Chapter 2

Joan had clients to see to Friday morning, despite the holiday, and was gone before Ken made it downstairs after his work out. So much for her taking time off, he thought. Both Ari and Jane joined him to practice, but Jane was moving a little slow this morning. The numerous welts on her body could have been the reason, but he suspected that the main reason was because Gary and Annette had teased the crap out of her. She'd been ridden hard and put away wet, as the saying goes, and was feeling the effects of orgasm denial.

Still, she and Ari were visibly improving their technique day by day. Ken wondered how long it would be before he was no longer comfortable teaching them.

Tina stumbled downstairs, somewhat bleary eyed while they were eating. She was looking a bit out of it this morning, and Ken could feel a lot of pent-up sexual energy in the girl. Masturbation just wasn't doing the trick anymore, as her mostly sleepless night attested to. The energy in the house was affecting her, but unlike Bill and Gary, she had no real way of releasing it. Ken winced inwardly and realized that something would have to be done; he just didn't know what that something would be.

She kissed everyone, starting with Ken, then moving to Jane and her sister. Tongue was involved, and Ari and Tina separated in shock as Ari's automatic acceptance of the kiss startled both of them as much as Tina's automatic offering. Ari felt a powerful pool of sexual energy in her sister, as had Jane and Ken, and was drawn to it. She was trembling as they both tried to ignore what had just happened. Tina was too shaken by the fact that she'd almost had an orgasm when she'd kissed Arianwen to do anything but focus on the refrigerator to get milk for her cereal.

Ken was seized by guilt as he examined the girl more closely. Things were worse than he'd thought, and he started to worry about what would happen if that energy wasn't tapped off in some way. Would a fantasy do it? he wondered. They tended to create a lot of energy, but he'd noticed that the person who had the fantasy was usually left with a surplus of sexual energy, despite the fact that there was a lot of energy collected.

"I have some errands to take care of this morning," he announced, "so I'll be gone for a while."

Others began mentioning their plans, as well. Eric and Sally were going to see Eric's dad, Gary had already left for the shop, and Genie had gone off to do something or other. Bill was at school working on something, which left Annette, Jane, Ari and Tina at loose ends.

They decided to go to the beach for the early part of the day, which made Ken worry just a bit about what would happen. Four hot, sexy women, three of whom were dedicated to a sex Goddess, were guaranteed to cause some kind of trouble on the beach. But he said nothing. They all had to start integrating themselves back into normal society, eventually. Plus, they wouldn't be there too long, since everyone was meeting back here for a quick dinner before tonight's fireworks.

Ken's appointment was with his doctor for a flight physical. They only had morning hours today, and he'd been lucky to get an appointment so soon. He was in the best shape of his life but, of course, there had to be paperwork to prove it.

"Ken, good to see you," said Dr. Allen, shaking his hand. They sat down, and the doctor looked at Ken's records, then up at Ken.

"From the looks of things, I'd say you've been working out. You've gained 20 pounds since the last time we talked... what, about eight months ago?"

"Yup," said Ken who really hadn't been paying attention to his weight. "I've been working out a bit. You know, some weight training, mountain biking, swimming." He didn't mention that he was in martial arts again. His doctor didn't know that he'd ever been in the arts, and he saw no reason to clue him in.

"Well, let's see how healthy you are, shall we?" smiled the other man.

After all the regular checks had been done, the man sat down with Ken and said, "Huh. There's no problem with you passing the flight physical. You're in amazingly good health. Better, by far, than the last time you were here. BP's down -- not that it was high to begin with -- your resting pulse is amazing and everything seems excellent." He paused and frowned a bit, then said, "In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd assume that I was examining a professional athlete. You really have been working out, haven't you?"

Ken nodded. Better to let the man come to his own conclusions, since he'd never believe the truth.

"I'll have Marsha come in and draw some blood, then we'll send you on your way. Should be a few weeks for the results."

"Is there anyway you could expedite that? I'd like to get into the air as soon as I can, and I don't know if they'll take me up until they have the physical."

"Check at the desk to see what your health plan covers. Most likely it won't cover rush service, but you never know."

It wasn't until Marsha, a large black woman with an infectious smile, had come it to draw blood that he started to worry. Was it possible that whatever Lea had done to him would show up in a blood test? What if she'd changed him in some fundamental way that could be picked up in a test? It wasn't likely that they'd discover he could do magick, or anything like that, but had his hormones changed in some way? He knew that he produced pheromones -- would those show up? What if they thought he was on some kind of drugs?

Marsha caught his mood caught his mood, but misinterpreted it. "Honey, doan tell me a big, strong man like you is afraid of a little needle!" Her conspiratory wink removed any sting that the comment might have caused. Her skill with the needle was such that he barely felt it enter.

They talked as she pulled the required gallon or so of blood, then he went to the front desk. The health insurance plan that Lenny had set up for the household was top of the line. There was no co-payment and the test results would be ready by Wednesday, despite the holiday.

On the drive back to the mansion, Ken realized that money really did make things possible in this country that the average person had no hope of accessing. He'd been brought up to believe that everyone in America was treated equally; now, he was realizing that some were far more equal than others. He couldn't believe how naÔve he'd been -- but that didn't mean he wasn't going to take advantage of his new status.

Once he was home, Ken sat down at the computer and installed the flight simulator software that he'd bought. While it couldn't give you the feel of an actual plane, it could teach you about instrumentation, tower chatter and many other aspects of piloting a small plane. He had every intention of just jumping in and playing with it, but made the mistake of starting on the manual. He quickly lost himself in the information on navigation, tower protocol and instrumentation and didn't realize how late it had gotten.

He was started out of his concentration when the garage door closed. He had a feeling that was like when you have an itch that's been ignored for too long, and it's gotten to the point where you absolutely have to scratch it. Except this feeling was a wash of sexual energy emanating from the four women who'd just arrived back at the house.

Jane and Ari came into the study, while Tina and Annette went upstairs. Jane, while pretty worked up, was somewhat amused, but Ari was a ball of stress. She flopped in a chair while Jane gracefully knelt on the rug.

"So," asked Ken, keeping his face very neutral, "how did everything go?"

Ari just snorted and rolled her eyes, looking for once like the teenager she was. Jane just smiled a bit and said, "It was certainly an interesting day."

"Oh? Do tell."

Before they'd gone out for the day, the ladies had had fun picking out which swimsuits they wanted to wear. Despite the fact that they rarely wore clothing around the house, they had an amazing variety of suits. Go figure.

Each had picked something that would show off their figures, and none of them were even remotely conservative. Tina's was the least revealing, and it showed a hell of a lot of skin.

They all piled into Jane's M3 and headed out for the day, a cooler filled with water, soda and snacks in the trunk. There was a lot of teasing and flirting among the girls, who included Tina, even though she wasn't feeling as great as she was pretending. The constant sexual frustration was leading to a lack of sleep and making the girl irritable. Being packed in the car with three very sexy woman, all of whom were producing a low level of pheromones, didn't help matters any.

The Circle had found that, no matter how hard they tried, only Ken was able to completely shut down the various sexual 'glamours' that they all naturally produced. The rest of them could throttle way back, but not turn it completely off. And Tina was crowded in a car with, not one, but two High Priestesses whose 'glamours' were far more powerful than a mere Priest's or Priestess'. The effects hit the frustrated teen so hard that her bikini bottoms were soaked through by the time the women reached the beach, and her nipples had been so hard for so long they ached. Which Tina found she liked, actually. The other women were well aware of her state, but didn't know what to do about it. Well, Jane knew what needed to be done, but understood it might be a long time coming.

The situation got better once they were at the beach. Tina was unable to understand how the other three women could possibly stand the freezing-cold water, while they wondered what the big deal was; the water was fine -- the warmest they'd felt in years. When they came back to the blankets to lay down, they were certainly the center of attention. Numerous hopefuls gathered as close as they dared to the women; but none approached, surprisingly.

"Tina," said Jane, "you're going to burn."

Tina, who'd been drifting in a warm sea of erotic thoughts while gently pushing her mons into the towel covered sand, stirred and looked at her bleary eyed. "Huh?"

"You're going to burn dear. You should put some lotion on."

"I'll be fine. Ari always burns before me, and she's not wearing any," murmured the girl, her eyes closing again.

Arianwen didn't burn any more. Neither did anyone else in the Circle. But there was no way to tell Tina that, so Ari said, "I'm going to put some on now."

She began slathering the liquid over her body. Tina's breathing increased as she watched her sister through slitted eyes. Her pussy clenched, and lust roared through her body. Both Annette and Jane reacted to it, but Ari managed to ignore her sister's desire. Mostly. But her pierced nipples were clearly visible through her thin bikini top, as were Annette's and Jane's. That garnered a lot of attention from the people near them.

When she finished, Tina reluctantly rolled over and took the tube from Ari's hand. A sort of electric shock passed through her hand when her fingers brushed her sister's, and Tina let out a small moan. She actually had a small orgasm. All three women were absorbing the energy that Tina was throwing off, but that did nothing to relieve the girl of her frustration and need. She saw the dark material of her bottoms were so wet between her legs that it looked like she'd peed herself.

The rest of the time passed in a haze for Tina, a haze of warm, erotic thoughts and sexual images. She wondered what would happen if she just grabbed her sister's hair, bent her head back and kissed her. Jane read the fantasies the girl was having but was reluctant to enter them. She knew what Tina really wanted and didn't want to spoil anything for the girl.

Just before they got in the car to come home, Ari pulled Jane aside.

"We should stop and get some bread," she said.

Jane knew immediately what Ari was hinting at. She wanted Tina to meet Karen. They were close to the same age, and Karen was a little sex machine. Jane thought getting those two together would be a lot of fun. Eventually. But not yet.

"I don't think that'd be a good idea," said Jane.

"What? That's crazy! They'd never be able to resist each other. I can tell Tina's a little agitated, and she could work some of that off with Karen."

A little agitated? thought Jane. Aloud, she said, "They are still both normal teenagers, despite the fact that Karen has had sex with us. I don't think that Tina will go for that for her first time."

"Can we try it anyway?" asked Ari.

The desperate tone of her voice made Jane suspect that perhaps Ari wasn't as oblivious of her sister's wants as she'd thought. Against her better judgment, Jane nodded.

Not only did the experiment go nowhere, Tina ended up even more frustrated. She and Karen were cordial, but it ended up somewhat forced on Tina's part when it became apparent that Karen was very interested in, and knew, the other women. It fact, Tina was willing to bet they all knew all sorts of things about each other. She was getting tired of being excluded, and that was adding to her frustration and irritability.

Ken was not happy at this turn of events, and Arianwen was frustrated, as well. Jane, who'd bothered to actually acknowledge what Tina wanted, was amused by their antics, but not happy that Tina was suffering. Unlike her, Tina didn't enjoy it.

Apparently, Lea wasn't amused at all.

"Kenneth, I do not condone actual torture," was Her opening statement when She appeared in the study.

Ari almost jumped out of her skin, a bad sign since no one in the Circle should have been startled by Lea's appearance, especially not a High Priestess.

"And you, Arianwen, are being completely unreasonable," the Goddess continued.

Ari's eyes filled with tears, her stress rapidly turning to misery.

"I... I'm sorry Mistress, but I don't know what to do!" she said, tears dripping down her face.

Lea sat down next to Ari and pulled her into Her lap as the girl sobbed. She soothed her with Her hands, but was firm in Her tone as She said, "Arianwen, you must realize that there are many rules that no longer apply to you. Embrace the changes, and free yourself."

Ken felt relief. Lea was giving Arianwen an out with the incest thing.

"And you, Kenneth, I am most displeased with," Lea said, looking at him.

Ken stared at Her in surprise.

"You have neglected to take into account the toll this is taking on Tina," said Lea. "She cannot remain here unless you find a way to release the energy that is continuing to build up in her. It's not healthy for her and could cause considerable harm."

"I don't understand," said Ken. "How could she be building up energy?"

"You are all constantly bombarding her with it. Much gets absorbed by the Circle and transferred to me, which is the point of all this. But Tina is exposed to a great deal of energy, and she has no outlet. Masturbation won't give her the release she needs. Someone from the Circle must help her."

"Is there some way we can drain the energy from her?" asked Ken.

Lea just looked at him.

"Besides that, Lea."

"Of course! But it is the difference between giving birth and having a physician cut the baby from the mother. Why would you want to do something so difficult, when you could just take the girl as a lover and be done with it?"
