 A World of My Choosing   An Out-of-this-World Story by Gil Gamesh   Chapter
Eighteen   After lunch James was so eager for all of us to go Aimee's room,
he almost ripped his loincloth off.  Iain was almost as quick to get naked.
They both stood there watching Anna.  She teased them a little and slowly
removed her loincloth.  They didn't even look at me when I removed mine. 
Then they were out the door and running to Aimee's room.  I yelled for them
to go to the supply room to get the Nor and then I took Anna's hand and we
followed them.  Her grin was just as wide as mine.

   James didn't even wait when the four of us went in Aimee's room.  He
jumped into the lounge chair, spread his legs, reclined, and opened the jar
of Nor.

   "Good afternoon, Aimee," I said.  "James and Iain want to use your chair
again.  Is that OK with you?"

   "Of course, David.  I am always pleased to have your company.  May I be
of assistance?"

   "No, Aimee.  Please just listen and speak up when you wish."

   I waited while first Anna, then Iain, and then James briefly greeted
Aimee.  The three of them seemed to regard her as just another person, a
friend.  Whatever or whoever she was, I knew I certainly regarded her as a
friend.

   Since the four of us were naked, I wasn't surprised when I saw that she
was too.  First, the image on the screen was of her full body.  That image
then changed to one of her from the waist up.  I took a second to
appreciate her beautiful breasts and then turned to James.  He was
stretched out in the recliner with a grin on his face, an already erect
penis hovering above his abdomen, and his testicles hanging down between
his spread legs.

   I knew I had to ruin somebody's plans but I thought it might be a good
lesson for him and Iain and Anna.  We all had to be careful not to waste
any of the resources which had been provided for us.

   "James, before we start, I want to ask you a question," I said.

   He looked at me and waited.

   "How big a supply of the defoliator...What did Iain call it?  Nor?...do
we have?  If we run out, when will our supply be replenished?  How do we
know it will ever be replenished?  Will somebody eventually send us another
shipment?"

   "It is not a defoliator, David," Aimee said.  "It is a depilator."

   "Well, it leaves you bare, doesn't it?  It must be a defoliator."

   She just groaned and shook her head.  Her sense of humor was one of the
traits that always made me believe she was human.

   Anna just looked from Aimee to me and back in amazement.

   James and Iain both looked at me without saying anything.  Since it was
Anna's idea that the guys should use it on their legs too, I waited to see
if she understood.

   She looked at me critically and then responded the way I wanted her to.
"I think David is telling us that all the resources we have may be limited
and we shouldn't waste them.  You guys really don't need to use the stuff
on your legs but I would like to use it on mine at least one more time.  I
suppose we don't really need to use it on our pubic hair either."

   "Damn, I was hoping to see what a bare pussy looked like," James said.

   "Aimee, what do you think?" I asked.  "Do we need to worry about wasting
the defoliator?"

   "Yes, David," she answered.  "You should be concerned about all your
resources.  All of the present supplies were here before me.  I have no
knowledge as to when any new ones might arrive.  Use of any of the supplies
is under your control."

   "I think we should let Anna use it on her legs and we should all use it
to defoliate our pubic patches, just this once," I said.  "Then I think we
should let James and Iain find out how big our supply is and how long it
might last.  Maybe they'll volunteer to do the same thing with some of our
other resources."

   "That's OK with me," Anna said.  "James wants to go first.  Who wants to
help me with him?"

   "I'll help if you'll do me next," Iain said.

   They looked to me for approval and I shrugged.

   I pulled a chair up closer and sat down to watch.  Anna stood on one
side of James, Iain on the other, and James held the Nor on his abdomen,
almost touching the head of his erect penis.

   "How do we do this?" Anna asked.

   "Well, one of us needs to hold his dick out of the way and the other
needs to rub the stuff all over his pubic hair," Iain said.  "You have to
rub it in thoroughly to do a good job of making the hair come off.  Keep
rubbing it in until the Nor seems to disappear.  If you'll hold his dick
straight up, I'll rub the Nor in."

   "Not me, boy!" Anna said.

   Iain looked at her like he couldn't believe what he had heard.  "Why
not? It won't bite you."

   "Yeah, but it might spit on me."

   Iain and James looked at each other and grinned.  They knew I had told
Anna about what they had done with me.

   Anna held James' penis between her thumb and one finger and pulled it
upright, then bent over and looked closely at it.  His foreskin was still
covering the head and the glans was barely peeking out.

   "Why isn't his foreskin retracted?" she asked.  "Does it need to come
off?"

   "Yeah," James said.  "It needs it bad."

   "I meant your foreskin, dummy," Anna said.  "Does it retract?"

   "Damn, nobody's going to whack my foreskin off.  I meant my dick.  And,
yeah, my foreskin pulls back.  Just slide your hand down my dick."

   "Poor thing," Anna said.  She wrapped her hand around his dick and slid
the foreskin down tight enough to make him squirm.  She stroked it a couple
of times and then stopped.

   "Well, aren't you going to rub the Nor on him?" she asked, looking at
Iain.

   Iain rubbed the depilator on James pubic hair, on his testicles, and
back between his legs including his asshole.  Anna bent his dick out of the
way and at the same time slowly moved her hand slowly up and down.  James
lay there grinning from ear to ear.  I sat in the chair, grinning just as
widely, enjoying the fun.

   "Oh, Iain, I love you so much," James cooed when Iain was rubbing the
Nor on his asshole."

   "Yeah, you'll love me more when I use my dick instead of my finger,"
Iain retorted.

   "Don't make it come off, Anna, at least not yet," I said.  "Let him
suffer for a while."

   "Yeah, make him suffer, Anna," Iain said.  "Tell him to get his butt out
of the chair so you and somebody else can do me."

   "He's suffered enough, Iain," Anna said.  "I'm going to kiss it and make
it all better."

   She leaned over, kissed James' dick right of the tip of the head, and
then straightened back up.  She held it for a moment longer, looking at it
appraisingly, and then leaned over again, took the head in her mouth for a
second, and then stood up again.

   "There.  Does it feel better, James?" she asked, grinning.

   His eyes were wide open and so was his mouth.  "Yeah, yeah, it sure
does," he finally managed to say.

   James was a little too slow in getting his butt out of the chair so Iain
grabbed his leg and pulled.  They ended up dancing around Anna with their
fists in the air.  It was the first time I'd seen naked boxers with
hard-ons.  They were grinning so I wasn't worried.  No blows were
exchanged.

   "Iain, get your butt in the chair if you want Anna to do you next
instead of me," I threatened.

   He got his butt in the chair in a split second and stuck his tongue out
at James when he got settled.  James gave him the finger.  They were still
grinning.  Iain's dick was rigid too, standing up a little above his lower
abdomen.  His balls hung down between his legs almost to the recliner.  I
wondered what Caitlyn would think if she could see him.  He had changed
since he came to this new world.  He was now a slim muscular tanned young
man, sexy to even my masculine eyes.  I wondered what Caitlyn would think
of him.

   I thought Iain would prefer to have Anna hold his dick out of the way
instead of me.  She gave him the same treatment she had given James.  She
stretched his foreskin back so tight it looked painful and then wrapped her
hand around his dick and slowly stroked it and bent it out of the way.  I
stuck my fingers in the Nor and thoroughly rubbed it into his pubic hair.
While Anna played with his dick, I rubbed it on his testicles slowly and
gently.  They had retracted with Anna's handiwork so it was easy for me to
rub it back between his legs.  I made him squirm when I slid one finger
back and rubbed Nor on his asshole.  When I signaled finished, James tried
to pull his leg and almost got kicked in the face.

   "Wait, damn it," Iain said.  "Anna's not finished with me."

   He looked at her expectantly.  She wrapped her hand around his dick
again, slid the foreskin down tight, leaned over, kissed it on the tip, and
then took it in her mouth for a second.

   "There, little dick," she said.  "I hope you feel all better now."

   Iain rolled out of the chair and then he and James looked first at Anna
and then at me.

   "I'll let you guys do me next," I said.  "Let's let Anna take a break.
She's been doing some hard work."

   I crawled in the recliner, held the Nor above my navel, and spread my
legs so my balls could hang down like Iain's.  Anna moved around so she was
standing between my legs with her hands on my knees.  I thought Iain and
James could give me the treatment rather quickly.  I was wrong.

   "Oh, shit, he's got another hard-on," James said, staring at my penis,
suspended over my abdomen.

   "Yeah, damn, it's another big sucker, I mean fucker," Iain said, looking
at my penis too.  "You hold it out of the way and I'll rub the Nor on his
hairy patch."

   "Not me, boy!  I'm not going to touch that thing!"

   "It won't bite you."

   "I know but it might spit on me."

   "I don't know why you guys are so afraid of it," Anna said.

   She pulled my penis upright, then leaned over, took about half of it in
her mouth, began bobbing her head up and down, then sucked on it.  I looked
at Iain's face and then at James.  They both registered the same
unbelieving astonishment.  I lay there enjoying what her lips and tongue
were doing to my penis and waiting to see what she would do next.

   She straightened up.  "See!  It didn't bite me!  It didn't spit on me!
Iain, you hold it.  James, you rub the Nor in."

   I glanced at Aimee's monitor and saw that she was watching intently,
with one hand raised to her mouth as though she might be trying to hide
laughter.  I waved at her and she waved back.  She was grinning at the
antics in front of her.

   Iain held my dick the same way Anna had held his.  He wrapped his hand
around it in the middle of the shaft, held it upright, and slid his hand
slowly up and down.  James rubbed my pubic hair and then my testicles
thoroughly with Nor.  Anna stood there at the end of the recliner grinning
at me.

   "Iain, if you make it spit on my hand, I'm going to make you lick it
off," James said.

   "Don't blame me," Iain said.  "Blame Anna.  I think she almost sucked
the stuff out of his balls."

   "She can suck it out of mine anytime she wants to," James said, leering
at her.

   "Yeah, mine too," Iain said.  "You forgot to rub it on his hairy
asshole."

   "I'm not going to touch that thing," James said.  "It might bite me."

   "Shit, I'll do it.  I always wanted to give him the finger."

   And give me the finger, he did, rubbing my asshole hard enough to make
me start squirming.  I grimaced and squirmed theatrically a little to give
him some satisfaction.

   I was having fun but I thought it was time to let the two of them do
Anna.  I wanted to do her myself but I also wanted to see how they were
going to handle her.  I rolled out of the chair and moved to the foot of
the recliner.

   Anna didn't need to be told to get her butt in the chair.  She took the
Nor from Iain and held it on her stomach.  Iain and James looked at me
again.

   "OK, you two can do her," I said.  "You get on each side of her.  I'll
just direct the operation.  Start with her underarms.  Then each of you do
one of her legs.  Start at her ankles."

   I thought Anna was going to squirm out of the chair when James and Iain
started rubbing the Nor in her armpits.  She closed her eyes and relaxed
when they were doing her legs.  There was a little growth of hair on her
calves and less on the outside of her thighs.  I knew from experience that
there was almost none on the inside of her thighs.

   When they rubbed the stuff on her thighs, Anna spread her legs wide
enough so that her pussy was fully exposed.  From the way Iain's and James'
heads were turned, I knew what they were looking at.  The last time I had
seen Anna her pubic hair had been trimmed into a neat patch on her mound.
Now it was bushier and extended further to the sides.  Where her mound
curved back between her legs, the two halves had been smooth and hairless;
now there was a little curly hair.

   Anna raised her knees, tilted her pelvis to expose everything to them,
and then put her hand over her pussy for a moment.  "Aimee said that stuff
won't burn or hurt if you get it on sensitive parts but I don't want to
find out.  Just make sure you don't get any on the inside of me."

   Both Iain and James kept looking between her legs.  I wondered which one
would touch her first.  I bet on James and I was proved right.  He started
rubbing Nor on his half of her split mound and a few seconds later Iain
started rubbing too.  I looked at Anna's face.  She had her eyes closed and
was smiling wide enough to make her dimples appear.

   I knew Anna had a little hair around her asshole and again I wondered
what the boys would do.  They didn't do anything.  Both of them looked at
me and I could tell they didn't know whether to touch her back there or
not. James pointed at her asshole.

   "You've got to do that too, James," I said.  "Iain rubbed that stuff on
my asshole and it didn't burn.  You or Iain have got to do it before the
job is finished."

   James held his Nor-covered finger an inch or two away from her anus. 
"What if she farts and blows my hand off?" he said, grinning at his own
humor.

   "Shit, if you get any closer, she'll blow your head off," Iain said,
grinning too.

   "Women don't fart," I said.  "They pass gas silently."

   I looked at Anna's face and then at Aimee's and I could tell they were
both trying to hold in laughter.

   "James, you do it!" I said in my Command voice.  "That's an order!"

   "Aye, Aye, Captain," he said, getting the service branch and the rank
both wrong.

   He slid one Nor covered finger between her cheeks and rubbed it around
and around.  I think Anna deliberately faked how erotic it felt to her. 
She squirmed and groaned more than I had.  Finally she sat up and looked
around.

   "I pity any woman who has to put up with you three little boys," she
said.

   We spent fifteen minutes lying in a row on the hot rock surface of the
terrace just outside the door.  Anna lay down first with her knees raised
and her pelvis tilted to expose everything to the sun.  Iain and James lay
down on each side of her with their knees raised like hers.  I had not
thought about them having hairy assholes and, when I looked, I couldn't see
any on either of them.  I thought of making one of them move over and then
decided to let them enjoy being close to her.  I lay down beside James and
raised my legs like the others.

   With the heat from the rock under me and the heat from the sun beaming
down on me, I was quickly drenched in sweat and ready for a shower.  When
Aimee called time, I sat up and looked at Anna and the boys.  They were
sweating as much as I was.  I stood up, helped Anna up, and we all made a
mad dash for the showers.

   We crowded under two adjacent shower heads and washed each other and
watched as our pubic hair went down the drain.  The three of us guys had
all lost our erection in the sun but, even drooping, I saw that we hadn't
lost much in size.

   I saw Anna checking us out while James and Iain and I checked her out.
James looked like a hairless pre-pubescent kid except for the size of his
penis.  Iain looked more like a man than a boy since his exercise routine
was beginning to show results but he looked odd with no pubic hair.  I
don't know how I looked to the others.  I thought I looked strange too but
I liked the clean feeling, just like I liked to be clean shaven on my face.

   Anna was even sexier since her pubic hair didn't hide her cleft.  With
all her curves she was an absolutely perfect woman.  The top of her breasts
curved downward to her nipples and the underside of each was a perfect
quarter circle.  Her abdomen was flat, maybe a little concave on top with a
sweet little swelling below her navel.  And then there was the beautiful
little mound with the beginning of her cleft.  I loved looking at it.  My
dick loved looking at it.  My mouth loved looking at it.  I wanted to get
down there and explore her hidden secrets.  The more I looked at it, the
more I wanted to do it, like immediately.

   I picked her up in my arms and walked over to the drying area.  She
didn't resist.  She just kissed me on the cheek and smiled at me.  The four
of us stood there until most of the water from the shower was blown off.

   "What are you up to, David?" she asked.

   "Nothing," I said.  "I just thought I'd take you to bed and play with
you."

   "What about Iain and James?"

   "I'll send them to check the rabbit snares.  Or maybe I'll send them to
pick the garden.  Or maybe I'll invite them to play with us, if you want me
too."

   "I don't mind if they play with us.  I think it would be fun.  But
there's one thing they can't do."

   Iain and James were both watching and listening to us.  Both shook their
head up and down and smiled as wide as possible.

   "What's that?" I asked.

   "It's what we're going to be doing tonight.  I'm going to fuck you until
you can't get it up anymore."

   "Is that before or after I fuck you?"

   "Do you think it would be OK if I invited them to play with us, just
play, without fucking me?  I know I'm not ready for that yet and I may
never be.  What do you want to do?"

   "What was it you said?  `Tu voulais un minou rasé?' Yeah, I want a
shaved pussy.  I want to eat a shaved pussy.  Que c'est doux!"

   "I meant what do you want to do about James and Iain?" she asked. 
"Should we invite them or not?"

   "Yeah, let's invite them.  You can probably think of something they can
do while I've got my head between your legs."

   James gave Iain a high five and both stood waiting.

   We invited them and got two enthusiastic responses.  I carried her out
of the bathroom to our bed chamber, with them right at my heels.  Then I
positioned her where I wanted her while they stood on each side of me,
grinning like jackasses and stroking their dicks.  Perhaps they wondered
why I arranged Anna so that she was lying on the side of the bed with her
legs half off and feet on the floor.  When I stuffed a pillow between her
feet and got down on my knees, maybe they got the idea.  I looked up at
them and pointed to one side of Anna for James and the other for Iain. 
Then I quit worrying about what they were going to do.  I thought Anna
might find some use for them.

   I bent over, lifted Anna's legs under the knees, and splayed them to the
sides.  That left her shaved pussy, or rather bare pussy, before me in all
its glory.  But I didn't want to have to hold her legs while I had my face
at her pussy.  I shifted them to my shoulders so her feet were resting
sideways on my back and her thighs were still wide apart.  That was what I
wanted, to be able to use my hands and mouth down there.

   For a moment I just looked at it, my face almost between her legs.  It
was so damn neat: hairless, not even any stubble, just a smooth mound that
curved back between her legs.  Without any hair, the little shaft leading
to her clit looked longer.  Her little lips were parted just a bit and I
could see the inner pink flesh.  I looked at the scene for a moment and
then lowered my head and gave her a long lick from her puckered hairless
asshole, up through the little lips, all the way over her hidden clit.  And
then I did it again.  And again.  Anna began wiggling and moaning softly
with each lick.

   After a while I looked up to see what James and Iain were doing.  They
were both on their knees on the bed bent over Anna with their hands and
mouths on her breasts and nipples.  Anna had her arms extended under their
bodies with her hands cupped under their testicles.  Both their dicks
looked like they were as rigid as they could possibly be.

   I started loving Anna's pussy again.  This time I extended my tongue as
far as possible and probed her vagina again and again.  Immediately, I
smelled and tasted her arousal and the scent and taste went straight to my
penis and testicles.  I wanted her.  Damn, I wanted her so much.  I didn't
want to wait `til tonight.  I wanted to fuck her now.  I stopped
tongue-fucking her, took a few deep breaths, and tried to get myself under
control.

   When I looked up again, I saw Iain and James still bent over Anna, with
their hands and mouths on her breasts but she now had her hands wrapped
around their penises.  While I watched, Iain moved up and kissed her.  It
looked like both had their mouths open.  James slapped Iain on the shoulder
and then took a turn kissing her.  All the while, she pulled on their dicks
again and again.  She wasn't jacking them off; she was milking them off.

   I shut my eyes again and went back to licking her pussy, concentrating
this time on the area where her little lips came together, trying to pull
the hood off her clitoris so I could lick her little nubbin.  I could tell
when I succeeded.  I felt a hard bump under my tongue and Anna started
squirming more.  I licked it again and again.

   I felt two hands on my shoulders and looked up.  James was kneeling
beside me on one side and Iain was standing on the other.  I knew they had
been watching what I was doing.

   "Let me do it," James said.  "I want to."

   "Let me do it too, David," Iain said.  "Aimee's showed us a movie on how
to do it but I want to learn so I can do it to Caitlyn."

   "Anna, is it OK if I let James and Iain do it," I asked.  "They both
want to learn."

   With Anna's permission, I showed them how to do it.  I used my thumbs to
stretch her inner lips to each side and then pushed up slightly.  Anna had
taught me that little trick to bring her clitoris out of hiding.  I gave it
a few licks and then looked up at James.  He shook his head to show that he
understood and then we changed positions.

   I stood there, slowly stroking my penis, while James gave her a good
licking.  From the way Anna groaned and squirmed, he must have been doing
it right.

   "That's good, James," Anna whispered.  "So good."

   Iain stood beside me watching for a minute or so and then put his hand
on James' shoulder.  I let Iain do it for a minute or so while Anna moaned
and wiggled some more.

   "You're good too, Iain," Anna whispered.  "You three fuckers are just
too goddamn good.  Caitlyn's going to love you when you do it to her."

   "OK, you guys go back to what you were doing," I said.  "Let me finish
her off."

   They both crawled back in the bed, kissed Anna, even kissed each other
with an audible smack, and simultaneously put their mouths back on her
breasts.  I knelt between her legs, lowered my head, closed my eyes, and
started licking her clitoris and everything around it again.

   When I looked up again, Iain and James were upright, still on their
knees but not bent over Anna any more.  While I watched, she changed her
grip, pulled them closer to her by their dicks and both of them knee-walked
up to her.  She turned to James, took his penis in her mouth, sucked on it
for a few seconds, and then gave Iain the same treatment.  Then she changed
her grip again and started jacking both of them at the same time.

   I went back down on her again and concentrated on her clit, licking it
as hard as I could.  She started squirming and moaning again and from the
way she reacted I knew she was getting close to coming.  I stuck my index
finger in her pussy, pulled it out, stuck two fingers in, curled them
around and rubbed them against her vaginal walls.  Then I resumed licking
her little nubbin.  In seconds, I felt her internal muscles clenching and
relaxing on my fingers, a really strong squeezing.

   "Be easy, Anna, I'm going to come if you don't stop," I heard Iain say.

   "Me too," I heard James say.  "You're about to break my dick off."

   I looked up and saw that she had stopped stroking their dicks and was
hanging on to them while she came.  After a moment, her hands started
moving again and I marveled that she could jack them both at the same time
and do it with such coordination.  Iain and James were leaned over her a
little bit, their hands on each other's shoulders, their heads butted up
against each other.  Their eyes were wide open looking down at what Anna's
hands was doing to them and their faces looked like they were in sweet
misery.

   James came first and squirted out a little bit on Anna's breasts.  Iain
came seconds later and laid down a white trail across her breasts from the
opposite direction.  I decided to join them.  I moved up on the bed on my
knees between Anna's spread legs.  Her pussy was open and red and
juicy-looking almost under my penis.  I wrapped my hand around my penis,
gave it hell for a few seconds, and squirted out again and again, the first
flying up to her breasts, the next to her stomach, and the last dripping
down on her pussy.

   When I was through, I looked at Iain and James.  They were still on
their knees but they had their own hands on their dicks now.  I watched
them both as they milked their dicks down and a little bit more came out of
Iain's and dripped down on Anna.  James milked his too but I didn't see
anything come out.  I milked mine down and then flicked my dick down and
back up rapidly to make the last blob fall on her.

   Anna was grinning so wide her dimples were showing again.  While we
watched, she rubbed her breasts with both hands, then her chest and
stomach, and last her pussy.  She smeared our semen all over her while the
three of us guys watched and grinned.

   "Iain, James, would you two go get some warm washcloths and clean up the
mess you made?" she asked.

   I lay there in the bed on my side with my head propped up on my hand and
elbow and watched Iain and James gently clean up all our semen from Anna's
chest and stomach.  They brought me a washcloth and Iain pointed to Anna's
pussy to let me know that was my job.  When we finished, they looked at me
and I assumed they wanted me to tell them what to do next.

   "Would you guys like to relax with Anna and me for a while before we go
prepare something to eat?" I asked.

   "Yeah, I'd like that."

   "Me too,"

   "Then ask Anna if she would like for you to cuddle with her for a few
minutes," I said.  "Always make sure your woman wants you to be with her
before you do anything else."

   Of course they both asked and, as I knew she would, Anna smiled and
welcomed their attention.

   "OK, Anna, would you lie down between Iain and James and let them spoon
up to you?" I asked.  "I'll wait for tonight to get my turn."

   "What do you mean...spoon up to her?" James asked.

   "Dummy, he means for you to hug up to her from behind," Iain said. 
"You'll like it when you sleep with your woman."

   "OK.  What are you going to do, Iain?" James asked.

   "I'm going to spoon up to her first," he said.  "You lie down in front
of her and wait for her to turn over.  Just try to be good, dummy."

   "Well, if I'm hugging Anna's butt, I can't promise to be good," James
said.  "If I get another hard-on, what do I do about it?"

   I thought I'd better help the poor little dummy.

   "Nothing," I said.  "Anna's felt me behind her with a boner.  We want
you to cuddle up behind her and hold her.  That's all.  Every time a
hard-on calls, you don't have to answer it, at least not right away."

   "If he gets a hard-on, I'll take care of it," Anna said.  "James, do you
know how a nurse takes care of a patient with an erect penis?"

   "No."

   "She thumps it right on the head!"

   "Ooooh, hot damn!" James said." Don't do dat to me!  Do dat to Iain!"

   "Noooo," Iain said.  "Do dat to David!  He likes it!"

   I let them get into position first and then I lay down too and propped
up on my elbow so I could see the three of them.  As I expected, Anna took
Iain's hand in hers and placed it on her breast.

   "Anna, would you do something for James, you know, something you did for
me one night to help me go to sleep," I asked after a minute of so.

   "I'd love to, David," she answered.  "James, would you scoot down just a
little?"

   I watched as he moved down on the bed until his face was near Anna's
breasts.  Iain had his hand on one and I could see the nipple peeking out
between his thumb and index finger.  Anna cupped her hand under the other
one and offered it to James.  He didn't need to be asked; he took the
nipple in his mouth.

   When Anna turned over, neither of them needed to be told what to do. 
James scooted up to Anna's butt and put one arm over her with his hand on
her breast.  Iain moved down on the bed and took the nipple of the other
breast in his mouth.

   We lay there until we all decided that we needed to go pee.  When I told
Iain and James that Anna wanted us to dress for dinner from now on, they
both frowned.  When Anna told them she meant dressed in just a loin-cloth,
they both grinned.

   We all helped to prepare our evening meal.  I grilled the fish while
Anna sautéed potatoes and onions in olive oil.  Iain sautéed slices of some
huge mushrooms he and James had found.  James made a big pile of tomato
slices and arranged a nice platter of raw vegetables.  Anna was as
impressed as I had been at how much Iain and James ate.

   After dinner, we all went to pick the garden again and visited
Lightening before we came back home.  My mind was on what I wanted to do
with Anna and I assumed that the two of us would be occupied until late.  I
didn't want to have to get up the next morning to check the rabbit snares
and I thought I could trust Iain and James to do it.

   As we were crossing the terrace on our way back, each of us carrying a
sack of fresh vegetables, James had a question for me.

   "David, why don't the rabbits get in our garden?"

   "And why don't the birds peck our tomatoes?  Let's go ask Aimee," I
said. I had asked her before I started the garden but I wanted the others
to hear her answer.

   We left the vegetables in the kitchen and then went to Aimee's room. 
She was dressed, or rather undressed, differently again.  She had on a
loincloth like the rest of us.  Two young boys got to see how beautiful her
breasts were again.  I looked at Anna's and then at Aimee's.  Both had
beautiful perfect breasts but it was no choice.  I liked Aimee.  I loved
Anna.  I could touch Anna's breasts.  I wondered if Anna and Aimee were
alike in another way.

   "Aimee, would you mind removing your loin-cloth for just a second," I
asked.

   She grinned and slowly removed it.  Her mound was now as hairless as the
rest of us.  She looked so young and virginal with her little cleft
showing. She slowly tied her loincloth around her waist again, grinning all
the while.  I glanced at Iain and James for a second and saw where their
eyes were fixated.

   "Aimee, James has a question for you," I said, and she looked at him.

   "Aimee, why don't the rabbits eat our vegetables and why don't the birds
peck our tomatoes?" he asked.

   "James, I thought David might have already told you.  It is because I
protect your garden.  I cannot protect it from insects because some of them
are needed for pollination but I protect it from anything larger."

   "Tell them what else you protect, Aimee," I said

   "I protect the entire mountain from dangerous wild birds and animals,"
she said.  "On the mainland, there are many animals which could harm you. I
maintain a barrier where the isthmus meets the mountain to prevent any of
them from coming across.  In the air, there are large raptor birds which
might attack you.  I maintain a shield over the entire mountain against
larger birds."

   "What are the most dangerous animals, Aimee?" I asked.  "Tell us a
little bit about the three most dangerous, please."

   "Perhaps the most dangerous are the pigs, David.  The boars can weigh
twice as much as you and have tusks that can cut you down and kill you. 
The sows are much smaller but they are just as dangerous, especially when
they are defending their young.  They are omnivores and they will eat you
after they kill you.  They frequently try to cross the isthmus to the
mountain.  They like to scavenge on the isthmus."

   "Damn, I was hoping for some barbequed ribs," I said, jokingly, trying
to wipe the horrified looks off three faces.  "I guess that will have to
wait."

   Aimee continued, "The next most dangerous are the bears.  Males can
weigh three or four times as much as David.  Females are about half as big
and just as dangerous when they have cubs.  They occasionally try to cross
the isthmus."

   "The next most dangerous are the cats.  There are three different
species in this location.  The biggest weigh about as much as David whether
they are male or female.  They rarely try to cross the isthmus.  They
prefer to remain in heavily forested areas."

   "Thank you, Aimee," I said.  "I've been thinking about an excursion out
on the isthmus.  I wanted Anna and Iain and James to know what we might
encounter.  They need to practice using weapons so they can help defend
ourselves."

   "Are you seriously thinking about it?" Iain asked.

   "Yeah, I think the four of us can cope with any danger we encounter. 
The first time, we're not going to venture far out on the isthmus and
Aimee's shield will be behind us so we can run back to it if we need to."

   He looked at James and Anna.  "Do you want to try it?" Both nodded.

   "When we go, we'll stay in a triangular pattern, with me always at the
point, toward the danger, James on my right, a little distance back, and
Iain on my left, the same distance back.  You must be ready for danger from
the ground or from the air.  You'll need to carry a spear in one hand and
another weapon in the other.  If Anna goes, we'll put her in the middle of
the triangle.  She must carry weapons too."

   "David, don't treat me like that just because I'm a woman," Anna said,
with more than a little anger.  "I want to do the same thing they do.  I
want to try different weapons until I find the ones I can handle best."

   "I'm sorry, Anna," I said.  "I'm used to being with just Iain and James.
I promise not to make you do the washing and ironing."

   She smiled at that.  I don't suppose we would ever worry about ironing
anything again.

   "I'm trying to make up my mind about a little expedition outside Aimee's
protection," I said.  "I've been thinking of how I could take one of the
little piglets.  I don't want the sow because she's too big to carry home
and we need to leave her alone to create more little porkers but I'd love
to get one of her little ones so we can have roasted suckling pig."

   "Yeah," James said.  "I love pulled pork sandwiches.  We just need some
bread and some barbeque sauce."

   "David, please let us help you," Iain said.  "We can learn how to
protect ourselves and how to kill animals for food.  We've got to learn
stuff like that.  We've got to start doing it some time."

   "Seriously, I would like to explore the isthmus at least a little," I
said.  "There's no cover so we should be able to see any dangerous animal
easily.  I think we could already defend ourselves against a single threat.
Maybe we just might be able to get a little porker and get back behind
Aimee's barrier.  If we go, all of you will have to do exactly as I say."

   "We will," James said.  "Let's go."

   "OK, if you'll all do what I say and let me teach you how to handle
weapons, we'll go in about...twenty days."
