Suburban Cyborg

  Lizzy put an arm around both of them and they turned to face her more directly on both sides. She tried to turn herself, but was denied the trouble.

  “No sweetheart, let us do the work this time. We don’t want to hurt your knee,” Jack told her.

  Jack kept one hand on the small of her back and the other touched her face and moved down to her breasts. Randy had a hand on her shoulders now and his other hand was moving further up her thighs. She softly gasped and felt herself become moist. When Randy’s hand slid up her shirt to the skin of her belly she groaned, arching her back, and his kiss left her trembling with her need. It had been far too long, she thought and could feel her pent up pressure needing release. She had a joyous feeling it was going to be taken care of and she desired it to be. She so needed the touch and feel of friends who cared.

  She removed her shirt and they repositioned her to lay back on the huge couch with her head in Jacks lap and Randy began working his way up her body starting at the calves. Every touch was an electric dance of feelings running up her spine. When he removed her bra and his lips touched her breasts she moaned out shaking as she had a small explosion deep inside.

  “That is it, Liz, let it go. We all need a release now and then, let us give you yours. Oh yeah, baby, feel it, enjoy it with us,” Jack said stroking her face and neck in a way that felt loving. She had not felt so taken care of, possibly ever and her revelry grew. As her breasts were kissed her panties were slid down and she felt the comforting weight of Randy on top of her, somehow avoiding her bad leg. She opened her eyes and his face was in front of her again. They both were smiling and panting. Jack slid back out from under her to get out of the way and soon Randy was lowering his hips and bending his head to kiss her as his throbbing shaft found her wet desire and entered her with an urgency that they both shared. Her arms went around him and she cried out in her pleasure as he moved his hips up and down. She felt one explosion of her lust and desire roar through her. He kept going until he exploded his passion into her causing another expansion of her pleasure. Gasping he rolled off of her and the couch. Panting herself she tilted her head back to see where Jack was behind her, naked. She raised her eyebrow and gave him a sultry look.

  “I don’t think you are done Jack, do you?” She asked him. He grinned and got on his knees above her head and leaned over her. She felt his lips on her belly and gasped as his eager lounge worked its way downward and her need grew again. She wanted him to touch her and kiss her more, and he did as she moaned her passion. She caressed his back and ran her nails slowly up and down, she felt him tremble in his own desire. Soon he was changing positions to keep her from moving too much and he straddled her. She could feel his growing member against her thigh and had a great desire to feel more of it.

  “Oh, Jack, now baby, I am ready again, oh baby please,” she cried out. Being a gentleman Jack obliged. She embraced him as he entered her with his throbbing shaft. He set off another chain of physical sensations that seemed to explode every nerve in a fireworks display of pleasure that left them both gasping for breath when it ended. As she caught her breath she felt completely relaxed and closed her eyes to enjoy it. Then she promptly fell asleep, exhausted.

  Lizzy awoke early and was embarrassed she had fallen asleep so quickly. She was amazed at how good she felt and to her surprise her knee looked and felt a little better. One of the guys had put a blanket over her and her brace was sitting next to the couch. She got dressed and put the brace on before going to the bathroom. By the time the guys got up she had made breakfast from stuff she found in the cupboards and was sitting at the coffee counter with her leg up on the chair next to her. She sipped coffee and smiled at Randy as he came out. Lizzy was so appreciative of their actions and fun from the night before. She felt she had found romantic partners that could turn into something else, but she also was not willing to rush into it faster than they already were.

  “Breakfast? Really, jeez, Storm. You shouldn’t be up and about n your leg,” he said sleepily. He came over kissed her and with her permission checked out her knee. He agreed it looked better.

  “After everything I am surprised, but it does look better,” he said.

  “Who would have thought getting laid is good for your knee,” she said with a grin.

  They both started laughing and he went to get some coffee and eggs. Jack came out soon after and joined them. Lizzy called her lawyer and had to leave a message. Then she called Kate the detective.

  “I am glad you are doing well. Do you have company for the day? Not going anywhere?” Katy asked her.

  “Yes. The guys say now that the off season has begun they don’t have anywhere to be. They are not going anywhere and neither am I,” she told her. Pleased that she was able to do so.

  “Good girl. Look I have a few things going that might clear this whole thing up. I am waiting to hear more from someone I met last night before I can really get into it but have hope. I will call and let you know when I get all the facts nailed down. Is that cool?” She asked Lizzy. Lizzy wanted to know what she was talking about but she did trust Katy and was feeling so much better it was easier to let her handle her part.

  “Sure, Katy, just don’t leave me hanging to long okay?” She said.

  “I won’t, thanks for the trust, and I will get back to you later,” she said and hung up.

  Lizzy told the guys what Katy had said and went to get cleaned up. She enjoyed a bath this time and when she finished she felt even better. She went through her bag,a little disappointed with her mad rush of random clothes before leaving her apartment. She had a mix and match of stuff. With a sigh, she found something that would work. She was glad she had intentionally grabbed clean underwear. She put on a sports bra and panties. Then she put on a red skirt to her knees, thick with frilly trim, and a green camisole medium curt neckline that hinted at her cleavage and covered her sports bra. Then she remembered and put on her knee brace before using her crutches to wobble out to the others.

  Jack looked like he had just took a shower and Randy was nowhere in sight. Jack looked casual in sweats and a New York City t-shirt.

  “You are looking fine, if I may say so,” Jack told her. She smiled prettily.

  “I was thinking the same about you. So any plans for the day? We are to stay here according to Detective Linton,” she told him.

  “We can hang out, take naps, maybe some other activities will occur to us,” he said with an eager smile. She knew what he was thinking and she thought it would be fun later. Although right then she was so relaxed laying down almost sounded good.

  “I think I am still worn out from everything this week. Would you mind if I just tipped back on the couch for a while? I will apologize now if I fall asleep this time,” she told him and he laughed.

  “No worries, Liz, it was very cute how you were just out and snoring in a minute’s time. Make yourself comfortable, seriously. We will look out for you, so relax,” he said and hugged her. She gave him a kiss and hobbled over to the couch. She sat with a sigh. Maybe it was the big breakfast and then a long bath but a nap did sound good.

  “Where is Randy?” She asked with a yawn.

  “Getting cleaned up. No worries, remember,” he said and she chuckled, reclining to her back and crossing her hands on her waist.

  “Ah this feels good,” she said softly and she did fall asleep again.

  Until it felt like the world was shaking and she heard shouting.

  Lizzy pushed herself up and froze. There was a big guy with a Kansas accent and a gun kicking the couch to wake her up. Jack was sitting on the arm of a chair nearby with his hands above his head as another guy pointed a gun at him. He had one large foot on the coffee table keeping his leg in a forty-five-degree angle.

  “Oh come on! Not again, seriously. This is getting old dude,” Lizzy told him angrily. She was really getting tired of this and as scared as she was she had just about had her limit.

  “Shut up, slut. As your p
arents thought, holing up with some sports star. It is disgraceful. You are going to come with me, and you,” he said pointing at Jack, “are going to be tied up quietly or get shot,” he said and gestured for the other man to approach Jack from the living room entryway. As he approached Jack kicked the table he was resting his foot on and it slid across the room with some force and tripped the man coming at him. At the same time Randy made his appearance.

  “Not this time!” Randy yelled as he appeared from the hallway in a running dive. He tackled the big guy threatening Lizzy. They went down behind the other couch, the gun flying through the air. Jack leapt across the room to keep the other guy down.

  “If you are a fan, stay quiet and I won’t beat your ass as you deserve,” he shouted at him. Lizzy remembered a thief at the store apologizing to Randy. The guy Jack was kneeling over remained quiet and Lizzy struggled to her feet seeing Randy come up from behind the couch. Then he made a fist and swung it down. Once, twice, and a third time.

  “Hold it Randy, I think you got him,” came Katy’s voice from the door. Lizzy spun and almost fell as the woman came in with her gun drawn. She glanced around and then saw Lizzy.

  “Aren’t you supposed to stay off your feet for a few days?” Then she moved forward and handcuffed the guy Randy had taken down as another officer filed in and took care of the one Jack got. It took her a moment to figure out what Katy had said to her and she began laughing. She sat down again and took deep breaths to calm down because along with laughing she had begun shaking with reaction to the sudden shock of being woken at gunpoint. Lizzy remained there as the bad guys were ushered out and then Katy sat down across from her. Randy and Jack sat on either side of her.

  “I suppose you are wondering why I called you here,” Katy said with a grin. They just nodded.

  “First, sorry about being late. I didn’t think they would move that fast. Now then Lizzy, your parents are on their way to the station. They were down stairs waiting for you to be kidnapped. They told me all about it,” she said. Lizzy’s jaw dropped open.

  “They were here? How did they know where I was?” She asked with a trembling voice.

  “That is what is interesting. I received a call last night from your lawyer. He said he had been trying to call you but was getting a wrong number. I told him you still had the same number and I gave it to him. The one he had programmed into his phone was one digit off. Guess who programs his phone for him,” They thought about it for a second. Randy got there first.

  “That Donna chick,” he said and Katy nodded.

  “Yes. Apparently she was in constant communication with your folks. After the man they sent followed you to the jewelry store the first time, they did not have to follow you anymore. Donna knew every move you made because you told her or her boss. Her bank account has grown substantially this past week and the phone records all show the numerous calls she made with your mom and dad,” Lizzy was amazed.

  “I am shocked they left Kansas,” she said softly, not sure what to make of the new development.

  “They told me it had to be done to put you in your place. They are quite proud of their actions and are bragging about it even now I should expect,” she said, her nose wrinkling up in disgust.

  “How did you find out they would be here?” Jack asked.

  “We got Donna into a room with the man we caught last night and between them they gave it up. That big guy is a factory foreman for your dad’s company and everyone else are local morons looking for a payday. Donna told us the plan as she heard it and we rushed over here right away. They got past security by posing as delivery men. I have a feeling your building security, Jack, is about to be revamped,” she said. She looked at Lizzy carefully.

  “Are you going to be alright?” She asked.

  Lizzy gave a shaky laugh. “So it is over? I don’t have to worry about it anymore? Do I have to see my parents?” She asked, her only real concern. She had a feeling building within her she was not sure she recognized.

  “Not if they keep bragging about their crimes. A judge will take care of them really quick,” Katy said. Lizzy felt a relief and then that elusive feeling she had never had. Freedom.

  *****

  Lizzy walked back into her apartment from her balcony that faced Central Park. She had made the move right after the last attack from her parents and was very happy in this building. She saw herself in her mirror and wrinkled her nose, then smiled with a shrug at her reflection.

  “What are you going to do girl, it’s been fun,” she said to herself. She was wearing two tank tops, a red and a white, tucked into gym shorts showing off her new muffin top and pooch belly. She had spent the last month and a half spending most of her time on her rear after the surgery her knee ended up needing. So consequently, her love of all things pastry had caught up to her. She did not mind though. She had enjoyed it and today was the first day of getting in shape. The guys were coming over to take her to their gym to work out. She spun on her leg happily. She barely had a limp now. Life sure was fine she thought.

  Her parents were on their way to jail and none of her dad’s money could save them. It did not help them that they still bragged about their actions as if they were only saviors trying to get their daughter to repent. The judge was not impressed. The dumb-ass thugs they hired went away as well. Lizzy was truly safe and would be for a long time to come.

  She had also fallen fairly hard for Randy. She loved Jack but the experience she shared with Randy in the Jewelry store had created a bond neither of them had recognized at first. Now that they had they had talked and decided to give it a try. She did not mind his celebrity status and he did not mind her trust fund baby state of living.

  She had managed to finally buy two bracelets from Reginald’s Jewelry. He was doing well and his store was still doing fine. He refused to hire security, not wanting to destroy the atmosphere. She thought it was a good idea. She told everyone she knew with money to shop there because he was a brave man who had stood up for her. People listened and he had got some business from it.

  She also had taken the time to attend the meetings at Wonders Woman Shelter. She spoke of her experiences and it seemed to help some. At least she hoped it did. After speaking she would sweep up as promised. She wasn’t sure if that itself didn’t help more people. It was the final actions that helped her get past her own past and truly embrace her future and she was delighted and in debt to the ladies there.

  Lizzy heard a knock at her door and grabbed her gym bag and went to answer it. It was Jack and her man Randy.

  “Hi guys, ready to go?” She said with a happy smile. They returned it.

  “Damn right, if you are,” Jack said.

  “Yeah I was wondering if I could bring along a friend,” she asked.

  “Sure, who did you have in mind. Is she cute?” Jack asked and Randy laughed winking at Lizzy.

  “Depends on who you ask,” said Kate Linton. She had just walked up behind them with a gym bag over her shoulder. The woman smiled at everyone and eyed Jack critically.

  “With a little work you could be cute,” she told him. Randy and Lizzy busted up laughing as Jack humorously protested. Lizzy noticed he was eyeing the detective though. She was a good looking woman and Jack would be in for a time of it if he tried to date her. Lizzy was looking forward to it. She linked arms with Randy and followed the other two down the hallway. Life was good.

  THE END

  Bonus Story 31/40

  Dragon’s Oath

  Brida's father and his people had been at war with their neighbors for as long as she could remember, at least the past twenty years if not longer, and things were not balanced in their favor. Lord Ulric had not seen fit to educate his daughter in the ways of war, but she knew her brothers well, and she had learned more than perhaps Ulric wanted over the course of her childhood. The last few battles had taken a particularly hard toll on their people, and one of Brida's brothers, Edmund, had been grievously injured. She herself had been moved fr
om place to place in Ulric's constant attempts to keep her from the hands of his enemy. Now they had finally returned to their keep, but only because Ulric's troops had been decimated and he had recalled his men and his generals to the center of his domain where they could try and find some new tactic to push back the invaders.

  Brida had been tasked with making sure that her brother was well taken care of, which consisted of her mostly tending to him herself and having the servants fetch her what she needed. He seemed calmest when she was the one at his bedside, and she hardly had anything else to be doing. Ulric had gathered all of his commanders in the great hall, including Edmund and Brida's eldest brother Eldric, and they had been in there for the better part of the day. Brida wasn't even sure they had eaten. She had bread and ale brought to try and get Edmund to eat something, but when he refused she ate it herself.

  She saw no solution, but perhaps she simply didn't have the same mind for military matters that the men in her family did. Still, to her it looked like the easiest thing to do would to be surrender and give the invaders what they wanted. Things were grim enough to start, and now there were rumors of tall fair-haired barbarians raiding along the shores in the south. It was hardly the time to be squabbling when simple diplomacy could resolve matters. After all, Ulric had the perfect bargaining chip. Brida was young still, and unmarried. There had to be someone her father could marry her off to in order to stop the hostilities before his people and his family were completely wiped off the face of the earth.

  Edmund groaned, his face contorted in pain, and squirmed on his bed. Brida shushed him and smoothed his dark hair back from his face. By the time he had been returned home infection had already set into the wound on his leg. The healer had done the best he could to treat it, and the wound was looking far better than it had, but he was in the throes of a fever, constantly in and out of sleep and in so much pain it made Brida's heart ache. She motioned for one of her ladies to bring the bowl of water and wet the rag that lay draped over the side, squeezing out the excess before dabbing sweat off of Edmund's brow. He calmed eventually, settling back into his restless sleep and feverish dreams.
