Chapter 33

Andy sort of cocked his head to one side, as Emily started

to break down the camera and the microphones. "I'm almost afraid to ask
what you mean by that, Jade," he said with a soft chuckle. "What does
'something else in mind' mean here?"

Jade blushed a little, looking away for just a moment before

turning back to look at him. "I've, I've been giving it a lot of thought,
Andy," she said, pausing a bit in between the words, as if she was making
sure she didn't chicken out of saying any of this. "And I've been talking
with Lauren some, and she's been an utter sweetheart about all of this, and
she's made me realize something,”

"Stop," Andy said. "Before you go any

further, I want you to make sure whatever it is you're about to ask for, it's
what you want. Not what Lauren wants, or what someone else suggested.
This is a once in a lifetime experience, and I don't want you to regret any
aspect of it."

"Oh. Oh! Oh, no! I wasn't,” she said, giggling a bit.

"I wasn't going to suggest I wanted this to be my first time! No no no,
not at all, Andy! Gosh! But, you remember I told you I wanted to record
a video to send to my father, to show him that he couldn't control me any more,
right?"

"Oh," he said, understanding where this was going.

"Sure, and you've changed your mind and don't want to do that any more, no
I get that."

"No!" Jade said, shaking her head quite

determined. "I still super want to do that, but I realized, uh, I'm going
to go a bit, no, a lot further than I think you're expecting me to. And
I don't want it to come as any great shock to you when I do."

Andy got a strange smile on his face, arching an eyebrow at

her. "I mean, I'm glad you're telling me in advance, because it might've
come as a surprise to me, but let's be real here, do you think you're going to
go further than anyone in this house has?"

Jade's eyes widened a little bit, then nodded with a little

impish smile. "Kinda? I mean, I'm not going to do anything you haven't
seen before, but I'm certainly gonna say some stuff that might shock you
a bit."

"Like...?"

The blonde woman sighed a little bit, folding her arms over

her ample chest. "So, in talking with Lauren a lot today, I realize that
I've been so darn shy with boys because of my dad, because of all the stupid
bull honk he told me over the years, because of all the expectations he put on
me, and I need,” She looked away again, trying to find the words she wanted to
say before looking back at him with those gorgeous green eyes of hers. "I need
to make as much of a break from him as I can. I need to make him want to
disown me, to get me out of his life, so he can't try and control me any more,
can't try and control you because I'm with you."

"This is starting to sound serious," he said, as

Emily tucked the camera into the bag, pushing it to one side. "You don't
need to do any editing with the footage from Tala?"

The tiny Brit shook her head. "Framed it clean and only

recorded what we needed, so no need to do any post work," she said.
"Besides, I need to be here to help support Jade. What she's going to ask
of you is, very brave."

"Very brave?" Andy said, looking at Emily before

looking back at Jade. "What are you going to ask of me?"

"I'm going to,” she said, stopping then starting again.

"I'm going to ask you to be okay with whatever I say during the
whole imprinting process, to not interrupt me, to let me get all of this out
onto film, that I'm going to send to my dad, so that he knows I don't want him
in my life, I don't need him in my life, and that he's not welcome in my
life."

"He's still your father. Are you sure you want to kick

him out for good?"

Jade sighed a little bit, sitting down on the bed next to

him. "That's just it, Andy. You don't know him like I do. You don't know
what I've been through growing up. How much he stressed that I had to be a prim
and proper lady. Proper forks, curtsying to the right depth, never speak at a
party unless spoken to first. That I couldn't have any fun because fun
reflected poorly on the family's legacy. He scared off every boy I tried dating
in high school and even well into college. He tried to keep me in some
protective bubble, where I would be reliant on him for everything, so that I
would do whatever he wanted me to. Did I tell you yet that he wanted me to have
an arranged marriage?"

"What? No! Really? In this day and age?"

"It gets worse," Emily said, taking the camera bag

to the door of the bedroom, handing it off to Nicolette, who was standing
there. "Take that downstairs and when Katie Couric's crew comes to pick it
up, hand it off to them with our thanks."

"Yes ma'am," Nicolette said, taking the bag from

her before heading down the hallway. Emily closed the door after she went,
leaving Andy in the room with four conscious women,  Jade, Emily, Sheridan
and Lauren,  and three unconscious women,  Tala, Fiona and Moira.

"Tell him who the person he wanted you to marry

was, Jade," Emily said, annoyance plain on her face. "He won't
believe it."

"It won't mean anything to him," Jade said,

"but okay. My father wanted me to get married to Benjamin Watkins.
He's  "

"I know who the fuck he is, Jade." Suddenly, Andy

was furious on Jade's behalf. "You've got to be fucking shitting me,"
he said angrily. "He's almost a decade younger than you, he's an asshole
and he's a selfish little prick. How could your father possibly think that
would be a good idea?"

"Wait, how do you even know who Benjamin is?"

Jade said, looking at her hands nervously.

Andy gave Jade the short version of the poker story,

explaining how he had originally gone to protect some of Niko's friends, but
had ended up winning even more people, and the last one, Deborah, had been
claimed by Benny before she could be brought over to Andy, which was why Hannah
had joined the family instead. Benny's awful behavior on his doorstep had left
Andy with a very bitter impression of the boy too stupid to be called a young
man.

"I mean," Andy said, "I can't imagine

Nathaniel, Benny's father, even going along with that. Had your dad
talked about it with him?"

"I think he wanted to convince me to go along

with it first before talking with the Watkins family," she grumbled.
"But I never agreed to it, because I wasn't going to let my father tell me
who I could or couldn't love, the jerk. And a couple of years ago, he stopped
talking about that entirely, and I think I finally figured out why."

"So what do you need from me with all of this,

Jade?" he said to her.

She smiled warmly at him. "See, that right there is how

I know I made the right dang choice, Andy," she said. "You're always
just asking how you can help, what you can do to make other people happy first.
It's never about what you want or need."

"I'm surrounded by a large number of beautiful women

all competing for my time and affection," he said with a laugh. "If I
ever start complaining about that, people should start punching me in the
kidneys."

"But yer still doin' a bangup job of makin' sure such a

diverse buncha Sheilas get along with one another, Andy," Lauren said to
him.

"It's the least I can do."

"Anyway," Jade said, "what I need is for you

to be okay with whatever I'm going to say in this video we're going to make.
It's, it's not going to be what you expect from me, and honestly, it might be
pushing your boundaries a little bit, but I need you to know that I'm
okay with it, and just because it's stuff I'm saying in the video doesn't mean
it's anything we have to actually do if you don't want to."

He reached over and brushed a hand across Jade's face

tenderly. "I mean, I only have a couple of complete hard passes in my
repertoire, but nobody's come up against any of those yet."

"Anything I should know about?"

"You don't want to peg, pee or poop on me, do

you?"

Jade giggled intensely, shaking her head. "God

no."

"Then it's probably fine."

"We'll see if you say that after you're done imprinting

me," she grinned.

"You won't hear anything I say right after I'm

done imprinting you," he chuckled

"How long does that last, anyway?" Jade asked.

"Well, I expect Whitney woke up a couple of hours ago,

and Tala will wake up tomorrow midday. Fi and Moira got it this morning, so
technically they should wake up in the middle of the night, but because it'll
be dark outside, they may just keep on sleeping until morning. You'll be out a
little longer than Tala will. It'll screw up your sleep schedule for a few
days, but before you know it, it'll be back to normal."

"I think we're pretty far from normal, Andy," Jade

said with a nervous laugh.

"You know what I mean."

"Sure sure, I know what you mean." Behind her,

Sheridan and Lauren helped moved Tala up, laying her down next to Moira and
Fiona's sleeping bodies.

"Do you want us to leave her here tonight, Andy, or put

her in her own bed?" Sheridan asked him, as they made sure that the three
women were close to each other without overlapping too much. Women in the
imprinting process made almost no movements when they were out, so it was
important to position them so they didn't have muscle cramps when they awoke.

"She said wanted to wake up in the main bed for her

first morning after imprinting, so she can just stay here," he said.
"Jade? What about you?"

"I'd like to do the same, if that's okay."

"Of course it's okay," he said, leaning in to give

her a sweet kiss, his fingertips brushing against her face once more. "I'm
trying to get you to relax."

"I know. I know I know, and I appreciate it," she

said with a shy smile. "You're so gosh darn sweet. But you don't know how
far I'm about to go down a path of depravity."

"You don't have “ "

"Andy," she said, resolve strong in her voice.

"I do have to do this, so just let me do it, okay?"

"Sure, okay."

"Should we, are you ready to get started?" she

said, looking up at him.

"Are you sure you don't want me to go hop

through a shower first? I'm still kinda sticky from my time spent with
Tala."

"No no, that'll make this all the better," she

said, moving to stand up. For her interview outfit, she'd chosen a long skirt
that hung down past her knees, but wasn't quite long enough to be considered a
dress, and a red silk blouse that hung loosely over her ample bosom.
"Emily, are you ready to start filming?"

"You're sure you want me to capture everything,

Jade?" Emily said. "I know we talked about this, but, everything?
Nudity and everything? To your father?"

Jade nodded, her gaze resolved. "I need to do this, Em,

so just film it all."

Emily shrugged a little, grabbing Jade's phone from the nightstand

next to the bed. "If you say so, love."

"Andy, could you stand up?" Jade said, as Emily

moved over towards Jade, getting ready to capture what was about to happen on
the iPhone.

He nodded, sliding up and off the bed, moving to stand, glad

that someone had turned on the heat in the house earlier in the day so he
wasn't cold, standing nude in the middle of his insanely large bedroom.

"Don't say much during this, okay, Andy?" Jade

asked him, imploringly. "I mean, if I ask you a direct question, and it doesn't
feel rhetorical, maybe answer, but err on the side of not saying anything. I
need this to be all about me rather than you, no matter how much I'm going to
talk about you during all of this."

"Okay, I'll try and be quiet as much as I can

then."

"Great. Super. Thank you. Oh, if you hear me calling

myself Button, it was his nickname for me growing up. So that's where that
comes from. Anyway, let's get to it. Em?" she said, looking over to Emily,
who was framing all of Jade in the shot on the phone.

"Aaaaand, action!" Emily said, just before she hit

the record button.

Jade offered a brief, almost reticent smile, and it was gone

as quickly as it appeared. "Hi Daddy. Button here and this is going to be
the last time I reach out to you." She started slowly unbuttoning her
blouse, letting it fall open, to reveal an ornate black lacy bra on beneath.
"I know you wanted me to move back home until the whole plague passed, but
that's not going to happen. I'm done living by your rules, not just regarding
this, but everything."

Andy actually felt a little bit nervous, not about being

seen naked on camera, but for what Jade was going to say. She'd been
purposefully vague with him, but he trusted her that she was only doing
whatever she thought was necessary.

"You always wanted to keep your little Button under

your thumb, didn't you Daddy?" she said, sliding the blouse entirely off,
tossing it aside. "But a couple of years ago, around the five year
anniversary of Mom's passing, the things you said to me changed and started
getting creepy. You kept talking about how much I reminded you of Mom when she
was my age, how much you missed her and how your needs weren't being met."

Oh, Andy thought to himself. OH. Oh shit.

"I tried to tell myself that you didn't mean it, that

you didn't realize what you were saying, or how inappropriate it was to be
talking about your own daughter that way, but the more I told myself that, the
more you seemed to be doing it."

She unhooked the waist of her skirt and then let it drop to

her ankles, stepping out of it before kicking off her boots, leaving her in the
black bra and a matching set of black panties.

"But the more I thought about it, the more I realized

you weren't looking at me thinking about Mom. You were looking at me thinking I
could replace Mom, and that's fucking creepy, Dad."

She was fit, more fit than Andy had realized when she'd

shown up in the cheerleader outfit yesterday, and her body was as toned and
lithe as Sheridan's was, although maybe a little more muscular. She was an athlete,
more like Piper, and she took great pride in showing her body to Andy, it
seemed, or maybe showing off to her father, lashing out at him for his actions.

"You wanted me to move back into the mansion so you

could get me imprinted to you, didn't you, you sick fuck? You wanted your own
daughter bound to you by science, reliant on your cum to keep her alive? Do you
know how disgusting that is? How much it horrifies me?"

She unclasped her bra behind her back and pulled it forward

and off, tossing it aside, exposing her tits to both Andy and the camera, large
proud swells that were just the perfect size for her body, as tanned as the
rest of her, although her nipples were a bright rosy pink.

"But you've lusted after your own daughter, haven't

you, you sicko? You thought your wealth would let you get away with the
ultimate betrayal, to have a perversion that you should have never even thought
about," she growled.

Andy understood now why she'd been so angry when she'd

talked to him earlier in the day. Jade had clearly been thinking about her
father's actions in light of what she knew about the process now, and had put
two and two together to get a pretty unpleasant four. And now she was making
sure her father understood that he was dead to her.

"It bothers you, doesn't it, Daddy, hearing your

precious little Button talking like some dirty whore? Swearing so fucking
casually when you tried to drill it into her head that she should always be
ladylike? Never act like some kind of cheap slut, never let a boy see or touch
her special places."

Jade's face was one of rage now, as she grabbed her panties

and shoved them down, stepping out of them, leaving her fully exposed. She had
a large triangle shaped blonde bush, neatly trimmed but still of a decent size.
She also had no tanlines of any kind, making it clear she tanned in the buff,
her whole skin that golden shade, the perfect California girl.

"I hope seeing this video gives you a fucking heart

attack, you asshole, because you're going to witness me guaranteeing
that you can never fucking have me," she said, her hands on her
hips, not making any effort to hide or conceal any of her gorgeous body.

Andy hoped that the video did the trick, but if his time in

New Eden had taught him anything, it was that the super rich were capable of
nearly anything, and there were no other words to describe Jade's father,
Cormack Dillon, quite so succinctly as "super rich," and that meant
the man stood every chance of continuing to be a problem.

"I took the DuoHalo immunity treatment yesterday, which

means I'm going to get imprinted onto a man, to get the other half of it, and I
know you know what that means," she said, sliding one hand over one
of her tits, cupping it, for both the camera's eye as well as Andy's.
"That means I'm going to be imprinted onto a man, a man who isn't
you."

Jade's nipple stiffened to her touch, and Andy could hear

Lauren and Sheridan moving a little behind him, making sure they were
completely out of the path, but he also wondered if the two weren't starting to
play with themselves at least a little, because Jade had gone from schoolmarm
to raw sexual carnage faster than a Lambo went from 0 to 60.

"You know what that means?" Jade said, a coy smile

on her face as her tongue licked her lips. "He's going to be my new
Daddy, a better Daddy, a good Daddy, and he's gonna reap all the benefits that
a good Daddy deserves."

Her other hand moved to rub between her thighs, stroking

across her cunt quite nervously, but her smile was practically eager.

"I laid awake so many nights, playing with my cunt,

wondering what my life was going to be like when I finally gave my cherry to
someone, your words ringing in my ears how I needed to choose carefully, to
pick someone who would make the family proud over someone who made me feel all
warm and wobbly."

Andy could feel her slowly closing the distance between

them, Emily doing her best to keep her framed in the shot the entire time.

"But that was what you wanted, and you're dead to me

now. So I'm gonna give my cherry to my new Daddy, to a man that I chose
to be with. And I'm not gonna be prim and proper about it, oh no," she
purred. "I'm gonna be every bit the slut you were afraid I would
turn into and more."

She was only a few feet away from him when she slowly moved

down onto her knees, keeping her head tipped up proudly.

"He wanted to wash his cock off before I sucked him

off, but I told him no," Jade giggled, scooting on her knees closer to
Andy now. "I liked the idea of his cock being slick from the cunt of some
other girl he'd just fucked when I blew him for the first time, so I'd get my
first taste of cunt with Daddy's cock."

She reached forward and grabbed Andy's shaft, giving it a

gentle stroke.

"See how much bigger my Daddy's cock is than yours, you

senile old fucker? See how slick it is with the juices of some bitch he just
met yesterday, another slut who's going to tend to his needs just like I'm
going to? God, it smells so fucking good. Can I have a lick, Daddy? Just a
little one?"

Her intense green eyes were looking up at him, so Andy just

nodded in response, as Jade let out a thankful, eager moan.

"Oh thank you Daddy," she purred. "I

just can't wait to be a good little Daddy's girl."

Andy was glad she'd had the talk with him before this,

because she'd been right,  he might have been a little uncomfortable with
this had she not given him some advance warning. But she seemed to be enjoying
stroking his cock for the camera, and when she leaned in, he knew what was
going to happen, even if she didn't, not entirely.

She'd intended to drag her tongue from the base of his cock

to the tip, but only got about half way up before the mix of his semen and
Tala's juices sunk into her bloodstream enough to begin the priming process,
and she suddenly leaned her head back, looking straight up at the ceiling with
completely defocused eyes, an intensely shredded moan erupting from her throat,
that priming orgasm exploding through her body.

Jade was back on her haunches, practically sitting on her

heels, as her entire body shivered and quaked, the intensity of the orgasm a
surprise even to Andy, who'd seen this thing happen more than anyone. The
imprinting process had affected Jade stronger than anyone he'd previously
paired with.

"Jesus Fucking Christ," Jade hissed,

finally having recovered enough strength to pull her head forward again.
"That was the most intense fucking thing I've ever felt, Daddy. And I'm
just getting started, because I have to thank Daddy for the gift he's giving me
by taking me into his family."

She kissed along the length of his cock slowly, never once

taking her eyes off of Andy's, Emily having moved in, standing on the bed
behind him, so she could look down with the camera. He even felt one of Emily's
hand on his shoulder, making sure she was balanced properly.

"I'm gonna be such a good little slut for you,

Daddy," she whimpered. "I can't wait to feel you inside my cherry
cheerleader cunt, to be the first and only cock I ever have inside of my sweet
snatch. God, you're gonna feel so good, aren't you, Daddy?"

Andy couldn't help but smirk for a moment, because he could

feel Emily's nipples were rock hard through her top, pressed against his back
while she continued to film. Clearly, the Brit was getting turned on by what
she was watching.

"That's not all I'm gonna give you, Daddy," Jade

said, licking the taste of him and Tala from her lips. "I'm gonna give you
everything. I'm gonna do everything. After an entire life of saying no no no,
all I'm gonna tell my new Daddy is yes yes yes."

She was starting to cradle his balls now, and he felt like

that was a warning that she was about to crank up the tempo on him.

"If Daddy wants to fuck me, I'll ask what position

while I'm spreading my legs to show him I'm already wet for him. If Daddy wants
me to blow him, I'll start sucking on his cock right away, no matter where we
are or who's around. If he wants to knock me up, I'll beg him to breed
me like his good little bitch in heat, even if we aren't married." She
shivered a little bit, looking down for a second before gazing back up.
"If Daddy wants to fuck me in the ass, I'll hold my cheeks apart
and beg him to do it to me hard and fast, just like a good little slut, just
like his good little slut should."

He couldn't help himself, and his cock throbbed at that, not

just from her description of it, but from the look in her eyes as she said it,
like she was revealing some hidden desire that she hadn't known she wanted
until she spoke the words aloud, and now that she had, it was burrowing hold in
her psyche, not for now, but something definitely to be revisited lately. The
look on her face was one of eagerness, like she was reveling in who she was
after hiding it for so long.

"To keep boys from fucking me, I had to learn how to

become not just a good cocksucker, but the best cocksucker, able to get
a boy off within just a minute or two of wrapping my lips around his cock, but
I don't want my new Daddy to feel like he's being rushed, so enjoy this
Daddy."

Jade wrapped her lips around the head of his cock and slowly

pushed her face down onto it, her lustrous green eyes holding his gaze the
entire time, until she had her lips down around the base of his cock, no sign
of coughing or choking, like she'd managed to suppress her gag reflex entirely.

She slowly drew her head back, sliding her mouth off his

cock with a wet pop as she grinned up at the camera. "You see that,
Cormack? That's the view you always wanted of your daughter, isn't it, you
twisted asshole? Down on her fucking knees with her tits out, looking up at
you, her lips wrapped around your cock? But it's not your cock, is it
shithead?"

As she pushed her head back down onto his cock again, Andy

did everything he could to keep his moan quiet, but a little bit of it slipped
out, and that made Jade smile as she pulled back from his cock once more.

"Hear that, Cormack? That's my new Daddy,

enjoying what a good little cocksucker he's got. I asked him to stay quiet, but
I'm just too skilled at sucking cock that he can't keep still. So I hope you
fuck off and die, because I'm gonna get what I want now, I'm gonna be
happy without you, I'm gonna get bonded to this beautiful fucking stud of a
man, and he's gonna be my Daddy forever, and you're just going to be dead to
me, so the sooner you fuck off and die, the better. Goodbye forever
Cormack."

After she said that, she started thrusting her head down his

cock over and over, going from tip to base time and time again, making as much
noise as she could, as much performance as it was blowjob, but damn if
she wasn't right, and it was the best blowjob he'd ever gotten.

Jade had total control over when his orgasm was going to

hit, and just when he thought he was about to pop, she backed him away from it,
just to prove that she could, then when he thought she was slowing down to
prolong the video, she attacked once more, and started bobbing her head across
his shaft faster and faster, and there was no stopping the collision course
they were headed on.

He wanted to put his hands on her head, but Emily seemed to

have the shot framed exactly as she wanted, and Jade was doing her best to keep
her eyes on his face and the camera the entire time, and when the moment of his
release happened, he wasn't even sure where she was looking, because the
intensity of the orgasm was brutal, easily the hardest he'd ever come from a blowjob.

His cock blasted a hot load of cum against the back of her

throat, as her lips sealed in a vacuum lock around the head of his cock,
sealing him in there, not letting a drop of it spill out, all of it pouring
directly into her belly, as her green eyes finally rolled back in her skull.
Her mouth finally popped off his cock as she started to fall backwards, and
Lauren darted in suddenly to slide her arms beneath Jade's shoulders, catching
her and cradling her to lower her down onto her back, pulling her away slightly
to let her legs unfold from beneath her, as Emily moved off the bed, jumping to
the floor, slowly crouching down to finish on Jade's face, as the bubbly blonde
proudly said 'imprinting' over and over again, an accomplished smile wide on her
face.

Emily tapped the Stop Recording button on the phone, and

then exhaled a deep breath. "Holy fuck!" she shouted, taking one of
her hands to fan her face. "I know she said to expect it to be out of
character for her, but can I once again reiterate, holy fuck!" She giggled
wildly, licking her lips. "I can't tell if I should send her father this
video first or do my best to convince you that you can handle another round
right here and now, Andrew, because, in closing, holy fuck was that hot!"

Andy laughed a little bit, shaking his head. "No more.

No more rounds for today. The House of Rook is officially doing no more
deliveries tonight!" He crouched down and scooped Jade up into his arms,
 she was light, although Emily and Lauren helped him anyway,  as he
lifted her up and onto the bed, laying her down next to Tala.

Once there, he moved the four of them,  Jade, Tala,

Fiona and Moira,  over to one side of the bed, not pushing them off, but
making sure there would still be room for his usual group of people to crawl
into the bed as well in a few hours time.

"Well, at the very least, I can take care of you in the

shower before you make your run to Target tonight," Emily said to him.

"God, can't it wait until tomorrow?" he groaned,

before raising his hand. "No no, I know, we need to do it, and I agreed to
do it tonight. Okay, let's go shower, and then a handful of us can make the run
out and pick up supplies."

After a very nice shower with Emily and Sheridan, where both

girls steadfastly avoided getting their hair wet, Andy felt cleaned up and
ready to round out his day. He hadn't even had dinner yet, but he decided that
could wait until after the Target run.

One of the things he'd learned early on, before they'd even

gotten to New Eden even, was that women who lived together didn't really sync
their periods up, but with a typical period lasting about five days, the more
women in a household, the more likely it was someone needed additional feminine
supplies. With the size of household now, he'd learned they were the most vital
supply the household needed, and never, ever ever to be without.

Whenever he went on a supply run, the girls drew names from

a hat to decide who would go with him, because inevitably whoever went found a
handful of things they just had to have and brought them home, and going to a
Target with his entire family was beyond unwieldy. So as Andy checked his
shopping list, the girls did their little drawing. Hannah, Aisling and Sarah
won, and so the four loaded up into the Tesla Model Y and headed down to the
Target.

There were many things he was appreciative of about the home

in New Eden that the government had gifted him with, but the one he noticed the
most was its completely self reliance. The entire roof of the mansion was
covered in solar panels, and Andy had been told there was a small field of them
further out on his property, in the middle of a natural glade, that ran back to
his house, which had power walls, storing all of that excess power. The cars
were all electric. Phil had joked around that if New Eden were hit by the worst
possible of storms, the town would be self sustaining for a few months before
food would be the eventual first issue.

Target was one of the few well established brand stores

within the walls of New Eden, but it was handy enough that everyone seemed to
overlook it not being a local business. There were a handful of cars in the
parking lot, but it looked far from crowded. Andy parked the car and then
headed in, as Hannah grabbed them a shopping cart. Andy hoped they'd only need
the one, but at least half of the time, these trips involved getting a second
cart.

Most of his list was relatively short,  cat food, cat

litter, cleaning fluid for his electric shaver, vanilla Coke if he could find
it,  but the girls had their own list, and it was compiled from all the
girls in the house. They mostly didn't have to do groceries,  Jenny and
Katie made their own weekly run to the grocery store to keep the house stocked,
 but everyone had little things they wanted for themselves.

Nicolette had toilet paper delivered in bulk and was trying

to convince the household to bulk order feminine supplies as well, but it
seemed like each of the women in the house had their own deeply held
preferences. Andy suspected Nicolette would win out in the end, and that bulk
deliveries in the near future would start including things like pads and
tampons (as well as diapers and other such baby supplies) eventually.

For now, though, everyone was still eager to get out of the

house every chance they could, the fatigue of being quarantined to a single
space, even one as wonderful as the Rook Manor, getting to each of them a
little bit.

"Okay girls, let's split up and cover ground a

bit," Ash said to the other two, "and we can meet up with Andy back
in the pet supplies."

Sarah, Hannah and Aisling each put a hand on top of one of

the others and then said in unison "Go Rookies!" And like that, they
each went their own separate direction into the large Super Target, as Andy
headed over to pick up his electric razor cleaning fluid.

Since their arrival, both Sarah and Emily had been trying to

convince Andy to move to disposable razor blades, or even a straight razor, for
shaving, but Andy had been using an electric since college and found the
convenience of it too great to give up. Jenny had assured the two actresses
that once Alexis showed up, Andy would learn the joy of having his face shaven
by a woman with a straight razor, and once he did, he'd never want to go back.
But even when she showed up tomorrow, she'd need to convince him it was the
right call, so until then, he would stick to his old ways.

Before he could make his way out of the razor section, Sarah

came bounding around the corner, a package full of pads in one hand, a handful
of make up supplies in the other, tossing all of them into the cart. "Hey,
like, did you know Nate Watkins was gonna be here tonight? I saw him and one of
his partners coming in as I was heading here," she said, leaning in to
kiss his cheek.

"I didn't," Andy said, "but it's not that big

a community, so people are bound to run into one another here."

"Did Phil tell you how many households are here in New

Eden?" she said, sliding her arm around his waist, her body taller than
his, something he still hadn't fully gotten used to.

"I asked him, and I think he said about 400, although

it's pretty scattered out, and some of the households are way bigger than
others. We're definitely one of the bigger ones, although there's pressure on
everyone to grow a bit, considering the news that'll be hitting in a couple of
days."

The two of them headed over to the soft drinks, and Andy was

delighted to find that not only did they have vanilla Coke, they also had
vanilla cherry Coke and orange vanilla Coke, so he grabbed a twelve pack of
each, sliding them on the flat tray beneath the main cart itself, knowing to
leave as much of the basket open for the girls as he could.

"I imagine that poor Lily's going to go mental when she

hears she's going to have to share poor Eric with even more girls," Ash
said, tossing her collection of things into the basket. She'd come from behind
Sarah and Andy, so neither had seen her coming. "But she'll just have to
cope like the rest of us have."

"She'll be extra picky on Eric's behalf," Andy

said with a quiet smirk. "He won't want to kick up a fuss about who they
send, so she'll take over the whole process and make sure nobody rocks the boat
over there."

"I meant to ask," Sarah said. "How come

Eric's got a Chinese last name when he's Japanese?"

"Well, he's actually half and half," Andy said,

"but he prefers to think of himself as Japanese first and foremost, I
guess, so that's how I've always thought of him. His Dad's Chinese but his mom
is Japanese. They met after they'd both immigrated here in the 70s to work for
tech companies. It's kind of a cute love story. They met in a class to learn
English as a second language, so his dad never learned any Japanese and his mom
never learned any Mandarin or Cantonese, and they only ever spoke English to
each other in the house. They're both very nice people. Eric sort of speaks all
three languages, but none of them that well. His Japanese is better than his
Cantonese, though, or so he tells me."

"That's funny," Ash said. "Lily's story is

pretty much the same, half Chinese half Japanese. I guess their kids will keep
the same ratio then."

"Once they get around to them," Andy said.

"You heard Lily, love," Ash giggled. "She's

gonna get a child out of Eric even if it kills him. Her clock isn't just
ticking, it's pounding out a drum beat."

"No no, that's just Lily taking him Amazon style,"

Andy said, and both Sarah and Ash descended into fits of laughter at that, as
he smirked and pushed the cart onward.

They kept walking as Sarah and Ash each picked up a few

things here and there,  scented candles, Fabreeze, some picture frames,
 as they headed towards the pet section. "Don't freak out,
Andy," Sarah said, "but I'm going to be grabbing some dog food for
Maya's two pups."

Andy arched an eyebrow. "Not once did you or Emily ever

mention that Maya had dogs," he said, trying to put on his most
disappointed look. "Don't you think that's something you should've
mentioned, what with me having a couple of cats?"

"That's fair, completely fair, but hear me out, just

for a moment, on a counter argument," Sarah said, talking slowly, as if
she was struggling to think of what she wanted to say.

"Ok,”

Sarah glanced over at Ash, who offered a sympathetic shrug,

then back at Andy, and suddenly she grabbed him and kissed him hard, wrapping
her arms around him in a constrictive hug before she pulled from the kiss and
clenched him more tightly. "Okay, so we totally didn't mention it, and
that's totally on Emily and me, but they're just two little Pomeranians, and
they're super cute, and they're named Stan and Ollie, and I know we should've
told you, but we asked Ash, and she said you're not allergic, and she didn't
think you'd be upset, and I don't know why we didn't mention it during the
presentations, but we didn't, and then you said yes, and we were both just so excited,
and at that point, you were into the idea, and it didn't even occur to us that
you might not like dogs, because I mean who doesn't love dogs, am I right, and
I wasn't even thinking about it because Emily said she was gonna tell you but
then she put dog food on the list for me to grab and now here I am, trying to
convince you that it would be criminal to turn those two sweet little adorable
faces away or hide them out back or anything when they're super well trained
and lovable and  " She suddenly pulled back, glanced over at Ash, who
was desperately trying to keep from breaking out into laughter, then back at
Andy, sighing. "And you totally knew the dogs were coming and were fucking
with me, weren't you?"

At that point, Andy could finally let out the laughter that

had been building and building and building inside of him as Sarah had just
kept talking and talking and talking and some part of him had wanted to
let her off the hook right away, but it had just so much funnier with every
word. Ash was leaning against the cart, she was laughing so hard, once she
finally broke.

Andy squeezed Sarah tightly then pulled back and kissed her

softly. "Of course the dogs are okay, Sarah," he said. "But you
two definitely should have told me during the pitch, just in case I was
allergic to dogs, which I'm not. But Emily brought it up to me yesterday, and I
gave her a bit of stick for it, and she suggested this was how I gave you stick
for your part in the matter."

"Emily knew you were gonna put me up to

this?" Sarah said, tilting her head to look upward. "Oh, the shit I'm
gonna give that bitch when I see her,”

Andy swatted his hand on Sarah's ass with a loud slap, which

made her jolt a little bit into him. "Now now, I said the matter's closed,
and the matter's closed, got it?"

"You're fucking lucky you're so damn lovable yourself,

mister man," she joked, rolling her eyes. "But okay, I guess we
earned that."

"Oh, Ker rist I wish I'd recorded that," Ash said,

finally easing off of her laughing. "I don't know how she let that
sentence run that far, but I think it could have sprinted past Piper!"

As they arrived in the pet section, Hannah came to meet up

with them, Nathaniel and his female partner in tow. She saw that Ash was wiping
tears from her eyes still and pouted. "Aw, I missed the whole dog food
fake fight, didn't I?" she said. "Oh well, look who I ran into!"

It didn't surprise Andy that Hannah had stopped to talk to

Nathaniel Watkins and his partner, as Watkins had been the man to bring Hannah
over to him originally, which meant he'd know the Asian cheerleader longer than
he had.

Watkins was dressed, as ever, in cargo shorts, a bright

Hawaiian shirt, socks and sandals, his black hair drawn back into a man bun, a
pair of thin spectacles over his eyes. The woman next to him looked five to ten
years younger than him, in probably her early to mid thirties, with eastern
European features, jet black hair in bangs that hung down to her collarbone,
dressed in a large loose t shirt that said "Cal Poly" on the front of
it, and baggy sweatpants. It was clear, both had just decided to run errands in
whatever they'd been lounging around the house in, although Watkins himself
hadn't looked all that different at the poker night, or either of the times
he'd come over to Andy's house, so Andy couldn't help but wonder if that was
the man's standard look.

Chapter 34

Uncharacteristically, Andy woke up at around 6 a.m.,

noticing that Fiona wasn't in the bed with all of them. He'd suspected that
both she and Moira would wake up sometime in the middle of the night, but he'd
hoped that they'd still sleep in some and get accustomed to local time a bit
more. Fi, it seemed, couldn't do that.

As carefully as he could, Andy extricated himself from the

pile of naked female bodies around him and slipped out of bed. When it had been
just him, Ash, Lauren and Niko, in the early days, anyone trying to leave the
bed would wake everyone up, but now, after the last month or so of constant
additions, people had grown much more acclimated to people moving, sliding in
and out of the bed during the night without waking up.

Currently the bed held Moira, Niko, Sarah, Emily, Tala,

Sheridan, Lauren and Jade. He'd been a little surprised the night before when
both Sheridan and Lauren had crawled into the bed as everyone was shutting down
for the night, but both women insisted they each wanted their friend to have a
familiar face nearby when they woke up in the house for the first time. He said
he completely understood and respected that.

He grabbed one his big t shirts, this one for the

Chapterhouse album "Whirlpool," pulled on some boxers and some
sweatpants and went to go find where Fiona had gotten herself to.

Andy didn't have far to look. When he pulled the shirt on,

he could see motion on the covered balcony just outside of the master bedroom,
and figured it had to be her.

He opened the sliding door as quietly as he possible,

hearing the sound of heavy raindrops falling just feet away from the balcony,
the wind not heavy enough to force them beneath the overhang. Fiona was wearing
a cable knit sweater and Lululemon yoga pants, leaning against the railing, it
still cool enough outside for her breath to leave a telltale cloud in the air
in front of her.

"This is California," she said, her voice laying

plain her amusement with the weather. "I was promised sunshine and warm
weather all the damn time."

"It's raining," he said, moving to stand beside

her. "And we need it, so don't jinx it and make it stop. Besides, it was
raining the day you asked me and Xander to move in with you."

She laughed a little bit, shaking her head slightly. "I

can't believe you remember that," she said. "And, for the record, I
asked you to move in with me, and I knew that Xander came as part of the
deal at the time, because you weren't going to leave him hanging. How's he
doing, anyway? I haven't talked to him since college."

"You can ask him yourself when he gets here in a

while."

Fi turned to look at him, arching one of her impeccably well

kept eyebrows in his direction. "He is not moving into this house,
Andrew. This isn't the old days."

Andy laughed, shaking his head. "I didn't mean here

here, as in Rook Manor, but he's moving into New Eden, so he won't be too far
away." He went to slide an arm around her waist, just a little hesitation
in his motion, but she immediately slid in firmly against him, pressing her
body against his.

"I knew that, Andy. I was fucking with you. Jesus,

you're an idiot sometimes," she sighed with a wide smile on her face.
"So it's lucky you're so damn cute."

He rolled his eyes a little bit. "Nobody thinks I'm

cute but you."

"Bullshit. Moira thinks you're cute."

"Fine. Nobody but you and Moira."

"And Niko and Emily and,”

"Okay, okay, I get the point," he laughed, leaning

down to kiss her forehead. "God, I missed you, Fi."

"Me too. So next time, maybe call, huh?"

He smirked. "You're gonna hold this over my head for a

while, aren't you?"

She giggled a little, nodding. "Oh yeah,

bigtime. But you know me. I'll get bored with it at some point, and tease you
about something new, once I have something new." Her right hand rested on
his left arm, which was folded and pressed against the railing. "How the
hell did we get to here, Andy?"

"I mean, there's all of my life before May of this

year, and then there's this year, and one of them is a lot more boring than the
other, but I'll tell you all about both, given enough time. I am sorry I
didn't try and find you after you cut me out, but to be fair, I didn't think
you wanted me to."

She nodded, giving a little shrug. "I was angry and I

was dumb, Andy. It wasn't a good combination. And when I was old enough to know
better, I was too scared, thinking you'd just moved on and didn't ever think
about me any more."

He had a short bark of laughter, shaking his head.

"Yeah, get that fucking idea right out of your head now. After we
split, I only had one serious girlfriend, and that was because I was comparing
them to you all the time and nobody ever lived up to you."

"Not even the one serious girlfriend?"

"Especially not the one serious girlfriend, but

at that point, I thought maybe it was me, and I was the one doing things wrong,
so I stuck with it longer than I should've. You'll end up meeting her at some
point around New Eden and then you'll ask yourself how she and I ever dated as
long as we did."

"That bad, huh?" she said, giving his arm a

squeeze. She always knew exactly the level of physical touch he needed to feel
reassured or put at ease.

"That bad and a whole hell of a lot worse."

That hung in the air for a minute or two with nobody saying

anything.

"You seem to have done alright for yourself this year,

though," she teased. "Two actresses, two cheerleaders, an Irish lass,
an Aussie, a Native knockout, a couple of athletes, an Indian knockout and your
own personal staff including an honest to god French maid. I'm shocked you
could find time to pencil me and Moira in."

"I certainly never intended  "

She reached a fingertip up to his lips to stop him from

talking. "I spent a great deal of time between my arrival at the base and
my injection with the serum talking about you with Niko, and she assures me
that you've done everything you can to be the best man anyone here can ask for,
so whatever you intended, it doesn't really matter anymore, does it? What
matters now is that you've got a wonderful, if a bit immense, family, and that
you wanted me and Moira to be a part of it."

"Speaking of Moira, how long have you two been

together?"

Fi grinned, leaning her head against his chest. "About

four years now. It's the reason I didn't put anything about my relationship
status on my Facebook page. Didn't want Mom and Dad throwing a shitfit about
it. Well, mostly Mom, I think."

"So it's been serious for a while now."

"Very," she said. "And she's the one who's

been bitching at me to reach out to you for the last couple of years, so don't
worry about her being jealous of you or anything. On our way here, she was
telling me that it's felt like the entire time we've been together, there's
been a part of me missing, and how she was sure that you had the missing part
of me. I'm surprised you never reached out to her."

"I never got her contact information all those years

ago," he chuckled. "Hell, I didn't even get her last name. I still
didn't know it until Niko told me yesterday."

"Oh my god, really?" Fi giggled. "I guess

that makes sense, because I know you would've remembered it if you'd ever
learned it. You loved that damn silly movie."

"Madam, I will not permit you to impugn

'Highlander' on these grounds."

"Oh hush," she said. "But yes, you're going

to be taking a bride from the Clan MacLeod, but there cannot only be one. You
owe me a ring as well, mister."

"You think that'll satiate the bloodlust of Mr. &

Mrs. Smith?" he said, referring to her parents.

"They already know you're back in this picture and are

ecstatic," she said, kissing his cheek. "I mean, Mom's a little less
thrilled with how many wives you're going to have, but I told her with
all the deaths, that's the way it's going to work in this country for our
generation. She's still wrapping her head around it."

"Everyone in your family okay? All your brothers?"

"All three were smart and locked down immediately, so

everyone's okay. I'm glad you asked."

"And Moira's family?"

"Her mom's all that's left, and Scotland's not had a

lot of problems with DuoHalo, since they seemed to take lockdown extremely
seriously in the smaller villages. You can talk to her about her mom when she's
up. It'll mean a lot to her that you're asking."

"So how did you two hook up again?"

Fiona sighed again, slumping into his body a little more.

"How much of my writing career did you follow after we split?"

"Most of it?" he chuckled. "I set up a Google

Alert to notify me whenever your byline appeared."

"You stalker," she giggled, waiting just the

perfect beat before speaking again. "It's okay; I had one set up on you as
well. Uh, two, actually, one for your real name and one for your pen name, once
I read an article about that. Thanks for making that hard on me."

"I didn't expect anyone to be following my fiction

writing, Fi. But carry on with your story."

"Do you remember that story I wrote about about five

years back on the Syrian civil war?"

"I remember you wrote a whole series of them. What,

seven or eight different pieces?"

She smiled up at him. "Gold star for robot boy,"

she said with a smirk. "You really were paying attention. That's
nice to know. Anyway, the one about the Doctors Without Borders that were
crossing into the firefights to provide medical aid to civilians caught in the
crossfire."

"Oh yeah," he said. "Those people sounded

amazingly brave."

"Moira was one of those people," Fi said.

"Running out into firefights, scooping up kids and pulling shrapnel out of
them. One of the bravest people I'd ever met, but she's been doing it for a few
years, and it was starting to take a real toll on her, so I invited her to come
and visit DC. A few weeks later she'd gotten a job at a hospital in Georgetown.
A couple of months later we started dating. Half a year later, she moved in
with me. About two years ago, we decided we both wanted to get the fuck out of
DC forever, but weren't sure where to go."

"Around the time you added me and Xander on

Facebook."

"Actually, I have a confession to make,  Moira

sent you the friend request from my account," she sighed. "I was
convinced you didn't even think about me any more, so one day when we were
fighting, she just sat down at my computer, found you on Facebook and sent you
the friend request before I could stop her."

"And then you and I played the biggest, dumbest game of

virtual chicken ever, waiting for the other one to reach out first," he
sighed. "God, we're fucking stupid some days."
