"Irene...?"
Mr. Olson prompted a second time with an edgy smile.
"Hmm...?" Mrs. Olson responded distractedly.
"I asked, would you please pass the canapΓ©s to our
guests
?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Mrs. Olson apologized, passing the plate of hors d'Εuvres while stealing a look at the mantel clock for the twentieth time.
Both she and Mr. Olson were trying as best they could to conceal their anxiety from their dearest and oldest friends, the Chattertons, while awaiting the arrival of their daughter and her newest boyfriend.
When Sula had first excitedly let it be known that she'd begun dating this "absolutely fabulous
black
man," the Olsons were naturally taken aback, but trusted that it wouldn't amount to anything, certainly no more than had any of their daughter's other short-lived, loopy infatuations. Surely, Sula would soon come to her senses and find herself a more fitting companion β i.e. someone
white
-- preferably a nice Episcopalian boy, or maybe a Lutheran or Presbyterian.
By all accounts, this new boyfriend appeared to have plenty of money, but Sula had admitted she hadn't any idea what he actually did for a living. For all the Olsons knew, he might be a pimp or a drug dealer -- or, worse yet, a subversive community organizer. But as the relationship dragged on, month after month, it became disturbingly apparent to the Olsons that their daughter wasn't simply infatuated; she had deluded herself into thinking she was actually
in love
with this Damon person.
And now, perhaps, their worst fear was on the cusp of being horrifyingly realized: Sula had orchestrated this first face-to-face meeting at Damon's behest, giddily hinting he might even use the occasion to ask for her hand in marriage. Now, at the eleventh hour, as it were, the Olsons agreed they would've gladly settled for a Catholic or Southern Baptist -- or even, as inconceivable as it once might have seemed, a
Jew
.
Just then, a sleek black Maserati Quattroporte pulled into their circular driveway. Moments later, the doorbell rang and there they were: Sula and Damon.
Well, no question they made a very striking couple as they entered the living room arm in arm. And an even more striking study in contrasts.
Twenty-eight year old Sula Olson was a stunning, blue-eyed, Nordic-looking beauty with flawless skin and natural tow-blond hair in a pageboy cut. At 5-feet 10-inches, she was blessed with an athletic yet sumptuous body: natural 36C breasts, 22-inch waist, and 36-inch hips. She was dressed in a flesh-colored silk camisole edged in black ribbon with spaghetti-thin shoulder straps, and a form-fitting, mid-thigh length black cashmere skirt. Her long, tapering legs were perfect pedestals, set off by 4-inch black leather pumps.
Damon Ogumbu was equally striking in his way: a 32-year old dark-skinned African-American, 6-feet 3-inches tall, with a lean yet muscular physique draped in an exquisitely tailored dark gray Armani suit and black silk shirt. His facial features, while pleasant enough, were far too Negroid for the Olson's liking. His dark brown eyes, however, were strangely compelling... and
eerily
penetrating.
Of course, she would never have divulged such a thing to her parents, but from the outset of their amorous relationship, Sula had been bowled over not just by Damon's prodigiously oversized genitalia but also by his absolutely extraordinary sexual stamina. His mighty organ was fueled, it seemed, by a supercharged reproductive system that enabled him to outlast, out-recuperate, and outperform any man she'd ever been with. Up to that point in her life, Sula had been intimate with numerous alpha male celebs β movie stars and other assorted Hollywood types, politicians (from
both
sides of the aisle), top-tier athletes, rock stars, and business tycoons. But none of them β
none
β held half a candle to Damon's Olympian performances.
And they'd met in the
most interesting way.
Sula and her closest supermodel friend at the time, Victoria, had been waved through the ropes of a very exclusive club when she'd noticed a parking valet pull away in a simply gorgeous black Maserati Quattroporte. On a naughty lark, Sula had turned to her friend and boldly declared, "Whoever owns that car, that's the lucky bastard I'm going to fuck tonight."
Sula had been about to slip a ten-dollar bill to the valet captain to learn the identity of the Maserati's owner, but Victoria informed her she could put her money away; she already knew who it was: a fellow named Damon Ogumbu. Victoria had been hearing the most gushing reviews about him from several of her swimsuit model friends.
Sula was immediately intrigued. "Well, tell me all about him. His name sounds African. Is he black?"
"As the ace of spades," Victoria said, adding lewdly, "
Every inch of him
."
"What is he, then, an actor? An athlete? What does he do?"
"I've no idea," Victoria shrugged, "but they say he fucks like a
god
."
That was sufficient recommendation for Sula. Afterall, she had no racial biases, none whatsoever. She'd sucked and fucked plenty of black dicks in limos before. And then there'd been that night in that hotel suite when she and Victoria, and three other models whose names she couldn't recall, had had a tad too much coke and wound up getting gangbanged by nearly all the starters from two competing basketball teams and half their benches.
Sula had gotten Victoria to point Damon out for her at the bar, then walked over, wedged herself in between Damon and a couple of wannabe fuckstresses, and boldly introduced herself.
As he had taken her hand in his, she thought she'd heard him say, "Pleased to
eat
you." At that same instant, she'd felt a poignant tingling in her clit and a twat throb filled with such tender yearning that she grew briefly dizzy. She then felt his lips press lightly against her ear as he murmured these memorable words: "Panties should
never
come between friends."
Sula had promptly excused herself and literally raced into the ladies room to remove the offending undergarment. By the time she'd returned, the other two women had mysteriously vanished, leaving the bar stool beside Damon conveniently available.
For the next hour, they'd carried on the most scintillating conversation regarding ...
regarding
... Well, Sula couldn't recall
what
the subject matter was, or what either of them had actually said. Not a word. But what she did
vividly
recall were those incredible, aphrodisiacal eyes of his. And the way he'd seductively caressed the nape of her neck and tenderly kissed her on the lips. And how he'd finger fucked her to a screaming, gut-wrenching orgasm right there at the bar while everyone else around them appeared to take no notice ... absolutely no notice at all.
How perfectly extraordinary it all had been!
Moments after she'd publicly climaxed, when Damon invited her home with him, she had virtually leapt off the stool. Damon's offer to settle the tab had, interestingly enough, been magnanimously declined by the barman.
That night, in his luxurious penthouse apartment, with its spectacular views of the city lights, Damon had taken Sula to heights of lust and ecstasy she'd never before known. By dawn, he'd made love to her an astonishing nine times β or, maybe it was
ten
-- she couldn't remember. It had all been such a wildly rapturous haze of sucking and fucking.
But what Sula, even to this day, wasn't aware of β hadn't even
guessed at
-- was that Damon's greatest gift lay unseen within his cranium: A preternatural prefrontal cortex that gave him the power to alter the consciousness of others, and bend their hearts, minds, and bodies to his will.
While portions of his brain may have been unusually large, his pineal body, by contrast, was not merely underdeveloped but missing entirely β a quirk of nature that had brought about a precocious puberty at age five, and an equally precocious and near-insatiable sexual appetite.
From earliest childhood, Damon had learned that the world -- and all those in it β existed largely for the simple purpose of making him happy. He had only to desire something and it would be granted. To wit, his mother had breastfed him until he was ten by which time he'd felt sufficiently sated to move on to other menu items. And by the time he'd graduated from high school, he'd already sired twelve children by as many of his schoolteachers. White, Black, Hispanic and Asian, he had had them all. He'd even bedded and inseminated a number of his friends' mothers. More than a few of all these impregnations, had, unfortunately, culminated in rather tumultuous divorces, though none of the women, understandably, had been willing to divulge the identity of their young lover.
Throughout Damon's life, he found people unfailingly and exceedingly kind, instantly obedient to his every wish and whim. They lavished upon him the finest of educations, their places in line, the best clothing, wristwatches,
