One of Paxton's guards pointed a phase pistol at her head. Suddenly the door was opened and a guard shoved in Trip's beaten up body. Blood ran down hi... face."I should have known it," Paxton growled. "It is time for you to learn that Terra Prime does not make empty promises, Mr. Tucker." What have you done to him?" T'Pol asked sternly.Without answering, Paxton tilted his head towards the guard and the tall black man pointed his phase pistol at Elizabeth. The beam cut through child and mother. I kissed her and said, “That’s exactly how I feel.”“How would you like things to work out Paul? What I mean is what’s your ideal relationship; is it as the husband in a monogamous marriage or the Alpha male in a group marriage?” Yumeko asked.“I’m totally conflicted about it Yumeko. Right now, I think I could keep all four of you happy, and god knows I want all of you. I don’t want to give any of you up. But as I get older I’m not going to be able to give the kind of physical loving all of you. I swept Loni off her feet and, with my arms under her upper back and legs, carried her down the hall to the master bedroom, where we stripped and fucked frantically – twice – before falling into exhausted sleep.Three weeks later... “With all this Christmas and New Year’s stuff behind us, we can now finally get back to our regular schedule, Lover,” Loni said softly into her cell phone.“You mean, like our ‘play schedule’?” asked the man on the other end of her call teasingly.“Yes, Marcus,” she. She looked enviously at Julias chest, noticing for the first time the size of her boobs. Sophie suddenly really wanted to be Julia. She thought that if she looked like Julia she would be able to get Luke, if she wanted. She fervently hoped that the older lady could make her into the woman she wanted to be. Julia greeted her warmly, and the two started to chat, even more freely than they had done on the bus during the week. Conversation flowed better without the self-consciousness of wondering.
