The Alternatives

the maid

On this blog page is Part 7 of the science fiction story Old Time Gaming. At the end of Part 5, Rylla was having fun playing a seductive game with Captain Doones. Rylla now exists as a collection of nanites, but she is using the curvaceous body of Sophie McKnight, a young school teacher. Doones was making no effort to disguise the fact that he found Rylla/Sophie to be sexually attractive. Rylla invited the Captain into her cottage so as to avoid a sudden downpour. 

During her mission in Australia, Rylla is expecting to be visited by Manny, the bumpha. Manny previously promised Rylla an intense love making session during a thunderstorm, and with thunder rumbling above the cottage, Rylla starts wondering if Manny might have disguised herself as Captain Doones.

the Captain

While entertaining the Captain, Rylla is also expecting the arrival of her maid, Elizabeth. Sophie and Elizabeth have been lovers for the past two years. Before Elizabeth arrives, Captain Doones is enjoying the opportunity to spend time alone with Rylla and hoping that she will continue to shelter him from the rain and won't send him away, out into the stormy night. The events in Part 7, below, continue from the events right at the end of Part 5.

Part 7 of Old Time Gaming. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6.

Managing to pull his eyes off of Rylla's cute breasts, Doones looked around the interior of Sophie's cottage. "I haven't seen your bedroom... yet, but this appears to be a very cozy home. I'd be very pleased to stay here tonight and keep you company if you invited me..."

Rylla was allowing her eyes to trace the contours of the Captain's graceful chest and arm muscles. Now she looked into his eyes and said, "I'm actually expecting a guest this evening."

Doones could not keep a small frown from appearing on his lips. "Who's the lucky man?"

"No man, just my maid. She drops in twice a week to dust off my furniture and my genitals. She's a lot like you, a big fan of my bouncy breasts." For the 20th time she hitched up the thin piece of cloth that was partially concealing her breasts.

"Don't let me interfere with your regular schedule of domesticity. I'd love to meet this professional duster." Doones held up two fingers. "Two questions just popped into my head: what is her name and, given her apparent interest in women, might she be willing to also dust off the genitals of a lonely soldier?"

"She's another Elizabeth, often called Liza." Rylla held up two fingers and said, "Besides her name, I can share two other pieces of information with you: first, Liza prefers to make love to women, and two, I doubt if she's ever turned down the opportunity to play with a penis."

The captain went and looked out the front window. Rain was still falling heavily. There was a nearby flash of lightening and then a crash of thunder. "How intriguing. I do hope the storm does not keep her away."

"She's very diligent about her duties and very reliable. She'll be here, even if she has to swim." 

He muttered, "There are so many Elizabeths." Doones returned to stand close to Rylla and took a sip of the wine that she had poured out. "Speaking of Elizabeths, what do you think of the Governor's wife? In my view, that's a real classy woman."

Rylla nodded and reviewed in her mind what was known about the Governor's wife. "She is impressive. Today while I was admiring her sleek figure, I wondered why she's never had any children."

Doones shrugged. "Some women go out of their way to avoid pregnancy." He pulled a condom out of his pocket. "I came prepared today, in case you might have worries about becoming pregnant."

Rylla took the condom and placed it over her finger. It appeared to be well-used, having been washed and re-used many times. She pulled the draw-string tight. "How thoughtful of you, Captain, but don't forget: I have not invited you to explore my vagina. I doubt if you will need this little sperm corral tonight... unless Liza takes a fancy to you."

Just then, Elizabeth came into the cottage, shaking off rain and complaining, "I got caught in this storm-" She saw the Captain. 

He walked over and handed her the towel. "Captain Doones, at you service. And Sophie's."

Elizabeth giggled and with one glance noticed the bulge in Doone's pants, Rylla's barely concealed breasts, the condom on her finger and the three stiff, pink nipples that were on display in the room, two on the Captains lovely chest. "Sorry if I'm interrupting you two."

"We've been anticipating your arrival, Liza." Doones said gallantly, "We're glad you braved the storm to attend this little party. The more the merrier."

Using the towel, Elizabeth dried her face and hair then took off her wet coat and then wiped her hands on the towel again before she shook his hand. "If you two have some unfinished business, I can go clean the school house." She briefly turned her eyes away from the Captain's biceps and glanced at Rylla. "Alternatively, I could get dinner cooking, which was my original intention."

Rylla said rather cruelly, "I've been explaining to the Captain that he'll have to ride back to his barracks as soon as the rain stops. We only took off our shirts because we also got caught in the rain."

Elizabeth shook her head and looked more closely at the bulge in the Captains pants that announced the presence of his swollen penis. "From the looks of it, it might rain all night. Maybe we should keep him here with us. It looks like he does have some unfinished business in his pants, or is that a codpiece?"

Reality Change

Rylla laughed, but now seeing Liza's easy playful banter with the Captain, she felt a surge of jealousy. She took the condom off of her finger and the cottage seemed to become strangely silent while she slipped into a kind of trance. Liza walked past her, went to the stove and began preparations for dinner. Over-laid with the normal Reality of the cottage was a strange virtual Reality scene that danced in Rylla's mind. She heard Manny's voice, or maybe it was the bumpha's thoughts in her mind: I don't want you getting involved with the Captain. Leave the Captain and his penis to your other copy. I'm trying to get her off to Western Australia as quickly as possible, but you will stay here in the East...

______

In the alternate Reality, inside Rylla's mind, Elizabeth never made it to the cooking stove. Instead, Elizabeth reached out and stroked the bulge in Doone's pants. "You poor dear, that looks painful!"

"At Sophie's request, I'm trying to behave myself." Doones said, "However, I love the way you ladies both are not too shy to kindly stroke my penis."

Elizabeth was delighted by the way the Captain's penis responded to her touch by twitching and straining against his pants. She looked at Rylla and spoke to the Captain, "Sophie is a bit bashful, but she should know better than to start something and not finish..." She looked up into the Captain's eyes and said, "Unlike Sophie, I'd like to do more than just feel your penis... still, I don't want you to think I'm getting above my station."

The Captain said magnanimously, "Sophie already told me about your skills and I'm eager to experience your... dusting... and other talents."

With her heart pounding in her chest, Elizabeth managed to resist her impulses. She jerked her hand back from the Captain's pants and asked Rylla, "You don't mind if I help the Captain with his little problem?" Rylla shook her head and smiled. Elizabeth again patted his stiff penis playfully. "It would be terribly mean to leave a man in this condition."

Rylla sat down in a chair and said. "I don't mind if you provide the good Captain with some relief, as long as I can watch. I might learn something."

Elizabeth said, "Oh goodie! This should be fun...." She gave her full attention to the Captain, first gently kissing his abdomen then she placed a kiss on his pants where the cloth was pushed out by his erection. Liza began stroking his penis with both of her hands and raking her nails along the length of the stiff shaft, which tickled him through the fabric of his pants.

With Liza continuing to rub his penis and feeling himself close to ejaculating, Doones finally opened his pants and let his penis tumble out. Elizabeth said, "Oh, how very nice! But turn this way so that Sophie can see." She took his penis in her hands and made sure that Sophie had a good view. Liza spoke earnestly to Sophie and said, "Thank you for allowing me to assist the Captain. We never want to see our soldiers trapped in a tight and frustrating situation. Rylla, have you ever seen a prettier penis?" She took the tip of his penis in her mouth and massaged the shaft with her hands. After just a few seconds of her oral stimulation, Doones ejaculated.

Elizabeth swallowed twice, wiped her chin, licked her lips and commented, "Sorry to have cut in front of you in line, Sophie, but I could not restrain myself. Based on what I've seen, and tasted, he seems to function perfectly. Look how stiff he is!" She continued to gently massage the shaft of his penis. "I do believe the Captain's hot penis is not going to droop any time soon. If you want your turn to play, Sophi, I've got him all warmed up now. And his semen is sweeter than honey." She kissed the tip of he penis and then licked her lips.

Seeing the Captain's boyish enjoyment of Liza's sexplay, Rylla had decided that Doones was a real man and not Manny in disguise. Now feeling quite sexually aroused herself, Rylla got out of her chair and took hold of Doones' erection. "Now you've done it, Liza... watching you pleasure the Captain has my vagina all wet and quivering. How can I pass up this opportunity to play with the good Captain?" Still holding his penis, Rylla led Doones into the bedroom. "Sir, you owe us both an orgasm, but take your time, soldier. We have all night."

When Rylla released his penis, Doones turned and sat on the end of the bed and watched while Rylla and Elizabeth quickly shed their clothing. By the time he had his boots off, the two women were on the bed, making love. While enjoying the sight of their svelte bodies at play, Doones casually stroked his own penis. Soon he was approaching a second climax and then when Rylla got on her knees and bent over, licking Elizabeth's clitoris, he grabbed her hips and entered her vagina from behind. With Doones forcefully trusting his erect penis deeper and deeper into Rylla, the three of them almost achieved simultaneous orgasms. After he finished ejaculating into Rylla's hot vagina, the Captain laid down in the middle of the bed. 

The two girls, one on either side, snuggled up to the Captain and continued playing with his genitals while they each offered commentary on how much they appreciated his strong body and his pretty sensitive parts. As they lay there together in the bed, Doones occasionally quoted a line of poetry or complimented one of the girls on the delicacy of her caresses. Eventually, the storm passed by the cottage and a few last rays of sunlight suddenly brightened the bedroom. The two women continued playing with his erection which seemed like it would never fade. Impressed by his erectile stamina, Rylla was again wondering if this was Manny, with her artificial body configured as a male. Having rested herself, Elizabeth now climbed on top of Doones and took his penis inside her hot pink vagina. Doones was thoroughly enjoying himself and now allowed Elizabeth to do all the work of generating sweet friction between their genitals. "I salute you, ladies... playing with the two of you is much nicer than riding back to the dreary barracks on muddy roads."

When Liza started bouncing enthusiastically up and down, sliding the full length of his erection in and out of her vagina, Rylla was bumped off the edge of the bed. She regained her balance and then while watching Elizabeth ride the Captains stiff penis, Rylla noticed that the glans of her clitoris was very stiff and the tip protruding from her wet vulva. Rylla got back on the bed and squatted over the Captain's face and pressed her glans to his lips. "Good sir, allow me to ride your tongue for a few miles." He put out his tongue and let her slide her stiff clitoris over it. Remembering how John could wildly vibrate his tongue, she was a bit disappointed that the Captains tongue was mere flesh, but Rylla still achieved another satisfying orgasm just as Elizabeth cried out, "Yes! I feel your hot semen splashing inside me!" Elizabeth did not want to pull herself off of his hard penis, but eventually it deflated and popped out of her tight vagina. They snuggled together and soon Liza and the Captain were blissfully asleep. Rylla lay there enjoying a warm tingling feeling from Sophie's body and wondering what the Captain would say and do in the light of day.

In the morning, Rylla slipped out of the bed and found Doones' condom where they had left it on the kitchen table. Doones and Liza were still in bed, asleep when Rylla tucked the condom back into the Captain's pants pocket. While placing his pants over the back of a chair, suddenly Rylla experienced a vision of what seemed to be a future day. In that vision she was with her young child. On her first mission in Australia, Rylla had raised another child who was eventually lost to scarlet fever. While marveling at her vision of the future, Rylla became dizzy and her view of the world dimmed.

________

Rylla blinked, and she was back in the real world, but she still had memories of that other Reality in which she and Liza had taken Captain Doones to bed. Here, in this Reality, Doones helped chop vegetables and soon a dinner stew was cooking on the stove. With the continuing downpour, the temperature was now much cooler and Rylla had pulled on a wool sweater. Rylla and the Captain finally paused in their witty game of quoting dead poets. In a moment of quiet, Liza looked back and forth between Rylla and the Captain and then said to her, "I don't understand you Sophie. I find you here alone with this gentleman, who seems quite enthralled with your charms, yet you seem to be rebuffing his gallantries. If I were you, I'd do more than spout poetry. Am I missing something?"

Rylla massaged her forehead and tried to make sense of her strange vision and the message she had received from Manny. Rylla suspected that she had been allowed to remember part of another timeline, then Manny had shifted them here, to a new timeline where Rylla never got a chance to play with the Captain's penis. She took seriously the idea that it might not be wise to become sexually entangled with the Captain. "Maybe the Captain is simply too much of a gentleman. Knowing that you were soon to arrive, he politely waited for you, doing nothing more than quote old poetry to me while I flaunted my breasts in front of him."

"I foresee a sad fate for the dear Captain." Elizabeth sighed. "Sadly, in this world, too many good men are wasted on frail little women who don't even know how to have an orgasm."

The Captain laughed. "There is something to what you say, Liza. Sadly, some English ladies are rather frigid. Still, icy or hot, each woman is a goddess. As a goddess, Sophie is allowed to make her own choices and we should not question her decisions." He looked carefully at Rylla for a long time before saying, "I sense that Sophie does not want to explain herself to us, although I believe she has an interesting story that she could tell..."

Elizabeth took hold of Rylla's hand and told the Captain. "Sophie and I are lovers. I don't mind if the whole world knows that."

Doones nodded. "Yes, Sophie told me that before you arrived. I can accept that you two don't want me interfering with your loving relationship. I'm happy for the two of you and happy to be your friend. You two are so much fun... I hope we can have many happy times together in the future. I know how to take 'no' for an answer from pretty girls, particularly when they kindly allow me to be their friend."

Elizabeth told Doones, "I love Sophie, but I've never promised not to love other people, too. I would not mind being more than just your friend."

Rylla added, "We are both free to find other lovers, but neither of us hopes to be used by a man who just want's to grab a quick orgasm from a casual conquest."

Elizabeth told Rylla, "Hey, speak for yourself, Sophie. The Captain is beautiful. I'd be very happy to let him turn me into his latest conquest."

Doones said, "Right now, my mind is split between fascination with you two pretty girls and the savory aromas of dinner. Let's eat and Sophie can quote some more old poetry for us and then I'll go back to the dreary barracks. If either of you would like to see me again after tonight, let me know. I would not say no to a second date with either of you."

Later, after the meal was consumed and Doones had helped clean the dishes and pots, they went out into the night. The air was fresh and the wind was still blustery. As the Captain rode off into the night and before Elizabeth went to clean the school, she stepped close and asked Rylla, "Do you really prefer me to that big, handsome soldier?"

The sky was clearing and Rylla looked up at some stars where they peeked between the clouds. Rylla hugged Liza and explained, "Doones surprised me today. He's an educated man and I sensed that I could trust him not to ravish me. I teased him rather cruelly and bounced my breasts provocatively, but I think he enjoyed it all. He knows that I find him attractive. Our paths in life may have crossed, but I have no interest in being the toy or the wife of a soldier.... even one who graduated from Cambridge."

Elizabeth said, "I don't know what you are talking about Sophie. You never used to talk like this. There was a day when you used to swoon when a tall soldier went past. I suspect that Doones must have done something to offend you today."

"Not true... he acted the perfect gentleman. I'm simply not going to fall for him. However, if you are interested in him, then by all means, invite him on a date." The two women kissed and then Elizabeth went off to do her work and Rylla returned to the cottage. 

Manny was there, seated at the kitchen table. She told Rylla, "Sorry to spoil your fun with the Captain, but sometimes I have to interfere in the lives of my agents on Earth."

Rylla sat down and tried to make sense of the day's events. "What was it it you told me about only applying 'a few delicate touches'?"

Manny and Rylla had different ideas about the meaning of "delicate". Manny explained, "I want this to be a learning opportunity for you, Rylla. I allowed you to experience an alternate fork in time and I'm allowing you to remember that alternate Reality, even-though it has been erased."

"What am I supposed to have learned?"

Manny shrugged. "Humans learn by doing. In this situation, I'm actually constrained and can't tell you the relevance of today's events for your future. In time, you'll figure it out. The reason I'm here is to warn you about another matter. I've already told you about the three copies of Elizabeth. You need to know that I've also made another copy of you."

"What?" Rylla tried to imagine why Manny needed a second Rylla. Her imagination failed and she asked, "What are you up to? Are trying to tell me something about that other timeline, the one in my vision? Is it also real? You have another copy of me who does get to have sex with Captain Doones? I'm in telepathic contact with this alternate me?"

"Slow down, girl." Manny reached out and took hold of Rylla's hand. "No, that's not the way this works. That other Reality was your Reality, before I replaced it with a better one. However, since I was going to erase that Reality anyhow, I stepped into it and so I got to have sex with you... I was there during those rainstorm sexcapades, disguised in the body of the good Captain. However, here in this Reality, there is another copy of you."

"Where is she... me... and doing what?"

"I can't tell you that. Maybe you will guess, but probably not. In any case, I won't tell you. What I can tell you is to be prepared. Don't be caught by surprise. One day the two of you will meet and the other copy of you will... well, let's just say... you will see in her mind what she had been doing."

As if it were a dream, Rylla could remember the other, erased Reality and she thought about the exhilarating feeling of when the Captain had taken hold of her hips and thrust his hot erection into her vagina. She asked Manny, "That was you making love to me?"

"Yes. Why should I let the Captain have all the fun, particularly since he could not have remembered anything that happened in that aborted Reality? I'm glad that I have that sweet memory. Sometimes I like the fun of wielding a hot penis and ravishing a pretty girl."

"Well, I suppose I should thank you for allowing me to remember that wonderful orgasm that we shared with Liza. However, now I'm nervously wondering when the other copy of me is going to show up. And what should I do when she does? Oh, and another thing... I had what seemed like a vision of the future."

Manny nodded. "Yes, you have some sensitivity to information flow from the future. I allowed you to remember that little piece of the future from the alternate Reality. All of that alternative Reality, including your child in it, has all been erased, but think of that pregnancy as a warning."

Rylla asked, "Can I really become pregnant with this artificial body?"

"Yes. You will be able to gestate children with your femtobot body."

"Do you mean... are you telling me that this body... makes egg cells?"

Manny stood up, walked around the table and kissed Rylla passionately on the lips. "Why shouldn't your artificial body make eggs? I need you to make another one of my agents. In the future, your child (a real human, not a replicoid) will have an important job to do, just like you do. Goodbye for now, my love." Manny teleported away and Rylla was left to ponder the future. 

She wondered: in that alternate Reality, had she been impregnated by Captain Doones? And who might have that honor in this Reality? She thought about John's penis and tried to count the number of times he had ejaculated into her vagina. Maybe I am pregnant already? If her replicoid body made eggs, then why shouldn't John's artificial body make sperm cells? 

Later, Liza returned to Sophie's cottage after cleaning the school and pulled the ruminating Rylla into bed for a few hours of shared play time. While happily making love to Liza, Rylla stopped thinking about the future... for a short time.

Later, with Liza sleeping peacefully, Rylla could not stop thinking about all of the questions she had for Manny, but had failed to ask during the bumpha's brief visit to the cottage. Rylla was struggling to imagine how the future would unfold. She went to the kitchen and brewed some tea. Stimulants worked on her artificial body and now, with the help of the tea, Rylla tried to imagine the future and how best to expand the pathetic educational institutions of New South Wales.

Rylla found herself thinking obsessively about Abigail Longfellow. Rylla feared for the girl's life and suspected that she would die young. Rylla asked herself: How could I have failed to know of her existence during my previous mission? A young writer in the colony would not have escaped Rylla's attention. Rylla thought about Abigail's cute freckles and the way the girl had boldly offered to take Rylla to bed. Rylla fantasized about kissing Abigail's little nose and other more sensitive parts of her body. 

Abigail's alien eyes

Rylla pondered Abigail's incredibly blue eyes which seemed alien and how the girl had spoken knowingly about time travel. Rylla wondered: Is Abigail another manifestation of Manny?

Rylla thought about Manny and the way that the bumpha seemed intent on keeping Rylla's thoughts centered on sexplay. She thought about John and how he had survived for 6,000 years on Earth. During long days on the trail, John and Rylla had been able to entertain each-other by making use of their telepathic connection. Rylla thought about the man who had fathered her child during the time of her first mission on Earth. Now having spent time with John, could Rylla ever be content through long years living with an actual human husband?

Rylla was quite pleased with her artificial body and the little tricks she could perform with her nanites. Looking at the bottom of her tea cup, Rylla simply imagined the cup being full and her nanites immediately brought hot tea from the stove and soon the cup was full again. Rylla thought about how Manny could use her nanites to manipulate and edit people's memories. I wonder if I also have that ability? Rylla thought about Liza and began imagining an experiment. 

credits

Finally settling on an appropriate test, Rylla went and stood beside the bed, gazing upon the sleeping girl. Rylla imagined that Liza must constantly be wondering about the ways Sophie's behavior had recently changed. Rylla tried to make Liza think about John and his artificial penis. Rylla telepathically instructed Liza: When you awaken, speak freely of John and the Captain and which of them you might like to make love to. Feeling silly, Rylla giggled and retreated to the kitchen.

However, when Elizabeth came into the kitchen after waking, she immediately told Rylla, "I had a nice sex dream about the Captain. How is it that I never saw him around town before yesterday?"

"He only arrived in Sydney a few weeks ago and has been out inspecting the Western Highway. He is expected to build a new bridge across the Nepean river."

Elizabeth kissed Rylla and then asked, "You really would not mind if I pursued Captain Doones? After seeing that nice bulge in his pants, I'd like to get a good look at his penis and see it in action. And feel it inside me. And I'd-."

Rylla laughed and said, "I get the picture, but I thought you prefer making love to women."

Elizabeth shrugged. "I'm not sure what came over me. In my dream, I had the most remarkable sleep orgasm while feeling the Captain's hard penis inside me." She reached down and felt her wet crotch. "It seemed so real... and in the dream you were there in bed with us, rubbing your genitals on his tongue."

Rylla suspected that she had been able to use her nanites to transfer some of her own memories over to Elizabeth... memories from the Reality that Manny had erased. If so, then I'll have to try another experiment in mind control using my nanites.
