Chapter 36: Jeff and Debbie

Grace and Natalie were sitting with Liz and Catherine, when I entered the Dining Hall. So I got my breakfast and headed over to them.

“Good morning!” I said, settling into the chair next to Grace.

They all responded in kind, and then Liz, with a twinkle in her eye asked, “Did you sleep okay?”

“Like a baby with two mommas,” I replied just as cryptically. “Where is everybody?”

“Candy and Mandy and Julie and Jen all went on the tour of the ranch. You know, the one that takes all day,” Liz provided.

“Yeah. Julie said that since they have to wear panties anyway, they might as well dress to ride,” Natalie replied with a giggle.

“Sarah and John came through a while ago. They took their coffee and headed for the deck. It looked like a serious discussion, so we haven’t intruded,” Catherine provided this time.

“But now that Michael’s here, can we listen in?” asked Liz mischievously

“Liz! You know better than that!” Catherine said quickly.

“Anyway,” said Liz acting annoyed that she couldn’t eavesdrop. “Sarah said Nicky and Randi were still asleep in Debbie’s bed.” This time looking at me and raising her eyebrows in question.

I remained silent.

“And nobody’s seen Jeff and Debbie,” Liz went on, seeing if I would rise to the bait. She knew perfectly well that I knew exactly where everyone was and whether they were okay.

“Is something wrong, Michael?” Catherine thought to me.

“I’ll catch you up after breakfast,” I thought back.

Catherine knew that if something were really wrong, I’d tell her right away. So she relaxed and we all chatted about the ranch. Natalie was feeling a little down because she and Grace were supposed to graduate Saturday night, and she was supposed to have given the valedictory speech.

Catherine’s ears picked up at that.

“What do you mean, honey?” she asked Natalie.

“Well, it’s just that I’ve worked so hard for four years to be number one in my class, and now with Grace and I both here, Bradley will get to give the speech.” Natalie bemoaned.

“You and Grace here?” Catherine asked, looking for clarification.

“Yeah. Natalie beat me by two one hundredths of a point!” Grace said. “She was number one and I was number two. It’s just not fair. She got the bigger boobs, too!” she said and giggled.

Catherine remained quiet, thinking. I didn’t need to be an Empath to feel the wheels turning. Finally, she stood and excused herself saying, “I’ll be right back.”

“So what are you guys doing today?” I asked. Since I didn’t have anything on my agenda, I thought I’d see what they had planned.

“We thought we’d head over to the stables...” Natalie started.

“ ... and check on the calf that was born yesterday,” finished Grace.

“After that, we don’t really have anything else until tonight,” Natalie added.

“Tonight? What’s tonight?” I asked.

“It’s the Scrabble tournament,” said Grace.

“It’s after dinner,” said Natalie.

“Here, in the Dining Hall,” said Grace.

“Sandy said they usually have a good crowd,” said Natalie.

“And they have some very good local players that should show up too,” said Grace.

“They play International Tournament Style,” said Natalie.

“Which means two man teams,” said Grace.

“But they use the American Oxford Dictionary,” said Natalie.

“Instead of the International Scrabble Dictionary,” said Grace.

“WILL YOU TWO STOP THAT!” I yelled softly, laughing while I did. “You’re driving me crazy!”

“But you’re a twin too!” said Natalie.

“So you must know what it’s like,” said Grace.

“Yeah. But were not identical, Thank God!” I laughed. “I’d look pretty funny in a skirt!”

“And I’d look funny with hair on my boobs!” said Nicky. She and Randi had walked in about midway through the conversation.

We all laughed.

“But seriously, Grace and I are going to enter as a team,” said Natalie.

“And we could use some practice, before it starts,” said Grace.

“Would you all like to help us out and play against us for a couple of rounds?” Natalie asked.

I shrugged and smiled. “I don’t know how much it will help. I’m not very good,” I told them.

“We’ll help,” Nicky said looking at Randi.

“Why not? We don’t have anything else planned,” Randi said.

“Great!” said Grace. “We’ll meet you here at lunch and then we can practice afterwards.”

“That will give us a chance to check on Bessie and round up a game and an American Oxford dictionary,” said Natalie.

“Who’s Bessie?” asked Randi.

“She’s the calf Grace and I help deliver yesterday,” said Natalie.

“O-o-o, can I go with you guys?” asked Randi.

The rest of the discussion was about Grace and Natalie delivering the calf.

All of a sudden, Randi said, “Oh yeah! I forgot! I was supposed to tell you that Jeff wants you to come to his room in the other wing, as soon as you can. But you’re not to do that thing, you know, listen to them, until you get there.”

I stood up and looked at my tray.

“Don’t worry about it. Go on. I’ll take care of it,” Nicky said, smiling at me.

“Thanks, Sis!” I said as I went to answer my summons. I didn’t scan them as I had promised, so I actually felt butterflies in my stomach, as I headed to meet my fate. I scanned to locate them in the other wing of the Lodge, but did not read them. When I found them, I knocked on the door with some trepidation.

“Come in, Michael,” Debbie called with a twinkle in her voice.

I let the air out of my lungs. I didn’t realize I had been holding my breath. Opening the door, I saw Debbie on her knees between Jeff’s legs. She was smiling, and Jeff looked relaxed.

“Took you long enough! I thought I was gonna have to give him another blow job!” Debbie said laughing. Jeff just grinned.

“Randi forgot to tell me until her caffeine kicked in,” I supplied as my excuse.

“Did you listen to us?” she asked serious now.

“No. I gave Jeff my word,” I said.

“How do we know you kept...” Jeff started to ask.

“YOU DON’T!” I snapped. “Except for my behavior around you, and my treatment of you and your whole family since I woke up,” I said calming down now. “I will tell you that I am constantly scanning to check on everybody. I usually just tune into them to see if they are okay, and then go on. For instance, do you know where your daughters are right now? And if they are safe?”

Jeff hung he head. “Not really,” he said weakly. But I wasn’t finished.

“The last I checked, they were with Jenny and Julie and eleven others, headed west on the old logging trail, on the all-day ranch tour. They are currently out of my range, and I am discovering it makes me uncomfortable,” I told them. The surprise as I said it registered in my voice.

I continued explaining, a trace of guilt in my voice now.

“This morning, I woke up, and as I now do most mornings, I check on everyone. When I scanned Debbie and saw she was hurting, I listened a moment to see if I needed to call 911. What I heard caused my blood to run cold, and at first I was tempted just to batter you senseless,” I told him truthfully.

“Better bring your Army,” Jeff interrupted.

“Don’t even go there!” I said in a menacingly low voice. Jeff may have been a little pissed, but I was mad! I took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly before beginning again. I think I was mad at myself for making that stupid promise not to check up on them. I knew I’d never do that again. They would all have to learn to live with it!

“Look,” I told Jeff. “My cousin is crying in the bathroom, and I wanted to know why. What I found out caused me to get angry at first. Then, I began to look for the best solution. Debbie clued me in when she said she wished you could see the pain you have caused her every time you all had sex for the last fifteen years. And since I didn’t want Debbie to have to endure any more pain, and I have the ability to grant this particular wish. I made a decision, and acted on it. I take full responsibility for that. Do I apologize for it? No!”

I guess I must have forgotten all about my resolution to control my temper better.

“Whoa! Wait a minute! We didn’t ask you here to berate you for what you did!” Jeff said.

“Yes. We wanted to thank you for doing it!” Debbie said smiling at me.

“Uh? ... But I thought you’d be angry. I didn’t know...” I said, embarrassed at my mistake.

“I guess he really didn’t listen to us,” Jeff said with a grin.

“No. I told you. I gave you my word,” I said with my head still down. “But that’s the last time I ever promise something like that.”

They laughed, but I’m sure they didn’t understand. Not reading them had been hard on me, causing fears and uncertainties I had not experienced in this life. Finally, I looked up.

“Is it alright to scan you now?” I asked. I was already scanning anyway.

“Sure! That’s what we wanted to ask you,” said Jeff. “Once you showed me Debbie was crying, you had my complete attention. And I’ve spent the last hour apologizing. You have no idea how bad I feel.”

“I’d say I do. But I’m not going there right now,” I thought.

“And then Debbie suggested we get you to show me how she likes it, and what doesn’t hurt,” Jeff said.

“Uh ... okay. How would you suggest I do that?” I asked.

“I don’t know...” he said as he looked to Debbie for help.

Debbie blushed too, “I don’t really know either. I just figured you could ... er, work something out.”

I had realized after my earlier promise, that Jeff was the last remaining family member that I had not scanned deep. So I paused a moment to do so, letting them stew in their embarrassment a moment longer.

Jeff was an okay guy. Different from John in that he was more uptight, and generally conservative. But his loyalty ran deep and I could immediately see why Debbie was attracted to him. I got the impression that he was more relaxed here at the ranch, than he had been in years. I could also see the signs of an earlier heart problem. I made a mental note that I needed to talk to him about that later. It went right by me that I had been able to see a medical condition, but that would also come back to me later.

Finally, Debbie said, “Michael, will you help us? Will you show Jeff how to make love to me without causing so much pain? Please?” she pleaded.

“Of course! I just had to figure something out,” I replied. “I’d be glad to assist you.”

“Thank you!” Debbie said, almost too low to hear.

“Okay. Jeff, do you know what the term ‘shallow vagina’ means?”

“I know what it implies,” he said.

“Good. Now how long are you when you’re erect?”

“I can’t say I ever measured,” he replied, looking embarrassed.

Debbie giggled.

“Okay. Debbie, get him hard while I go find something to measure with.”

I left the room. I really didn’t need to leave. There were several ways to do the comparison I had in mind, but Jeff needed a moment to regain his composure, so I walked to the end of the unfinished wing, and finding some tools that had been left, selected a tape measure.

When I returned to the room, she had him very erect so I just handed her the tape. She stretched it out on the underside of his cock, so I suggested she measure the other side. They decided together that he was a shade over six inches.

“Okay, Debbie, hop up on the bed, and scoot your pussy right up to the edge. Now, Jeff, squat here, lick your middle finger and then very softly run it along her outer lips. Help her lubricate a little to make this less painful,” I directed.

He did and Debbie winced. I tied him into her feelings and had him do it again, and then again. Finally, after repeated tries, he got it gentle enough to feel good to Debbie. When he felt her start to feel good, he stopped.

“I had no idea I was that rough!” he told her. “I’m really sorry sweetheart, I didn’t know.”

Debbie looked at him with those tiger eyes, and I started working on my exit strategy. But I needed to finish the lessons first.

“Now, Jeff. Have her hold back her labia, and slowly, SLOWLY, ease your middle finger into her vagina.”

He did and she winced slightly.

“That’s it? That’s the back of it?” Jeff asked incredulously. “Why it’s barely four inches!”

Then as the reality struck him, his finger slid out of her pussy, and he sat down hard on the floor, looking stunned. Debbie looked at him, and hope flooded her emotions. She was beginning to believe that he finally understood.

“Jeff,” I said, waiting for him to look at me. When he did, I continued. “The rest from here is communication. I know you care for her. Show her. Show her by listening to every word, every sound. Watch her body language, and if all else fails, ask her!”

“Debbie,” I instructed, “Be patient, he’s never had a vagina, and literally has no equivalent or basis for comparison. The only thing he has is a little knowledge and your feedback. Make it specific, and initially, make it almost constant.”

Debbie nodded, but her eyes were on her husband.

“Jeff, for the next couple of times, I’d forget about cumming, and concentrate on learning to get her off. I promise, she will make it up to you later,” I told him. Debbie was nodding her head, looking at Jeff with expectation.

“Okay guys, I’m outta here! If you need me, just think my name and I’ll answer,” I said as I closed the door.

“Oh. Jeff. She likes it when you barely tap on her clit with your tongue!” I thought to both of them from the hall. I could hear her giggle through the closed door.

I sat down alone in the great room of the Lodge. I was mentally checking on Jeff and Debbie as I reviewed what just happened. I decided I needed to watch my temper more.

I began to run through multiple scenarios where I had used my gift since I had been here. I realized I had been pretty free with its use, and would have to be more aware in the future. The ranch was providing a good training ground, because I wasn’t being exposed to too many people outside my immediate family.

Speaking of family, I scanned to see if everyone was okay. Debbie and Jeff were where I left them, and doing fine. I think Jeff was finally getting it. They still had much to discuss, but for now, practice was what he needed. And confidence in him was what Debbie needed. It appeared they were both getting what they needed.

Nicky and Randi were with Grace and Natalie at the barn, happily discussing a variety of girl topics.
