She wasn't accustomed to actually sleeping with any one and in these new surroundings it just added to her shock. She felt another shock as she realized that she had a firm grip on his penis. She smiled when she felt a slightly smaller hand also gripping his penis and knew that her sister had been sleeping with a grip on him as well. "Finally awake I see," Jon said smiling down at her and Mary turned scarlet as she realized that he knew that she was willingly holding on to him. "How about we get in the shower and I will make dinner." "That sounds excellent," Genny agreed and Mary leaned up to see her sister was awake as well. "How did you learn to do all that?" Mary asked as she reluctantly let go of his cock and slipped out of bed. "Exercise," Jon laughed and kissed Genny on the top of her head. "Are you feeling better now?" "Yes," Genny laughed and kissed his cheek before she too slipped out of bed. "Thank you for that. "Thank you, too," Genny said as she walked to her sister to give her a massive hug. "You've sacrificed so much just to make sure that I could follow my dreams." "You're worth every sacrifice," Mary replied as she hugged her sister. "Don't ever doubt it." "About that," Jon said as he pulled the two in tight. "I'm going to need you to quit working, Mary." "Why?" "You're going to go to college full time," Jon shrugged. "You'll need your degree. You'll work for me part time for extra cash. Don't worry about the bills," he continued. "I'll take care of everything. Once you get your law degree, you can worry then about repaying me." "How much money do you have?" Genny chuckled at Mary's shocked expression. "Enough," Jon smiled and shrugged. "We'll pick up another car tomorrow. You're going to have to take a driving course, Genny. With your sister at college and me at work, you'll need to drive yourself and I want to make sure you are safe doing so." "It's too much," Mary gasped. "Did you enjoy what we did together?" Jon asked after a moment. "Because I thought that was a priceless gift. If you agree, then how can the little things I offered be too much?" Seeing how serious he was, Mary smiled and pulled him into a fierce kiss. "Just because you're right," she replied, "Doesn't mean you aren't a stubborn ass." "Let's go get that shower," Genny giggled. "I'm starving." Jon laughed and swatted her on the ass causing Mary to giggle and pull him tight. "After dinner," Mary said as she headed for the door. "I'm going to see what else you have in that closet." "You shower with me tonight," Jon said, grabbing her. "Your sister can use the other." Mary laughed, knowing that he still needed release. "All right," she agreed. "The tight quarters shouldn't allow you to abuse me too much." Genny laughed as she left to take her own shower. Living here should be interesting, she thought as she exited the door. Dropping her clothes, she grabbed clean clothes wondering how dinner would be. Knowing what her sister was doing, as she stepped under the water, she decided that she had time to masturbate one more time. Mary was a bit shocked as Jon spent time washing her. Each caress seemed to enflame her more as he methodically washed first her hair then began working on her body. "Why are you taking so much time?" she asked. "And why so tender?" "Your pussy is too tender at the moment," Jon shrugged. "It would cause your body considerable pain for us to fuck right now. Perhaps later, when you are more recovered." Accepting his reasoning, Mary nodded, unsurprised at his gentleness and concern. "Can I ask," she began, slightly embarrassed. "How big is it?" "My cock?" Jon laughed. "Better than average sized. More than ten inches, I think. Though less than twelve." "How can you tell?" "Knuckle to knuckle on most people is about three inches," he shrugged. "I'm less than four hands long." "Probably not by much?" Mary giggled. "I'll measure it later. But, don't think I've forgotten." "Fair enough," Jon laughed. "Would you like to return the favor, or would you rather get ready for dinner?" "Dinner, I think," Mary said as she leaned forward to give him a quick kiss. "I will help Genny with her homework while you cook." "Sounds fair," Jon chuckled. "I'll be out shortly." Stepping in to the hallway, Mary laughed softly as she heard the moans coming from the other shower. She dressed quickly and brushed her hair before it became too entangled to do any thing. Genny was coming out of the shower as Mary exited her room and Mary smiled at her sister's embarrassment. "Masturbating again you little slut?" Mary laughed as Genny turned a deeper scarlet. "He is pretty amazing," Genny smiled after a moment. "So loving, tender, and kind. And, did you see the size of his thing?" "Get dressed," Mary chuckled and gave her sister a quick hug. "You still have homework for Monday. We'll need to stay on top of that if you want to get the grades he requires." "It'll help me get in to a good college," Genny sighed. "Apparently, he thinks a decent education is as important as we do. "Do you think you'll quit your job and go to college?" Genny said after a moment. "I know you've wanted to for a long time." "Homework now," Mary ordered after a moment. "We'll talk of the other later." Genny nodded and grabbed her pack from her room. Jon came out a short while later and began setting everything he would need on the counter. Next, he set a pot on the stove to heat some water before he began chopping up some fresh vegetables and some chicken breasts. Taking the water, he prepared three cups of tea. Without interrupting, he set a cup by each of the ladies and went back to continue preparations for dinner. Genny was shocked at how easy most of her homework seemed. Even some of the algebra that had formerly given her trouble she finished easily. By the time she was finished with everything, Jon was ready to start setting the table. Dinner was good. A simple salad, egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice. Fresh cut flowers were added to make the girls feel more at ease and the girls enjoyed the conversation as much as the meal. "That was delicious," Genny smiled. "Where did you learn to cook like that?" "Japan," Jon shrugged. "I dated a girl there and her father owned a restaurant. I liked the food, so he showed me how to cook quite a bit of it. As most of their food is healthier than American cuisine, I cook that more than anything else." "Thank you," Mary added. "It was amazing. What are your plans for this evening?" "I need to work out," Jon shrugged. "Once I clean the table, I'll go do that. You are welcome to join me. Or, there is the television, music, or books. All are available to you." "Work out," Mary laughed as her sister accompanied her response. "I figured you had to work out quite a bit to have a body like that." "I like the feeling that a workout gives me," Jon shrugged. "And, I think better while I concentrate on what I am doing. The patterns can be performed with one part of my brain while the other works on my problems." "You offered to pay for my college," Mary chuckled. "How many problems can you have?" "Money doesn't keep you from having problems," Jon smiled. "It merely helps you solve some problems, though none of the important ones." "Seriously?" Genny asked, surprised. "You can see on tv how many rich people get divorced," Jon nodded. "How often rich people get in trouble from drugs and such. They think money equals entitlement. Money is only money. Its importance is in how you use it to help yourself and help others. "Though I was released from the military for medical reasons," Jon continued as he began putting dishes in the dishwasher. "I have enough money to start my own business. My most important sign is the one saying that I will choose who to teach. Bullies, bigots, and thugs are not welcome. Money allows me that freedom." "But," Mary sighed. "Your money gives you that freedom." "And my conscience tells me how to use it," Jon nodded. "Without the conscience, I am merely a thug enforcing my will upon others." The girls expressed the appropriate shock on seeing his basement. He had a waveless pool for swimming, a complete set of weights as well as a few weight machines, some Pilates gear, a speed bag, heavy bag, and a couple styles of punching dummies. A large mat where he stretched out afterwards and began performing his kata slowly and precisely. Though he lost the girls after an hour, he continued until he made it to the treadmill where he ran ten miles. Normally, he would run through the streets, but with his new guests, he decided to stay indoors. "You are an animal," Mary laughed as he slowed the treadmill to a walk to cool down. "Do you do that every day?" "Normally I like to run through the streets," Jon admitted. "However, I thought you wanted to talk so I stayed here to make it easier for you." "About me going to college?" "I think it's a good idea, too," Jon nodded. "As a side benefit, you and your sister will both be happier." "It's too much," Mary said, softly. "I don't think I can take it." "You will," Jon said with a shrug as he grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat off his face. "It's important and you need it. You and I both know you need it. Monday, we will go to the bank and then enroll you in the courses you need to continue your education full time. Don't make any decision until we get to the bank, all right." Sighing, Mary nodded. If nothing else, they could enjoy a decent weekend. Jon's laugh made her jerk in surprise. "Yes," Jon agreed. "I know what you are thinking. It's why your sister understands things a little easier. Once you two are ready, I will start training you at the school as well. You will find that you will pick that up very easily as well." "You planted thoughts in our mind," Mary gasped. "A few," Jon shrugged. "I have put triggers in your minds to help you learn certain things. All the physical skills I know I have passed on to you. As I have more experience, I will still be better at them, but, once you see them, you will know when and how to emulate them. Your sister's lithe body will handle some of the things easier than you. With your lush body, you are not as flexible, at the moment. Some things she will be able to do before you. "No," he laughed. "I didn't make you do anything upstairs. That was all your choice." Mary nodded and smiled. He could put things in her mind, but, she didn't think he was going to lie to her about that. It just didn't seem to be in his character to take away her free will. "I knew you were strange," Mary laughed. "Anything else I should know?" "Not yet," Jon smiled. "Soon enough, but not yet." "Well," Mary said as she stepped up to give him a kiss. "If you didn't know it, you need a shower terribly. You're very sweaty." "I think it's time for you to return the favor," Jon laughed. "Your turn to wash me." "I couldn't agree more," Mary chuckled. Mary was surprised when she found Genny waiting for them outside Jon's shower. "Are you going to marry her?" she asked looking up at Jon. "Sadly, no," Jon sighed. "Your sister is going to get caught up in a year. Then, she's going to excel at college. Law school will be just as easy for her and she will surpass all their expectations. She's going to meet someone there. Years from now, after her successful family practice is established, she will meet him again. The timing will be right and they will court one another and get married." "What about me?" "You are going to use what was done to you," Jon smiled. "You are going to be one of my best students. You will open schools of your own. You will become nationally known with your classes on women's self-defense courses. You, too, will be a powerful woman." "How do you know all that?" Genny asked, astonished to find she found some pleasure at his ideas. "Because," Jon chuckled gently. "I'm going to teach you and your sister to fight. You will come to realize what you felt on the ground beneath that boy. You don't want anyone else to ever feel that." "Why are you doing this for us?" Genny said softly. "I'm not complaining. But, why?" "Because you need it," Jon said cupping her cheek in his hand and forcing her to look into his eyes. "You are a beautiful girl who will become a beautiful and powerful woman. Through you, many other women will find their own power and beauty. Isn't that a worthy goal?" "Yes," Genny said as she felt her body heating up under his gaze. "You and your sister have suffered enough," Jon said gently. "I decided to help you if I could. If this gives me as much joy as it brings you pleasure and them hope, then I think we are all on the right path, don't you?" Mary gasped as Genny fell in to his arms crying. Jon held her in his arms as she wept. As her sobbing decreased in its intensity, Jon leaned down and lifted her. Carrying her in his arms, he took her to her room and laid her in bed. As her arms still held tight to his neck, he laid in bed with her and held her until her tears stopped. Though she fell asleep crying, Jon maintained his hold on her while she slept. Though shocked at her sister's outburst, Mary couldn't believe that her sister didn't release her hold on Jon. Or that he would spend the time to simply hold her and caress her hair as she started falling asleep. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to give him a shower tonight, she sighed softly and went to bed.
