&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;9: Turning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What? I’m sorry, Roger, what did you say?” Amy looked up from the computer screen as she spoke, still not seeming fully engaged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I said, are you OK? You’ve been just fading in and out for the last day or so, and some of us are worried.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, the last two days had been more than a bit of a strain on everyone. Third year students at the Academy regularly went through deep simulations with few breaks to start exposing them to an operational pace for their future assignments. More than an operational pace, actually – the theory was that if you really pushed the cadets now, you’d accomplish two things. First, they’d find the actual pace of operations almost relaxing. Second, you’d wash out the last of the cadets that didn’t belong.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Remember - He Knows! 2: He Still Knows</title><link>/stories/2013/04/09/remember-he-knows-2-he-still-knows/</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/04/09/remember-he-knows-2-he-still-knows/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This story is fictional.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;8: The Cost of Carelessness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh, good morning Roger.&amp;rdquo; Amy was rinsing out her coffee cup as Roger walked in to the kitchen, still in his pajamas. She was fully dressed and the dishes in the sink made it clear that both she and Ken had already been up, eaten, and cleaned up. &amp;ldquo;I was just about to leave you and Andrea a note. Now that the 24 hours is up, Ken and I figured we&amp;rsquo;d stick around in the suite for a little while just pretend like were having a normal day away from the Academy. We won’t have the chance to do much of that pretty soon.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At the Academy 7: Decoration</title><link>/stories/2013/03/01/at-the-academy-7-decoration/</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/03/01/at-the-academy-7-decoration/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="at_the_academy6.html"&gt;part 6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;7: Decoration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Let’s go, Roger. I know you can move faster than that even with the hobble.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Andrea tugged on the rope she’d attached around his waist. His hands were firmly cuffed behind his back, and the cuffs at his ankles had about a 2 foot chain between them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I can’t see and the chain from my wrists to the hobble occasionally makes things interesting.” He said, too much anger in his voice for someone who was naked, cuffed, blindfolded, and being forced to walk outside. The slight chill in the air had warned him about the last part before he could feel the grass under his feet.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At the Academy 6: Completely Surrounded</title><link>/stories/2013/02/17/at-the-academy-6-completely-surrounded/</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/02/17/at-the-academy-6-completely-surrounded/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="at_the_academy5.html"&gt;part 5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 6: Completely Surrounded&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suspended in rubber, trapped in darkness, Roger really couldn’t judge time well. At one point he tried counting heartbeats and using a rough pulse count to estimate the amount of time, but the count got quite high and it created such monotony that it didn’t particularly help. So he gave up and tried to develop a strategy that would let him gain some freedom of movement.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At the Academy 5: Fierce Competition</title><link>/stories/2013/01/17/at-the-academy-5-fierce-competition/</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2013/01/17/at-the-academy-5-fierce-competition/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="at_the_academy4.html"&gt;part 4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 5: Fierce Competition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roger surveyed the hotel lobby from the mezzanine above. He knew what he was looking for, but needed to be sure that he didn&amp;rsquo;t appear to actually be looking. If his information was right, Amy and one of her partners in crime would be making their way across the lobby towards the West entrance at any moment now. He checked his watch, wondering if he had the timeline wrong in his head. As he did so, he allowed himself a moment to replay the events of the past week.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At the Academy 4: Alone for the Holidays</title><link>/stories/2012/12/23/at-the-academy-4-alone-for-the-holidays/</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2012/12/23/at-the-academy-4-alone-for-the-holidays/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="at_the_academy3.html"&gt;part 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 4: Alone for the Holidays&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;What the hell is going on?&amp;rdquo; Roger wondered for what had to be the fourth time. He tried willing his arms to move, but the effects of the stunner simply made that impossible. He watched as the four figures moved around him and wondered what would come next.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The day had started ordinarily enough, at least for someone in his circumstances. Although the holiday break left him without classes or responsibilities, it also left him with few options for entertainment or diversion. He had had the bad luck to come down with a serious virus that had been brought to the Academy along with the delivery of supplies almost 7 weeks ago. He certainly hadn&amp;rsquo;t been alone in getting ill; better than a quarter of the station&amp;rsquo;s student body, instructors, and staff had also contracted the virus before a quarantine managed to knock down further transmission. Unfortunately, Roger had been the last to contract the illness before this occurred.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At the Academy 3: Turning the Tables</title><link>/stories/2009/01/17/at-the-academy-3-turning-the-tables/</link><pubDate>Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/01/17/at-the-academy-3-turning-the-tables/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continues from &lt;a href="at_the_academy2.html"&gt;part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 3: Turning the Tables&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s odd to wake up and find your surroundings completely changed. Roger was confused as he rose slightly out of bed, taking the bedroom surrounding him in. Display panel, bureau, closet, door – all the standard fittings for a reasonably priced hotel room with the antiseptic decorating style that went with a large chain. Of course, it took a moment as sleep fell away and he remembered that he really should be waking in the Baron’s large, circular, stone study. When that realization hit, he nearly leapt out of bed, ready for anything. His training rapidly took over and he relaxed a bit as he started to take full stock of his situation.
He guessed immediately that he was still in the VR suite – he doubted that he could have been taken off the station and to a hotel without the use of some significant amount of drugs and his senses weren’t dulled in a way that would indicate those had been used. But obviously, things had changed. Andrea was nowhere to be found, he was now dressed in contemporary clothing, albeit just his boxer briefs at the moment, and the décor was modern. He was obviously in a suite – the open doors to a bathroom and sitting area made that obvious. A quick look around confirmed both that Andrea was nowhere to be found and he wasn’t a prisoner in any way since all of the doors worked.
He decided to give himself some time to wake fully before trying to figure more out and headed for the shower after engaging all of the locks on the door to the hotel hallway. Not that it would matter if he was in some training scenario, since the computer would simply provide some other way for any programmed assailants to enter his rooms. But it was a logical step as he tried to remember what happened. In the shower, he replayed the previous night in the suite – Andrea bound in a suspended spread-eagle as he teased and tormented her (he remembered grinning at the amazing ability of the suite – that position normally would become horribly painful in a short while, but not when pressor fields suspended the subject). Her gagged moans and groans finally become climaxes when he allowed her release, her eyes vacillating between glares that showed a desire for revenge and plaintive looks that just indicated desire. In the end, he’d let her down and they’d made love on the bed without the benefit of any bindings in the tender and romantic way that only new lovers can seem to capture.
As he applied the soap he wondered what had happened? How in the hell had the suite…&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Turn of Events 4: Another Turn of Events</title><link>/stories/2008/04/03/turn-of-events-4-another-turn-of-events/</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2008/04/03/turn-of-events-4-another-turn-of-events/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This is a continuation of &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="turnofevents3.html"&gt;Part 3: Events Unfolding&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;rdquo; which you&amp;rsquo;ll find posted here.

&lt;p&gt;The holiday season at the Academy was its typical mix of enjoyment and depression. The festivities planned always seemed to polarize the cadets, either looking forward to the parties, dances, and rest from the typical working schedule (which was grueling to be sure); or remembering family, friends, and lovers who were now far away. The fact that the minimum distance to one of the latter was over 100 million miles didn’t help many of the cadets. Throw in the average of over 22 light-years, and the depressed side wasn’t a surprise to anyone.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>At the Academy 2</title><link>/stories/2007/03/10/at-the-academy-2/</link><pubDate>Sat, 10 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/03/10/at-the-academy-2/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;continued from &lt;a href="at_the_academy2.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Part 2: Virtually Occupied&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roger hit the button on his desk and opened the door when it chimed without bothering to turn towards it. He was expecting Ken, who’d left to grab them both some coffee and a morning snack, largely since Roger was faster at writing code than he was. While both were competent programmers, the language for the VR suites was a bit odd, and Roger understood it far better than Ken.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Remember - He Knows!</title><link>/stories/2007/03/10/remember-he-knows/</link><pubDate>Sat, 10 Mar 2007 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2007/03/10/remember-he-knows/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Miranda sat at her computer, scanning the data on machine performance and looking for the tell-tale signs of impending issues.  After a long day of programming, database maintenance, and control system recalibration, she always performed this check to help identify the machines that might break down in the next day or two.  If she found anything, she’d schedule preventative maintenance to avoid the issue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lydia &amp;amp; Me 10 - Present Time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My birthday happens to come on a
holiday or at least a day that’s supposed to be a holiday if we didn’t
muck with the calendar and make sure that as many “holidays” fall on Mondays
as is humanly possible. Personally, I find that a little annoying.
If the day’s important enough to celebrate, shouldn’t we ignore the three
day weekend idea and actually celebrate that particular day? Anyway,
it just so happened that this year the stars, planets, and calendar all
aligned so that my actual birthday, holiday, and a Monday all hit on the
same day. So it was going to be three days of fun and celebration.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 11</title><link>/stories/2005/08/09/lydia-and-me-11/</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/08/09/lydia-and-me-11/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me10.html"&gt;part ten&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“I’m hungry and I have to go to
the bathroom, honey.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While those may not be the words
that you expect or even necessarily want to hear after bringing your wife
to a sexual climax, this particular wife had now been mummified and strapped
to our bed for almost four hours. I laughed as I wiped the gag off
on a towel we had handy close to the bed and started to loosen the nylon
strap that pinned her shoulders to the bed.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 12</title><link>/stories/2005/08/09/lydia-and-me-12/</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/08/09/lydia-and-me-12/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me11.html"&gt;part 11&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter 12 - Reality &amp;amp; Fantasy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hung suspended over a vat of acid,
the evil arch-villainess threatening to drop me into it at any moment unless
I revealed the secret codes that would unlock the computer systems controlling
our nuclear missiles…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…only to pull vainly against the

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter 14 - What was that Tracking Number&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the very least, the chair was
comfortable.  Well, that, and I knew that I wasn’t about to be sold
into slavery to some latex-loving dominatrix in Bermuda.  Or Braintree,
for that matter – I’d be unlikely to be lucky enough to land a prime tropical
local with my luck.  Other than that, I was beginning to phase out
of “enjoyment” and into “annoyance” as I sat in the back room, bound in
latex and waiting for my wife.  Probably, the booze was starting to

a stranger – OK, another stranger, Margaret had already fulfilled that
part – was starting to gnaw at me.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Trapped by Eros</title><link>/stories/2005/06/05/trapped-by-eros/</link><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/06/05/trapped-by-eros/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The following is a work of fiction involving adult themes.

out that I’ve never been to Eros boutique, I don’t know if they employ
anyone name Margaret, and that I’m creating the descriptions that followed

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Eight - High Stakes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You want to do what?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast when Lydia had
asked me a question about the up-coming holiday weekend. Three days
with no work, no client calls, and no plans. While things hadn’t
been completely crazy recently, they’d been busy enough that both of us
were looking forward to the time alone together without interruption.
I was a bit engrossed with the sports section, since the Cubs were on a
tear lately and I was very much looking forward to the fact that they were
on the TV twice in the next three days. Then Lydia had said something
about “high stakes poker.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 9</title><link>/stories/2005/02/28/lydia-and-me-9/</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/28/lydia-and-me-9/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me8.html"&gt;part eight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Nine - Forced Labour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m dreaming of being at game seven of the World Series, rooting on
my Cubs as they enter the bottom of the ninth up by four runs. The
Yankees are starting with the top of their lineup, but Letroy Hawkins has
been unhittable in the series, so I’m confident and trying hard not to
celebrate. I go to pick up my beer, but I seem to be having trouble
moving my arms to pick it up. Then I feel a hand at my crotch and
I know it’s not mine. As I look down, suddenly noticing the straight
jacket that seems to have magically appeared about me, I wake up…&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 5</title><link>/stories/2005/02/27/lydia-and-me-5/</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/27/lydia-and-me-5/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me4.html"&gt;part four&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Five - Alone Again&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I would have to fall in love with a damned deviant genius,” I thought
to myself as I futilely tried to pull my arms up even a little bit. But
the wrapping job was too thorough and between the plastic, the duct tape,
and my almost complete lack of decent leverage, they stayed exactly where
they were.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suppose some explanation is in order, otherwise I’m just a mummified
guy wasting your time. My day had started off well enough. I was wrapping
up a project and collecting a very large check as a reward for my troubles,
and then was going to be heading off for a weekend in Las Vegas with an
old school pal who I was still in touch with. He had bought a condo there
ages ago when his business put him in the city over half the time. We both
love to play poker and every once in a while we hop on a plane and go to
blow some money at the tables and have some fun.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 6</title><link>/stories/2005/02/27/lydia-and-me-6/</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/27/lydia-and-me-6/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me5.html"&gt;part five&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Six - My Girlfriend&amp;rsquo;s Best Friend&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You think I never liked you, don’t you, Ray?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The question surprised me just a bit more than the fact that there was
someone in the house. I was just coming back from my client’s where I’d
introduced Lydia, managed to avoid telling the security guy what an idiot
I thought he was, and found that with my code in hand they had little reason
for me to be there any longer. So I excused myself properly and headed
for home so that I could get ready for the meeting that had been pushed
to tomorrow with Jack on his Customer Management portal. I had barely cleared
the door when Jane had asked it, looking at me over her coffee mug as she
sat at the kitchen table.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 7</title><link>/stories/2005/02/27/lydia-and-me-7/</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/27/lydia-and-me-7/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me6.html"&gt;part six&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Seven - Exhibition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Lydia moved and ground herself into me, causing me to groan and start
to get excited again. She’d been on top of me a while now, and the stimulation
was making me excited once again. We were approaching our third time around
now, and I wondered how long this would go on.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our wedding day was just over two months behind us, and Lydia and I
were still in the “honeymoon mode,” though Lydia swore that if she had
anything to say in the matter we’d never leave it. I liked that attitude,
myself, and did everything I could to support it. Though we’d been living
together for almost a year before we were wed, we did what we could to
keep things fresh and interesting. The biggest challenge was trying not
to get too wrapped up in our work to forget what we’d learned the first
time we’d drifted apart – that being with the right person was the most
important thing to us.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me</title><link>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter One - Grand Theft&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I strained and struggled for what seemed like the thousandth time, though
I knew it couldn’t have been that long yet. Like all my previous attempts,
the plastic wrap that encircled me held me fast, leaving no movement save
the slight rocking I could manage on the table. I was almost completely
encased from head to toe, save for my a few inches of skin at my neck and
my member, which stood at attention, betraying a fetish I hadn’t been able
to indulge in years. My captor had found that amusing and left it free,
even playing with it at times during my imprisonment.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 2: Revelations</title><link>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me-2-revelations/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me-2-revelations/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me1.html"&gt;part one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Two - Revelations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Short of a night of bondage and sex, there’s just about nothing like
the feel of a shower following a night of bondage and sex. At least, that’s
my opinion. Washing away the sweat and residue after a good night’s sleep
makes me feel very much human again and acts as a sort of hint of things
that might come, since there’s not much motivation to repeat the activity
if your partner smells like a goat.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 3</title><link>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me-3/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me2.html"&gt;part two&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Three - Cleaning Up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Those berries were great. Could I have some more?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I looked up from the paper and grinned. “They’re right next to you.
Help yourself.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lydia glared at me with only somewhat feigned annoyance. She obligingly
struggled in the wrap that I’d put around her and said, “I’m supposed to
just drop my face in them and dig in?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I laughed as I put down the sports section and sighed as though exasperated.
I crawled across the bed to where she sat, in a sort of straightjacket
made out of plastic wrap. When I’d woken her up, I’d let her use the facilities,
but left no doubt that I was in charge now and there would be no breakfast
until I was satisfied that she’d been accounted for properly. She smiled
coyly and said, “Whatever could you have in mind?”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Lydia and Me 4</title><link>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me-4/</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2005/02/01/lydia-and-me-4/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;story continues from &lt;a href="lydia_and_me3.html"&gt;part three&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Four - Recollections&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Things had settled down a bit for Lydia and I after our passionate reunion,
which was to be expected. We made love like rabbits for a few days, sometimes
bound, sometimes not, and spent the days I’d taken off catching up on old
times and finding out what we’d both been up to in detail. She’d taken
a hotel room when she first arrived, which we quickly checked her out of.
There was no doubt that she’d be living with me and no way I was about
to let us be apart right now.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
