Chapter 15 From Trophy Bride to Sex Slave
LENA HAS AN UNEXPECTED ROOMMATE
Outside Lena's head and the Everleigh, the world moved on, full of sound and fury, sturm und drang. The hottest scandal of the summer began shortly after Lena returned to the Everleigh.
The scandal involved Zoe Klug, Jeb Altschule and his older half-brother, Lester Semmes Jr., who had just returned from a French prison as part of the deal that sent Grette Zelle back to Europe and would release Lena.
Mrs. Altschule and certain other proper Free States women had long been offended by rumors that Zoe Klug and certain other women married to major Free State power brokers were not complying with the laws regarding marital fidelity and birth control.
If asked, Mrs. Altschule would have talked first of Zoe setting a bad example for the greater population. If pressed hard in a private setting, Mrs. Altschule might have admitted something like, "darn it, I had to open my legs and ovaries for an old man for over a decade, and for only that old man, and had seven children by the old coot. Other gold digger women should have to go through what I did." If she was honest, Mrs. Altschule would also have to admit that her sex life had been one of duty, and she was overwhelmed with envy of Zoe Klug and other attractive, upper middle class women who had married older men with great power or wealth but who had not had to pay the dues for wealth and physical comfort that Mrs. Altschule had paid.
Mrs. Altschule hired a man, Thomas Marlowe, to follow Zoe Klug. Marlowe assumed that the woman he was hired to follow was married to one of Mrs. Altschule's sons, and Altschule hoped to get rid of an unwanted daughter-in-law. Why else would an older lady care who a younger woman was sleeping with?
Mrs. Altschule told Marlowe that she wanted Zoe exposed, but she did not want to be exposed as having hired him. Marlowe was to get pictures of Zoe having sex with someone who was certainly not her husband and go straight with the pictures to the local sheriff wherever the illegal act occurred. He was to tell the sheriff that he was working for the Department of Dixieland Security doing routine checks on persons associated with high officials of the Department and had come across this offense.
For many years now, Zoe had been having casual affairs with men she met at, where else, church.
Zoe picking up guys at church was facilitated by the fact that Max Klug always claimed he was busy fighting some horrible security risk to the Free States on Sunday morning. In fact, Max Klug had no use for God. Further, he did not really care what his wife did. Klug's needs were satisfied by an indentured servant he'd bought eight years ago, Nadezha, who was less showy but far smarter and nicer than Zoe.
The Holy Word Church of Arkansas and the rest of God's Kingdom had been established by James Backer some years before the national divorce. The church had grown to be a massive institution with over 40,000 members and numerous associate preachers along with Backer. In addition to the main sanctuary with its center stage with a seating capacity for over 25,000 churchgoers, the religious campus had three auxiliary worship centers for weddings and special services.
Zoe did not quite violate the unwritten Free States dress code when she went to church, but she pushed the limits. She promptly returned the glances of any attractive man who looked at her and always moved her body in a manner that emphasized her flat belly, shapely legs and derriere. Somehow, she frequently found it necessary to stretch during sermons in a manner that pushed out her very nice C-cup breasts, and the way she shook her lovely auburn hair also served to keep many men from falling asleep during even the most boring sermons.
Zoe always managed to sit somewhere where she was projected sitting behind the preacher on one of the huge screens shown above to those sitting further back and to the national TV audience. Naturally, Zoe came to the attention of Rev. Backer who was an acquaintance of the Altschules, major donors to the church. Zoe's religious activities also came to investigator Marlowe's attention.
Readers of this saga can pretty well imagine much of what happened in May to early July 2047. Jeb Altschule with his half-brother Lester Semmes took it onto themselves to introduce Zoe to Rev. Backer. Backer took the three on a tour of the religious campus, particularly to one of the auxiliary worship centers that had particularly well-padded pews. Marlowe observed this and that Backer took the three to the same auxiliary worship center the following Sundays. Marlowe determined that he could enter the well-padded auxiliary worship center while the main service was going on and hide behind the altar.
And so, it came to pass that Marlowe obtained some excellent pictures and movie footage of Zoe Klug naked, sitting on a pew with Jeb Altschule's cock up her ass while Lester Semmes rammed his cock in and out of her quim and Rev. Backer fed his cock into her mouth.
The sheriff of Pulaski County, Arkansas, would have recognized Zoe Klug and would not have investigated without giving Max notice. But that sheriff was also under investigation due to the uproar that the floating Bibles had caused. The acting sheriff was Deputy Goodman. Goodman saw clear evidence of sodomy and an attractive woman who had to be committing adultery, as all three men could not be her husband.
Deputy Goodman could perhaps have made two arrests immediately. Marlowe could identify Zoe Klug and Rev. Backer for him, of course. But Goodman was worried that the pictures or the movie had been photoshopped, and with all the recent noise in the papers about selective prosecution by sheriffs and sheriffs bringing cases without good evidence, Goodman decided that there was nothing to do but go to the auxiliary worship center and wait outside the door until he got a text signal from Marlowe who would again be behind the altar the following Sunday.
This time the three leechers had thrown some of the cushions on the floor, and Jeb was on the bottom with his cock in Zoe's quim as she faced him but with her head turned to suck Backer's cock while Lester rammed his condom-clad cock up Zoe's ass. None of the three men managed to disengage in time as Deputy Goodman and two other officers stormed into the hall. Zoe's possessions were naturally searched.
Thrilled that he had clear evidence of at least eight cases of adultery (later proven to be twelve), eight cases of sodomy and two cases of illegal possession of contraceptives, Goodman booked all four of the repeat offenders.
Rev. Backer insisted that he was only trying to force demons out of the woman, but, Goodman, being a Methodist, wasn't buying it.
Mrs. Altschule was initially thrilled after being told of Zoe's arrest and criminal charges that would probably keep her on a boat for decades. After she heard who had been arrested with Zoe and for what, she had a heart attack.
