Chapter 6

The fact was that most people, especially women, and especially, especially attractive young women, needed some protection. Either a group together, or a strong man, or whatever. So Abrigail had come to terms with the fact that the rough and ready sex whenever he wanted it was the best she could hope for and she and her two daughters were at least not prey to other people. Somyae was slightly different in that she was starting to enjoy being an object of lust for a man. She was a teenage girl and wanted to have someone looking at her as a sexually attractive object. Since her mother also fell into the same category, it hadn’t yet occurred to her that the man might be less than discriminating in his tastes. As he had told her once, whilst forcing his way into her anal passage, a back side stays nicely tight for many years in the oldest of women, unless it is overused. Maddy was coming to the conclusion that she would like him to have her, but he showed no sign of moving away from the older two females.

What he did occasionally do was tell one or other of the older ones to satisfy Maddy’s desires and then get her to satisfy theirs. Sometimes he and the other woman lay in the bed and watched; but more often whoever the other woman was would be providing various positions and orifices to his satisfaction. Abrigail had got used to watching her two daughters playing with each other. She was even a little turned-on by it. She was less keen when she was told to lick out one of her daughters, something in her still said ‘this is not right’, but she was getting used to even that now. She had only once had Somyae between her legs his her face and was ashamed to admit to herself that she had really enjoy it. On that occasion she had even forgot her fears that Finn might forget his promise and do more than simply play with Maddy’s body.

They found that first year passed satisfactorily. They were fed, warm and protected. They had to provide an open cunt, mouth, or anus (or all three if he was feeling energetic) in return. He virtually never hit them. It wasn’t a bad position to be in in the society they were in. Maddy passed twelve and reached thirteen. She was becoming more regular in her menstrual cycle, her body was becoming less and less likely to be mistaken for a boy. Somyae had grown like her mother, she had full breasts that offered a fourth alternative for spending if they were held together. His spray would hit her neck and face and she would smile. She didn’t like it, but she knew some people did a lot worse. Abrigail had actually reached a climax during sex with him, twice! He had been surprised and surprisingly pleased.

He was selective in the work he did now. Not that he only selected jobs where people deserved it; no, he didn’t ask. What he did do was to judge whether the money was good and the job was accomplishable for that money. He didn’t pick just easy jobs, his reputation was a good one and he kept that. When Dixy failed to wipe out the Ember Clan (all eight of the miserable sods – they were a family that did deserve it), he, Dixy, left the area for good. The employer told Finn that he would pay double what he had offered Dixy because the Ember Clan were expecting it now, and that he would add a bonus if Dixy was brought to book for his failure. Finn didn’t need to chase down Dixy, he let it be known in the East that as long as Dixy stayed there Finn wouldn’t come after him. Untraceable he told the employer. Finn always knew where people were heading, he had a lot of contacts. He could probably have traced him to the town at least, maybe closer; but he didn’t try. Everybody made mistakes, and this one had benefited him if he could do it. Anyway, he had been drinking buddies with Dixy on occasion. The Ember Clan bought their food from a well known bakers, they liked pies. They never noticed that some of the pies had the same filling but different pastry. That was Maddy’s influence. The three women made pies, aware that they were now directly involved in murder. The pies still had to be baked in the baker’s oven, for a price.
