Chapter Four - Meeting the Council
The day was growing old as the four of us went back out and did some shopping. I wouldn't let Andie use her talents at acquiring things without paying for them, not with Mandy with us. I had money, enough to buy them all a new wardrobe. We went from shop to shop, window shopping until something was seen that would look good on one or the other of the three beautiful women in my company.
Lots of sexy outfits were purchased along with sexy night time things and sexy dress up wear. Sexy was the word of the day. When we returned to the apartment, the phone was ringing. Andie answered it quickly and spoke low so Mandy wouldn't hear. When she hung up, she had an excited but concerned look on her face. I left Lisa and Mandy to sort through the clothes.
"What up?" I asked her as I got close. She pulled my by my arm, taking us further away from the other two.
"Madame Teresa is on her way with a few people in the High Council." She said, her face becoming serious.
"High Council? What the hell is that?" I asked.
"It's just a group of Telepaths, very strong telepaths that oversee things. Making sure there aren't people out there doing harm to others. They have their fingers into everything. Madame Teresa told them about you. If you're what she thinks you are, then they are gonna come here and try to read you. They'll want to take you away from us." She said, her face becoming worried.
"Don't worry, I wont be leaving you. I don't care what they say. I don't care what they think about me, I wont be leaving." I said as I pulled her close.
"You know, even if you're not what they say, you're still my Master." She said as she buried her face in my chest.
"Let's just wait and see what happens when they get here." I said. She leaned back and smiled.
"What did you do to Lisa? I can't control her anymore." She asked.
"She asked to be free. I set her free. She remains here because she wants to. She gave me the option to control her, much like you did. I chose not to, citing that I wanted her willing to be my Slave. She's here because she wants to be, not because she's forced to be." I said as I looked into Andie's eyes. A look of shame came over her.
"I don't want her to hate me Tom. I love her." She said, a tear coming to the corner of her eye as they watered up.
"Don't worry, she loves you too. She just wants the choice. Love her still and she will return it in kind, because she wants to." I said.
Andie and I stood there for a few more minutes before there was a knock at the door. I sighed.
"I guess it's show time." I said. Andie pulled away from me and waited until I was with the other two before opening the door.
"Madame Teresa, welcome!" She said with a bright smile.
"Hello Andie my dear. I would like you to meet some friends of mine." She said as the five came in. Two women and two men entered behind Teresa dressed in business attire. They looked like they could be CEO's of major corporations.
Introductions were made on both sides and we turned into the living room. When everyone was seated, I asked Lisa if she wouldn't mind going out for some ice cream.
"Get my favorite, you know what it is." I said. She started to say something but I stopped her mentally. "It's strawberry. This isn't something I want either of you here for. I'll explain later. She smiled.
"Come on Mandy, lets go get us a treat!" She said with a smile. Mandy and Lisa got up and left quickly, leaving us to business.
"So, what can I do for you distinguished looking folks?" I asked. They smiled.
"To be honest Tom, Teresa has brought us some promising news about you. We're here to see for ourselves if it is true." A man named John said.
"Well John, if you're here to do the same as Teresa tried, be my guest. I'm gonna guess that you're a pretty powerful telepath so it shouldn't be too difficult to dig up my bones." I said with a smile. Chuckles went about the room and John turned to me.
"Ready?" He asked.
"As I'll ever be." I answered. Then I saw his spark. It grew brighter and brighter until beads of sweat started to form on his brow. Finally, he stopped.
"I can't. I can't break through. Tom, are you trying to stop me or putting a shield up?" He asked.
"No. Should I be?" I replied. Wondering if it would make it harder.
"No, no! That's quite all right! To be honest, I am strong, but as this continues with the other three, they are stronger than I. Joseph is the strongest and if anyone can break through, it will be him, but, for the sake of experimentation, let's just go in order if you don't mind." He said with a smile. He turned to the woman sitting next to him. A woman in her late forties and not bad looking smiled at him and turned to me.
"Are you ready Thomas?" She asked me. I smiled.
"Sure. Anytime you're ready, go right ahead!" I said. She smiled and closed her eyes for a second then reopened them and the spark was intensely bright. She wasn't starting slow, she just jumped right in. I opened my mind completely, waiting for something to happen. I looked at her, really looked at her and focused on her eyes. Within seconds, I was reading her mind and seeing her struggle to read mine.
She pushed harder it seems than John did. Her body was reacting to her pushing her powers out like John's, she started sweating at the brow first then the temples. I watched as a trail of sweat started to form down the side of her face and onto her neck. I noticed her neck now, it's smooth white skin, perfect. I wondered to myself what her breasts looked like. Instantly, her face flushed and she stopped trying and looked to the floor.
"I can't! He was reading my mind even though I threw up everything I could!" She said. She smiled at me. "Keep that train of thought Thomas, you just might find out!" She said and sat back against the couch, opening her suit jacket and undoing the top three buttons of her blouse to let some air in.
"Nice try Sofia. You were pushing hard, I could tell and I wasn't thinking about anything till I saw that bead of sweat." I said with a sly smile. She took a handkerchief out of her pocket and started to dab at the sweat. "Who's next?" I asked as I looked to the other woman.
