Summoned Again?

Chapter 151: Normal Is Overrated

I left Susan in bed and had a quick shower, just so she wasn't tempted to join me, then I went out to the kitchen to cook supper. Nat and a very happy Crystal showed up half an hour later, both wearing overalls and pretty much covered in paint, which made me laugh.

I should have held off on my shower. I said and they both beamed smiles at me. Hands clean?

They both nodded and sat down at the kitchen table. I moved the laptop back over to the kitchen counter and checked the chicken.

Another few minutes. I said and started mashing the potatoes and saw Crystal almost vibrating on the chair. You look like you're going to burst. I joked. Go ahead and tell me what you did.

Crystal's mouth opened and a stream of words flowed out. I couldn't even tell when she took a breath, because she talked so fast. Nat was having a hard time not laughing at it while I finished making supper for us.

Susan came out of the bathroom wearing loose jeans and a sports bra under a tank top. She couldn't help but smile as she sat down and heard Crystal's continuous commentary of the virtues of art and how fun it was. I served everyone and Crystal didn't stop talking, even when she started eating the chicken legs. She talked between bites of chicken and spoonfuls of butter covered mashed potatoes.

I had to admit that it was pretty impressive and I saw similar impressed looks on both Nat and Susan's faces. It took Crystal a long time to run out of things to talk about. When she was done, her fingers, face, and overalls were covered in barbecue sauce. Nat had been right and she loved making a mess and eating at the same time.

It was my turn to handle her and I carefully brought Crystal into the bathroom to wash her up, then I stripped her off and gave her a bath. I asked her if she had fun and that set her off again. That was my plan, because it distracted her and let me bathe her properly without her fussing or spending time just playing in the water. I dried her off and just for the heck of it, used Cleaning Hands to make sure she was completely clean.

Crystal giggled as the tingly feeling covered her and I dressed her in her pyjamas. We went out to the living room and I gathered up the tuxedo clothing. Susan had her dress and was showing it off to Nat, who looked impressed. I pretended to hang the suit up and stored it instead, then I went to Nat.

I'm taking a quick nap. I said and tapped my necklace.

Nat nodded as she understood that she would have to put the necklace on me when she was going to bed.

I went to the couch and laid down on the far side and took out a different pendant to put on the coffee table. Crystal, you can be as loud as you want as you play, even though I'm going to sleep. It's not going to bother me at all, okay?

Kay. Crystal said and didn't look at me.

I stored the real necklace and was immediately unconscious. I didn't see or hear anything for however long it went on, then I felt the necklace take effect as it was put on me and I woke up.

Time for bed. Nat whispered and pointed.

I looked down and saw a half asleep Crystal had tucked herself in front of me on the couch and she was drooling a little bit on my t-shirt.

You wore her out? I asked in a whisper.

When she saw you sound asleep, I think she finally admitted to herself that she should sleep, too.

She didn't play at all, did she? I asked and Nat shook her head. With her help, we transferred Crystal to her room and I put Teddy beside her. I tucked her in, kissed her cheek, and left the room. See you in a bit. I whispered to Nat to make her smile, because she wasn't going to be seeing me at all, and I went out to the living room to wait for her to fall asleep.

Susan was there and she was smelling the huge bouquet of roses. I can't believe you did all of this.

I can't believe we had sex on our first date and I didn't even have to buy you dinner. I responded.

Susan laughed softly and turned to give me a hug. I hope you can still respect me in the morning.

Why do I have to make you wait that long to find out if I do? I asked, teasingly.

Hey, you better respect me! Susan said with a scowl and poked my chest, then she laughed again.

Of course I do. I said and gave her a serious face so she would know I wasn't joking and I held her close. I just hope you can forgive me for not dating you exclusively.

I can't really tell you who you can and can't see, especially with your... condition. Susan said. As long as you're not going after every woman you see.

I took a deep breath and let it out. Let me tell you who I met while gathering things for our date.

Susan looked a little worried, so I gave her a kiss.

No, not like that. I said and told her about the gorgeous woman at the flower shop, what she wore, her pleasant laugh, and that she didn't set me off at all. Even her flirting had bounced right off of me and Susan looked genuinely surprised.

Damon, you... how... I thought...

Maybe it is mentally triggered in some respects. I said, repeating what her mother had said the day before. She looked like she was into me and I didn't react at all, probably because I was so focused on getting back to you.

Susan's surprise changed to pleased. So, I'm like your own personal therapy stress reliever.

I chuckled. I wonder how many clients your mom would have if making frantic and passionate love to her daughter was one of the perks of therapy?

Susan laughed and gave me a kiss. Just one. She said and her face went serious. Just you.

Are you sure? I asked, understanding what she was saying. You know I can't commit more than...

Just. You. Susan whispered. I don't need anyone else.

I closed my eyes and let that thought fill my head. I felt her lips on mine and I kissed her back for several minutes. Saying thank you seems like it's not enough. I whispered and opened my eyes. Thanks for putting up with me and my problems... and for great sex. That's a huge help, too.

You better thank me for sex. I'm fantastic at it. Susan said and smiled wickedly. You know I am.

I nodded. How did the furniture ordering go?

Nat bought a bunch of stuff and she threw in the Murphy bed and a few little things in for us. Susan said. It'll be delivered next week.

Great. I said and waved at the couch. Your bed awaits.

Susan smiled as she stepped away and took my hand. Are you joining me? I think you might need a bit more therapy.

Is tempting me a part of that? I asked and she led me over to the couch.

I certainly hope so. I'm fantastic at that, too. Susan said and whipped off her tank top, popped her bra, and showed me that her rockets had already launched. Now start sucking.

Yes, ma'am. I said and did so.

We laid down on the couch and played around with each other and had fun for about half an hour. Susan rested against the back of the couch and I was cuddled up to her back.

I have to ask how I did on the dating challenge. I whispered into her ear and kissed her earlobe.

You blew all of the other competitors out of the running. Susan whispered back. I've never had a date like it before and I doubt anyone could top it. Ever.

I'm glad you liked it. I whispered and kissed her cheek, then waited for her to fall asleep. It took a while. I eased up off of the couch and took out a blanket to cover her, then I went to Nat's bedroom. She was sound asleep as well and I got to work. By the morning, I had given her another week's worth of memories and I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Susan got up and came over to me. Why do you keep going to Nat's room at night?

I'm surprised it took you this long to figure out that's where I was going. I said and turned to face her.

I woke up once when you passed by. Susan said and gave me a serious look. You're not having sex therapy with her too, are you?

I had to clamp my mouth shut to muffle my laugh. N-no, I... she was kidnapped with me this time.

Susan's mouth dropped open in shock and she stared at me.

She can't remember anything that happened for those six months, so every night I try to keep giving her memories back to her.

Susan didn't react to my words and just stood there, stunned.

I can only do it at night, so I've been trying to stay up to help her as much as possible. I said. That's why I go completely lights out when I finally decide to sleep.

Good morning. Nat said, her eyes a little damp. I only want coffee today. You know why.

I nodded and handed her a cup I had already made for her.

Thanks, Damon. Nat said and sat down with a sigh and took another sip.

I'm sorry. I said to her.

Me, too. Nat said and wiped at her eyes. Dammit, this sucks.

I know. I said and leaned down to give her a hug. It'll be over soon and we'll be past the bad parts.

Nat took a breath and let out a sigh. Okay. I'm okay.

You're more than okay. You're Nat Nat, the amazing art teacher. I said and she had to smile, despite feeling bad about getting the memories of another skirmish where the children were killed at the end. I think it's a cereal for breakfast day.

Susan finally shook off her shock at what I had told her and she grabbed a box of healthy cereal and a bowl. I took out the milk and put it on the table, then I went to get Crystal. I was back in the kitchen a few minutes later after letting her use the bathroom and gave her a bowl of fruity puffs to eat. The sugar rush woke her up and soon I was dropping her off at the school.

Have a great day, sweetie. I said as I knelt to hug her. Crystal kissed my cheek and several giggles were heard nearby. I turned to look and her friends were there staring at us.

Bye! Crystal exclaimed and walked off with them.

I dropped off the tuxedo rental and went back home. Susan said she had errands to run and I offered to drive her. She said that Kathy was coming to pick her up and left after giving me a thorough kissing. Nat went down to her studio and I laid down and took off my pendant. I needed to catch up on my sleep, that I was falling behind in again, and Nat promised to come and get me when it was time to get Crystal.

Nat put the pendant on me and I left to pick Crystal up, hung out with her for the afternoon, made supper for everyone, then spent time with Susan, Nat, and Crystal.

That was how the days started to pass by. They repeated with some variations, since no two days could ever have the same events happen exactly the same. My late night visit with Stacy on Wednesday was met without fanfare or incident. That wasn't a surprise, considering she didn't really want anything to do with me after she came to her senses. The same two women FBI agents were there to 'monitor' us, which Stacy tried to prevent. She wasn't successful and she also didn't enjoy it as much because of that.

Me? I liked it a lot, probably because I had been trained that it was okay to have someone watch, even if they weren't going to participate. The funny thing was, one of them handed me her business card after I got dressed, then told me to contact her if I had any questions and whispered that she would like a turn.

Stacy on the other hand, reluctantly accepted that she might need another visit at some time in the future. I promised that I would attend to her if it was necessary and the other woman winked at me, which meant that she would probably be there to help, which I was actually fine with. I didn't have anything personally against her.

The rest of the week passed by before I knew it and on Saturday morning, I flew to Washington D.C. to meet with Derek and signed more papers and contracts for purchases, which included a grocery store and access to bulk food purchases. That I was in desperate need of, because I had nothing left in my inventory even close to proper food stocks. Considering the last time I was taken, I would have almost no warning and needed to properly prepare.

I confirmed more employees for the corporation as well, even though Derek knew more about their necessity than I did, and the corporation was slowly filling out and growing at an exponential rate with each asset that was acquired. Stephanie and Bethany had acclimated to their jobs like ducks to water and they also really enjoyed getting to spend the whole weekend with me at what had become my regular hotel.

They were quite enthusiastic in thanking me for the jobs and for trusting them with so much responsibility. Of course, it was a fantasy come true to have two women that were more than happy to share me and share each other as well. It was particularly enjoyable when they would go down on each other and I would enter one of them at the same time.

It was reminiscent of when Selene the wolf woman would lick herself and I'd have sex with her at the same time. It got me off fairly quickly and both Stephanie and Bethany enjoyed it as well, especially when they would switch positions and let the other feel it, too. Needless to say, I slept well both nights.

All in all, it was a great weekend.
