Author's notes:

About the language and notation:

The Baylon language is a predecessor to Latin, which is why it looks like Latin at a glance.

Mental communication is denoted by a < and ends with a >, so a mental communication will look like this: "< Who are you? >"

Some warnings:

This is erotic action adventure, meaning that there will be both sex and violence, but I don't mix the two.

Chapter 21 -- Beach Volley

Tuesday, 20th of June 2000, Outside Malaga, Spain

Despite the dream, I woke up feeling well rested.

Alice was still sleeping next to me, but the twins had apparently woken up even earlier and sneaked out, because we were the only ones in the bed.

Looking at the sleeping beauty next to me in the bed, I felt tempted to start some morning sex, but restrained myself. She needed sleep more than sex and I left the bed as carefully as possible, walked into the enormous master bathroom to clean myself and then to the kitchen.

Karen and Rita were already there, sitting by the table and eating breakfast, while reading on their laptops, but when I came in, Karen sent me a wide smile, followed by a "Good morning, Lover Boy. Slept well?"

I couldn't help smiling back, as I walked over to the kettle. "Good morning, Peach. Good morning, Angel... and both yes and no."

That caused them both to look up and while the tea was brewing, I told them about fixing Cyra and Zena's growing pains.

Karen smiled. "It's so cool you can help them."

Rita nodded in agreement. "I remember having growing pains myself... It really hurt a lot."

I walked over to the table with my tea and sat down beside Karen. "How good are you at acupuncture?"

She hesitated as she thought it over. "I honestly don't know. I mean... I grew up with it, but the only ones I can compare myself to are my family and they're outstanding." She tilted her head. "Why do you ask?"

"Because with the knowledge you have, you might be able to help the twins when you get home."

Her face lit up in a smile. "Really? That would be fantastic... but how?"

I searched for the modern word but didn't find it. "You can force the energy lines back to the right place, by applying pressure at the right points along the lines."

"Acupressure." Said the Asian with a nod. "I've done that."

"Good. Then I'll teach you how to do it later."

"Awesome!" She said with a grin and gave me kiss. As always, she tasted great and felt nice.

"My turn!" said Rita as soon as the kiss was over and with a smile, Karen sneaked a hand behind Rita's neck and dragged her in for a soft, tender kiss.

It was clearly a moment of affection and tenderness and I enjoyed the sight of two beautiful women kissing, while I silently drank my tea.

"Wow." Said Rita softly as their lips parted. "That was some kiss, girl."

"Likewise." Karen smiled and turned towards her breakfast again.

Since they could now speak again, I asked, "When does the beach volleyball start?"

"At nine." Answered Karen and looked at her computer screen before continuing. "But it's only half past seven now, so we got plenty of time."

"Good." I took an apple from the bowl on the table and took a bite. "Oh, by the way, where're the twins?"

"Upstairs, reading the Harry Potter nooks you bought them." Answered Rita. "They've already eaten breakfast, done their exercise and are ready to go see some beach volleyball."

"How good are you? At volleyball, I mean."

Rita sent me another smile. "Better than most, not as good as some of the players from the university here. At least not at beach volley. We normally play indoor volleyball and not beach volley."

I was sorely tempted to ask what the difference was, but didn't, since it sounded like everybody knew the difference between the two. Except me of course.

Karen nodded to what Rita had said and added, "We usually end in the upper half, but its lots of fun and good training."

"Sounds good." I remarked and drank the rest of my tea before I stood up. "I better go take a bath, before we leave."

When I reached the downstairs bathroom, it sounded like the shower was on.

With the twins being upstairs, and Karen and Rita in the kitchen, it could only be Alice, so I opened the door as silently as possible and walked inside.

It was her all right and through the frosted glass of the shower door, I could make out the shape of her body as she leaned back to wet her hair.

Smiling I undressed, slid the door of the shower open and stepped inside, enjoying the sight of her long trim body and delicious curves.

She heard the door slide open and opened her eyes with a smile. "Good morning, Sexy... and thanks for letting me sleep. I feel a lot better now."

I smiled back, said "Good morning yourself." and took the shampoo from the shelves.

As Alice watched in silence, I lathered up my hands.

She got the hint and switched off the water.

Then I began soaping her up slowly, starting with her neck, moving my way down her chest to her breasts. I took my time, continuing to lather them long after it was necessary. Then I continued down her body all the way to her feet, before going back up.

Alice moaned softly gave me a hug as she kissed me again.

Then she started to slide her body against mine in slow sensual moves, effective lathering me up, while using her body as a sponge. It was heaven.

With a gentle touch, she turned me around and then did the same with my backside, but now her hands caressed my chest, stomach, continuing down to my pelvis, before finally wrapping her soapy fingers around my hard cock, giving it a few strokes as she whispered. "Is that for me?"

"Oh yeah." I answered.

"Then I better make sure it's completely clean." She ran her fingers against the head of my cock, sending shivers down my spine.

Leaning back against her, I could feel her soft breasts against my back as she continued to stroke and tease me for a while, until she whispered. "I could tease you all day, but we don't have a lot of time. "

I turned around and kissed her. First tenderly, but it soon grew heated. She continued to stroke me and slide the palm of her hand over the head of my cock in a wonderful slippery motion.

My right hand worked its way down the front of her body, until I reached the strip of hair above her pussy.

Alice shivered and spread her legs, giving me room to play. She moaned as my fingers drew circles around her clitoris. Her grip on my cock tightened, and she began stroking me harder. We kissed again, this time harder, with more urgency, until she suddenly stopped.

"Wait!" She grimaced. "Too much soap."

Reaching behind, she started the water again and went back to kissing as the water rinsed the soap of our bodies. Then she let go of me and reached over my shoulder, retrieving the showerhead, before she dropped to her knees.

Holding my cock gently on her palm, she took her time rinsing me off. When she was sure all the soap was gone, she looked up into my eyes, winked and took me into her mouth. A groan escaped my lips, as I leaned back against the shower wall, feeling her talented mouth doing its magic.

I could have enjoyed it all day, but she stopped and handed me the showerhead with a smile as she stood up.

Pushing her against the wall, I rinsed her off, being careful to remove all the soap. She almost jumped when the spray reached her pussy. Smiling to myself, I first made sure that all soap was gone by using my fingers and then separated the pussy lips, so the spray could hit the fold over the clitoris directly.

"Oh fuck." She mumbled and leaned her head against the wall as she spread her legs a little further apart. Carefully I altered the spray by moving the showerhead slightly from side to side and it didn't take long before her legs were shaking as her groans increased.

When I thought she couldn't take much more, I removed the showerhead, slip to my knees and replaced the water with my tongue. Her hands found the back of my head and pressed my face into her, as my tongue found the head of the clitoris and flicked against it.

"Oh shit." She mumbled, and I could hear that she had trouble keeping herself from groaning loudly. A moment later, I made it even harder as I inserted two fingers in her wet pussy, sliding right over the pleasure spot inside her.

Her hips grinded against my mouth and her moans were becoming just a little bit louder.

My fingers began to massage her inside pleasure spot and timing it with the way I used my tongue, I went faster and faster.

The grinding of her hips became wilder and then she began to shudder and shake as her pussy contracted around my fingers. There was a slap as her hand hit her mouth to cover a yell as she came. I used my other hand to support her, so she didn't fall on the slick floor.

"Fuck, that... was... good."

I removed my fingers, stood up to kiss her and got an embrace in return, as she rested her head on my shoulder. Her breathing slowly returned to normal as I gently caressed her.

Then she lifted her head and kissed me again, but at the same time, she reached down between us, took a hold on my cock and guided it between her legs.

I got the hint, bended my knees a bit and slid into her wonderful, wet pussy in on stroke.

"Shit!" Alice groaned against my shoulder as I filled her. "I love your cock."

"And I love sharing pleasure with you." I whispered into her ear and slowly moved in and out of her. She moaned and lifted a leg to give easier access, before she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me with passion, as the muscles in her pussy squeezed me every time I started to pull back.

I used a hand to support myself against the wall, gripped her wonderful butt with the other and started to move faster and harder.

She started to shiver again and whispered. "I'm coming."

"Good." I answered with a smile and thrust harder.

Her eyes went wide, and she pressed her face against my chest, as she came with a low howl.

Instead of stopping, I leaned my head against the wall and reached down to grip her butt with the other hand as well.

She was still coming when I heaved her up and leaned her against the wall. Instinctively she wrapped her long leg around my waist and then yelped when the changed angle enabled me to go so deep in her, that my balls slapped against her.

"Love... it... when... you... do... that! So... fucking... good!" She moaned and rested her head against the wall, enjoying each stroke, until she came with a loud squeal through gritted teeth.

I didn't stop, but fucked her faster, loving every moment of it. The sight of her coming, the smell of her wet pussy and the feeling of both her skin and being balls deep in her.

"One more, my Golden Goddess." I told and kissed her soft lips.

She kissed back with a groan and then her legs clamped hard around me as she came again with a moan. Slowly, I decreased the pace until I stood still, kissing her, while her pussy gentle massaged my cock with its contractions and Vis flowed into me, washing my tiredness away.

Carefully Alice placed her shaking legs on the floor again, but she didn't let go of me right away.

Finally, she sighed. "We're out of time."

"I know." I said with a chuckle and picked up the showerhead, so that I could rinse the sweat of her body. "You need to go get ready, but thanks for the nice morning surprise."

Alice laughed her soft laughter. "Trust me... the pleasure was all mine."

------------

Two hours later, I was sitting on the beach in Malaga, along with many other people, watching Rita and Alice play volleyball in the sand. By listing to the women talk, I had gotten the impression that there at least six players on a volleyball team, but evidently Beach Volleyball was different, because each team consisted only of two players.

Rita and Alice were one team, while Karen had teamed up with a young Spanish woman named Nahia Ibarra, who had spent a year on Karen's high school in America, before going back to Spain to attend university in Malaga.

I had expected to be assigned the job of keeping an eye on Zena and Cyra, but that wasn't needed, since the Twins stayed in a secluded area that was 'female players only', giving me the opportunity to watch the games, which I did.

It was a lot of fun to watch, and it showed a side of the women, that I haven't seen before.

Normally they were quite relaxed, but on the playing field, they were full of energy, smiling widely and cheering each time they scored a point. A moment later, there was total concentration and focus, as they prepared for the next ball to be played. They clearly had a very good time.

Even to my untrained eyes, they were extremely good at Volleyball and I quickly discovered why they had such great bodies. Since the game involved a lot of crouching down to get the ball, explosive jumps and lateral movements, there was a lot of work for the leg and butt muscles, making them toned and firm. The rest of the body benefitted from the need to quickly stretch to block or hit and was almost as toned as the rest, without being overly muscular.

I smiled to myself, as I realized that the players had the same challenge as most martial artists and sword fighters like me: You needed to be strong and powerful, without sacrificing speed and agility, because loosing that would hamper your ability to move quickly. The fast pace and rapid changes in direction also required a great deal of flexibility in the body and since a game lasted around an hour, the players needed a lot of endurance, perhaps even more so than in a martial artist.

All that explained why the players were in excellent shape and as the game was played in the 'beach uniform' of shorts for the men and bikinis for the women, it was no wonder that the tournament had drawn a large crowd of spectators.

Some had come to watch Volleyball, but I was sure that at least some of the spectators were here to look at the players and not the game itself.

Not that I could blame them since I enjoyed looking at them as well. It also reminded me how much healthier and better-looking people of this age were. Sure, there had been stunningly beautiful women in the past, but the appearance of the average women had certainly improved over the centuries.

I watched the games and the women for some hours, before there was a break were none of the three women was playing. Since they didn't leave the player area, that gave me some time with not much to do, and I had just decided to go for a walk when the Twins came running over to me.

Both looked somewhat serious as Zena handed me a note from Karen, stating that her volleyball partner had hurt her back and asked if I would look at it.

With a grin, I shook my head and took my bag from the bench before I turned towards the Twins. "Okay... Show the way." I said to the waiting girls and followed as they bounced towards the player's tent.

The tent was bigger than any other tent I had ever seen and once inside, the twins practically dragged me over to Karen. The Asian was standing in a small room, having a conversation in rapid Spanish with a black-haired woman, who were laying on her stomach on a tall sofa that reminded me of the type used for massage in ancient time.

I recognized her as Nahia Ibarra, Karen's Volleyball partner and she had clearly been hurt, since there were some ice bags on her lower back. She was also still dressed in the bikini they used when playing, so I had no trouble determine that Nahia Ibarra's body was every bit as well trained as Karen's and she had a spectacular butt.

As soon as Karen saw me, she lit up in a smile and nodded in my direction, causing Nahia to turn her head and look at me as well.

Karen quickly introduced me and then said, "Ivan, we really, really need your help. Nahia hurt her back and can barely move."

"It's not that bad." Protested the Spanish girl in accented English, before I had the chance to answer. "The ice just needs some time to work."

Karen snorted and turned towards me. "While she was in California, she damaged her back and couldn't play for months... Can you check her and see what is wrong?"

Nahia rolled her eyes. "I told you... It's just a pinched nerve!"

"That's possible, but we have a game in an hour and if your pinched nerve doesn't get treated, we'll have to cancel!" Karen shot back. "Now can we get on with this?"

"Fine!"

While they were debating, I placed my bag next to the sofa. Cyra reached out and touched my arm as she sent. "< Can we help? >"

"< Sure >"

Karen fastened her lovely, slanted eyes on me and smiled. "Please Ivan?"

"Let it never be said that I refused to help two lovely ladies in need." I said as I smiled back and then turned towards Nahia. "I'll have to examine your back."

She nodded. "Just be careful."

As gently as possible, I removed the bags of ice from her back and examined the area. It didn't take long to determine that Nahia had been correct: It was indeed a pinched nerve.

However, unless something was done, it wasn't something that went away in an hour and the ice could only lessen the pain, not heal the nerve.

Glancing over at Cyra, I asked her to get my needles and the disinfecting liquid from my bag.

She nodded eagerly and opened the bag as Karen asked. "Seriously? You brought your acupuncture needles!?"

I chuckled. "Well... as competitive as you all are when it comes to sports, I guessed I would need them at some point today."

"Oh... Hot and smart." Mumbled Nahia in Spanish, making Karen look at her and nod with a grin.

I had gone back to examining her, but besides some overuse of the muscles, she was in excellent condition. "An hour you said?"

"More like forty-five minutes now." Said Karen. "Can it be done?"

"Well, I need to remove the pain, fix the nerve and then massage the area to remove the stiffness in the muscles, so yes, it's possible, if barely so."

"Yes!" Karen exclaimed and gave me a hug, followed by a kiss. "Thank you!"

The feel of her bikini-clad body made me shiver, but I broke the contact before it had an effect and winked at her. "Now, give me room to work, please."

Smiling, she took a step backwards. "Go ahead."

Assisted by Zena and Cyra, I inserted the needles and activated them, blocking the pain, before I used a combination of Ars Mentalis and physical manipulation to gently coach the pinched nerve back to its rightful place.

I also took a close look at the energy lines in her body and discovered that they had been affected by the old accident Karen had mentioned, creating a 'dam' that not only directed energy around her lower body and directly into her legs, but also kept some energy stored behind it.

While that might sound as a good thing for an athlete, it wasn't. Vis is meant to flow unhindered through the body and when it doesn't, the body doesn't function properly, and people tended to get irritated without knowing why, which led to frustration.

"I'm going to remove the needles now." I informed Nahia. "But I'm not done yet, so please don't move."

She didn't answer and when I looked closer at her, I discovered that she had fallen asleep.

Karen had discovered it as well and laughed softly. "Well, she did say that she hasn't sleep well lately. I guess the sleepless period is over now."

Nodding, I removed the needles and handed them to Zena and Cyra, who disinfected them and carefully placed them back in the casing, without being asked.

Then I poured some oil on Nahia's back and started to massage her. Gently at first, but as the muscles warmed up, I added more pressure and my fingers started to dig into the energy lines, leading to and from the 'dam'.

A moan escaped Nahia, causing Karen to look at me with a smile. "Well, it seems to work. At least she's awake now."

"Yes. How much time do we have left?"

She glanced at her watch. "Damn, only 10 minutes!"

I nodded. Just enough time. I looked at the Twins. "Girls, could you run out and see how far the current match is?"

Both girls nodded and ran out.

"Sorry about this." I said as soon as they were out of hearing range. "But I need to set your energy lines in your back straight and this is the fastest way to do that."

Karen looked at me as if to ask a question, but at the same time, Nahia moaned and shivered under my hands as I hit another pressure point. The Asian laughed softly as she understood what I meant and said "Fángzhōng Zhī Shù again?"

"Yeah... sorry."

Nahia gave a satisfied sigh. "Why do you keep saying you're sorry? This is awesome!"

"Yes, but it has a certain effect." stated Karen and leaned down to whispered something to Nahia.

Whatever it was, it caused the Spanish girl to laugh softly and look at me. "Give it your best shot, Ivan."

"Unbeliever!" snorted Karen and smiled knowingly. "I'll go intercept the twins, but I'll be back."

She walked out and I discovered that despite having my hands on a well-trained and well-formed woman, I couldn't help looking at Karen's butt as she walked away.

Nahia mumbled something in Spanish that I didn't get, but then moaned again as my hands continued their work.

It only took a short time before Karen returned, but by then Nahia was almost constantly moaning.

The Asian sat down in front of Nahia and gently took her hands. "Nahia, turn down the volume a bit. From the outside, it sounds like the two of you are having sex."

"Not... easy." The Spanish woman groaned. "It feels like... the greatest... foreplay... ever."

"Yeah, I know." Said Karen with a smile. "Just keep quiet." Her lovely, slanted eye looked up at me. "How much longer, Ivan?"

"Now."

I found the pleasure nerve center in the neck, pressed down and released the Vis. As when I had used it on Alice, Karen and Rita, the effect was spectacular. Nahia started to shiver as the wave travelled down her body and goose bumps formed on her skin.

Gripping Karen's hands hard enough to make her knuckles white, she burrowed her head in the towel to dampen her moans.

It did help, but a moment later, I had found the pleasure center on her lower back, released more Vis and started another wave.

Unlike the first, this wave could and did extend in both directions and Nahia mumbled. "Oh Fuck!" as the wave slowly travelled over her firm butt and down between legs, feeling like a dozen tongues licking her at the same time.

"Bite down!" I advised her in a whisper, and she did it just in time. The two waves met exactly where the 'dam' was and at the same time, I twisted her hips towards me, while holding her torso down.

The energy lines snapped into their right lanes, causing the dam to dissolve under the pressure of both waves. Nahia buckled under my hands as the energy flowed quickly and her skin heated up. Then all the muscles in her body tensed as she exploded in an almost silent orgasm.

I closed my eyes and allowed my body to absorb the Vis her orgasm had generated before I focused on the flow of Vis in her body, making sure that everything was as it should be.

While it wasn't perfect, it was as close as it could come right now, so I removed my senses from her body and opened my eyes again.

"Impressive as always." Said Karen and looked at me with a smile. "All done?"

"Yes." I answered as I stepped away from the sofa. "The back should be fine now."

Nahia turned her head to look at me with a wide smile. "That was awesome!" Glancing over at Karen, she added. "I'm a believer now... though I still don't understand how that can be done by only touching the back."

Karen laughed. "You and many others! Can you stand up?"

Nahia carefully tested her back by moving her hips from side to side, creating an enticing sight, before she swung her bikini-clad body over the edge of the sofa and stood up. "Yeah... My back a bit sore, but not more than I can play."

At the same time, Zena and Cyra came running into the tent, eagerly signalling the two bikini-clad women to come.

"Game time." Said Karen with a smile and gave me a quick hug. "Thanks Ivan."

As soon as she let go, Nahia stepped in and gave me a hug as well. Her body was still hot from the orgasm, and I could feel the lust emanating from her, sending small waves of desire through me and giving me a hard on. Feeling it, she hugged just a little bit harder and then stepped back.

"Thanks a lot." She said with a wink.

"You're welcome. Now go out and win."

She nodded and left the tent along with Karen.

Needing some air to cool me down, I said goodbye to the twins, took my bag and went for a walk.

------------------

Compared the beach, the streets were cooler, and I enjoyed the smell of fruits coming from the many small stands along the road.

One of them caught my eyes, mostly because I recognized the tenganuts that was stacked in front of it. It didn't take me long to find out that they were now called coconuts, but by then I had discovered that the stall had both dates and pine nuts.

That gave me a sudden craving for stuffed dates, so I bought both pine nuts and dates and went searching for the rest of the ingredients in the marked where Alice had shopped a few days before.

That turned out to be a great idea because the place had just about everything. In fact, it reminded me of one of the ancient marketplaces and I enjoyed walking around, looking at the wares, while reading their names and connecting them to the mental images in my head.

It was highly needed, since the fruit and berries had been cultivated a lot over the last two thousand years and few of them looked like the ones I knew from the past. Added to that, there were lots of fruits and berries that was totally new to me.

Going from stall to stall, I bought a few of each fruit, smelling and tasting them as I walked through the marked. Since I was going to make stuffed dates anyway, I decided that I might as well make dinner for all of us, so on my way I also brought some meat, melons, honey, grape juice, parsley and vinegar.

The fish sauce took a bit longer to locate, since I didn't know what it was called now, but I did manage to get some, after asking for it in a shop. I even managed to get some leather strips, so I could replace the ones time had rotten away on my scabbards.

Then I walked back to the beach and watched the rest of the games.

--------------------

When we came home, the women found the hammocks and lay down to relax, but it didn't take long before they were sound asleep. They looked so cute I considered doing some sketches, but then remembered Rita's camera, which would do the job a lot faster, giving me time to prepare the food. Finding the camera wasn't a problem, but there had to be a secret to it I didn't know, because when I tried to take a picture, the camera wouldn't start.

"Techno-magic." I mumbled to myself and reached out with my mind to the Twins. "< Girls, I need your help, because I'm an idiot with technology. Can you start a camera? >"

There was a disbelieving silence and then Cyra answered with a mental laugh. "< Yeah. Press the 'on' button. >

"< I already did. Nothing happens >"

Zena giggled in my head "< We'll be right there >"

As it turned out, the camera had run out of battery, so Cyra found Rita's spare battery, inserted it and turned the camera on. "< Here you go >"

"< Naaah. Since you already got the camera to work, just take the pictures >" I sent with a smile and leaned against the wall to watch, while they took the pictures. Then they gave me the camera, so I could take some pictures of them, making silly poses with the sleeping women.

"< That was fun >" commented Zena when we had placed the camera back in its bag.

Cyra looked me. "< Ivan, we have a question: Do you think we can use mental powers, like the Inquisitor in the story? I mean, we can mind-talk, but can we do more than that? >"

It was clearly something they had been talking about, but unfortunately, answering the question wasn't easy. "I honestly don't know, but if you really want to find out, I'll give it a try after I have started the food."

They both lit up in huge smiles and nodded.

In the kitchen, I placed a pot on the stove and poured half the grape juice in it, followed by two big spoons of honey. Since the grape juice needed time to reduce, I walked back to the table and sat down. The Twins were looking at me, eager to get started.

As I didn't have a Judex, there wasn't any fast and easy way to do it, but I remembered the mental exercises I had been doing in Schola Mentalis, when I had been around their age.

The exercises were designed to make any Mentat better in many different areas of the Ars Mentalis, but they would also give me a hint of the girls' abilities, since it was impossible to do them, if you didn't have the mental aptitude in that field.

Studying the Twins carefully with both eyes and mind, I ran them through the exercises, starting with those related to telepathy, since they could already mind-talk.

As it turned out, they were both quite gifted with telepathy and since that belonged to the Arte ex Alterationis (Baylon: Field of Alteration), I moved on to telekinesis, which belonged to the same field.

The difference between Baylon minds and human minds became strikingly apparent, when none of the girls had any aptitude with telekinesis, as far as I could see.

That made me throw out my plan of trying to follow the Baylon way of doing Ars Mentalis. Instead, I simply went with the old trial and error techniques and ran them through a lot of different mental exercises to see what they could do.

They showed aptitude for just about anything connected with Telepathy and the sending of thoughts, which included several Ars Mentalis attack fields. Something I didn't feel that the twins were ready for yet.

Fortunately, they also showed aptitude for more helpful fields, like Mentis Disciplinae (Baylon: Mental Discipline) and Scientiam (Baylon: 'Knowledge').

The Mentis Disciplinae techniques included the creation of a Mind Shield, so other Mentats had a harder time detecting and affecting them. Since there had to be others like them out there, they needed to learn that to be able to defend their minds.

The Scientiam techniques were even more useful, as they enhanced the mind's ability to absorb and retrieve knowledge and it would be immensely useful in their education. Just as it had been in mine.

The rest of the exercises didn't show any aptitudes in other fields, but that didn't mean the Twins couldn't develop into those fields when they grew older, though most Baylons would have shown signs of it at the age they had now.

On the other hand, that they were extremely gifted with Telepathy worried me. When the ability to send thoughts was strong enough, you could impose your will on others, making them do things. I have always been able to do that, but the difference between the Twins and I, was that my mother had been just as strong willed as I am, making it impossible for me to use it on her.

The Twins on the other hand were not as lucky and when or if they learned to use that ability, they could develop into some unpleasant persons. Small tyrants, that always got their will.

Unfortunately, short of implanting a mental command, I had no idea how to prevent that, as I couldn't be around them all the time, unless... I smiled to myself as an idea struck me. I could use the story as a way of stressing the importance of restraint. As a Baylon virtue, it was already in the story, and it wouldn't take much to stress the importance of it.

"< So we can only do... eh... telepathy? >" asked Zena, with a facial expression and mental tone of voice, that indicated she had been hoping for a lot more.

I went to mental communication since that eliminated the chance of being overheard. "< Only? What do you mean? >"

"< Well... we can do mind-talk and that's it >"

That comment reminded me, that I was talking with persons that knew as little about Ars Mentalis, as I knew about cameras.

"< Honey, telepathy is not just mind-talk. It's a field with many other techniques >" I sent with a reassuring smile. "< I'll show you how to do some of them >"

Cyra smiled widely. "< Now? >

"< Yeah... Just don't expect much right now. You're still beginners >" I sent. "< The most useful techniques right now are a Mind Shield and some Knowledge tricks. Especially the last one, as you can do them on a daily basis. >"

That made the Twins light up in smiles, so I showed them some exercises that they could use together, since that seemed to be the way they liked it. "< You'll need to focus more than you're used to, so hold each other's hand, while doing the exercise. The physical contact will make it easier for you >"

Cyra smiled, took Zena's hand, and started the exercises.

That left me with some time to spare, so when they had shown that they understood how to do it, I walked out to the grill. It took me a while to get it started, but eventually I got it going and walked back to the kitchen.

Seeing that the Twins were still following the instructions, I chopped the pine nuts and parsley, before I started to slice the dates halfway along their longer axis, so I could fill them with the chopped pine nuts later.

I had only made a few, when Cyra asked. "< Do you want any help with that? >"

Along with the mental question there was an impression of me being slow to cut the dates.

Deciding that they could use a break from the mental exercises, I nodded "< Sure >"

"< Cut the dates lengthwise and fill them with nuts, right? >" asked Zena as they both walked over to me.

"< Exactly right >" I answered and took a step back, so they had room to work.

Both looked at the knife I had been using, suppressed a smile, picked two smaller knives from the rack on the wall and went to work.

It soon became apparent that they were no novices in a kitchen, as the dates were slices and filled in record time. Much faster than I could have done.

"You girls are really good." I commented with a smile.

"< At home we cook several times a week >" Sent Zena, as she expertly sliced a date and sent it on to Cyra, who filled it with the chopped pine nuts and placed it on a plate, while she added "< Yeah and we always help mom and Alejandra when they cook >"

"< Who's Alejandra? >" I asked mentally.

"< Oh... She's our nanny and housekeeper >" explained Cyra. "< She's been with us for years, while mom was working >"

Along with the thoughts came a mind-image of a smiling slightly plum dark-haired woman.

Since Alice haven't said anything about working, that made me curious. "< What did she do? >"

"< A lot >" Cyra answered with pride "< She have worked as waitress, dancer, cook and volleyball coach... oh, she also works as a model for a magazine that sells clothes to tall people >"

"< Cyra! We're not supposed to tell people that! >" Protested Zena, while I wondered what a model did in this century. I doubted that they posed for painters or sculptures.

"< Ivan is not 'people' >" answered Cyra calmly.

"< Why aren't you supposed to tell that? >" I asked before an argument could break out.

"< She wants people to see her as sportswoman and not a model >" Explained Cyra and along with the thoughts came a series of mind-images of Alice, dressed in different clothes. She looked fantastic as usual.

"< Well, I won't tell anyone then >" I said with a mental chuckle and realized that both girls were looking at me and not the food.

"Done already?"

They both nodded and Cyra sent. "< Yeah... It's not like it's complicated... unlike the mental exercises you had us doing... They were really hard >"

"< As everything else, it gets easier with practice >"

"< Cool >" sent Zena and then added. "< Can you do more than we can? >"

"< Yes, but I'm also a lot older than you are and have much more practice >"

"< Can you show us something? >" asked Cyra and looked pleadingly at me.

"< I guess that is fair. Harden your minds, please. I might as well test your mind-shields, while I'm at it. Nod, when you're ready >"

They looked concentrated for a moment and then nodded.

Reaching out with my mind, I gently tested their shields. As with most beginners, the shields weren't focused enough, but it was a good effort.

"< You're impressive for beginners, >" I told them both. "< Keep training that and nobody will be able to do this >"

As I finished the thought, I started to project amusement into them. At first, their shields held, but after a few heartbeats, the shields crumbled and they both started to smile, as if I had tickled them.

I kept it going for a little longer before I stopped. "See what I mean?"

"< Yeah, that was awesome... and funny >" replied Cyra with a silent grin. "< I can't stop smiling >"

"< It's the same for me >" sent Zena "< Was that telepathy? >"

"< Not really, but it's related to that >"

"< Can we do it? >" Zena wanted to know. From her unspoken thoughts, I got the feeling that she wasn't talking about now, but at some later point in time.

I thought it over. Since I was born with it, the ability to project emotions was not a learned ability for me, and since they were the first humans I had met that could do telepathy, I had no idea when or if they would be able to send emotions instead of thoughts.

"< To be honest, I don't know, but only time can tell >" I sent. "< And now the two of you need to go through the exercises one more time, while I continue with the food. >"

They both nodded and walked back to the table. A moment later, they were concentrating again.

I turned around and checked on the grape juice. It wasn't quite there yet, so instead I poured some red wine into a pan, added honey and the stuffed dates and got it to a boil, before I sprinkled some salt over them and reduced the heat to the lowest possible.

The well-known aroma made me smile.

Dates stuffed with pine nuts had been a favourite of mine for as long as I could remember, and I looked forward to tasting it again. It was the only sweet dish I had ever learned how to make and that was mainly because it had been impossible to get outside Baylon, so if I wanted it, I had to make it myself.

That didn't stop me from teaching it to every cook I had encountered over the years, and it had actually been a great hit in Rome, where it had been known as Dulcia Domestica.

Seeing the Twins were starting to look tired, I stopped their exercise and had them dice the honey melon along with half the watermelon.

By then the dates were done, so I placed them in a bowl, where they could cool off.

"< Done >" reported Cyra. "< Shall we wake up mom and the others? >"

I took a quick look out of the kitchen window. Judging from the setting sun, they had been asleep for almost two hours.

"< Yes, please do that. Dinner is ready to be served in...>" I almost said, 'a glass', but managed to finish with, "< half an hour >"

"< Cool >"

The grape juice had reduced enough, so I added the diced melon to it along with the parsley, some salt and pepper, a dash of vinegar and a couple of tablespoons of the fish sauce.

Now it only needed to boil and then simmer for a glass before it was done, so I made a quick salad with some lettuce, mint, cucumber, and soft white cheese.

I had just sprinkled it with the rest of the parsley and some olive oil, when the melon dish started to boil, so I turned the heat down and walked out in the garden to grill the meat.

--------------

"I thought you didn't know how to cook!" commented Rita later when we were all relaxing on the patio after the dinner. "This was awesome."

Cyra gestured something, causing Alice to burst into laughter. "Sorry Ivan, but Cyra says that you didn't lie: You really aren't that good in a kitchen."

"Well, I can feed myself." I said, "But I have to admit that what you have just eaten is the only complete meal I can make."

Zena smiled and gestured. That caused Alice to laugh even harder and we had to wait for a moment until she could speak again. "Zena thinks you're even worse than Rita."

"Jeez Thanks." Said Rita with wide grin. "I'm not that bad!"

Karen reached out and patted Rita's arm. "No, you're not... you're just unlucky that all the other females here are better."

That caused a general laughter around the table.

Since Cyra, Zena and I had made the food while the rest were sleeping, Alice, Rita and Karen cleared the table and did the dishes, while I took the Twins through their exercises.

At least that was the plan, but before we even got started, Cyra asked "< Ivan, can we do this to music? >"

"< That shouldn't be a problem, but why would you want to do that? >"

There was a giggle. "< Because we like dancing >"

Put that way, it made sense. "< Okay... go see if we can borrow a laptop >"

Smiling widely, the Twins walked into the house and came back carrying Rita's laptop along with a pair of small black boxes.

Setting it up didn't take long and soon the garden was filled with music.

The Twins looked expectantly at me, but I shook my head. "The rhythm is too fast for the exercise. Can you find something with a slower drum?"

Both turned back to the computer to look at something there, while I chuckled to myself. The concept of having music so readily available was still new to me and to be able to listen to a lot of different music with the push of a button, was fantastic.

A new song started and as I had requested, it was slower with a pronounced rhythm. "Much better, but we need one more. Preferably one just a bit faster."

The second song was quickly found, as it was the same artist, so I started the exercise, adjusting the moves as we went through them, to make them fit better with the music. It was actually quite fun and nothing I had done since ancient Greece and the music back then had been fairly limited.

The hardest part was getting the Twins to focus, coz they were clearly having a lot of fun and started to dance from time to time. I didn't mind. Learning is supposed to be fun and if we had to start over a few times, that was fine with me.

Finally, we got it right and the girls were smiling widely when I complimented them for their rhythm and moves.

Cyra did a little victory dance and then started the music again, looking questioningly at me.

I laughed and nodded. "Yeah... I get it... one time more."

This time it ended in chaos as both Cyra and Zena tried to get me to dance, but as I didn't know the steps, that didn't work out. That only made them determined to teach me how to do it.

"< Come on >" sent Zena with a smile as Cyra started the music again. "< Compared to what you taught us, this is a piece of cake >"

"< Yeah >" added Cyra. "< Everybody can dance Samba. Just feel the rhythm >"

Having danced to drums for more than a thousand years, rhythm wasn't exactly a problem, but the steps were different from the dances I knew. Fortunately, Zena proved to be a good instructor as she watched and explained, while I danced with Cyra.

As Zena usually danced the male part when the twins danced together, she knew exactly how I should move and explained it with a combination of gestures, mental communication and by sending the feeling of how the moves should be done. I almost asked where she had learned that, when I realized it was the same as I had done when I taught them the exercise, and she must have picked it up there.

As always, the mental communication helped a lot and as soon as I stopped thinking about the moves and just danced to the rhythm, it started to go smoothly.

Suddenly, I became aware that there was someone behind me and looking back I discovered that Rita and Karen were dancing to the music, while Alice was looking from the twins to the women and back again with a big smile on her face.

Seeing me looking her, the smile grew from big to huge as she walked unto the grass and towards me. Cyra signed something to her mother and then stepped away from me. A moment later, I had Alice in my arms, moving to the music.

Having a dance partner at roughly the same height as I helped a lot and Alice was laughing as I spun her around in a move Zena had taught me and then dragged her in again.

She was warm, vibrant, and beautiful and I let my lust for her show in a smouldering gaze as I held her close for a moment.

She licked her lips, winked and when she started to move again, the dance was suddenly a lot more sensual. I held her so close that we were almost nose-to-nose as we danced around without looking away from each other's eyes. I could feel every little move her body made and she had a way of giving causal, yet extremely sexy small touches that sent shivers down my spine.

Then she winked again and moved away from me.

Smiling widely, I was about to follow, when Rita stepped in between us and effortless took the role as my dance partner.

I don't know how long we danced, but it was a lot of fun as everybody danced with each other and in general just had a good time until the music suddenly and without warning stopped.

Rita looked over at blank screen of the computer. "Oh... No more battery."

"Good." Said Alice. "I could use a break, something cool to drink and a bath."

She did look sweaty as the light from the garden lamps reflected on her skin, making her even more sexy in my opinion.

"That's easily fixed." Mumbled Karen with a smile and without warning threw Alice in the pool, before jumping right in after her.

Rita was looking at them in total surprise, so I picked her up and threw her into the water, being careful not to hit Alice and Karen. She landed with a splash and a yell.

Looking at the Twins, I asked. "Are you going to jump in, or do I have to throw you?"

Smiling widely, they both ran over to me, so I picked them up and threw them into the pool one at a time, making sure that they enter the water with their feet first and didn't land on anybody.

"Are you coming?" asked Alice as she removed the wet hair from her face.

"In a moment... I'll go get the cool drinks you asked for and then I'll join you."

"Oh... Thanks." Alice said with a smile. I returned it and walked towards the house.

We spent some time relaxing and cooling off in the pool before we all went for a change of clothes. Then it was time for storytelling again.

My 'audience' had the plan down by now and the twins arranged the cushions on the terrace, while Alice and Rita made a bowl of grapes and cut fruit to snack on, and Karen fixed the drinks.

When everybody was seated, and the Twins had shown me that they had their badges, I continued the story.

-------------------------

After having freed some of their loved ones at the Pyramids, the small group continued their journey up the Nile until they reach the city of Waset, where the court of Thutmose was located.

There they find some of the missing people, working on a great temple project at Ipet-isut (Karnak).

I described the magnificent temple for them, the statues and halls made with great columns of cedar wood.

In order to get the missing people free, they contact the Atlantean (Baylon) ambassador at the court, but he is unwilling to help due to political issues.

Inquisitor Captain Maximus discovers that Hatshepsut is being mind-controlled by the Baylon ambassador, who plans to marry her and then kill her family, so he could become Pharaoh himself. The situation grows worse as the commander of the Madjay, an elite force consisting of warriors from Nubia, turns out to be under the control of the Atlantean ambassador as well.

The Inquisitor tries to arrest the Ambassador and it comes to a mental battle between the two. The Ambassador proves to be stronger, but the Inquisitor is saved by the other heroes in the group. The Ambassador flees, but kidnaps Hatshepsut, her brother and father, taking them along with him.

The heroes track the Ambassador to the necropolis, where they have to sneak into the tomb of Thutmose's great grandfather, Nubkheperre Intef and rescue the royals.

Placed at the entrance to the valley, the tomb was protected by magical wards, but these could be bypassed by saying the right magic word, which could be found by solving the puzzles written on the walls of the tomb.

Like the day before, I had both the Twins and the women solve the puzzles, giving me a break and time to eat a few grapes and drink some water.

The puzzles in the story weren't hard to solve and it didn't take long before they had the answer.

"In the words of my forefather, the great Pharaoh Intef:

Do your things on earth as your heart commands. "

I nodded with a smile and continued the story.

With the royals freed, the heroes tried to sneak out again, but they were discovered, and a combat started between the Ambassador and the Madjay on one side and the group of heroes on the other side.

I described the battle as it raged on in the valley, how the leader of the Majay killed Thutmose in an epic duel, while the Inquisitor squared off against the Ambassador again and succeeded in breaking the Ambassadors control of the Madjay.

Free from the mind-control, the furious Majay turned on the Ambassador and tore him apart.

Despite the losses, the heroes won the battle and returned to Waset in triumph.

Thutmose was buried and Thutmose II was crowned as the new pharaoh, while some of the group was reunited with their loved ones.

They were also able to tell the heroes, that the rest of the missing persons had been transported to Kerma, the biggest city in Nubia, so the group travelled even further up the Nile towards Nubia.

--------------------------------

When I finished, they applauded and then both Cyra and Zena ran off towards the house, followed a moment later by Karen.

"Toilet." Explained Alice with a grin. "It was a long story."

"But too exciting to leave in the middle of it." Added Rita and leaned back on the cushions. "I don't know how you do it, but hearing you tell this story is more exciting than most movies. How do you even remember it?"

I chuckled. "By remembering the points and plots of the story and not the details... of course having heard it at least a dozen times helps a lot."

"I guess so..." Alice frowned a bit. "What did you mean with 'points'?"

"It's a moral story about ancient virtues." I explained. "It didn't occur to me when my father told it, but really the Trials is about courage, self-control, tenacity, justice, integrity, honesty, loyalty, temperance, compassion and..." I searched for the right word but couldn't find it. "... the importance in learning and training."

Alice looked stunned, but Rita laughed softly. "That's why you said that 'whoever understands the story shall have a happy life'!"

"No, that was exactly how my father told it to me, but I guess you're right."

-------------

It had been a long day and even with nap the three women had had, they were still exhausted, so Alice went to bed along with the Twins, followed shortly thereafter by Karen, leaving me only Rita and I awake.

"Strange..." She said with a yawn, when we had finished carrying the used bowls and drinking glass into the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher. "My body's tired, but my mind is wide awake."

"Fresh air and playing sports outdoors can do that."

"That's true, but it doesn't make it less irritating." She smiled a tired smile, the teeth looking bright white in contract to her dark skin as she leaned against the kitchen table.

I walked over to her, hugged her, and gave her a kiss, enjoying the softness of her lips. Putting her arms around my neck, she returned the kiss, the tip of her tongue searching for mine and finding it. It was soft kiss, full of tired passion and as we kissed, I felt her body relax against mine.

The kiss and the feeling of her soft, but trim body had the opposite effect on me. All tiredness seemed to wash away, and I felt my dick harden. So, did Rita and with a slight moan, she held me tighter, rocking her pelvis against my hardening dick.

My hands drifted to the backside of her thin summer dress. One hand stayed on the small of her back, while I took my time to caress her with the other hand as I worked my way to her neck.

She moaned into my mouth, when I drifted my hand softly up the side of her neck, touching her skin with only the lightest of grazes of my fingertips.

One of Rita's arms left my neck and a moment later, she pulled down the front of my shorts, freeing my dick. A heartbeat later, her strong fingers danced lightly over it, making it my turn to moan into her mouth, as the feather touch sent tingles through my body.

In return, I left her neck alone and traced my fingers up and down the curves of her sides, up the outer swells of her breasts, feeling their firm softness through the fabric, before going down again.

She moaned, disgruntled as I left her breasts alone, but moved my hands to her round ass, grabbing it with a firm grip as I kept kissing her softly, turning the moan into a deep sound of pleasure. The hand on my dick stopped its light touches and she started to rub her hand up and down my cock appreciatively.

Lifting her dress up, I felt her silken skin against my palms and then the soft cotton of her panties. Since I would rather feel her skin, I simply pulled them down as far as I could, before returning to groping her ass.

Rita groaned and spread her legs a little, using the hand on my cock to slip it between her legs, rubbing it against the lips of her pussy. There was a faint trace of moisture there already, but as she started to rock her hips again, the moisture started to really flow and spread. Her moans became higher and her kisses more demanding.

Using my hands on her butt to pull her a bit closer, I kept up the pressure with my cock, guiding it to rub against her wet lips, occasionally dragging it across her clitoris, enjoying both the feeling and the quickening pace of both her breath and her hips.

I could feel her getting closer to an orgasm, but when she was almost there, I pulled away.

"What?" She asked with a startled look on her beautiful face.

Without answering, I applied pressure to her upper body, making her lean backwards until she was laying down on the kitchen's dinner table.

"What're you doing?" She asked, the smile on her face telling me that she was looking to find out.

"This." I replied as I removed her panties from her long, brown legs and kneeled between them, letting my tongue run on the soft skin on her inner thighs, as I moved towards her pussy.

Without pausing I continued running my tongue from the top of her clitoris to the bottom of her pussy. As always, she tasted wonderful, a mix of sweet and tangy.

"Oh shit!" She moaned, gripping the edge of the table with her hands.

I worked my way back up, flicking my tongue on her clitoris, with running my fingers up and down between her wet lips. Rita groaned approvingly and moved her hips to press against my tongue.

Instead of teasing her, I used my tongue and lips to lick and nipple her clitoris as well as the area surrounding it, while I pressed two fingers into her dripping pussy and started to move them back and forth. Her body went rigid, and she moaned even deeper, as my flingers glided over her internal pleasure point on their way in and out of her.

Moving my head away from her for a second, I whispered, "Not so loud. People are sleeping.", before I caught her clitoris between my lips and nibbled it, followed by a tongue lashing.

Rita's hands left the edge of the table and found my head, pressing it against her.

Getting the not-so-subtle hint, I firmed up my tongue and licked her hard, while moving my fingers faster. Her inner muscles started to pulse around my fingers and a heartbeat later, she bucked, writhed and groaned through clenched teeth, as an orgasm tore through her shaking body.

It was a long, drawn-out climax and I kept licking and using my fingers, until she released my head and collapsed on the table, panting and out of breath.

Standing up, I moved to the side, so she could place her feet on a chair, which she did.

Then she turned her head and looked at me with a big smile. "Wow... that was just... wow."

"Thank you... Do you feel more tired now?"

She considered it as she sat up. "Not really... but I have a plan to cure it."

"Hot chamomile tea with milk and honey?" I asked jokingly, having seen and recognized the herb in the shopping mall in Malaga.

That made her laugh and give me a hug. "No. I'm gonna ride you until my mind is blown... but let's go downstairs. I don't want to spend half the time trying to be silent." Without waiting for an answer, she picked her panties up from the floor and walked towards the stairs, her firm round ass swaying seductively.

With a smile, I followed.

We had barely entered 'my' room when Rita's summer dress hit the floor. It was almost like magic. One heartbeat, she was dressed. The next heartbeat, she was naked.

I admired her body as she turned around to look at me. "You're still dressed?"

Hurriedly, I got out of the clothes and as soon as I was naked, Rita gave me a playful push, making me fall onto the bed.

Bending over, Rita used a moment to take my dick in her mouth and slid nearly half of its length into her mouth with one bob, then on the next getting it all the way down her throat. Like the last time it felt amazing and with a groan, I leaned back on the bed and enjoyed the feeling of her constricting throat around my cock.

Unfortunately, she only did it a few times, before she stopped and straddled my hips instead, rubbing her soaked pussy up and down my cock.

"Ohhhh... I'm soooo turned on." She moaned, sliding the head of my cock between her pussy lips.

With agonizing slowness, she rocked her hips back and forth, drawing ever so slightly more and more of my cock inside of her until her pelvis met mine.

Rita let out a gasp of pure satisfaction. "Damn... I love your cock... It's freaking magical!"

"Thanks." I managed to say, despite the amazing feeling of her around me. "You're pretty amazing yourself... And the same goes for your pussy."

Rita smiled down at me, her teeth a brilliant white contrast to her dark skin, and started to ride me, exactly as she had said she would.

She started off slowly, taking in only a little of me at a time before dropping back down to the base, but she didn't linger on this measured pace for long. Soon she was riding me hard, bouncing up and down in my lap and taking almost all of me with each bounce.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" She groaned loudly with each bounce. "So fucking good!"

I enjoyed the sight of her jiggling tits for a few moments, but then put my hands on them, cupping and squeezing them while she rode me.

"Fuck!" Rita shivered and then came with a suddenness surprised our both. Normally, I can feel the build-up, but not this time.

Her body shivered and shook, as she rocked back and forth on my hips, squeezing my cock with her pussy walls, making me moan.

Leaning forward, she gave me a long, sweet kiss, before saying. "And now for mind blowing part!"

Sitting back up, she started to move again and this time there was nothing slow about it.

She rode me as fast and hard as she could, her hips a blur as she slammed herself down on me, impaling herself on my cock, her pussy grabbing me tightly with each move.

I moaned with exquisite pleasure at the feeling and that I could feeling the build-up inside Rita only made it better.

Without stopping, Rita placed a hand on my chest to support herself and used to other to play with her clitoris, as she expertly bounced up and down.

"Fuck!" she exclaimed. "I'm coming!"

Then she exploded again, losing her rhythm as she bucked and shuddered against me while her pulsating muscles clenched my cock.

She was still coming, when I let go of her fabulous tits, placed my hands on her hips and used the leverage of the bed to thrust into her. Hard.

Rita yelped and groaned, leaning forward to give me a kiss, while I repeated that powerful thrust several more times. She screamed into my mouth as she kissed me, and I felt her hot juices wash over me as she squirted. Her body began to convulse again, and her pussy squeezed down on my shaft, making her even tighter.

I continued to move during her orgasm, sliding my dick in and out of her dripping wet pussy, while enjoying the feeling of being inside her.

With a finale shiver, Rita broke our kiss and let herself tilt to the side, falling onto the bed with a big smile plastered on her face. "That was awesome!"

"Oh yes!" I said, adding "Do you think you can sleep now?"

The smile grew a little wider, as she stretched. "Without any doubt."

Looking at her body, shook my head smiling. "Are you trying to bait me?"

"A little," she admitted. "You haven't come yet."

"Don't worry about that." I said and leaned over to give her a kiss. "With all the sex I'm getting, I don't need to come every time. Close your eyes and sleep instead."

Still with a smile on her face, she pulled the blanket over her and closed her eyes.

Laying down beside her, I did the same. After a little while, I had relaxed enough for my erection to disappear and I drifted off to sleep.
