After the impact of Cassandra's story, Eric was certain that Beverly, despite being older than Cassandra, couldn't top it. Eric was finding it difficult maintaining distance, or a diagnostic perspective of his subjects.
"Hold on Beverly, let me get something to drink for all of us." The women eagerly restrained themselves; like Pavlov's dogs, they were trained by the music to do as he wanted.
Eric took his time driving to the local store, getting a few fifths and packs of pop. He used that time to breathe deeply, to concentrate on relaxing the muscles that threatened to tense to the point of explosion. He would not, must not, use these girls for more than their information, their data. Eric had no clue what a woman in the heat of total desire was capable of.
When he entered the room and saw all of his subjects writhing on his bed, their fingers dangling at their thighs, clutching themselves madly to keep from touching their desperate need, he realized that he was torturing them.
"We need to stop girls. I don't want to hurt my subjects β I just intended this to beβ¦a way to get information from you all, not hurt you." Eric really was a gentleman, deep down inside.
The women responded unanimously; they not only loved the transformation he incited but wanted more. The tease, the temptation of merely being in his presence had them more excited than they ever had in their entire lives; they needed him desperately. Eric, not quite sure how to react, settled for calling Beverly forward to tell her story. As wriggly as an eel in her tight outfit, Beverly scooted forward on the bed and began her tale.
In her younger days Beverly had been blessed with an expansive family, a brother, sister, uncle, father, mother and grandparents. Unlike most people though, her family all lived beneath the same roof.
"We were rich, my family; we had invested in Microsoft at an early stage and bailed out right before the disputes began boiling up over infringement laws and such. Unfortunately, a newly rich family doesn't quite fit in with the poor, middle class or other rich people at all. They viewed us as having, "new money" as opposed to their old money or as being suddenly snobs. As a result I had to spend more and more time with my younger sibling, Alex.
Alex, at the time, was 18 and I was 20. We were both in the prime of our lives, I looked much as I do nowβ¦and he, a tall redhead with a body that Greek Gods would drool over was the object of all the girls' affections. Until we became rich, that is.
