Loosening Up Bk. 09 Ch. 31-35

Danica looked up. "Should I take my stories down?"

Dave adopted a confused look. "Maybe, yes. We particularly don't want somebody that watches the reality TV show making the link of the stories to the show. If they do, they'll quickly match up many of the characters in your stories with real people on the show. After that, who knows what would happen."

"I'll get the site to remove them as soon as possible."

Dave offered, "Work over the stories and remove the obvious links to the Circle and to the people in it, and then repost them. You had one with me and Rose. We were just too identifiable. You can fix that, I know. Take it on as a literary challenge."

"I'm sorry," Danica said.

"Apology accepted. Only a few of us know about the stories. I'll tell Aaron what you plan. If you want an editor or beta reader for the edited stuff or even some of your new stories, let one of us know. I like your work."

"Thank you."

Dave changed subjects, "How's the seduction of Mitch coming along?"

"Any minute." Danica brightened and grinned.

"Have Mitch read one of your early stories. I think that'll cinch the deal, especially when he realizes that you're the girl in the story getting all that cock. He'll want to be providing some of it."

"Thanks for the idea. I'll do that right now. I do want him to be a loving companion besides Toby. I don't think he's as worried about the competition as Chet is. To tell the truth, given what he knows about the Circle, I'm surprised he hasn't hit on me. I'm about to make a big hit on him, however." She grinned as she walked away. She looked back over her shoulder and added, "Maybe right now!"

Danica came over to Dave's table at dinner and told him the stories had been removed from the website. He just gave her a wink and she went back to where she'd been sitting with Mitch, and some of the others in the Freshman Group. Dave couldn't imagine anybody telling her 'No'.

The next morning Dave and Odessa were running the omelet preparation station, taking turns while they also chatted up their 'customers'. About nine a.m., Danica led Mitch to the table they were using, and they ordered their custom breakfasts. Dave noted that Mitch looked happier than a clam in the mud flats, and Danica had that freshly fucked glow about her. He gave her a surreptitious wink and she winked back. She's achieved her mission and now had a second boyfriend.

Danica came back a few minutes later and whispered to Dave, "Mitch wants to pledge the Circle. He's sold on the philosophy, our activities, and certainly on me."

Dave agreed and off she went.

A few minutes later, Toby arrived at the Circle breakfast with Jocelyn hanging on his arm affectionately. This time he was the one that looked happier than usual, and Jocelyn the one that had that freshly fucked glow about her.

As the two stood at the omelet station ordering, Jocelyn said to Dave, "You can probably tell that Toby and I fell off the cliff together. I'm glad I did. I really am enthused about learning what it's like to live in the Circle, so I guess you can also count me in as a new pledge - if you'll have me."

Dave smiled, "Oh, we'll have you and welcome. I'm glad you seem to like what we provide. I think you'll find you've only scratched the surface of what this place is like."

Jocelyn said, "I agree. Every time I visit, I've discovered ten new things I love about this place and the people in it. I never paid attention to the airport until this past week, and yesterday Rose told me about the martial arts class and how what she'd learned help save her from three dumb asses that thought they'd fuck around with her. I want to sign up for those classes."

Dave smiled, "Rose can bring you. I think there are actually about twenty-five of us officially taking the class, but the typical class size is around fifteen due to other commitments we honor. I hope to see you on Thursday evening."

"Are you a black belt, or anything like that?"

Dave laughed, "I am not a black belt. I only have a green belt after two years mostly because I've missed so many classes. I think I might get a blue belt very soon, however. The black belt may always elude me. I can't be as dedicated to the sport and the discipline as Wan Suh wants of his students at that level. Rose is more dedicated, especially since her episode with the three young men a few months ago."

Jocelyn said, "Every woman should know how to protect herself. What about the younger teens in the Circle?"

"Funny you should ask; Karen, my sister-in-law, is planning to talk to Wan Suh on Thursday night about having her young teenage daughter and son join the class. They're thirteen- and twelve-years-old."

"That's probably the ideal time to start, if not even younger." She paused and added, "On another note, you brought up the 'how do I tell my parents' question about the Circle. I really need your guidance and suggestions about dealing with my folks. Misty said her parents would go ballistic if they knew. I have no idea about how mine will react. I also have a younger sister, and I can guess her reaction more accurately."

"And?"

"She'll want to start pledging the moment she hears what's going on and what the sexual benefits are. My guess is that she's working her way through her high school class. She just may show up here in September wanting to do what I'm planning to do."

Dave teased, "And just what is that?"

Jocelyn leaned across the table and kissed Dave. "I am planning on falling in love with about two-hundred people and hopefully have them fall in love with me."
