal with affairs." "I don't want you to have an affair. I want you for myself." "It's too late for that," Eve said with a matter-of-fact tone. "Sam has been playing with my pussy for a while now. It felt liberating to get past my old hang ups. I wanted you to break free too and was happy when you started fucking Maria." "I don't love Maria, I love you! I'll stop and you need to stop too," Adam said with a pleading voice. "I don't want to lose you!" "You are not losing me but I don't want to stop, at least not yet," Eve replied. Adam groaned, obviously in emotional pain. "I can't stand the thoughts of you having sex with another man. "It is not man but men and is not just 'sex' but great sex, fantastic sex. Admittedly, I have some warm feelings towards the men who I am intimate with. If I am to be really honest with myself, my love for you has gone down as I've given it to others. My emotional bank is only so large you know, but I don't plan to marry anyone else," she gave a long pause, "though I am carrying another man's baby." Adam's mind raced; shocked by this news; his wife is having an affairs; she is losing her love for him; and now someone else has got her pregnant. "How long have you known," Adam asked, as he tried to make sense out of what was happening. "The nurse called me this morning and gave me the 'good' news. You are the first person I've told. Carol kind of knows because I told her I was feeling sick, with headaches, nausea, feeling tired, even my breast were getting tender. You told me it was the flu, but she told me I might be pregnant and I should get it checked out. I kept thinking I would get better but then I missed another period and the area around my nipple was getting darker, so I finally went to see a doctor." "But it could be me, how do you know it is not me?" "Well I was hoping it was you but in talking to the doctor, he was doing the calculations: when was my last period, how long had I been feeling this way, how often did I have intercourse. He figures I'm ten weeks along." "Two months ago," Adam tried to think back. "Wasn't that when we went to Disney World?" "No," Eve said, "that was four months ago. You know, it was when Sam took me with him to Newark for a couple of days to help him take care of some business up there. Then there was this mess up with the paper work at the courthouse, so I had to call and tell you we would be gone a week." "I remember all to well," Adam said, "and when that week was up you called and told me it looked like it would be another week, then it was still another week. And I told you to just come home but you said he really needed your help so you stayed away for over three weeks." Eve nodded in agreement. "Well, while I was away, that is when it happened, so I know who the father is." Eve paused again as she debated if she should say more. "Sam has been 'fixed' so it wasn't him, but we stayed with friends of Di's. David and his wife, they are Tri-Sum practitioners and so they taught me some new things." "We really did have some major frustrations getting the paperwork all figured out. But of course at night we'd have a good time, and I figured they couldn't wear out my pussy, it still would be there for you when I got back, so there was a lot of intimacy going on." There was a period of silence then Eve continued. "I told Sam that you couldn't help but know what we were doing and I was feeling guilty knowing I was liberated but you weren't. That is when Sam told me that you and Maria were having an affair while I was in Miami with him on those long weekends. " Adam sat silent. "Kind of ironic isn't it," Eve said. "I'm having an affair and I leave town so you can have one too. Now that is what I call a good wife, looking out after her husband like that. The only glitch was I got pregnant and I still don't know how that happened." "Implausible as it might sound," Adam said, "it might have something to do with letting a man put his penis in your vagina and you squeezing it until his sperm comes out." "Don't be ridiculous," Eve said, picking up on his sarcasm. I've done that countless times before and never had a problem. Anyway, I am curious when you first knew I was fucking someone else?" "I didn't really know, OK, I suspected but I feared more than knew. I didn't want it to be so. So, was it on that trip, was that the first time?" Eve looked incredulous. "You got to be joking. It was over a year before you started with Maria. You don't mean to tell me, you believed that those 'late night' delivers I made were real. Hell, my pussy was still swollen from the fervent fucking I had just received when I got home and you started sucking my clit. You had to see that!" "Of course I saw it, but call me naive or stupid; I thought you were just eager to make love. It was good too; you are a wonderful lover, the way you responded." "It was good and I love you, but sometimes you just don't seem to get it. It even takes Wonder Woman some time for her pussy to get that puffed up. But even though you were the second fuck on those nights, the orgasms you gave me were sweet, making me happy that you were my first love." "I wish I were the first in both categories." "My world has expanded and so has yours," Eve responded. "Don't try to make me feel guilty. Our journey has led us here, so here is where we are." "Did you like it," Adam questioned, "letting David impregnate you?" "Of course I liked it," Eve said. "Making love is a beautiful thing. I found David to be handsome and charming. I couldn't help but find him appealing. The truth be known, I was looking forward to staying at their place knowing we would be doing Tri-Sum. Foreplay with him was fun and delightful. Then the way he would stretch over me, his cock would not only fill my cunt but rub my clit at the same time. It was the very definition of fuck, it felt so dam good. You have got to learn how to do that! Every day the bonds us became stronger, mystical really. He widened my universe; we traveled to fascinating places, places I could never visit were it not for the magnificent, intimate connections we made." "What sort of places," Adam asked. "It is hard to describe. It was bewitching, with an angelic choir. I felt ravishingly beautiful, elegant and gorgeous. I felt keenly connected to universe, but could only focus on the lavish love that flowed between us. Intoxicated with intimate bonding, we were floating on a sea of love, as waves of euphoric ecstasy ravished my body, crossing into his and his coming into me. Magnificent is too small a word to describe what it was like when we consummated our love. It was as if our spirits had merged, just as our bodies had. I was keen to his every quivering spurt, his orgasm blending with mine and mine with his. Splendid, sumptuous, superb, were but forerunners to the sublime, exquisite, transcendent love, that we encountered." "I guess I really couldn't help but get pregnant, could I." "Are you going to keep the baby?" "Of course; I love this love child already." "So will we tell him I am his father?" "We could but even though it's real father's semen is white, his skin is black, so I'm sure we made a chocolate baby. As talented as you are, I doubt that you can do that!" BLACKMAIL Eve's curiosity eventually got the best of her, so after delivering a car one sunny afternoon, she drove the other car a short distance then stopped to watch what happened. Within an hour, a man got off the airport shuttle and drove off in the car. Eve followed him until he came to a crematory and drove in. She was shocked. When Eve confronted Sam, he had that surprised but 'I knew this day was coming' look. Eve was distraught. She had called Adam and told him what she saw. Sam told her to calm down while he made some phone calls. One went to Adam, another to Howard, a policeman who helped him out. When they had arrived, Sam played a DVD for them. The first few minutes showed Eve making her satchel deliveries. In one instance, the police arrived just after Eve drove off. The recipient was arrested by Howard and in the satchel they found cocaine. The next part of the DVD showed Adam fucking Maria. A pleading voice, speaking broken English begged: "PLEASE DON'T RAPE ME! PLEASE OH PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! " The video ends with Maria at a hospital being treated for rape. "Rape, drug trafficking, accomplices to murders," Howard said. "You'll never see the outside of a prison again if you persist." "We will take you down with us," Adam snapped. "All the evidence is against you," Howard retorted. As far as Sam knew, he was loaning his car out so Eve could deliver 'meals on wheels.' As for you, the police have your semen sample, and are waiting to catch you and I will see to that. Now, if you really think there are dead people in the trunk of that car, then that might be another reason to reconsider going stupid." "What about the baby," Adam blurted out. "Eve has already taken care of that," Sam said calmly. "We wouldn't want to bring a 'love child' into such an evil world. It just doesn't seem right." Adam looked at Eve, but she just stared straight ahead. "Now on the other hand," Sam continued, "we all have a nice little life going on here. The living is easy, the money is good, the parties are fun, the women are sexy," Sam gave a little wink toward Adam. "As the saying goes, 'keep your friends close and your enemy's closer.' I want us to stay as friends but that is up to you too. Regardless, we will stay close, 'til death do us part,' as another saying goes. South of Eden, North of Hell "I trust Eve to do what is best for her husband and for us all. There are a couple little changes I'm going to make as we move forward that I think you'll like. Eve, I'll be giving you a nice pay raise and in return you will be given more responsibilities, taking over some of Di's duties. Adam, I like what you are doing with Maria, keep it up. When Eve can't make it home, I will send Maria over so your bed will be warm and cozy. And the women at our parties, enjoy any your heart desires. Those are my generous terms, take it or leave it. I think you will find it an offer you can't refuse." "And if I don't take it," Adam said, glaring at Sam. Sam pulled Adam aside. "If you don't take it, well apparently you were not listening to carefully. We can arrange a canoeing accident for you. As for your lovely wife, Howard has a brothel where she will live the life of a, mind numbed, drug addicted, prostitute, once I'm done with her. But don't worry. He will start her out with his high end clients and only after her boobs sag a little will he make her service ordinary men. However, when her body starts to wear out will she be forced to suck the weenies of the winos. Do I make myself clear?" "Why are you doing this to us, just let us go, we won't say anything," Adam groaned. "You have a beautiful wife already, you don't need mine too." "I don't know," Sam replied. "Maybe I'm just ornery, maybe I like the intrigue and danger. For sure I do like a variety in women, just like you, and Eve has caught my fancy. I like working with her and I love her adventurous spirit. She takes on big tasks with relish, enjoying every minute of it. I'll admit I let things go too far but this is where we are at now so that is what we will have to live with. But don't worry, I'm an honorable man. If I decide to keep Eve, I'll compensate you for her. I gave Howard $200,000 for his wife, Di. That's how he was able to start his brothel and get all the free pussy he wants. I'm told he can bring a different woman home every night for a month and from what Di tells me, they all are excellent lovers." DUTY CALLS The distinctive ring told Eve it was Sam calling. Adam knew the ring too and voiced his displeasure, for he had his desires set for Eve too and she knew it. "I'll be back in a couple of hours," she told him as she dabbed Sam's favorite perfume on her breast, "all warmed up and ready for your love." Having removed her cloths, she dabbed some perfume onto her clean shaven pussy as well, then shot some lubricant into her vagina. Donning a light summer dress, she took one last look into the mirror; she kicked her panties and bra to the corner, blew Adam a kiss then headed next door. Sam and Di, along with their friends Hank and Gloria, were on the back deck. Tiki torches flickered causing shadows to dance about. Their animated conversation continued, as they hardly took notice of Eve when she sat down next to Sam. Sam began slowly running his hand up and down her back before moving it to her knee then up her thigh. Eve accommodated his moves by spreading her legs. "What do you think," Sam said, as he pulled Eve's dress back so Hank could see some pussy. "I'm sure Eve wouldn't mind if you wiggled around in that for a while." "Sam tells me she gives a good 'head' too," Di interjected. "I'd like to see that," Gloria said, echoing Di's suggestion. "It has been a long time since I have seen a woman go down on a man." Gloria gave Eve that 'better you than me' look, as Eve stood while Sam helped her out of her dress. "Dam, what a set of nice looking tits," Hank said as Eve approached him. "Here babe, let me get a good look at those beauties." As Eve bent over Hank, undoing his pants, he fondled, then buried his face into her twins. Sam threw a couple of lounge chair cushions onto the ground. As Eve knelt beside Hank, he put his hands on her head as she began toying with his engorged member. Mindful that Sam was behind her, she purposefully positioned herself so her cunt was prominently displayed, for she knew how much he loved to see pussy. In but a few minutes she had Hank groaning with pleasure. Eve was focused on Hanks body movements, doing those things that caused him to shudder but being careful to keep him from ejaculating too soon; pausing and squeezing the base of his cock, whenever he got close. It wasn't until she felt Sam hands touch her hips and his penis nudge her labia, that Eve's concentration was broken. Sam's vigorous thrusting, caused Eve's to lose control of her finesse cock sucking and soon Hank's sweet nectar fill her mouth. Still she didn't relinquish Hank's cock, instead letting Sam's rocking move her mouth up and down over Hank's purple bulb. Eve scarcely noticed the semen oozing from her mouth and dripping from her chin as her concentration was now drawn to her own sexual pleasures being brought alive by Sam's ramming rod. Laying her cheek against Hanks wet penis, Eve let her cries of delight and moans of passion fill the air. Soon she was oblivious to everything but feel of a penis in her shuddering pussy. Eve wasn't sure when Sam came, but when she stood up she could feel his cum running down her leg. Sam went to get some pool towels, his half erect cock bobbing with each step. He gave one to Hank and another to Eve. "That was a sensuous delight to watch," Gloria said, giving a nod to Eve, much better than any porn movie Hank watches. "Have you ever seen a porn movie being made," Sam asked. "We have one of the best studios in Florida right here; do you want to see it?" Intrigued, they all followed Sam to the 'Pink room' as they called it. It looked like any other nicely furnished bedroom. "Five thousand dollars each," Sam said as he pointed out the hidden cameras. There are ten of them in here with five separate audio channels as well. We shoot the raw footage here then send it off to be edited and produced. We have some guys in South California who are wonderful at putting it all together and our distributor has been fantastic. "So you have porn stars coming here to make movies, Hank asked. "Oh no," Di replied, "We like the amateur look. Our performers, or at least one of them, do not know they are being recorded. It is all done digitally now with computers, so we aren't even around. Walk into the room and everything is recorded from all angles, panorama and close-ups. It is really neat how it works." The control room was in the basement. Sam turned on the monitors then ran the footage of them going into the 'pink' room. It was pretty impressive. "How many rooms do you have set up like this," Gloria asked. "Four," Di said, "Our bedroom, the atrium, the pink room, and in the Maria's bedroom. She is one of the house maids, who is very good at this. We have just released a new movie with her and Eve's husband. Our guys in California took a couple dozen of their fucking escapades, combining them into a movie that is already selling well. It is just amazing how quickly this business goes from fuck to finish." "I don't think Eve has even seen this yet," Di said, as she played some of Maria's and Adam's movie. Hank wanted to see a movie being made. Gloria chided him for being too sexed up. Sam thought they could try if Di could find a man since both of them were 'emptied out'. Eve said she should be getting home, as Adam was waiting for her. "That's a good idea, we will use Adam," Sam said. This was the first time Eve had heard about this movie making business and wondered how her husband would react to being a porn star. Sam told Eve to stay put and told Di to call Adam. Her assignment was to seduce Adam into putting his cream into her sugar bowl. Di took up the challenge and headed to the pink room where they watched as she removed her shorts and massaged her clit while she called Adam. Hank wanted to know how Eve liked watching her husband fuck another woman. She repeated the mantra about it being liberating. Hank wanted to buy a video of Eve in action but Sam said they had plenty of footage but this was Di business so didn't know when she would have it produced. Di thanked Adam for sharing his wife, as Sam's happiness meant a lot to her. She told him that Eve had decided to spend the night with Sam, and she was alone - her toilet wouldn't stop running - she was afraid it might overflow - would he come help her. Adam tried to explain over the phone how to fix the problem but to no avail. When Adam got over to the room, the toilet had 'magically' fixed itself. Delilah had put her skimpy shorts and tight top back on, turning on her charm when he arrived. Adam had watched from the upstairs bedroom, hearing and seeing enough to know what Di was talking about when she said, "Two men, three women, and one woman gets them both." "It got me all lathered up but with no man to share it with," Di paused as she eyed Adam, not being subtle at all about her desire. "You would be disappointed," Adam replied, "I'm not a great lover." With seductive moves, Di removed her shorts and pulled off her tank top. Like a poll dancer during the shows finale, she tossed her long black hair, turning around, bending over and moving her arms so as to show off her feminine wares. Adam had never doubted her beauty and her little demonstration didn't disappoint. Her bush was black but thin and her swollen genital beckoned. Spreading them open, her inner lips looked moist and inviting as its dark edges contrasted with the pink folds. "I'm afraid of Sam," Adam blurted out. "Fucking with his wife can get me killed!" Di gave a little laugh. "I know he can sound gruff at times but he is a pussy cat. If I tell him it is what I wanted, he'll be good with that. Besides, he has Eve tonight and he likes wife swapping." Adam continued to hesitate, "Do you remember a while back," Di said, "when I told you that you had something I wanted. Well I have Eve's permission now. We'll take it nice and slow. Tonight I will just collect some of your hormones. That will be a nice start and it will do me a world of good." Di was lifting his tee shirt off over his head as she spoke. She pressed against him as they kissed. After her sloppy kiss, his pants came off rather easily. "I hope you don't mind if I'm on top," she said, pressing in again, her breast flattening against his chest as they kissed once more, while her hand fondled his penis. Once on a bed, Di wasted no time directing Adam's cock to her vagina. Once settled in she leaned forward, drawing his gaze to her dangling breast. "I like my foreplay to happen when my cunt if full of cock," she cooed. She moved up so he could suck her nipples before leaning in for another kiss. Her hair fell, creating a curtain around their faces. Their kisses were deep and long, with Di passionately sucking Adam's tongue into her mouth, while his cock enjoyed a synchronized vaginal hug. Tossing her hair back as she sat up, Di leaned her head back and closed her eyes. Adam studied her naked beauty, his hands glided over her breast then rested on her hips, as he moved his hips in unison with hers. First shallow then deep, she glided over his shaft, repeating the slow sensuous moves until his ejaculating cream spilled into her sugar bowl. Plunging him in as far as she could, Di leaned forward resting her cheek against his, her cunt shivering in sexual satisfaction. "I want to do this again sometime soon", she whispered in his ear. "It feels so nice." Applase broke out in the control room. That was very good they all agreed, with stunning views, even in a darken room and audio so clear they could hear the whispers. Eve did however, have some pangs of guilt knowing this too would probably end up with thousands seeing his husband's boyish face and gleaming cunt soaked cock. She had to remind herself that he belonged to everyone and she must share him if she was to grow. LETS PARTY As full fledge 'friends' of Sam and Di, Adam and Eve were invited and expected to show up at their parties. Beautiful bikini clad women lounged around the pool while the men drank wine and barbequed. Sam came around and give Adam's shoulder a little shake as he said, "There is a lot of natural beauty here tonight; happy hunting." Then he took Eve's hand and led her away, telling her he had a job for her. By this time, one of Eve's main jobs was one of 'entertaining' his friends. When Sam came out of the house again, Adam wandered inside, looking for his wife. A bouncer blocked the entrance to the gaming room, so he moved on; describing his wife to the waitresses he'd meet, asking if they had seen her. Finally one said she was in the atrium. A group of old fat men were sitting around an elevated bed, smoking and talking as one of the younger playboys, impaled the playmate. "Come on Tommy, can't you make her moan." There was laughter, followed by clapping when moments later the playmate wisely began to vocalize the sounds of sexual pleasure. Adam felt powerless, numbed, and wondering how things had come to this. Wearing nothing but a smile, a waitress came around and bending low give Adam a glass of wine. She smelled of perfume and her extra large tits made for fascinating eye candy. She didn't mind showing off while she served, which is exactly what she was there for. With everyone satisfied for the moment, the waitress came back and sat down next to Adam. "I recognized you from your movie," she said. "Maria and I are friends, so I keep up with her work. Perhaps sometime we can do a threesome." Adam gave her a funny look, trying to figure out who she had him confused with and what she was talking about. "She is quite a lover," the waitress continued, nodding toward the bed. "The men seem to really enjoy her. Have you seen any of her movies yet?" "No," Adam replied, sure this woman was hopelessly confused. "I'm made some right here in the past," she said with a tone of accomplishment. One of my flicks made it to the top ten, in the big boob's category." "For real," Adam said, hardly believing what he was hearing, not that her big boobs weren't worthy of a prize. "Everything inside the blue floor tile is seen and recorded by those cameras," she said pointing to seemingly nothing around the room, "so if you want to be seen watching the gang bang, you'll have to move closer." Looking around the room Adam could now pick out where some cameras were hiding. This must be one of those 'big tasks she does with relish,' Adam thought, remembering Sam's words. She certainly does seem to be enjoying every minute of it. She was bending over now, resting on the bed, as another fellow moved in behind, taking his turn working her cunt. "You are serious, aren't you," Adam said, "They really record this and make it into movies." The waitress laughed at his joke. "The editing was good in your movie. I liked those funny little sounds you make when you cum." When it was over, the woman got up and Adam realized it wasn't Eve. He felt somewhat relieved but wondered where Eve was. About then, Eve came down the hall, pushing a food cart, her bikini clad body swaying with each step. "Let's get out of here," Adam ordered. "I can't go, Eve said. "I'm still not done serving then Di wants me to spend the night with her friends, Betty and Brad." "Haven't you had enough," Adam shouted after her, as she continued down the hall. "Even if I have, they haven't. I think we are going to do some 'girl on girl,' Eve called back, if that helps." "And Brad, he just going to sit there and watch," a frustrated Adam yelled back. Eve walked back toward Adam. "Brad is a man and I'm sure he'll do what men do. I'll be home tomorrow night, I promise. We'll go out and do something fun, we'll go dancing, OK." Then seeing the waitress Eve said, "Say sweetie ..." "It's Clara." "Hi Clara, I'm Eve. Thanks for entertaining my husband. The poor guy needs a woman though and I was wondering ..." "I would love to," Clara interrupted. I know just what you are dealing with. I used to work here all the time too and know what demands they can put on you." "You are so pretty and thoughtful," Eve said. "I know he will love it. Your breast are so attractive, I bet every guy around would love to milk them." "And you are OK if I milk your husband's ..." "It is Adam, and of course he would love that and so would I," Eve said. Adam stood dumfounded, watching these two women strike a deal over him. With that Eve turned and left. "Hey hon," the waitress said as she took Adam's hand. "I know what you are going through, I've been where Eve is, only my boyfriend went 'stupid' on Sam and that was the end of him. I've found it best to go along to get along. If Sam's sees you frustrated and mad then that is not good. But if he sees you buying into the program, enjoying its benefits, then he'll take care of you. I have a pussy and breast and know how to kiss, so let's cross the blue tile to turn on the cameras, and show everyone that we know how to enjoy this lifestyle too. Clara's voluminous breast smothered Adam with warm softness as she gave him a 'titty' rub from head to toe. When he opened her flower, it blossomed with soft petals that begged to be nuzzled. Her clitoris protruded further than any his lips had kissed before, her body responding with fits and jerks as his tongue caressed it. After pollinating her bouquet, they both agreed to make another movie at the next party. After that, any scruples Adam had left, disappeared at party time. Di had hired Sandra and Brian to come during the parties and coach couples in Tri-Sum techniques. Sandra and Brian would demonstrate a concept, and then the couples would have a go at it. Eve would be working elsewhere so Adam would find another partner to copulate with. He soon learned to prolong the lovemaking, but 'aurora,' was proving to be more difficult for everyone. After all the women had received their dose of semen for the session, Brian would demonstrate it again, reminding everyone that their minds must connect as intimately as their bodies. Taking a volunteer, it was only moments after he penetrated her that she would turn flush as her body responded to his sexual energy. Before long you would think she was ridding down a rutted washboard road, the way her body bounded as Brian massaged the inside of her vagina with his cock. Once consummated, Brian would turn to them saying, "That is the goal, you can do it, the power is already in you, let yourself go and become as one." HELP With every trip to the airport and each satchel delivery, Eve was racking in the money. Spending more nights at Sam's house then her own; Eve enjoy her new found lifestyle the longer she lived it. When Eve wasn't home, Maria was sent over to be with Adam. Though both were blackmailed to carry out Sam's wishes, they developed a genuine fondness for each other. She had been one of Sam's mistresses but didn't get any bed time with him anymore. She knew quite a bit about Sam's operation, having been a drug smuggler when she met him and working as an aide for quite some time. Until she had been sent to Adam's house, Maria hadn't been allowed to leave Sam's place for quite a while. Even now she still wasn't trusted, as Sam would drop by unexpectedly, wanting to "see some cum in her cunt" to prove she had been with Adam. It was bizarre behavior and Maria thought he was going crazy. Her fears grew, believing Sam might harm her and anyone else, because they knew too much. She relayed her fears to Adam who was feeling the same way. South of Eden, North of Hell Now through cryptic notes, Adam and Maria reached out to John and met him in his back yard late one night. Per Maria's insistence, John had had the area sweep for listening devices and all the lights were turned off. With music playing, to mask their voices, they told their story. John listened to the convoluted tale. Their confession gave him a great deal of concern. Probing deeper, he asked Maria what kind of ties Sam had to the drug cartels. She thought he was a small time operator, used by the drug lords, and allowed to skim off some of the profits but it was an 'arms length' operation. He did not know them and they didn't really care about him, as long as he ran a safe operation and made them money. "What about the bodies?" "What are the connections to organized crime?" Maria thought for the most part he was just a delivery boy for the mob. Bodies were brought in from all around the country and Sam controlled the crematorium through a front company in New Jersey. However, she was certain that he had killed a few, probably with Howards's help, whenever he felt his operation was threatened. Sam was becoming more and more paranoid however. She thought everyone he knew was at risk now, particularly herself and Adam, as they knew a lot but didn't contribute much of anything to the operation, beyond making the fuck flicks, but anyone could do that. Eve was still his favorite girl, though he was letting more and more of his friends fuck her, something Maria said could go on for several years before he would put her out to pasture like he did her. As for Di, she was Howard's wife. There had been some bad blood between Howard and Sam after Di moved in with Sam. It wasn't until Di convinced Sam to finance a brothel that Howard wanted, that they made peace. Now Howard helped Sam keep ahead of the law and in return Di managed the brothel, hiring the Madam and finding the women to staff the place. She was also the one to turn their porn watching habit into a profitable business. "Tri-Sum, what was that all about," John questioned. Adam said it was about sexual liberation but Maria said it was much more than that. It is a mixture of Eastern beliefs and the Occult. Maria believed Di had the power to evoke a temporary spell over people and was sure Di had put one on her when they first met, then introduced her to Tri-Sum which led her to becoming Sam's mistress. Looking back on how Eve behaved in the early days, Maria believed Sandra and Di had put one on Eve too. They get you hooked with sexual gratification but the longer you study it the more it becomes about power and control. Since Di learned about Tri-Sum, she has her 'girls' get trained through the first level. That is where you learn to surrender and tune into the amoral, erotic, pleasures of sex. It was a brilliant business decision, making Howard a lot of money, as he caters only to high end clients. It also keeps Di in good favor with Sam, as she feeds women like Eve to him, keeping him and his friends stocked with sexually liberated women. But there was more, for Maria had witnessed Sandra levitate a very heavy table down a flight of stairs into the basement, where they performed rituals on it. Just walking past it, she had seen candles spontaneously light and flicker as a cold breeze blew in from nowhere. It was scary. As for Sandra and Brian, they had more recently taken their business to the London financial district, where they were said to be doing very very well. Then there was the sugar-leaf, what was that? Maria had used it for several years. She didn't know what it was but from her experience it interfered with her ability to make rational decisions and had made her susceptible to suggestions from people in authority. As addicted as it was, she was forced to quit using it when she became allergic to it. John knew between drug lords, organized crime, and the legal system, keeping everyone alive after getting into such a mess was iffy at best. He could understand why Maria had stayed this long, as escaping from this vendetta rich environment was difficult at best. Adam wasn't a poster boy of virtue either with his sexual exploits. Then there was Eve, actively participating in the illegal activities; even now that she knew what was going on. She was enjoying the momentary benefits as well as 'willingly' sleeping with the enemy and his friends. Her situation looked dire and John wondered if she wanted out. An emotional tearful Adam pleaded with John to save Eve as well. John asked for a couple of weeks to think things over. With no 'high profile' targets to bring down, prosecutors would be only to happy to advance their careers by putting behind bars, murders, rapist, pimps, drug runners, all bundled in the sleazy world of illicit sex. It would play well on the nightly news. With racing hearts, Adam and Maria snuck back into the house. They made love so Maria would have some 'proof' she was following orders. Maybe it was the adrenalin, but they actually had some 'aurora' going on, making their 'mandatory' sex very delightful, to say the least. What started as a 'quickie' became a lover's feast. FREEDOM A week later, Di got a call from Howard. He had seen a confidential investigative police report which linked their brothel to a drug operation. He said they were still very early in the investigation so they didn't have any names and he didn't know how they learned about the brothel or drew such a link, as the brothel never had any drug involvement and kept a very low profile. He was clearly worried though and Di said she would tell Sam. Sam was clearly upset too. "That dam whore house was Howard's idea and he should have known better than to get involved." After stewing for a while, Sam told Di to get her idiot husband over to the house that evening so they could figure out what to do. Sam already knew what to do however. The only link between him and those whores was Di and Howard. Break that link and he was off the hook. He called Maria, instructing her to take everyone out to his favorite Italian restaurant that evening. "It was a big thank you meal," he told her, "so don't hold back on the food or drink. Oh, and be sure to have Eve and Adam come too. One more thing, don't get home before ten or I'll think you didn't appreciate the gift." When Howard arrived, Di suggested they close the place down for a while. Howard wanted to just move it to another part of the city. Sam combined the two suggestions, telling them to shut it down until they could find a new location. Satisfied they had found a solution; Sam poured them some drinks and lit a cigar. The drug worked faster than he anticipated, their hearts stopping not long after they dozed off. Wrestling their bodies into the trunk of Howard's car, he broke protocol and drove straight to the funeral home. From there he drove to the seeder part of town, parking the car near a bus stop. Leaving Howard's car there with the key in it, he took buses until he could find a cab to take him home. With Di gone, Sam figured he would move Eve into her place. He didn't know if she had any business sense but thought he could get Adam to help her. But then, maybe he should just get rid of Adam and Maria while he was at it. A clean start was sounding good and a canoe accident in the canal would do just the trick. With that problem solved, Sam then started to fret about what the police might find in Howard's house once they went looking for him. It was early morning and Sam was on the road again, headed this time to Howard's house. He wished he had kept Howards keys but the back door window broke easily enough. It was a big older house, with an upstairs and downstairs. Looking for any evidence that might link the two of them was going to be hard, with so many hiding places and so little time. In the DVD player, he found the latest sex video that Di must have given him of Maria and Adam. On Howard's computer, Sam did find his name in a contact list but most alarming, he found raw footage of Eve and himself. In the basement were boxes of records, taxes and who knew what else. Sam was glad he had come but now what to do about it. In the garage were Howard's boat and another car. Taking a gas can, Sam drenched the boxes in the basement. Siphoning gas from the car and boat, he drenched the basement walls and stairs before doing the same upstairs and on the main level. Seeing the gas stove in the kitchen, he got a wrench and disconnected the gas pipe, letting the gas escape into the room. When the fire got big enough, he figured, the house would explode too. He went through the house one more time examining his handwork. The house stunk of gas, so much so it was making him ill. In the basement, something caught his eye in a dark corner. He flicked on a light. There was a judgment day flash as the little spark from the light switch set things in motion. The massive fire and resulting explosion was so great that they did not find the body for six days. The fire department had all it could do to keep the neighboring house from catching on fire and let Howards burn to the ground as they protected them. The fire marshal said it was an obvious case of arson. The police report said the body was burned beyond recognition but they were sure it was Howard because he never reported to work again. John helped with the investigation but they could never determine a solid motive. There was however, a tantalizing clue found in Howard's work desk. A sketchy report talked about a brothel and a drug operation but since there were no details, some wonder if Howard was on to something and the criminal element found out and took him out. The fiery explosion of Howard's house was front page news. Maria went looking for Sam and Di. When she couldn't find them and when they didn't show up the next day either, Maria rented a Rider truck, grabbed hordes of cash and all the drugs, along with her stuff and whatever else she thought she could use, then disappeared. Maria warned the other house keepers and gardener, that their lives were in peril; so they abandoned the place too, fearing for their own safety. The house sat empty for the better part of a year. John bought it at a Tax auction and immediately set about cleaning it up and redoing its landscaping. He found numerous sex videos involving Eve with a diversity of lovers in a variety of situations. Adam didn't know half of what his wife had been doing. Adams affairs were well documented too, though much more mundane by comparison. John destroyed them all, never bringing the subject up with anyone. Adam and Eve separated for a while. It took them time to clear their minds from all the wild living they had experienced and for the toxic drugs to clear out of Eve's body. Adam received a letter from Maria. The postmark was from Argentina. A picture showed her sipping tea by a villa overlooking the ocean. She thanked him for all the 'good times,' framing those words with pubic hair. She promised him a good life, if he would come and join her. Eventually Adam and Eve got their heads together and they worked on rebuilding their marriage, trading the highs and thrills of infatuation and loveless sex, for the joys of intimate love. When Eve became pregnant she was delighted but worried too. Having aborted the baby conceived by David, she feared losing another one. With a drug free body and a good diet, Carol helped her kept fit, with a beautiful baby to show for it. The Godferys helped Adam and Eve landscape their lot, making it a little paradise in its own right. Now instead of being south of Eden, they were in the middle of it, with hell having been recreated too. With a fresh start, the past slowly faded, the future looked bright and the present was a delight to live. Adam and Eve were at peace once again, never missing an opportunity to kiss when they heard the DJ on the radio say, "It's half past kissing time, time to kiss again."
