This is a work of fiction, it deals with adult themes and topics, and should not be read by anyone under the age of consent. I hope it comes out well as I'm not sure how it will look. I reserve all rights to the story. Stephanie lead the young girl down the hall, they stopped at a door where Stephanie knocked, then opened the door and entered. The young girl followed her in timidly. "This is one of our four sound stages, this is where all the writers ideas come to life, and get captured for posterity," Stephanie told her. The young girl looked around the large empty room. "It doesn't look that impressive," she said sadly. Stephanie smiled. "That's because it hasn't been used recently, this is were we filmed the movie that brought us to prominence, and was the first adult film to go over 100 million copies," she said proudly. The young girl looked around carefully. "It's hard to believe that this is the place," she said softly. Stephanie smiled as she walked over to the curtain, she pulled a lever, and the curtain pulled back to show a metal wall. Stephanie pushed a button in the wall, part of it slid up, and they found themselves looking down at the planet they were presumably orbiting. The young girls eyes grew wide. "I can't believe it! That's the planet from the movie," she said in amazement. Stephanie smiled. "The writer had a few other talents that he kept secret about, most of the special effects were designed, and done through his wizardry," she said proudly. The young girl looked out the window. "I can't wait to meet him," she said breathlessly. Stephanie smiled. "You already have. He has another job here, one that allows him his freedom, and everyone respects his privacy." The young girl looked at her curiously. "Why tell me all this?" "He has had a few problems since that movie came out," Stephanie told her. "He still writes, most of his stuff is still unfinished, but he gives some outlines to the other writers and they've done justice to his ideas. We listen to his comments about young actresses that come along, those that he comments favorably on we invite for an interview, and he says yes or no on them." The young girl swallowed hard. "You mean he's seen me?" Stephanie nodded. "Yes. Even though your movie won't be released until next week, he's seen your performance, and we merely await his decision." The young girl turned to look out at the retreating planet. "How? How did he get his hands on something that they've kept under wraps?" Stephanie chuckled. "I don't know, nor do I care to know, and neither should you. This isn't about espionage, this is about the opportunity to do good work, and enjoy yourself as well. He said you had talent, not just in the sex scenes, but real talent as an actress. Some of our ladies, as well as the men, have lucrative contracts for real pictures." The girl looked at her curiously. "That's not what the other producers say." Stephanie started to say something, then stiffened as she looked past her, and swallowed hard. The girl turned to see a man in uniform approaching them, she felt a shiver run up her spine as his eyes brushed hers, and she looked at Stephanie. Stephanie glanced at her. "Be very careful around this man, they call him the Iceman, and I'll explain later," she said nervously. Stephanie stepped up as the man approached. "Good morning Michael. How are you today?" Michael stopped near her. "I'm doing okay, Stephanie. Who's the young lady?" Stephanie smiled. "A prospect we've invited over for a chat," she said pleasantly. Michael's eyes bored into the young girl. "A looker. Can she act?" Stephanie shrugged. "Why not find out?" Michael gave Stephanie an icy glare. "You know I don't do that." The young girl reacted without thinking. "You do that poorly?" Michael turned to her with a look that turned her blood to ice water. "Don't push," he said coldly. The girl drew herself to full height. "I don't think you can act at all," she said haughtily. For a minute Michael said nothing. "Stephanie, create a scene," he said in a hard voice. Stephanie regarded them silently for a moment. "The scene is this: you two are lovers, she has just had a brush with death, and a fight over her walking into a dangerous situation. Her name is Lucia, yours is Stephan. Michael shall begin." Michael took a deep breath. "Damn it Lucia, don't you understand why I act this way?" he said with a touch of pain in his voice. The girl looked at him curiously. "Stephan. You have always hidden your true self from me. How am I to know if you love me or are just using me to your own ends?" "It is the nature of the beast you toy with, Lucia," he told her as he half turned from her. "Words are lost to us, we know not how to say that which you can understand as we intend it to be, and we are lost for any way of truly letting our feelings be shown." The girl stepped up to him. "You seek to hide yourself again, Stephan. Are words your only means of communication?" she asked as she turned his face to hers. Michael looked down into her eyes. "Woman, your touch makes my blood boil. I am enveloped in a raging fire that burns hot enough to sear my soul, even now I must control myself lest I forget, and ravish you where you stand," he told her coarsely. The girl could feel the tension of his body. "Perhaps that is what I wish," she said with a soft smile. Michael's hand suddenly grabbed her hair to tilt her face upwards to his. "Then perhaps I should quench these fires that torment me," he said as he looked into her eyes. The girl was amazed at the fire in his eyes, there was no acting here, and she realized that there were fires that needed quenching. She snaked her hand down to cup his crotch, feeling the hardening lump there, and she licked her lips temptingly. She closed her eyes as his lips found hers, their tongues dueled as they explored each others mouths, and his arm pulled her to him. Stephanie watched in amazement as they clawed at each other, she wasn't sure if they were acting or not, and she fought the urge to stop them. The girl trembled as his lips caressed her throat, she could feel the heat that emanated from him, and she willed him to continue until both of their fires were quenched. Michael slipped the straps of her dress off her shoulders, he tugged on the sides, and bared her breasts. Stephanie watched as the two became lost in their characters, she realized that if she didn't stop them they would consummate their love, and perhaps ruin their lives. She walked over to where they were standing. "Cut, Michael." Michael looked up at her, then he stepped back from the girl, and took a deep breath to calm himself. The young girl opened her eyes, she looked over at Stephanie, and then at Michael. Michael watched her lick her lips. "Shall we take this up at a later date?" she asked him huskily. Michael smiled ruefully. "I guess I forgot to mention my three years in the Drama Club at college. Stephanie, remember to shut the shield," he told her before walking away. Stephanie watched as he disappeared into the shadows, she turned back to look at the young girl, and saw the hungry look in her eyes. "Forget about him, Lisa," she told the girl. "No matter what you think he felt, he has no emotions that we've been able to discover." Lisa shook her head. "There are emotions there, Stephanie, they run very deep and I think they are very strong. This one will bear watching, whether by me or someone else is the question, and I'll join if I get an offer." Stephanie shook her head. "Lisa, the cops won't even mess with him if he's doing 140 down Hollywood Blvd, and his car's on fire. Hell, even the fucking gangs are scared of this guy, and won't touch his car if he leaves it running in the middle of the street with no one around. Do you understand what I'm getting at?" Lisa nodded. "I understand exactly what you're saying, but it doesn't change anything, and I'm still going to pursue the matter with him." Stephanie shook her head as she closed the shield. "It's time to move on." Lisa nodded as she pulled her dress up to cover herself. "Did you know about the Drama Club?" Stephanie shook her head. "No, that was a surprise. We knew he went to college, but as to what he studied, or extra curricular activities were still a mystery." There was a five year contract waiting for Lisa when they got back to the office, Lisa smiled as she read it over, and signed on the indicated lines. Stephanie was amazed that she didn't argue over the salary, or any of the premises of the contract, and that she was smiling as she read the contract. They gave her the necessary paperwork to cover taxes, payroll deductions, medical insurance, and vehicle identification stickers. Lisa still had a smile on her face as she walked out to her car, she put the sticker on, climbed in and headed for home. She remembered the feel of his body against hers, the way he touched her, and what he smelled like. She made it home without realizing she'd driven there, she parked the car, and headed up to her apartment. She dropped her purse on the couch after locking the door, then walked out on the balcony, and stood looking over the city. Her eyes scanned the builds. "I know you're out there some where, Iceman, and I can't wait to get you," she thought silently. She headed into the bedroom, stripped out of her clothes, and admired herself in the full length mirror. Her skin was lightly tanned with no lines, her auburn hair hung down to her shoulders, and framed a childish face. She ran her hands up her sides, then they cupped and lifted her melon like breasts. She bit her lip as she lightly pinched her stiff nipples. "God, you made me so horny today, Iceman. I wanted you so badly," she told him mentally. She allowed her hand to glide down over her flat stomach, through the light curls of her mons, and caressed the damp opening down there. She shivered as she allowed her fingers to graze her most sensitive areas, then she gasped as they slipped inside her, and sent her reeling from the pleasure. She collapsed on the bed afterwards, sighing contentedly as she savored the waning pleasure, and she wondered just how big he was. She sat up on the bed. "I could sure use your talents right now, Iceman," she told the empty room. She sighed again as she stood, stretched, and padded into the bathroom. She drew some nice hot water for a bath, climbed in when it was full, and let the warmth drain the tension away. After bathing she threw on a light robe, turned on some soft music, poured herself some wine and went out to watch the sunset. She wondered what Michael was doing now, if he was enjoying another woman, or watching the same sunset that she was. She went inside when she started getting cold, turned to the fireplace to start a fire, and found that one was already going. She stopped in confusion. "When did I start that?" she asked herself. She shook her head as she started for it, then the smell hit her, fresh meat cooking and she knew she wasn't alone. She headed for the kitchen, found the pot roast in the oven, and noticed that it was just about done. She noticed that the table was set for two, there were candles on the table as well, and a vase holding three roses was the center piece. A bottle of wine as there also, she checked the label, and noticed that it was a very expensive one. "I think you'll find that it is very good with red meat," a shadow told her. "It's not the best that it's been but it's acceptable." Lisa smiled as she recognized the voice. "Welcome to my humble home, Iceman." He chuckled as he came out of the shadows. "I hope you don't mind my making myself at home." Lisa shook her head as she poured them both some wine. "Not at all. As a matter of fact, I was thinking about you earlier, and hoping that you'd stop by." Michael accepted the glass from her. "I know. I watched you at the mirror," he told her before tasting the wine. Lisa blushed. "Did you like what you saw?" He smiled at her. "I'm still here, aren't I?" Lisa chuckled. "Do you want to eat first or work up an appetite?" Michael smiled as he set his wine down. "I leave that up to you." Lisa smiled as she walked over to the stove, she turned off the heat, and turned back to face him. He swept her up in his arms, carried her out of the kitchen, and into the bedroom before setting her down. Lisa looked down at the white fur that covered the bed, candles burned around the room, and she could smell a lingering incense in the air. Lisa turned to look at him, she watched as he opened her robe, and let it fall to the floor. She stood there as he let his eyes roam her naked curves. "Exquisite," he murmured softly. Lisa trembled as she watched him strip, she reached out to run her fingers through his chest hairs, and she watched as he opened his belt. Her eyes widened as his pants hit the floor, she hadn't expected him to be so large, and for a moment there was fear. Lust quickly overcame fear, she reached for him, kissing him and caressing him to fullness. Michael let his hands explored her body as well, she moaned every time he touched one of her special spots, and she found she had a few she didn't know about. He drove her wild with his hands, then laid her on the bed, joined her and satisfied her desires completely. Lisa curled up next to him. "You are one hell of a man, Michael. How have you managed to stay single?" Michael glanced at her, he continued to look at the ceiling, and she finally propped herself up to look at him. She looked at his impassive face. "Are you married, Michael?" She watched as he got out of bed. "What do you think?" Lisa sat there watching him as he got dressed. "I didn't say you had to leave." He sighed as he pulled on his pants. "There are things I still have to do." Lisa glanced at the clock. "It's one in the morning. What can you do at this hour?" Michael smiled ruefully. "You'd be surprised at just what all is going on." Lisa covered herself with the fur. "Will you come back?" "Tonight? No," he told her. "Another night? I can't say for sure." Lisa was silent for a moment. "You still haven't answered my question. Are you married?" Michael said nothing as he slipped on his shoes, he stood up, and walked out of the room without answering her. Lisa listened to the sound of the door closing behind him, part of her said that he was married, and another said he wasn't. She lay there thinking about it for a while, it made no sense when you considered the way he acted, and she finally gave up on it. The next day she received a script via courier, inside the script was a note saying they would be starting in ten days, and that she needed to learn the highlighted lines. She spent all day learning her lines, at night she waited for Michael's return, and each night she went to bed alone. The night before shooting was to start she had trouble getting to sleep, she kept waking up, and was about to give up when she heard something in the living room. She slipped out of bed, slipped on a robe, and quietly padded down the hall to the living room. She was surprised to see a fire going, she looked at the table to find a bottle of wine there, and she heard the stereo start playing some Big Band music. Lisa stepped out into the living room. "Michael?" She watched as a rose slowly rose from behind the couch, she smiled as she walked around the couch, and found him laying naked on the floor. He smiled up at her. "Couldn't sleep?" She smiled as she knelt down next to him. "No, too worried about tomorrow." He sat up, poured them some wine, and handed her a glass. She sipped it cautiously. "Mmmmm, this is wonderful. How did you know?" Michael smiled ruefully. "It's my business to know everything," he told her jovially. Lisa watched as he sat up, he wrapped his arms around her, and heard her contented sigh. Lisa sipped her wine. "How can you be such a wonderful lover, know all there is to know about treating a lady right, and still stay single?" Michael chuckled. "I never asked anyone to marry me." Lisa sighed as her eyes closed. "Maybe I should be the one asking," she murmured sleepily. Michael took the glass from her hand as she drifted off to sleep, he finished his wine as he held her, and finally slipped out from under her. He banked the fire, dressed himself, and left the apartment. Lisa was woken by the phone, she picked it up, and said hello. A soft chuckle greeted her. "Good morning sleepy head, time to get up, and face the world," Michael said. It took Lisa a minute to realize just who it was. "Michael, what time is it?" "It's eight in the morning, love," he told her. "We start shooting at ten and you'll need to be here." Lisa sighed as she rolled onto her back. "It was so nice having your arms wrapped around me." He chuckled softly. "Don't forget the fire and the wine, that may have had something to do with it, and probably the fact you were tired." Lisa shook her head. "Nope. I needed to have someone's arms wrapped around me, just the way you did, and that is what put me to sleep. I'm just sorry I went to sleep so fast," she said huskily. Michael chuckled. "Save it for the screen, sweetness," he told her before hanging up. Lisa let her hand slip between her legs. "God, that man makes me horny," she thought as her finger caressed her wetness. She brought herself off twice, then climbed into the shower, and cleaned up. She got dressed, grabbed everything, and headed for the studio. She didn't see Michael when she pulled in, there was someone else there, and she felt a little disappointed. She parked her car in the appropriate spot, locked the doors, and headed into the studio. She headed over to sound stage three, found out where her quarters were, and went to see what type of outfits she had to wear. Lisa slipped into her first outfit, a red satin gown, black lace crotchless panties, open cup bra, garter belt, and black nylons. She headed out to see the director, to get her instructions, and walk through the performance. The director put her through her paces, nodded his satisfaction, and proceeded to shoot her scenes. Lisa went back to her room after the shooting was over, she knelt on the chair, and started taking off her makeup. She still wore the underwear, but not much else, and she liked the way it turned her on. She was washing her face when she heard a familiar voice. "Now that's what I call a greeting," Michael said jovially. Lisa splashed her face with water. "I'm glad you like it." She heard him walking over to her as she grabbed a towel, she started patting her face, and wondered why he was so quiet. She found out a second later as his hands grabbed her hips, he pulled her backwards, and impaled her on his hardness. Lisa shuddered at the sudden penetration, she bit the towel, and muffled that sounds of her crest. Lisa looked at him in the mirror. "Fuck me you bastard," she whispered. Michael smiled as he started ramming into her, he reached under her, and started tweaking her nipples as well. Lisa held the towel in her teeth, all she could do was shudder as he pounded into her viciously, and drove her from one crest to another. She tossed her head as she felt his thumb brushing her anus, she wondered if he wanted to take her anally, and looked back at him. "Not that way," she panted. "Not now. I've never had it that way." Michael nodded, he closed his eyes to concentrate on the pleasure, and soon erupted inside her. Lisa looked back at him as they cleaned up. "You're full of surprises, aren't you?" Michael smiled. "I'm a man of mystery, Lisa, and I'm always full of surprises." Lisa sat down heavily in the chair. "I could really fall for a man like you. You're a great lover, you know how to make a woman feel like a woman, and you're very handsome." Michael chuckled as he shook his head. "Sorry, sweetness. That would be very detrimental to your career." Lisa looked over at the man who opened her door. "The Director would like to see you, Lisa." Lisa nodded. "I'll be there shortly," she told him. Lisa turned back to where Michael was standing, he smiled at her, and headed out the door. Lisa sighed wearily, then threw a robe on, and headed out to where the Director was waiting. The man smiled as she came over. "You did quite well in your scenes, Lisa, and every one is very pleased with you. The producers were wondering just what type of scenes you'd like to be doing in the future." Lisa looked at him blankly. "I hadn't really thought about it, there are a few people I'd like to work with, and that's about all I've really given any thought to." The man nodded. "Get me a list of who you want to work with, what kind of sex you're willing to go with, and we'll see what we can do." Lisa smiled. "I'll have it on your desk first thing in the morning," she told him happily. The man smiled, then turned to the people who were standing there listening, and yelled about not being able to make a movie with everyone doing nothing. When Lisa got home, she sat down with some paper, and started writing names. She started to add Michael's name to the list, then realized that she didn't know his last name, and she left it blank. She started thinking about what type of sex turned her on, she wrote down what she knew she liked, and put a question mark by the others. She wondered if Michael would be willing to help her learn about them, if she would like to learn about them, and she marked off what she didn't think she'd like. The hair on the back of her neck suddenly stood up, she turned around, and found someone standing in the shadows. She cocked her head. "Michael?" She stood up slowly when there was no response, she realized from the height of the shadow that it wasn't Michael, and she was very afraid of just who it was. She was edging towards the door when they finally spoke. "There is no need to be afraid, Lisa," the woman said softly. Lisa froze at the sound of her voice. "How do you know my name?" There was a soft chuckle. "We always know who is involved with Michael." Lisa felt a shiver run up her spine. "Who are you?" "Just a friend," the woman replied softly. "You have no need to be afraid of us." Lisa looked at her curiously. "Who is "WE"? Where and who are the others?" Lisa watched as the woman stepped into the light, she wore a cloak that covered her, and a hood that half hid her face. The woman looked at Lisa closely. "You are more beautiful than we were told you were." Lisa blushed at the comment. "Who or what are you?" The woman smiled jovially. "Just call me Arty. We are, helpers, keeping an eye on how things are going." Lisa felt a tingling in her belly, she knew what she wanted to do now that the fear had subsided, and she wondered if that was why the woman came. Lisa walked over to where the woman stood. "Did you come here for some special reason?" Arty nodded. "The man you love is dangerous, he is involved with things that are, shall we say important, and you place your life in jeopardy by being with him." Lisa stopped in front of her. "Is that why you're here tonight?" Arty nodded. "We came to warn you of your danger, that you might....What are you doing?" she asked as Lisa opened her cloak. Lisa said nothing as she looked at the white gown underneath the cloak, she could tell that nothing was being worn underneath it, and she sank to her knees in front of her. Lisa smiled up at Arty as she ran her hands up her legs, she lifted the hem of the dress, and exposed the dark patch of fur she sought. Arty watched as Lisa lowered her face to the dark fur, she allowed her legs to be pressed open, and felt Lisa's warm breath on her flesh. Lisa watched Arty's face as she snaked out her tongue, she tasted Arty's sex, and watched as she trembled with excitement. Arty closed her eyes as the pleasure washed through her, she steadied herself by placing a hand on Lisa's head, and she pressed herself against her exploring tongue. Lisa smiled as she realized just how excited Arty was, she stood up, took her hand and lead her over to the couch. Lisa sat her down, then knelt between her spread legs, and continued her explorations. Lisa discovered that she really enjoyed pleasing another woman, it had been one of the things she had put a question mark by, and she made a mental note to check it off. Lisa reached up to pull the gown away from Arty's breasts, she was amazed at how inviting they looked, and succumbed to the temptation to suckle there. Arty shivered as she allowed Lisa to do as she willed, she loved the feelings that she was receiving, and finally decided to return the favor. She pulled Lisa up for a kiss, her hands caressed Lisa's breasts, and their tongues dueled as they kissed. Arty opened Lisa's robe to allow better access to her body, her hand dipped down to explore Lisa's sex, and she found that it was dripping wet. Arty pulled back from the kiss, she pushed Lisa to the floor, and dived for her wetness. Lisa gasped as Arty began her assault, she jumped each time her tongue touched her trigger, and gushed more of her juices for Arty to swallow. Arty quickly made the connection between the two, she began to concentrate of the little nubbin of flesh, and Lisa went wild under her ministrations. Lisa screamed as she crested, she pulled Arty's mouth tighter to her sex, and flooded it with her juices. Arty drank them down hungrily, she sucked up all the juice, and went for more. Lisa began pulling her around so that she could also satisfy her thirst, and Arty speedily assumed the position. That was when Michael showed up, he found them that way, and smiled as he watched Lisa feasting on the other woman's flesh. He smiled as he watched them quietly, he thought he recognized the woman with Lisa, but he wasn't sure. Lisa just happened to see him standing there, she motioned for him to join them, and returned to what she was doing. Michael stripped quickly, he walked over to where they were laying, and filled Arty with one quick thrust. Arty shuddered through her crest, she started bucking against Michael, and redoubled her efforts on Lisa. Lisa alternated between Arty's trigger, Michael's balls, and his anus. Michael reached under Arty to caress her breasts, he pinched her nipples, and pounded into her furiously. Arty started cresting almost continuously, she couldn't catch her breath, and finally collapsed in exhaustion. Lisa wasted no time in crawling onto Michael, she filled herself with his hardness, and started riding him hard. Michael filled his hands with her flesh, he began to knead her breasts, and pinch the stiff nipples. Lisa tossed her head as the pleasure grew to where she could barely stand it, then she felt herself slip over the edge, and she collapsed on top of Michael. He held her as she caught her breath, then he kissed her as he rolled over on top of her, and began to slowly stroke into her. Lisa sighed as she enjoyed the feeling of his body on hers, she wrapped her legs around his waist, and pulled him down for a kiss. Michael continued at a slow pace, he wanted to make the pleasure last for a while, and he knew that she enjoyed what he was doing to her. Michael looked down into her face, he could see the love she felt for him, and he wondered at his own feelings for her. Lisa looked up into his eyes. "I love you wild man," she whispered to him. He stopped moving. "I wish I could say the same." She smiled up at him. "I know, Michael. I still want you as my lover, I need to feel you inside me, and I want you to help me explore my sexuality." Michael nodded. "I will help in whatever way I can." Lisa kissed him tenderly. "I want you to take me anally." Michael raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?" Lisa nodded. "You're the only man I want to teach me." He was silent for a moment. "Okay." Lisa smiled as she rolled over to present him his target, he slipped his finger into her wetness, and started spreading it around her back door. Lisa shivered as he teased her, then she gasped as his finger slipped into her back door, then he started working it in and out. Lisa reached back to pull her cheeks apart, allowing him free access to her anus, and she came as he slipped a second finger into her. Her eyes were glazed over when he finally positioned himself for penetration, she shivered as she felt him stretching her open, and slipped his hardness inside her. Michael watched her face for any sign of pain, he allowed her to get used to his size before pushing forward again, and burying himself fully in her rectum. Lisa was panting by the time he was fully in her, she could feel the heat radiating from his flesh, and it was pushing her towards the edge. Michael gritted his teeth at the pleasure he was receiving, he slowly pulled back until just the crown remained inside her, and filled her up again. Lisa crested hard as he moved within her, she felt a different kind of pleasure at his invasion, and she knew why some women like it this way. Michael could feel his control slipping, he knew he was very near the edge, and he warned her of his impending eruption. Lisa licked her lips. "Do it. I want to feel your seed inside me!" Michael closed his eyes as he concentrated on the pleasure, he felt himself slip over the edge, and filled her bowels with his hot seed. Lisa screamed as she crested, she held him to her as he pumped his seed into her, and she gasped for breath afterwards. Michael was breathing hard as he recovered. "I'm going to pull out now." Lisa shook her head. "No! Start moving inside me again, move slowly until you're hard, and then really give it to me!" Michael nodded as he started moving, he could feel her muscles rippling along his shaft, and he quickly recovered his hardness. Lisa mewled with delight, she began bucking against him, driving him into her with more and more force. Michael grabbed her hips as he started meeting her thrusts with his own, they were covered with sweat, and Lisa kept urging him to go faster. Lisa was beyond caring about the world, she was cresting almost continuously, and she felt something building that she'd never felt before. When it finally hit, it took her off into oblivion, and she went totally limp as he crested again. When Lisa finally opened her eyes she found herself wrapped in Michaels arms, she looked around the room, and found Arty sitting on the couch looking at them. Lisa smiled at her weakly. "How long have I been out?" "About fourteen hours," Arty told her. "It would seem that you wore him out." Lisa smiled as she looked down into Michael's content face. "He's one hell of a lover, plus he cares whether he can show it or not, and he can't hide his feeling from me." Arty cocked her head. "If you think that you know all about him you're wrong, Lisa. There are things about him you can never know." Lisa looked at Arty curiously. "How would you know?" Arty chuckled. "Nice try, Lisa. But I will tell you this, I have known him for a long time, and he is not all that you have seen. There is more to him than you can imagine, more than you can possibly hope to learn, and things you need not concern yourself with." Lisa sighed as she looked down at him. "Is he your son?" Arty smiled down at her. "No, he is not my son." Lisa looked at her curiously. "Then what is the connection?" Arty chuckled. "He is doing things for us, things that do not concern you, and you should give him as much room as you can." Lisa looked down at Michael. "I'm not sure that I can, Arty, I love him too much." Lisa looked over at the couch, Arty was gone, and Lisa wondered where she went. She looked back down at Michael, she wondered just what he was involved in, and who the group was that he was working for. She laid back down with him, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep. When she woke up again Michael was gone. She rolled onto her back, sighing as she looked up at the ceiling, and wondered just what was so special about him that she couldn't stay away from him. Some of it was the way he looked at her, some was the way he made love to her, and part of it she couldn't explain. She thought about the part she couldn't explain, there was a draw there that couldn't be denied, and she wasn't sure that she understood just what it was. She finally gave up trying to figure it out, she headed for the bathroom, and took a long hot bath to sooth the reminders of their love making. She thought about what the producer had asked her, she was sure of what she would agree to, and what she wanted no part of. She realized again that she had failed to get Michael's last name, then smiled as she realized she could just put down his position, and hope that they could get him interested for her. She dried herself off, then got dressed, and headed for her list. She was surprised to see Michael's name crossed off, she picked up the list to look at it, and found a note underneath it. She smiled as she noticed that it was from Michael, the smile faded as she read the note, and sat down in stunned silence. She read through the letter again, then dropped it on the table, and turned to look out the window. "I don't understand it," she said to herself. "Why would he just say it was over without going into detail? Unless it has to do with the group. Who are they? What do they want?." Lisa poured herself some wine, she walked out onto the balcony, and looked out at the city. Something about Arty bothered her, was it the way that she dressed, or that she talked to her like a child? Whatever else there was about Arty, one thing was for sure, Arty had the body of someone used to hardship but she still retained her figure. There was something about Arty that was familiar, something that didn't quite fit, but she couldn't figure it out. "I've seen her face somewhere before," she thought to herself. "In another lifetime?" The truth of her statement hit her. "Yes, in another life time, in another place, and Michael was involved then as well," she realized. "She hasn't aged since then," the thought came to Lisa out of the blue. "Michael hasn't changed either, and there was someone else involved." Lisa stood there willing herself to remember, but the more she thought about it the more it slipped away, and she gave up on it in exasperation. Lisa looked at the time, then turned around, and headed back into the apartment. She poured herself another drink, sat down in front of the fire, and thawed herself out. She glanced over at the calendar on the wall, there was something important about the day before, but she couldn't think of what it was and dismissed it as unimportant. Lisa sighed as she sat there, she let her mind wander, and found herself reliving the episode with Arty and Michael. She let her hand drift down to her wetness, her fingers slipped inside her, and she brought herself off a couple of times. As she lay there afterwards she wondered if Arty might be willing to take Michael's place as her lover. The thought was not unappealing, she had enjoyed pleasing her, and she wondered if she could do what she did with Michael. Lisa smiled as she decided to try it, she went into her bedroom, prepared a little surprise for Arty, and began to concentrate on calling her mentally. After a while she found that she had fallen asleep, she stretched the stiffness out of her muscles, and froze as she heard the sound of someone coming towards the bedroom. She waited as the caped figure entered her room, she smiled when she recognized the caped figure, and knew that it had worked. Arty smiled down at her. "I see you finally figured out how to call us." Lisa smiled. "It was an experiment that just happened to work." Arty chuckled as she sat down on the edge of the bed. "So what can I do for you?" Lisa smiled as she crawled over to her. "Well, it would seem that Michael has tired of me for a time," she said as she opened Arty's cloak. Arty raised an eyebrow. "So what does that have to do with me?" she asked as she gazed at Lisa's naked body. Lisa smiled as she pushed Arty back on the bed. "I need a lover to help me put out my fires, I remembered the fun we had the other day, and I thought you might be interested in the job," she explained as she stripped her. Arty was breathing hard as she watched Lisa tease her body, she closed her eyes as Lisa's tongue delved into her wetness, and she gasped in delight. Lisa smiled to herself as she drank down the sweet juices, she enjoyed watching Arty go wild beneath her, and wondered if she was the same way. Arty ground her mons into Lisa's face, she loved the way her tongue seemed to find all the sensitive spots, and soon crested from her ministrations. Lisa rolled her onto her stomach, she again started to feast on her charms, and Arty just closed her eyes to enjoy the feelings. Arty's eyes flew open when she felt Lisa's tongue probing her anus, the electrical shock sent a charge through her, and she crested hard. Lisa smiled to herself as she drank down the heavy flow, she reached under the bed, and pulled out the surprise she had hidden there. Arty was going crazy as Lisa tongued the ring of her anus, she groaned in disappointment as her tongue was withdrawn, and bucked back to try to find it. Arty gasped as she felt the vibrator pushing against her anus, she bit her lip as it was pushed through the tight ring, and slipped into her bowels. Lisa began to lick her wet folds as she pumped the vibrator into Arty's ass, then she flipped the switch to the lowest setting, and Arty screamed as she crested. Arty collapsed on the bed, her inner muscles held the vibrator three quarters of the way into her, and she could feel another crest building. Lisa grabbed hold of the vibrator, she began moving it again, and slipped two fingers into Arty's wetness. Arty began bucking back against her, meeting Lisa's thrusts, and Lisa flipped the switch to the next setting. Arty's eyes rolled up as the vibrations pushed her over the edge again, she fell onto the bed, and lay there gasping. Lisa watched her face as the vibrator continued to buzz in her anus, she could tell that she was building again, and watched as she crested hard. Arty turned to look back at her. "No more, please, turn it off!" Lisa switched the vibrator off, she left it inside her, and watched as Arty fell asleep on the bed. Lisa curled up with her, she removed the vibrator, and went to sleep. Lisa had the strangest dream that night, it involved Michael, Arty, another man, and a woman that seemed to be supervising everything. Michael had been making love to Arty, then the second man had shown up, and the two men began to fight. That was when the woman showed up, she stopped the fight for a few minutes, then turned it into a test of strength, and Michael won after a long time. The other man began complaining that Michael had cheated, the older woman merely sat there looking at him quietly for a moment, and then told him he had lost a fair fight. The man turned to Michael, he proposed another test, and Michael refused him. That's when he attacked Michael, he almost caught him off guard, but Michael recovered too fast. The older woman yelled at them to stop, then suddenly they were pulled apart by unseen forces, and the woman raged at the attacker. Lisa watched as the attacker disappeared in a column of flame, then the woman was speaking to Michael, and he was listening calmly. Lisa couldn't understand what was being said, though the language sounded familiar, and she wondered just what was going on. She saw Michael blanch at something that was said, Lisa listened carefully as it was repeated, and Michael bowed his head reluctantly. The woman waved her hand, Michael vanished into thin air, and the woman turned to Arty. The two women stood talking for a while, then the older one disappeared, and Arty was the only one left. That's when Lisa woke up with a start, she looked around the empty room, and collapsed back on the bed. She lay there looking up at the ceiling. "Was that what this was about? Where were they? Who was the older woman with the magic?" She fell asleep still wondering about the dream. She was kept busy over the next month, filming was almost constant since she'd told the Producer what she was willing to do. She enjoyed working with all the big names, she really enjoyed the lesbian scenes, but she still kept looking for Michael. Sometimes she felt like he was there, watching her performances, and wanting to enjoy her body again. But every time she looked he wasn't there, she asked if anyone had seen him, and no one had. She tried summoning him the way she had done with Arty, but to no avail, and she began to wonder if she had dreamed him. The morning after her fourth film had been completed she woke up sick, she called in to the studio, and told them she wasn't able to keep anything down. The Producer told her to take it easy, that the film could wait until she was better, and to call in when she was feeling better. She felt better by midafternoon, was able to eat that night, but woke up sick again the next morning. She wondered if it was the flu, rejected the idea because she didn't have a fever, and made herself some soup. That night she went out to get groceries, picked up some ice cream, and finished it off before she went to bed. She was sick again the next morning as well, she called her mother, and asked what she knew of that she was allergic to. Her mother asked her a few questions, listened to the answers, and told her to go see the doctor immediately. Lisa made the appointment, then went see him, and he ran a few simple tests on her. The doctor sighed as he came in with the results. "I see you work in the Adult film industry, are you an actress, or one of the support personnel?" Lisa looked a him curiously. "I'm an actress. Why is that important?" she asked as he frowned. He took a deep breath. "Because in a couple of months you won't be able to work. You're pregnant. About eight weeks." Lisa counted backwards in her head, it was before she had done any films, and she knew exactly who the father was. Lisa looked up at him quickly. "Are you sure about how long?" The doctor chuckled. "I can put it to within a couple of hours, young lady, and it's almost eight weeks and twelve hours as of now." Lisa smiled happily. "So what now?" He chuckled again. "Now we begin you on a diet that's good for the baby, schedule you for regular checkups, and see to it that both of you are health." Lisa listened carefully as he explained what she need to stay away from, what she needed to stock up on, and when her next appointment was. Lisa thought about Michael on the way home, she wondered how she would get hold of him, and whether she could tell him about his child. Lisa decided that she needed to talk to Arty first, to get her advise, and maybe have her get in touch with Michael. She kept wondering about the older woman with the magic, how was she involved with Michael, and how would she react to the news of her pregnancy. When she got home she called her mother, told her the news, and said she was going to try to talk to the father about what to do. Her mother told her to call if she needed anything, that she was always welcome at home, and that she'd be keeping in touch. After hanging up Lisa headed into the bedroom, she closed her eyes, and concentrated on reaching Arty. After a while she fell asleep, as she always did, and woke to find Arty standing by the bed. Arty smiled down at her. "Are your passions high again?" Lisa smiled up at her as she sat up. "No, my passions are not high, Arty. I need to see Michael immediately, if not sooner, and talk to him on a matter of great importance." Arty's smile faded. "May I ask the reason why?" Lisa regarded her silently for a moment. "I carry his child." Arty looked at her in amazement. "You are sure it is his?" Lisa nodded. "The Doctor pinpointed it to within a few hours of conception." Arty nodded. "I will have him stop over." Lisa nodded as she looked up at Arty. "What was the reason for the fight? Were they fighting over you?" Arty raised an eyebrow. "What fight are you talking about?" Lisa smiled. "The one that was presided over by the woman with the magic." Arty looked at her suspiciously. "Describe the woman." Lisa described her as best she could, then she recalled what the woman had said, and repeated it for Arty. Arty paled at the words, she took a deep breath, and shook her head. "I will return shortly with Michael," she told her. "Do not go anywhere until I have returned." Lisa nodded as she lay back down on the bed, she closed her eyes, and went back to sleep. When she opened her eyes again she found herself looking up at Michael, he smiled down at her, and gave her a tender kiss. He helped her sit up. "I understand that you have something important to tell me." Lisa nodded. "I haven't been using protection, Michael, I forgot about it and now I carry your child." Michael looked down at her curiously. "Are you sure it's mine?" Lisa nodded. "The doctor pinpointed the day, the day we did our scene at the studio, and you were the only man I had." Michael nodded. "Then I am the father. What do you want to do about it?" Lisa bit her lower lip. "I know you probably can't marry me, that I understand and accept, but I want to keep the child." Michael nodded, he looked over to his left, and said something that she didn't understand. Lisa looked over to see the woman from the dream, Arty was there also, as were some other people she didn't know and she figured that this was the group he worked for. Lisa heard the woman from the dream ask him a question, she returned Michael's gaze, and knew from that look that he loved her. Michael drew a deep breath, he answered the woman with a nod, and she turned to look at Lisa. Lisa returned her gaze, she was scared of her, but wouldn't let that stop her. The woman smiled after a few minutes. "I like her, she has spirit, and the determination of a survivor," she told Michael. Lisa licked her lips. "Who are you?" The woman smiled. "I have many names, little one, but you can call me Mother." Michael smiled down at Lisa. "She is my mother, Lisa, and she can be yours if you are willing to marry me." Lisa looked at him in amazement for a moment, then she recovered, nodded and kissed him. Lisa clung to him as she cried with joy, then there was a sudden coldness, and everything around her changed. She looked around to see only openness, a light ground fog covered everything, and only three of them stood there. Michael looked around. "It has begun." Lisa clung to him in confusion. "What is going on?!" Michael sighed heavily. "My brother will be here shortly, he was banished until the time that I fell in love, and a child was conceived by my lover. Now he comes to challenge me to one last fight, to restore himself to our world, or to die for all eternity." Lisa looked up at him. "Who are you?" Michael received a look from his mother. "Tell her. She has the right to know." Michael nodded as he looked down at Lisa. "I told you I worked for people, these are the people I work for, and they are my family. I am the son of Hecate." Lisa could tell by his eyes that he wasn't lying. "Then that means Arty is actually Artemis, the Huntress!" Michael silenced her as he saw the mists stir, they watched as the second man from the dream came into view, and stood there regarding them. The two men began to slowly move towards each other, they had eyes only for each other, and Lisa felt her heart pounding in her chest. A table rose from the mists, on it were two swords, and each man took one. Hecate spoke to both of them, telling them that there were no rules save one, and that was no magic was to be used. Both men nodded, then they set themselves for the fight, and it began. The men circled each other warily, there were a few test blows to check for weaknesses, none were found and they settled into what was sure to be a long fight. The ring of steel was the only sound to be heard, both men were equally matched, and it was even money as to who would win. The speed with which the blows came increased, sparks flew from the swords as they clashed, and both men seemed oblivious to everything but each other. Lisa began sending Michael her strength, her love, and everything else she could send him. Michael's brother soon found himself fighting defensively, he couldn't understand how it happened, and started using dirty tricks. Michael continued to fight fairly, knowing in his heart that he would win, and he merely waited for the right opening. It came when he was getting up from a trip, his brother charged him with sword raised high, and Michael rammed his sword through his heart. For a moment the man stood there amazed as his body stopped responding to his commands, his sword slipped from his fingers, and clattered to the ground. Michael watched the curious expression that crossed his face, the dying man sank to his knees, and raised and eyebrow. He looked at Michael curiously. "So this is what it is like to die." Michael shook his head. "I'm sorry it had to come to this." The man smiled. "It's alright," he said before he died. Lisa closed her eyes as he toppled over, there were tears of relief, and sadness running down her cheeks. Michael pulled the sword from his brother, then picked him up, and turned to look at the two women. Hecate nodded to him, they watched him turn, and disappear into thin air. Hecate turned to look at Lisa. "He has gone to bury him. Come, I will take you home." Lisa took her hand, she closed her eyes, and opened them after the coldness disappeared. Hecate smiled down at her. "My son will join you here." Lisa looked up at her. "Will I ever see you again, Mother?" Hecate chuckled happily. "Oh, yes. I have a grandchild on the way, remember?" Lisa smiled as she rubbed her stomach. "I remember." Hecate gave her a ring off her finger. "This will allow me to keep track of you, never take it off, unless your life is in danger." Lisa smiled as she slipped the ring on. "It shall be done," she said as she climbed in bed to wait for Michael. She fell asleep waiting. Lisa was woken by the sound of her alarm going off, she shut it off, climbed out of bed and headed for the coffee pot. She poured herself some coffee, looked at the clock, and headed for the shower. She stopped as she looked at the calendar, she had a feeling that it should be later than it was, and tapped the note on the date. She showered, had breakfast, finished off the coffee and headed for her car. She got the strangest feeling that she'd done all of this before, that something was definitely wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She drove to the studio, gave her name to the guard, and was told where to park. She looked over when she felt some eyes on her, she saw the guard walking away, and a chill ran up her spine. Lisa turned when she heard her name being called. "Are you Lisa Matherson?" Lisa smiled as she nodded. "Yes I am, Stephanie." The woman smiled as she shook her hand. "Hi. How did you know my name?" Stephanie asked as she lead Lisa into the building. Lisa frowned. "I don't know, Stephanie, but I get the strangest feeling that I've done all this before." Stephanie chuckled. "We all go through the same routine, that's probably what you're feeling, and it'll pass." Lisa shook her head. "I don't think that is what it is." Stephanie glanced at Lisa. "First time to our studio?" Lisa nodded as she looked around. "Yes, but I've heard that you do some wonderful things here." Lisa followed Stephanie as she lead her through the studio, she kept getting flashes of people, and what they were coming to. Lisa stopped as they passed a door, she turned to look at it, and Stephanie stopped as well. Stephanie looked at the door. "This is the old soundstage 4, it hasn't been used for a couple of years, and some say it's haunted." Lisa nodded as she walked over to the door, she turned the handle, and pushed it open. Stephanie frowned. "That's funny, its supposed to be locked." Lisa nodded as she entered the soundstage, she went over to the lighting panel, and turned on the lights. Stephanie watched her as she walked around the stage, she pulled a curtain back, and exposed a metal wall. She pushed a button on the wall, a section slid back, and they could see a planet below them. Stephanie walked over to where Lisa stood. "How did you know where everything was?" Lisa looked at her blankly for a moment, then looked past her, and Stephanie turned to see what she was looking at. From the shadows came a man Stephanie had never seen before, he was tall, dark haired, and handsome. Lisa smiled as he approached. "Hello, Michael." Michael returned her smile. "Hello, Lisa. I'm glad to see that you remembered." Lisa looked up at him. "The dream, was it real, or just a dream?" Michael smiled softly. "It was real, Lisa. We had to send you back, to know whether you were right for me or not, and you have passed the test. Would you like to be my wife for all time?" Lisa smiled shyly. "That is why I am here." Stephanie looked at the two of them, she could tell that they were in love, and she wondered just who he was. Michael held out his hand. "Shall we go?" Lisa seemed to glow as she reached for his hand, they touched, and Stephanie watched as they faded into the air. Stephanie ran for the door, she ran all the way down to the Presidents office, and burst through the door. The man looked up at her. "What's wrong?" "We just lost one of our interviewees," she gasped. "She went onto Stage 4, through a door that was supposed to be locked, and disappeared with a ghost she knew well." The President sat back in his chair as he looked at her sternly. "There are no such things as ghosts!" Stephanie leaned on his desk. "The man stood 6', dark haired, well built, and answered to the name of Michael. She knew right where the light switch was, how to open the panel for the planet view, and which direction he would be coming from. He was also wearing one of the old guard uniforms." The President paled, he opened his desk, and pulled out a file. He pulled a picture from the file. "Is this the man you saw?" Stephanie looked at the picture. "That's him. Who was he?" The President sighed. "A man who taught me a lot about film making, a good friend to me, and one of the best officers this studio ever had. Some say he died here during a fight, others say he just disappeared one day, and no one knows for sure. He was also a hell of a writer, he wrote the movie that made us all the money, and even helped with the effects. He was also a close personal friend." Stephanie looked at him curiously. "So what do we do about it?" The President sighed. "What can we do? Do you know where they went? Can you honestly say they're still not on the set?" From the doorway came a voice. "Still full of questions, huh?" the man said. They looked over to see Michael leaning on the door jam. "Michael! Where the hell have you been?" the President asked. Michael chuckled. "There are some questions that can never be answered, my friend, and that is one of them. I come bearing gifts for you, scripts that I have written, and that would make good movies. I hope you can accommodate me," he said as he moved into the room. Stephanie backed away from him, the president stood, and walked towards him. The two men embraced. "God, I've missed talking to you," the President said. Michael chuckled. "I've heard every word you've said to me, bro, and I've watched over you all these years. There are changes coming, bro, changes that will shake this world to it's very core and you must be prepared." The President nodded. "What can I do to help?" Michael smiled at him. "This story is to be made in six months, you'll be able to complete it in four months, and have it in theaters within a couple of weeks. Do not deviate from the script, it is important that everything be done exactly, and within the guidelines set forth. It contains what everyone needs to know." The President nodded again. "Can I do it earlier than that?" Michael shook his head. "No. Also, don't mention me to any one, and forget I was ever here." Stephanie spoke softly. "What's going to happen?" Michael sighed. "Many things shall end soon, there shall be a new start, and those who have faith will survive." They watched as he faded from view, they looked at each other, and both nodded their heads. Six months later they started production of the film, the President of the studio personally monitored the filming, and made sure no changes were made. True to his word the filming took four months to the day, editing took two weeks, and it was ready for the theaters three weeks later. The President called a press conference, announced the release of the movie, and told them who the screen writer was. The reporters looked at each other in confusion, then the President told them what other films he had written, and everyone nodded. He gave the reporters a sneak preview, they reacted favorably to the film, and two days later there was a general release worldwide. It was a rousing hit everywhere it played, it was released on video for the homes, and everyone started buying. Six months after its release to home video, strange things started happening around the world, and the President of the Studio knew that it had begun. The changes that began to occur were amazing in their own right, together they were frightening to any who sat down to think about them, and more than a few people did just that. Then for two weeks nothing happened, the world waited while they watched for what would happen next, and when it finally happened they were ready for it. At first nobody really noticed, then someone noticed it, and everyone was surprised that it had happened. What was the change you ask? People actually became kinder, wars stopped for no apparent reason, and peace finally came to the world. Everyone realized what had caused the change, why there had been such a radical difference in everything, and they understood just what the message of the movie was. Judgement day was coming, if they didn't change the world would end, and there would be no second chance.  -- +--------------' Story submission `-+-' Moderator contact `------------+ | story-submit@qz.little-neck.ny.us | story-admin@qz.little-neck.ny.us | | Archive site +--------------------+------------------+ Newsgroup FAQ | \ .../assm/faq.html> /
