Episode 64: CoUNTdOWN

7:10 pm! The Dive Inn Hotel, Caretaker, South Carolina.

Clinton Biles was snoring like his nickname, a bear. Having been up all day and night between working at Harbinger Shoals cutting trees then becoming security guard. He was worn the fuck out. Peace and quiet for once, he hit the Queen size bed he called home and was out like a light. More apt, out like the dead body Dawn Bearpaw and Midnight Amador happened upon.

Able to drive his own car for once made life so much easier. His wife Mindy was off running errands all day with his new lover Britney Saunders. Yes, they knew and approved of one another. Having knocked out around 3:00 in the afternoon under the air conditioning it was instant Nirvana. Four hours later he heard the door open and found his lovely ladies hovering over him. “Rise and shine! You’re relocating, Mister Bear.” Mindy crawled into bed and straddled her husband’s hips.

“I need sleep.” He mumbled with his eyes shut.

Next to the bed stood Britney Saunders cuffed to young Alexis Roster, her free hand covering the girl’s eyes. With Clinton nude atop his covers there was a whole lot of hairy real estate to see. Not for the nympho! Ali surprisingly behaved and actually turned her back to him the best she could. Of course, there was a huge mirror on the wall to see his reflection in. Mostly his legs and scrotum with Mindy’s big ass on top. Ah, well!

“Moving van is ETA fifteen minutes. I paid the furniture store more than the furnishings are worth to bring them in tonight from Cordoba. You have a brand-new King-size bed to hibernate on Bear.”

“Happy with my Queen.”

“Aww! As I sit on his throne.” Mindy giggled then stretched out over him to kiss her man. “Maybe we should just let him rest Brit. He has had a rough 24-hours.”

“You’re right! The delivery guys can haul everything in. The only problem I have is Dolan made me promise not to take Ali’s cuffs off of either you or I.”

“We could cuff her to Bear.” Mindy snickered!

“Oh, yeah, that would go over well. You and I have enough to contend with adding Lakshmi to his harem.”

“Hey! I have Ollie.”

“You had the pizza guy last night too. We are not trusting you alone.” Bad enough she sucker-punched the ladies at the furniture store, the engaged salesman and sales lady playing with Alexis in the restroom right under Brit and Mindy’s noses. Evil was everywhere and Ali was the Devil’s daughter. Worship me Motherfuckers! That they did.

“And her neighbor, and his son.”

“Say what?” Clinton revived and lifted his head groggily. “Just since the Rez? Kid, you’re insatiable.”

“Hey! My future stepmom did the dad.”

“Stepmom?” He shook his head to clear the cobwebs. “CC get engaged?”

“Nooo!” Mindy rolled her eyes! “Ali is just predicting the future.”

“Fuck it! Get on up off me, Mindy Lou.” He took his pillow from behind his head to mask his nudity once Mindy crawled away. Looking over at Ali’s back he stood up and ditched the pillow in order to put on his pants. Forgetting the mirror, he heard Alexis praise the Bear God!

“How do you two fuck that? I knew he cut down trees for a living, but he brought a trunk home with him.”

Mindy realizing his reflection stepped in front of Clinton blocking her view. “Behave! That goes in my Bearcave!”

“I will if you add, or I’ll have Bear paddle your ass.” She razzed Mindy! “I’d fucking love that.”

“Never gonna happen!” Clinton growled, pants up and zipped. “Either, or!”

“I’m joking! Geez! Tell him what else you bought him Brit.”

“Will you shut up already! Can’t I surprise my man?”

“Her man!” She pointed at Mindy. “I like how you share each other. Did I tell you Oliver shared me with his whole biker club? The LEZistance too! Girls aren’t so bad but I prefer big bad boys ... like Clinton.”

“Yeah, let’s just brag about a gangbang and being chained up in an oil change stall, behind a hidden door.” Brit frowned! “I think you should roommate with my mom in the loony bin.”

“I wonder how Chantele is settling in?” Mindy dared to ask.

“I’m certain she’s screaming her head off now that they’ve probably burned her fur coat and given her a bath.”

“Fancy new strait jacket!” Clinton recalled her last bath at the car wash as he put on a t-shirt. “What did you buy me?” Cheesy grin out of nowhere!

“A razor for your Harley ... I mean hairy chest.” Ali turned back to face them then palmed her mouth. “Oops!”

“Wait! What? You didn’t let me pick out my own bike?”

“I really hate you! I say we gag her and lock her up at Daddy’s jail until we get unloaded and set up. We got a text from that ShadowBitch that works with Opal saying Nick paid to get my power and water turned on for dealing with what Opal did to us.”

“Jails full remember. Nick is locked up overnight.” Clinton combed his hair in the mirror then sat down on the bed to put his boots on. “He has Midnight and Bearpaw in his cell with him I hear. That Opal is across the hall in the cell your mom yanked the wall down on.”

“Serves her right! Man, I really liked her until that doping us stunt.” Mindy sighed!

“What kind of Harley did you get me?” He grew curious. “What if I don’t like it?”

“Gift horse in the mouth?” Alexis opened her jaw wide and teased Clinton. “I’ll take that horse.”

“Gimme a sock to stuff in her yap.” Brit told Clinton. He had a better idea. His dirty boxers on the carpet were picked up and balled in his fist. Taunting her with them she shrieked, laughing as he tried to shove them in her face. She nearly twisted Brit’s shoulder trying to evade the Grizzly. All calm now Mindy took out her cell and showed Clinton a photo from the Harley dealership. Mindy was stretched out on the bike posing like a model.

“I know your tastes. Green is your favorite color.”

“Fatboy!”

“For a fat girl!” Mindy snickered! “Did I pick the right one?”

“You did good! Thanks, Brit.” He pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. “Buyer gets the first ride. When do I get it?”

“It’s at the house now. I paid the dealership to deliver it just like I did the furniture store. We drove by the house just before here so it’s in the driveway. They even filled the gas tank for you.”

“Fantastic!” He rubbed his palms together. “Let’s do this. I have to be back at the Shoals by 3:00 AM!”

“Shadow even bought us Korean food. It was on the front porch waiting. I took it inside, so nobody stole it.” No neighbors on that dead end street so it was probably safe unless critters got to it.

“Nick’s hacker buddy is alright.” Mindy smiled! “It’s weird but I like her.” A ping on her cell which was still in her hand Mindy looked at a text that said. “So, I’m weird now! LOL! Bite me fat ass. Sexy ass, but again I like bigguns!” Mindy busted up then showed the others. “I think we’re being eavesdropped on.”

“Nothing better to do until Nicky needs me. I should have gotten a side car for that Harley so you two skanks could both ride with Gentle Ben.” Even Alexis laughed at ShadowBitch, her humor was too funny. “This text is a secure wavelength I’m always live if you need me. Any friends of the boss are righteous in my book. Well, most of them. I won’t even go near the Black Ops Boys. Just the Black Ops Girl! Opie’s my bestie! Give her a chance.”

“We will.” Mindy spoke for everyone, even if Brit and Clinton cocked a brow. “Chime in anytime, Shadow.”

“Thanks, Biggun!” Chuckling, Mindy took an ass selfie and sent it to the text. That resulted in a, “WOOOOHOOOO! Moon over Miami!” A dancing emoji then a mooning emoji made the group grin. “I’ll leave you to the unpacking. Sorry I can’t see the action. My drone is at the jail on charge. I could fly it out to the house, but Nicky might need me. Have fun all!”

“BYEEEE!” A unified effort of cheery roommates. Bear opened the cave entrance and led his clan astray. Outside, he even picked Ali up and tossed her over his shoulder, which meant Brit had to walk behind him to keep up with her hand in the air. Alexis was having a ball. Brit now knew what a side car on the Harley might be like.

Londale, South Carolina! The bar called LOADED! All caps! Like a gun poppin’ caps in ya! Owned by a retired Marine.

“Why are you on your knees?”

William Gullivant peered down at the gorgeous bartender of Arabic decent. Nova Khar-Issawi even had her head lowered as if respect. Where did she learn all of this submissive stuff? “Forgive me, Sir Will! I approach you out of curiosity. If I disrespect, you I will get dressed and go.”

“You’re not disrespecting me. I guess you’re just catching me off guard. Why would you ... you don’t even know me.”

“I sense your sadness, Sir. I only wish to make you happy.”

“Happy, how?” He got hard immediately. Although, he found himself reluctant to get too expectant due to her boss Winston Richards seeming to keep his eye on her at all times. “Don’t answer that.”

Against his brewing desires to be dominant he crouched down in front of her and reached in to lift her chin. “Look at me.” Eyelids open her eyes danced with allure. “Wow! Eyes like that can steal a man’s soul.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

“Let’s stand up and get you dressed before anyone comes out. Especially your boss, he looks like he could flip a car over.” Helping her up they faced one another under a canopy light. “So, you like what you see I take it.” He then picked her dress up from the concrete and handed it to her. She pouted at having to get dressed.

“Yes! Very much, Sir.”

“Was I that obvious when I first looked at you? You’re on fire. But I guess your name tells all. Nova is an exploding sun.” That made her smile. “I found you beautiful at first sight.”

“You honor me, Sir. How might I keep your attention? I would willingly do anything to prove myself worthy of you.”

“As in be my girl?”

“If I might be considered.”

“I need to be honest with you. I have a girlfriend, well, a slave.”

“Perhaps I may learn from her.”

“Uh? Rather not!” He knew Veronica still had a wild side he was fighting to tame.

“I mean ... I don’t know what I mean. I love Veronica and she’s working at being my slave, she’s new to this too. But I won’t lie to you, I could definitely see myself being with you.” That made her blush. “I’m the boss, so V ... Veronica, I call her V, knows I do who and what I want. But I don’t want to feel like I’m using you.” Dumb! A master uses his slaves! “Unless you want to be used.” Better, if not asking rather than insisting. Oh, Nick needed to punch you in the jaw for that.

“NO! GODDAMMIT!” He circled in step growling at his own mixed evolution. Back to facing her he reached up and grabbed her neckline in both hands and just kissed her. Showing strength in his grip she melted into his controlled presence. Hearing the door open he quickly released her just in case, so it didn’t appear as if he was assaulting her. A young couple leaving smiled at them and quickly moved on into the parking lot.

“You excite me, Sir.” Nova took the risk. “I am at your service, should you wish me to be.”

“So, tempted! Didn’t I hear something about you going to work for Albert Roster?”

“Yes! Within the week, I think. I will be living with him.” Wet thinking about it. Old or not she was infatuated slightly. Mostly due to the T16R355 that made her crave the man’s affections. No longer a virgin by her own touch she now begged for something real. “Working at his antique store.”

“Perfect! I’ll stop by and see you as often as I can. That is if Albert doesn’t prevent me from doing that.”

“I am certain he will be as much of a guardian as Winston. I do wish a life of...”

“Your own?”

“Yes and no! I want to belong. To be ... like you, I am confused. I have only recently lost my virginity. Not to another, but to myself. I have yet to be with a man.”

“And you were hoping I’d be your first.” Perhaps Albert she thought, a recollection of being in bed with him, but abused by Opal’s drug influence tormented her hormones. Her lust was making her fidgety, trembling at Will’s returned grip over her throat.

“If that is what you expect of me, Sir.”

“Not tonight! You’re still on duty, right?”

“Yes! Until we close at 2:00 AM.”

“I can’t stay that late. Midnight... “ He pondered his ward Miss Amador, “ ... I have a busy day tomorrow.” Presumably handling Nick’s whore another day at least. “How about I help you move to Albert’s?”

“I own nothing. A bag of clothing. Photos of my mother.”

“Yeah, I guess you might not need a whole lot moving in with Al. Do you have a cellphone?”

“No, Sir!” He released her, again the door opening up. This time it was the Heavy-Feather brothers. Gently drunk they opted to head back to the Rez before camping out in the parking lot or in some ditch. Nodding at Will, Calvin glared at Nova. A squeeze to the girl’s shoulder he said “Goodnight!” Oliver seemed quiet and merely nodded.

“I must get back. Winston will be upset with me.”

“You go on in first. I’ll follow a few minutes later so it doesn’t look bad. We’ll talk again after you move to Caretaker. I promise.”

“I will look forward to it.” He did open the door for her. After she entered, he let the door go and had a fit. Why was he being such a gentleman. “GODDAMMIT!” Round two! Worst master ever! Controlling his temperament William looked at his cell and against his better judgment called Veronica. No answer he began to worry.

“No way is she asleep. It’s too early.”

Nope! Bawling her eyes out locked in the she shed at Tilly Cooper’s house. Her cellphone screen lit up the guardian gnome on the back porch. Call waiting!

The Santee Reservation aka the REZ.

“I’m usually pretty ballsy, Crimmy, but I’m kind of afraid to meet your dad.”

Crimson Merrick drove her girlfriends sleek red Jaguar through the streets of REZ town. Eyes were definitely looking at the chrome wheels. “More than having your car stolen and chopped up?” Crimson waved at literally everyone even in the dim lighting of nightlights. “I’m saying hello to prevent that. A Merrick driving this ride keeps it in the driveway.”

“That’s a relief. I’d hate to have to make them poorer than they already are for stealing KitKat here. Red wrapper on the candy bars, Jaguar is a kitty. You get the idea.”

“That’s cute. So are you.” Crimson blew her blonde tomcat, tomboy, all girl, a kiss. “And I’ll save you from daddy. He’s weirdly supportive of us. I honestly thought he’d scalp his own, especially after what he’s been doing to Mikaela. I resisted telling you this, but dad and Mikki are going incest on me.”

“Wow! Maybe that’s why he isn’t against you and I as a couple. He’s in the wrong but even though you and I are in the right, to some folks it’s just as taboo.”

“Could be! I think Dr. Freak warped daddy’s mind. It was Erika who brought Mikki into daddy’s bed. Now it’s almost daily I think, but again, it’s only been a few days since it started. It could blow over. Daddy even removed my mom’s portrait he had over his bed, so she didn’t have to see him tap their daughter. I really stress that someday he might change his mind and try bedding me down too. I am his favorite daughter. Hopefully, our maid Sasha keeps him entertained enough to not picture me. Dr. Freak too! I like the Doc, but she spooks me a little. She’s so freaking out there.”

“We’re in this together, Crimmy. I’ll go down fighting for you.”

“Aww!”

“Is Sasha hot? I want to know before I go down for you.” That made Crimson swat her lover’s arm. “I’m teasing!”

“No you’re not. Even I think Sasha is hot. We went to school together. I might have had a tiny girl crush on her many moons ago. Even worse, daddy only lets her wear an apron in the house. That’s only when cooking and cleaning. Otherwise, its high heels and eye shadow.”

“Woohoo! Do you have one of those cute little serving bells you ring to get cervixed--er--serviced, I mean service.” Another swat, the girls laughed it off until reaching the gates to Merrick Manor, the largest house on the Rez. Prime property and surrounded by a 12-foot-tall fence with cameras everywhere. Jasmine knew that because she often tapped into those to watch pretty Miss Crimson swim in their massive in-ground pool.

“We’re here! Hold onto your baseball cap we’re going in.”

Turning in she punched a code into the gate box and the rotary barrier rolled to the left allowing entry. Driving through it closed back up. “There’s Mikki. She’s going to the club.” Jasmine easily noticed the hot older sister by a few months wearing a short bright yellow stretchy dress, her darkest of brown hair pinned off to her left profile while the other flowed beautifully. “Go ahead and whistle I know you’ve watched her as much as me over the last year. You had better have watched me more Bitch.”

“All you Crimmy. Except when Mikki Mouse skinny dips. You always wore a bikini.”

Tooting her horn Mikaela paused at getting into her car and flared her eyes at the red Jag. Parking next to her, Crimson shut off KitKat just as Mikki stepped around to meet her.

“Hey! Nice ride! I want one.”

“Hop on!” Jasmine patted her lap. “I mean in!” A tongue razz toward Crimson faced a sneer. “Stop scalping me already! I’m having fun. Hey, Mikki, I’m Jasmine.”

“So, I’ve heard. So, you’re a dike now?” Mikki rubbed it in playfully but did pat Jasmine on the shoulder to confirm that she was teasing.

“So, you’re the new go to Daddy’s girl?”

FIGHT! The girls loved one another, giggled and hugged once Crimson left the car. Jasmine not to be left out hurriedly ran around the bumper and joined in their hug. In her case she patted both of the Merrick butts. Mikki of course with no panties on felt the pat a tad too close to paradise. Crimson in her jeans barely felt it. Responding as one, the Merrick girls took Jasmine to the car’s fender well and tickled her. Laughing hysterically Jasmine went full on heavenly angel, call of the wild.

“Take me! Take me!” A loudspeaker along the fence line crackled and a male dominant voice was heard to say, “That will be quite enough. You know where you should be Mikaela.”

“I’m going daddy. Don’t be a fuddy duddy! This could be my new sister-in-law.” Oh, that made Crimson cringe. Jasmine looking at the camera waved, “HI, DAD!” Now Mikki decided to run for her car. Crimson clamped her girlfriend’s mouth.

“Relax! I’m not offended by her. Bring her inside and grab a bite. Sasha made spaghetti. I have to take a call, but I’ll find you both shortly.”

“BYE, DAD!” Jasmine yelled as Crimson removed her palm.

“Good impression! Stupid cunt!” Crimson giggled and kissed her girl. Hand in hand they strolled into the house. Once within the front door Jasmine took a hard look around at all of the fancy decor. Photos on the wall commemorating a once proud tribe throughout the generations adorned the walls. A huge painting up over the fireplace of a happy couple looked down at the rest of the world.

“Family?”

“My grandparents! Dad’s mom and dad. I’ll introduce you to mom later, thanks to Dr. Freak mom got pushed out and locked in the attic.” Crimson pouted! “Remember I said she used to be over dad’s ... their bed? Well, I guess daddy felt badly letting her watch him fuck other women. Erika had an interesting point now that I think about it. That would be kind of shameful to do that.”

“Not like your daddy hasn’t shamed his family before.” Jasmine whispered faintly and held Crimson’s hand tighter to ensure she was not putting her down. Crimson understood!
