Part 1: Shield, Staff, and Compass
Chapter 19

Beth woke to the smell of eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee. She was 
alone in a strange bed. She looked frantically around the room. It 
was empty except for the bed, a knapsack, and a suitcase. The 
window had a plain piece of cloth hung over it that allowed the 
light to filter into the room.

As her mind returned to full functionality, she realized that she was 
naked. She didn't know where her clothes were. She ran her hands 
down her body relishing the feel of her satiated body. She had 
never woken feeling so good and satisfied. She thought to herself, 
"This is what feeling well fucked is like. I like it."

The events of the night before returned in a rush that overwhelmed 
her. Images flickered through her mind: her eating Betsy's cunt, 
her sucking that massive cock and swallowing his come, and being 
fucked by him while eating her. She had done things last night that 
she couldn't believe. Had she become a lesbian? No, she had 
enjoyed John too much for that to be the case. However, she could 
still taste Betsy on her lips.

She rose and wondered what she should do. The first thing she 
wanted to do was get dressed. She didn't know how she could face 
them naked. It wasn't the lack of clothes that bothered her, but the 
power of the emotions that they invoked within her. She wondered 
how it was that in only a single night she had fallen in love with 
both a man and a woman. 

Looking around the room, she could see that her clothes were not 
in the room. With nothing to wear, she stepped out of the room and 
entered the living room. Her clothes were neatly folded on the 
floor.

 "Come in and have some breakfast before it gets cold." John's 
voice drifted in from the other room. She wondered how he knew 
that she was awake. She thought she had been quiet.

She stepped out of the living room into the kitchen. John and Betsy 
were standing naked in the kitchen eating off their plates. John 
gestured to a plate on the counter, "That's yours. Sorry about the 
lack of table and chairs, but I don't believe in having too many 
possessions."

"That's okay. It reminds me of my days in medical school." She 
looked at the other two and recognized their total ease in their 
nudity. She was still uncomfortable as she glanced down at his 
cock and wondered if she could take it in her ass. She noticed the 
cup of coffee and took a sip. She recognized the Greek coffee right 
away. 

Betsy laughed, "Well, this is everyday for John. He likes living 
like this. He rents a room from a wonderful old lady. She's in her 
eighties. If it weren't filled with her furniture, there wouldn't be 
anything in it. I discovered that he usually sleeps on the floor on 
nights when I'm not staying over."

This man lived with an eighty year old woman? Beth raised her 
eyebrows, "The lady doesn’t mind you staying over at night?"

"Mind? No, she doesn't mind. Since she got a boyfriend, we've 
found them doing it everywhere possible in the house. She loves 
her sex." Beth laughed. She remembered the time when she went 
to get coffee out of the pantry and opened the door to find them 
cramped inside doing it.

"Wow!"

John asked, "I hope that we didn't wake you too early. We didn't 
know what time you needed to be at work, so we got up early. We 
wanted you to have time to shower, get home to change, and get to 
work on time."

"You didn't wake me."

"Did you taste Betsy when you woke up?"

"Yes," replied Beth as she wondered where this was going.

"Well, we made sure you would just about fifteen minutes ago," 
replied Betsy with a grin.

"Oh. OH! I understand," replied Beth as she realized what that 
meant. She stated, "I don't have to be in work early today."

"That's good. However, we were sure you might want to leave 
before Kelly came over. She'll be here in about two hours."

She swallowed the bite of toast she had just taken, "Kelly?"

"Yes, Kelly."

"Who's that?"

"The nurse that was in the examination room with us."

"Oh my God, she can't find me over here. She'll know." Beth 
imagined the rumor circuit at the hospital. She'd never hear the end 
of it. She started eating rapidly. 

John laughed, "I don't think you'll have to worry about her 
discovering anything new at this point in time. She spent the night 
across the street with Ed. Betsy and I saw them last night when 
they road bareback through our yard on his horse. Both of them 
were naked."

Betsy giggled, "You should have seen what she was using for a 
saddle horn."

"Oh my goodness." She looked at her plate and realized that she 
had finished everything on it. She looked through the kitchen door 
and saw her clothes in the living room. She wondered if she had 
enough time for a little more or if she should leave. She decided, "I 
guess I had better leave now. I'll shower at home."

Betsy took the situation in hand and led Beth to the living room. 
She watched as Beth dressed. Dressing is not as sexy as 
undressing, but it is still a thrill to watch a beautiful woman cover 
her body. The two women made small talk while John cleaned the 
dishes in the kitchen. 

He stepped out just as Beth finished putting on her shoes. Beth 
stood before the naked couple, more uncomfortable at being 
dressed than undressed. She faced them feeling very emotional. 
She stepped up to John. She kissed and hugged him. "Thanks so 
much for last night."

"It was my pleasure. I hope you enjoyed it."

"Oh, I did."

She turned to Betsy. For a moment, she felt awkward, but decided 
after last night she should have no reservations about kissing the 
other woman. She hugged and kissed Betsy. Betsy wrapped her 
arms around her and pulled her closer. The kiss intensified 
immensely. Beth finally stepped back, "Thank you so much. You 
have given me more than I can comprehend. You shared him with 
me."

"No, I shared you with him. You're welcome anyway."

"I shall cherish last night for a long time."

Betsy's eyes twinkled. She knew what she was going to say to 
Beth, but wanted to wait for the right time. She led Beth to the 
door and opened it a crack. Beth prepared to leave, but Betsy put a 
hand on her shoulder. Betsy cleared her throat to get Beth's 
attention. "By the way, John is going to be here for another couple 
of weeks. You have my permission to come over once a week and 
serve your Master."

The announcement came as a complete surprise to Beth. When 
Betsy had cleared her throat, she had been expecting to be told to 
never come back here. Instead, she had given her permission to 
come over. She wept openly as she turned and hugged Betsy, "I 
love you so much. I am yours forever."

John and Betsy were both dressed and ready to go. Betsy had 
finished crying from the emotional departure of Beth. John had 
watched the scene unfold with complete surprise. He realized that 
both women had grown and changed somehow during the events 
of the past twelve hours. Beth had experienced her desires and 
come to understand that they were a natural part of her, but not to 
the exclusion of all else. Betsy had found new aspects of her 
character that she had never known she had. He wondered what 
hidden aspects of his character he had yet to expose.

A knock on door the interrupted his thoughts. He walked over and 
opened it. Ed and Kelly came in. Betsy came out of the bedroom. 
John stated, "Betsy, I know you know Ed. This lady is Kelly. 
Kelly, this is Betsy."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Kelly stood there for a second, "What was Dr. Hayes doing here 
that kept her late enough to leave this morning?"

Betsy got very angry and was about to attack. John smiled, "What 
were you using for a saddle horn last night when you road by on 
the horse?"

 Kelly looked very embarrassed for a moment. She was about to 
retort that it was none of his business and then realized that what 
they had done last night was none of hers. She could tell that her 
question had angered Betsy. She also realized that her interest was 
probably easily mistaken for something that was not very nice. Of 
course, Dr. Hayes would be concerned about her reputation at the 
hospital. She decided to answer, "I was using Ed's cock if I 
remember correctly."

Ed, excited about the fantastic sex he had last night, grinned, 
"Yeah, she was telling me an exciting little story last night that 
involved Dr. Hayes."

Betsy was thoroughly pissed. They using her friend and lover as 
some sort of sex object. Not even bothering to hide her irritation, 
"Would you mind telling me that story, Kelly?"

Kelly looked at Betsy and realized that the day was not getting off 
to a good start. Both John and Ed were bracing themselves for a 
catfight. The men looked at each other in a helpless fashion. Kelly 
looked Betsy in the eye, "You need to understand something 
before I tell you the story. Ed and I were with Dr. Hayes when a 
rather amazing revelation came out. Now out of respect for her, I'm 
not going to tell you what we found out. I will say that it was what 
brought Ed and I together. Now, I would never do anything to hurt 
her."

Betsy was a little mollified by the preamble, but she wasn't sure 
that she trusted the woman. She knew what the revelation had 
been. However, this woman was just a little too curious about the 
sexuality of her friend. She decided to make it plain, "I'd really be 
angry if anything were said that would hurt the reputation of such a 
fine doctor. She's a good woman."

Kelly looked at Ed for support. He nodded his head and stated, 
"You can trust them. They'd never say anything."

John looked at Betsy and shrugged his shoulders. Betsy trusted Ed 
and decided to hear what they had to say. Kelly looked around, 
"We both want to make love to her."

In a flash of understanding, John understood. He had noticed Ed's 
interest when Beth's submissive side had been mentioned in the 
hospital. He hadn't noticed Kelly's reaction. Ed frowned, "You 
know that's just a dream. She wouldn't be interested in us. I'm just 
an old cowboy and she's a nurse that works for her."

Kelly's eyes lit up and it looked like fire was coming from them. 
"You're not just an old cowboy. You're going to be a mineralogist. 
We can have our dreams and if we work hard, they'll come true. I 
go to bed every night and dream about you making love to her and 
her making love to me. That dream ends with me making love to 
you and me making love to her."

Ed was starting to feel a little nervous. There were a few things he 
didn't want known. He stated, "Honey, we're gonna freak them out 
if you keep on."

Kelly turned on him. Her passion was clear to everyone in the 
room. She stated, "I'm gonna have a wife and two husbands, damn 
it! And you and I both know that we want her for a wife."

The idea of such a marriage had always appealed to Betsy. She 
turned to John, "Can I have a wife and two husbands?"

Kelly looked at Betsy as if she wanted to kill her. John answered, 
"Sure. I've got no problem with that."

Ed loved Kelly more than he had ever loved anyone. She was 
everything he wanted in a woman. She had this dream of living as 
a foursome with everyone making love to everyone. He wasn't sure 
how he felt about going down on a guy, but the idea of a larger unit 
of adults attracted him. It always had. Ed asked, "Are you guys 
serious or are you making fun of us?"

Betsy replied, "We're very serious about it. We've discussed it 
many times."

John nodded in support, "You see, loving relationships have to be 
structured so that everyone involved feels comfortable with it. To 
try to force all relationships to fit a common template is wrong. 
The common marriage structure doesn't work for most people, but 
they fear to challenge the status quo. We aren't afraid to live 
differently. We've considered that kind of marriage and others as 
well."

Kelly calmed down significantly and eyed Betsy with a little more 
understanding. She was about to ask for further clarification about 
things, but was interrupted by John, "Jeez, I just noticed the time. 
We had better head out or we're going to be late."

The trip to the university was a great success. The university 
worked out the details for John to be a guest lecturer for a single 
semester. He would teach a course on the physics of liquids. Ed 
was signed up for a study program in mineralogy. His years of 
reading on the subject had actually impressed some of the faculty. 
Kelly and Betsy had spent some time in the student union drinking 
coffee and talking. They became good friends. They realized they 
shared a common profession and they had many of the same ideas 
about relationships. 

Returning home in the early afternoon, they moved out to the 
patio. Sipping tea, they settled into their chairs. John broke the 
silence, "I'm thinking of buying this house."

Betsy's eyebrows rose, "Why?"

John stated, "Well, I need a place where I can use as a retreat. 
When events in Austin get too intense, I need a place to hide and 
recover."

Ed stated, "This is a good place for that. You have many friends 
here. If you need protection, the whole town will help you."

Kelly added, "We have a pretty good hospital."

Betsy sat there for several minutes thinking about the implications. 
She realized that John was letting her know that he was not going 
to be living fulltime in Austin. She also realized after the events of 
the past year that it was impossible for John to live in one place for 
a long time. Betsy asked, "What about us?"

John stated, "We are going to have to work out those details. I 
want to marry you and maybe one of these days you'll say yes. 
However, I can't stop things from happening when I'm around. Our 
marriage stands a better chance of surviving if I'm gone from time 
to time, than if I'm getting shot at every other week."

Betsy nodded, "You're right. However it wouldn't be much of a 
marriage."

Ed sat watching the exchange. He realized that what John proposed 
was extremely tough on a marriage. He wondered how he and 
Kelly would deal with such a situation. He suggested, "You know 
Betsy, you could move here and work at the hospital here. John 
could travel to the university a couple of times a week. This could 
serve as a central site where he lives and travels away as his urges 
dictate."

Kelly added, "Not much happens in a town of two hundred people. 
He won't have to be a hero too often if he lived here."

Betsy listened carefully to each suggestion. It was tempting. She 
wondered if she could help as many people here as in Austin. 
That's when it dawned on her that this was the crux of John's 
problem. The more people he was around, the more people there 
were that needed his help.  She answered, "Let me think about it 
while I'm in the middle east."

John nodded in understanding. He hoped that this might provide 
the solution to a problem that he had been worried about for a long 
time. He was quiet in his thoughts as he wondered about how the 
Goddess would feel about his choice. It was possible that she 
might view it as shirking his duty. Was he supposed to spend his 
life traveling and helping people? He needed an answer to this 
question. He did know that while he had been here that he hadn't 
been driven by urges as often as he had been in Austin. 

Ed broke the silence that had descended upon the foursome, 
"Kelly, this is Betsy's last night here. I think they might appreciate 
a chance to be alone."

She replied, "Of course, how rude of us. You two enjoy yourselves 
tonight."

Betsy smiled, "Don't worry. We will."

John, still lost in thought, missed the exchange. The other couple 
noticed his the introspective look on his face, winked at Betsy, and 
left without disturbing him. Betsy was pleased they understood. 
She watched them leave and then turned to watch John. His mind 
was working furiously. It was at times like this that she recognized 
just how powerful of a mind he possessed. Suddenly he looked up 
at her, "Betsy, I hope that I won't be driven to travel all of the time 
if we choose this option." 

She laid a hand on his arm, "We will deal with that if necessary."

John shook his head, "I guess we will."

They stood up and went in the house. Once the door was shut, 
Betsy giggled, "Last one naked gets tied up!"

The clothes dropped like leaves in an autumn storm. John was 
leading when he tripped over himself trying to get out of his pants. 
By the time he recovered, Betsy was naked and crooking a finger 
at him in a come hither motion. He smiled, "You won. I guess you 
want me to bathe you before you begin torturing me?"

"Good idea."

They showered together with John doing all of the washing. She 
luxuriated in being treated like a queen. John dried her off paying 
close attention to all of those sensitive points. After drying himself 
off, they moved into the bedroom. Betsy looked around the room 
and spotted the backpack. The ever-present rope was right where 
she expected it. With an ease that surprised John, she tied him 
spread eagle to the bed. Looking down on him, she smiled, "I've 
got you where I want you."

She settled down on the bed next to him and started running her 
hand up and down his body. Her touch was light and intended to 
excite rather than relax. Her approach worked as his cock started to 
erect. She dipped a finger into her cunt and worked it in and out. 
When her finger was well coated with her juices, she ran it along 
his lips and under his nose. He licked his lips savoring her taste. 
Each time he inhaled, her scent tickled his nose. His cock became 
fully erect.

She turned her attention to the rest of his body. She kissed him on 
the lips, his neck, his nipples, and belly button. She ran her tongue 
along the inside of his arm. He couldn't believe how good that felt. 
She slowly massaged his balls. The soft touch and the overly 
sensitive nature of his balls brought about a sexual tension unlike 
anything else that a woman can do to a man. John loved it. 
Everything she was doing was designed to excite him.

After thirty minutes of constantly being touched, John was 
practically out of his mind with the desire to come. She didn't give 
him enough pressure to take him over the edge. His cock leaked 
enough pre-come to thoroughly lubricate his cock. She still hadn't 
touched his cock. Finally she grabbed his cock and started to give 
him a handjob. The pressure was just right. Only a few seconds 
and he was ready to come, but she stopped. He groaned in 
frustration as his hips thrust up into the air. He hoped to rub against 
something just for the little bit that would send him over the edge. 

She positioned herself over his mouth and lowered her cunt to his 
waiting tongue. He licked, kissed, and fucked her with his tongue. 
He could feel her excitement as she neared orgasm. He sucked her 
clit into his mouth and took her over the edge. She rubbed her cunt 
into his face as her juices flooded his mouth. The taste only fueled 
his excitement even further.

She climbed off his face and looked at his erect cock. The purple 
head, covered in pre-come, looked positively delicious. She knelt 
down and licked it like a lollipop. His balls drew up and he was on 
the verge of orgasm. She stopped just before he was able to come. 
He started pulling on the ropes as his hips thrust into the air. He 
wanted, no he needed, to come. She smiled at his distress.

With light touches, she ran a finger up and down his cock. When 
his balls started to relax, she'd switch to running her finger around 
the head of his cock. The skin had reached a level of sensitivity 
that even the lightest touch sent chills up and down his spine. His 
balls would pull up and she'd stop. She kept him on the edge of 
orgasm. 

After two hours of this, his entire body started to react in ways that 
he had never experienced. Wave after wave of pleasure swept 
through his body. Still, he did not ejaculate. His cock wept pre-
cum like a bride wept tears when stood up at the altar.  He pulled 
against the ropes trying to free himself. There was only one 
thought in his mind and that was to achieve an ejaculation.

She bent down and slipped his cock into her mouth. The sensation 
was almost too much. His hips started their fucking motion and she 
pulled her mouth off his cock. He was screaming for release. He 
was so close that he was unaware that she had left the room and 
returned. 

She placed lubrication on a finger and started to rub it around his 
asshole. He tried to move down to get penetration. He had no luck. 
His balls had drawn up so tight that he thought that they were 
going to draw up into his body. Pre-come was pouring out of his 
cock. He looked down and saw that it had formed a puddle on his 
stomach. 

Eyes closed, he thrashed around on the bed seeking some way of 
getting release. Suddenly he felt the velvet sensation of Betsy 
lowering herself onto his cock. This was followed immediately by 
her finger driving into his ass. He started humping upwards with 
all of his strength. Once, twice, and then he came. Semen did not 
burst out, it flowed out for five minutes or more. His body went 
into convulsions as multiple orgasms washed through his body. 

Betsy came as she rode the unconscious man beneath her. She had 
never seen him that excited. She sat aside him as cum slowly 
leaked out of her cunt waiting for him to awake. He did not 
awaken for a long while, yet his cock remained erect. She rode to 
another orgasm, both his and hers. He was not aware of it. 

She untied him while he was unconscious. It had been difficult, as 
she had not gotten off him in the process. She stayed on him until 
his eyes opened. She looked down on him, "Have a good one?"

"What did you do to me? I've never experienced anything like 
that."

"I gave you an orgasm."

"Yeah, right. That's what it's called."

Betsy smiled, "Are you ready for something to eat?"

John nodded, "Yes."

Betsy smiled again, "Are you really ready for something to eat?"

"Yes."

She slowly lifted herself off his cock and slid up to his surprised 
face. She squatted over his mouth, "Eat up."

Cum ran out of her cunt in a huge stream. He started licking and 
sucking the juices from her cunt, as fast as he could, but there was 
so much that his face became covered with their combined juices. 
He realized that his hands were free from their bonds and grabbed 
her hips. She rocked at the sensation of his tongue probing her 
deeply. Her hand slipped down to his cock. It only took a few 
minutes for her to come again. 

She lifted herself off John and looked down at him. His face was 
covered with cum. His eyes were wild and his cock was just 
beginning to soften. As she looked at his cock, she realized that he 
had come again while eating her. She bent down and cleaned his 
face. He spoke one word, "Wow."

She laughed, "Wow is right. I kept you from coming for almost 
three hours."

He shook his head, "I think I went crazy there for a while."

She laughed, "That was the whole point."

He took a breath, "Have I told you today how much I love you?"

"No."

"I am the richest man in the world because I have you beside me. I 
could live homeless on the street and be happy knowing that at one 
time you even looked at me. My love for you is boundless and 
unconditional. "

Tears formed in her eyes. Trying to lighten the mood, she asked, 
"So you'd suck a cock for me?"

"I'd go to hell and back for you. Anything you want, I'll do for 
you."

Betsy lay down next to him on the bed. He put his arms around her 
and pulled her close. They watched the sky darken as the sun set. 
They lay there until midnight when they both finally fell asleep.

In the morning, there was the quiet that lovers share when about to 
separate. Neither wants to talk about it, but both know that 
separation is imminent. Little touches, small kisses in passing, and 
sighs when apart marked the morning. As the time approached, 
John broke the morning of silence, "Betsy, I love you and want to 
marry you. While you are away, could you please think about 
marrying me?"

Betsy smiled, "Is that a proposal?"

"Yes. I think they call that a soft-sell. Please think about it."

Betsy nodded her head, "John, I promise you that I will seriously 
consider it this time."

"Thank you."

Betsy finished packing her suitcase. She closed it with a terminal 
sounding thud. John picked it up and carried it out of the room. He 
set it down next to the front door. He asked, "Have you got 
everything?"

"Yes, John. I'm ready to go."

John opened the door and carried the suitcase to her car. She 
opened the trunk of the rental car. John set the suitcase in it with a 
sigh. The moment was coming when he would have to say 
goodbye. He slammed the trunk shut a little harder than he had 
intended. Betsy walked to the drivers door and turned to find that 
he had followed her. Betsy had a misty look in her eye, "I have to 
go now, John."

John stepped up to her and put his arms around her. He kissed her 
passionately, knowing that this was the last kiss for the next 
month. After several minutes, she lightly pushed against his chest. 
He stepped back, "Betsy, I love you. Have a safe trip and take care 
of yourself while you're there. It's a dangerous place."

"You get shot at more than I do," laughed Betsy. She added, "You 
take care of yourself. I love you."
