“Yes sir,” Aries replied and closed his phone. Placing it on the kitchen counter, he leaned his head against the refrigerator and sighed. He was screwed. He just lied to his boss. He didn’t have a meeting with Apollo. Hell, getting five minutes alone with the hulking Norse God was going to be hard enough, but trying to sell him and the town on letting a known business man come in and buy everything, was going to be next to impossible. There was no way the town of Celestial would ever let that happen without a fight. Only, Aries wasn’t so sure the town would fight. Everyone was so damn passive, so content with their lives, he worried that if the town did nothing, within a year’s time, the town of Celestial would be no more. Aries knew that Tristan wouldn’t wait a single second before he swooped in and started reorganizing everything. Soon, new businesses would appear to help bolster the economy. Before long, the wonderful crazy citizens would be pushed out. In their place would be managers, CEO’s and three-piece suits. The wonderful home he remembered would be gone, and something about that didn’t sit right with Aries. He was screwed. He could tell Apollo what was going on and help him and the town do what they could to save the town, or he could do what he came here to do and destroy the only home he ever knew. Time was of the essence and no matter how he looked at it, he knew there was nothing he could do to stop Tristan Summerfield from coming in and claiming the town of Celestial.
He needed to find Apollo and fast. The sooner he talked with the mayor the sooner he would know what to do.

“No, no, no!” Capri yelled for the hundredth time. “Pisces, you can stop posing. This isn’t about you. It’s about spirituality, communing with the universe, getting in touch with your soul, your partners soul. Have you ever had a true spiritual release?”
“Every time I look at myself in the mirror,” the naked sheriff said, his naked body glistening with body glitter and sweat. Why he put that stuff on his body, she didn’t want to know. All she knew was that it was giving her a headache. “I am the perfect specimen of what a cosmic being should be.”
“He’s the perfect specimen of what a pain in the ass looks like,” Landon muttered, standing behind Aries.
“I heard that!” Pisces shouted.
“Good!” Landon yelled back.
“Maybe you should ask Landon instead,” Aquarius suggested, whispering in her ear. Her body was still on overdrive, thanks to him and his brother from last night. She’d never been so used and fulfilled before and though she was sore, her body was craving them again.
“Someone better decide soon, because I am getting bored with this conversation,” Ace lamented.
“Oh, don’t worry, Sugar Britches, you won’t be bored for along.”
Ace sighed, rolling her eyes.
Capri was seriously beginning to rethink asking her friends for help. This whole ordeal was becoming more of a hindrance than something worthwhile. She appreciated everyone’s input, but her idea was simple. All she needed was different faces to discuss and teach the many different styles of sexual spirituality for her retreat. How hard was that? Everyone loved talking about sex, it should have been an easy gig. But thanks to those who offered to help, they were more interested in their own frivolities than helping her with her retreat.
“I’ll show everyone what a happy spirit looks like.” Pisces grinned and everyone sighed.
“That’s it,” Capri shouted.
“No,” Aquarius shouted, interrupting her. “They’re fine, baby. They just need more direction.”
“It’s not working, Aquarius,” Capri replied, frustrated. “You know that. It’s going to take you hours to tone down the sparkly idiot over there. Besides, you know him. He will hog everything.”
“I can throw the sparkly idiot into the sun and Landon can help. Too easy,” Aquarius pleaded.
Capri sighed. “But I’ll have to teach him everything. It took me years to learn what I know. That’s why I asked Pisces, he’s from Celestial. He was raised on this.”
“I’ll help you,” Aquarius quickly said.
“This is bullshit,” Ace said getting up from Pisces’s desk in the sheriff’s shack. “All this talk about sex has made me horny. I need release and you guys are talking too much about something that doesn’t interest me.” Capri said nothing as Ace grabbed Landon and dragged him toward the back room. Looking at Aries and Aquarius, she smiled sweetly and shrugged her shoulders.
Aquarius turned to his brother. A look of fear marred his face.
Aries sighed. “Rock, paper, scissors?”
“Fine,” Aries groaned.
* * * *
“This is a really nice spread,” Aquarius said, popping another strawberry into his mouth.
“I need more coffee,” Aries replied, his eyes glued to the picnic table before him. The Crystal Tumbler was the next stop for Capri. Though he wasn’t sure how food and sex mixed, he sure didn’t mind eating on the job. As it was right now, Capri hadn’t found anyone willing or able to help her with her retreat. The pickings were getting rather slim and Aries knew if someone else told her no, then she would be doing the retreat all by herself. Oh, he knew she could handle it, but he still didn’t like the idea. Something about his woman teaching other how to find a sexual spiritual release didn’t sit well with him. She belonged to him and his brother. For all he cared about those other people could go find their own release and leave his woman alone. She wasn’t a toy to be played with. She was their personal sex guru. She was his!
To make matters worse, after leaving the Celestial Sheriff’s Shack, Aries stopped over at the Rainbow Room, to speak with Apollo, but the bastard wasn’t there. No one had seen him. Of course, it didn’t take a genius to know that he was either with Fairy or Helios fucking instead of doing his job. But that was how Celestial rolled.
He really had no room to complain on the matter. In the last four days, he had had more sex than he had in the years he’d been gone. The problem was he was becoming too damn exhausted to enjoy it. His brother Aries was in the same boat. Thanks to Pisces’s vain ass, Aries lost the rock, paper, scissors game, and had to service Capri as she instructed him on the technique of sensual massage foreplay, so he would know what to do when the time came.
However, as he and his brother watched Capri talk with Jude, Dew and Leo, it looked as if everything was finally going to work out for her, and though he loved her dearly, he was happier that his dick was finally going to get some much-needed rest.
“I was messing around on my computer last night and read that Summerfield Corporation is looking to expand out west,” Aquarius said, interrupting his thoughts.
Nodding, Aries took another drink of his coffee, before answering. “Mr. Summerfield is always looking to expand.”
“You know he’s been putting his drilling equipment all around this area. He already owns the land between Celestial and Treasure Cove.”
“I know.”
“Why is he moving his company here, Aries?” his brother asked, flatly.
“I don’t know.”
“I think you do, and you’re not saying. I’ve seen your hushed phone conversations. I’ve seen how aggravated and angry you get when you talk to him. What is going on? Does this have anything to do with what happened in Treasure Cove?”
“No.”
“Are you going to tell me anything?”
“I can’t,” Aries said, rubbing the back of his neck. “Not yet at least.”
“Are you going to tell Capri the truth?”
“Soon.”
Aries said nothing as his brother slowly got up from the picnic table before walking off and said, “See that you do, because if you don’t, I will.”
* * * *
The night was warm, as Aries stood next to his brother on the deck of the pontoon boat. It was a real pretty night for a boat ride and the stars were big and bright. However, the three men before him were acting like morons and if they didn’t cut it out, this was going to be the shortest converstation in history!<
br />
“Lazy and the moon comin’ up tonight, shining through the trees,” Zeus started.
“Crickets are singing and lightning bugs are floatin’ on the breeze,” Poseidon added and then Hades finished, with, “Baby, get ready…Ooh yeah!”
“Goddess help us,” Aries whispered to his brother, as the three Olympic Gods of Celestial serenaded their woman.
Aquarius leaned toward him and asked, “I thought Capri decided not to ask them?”
“She changed her mind. Apparently she tried to talk Phoebe into helping her, but her aura was out of whack. Until it gets fixed, she doesn’t want to chance anything.”
“Makes sense.” His brother nodded.
“You better pray they can get their shit together, because if they don’t, we’re up to bat. She’s talking to them about how to incorporate multiple partners for a heightened spiritual release.”
Aquarius stood and immediately lent his voice to the ambiance. “Down by the river in the full moon light.”
Aries didn’t know what was going on with the conversation before him, but he could tell Capri’s temper was rising. He had to give the Olympic Gods credit though, they were attentive and listened about as well as a toddler. However, when Hades reached for his fishing pole, while Capri was talking, Aries knew the conversation went south, especially when the pontoon boot pulled away from the dock.
“Batter up, bro.” Aries grinned, slapping Aquarius on the back.
“But you said this was a ménage scene. That means you, too!”
Aries was prepared. Reaching into his back pocket, he handed his brother a silver bullet and two dildos. Grinning, he just said, “Now go make her happy and hit a home run.”
“I hate you,” Aquarius mumbled as he walked toward Capri.
* * * *
“Okay, guys… I can’t thank you three enough for doing this and letting us borrow the sheriff’s station. I mean this place is intense. I’ve always believed roll playing was an imperative part of heightening the sexual mood. The more a woman enjoys herself, the more relaxed she will be.” Capri smiled, looking around the sheriff’s station of Treasure Cove. She’d never been here before but it looked like a real station, unlike that little shack Pisces used in Celestial.
It even had a jail!
“It’s our pleasure.” Pandora smiled, hugging Zac to her.
“I swear,” Garrett growled. “If anyone walks in here, I will make you regret ever talking me into this, Mary Jane.”
“I have everything taken care of. Charlotte said she would stand guard.”
“What!” both Garrett and Zac roared.
“She’s outside now, ready to protect them.”
“And you think one little woman is going to stop the whole town from coming in here?”
“You have met Charlotte, right?” Pandora asked, getting a little miffed.
“Of course, I’ve met her,” Garrett replied.
“Then there is nothing to worry about.” Pandora grinned.
“Keep talking like that, Mary Jane, and you will have plenty to worry about tonight,” Garrett said slowly, making Pandora blush.
“Don’t worry, the quicker I get the information I need, the faster I’ll be out of your hair and then no one will have to worry about Charlotte or the town. Now, the more I look around, the more I like what I have to work with here. I think I want to changes things up a bit?”
“What did you have in mind?” Aquarius asked moving to stand behind her.
“How about a little light bondage?”
Aries grinned and Aquarius smiled.
“That’s our cue.” Zac grinned. “Just put everything back where you found it.”
“Come on, Mary Jane, it’s time for my lunch break,” Garrett said.
“Oh goody!”
Ten minutes later, Aries maneuvered Capri through the dark, dimly lit cell. Her blindfold prohibited her from seeing anything. He stopped her in front of a small table. It was sturdy, and just the right height for him to access her pussy and ass when he bent her over it. Even more important, though, it was fairly narrow, allowing him to walk around to the other side, and slow the pace by using her mouth. Capri’s breasts were pressed flat against the surface as Aries bound her securely. She was completely open to him, for whatever purpose he deemed appropriate. Once Aries had her in position, he pushed her down over the table and began to tie her to it.
Capri stifled a little moan as familiar feelings of having her limbs spread and secured brought her back to a place of nirvana, she had visited long ago as Aquarius bound her hands. Excitement unfurled in her stomach. Yes, this was what she wanted.
Aquarius’s hands were warm against hers, wrapping them gently in the rope, and lacing more rope up her legs to secure her. It both relaxed and seduced her, and her juices began to flow. The position alone, legs spread, exposed and immobilized, had always altered her reality. Aries often left her there for a few minutes, just to let her test the bonds. Absorbing her situation, her lack of choices. This was a familiar routine to her, but it had never lost its power. Unlike most activities frequently done, it took her breath away, every single time. When Aquarius tied the final knot, taking away the last of her freedom, he manipulated her left hand into her safe sign, just as a reminder. Suddenly the idea of being tied up and at the mercy of Aries and Aquarius wasn’t so scary anymore.
Time became a relative concept for her when he began a scene, and afterward she’d be lucky to remember the order of events, or all that happened. Even taking that into account, it began to seem like she’d been neglected for a very long time, and she strained for any sound. The music came from out of nowhere. It was loud and nothing penetrated her sensory deprived state. She was just beginning to suffer the first pinpricks of apprehension, when she felt a familiar sensation. It was something she’d felt many times before, and even though she knew it signaled the beginning of what was to come, she sighed with relief.
Capri shivered as the tip of the cane traveled the length of her thigh, stroking lightly, preparing her for the coming strike. Crack! The first blow was sharp, and she bucked against the ropes. She opened her mouth to scream, but soft fabric was thrust into her mouth, and almost immediately her tongue recognized the flavor of her own juices, and the silky softness of the panties she’d worn earlier.
The cane delivered two distinctly different sensations, which is probably why she loved it so much. An initial white-hot sting, and then an aftershock, even more painful, that seemed to radiate out from the impact. Aries was slow and deliberate, giving her time to absorb the shock, and process each nuance while bracing for the next lash. However, the second strike of the cane was almost immediate, with no preliminary touch to tell her where, and one blow quickly followed another.
Capri was caught off guard, and writhed from the pain as much as her tight bonds allowed. She needed and wanted more, and was getting wetter by the minute. Then she felt Aries’s hand in her hair, and her head was yanked back roughly, the soaked panties pulled out, and Aries’s cock pushed into her mouth. She would know the feel, taste, and smell of him anywhere, but even in the dim haze of sensory overload, she was aware that the cane was still rising and falling regularly. Even though Aries was obviously in front of her, holding her head.
She spent a few seconds wondering if the surprise was a new long-handled cane which allowed Aries to cane her while he fucked her mouth. Then she gave herself up completely to the guilty pleasure of pure sensation. He pushed all the way to the back of her mouth, holding her firmly, testing her limits, deciding when her next breath would be.
The cane still rose and fell rhythmically, but now the pain was secondary to the all-consuming wonder of being a vessel for his use. Aries could bring her to orgasm with little more than a cane, but oral stimulation had always been a trigger for her, as well. She knew that when he allowed her release, it would be earth shattering.
Capri had just begun to wonder how she would be able to ask for permission to come with her mou
th so very full, when she felt hands stroking her sore cheeks. Capri froze, realizing now what she should have known all along. Aries’s cock was still straining against her throat, his hands holding her head, which meant Aquarius was behind her. She tensed.
“Relax, my love. Let little brother have his fun.”
His voice calmed her, reminded her that she was loved, owned and that he cared for his possessions. Capri nodded her head as best she could with him still deep in her mouth, realizing he was right. She arched her back, suddenly desperate for the unknown.
Her cheeks were spread wide, Aquarius’s hands less gentle now, tracing the stripes he’d placed there. Her pussy was nearly dripping from the combination of the caning and Aries fucking her throat, and she strained backward, silently begging for more. Aquarius’s cock now breaching her entry felt silky smooth against her hot flesh, and she knew that Aries had insisted he go first. Aquarius must have wanted this, too, because the head of his cock was quite large as he penetrated slowly, inch by blissfully agonizing inch. Despite her best efforts to push back and take it all at once.
When at last Capri felt his hips firmly against hers, she clenched tightly, wanting to keep him inside her, but he withdrew his cock, even more slowly. Blissfully content, her two loves established a tantalizingly measured rhythm, Aries pushing all the way in just as Aquarius pulled out. Capri was lost in a sightless cloud of pleasure, and gave herself up to it entirely.
She arched her back, moving against Aquarius as much as the ropes would allow, and sucking Aries’s cock as if her very life depended on it. Even without words, Aries knew she was close. He pulled out of her mouth, even though Aquarius continued to pump in and out slowly. His voice entered her consciousness as if from a great distance.
“Is there something you want to ask me, baby?”
Aries pulled out of her mouth, and she breathed. “May I come?”
“Yes you may, my love. Now.”
Both men thrust inside her to the hilt as Aries gave his permission for her release. No more was needed. Her entire body began to shake and tremble in the bonds. If not for the support of the table, she would have crumpled into a heap. The spasms went on and on, one orgasm becoming another. Before she had a chance to recover, though, Capri felt the warmth of the Aquarius’s cock being replaced with something cold and hard.
