Zeb is a world class engineer living a life normally reserved for the super wealthy: traveling to exotic locations and bedding beautiful women. All on someone else's dime.
Then comes The Plague. Fifty million dead worldwide and no end in sight. After more than a year stuck alone in his house, he gets a cryptic offer: solve an impossible problem first and get a million bucks. But the strange missive is just the beginning. His mysterious new employer has loftier plans which will take Zeb around the world, and beyond, in a sexy science fiction adventure.
The Ragnarök Protocol is a tale of erotic science fiction about an engineer who, with the help of his beautiful companions, attempts the impossible in an effort to avert the end of the world. If you're a fan of the science fiction and spy movies of the sixties and seventies, but always wished they didn't fade to black when things got sexy, then this novel is for you.
Author's Note: This is a full novel (~98k words) which I'll attempt to break up into easily consumable sections. All characters are over eighteen. Enjoy!

Chapter 15
I awoke the next morning, completely refreshed despite only getting five hours of sleep. I did not even need to shower as we three had shared a shower after last night's wonderful intimacy. I looked at my two girlfriends lying in bed and marveled once more at their beauty. As I looked, Bonnie scooted into the space I had vacated to snuggle with Margrethe. I had somehow fallen into a wonderful triad: no jealousy; no competition. Just three people who all enjoyed the company of each of the other two. We worked together as a threesome and any two of us also worked flawlessly. I knew I was falling for both of them, I had not missed Margrethe calling me, 'my love' last night. It made me feel ecstatic and I knew I was starting to feel the same way.
I dressed quietly and headed to my office, grabbing a cup of coffee from the cafeteria on the way. When I arrived at the office, Lucy was already there. She was sitting in her office and smiled at me as I walked past the door. I checked my trek to my office and stepped into her door before saying, "You're here early. What are you working on?"
She said, "I could not sleep well after what you said yesterday, about simulation program. I finally gave up lying in bed alone and came to office a few hours ago."
I said, "Mind if I take a look?"
She smiled warmly and made room for me at her desk.
Five hours later, I was still at her desk. Bonnie had come in around seven and had blessedly kept our coffee cups filled and even brought us some yogurt at one point. Lucy's techniques in software architecture were revolutionary. I had difficulty following her code frequently and by the end she was teaching me about combining machine learning with advanced predictive algorithms to build a system capable of anticipating problems and learning from its mistakes. Around eleven I noticed Lucy yawning, so I said, "Why don't you go get some shut eye? You've been up all night."
She said, "But it is not yet seven. Is that permitted?"
I said, "I'm the boss here now. No more beating the cow to get more milk." I cringed inwardly, hoping she would not take the colloquialism as a reference to her massive breasts, but she either did not notice or did not take offense. I continued, "In fact, can you come with me?"
I led her back to my office where Bonnie had taken up residence. I said, "This is Bonnie. She's going to be helping me keep organized. I am also fortunate enough to call her my girlfriend."
Lucy shook her hand, and they exchanged smiles. I said, "Lucy has been here all-night Bonnie. I told her to go get some sleep, but she was worried about that reflecting poorly on her. I was wondering if you could go over with Lucy some of the changes we're hoping to make in the office."
Bonnie said, "I'd be happy to. Lucy, why don't we go back to your office so Zebadiah can get settled in here?"
They left and I took a few minutes to go over what Bonnie had been working on all morning. She had gone through all my emails and flagged the handful which needed my attention. She had also reorganized the department calendar, removing all the nonsense set up by my predecessor. She had emailed me suggesting we do a daily stand-up at ten, rather than the 7:30 am meeting which had existed previously. By the time I had caught up Bonnie had returned.
She quipped, "I see why you spent all morning with her. She's gorgeous. I've never seen natural boobs that big before."
I said, "You and Margrethe are all I need. You're both perfect. Besides, Lucy is a genius. Way smarter than me. And I am determined to treat her like she deserves regardless of her appearance."
"Of course you will, sweetie. I'm just saying that if we were to bring another woman into our relationship, I would vote for her. My talk was a little lost on her. She is not in a relationship, except with her work. So, I just emphasized taking breaks when she needs them. I hope you don't mind, but I felt so sorry for her when she told me she was alone here and that I invited her to dinner with us tomorrow. My heart just went out to her."
"That sounds fine, baby. Let's just not make her uncomfortable. Why don't we have dinner with her at a restaurant, so you're not tempted to talk her out of her clothes?"
She said, "You're no fun. But we'll do it your way. By the way, I love it when you call me baby," she stepped over to my desk and delivered a quick kiss.
