Lisa Ch. 08a: Evil

"Um, sure. I guess. If you like them all that much, and they all like each other that much."

"That's kind of the thing. I'm not sure if Don, Stan and Caleb even know Quinn." Amanda said.

"And Quinn is going to be willing to come to your clan?" Jessica asked, "That's how it'd work, right?"

"If we became serious, yes. I don't think we'd all go to his clan. What's wrong? You look worried." Amanda asked when Jessica began gnawing on her lip.

"It's just that these kinds of relationships are tricky. They require a lot of commitment, honesty and communication and I wonder if the dynamics of Quinn the new guy with Stan, Don and Caleb, three friends, would support something like that."

"Hmmm. I guess I can see how that could be a problem." Amanda said and looked disappointed.

"But you won't know until you try right?" Jessica asked.

"How would you even bring that up with them?" Justine asked.

Amanda shrugged. "Just put it out there ..."

"Aren't you afraid it may turn them off?" Sara asked.

Amanda shrugged again. "If it does then they're not the men I thought they were. But ..." she added, smiling at Jessica, "given what they 've seen here, I can't imagine them not wanting to at least try it out."

"And the sex!" Justine said, "Do you want to have sex with four men at the same time?"

"Shhh." Amanda said looking around to see if any of the men heard Justine. "I have no problem with that." She said in a near whisper.

"It may not turn out to be all that you think it will." Leah said in a grim tone.

"I thought you were enjoying it now." Jessica said in surprise.

"I am, I am." Leah said, "But there are still some things I can live without."

"Well, I enjoy all those things." Amanda said.

"You and Quinn?" Sara asked.

"Yup, we've got a good thing going there." Amanda said.

"Well then, go for it." Jessica said. "If your men have any questions I'm sure my men could help them out."

"Excellent. Thanks." Amanda said.

"So ..." Jessica said, "Corey is dating you ..." she said to Leah, "Chris is dating you," she said nodding to Justine, "Sean, is with Sara and Don, Stan, Caleb is with Amanda. What about Mark?"

"Mark?" Leah asked.

"Yeah. All of the men in your clan are accounted for but him. Isn't he going to be lonely?" Jessica asked.

The girls looked at one another.

"I hadn't thought of that." Sara said.

"I kind of thought that he liked me ..." Justine said, "but he hasn't asked me out or anything."

"Maybe he has a girl in another clan?" Jessica asked.

The girls shrugged.

"I'm not aware of anyone." Justine said, "Do you think it's going to be a problem ... Mark not having a girlfriend?"

"Maybe not. But I'd be lonely if I were him. With everyone else paired off." Jessica said.

"I'll ask Corey, maybe he knows if Mark is seeing anyone." Leah said.

Suddenly a low buzzing noise sound. The girls looked around, Leah shifted a little on the sofa. Jessica assumed it was a cell phone, but the sound continued, sometimes getting louder and then softer.

"Is that you?" Sara asked leaning closer to Leah. Leah shifted on the sofa again and her face flamed red she nodded.

"It's not a phone." Justine said.

Leah shook her head and when the sound suddenly got louder, Leah practically jumped off her seat.

"Is that a vibrator?" Jessica whispered.

Just as Leah's face looked like it would turn fluorescent red a second buzzing noise began and Leah jumped in her seat again.

"Two vibrators?" Jessica added.

Despite looking like she wanted to crawl under a rock, Leah nodded.

"Why ....?" Sara asked looking completely bewildered.

"Corey's training me." Leah said, "Oh!" she exclaimed when both buzzing sounds erupted into much more powerful sound and judging by the expression on Leah's face, force. The sound quieted and Leah caught her breath. "He wants me to learn to cum faster. If he turns it on with the low setting and then turns it off I'm supposed to fantasize myself to orgasm. If he turns it on to low but leaves it running I'm supposed to go to the bathroom and masturbate. And if he turns it on high ... he'll meet me in the bathroom and take care of things for me."

"Wow." Amanda said.

"But, two of them?" Sara asked completely baffled as to how that would work.

Leah nodded, "One in my pussy, the other, my anus. He, ah, thinks I need to loosen things up ... there."

Just then the sound got louder again and Leah jerked on the sofa.

"I'd better go." She said and scrambled off the sofa. Her legs had trouble working properly as the buzzing sound increased again.

"Dinners ready ..." Scott said arriving at the sofa just as Leah had taken a few steps.. He lifted one of the two plates he was carrying.

"Just put it on the coffee table for her." Corey said as Leah stumbled past Scott.

"Here you go." Scott said, placing Leah's plate on the coffee table and passing Jessica hers. "Do you want any salt or pepper?"

"Thanks, and no thanks." Jessica said. Scott pecked her lips and headed back to the kitchen. Jim and Josh brought the remaining plates for Sara, Justine and Amanda and then kissing Jessica on the head, also returned to the kitchen.

"We never get served at home." Sara whispered.

"Do you think it's because of the sex?" Justine asked Jessica.

"I guess there's only one way to find out." Amanda said when all Jessica could do was shrug. "Well, is it that horrible to suck and whack them off if you get treated like a queen for it?" she added when Sara and Justine looked horrified.

"That is when things got better for me." Jessica said.

"Wow. I don't really know how to do all of that." Sara said.

"Me neither." Justine said.

"Leah has some information that we lent her and Corey. Ask her to borrow it." Jessica said.

"Corey went back there with her ... " Justine said looking around the room and not finding him.

"If I can get Quinn, Don, Stan and Caleb onboard, I wonder if they'll want to do it at all sorts of times and places." Amanda said looking toward the table where the three sat eating and joking with the other men. "I get excited just thinking about it."

Amanda's words reminded Jessica how much she enjoyed being with her own men. Jessica sat studying her men. Angus noticed Jessica's inspection, calked an eyebrow at Jessica and winked when Jessica blew him a kiss.

"I guess it wouldn't be hard to enjoy sex with Chris." Justine said ogling Chris.

"Now you're talking." Amanda said.

A few minutes later Corey returned from the bathroom. Not long after Leah did too.

"Here's your dinner." Jessica said indicating the plate on the coffee table.

"I'm not hungry." Leah said and didn't look happy at all.

"What's wrong?" Sara asked.

"All Corey cares about is making me suck ... perform oral sex. He spent all of a couple of minutes on me and then had me on my knees. Would you believe he wants me to put dildos in my mouth so I learn to not gag? And when I can't do it he insists that I use my hands. I swear my hands are going to fall off. I don't understand how you keep up with that for five men." Leah ended, looking at Jessica.

"Actually, the men don't really focus on that." Jessica said, "They don't!" she added when both Leah and Amanda rolled their eyes in disbelief. "Is it really that bad?"

"Yes." Amanda said. "I'll be the first to say that sex between Quinn and I is great. But, he does want that a lot. A lot , a lot."

"Oh." Jessica said.

"And your men don't?" Leah demanded.

Jessica shook her head. She was beginning to realize that what the men did for her, and what they expected from her, was not the norm. It dawned on her that she should appreciate it more rather than argue and try to force them to let her pleasure them.

"So all your men care about is your pleasure?" Leah asked.

"Pretty much." Jessica said. Looking her men over again, she felt a warmth in the pit of her stomach. They loved her and proved it to her in so many ways. But the one way she hadn't been aware of until now was in the bedroom. And of course she couldn't possible look at her men without her body reacting. Damn her period and damn the lack of privacy. She wanted them more than anything. Angus noticed her looking again, and interpreted her expression correctly. Elbowing Riley, Angus nodded his head in Jessica's direction. Riley looked over, and so did Scott, Jim and Josh. Scott wagged his tongue at Jessica and he looked so silly she couldn't help but laugh. Jim and Josh jumped in with wagging eyebrows and lewd leers. Riley shook his head at their antics and mouthed, 'love you'. Angus puckered his lips and mouthed, 'later.'

"I'm sorry Jessica. I know you went through hell to get to this stage of your relationship with those guys, but I want what you have. They joke around, they listen to you, they care about your happiness ... in bed too ..." Leah said, "I want that. I'm tired of cranky, mean men who care about nothing but themselves."

Jessica thought back to all the times that she saw Corey, Sean and the others. Not once would she have classified them as cranky or mean. And everyone had known that Riley and Angus were pretty mean in the old days so she was pretty sure it would have been obvious to her. There had to be some major disconnect between how they behaved here and how they behaved at home. In either case Jessica wondered what kind of effort the women had put into improving their situation.

"You know, none of this just magically happened." Jessica said, "There was a lot of hard work put into building our relationships so they worked for all of us. There was a lot of negotiation, give and take. You'll only get out of it, what you put into it."

"Well, they don't listen to us. They tell us what to do and we're expected to do it with no argument." Leah said.

"So what are we supposed to do with that?" Sara demanded.

"I guess you need to find a way to make them listen." Jessica said.

"Make them listen. Hmmm." Amanda said. Sara, Justine and Amanda stared at each other as they seemed to rack their minds for ideas on how to get their points across.

"I'll be back." Jessica said heading to the bathroom.

As she passed the table she noticed that in addition to Sean, neither Rick, Abe, Jim or Josh were at the table with the other men. She and Angus made eye contact as she went by and he gave her a knowing smile. Jessica smiled back. She couldn't deny it, when Angus looked at her she melted inside. Riley had just finished his dinner, put his knife and fork on the plate and pushed it away, when he looked up and met her eyes. Scott was in the middle of a conversation with Chris and he looked up too ... both gave toothy grins that made Jessica's heart jump and an overwhelming yearning between her legs. She wasn't watching where she was going and walked into what felt like a brick wall. Two solid arms slid around her and caught her when she bounced back. She looked up to see Josh smiling down at her, a twinkle in his eye that made it clear that he didn't mind the situation in the least.

Neither did Jessica. She slid her arms around him and pressed up against him hard.

"Well, hello there." Josh said and slid his hands down to cup her butt.

"Hi." Jessica said in a breathless whisper. She felt out of breath and she couldn't stop staring at Josh's lips. She had the strongest urge to bite his lower lip.

"Everything okay?" Jim asked from beside her and Josh. Jessica blinked. Jim had come from the bathroom and without thinking Josh slid his hands up from Jessica's butt to her hips and Jim slid in behind her, pressing up against her. Jessica leaned her head back against Jim's chest, ran her hands up Josh's chest, and sighed. "How are Leah and Sara doing?" he rumbled into her ear.

"Getting themselves pretty worked up." Jessica said giggling and tilting her head into Jim's when he nuzzled her neck.

"Oh, and you're not?" Josh purred into her other ear and kissed the other side of her neck causing Jessica to giggle and tilt her head against his.

"Yes ..." Jessica whispered, her lips fluttering over Josh's as he hovered them right over hers. "But it's not the same kind of worked up. How about you? Are you getting anywhere with Corey?"

"Hardly." Jim said sliding his cheek back and forth against hers.

"Are they really that mad?"

"I think some things were said that shouldn't have been." Josh said kissing her collar bone over her shirt, "Both Corey and Sean feel betrayed."

"Because they're dating each other's sisters?" Jessica asked absent mindedly running the fingers of her left hand through Josh's hair and the fingers on the right through Jim's. "That hardly seems worth feeling betrayed over. You guys have had way more reason to feel betrayed than that and you've worked through it. You should tell them that."

"That may have to wait." Jim said. "Sean is pretty pissed at us for outing him and Sara."

"What?" Jessica demanded straightening and causing Josh and Jim to straighten with her. "That was me not you guys." She said looking over her shoulder at Jim and getting momentarily distracted by the longing she found in Jim's eyes.

"It was Riley's decision to tell." Josh said leaning in to kiss her neck.

"No." Jim said. "He really didn't have a choice."

"What do you mean?" Jessica asked. Jim was doing that double jointed thing with his face again ... his lips slightly upturned but his eyes, so serious, so hungry that Jessica felt like she was being sucked in to them. Their intensity worried Jessica for a moment but then they shifted slightly and seemed to sparkle while his smile broadened. "None of us have a choice. Unless there's some impact to your well-being, we can't say no to you. Your wish is our command ..." Jim said and leaned in to kiss Jessica.

"But, Riley had to think it was the right thing to do ... to say something about it. He wouldn't do it if he thought it was wrong ..." Jessica said.

"You thought it was the right thing to do, right? So, Riley did too." Jim said and he couldn't help but smile at the expression on her face. Her power over them seemed to disturb her.

Jessica turned back to Josh who kissed his way up to her cheek. He leaned back and looked at Jessica when she cupped his cheek with her hand.

"If you thought it was wrong to say anything about Sean and Sara you would've have kept quiet, right?"

Josh shook his head and he had the same expression on his face that he'd had when he'd had his breakdown. Kind of an entranced, devoted puppy look. Jessica's stomach dropped when she realized that Jim had the same expression. Panic overwhelmed her. Had Jim wigged out too? She turned back to look at Jim when from the direction of the kitchen table someone cleared their throat in a loud and emphasized way. To Jessica it sounded like Scott.

Jessica, Josh and Jim looked over at the table. Scott had obviously been the one to clear his throat. He, Riley and Angus all looked like they'd rather be involved in their conversation than sitting at the table with the others. And their expressions were the same as Josh and Jim's. Jessica's mind raced. What did that mean?

Scott motioned Josh and Jim over with his head.

And then Jessica noticed Corey, Chris, Caleb, Stan, Mark and Don looking over too. Remembering what they'd overheard from the night before, Jessica looked away, feeling her cheeks heat up.

"Were you going to the bathroom?" Josh asked, rubbing his hands up and down her arms. "See you in a bit then." He said, kissing her forehead, when Jessica nodded.

"Later." Jim said, kissing the back of her head and smacking her bum before she scampered down the hallway.

"That was a conversation?" Chris demanded from Scott when Josh and Jim took their seats. Scott rolled his eyes at Jim and Josh.

'Sorry' Jim mouthed.

"Damn. I want conversations like that." Stan said.

"Conversations and sex." Corey said slamming his fist on the table. "I need to know how you got Jessica to like giving pleasure as much as receiving it. Leah acts like I'm asking her to clean a toilet with her tongue or something and it's fucking frustrating."

"I've already given you everything you need." Scott said when Chris, Corey, Stan, Dan, Mark and Caleb had bounced their expectant looks around from Riley, Angus, Jim and Josh, causing Riley, Angus, Jim and Josh to look to Scott for help. Chris, Corey, Stan, Dan, Mark and Caleb looked to him too. "And we won't go into details. That's just not appropriate. But the one thing I will ask is how much attention are you paying to your own pleasure rather than hers?"

"What? I take care of her ..." Corey said.

"Ah huh. Well, 'taking care of her' isn't good enough. If you want her to want to please you, then your only goal should be to please her. Blow her socks off over and over again and it's just a matter of time before she wants to do the same for you. Trust me."

"Really?" Caleb asked and looked completely dumbfounded.

"Okay." Jim said scanning their faces and surprised to find that Corey, Stan, Don, Caleb, Mark and Chris all looked surprised by this news. "I guess I haven't had as many sexual experiences as you guys but you make it sound like women don't usually care much for some sex acts."

"Hand jobs are usually no big deal, but blow jobs ..." Don said, "You may get it the first time but then they start to crinkle their noses and act all shocked that you want them to actually swallow. I mean, we don't get all squeamish about eating out their pussies ..."

"Yeah, but you enjoy that. Your pleasure that just happens to coincide with theirs." Scott said.

"So this is common?" Riley asked Scott.

"Oh yeah. Common complaint number one." Scott said, "Why do you think so many men go to hookers?"

"I guess we're pretty lucky then." Angus said.

"Fuck yeah." Corey said.

"Maybe we shouldn't be trying so hard to dissuade her." Angus said.

"What we're doing is right." Scott said, "The last thing we want is to make her resent it."

"Dissuade her?" Corey demanded, "Did you just say you have to dissuade her?"

Just then the front door opened and Sean came in.

He cast a dirty look in Corey's direction and then stalked over to the sofa where the girls still sat.

"You're done dinner. Now go home." He growled.

"No." Leah said.

"What the fuck!" Sean thundered and dragged Leah from the sofa by her arm just as Jessica came back into the living room.

Jessica stopped and took in the scene. Just as Sean had grabbed Leah the men at the table had shoved back their chairs and moved into the living room. They all looked tense, including her men, which made Jessica feel queasy.

Jim spotted her out of the corner of his eye. He motioned her over and Jessica gladly slid under his arm and pressed tight against him.

The other girls had jumped to their feet.

"Let her go!" Sara yelled and gave Sean a shove.

"Sara!" Corey said stepping closer.

Leah's eyes fell on Jessica and Jessica was confused by the look of resolve that settled on Leah's face.

Leah stuck her chin up at Sean and yanked her arm free.

"You don't own me Sean. And this isn't your house. You can't kick anyone out of it. I'm ... we're ..." Leah said motioning with her head to the other girls, "are tired of being treated like second class citizens by all of you men." She said casting her eyes over Sean, Corey, Stan, Don, Chris, Mark and Caleb. "We want to be treated with the same respect that Jessica gets. You don't see her being sent home like some naughty little kid, or getting dragged around by her arm. And her men cook for her. So we're not going anywhere until you promise to treat us differently."

"Maybe if you acted more like Jessica ..." Corey muttered earning him a horrified look from Leah. And when Leah's face turned red, Sean glared at Corey.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sean demanded, turning away from Leah and looking like he was ready to pound Corey into the ground.
