Nidaja nodded to Nita slowly as she explained the matters at hand.  Alps didn't like any of this.  It was scary to be stuck in a body that was not his own, especially not knowing where his real body had gone.  He felt very detached.  And it was only getting worse!

 

                "Alps.. you cannot tell anyone what is going on right now.  No one who doesn't already know." she explained.  Nidaja nodded, Alps' mind understanding.  He was slowly adjusting to being female.  The physical difference was perhaps the most frightening.  Now, he was being told that he had to ACT like Nidaja!  The harrowing and disturbing trip to the bathroom, and having to greet the members of the high council already this morning had both been tests on his sanity.  Nidaja would be excused from any military functions for a few days.  Everyone would be told that she was merely very sick, but would get better.  Nidaja's Alps-possessed body would avoid contact with everyone until he could get his body back.

 

                Nita looked up as she heard quick footsteps approach the door to her slightly darkened chambers.  The door swung open without so much as a knock.  It was Misty.  She had Azia in tow.  Azia nearly crashed into the back of the council member as she stopped quickly.

 

                "I found out where Alps went!" she panted.  Nidaja looked down, knowing that her eyes would give away the truth.  Azia moved over and hugged Nidaja however, very awkwardly for the residing Alps.  Those two had definitely become best friends in the time they had been together.  Being around her woul be difficult, because Alps could not tell her it wasn't really Nidaja, and he'd feel guilty if he was intimate in any way with anyone in a body that was not his own.  he had their feelings, and Nidaja's to think of.  Alps wondered if Nidaja would be so honorable with his body as he was trying to be with hers.  He hadn't explored this new form at all, leaving it mostly untouched in any way possible.

 

                "Where?" Nita asked impatiently.  Alps noted that the experience had really confused Nita and Misty as much as it had him.  Why would Nidaja take his body.  Alps felt a sinking feeling of dread.  Had she seen something that made her take his body somewhere in his memories?  Was she going to put his body in danger?

 

                "Alps showed up this morning at the docks." Azia answered, Nita and Nidaja both looking up at her stressfully.  "Tia was going to visit her grandfather and bring him some money and some supplies to help out, since things have calmed down." the white-furred female explained.  "Is everything okay?"

 

                "Yes, fine." Nidaja said.  "Please continue."  Nita smiled, looking at the form of her sister.  Alps was trying very hard to imitate her.  He even tried to get some of hr inflections down.  The hadest thing Alps had to imitate was Nidaja's confidence.  Alps had learned a little confidence in his ability to help Nita and the others when they needed him, but he was still fearful and servile to the other matriarchs, which Nidaja was not, and so, Nita decided to limit his interaction with anyone that he didn't feel at least a little bit confident around.  Alps had no idea why they brought Azia.

 

                "Well, Alps showed up, and seemed very adamant about going with her." Azia stated.  Nita stood up, seeming ready to immediately run out and catch up.  Nidaja got up too, and then immediately sat back down, not wanting to attract more attention to herself.

 

                "Where did she go?  Where does her grandfather live?" Nita asked.  Misty seemed to be ready to go too.  Alps, within Nidaja's frame, wondered if they were all going to go.  Who would watch the castle then?   Nidaja then cringed hard, and felt her heart totally sink, as the fact hit home.  Tia's grandfather.  He lived in-

 

                "The town of Luca." she answered.  Nidaja began to tremble.  It was suddenly so easy to understand.  Nita and Misty both looked at the disguised Alps.

 

                "Oh god... No..." Nidaja said.

 

                "Beg pardon?" Azia asked.

 

                "N..Nothing.." Nidaja said softly.  Nita stood up and looked to Azia.  She seemed to be trying more to take Azia's attention off of Nidaja.  Alps was thankful.

 

                "I take it Tia and Alps took your boat?" she asked.  Azia nodded.

 

                "Then Nidaja.. you may have Uri and Misha take you to Jalana and you can go to Luca from there." Nita proclaimed.  "Azia, Misty and I need to remain here to handle our growing defense docket in your absence." she said.  "Please hurry!"

 

                                                                -------------------------------------------

 

                "You know why she is going, don't you?" Nita asked Nidaja.  Within her body, Alps felt a surge of dread again.  Nidaja nodded.   Alps' mind had thought of almost nothing lse the entire time that Misty was helping Misha get the supplies for the trip ready.  Chana Feras.  Nidaja had seen his memories of Chana Feras.  Almost any of his experience with her would be enough to make Nidaja want to pay her a visit.

 

                "If she saw my memories of that place.. then yes.. I do." Nidaja said in a half whisper.  Nidaja and Nita were standing on the dock, as the sun sank low over the hills behind them.  By now, Nidaja's mind was a day of travel ahead of her body.  Alps would not be able to get to her before she arrived in Luca, no matter how hard he tried.  Azia's ship was one of the fastest ever made.  Light, agile, and a small crew, there was not a ship available that could outpace it so late in the chase.

 

                "Please forgive Nidaja.." Nita said softly. "If she succeeds in what she is trying to do." Nita added.  "She has a very deep sense of her debt to justice..." the queen explained.  Nidaja nodded softly, and heard the whistle from Uri to tell her that the ship was ready.  Nita understood.  Alps had, on one occasion, explained that his memories of Chana were so painful that h never wanted to really talk about it.  Only that things were better now, and it's all that mattered.

 

                "I will forgive her.  Don't think this never crossed my mind, on those dark and cold nights." Nidaja said, shaking her head.  "Everything will be fine.  You take care of things here." she said.  Nita nodded, and then looked around to make sure no one was looking, and then embraced Nidaja, kissing her deeply.  Nidaja kissed back, seeming to forget about the change in bodies suddenly.  Nita loved Alps so much, as to do this, just to be with him.  Right out in the open.  His heart beat faster with joy.

 

                "Hurry.. don't waste any time!" Nita said, breaking the kiss sweetly.  "Travel safely...  We still have a wedding to plan." she said.  Alps got onto the boat within his Nidaja shell, and the boat immediately weighed anchor and began to drift away from the dock.  Nidaja watched as Misty ran up the dock to join Nita in waving the boat away.  Alps looked back at them sadly.  he waved silently from the aft of the boat, as Nita's form shrank in the distance.  It was a pretty windy day, which was a good sign, but Alps was leaving with a heavy heart.  he didn't ever want to be away from Nita.  She truly loved him, and he had the deepest and most profound love for her.  the thought of being away from her again made that a lot more clear.  Misty seemed irritated about something.  Alps wondered, gazing through Nidaja's eyes, what it could be?

 

                Nita looked at Misty as she grumbled a bit, and snapped her fingers.  The queen seemed a little bit perplexed. 

 

                "What's up?" Nita asked.  "Did he forget to take something with him?' she now seemed a little worried as she considered hr beloved in a place without the things he might need when he was there.  Her worries also centralized around the fact that Alps, and her sister, in his body, were going to a border town where someone in Alps' body might be in serious peril.

 

                "No.. I just didn't get to tell Alps the big news.  I think he would have been so happy." Misty said.  Nita breathed a sigh of relief.  At least her life-mate-to-be wasn't in even more danger.  She smiled warmly.

 

                "You can tell me, then." Nita said, walking back toward the road with Misty.  "Wanna know his real name?" she asked.  Misty gasped like a little girl, clasping her hands.

 

                "Ooooh!  I'll trade you!" she cried.

 

                                                                ----------------------------------------

 

                "It's really nice to be traveling with you again." Misha said to Nidaja as she parked her hips beside the general.  Nidaja scooted a bit, wanting to minimize contact and prevent her friends from finding out the secret that she was holding.  If it became known, as Nita explained, it could cause a bit of weakness and confusion in the military and government.  However, Alps knew that he would be unable to completely avoid contact with two of Nidaja's closest friends on this trip.  It would take three days on the fast trade currents between Diera and Jalana.

 

                "I hope we can catch up to .. Alps.. before he does something silly." Nidaja said, the lupine slave internally reflecting on how different it was to hear her voice when he was speaking.  Uri padded down into the chamber below the deck.  She hopped up on the bed, the black-furred ocean-faring lupine seeming her usual spunky self.

 

                "Shall we pass the time our usual way?" she asked, wagging her tail rapidly.  Nidaja felt a hot flash through her entire body.  It was the first sensation of female arousal that the mind of the white lupine had ever experienced, and that flood of warmth was something he could not combat at all.  He knew he should shoo them away, and say that 'she' was feeling a bit seasick or something of that nature, but the thought of feeling sexual pleasure in a new body was so incredibly alluring to the very curious wolf.  His internal conflict was that it wasn't his body to play with.  It was Nidaja's.  That was all that kept him from voraciously exploring her body and pleasure on his own already.  On the other side, Alps' mind feel that acting differently would expose him, or even worse, wound Nidaja's friendships in some way.

 

                "I.. Umm.. Errr.." Nidaja stammered, shifting a bit where she sat on the bed.  She stalled for time to think about what she should do.  Misha slid around behind her, and got onto her knees, starting to massage the general's shoulders warmly.  Alps had not experienced massage since the night he spent with Uri in her secret place.  It had been heaven then, and it was heaven now.  Nidaja sighed and leaned into the massage, as Uri moved around on her knees in front of her.  The green-furred Nidaja bristled a bit with pleasure at their skilled and gentle touch, as Uri began to stroke her face.  This was like being worshipped!   He felt that it would certainly be okay to let them do this.  Especially f it were normal of them to do it.  Nidaja's tail began to swish back and forth, bopping Misha's thighs a bit, as she massaged the general's shoulders.  It was at that moment that Alps became aware of one of the biggest differences in this body.

 

                There was no pain.  Years and years of the harsh life of a slave had left Alps with many injuries that would never fully heal.  Pains and agonies that troubled him for so long that he had almost forgotten about them.  But, they were always there.  Nita had dulled them with her love, but they could never be completely removed.  Nidaja's body didn't know so many injuries, and any that she received were lovingly treated and taken care of.  Alps' pleasure in the beginnings of this massage was his complete lack of pain.  It made it impossible for him to refuse this tender attention, even in Nidaja's body.  Alps closed Nidaja's eyes and enjoyed the caress of his friends, and hers.

 

                Soft lips suddenly embraced Nidaja's own, as Uri kissed her passionately, tongue slipping in to explore readily.  Alps gave up control of the moment.  He could not help it.  Nidaja's body was being delicately plundered by these two lovers, and he was powerless to react, as Nita's sister's heart hammered faster in her chest, Alps' mind wrapped around the pleasure and the emotional happiness, enhanced by Nidaja's hormones, allowed him to feel.  He allowed them to do to Nidaja's body anything they wanted now.  He wanted it too, and by the way they were treating Nidaja, he knew she would want it just as much.  This is what she would have been doing with them, this very second.  It was time to make himself a believable General Nidaja Sara Razelle.

 

                Nidaja felt her clothes being slowly loosened, and ultimately removed, piece by piece, by Misha, as the boat lurched slowly from side to side on the current that it rode.  Upon getting those clothes off, Nidaja was pulled onto her back, and Uri and Misha carefully and sultrily undressed in front of her.  The lupine slave watched through Nidaja's half-lidded eyes, a show that was meant for her, not him, and yet, he still enjoyed all the same.  Alps felt the general's heart beating more rapidly in a chest that felt warm, heavy, and tight.  Feeling excitement as a female was so different to him, but it was giving him a good lesson on how to handle the female body.  For instance, Alps hadn't really known until now how sensitive the entire female body became when aroused.  It was not just about the obvious places.  This made him feel a little more confident about letting this happen.  He could not pass up the chance to learn.  Even Nita would be disappointed.  Those hands, the hands of Nidaja's beloved friends, continued to touch and caress and rub the general's body in ways that made Alps just want to sob.  It felt so wonderful each and every second of it made those sensations grow in her body and well up as if it were about to overflow.

 

                Uri was the first to send a hard, feminine shiver through that body that they were unknowingly exploring for someone's first time.  The black-furred female water-borne lupine leaned down, and lustfully took one of the general's turgid nipples into her hot mouth, dragging a ragged, hissing moan from her lips.  Alps could not believe the flash of heat that coursed through Nidaja's tingling body at the very touch of Uri's lips on her nipple-capped breast.  She arched her back, squeezing her thighs together as the sensations of searing female desire raced through the mind of a slave for the very first time.  Nidaja's hands went to her tummy, rubbing it up and down slowly.  It all felt yummy!  Every single touch, in this aroused state and tingling body, felt absolutely delicious.  Alps craved any touch now, and memorized this fact as best he could.  He felt the ability to give a lot more pleasure to Nita in the future, knowing what he knew of this wonderful body as he did now.  She didn't want this to stop.

 

                Misha's mouth came into place at Nidaja's other pointed nipple, and a hot, silky tongue slid back and forth over that nub, which tensed so hard that Nidaja's soft-pink areola wrinkled.  Alps could not hold back the sound of pleasure that was slowly emitted.  It was a long, slow moan of growing desire.  It was a very natural reaction for this body, not for that mind.  Nidaja's moans were pleasure of the flesh, separate from her mind.  They were a reaction to what her arousal wanted, and was given.  Alps was learning even what the sounds she made meant.  Learning the pleasure of the one who took his virginity was as exciting to Alps as his first time with her had been in the first place.

 

                "Mmmm.. I think she's about ready.. that was fast." Misha said, sliding slowly down the general's legs.  Alps wondered suddenly, fearfully, if they would be able to tell that Nidaja wasn't the one occupying this form if he were to try to return the pleasure.  He didn't know how to do all the same things Nidaja did.  For now, he would try to just let them pleasure her body.  Perhaps that was all they really wanted.  The general gasped loudly, as the sensation of being filled with a broad, strong tongue nearly sent her to what Alps felt had to be the very limit of pleasure to this body.  Her legs quivering, the slave felt the side to side motion of that powerful tongue right over the general's clit.  He felt detached, since it wasn't his body, and yet, closer to Nidaja than he ever could have believed.  Nidaja whined loudly, shaking as she surpassed the highest level of pleasure Alps could ever remember feeling in his own body.  Was it the lack of any pain, or was it just that intense in a female?  He let himself believe the latter, and sank deeper into the pleasure they were giving.

 

                "Oooooh, yeah.. Looks like she really needed this!" came Uri's excited coo.  She was watching, wagging her tail, flagging her scent into the air.  Alps whimpered softly.  The scent of a female affected him a little differently.  It enticed him, but it didn't slowly rob him of his senses.  Nidaja's body was made to react to the scent of a male, even if her heart happily loved a female.  Nidaja rolled her eyes back, trembling as she clenched her fingers into the bedding.

 

                "So... on edge.." the green-furred wolfess panted.  Alps was beginning to understand why his service to the queen in the manner it had been initially given was so important.  This was heaven!  He couldn't think a single bad thought like this!  Nidaja arched her back, and eagerly gripped Misha's ears, as she felt what could only be described in Alps' mind as sudden, multiple heavy explosions racking her body all over, pulses of pleasure and euphoria that lurched through her like the ocean crashing down upon her.  She held her breasts, feeling like her heart might burst through them.  Alps felt his mind practically shredded by the sheer magnitude and force of Nidaja's climax.  Misha buried her muzzle tighter against the general's sex, as she made her cum so very easily.  Uri squealed in delight as well, holding Nidaja's shoulders.  Nidaja's hips bucked softly, held tightly by the gray-furred guard, while her convulsing sex soaked Misha's face liberally, that tongue continuing to dive in and out, only drawing the experience out.  It didn't become painful like it did for Alps, if he kept going past climax!  The slave was absolutely thrilled, and Nidaja's body completely agreed!  The experience Alps had with orgasms was that they left him satisfied and weak and sleepy.  This was completely different for Nidaja's body!  Her body still felt on fire, and she writhed, groaning as the waves of pleasure continued to tear through her like a stampeding herd. 

 

                Uri motioned to Misha, and they giggled, switching places.  Uri had a shorter muzzle, but it seemed, a longer tongue.  Or perhaps, the shorter muzzle merely allowed her to get that tongue in deeper!  Being filled was a completely new experience for Alps' mind within Nidaja, but it felt every bit as satisfying as pressing deeply into Nidaja had the first time they had sex in that hotel room in the town he had lived in..  The town he was going back to.  Nidaja wailed, as a rapid and eager tongue fluttered within her.  She looked over to Misha, who was fidgeting with a drawer in the wall.  She unlocked it, and took an unusual sex toy out.  Alps had never seen it.  A double-headed dildo that had two harnesses on it.  While Nita and Azia knew it well, the slave had no reason to ever see it.

 

                "Oh goddess yes!" Uri said, raising up on her knees as she pressed her tongue deeply into Nidaja.  The idea of that toy seemed to really excite her!  The general grunted, gasped loudly, and her hips lurched upward, as her juices flooded the black-furred lupine's muzzle.  Uri was given just what Misha got moments before.  It was so easy to kep going!  Nidaja then squealed, as Uri only increased her attack, while Misha turned on her hands and knees, and pressed that thick, long phallic toy into her own sex, about half way in, and then fastened the clasping leather harness around her hips and waist securely. Her juices ran down the black wax-polished leather as she gazed hungrily at Uri.  She then moved around, rump to rump with her, and the shorter, younger lupine groaned loudly, as she felt Misha back into her, pressing that thick faux-cock into her body.  Nidaja panted heavily, her breath raspy as she watched.  She was in the high valley between climaxes, as she watched Misha and Uri couple.  Alps had no particular desire to feel that, since he was perfectly happy with what he was feeling now, in this sex-worshipped body, but still, the thought of taking one of them with it enticed him, even in this different form.

 

                Alps got a chance to rest in that aching, scorching body, as Uri lifted her head, and reared back a bit, to fasten the straps of Misha's toy.  It looked a little more difficult while being unable to move away from it.  She held her legs a little closer together, and lowered back down, cupping her muzzle over Nidaja's mound, suddenly stabbing deeply with her tongue, and making the general squeal again.  Now rump to rump, rather firmly, Misha started to rock her hips, sliding the toy out of herself until the strap pulled tight, and then a little out of Uri, before pressing back against her lover their bottoms colliding as the toy against filled both of them, easily nine inches into both their bodies if they pressed hard.  They both groaned as the hard, thick toy slid into their lusty bodies.  Together, they began to rock back and forth.  Alps still watched through Nidaja's half closed eyes as the two started ferally rutting against each other, that quick whip of a tongue stirring Nidaja's body to climax after climax, as the slave's mind, not yet used to this level of sensation, just opened the flood gates.

 

                The next twenty minutes or so were a blur of pleasure, seeming to move in slow motion, as the cries of Uri and Misha soon joined the air with Nidaja's, and all three seemed to, for that heavenly half hour, melt into an indistinguishable pile of squealing, wet, panting, hot flesh and fur.  Alps began to understand a little more of what at least these three might like in bed.  If he got a chance at these two again, they were in for a surprise from the no longer ignorant male Alps.  Finally, Alps heard the snapping of the clasps on Misty's side of the toy, and she lurched off the bed, falling happily, satedly onto her back on the wooden floor of the cabin.  Uri gurgled a bit, and sprawled alongside Nidaja's panting form. 

 

                They rested like that for some time, the three of them, but Nidaja's body still burned.  While the general herself might have stopped and just enjoyed the afterglow, Alps, in Nidaja's body, was unable to quell the searing heat that she wanted to rut out!  She shakily got onto her knees, and picked up the toy.  It felt so lewd to hold it.  This made the thought of what she really wanted to do even more alluring.  She looked at Uri, who she felt had done more to pleasure her a minute ago, and grinned almost evilly.  Alps felt empowered suddenly, since he wasn't seen as a slave, and he felt, in this body, somehow stronger and more sure of what he could and should do.  Uri released a petite, nervous laugh.

 

                "Ahh.. Umm.. You.. aren't finished, are you?" she asked, almost fearfully.  Nidaja briskly wagged her tail, as she swallowed softly, and pressed that thick toy into her sex, Alps groaning in her mind as he found out exactly what it felt like to be completely filled.  There was as much emotional satisfaction in it as there was physical satisfaction.  Nidaja inhaled deeply, on her knees, as she carefully fastened the straps as she had watched Misha do just a half hour before.  Misha crooned softly, sitting up.

 

                "Oh my.. You have a certain slave's sexual appetite tonight."  Alps' mind clenched in fear, as he thought he might have been figured out, but Misha just sat down, watching.

 

                "On all fours, Uri.  Now." Nidaja said, licking her lips.  Alps hoped he wasn't overstepping any boundaries though, but he just felt it might be something Nidaja might say in this position.  Uri trembled and whined with a weakened voice as she shakily did as told.  While Nidaja was obviously raring to go, it seemed Uri was a little wiped out.  Alps promised himself he'd apologize later if she were a little sore afterward!

 

                Nidaja moved in behind Uri, and got onto her hands and knees as well.  Slowly, the general backed up, and then stopped as she felt the toy press into her, not from the pleasure of the resistance Uri offered, but by the shocked and frightened squeak that she got from the other female!  Nidaja whimpered consolingly, and Misha laughed, pressing on Nidaja's lower back.

 

                "Nidaja!  That was so mean!  You know Uri's shorter than you!  Down.. lower.. there!" Misha said, giggling.  Alps had not even thought about that in this position.  Nidaja blushed hotly as the wolf realized that his additional height equated to a bit of a miss on his part, almost getting the wrong hole for poor Uri.  Nidaja backed up again, her legs spread a bit more, and sinking into Uri the right way this time, the pitiful black-furred female actually shaking, but laughing a bit too, showing that she was a good sport about that mistake.

 

                Nidaja's body felt so tight and hot and heavy with the pleasure running through her in this position.  Alps felt as if more and more fire were catching everywhere inside her, as Uri moaned with pleasure, seeming to forget the goof up a moment ago.  Alps soon forgot it as well, as Nidaja slid back forward, the toy sliding out of her, and hr playmate, feeling lie it was just pulling out her deepest pleasures right there.

 

                "Take her, Nidaja!" Misha cried, on her knees now, very graphically masturbating as she watched.  Nidaja lifted her head, and Alps watched his friend slip her long, powerful fingers in and out of that velvety-furred snatch in long, rapid strokes.  Nidaja lowered her head, growling ferally, just as Alps would, enough of his mind remaining to slip up and act a little Alpsish now, as he did exactly as told.  Uri wailed in pleasure, as Nidaja did the only thing Alps knew how to do in an actual mating position.  Nidaja began to thrust her hips forward, with a deep, pounding rhythm meant to coax the male lupine trapped in Nidaja's body to climax.

 

                "Oh dear goddess!-" Uri barked, before lowering her body, her hips still up, tail flagging.  She didn't move at all, which was different from how she handled Misha.  Misha groaned a little more heatedly as she watched the action between them now.  She rolled her hips into her own self-pleasuring, as Nidaja pounded the toy in and out of them both with a very male motion of her hips.  It was the only motion Alps knew!  that rolling, hard thrusting, pistoning the artificial flesh in and out of her and her playmate was exact to what Alps would have done with his own flesh buried inside her!

 

                "Oh yes, Nidaja!" Misha cried, "Oh my goodness, just like a male!  Oh she likes that!" came the encouragement as the lupine slave felt this body nearing climax again.  It was a little different from what he had felt in this body before.  It was even deeper.  It was going to be even harder!  Nidaja growled, grinning mischievously.  Of course she was doing it like a male.  Her rhythm was exactly the same as the male who's mind was in this body!  Uri would recognize it i she were not so washed away in pleasure.

 

                Alps whined loudly, thrusting harder and faster, almost unable to believe how much of a difference the increase of intensity made.  She was afraid that Uri might not climax until she was spent a this rate, but it turned out that Uri was less prepared for the sensations the very male humping hips made inside her.  She threw her head back and wailed, just as Alps felt the first hot pulse of searing joy explode through Nidaja's powerful, wonderful body!  As Uri climaxed harder with each stroke, the general's body buckled, and Alps nearly lost his mind.  The torrent of pleasure was unimaginable to him, and he found it hard to believe that Nidaja could really possibly feel this way with him, even if he did react in much the same way sometimes.  Nidaja collapsed to her chest, as Uri hastily unclasped the toy, crying in over-sensitive pleasure, shaking violently from it's power over her, as she rolled onto her back.

 

                "Nnk!  Oh goddess.." Misha grunted, eyes shut, as she held her hand at her sex, strumming her clit with her thumb as he fingers curled and rubbed inside her.  Her body went tight, and she trembled heavily.  Nidaja's eyes felt heavy as Alps watched the gray-furred female's juices spill from between her fingers, all over the bed, Uri cooing as she watched her mate cum messily for the show she had just enjoyed. 

 

                Dazed within her sex-battered body, Alps' mind crackled and sputtered.  He held a greater respect for exactly what he COULD do for Nita and the others now.  While he had originally feared it might be a very long trip in this unfamiliar body, Alps began to realize that in all honesty, he would probably find it too short for his liking.  Nidaja closed her eyes, as Alps' mind refused to continue to make this body do anything, and he enjoyed sleep in a body he had never fallen to sleep in before.  He would get his body back, of that he was certain, but Nita was in for a surprise when he was back in her bed.
