Firstly an apology for not having written anything in the Modified saga fir a good while, but I wanted to spend a little time thinking about the direction of the story and ultimately how to finish it. I also wrote a couple of other pieces as a means of exploring other ideas with Jack still as the central character, plus starting a completely different piece in another genre. The short of all that is I got distracted, plus real life got busy and complicated which took up most of my energy. But I hope you enjoy this and the following chapters over the coming weeks. As always, your feedback is welcome. Enjoy!
*Thursday*
Although Jack and Angela had gone to bed around 10pm, they'd fallen asleep almost immediately following a fun and energetic afternoon with Christine and Sinead. Whilst normally a very sound sleeper, Jack was aware that Gemma and Felicity were arriving at some point, and whilst he had given them the code for the front door, he wouldn't be truly relaxed until he knew they'd got there safely. Thus it was about 3am when he heard the front door open and close, he got up to check and welcome his guests.
Jack had pulled on a pair of shorts, and quietly slipped out of the bedroom and made his way downstairs to greet Gemma and Felicity with a warm hug for each. He offered to make tea and let them relax a little and tell the tale of their journey. They'd had a technical problem with their aircraft which meant they were delayed taking off, which was then compounded by bad weather and an unplanned refuelling stop in New York. Thus they arrived very late in Orlando and it had taken nearly 2 hours to clear the aircraft, then customs and immigration.
"Poor Felicity was working standard class and they were not a happy bunch I can tell you. But that's the job sometimes, and because we worked an extended shift, we get an extra couple of days off here. Not travelling back until Tuesday now, so I hope we're okay to stay till then."
"Of course! You must be exhausted now, so you might have heard we've got some extra guests staying at the moment, so all the bedrooms are being used. The couch in the living room pulls out, but you're more than welcome to bunk up with Angela and I. Best to have a proper bed and a good night's rest."
So off to the master bedroom they all went. They found Angela naked on top of the covers lying face down with her head turned to the door. They quietly slipped out of their uniforms and hung them up properly, before each taking a few moments in the bathroom to remove makeup and join them in bed. Felicity spooned in beside Angela, who gave a semi conscious greeting and rolled over to face her and offered a gentle kiss, which was reciprocated.
Gemma was the last to come out of the bathroom and turned off the light, and tip toed to the bed. The bedside lamp ensured he could see her gorgeous naked form right up till she slipped under the sheet beside him, when the lights turned out. Of course seeing Gemma's sexy naked body had the expected effect on Jack's member, but as both women were obviously exhausted he didn't pursue the matter, instead nestling the swollen cock in between Gemma's bum cheeks which got an appreciative moan, and a promise to do something about that later.
A few hours later, Jack woke and saw the clock showing 6:30. Some time during the night he'd ended up facing Gemma, who was still very much out of it and needed more snooze time. His cock hadn't got the memo and was in its usual morning stiffness, so he quietly and discretely slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom and started a shower. Ten minutes under the warm water brought him around, and after towelling off in the bathroom, quietly got dressed for a day at the lab and went downstairs.
He found Fiona and Jane already downstairs, the crumpled towels evidence of a very early morning swim, and he bid them good morning with a kiss and a hug which were warmly returned. Jane was starting breakfast but Jack got them to sit at the counter and let him prepare it for them. They quietly chatted about their plans, which seemed to be mostly topping up tans and costume shopping. Jack served coffee, orange juice, toast and some pancakes with syrup which were eagerly accepted. Laura, Andi, Debbie and Georgia soon appeared and Jack was cooking up a storm, though very ably assisted by Georgia who eventually persuaded him to sit down, as it appeared she didn't like anyone else messing around in her kitchen! Their pick up was due at 8:30, but long before that Natalie and Julia had appeared, his lawyer once again the coiffed professional ready to support him.
Their transportation arrived bang on time and they were soon whisked away to the labs where Emily met them in the lobby and brought them up to a conference room where the rest of the project team and Scarlett were already waiting, and she started the session.
"Good morning everyone. I think it's fair to say we had an eventful, but very productive session in the test lab the other day. Jack, I want to thank you for participating in a rather unusual experiment, but without that it would not have been possible to get the data that we have acquired. Our thanks also to Christine and Sinead without whom nothing would have happened."
She paused briefly, then went on to show some slides with data that had been captured on the day, as well as some baseline data from the earlier lab sessions.
"What we now know is that when you are aroused Jack, you emit something in the range of four to six times the normal level of pheromones that a healthy male in his prime might expect to. What's interesting is that your body doesn't seem to show any debilitating effects, such as especially elevated pulse or respiration beyond what would be expected during intercourse, so your body is now adapted to this. It is your new normal. Thee has been comparatively little research done on human sex pheromones, and so it's an area ripe for much more pure science."
Jack nodded as he took all this in. There were a couple of questions from the people round the table, but Jack could sense they were circling round a core challenge. He tried to summarise it.
"So Scarlett we're hypothesising that something in the combined treatment has reacted with my body in a very specific way, which has caused changes to me. It's made me emit much higher levels of chemicals to attract a potential mate, it's somehow made my sense of smell very sensitive to female arousal so that I can be sure that I have reciprocated interest. We obviously know about the penis growth over a remarkably short period of time, so is it possible that on a biological level, my body has adapted to make me more likely to propagate my genetics? That something has triggered this series of changes in me, but not in others."
"That's actually a pretty good summation Jack. We think that the combination of the drug and gene therapy have indeed triggered a very specific response in you, but so far only you. As part of our licensing requirements we've had to note your condition to the authorities so that we can continue to test and develop the treatment as it was intended, that is for certain urological conditions. As for the broader interests, if we could identify which specific pheromone from you is triggering the response in females, we'd have something that the perfume industry would kill for. If we could understand how to trigger the penis growth then we'd have something truly transformational in the field of sexual dysfunction."
"I think that's understood Scarlett. Debbie was suggesting that you might want to consider some form of MRI scanning to give you some neurological data too."
Scarlett smiled at Debbie and said that was an excellent idea and they'd need to schedule time at another facility to do just that. For now they'd like to return to the hotel suite and do another couple of sessions to build up the base of data they'd collected. Jack nodded, and asked that they organise it through Christine again, and they'd confirm dates. They'd also have some comparative sessions of the 'put two horny students in a room' kind to collect normal level activity.
After an hour or so of further discussion, the session broke up for coffee. Jack quietly chatted to Natalie, indicating broad assent for further experimentation. He approached Scarlett after a few minutes.
"You seem a little bit happier today?"
"Well yes. We know more than we did before, we've got clear plans of action to further explore the physical science, plus some supercomputer DNA analysis running in the background. I think I've got enough to keep our Exec bought in to supporting more work, as the prizes are substantial."
"I'm pleased. I hope you'll find the time to properly recognise Debbie's contribution here. I know she looks like a prototypical bimbo, but she is remarkably intelligent.. You could do worse than have her work on other of your research activities once this is all over."
"Oh don't think I haven't noticed Jack. Laura has also been incredibly helpful in setting up our clinical labs and documenting those experiments. I have to be honest, I thought you were asking to bring them here as your fuck toys, I really did. I honestly didn't care at the time because we got you to participate, but damn if they're both not super smart and real assets to the project. Very easy on the eye too..."
They both laughed at that, and Jack felt very comfortable in her company and in the work they were doing.
"One last thing Scarlett. We're having a party at the villa on Saturday. Fancy dress required. Debbie and Laura would like to invite you and the rest of the team along, so is it okay if she does that when we reconvene? It might get a little wild..."
"This team needs to let their hair down, so that sounds wonderful. I know you'll have heard what happened in the monitoring room the other day, so let's give people a chance to get acquainted in a social setting."
The session reconvened and Debbie made the announcement which got an enthusiastic welcome. She announced that all costumes had to be approved by her to prevent embarrassing duplicates, but secretly Jack reckoned that she just wanted to make sure it was properly sexy. Jack whispered in Scarlett's ear with a couple of suggestions that had her giggle.
"My Jack, you are a
naughty
boy. They're not bad suggestions though, but I was thinking of something couple themed for Maria & myself. Don't worry I will make sure that Debbie approves our choices."
The sessions finally broke up, and Jack was asked to permit the team to collect more samples. Blood was drawn and urine provided, but he was left alone with Emily as the others discretely left the room.
