Chapter 15
Lonny had been living with Gene and Gilda for almost six months and many things had happened to them all during those months. They had had parties, couples, girls for Lonny, all kinds of games. They had moved all of Lonny's equipment over from his bedroom and rebuilt their "bedroom including the bed. They had made it so that it was enormous and now could sleep eight comfortably.
There had been much laughter when they had decided to make it over, and they wondered if they would really have the orgies the bed obviously was made for. Gilda had to sew all the sheets and covers for the pillows and bedspreads. She had to make lots of everything and therefore decided that they should have the best of everything. She made satin sheets, velvet sheets, silk sheets, fur covers all the most luxurious materials available.
They made a whole new smoked mirror wall and covered it in exactly the same manner as Lonny's old room. They enlarged the whole house so that they could have a play room as well. But it was a very special play room. It had rubber matting on the floor, swings from the ceilings, trampolines, pools, and bars to be tied to. All the equipment for slightly decadent sex. And they enjoyed it, too, occasionally with others who understood their fun.
Everyone knew that Lonny and Gilda's brother, that he lived with her and Gene, and that they were all balling. They wanted people to know because they were proud of it-they thought it was a good way of life. They didn't say that everyone should do it, but they said that it could be done and showed people how. They felt that everyone should be allowed to live the way they wanted to live as long as it wasn't hurting others or involving unwilling people.
Occasionally someone would criticize them, but not too often. Helen made her husband move out of the state when she heard what Gilda and Gene and Lonny were doing, but no one really missed them. Gene still went to the office, but not too often these days since he inherited a large enough sum of money. Lonny and Gilda had always been well off and Lonny had made a killing in the market some years before, so they both were free to do whatever pleased them.
They had all been looking for a girl for Lonny, although it might even have meant that he would have to leave them. Lonny now felt the need for someone of his own, it would never stop him from seeing Gilda and Gene, but he wanted to know that he had someone who cared about him. He wouldn't even have minded if she wanted to see other people also. So far, though, they had no luck.
Gene, meanwhile, couldn't believe that he could be so happy. He felt as if someone had said they were going to give him a new lease on life and had kept the promise.
Gilda had everything that she had ever wanted. She couldn't want anything more unless it was for a woman for Lonny, but she wanted the woman to be able to live with them, so that they had one more to share with. The trials were finally over, and justice had been severe, both men received the maximum sentences.
One day Gilda and Lonny were sitting around the yard, talking quietly to each other about-nothing in particular, when they heard the car door slam and the sound of running feet. They knew that Gene was home and they assumed that he was very excited about something. He came rushing out into the yard, a grin plastered on his face from ear to ear, and the feeling of joy exuding from him.
"My God, Gene, what on earth did you run into?" Gilda said, laughing.
"You look like- a young boy who has just lost his cherry," Lonny said, joining Gilda in the laughter.
"Well, not exactly, but I do have a guest coming over tonight," he said, looking quite smug.
"O.K., Cheshire cat, what's the big deal?" Gilda asked.
"I think I'm going to let it be a surprise for you both-I think that you will like it though."
"I gather it's someone he thinks is very special," Lonny commented, "unfortunately, as we all know, that could be almost anybody."
"You're so right," Gilda agreed.
It was almost seven o'clock before the mystery guest arrived, and by then the excitement in the house was at such a level that Gilda could hardly get dressed, and she noticed that the others were having trouble also. Then the doorbell rang. She thought that she would be just fine if she could only get back into her skin. She ran to the door and opened it-then stood there in shock. It was the last person in the world that she expected to see.
"Come in Lady Margaret," she tried not to stammer.
Just at that moment, Lonny came bounding down the stairs.
"Hey Alysa, this is a surprise! I've been back to that place a dozen times and have never found you ... I was wondering where you disappeared to after leaving that note."
"Alysa?" Gilda sounded puzzled. She knew who Alysa was to Lonny, but she never would have thought that the woman that she knew as Lady Margaret and the one Lonny knew as Alysa were one and the same.
At that point, Gene came up to Lady Margaret-Alysa and said, "Good evening, Cary-are they as surprised as I said they would be?"
"Oh yes, and then some. I do think that it was worth everything in the world just to see the expressions on their faces."
"All right you two, what's the big joke? Would you mind telling Lonny and me so that we can laugh, too," Gilda closed the door and walked to the livingroom.
"It's all very simple," Cary said, "I met Gene today in the office, it's one of many companies that I own, and I remembered him from a very glorious night. Well, we got to talking and he mentioned that Lonny was living with you two, now. I told him that I knew Lonny under another name and another story and I promised that I would explain everything when I got over here tonight. So you see, Gene really is as much in the dark as you all are."
"O.K., I'll buy that," Lonny said, "so tell us already, what is the story of your life and is that really your own name-the Cary one, I mean."
"Yes, Cary is my real name and I was married, but my husband did really die not too long ago. I was under a great deal of pressure when you met me, Lonny, mostly from lawyers and such who wanted me to give up the companies that my husband had owned. They thought that I couldn't handle them because I was a woman and they were almost too much for a man.
"I finally convinced them that I could do perfectly well and have proved it, I think. Anyway, when you met me, Gilda, I was living with a man who thought that he was going to get a lot of money from me. I must admit that I was playing with his head a little, but then I found out that he could play with mine a lot more. The only trouble with his games were that they were getting more and more dangerous as the days went along. I didn't mind finding myself in another time era or thinking that I was somebody else, but when people began to disappear from the face of the earth, I got a little nervous.
"At first I thought that you two had done just that, but today settled that fear. See, often we would get somebody from the companies that I had and invite them over for fun and games. I knew that Gene had joined the Club so it was perfect for me to call and invite you over to the house. I had always liked Gene just from seeing him at work from a distance, and I knew him to be a good and gentle man. So I was perfectly willing to have you all come over. What I failed to see was the people that Sir Robert, as he most often called himself, was picking, were the people in the highest positions of the companies that I owned.
"When I finally put two and two together I called the police and had him picked up. He was a brilliant man, but he hadn't counted on the fact that I would find out what was happening. He thought he had me under his thumb and that I would never figure it out He didn't really know me that well.
"After that it was trying to piece everything together, from the businesses, to my personal life, which was in a state of seige at that point."
"I have only one question," Gilda said. **How did he manage to get other people to see the same visions that you saw, or that he had you seeing. Because I know that I don't remember that night any too well myself and I know that Gene doesn't either. We have had long talks about it and we have tried to figure out what happened, we have gotten essentially nowhere for our efforts."
"I know that it must have seemed very strange and a little frightening if you are at all like other people and for that I apologize. It wasn't so hard to get you to see, hear, think, smell, or touch what we did. Most of it was produced by sound effects and the effects were heightened by a drug that I would slip into your drinks. It is a highly suggestive drug and between what we said, the way we dressed, the sound effects, the smells that were piped through the rooms,, and the things that were projected onto the walls, ceilings, and floors, you didn't have a chance of thinking that you were in the twentieth century."
"What a set-up," Lonny gave a low whistle, "You could really bamboozle somebody that way!"
"Yes, you really could. You see, it wasn't the drug mat caused the effect, it was the suggestion, I mean about the people disappearing. They were told that they wanted to leave the earth for good, and that's what they did.
"I had to check with my lawyers to find out if I was guilty of murder or not. Luckily, I found out that I wasn't, but enough evidence was found that proved that Sir Robert was, so they arrested him."
"Cary, please, I want to talk to you for a few minutes, alone," Lonny said.
"Sure, Lonny," she replied and followed him out of the room.
Gene held up his crossed fingers to his wife and she knew what he meant because she had her fingers crossed, too.
Lonny took Cary into the bedroom and sat her down on the bed.
"I know this may seem a little too soon to ask, but I really knew way back then and didn't have a chance to ask and I'm not going to risk having you disappear again before I get another chance.
"Will you marry me? Or if not that, will you come live with us and be my lady?"
"Lonny," Cary said, taking off her clothes and throwing them to one side. "I would be pleased and honored to become your wife. I wanted you to ask me then also, but I couldn't because of everything else. Now I can, and I do accept."
With that she tore Lonny's clothes off of him and shoved him onto the bed. She took his already hard cock into her mouth and began to suck on it.
"Come on in," Lonny shouted out to Gilda and Gene, "The water's great in here."
They didn't need a second invitation to join the party-they were already running down the hall.
