Discovering Robyn by Denver Rolandi - HTML preview

CHAPTER SEVEN

Phaedra and Robyn both waited for Medea to speak. They sensed the importance of what had happened.

"I'm not sure what to tell you first." Medea began. "This is very personal, but I need to tell you about it."

Robyn knew at once "You made love with Doug didn't you!" She said angrily.

Medea blushed and said "Yes. But don't be angry. Doug only accepted me because I carried you with me in my head. But the important thing is that through making love

with Doug, with you in my head, my sexuality returned. I know it is no longer just the temporary effect of the drug."

She hesitated. "If we have all 10 recipients making love with Doug, but with you there, then they too will receive their sexuality back via you."

Medea looked at Phaedra. "It is time to tell the whole truth."

"All right." Phaedra responded. "You see Robyn, the truth is, we don't have all the answers by any means. We are learning, discovering, just as you are. We are searching for the answers too. We did know we needed Doug also but didn't know why. Now perhaps we do. Through him we now know how to return sexuality from you to the ten descendants. How we can spread that wider is still to be discovered."

Medea took over. "There is something else hugely important that Doug discovered. His source was destroyed by a Zeuss energy blast and Doug just got caught by a little of it."

Medea explained what she had learned about the implants and how Zeuss was using them to perpetuate his power.

Robyn held up her hand and they all turned to look at her.

"Zeuss is my twin, but we are like Yin and Yang, I got all that's good and he got all the bad. I don't know why, but I know I have to go to him. And to Doug"

"I will take you," said Medea.

"No." said Robyn with authority. "I know the way. I will go alone."

Robyn sat up, with her head in her hands, elbows on her knees and in a low whispery voice she said.

"Ivanik, I don't really know. I thought I had things figured out, but every turn has led to another blind alley."

"What is it that you do know for sure?" he asked.

"That's just it." she replied as she shook her head then allowed her cupped hands to smooth her hair from her eyes. "Nothing, absolutely nothing." and she tossed her body back onto the bed.

"Would you agree we have shared something special?" he asked as he sat beside her and let his hand cup her cheek.

"Have we?" she asked.

"I thought so."

"Then explain what I had with Doug. I thought that was special, but apparently not special enough." she said as she turned her head away from him and a tear slid down her cheek.

Ivanik stood abruptly and walked to a closet and drew out some clothes, tees, and jeans. He tossed a set onto the bed while he climbed into his own.

"Does no one here wear underwear?" she asked as she stood up, grabbed the clothes, and walked away while saying, "I need to shower first."

"To wash me away?" Asked Ivanik.

Robyn stopped dead in her tracks and turned toward Ivanik. Normally she would have wisecracked, but she saw a vulnerability she was at a loss to understand.

"No Ivanik. You'll not wash away so easily. You see, you are here." she said as she held her hand to her heart and then sauntered off.

It was true, Robyn thought to herself. He was in her heart. There was an affinity she felt for him that surpassed anything she had ever felt before.

Ivanik knew it was time to disclose to Robyn just who Doug really was, and as well, who she was. That he had already known, when he had asked her the question of 'who she was' would not sit well with her and would likely cause her to run again. He did not like using the Sensory Deprivation room, with all that it disclosed about their tactics, but Robyn had been pushed far and was losing the ability to think totally rationally. Sex and lies are never good bedfellows no matter how you rationalize the lies.

Doug had gotten wind that Zeuss was on the hunt for Robyn and had contacted Ivanik. From what Doug filled him in on, Robyn was likely distressed over information given to her about Doug and Medea. Doug had instructed Ivanik to find her and bring her to their confines for safety. Ivanik found it difficult to understand the affinity he had for Robyn or why, given the circumstances of her capture and her being held for safety, he had unashamedly seduced her. He'd felt better about it as she, so willingly, had snuggled next to him as she fell asleep. He thought she would fare better if he left her to her sleep on her own. He was quite surprised when not only had she come into his room but had actively sought to reclaim him. His heart was glad, but his brain was confused.

Robyn walked out of the bathroom patting a thick fluffy towel against her hair. She had put on the jeans and Tee without underwear. She knew how her nipples were erect and pushing against the restraint of the T-shirt. That was the only 'sexy' to this getup she was wearing. She blatantly watched Ivanik watching her. She was shoeless so she stepped up onto the bed and then in Indian fashion lowered herself all the way down to sit upon the bed as she continued to towel dry her hair.

"Have a large-toothed comb or a brush?" she asked.

Ivanik went to the dresser and opened the first drawer, and holding up a brush asked, "Will this do?"

Robyn nodded and stretched out her hand as he handed her the brush. She started to brush her hair when suddenly the bed beside her depressed, and Ivanik much like she had, sat himself down beside her. He took the brush from her hands and began

brushing her hair. She leaned her head back, closed her eyes and gave herself away into his care.

When Ivanik deemed himself done, he put the brush down and then dragged her into his lap. His face nuzzled her neck as he whispered, "I'm sorry my dear. But I must protect you." With that, he stood quickly with her in his arms, stepped off the bed and rapidly walked to the room adjacent where he placed her onto the large platform now transformed into a soft bed, then began to secure her. She said nothing. She did not fight him. She made no demands. She made no threats. She simply waited for him to be done.

"Whatever it is you have to tell me Ivanik, I am no need of being bound, held in place like a crazy woman unable to be approached rationally, but go ahead, do as you must."

"Robyn, there is much I must tell you, and much you have been allowed to believe because it suited us at the time. What I want now is your undivided attention. I want you safe. I want that you're unable to act out rashly or angrily."

Robyn took a deep breath, and simply looked Ivanik in the eye and said.

"Begin."

"Doug is one of us. He is my second in command."

Robyn closed her eyes, then reopened them, "Go on," she said.

Ivanik paced as he talked. "We are the resistance," he said as he came to sit beside her. "We are only interested in returning our freedom to choose." he fondled her hair then began to caress her cheek.

"Ivanik, please, no."

He abruptly withdrew from her side. "You are Zeuss' twin. He is your brother. All of that is true. You were imprisoned by him just prior to his stepping into your father's place. It was you who was meant to be our leader. Your father told Zeuss as much. It was then that Zeuss had your father poisoned, and you imprisoned. We believed you were in great danger. We still believe Zeuss would rather kill you than find a way to share the kingdom. We were able to break you out of your cell in Zeuss' control. Doug, having knowledge of the world you and he were to be sent to, became your protector and guide as we sheltered you in place there."

"How about seducer and liar," she said as she tried to sit up. She yanked on the bindings in agitation. "Suppose I have no interest in being the leader of your people?"

"But you clearly do. We all felt it on your arrival. The fire that grew here, he said, as his hand spread out over his loins was felt by all of us that first day. That was when we knew you were the rightful ruler of Astrafon."

"Then why all of the deceit," she asked?

27

"There was not real deceit, just us wishing to protect you. There is much we still do not know. Zeuss ran tests on you, did things when you were in his control. He wanted you neutered and was halfway there when Doug got you away and into your new world where he set about reversing the damage Zeus had managed to do. You have some, if not all, of the answers locked away in your subconscious. We have been contacted by Phaedra. She asks if you know your Number."

"My Number. What Number?"

Ivanik related to Robyn all that had been told to him by Phaedra, but even with this information, she was no closer to knowing or understanding. It was then that Ivanik looked into Robyn's eyes and said, "Phaedra believes, if you are taken to orgasm multiple times that when you can tolerate no more that will be your 'Number'. She feels, if her theory is correct, then at that point your subconscious will be unlocked and the rest of what you know, to vanquish Zeuss, that knowledge will return to you."
