I was walking and………….” I stopped in mid-sentence. There, about three feet in front of me, leaning on the railing stood, a 6 ‘ 4” someth...ing of a very yummy blue eyed man. He had a motorcycle helmet in one hand, and the other hand had a thumb hooked in his jean pocket. Mhh, nice package. “Oh umm,” I continued, “I am really sorry, I will be on my way there is a storm coming, I just need to find out how far from home I am. If you will just give me a minute, I will be off your property. “ He. "What?" she asked."I will not have you here, alone, with no friends, going through this."She looked astonished."But you can't stay here, and I can't go back with you. My doctor is here. Everything is here. I already have her crib and all kinds of other things!" Come with me," I ordered."Where?" she asked, confused."We're going to tell my parents about all this right now," I said.Her eyes went round. "Bobby, honey, I don't think that's a good idea," she said, her voice shaky."I will NOT have you. When Captain O'Brien from the Nassau was released from medical and called me, it was a concubine who put the call through." What?" Linda said, finally reacting to something. "I've never heard of such a thing!"The admiral laughed. "Well, naval ships do use concubines for scut work and as help on damage control teams during and after battles. I'm not sure which ship or admiral started that, but it's now standard on all naval ships. However, this is the first time I've heard of concubines working. Are my words of submission to take any particular form?”“None, child; I am sure you can come up with appropriate wording. But you must not misunderstand me. I have not ordered you to do anything. I have merely told me what you must do if you are to cause my immortal manhood to shrink, thus saving your life. The choice is entirely yours.” It had been a long time since Hermes had been born yesterday, and he knew exactly what Francis was about. It angered him exceedingly that this mortal would try.
