Part 05.1
The day starts like the last several weeks as Adam and Allie get up to get Alice's coffee, breakfast, and lunch ready and kiss her on the way out. They slip back to bed for a half hour before getting up to start the first day of college for Allie and Adam's Junior year. The week is busy for both as they get used to their classes, classmates, classrooms, and building locations. Alice, however, jumps in with both feet, working on making it a better place to work and overseeing her new department as Manager. They have dinner each night as usual while catching up on their days. Then the kids both head for the Study to, imagine that, study.
The next few weeks continue this way until an upperclassman spots Allie and thinks, 'New meat. A hot petite Blonde with nice tits and bubble butt, just my type.' So, one afternoon, he approaches her and starts trying to chat her up.
"Hey, sweetie, you must be new here. Do you need someone to show you around?"
He puts a hand on her shoulder, and Allie shakes it off, saying, "Two things, no three things. First, don't touch me. Second, I know my way around. I don't need help. Third and most important, I'm Married. So fuck off." She shows him her wedding rings and moves to step away from him.
He puts his arm around her, saying, "Don't be like that, Baby. I've seen the wedding ring trick before, even if you are married. What he doesn't know doesn't hurt, right? Besides, every chick here wants to be with me. So why don't we go someplace and get acquainted?"
Allie shrieks, "DON'T TOUCH ME!!" She shakes his arm off again, trying to move away. Lots of people look to see what is going on and see a new girl getting harassed by their number one lecherous Frat boy.
Right then, Adam, having been headed to meet Allie to get lunch, sees a commotion ahead and hears Allie's scream. He moves ahead with a purpose right behind the scene.
Just as Adam arrives, Allie tells the ass, "I told you not to touch me. Leave me alone and go find one of those other bimbos that 'want to be with you.' I don't!"
Adam speaks up and says, "You should listen to her and just go."
The Frat boy turns and says, "Who the fuck are you to tell me to move on? Get lost."
He turns back to look at Allie. "Don't touch her again!" Adam growls.
Frat boy comes back around and says, "Do you know who I am?"
"Yeah, I do. I don't care."
At that moment, Adam sees two things about his adversary. One, it's one of the Frat assholes that screwed with him doing pizza his first year. Two, he's the university's Number one Quarterback. He knows who he is and has a way to deal with him should things go badly. Frat boy again reaches for Allie, and Adam moves quickly.
First, he steps up, pushes Allie away, and says, "Go, Allie." While saying that, he moves and clamps the guy's extended wrist and elbow in a close-quarters grab. He then uses his training to flip him ass over teakettle in an Arm throw into the nearby grass.
He then steps to him and puts his foot down hard on his throat. "She told you not to touch her. Now, the NFL puts up with sexual assault crap from their prima donna players because of the money they are already paying them. Colleges, on the other hand, have taken a very dim view and have expelled and blacklisted students for that more and more. So if you don't want a sexual harassment charge at a minimum, if not a sexual assault charge, get up and get the fuck out of here. If you touch another girl on this campus without permission again, and I hear about it, I'll be back to break that fucking arm. Then your football dreams will be gone. NFL scouts don't watch assholes on the bench with a broken arm. Get me?"
Adam pulls his foot off and steps safely back. The Frat boy rolls away from Adam and gets up. He considers going after Adam. Adam subtly takes a side stance and waits for the guy to come at him.
The QB sees the size difference between him and Adam and thinks, 'Who the fuck does this guy think he is Bruce Fucking Lee? I'm gonna put him down, then take the girl anyway.'
He starts the charge, and Adam sees the shift in his body. He gives him one step, and then, fast as a cobra, he snap kicks him in the solar plexus, knocking his air out and sending him back to the ground.
"Stupid. I saw you coming. Now you'll have a hell of a bruise there for your next game. Enjoy."
Frat boy looks up at Adam, the sheer anger on his face. He moves to stand up. About halfway there, he squeals like a little girl as a foot comes up from behind him, kicking him square in the balls. He drops like a stone, the air explosively leaving his lungs. He looks to see who kicked him while grabbing his nuts in both hands as his face turns purple in pain. He sees the girl grinning.
"I told you before not to touch me. Now you made my Husband mad. Good luck playing with a bruised chest and ruptured balls, Asshole." Allie smiles at Adam, and she steps around the wheezing asshole into Adam's arms.
"You Okay, Allie-girl?" Adam asks his wife.
"Never better, Adam. But for some reason, I'm even more hungry. Lunch?" Adam chuckles.
"Absolutely."
The crowd then erupts in a raucous cheer for Adam and Allie. Chanting begins, 'Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me.' Others chant, 'Adam! Adam! Adam!'
Allie giggles, and Adam looks at Frat Boy QB. He grins harder and walks away, Allie under his arm. They walk off to the college cantina, and people follow them, still chanting. The scene breaks up with every girl there walking away, saying, "Asshole." Then, taking up the chant.
The QB sits there holding his balls while his two stunned teammates stare, all of them still wondering two things. 'What the fuck just happened?' and 'Who the fuck was that guy?'
Before long, the whole campus hears about the Frat Boy QB getting his ass whipped for aggressively hitting on another student's wife and getting put down by the two of them. Adam is soon a legend but attempts to minimize the hoopla, preferring to be just another student. Allie never has a problem with any guys hitting on her the rest of her time at the college, except Adam. Then she giggles and jumps him wherever they are, saying, "My hero."
Later in the afternoon, when lunch was done and their classes were over, Adam and Allie went home.
As soon as the door was closed, Allie dropped her things and turned to Adam, saying, "Take me, Adam. That performance earlier has gotten me so horny I need you to fuck my brains out."
Adam dropped his stuff, too, then picked Allie up, walked her to the nearby counter in the kitchen, and set her down. As soon as her ass hit the counter, his hands were at her waist, pulling her pants and panties off. When her sex was free and clear, Adam whipped down his pants and skivvies. He then buries his turgid member in his hot, sexy wife to moans from both of them. Adam immediately begins pounding Allie with deep, hard thrusts into her sopping wet snatch. Allie was moaning continuously, moaning Adam's name over and over. They both came together again in under five minutes, both having thought about the confrontation all afternoon during class. Both each moaning the other's names.
After some recovery, Adam picks Allie up again, carries her to the couch, bends her over the back like so many times before, and repeats his previous performance in Doggie. He fills his young wife again with another creampie. It immediately starts streaming from her overfilled cunt, pushing the last load out with the pressure of the second load.
Allie moans in deep pleasure as he fills her, thinking, 'God, why can't he be putting a baby in me now? I love Adam so much,' So she tells him. "Oh, Adam, I love you so much. I can't wait for you to put a baby in me. Oh god, you feel so goood inside me." She nearly moans the last part.
With all their copious fluids and raw sexuality in the air, Adam pulls slowly from her and pushes slowly into Allie's asshole. Allie gets an immediate petite orgasm, and she twitches and twists. Adam grins, seeing his wife enjoying being serviced by the man who loves her more than anything. 'Well, Alice is a reeeaaallllyyy close second,' then he realizes there isn't a difference at all. He loves both women equally. And that realization makes him bury himself in Allie again and unload a third time in under an hour.
Adam moans his pleasure as Allie screams out, "YESYESYESYES!!! FILL ME!! GIVE ME YOUR LOVE ADAM!! DO IIIIIIITTTTT!!!"
When Adam is wholly expended, they both slump to the couch, fluids oozing everywhere, not that they notice. Nor do they notice a grinning Alice standing there, having watched the last part in wonder.
"My God, that was fucking Hot kids! How many loads was that?"
Adam limply puts up three fingers with a tired smile. Without thinking, Alice moves to her kids and sucks Adams' cock clean of all the juices and fluids and then cleans up Allie starting with her ass and the freshest load. While just cleaning her daughter's cunt and inner thighs of the double creampie, she gives Allie another petite orgasm. Alice also enjoys a small one herself. When she is done, she looks up into both kids' eyes and sees them smiling down at her.
Together, they say, "Thanks, Mom." Then they giggle.
Alice looks at Adam and asks, "Will you eat me out, Adam? I need my boy, the true 'Man of the House,' to service me." Adam nods, grinning.
Alice gets up and actually runs to her room to strip out of her clothes and returns to them on the couch. She asks Allie, "Move over to the far end, baby girl. I want to lay my head in your lap while our husband eats my pussy."
Allie smiles and says, "Of course, Momma."
Both get into position and after that, Adam climbs up to the provided room and gets himself ready to faceplant into his other wife's steaming hot pussy. Not one to disappoint, Adam brings Alice to two screaming orgasms in less than 15 minutes and leaves her shaking in Allie's lap while getting them all some water.
When Alice comes down, she looks up into Allie's smiling face. "You cleaned out my ass, Momma. I thought you weren't gonna do that again after that first time?"
"It is too hot not to after watching that powerful pummeling Adam gave your ass, and it just felt right." Alice shrugs. Then she continues, "I may have been too hasty the first time. I kinda like the nasty feeling I got over me when I did it, too." She giggles, and Allie joins her.
"You can be as nasty or not as you want, Alice. That, too, is your right in this House." Adam declares. "You too, Allie honey. Not that you have been exactly holding back." He teases her with a grin. Allie playfully slaps his shoulder, blushing a bit. "Who's ready for a dirty shower to maybe get clean?" Adam asks.
Allie immediately puts up both hands, saying, "Ooh, Me, Me, Me!"
"Yes, Please!!" Alice replies, too. They all laugh, and working together, they get off the couch and head for the shower with Adam's arms around both women's shoulders.
The shower is as dirty and clean as all the other showers before. Adam gets both women off again while finger fucking them simultaneously while the two make out. Then, the women take care of Adam before everyone washes everyone else. They climb from the shower, happy and satisfied.
Noting the time, the three ordered Chinese again and got three orders of Pepper Steak with two brown rice and a single white rice, mixing it after arrival and, of course, ordering two orders of Spring rolls and crab rangoon. When their meal is done, they curl up to watch a little TV together. A little early, they proceed to Alice's room, where they make love until they fall asleep. The rest of the week is silent by comparison.
Adam and Allie meet for lunch each day. Alice was once sent to work with Chinese leftovers. She giggles at the latest note from Allie: 'Enjoy this brown meal. Sorry, no cream filling. Allie.'
Alice loves her daughter so much and thinks, 'Not that long ago, we weren't this close. Just a small matter of a little incest to bring them together so tightly.' She giggles to herself. 'I wouldn't change a thing though. Well, maybe start sooner.' She giggles again. She treats them to a nice dinner on the town Friday evening, celebrating Adam's heroism and the family's overwhelming love and, of course, getting home to a night of hot sex and gentle lovemaking.
Adam's handling of the incident reaches Sensei Ono's ears. The following Saturday, Adam shows up as has become his routine: half an hour early to stretch, then attending class at 1 p.m. After class, Sensei pulls him aside before he leaves.
"Come back at 5 O'clock Adam."
Adam nods, and Sensei gives one in return, knowing Adam understood. Adam returns as instructed. He presents himself to the Sensei a few minutes early. Sensei's eyes flick to the clock, and a small smile crosses his face like a ghost and is gone.
"You will be taking additional training after hours directly from me for the next month, Adam. No one is to be told of these extra training sessions. Understood?"
"I understand about telling no one, Sensei, but what other training will I be receiving, may I ask?"
"You will see Adam. I will tell you after why I am doing this. Clear?"
"Yes, Sensei. Thank you."
"Now take a minute and get ready, then take position on the mat."
"Yes, Sensei."
Adam had a class with Sensei and continued to do so over the next month, including a few extra days during the week, as discussed. At the end of the last class, Sensei puts Adam into the rest position and then said, "You did very well, Adam. Just as I expected. Now, did you figure out on your own why I gave you these instructions and what these training sessions were for?"
"No, Sensei. I know the new training was harder than the others, but not for what purpose or why. I'm sorry if I failed you in this."
Sensei shakes his head, "No failure, Adam. Just curious if you might reason it out."
"No, Sensei, I just accepted what you said, as any good pupil should." Ono chuckles, unable to contain his growing respect for this honorable young man.
Adam is surprised at the uncharacteristic emotional display but doesn't question it. "Adam, you will not train anymore this week. Practice on your own, and be ready next Saturday to test for your next belt," he says with an enigmatic smirk.
Adam is surprised but is excited that his Sensei feels him ready. He next thinks of Allie and Alice. "Excuse me, Sensei, but are spectators allowed at this test? I'm sure my wife and mother-in-law would like to watch it. They have been very supportive of me these last few months plus."
"Yes, you are allowed guests, but the test will not be conducted here. Several others will be tested as well. So it is being held at the Hilton Garden Inn downtown as we will need the space. Be there at 9 am next Saturday and ready to Test. You must have your Gee and current belt."
"Yes, Sensei, I will be ready," Adam says. Ono nods, knowing Adam will be more than ready.
"Goodnight, Adam." Ono nods and walks off. Adam is surprised and relieved that his Sensei thinks he is capable and ready. He gathers everything and leaves for home.
Over the following week, he kept up his stretching and practiced his training, watching his form in the mirror at the gym on campus. A couple of times, some people stopped to watch him and most of those girls. He ignored them all and was happy with his readiness on Saturday. They arrived early, and Adam found his ladies' places to sit and watch. Then, he headed to the changing area to change into his Gee and apply his belt.
As it turns out, Adam is the last to Test. When called to the mat, he performs all his instructed moves, strikes, kicks, and Katas perfectly. He then sparred with a black belt assigned as his sparring partner. Adam is fierce and controlled in every attack and counterattack. Without a single misstep, Adam beats the senior combatant, showing all the skill and dexterity with strength and grace that is expected. Adam doesn't see it, but Ono smiles outright at his unknowingly star pupil.
With Adam's test complete, he is directed to return to the waiting position. The gathered masters on the panel discuss his performance. The decision is made quickly and noted. The masters return to their positions by rank, Ono to the right of the man in the center. All the students are called back to the mat. Each successful testing pupil is awarded the belt tested for, until only Adam is left. Ono steps forward and has Adam turn to the audience, and he begins speaking.
"I am Master Takagi Ono. This is my pupil, Adam Erickson. Today, Adam will not be presented with the next belt he thinks he was testing for today, his Red belt." Adam slumps slightly for a second, then returns to proper form. Ono sees his reaction and barely contains the smile he wants to share with everyone.
He continues, "Instead, Adam will receive his Black Belt. Adam was given this opportunity because of an incident at his college earlier this year. Another student attempted to accost Adam's new bride, and Adam stepped in to defend her honor and person. As it turns out, she also had a hand in that I also heard." Ono looks at Allie quickly with a tiny smile. "Adam, in that confrontation, used only the force and training required to negate the threat and left the man in question only slightly injured, mostly to his pride, then disengaged. I'm told to receive significant praise from the gathered crowd and a pleased wife."
"Adam was then given additional training separately as an unknown, until now, reward for handling himself in the honorable traditions within all martial arts. With his perfect test and sparring, he demonstrated absolute control and precision in all aspects of his skills. Therefore, with permission of our esteemed Senior Master, James Chandler, who I requested specifically for Adam's test, Adam will receive his Black Belt now. With Master Chandlers' permission, I will present Adam's new Black Belt." Adam's eyes go wide, but that is the only reaction the young man makes this time, Ono notes with that enigmatic smile again.
Master Chandler himself steps down from the small raised platform. This was where the Masters had been seated on cushions traditionally. He accepts the Black Belt from a Junior Black Belt. The man who had been selected as Adams' sparring partner. He then moves fluidly to stand before Adam as Ono moves to his right again. The man is younger than many would expect for a master of his rank. Actually, he is several years younger than Ono himself. He speaks quietly to Adam.
Then, he formally presents the belt to Master Ono to apply. He then steps aside, facing the crowd.
"The feats this young man has accomplished in recent memory of the gathered masters have only been done by one other pupil. Myself. I was brought into the discipline as a teenager with my brother. Together, we have risen to the level we have achieved with the guidance of many excellent masters. The best of them is our ultimate Master, Sensei Chuck Norris, the creator of this particular discipline. It was initially based on Korean teachings but incorporated many components from several others, creating what has become Tang Soo Do. Adam exemplifies these concepts. I was asked by his Sensei here, Master Ono, to attend to witness this man's diligence in the craft we honor today. That said, Adam will now be presented with his new Black Belt."
Master Chandler then nods to Ono to begin. Ono nods in return and speaks to Adam. "Attention." Adam snaps to attention. "Remove your old belt and hold it at your side." Adam removes the Blue Belt he currently wears and then returns to attention. Ono then steps forward and wraps Adam in his new belt. When completed, he moves in front of Adam again and bows respectfully. Adam returns the bow formally. The presentation is complete, and Master Chandler returns to the platform, as does Ono, leaving Adam standing alone.
All the others return to the mat, surrounding Adam to either side by rank, leaving him in the center, mirroring the platform. The Masters stand and call the pupils to Attention, then begin to applaud them, their pride evident. The crowd immediately stands and joins them. Unknown to Adam, several in the crowd were present when Adam dealt with the Frat boy QB. The chant begins again: "Adam, Adam, Adam, Adam."
After a solid minute, Master Ono releases the pupils. Adam releases his attention, but rather than going to Allie and Alice, he turns to the Platform. He stands before the gathered Masters and bows deeply Hands in the salute of respect to them. All the other pupils see Adams show of respect and join him again in rank order. To a man, they return Adam's salute. Ono then smiles broadly at Adam and nods again, the pride in the young man evident on his face. Adam recovers from the bow and steps back from the Masters two paces before turning away. Adam then proceeds to congratulate the others. Later, he quietly tells the few who did not win their belts he would work with them. All of them thank him.
Adam then leaves the mat to find Alice and Allie. Allie jumps him, squealing her pride for her husband, kissing all over his face in her excitement. Adam can't help himself and starts laughing.
Alice waits for Adam to be free from Allie for a few seconds, then hugs and kisses his cheek chastely, whispering, "I'm so proud of you, Adam. You really are the Man of the House as well as our Hearts. I love you very much, my son."
Adam smiles back at his mother with tears in his eyes and just nods, unable to speak. He then gathers his things and his ladies, one on each arm, and leaves the room, head held high, floating on a cloud at the praise from his Sensei, Wife, and Mother. The little Family returns home to clean up, of course, with a family shower and much fooling around. Then Alice took her children out to dinner, again in Adam's honor. Alice even calls for a car to take them to and from the restaurant in style. Also, knowing the alcohol will flow at least some, it is better to be safe than sorry.
When they return home, the ladies undress Adam sensually. When he is seated in his chair, both ladies slowly strip for him, and it doesn't take long as neither woman has on any undergarments. Both women then take turns with Adam, Alice first as it is her 'responsibility' as Woman of the House. She rides Adam slowly in the cowgirl position while making out with her son, whom she is so proud of. After she cums, it's Allies' turn, and she rides Adam more aggressively, like the position described as a wild cowgirl on the wildest bronco alive. Adam enjoys both ways immensely because he loves his ladies with all his heart, not to mention his rock-hard cock. Adam fills Allie with her first creampie to an earth-shattering orgasm for them both.
Then Alice moves to 'clean up' Allie as Adam takes her from behind passionately but not hard this time. Adam fills Alice's pussy with her creampie next, and of course, Allie, with a huge grin, jumps her mom and 'cleans' her up too. While Allie cleans up Alice, Adam goes down on his wife from behind. Both women cum together, both squirting in the face eating them. As is their short history Adam then plows Alice bent over the couch in the ass to full-throated screams of pleasure as she orgasms with Adam dumping a new load in her ass while Allie licks her from below. Once again, Allie cleans up Alice and gets taken by Adam again, slurping at her quim and lapping at her backdoor for good measure.
Then the women switch, so Alice is eating Allie from below, as Adam hits that brown eye and fills his wife with another anal creampie. Alice cleans Allie up after again getting to like the nasty side of the equation and loving hearing her daughter cum again. Lastly, the ladies put Adam back in his chair for a double blow job, supposedly to clean Adam, but he sprays their faces with his last effort of the night. Adam sits there completely drained and satisfied as the ladies clean his cum from each other's faces and then snowball it for a bit. After several minutes of recovery and naked cuddling, they slip into the shower. The kissing continues until everyone is clean, and they all head to the Master bedroom to sleep until morning.
The morning comes, with Adam waking first to enjoy lying there with both women curled up to him. He slowly and gently caresses their backs, enjoying the ever-so-soft skin under his fingertips.
Alice wakes first, and Adam leans down and kisses his mother, whispering, "Good morning, Mom."
She smiles and, after another soft kiss, whispers, "Good morning, my beautiful Son."
They continue kissing until Allie wakes a few minutes later. After a final kiss on Alice's forehead, he turns to greet his wife.
"Good morning, dear Wife and Sister." Adam grins.
Allie smiles the tired smile of a cat just waking. "Good morning, Husband and Brother. Good morning, Mom." Adam kisses Allie for a few minutes like he did Alice.
They all sigh and then chuckle together. Adam squeezes his ladies in a hug, showing them how much he loves them both.
Allie asks, "Can we just stay in bed today?" As she asks this, she reaches across and pinches Alice's exposed nipple playfully. Alice giggles and returns the favor.
Adam chuckles, then replies, "How about after lunchtime, Allie-girl? I'm still recharging."
"Promise?"
"I will even fuck you in the ass first. How's that?"
"Yippee!" Adam and Alice just laugh. Everyone slowly rolls out and begins their Sunday together.
Together, they make breakfast, all still stark naked. Except Alice wears an apron while cooking the bacon. Adam and Allie make pancakes while Alice completes the bacon. They sit down to eat after getting a minimal amount of clothes on so as not to stick to the dining table chairs. After breakfast and everything is cleaned up, they cuddle up on the couch for some Netflix and chill since winter has moved in and Adam can no longer play soccer until spring.
As the time stretches, Allie begins to squirm, ready for Adam to fuck her ass. Both Adam and Alice note her less-than-subtle wiggling around. They share a smile, and without a word, Adam stands up and picks up Allie, flipping her to all fours and pulling her panties off. Adam immediately sees Allie's pussy is wet and pushes his throbbing member into his wife. Allie moans in deep satisfaction. After a few minutes, Allie cums a small orgasm, and with this wetness, Adam pulls from her hot box and pushes into her ass as promised.
He builds speed quickly, to Allie's delight and Alice's too. She watches her son pound his wife and sister to first her vaginal and then to a massive Anal orgasm. Alice has her hand in her panties in the beginning but soon whips them off to stuff her pussy with three fingers. As Allie gets off, so does Alice. When Adam unloads into Allie, he pulls from his wife's ass and presents his cock to his mother. Alice immediately slurps up her son's cock and cleans him quickly, then spreads her legs for Adam to eat her out. Adam hits his knees with a grin and dives into Alice's hot pussy.
After he gives her a sizable orgasm, he climbs up and fucks her passionately, filling her soaking box with another load. Then he surprises both women and goes down on Alice and slurps his own cum from her quim. Allie looks at him, a little disappointed. Adam smiles with his lips closed and pulls her to him. He pushes the load from his mouth to Allie's, and she eagerly slurps it up.
When the load is down her throat, Allie moans and says to Adam, "What a surprise, baby. Then to push it to me was so dirty I loved it."
Alice grins and says, "Damn, Adam. You definitely know how to take nasty to the next level, that was fucking hot." She then leans up and kisses Adam passionately, followed by Allie. They assume their usual cuddling position and take a nap, everyone snoring lightly.
An hour later, the Ericksons wake happily together. Adam kisses both ladies gently. Then he has a great idea for something to do that afternoon besides sex. He tells the ladies, "Okay, I have an idea for something fun outside the house but still inside. Let's get some comfy clothes on for the weather and be ready in 15 minutes. Don't ask. It's a surprise." He grins as Allie mock pouts slightly.
They all head to the rooms for clothes. Fifteen minutes later, they head down to the garage, and everyone climbs into Alice's new BMW sedan. Adam takes the wheel after opening the rear door, saying, "In the back, ladies. When we get close, I will ask you to close your eyes like when we went to Makeout Park, okay?"
They both smile and say together, "Yes, Adam." They then giggle together. Adam chuckles and blows them kisses before hopping in the driver's seat, of course, after pushing the seat back that had fit his petite Mom before.
Adam drives to their destination. When he gets nearby, he tells them, "Time to close those eyes, ladies."
He hears, "Yes, Adam." And more giggling.
Adam drives into a different side of the nearby large mall than usual and parks near his destination. He directs the ladies out still with eyes closed, then leads them, one on each arm, to their destination before saying, "Okay, open up, ladies." Before the little family was a massive arcade with indoor slides, bumper cars, a go-kart track, and all the arcade games one could imagine. Both women are surprised, but Allie squeals in delight and jumps on Adam. Alice smiles at the novel idea her son has devised for an activity for them all. She leans in and kisses his cheek when it's safe to do so, with Allie excitedly jumping up and down. They spend the afternoon doing all the rides anyone wants to try and every game that attracts their attention. Adam wins them each a huge stuffed animal, a giant Bunny for Alice, and an 'Old school' Teddy Bear for Allie. They head home, happy as can be, to a lovely dinner at home cooked together. They make love that night before the kids put Alice to bed for work in the morning.
When Adam next goes to the Dojo, he is called before Master Ono. Sensei says, "Adam, I want you to take a few of the young low-level classes and teach them. Find one of each of the 3 lowest belts and find your comfort with them. Teach them our techniques but, most importantly, our ways. The beliefs we hold sacred, Adam. Honor, humor, respect for others and self, love of all life, everything that makes us Tang Soo Do practitioners. Let them know that no one knows everything. There is always more to learn in the Arts and Life. You have embodied these ideals, Adam, since your first day, even if you did not know it then. Guide them to become the best person they can become, as you have."
Adam is stunned that Master Ono says these things to him but responds, "Sensei, I may be these things, but I have other things that are outside the norm. Many would object if they knew."
"Ah, you mean the love between you, your Sister, and your Mother. Yes, that is unusual to many, but it is not wrong for you or them. Do you know why, Adam?"
"I can only tell you that I love them with all I am and hope to be."
"Precisely. You are not in these relationships just for the baser ideals and instincts many attribute to such a relationship. I do not prescribe to those limited viewpoints. I believe that the most important thing in this world is Love. Everything else comes a distant second. If there is Love, True Love, most things can be conquered. Over the next week, find those classes that fit into your school schedule." Ono bows with Adam and steps away to begin his next class.
Adam is stunned with the confidence that Master Ono has in him to request him to teach the lower belts. More so, he knows about Allie, Alice, and his relationship and does not judge them poorly. He decides to do what his Sensei requests but also plans to ask how he knew about the love of his little family. Over the week, Adam comes in each afternoon after his college classes to identify where an instructor is needed and accepts those times. In his 10 -12 year old White belt class, he notes one particular student struggling. His name is Brian, and his confidence isn't coming up as expected with most students. He notes his father comes and watches him with a small smile for his boy. Other times, he drops Brian off and picks him up after class.
After clearing it with his father, Adam decides to work with Brian after his normal class for an extra 30 minutes. At no additional charge, as it is Adams' time anyway. After five to six weeks, he excels in his normal classes and doesn't need the extra time. Soon after Adam assesses him, he is ready to take his test for Yellow Belt and clears it with Master Ono. A testing series is approaching for others, and Adam gets Brian's name added to those to test this series. Brian passes his test with flying colors, both to Dad's and Brian's pleasure. Both Thank Adam for his extra help earlier. Adam just nods with respectful humility.
Going into the Holidays, the little family goes all out and gets a 9' Christmas tree. They added all new ornaments except the few sentimental ones from the kids' childhoods. They invited Bull to a Christmas dinner that Allie and Adam cooked for them. Centerpieced by a 20-pound Spiral cut Honey ham. Sides included candied yams, cornbread, Ambrosia salad, roasted vegetables, and small white potatoes. The dessert was a beautiful New York cheesecake. Even Bull got full enough to need a nap before trundling off to his apartment. They all enjoyed his company, and each regaled him with tales from their early days. Even Alice told a nice one, including a then good husband and father. Even the kids didn't remember that as they were still small.
Once school started back after winter break, Adam received a short list of the companies he had a shot at getting an internship at. These are the ones he had been preparing for since the fall. On top was the number one company he wanted, and so did everyone else. Little did Adam know it, but he had an inside track due to an as-yet-unknown connection. When the interviews were scheduled, Adam was last at the preferred company. When he showed up, he was surprised to see a familiar face across the interview table. Brad Merrill, Brian's father. Both men smiled and shook hands enthusiastically. Brad got down to the interview after a few minutes of the usual relaxing conversation before an interview. Adam impressed Brian with his knowledge, passion, and work ethic. Adam would be informed in a few days if he was selected, and the two men shook hands again, just as friendly as at the start. Not surprisingly, Adam was informed the very next day by his Mentor, Prof. O'Conner, that Brad had selected him to join them at his firm as his Intern.
Once again, Alice went all out for Adam that Friday. She took the kids out to a nice dinner, including the car and driver. They all had a wonderful time again, including the nearby other patrons, when Alice announced Adam's latest achievement with a toast. The pride on both the women's faces was unmistakable. Adam took it in a quiet stride and blushed profusely but held his head up and didn't return to the shy guy he had been just a few years ago. The wine was ordered for the table, and with those two bottles, other patrons added another two, showing their wish to help the celebration continue. The family shared a glass with both senders in thanks. Closing out the night at home with another night dedicated to pleasing Adam by his ladies. He made sure to give as good as he got, though. The late night was followed by a semi-lazy morning of making out and making love again.
As soon as he showed up at the Firm, Adam began pitching in and learning everything there was to know. All the engineers were duly impressed with his grasp of some of the more complex concepts that he hadn't even had through the university yet. When a new project was to be built at the design and proposal level, Adam was thrown in to see how he would fare. Brad grinned broadly at both Adam and his fellow engineers as Adam crushed the project, and he was able to show how to come in under the original budget. The company received the project, and of course, Adam was right there at Brad's elbow. When another project for a road expansion and bridge partial renovation came in, the Wonder team nailed that one, too. This time, Adam credited Bull for giving an insight into roads from the user perspective, and again, the project was under budget and on time.
When another project came in, it was another new aspect for Adam, who dove right in. Brad even slowly backed off to see how well Adam would perform essentially on his own. He killed it again two weeks early, and it was way under budget. Every engineer in the building wanted to work with Adam. Some would even search him out for a consultation on a problem that just didn't seem right on their project. Adam would see the issue and lead the questioning engineer to the answer. He made friends and close professional associations with most of the company, especially Brad.
While Adam was crushing everything at the Engineering firm, Allie was killing it in her core classes. As spring approached, she looked for a summer job. As she and Alice began talking about babies, she hit upon a job at a daycare center. While there, she had a few of their charges get minor injuries: scraps, bruises, and one split lip. Allie then began thinking about medicine and becoming a nurse. She, as usual, discussed it with her mother and then Adam.
He smiled and said, "You do what makes you happy, Allie Honey. I'm sure you will excel at whatever you put your mind to." This insight and emotional display surprised both women. Allie blushed fiercely at the praise from her loving husband and brother. Alice smiled at Adam with love and no small amount of affection at the way he encouraged Allie. Allie added Medical assistant classes to her fall class schedule after a quick talk with the University's Guidance counselor.
Alice goes on to improve both her new department and the bank overall. Both improving efficiency and morale that was lightly needed but not directly addressed until Alice arrived. The aging bank manager watches Alice putting the staff through their paces and sees them respond amazingly. He has found what he has been searching for for a couple of years now. His replacement, but he keeps the idea to himself for the next several months while working more directly with Alice and getting her ready to take over without letting on his intentions. Like Adam and Allie, Alice, too whips every challenge sent her way.
Over the summer, Adam was brought on-site to begin one of the current new projects under Brad's watchful eye and, even more so, Adam's. Once again, Brad slowly steps back, letting Adam take on as much as he can, offering only a little guidance from time to time. At the end of the summer, the project is complete and again under budget and an entire month early. Adam is celebrated by the firm and, of course, by his ladies. Adam even accomplishes this while taking a week off for a summer vacation with his ladies to the Florida Keys on a beautiful old Wooden boat.
In the Fall, School restarted for the young Ericksons. Adam returns to praise from his mentors and peers, having heard about his handling of the summer project. As usual, Adam takes compliments with a light blush and nods. Humility is definitely his strong suit. Allie continues to work at the daycare while jumping in with both feet into her Medical Assistant classes, and she excels in every aspect as she has obviously found her passion, caring for and healing children.
Christmas is celebrated as last year with an even bigger tree. Bull again joins the Ericksons for Christmas dinner and even brings a date--ironically, one of the dancers from the club, Caitlyn. However, the family discovers she is special as she has captured the big guy's heart. They also didn't realize the two had been dating for a while, and Bull surprised them all by bending his knee and asking her to marry him.
