Chapter 13: Change

On Monday morning, I awoke with my wife beside me. Her head was lying on my shoulder and an arm was draped over my chest. I lay there for several minutes enjoying the closeness and intimacy. I thought about all of the changes that have happened over the last few weeks.

My wife and I have reunited as lovers and partners. We were caught naked in the kitchen by our daughter and that led to a ‘no clothes zone.’ We met the neighbors behind our house and the neighbors to the left of us. We formed a new polyamorous group. I am no longer a Dom for two sexual submissives. Our daughter turned fifteen and was granted limited membership into our poly group. I received a huge promotion at work and we added a fourth person to our family. We had a wonderful block party with our new neighbors to the right of us and are considering adding their family to our poly family.

I smelled coffee brewing in the kitchen. Ann was still asleep at my side so I deduced that Austin must be up. I was surprised to see our daughter, Liz, preparing breakfast for the family. “And just what is my beautiful, naked daughter doing up so early in the morning?”

“Dad, you and Mom have done so much for me, I thought it would be nice to show you both how much I appreciate it.”

I gave Liz a hug and moved my head to give her a kiss on the cheek. Liz reacted by moving her head and the kiss landed on her lips. I jerked back, staring at my daughter. She smiled, put her hand behind my head, and pulled me back to her lips. Her tongue wedged between my lips and entered my mouth. I hugged her tighter until our bodies were in full embrace.

When the kiss ended, I asked her, “What in the world has gotten into you this morning?”

My daughter answered, “Nothing yet but I hope something will get into me soon.”

“Liz, honey, don’t you think you are still a little young to be having those kinds of thoughts?”

“Daddy, if we still lived in Santa Fe, I would be considered to be a woman now that I am fifteen.”

“Well, we aren’t living in New Mexico and I am your father.”

“Yes, you are my father. And Mom is my mother. It is her duty to teach me how to be a woman and it is your duty to make me a woman!”

Without my knowledge, Ann and Austin had joined us in the kitchen. My wife said, “Eddie, your daughter has a point.” Austin added, “And it looks to me that Ed has a very big point right now that needs taking care of.”

“Okay ladies, enough is enough. A man can only resist temptation for so long when confronted by three beautiful, naked women. Give me a break and we can discuss this later.”

All three women pouted but did let up on the full court press that they were throwing my way.

As we ate breakfast, I told the ladies that I didn’t have anything pressing at work this week. I was going to get to know each of the departments so that I could start making plans for any needed changes.

Ann said that she and Martha were going to take the girls to school and stay there for a while to talk with some of the teachers and staff.

Austin said that she would be at the Quigley house to learn what Carol had in mind for her as the new sex surrogate.

We all agreed that we would get together this evening and discuss our day’s activities.

When I got to the casino, I met with the General Manager and told him about the plan I had devised for the next two weeks. Jerry not only agreed with my plan, but suggested that he might follow in my footsteps and do the same thing that I planned to do.

Jerry did tell me that I would need to choose a secretary sometime soon. I went to Patty Birdsong’s office and asked her if we had anyone currently on staff who would be able to fill the role of an executive secretary. Patty told me she had the perfect candidate and would set up an appointment for me to meet her at 1pm today.

My next stop was Wardrobe. I told Clarisse about my plan. She also said that she thought my plan was wonderful. “I have never heard of any senior manager doing what you want to do, but I am more than happy to help you out.”

She took more measurements than I thought were needed and I had to will my cock to stay soft when she measured the inseam of my pants. In less than ten minutes she returned with bags marked by department. She also provided me with a box of hangers.

I called Larry in Maintenance when I returned to my office. Fifteen minutes later I had a large cabinet installed and ready for use. I spent the next hour hanging up uniforms. My plan for the next two weeks was to spend at least one day working as a regular employee in each of the departments that I supervised.

I knew by experience that managers and supervisors would tell me what they thought I wanted to hear instead of what was really happening. By working alongside the regular staff, I would hear what was really happening and get ideas on how I could improve the morale and efficiency of the staff.

At noon, I called home but no one answered. I didn’t leave a message since I knew that we would be discussing the day’s activities tonight.

A few minutes before one, my phone rang. It was Patty telling me that my appointment had arrived. I told her I would meet the candidate in her office.

I was stunned to see Connie MacDonald sitting in front of Patty.

“Connie, what in hell are you doing here?”

Connie turned to me and said, “Patty called me this morning and told me you were looking for a secretary and asked me if I would consider applying. After what my husband told me when I gave him your two word answer, he told me more about you. He also said that if I was ever offered the opportunity to work directly under you that I should strip naked and tell you that I would do whatever you wanted.

“I don’t think it would be appropriate to strip naked right now, but I would like to work for you.”

“Eddie, I told you I would find the perfect secretary for you and I think Connie just proved that. Hell, when you first asked me to find someone to be your secretary, I thought about stripping naked and asking you to pick me.”

I didn’t know how true everything said was, but I knew enough not to ask. However, I did ask how soon Connie could start.

Connie looked at Patty and Patty said, “Is tomorrow morning soon enough? I need to do some paperwork before she becomes your secretary but I should be able to get everything done this afternoon.”

Connie spent the rest of the day with me as I outlined her duties and responsibilities. At 4:30, Patty came to my office with a bundle of papers for Connie to sign.

When Connie looked at one of the documents she nearly fainted. Regaining her composure, she started hugging Patty. I looked at Patty with my head cocked to one side. Patty told me that Connie just found out what she was going to be paid as my executive secretary.

I closed my office door at 5pm and headed home.

I stopped at Taco Bell and picked up burritos, both hard and soft tacos, and four Nacho Bell Grandes.

The women were in the living room waiting for me to arrive. I could tell by the look on their faces and their body language that they each had much to tell about today’s activities.

Ann was the first to speak. “Eddie, Martha and I were shocked by what we saw and heard today. It is even worse than what Joan told us yesterday.

“We visited some of the classrooms and found that most of the kids were bored and listless. There was no interaction between the students and teachers. We talked to several of the teachers this morning and found out that they were instructed to ‘dumb down’ their presentations to the level of the least educated student in the class. The kids who want to learn are not being given an opportunity to learn at a higher level.

“And it is going to get worse. The school district is going to do away with grades all together. It will simply be a pass/fail grading structure. And the teachers we talked to told us that they have already been given orders that no child would fail.

“Three of Liz and Gracie’s teachers have already turned in the paperwork and will be leaving the school at the end of the semester.

“We can’t keep sending our daughters to a school that doesn’t care if the students learn or not. Martha and I both agree that home schooling would be a better alternative than sending them to a public school.”

I trusted my wife and told her that we needed to talk to Matt and Joan as soon as possible.

Austin had better news. “I spent the day with John and Carol and they told me their plans. John is going to resign from Goodyear and become the office manager for Carol’s counseling business. Carol is going to specialize in counseling couples and singles who have little or no sexual experience, people who have anxiety or fear specifically about sex and intimacy, and people who struggle with body acceptance.

“John and Carol want to give their clients a safe space to explore and practice intimacy and sex in a structured environment.

“Instead of being a sex surrogate, I will be a surrogate partner. Sometimes there are sensual and sexual things involved in being a surrogate partner, but the goal is healing — not necessarily sexual release or pleasure.

“A surrogate partner doesn’t need academic or clinical training in psychology. It is the perfect job for me. Even John will be a surrogate partner when he is needed.

“Carol said it best when she said that Masters and Johnson, the most widely accepted experts in the field, believed that people could only learn about sexual intimacy by experiencing it.”

I told Austin that I was proud of her and I knew that she would make the best surrogate partner that anyone could ever ask for.

“Daddy, I don’t have as much to say as Mom did or Austin.

“Both Gracie and I had a chance to talk with Mark and Jackie while we were at the movie yesterday and we both agree that we would like to be home schooled like they are. And if given the opportunity, we would like to be home schooled with them.

“And I especially agree with my big sister’s comment about how people can only learn about sexual intimacy by experiencing it. And Daddy, I want you to be my surrogate partner and teach me about sexual release and pleasure.”

I was saved from having to answer my daughter when the phone rang.

“Honey, that was Rolf on the phone. It seems that he is just as upset as I am about what you and Martha saw at school today. They are coming over in a few minutes to discuss options with us.”

The women were cleaning up the remnants of dinner. I was thinking about the home schooling option when I snapped to the idea that if we did opt for home schooling it could solve two problems at the same time.

Rolf, Martha, and Gracie deposited the clothes in the wicker baskets before sitting together on one of the couches.

Rolf began the discussion by saying, “I was skeptical about what Joan said last Friday about the public school system. After my wife and Ann visited the school today and saw for themselves how screwed up public education has become, I realized that Joan was telling us the truth.
