CHAPTER FOUR
As she turned her full attention back to Doug, she saw what they'd forgotten in their rush to speak with Phaedra. Neither of them had a stitch on. Phaedra had behaved as if there was nothing out of the ordinary when she arrived to discuss the council meeting and the ensuing talk about affinity. Robyn raised her eyebrows when she saw Doug sweep his hands in a downward gesture from his chest past his burgeoning cock and sent the thought, "Well I certainly didn't leave her speechless." He turned and went back to the bed.
"In fact, her pronouncement of difficulty choosing a male partner based on affinity I might find quite crushing if I did not see you standing there with that glint in your eye." he said as he busied himself straightening sheets, arranging pillows. Suddenly his 'the suns out' smile lit up his face as he sent the thought, "What was that about, where were we?"
Robyn was supercharged. Excitement sluiced through her veins. The heaviness in her pelvis was unbearable. Doug was watching. Doug was waiting. Doug was trying to get in. She had not figured out yet if he could see the door with his name on it, or the series of locks that ran from the top to the bottom, each a deadbolt, each with its own key. If he saw, why did he not say? She loved this man, of that, she was sure. What she was not ready for was his seeping into all her nooks and crannies before she knew him, not the biblical but him, the one inside, his secret self.
She advanced on him as she removed her barrier to his thoughts. Robyn let her desire wash over him in a wave, shared with him her hunger, and the unbearable want that had beset her loins since arriving in Astrafon. As she crawled up his body, she kissed and licked every inch of him from the inside of his ankles up his calves to the back of his knee and up his inner thigh, from left to right and right to left. Her tongue lazily meandering, leaving a wet path on his skin. She blew her breath over him. He shuddered. Her hand gently touched him at the matrix between his thighs. She shared her every thought with him now. Wanted him to feel what she felt. With unsteady hands she touched, she prodded, she massaged.
When her mouth followed her hands, Doug shared with her all that he physically felt as she ministered to him. She massaged each testicle, then tasted and sucked. As she felt the contraction of his scrotum, she ran her finger along the now prominent skin that was like a seam, the signature of perfection's imperfection. She was not ready to let the hunger go. She was not ready to be filled up, satiated. She slowed down, backed off. Doug was reaching for her. She knew he wanted to be inside. She thought, no, not yet. Her hand grasped his shaft and pulled his cock away from his abdomen.
She settled herself between his legs, sitting on her knees her ass on her heels. She leaned forward, her pink tongue protruding between her lips and she licked up his shaft feathering the wet of her mouth against his hardness. Her tongue traced the coronal ridge around and back beginning and ending in the little notch. She placed her mouth over just that much, the head, her lips fastening just below the corona, pushing him with her tongue against the roof of her mouth, let her tongue feather him back and forth, her teeth nibble. She wanted to take him in now from base to head, wanted to make him cum, make him fill her with his seed, drink his essence in.
But Doug grabbed her, causing her to disconnect. Roughly he pulled her up on his chest and cried, "Help me." Robyn sat up, held her body slightly apart from his and with his hand helping hers, they brought his raging hard cock inside her. They developed their rhythm. Robyn leaned forward, her breasts hanging like grapes from a trellis, allowing him to taste and suck and pinch her nipples as she gave herself over to him. They rode the wave in a fury, each rise and fall harder and rougher than the one before. Doug wrapped her to him in his arms, kissed and bit her neck and shoulder as he pounded in and she rose up, until they were there on the plane of culmination, holding, squeezing tight, bodies in rigid pose. Then it was over, their sweat-tinged bodies in satisfied collapse. Their tandem 'I love you' wove its way into the center of their beings.
Doug was sleeping, his breathing coming in bits of wispy air. He looked so dear in repose. Robyn reached out her hand to push his hair back and allowed her hand to gently trace his face down the side of his jaw. She kissed his lips and then she got up. She dressed and wrote a note for Doug. Then she again created the doors in her mind. The one marked Doug, she closed and locked the locks. Another door labelled Phaedra stood open, and she simply said, "We need to talk."
Robyn's thoughts were raging. She walked into a room that arose out of her thoughts. Phaedra was standing by the window looking out. Out at what, Robyn had no idea since she had thought no more than a secure room.
"Phaedra, you lied. You lied to me. You lied to Doug. Just how much is lie, how much is the truth? Is any of it the truth? Why Phaedra? Why?"
Phaedra just remained standing by the window looking out for what seemed an eon of time. Robyn was pacing, wringing her hands. That feeling, the one in her pelvis just a short bit ago assuaged, now was climbing again.
"Phaedra," she whispered, "what's going on."
Phaedra turned toward Robyn, spread out her hands and two facing chairs appeared. "Sit Robyn and let me explain as best I can."
They sat across from each other. Robyn no longer fidgeting. Her hands were resting on her thighs just a bit back from her knees. Her spine was straight, her abdomen pulled in, her head and shoulders held in a regal pose, and she breathed, slowly inhale through the nose, hold to the count of four, exhale slowly from the mouth, hold to the count of four. Calmness descended like a rainbow after a storm. She was ready to listen.
"Most of what we told you was the truth. The part that was the lie was how the stage would be set for us, the people of Astrafon, to be in receipt of your gifts."
Phaedra waited. Robyn said nothing.
"You see, what happens between you and Doug, calls to us all. We just need to watch, and we are all along for the ride."
"You mean we're like some bugs in a jar you watch copulate for giggles and grins." said Robyn in a voice tinged in bitterness.
"No my dear, no. We are running against time. We have been given this one last chance to restore what was taken away by the few who believed carnal desire sinful and harmful", Phaedra said and she leaned forward and took Robyn's hands in hers.
"Why did you not tell us, why lie."
"Would you have acquiesced if you'd known that every intimate thought, every intimate kiss, intimate touch, would be run in the mind of every Astrafon citizen within and without the confines of our city." Phaedra stood and began to walk the room as she explained.
"Robyn, Astrafonites, almost to the last one of us, want the return of our true beings. We want the messiness of sex and love, marriage, friends with benefits. The arguments. We want to lust. We want the pheromones to swaddle us in desire, helping us choose who."
"I get it. I really do. But I thought we were friends and friends don't lie to each other."
"What then, do you call what you are doing to Doug?"
"What do you mean?"
"You've got a way to keep him out. You have a way to not share."
"I've not lied to him."
"Haven't you? Are you sure?"
"There are things I'm not ready for Doug to know."
"Yes, exactly the way I felt about you and Doug knowing all of our secrets from the start."
"Alright. But why the shortage of time?"
