Controlled Foster Family
Chapter 4
I woke early and hurried to Mary’s room, she was just getting out of bed as I slipped in the door.
“Chad, what are you...” she gasped as she pulled the blanket up over her in surprise.
“Gangster Rap” I said and her head dropped in response.
“Mary, I want you answer truthfully to my questions do you understand?” I asked and she nodded her head in ascent.
I double checked that the hallway was empty, then sat down on the end of the bed. “How do you feel about what happened between you, me and Rebecca?”
She shrugged down into her shoulders and screwed up her face “I feel ashamed.” She replied in a quiet voice.
“Why, what makes you feel ashamed.” I continued.
She paused, then in a choking sob said “I liked it. I liked being in a threesome with you and Rebecca.”
“Why does that make you feel ashamed?” I asked.
“Because it is wrong, it is a sin. Love should be between a man and a woman, alone and sacred. It should not be shared or turned into a spectacle.” She said in a firm voice.
I was surprised, no objections to the fact that her adopted sister was involved, just that someone else was. “What did you like about it that made you feel ashamed?”
“I liked how sexy it made me feel, how desirable and wanton. I shared my body with two people who both wanted me and it felt so liberating.” She said in a rush, almost as if she hadn’t said it then she never would be able to. “It also felt so good to do something that Father would be so angry about, it felt good to be the bad girl.”
“Mary, being with several different people is not a sin. King David had at least seven different wives and Abraham had two. There is no sin about having multiple partners, is there?” I said, reaching out to take her hand.
She squeezed my hand in response “No, but it is sinful and dirty to do such a thing.”
“It is a sin to commit adultery, but none of you were married were you.” I said calmly and she shook her head in response.
“The bible says that if a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. But you didn’t, you are not a man and it doesn’t say anything about women lying together, does it?” I asked. She furrowed her brow, but shook her head again.
I continued “The bible also talks about how to properly discipline slaves, how to stone people to death, how to beat your children, even how to cut your hair. Are all of those passages to be taken literally today?” She shook her head again.
“Mary, you are a good woman, a beautiful woman who deserves to be happy. Is it right for men dead over two thousand years to determine how you should live your life? You can follow God’s teachings without having to be miserable at the same time.” I said as I squeezed her hand. She smiled and nodded again, sniffing as tears leaked out from under her closed eyes.
“Mary, when you wake up you will think that God came to you in a dream and told you this. You will understand that your actions were not sinful, but done with love in your heart and to help Chad. You will also believe that Rebecca was just jealous of what you had already done with him, and forgive her for her threat. Do you understand?” I asked, and she nodded, squeezing my hand again.
“The next time you see Chad or Rebecca, you will think back to how good you felt up there in the loft. You will not be angry or scared, but curious about what else you have missed out on and eager to explore more about this new part of your life.” I reached up to caress her cheek and she pressed her face against my hand, kissing my palm with a sigh.
I stood and moved to the door, checking to make sure the hall was still deserted. I looked back to where Mary sat on the bed, a smile of relief and contentment on her face. Hell, maybe I was doing God’s work here, how could something that made someone so happy be a sin. “Gangster Rap” I said as I slipped out the door.
At breakfast, Sarah was practically dancing around the kitchen, humming to herself as she dished up blueberry pancakes and bacon.
“Wow mom, you are in a good mood today. Did you sleep well?” Mary asked.
Sarah turned quickly back to the stove but I saw the blush rising on her face. She slept well, but that wasn’t why she was in such a good mood. “Yes dear, and your father will be home tomorrow so I guess that must be why I am in such a good mood.” She replied. I saw her hand slide down her apron as if to wipe some flour off, but her fingers strayed a bit closer to her crotch than necessary. Jacob was in for a treat when he got back.
“Well, I had better get that fence mended before then.” I said as I stood up and pushed my plate back. Rebecca quickly reached over and grabbed it before Mary could.
“Let me get that for you Chad.” She said with a smile and I nodded in appreciation. Both of them were dressed for work, but they still managed to look sexy. Rebecca had her long dark hair up in a high ponytail, and was wearing a blue work shirt tied up under her tits with some cut off jean shorts. Mary had done her hair up in a pair of braids that ended in pigtails and was wearing a old white t-shirt that was tucked in tight to her shorts. She gave me a shy smile as I stood back from the table and looked away quickly as I nodded in return.
A couple of hours later, I heard footsteps approaching from behind me. I was working on the fence along the back of the property in the small woodlot there. It was shady and cool with a soft breeze rustling the leaves and I had been in no hurry to finish. I turned to see Rebecca and Mary making their way down the path. I set down my pliers and leaned back against the fence to watch them approach.
“Chad, can we talk about yesterday.” Mary said hesitantly, glancing at Rebecca for reassurance.
“Sure, I wanted to talk about it anyway. What is on your minds?” I replied, glancing from one girl to the other. I was wondering how my discussion with her this morning had played out.
Mary fidgeted nervously with her fingers, then Rebecca piped up to break the awkward silence. “I wanted to apologize, for what I said. It wasn’t right of me to threaten to tell Jacob about you two.”
“Well, thanks.” I replied. “I can’t say that I minded the outcome though. Is that what you want to talk about Mary?”
She nodded, biting her lip then looked from Rebecca to me and blurted “I’m sorry that I just took off after we were done. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do, or feel and got scared.”
I nodded “I understand. I was afraid that what had happened had really upset you but didn’t know how to talk to you about it.”
“Mary and I have talked and we are good, I just wanted to make sure that you were alright too.” Rebecca said, and Mary nodded.
I walked toward them and gathered both of them in my arms. They sighed and melted against me as I pulled them in. “You girls aren’t my sisters, and I am glad for that. But you are the best friends I have had and I am so glad that we have this time together.”
I leaned down to kiss Mary, then Rebecca. Both of them kissed me back eagerly and I felt their nails dig into my skin as they clenched their hands in arousal. I went back and forth, kissing them with more and more passion as I held them trapped against my chest. They moaned as their tongues darted into my mouth and gave soft whimpers of disappointment when I finally let them go and stepped back.
“Jacob will be back tomorrow, but we still have tonight. Are you interested in an encore?” I asked, and both of then nodded eagerly.
“Why don’t you come visit me after Sarah has gone to bed. No one will hear us in my room and we can see where things go from there.” I continued and they nodded again, giggling like schoolgirls over their crush.
“We have to get back, we promised Mom we would help her in the garden.” Mary said reluctantly, then reached out to take Rebecca’s hand.
“See you tonight.” Rebecca said with a sultry glance as they turned and headed back down the path. I watched their firm asses sway as they walked into the woods and began to fantasize about what would happen in a few hours.
I sat on the bed in my room, ears listening to the sounds of the house as I tried to pick up any sign that Mary and Rebecca were on their way. I knew it was still on, they had been flirting outrageously through dinner. Rubbing their feet along my leg under the table, leaning over to reach for things and giving me a look down their tops, everything. Sarah didn’t notice, she was lost in her own thoughts about Jacob’s return. Finally, I heard the sound of the stairs creaking. My room was in the basement and that was fine with me. With Sarah’s room up on the second floor she wouldn’t hear anything so there was no chance of being disturbed. There was a firm knock on my door and I adjusted my semi hard cock in my pyjama pants as I got up to open it.
I stood back to see Mary and Rebecca standing in the hall wearing their long flannel house coats despite the warm summer night. “Gangster Rap” I said, and their heads dropped to their chests.
“While you are in this room with me, you will tell the truth about what you are feeling and what you want me to do to you. You will have no inhibitions or moral constraints, you will be utterly helpless before your most wild passions and desires, do you understand?” They nodded in reply.
“Death Metal” I said and stepped back to waive them into the room. They snapped out of the trance and eagerly moved through the door so I could close it behind us. The room was lit by the soft light of the bedside table lamp and I heard the rustle of the housecoats dropping to the floor. I turned and took a deep, appreciative breath as I saw the two of them standing there wearing what had been in those black and pink bags they brought home.
Mary was wearing a white lace bra with little pink flowers running along the seams and up the straps, with matching high cut lace panties that looked like the ended in a thong. A pair of white lace top stockings sheathed her long legs and she was wearing white high heels just like Sarah had on last night. She had a small headband with pink and yellow butterflies pushing her hair up away from her face so it fell in long waves down her shoulders, she was the picture of innocent seduction.
Rebecca on the other hand was a sultry goddess of desire. A black half-cup push up bra with red trim made her firm B cup tits look almost as large as Mary’s more voluptuous C cups. A black half corset pulled her waist in giving her usually lithe body an hourglass look down to her matching black and red panties. Black fishnet stockings and shiny black heels made her muscular legs look even longer and I couldn’t wait to get between them. She had slicked her hair back into a tight bun and done her makeup in a smoky eye, merlot red lipstick vamp look.
“Wow, you look incredible.” I said running an appreciative eye over the girls.
“Thanks.” Mary replied shyly. She clasped her hands behind her back, looked down with a small smile and gently twisted back and forth like a bashful schoolgirl. It would be considered completely over the top, if it wasn’t also totally genuine.
Rebecca on the other hand shifted her weight to one leg and put her hand on her thrust out hip while tracing the seam of her bra with her red painted fingernails. “You had better like them, they cost you a fortune.” She said as she gave me a cocky smile.
“Worth every penny.” I replied as I walked toward them with my arms outstretched. They leaned in to me as I kissed first Mary, then Rebecca. I closed my eyes as they kissed and licked at my ears and neck, pushing their bodies against me. Rebecca stood on her toes and pulled my face down to hers, kissing me hungrily as she pushed her tongue into my mouth. I felt Mary start to lick her way down my chest, taking my nipple in her mouth and sucking on it like a hungry calf. Her fingernails dug into my chest as her tongue flicked over the sensitive nub of flesh. I reached down with my right hand and grabbed Rebecca’s ass, squeezing the firm smooth cheek as she moaned into my mouth. My left hand came up to fondle Mary’s tit through the sheer material of her bra and I felt her shudder as I groped the soft yielding flesh.
Mary continued her trip down my body, kissing and licking across my stomach and down to the waistband of my pyjama pants. She traced the line of the material with her tongue as her fingers felt for my now hard cock through the fabric. Rebecca slid her hand down my chest to join Mary in squeezing my crotch. She broke our kiss and flowed to her knees beside Mary who was starting to slide my pants down. I looked down as the two girls kissed their way up and down the shaft of my cock. Unlike last time, they did not fight for position but instead co-operated to give me the best blowjob of my life.
Back and forth they slid, up and down my prick. Rebecca’s dark red lips briefly touched Mary’s light pink ones as they slid off the tip and while I saw Mary twitch, she didn’t pull away. Instead, she pushed forward and took the head of my cock in her mouth, moaning as she slowly slid her lips down it. Her tongue played up and down the bottom of the shaft as she took it as far into her mouth as she could.
Rebecca leaned back and looked up at me as she fondled my balls with her hand. Her eyes had an impish look in them and she reached up with her other hand to push Mary’s head further down my shaft. Mary’s eyes flew open in surprise, but she didn’t fight against the pressure. She held me in her mouth as long as she could but when I felt her start to gag I pulled back and Rebecca released her head, letting her fingers slide down Mary’s back causing her to shudder. Mary continued to kiss and suck on my cock, looking up at me with her wide blue eyes and moaning in pleasure as I nodded my approval.
“My turn.” Rebecca said as she pushed Mary back and pulled my cock out of her mouth. Unlike Mary’s gentle attentions, Rebecca attacked my prick with gusto. She sucked hard and fast, bobbing her head up and down as her fingers dug into my ass to push me deep into her mouth. She growled like a hungry panther as she hoovered my cock like a porn star. Meanwhile, Mary leaned in and kissed at my balls, her tongue tracing lines of pleasure across them as she pulled them gently to her soft lips.
“Get up on the bed you two.” I said as I pulled Rebecca off my cock. She gave it a final flick of her tongue as I helped her to her feet. I guided them to the bed and lay them down beside each other with their asses on the edge. I knelt down between Mary’s legs and kissed the inside of her thighs, tracing the top of her stocking with my tongue. I reached over to Rebecca and slowly worked my fingers under her panties, sliding them up and down between her damp pussy lips. I felt both girls squirm as a result of my attentions.
I licked and nibbled at Mary’s pussy through the thin silken material of her panties, gently biting at the nub of her clit as I felt the cloth dampen with her arousal. At the same time I slid the tip of two of my fingers into Rebecca, gently pumping them in and out to the first knuckle. I heard them moan together in stereo as the got more and more worked up. I backed out and slid Mary’s panties down, then moved over to pull down Rebecca’s. I then repeated the procedure, switching my mouth to Rebecca’s smooth shaved pussy while I slid my fingers inside Mary. Unlike last time, I took longer with each girl, getting them more and more aroused before I backed off only to bring them back up with my hand our mouth. Their moans and whimpers of pleasure filled the room as well as the scent of their musk. I looked up to see them digging the fingers of their outside hands into the covers. Interestingly, their inside hands were clasped together, fingers entwined and knuckles white as they squeezed.
I was on my third time licking at Mary when I felt her start to orgasm. She began to buck her hips up and down on the bed, her breath coming in short sharp gasps.
“Ah, ah, ah,” she squealed in time with my tongue on her pussy. I took her clit into my mouth and sucked while I flicked my tongue over the sensitive flesh.
“Aaaaaahhhhh, Oh my God, Oh my God!” She yelped as her legs squeezed shut on my head. I felt her tremble as she arched pushing her crotch into my face.
“Oh yes, oh god yes, oh fuck just like that, just like thaaaaaaaattttttt!” she wailed as she came on my face. Her hips bouncing up and down as her body exploded with pleasure. Finally, she collapsed and released the death grip that her thighs had trapped my head in.
I rolled a condom down on my still hard prick and backed out from between Mary’s still shaking legs. Now I moved between Rebecca’s legs, pulling the silken material aside and sliding my cock up and down between her wet pussy lips. She looked up at me and smiled her sultry smile as she squirmed her hips against me trying to push herself down on my prick. I was going to tease her for a bit, but changed my mind and obliged her by thrusting deep inside her cunt. She gasped in surprise as my shaft penetrated her over and over as I fucked her hard and fast.
“This is what you wanted, isn’t it?” I grunted as I pounded into her.
“Oh god yes. Oh fuck me, fuck me hard.” She replied breathlessly.
I reached up to grab her tits, mauling them as I used them to pull her down to me as I drove my cock hard into her body. She grabbed my wrists and pushed my hands down onto her as I felt her thrusting her pelvis up in time with my thrusts.
“Fuck yea, grope my tits, squeeze them.” She moaned as my fingers dug into the firm mounds. She pulled one of my hands up to her throat “Choke me, please choke me.” She moaned.
“I’ll choke you alright, with her cunt. Mary, straddle this bitches face.” I blurted out as I squeezed Rebecca’s throat tightly.
Mary looked at me in shock, I don’t think she believed what she had heard. I leaned over and gave her a sharp slap across her breast. “I said get your pussy on her face, now!”
She yelped in surprise, then moved to comply with my order. I saw her hesitantly kneel on the bed and move to straddle Rebecca, her eyes watching me nervously. Rebecca decided the issue by reaching up with both hands and grabbing Mary by her thighs, pulling her down on her. Mary squealed, then went rigid as she felt Rebecca’s tongue penetrate her pussy. I saw her eyes go wide, then slowly close as Rebecca licked away at her cunt. Her hips settled onto her adoptive sister’s face and I saw her start to grind them in slow circles as she moaned.
I pulled back until the tip of my cock was barely touching Rebecca’s smoothly shaved pussy, then shoved it back in deep. I saw her fingers dig into Mary’s stocking clad thighs as I drove myself hard against her, shoving her down into the bed. I continued with this rhythm of a slow withdrawal then a sudden hard thrust and I heard her grunt into Mary’s pussy each time. I leaned forward and buried my face between Mary’s lace clad tits and she clasped my head tight against her.
“Ooooohhhhh, ooooooohhhhh yes, yes, oh fuck yessssss!” She whimpered as Rebecca licked and sucked at her pussy. She lifted my head and kissed me hard, tasting herself on my lips. I put my hands on her hips and used her to pull myself deeper into the helpless woman beneath me. Rebecca responded by wrapping her legs around me, pinning me as I drove further inside her as she licked and sucked at the pussy on her face.
The bed creaked and groaned as the three of us pushed each other closer and closer to orgasm. Mary buried her face in my neck, moaning and gasping in my ear. With each thrust of my cock, Rebecca responded by shoving her tongue up into Mary’s cunt. I reached out and grabbed Mary’s tits, squeezing and groping them through the flimsy material of her bra. Her nipples were hard under my hand as I dug my fingers into the firm but yielding flesh.
“Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!” she gasped into my neck as her fingers dug furrows in my shoulders. I felt her body tense and shake as another orgasm rose through her. I grabbed her by the hair and pulled her head back, arching her neck. “Aaaaaahhhhhh” she wailed as her mouth came free from my shoulder, her eyes closed in erotic bliss. I held her tight, arched like a bow and her hips ground in circles as she came on Rebecca’s face.
I shoved Mary aside and she sprawled awkwardly on the end of the bed. Rebecca gave a gasp as Mary’s pussy lifted from her mouth, and then a strangled grunt as my fingers closed around her throat. Her eyes flew wide as she was again deprived of air and her hands reached up to grab onto my wrist. She didn’t try to pull me away, instead she pushed me harder against her neck as I felt her own orgasm take her. Her pussy twitched and clenched around my cock as but all I heard from her was a strangled gurgling as her mouth gaped open and closed. Her legs released their hold around me and shot out straight as she tensed every muscle, vibrating like a guitar string. Fuck, it felt incredible and I blew my own load, filling up the condom like a water balloon inside her. I held my grip on Rebecca’s throat until I felt her hands loosen on my wrists. Her eyes had glazed and face was beet red before she finally relented and her chest rose and fell as she gasped for air.
A few minutes later and we were laying on the bed together; Rebecca and Mary snuggled up in my arms as we recovered. I looked down at Mary, her bright blue eyes veiled behind her golden hair as she gave me a contented smile. “Well, you are a bad girl now, aren’t you?” I said with a smile of my own as I squeezed her against my chest.
She started, recalling our “discussion” before and the thoughts I had left her with. Then she smiled again “I guess so, that was so hot I can’t believe we just did that.” She said in a pleased voice as her gaze slid over to where Rebecca lay on my other arm. Her hand stopped toying with my chest hair and shyly reached over to touch Rebecca’s fingers.
Rebecca smiled at her, their fingers entwining on my chest. “I am glad” she said with a smile of her own. “I don’t know when I started to think of you like this, but I know that ever since we went to college I have wanted to try it. You have always been my sister, but lately I have seen you as much more.” She leaned across my chest and caressed Mary’s cheek, then gently kissed her. Mary tensed, then relaxed and started kissing her back. Nothing erotic or sexual, just the gentle kiss of two lovers.
We lay there for a few more minutes, basking in the afterglow of our sex and recent discoveries then Rebecca pushed herself up and swung her legs off the bed. “Guess we had better get back to our rooms. Need to wash our faces and get to bed if we want to be able to function at all tomorrow.”
I nodded and got up myself, pulling my pyjama pants on. “I will go check to make sure the coast is clear.” I went upstairs and checked to make sure that Sarah was well asleep. She was in bed with a small smile on her face, possibly reliving the “dream” I had given her last time. I gently closed the door and headed back to my room. When I got there Mary and Rebecca had put their housecoats back on. Their stocking clad feet peeked out from under the hem and they had their shoes in their hands like they were ready for their walk of shame. I reached out and took them both in my arms, kissing Rebecca then Mary. “This was incredible, you are both so perfect. I am so lucky to have met you two.”
Mary smiled up at me “No Chad, we are lucky to have met you. You have changed our lives, I don’t know how but you did it.” She rose up on her toes to give me another kiss, and then moved aside as Rebecca copied her then they both slid out the door into the dark hallway and snuck back to their rooms. I took a deep breath, damn this was working out better than I could have hoped. Pretty soon I probably won’t even need the hypnotic suggestions I thought. Rebecca was already a closet freak and Mary was coming along nicely. I was thinking about what directions I wanted to nudge them in now as I slipped back into bed and quickly fell asleep.
Breakfast the next morning was tense and anxious, Jacob was coming back today and everyone was worried about what would happen. Well, they were worried, I was interested. What would he think of his new family, even if they tried to hide everything the feeling around the house was definitely not what it had been when he left. We spent the day getting all of the chores done and making the farm as ship shape as we could. The first thing Jacob did whenever he got home from a trip was an inspection of his holdings to make sure everything was exactly as he left it. We were just finishing when his truck pulled up to the house.
Sarah stepped out onto the porch and waited to greet him. She had done herself up for her husband, nothing slutty or excessive but I noticed her efforts. She was wearing one of the new dresses she had bought, still conservative but it hugged her body and showed off her tits and ass perfectly. She had on some light makeup but more than she ever wore around the house and her hair was down, flowing over one shoulder like a waterfall of sunlight. “I am glad you are home Jacob, we missed you.” She said with a bright smile on her face as she descended the steps to embrace him.
I saw him stiffen in her arms, this was definitely not how he had left things and he grunted in reply as she stepped back. I saw her smile fade in confusion, this isn’t what her dream had led her to expect. She forced her smile back again and followed along like an eager puppy as Jacob stumped around the farm, grumbling about the state of things and pointing out minor issues like they were epic failures. We nodded and apologized, promising to do better and eventually he went into the house where he shut himself up in his study. I saw Sarah wipe a tear from her cheek, then straighten her shoulders and head into the kitchen to get dinner started.
“What an asshole.” Rebecca muttered as she leaned on the fence looking at the house. “Everything that she does for him and that is the thanks she gets.” She had a bandanna around her neck to hide the bruises I had given her last night. She kept fidgeting with it, almost as if she wanted to take it off and show everyone just what had happened.
I grunted in agreement, as I secured the latch to the gate. “It will be an interesting dinner tonight I think.” I said as we walked to the house. “I’m glad that we had last night, I doubt we would be in the mood tonight.”
Rebecca reached out and grabbed my ass with a playful squeeze. “I don’t know, I think that I will be pretty frustrated and in need of a distraction by the time bedtime comes.”
I swatted her hand away. “What did I tell you about uninvited physical touching?” I mockingly growled at her as she skipped back in fake shock.
“Oh no, I am so sorry sir.” She said in a meek voice, her eyes wide with overacted fear. “Maybe if you disciplined me I would learn my lesson properly.” She giggled then dashed toward the house, her long dark hair flying out behind her.
Not a bad idea I thought, and I had just the place to do it. I had plans for Rebecca, but they definitely involved me being in charge so maybe it was time to push things in that direction. First, I would have see how Jacob took the new and improved Sarah.
Dinner was tense, even more so than normal. Sarah tried her hardest to flirt with Jacob, stroking his shoulder as she walked past his chair, leaning over to pass him the potatoes and give him a glimpse down her dress, everything. He just grunted and averted his eyes, the post-hypnotic suggestion I had given him about sexual abstinence still in effect. I expected that Sarah would be good and frustrated soon, desperate for another dream. After dinner Jacob adjourned to his study, locking the door behind him. The girls and I cleaned up, Sarah was to upset and Mary told her to go and take a bath to relax.
Later that night, I was lying on my bed flicking through my phone when Jacob walked into my room. He didn’t bother knocking on doors in his house. I looked up at him and he glowered down at me. “Come with me boy.” He ordered, and turned and left before I even had a chance to acknowledge him. Usually, this kind of summons would lead to him taking me to point out what I had screwed up, and then another lecture on responsibility. I was surprised when he led me to the barn, and more surprised when I saw the hatch to the dungeon open with light streaming out of it.
“I have questions that need to be answered, and answered truthfully boy.” He said gruffly as he took my arm. “I need your word, your oath to our lord, that you will speak to no one about what you will see here.”
I nodded. “Yes Jacob, I swear to keep whatever you are going to show me a secret on peril of my soul.” Since I didn’t believe I had a soul, I wasn’t too worried.
He stared at me for a second, then grunted and nodded his head. “You have made great progress boy, I am impressed by how well you managed the farm while I was gone. Unfortunately, you did not manage the family as well, but that is my fault. A fault I intend to remedy now.”
Jacob moved to the ladder and descended into the hole, waving me to follow him. When I stepped off the ladder, I pretended to be shocked by what I saw. I only had to pretend for a second, and then the surprise was real. Sarah was there, bound to the X frame in the corner and wearing the white lingerie that she had bought for him.
She had her back to us, her head hanging down as she sobbed softly. Her back was striped with welts and marks from something, probably the strap that lay on the floor behind her. Her white corset was ripped open and lay on the ground so she was naked except for her stockings and heels. Her smooth ass cheeks and thighs were red and bruised and I shuddered at the thought of what she must be feeling right now.
“The truth harlot, where did you get these whores garments.” Jacob barked and Sarah flinched at the sound of his voice.
“I am sorry Jacob, I am sorry. I got them for you, I wanted to look good for you.” She sobbed.
Jacob grabbed a riding crop from the table and swung it hard, striking Sarah on her ass with a meaty thwack. She screamed, then bit her lip to silence herself. Her whimpers filled the room with a pitiful sound. Jacob pulled on a cord and the trapdoor closed above us. I noticed that the ceiling was filled with foam to muffle the sound, no one outside of the barn would have any idea what was going on here.
“I did not ask why you did it, where did you get the money?” He demanded as he lashed out with the crop again.
Sarah yelped again “Chad gave it to us, he gave us a credit card and told us..Aaahhhhh” she howled as Jacob lashed at her again.
“No lies woman, no more lies or I will beat you bloody for your sins.”
“No Jacob.” I said. “She is telling the truth, I did give her my credit card.”
Sarah’s head snapped up and she tried to look around. “Chad? Oh god, Jacob is Chad here?” She gasped.
“Eyes front woman, regard the sign and its message.” Jacob snapped as he whipped the crop across Sarah’s raw back again. “Yes the boy is here, I wanted to show him your lies and falsehoods.” He turned to me, his eyes wild with rage and lust. I could see his hard cock straining against his overalls and his knuckles were white as they grasped the crop.
“Fuck” I thought, I guess I didn’t think this through. I had hoped that by making Jacob deny Sarah it would make her horny and easier to manipulate. Frustrating Jacob with celibacy was an added bonus, but now I saw that the frustration needed an outlet. If he couldn’t get it through sex, then he would get it through violence.
“Boy, is this true? Did you give them money and permission to use it?” He snapped as he stepped toward me. I readied myself, no way was I going to let him beat me.
I stood my ground, but looked ashamed. “Yes Jacob, it is true. A couple of days after you left I told Sarah that she and the girls deserved a day to themselves. I did the chores while they went into town to spend some time together. I had been given a credit card by one of the social services agencies, but since I was staying here I didn’t need it. I told them to use it to enjoy themselves as a thank you for all they had given me.”
Jacob took a deep breath. “You gave this woman a gift, a donation of your own wealth and look how she has wasted it.” He turned and pointed at Sarah with the crop.
“Look at the whore vestments that she adorns herself with, the slattern clothing she was wearing at my supper table. This Jezebel must be taught not to waste money that could be used to do the lords work.” He growled as he wound up for another strike. I saw Sarah flinch at the anticipated blow.
“No Jacob, no.” I shouted as I jumped between him and Sarah. “Didn’t Jesus allow a woman to wash him with perfume and oil? The disciples were angry that the stuff was not sold for the poor, but Jesus himself appreciated what the woman did for him.” I stepped back, and motioned to where Sarah stood, trembling in her bonds.
“Sarah just wanted to make you happy, she wanted to do for you what that woman did for Jesus. Isn’t that true Sarah?”
“Yes, yes” she sobbed. “I am sorry, I just wanted to make you happy, to make you love me.”
Jacob trembled with frustration and rage. “You whore! You try to tempt me into a sin of the flesh! You try to make me break my vow to God, for you?” He raised the crop again and stepped forward. “I will teach you the price of your desires Salome!”
“Gangster Rap!” I blurted.
Jacob froze in place, but he trembled and his eyes were wild. He was so worked up that he was fighting the suggestion.
“God bless you Jacob, Gangster Rap” I said in a strong voice, and braced myself in case it didn’t work.
Jacob’s eyes closed and his head fell to his chest but he kept his death grip on the crop. I looked back, saw that Sarah was also in the trance, and then took a deep breath. That was too close, I was pretty sure that Jacob could have really hurt her or worse.
I leaned against the wall, collecting my thoughts. What was I going to do about this? Everything was great when Jacob was gone but I couldn’t keep him away forever. He had plans of his own and this farm was the center of them, he wasn’t going to just leave no matter how I couched the suggestion.
“Jacob, do you hear me?” I asked in a soft voice.
“Yes Lord, I hear you.” He replied. Good, he still thought that my words were coming from God. It figures that he would believe that God would speak directly to him.
“Jacob, your ward has made a great sacrifice. He has given of himself so that others may be happy, you have done well with him.” I said and Jacob nodded.
“Yes Lord, he has grown as a man, but my weak and vicious wife has taken advantage of that goodness. She used his gift for her own needs and must be punished for this.” He growled, and I saw the crop twitch in his hand.
“Yes Jacob, sinners must be punished. But, as Sarah did not sin against you, but against Chad, then the punishment must come not from you, but from Chad. Is this not true?” I continued.
Jacob hesitated, “The boy is not ready. He does not understand how to discipline a woman properly. He is too enamored of the flesh to resist their pleas for mercy.”
“You may be surprised Jacob. Chad has had a life of sin and punishment himself. His life has prepared him for you, and you have tempered his steel into a fine weapon against the evils of this world. Now it is time to use that weapon so that it does not rust.” I said, and after a second Jacob nodded again.
“Yes Lord, your will is true.” Jacob said with a sigh. “I was reluctant to hand over the duties of my station as a husband to this boy but if I do not, I fear that I may fail in my vow to you. I was tempted very strongly today, and almost failed you. I see now that this is another test that you put before me Lord.”
“Not a test my son, but an easing of your burden.” I continued. “I am proud of you Jacob, you have proven a master of your body, and now have proven that you can pass on your knowledge to your first disciple.”
Jacob smiled “My first disciple?”
“Yes Jacob, but like Jesus you will require more if you are to spread my teachings. You must seek them out for you shall not find them here. Chad came to you, but you must now go to find the others.” That’s it I thought, this is how to get Jacob out of here.
“How many others Lord, and where will I find them?” He asked with a hopeful voice.
“Where Jesus had 12, you will have 6. You will find them in your work, as you travel over the land they will come to you but you will have to test them to be sure of their faith. Do not accept too quickly, for there are many who would deceive you.” That should keep him busy I thought. I don’t know where he would find 5 other people who could put up with him long enough to meet his standards.
“Yes Lord, I will seek them out. Thank you Lord.” He said and I swear that there were tears in his eyes.
“Chad shall remain here, to tend to your family and your farm. You will not fear for them as you seek out the others. You will command your family to obey him as if he were you and turn over all responsibility so that you may focus on your mission. Do you understand?” I asked, hoping against all hope that he was in the right mind to accept the suggestion.
“Yes Lord, I understand and accept your wisdom. Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Jacob said in a strong voice as he squared his shoulders and stuck out his chest.
I let out a gasp of relief and walked over to where Sarah hung so I could whisper in her ear.
“When you wake up, you will remember nothing that has happened since you heard the words Gangster Rap. All that you will know is that you were terrified of Jacob tonight, and that Chad saved you. Do you understand?” Sarah nodded in response.
I moved back to where I had stood between them, “Death Metal” I said and Jacob’s head snapped up and his eyes bored into me.
“Chad, I have a mission for you.”
We sat at the table, Mary and Rebecca were still groggy with sleep at the late summons. Sarah sat stiffly, holding her housecoat tightly around her but making sure that her back didn’t touch the chair. Jacob stood behind his seat, holding it with one hand while he rapped on the table with his knuckles.
“Attention, I will have you attention.” He barked as we watched him. “I have an announcement to make and I want you all to hear it.”
He gestured to me and I rose to stand beside him. He put his hand on my shoulder as he glared at Sarah and the girls.
“I will be leaving, and I do not know when I will be back.” He said, and I saw the looks of pleased surprise flit across everyone’s faces before they composed themselves.
“I have been given a mission from God and I shall not rest until I achieve it. While I am gone, Chad will serve in my place in all things.” He squeezed my shoulder and I looked at him in mock surprise.
“Jacob, no. I am not ready, I cannot...” I gasped.
“You are ready, the Lord has told me so and I do not doubt his word nor should you.” Jacob said solemnly and I bowed my head in submission.
“I am sorry for doubting you. I will try my best to fill your place in this household.” I said and I heard a startled gasp from Sarah as she considered the implications.
“I expect all of you to obey Chad as you would obey me. He is the head of this household now until I return, do you understand.” Jacob said in a no-nonsense voice as he stared around the room.
Mary and Rebecca nodded, Sarah hesitated then nodded as well.
“Say it.” He barked. “I want to hear it from your own mouths that you will obey Chad as you would me.”
They all said it, Mary and Rebecca a bit more eagerly than was proper. Sarah began to question what Jacob meant by my filling his place but he shut her down. “You will obey him as you would obey me, how is that so hard woman. Now say it!”
“I will obey Chad as I would obey you, my husband.” She said as she stared at the table, her hands clasped as if in prayer.
“Good, now to bed with everyone. We will attend church tomorrow and then I will be off.” Jacob pronounced and turned to head down the hall, everything arranged as far as he was concerned.
Mary and Rebecca looked at me, then at Sarah. “What just happened?” Rebecca asked.
I looked at Sarah, who was still looking at the table. I reached out and took her hand, she stiffened then relaxed as I cupped it gently.
“Things will be better, I promise. And I promise he will never hurt you like that again.”
Church the next morning was as tense as I had ever seen it. Sarah and the girls were dressed in their most conservative dresses and hardly said a word other than Amen the entire morning. Jacob sat stiffly in the pew as the minister gave his sermon on how God had a plan for each of us. At the end as we were leaving, Jacob stiffly shook his hand. “Good sermon, it’s about time.” He muttered, which is probably the nicest thing he had ever said to the man.
When we got home he went right into the bedroom and packed his suitcase, then gathered up all of his tools and anything else he would normally take for an out of town job. I quietly helped him as he stowed everything in the back of the truck, then tossed in a sleeping pad and bag. I think that the ladies finally realized that this was for real as he closed the cap hatch and turned back to us.
“I don’t know when I will be back.” He said. “I will be going from job to job, and following the Lord’s guidance to wherever he takes me.”
I nodded, then said “Don’t worry Jacob, your home will be here for you when you return.”
He nodded in reply. “I know it will, God has told me that you are ready to take my place and I put my faith in him.” He paused, then put his hand on my shoulder. “I will be keeping most of the money I make on these jobs. I will need it to fund my search for my other followers you understand?”
“Don’t worry Jacob, we will be alright. You just keep looking for whatever God has sent you to find.” I said solemnly. Jacob had already showed me his files and made me a joint holder on the household account. He had no idea that I had hacked his other accounts already.
“Then farewell. Like Moses, God has sent me on a journey without a destination and I will not return until I have fulfilled my promise to him.” He said, then got in the truck and drove away. We watched as the dust cloud disappeared behind the trees and the sound faded away.
“Um, what now?” Rebecca asked, looking at Sarah then at me.
“Now, lunch. Then chores and supper, just like last week.” I said as I went into the house to change into my work clothes.
I was in my bedroom when I heard a knock at my door. I opened it to see Sarah standing there, she was still in her church clothes but held a plate with a sandwich and a glass of lemonade.
“Chad, can we talk privately for a minute?” she asked nervously, glancing over her shoulder at the stairs.
“Sure, come in.” I said as I took the plate and glass from her and backed into the bedroom.
She followed me in and closed the door behind her. I put the food on my dresser then leaned up against it, crossing my arms. She looked around, trying to avoid my gaze. I let the silence grow until she spoke up.
“Um, when Jacob said that you were the head of the house and that I was to obey you as I did him, I don’t think that he meant it the way it sounded.” She said, but she didn’t sound like she meant it. Instead, she sounded like she was making an argument that she felt she had to make.
“What do you mean?” I asked. “It seemed pretty clear that Jacob wanted me to act as the head of the household and keep things running around here. In fact, I don’t see how this is any different than last week, do you?” I said as I took a bite out of the sandwich she had brought me. No symbolism here.
“Yes, certainly. I agree that you should handle the finances and manage the farm. You did a great job last week, nothing was missed and everyone enjoyed themselves.” She said quickly, tapping her fingers against her thigh nervously.
“Then what is the problem, what else did you want to talk about?” I asked, then took a long drink of lemonade.
Sarah fiddled with her hair; the silence became awkward. “I was just worried about what other duties around the home you thought you were responsible for.”
“Gangster Rap” I said and her head dropped to her chest.
“Sarah, what are you trying to say? Tell me the truth.” I asked.
“I am wondering if you are intending to replace Jacob in his duties as my husband. Are we to be together as husband and wife?” She said in a flat tone.
“Would you like that Sarah?” I asked as I moved toward her, stroking her arm. She shuddered in response but did not pull away.
“It is not right, you are not my husband. Adultery is a sin.” She replied quickly, and I couldn’t help but notice she didn’t say no.
I was prepared for this and checked the notepad in my bedside table. “Sarah, the bible says ‘as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.’ Jacob has commanded you to obey me as you would him. If I told you that I was to assume his duties as a husband, you would have to obey that wouldn’t you?”
She hesitated, “But you are not my husband, I cannot be with you even if I wanted to.” I could see her forehead furrow and her eyes screwed shut.
I checked my notes again. “Sarah, the bible says that ‘For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good, and do not fear anything that is frightening.’”
I reached up and cupped her face, “Sarah, you and Jacob are like Sarah and Abraham. He is your lord and as long as you obey him you have nothing to fear. Now when Sarah could not serve as a wife to Abraham, she gave him Hagar, but she was still his wife. Now that Jacob cannot serve as a husband to you, he has given you me, but he is still your husband. Do you understand?”
Sarah nodded. “Yes, I understand. You are not my husband, but my husband as asked you to serve in his stead. It is not adultery for it is his wish that I obey you as I would obey him.” I felt the tension flow out of her as she said this and she smiled in relief at the revelation.
“Sarah, when I say Death Metal you will wake from your trance. You will not remember anything that we said here, but tonight it will come to you as a dream and you will accept it as a vision from God. Do you understand?” She nodded in reply.
“Death Metal” I said and her head came up as she looked at me. I handed her the empty plate and glass back. “Thank you Sarah, you are a good wife to Jacob. He will miss you greatly and I am glad that he trusts me to watch over you.”
She blinked, then nodded. “You are welcome Chad, I am glad that you chose to stay with us. Now I need to get changed, work does not stop for us.”
She turned and walked out. I watched as her otherwise shapeless dress swayed with her hips, maybe it was time for another shopping trip.
