First, she needed to get rid of any evidence that the Doctors might have left behind in her home. Then she needed to get them to give her a memory wipe. Then she’d be safe from elimination.

Shoot! How had she let them use her so easily? She’d known all this pleasure had to be illegal. If she didn’t get a wipe, there was no way she could avoid getting caught.

Anica sighed.

Goodness! What should she do? Truly she didn’t wish to return to a life without such exquisite pleasure. But it was the only way to stay alive.

Her air car beeped ripping her from her thoughts. She was home.

A moment later the air car secured itself to her two-hundredth-floor apartment door. The hatch opened and she entered her cushy apartment.

Panic assailed and she wiped away the tears of frustration.

“
You’ve heard the news.”

Anica trembled as Zack’s voice sailed over her jittery nerves. Whirling around, she saw him standing in the bedroom doorway. Despite her confusing emotions, she couldn’t stop the flash of excitement at seeing him wearing nothing but a cock harness.

He stepped forward, his eyes flashing a hot lusty stare that speared anger straight through her. Reaching out, she slapped him across his face. The sharp sound and raw sting of flesh hitting flesh made both of them cry out.

Shock flashed in his eyes and Anica gasped at the red handprint erupting across his right cheek.

“
You’re trying to get me addicted to sex so you can pleasure yourself,” she accused. She didn’t care that Noah now stood in the bedroom doorway. Didn’t care that he studied her reaction with curiosity examining her as if she were some sort of bug in a biology experiment.

Her anger burned brighter as she focused her fury on Noah. “And you too! You should both be ashamed of yourselves. What you are doing goes against the Order. If I didn’t fear elimination I would turn you both in! As it is, I’m sure they’ve read my thoughts and are on their way as we speak.”

“
Easy, Anica. We can explain the truth,” Zack replied as he reached out trying to take her hands into his. She slapped his hands away. They’d brought her too much pleasure. How could they bring her so much pleasure? How could they do this to her?

Tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing. Crying in despair at what she was about to demand of them.

“
You…”

Sweet Biosphere! She had to tell them.

“
You have to give me a memory wipe. I don’t want to be eliminated. This is illegal pleasure. I want nothing to do with it.”

Liar! She wanted everything to do with it. The arousal felt so good. Unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. It was so beautiful. How could the OA deny everyone this pleasure?

Sweet Biosphere! She was already questioning how things were. They would surely kill her when they found out.

“
Anica, we’re part of a rebellion in the making.” Noah’s words were spoken with care and tenderness as if she were in a fragile state and would snap and start hitting him as she’d hit Zack. It took her a good moment to realize what he’d just said. When it registered inside her brain, it was as if an explosion had just gone off. Her heart began pounding and her breath became erratic.

“
A…a rebellion?”

“
A group who wish to release everyone from a life of control.”

Zack spoke. He smiled at her, as if trying to worm his way out of getting hit again. Despite her need of wanting to slap both men, she tightened her fists in an effort to control herself.

“
People need to be controlled,” she snapped. “Or we’ll end up extinct, like it almost happened in history. You should know that. We’ve all been taught what happened in the past. We’ve all been told why we need to be controlled. We were naturally addicted to gambling, money, smoking, sex and fossil fuels, and that’s just to mention a few vices. We were imperfect back then. We are perfect now. We’re alive because of the control.”

Noah broke in, his eyes flashing and his nostrils flaring. He seemed determined and angry now.

“
You sound like one of those endless reels of memory discs they make us listen to while we slept as children, Anica. It’s called brainwashing.”

Brainwashing? A technique used in the Penal Biosphere via a person’s Blocker to correct a delinquent behavior. Children were not brainwashed. They were innocent. Just untrained in control. They had no right to compare the two.

“
You’re insane. I don’t wish to hear this. I want you to give me a memory wipe and then leave. I don’t want to hear anymore of this nonsense.”

She trembled. Shaking with a fear she had never known before. It couldn’t be possible that life without order would thrive. Yet even as she thought it wasn’t possible, she hoped that it could happen.

“
What you’re experiencing now are your true emotions, Anica. Curiosity, denial, confusion and guilt to name a few. Like yourself others have gone through this. Most have accepted the new way they feel.”

“
Others? There are others you’ve done this too?” To her irritation the idea that Zack and Noah had been with other women seemed distasteful to her. She wanted them both for her and her alone.

Selfish? Definitely!

Zack continued.

“
There have been several women under our care. They have been placed with other males to continue the experiments. The two of us have only recently been approached by the rebels. We’ve begun their sexual experiments and recording our emotions associated with finding out how the OA has kept us emotionally, physically and spiritually controlled. We’ve also come to the conclusion that many females do not wish their male or males to pleasure other females.”

Her mouth dropped open in surprise. How interesting. Other women felt the same as she did?

Noah chimed in. “The experiments, that is if you choose to continue, will be between the three of us. We’ve put decoy programs in place in the video feed to your apartment as well as your Blocker in order to avoid detection of what is truly going on. But there is a low chance the Order may get wind of this.”

Noah’s eyes were blazing as he carefully watched her for a reaction. She forced herself to keep her face impassive despite the curiosity slicing through her. Exactly what kind of experiments did they wish to partake? More of the exquisite pleasure she’d experienced last night?

“
If we are caught,” Zack continued, “we could get as easy as the Penal Biosphere or as hard as extermination. We’ll leave it up to you if you wish to continue with the sexual experiments. Just realize, if you try to utter a word of what has happened between the three of us, anything about the rebellion or anything that may compromise the rebels, the Blocker has been instructed to initiate an immediate memory wipe from just before you met me. You’ll not remember me or Noah or what happened. Do you have any questions?”

Questions? Her mind whirled with them and she couldn’t seem to grasp one thought out of the many that bombarded her.

“
I need some time to think,” she confessed.
And lots of time to figure out what to do.

“
We can give you only a couple of hours,” Noah answered. “But we’ll need an answer tonight. Just know that we, both of us, truly want you to continue in these sexual experiments with us. What we learn from each other will be recorded and compiled with the information other members are supplying the rebels.”

“
When is this rebellion?” she asked, as curiosity took a firm hold. It felt liberating to know the OA couldn’t read her thoughts. Oddly enough she believed Zack and Noah when they told her the chances of them getting caught was low.

“
There is no set date. It’s too early in the experimental phase to theorize what would happen if everyone’s Blockers abruptly stopped working,” Zack explained. “As you can feel yourself, things are confusing right now for you. You can imagine the chaos if everyone suddenly began following their natural urges.”

Anica nodded as a picture of what had happened to her first with Zack, and then with Zack and Noah, flipped through her head. And what she’d experienced had been controlled.

Zack sat on the edge of her air couch, the sight of his cock harness making her breath hitch as he studied her with a lust-filled gaze.

“
And just so you know, Anica. The memory wipe applies to everyone who joins the rebels, including Noah and myself. All three of us are in it together. From beginning to end, if you choose to continue.”

Interestingly enough, that revealed fact made her feel much better. Made her feel as if she wasn’t the only one being targeted. As if she wasn’t the only one untrustworthy. But she could understand why the rebels wanted to protect themselves. She’d heard that life in the Penal Biosphere was no picnic for someone deemed with a fixable flaw in their personality or a physical imperfection they could overcome such as being overweight.

Hmm, perhaps investigating life without control could be a worthy cause, despite her initial doubts.

Zack stood and joined Noah near the bedroom doorway.

“
Any more questions?” Noah asked, his gaze pinning her like a needle into a butterfly.

Nothing that couldn’t be answered at a later time, she mused. She shook her head.

“
We’ll wait in your bedroom for your answer. But just so you know, you aren’t pregnant. We both used injected protection and will keep using it until it becomes necessary to impregnate you to fulfil your obligation to the Biosphere. If you ask for the memory wipe, then you’ll have to begin a new search for a Doctor or an I Center.”

Both men moved to enter her bedroom.

“
I’ve made my decision,” Anica replied in a rush. Hope flashed in both men’s eyes as they turned around to face her.

Sweet Biosphere! She had to be mentally deficient to have come to a decision so quickly. The last thing she wanted was to find another Doctor or an I Center or not remember Zack and Noah and the exquisite pleasures they brought to her.

She certainly did not wish for the OA to control her emotions anymore. She wanted more sex. More pleasure.

She wished to explore more of these interesting emotions she experienced when both men gazed upon her naked body with such bold stares that made her feel intense heat within her.

Both of them were watching her as she slipped off her dress. As the light cloth puddled at her feet, she knew she wouldn’t have to verbally give them her answer. Her body would do all the talking for her.

Prologue

Year 2104

Environmental contamination has made the world unliveable. The sick outnumber the healthy. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Economies collapse. Governments combine to form a one world power called the "Order of Authority"(OA).
To save the human race the OA builds "biospheres”—large bubbles enclosing self sustainable cities. Only the healthy are allowed inside. Everyone else is left to die…For population control, each human is embedded with a microchip, supressing the urge to mate. The art of lovemaking vanishes…

Chapter One

Earth Year 2304, Biosphere A1Z9

The instant she entered her boss Anica Maine’s apartment, intriguing moans whispered through the living room, making a rush of alarm snap through twenty-three year old Michaela. Instantly, she located the room’s Red Alert button on a nearby wall.

If she touched the button, the Order of Authority would arrive in bioseconds and assist. She took a step toward the button but another sultry moan drifted down the nearby hallway, stopping her cold.

The soft noise belonged to a female. Anica? She didn’t sound distressed. Contrary, she appeared to be enjoying something. But what in the world was she doing to create such unique moans?

A familiar crush of excitement zipped through Michaela and she bit her bottom lip and paused. Unfortunately, over the past several weeks her excitement had been getting her into a bit of trouble. She’d been warned by the Order of Authority to get herself adjusted yet again for her emotion problem or risk Elimination. Numerous attempts to curb it by the OA had been unsuccessful, and that was why she refused to push that Red Alert button now.
