Chapter 556

The Retreat

...”Approve of what?”

“That I approve of her, of course,” Diana said as she kissed her husband – really kissed him while squirming her ass on his cock. Then standing, she smiled that knowing smile. “Move it so it’s up under your belt. Your shirt is on the outside of your pants, so the part of your cock that sticks above your belt won’t show.” Then with a giggle, “If it weren’t so long, you wouldn’t have that problem.”

“You weren’t griping last night when I screwed you unconscious,” he teased as they started, arm in arm toward the back door.

“Do I really look eighteen?” she coyly asked.

“You had better stop the age regression before you get carded everywhere we go.”

“Everywhere? We don’t go anywhere, so how could I be carded?”

Jeff had a feeling he had just stepped in it, but he tried, anyway. “Well, we’ve circled both the Earth and the moon a few times, not to mention going to another planet.”

“That’s not what I mean, and you know it. And besides, I didn’t see a bouncer carding anyone at either place.”

“Smartass,” he teased. “We could go out to a nice restaurant.”

“An exceedingly intimate evening out with only the eighteen of us, don’t you think?” she said a bit too sarcastically. “Or... you could take your first wife for that romantic evening, sometime,” she said, but this time it was obvious that she was dead serious.

“Di,” he quietly said as he touched her arm to have her stop in the hallway.

“Not now,” she returned. “She’ll be here any minute.”

“Let her wait,” Jeff responded, his voice serious, “this is more important. Di, if I’ve ignored you, it was unintentional – very much so. Lover, I adore you. In my defense, it’s just that doing practically anything outside our grounds requires an escort and a lot of work for our Security people – and danger to my wives if they are the ones going.” When she started to respond, he touched her lips with his fingertips.

“You’re right, and I’ve avoided going practically anywhere with you and my other wives because of just what almost happened to Aiko.” His voice changed and he practically snarled, “Why is it that there is always someone wanting to harm us?”

“Jeff, I ... I guess I understand. I shouldn’t have brought it up, particularly now. Just forget what I said. I know why you haven’t taken me – all of us – anywhere other than a shopping expedition now and then, but we get tired of eating our own cooking. Look, I’m just spoiled. I have everything a woman could want, and yet I want more. It’s just me, I suppose. Anyway, we need to hurry and go greet your next wife.”

“No, Hon, we need to get this settled now, and Baby, please,” he stammered out, “I have enough wives, and with you upset...”

“Well, we’ll see. Besides, I’m not that upset. I only want some time for just the two of us.” With a glance toward the door, “Look, we can continue this conversation later. Now, let’s hurry, and, Baby ... I’m sorry I brought it up the way I did. You’re the most wonderful husband there ever was.”

He kissed her, long and hard, and only pulled back when they heard the inner door from the mudroom open.

“Oops,” Tosha said as she froze. “I shouldn’t have...”

Diana chuckled and motioned for Tosha to come on in. “Nonsense. I told you to come on inside when I invited you. My husband and I were just ... passing the time.”

“It looked like a very nice way to do it,” Tosha said very brightly as she walked up.

“I was acknowledging that I have been shirking my duties as a husband,” he said as he glanced at his wife who winked back at him.

“I have the most wonderful husband in the world, and all my sister-wives will tell you the same thing. And, lest you misunderstand, he never shirks his husbandly duties.”

That produced a deep blush from Tosha and Jeff. However, with a grin, Diana went on. “We do have a problem that has been haunting us for some time.” At Tosha’s raised eyebrow, Diana continued. “There seems always to be someone who wants to do us harm, so for Jeff and I to go out to eat and take in a movie, we have to inconvenience our Security people by having an escort, and not just a person or two, but many people.”

“But why would you think that’s an inconvenience? Tosha asked with a frown as they started on down the hall. “For one thing, that’s just one of the many things that we train for. Every single one on the force is a volunteer, and there is a waiting list. As I’m sure you know, we have to pass a very rigorous physical test in addition to the written one, and both of them are bears. Also, we have to qualify – with high scores – on many different weapons, not to mention the ongoing training. Only about ten percent pass both of the entrance tests. If we had wanted a cushy job, we wouldn’t have volunteered.

“As far as escorts are concerned, there is a team ready to go at a moment’s notice should you decide to go somewhere. Name the restaurant in Denver or Winter Park, and you can bet there is a plan already in place. Shopping malls – we have a plan for all of them – for both cities, and... we’re tested on those plans. Colonel Matthews’ Security is a cushy job, true enough, but if you aren’t a self-starter and pride yourself on being part of the best, this isn’t the job for you.”

“Oh, my,” the Clan Queen said as she looked up at her husband. Then with a raised eyebrow, “Baby?”

Not being stupid, “How about a night out, My Love?” he asked.

As she tried to hold back a giggle, “How very thoughtful of you. I graciously accept your kind invitation.”

“Speaking of nights out, I followed your instructions, Diana, and didn’t dress up.”

The Clan Queen smiled at the young Security Officer. “Those jeans look very nice on you, indeed. Besides, we’re just having our normal nightly meal, but Jeff and I thought you might like to share an evening with us. I think this is the first time I’ve seen you with your hair down. It’s longer than I thought and very pretty, indeed.”

“Thank you,” Tosha returned. “I would like for it to be as long as your beautiful hair, but it must be short enough to quickly go under a cap or be put in a ponytail to keep it out of the way when I’m training or going somewhere in a hurry.”

“And, thank you and the rest of our Security force, for all you do for us,” Diana said with a smile. And if you become one of my husband’s wives, you will be enhanced and will soon see a marked difference in your whole body, including your hair. It will be thicker and better behaved with its color seemingly intensified as well.

As they started on down the hallway, Jeff fell into step on Tosha’s left with Diana on her right. Tosha knew that she had responded to Diana’s comment, but with Jeff so close, she couldn’t remember exactly what she had said.

With Tosha between them, Diana couldn’t pinch her husband’s arm to warn him. Jeff, you try to act as if she’s just another woman to you, but you just let some of your pheromones slip. My nipples are rock hard, my pussy is getting wet, and ... I suspect the same thing is happening to Tosha. Better realize it and back off, My Love, or she’s going to embarrass you and amuse the heck out of me while she’s doing it.

Indeed, Tosha had just realized that her body seemed to be readying itself for sex. Oh, my. He’s walking right beside me. My pussy is wet and getting wetter, and my nipples are hard and so extended that they hurt pressed against my bra. Worse yet, I don’t have anything in my arms to hold in front of me to cover my breasts, and I know my nipples must be showing through this thin bra. Well, Diana’s were already showing from Jeff kissing her. She told me that the women in the Retreat only wore bras when they had visitors. But Jeff’s wives haven’t worn bras when I visited. Does that mean that they don’t consider me to be a visitor?

Diana’s voice brought Tosha’s thought processes back. “Since you weren’t scheduled to be off until an hour after our normal supper time, the other families have already eaten, but our immediate family, including Selina, is waiting for us. And before you say anything, we had much rather have it this way, since it gives us a chance to get to know you better.”

As they turned into the kitchen, the Clan Queen smiled at Tosha. “I hope you don’t mind, but we decided to eat in the kitchen. It just seems like a more intimate family meal that way. The bigger table there,” she said while motioning, “seats twenty, and so far, that’s big enough to seat all my husband’s wives,” she finished with a grin. “Of course, with seventeen wives and our Prime, there are only two vacancies left. Tonight, only one,” the Clan Queen said as she winked at her husband, then where Tosha couldn’t see, mouthed, “Pheromones.”

Jeff looked startled and mouthed back, “Oh, Shit.”

Diana turned to Tosha. “He gets embarrassed when I tease him about having a few wives.”

Tosha, again tearing her thoughts away from fantasizing what it would be like to lie with Jeff between her legs, realized that Diana was allowing her to be in a more intimate family setting with them. That allowed her to see more interaction between the Clan Queen and Colonel Matthews – Jeff, now that no one else from Security was around, she reminded herself. Diana was, indeed, far more intimate with him than Tosha had ever been allowed to see when she had associated with the Colonel’s first wife before. Is she trying to tell me something? I certainly hope so.

After the greetings, the women began bringing food to the table. Diana asked Tosha to sit, but, instead, she moved toward the food, thinking she should help rather than just sit and wait as a guest would be expected to do. Susan, almost seeming to read Tosha’s mind, motioned toward a big bowl on the counter which contained mashed potatoes, and the gravy boat sitting beside it. Tosha, amazed that someone hadn’t grabbed up the items yet, hurried over to get them. A moment later, she joined the other women as she put her food on the table.

“Sit by me,” Diana said, indicating the end seat on the near side of the table. As Tosha sat, Jeff assumed his seat at the head of the table. Tosha was now basically sitting between Jeff and his Clan Queen.

Nat asked if Tosha would like tea. At her smile and nod, the young wife set a glass of iced, sweet tea, complete with a lemon slice, by Tosha’s plate.

Why is Diana doing this? Tosha thought as she tried to remain calm. I’m almost certain that she has deliberately arranged for me to eat with Jeff and his immediate family, only – and she’s seated me within touching distance of him. At least I’ve calmed down some and I’m not thinking of raping him anymore. Oh, my, she thought as she realized that she really was that close to the man who made her heart speed up by just being anywhere near. I’m going to make a fool of myself; I just know I am. I’ll spill the gravy or knock over my tea, or do something stupid.

Without comment, they all joined hands, Tosha managing to react before anyone had to prompt her. When Jeff’s hand grasped hers, she could feel hers tremble and hoped he didn’t notice as he asked God to bless the food. Stunned that she was touching him, she must have held onto his hand a second too long, because he grinned at her as he disengaged his hand from hers. Get a grip; you’re acting like a schoolgirl, she scolded herself.
