Excerpt for The Elixir

"What kind of wine is this again?" Thomas took another gulp, and then sat back with an appreciative look at the nearly empty glass.

"Chardonnay." Barb took her own look, at a nearly empty bottle. "If I never get back home, I'm going to miss wine."

"It is miraculous," pronounced Roland, holding his glass up to allow light from the overhead fixture to shine through the liquid. "Just as I'd read."

"It's good all right," Barb agreed, "But nothing comes close to that elixir of yours for its sheer, mind-altering capability."

"That still amazes me," Thomas said. "It has only minor effects on us. I wonder why it changes you so much."

"I wonder also, but not as much as I enjoy the changes." Roland raised his brow and smiled.

Barb divided the rest of the wine among their glasses. "Truth be told, I've never done this kind of thing before. Have sex with two men, I mean. It's an experience I could never imagine. You two are incredible."

Roland regarded her quizzically. "Do you not have a man in your time, Barbara?"

"No. I have a very good friend, but we've never taken our relationship further." She thought of Tommy and wondered what he had made of her disappearance. Did he miss her? Like her, did he now wish they'd carried their feelings beyond mere friendship?

Thomas finished off his wine and set the glass in the steamer, a machine that sterilized glasses after use. Since they didn't eat in the usual sense, there was no need for any other type of cleaner. There was still a small sink, because in this brave, new world they hadn't found a way to deprive the body of water.

Thomas regarded her. "Is Tommy your friend?"

Surprised, Barb cocked her head and studied him. "How did you know?"

"You called me Tommy when we first found you. And, Barb, you talk sometimes in your sleep."

Heat flushed her cheeks. "I didn't know."

"Do many of your people go without sex?" Roland wanted to know.

"Not so many. But most people get married and have sex with the same partner. It's not that common for people to be with two lovers at once."

"But why not? Is it not more pleasurable?"

"Much more pleasurable." She shrugged. "But it's just not accepted. Do you two always visit the House of Women together?"

"Yes. For the hours we are there we share everything. It heightens everyone's enjoyment."

"I would find sharing you enjoyable right now," Thomas said, sounding a little shy. His cheeks held color that hadn't been there before they'd drunk the alcohol.

"Are you free from pain, Barbara? Can I give you some elixir?" Even Roland's eyes held a spark she hadn't seen before. She kept her smile private. All from two small glasses of wine.

"I don't feel bad." With boldness she hadn't shown before, she leaned across the table corner and kissed Roland, teasing his lips with her tongue.
