Gary Corn left the CAP Testing Center at nearly a dead run. He didn’t even take the time to look at his new CAP card to see if he’d improved or lost points in his score. He’d allowed an hour for his retest and it had taken over an hour and a half. It was now 5:30 on a Friday afternoon and traffic was horrendous. If the test had only taken the time he anticipated, he would’ve had a surplus of time to make it to the restaurant where he was to meet his fiancee, her sister and their parents, his future in-laws. Now, even if everything went well, he’d be at least 15 minutes late. He was already dreading the consequences of that!

Six pm, the time he was supposed to meet everyone, arrived while he was still driving toward his destination. He could almost imagine the scene that was occurring even while he was fighting traffic and stealing glances at the clock on the car’s dashboard.

Unknown to Gary, just as he looked at his clock, Harold, his future father in law, looked at his watch for the seventh time before he said, “Where is he Donna? I thought we made it plain to him we were to meet here no later than 6:00?”

“I don’t know Daddy. I know he knew when he was supposed to be here. I’ll try calling again. He said he had a late appointment this afternoon. Maybe it took longer than he thought it would.”

“Do that. And let him know I don’t appreciate his behavior. Just because he allows too short a time for an appointment doesn’t excuse his tardiness.” While Donna was trying to call Gary, her father Harold motioned the waiter over and gave him an order for hors d’oeuvres.

Donna’s call was answered on the third ring. Gary used his hands free feature in the car and talked to her while driving. After she chastised him for being late, he tried to explain, saying, “Honey, I’m sorry. My meeting ran late. I’m only a few minutes out now but this traffic is horrendous and the snow makes it worse. I’ll explain when I get there, I promise.”

“You’d better, and you’d better apologize to daddy too. You know how he hates people who can’t keep to a schedule. For some reason, he’s even worse today than he usually is.”

After Gary ended the call he thought about Donna and their relationship. She had always been high maintenance and somewhat inconsiderate but lately she was becoming a real pain in the ass. Her asshole father didn’t help matters any either. Whatever he said was the gospel as far as Donna was concerned. He wondered if his relationship wasn’t on the downhill slopes. Should he, perhaps, end the engagement? He hated to admit he’d made a mistake, especially at this point, but he was beginning to think he had. The wedding was only a couple of months off now and quite a lot of money had been spent or obligated.

While they were waiting for Gary to arrive at the upscale French Restaurant, Donna was scanning the other diners to see if any of her friends were there. This was a favorite weekend dining place for many of the families her parents associated with while she was growing up. She watched an older couple and a very handsome young man come from the bar to be seated at a table across the room from her parents’ table. Her heart began beating quickly when she realized the young man was her ex boyfriend. He still made her heart flutter, but he just didn’t measure up in other aspects. As a lover, he was by far the best she’d ever had and his family’s money and social position was near top tier. She was sure they were on the way to wedded bliss when the announcement about the Swarm approaching was made.

Of course, when CAP testing was set up, he and everyone she knew rushed out to get the test, hoping they would qualify to leave earth and escape the danger. To her chagrin, none of her immediate group of friends, including Thomas, her now ex, qualified. She immediately knew she needed to reassess her future and find another man to snare if she wanted to survive.

One of her sorority sisters made the comment in the house one evening that her brother had just tested and managed to score a 6.9 on the CAP test. Donna cornered her later that evening and got her to promise to introduce them. After the introduction, during which she pulled out all the stops to get a date with him, the rest, as they say, was history. She hit him with the full court press only a beautiful woman could pull off.

It was disgusting, the things she had to put up with for him, but he had the score, she had to keep him happy. The cretin actually liked to drink beer and bowl! He even had the gall to tell her he hated her father’s country club and, to him, the pretentious people who were members. He always complained when she insisted they attend functions there. In order to keep him on the string she had to completely change her life. She still missed Thomas and sat looking at him while waiting on Gary. Even now, almost eighteen months after they broke up, her pussy still moistened when she saw or thought about him. If only he could have gotten a better score!

Finally, she saw Gary coming across the room toward them. Her father saw him also. A frown creased his brow and he clenched his jaws. It looked as if Gary was in for a good tongue lashing from her Father. He was almost to the table when people at the tables he was passing between began to talk louder. Some of them even stood. Donna ducked her head in embarrassment, just knowing Gary had committed some kind of faux pas. She sighed, dreading the talk she would have to have with him as soon as they were alone again. Why couldn’t he ever learn?

Now the noise was louder and spreading across the dining room. Donna thought, ‘my God, what has that idiot done to upset that many people?’

She noticed several very large men and women standing around the room and watched one step onto the bandstand. He moved the band leader aside, took the microphone from the stand and said, “Attention. Could I have your attention please? I’m Lieutenant Harris of the Confederacy Space Marines. As many of you probably realize by now, this is a Confederacy pick up. Listen closely now for instructions. First, children under 14 should follow Private Scott. Private, raise your hand. There. Now, off with you. The very young, if any, may stay with their mother if you wish, but we have sitters for them as well.

“Ladies who are no longer able to have children and anyone who doesn’t want to be considered for pickup please leave this room and wait in the lobby or bar. Sponsors, please see Corporal Timmons for card readers to use on potential concubines CAP cards. Corporal, raise your hand.”

When the sponsors were gathered around the Corporal he said, “Okay. First things first. I need to see everyone’s CAP Card.” He took the cards as they were presented, quickly scanned them on a small device and sorted them into some kind of order. He handed them back with a small device that looked slightly like a cell phone. As he returned the cards and the reader he told each sponsor how many concubines they could choose and for the higher CAP scored ones suggested at least one extra male.

When he came to Gary and another man he said, “You two have a slight dilemma. You can either choose four women or, if you want a male to help out, no more than one extra man and the other three conks should be women. It basically depends on how busy you want to be at night although most sponsors in the 7 point range tend to take all women.”

Gary spoke up then, “Why do I get extra concubines? I thought a 6.9 only got two?”

The Corporal reached for and took Gary’s card then, before he looked at it again his gaze turned slightly upward and he was quiet for a moment before he said, “Ah. I understand you just retested this afternoon didn’t you?” Gary nodded yes and the Corporal continued, “You didn’t look at your new card when you received it did you?”

This time, Gary shook his head negatively and said, “No, I didn’t. I was running late and just grabbed it and left so I wouldn’t get here any later than I did.”

“Yeah, I thought so. You improved your score this test. You have a 7.3 now and you need to choose four conks. Can you handle that?”

Gary grinned and said, “Yeah, I think so. Sorry.” The Corporal grinned and handed the card back before he began returning the cards of those who scored between 6.5 and 6.9. After everyone had their cards back and one of the devices the Corporal quickly explained how to use it then said, “Okay now. Go on out there and find your concubines. Be sure they are a good fit for your household and don’t worry about their health and how they look. Those things can be changed in the med tubes.”

While the Corporal was giving instructions to the sponsors, the Lieutenant continued his instructions to the rest of the crowd. “Now, those of you who wish to be considered as concubines please step to the rear of the room.”

As soon as the Lieutenant stopped talking, Donna rushed across the room to Thomas. When she arrived at his table, he stood and she hugged him before saying, “Thomas, it’s so good to see you again. Have you managed to raise your score so we can go to the stars?”

“No, unfortunately they still don’t see my value. I still have a 5.3. How about you?”

“No, me neither. Come with me. I found a rube to sponsor me. He gets two. We’ll just put you in his other spot and we can be together again.”

Thomas began to smile and said, “That would be great. Are you sure he’ll do it? You know I won’t put up with any queer stuff don’t you?”

Donna laughed and said, “Of course. Now come on.”

Gary had returned to the table and was talking to Abigail, Donna’s sister, when she and Thomas returned. Donna noticed he was reviewing Abby’s CAP card on a little phone looking device. When Gary saw Donna arrive leading a well built young man by the hand he frowned and said, “Where have you been?”

“I’ve been collecting your other concubine honey. This is Thomas. He’ll be coming with us. Are you ready?”

All the delays, conversations and traffic problems he’d encountered since leaving the testing center had put Gary in a bad mood. Donna dragging her ex up to him and just telling him he would be coming as his concubine made him even more angry. This, along with his memories of some of Donna’s past actions and conversations and his earlier thoughts about making a mistake becoming engaged to her caused him to snap. Without even thinking, he snarled, “No, he won’t and no I’m not ready. I’m still choosing concubines.” His normal politeness fled and without thinking, he looked back toward Abigail and snapped, “Get naked and blow me Abby.”

Abby looked startled, Harold puffed up and said, “What are you thinking young man? My daughter’s no whore! I think you should leave right now before I forget I’m a gentleman. I always knew you were trash and you’ve finally proven it for all to see.”

Gary just stood and looked at Abby, watching Harold out of the corner of his eye. He said, “Well? Are you going to do it or not? I don’t have much time here. If you want to go with me as a concubine I need to see if you’re worth taking.” Abby slowly knelt in front of Gary and reached for his zipper. Harold bellowed and started toward them when there was a buzzing sound and he collapsed from the guard’s stinger shot.

Donna screamed, “Stop! There’s no way I’m sharing you with another woman, especially my sister. Now come on. We need to get on the ship.”

Gary looked at Donna and a smirking Thomas. That was the last straw as far as he was concerned. He said, “Yes dear, you’re right. There IS no way you’re going to share me. You need to get out there and find a sponsor if you want to become a concubine because you sure don’t have one right now.”

Donna cried out, “What do you mean honey? You’re my sponsor.”

“No, I’m not. For some time I’ve worried we made a mistake becoming engaged, but after today, especially after what you’ve just done, I’m sure it was a mistake. I won’t compound it by taking you as a concubine. You’re too self centered and demanding for my taste. I’m sorry. Now go on and leave me alone please.”

Donna and Thomas both looked angry and started toward Gary. When they saw the Corporal raising his hand with the stinger in it. They relaxed and stepped back, still glaring at Gary. The Corporal looked at him and said, “You sure are causing a lot of trouble here, Sir. Now, would you please find your conks so we can leave?”

During this time, Patricia had been watching the proceedings, moving from foot to foot as if undecided about something. After the Corporal told Gary to find his conks he turned to her and said, “Are you Patricia Stallings?”

Patricia nodded and said, “Yes.”

The Corporal continued, “You didn’t come get your card reader so you could choose your concubines. Do you not intend to volunteer?”

Patricia looked surprised, perhaps thoughtful, and finally said, “I hadn’t really decided whether I wanted to or not but you know, I think I will. I’m sick of Harold’s crap, snobby attitude, and his horrible friends. Yes, I volunteer. Could I have one of those card readers please?”

After receiving the card reader and instructions on how to use it, Patricia turned and started toward the gathered concubine wannabe’s. Donna looked shocked and said, “Mother! I didn’t know you were a sponsor. What about us?”

Patricia stopped and turned toward Donna for a moment before she said, “Of course not. You know how your Father is. My life would have been a living hell if he knew I was sponsor level and he wasn’t. No one knew my score. Now, what did you mean when you asked ‘what about’ you, dear?”

“Mother, Thomas and I are right here. We can go with you. You don’t need to pick just anyone.”

Patricia smiled and said, “Yes, dear. You might be able to go with me. You might want to go with me, but you won’t. You see, a concubine is basically a sex slave for their sponsor. I have no intention of letting your smarmy, sleazy ex boyfriend near me and I have no desire to have sex with my own child, even if she had a decent personality.”

Donna had all she could take. She was crying, her face was red and she screamed, “You Fucking Bitch,” before she raised her hands and lunged at her mother. There was another muted sizzle from the Marine’s stinger and Donna dropped to the floor near her father.

The Marine turned toward Thomas but he had a sickly smile on his face and was backing up, his hands held up, palm out near his shoulders. He said, “Hey, I’m out of this,” before he walked rather rapidly toward the group of concubine hopefuls.

All this time, the now naked Abby had been kneeling at Gary’s feet watching her family. Tears were running down her cheeks. A still angry Gary looked back at her and said, “Well?” Shakily she resumed her task and began blowing him. She wasn’t anywhere near the best he’d ever had but she had potential. Before he finished, he had her stop and said, “Okay, that’s enough. We used to get along okay and your scores seem adequate. Do you want to go with me?”

“Yes, please.”

Still trying to calm down, Gary said in a milder tone of voice, “Fine, come with me while we find more women. And bring your card please.”

Gary wandered over to the group of hopeful females and began checking cards. A dejected looking nude and embarrassed Abigail followed along behind him. From time to time, after asking several questions of a potential concubine, he would request she either blow him or let him fuck her. Twice he asked one of them to go down on Abby and once he told Abby to lick a potential concubine.

He spent several seconds looking over the CAP card of his latest interest before he said, “I like what I’ve seen on your card and what I’ve heard you say while we were talking. Now I need to see if we’re compatible in bed. Spread some of those clothes out and lay back.”

Patrice, the woman he was talking to, blushed and immediately bent to do as he asked. She quickly lay back, drew her knees up and spread them, tilting her noticeably lubricated pussy up for him. Gary lowered his trousers and worked his cock into her in three thrusts. She moaned while he did that and began meeting his thrusts. This time, Gary didn’t quit. He kept pounding into Patrice until they both reached the pinnacle at the same time and exploded into loud and satisfying orgasms.

Gary leaned down and kissed Patrice before he dismounted and used a blouse laying on the floor to wipe off his cock. After standing and fastening his trousers, Gary said, “That was pretty good. Do you want to be my concubine?”

Patrice smiled and said, “Yes, if you’ll take my children also.”

“Absolutely, if they’re under 14. How many and how old are they?”

“Only two. A girl that’s 9 and a seven year old boy.”

“Okay, you two. Come on. We need to find two more women as quickly as we can.”

“What are you looking for,” Patrice asked.

“High intelligence, slightly submissive, high libido women. No men. We also have to have enough in common for me to enjoy talking to them. I want more than a group of air headed fuck bunnies, but I absolutely do not want someone that wants to rule the roost.”

Patrice bit her lower lip for a moment then said, “I might know someone you should look at. I think I saw her and her husband a few minutes ago in the bar. Could we go over that way and see?”

“Sure, I’m open to suggestions. Lead on.”

There was a large group of people standing just inside the dining room beside the door to the bar. They found the woman Patrice was searching for standing there with a scowling man holding her arm. She was pulling against him slightly and looked terrified.

Patrice smiled and said, “There you are Trudy! I thought I saw you go into the bar a few minutes ago. This is Gary. He’s my new sponsor and is looking for two more. I told him about you and he wants to see your card.”

Trudy looked scared and said, “Oh, I, uh don’t think that’s a very good idea. Dick doesn’t want me to go.”

Gary looked at the man trying to pull Trudy back into the bar and turned to her before he said, “What do you want? He has nothing to say about you going. That’s all up to you and the potential sponsor. Now, if you’re interested let me see your card.”

Trudy looked at Gary then back at her husband before she tentatively pulled her card from her small clutch purse and started to hand it to Gary. Before Gary could take the card, Dick tried to take it from Trudy. The card ended up falling to the floor. Trudy quickly bent to pick it up and Dick roughly pulled her back causing her to fall.

Gary was starting toward Dick when once again there was a sizzling buzz and he, too fell to the floor. A large Marine glared at Gary and said, “What is it with you, sir? Are you trying to cause trouble? That’s the third one we’ve had to stun because of you.”

“I just seem to run into assholes I guess. I’m sorry,” he said to the Marine before he turned back to Trudy and continued, “Now, if you want to go, could I see your card please?”
