Karen Bancroft-Wong, At The Beach.

Karen Bancroft and James Wong had been married for over twenty years. They had raised two lovely girls. Jin who was twenty and May who was eighteen. Three of them were enjoying a tropical getaway vacation in a small bungalow with a private beach. Jin was off skiing with her girlfriend Jane. James had worked hard and provided for a lavish lifestyle for his family. But the money had come at a cost. Even now, while his wife and daughters were enjoying sunbathing topless, James was in the house either on the phone with his partners or writing code for his company's next big launch. While Karen knew that her husband was on the cusp of a huge capital windfall and now was a crucial time for his business, she wished that he would make more time for her. Recently, when James came to bed at all, he seemed to be going through the motions, lovemaking had become stale. Karen had learned to take solace in her battery operated friends and the money James provided.

"Look what I found." May said. running up from the surf, the water glistening on her teenage body, with the gold lamp in her hands. "It must have washed up. It looks like a genie's lamp." The teenage girl laughed as she handed the gold trinket to her mother.

"Quite a find sweetie." Karen said. "Looks like it is real gold."

"Can you read the inscription?" May asked.

"Not really." Karen said as she rubbed the lamp.

Suddenly smoke began to pour out of the lamp. The two women screamed as the blue vapors formed into the shape of a lovely young man.

Jason felt it. Like a leash around his neck tugging on his throat. He felt the pull of his owner. He turned to see the middle aged redhead holding the lamp and smiled. "Mistress." Jason said as he got down on his knees and bowed down to Karen. " Your wish is my command."

"What?" Karen asked incredulously.

"I know. It does sound really pompous. But seriously. My name is Jason, and I am your new sex genie." The pretty boy clad in blue said as he got to his feet. "I know. This is insane, these things do not happen in real life. But a few minutes ago I was jogging in Manhattan and now I am empowered with cosmic forces and charged with satisfying the sexual desires of whoever owns me."

"Owns you? You mean that you are a ****?" May asked sounding horrified.

"You make it sound like a bad thing." Jason said. "I have been given a job, when that job is finished, I will be rewarded. My job is to fulfill whatever carnal cravings the person who possesses the lamp might have. Whoever possesses the lamp, possesses me." Jason said as his gaze fixed upon Karen.

"Mom." May said looking intently at her mother.

"What is your wish, My Mistress?" Jason asked Karen.
