Chapter 15: The Island

The three followed Charly to her car and headed for the beach where a boat was waiting to take them to the island. Dragon island wasn’t on any map, in fact, as far as anyone knew the tiny land mass sticking out of the water was barely habitable to the plants and trees that did grow there. Occasionally, teenagers would venture out to the island for a romp in the sand that covered the north shore. Other than that, there was no other logical reason to visit it.

The boat captain was well aware of the stories that accompanied the island, which was why he agreed to deliver the four during the day. They arrived an hour before sunset and he was anxious to return to his safe harbor as soon as he dropped them off. He would return tomorrow morning by 9:00 am to pick them up, otherwise, he had no business being on the island.

Charly had been to the island several times with different boys, when she was a teenager, and different men now that she was in her thirties, for completely different reasons. She was contracted by the Titans and used exclusively outside of her home near the island. Only for excursions that involved work on the island was she ever brought near her home. She had no family and most of her childhood friends had moved on, so she wasn’t a liability, but she had no desire to linger in her hometown. The island, however, was a completely different story.

The fame of the Dragon was talked about frequently among the locals. Of course, nobody actually knew what it was or who controlled it, but that didn’t suppress the stories. Some believed it was a type of rare octopus that was being controlled by the government and others speculated that it was a mechanical robot controlled by levers and gears. The only people who had escaped its grasp had left and never looked back. A few had recounted their experiences, via the internet on private blogs, which was the only information “leaked” to give any credence that anything even existed on the tiny land mass. Charly knew otherwise. Charly knew from personal experience.

“So you’ve been inside? What’s it like?” Alpha asked as the four walked through the mass of trees surrounding the entrance.

“Cold. Dark. Wet. This would be easier if we had a sub. We could enter under the water through the cave and slip out completely undetected. That entrance has a direct line to the mouth of the dragon. Of course, we’ll need to be naked when we go in, except for the masks. You did bring masks, right?” Charly asked sternly.

“Got two of ‘em right here in the bag of goodies. Delta has the other two in her bag,” Beta replied.

“Good. The woman who runs the lab has special cleats that she wears as well as a mask. I tried to get some cleats for us, but the timeline was too short. We’ll be fine as long as we’re careful and we wear the masks. No funny business once we’re inside. If we’re in and out quickly, we’ll have time to play tonight. In fact, we’ll need to huddle together because it will be cold, but I have some toys hidden here that will make the time pass pretty quickly. If you leave here unsatisfied, it’ll be your own fault,” Charly said laughing.

Bernadette woke up and found herself laying in her own bed back in her apartment. She rubbed her eyes and pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. The last thing she remembered was the blissful final encounter with the machine full of the most intense orgasms she’d ever remembered. She rubbed between her legs and suddenly remembered the thick steel collar around her neck. It was gone. The leg iron was missing as well. Next, her mind raced back to her meeting in the conference room with Blackwell and Duncan, and finally her biting down on his cock. It was all so strange. None of it made sense. She decided that since she was currently free, a shower was a necessity. At this point, she had resolved to take advantage of every single moment because she literally had no idea what the next moment would bring.

“Guess what Sweetie?” Lucy said happily as Alex sat down in his recliner, seemingly wiped out from his long day at work.

He was still dazed by his meet up with Bull just three hours prior. He just couldn’t make it make sense. Why was this guy applying for a job at his company, in his department? This couldn’t be a coincidence, but what would the coincidence be? Him applying for the job or the job being at his company, or the fact that Bull was now going to be his new boss at work? His brain hurt from doing all the math, not to mention the rejection of applying for a job he was almost guaranteed to get. How was any of this even possible?

“Are you listening to me, Alex? I’m trying to give you some good, no, great news and you’re ignoring me. Do you want to sleep on the couch tonight, because I can text Bull right now and–”

“No, no! I’m listening, Sweetness. I’ve just had a really difficult day. What is it? What’s your great news? I’m excited to hear about it,” Alex answered assuringly.

“I got a job today!” Lucy announced, clearly excited as she clapped her hands and jumped up and down.

“Wait, what? You got a job? Seriously? Where? Doing what? That’s amazing love! Tell me more!” Alex said suddenly very excited by the thought of something positive and the possibility of good sex tonight.

“That’s the best part! I’ll be working with you! At your company! I’m going to be an administrative assistant!” Lucy said proudly.

“That’s awesome, wait, what?” he asked, perplexed. “You’re going to work at Duncan Enterprises? As a secretary? For who?”

“No silly goose, I’m an Administrative Assistant. Not like a secretary. I’ve got obligations and duties, and I still get to have coffee every afternoon. I negotiated that into my deal,” she said triumphantly.

“Negotiated? What? You negotiated a deal? What kind of salary are they paying you? I hope they didn’t take advantage of you! Secretaries make at least $35 an hour, which is pretty good money if you can get it,”
