“I need to pick up my check,”
he said.

“You're in trouble Jacob. You
called in sick once but the last two days you were no call, no show.
That's gonna get you fired,” the receptionist said.

“Lisa, I have to quit. I'm sorry
I didn't call in but I need to pick up my check please.”

Lisa slid a blank sheet of paper on top
of the desk along with a pen.

“Why don't you write that out,
date it the day before yesterday. Maybe I can convince the bossman
that he just didn't see your resignation when I put it on his desk.
He's always got a stack of papers in his in-box.”

“Thank you Lisa. I don't want to
cause you any trouble though.”

“No, you wouldn't. You're not
like some of the other guys here. It's a shame to see you leave.”

Lisa looked from Kelly to Greta, then
back to Jacob.

“At least, I thought you
weren't,” she said softly.

While Jacob wrote out his resignation,
he heard Kelly talking to Lisa in soft tones. He signed the paper and
looked up to see Kelly drawing her hand back from Lisa.

Shit, what was she doing there? Lisa's always been a sweetie to
me, I don't want anything bad to happen to her.

“Here, I'll take that and slide
it into the middle of his stack of papers. When he asks about you not
being here I'll tell him that there was something from you a couple
of days ago that I put in his in-box. That ought to cover it.
Quitting with no notice is a lot better on your record than just not
showing up.”

Lisa's voice went slightly accusatory
with the last sentence.

“I'm sorry Lisa, honestly there
was no way I could've been here the last couple of days. There's a
lot of weird shit going on in my life, starting on the day I called
in sick. I've just been swept along with it.”

Lisa's voice was slightly sarcastic
when she replied.

“Whatever you say Jacob. I'm sure
you have a good reason. Let me go get your check.”

Lisa got up and left the room.

“She wanted you to ask her out.
Did you know that?” Kelly asked him softly.

“Lisa? She never even hinted at
it.”

“She thought you'd notice that
she treated you differently than the other people working here. Now
she's upset because she thinks you have two attractive girlfriends.”

Jacob shook his head.

“I never noticed. I figured she
thought I was just another guy working here.”

Lisa entered the room again before
Kelly could say anything else.

“Here you go, you need to sign
for it like normal.”

Jacob signed and took his check.

“Bye Lisa, sorry I won't be
seeing you around any more.”

Lisa's good bye was bitter.

“Bye Jacob.”

They turned and left the office
building. Sure enough, Keith was waiting on the walk.

“If it isn't the little puke,”
Keith said.

“Lay off it Keith, I don't need
your shit right now,” Jacob replied.

Keith turned his attention from Jacob
to the two girls.

“Ladies, what are you doing with
a loser like Jacob? You're obviously both far too attractive to be
with him,” he said.

Kelly stared at Keith silently, Greta
turned so her back was to him.

“Keith, why do you try to pull
this kind of shit all the time?” Jacob asked.

“Hey, stuff it asshole, you left
us shorthanded and I had to work two shifts by myself when I
should've had someone else helping.”

“Really? That's kind of
surprising since we have different jobs.”

“Yeah, well they pulled my
partner to do your job. He told me it's easy enough a trained monkey
could do it. I figure that's why they hired you in the first place.”

“Keith, just go away. I already
quit and I'm leaving now,” Jacob said.

Keith stepped forward until he stood
chest to chest with Jacob.

“Good, then I won't leave us any
more shorthanded when I lay you out,” he said.

Keith drew a fist back and started to
swing. Jacob stepped out of the way so he wouldn't be hit, but the
punch never materialized. He looked over and saw that Kelly had a
grip on Keith's wrist. One tight enough that the flesh her hand
grasped was white from the pressure.

“Let me go you bitch,”
Keith screamed.

“Apologize first,” Kelly
said calmly, no stress evident in her voice.

She held Keith's wrist as he tried to
pull his arm loose.

“You're only going to hurt
yourself if you try that,” Kelly said.

“Let go of me!” Keith
yelled.

Kelly squeezed, Jacob watched as her
fingers sank into Keith's flesh.

“Alright, I'm sorry I called you
a bitch,” he said.

“You really are as dumb as Jacob
said you were, aren't you. Don't apologize to me, apologize to Jacob.
I've only had the displeasure of knowing you for a few minutes. He's
been forced to endure you for months.”

Greta giggled, Keith protested, and
Kelly squeezed harder.

“I'm sorry Jacob. Okay? I
apologized, let me go before you break my wrist,” Keith said.

“One other thing,” Kelly
said. “You don't have to apologize for calling me a bitch, but
don't think you're getting away with it either.”

She spat in his face, carefully aiming
it to ensure that some got into both his eyes and mouth.

“If you like, you can try that
punch again when I let you go. But I won't be as gentle stopping you
a second time.”

Kelly released her hold on his wrist
and Keith swung his arm up against his chest, holding his injured
wrist with his other hand.

“You're fucking crazy. Get away
from me,” he said, backing up.

“Wow, he's even more of an
asshole than you told us Jacob,” Greta said.

Keith glared at her. Kelly took a step
towards him, he broke and ran.

“Let's get out of here,”
Kelly said.

The three of them walked out of the
lumberyard and back to Jacob's car.

After a quick stop at the bank, they
pulled into the local grocery store.

“Is there anything you'd like
Kelly?” Jacob asked.

“As I said before, I can extract
nutrition from anything I eat. But I know you were thinking about a
lot of high protein foods and those would be good.”

“Okay, steak it is then. I've
been craving it all morning,” Jacob said.

“I can't imagine why you might
need more protein,” Greta said with a laugh.

“Kelly, what did you do to
Keith?” Jacob asked.

“He'll be stopping by your
apartment tonight, and in a much more docile mood. His change will
have progressed enough by then that I can instruct his body to change
form. He won't be able to do it on his own for a week or more unless
I teach him how. In the meantime we can have him take any form you
choose and he'll be stuck in it. Lisa will come by as well. Her I'll
teach right away. I think she'll enjoy being able to change and she
has a great deal of knowledge that I wish to learn from her.”

“Damn it, you did change her? I
wish you would've asked me first. She's a nice girl, I don't know if
she'll be able to handle this,” Jacob said.

“I think you'll find that she can
handle it and that she isn't nearly as nice as you think. I saw some
of what was in her mind so I know. She was simply nice to you because
she was attracted to you. She will enjoy watching you have Keith at
your mercy, or lack thereof.”

“Lack thereof, definitely lack
thereof,” Jacob said.

Kelly smiled at him.

“Let's get our groceries and head
home,” Jacob said. “I'm hoping that the two of you will
keep me occupied this afternoon and then Kelly will make some more of
that stuff that will keep me hard for this evening. It'll be a long
night, more so for some people than others.”

Jacob selected several steaks, trying
to keep to a budget. Greta piled a bunch of prime cuts into her cart.
He went and got a lot of pasta and sauce to go with it while Greta
and Kelly tagged along behind.

“Let's go over to the produce
aisle,” Greta said. “I know young men like you avoid it
on your own, but I'd like some fresh fruit and vegetables.”

Greta loaded her cart with potatoes,
peppers, onions, and more from the produce aisle.

“You're going to eat all that?”
Jacob asked.

“Nope, I'm going to cook for all
of us. This ought to last a few days, even if we end up with some
more people staying there with us. You're pretty healthy, but I bet
with a better diet you'll shape up even more. Got to keep you in good
health or you won't be nearly as much fun.”

When they got to the checkout Greta
insisted that Jacob unload his cart along with hers.

“I'll take care of it. You save
your money for now. Always good to have some walking around cash,”
she said.

Jacob protested but Greta stood firm.
The argument came to an abrupt end when she whispered in his ear.

“If you want to be inside of me
at all for the rest of the day, you'd better let me win this
argument.”

Jacob clamped his mouth shut and just
pushed the cart.

When they got back to the apartment,
Greta went into cooking mode. She took over Jacob's kitchen and
somehow between the microwave, stove, and cook top she managed to
serve up steaks, baked potatoes, and sauteed peppers and onions a
half hour later.

When they finished eating Jacob leaned
back in his chair.

“That was incredible. You can
cook for me anytime Greta.”

“Would you like me to? I'd be
happy to cook for us,” she said.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, it makes me happy to do
things for you and Kelly. It isn't just the sex, although I'll admit
to preferring that over cooking. The sex makes me happy and makes me
feel good physically. But there's no reason I can't do both of those,
right?”

“Done then, you can be the
official cook and I'll be the chief bottle washer. Here, let me get
the dishes into the dishwasher.”

Jacob stood up and started to clear the
table. Kelly and Greta exchanged a look. Greta stood and grabbed
Jacob by the waist. She turned him to face her and kissed him, hard.
It was more of a promise than a kiss and Jacob felt himself reacting.
Greta took his hands and pulled them up to her breasts. By the time
she let go of him, Kelly had cleared the table.

“Nope, no bottle washing for
you,” Greta said. “You have people that will happily do
that for you.”

“You're kidding me, right?”
Jacob asked. “You won't even let me help clean up?”

“If it actually made you happy we
would, but Kelly told me you were doing it because you thought you
should do your share of the work,” Greta said.

“Greta was telling the truth when
she said doing things for us made her happy,” Kelly said. “In
the same manner, doing things for you makes me feel ... if not happy
then at least right. In my mind, that is how things should be. I
should serve you. It is a part of my purpose, so please allow me to
fulfill my purpose and those who wish to serve both of us to fulfill
their purpose as well.”

“I'm warning you, I'm liable to
get bored and actually want to help out,” Jacob said.

“If it comes to that, we'll know
and we'll either find a way to alleviate your boredom or allow you to
help,” Kelly said.

Jacob glanced down at the front of his
pants, which had tented out while Greta was distracting him. All the
talk of being served had done nothing but increase the size of his
tent.

“Speaking of alleviating ....”

“It was my fault, I'll take care
of it,” Greta said.

“I'll help,” Kelly added.
“He really does frequently think of two girls doing him at the
same time.”

Greta nodded.

“Who are we to argue?” she
said.

Jacob was dragged to the couch in the
living room. His clothes came off in a matter of moments with both
girls helping. Theirs were gone moments later. Jacob spent the next
several hours in a blissful state as the girls tried to alleviate his
concerns.

* * *

A knock on the door interrupted their
play time. Jacob got up and dragged his pants on as he crossed the
room. He opened the door and found Lisa standing there.

“May I come in?” she asked.

“Of course,” Jacob said.

She walked in and caught sight of Kelly
and Greta nude on the couch. She shook her head, as though not quite
believing what she saw, then turned to Jacob.

“I felt like I had to come here,
I don't know why.”

“I do. You'll have to talk to
Kelly about it though. It's her doing.”

“You came because you want to
learn what you can do now, Lisa. You also came because after having a
crush on Jacob for so long, when you felt the need to serve, he was
the first one that came to your mind. I made sure of that.”

“What?” Lisa asked.

“You came for one other reason
also. You hate Keith even more than Jacob does. Tonight you can get
your revenge on him. He'll arrive fairly soon.”

“Keith's coming here? But I saw
you guys fighting after you left the office.”

“He's coming here, but not in an
aggressive mood, much to his dismay. Nor will what happens when he
arrives be to his taste, unless I've misread him badly. I made sure
you came because I thought you might enjoy helping to humiliate and
break him.”

Lisa's breath sped up.

“The bastard tried to rape me,
but I could never prove it to anyone. He always taunts me about it
when no-one else can hear. So, yes I'd love to humiliate that
asshole.”

“You can have that and more. Have
a seat and I'll start to show you how,” Kelly said.

Greta and Jacob continued to play while
Kelly tutored Lisa mind to mind.

An hour after Lisa arrived there was
another knock at the door. Jacob opened the door again and found
Keith standing in the hallway. Kelly called over Jacob's shoulder.
