Golden Change
Jacob’s name was among them.
    Kylie was anxious as she waited for Aiden to return from work. She met him at the door with the formal envelopes in her hand. Rushing into his arms, she said, “Eight! Eight boys want to come!” Kylie pecked him on the mouth before fanning the envelopes for him to see.
    They talked about it over dinner.
    “Now it is up to us to decide who we will offer apprenticeships to. What cadets do you want to extend the offer to?” he asked her.
    “I think Jacob. Or do you have to invite Dylan as well, since you knew his dad?” she asked.
    “Yes, but I think I can work it out. I think Mason was interested in Dylan as well as Jacob.” Aiden had seniority over Mason at work since he had ranked higher when they were in the military. “Mason and I talked today. I told him we were most interested in Jacob and he said they were most interested in Dylan. Dylan comes from old money and, while Jacob is of a good military family, I think Cheryl is enamored of being connected to Dylan’s family.”

    Jacob found their house easily enough. They lived in a housing development made up of enormous houses built on huge pieces of property. Although they were in the middle of a desert, the properties sported large fruit trees. He parked his vehicle in front of their garage. The vehicle was on loan from his parents. It was old, but functional.
    As he got out of the vehicle, he put a hand to his stomach as it rumbled with queasiness. He was wearing the same pants he had worn to the interview, and didn’t bother with a shirt. He got his duffle from the back of the car and walked up to the front door.
    He rang the bell, taking a deep breath.
    The door flew open after a few seconds by Aiden. “Hello Jacob!” He shook Jacob’s hand, grabbing his tote bag from him and leading him into the house.
    Kylie came around the corner. His breath caught when he saw her. Her face lit up when she saw him. She was even more beautiful with her hair down, and her countenance visibly relaxed.
    Her breasts bounced slightly under her sheer gown as she rushed forward. She was wearing an apron, which unfortunately concealed her nipples.
    “I’m so glad you came to stay with us, Jacob.” She wrapped her arms around his stomach to hug him. As she brought her body to press against him, he felt a jolt of heat run through his body. He had never been hugged by Zehavian women other than family. He felt a slow thickening begin in his cock as he hugged her back.
    “You can leave your bag here for now, Jacob,” Aiden said. “We were going to sit down for lunch. Have you eaten yet?” he asked.
    “I had a snack earlier, but I’d love lunch,” Jacob responded. He removed his boots after noticing that both Kylie and Aiden were barefoot. He set his boots by his bag that was resting in the doorway. Kylie led them back through the foyer into the kitchen, where plates of sandwiches were on the counter.
    “I’ve made some earth dishes I hope you like. I still haven’t got the hang of cooking your style,” Kylie said with a small smile.
    Aiden didn’t comment, but met his eyes significantly.
    “Aiden has been trying to get me to hire a cook,” she continued. “I’m pretty good for breakfast and lunch but can’t get the hang of Zehavians-type dinners. I think he is getting used to earth dishes though,” she said.
    “I’m sure it’s great,” Jacob said somewhat nervously at Aiden’s look.
    Jacob stood next to Aiden as Kylie placed sandwiches on platters. “Oh,” she said with a startled look when she looked up. “You’re taller than Aiden. I didn’t realize.”
    Aiden looked at him up and down, “I was wearing boots at the convention center.”
    Jacob nodded. He hadn’t noticed it until then either. He was only an inch or so taller than Aiden. Aiden had a broader chest and his muscles were more defined.
    “Would you like to eat in here”—Kylie motioned to the table situated off the kitchen—“or out in our
