Chapter 34: Changes

The honeymoon for Sonya and her new family was wonderful and when it came to an end, they were all physically exhausted but very happy. On the second evening of their stay Sonya had activated the controls in the bedroom. The bed had started its slow rotation. The walls had come to life with a verity of holographic scenes from soothing scenes of breath taking natural beauty to wall to wall scenes of the sex act being performed in almost every conceivable position, soft soothing and then throbbing music with a hypnotic heavy drum beat had alternately poured from the speakers hidden throughout the room. Sonya had opened the bottle of pills that Redi had given her, taken one herself and given one to each member of her family. They were the same pills Redi had made for the party reformulated to add birth controls for the Silka. Once the pills had taken effect the four of them with the heightened sexual arousal and physical stamina had sex with each other over and over till the mid-morning hours of the next day. They only left the bed long enough to go to the rest room and then had fallen back in bed with their lovers. Finally, they had collapsed and slept until the next day to recover from exhaustion.

The days had been spent swimming, sometimes in skimpy bathing suits and sometimes totally nude, in the crystal clear water of the cove, to be followed by lounging in the sun on the deck. The robot chef prepared lavish meals for them and Sonya had found the well stocked liquor cabinet. Many of the ingredients Steve had needed to make the various liquors were not available but the robot was very resourceful and the beverages were very tasty and highly intoxicating. Sonya and her family had found out the hard way about over indulgence of these beverages and they had spent the following day with throbbing hangovers.

The days passed with swimming eating and sunning followed by nights of passionate lovemaking. At last the time of luxury had ended and they had returned to the community. They found that many changes had occurred during their absence. Sonya found out her cousin Vicki was pregnant and that two women were now sharing residence with them as well as sharing Aren. One of these women was also pregnant. The single men's quarters were empty and the women's quarters had only three women and one man. Tani was away somewhere and Tasha was in charge of the unit in her absence. Shawna had moved in with her new family in the compound and was very happily sharing their love.

They entered their new home and discovered that in their absence the robots had replaced the big bed with one that was even larger. One that would accommodate all four of them comfortably. Other small changes had taken place inside and they found their belongings had been moved into the new house and put away.

Construction on a new house in the Silka village was started and when it was completed Tarak, Xantara, Zalia, and Lavinia quietly and without ceremony moved in. The men and women's single quarters were vacant. There were no more singles in either the Silka village or the compound.

Tasha was glad to see Sonya and her lovers return to duty. Despite Tani's rigorous physical training routine it was like resting for Sonya, Elan, Shileea and Jordan after the wild sexual exercises they had been engaged in while away. They were content for a number of days just to fall into bed together and sleep at night.

Jake was busy designing the new pleasure palace and finally construction was started. First a barrier was constructed pushing the sea back. He had decided to construct the building even further from shore so that when the tide was in the building would be completely under water and when the tide was out only the top floor would be above water. The building was to be five stories tall. Because of the gentle slope of the shore this required that the structure be built almost a half mile out to sea from the high water mark on the shoreline. At first Jake had considered constructing the building in sections sinking it and pumping the water out but then he decided on the barrier moving the massive amount of water back until construction was completed. The building was constructed of a clear plastic like material reinforced by metal so the when complete one could stand inside and have an unobstructed view in any direction of the sea outside. A tunnel was constructed that went from just outside the living quarters on the compound to a terminal inside the new building. Two ten person cars that were connected and self guided traveled its length. At last the structure was completed and now it was time to fill the inside. Jake turned to the other members of the community for ideas and soon the structure began to fill with equipment, furniture and any thing no matter how wild of far fetched the idea was. When the building had been filled the access doors were closed and sealed. The barriers were removed and the sea was allowed to fill the cleared space once more. When it had reclaimed the area once more the only thing visible of the structure was the radio antenna that stuck from the ocean nearly a half mile from shore.
