I'll admit, before these things happened to me in real life, 
I used to read fictional stories about similar events on the 
Internet. Hell, I still do sometimes on a warm Sunday night 
like this one, when I sit alone hunched over my computer. 
These stories all seem to begin with grabbers of lines like 
'It all started that day in desert with the strange lights', 
or 'He found the book while cleaning out the attic.' When I 
finally recently decided to sit down and write this, I tried 
to come up with something similar, but in the end gave up. 
Mine begins with:

It just happened.

And when it did, it happened in the local supermarket.

It was a Friday afternoon, and I and all the other worker-
drones from the neighborhood had stopped there on our way 
home from our weekly toils. (In my case...Where? Doing what? 
Doesn't matter now. It was an office. I sat in a crummy 
little cubicle behind a crummy little desk and shoved pieces 
of papers and packets of electrons around all day.) I was 
pushing my cart up the one of the frozen food aisles, half-
listening to the whiny squeak of the front left wheel and 
trying to decide what I wanted in the way of TV dinners for 
the coming week. Then I rose up from my thoughts and there 
she was. I squealed the cart to a stop and the rest of the 
world ground to a halt as well.

She was standing further up the aisle, intently scanning the 
contents of one of the tall freezers, the handles of one of 
the market's ugly square plastic hand-baskets clenched in 
one set of fingers and a lumpy package of frozen peas in the 
other. A thirtyish woman, she had on a chic little business 
outfit, a jacket and skirt that were nicely set off by both 
the purse slung over one shoulder and her matching bob of 
light brown hair. 

I had never seen her before in my life.

I still don't know what it was. Love, maybe, but I had been 
in love before that moment and it didn't feel the same. (It, 
the old love, hadn't worked out in the end; I was single and 
very much unattached when this happened.) But love is 
different every time, or so they sometimes say, and was 
there anything else that it could have been? I mean, she was 
very pretty, but she certainly wasn't the most drop-dead 
gorgeous woman I'd ever seen. Nevertheless, as I stood 
there, the world still frozen around me, it was like I was 
watching some movie and the director had ordered one of 
those long camera zooms, one that closed in on a character's 
face until it fills the entire shot. At the precise moment 
the zoom stopped, she paused in a very distinct sort of way, 
straightened up, and slowly swiveled her enormous head in my 
direction. Time started up again around us. We looked at 
each other.

There was a long moment filled with the store's syrupy Musak 
and then the basket and the peas slid out of her well-shaped 
hands. Both hit the floor, and something inside the basket 
shattered and began glopping its reddish contents out across 
the carefully sterilized vinyl.

She started walking towards me on clicking heels, a stiff-
legged walk that gradually edged itself towards a run. Her 
expression was one of almost one of panic. Not concern about 
what was happening to her, I think, but a growing fear that 
I might turn out to not be real, might slip away into 
nothingness before she could cross that endless distance and 
reach me.

Not that I had any intention of disappearing. I stepped 
around my cart and she was there, in my arms, pressing her 
slender body tightly against mine, wrapping her own arms 
around me, kissing me frantically, her nimble tongue sliding 
eagerly into my mouth. She was a tiny little thing and she 
had to go up on her toes to make full contact.

The kiss seemed to go on forever. Finally, I broke away if 
only to come up for air. I looked down at her and she stared 
back, her hazel eyes shining, her breath coming in hiccupy 
little gasps.

Something obviously occurred to her and she dropped to her 
knees, started fumbling with the zipper of my jeans, 
fighting to get at the rising bulge underneath. I realized 
what she was planning and somehow found my voice:

"No."

She instantly broke off and looked up again. Her wide-eyed
expression sent a sharp bolt of pain through me; she brought 
to mind the image of a kicked puppy.

"Not here."

Her smile was back with the same flickering speed and I 
helped her to her feet. Sparing a glance around, I noticed 
that there were two or three other people in the aisle. None 
of them paid us the slightest attention, but I didn't 
particularly feel like sticking around to give them the 
chance.

We abandoned the cart and basket to their fate and left the 
supermarket, breezing out through one of the empty checkout 
lanes. I caught a glimpse of a bored cashier giving us a 
mildly quizzical stare, the only one who even seemed to see 
us. Then we were gone, out into the parking lot, out into 
the afternoon's gloom and gray drizzle. We paused there on 
the yellow-striped concrete and kissed again, me lifting her 
all the way off of the ground this time. I turned us slowly 
in a circle.

Then we went to my car and drove back to my apartment, 
abandoning her car as we had the baskets.

She tried again to kneel before me during the creaking 
elevator ride up to my floor, to service me, and again I 
stopped her.

I finally gave her the chance in the front hall of my place, 
and it was definitely worth the wait. She'd gotten very good 
at it somewhere, and I came in her mouth, down her throat, 
almost immediately. She swallowed every drop.

Then we worked our way into the bedroom, leaving a trail of 
clothing behind us.

I discovered as I entered her that she was a virgin.

And as she came, she screamed my name, which I had yet to 
tell her.

* * *

We lay in bed together. It was dark outside, and bits of 
rain still splatted desultorily against the window. I looked 
at her naked curves, a series of white arcs in the glow of 
the headlights passing by on the street below, bringing to 
mind a collection of moons orbiting some distant but 
friendly planet.

"What's your name?" Obviously, this was me asking.

"I..." She paused, and cocked her head quizzically. Then she 
smiled simply and openly, a smile with no shadows lurking 
anywhere in it. "I don't remember." She rolled up next to me 
and started kissing me again, just as hot and eager as the 
first time. After a long moment, I tore myself away and 
spoke:

"You don't remember? How could you forget your own name?"

"The first thing I remember is seeing you in the 
supermarket." She paused again, looking inward, obviously 
thinking deeply now. Her petite fingers absently twined 
their way through my chest hair. "No. I take that back. I 
was... there was... a woman before that." Her voice was 
grave. She turned her gaze back to me. "But she died when I 
saw you. No... not died. She just came out of her cocoon, 
and became me."

"No. Listen. This is very important. You have to remember.
Remember... that woman's name."

"You aren't going to send me away, are you?" Her eyes were 
very wide now.

"No. Of course not. Never. But I want to know your name."

She lay there and stared helplessly into space.

I had an inspiration.

"I order you to remember your name."

"Camilla." She blinked as the words spilled out of her 
mouth, my words and tone obviously punching a button 
somewhere down in her brain. "My name was Camilla 
McCormick."

I sighed.

"Your name is Camilla McCormick. Do you understand?"

"Of course. My name is Camilla McCormick"

"Where do you work, Camilla?" Seeing her expression I held 
up a hand and cut off her reply. "Where do you go to make 
money for me?"

"I make money for you at Wheatley and Associates. They 
import specialty foods, mostly from Europe. I work in the 
payroll department." She continued, still grave and calm. 

"Would you like me to steal some of the company's money for 
you?"

"No, Camilla. That won't be necessary."

For a moment I just held her in my arms, feeling her warmth. 
What I had felt when I entered her seemed to render my next 
question academic, but I asked it anyway.

"You aren't married, are you?"

"Oh, no."

"What about a boyfriend?"

"No. She... I was saving myself for you."

"You... you've never even had a boyfriend?"

"Oh, some. But I never let any of them have sex with me. 
Real sex. I knew I belonged to you. I was waiting for you." 
A pause. "Waiting in my cocoon. Even then."

I considered asking her how she differentiated between real 
sex and the fake kind, but then decided it wasn't important.

I'm most definitely sure, however, what we did next fit into 
the former category.

She moved in with me of course, easily abandoning her 
previous home and existence except for her job. Life settled 
into a delightful daily routine: a wake-up blow job for me 
at seven on the dot, a long hot shower together, Camilla 
using her own soapy body to clean mine, then work for both 
of us, then more 'real sex' until we tumbled exhausted into 
bed. (Or at least tumbled to rest...) On weekends, we'd go 
somewhere enjoyable in between having sex. Until...

* * *

It was a few weeks after Camilla and I had come together, 
and we were at the city art gallery downtown. As a treat, I 
had let Camilla decide where to go on our outing that day. I 
still had to pry out information about her past, her likes 
and dislikes, a piece at a time, but she finally remembered 
and/or admitted that before falling into my orbit she had 
enjoyed going to see the paintings. So we went.

It was a wet and miserable weekend, but a still-surprising 
number of people had come; the place was fairly crowded. We 
slowly wound our way through the mob, stopping at various 
paintings that were Camilla's particular favorites. While 
not an out-and-out expert, she turned out to be quite 
knowledgeable about the subject and I enjoyed hearing her 
comments. She certainly knew more about such things than I 
did. 

The moment it happened this time, we were studying a large 
seascape ('Battery Point #42' by a man named Ingerhold; we 
have a print of it now, hanging in the dining room...) 
Camilla was snuggled nicely against my side, her hand doing 
equally nice things up between my shoulder-blades, when I 
glanced across the room and saw... her. The second one. 

There was another camera zoom in my mind as the crowd froze 
in place, its collective babble cutting off. She was 
standing in front of another seascape, this one a painting 
of a lighthouse high on a cliff, all blues and greens and 
greys. Her back was to us, her arms tightly crossed around 
her waist, her carefully aligned fingertips visible to me. 

She was blonde, two or three inches shorter than my own six 
feet and rather more voluptuous than Camilla. I couldn't see 
her face, but I knew that it didn't matter. I looked down at 
my first conquest as the world came back to life.

"Camilla? Do you see that woman over there?" I didn't bother 
to point. There was no need.

"Yes, Andrew." She glanced in exactly the right direction.

"She belongs to me as well. Go over there and fetch her to 
me, would you?"

"*Yes*, sir!" She smiled, her expression radiant, and she 
deftly slipped out of my one-armed embrace. She almost 
skipped across the room, rather childlike in her tight-
fitting jeans and T-shirt and jacket, the crowd seeming 
almost to magically part before her. I watched as she came 
up to the blonde woman and placed a gentle hand on the arm 
of her target's fuzzy purple sweater. The woman turned 
without surprise and looked down. Seeing Camilla, she tipped 
her head to one side and smiled, showing an impressive 
mouthful of white teeth. She then turned her gaze to me. 

Somehow, even through the thick sweater and her own pair of 
jeans, I could see her wide nipples pop to attention, her 
sex ignite and dampen. Together, they came back across the 
room. The newcomer had lovely deep blue eyes and delicate 
features which were a nice contrast to Camilla's snub-nosed 
cuteness. She and I kissed for a long moment, Camilla 
watching happily from one side. Finally I freed my lips and 
took a step back. I spoke gently but firmly.

"I order you to remember your name for me."

"My name is Elizabeth Benetine, sir." She smiled again, a 
Julia Roberts smile, one with too many teeth that were too 
big, but was still somehow perfect.

I took her in my arms again and we kissed more thoroughly, 
turning in a slow circle, completing the link between us. 
Welding shut the bands that held her soul.

Then the three of us went out into the wind and rain and 
drove back to our apartment. Actually Camilla drove, while 
Elizabeth and I were busy in the back seat. At the 
apartment, we had real sex all afternoon. Three-way sex was 
a new experience for all of us, and we learned and 
experimented with the various combinations and possibilities 
as we went. We fell asleep still tangled together, waking to 
Sunday sunshine. In an added bonus, Elizabeth proved that 
morning and thereafter to be an excellent cook, better than 
Camilla and I put together. Elizabeth moved in with us as 
well, and we stopped living on TV dinners and Chinese take-
out.

* * *
 
Number three was Celeste, a friend of Elizabeth's and a co-
worker at the same engineering firm. She became suspicious 
about Elizabeth's sudden change in lifestyle and followed 
Elizabeth to my apartment one drizzly Monday evening. 

Elizabeth and I were, unsurprisingly I suppose, having sex 
at the time, but Camilla answered the door when Celeste 
started banging on it, and she then brought the intruder 
into my presence.

Celeste has the most wonderful hair it has ever been my 
fortune to see or touch, a vibrant river black and thick, 
long and lustrous. As soon as I saw it, as soon as she saw 
me and realized the truth about our relationship, I had her 
do a long slow striptease beside the bed, finally unpinning 
those gorgeous tresses and positioning herself beside me, 
over me, on the bed. The strands dangled over and around me 
like silken moss dripping from the limbs of some black-
hearted Ent, and I could just run my fingers through it. 
Celeste held perfectly still, her dark eyes wide, her body 
subliminally quivering with the overlapping orgasms while I 
stroked her hair. Camilla joined Elizabeth in working on 
keeping my penis hard and happy, their tongues moving in 
practiced tandem, around and around, up and down... 

It's a good thing that Celeste joined us when she did, since 
she later admitted to me that she had been considering 
having a large chunk of her hair cut off. Now that she had 
two sisters to help her keep it in order, it wasn't as much 
trouble for her and she could let it grow even longer for 
me. It's down almost past her ass now.

* * *

And so it went. A month after Celeste, there was Gabrielle 
Dubois, my dark-skinned, black-hearted little night-
creature: she slithered into my cab as it pulled up to the 
curb, a puff of toxic smoke which casually cut off the 
waiting Celeste on the sidewalk. Unlike my first three 
girls, when our eyes met, there was resistance. She recoiled 
from me, almost screaming, scrabbling for the handle of the 
door, which had swung shut behind her:

"No!"

"No what?" I smiled and raised my eyebrows. Otherwise, I 
stayed as still as the frozen traffic.

"*No*!"

The traffic came back, honking at itself and churning the 
slush.

Celeste joined us, sliding into the open front seat and 
giving the cabdriver my address. We pulled out into the 
street, the cab's wipers squeaking tiredly at the sticky 
white flakes.

Gabrielle's compact, muscular body slid across the seat to 
me, methodically preparing itself for sex, even as her 
steely knife-edged mind still tried to draw away and slash 
at me.

"No..."

I made her wide mouth shut up by kissing it. Even as her 
talons clawed at my back, her lips and tongue began 
helplessly to respond. And more than respond. About that 
kiss and all the ones that have come after it, all I can say 
is, all I want to say, it's a good thing that it's Gabrielle 
who is the underling in our relationship. She'd have eaten 
me alive otherwise, perhaps literally. Part of her still 
hates me to this day, a venomous, powerless hatred as black 
and thick and deep as Celeste's hair. Somehow, it adds a 
extra dash of spice to our love making, which is loud and 
physical and violent, filled with vituperative and highly 
imaginative curses. I immensely enjoy her hatred and I'm 
almost positive that she does as well, which is probably why 
she has been allowed to keep it.

* * *

And then there was the cold winter night where I attended 
the annual local performance of the Nutcracker over on the 
Eastside. I sort of had to; Gabrielle was one of the 
dancers. My Christmas present for the year was tall flame-
haired Jessica, who was waiting for me right outside the 
performance hall after the show, standing under a large 
elegant umbrella and watching the snow drift down with a 
rather lost, waif-like expression on display behind her 
glasses. We looked at each other, and for an eternal moment 
the snow hung unmoving in the air, silt stirred up from the 
bottom of the sea.

I didn't kiss her, at least not then. We just twirled 
together for another long eternity, discarding her umbrella 
and getting snow in our hair and on our shoulders and down 
the back of our necks. Finally Gabrielle came stalking out 
and we all went back to Jessica's penthouse. Once there, 
Jessica and I danced another slow waltz without rising from 
the carpeted floor, a performance conducted under the green 
and red lights of a tree which was as tall and as stately as 
its owner. Gabrielle got to play maid and serving wench for 
the night, much to her undisguised displeasure. It was just 
a shame that she had to leave her costume behind at the 
hall; it would have made it all even more perfect... (We 
have a copy of that costume now. Gabrielle wears it a lot.)

I mentioned the penthouse. Jessica was (and is) very well 
off, thanks to her late father's investments (HTI and 
Yankovich and Western Techtronics and the list goes on...) 
and she had been generally quite frugal, carefully saving 
and re-investing most of her money so it would be finally 
available for my and her sisters' use, after I claimed her. 

We moved in with her; she (I, if you prefer) actually owns 
the entire building so there was plenty of room for 
everybody and no more possibility of nosy landlords or 
neighbors. (Although, as I have hinted before, our 
activities generally seem to be invisible to the world 
around us. I've never been seriously tempted to push it, but 
I sometimes wonder what would happen if we all went and had 
an orgy on the steps of City Hall. Would the other 
pedestrians even break stride as they walked past?)

More importantly, none of us ever have to work again. I quit 
my job at once, but my girls' reactions were more varied. 
Celeste still works for Eastbay Engineering. Gabrielle still 
dances in front of audiences, because that's the only time 
she's truly happy, apart of course from when she is at the 
absolute height of enraged sarcastic orgasm, my cock 
spurting deep inside her. Elizabeth has become a full-time 
master chef. Camilla has taken up painting, and is getting 
quite good at it, if I say so myself. Ingerhold's work is 
about the only one we now have that she didn't do.

* * *

I currently have six girls. Two months ago I answered a 
knock on the front door of our country home during a violent 
thunderstorm, and there was Teresa on the wide stone stoop, 
barefoot and wearing only a flimsy pink teddy which had 
begun to plaster itself to her generous curves. The moment 
of the freeze caught her in the middle of a lightning-flash, 
giving her clear pale skin an almost transparent quality, in 
contrast to her dark brown helmet of hair. When time resumed 
she collapsed into my arms, sobbing a mixture of hysteria 
and relief. She's proven to be the only one of the six who 
is able to resist me or any of my commands, even for a 
moment. (Although as I have already noted, a part of 
Gabrielle wants nothing more than to rip out my heart with 
her freshly-sharpened talons and stomp on it with her 
sharply spiked heels...) 

We have no idea who she was or if 'Teresa' was even her real 
name; she had no ID on her when she arrived, no jewelry, no 
identifying marks or scars. Her only possession, the teddy, 
was expensive and exquisitely made, with no manufacturer's 
label. Someone must have given her a lift to our door since 
she wasn't actually that wet, but she's never been able to 
remember her last name or any details of her past, even when 
I directly order her to. I suppose I could hire someone to 
find out who she was easily enough, but something tells me 
it's a matter best left alone. In the end, the other girls 
all got together and voted to give her the last name of 
'Trilby,' and if you have lots of money, constructing a new 
and totally legal identity for someone is frighteningly 
easy...

She hates wearing any more clothes than essentially what she 
arrived in, and she spends most of her time flitting 
contentedly around whatever house or apartment or villa we 
currently inhabit, keeping things clean and in order. We've 
also discovered she's quite the musical virtuoso, 
particularly on the piano, which makes Gabrielle about as 
happy as she ever gets; she prefers having live music to 
practice to. On Saturday nights I have Gabrielle dance for 
me in front of some of Camilla's paintings, while Teresa 
plays the piano and Celeste kneels naked before me, her head 
tilted back so that her glorious hair is fanned out across 
my lap, sliding across my exposed cock. Elizabeth works on 
dinner in the kitchen, and thus all of my senses are 
engaged. I am a happy man.

* * *

 And so things currently stand. Are there more women out 
there, waiting for me? I don't know. Why was I given the six 
that I currently have? I don't know. I certainly didn't do 
anything to earn them that I am aware of. There don't seem 
to be any other men like me around, although maybe they are 
as invisible to me as I am to the rest of the world.

And perhaps... At this very moment, I sit alone in my office 
on a Sunday night. (Sunday... like much of the world, it is 
my day of rest. Depending on schedule and circumstance, I 
take at least one of my girls to my bed every other night of 
the week.) Spring is coming. I have the windows open onto 
the garden and the warm air comes in, carrying with it the 
sounds of frogs and the scent of renewal. 

I sit alone and type these words into my computer's word-
processing program, cutting and pasting and dragging and 
rearranging. 

And perhaps... maybe by putting all this down, finally 
clicking on that 'save' button at the top of the screen, I 
will be breaking the spell that binds the seven of us 
together. Perhaps this was never something that was meant to 
be pinned down, defined. Perhaps tomorrow morning my six 
girls will all wake up and be free of my influence, whatever 
that influence is. Which is one reason why I try to be a 
kindly... master?, and let my... slaves? generally do what 
they want, even when they (all except Gabrielle of 
course...) beg me to order them around, to tell them what to 
do, to treat them like dirt. If they are freed someday, 
maybe the others will keep Gabrielle from killing me, or at 
least hold her off long enough for me to make good my 
escape...

But on further reflection, I'm not terribly worried. 
Scanning back through the disjointed ramblings I have just 
spewed forth, I see that I haven't become to come close to 
capturing the feeling of it all. The spell still runs free, 
the chain is unbroken, the demon uncaged by the feeble 
attempted pentagrams of my words. You, the reader, out 
there, whoever you are, can't grasp the essence of the 
circle that the seven of us have been forged into. 
Particularly those six moments when the connections were 
first made, when the world both came to a stop and came to 
life. I can't describe it, not really, because I don't know 
it. I don't want to know it.

All I do know is, I now look forward to rainy days with 
great anticipation... 

(End)
