***************************************************
A couple of months had gone by since Jessica’s fever. In many ways things had gone the way Jimmy had hoped. She was back to normal physically and she followed every command to a T. To the point where Riley had given her permission to resume seeing the horses, and he even allowed her to see the dogs. With supervision Jessica would go out for brief visits to the kennel or the barn. This was a relief because Jim had feared that Angus’ abuse of her weeks before may have undermined Jim’s attempts to have Jessica change her approach to interacting with the men.
In addition to Jessica’s near perfect behavior, Jim began to notice subtle differences in how Jessica acted when she was alone with him, Scott and Josh versus how she acted when Riley or Angus were around.
When Angus or Riley were around, Jessica seemed to be her usual reserved self, but when it was just him Scott and Josh she seemed far more relaxed. And when he was alone with her Jessica seemed almost giddy. She’d even gone through a whole night with him, in which she hadn’t had a single nightmare. Even more amazing was that with Riley’s commandment, Angus barely paid attention to Jessica at all. He seemed to watch her from afar, but in the whole time since Jessica had recovered, he had grabbed her a few times, slapped her once, but other than that, the violence had decreased.
And while all of this was good, Jim’s inability to trust Jessica completely made what was supposed to be a positive and happy change into an emotionally draining and frustrating one. Scott and Josh felt it too … and they lamented the ironic cruelty of it often. Every act of Jessica’s had the potential for another purpose. It was hard not to second guess the reason or sincerity behind Jessica’s words or actions
But over the past few days something seemed off with Jessica. To begin with Riley and Angus had been away for the two days but during that time Jessica’s behavior had been almost as introverted and reserved as when they were home. That very moment Jessica sat on the sofa, curled up into a self-protective ball. Jim had had his night with her the previous night, and Jessica had been really tired. She’d fallen to sleep within the first few minutes of the TV show that they were watching and rather than cuddle like they normally did, Jessica kept her physical distance from him. Then during the day she’d fallen to sleep on the sofa for most of the day. Now, after dinner, the men had proposed a game of cards, but Jessica sat on the sofa, knees drawn up and simply shook her head. Jim, Josh and Scott exchanged bewildered looks. Jim felt the prickles of paranoia ripple under his skin.
“Come on Jess, here’s a chance for you to win another favor.” Jim urged.
The tinge of despair in Jim’s voice made Jessica look up at him. He was looking at her with a perplexed expression. Scott and Josh sat on dining room chairs that they’d moved on the other side of the coffee table and were watching her as well. She felt like she should smile or something … something to make them relax. But she didn’t feel like it. She wasn’t relaxed and at the moment she didn’t care if they were. She felt angry and annoyed. She pulled her knees to her chest and closed her eyes. Her period was coming and as usual she hurt, everywhere. Her stomach, her breasts, her head, everywhere. And she felt angry. Inside she felt like her blood was boiling. She’d always felt like this just before her period started but since she’d been with the men, the extra anger, irritation, annoyance had been hidden as part of her constant anger, irritation, annoyance, and hatred of the men and the situation. Now … now that things were calmer, she noticed these heightened sensations much more. And she didn’t know what to do with them. Since she’d started using the universal gym, she’d found that the physical pain from her period had diminished somewhat. But in the past week, she hadn’t had a chance to work out. And so now, the pain seemed so much worse. And Riley and Angus were gone. When they were around, she managed to smother her feelings. But somehow, she didn’t feel like smothering them around Jim, Josh and Scott. She dropped her forehead to her knees … maybe she should be more cautious with how she felt. With the amount of anger coursing through her no good could come from letting it out.
Josh had heard the despair in Jim’s voice too and he knew just how Jim felt. Things had been going well for so long. Jessica seemed to be enjoying the comic he was creating and the comic books they read together became a ritual that he, and he was certain Jessica, looked forward to. She’d seemed happy … happier than she’d ever been before. But now this. From out of nowhere Jessica seemed distant again. He flashed back to his last night with her and instantly got hard. She’d been fine then … better than fine, he’d fucked her and she had felt so soft and relaxed beneath him that he’d cum extra hard. Just remembering how he’d emptied his balls into her made them constrict in his pants … God he hoped he didn’t cum in his pants. There was only one place he ever wanted his cum and that was in Jessica. In her warm and tight pussy … and suddenly it dawned on him, fuck she hadn’t had her pill.
“Christ …” Josh muttered. Kicking back his he stood. “We forgot to give her the pill.” He stalked off to the kitchen to get a pill.
“Shit …” Scott muttered. That reminded him that he still hadn’t fucked Jessica … nor touched her, since the promise he’d made. He felt his groin tighten as he remembered the nights he had had with her … her masturbating … using the toys he’d bought for her. She hadn’t asked him to touch her yet … hadn’t even let him use the toys on her. Just watch. He groaned as the pain in his balls began. He crumpled over a little. At least she let him do that … but he had been sure that she would have asked him to pleasure her by now. The upside of it though … he thought to himself as he watched Josh coming back, was that at least he knew she couldn’t get pregnant with his kid. But her strange behavior now worried him. What if she never asked him to fuck her? God, what would he do then?
“The pills are done.” Josh said returning and stopping next to Jessica, “Here you’re going to need this ….” He added holding a pad out to her. Jessica’s face turned bright red. The one thing she couldn’t get used to was having them have so much control over her body. Thank God she had had her period before she’d gotten to this retched place. Thank God she’d had it when she’d had the chance to talk to her Mom about it. Otherwise that would have made the humiliation of the men knowing … of them handing out pads to her like they were band aids, one thousand times worse.
“Jessica …” Josh repeated, waving the pad in front of her face.
That was the final straw. She wanted to take her own damn pills, wanted to control her pad supply herself, wanted some pills for her pain, she didn’t want to place any bets for stupid favors that were meaningless in the long run. Didn’t they consider that what she really wanted to ask for was to go home? They probably thought they were doing her some kind of favor with the bets. Knowing Jimmy, Jessica was sure of it. But it wasn’t the kind of favor she wanted. Not right now anyway. Jessica grabbed the pad from Josh’s hand.
“Thanks for the news flash!” she said. And while she felt like yelling, yelling so loud the roof would come off the house, her voice was very low and controlled. Angry, low and controlled. Josh’s expression shifted from shocked, to angry, to confused to shocked again and his jaw hung open. Jessica noticed both Jim and Scott looking like she had insulted them somehow. Her head hurt and she dropped it to her knees again. She didn’t care.
“Jessica …” Josh said in a stern voice, grabbing her shoulder. Jessica jerked away … her shoulder hurt too.
“Jessica!” All three men growled simultaneously. Josh had crouched down in front of her. She raised her head to find his angry face inches from hers. Scott and Jim had gotten to their feet and stood towering over her.
“I’m sorry …” Jessica said quietly. She tried to drop her head down again, but Josh caught her chin and tilted her head back. “It hurts so much … I’m sorry.”
“What hurts?” Josh asked, eyeing her with suspicion. He looked really angry.
“Everything.” Jessica said and a tear rolled down her cheek. “My head, my abdomen, my arms, … everything. And I feel so angry. I just want to scream.” She continued. “I don’t want to play cards, I don’t want you giving me my birth control pills, and I don’t want you telling me when I will need a pad! It’s my body …” she said with a sob. Tears poured down her face as Josh continued to clutched her chin. The men watched her in silence.
“PMS.” Scott finally said.
“What?” Jim asked, unable to take his eyes off of Jessica. He was at a loss for how to respond to her.
“Pre-menstrual Syndrome.” Scott said. Jim and Josh looked at him like he’d grown a second head. “Women get it before they have their periods!” he snapped at them. He’d read about it in some of the literature he’d bought for Jessica. Thank God he had because otherwise Jessica may have found herself at the receiving end of a good spanking judging from the looks on Josh and Jim’s faces. Not to mention his initial reaction.
“Oh come on …” he said when Josh and Jim didn’t stop staring at him, “your mothers probably had it … your sister Jim? Just before their periods, they get all emotional, angry … downright bitchy.” He paused, reaching down to stroke Jessica’s hair.
“Tired?” Jim asked. The previous night making more sense now.
Scott nodded, “And they can have a lot of pain. Everywhere.”
“Oh no!” Jessica suddenly said and jerked her head away from both Josh and Scott and leaning over the sofa she vomited. A lot.
“And they can vomit?” Josh asked, rubbing Jessica’s back as she heaved over and over again.
