Lisa Ch. 08a: Evil

"If you'd talk to me I could explain it." Corey said but he looked embarrassed.

Still glaring at Corey, Sean said, "Tell them to get the fuck out of your house Riley. Please."

Riley looked over at Jessica. Her mouth was hanging open and she had that look on her face like she'd been falsely accused of something and couldn't figure out how to prove her innocence. It was clear that she had not been aware of the girls' plans to rebel but it wasn't clear if she supported it or not. Riley could guess though.

"What do you want me to do Jess?" he asked.

Jessica was having a hard time keeping up with what was happening. Somehow she had become the weapon in the disagreement between the girls and the men in Sean's clan. She hadn't wanted to be but she doubted that anyone, except maybe her men would believe that. She was dumbfounded and unable to think until Riley had asked her what to do. The look on his face ... Jim was right. Riley wanted to please her and he was going to get himself into trouble with Sean and the others because of that. She could see the anger in Sean's face as he glared at Riley. She looked around at Scott, Angus, Josh and finally up at Jim and they all looked at her expectantly. That stirred something within her. A ferocious need to protect them ... she recognized the feeling from the incident with Daryl. Pushing away from Jim she stepped forward.

"I've been trying to stay out of your affairs." Jessica said, looking from Sean to Corey and then back again, "I don't know you that well so I figured I should keep my opinions to myself. But that seems to have backfired on me and made Riley look like the bad guy. I was the one who told about you and Sara." She said to Sean, "Riley was just delivering the message for me. And so long as you're not hurting anyone ..." Jessica nodded from Sean to Leah, "no one is being kicked out of here."

She looked from Corey and Sean to the girls and then shook her head. "I don't understand you. You've lost so many loved ones in this war you have going on with the government. And yet, you don't appreciate the ones you have left. Your little sister and your best friend want to be together ..." Jessica said to Sean. "The two people in the world that you love most want to love each other. You should be happy about that, not mad. Corey wanted to tell you about this from the very beginning. But Leah wouldn't let him because for reasons that you never explained to her, you've forbidden her from dating. Anybody. How realistic is that? And rather than being her protector and confidante you forced her to fear you and hide things from you. Does that make sense? And you ..." she said turning to Leah. "have a brother who cares enough about you to, in his own deluded way, protect you. Even from his best friend. That's not something to just throw away. One day he may be gone and you'll wish you took the time to work things out with him. So, this is what's going to happen. It'll be daylight for a couple more hours. We," she said sweeping her men, Stan, Don, Caleb, Chris, Mark, Justine and Amanda with her gaze, "are going outside for those couple of hours. And you four," she said indicating Sean, Corey, Leah and Sara, "are going to work things out in here. Hopefully you can get past your egos and salvage what you had. That's up to you ... but please don't throw away what you have because you will regret it one day."

Jessica gave a quick glance around the room and found stunned expressions staring back at her. Jim and Josh were closest to her so she grabbed a hand of each and began walking to the front door. They trailed along behind her. Outside she stopped. Riley, Angus, Scott, Don, Stan, Caleb, Chris, Mark, Justine and Amanda had followed her out.

"Sorry." She said, "I guess I've got us all stuck out here."

"Not a problem." Chris said looking her up and down, "You gave me something to think about." He added with a smile. "And I'll do it walking the parameter. Justine, do you want to join me?" he added, holding his hand out to Justine.

Justine nodded and took his hand.

"We were going to head into town for the night." Don said, inclining his head toward Stan and Caleb.

"Actually, I was hoping to spend some time with Amanda." Caleb said.

"Really?" Stan asked, clearly surprised and Don looked surprised too.

"Yeah. Um, I kind of wanted to talk to all of you." Amanda said a pink flush coming to her cheeks, "Can we go into town together?"

"Ah ... okay." Don said in a bewildered way.

Jessica gave Amanda a thumbs up when Amanda looked at her for support.

"What was that about?" Jim asked, taking her hand back into his. Josh was still holding her other hand.

"Amanda wants to have a relationship with them." Jessica said.

"Really?" Scott asked.

Jessica nodded. "I guess we make it look appealing. But, there's kind of a wrinkle. She also wants to include Quinn ... from Tristan's clan?" she asked.

"We've heard of him." Riley said.

"That sounds ..." Scott started.

"Tricky." Angus finished for Scott.

"Yeah. I told her it may be awkward given that Quinn would be the odd man out. I think they may need your help with that." Jessica said.

Riley nodded his head while stepping forward and cupping Jessica's cheek with his hand. "Are you okay? I hadn't meant to put you on the spot like that."

"I'm fine. I guess I got a lot off my chest." She said with a smile.

"I'm sorry that you miss your brothers so much." Angus said. He sounded so sad, and when Jessica looked at him it was obvious that he was forcing himself to maintain eye contact with her.

"We all miss somebody." She said. "So." She said exhaling and looking around the front yard, "What do you want to do for the next few hours?"

"You mean aside from the obvious?" Scott asked wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"Yes, aside from that. I have my period, remember?"

"Painfully aware." Josh said.

"I got a request to stag out Ebony again." Scott said. "I figure that since it'll be a while still before you can ride Jess that I may as well do it. So, I should get him over to the client's farm. I'd invite you along Jess but the client is a member of another clan. I think it's better that you stay off his radar."

"I won't argue about that." Jessica said.

"We'll help you out." Jim said, and Josh nodded agreement.

"Got some work to do on the car." Angus said, "Wanna give me a hand? And it'll be friend time, promise." When Jessica looked at him skeptically.

"I'll check on the dogs." Riley said when Jessica moved to Angus' side. "See you in a bit."

*******************************************************

"They're still talking." Josh said jogging off the porch. The sun was going down and he'd just stuck his head in the door.

"Justine and I may take a trip into town then." Chris said. "Maybe go home for the night. If they're here," he tilted his head toward the house, "And you're staying, right?" he asked Abe and Rick who both nodded, "Then you should be covered for tonight. Right?" He asked Riley.

"Go ahead. See you tomorrow." Riley said and smiled when he noticed that Justine and Chris were holding hands.

"We'll be fine out here." Abe said, "We'll do a couple of rounds of the parameter. When they finally call it a night, we'll come in."

"That just leaves us." Jim said. "We can't very well setup our mattresses in the living room with them still there."

"We could setup in the basement." Angus said, "Plenty of room there."

"Not a good idea." Jessica said. "There's no way out of there ... believe me, I know." She said when the men looked at her in surprise.

"We can go out the way we came in, I'm pretty sure." Scott said with a laugh.

"We can't count on that if there's a fire." Jim said catching Jessica's drift.

"Or an attack." Jessica added.

"Good point." Riley said.

"We can unlock the window." Angus suggested.

"But the only one who could fit through that would be Jessica." Riley said.

"So what option do we have?" Scott demanded. "There's no way we'd fit those mattresses in one of the bedrooms."

"If we take the bed and dresser out we could." Josh said.

"Let's do it." Riley said.

"I'm going to unlock that window downstairs." Angus said, "There's no reason to keep it locked now." He said by way of explanation, "And it could be a good escape route for Jessica." He added, pulling Jessica into his arms. Jessica went gladly and snuggled into his chest.

"You look exhausted Jess." Jim said when she peeked out at him from Angus' embrace. "Why don't you take a bath while we get setup."

Jessica nodded. She was feeling pretty tired.

They were barely noticed by Sean, Corey, Sara and Leah while they snuck in and through to the back of the house.

Jessica was surprised by the lack of blood she found on her pad as she undressed. Normally she bled like a stuck pig. No pain and no blood, definitely the oddest period she'd ever had. She sunk into the water, feeling relaxed despite the sounds coming from the hallway as the men dragged the bed and dresser out of Riley's room. Not long after the men came into the bathroom.

"We're ready. Whenever you want to come out." Jim said but to Jessica's pleasure he looked like what he wanted more than anything was to get into the tub with her. The other men did too.

"Jess." Riley said, "I know you find it gross but we really don't care if you're bleeding while we have fuck. And we really want to fuck. Do you think you could live with it ... if we did ... fuck? Right now?"

Jessica felt a shiver of anticipation tingle over her.

"I'm not bleeding much." She said, "If you don't care then neither do I."

"Excellent." Scott said locking the bathroom door before hastily dropping his pants. Soon all the men were naked. Scott climbed into the tub with Jessica. "Angus, put a towel over the side of the tub. Jess, lean over the side, your ass on the outside." Scott said. "Jim, Josh, in here with me. You two work her breasts, and hold her by the back of the knees so her legs are spread. To avoid embarrassment Jess, you're going to suck me off while you orgasm. No screaming okay? Keep your mouth on my dick. Angus and Riley, one of you eat her out, the other fuck her up the ass."

"With pleasure ..." Riley said rubbing her butt cheek as he knelt down behind her and handed a leg to Jim who was kneeling in the tub, and her other leg to Josh who was on the other side. "You okay?" he asked when she teetered on the side of the tub in a frog like position. She nodded as Jim and Josh steadied her. Each pulled her knee as close to them as they could, parting her butt and pussy lips to their zenith.

"That's what I'm talking about ..." Angus said bring his thumb to her anus and pressing it in.

"Oh yeah ..." Riley said, sliding onto his back under Jessica and looking at her pink, tender meat. "Do you mind if I take the tampon out?" he asked tugging gently on the string that hung out of her hole.

"No," Jessica said breathlessly.

Riley pulled it out and tossed it aside. Jessica sighed when he slid his hand onto her wet meat and then a few fingers into her hole. At the same time Jim and Josh took a breast each into their mouths and Scott slid his cock between her lips. No longer worried about falling off the side of the tub, Jessica slid her hand along the shafts of Jim and Josh's cock, and began to stroke. Pleasure shot through her when Riley's tongue and teeth met her pussy meat and Angus slid into her anus. Jessica began to make noise as pleasure mounted, Angus and Scott pumped, Riley nipped her clitoris, and Jim and Josh bit and pulled her nipples. Scott clamped his hands around her jaw and cheek bones.

"Suck Jess, suck ... no noise. That's it ..." he encouraged and moments later they all came.

Hours later they lay in a tangled mess on the mattresses in Riley's room. They had gone on for half an hour longer in the bathroom changing positions several times. Then they'd come to the bedroom and gone at it like crazy. To Jessica pleasant surprise the men made the hourly test ridiculously easy and she was able to service them without issue every hour. And somehow, she didn't know how, they brought her more intense pleasure than she'd experience before. Barely containing her screams.

Jessica had her arms thrown around Jim. She couldn't help but pulse her pelvis against him, warm swirls of tingling pleasure running through her. She rubbed his ear with one hand and kissed his chest. Angus lay with his head by her thigh, his face pressed against it. Riley, his head pressed against her butt, Josh's, the small of her back, and Scott's her shoulders.

"Jess?" Angus asked. Everyone had been silent and presumably asleep but Jessica kept moving her pelvis.

"Mhmmm?"

"What was the joke that you told Josh? That night Riley and I came home from a job? The last time we went out."

"That was a good one." She said in a dreamy tone.

"Fuck yeah." Josh agreed. The other men, roused themselves to listen too.

"So, there's this old couple." She said in a lazy tone, "They're like ninety or something, and they just get married and go on their honeymoon. They're in their honeymoon suite when the old guy goes for a shower. The bride gets naked, lays down on the bed and decides that she should do some stretching exercises to limber up for the night of sex. So, she puts each of her legs behind one of the bed posts on the bed and then she gets stuck. So the old guy comes out of the shower, takes one look at her and says, 'For God sakes Bertha, comb your hair and put in your teeth!'"

They all erupted into laughter, Josh and Jessica finding it just as funny the second time around.

Jessica felt Angus move away from her leg. Looking up she saw him leaning over her, looking at her face. "Not even light pink this time." He said brushing his lips over her cheek.

"Nope." She said. "Not even my body is embarrassed around you guys anymore."

"Good. That's good ..." Angus said, kissed her cheek and went to lay down by her thigh again.

"We should get to sleep." Riley said. "Terry, Craig and Jay said they'd be here early tomorrow."

No sooner had they said good night then they were all asleep.

****************************************************

Jessica lay panting in the grass. The next morning had come quickly, the physiotherapists arriving at six in the morning.

They'd skipped breakfast and gone out to get on with the physiotherapy. Jessica had been too groggy at first to wonder what had happened with Sean, Corey, Sara and Leah. But after an hour of exercise Jessica waited on the grass while Abe went to the bathroom and Terry went to refill her water bottle. They'd been hesitant to leave her alone but she had convinced them that the brush they were behind made it a well hidden place for her to wait. And as she caught her breath she was beginning to wonder what had happened to Sean, Corey, Sara and Leah. A sound caught her attention and she looked up just in time to see Sean step out of the woods. He was carrying a rifle and he looked just as surprised to see her as she was to see him.

He scanned the clearing and seeing no one around he walked closer to her. He reached behind his back, produced a hand gun and handed it butt end to Jessica.

"I guess I don't have to ask if you know how to use it." He said with a crooked grin, "You shouldn't be out here without protection."

"Thanks." She said taking the gun, "Abe and Terry will be back in a minute."

"I'm glad to see that you can look at me again." He said locking his eyes with hers.

"Oh, that. I'd just found out that you guys heard the men and I ..." she said, her face flaming red, "the other night." She lowered her eyes. "I was embarrassed."

Jessica was surprised when Sean sat down beside her.

"Chris shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry."

"Thanks." Jessica said forcing herself to look at Sean despite her embarrassment.

"I'm glad I have a chance to talk to you alone." Sean said, "I wanted to say thanks for what you said yesterday. It smartened us up, a lot."

"So things are okay?"

"Not completely, not yet. But they will be."

"I'm glad." Jessica said.

"Me too." Sean said. "Corey told me about the jam session he had with you, Scott, Jim and Josh. Do you think you'd do it again? I'd like to join in."

"Yeah. Of course. Any time." Jessica said.

"Sean?" Riley asked, appearing in the clearing with Abe and Terry. His eyes wandered between Sean and Jessica and he seemed to be searching for signs of trouble.

"Hey." Sean said getting up. "Stumbled across Jessica out here alone. Gave her a gun."

Jessica waved the handgun in the air as proof.

"Thanks." Riley said and visibly relaxed. "We're done for the morning." He continued, "And we figured we'd all go out to the pond for a swim. You want to join us?" he asked Sean.

"Yeah, sure." Sean said.

"I've gotta go." Terry said, "But I'll see you tomorrow. Same time."

Jessica was beside herself with excitement all the way to the pond despite the fact that the men insisted she wear a t-shirt and shorts to swim in instead of a bathing suit, and the fact that the men didn't feel that she was well enough to ride alone so she'd had to double ride with Scott on his horse to get to the pond. Sean, Corey, Chris, Sara, Leah and Justine came also and although they seemed to be feeling each other out and gradually adjusting to changes in their relationships, they seemed happy. Mark came also and Jessica still wondered how he was going to fit in to the changing dynamics of the clan. He was partnerless. But Jessica couldn't see any evidence that it bothered him.

Not even half an hour after getting to the pond, Jessica was drowsing in the sun, her head on Jim's lap when she heard horses approaching. Opening her eyes she saw Don, Stan, Caleb, Amanda and a fourth dark haired man who Jessica deduced was Quinn, dismount from their horses.

"Well I'll be damned." Angus muttered beside her and got up.

"I guess they're going to give it a go." Jim said. Jessica got up and so did Jim. Riley, Scott and Josh had just gone for a swim. They climbed on shore dripping wet but moved toward the new arrivals.

All the men converged, each taking turns shaking hands with Quinn. Justine, Sara and Leah had moved next to Jessica and Amanda drifted over too.

"They said yes?" Justine asked.

Amanda nodded and looked back at her men. "They agreed to try. It is a little awkward and I really don't know how it'll work out. I kind of feel sorry for Quinn ..."

"You'll all have to be patient." Jessica said shielding her eyes as the group of men began to drift toward her and the girls.

"Quinn," Amanda said taking his hand, "I think you know my cousins Leah and Justine ... my friend Sara ..." Quinn nodded a hello to each of the girls, "and this is Jessica."

"I've heard a lot about you." He said putting his hand out for a handshake. Jessica took it but couldn't help turn beet red, imagining exactly what he'd heard about her. "It was all good." He said in confusion as she turned even redder.

"It's nice to meet you." Jessica said and was grateful when Angus distracted Quinn by asking about Tristan and the welfare of the other men in his clan.

"I'm sorry." Amanda said when the men had moved away, "I had to tell him about you and your men to explain why I thought our relationships would work. I didn't go into any detail, I promise."

Jessica nodded though she was quite certain that even if Amanda didn't go into detail Don, Stan or Caleb probably had. But she shook off the embarrassment. Looking around the clearing she realized that with the exception of Abe and Rick, the group of people relaxing in the clearing were going to be part of her extended family. She toyed with the notion of suggesting that Abe and Rick be invited also but she wasn't as confident in the probability of them leaving the clan as she was the others. They didn't have a long lasting relationship with her men and that was what she was gambling on being the key to getting them to agree to leave. Eyeing Quinn, who stood talking to Riley, she realized that he too was a liability in the plan.
