Jaci's Experiment Read Online Free PDF

moment, she truly did feel better. Ruth had been right. David and Michael both had helped her acclimate some of the overwhelming emotion into her being. She felt better than she had since the accident and she knew she would come back to this cell to be with these men as often as she could in the coming days. She needed them if she was to survive this transformation and more than that, she liked them and wanted to get to know them on a more personal level than just as jailor and inmate.

    “Jaci 192, is everything all right? I was sent to check on your progress.”
    Jaci sighed with relief as she recognized the new voice at the energized arch that was the only opening into the cell. She turned to her subordinate with a calm expression on her face.
    “I am well, Lita 498. I am also pleased to see that your injury is healed. How does it feel?” She made small talk as she moved toward the arch, indicating with a small nod they would discuss the matter of the monitor outside the range of the Breeds, as was only prudent.
    She left the monitors off as she lowered the energy field and left the room with the other girl. She reenergized the arch, but had left the monitors off inside the cell. To switch them on so quickly after Lita’s arrival would only raise suspicion. She turned to Lita 498, explaining the supposed monitor malfunction to the other woman. The lower-graded tech took Jaci’s explanation at face value. After all, the monitors were not entirely infallible and failures were more common than the Maras wanted to admit. Lita left to report back to their superiors and Jaci calculated in her mind a reasonable time for fixing the malfunction she’d claimed.
    It gave her just a few minutes with the cousins to explain before she’d have to turn the monitor back on.
    It would have to be enough. She reentered the room calmly, then broke into a grin as she reenergized the arch behind her.
    “I only have a few minutes.” She moved to the area by the monitor so she’d be ready when the time came to turn it back on. “I turn this off every day when I come in for routine maintenance. Once each week, I also run a self-diagnostic program that takes approximately ten minutes. It is offline during the diagnostic, so we can talk freely. Every once in a while, perhaps once a month or sometimes twice, the device will jam. That’s what I told them happened today. Such problems can be cleared up usually in about twenty minutes.” Her orderly mind wanted to give them all the facts.
    “So you’re saying you won’t be able to spend this much time with us very often.” Mike nodded. “We’ll work with that, now that we know what to expect.”

    She sighed with relief. “Thank you.” Her eyes sought each of them. “Thank you both. I honestly don’t think I could face this without your support. I was so frightened.”
    Dave moved forward and hugged her close, bending to place a fierce kiss on her lips. He was making up for the kiss Mike had given her, wanting his share and cementing his claim. The message was clear.
    The cousins wanted her. Both of them. Equally.
    “Dream of us.”
    He sent one last tingling jolt of his healing power through her in reassurance, then drew back. She knew the time had come to switch on the monitor and go back to her emotionless existence. Emotionless on the outside at least. Inside she was dealing with amazing changes she was only just beginning to understand.
    Jaci slept well for the first time since accidentally exposing herself, and dreamed of four strong arms holding her close within a tight circle of security. She dreamed of the kisses she’d shared with the two cousins and more that she could only imagine.
    She’d had sex with several different partners as part of her duties, but she’d never made love. That last encounter with Grady Prime was perhaps as close as she’d ever come. In the rare free moments since her exposure, she’d begun to review the databases of human writings and
