Chapter 83

Finally my wives came out of the house area and greeted me and welcomed me home. Barbara said, “Bob, I guess I am going to have to stop you from going on any more trips if you keep bringing back new women for us. But I forgive you this time as Melody is such a beautiful girl both inside and out. She really loves you and we love her too. And what is this I hear about you removing some parasite from Carmaletta, that was causing her bitchiness?”

“I’m sure Carmaletta has told you everything, yes she was very sick and she really went off on me and Melody. I did not like it and I sent her back to her husband and he found the parasite. He begged me to see if I could fix her. I did, so no big deal; I saw something that needed fixing and I fixed it, so what?”

“Now everyone can see why you are so lovable. Come we have some time to catch up on a few of your chores. We have moved you into one of the headmen’s quarters and you have some very horny wives to take care of. So let’s go first and the rest can follow later.

Barbara led me to an unoccupied headman’s room and then took a wooden tee thing with a hide screwed to the top wood rail of the tee. She then had me help her to place the tee at the top of the doorway and it effectively closed off the door, thus giving us some privacy. I saw immediately the advantage of this type of arrangement. I would see about placing a hide for each doorway in the headmen’s area and put a hook so you could open the hide and show you were welcome for visitors and closed, it meant no visitors. If we had enough, we could do all of the occupied rooms that way.

Once closed in, we showered and played around. I did get to have Barbara hang onto the wall as I entered her from the rear and it was a fast and furious fuck, both of us letting off a little steam to take the edge off of our horniness. We adjourned to the bed and made slow and sweet love to each other. A few minutes after we finished, Barb got up and dressed and said, “Stay where you are. Marlit will be next, so rest up some.”

I lay there contemplating my life. I was a 67, no a 68 year old man in a 25year old body, with mental powers of; telepathy, telekinesis, mind control, far seeking, and mental surgery, to mention but a few of the vast powers I have attained. I have nine, soon to be ten wives; I have a community of some 250 souls whom I lead, and in many ways control. I have brought together 5 tribes of people, 3 Cro-Magnon and 2 Neanderthal, and turned them into a cohesive family of sorts, with me as the titular head. I have instigated a ranching/farm environment keeping horses, cattle (aurochs), and deer in a pasture. I have started a dairy farm, milking the auroch and keeping their milk for butter, cheese (maybe later), and of course milk to drink. I had our people harvest grasses for hay for the feeding of the livestock. So I have given these people an inkling of farming.

On the other hand I have been a very bad man killing people. Yes they deserved killing, but was I supposed to be the judge and jury for them? I killed, or had killed at my request or demand, 82 people since I arrived here. Wow, so many in only 4 months; I only killed 53 in the war and I have killed close to twice that many here. That doesn’t say much about me being a peaceful man. Most people go through a whole lifetime and never cause the death of anyone, and here I kill or have killed almost 2 people for every year I have been alive. Thank goodness Marlit came in just then to get my attention off this maudlin subject. I don’t need to dwell on these thoughts. My life will be judged when the time comes.

Marlit came into the bedroom naked showing a little paunch starting in her middle. I opened my arms and she ran to me and climbed on the bed to my outstretched arms. I put her on her back and proceeded to kiss, lick, and nibble every inch of her exposed flesh. By the time I got to her bald beaver, she was oozing juices and all I could do was lap them up ending with my tongue teasing her clit. She grabbed me by the ears and hauled me up so I could enter her body. As I slid home, I felt just that, I felt as if I was finally home. Traveling is fun sometimes, but you just can’t beat being home where you belong. This is where I belonged, with my wives, making love to them and being loved by them in return. By the time we finished up I believe that had Marlit not been pregnant, she would have been after the load I deposited in her womb. I just hoped that I did not drown our son or daughter.

The whole day I was visited by my wives. When Pauloa came in, she had a plate of two big steaks and veggies and two glasses of cold milk. I asked if people were asking about me. She said, “Bob everyone knows why you are not present right now. Nothing has been said, but they all know that we are welcoming you back home to us. Tonight the men have something planned for you in the practice cave and tomorrow morning you will have to be ready for a 9:00am wedding, so no drinking a lot.”

I finally finished up with Swendtra, and boy was I tired. I slept for a couple of hours, and around 6:00pm, Joulnar came to get me. We had a late supper and I ate 2 more steaks, smaller ones this time though. After supper all the men gathered in the practice cave. I was seated in the middle of the open area. Men came up to me, one at a time, and each one gave me a piece of advice about marriage. I thought this was funny them giving me advice, but I went along with it. Once that was over, Snart came up to me and announced we have a treat tonight. “Another young man has decided to take the plunge into the matrimonial pool. Outher please come forward. You are going to become this man’s son-in-law, you have an unenviable position, but I know this man to be a fair and compassionate man. As long as you treat his daughter like the precious jewel that she is, you will have no problem. But I must warn you, treat her badly and you will see a side of this man you do not ever want to see. I have seen this side of him recently and it is not pretty. Now do you still want to marry his daughter, the precious Mertir?”

Outher said nervously, “Yes sir I do. I love her with all my being and I will treat her like she wants me to, I will never harm her, or let her come to harm, as long as I am alive and able. I know that my father-in-law can be a very terrible enemy, but I will always strive to be a good husband.”

“Now Bob, everything I said to this young man also applies to you. I have adopted young Melody and as her new father, I hold you to the same behavior as you expect of him. You know of my abilities and regardless of our friendship; I too will protect my daughter as you protect yours. Is this something you can live with as well?”

“Yes Snart, I will abide by those guidelines, and I promise you I would never in my life, harm your daughter.”

“Good, now the festivities can begin. Bob, Outher, you two may not drink more than one beer each. The others may have more, but remember the wedding is early in the morning and I do not tolerate drunks at my weddings,” said Snart.

There was a little drinking, but the rest of the time was for telling of stories passed down by generations of story tellers. I brought up the fact that once we all learned English, we could write down all the stories that were told, and the stories would not change over the years. It was a very good get-together. Some of what we discussed was how well we had stockpiled for winter, the new milk building, the new cold weather clothes, learning to shoot both rifle and bow, and all the new things they had learned in the last few months.

The party broke up fairly early, about 11:00 and we all went to bed. I was ensconced in my temporary lodging and slept late, till about 6:30 am. I showered and then dressed in the best pants and shirt I owned, which Barbara had set out for me. I was ready for my wedding. I met Teague standing up for Outher, at his and Mertir’s wedding. Marlit and I were giving Mertir away to young Outher, and as that was the first wedding I needed to be ready early. Teague and I ate breakfast together and discussed the combining of our families by the marriage. Mertir and Outher had also orally dictated their own marriage vows to Barbara and she wrote them out for Lamanr to say at their ceremony. Then after their ceremony, Melody’s and my ceremony would be officiated by Snart and assisted by Lamanr.

About 8:00 people started arriving in droves. They were transported to the main cave and made their way back to what would eventually be the gym. There were benches that could seat about 700 people easily. There was a raised platform at the front center of the area. The platform was about 8” high. This is where Lamanr and Snart would stand for the ceremonies.

Just before 9:00am, Fred played the traditional wedding music for the Cro-Magnon ceremonies. It was mainly drums and whistles. Marlit was seated and I escorted Mertir down the aisle to Outher and handed her over to him. I then sat next to Marlit and watched the ceremony. It was a lovely ceremony, and their vows were very nice, and loving. Soon the ceremony was over and it was my turn.

Snart stood at the center on a platform just like Lamanr did, but with his added height he appeared to be above everyone. I stood next to Harlou, Teague and Joulnar. First Katharine Wilson and then Margery Smythe came down the aisle followed by Carmaletta. Each had fantastic gowns and each woman looked fabulous. Snart left the platform and then the Earth standard wedding march was played as Melody and Snart came down the aisle with Angel, Bertron, and Grenna leading the way, dropping leaves on the floor, as there were no flowers available at this time of year.
