Kelly and Beth were seated by the pool, drinking a fruit beverage that they called a Smoothie. Earlier, Ed had tasted it and thought it a rather bland drink, preferring his iced tea with just enough sugar to taste the sweetness. Languidly, he moved his arms forcing his body to move through the water at a very slow speed. The water moved over his body massaging it like a gentle hand. He smiled at the whispering touch of the water over his cock and balls. There was no way to get that same sensation by wearing a swim suit. A slight disturbance at the door did not attract his attention to a degree sufficient to open his eyes and see the cause. Kim stood at the door watching Ed in the pool amazed at the total sense of relaxation that he emanated. She glanced over at Beth and Kelly, taking in their naked bodies and how they held hands. A shiver of disgust ran through her body at the demonstration of intimacy between the two women. When Kelly waved her over to join them, she reluctantly moved in their direction. She sat down in a chair that was far enough away from them that she could hide her disgust and close enough that she wasn't being rude. The last thing she wanted was to chase away Ed because she couldn't get along with those two Lesbians. Even the thought of that word bothered her. In a friendly voice, Kelly said, "Make yourself comfortable. Would you like something to drink? We're having Strawberry Smoothies and Ed is having iced tea. We have all kinds of soft drinks in the mini-refrigerator." Tensing at the suggestion to make herself comfortable, Kim interpreted it as an invitation to get naked so that the Lesbians could drool over her body. Instead of becoming more relaxed, she sat up straighter with a body language that conveyed her displeasure. She answered, "No thank you. I'm fine." Kelly and Beth exchanged frowns at the behavior of their guest. Ed, hearing the conversation, opened his eyes and saw that Kim had arrived. Swimming to the edge of the pool, he said, "Hello Kim. Are you sure that you wouldn't like something to drink?" Having committed herself to a course of action, she felt it would create a problem to change now. In a warmer voice, she answered, "Yes, I'm sure. Thank you anyway." Smiling at her, Ed said, "Would you like to take a swim?" "I'd rather not get undressed in front of those two Lesbians," she replied. Even as the words left her mouth, she knew that she had made a major mistake. She realized that she had just delivered a horrible insult to all three of them. Fully expecting an angry response, she was shocked by the sad tone of voice in which Beth replied, "Oh, you poor woman. I feel so sorry for you." With an extremely sad expression on her face, Kelly said, "It's such a shame that a young woman like yourself has such a limited concept of love. I truly hope that you understand some day." In total agreement with his wives, Ed added, "Maybe one day you will meet someone that can teach you the truth about what it means to love." She felt like she understood the relationship here very well. These women were willing to let her have sex with their husband because they didn't want to be bothered to take care of a man. Kim turned to him and, with anger that was all out of proportion to what was called for, asked, "How can you defend these dykes? You must be so horny being married to women that won't sleep with a man!" Her question prompted laughter on the part of all three. He replied, "My God, I'm in here recovering from getting double teamed by them. I couldn't get it up now if my life depended on it." Kelly asked, "What made you think that we don't have sex with our husbands?" Laughing so hard that she could hardly stay in the chair, Beth said, "My goodness, you really don't understand." Puzzled by that reaction, Kim asked, "You do have sex with each other, right?" "Of course," replied Kelly as if there couldn't be any other answer that made sense. "Almost every day," answered Beth while sharing a caring look at her wife. She added, "I also have sex with John and Ed every day that they are here." "Lesbians don't have sex with men!" countered Kim as though she had proven some point. Again an anger rose within her that she didn't understand. Ed said, "Well, I guess that means that they aren't Lesbians." Furious that Ed didn't understand the perversion that sat in the same room with him, Kim screamed, "Real women don't have sex with women. Only Lesbians have sex with women. Only Lesbians force young girls to have sex with women!" Her outburst had opened doors that had long been locked. Memories of a vile aunt that had abused her when she was much younger flooded back. Months of beatings had been followed by a year of serving as a pussy slave to her aunt and her aunt's circle of perverted friends. She knew from personal experience that there was nothing loving about sex between women. It was her Grandfather that had rescued her from that life of hell. He had healed her and, more importantly, protected her from the predation of her aunt. She knew that men loved women and treated them with respect. Sex between a man and a woman was glorious and loving. Sex between women was hateful. Women tortured each other sexually and only a Lesbian would enjoy that kind of thing. Kelly and Beth looked at each other, neither knowing how to comfort the woman. Any sign of affection would be interpreted as a violence against her. The two of them looked at Ed. For the first time, they had an insight into the kind of obstacles he had faced in rescuing those damsels in distress. Even if it was John that rescued them, it was Ed that comforted and healed them. Ed stayed in the pool, realizing that exposing her to any intimate embrace would make her feel vulnerable in front of his wives. She would cling to him expecting him to chase away the women and that was the worst thing that he could do for her. All he could do was watch her with concern as the tears ran down her face. Facing inner the demons that had been planted in her when she was young was something that she had to do for herself. It felt like an eternity had passed before she recovered enough to look around. She saw the trembling lips and tears in the eyes of Beth and Kelly as they shared her pain. They were holding hands tightly, sharing their sadness and their strength to overcome. If she hadn't known that they had sex with each other, she would have been happy at their support. In her confused state, she saw their actions as guilt. The only noise in the room came from the water lapping against the edge of the pool as the implications of what Kim had said sunk in. In a voice that was so soft that it wouldn't normally be heard, Ed said, "Only monsters force children to have sex. Only monsters take pleasure out of ripping the innocence out of the innocent. There are monsters of both genders. There are no monsters in this house that will harm you. You are safe here." She stared at him wondering how he could say that when he lived with two Lesbians. She had looked to him to chase away the women, but he had allowed them to stay. On their rock hunting expedition, she had watched him care for a drunk and change the man. If he could do that for a total stranger, why couldn't he do it for her? She felt betrayed by him. If she could have stood, she would have run out of the room. In a voice perhaps more quiet than Ed's, Kelly said, "Believe him, Kim. He and John are the greatest monster hunters in the world." Beth said, "They have hunted down serial killers, rapists, white slavers, and other criminals. Thousands of people have been saved by them." To hear himself described as a monster hunter amused Ed. Mental images of him as a vampire hunter armed with cross and stake threatened to make him laugh, but the situation was too serious for that. He said, "You think I have betrayed you because I haven't chased the wicked Lesbians from the room." The fact that he echoed her thoughts grabbed her attention. He continued, "I haven't chased them away because they aren't monsters. They would never hurt you. I know that you don't believe me when I tell you that, but it is the truth. You also won't believe me when I say that lesbians are real women that have found it easier to love other women than to love men. They aren't evil, just human beings looking for someone to love who can love them back." With a bitterness that was cutting, Kim said, "I'm sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about." Wishing that John was here, Ed slowly climbed out of the pool. The total relaxation of his swim was replaced by a pensiveness that was almost painful. His naked body dripped water on the floor of the pool room. He walked over to where the towels were kept and dried himself and then wrapped the towel around his waste to cover his privates. As he did that, Beth left the room. It was several minutes later that she returned wearing a bathrobe and handed another one to Kelly. Kelly slipped the robe on and then walked to the other side of the pool. While they were arranging the chairs so that they were directly across the pool from Kim, Ed got on the telephone and requested that Bob come to the pool room. Kim watched the activity with confusion and then looked to Ed for clarification. Holding up a hand to prevent discussion, Ed went around the pool to engage in a whispered conversation with Beth and Kelly. She was startled when another man entered the room and took a chair at the far end of the pool. Walking around the pool to Kim, Ed said, "There are some things that I do not talk about because I find them extremely painful. I know that you don't trust Kelly and Beth so I have asked them to sit on the other side of the pool from you while they tell you some things that I have seen. I have asked Bob to sit at the end of the pool to act as a moderator. I will leave you with them, but I will be close enough so that if you call out I can return. Listen to what they have to say." Trembling at the idea of being left alone with the two women, Kim said, "Please stay here." Holding out his medallion, he said, "Touch this and you will know the truth of what I say." Although she had not noticed the medallion around his neck until that moment, she remembered what had happened when Harry had touched it. Trembling with fear, she reached out and touched the medallion. As she did, he said, "You are safe here. They will tell you the truth and you can believe what they say." A warm feeling of total safety flooded through her. It reminded her of the safety that she felt in the arms of her Grandfather. She felt the power of the medallion as it emphasized the truth of his words. She nodded and said, "I will do this." Ed left the room, looking back at her once before leaving the room. Outside his energy left him as he sagged against the wall and slid down to sit upon the floor. He could hear everything that was said inside, the distance between the participants in the discussion forced them to speak in loud voices. He listened as Beth said, "Ed has rescued many damsels in distress. In fact, he has saved so many young women that we kid him about it." Interrupting, Kelly said, "I think we should tell his story from his first rescue and proceed in chronological order." Sitting outside, he couldn't see the expressions and gestures that accompanied the discussion. It surprised him that they started with the earthquake in California since he hadn't viewed himself as rescuing any damsels. However, listening to them tell the story, he had calmed down the kids rescued from the fire, the women traumatized by the destruction around him, and had served as a model for other men to emulate. They did give much of credit for that to John, but he felt that they had overstated his role. He could hear the gasps from Kim as she learned about the amputation murderer and the white slavers. They didn't spare any details about the nature of the monsters they had caught nor what they had done to their victims. The discussion painted a very clear picture of good versus evil with Ed and John serving the good. The time passed slowly until the pair reached the story of the victim that had been held in the convenience store. They included that he had taken care of the mother as well as the daughter. They told how he had detailed to the mother and daughter how they were to act with the police, giving them a sense of control over the situation. The picture that they painted was of a man that knew evil when he saw it and that it was not possible to mislead him. He was shocked when they described his service to the Gods and Goddesses. They told how he had been blessed with the ability to always know the truth when presented with statements. The real surprise is when they said that he didn't necessarily know how people felt about him and that it was the one blind spot that he had. At the end, Kim knew they told the truth, but still couldn't accept it in a way that would help her conquer her demons. She said, "I hear what you say and know you believe that it is true, but I am having a hard time accepting it." Kelly said, "Bob, could you call Ling and ask her to bring my scrapbook? I give her permission to use the security override." Kim watched nervously as Bob went to the phone and made a call. Once he was finished on the phone, he stood next to the door for Ling to arrive. Ling arrived after a minute and looked down at Ed. There was no rational situation that she could identify that would explain his position in the hall. She asked, "What is going on?" Ed answered, "They are helping someone heal." Entering the door, she looked at Kelly. In a very business oriented tone of voice, she asked, "Do I have your permission to use the security override?" Negligently, Kelly replied, "Yes, you do. The scrapbook is in the draw of my desk upstairs in the study." Ling went to the room and entered the security override code. The next time that Kelly would go in the room, it would tell her that someone had unlocked her door without her being present. She found the scrapbook and returned to the pool room. Not allowing her in the room, Bob took the scrapbook from her and carried it over to Kim. Almost all of the episodes that the wives had described were documented in the scrapbook. There were citations from public officials and letters of thanks from the people he had saved. While she perused the scrapbook, Bob went through the business of attending to the comfort of the people around him. He distributed smoothies to Beth and Kelly, a diet coke to Kim, and an iced tea to Ed. He ordered a little snack tray for Kim and a larger one for the wives. After almost an hour of reading the articles in the scrapbook, Kim looked across the pool at the pair of woman talking quietly to each other. There were some things that bothered her in the articles she had read. When they noticed her looking at them, they turned their attention to her. She said, "Many of the things here include you two as active participants." Kelly answered, "Yes, we were there as medical support. It was John and Ed that did the rescuing." In a very soft voice that barely carried across the pool, Beth said, "We don't like to talk about our role in these things." Kim shouted, "Ed." Ed stood up and entered the room. The short amount of time, confirmed that he had been close and would have come in if anything bad had happened. She said, "Could you take me to my room?" Ed nodded as he answered, "Sure." Waiting for her to stand up, he was puzzled when she continued to sit. It dawned on him after a moment that she couldn't stand. He bent down and helped her out of the chair. When she started to collapse, he picked her up and carried her to her room. As he walked, she buried her head against him. At the room, he had to wait for her to use her palm on the scanner to open the door to the guest room. She carried her inside and set her on her bed. Sitting on the bed, he gently stroked her hair. As she relaxed, he said, "We will leave in the morning. You won't have to ever come back here if you don't want to." Relieved, she said, "Thank you." "You are welcome," replied Ed. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm sorry." "For what?" "If I had known, I might have done something different. I don't know what, but I would have tried to allow you to interact with them in a less exposed environment" Ed didn't really know what he could have done, but the nakedness in the pool room was probably a major problem. "Don't be that way. I knew that you guys were going to be naked and I thought I could handle it. I had no idea that I couldn't handle it, so how could you know?" Kim had buried the memories of her mistreatment by her aunt. While the idea of Lesbians had bothered her, she hadn't known that she would react in the fashion that she had. Ed said, "I'm going now. The door is secure against unauthorized access. It takes the security person and a member of the household to override it. That will also set off a general alarm in all of our rooms." Weakly, she said, "Thanks, good night." Ed left and returned to the pool room hoping to find his wives. Entering, he found the room empty. The glasses and plates had been cleaned up suggesting that everyone had assumed that the room was not going to be used. Undoubtedly, his wives had assumed that he would spend the night with Kim. He dropped his towel and stepped into the Jacuzzi, turning on the massage jets. After half an hour, he heard Kelly walk by the door. She happened to glance in and spot him. Entering the pool room, she sat down on a chair next to the Jacuzzi. With a sigh, she said, "I have no idea what really happened to that poor girl, but it must have been horrible." Sighing, Ed replied, "I could find out, but I won't invade her privacy that way." "I know," said Kelly. This evening had severely drained her emotionally. She asked, "What do Beth and I do when we are around her?" "The only thing you can and should do is be yourselves. Don't crowd her or make her feel trapped that she can't flee." "She must really fear us," said Kelly. She had seen how Kim had not been able to stand on her own. "I don't know if that is true or not," replied Ed. The human mind is a mysterious thing. The month with Beth had proved that to him. She had taken the death of Betsy and twisted it into guilt that she hadn't been a good enough slave. Believing that if she could be a good slave that it would bring Betsy back, the woman had nearly gone over the edge for good. Kelly didn't reply, knowing that there wasn't a reply to such a statement. Instead she said, "I think it would be best if she didn't come back here." "Why do you say that?" Kelly said, "Beth is in her room crying. This time, the anger was involuntary, just like a fevered patient that hits the nurse in the midst of a delirium. The next time, such anger will not be so easily excused." He understood her reasoning, but countered, "Let the patient recover and then if the anger explodes there will not be a reason to excuse it." Sighing, she said, "You're right. It is just so tough. I've never been the subject of unreasoning anger and fear." Looking across the pool, Ed answered, "Men see that occasionally. Women that have been raped or abused by someone they trusted often end up hating all men with unreasonable fear. We leave them alone, perhaps wrongly. I understand your feelings." "Do you see it often?" "Every time that I rescue a woman that has been in trouble, there is a moment where they look at me in that fashion," answered Ed. Getting out of the chair, Kelly leaned down and kissed Ed. She said, "I love you, Ed Biggers. Just keep going out there and rescuing those damsels in distress." Without giving Ed a chance to respond, she ran from the room. Watching her leave, Ed wondered what he had done. For the next few days he would be with Kim and perhaps in that time, some healing could begin. Ed woke in the morning, his normal groggy self. Dressing in his jeans and shirt, he went to the dining room in search of a cup of coffee. It wasn't until he was in the middle of his second cup that he noticed Kim and Marguerite was in the room with him. Smiling weakly, he said, "Good morning." Slightly embarrassed by her behavior the previous evening, Kim answered, "Yes, it is a good morning." Taking another drink of his coffee, Ed said, "I'm afraid that I'm not awake yet and haven't had a chance to look outside." Giggling, Marguerite said, "You have to ignore Ed until after he's finished his second cup of coffee. Before then, he says goofy things." Leaning over to Marguerite, Kim said, "I know." Marguerite joked, "Other than that, he's pretty harmless. Good in bed, but harmless." Kim laughed and left the dining room. As she left, she said, "You can let Beth and Kelly know that it is safe to come in for breakfast. I'm going to walk a bit before we leave." Marguerite did not have a chance to tell Kim that Beth and Kelly had already eaten. Turning her attention to Ed, she brought out his breakfast. Setting the Spanish omelet in front of him, she stepped back and smiled as he looked at the food. He finished his second cup and started to work on his third while he ate. Kim had decided to walk along the parapet looking over the desert. As she climbed the stairs, she heard female voices talking. She froze, not wanting to attract their attention. As had been the case that first night here, she could hear everything the two women said. The first thing she could clearly make out was Beth saying, "I felt so sorry for her last night that all I wanted to do was to hold her and comfort her. If I had done that, she would have thought I was trying to rape her. All I could do was sit there and watch her suffer." Hearing that, Kim was shocked that these women felt sorry for her. It didn't fit with what she knew about Lesbians. Kelly said, "I talked to Ed last night. He told me that whenever he helps a rape victim, she looks at him the same way that Kim looked at us. I have no idea how he can help someone after being looked at that way. All I wanted to do was cry. She must hurt so much." This conversation confused Kim more than anything that she had heard last night. How could someone look at Ed like he was a horrible? She had never seen him do anything harmful. Beth said, "I have worked so hard to learn how to heal wounds of the flesh. How does one heal wounds of the spirit?" Kelly answered with a question, "How did Lily Green heal you?" Beth answered, "I don't know. I was so out of my mind with grief about Betsy's death, that I couldn't think straight. Lily is a servant of the Goddess and that is her gift. There are times when I envy the Druids for their abilities." Kelly said, "It is easy to envy them for their abilities, but I feel sorry for them because of the price they pay. One look at John's body is enough to know that they pay a high price." Kim listened, confused about the talk of Druids. She did not understand the part about Beth being healed. She missed some of the discussion while trying to puzzle out what they had been talking about. Her attention returned when she heard Kelly say, "No matter how much she may hate us, I am glad that she is going with Ed." Beth said, "Yes, I worry about his out there alone too. He needs her, but probably not as much as she needs him." Kelly said, "Let's admit it. We need her more. We need her to go out there with him." Beth said, "I sleep better knowing that he isn't out there alone. I wish we could find someone for John. He goes out for so long that if he got hurt, we'd never know until after he died." Kim had totally mistaken their motives in connecting her with Ed. She hadn't realized they viewed her as a person to help him in case of trouble. Was letting her sleep with him the price they were willing to pay for that ease of mind? That was an awful high price to pay. She was about to leave when she heard Kelly say, "One day Ed will help her heal and then maybe we can be friends." "What do we do until then?" Laughing, Kelly said, "Ed suggested that we be ourselves. That we never crowd her or make her feel trapped." "Are you sure that he was a cowboy?" asked Beth. Laughing, Kelly answered, "Yes, I'm sure he was a cowboy. I watched him work cows one night." Kim went downstairs and returned to her room. She packed her clothes to be ready to leave when Ed was ready to go. She headed downstairs to wait for him. The only rooms she had really experienced were the dining room and pool room. She went to the dining room. Marguerite was sitting there drinking a cup of tea. Looking at Kim, she frowned and asked, "Are you okay?" Kim asked, "What do you know about Druids?" Marguerite answered, "I'm afraid I don't know that much. John and Ed are Druids. They are in the service of the Gods and Goddesses. They live by two rules. If it harms none, then do it. Protect the weak from the strong. All that live in this house must follow those rules as well." "Are Druids good?" Leaning forward and speaking in a low voice so that no one would overhear her, Marguerite said, "I think that John and Ed are saints. All of the Druids that I have met are special. They will step in front of a bullet meant for an innocent in a second." "What about Beth and Kelly?" asked Kim. Marguerite leaned back and said, "They are the most amazing women I've ever met. They are caring, giving, loving, and generous to a fault. They don't have to work, but every day they go into the hospital to help heal people. Actually, I think everyone in the family is a saint." John entered the dining room. He had returned from his trip late last night and would be here for two days before returning to his mission. Sitting down at the table, he looked at the pair of women and said, "I see we have a guest. Nice to have you back here Kim. I hope your visit has been pleasant." Realizing that John did not know about the unpleasantness of the previous evening, Kim answered, "I'm afraid that I haven't been a very good guest. You may want to talk to your wives." Raising an eyebrow at the admission, John asked, "Was anyone harmed as a result?" "I believe I have hurt their feelings. Some old wounds of mine were reopened, but the harm was done to me years ago," replied Kim. Marguerite watched the exchange hiding a smile behind her hands. She knew that John would handle the situation. Her feeling was confirmed when John said, "That is the problem with harm that has been inflicted upon people, particularly when they were young. It isn't that people mean to do any harm, but that the harm emerges unbidden and uncontrolled with a desire to spread the effect to others. It might be something as simple as a smell or a complex confluence of circumstances that serves as a trigger. The trick in halting such a propagation of harm is to understand its true roots and heal them." Kim nodded fascinated by what John was saying. Rapt, she listened as he continued, "My family is healthy enough to recognize that situation and not to allow it to harm them. So I would say to you that they are not harmed. For yourself, you now know it exists inside you. It is important that you work hard to heal it so that it can't emerge to harm others that are less healthy than my family." She asked, "What shall I do until I am healed?" No one had noticed that Ed had entered the room behind them. He startled everyone when he said, "You will go hunting rocks with me." John laughed and shook his head at the simple answer that Ed had given. He said, "Yes, that is a good idea. Life must go on." <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
