Country Boy, City Girl Chapter 69
It was the last full day of the convention, and after breakfast Ginger met us and we were on our way there. She once again said how much she had enjoyed the game the night before, and I told her she was more than welcome to join us that night for champagne.
Once we got there, we had barely started to wander the floor when I heard my name over the PA. Mr. Cummings was there with Roy, and after going to a private room they told me that all the arrangements were being made. Mr. Cummings had become a partner as well, but with only 10% of the investment, it was largely as a silent one.
They laid out contracts for me, and I said I had to run them past my lawyer and dad. Mr. Cummings laughed and told Roy that is what I would do. “One thing you will learn about Pete here, he is not a typical 18 year old k**. He has made well over $10,000 in the last year and a half, and is both not greedy and trusts his dad. Pete, can I ask you to at least sign a non-binding notice of agreement, stating you are seriously considering the offer as made, and will respond within 15 business days?”
I nodded, and after looking it over signed it and handed it back. It did not commit me to any agreements, but it did commit me to negotiate fairly and gave a basic scale proposal. Wow, 10% of the company, in addition to royalties and future shares of the profits!
Now I would not only be a creator, I would be part owner of a company!
He said he had already faxed a copy to my dad and lawyer, and expected things would be concluded by the end of next week unless there was any objection. And then Roy said he also wanted a handshake agreement to at least 1 more adventure that was similar by the end of August. I also told them that after the end of August, my dad would have complete power of attorney, so could sign any agreements in my name.
“Pete, I know you are going to pretty much be out of contact after that for several months. But that way we can advertise at least one more adventure in the future, and we are already sending out feelers for other material that will fit. We are filing for a Delaware Corporation next week, and are considering using the name 'XE Games'.”
“Hmmm, how about 'XY Games'? Or 'XX-XY Games'? I get your idea, XE sounds like Sexy. I am not saying it is bad, but consider XX-XY. It would be named for the chromosomes for female and male, the female being first. It implies sex, but is not quite as obvious.”
“Good idea, I like it. We have 3 or 4 others, and the 4 of us will be voting on it on Tuesday.”
“OK Roy, fair enough. I only have one demand. That the name in no way be demeaning or offensive. No 'Hot Whore Games', or anything like that. Other than that, I am pretty much open to just about anything. Oh, and expect within a few weeks to have my next game, I actually just had an idea.”
“Wow, so fast? You actually mean an idea just came to you now, or you have been thinking of one?”
“Nope, just struck me right now. And ironically, the source is the same 2 girls that inspired this one originally. Linda, Holly, remember when I was running you all through the adventure where Peggy put on that girdle?”
They both started to laugh, and I joined them. “OK, in short Linda's sister here and a friend were playing a couple in the game. And one of them picked up a cursed girdle of giant strength. The curse, was that it changed the gender of whoever put it on, short of a wish. How about this time, we have it happen to an entire party? The DM passes out the sheets, and of course, most will naturally pick a gender they identify with. Guys will normally pick a male character, girls will normally pick a female character. That's just automatic human nature. Then shortly after it starts, something happens and they all change. Now the guys have to play as girls, the girls as guys. Then we have it similar, with the and game being they find a way to change back?”
Everybody was laughing, and said it sounded great. “Oh god Pete, Linda and I will keep quiet of course, but you know Peggy, Mandy, and most of the others will kill you for this, right?”
“Yea, and? Do you deny that it would probably be fun?”
They all said it sounded great, and Roy told me to write it up. We ended the meeting, and Linda slipped out to join the group applying to take part in the game demonstration. Mr. Cummings had told me earlier that the guy he was going to have as the plant had to bail, and we would need Holly to do it. I simply told him that I was going to have Linda do it instead. And just like with Holly, she was going to pretend to be just another member of the audience. But of course, she knew that she was going to be the plant, and I was changing it from the Thieves Guild to the Mage Guild.
Mr. Cummings asked why the change, and I pointed out that in the video room that had been set aside for showing movies they had played a copy of Chaos in the Capitol the night before. “So far too many will get it if Holly is the plant, they may have seen the tape with her as Kaos. But I coached Linda as well, so she can do it fine.
Well, the room set aside for the presentation was packed, and I got a lot of applause as I took the seat at the head of the table. Once everything was set and tested, the doors were opened and everybody took a seat. The people who were to play were announced, and soon everything was set.
I gave the introduction to The Guild Wars, and soon we were off. Fairly quickly 2 of the players were convinced the thief was the guilty one, and said they were watching him like a hawk. Of course, he protested his innocence, and nobody noticed that Linda was dropping notes to be recovered by her guild, stating items that were normal were magical with an evil aura that she claimed were typical of articles the Thieves Guild used, and even once dropping a note she intended to be found written as the thief.
3 hours later the adventure wrapped up, with the guy playing the thief dead, and the players all storming the Thieves Guild, and killing everybody inside they could find. Only to be surprised they found nothing inside to corroborate any of the evidence they had collected.
Only then I narrated the aftermath, where the Magic Guild hunted down the party and other guilds, and took complete control of the city.
A lot of people were yelling, and tensions were high. And I then introduced Linda as my fiancee, and they all had to admit she had done a great job. And as everybody left the main table with a free copy of the game, I stood and told them about the game.
That first of all, there were dozens of ways to play it, and it was almost infinitely replayable. I had the director put up on the screen one of the character sheets, and I told them that this was a standard description, and each character had one like this. Then I had them display the other one, same character but as the spy. I then told them that any player could be the spy, it was up to the DM to decide who it would be before they played.
“And there are actually many ways to play it, not just with one of these characters being the plant. You can play with all players innocent, with a secret and hidden Assassin's Guild is the guilty one. I even have written out ideas for 2 players to each be the plants, either working together or working against each other. So this really is a game where you can play it, then a while later play it all over again, and it will be completely different.”
There was a lot of applause at the end, and I took questions for about 15 minutes before Mr. Cummings took the stage and announced that the module was now on sale. They had brought 5,000 copies of the adventure, and I think I signed every single copy by the time my cramping hand was able to take a break. And it could well have been that many, because they sold out of the entire run.
And most of the people who had me sign their copies said they could not wait to play it with their friends. I suggested that they start with the option with the hidden guild first. Then play it later with a player as the spy, that way they would not suspect it. And most seemed to like that idea.
We had just finished, and we dashed off to the room set aside for announcing tournament winners. Mr. Cummings and I both took the stage, and a lot of people applauded when we told them who we were, and presented the awards for the winners of the Oubliette tournament. Small trophies, as well as signed copies of the game were the awards.
Then it was just time enough for a snack, then head over to the end of day keynote. And I was kinda shocked when I realized it was actually another awards ceremony! Not just for the convention, but for the gaming industry!
That will teach me to not read in the schedule what the presentations were about.
I took the stage, and realized I was the presenter for the “Best Historic War Game – Board”, and when I read off that Civilization had won, I talked briefly how much I had enjoyed playing it as I presented the award.
Sadly, I was announced as a candidate for “Best Fantasy Game - Board”, but did not win. I was sitting next to Mr. Cummings, and I laughed as I called him an asshole, for not telling me what this actually was.
“Well Pete, we were not sure if we will even win anything. But they wanted you to present something, and this was the best way to get you here.”
I however was blown away when “Best Fantasy RPG Module” was announced, and Chaos in the Capitol won! I took the stage, and was given a nice trophy. I thanked all of the fans who had played it, and even had Holly stand up, where everybody clapped for my best friend as the “Original Kaos”.
I took my seat, and all 3 of the girls gave me hugs and congratulated me. Mr. Cummings even congratulated me, as this would assure at least a third printing of the game. This time with “Origins Award Winner” clearly on the cover.
Finally, it was all done, and we were all on the way to the hotel. This time both Mr. Cummings and Ginger were with us, and Deana was waiting for us in the lobby when we got out of the car. She had thought ahead and grabbed 2 more bottles of champagne, and soon we were relaxing and sipping it as we talked about the last several days.
“Well Pete, now you know what the big conventions are like. And yea, the LA ones are some of the biggest in the country. But this is really more of a National Convention, as well as a big trade show both combined. Oh, and we expect to sell out of 'The Guild Wars' within a month, so expect at least 3 or 4 runs of that also in the next 2 years. And some have told me you may be a two-time winner, it is already the favorite for next year. Better prepare your acceptance speech.”
“Sorry, no can do. Odds are I will not be able to make it, even if I do win. No telling where I will be, or if I can take time off even if I want to. But I promise I will try if I can. Too bad we can not do this for the Dildo adventure.”
I timed it perfectly, as both Deana and Ginger were sipping their drinks at the time, and both were almost ***********ed with giggles along with the other girls. We all had a good time, and I told the others my idea about the follow-up as they were not in the earlier meeting. Linda bless her pulled out her notebook and wrote down many of the suggestions they had, and they all said it would be a riot to play.
“So Pete, is this how you ended all the conventions we sent you to?”
“Yep, pretty much. My dad started it, and we have continued it every time. Once we are done for the night, go up to the room and drink champagne for a few hours to unwind before bed. And never enough to get drunk, just 3 or 4 glasses each. With 4 of us, that normally means 1 or 2 bottles a night. More, if we have more people. Sometimes there have been as many as 7 of us, with the girls sharing the rooms and us guys sleeping on the couch.”
“Uh-huh, you expect us to believe that?” Deana said with a grin.
“Deana, that is the truth. Once we had Linda and Mandy in one room, Holly and Peggy in another. Then me, Peggy's boyfriend, and Holly's boyfriend on the couch. Besides, you tell me how the logistics would work in a 2 bedroom suite with 3 couples and a single girl. Not possible.”
They all nodded. But Holly said that had been a great convention, and was actually fairly typical. “Now this time, I will not even deny that Linda and Pete there share the bedroom, and I sleep on the couch. But I also know that if I had asked, Pete would be sleeping here in a heartbeat and I would be in the room with Linda. This is more about us just doing something together that we all love to do than an excuse to have sex.”
It was almost midnight and we all said goodnight, and Ginger said she would pick us up at 9. We both hugged Holly, and Linda and I headed to bed where we were soon asleep.
We were just finishing breakfast, and Ginger said we had 4 hours to kill before we had to be at the airport. She asked where we wanted to go, and I told her we had all agreed to see the Henry Ford Museum. We spent almost all of our time there, exploring the exhibits and even seeing the cars they had on display. Then with an hour left she took us to the airport.
We all gave her hugs, and she had our information and promised to keep in contact. Then once we passed security we had just taken our seats when Deana joined us. We talked about how much fun we had had, and how we wanted to be able to attend future events. She told me that Gen-Con was as much fun, but this was more of an industry wide convention, where Gen-Con tended to be heavy with D&D, since it was so close to where TSR was headquartered.
The sun was just setting as the aircraft landed in Burbank, and after showing dad my trophy Linda and I walked Holly home. I drove Linda home, and I said I would call her the next day,. But I might just sleep in and take it easy. She said she understood, and it sounded like a good idea.
I helped her bring in her stuff, and with hugs from her sister and mom soon I was back home. Deana's car was still in the driveway, and apparently her and dad had already gone to bed. So making sure everything was locked up and turned off, I crawled in and was soon asleep.
The next few days were rather relaxing, mostly Linda coming over and chatting with me as I wrote up the new module, and confirmation that the company (XX-XY Games) was made and the check was on the way. That Wednesday we had a full group, and I ran them through the second module.
They all thought it was just another dungeon crawl, and I had not warned them it was to be another sexy game. When after 45 minutes they entered a chamber with a large stone that glowed pink, they did not think much of it until I described how each of them was changing genders.
And it was really funny, with Jack and Mike (as well as 2 male NPCs) becoming women, and Linda, Mandy, Holly and Peggy becoming men. Mandy had been playing a ranger, and even her wolf companion changed genders, going from female to male. When they got to the inn and were waiting for their armor to be modified, of course the 2 couples decided to try their new bodies. And both Jack and Mike hammed it up as their girlfriends, now boyfriends, were “giving it to them”.
And it took a while, but after a series of sexy encounters, they came into a room with a large stone that glowed blue. It was the counter of the first one, and asked them all if they wanted to return to their original genders. However, Mandy stated she wanted to remain male, and while everybody else reverted to their original gender, Mandy remained male and her wolf returned to female (I had written it this way, any companion or familiar would always return to the original gender).
And of course, when they returned to the city they all had to try out sex again. And they all said they loved it, and wrote out critique sheets and gave a few suggestions. The next day I made some changes based on things from the playthrough, and I sent it off to Roy.
When I came back from the post office, Linda and I went to my room and made love for 2 hours until we both fell into a happy slumber. We woke up with just enough time for us to grab a shower before my dad got home, and decided it would be fun skating that night. So we went ahead and drove to Parthenia and caught Mandy and Peggy just as they were finishing.
They said it sounded like fun, and we decided to hit the one in Tarzana again. Peggy called Mike and he joined us a bit later, and on the second skate Mandy came up and took my hand and Linda said she would take a break. She told me that her break-up with Harry had gone about as expected. He was not happy, but he was not torn up over it either.
I held her hand as we skated as usual, and I asked her if she had anybody else in mind as his replacement. She laughed, and said that unless something happened, she would just enjoy being single for a bit. But there were a few guys she was hoping might ask her out in a month or so when she was ready again.
At the next couples skate, Linda paired up with Mike, and Peggy took my hand so Mandy was the odd person out. She asked a lot of questions about Origins, and wished she could have gone. I told her that for me the conventions were pretty much done, unless I was lucky enough to get stationed here in California. And since I had no idea where I would be in a year, it may be years until I go to another one.
“That sucks Pete. But at least you can still write your games and articles. You can literally do that anywhere.”
“Yep, and I will be taking a break during training from that, but start again once I get settled down at my first duty station.”
There was only 1 more couples skate, and Linda took my hand as Peggy and Mandy skated together, leaving Mike alone on the sidelines. But it was time to call it a night, and soon I was driving Linda and Mandy home. I walked them to the door and got a hug from Mandy and a kiss from Linda and headed on home.
On Friday I was just reading when I got a phone call from Deana. It seems she had gotten 2 tickets to a taping of Happy Days, but because my dad and her already had plans she could not use them. She asked if I wanted them, and of course I jumped at the chance. It was for next Tuesday night, and as soon as I hung up I called Linda. Of course she wanted to go, and after talking a bit I went back to reading.
On Tuesday we headed over to Hollywood, and once we got in the studio we sat back and watched the taping. This was a first for both of us, and it was quite interesting. Even though each episode is only 30 minutes (20 or so without commercials), the taping actually went almost 3 hours. They did many shots over and over again, and we were supposed to laugh and applaud as if it was the first time we heard it. Ron Howard had already left the show, but Henry Winkler and the rest of the cast were there, as well as Pat Morita as a special guest.
As we drove home, Linda admitted she had a blast, and hoped we could do it again sometime. I told her I would check around, and see what I could come up with. That night we drove to the Japanese Garden and made love, and it was a long and slow time lasting well over 2 hours. Finally however after rising to the occasion 3 times I could not do it a fourth, so we cuddled until it was time for me to take her home.
On the 4th of July, we got together with Holly's parents, and had another combined party with them. The stile we had made for the New Year Party was put back together, and Mike was working as DJ again as we had a lot of fun going from yard to yard. Dad had taken a trip the week before to work on a RADAR in Arizona, and on the way back had stopped at an Indian Reservation and bought over $200 in i*****l fireworks. So we had a blast, setting off bottle rockets and Roman candles as the k**s ran around with sparklers.
I was able to spend a little time making out with Linda in the garage, and Holly and Jack were doing the same on the other side. But only for about 20 minutes, we had to head back before the 4 of us were missed.
The most exciting thing a week later was when Roy called me, and said that they approved the drawings that Mandy had made for them. Including the 4 color one she had done for the cover. I drove right over to tell her the news, and she was jumping up and down and screaming when I told her. And that the next week she should expect a check for $1,250. Since she was the artist and not the author she would not get any residual payments, unless the art was used in something else. But still it was an impressive amount, and she was now a paid artist.
2 weeks before I had to ship out I had just gotten home from a 3 mile run when there was a knock on the door. It was the postman, and after signing for it I opened it. It was the final galley print of Dildo of Seduction. I called Holly, and when I told her the news she said she would go and pick up Linda and Mandy. I called Peggy and she said she would be there shortly. I tried to call Jack, but he was not answering his phone. So with the 7 of us I went through it, and it looked amazing.
The Dildo of Seduction, by Jenny Talia. Artwork by Eileen Over. We were all really excited, and the only thing that Mandy was not happy with was that she could not use her real name. I told her it was the same for me, but it was sure to get her some future jobs now that Mr. Cummings knew what she could do. She brightened up over that, and I called Roy and told him we both liked it.
Also, he told me that they were still testing the next module, but it was sure to be a go also with a few modifications. I handed the phone to Mandy, and she promised him the newest copy of the artwork would be on the way the next week. And after a bit more we hung up and I put the copy in my permanent collection.
I then asked Mike and the girls if they would help me take care of a few things while they were there. They of course agreed when I promised lunch and a movie after, and soon we were packing up most of the Game Room into boxes I had bought, and storing them in the garage. Then they helped me pack away most of the things in my room, leaving only a few clothes and the furniture.
“Dude, why are you doing this?” Mike asked.
“Well, Deana is going to use the game room as her office, and since I may be gone for years there is no reason to leave all my things in my bedroom. If I end up back here I can always unpack them, but it makes no sense to keep it as my room when I may be gone for years. And all the boxes are labeled, so it will be easy if I need to have them send me anything from them.
“Yea, I guess that makes sense. But you're not taking out everything?”
“Naw, the pictures on the wall will work for Deana, since she works in the publishing industry. But the rest I may want them to send to me so this way they know where to find something if I need it.”
I made burgers and we all ate, and the movie everybody wanted to see was the animated Lord of the Rings movie from a few years before. We had all seen it before, but it was a really good movie. Even though it really only covered the first book and a half.
But as it was getting dark everybody started to make their departure. Peggy and Mandy to get some last practice before a competition that weekend, and Holly to her own place. Linda and I headed upstairs, and soon she had me lying on my back as she sucked my cock. I was running my fingers through her hair, and whispering to her how good it felt, as her lips moved up and down my shaft. Finally, I told her I was close, and she actually took the head out of her mouth and started to stroke me faster.
I moaned I was gonna cum, and she stroked me even faster! I tried to hold back, but was unable to do so any longer. And I watched as the first jet of my cum struck her just under her nose. The second one splashed across her left cheek, then she moved me to the other side so the third splashed her right cheek. The last hit her chin, then down around her hand and myself.
I gasped, and looked down at my ***********. Her face was covered with my cum, some of it now dripping down her face. “God Linda, what brought that on?”
“Well, I have seen that several times in some of those movies, and I wanted to see what it was like. And yea, like when you came on my belly it had to be for the camera. It's sure messy, and I think I prefer it in me and not on me. Towel please Pete?”
I handed her a towel, and together we got her face cleaned up as she giggled. “Well, at least it was better than the time that Holly had something similar,” I said.
“Oh I know! That's why I was careful to keep you away from my eyes as well as my eyes mostly closed. I wanted to see it, and fuck it looked awesome from that close! It was like your cum just leaped out of your cock, and I felt it hit my face. And again, and then again and again. It was like you were never going to stop, you came so much on me baby.”
We finally had her clean, and I pulled her on top of me and started to kiss her deeply. Soon I was hard again and rolling her over I slipped onto and into her. Her knees moved up and gripped my sides as she urged me to fuck her faster and faster. Thankfully I was able to hold out long enough for her to reach her orgasm, but not by much. I had just felt her start to clench around me when I pushed in deep and came, both of us moaning deeply and kissing as I did so.
After a fast shower we were heading off to see a movie when my dad came home from work. We both hugged him as we headed off, and thankfully Holly was already waiting for us. When we pulled up in front of Jack's he was waiting, and soon we were pulling into the Winnetka Drive-In, glad that this one did not use the window box for sound but plugged into the car radio.
We had been hearing about Krull for a few weeks now, but this is the first time we have been able to go. And it was actually pretty good. Kinda cheesy, but most of the sword and sorcery movies were like that. I said it was too bad that the throwing weapon would not work in a game. It would be overpowered, and hard to make it work well.
The four of us decided to head off when Twilight Zone was the second feature. We had all seen it already, and did not feel like watching it again. Before we even pulled out of the drive-in, Jack and Holly were all the way in the back of the truck, and Linda held my hand as I drove over to the small park I found near the dam. Soon Linda and I were making out in the front, and my hand was deep inside of her panties when we heard something familiar from the back.
I slipped my 3 fingers deep inside of her and held them there as I heard Holly moaning in the back, and the sounds of bodies meeting bodies as the truck was rocking forward and back. Linda hissed softly, and pulled me close and bit my ear, whispering “Oh baby, Jack is fucking Holly”. I whispered that indeed he was, and doing it very well by the sound of it. We heard Holly gasp and moan, and the rocking stopped as it sounded like they were kissing deeply. I started to finger Linda again, and soon the rocking restarted.
I was slipping my fingers in and out in time with them, and soon she was clutching my arm and moaning into my mouth as she came on my fingers. Then pushing my hand away she yanked my pants down and almost swallowed my cock. She was bobbing up and down and doing nothing to hide the sound of her slurping and sucking as I heard Holly moan once again, then Jack give a deep moan himself and the rocking stopped.
Now the only sounds were of the two of them kissing in the back, and the unmistakable sounds of Linda sucking my cock. I heard them talking softly, and I was unable to hold off much longer. I moaned Linda's name, and she could tell it was time. Holding just the head of my cock in her mouth she moaned as I started to shoot, sending several spurts into her mouth. She moaned as I did, swallowing them as fast as they came.
Finally, she pulled up and gave me a deep kiss, holding each other tightly as we explored each other's mouths with our tongues. We were both back to normal, and held each other tight. I heard a soft cough from the back, and Holly asked if we were alright.
Linda said we were all finished up here, and we heard them both laugh softly, then it felt and sounded like they were getting dressed again. We got our clothing back in place in the front, and soon they were both climbing from the back to the rear seat. Holly grinned and blushed, and Jack looked a bit shamefaced.
“Sorry Pete, I guess we got a little carried away there,” Jack said.
We all laughed, and I told him not to worry about it. “Jack, this is hardly the first time we had fun with another couple in the same car. In fact, if this had been my old Scout, we would not have had that other seat between us, and Holly and Linda might have been holding hands.”
Both girls giggled, and he looked at me. “Yea, they did that more than once. They kinda like holding hands as one of them has an orgasm. It's just a closeness thing, so don't worry about it at all.”
“Actually, that sounds kind of hot. If we do this again, why don't you guys take the back, and Holly and I grab the back seat?”
Holly slapped his chest, and Linda did not help by breaking out into giggles. I said I would think about it, as I saw in the rearview mirror Holly shake her head no. I took Jack home, and he and Holly shared a kiss before I drove Linda home. And after we shared a kiss and I walked her to her door I drove home.
I held Holly, and she whispered that as much fun as that was, she really did not want a repeat. “Pete, that was just so close to what we did earlier, and I want that behind me.”
“No problem, I will explain it to Linda tomorrow. I think she will understand. I guess you two just got carried away tonight?”
“Well, yea. It has been almost two weeks, and neither of us could resist tonight. But I do not want to go back to what we did with Keith, to be honest. As sexy as that was, I want that in the past.”
“No problem Holly. I am leaving soon anyways, so I doubt this will happen again.” I hugged her good night and she kissed my cheek, saying she would see me the next day.
And it did not happen again. The last week was mostly in spending time with Linda. The night before I had to go, we had a big send-off dinner with Holly's family, Linda's family, and my dad and Deana. They all wished me luck, and that they looked forward to seeing me in 3 months. Then with tears and kisses from all the gals and even a hug from Holly's dad, they all got ready to go.
Rosie pulled me aside, and gave me a hug, saying she would see Linda in the morning. I looked at her, somewhat shocked. Linda and I had already spent most of the day making love, and thought it had been for the last time in 3 months.
“Pete, Linda, spend the night together. I understand, and I am taking the day off of work so I will be there for you when you get home.”
We both hugged her, and hand in hand Linda and I headed to my room.
We made love one more time, but I have a feeling there was not much left as it took me a long time to cum after 5 times earlier in the day. I made sure to set my alarm, and we held each other as I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up in the morning, and after a shower got dressed. I had said goodbye the night before to my dad, and I did not wake him up. I gave Linda a big tight hug, and a long soft kiss. She was crying softly, and I said I loved her, and would see her in November. And with a final kiss, I picked up my overnight bag and handed her the keys to Blue Whale. And with a smile, I started the 5 block walk to the recruiting station and my new life.
Once we got there, we had barely started to wander the floor when I heard my name over the PA. Mr. Cummings was there with Roy, and after going to a private room they told me that all the arrangements were being made. Mr. Cummings had become a partner as well, but with only 10% of the investment, it was largely as a silent one.
They laid out contracts for me, and I said I had to run them past my lawyer and dad. Mr. Cummings laughed and told Roy that is what I would do. “One thing you will learn about Pete here, he is not a typical 18 year old k**. He has made well over $10,000 in the last year and a half, and is both not greedy and trusts his dad. Pete, can I ask you to at least sign a non-binding notice of agreement, stating you are seriously considering the offer as made, and will respond within 15 business days?”
I nodded, and after looking it over signed it and handed it back. It did not commit me to any agreements, but it did commit me to negotiate fairly and gave a basic scale proposal. Wow, 10% of the company, in addition to royalties and future shares of the profits!
Now I would not only be a creator, I would be part owner of a company!
He said he had already faxed a copy to my dad and lawyer, and expected things would be concluded by the end of next week unless there was any objection. And then Roy said he also wanted a handshake agreement to at least 1 more adventure that was similar by the end of August. I also told them that after the end of August, my dad would have complete power of attorney, so could sign any agreements in my name.
“Pete, I know you are going to pretty much be out of contact after that for several months. But that way we can advertise at least one more adventure in the future, and we are already sending out feelers for other material that will fit. We are filing for a Delaware Corporation next week, and are considering using the name 'XE Games'.”
“Hmmm, how about 'XY Games'? Or 'XX-XY Games'? I get your idea, XE sounds like Sexy. I am not saying it is bad, but consider XX-XY. It would be named for the chromosomes for female and male, the female being first. It implies sex, but is not quite as obvious.”
“Good idea, I like it. We have 3 or 4 others, and the 4 of us will be voting on it on Tuesday.”
“OK Roy, fair enough. I only have one demand. That the name in no way be demeaning or offensive. No 'Hot Whore Games', or anything like that. Other than that, I am pretty much open to just about anything. Oh, and expect within a few weeks to have my next game, I actually just had an idea.”
“Wow, so fast? You actually mean an idea just came to you now, or you have been thinking of one?”
“Nope, just struck me right now. And ironically, the source is the same 2 girls that inspired this one originally. Linda, Holly, remember when I was running you all through the adventure where Peggy put on that girdle?”
They both started to laugh, and I joined them. “OK, in short Linda's sister here and a friend were playing a couple in the game. And one of them picked up a cursed girdle of giant strength. The curse, was that it changed the gender of whoever put it on, short of a wish. How about this time, we have it happen to an entire party? The DM passes out the sheets, and of course, most will naturally pick a gender they identify with. Guys will normally pick a male character, girls will normally pick a female character. That's just automatic human nature. Then shortly after it starts, something happens and they all change. Now the guys have to play as girls, the girls as guys. Then we have it similar, with the and game being they find a way to change back?”
Everybody was laughing, and said it sounded great. “Oh god Pete, Linda and I will keep quiet of course, but you know Peggy, Mandy, and most of the others will kill you for this, right?”
“Yea, and? Do you deny that it would probably be fun?”
They all said it sounded great, and Roy told me to write it up. We ended the meeting, and Linda slipped out to join the group applying to take part in the game demonstration. Mr. Cummings had told me earlier that the guy he was going to have as the plant had to bail, and we would need Holly to do it. I simply told him that I was going to have Linda do it instead. And just like with Holly, she was going to pretend to be just another member of the audience. But of course, she knew that she was going to be the plant, and I was changing it from the Thieves Guild to the Mage Guild.
Mr. Cummings asked why the change, and I pointed out that in the video room that had been set aside for showing movies they had played a copy of Chaos in the Capitol the night before. “So far too many will get it if Holly is the plant, they may have seen the tape with her as Kaos. But I coached Linda as well, so she can do it fine.
Well, the room set aside for the presentation was packed, and I got a lot of applause as I took the seat at the head of the table. Once everything was set and tested, the doors were opened and everybody took a seat. The people who were to play were announced, and soon everything was set.
I gave the introduction to The Guild Wars, and soon we were off. Fairly quickly 2 of the players were convinced the thief was the guilty one, and said they were watching him like a hawk. Of course, he protested his innocence, and nobody noticed that Linda was dropping notes to be recovered by her guild, stating items that were normal were magical with an evil aura that she claimed were typical of articles the Thieves Guild used, and even once dropping a note she intended to be found written as the thief.
3 hours later the adventure wrapped up, with the guy playing the thief dead, and the players all storming the Thieves Guild, and killing everybody inside they could find. Only to be surprised they found nothing inside to corroborate any of the evidence they had collected.
Only then I narrated the aftermath, where the Magic Guild hunted down the party and other guilds, and took complete control of the city.
A lot of people were yelling, and tensions were high. And I then introduced Linda as my fiancee, and they all had to admit she had done a great job. And as everybody left the main table with a free copy of the game, I stood and told them about the game.
That first of all, there were dozens of ways to play it, and it was almost infinitely replayable. I had the director put up on the screen one of the character sheets, and I told them that this was a standard description, and each character had one like this. Then I had them display the other one, same character but as the spy. I then told them that any player could be the spy, it was up to the DM to decide who it would be before they played.
“And there are actually many ways to play it, not just with one of these characters being the plant. You can play with all players innocent, with a secret and hidden Assassin's Guild is the guilty one. I even have written out ideas for 2 players to each be the plants, either working together or working against each other. So this really is a game where you can play it, then a while later play it all over again, and it will be completely different.”
There was a lot of applause at the end, and I took questions for about 15 minutes before Mr. Cummings took the stage and announced that the module was now on sale. They had brought 5,000 copies of the adventure, and I think I signed every single copy by the time my cramping hand was able to take a break. And it could well have been that many, because they sold out of the entire run.
And most of the people who had me sign their copies said they could not wait to play it with their friends. I suggested that they start with the option with the hidden guild first. Then play it later with a player as the spy, that way they would not suspect it. And most seemed to like that idea.
We had just finished, and we dashed off to the room set aside for announcing tournament winners. Mr. Cummings and I both took the stage, and a lot of people applauded when we told them who we were, and presented the awards for the winners of the Oubliette tournament. Small trophies, as well as signed copies of the game were the awards.
Then it was just time enough for a snack, then head over to the end of day keynote. And I was kinda shocked when I realized it was actually another awards ceremony! Not just for the convention, but for the gaming industry!
That will teach me to not read in the schedule what the presentations were about.
I took the stage, and realized I was the presenter for the “Best Historic War Game – Board”, and when I read off that Civilization had won, I talked briefly how much I had enjoyed playing it as I presented the award.
Sadly, I was announced as a candidate for “Best Fantasy Game - Board”, but did not win. I was sitting next to Mr. Cummings, and I laughed as I called him an asshole, for not telling me what this actually was.
“Well Pete, we were not sure if we will even win anything. But they wanted you to present something, and this was the best way to get you here.”
I however was blown away when “Best Fantasy RPG Module” was announced, and Chaos in the Capitol won! I took the stage, and was given a nice trophy. I thanked all of the fans who had played it, and even had Holly stand up, where everybody clapped for my best friend as the “Original Kaos”.
I took my seat, and all 3 of the girls gave me hugs and congratulated me. Mr. Cummings even congratulated me, as this would assure at least a third printing of the game. This time with “Origins Award Winner” clearly on the cover.
Finally, it was all done, and we were all on the way to the hotel. This time both Mr. Cummings and Ginger were with us, and Deana was waiting for us in the lobby when we got out of the car. She had thought ahead and grabbed 2 more bottles of champagne, and soon we were relaxing and sipping it as we talked about the last several days.
“Well Pete, now you know what the big conventions are like. And yea, the LA ones are some of the biggest in the country. But this is really more of a National Convention, as well as a big trade show both combined. Oh, and we expect to sell out of 'The Guild Wars' within a month, so expect at least 3 or 4 runs of that also in the next 2 years. And some have told me you may be a two-time winner, it is already the favorite for next year. Better prepare your acceptance speech.”
“Sorry, no can do. Odds are I will not be able to make it, even if I do win. No telling where I will be, or if I can take time off even if I want to. But I promise I will try if I can. Too bad we can not do this for the Dildo adventure.”
I timed it perfectly, as both Deana and Ginger were sipping their drinks at the time, and both were almost ***********ed with giggles along with the other girls. We all had a good time, and I told the others my idea about the follow-up as they were not in the earlier meeting. Linda bless her pulled out her notebook and wrote down many of the suggestions they had, and they all said it would be a riot to play.
“So Pete, is this how you ended all the conventions we sent you to?”
“Yep, pretty much. My dad started it, and we have continued it every time. Once we are done for the night, go up to the room and drink champagne for a few hours to unwind before bed. And never enough to get drunk, just 3 or 4 glasses each. With 4 of us, that normally means 1 or 2 bottles a night. More, if we have more people. Sometimes there have been as many as 7 of us, with the girls sharing the rooms and us guys sleeping on the couch.”
“Uh-huh, you expect us to believe that?” Deana said with a grin.
“Deana, that is the truth. Once we had Linda and Mandy in one room, Holly and Peggy in another. Then me, Peggy's boyfriend, and Holly's boyfriend on the couch. Besides, you tell me how the logistics would work in a 2 bedroom suite with 3 couples and a single girl. Not possible.”
They all nodded. But Holly said that had been a great convention, and was actually fairly typical. “Now this time, I will not even deny that Linda and Pete there share the bedroom, and I sleep on the couch. But I also know that if I had asked, Pete would be sleeping here in a heartbeat and I would be in the room with Linda. This is more about us just doing something together that we all love to do than an excuse to have sex.”
It was almost midnight and we all said goodnight, and Ginger said she would pick us up at 9. We both hugged Holly, and Linda and I headed to bed where we were soon asleep.
We were just finishing breakfast, and Ginger said we had 4 hours to kill before we had to be at the airport. She asked where we wanted to go, and I told her we had all agreed to see the Henry Ford Museum. We spent almost all of our time there, exploring the exhibits and even seeing the cars they had on display. Then with an hour left she took us to the airport.
We all gave her hugs, and she had our information and promised to keep in contact. Then once we passed security we had just taken our seats when Deana joined us. We talked about how much fun we had had, and how we wanted to be able to attend future events. She told me that Gen-Con was as much fun, but this was more of an industry wide convention, where Gen-Con tended to be heavy with D&D, since it was so close to where TSR was headquartered.
The sun was just setting as the aircraft landed in Burbank, and after showing dad my trophy Linda and I walked Holly home. I drove Linda home, and I said I would call her the next day,. But I might just sleep in and take it easy. She said she understood, and it sounded like a good idea.
I helped her bring in her stuff, and with hugs from her sister and mom soon I was back home. Deana's car was still in the driveway, and apparently her and dad had already gone to bed. So making sure everything was locked up and turned off, I crawled in and was soon asleep.
The next few days were rather relaxing, mostly Linda coming over and chatting with me as I wrote up the new module, and confirmation that the company (XX-XY Games) was made and the check was on the way. That Wednesday we had a full group, and I ran them through the second module.
They all thought it was just another dungeon crawl, and I had not warned them it was to be another sexy game. When after 45 minutes they entered a chamber with a large stone that glowed pink, they did not think much of it until I described how each of them was changing genders.
And it was really funny, with Jack and Mike (as well as 2 male NPCs) becoming women, and Linda, Mandy, Holly and Peggy becoming men. Mandy had been playing a ranger, and even her wolf companion changed genders, going from female to male. When they got to the inn and were waiting for their armor to be modified, of course the 2 couples decided to try their new bodies. And both Jack and Mike hammed it up as their girlfriends, now boyfriends, were “giving it to them”.
And it took a while, but after a series of sexy encounters, they came into a room with a large stone that glowed blue. It was the counter of the first one, and asked them all if they wanted to return to their original genders. However, Mandy stated she wanted to remain male, and while everybody else reverted to their original gender, Mandy remained male and her wolf returned to female (I had written it this way, any companion or familiar would always return to the original gender).
And of course, when they returned to the city they all had to try out sex again. And they all said they loved it, and wrote out critique sheets and gave a few suggestions. The next day I made some changes based on things from the playthrough, and I sent it off to Roy.
When I came back from the post office, Linda and I went to my room and made love for 2 hours until we both fell into a happy slumber. We woke up with just enough time for us to grab a shower before my dad got home, and decided it would be fun skating that night. So we went ahead and drove to Parthenia and caught Mandy and Peggy just as they were finishing.
They said it sounded like fun, and we decided to hit the one in Tarzana again. Peggy called Mike and he joined us a bit later, and on the second skate Mandy came up and took my hand and Linda said she would take a break. She told me that her break-up with Harry had gone about as expected. He was not happy, but he was not torn up over it either.
I held her hand as we skated as usual, and I asked her if she had anybody else in mind as his replacement. She laughed, and said that unless something happened, she would just enjoy being single for a bit. But there were a few guys she was hoping might ask her out in a month or so when she was ready again.
At the next couples skate, Linda paired up with Mike, and Peggy took my hand so Mandy was the odd person out. She asked a lot of questions about Origins, and wished she could have gone. I told her that for me the conventions were pretty much done, unless I was lucky enough to get stationed here in California. And since I had no idea where I would be in a year, it may be years until I go to another one.
“That sucks Pete. But at least you can still write your games and articles. You can literally do that anywhere.”
“Yep, and I will be taking a break during training from that, but start again once I get settled down at my first duty station.”
There was only 1 more couples skate, and Linda took my hand as Peggy and Mandy skated together, leaving Mike alone on the sidelines. But it was time to call it a night, and soon I was driving Linda and Mandy home. I walked them to the door and got a hug from Mandy and a kiss from Linda and headed on home.
On Friday I was just reading when I got a phone call from Deana. It seems she had gotten 2 tickets to a taping of Happy Days, but because my dad and her already had plans she could not use them. She asked if I wanted them, and of course I jumped at the chance. It was for next Tuesday night, and as soon as I hung up I called Linda. Of course she wanted to go, and after talking a bit I went back to reading.
On Tuesday we headed over to Hollywood, and once we got in the studio we sat back and watched the taping. This was a first for both of us, and it was quite interesting. Even though each episode is only 30 minutes (20 or so without commercials), the taping actually went almost 3 hours. They did many shots over and over again, and we were supposed to laugh and applaud as if it was the first time we heard it. Ron Howard had already left the show, but Henry Winkler and the rest of the cast were there, as well as Pat Morita as a special guest.
As we drove home, Linda admitted she had a blast, and hoped we could do it again sometime. I told her I would check around, and see what I could come up with. That night we drove to the Japanese Garden and made love, and it was a long and slow time lasting well over 2 hours. Finally however after rising to the occasion 3 times I could not do it a fourth, so we cuddled until it was time for me to take her home.
On the 4th of July, we got together with Holly's parents, and had another combined party with them. The stile we had made for the New Year Party was put back together, and Mike was working as DJ again as we had a lot of fun going from yard to yard. Dad had taken a trip the week before to work on a RADAR in Arizona, and on the way back had stopped at an Indian Reservation and bought over $200 in i*****l fireworks. So we had a blast, setting off bottle rockets and Roman candles as the k**s ran around with sparklers.
I was able to spend a little time making out with Linda in the garage, and Holly and Jack were doing the same on the other side. But only for about 20 minutes, we had to head back before the 4 of us were missed.
The most exciting thing a week later was when Roy called me, and said that they approved the drawings that Mandy had made for them. Including the 4 color one she had done for the cover. I drove right over to tell her the news, and she was jumping up and down and screaming when I told her. And that the next week she should expect a check for $1,250. Since she was the artist and not the author she would not get any residual payments, unless the art was used in something else. But still it was an impressive amount, and she was now a paid artist.
2 weeks before I had to ship out I had just gotten home from a 3 mile run when there was a knock on the door. It was the postman, and after signing for it I opened it. It was the final galley print of Dildo of Seduction. I called Holly, and when I told her the news she said she would go and pick up Linda and Mandy. I called Peggy and she said she would be there shortly. I tried to call Jack, but he was not answering his phone. So with the 7 of us I went through it, and it looked amazing.
The Dildo of Seduction, by Jenny Talia. Artwork by Eileen Over. We were all really excited, and the only thing that Mandy was not happy with was that she could not use her real name. I told her it was the same for me, but it was sure to get her some future jobs now that Mr. Cummings knew what she could do. She brightened up over that, and I called Roy and told him we both liked it.
Also, he told me that they were still testing the next module, but it was sure to be a go also with a few modifications. I handed the phone to Mandy, and she promised him the newest copy of the artwork would be on the way the next week. And after a bit more we hung up and I put the copy in my permanent collection.
I then asked Mike and the girls if they would help me take care of a few things while they were there. They of course agreed when I promised lunch and a movie after, and soon we were packing up most of the Game Room into boxes I had bought, and storing them in the garage. Then they helped me pack away most of the things in my room, leaving only a few clothes and the furniture.
“Dude, why are you doing this?” Mike asked.
“Well, Deana is going to use the game room as her office, and since I may be gone for years there is no reason to leave all my things in my bedroom. If I end up back here I can always unpack them, but it makes no sense to keep it as my room when I may be gone for years. And all the boxes are labeled, so it will be easy if I need to have them send me anything from them.
“Yea, I guess that makes sense. But you're not taking out everything?”
“Naw, the pictures on the wall will work for Deana, since she works in the publishing industry. But the rest I may want them to send to me so this way they know where to find something if I need it.”
I made burgers and we all ate, and the movie everybody wanted to see was the animated Lord of the Rings movie from a few years before. We had all seen it before, but it was a really good movie. Even though it really only covered the first book and a half.
But as it was getting dark everybody started to make their departure. Peggy and Mandy to get some last practice before a competition that weekend, and Holly to her own place. Linda and I headed upstairs, and soon she had me lying on my back as she sucked my cock. I was running my fingers through her hair, and whispering to her how good it felt, as her lips moved up and down my shaft. Finally, I told her I was close, and she actually took the head out of her mouth and started to stroke me faster.
I moaned I was gonna cum, and she stroked me even faster! I tried to hold back, but was unable to do so any longer. And I watched as the first jet of my cum struck her just under her nose. The second one splashed across her left cheek, then she moved me to the other side so the third splashed her right cheek. The last hit her chin, then down around her hand and myself.
I gasped, and looked down at my ***********. Her face was covered with my cum, some of it now dripping down her face. “God Linda, what brought that on?”
“Well, I have seen that several times in some of those movies, and I wanted to see what it was like. And yea, like when you came on my belly it had to be for the camera. It's sure messy, and I think I prefer it in me and not on me. Towel please Pete?”
I handed her a towel, and together we got her face cleaned up as she giggled. “Well, at least it was better than the time that Holly had something similar,” I said.
“Oh I know! That's why I was careful to keep you away from my eyes as well as my eyes mostly closed. I wanted to see it, and fuck it looked awesome from that close! It was like your cum just leaped out of your cock, and I felt it hit my face. And again, and then again and again. It was like you were never going to stop, you came so much on me baby.”
We finally had her clean, and I pulled her on top of me and started to kiss her deeply. Soon I was hard again and rolling her over I slipped onto and into her. Her knees moved up and gripped my sides as she urged me to fuck her faster and faster. Thankfully I was able to hold out long enough for her to reach her orgasm, but not by much. I had just felt her start to clench around me when I pushed in deep and came, both of us moaning deeply and kissing as I did so.
After a fast shower we were heading off to see a movie when my dad came home from work. We both hugged him as we headed off, and thankfully Holly was already waiting for us. When we pulled up in front of Jack's he was waiting, and soon we were pulling into the Winnetka Drive-In, glad that this one did not use the window box for sound but plugged into the car radio.
We had been hearing about Krull for a few weeks now, but this is the first time we have been able to go. And it was actually pretty good. Kinda cheesy, but most of the sword and sorcery movies were like that. I said it was too bad that the throwing weapon would not work in a game. It would be overpowered, and hard to make it work well.
The four of us decided to head off when Twilight Zone was the second feature. We had all seen it already, and did not feel like watching it again. Before we even pulled out of the drive-in, Jack and Holly were all the way in the back of the truck, and Linda held my hand as I drove over to the small park I found near the dam. Soon Linda and I were making out in the front, and my hand was deep inside of her panties when we heard something familiar from the back.
I slipped my 3 fingers deep inside of her and held them there as I heard Holly moaning in the back, and the sounds of bodies meeting bodies as the truck was rocking forward and back. Linda hissed softly, and pulled me close and bit my ear, whispering “Oh baby, Jack is fucking Holly”. I whispered that indeed he was, and doing it very well by the sound of it. We heard Holly gasp and moan, and the rocking stopped as it sounded like they were kissing deeply. I started to finger Linda again, and soon the rocking restarted.
I was slipping my fingers in and out in time with them, and soon she was clutching my arm and moaning into my mouth as she came on my fingers. Then pushing my hand away she yanked my pants down and almost swallowed my cock. She was bobbing up and down and doing nothing to hide the sound of her slurping and sucking as I heard Holly moan once again, then Jack give a deep moan himself and the rocking stopped.
Now the only sounds were of the two of them kissing in the back, and the unmistakable sounds of Linda sucking my cock. I heard them talking softly, and I was unable to hold off much longer. I moaned Linda's name, and she could tell it was time. Holding just the head of my cock in her mouth she moaned as I started to shoot, sending several spurts into her mouth. She moaned as I did, swallowing them as fast as they came.
Finally, she pulled up and gave me a deep kiss, holding each other tightly as we explored each other's mouths with our tongues. We were both back to normal, and held each other tight. I heard a soft cough from the back, and Holly asked if we were alright.
Linda said we were all finished up here, and we heard them both laugh softly, then it felt and sounded like they were getting dressed again. We got our clothing back in place in the front, and soon they were both climbing from the back to the rear seat. Holly grinned and blushed, and Jack looked a bit shamefaced.
“Sorry Pete, I guess we got a little carried away there,” Jack said.
We all laughed, and I told him not to worry about it. “Jack, this is hardly the first time we had fun with another couple in the same car. In fact, if this had been my old Scout, we would not have had that other seat between us, and Holly and Linda might have been holding hands.”
Both girls giggled, and he looked at me. “Yea, they did that more than once. They kinda like holding hands as one of them has an orgasm. It's just a closeness thing, so don't worry about it at all.”
“Actually, that sounds kind of hot. If we do this again, why don't you guys take the back, and Holly and I grab the back seat?”
Holly slapped his chest, and Linda did not help by breaking out into giggles. I said I would think about it, as I saw in the rearview mirror Holly shake her head no. I took Jack home, and he and Holly shared a kiss before I drove Linda home. And after we shared a kiss and I walked her to her door I drove home.
I held Holly, and she whispered that as much fun as that was, she really did not want a repeat. “Pete, that was just so close to what we did earlier, and I want that behind me.”
“No problem, I will explain it to Linda tomorrow. I think she will understand. I guess you two just got carried away tonight?”
“Well, yea. It has been almost two weeks, and neither of us could resist tonight. But I do not want to go back to what we did with Keith, to be honest. As sexy as that was, I want that in the past.”
“No problem Holly. I am leaving soon anyways, so I doubt this will happen again.” I hugged her good night and she kissed my cheek, saying she would see me the next day.
And it did not happen again. The last week was mostly in spending time with Linda. The night before I had to go, we had a big send-off dinner with Holly's family, Linda's family, and my dad and Deana. They all wished me luck, and that they looked forward to seeing me in 3 months. Then with tears and kisses from all the gals and even a hug from Holly's dad, they all got ready to go.
Rosie pulled me aside, and gave me a hug, saying she would see Linda in the morning. I looked at her, somewhat shocked. Linda and I had already spent most of the day making love, and thought it had been for the last time in 3 months.
“Pete, Linda, spend the night together. I understand, and I am taking the day off of work so I will be there for you when you get home.”
We both hugged her, and hand in hand Linda and I headed to my room.
We made love one more time, but I have a feeling there was not much left as it took me a long time to cum after 5 times earlier in the day. I made sure to set my alarm, and we held each other as I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up in the morning, and after a shower got dressed. I had said goodbye the night before to my dad, and I did not wake him up. I gave Linda a big tight hug, and a long soft kiss. She was crying softly, and I said I loved her, and would see her in November. And with a final kiss, I picked up my overnight bag and handed her the keys to Blue Whale. And with a smile, I started the 5 block walk to the recruiting station and my new life.
