I Woke Up in a Reverse World Utopia with a 10,000 to 1 Ratio-Chapter 18: Sandy Sandra

The pill sits in my palm like a tiny white promise. I stare at the small circle, no longer intimidated by what comes next.

I pop it into my mouth and wash it down with a gulp of water from the glass Kate left on the nightstand. Despite being the second time, this routine feels almost normal, wake up, shower, eat breakfast with Kate, then wait for my afternoon "appointment." My body’s already humming with anticipation, knowing what that little white disc will do to my system in about twenty minutes.

Kate left a few minutes ago to collect my next reproductive partner. I lean back on the bed, smoothing my hands over my robe.

The morning sunlight filters through the blinds, casting golden stripes across the bed. I find myself thinking about Star and our dinner plans for tonight. There’s something refreshing about the possibility of friendship in this strange new life. A connection that isn’t about reproduction or duty or protocol.

A soft knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. I stand, adjusting my robe and taking a deep breath. The door slides open, revealing Kate standing beside a new woman.

My first impression is power. She’s compact, maybe five-four, with a muscular build that speaks of serious physical training. But it’s not her physique that catches me off guard, it’s the contrast between her intimidating presence and her outfit. She’s wearing a tie-dyed t-shirt in explosive neon colors and tight jeans. Her short brown hair is artfully messy.

"Tyler," Kate says, her professional tone firmly in place, "this is Sandra Stone. She’s head of security here."

I step forward with an extended hand, surprising myself with how automatic the gesture feels. "Hi Sandra, I’m Tyler."

Sandra’s eyes widen slightly before her face breaks into a grin that transforms her entire demeanor. She grips my hand hard as she shakes it.

"Well, well," she says, her voice carrying a hint of gravel that somehow suits her perfectly. "The famous Tyler himself. I’ve heard quite a bit about you."

I glance at Kate, who’s watching our interaction with that careful neutral expression she wears around others. "All good things, I hope?"

Sandra laughs and releases my hand. "Just about how many samples you’ve been giving lately. Sounds like you’re quite the productive one."

Kate sighs, her professional mask slipping for just a moment. "Behave, Sandra."

Kate turns to me, her expression softening.

"I’ll be taking my leave now," she says, her voice gentle but still maintaining that official edge she uses around others. "Like yesterday, if anything happens, I’ll be here in a moment’s notice."

"Thanks, Kate," I say, feeling strangely reassured by her promise to return quickly if needed.

The door slides shut behind her with a soft hiss, leaving me alone with Sandra. The security chief doesn’t waste a second. As soon as Kate’s footsteps fade down the hallway, Sandra’s hands are on me, her fingers running along the collar of my robe with surprising gentleness for someone who looks like she could bench press me.

I can’t help but smile at her eagerness. "Excited?"

"You have no idea," she says, her eyes darkening as she steps closer. "My wife is going to absolutely shit when she finds out I was chosen for this."

I blink, trying to process what she just said. "Wait... isn’t that cheating?"

Sandra cocks an eyebrow at me, genuine confusion crossing her face. "What do you mean?"

"I just..." I gesture vaguely between us. "To sleep with someone else? Isn’t that cheating?"

"Maybe if I slept with another woman, sure," she interrupts, her hands still moving purposefully across my shoulders. "But to fuck a man? How could that possibly be cheating?"

I stare at her, completely confused by her logic. The cultural differences in this new world continue to blindside me at every turn.

"I see," I say, my mind trying to catch up with this new information.

Before I can process further, Sandra grips the sash of my robe and yanks it open. The cool air hits my exposed skin, and I realize the pill is already working. I’m fully erect and aching.

Sandra’s eyes widen appreciatively before she wraps her hand around me, her grip firm but not painful. A jolt of pleasure shoots through me at her touch.

"Listen, Tyler," she says, her thumb making small circles that send waves of heat up my spine. "I love my wife to death. I would never cheat on her."

"I’m sorry, I should have thought more. I didn’t mean to accuse you of..."

She cuts me off with a squeeze that makes my words die in my throat. "You don’t need to think. Your job is to get me pregnant."

The bluntness of her statement should be off-putting, but in this moment, with her hand working magic on me, I can’t find it in myself to care. Kate chose her for a reason, and if this is my duty, I’ll perform it. Still, I can’t help feeling a twinge of sympathy for her unsuspecting wife.

"Okay," I manage to say.

Sandra pushes me backward onto the bed with surprising force for someone her size. I land with a soft thud against the mattress, my robe splayed open around me.

A thought occurs to me as she stands over me, already pulling her tie-dyed shirt over her head.

"If this isn’t cheating," I ask, propping myself up on my elbows, "should I do this with your wife too?"

Sandra freezes mid-undress, her eyes going comically wide. The shirt dangles forgotten from her fingers as she stares at me.

"Would you?" she breathes, her voice suddenly higher. "Oh my god, Tyler, would you really?"

She practically bounces as she continues undressing with renewed enthusiasm. "To both get pregnant at the same time and by the same man? My god, that would be so fun!"

There’s something unexpectedly sweet about her excitement. It’s not just about duty or protocol, she genuinely wants to share the experience with her wife. My heart warms a little at the thought.

"It’s too bad we couldn’t do this all together," I say, the thought just popping out of my mouth. "You know, you and your wife at the same time."

Sandra’s eyes widen even further, practically bugging out of her head as she kicks off her shoes. "Wait, are you serious? Would you actually be open to..."

There’s a soft thud as something falls from her shoe and clatters onto the floor. I glance down and freeze. A small black pistol has tumbled out, spinning slightly before coming to rest on the tile.

Sandra goes absolutely still, her face draining of color until she looks like she might faint. Her eyes are fixed on the weapon, terror radiating from her in waves.

"Fuck," she whispers, her voice barely audible. "I completely forgot to get rid of that one..."

I freeze, staring at the gun on the floor. But unlike Sandra’s look of terror, I feel an unexpected jolt of recognition and excitement.

"Holy shit, that’s a KelTec P32, isn’t it?" I blurt out, already moving toward it with fascination. "I haven’t seen one of those in forever. They’re chambered in .32 ACP, right?" I can’t help but remember my dad had one just like it.

Sandra stands motionless, her mouth slightly open as I kneel down to get a better look without touching it. The compact black frame is unmistakable, a pocket pistol with that distinctive polymer design.

"I, uh..." Sandra stutters, clearly thrown by my reaction. "Yes, it’s a P32."

"Man, what a piece," I continue, memories flooding back. "Seven round magazine capacity plus one in the chamber if you carry it that way."

My dad always said it was the perfect backup gun, super lightweight, only like 6.6 ounces unloaded.

Sandra shifts uncomfortably, glancing between me and the door. She makes no move to retrieve the weapon.

"Tyler, we should probably..."

"Can I hold it?" I ask, my hand already hovering near the weapon. "I promise I know proper handling. Keep finger off the trigger, treat all guns as loaded, never point at anything you don’t intend to shoot, all that stuff."

I’m about to touch the gun when the sound of running footsteps echoes down the hallway. The bedroom door slides open with a violent hiss, and my heart nearly stops.

Kate bursts in, her face contorted with terror, clutching a pistol that’s pointed directly at Sandra. Her knuckles are white around the grip, and her normally composed demeanor has completely shattered.

"Tyler, back away from Sandra right now!" Her voice is razor-sharp, leaving no room for argument.

I scramble backward instinctively, my hands raised in surrender as I follow Kate’s orders.

"Is the gun really that big of a deal?" I ask, genuinely confused by the extreme reaction

Sandra remains frozen in place. "Yup," she sighs, not even attempting to explain further.

Before anyone can say another word, the doorway floods with movement as six more armed guards rush in, weapons drawn and trained on Sandra. They’re all women in matching tactical gear, faces set in professional masks of controlled aggression.

"Boss?" one of them calls out uncertainly, her eyes darting between Sandra’s half-dressed state and the gun on the floor.

Sandra rubs the back of her neck, looking remarkably calm for someone with seven weapons pointed at her. "Yup. My bad, girls," she admits with a grimace. "Totally forgot I had that little thing in my shoe."

The absurdity of the situation hits me all at once, Sandra standing there in just her jeans and bra, Kate trembling with adrenaline, the squad of armed guards flooding my bedroom, and me sitting on the floor in an open robe with an erection that refuses to subside thanks to that damn pill.

"Ohhh," I say, the realization dawning on me as I look between the gun and everyone’s tense faces. "Bringing a gun to a fertility session must be a big deal here."

Kate’s eyes flash with a mixture of fear and anger. "Bringing an unauthorized weapon to a reproductive session is a Class 1 offense, Tyler." Her voice is tight, controlled, but I can hear the tremor underneath. "It’s a very serious crime.

I sigh, running a hand through my hair as I watch the guards close in around us. This escalated quickly from what was supposed to be a straightforward reproductive session. The pill is still coursing through my system, making this whole situation even more uncomfortable.

Two guards move toward me, positioning themselves on either side. Their hands are firm but not rough as they guide me away from Sandra and the weapon. I don’t resist, there’s clearly a protocol for this that everyone but me understands.

Meanwhile, a guard with dark braids steps forward toward Sandra, her expression professional despite the twitching at the corner of her mouth. She pulls out what looks like formal restraints.

"Sandra Stone, Head of Security," she announces with exaggerated formality, her voice pitched higher than necessary, "you are hereby detained for violation of Code 17, Section 3. Unauthorized Weapon Presence During Reproductive Procedures."

Sandra rolls her eyes as she holds out her wrists. "This isn’t funny, Tenisha," she growls, though there’s no real heat behind it. "My life is fucking over."

Tenisha’s lips quiver as she secures the restraints, clearly fighting back laughter. "I am required to inform you that this offense carries a minimum penalty of..."

"Yeah, yeah, I wrote the damn protocol," Sandra interrupts, looking more annoyed than scared now. She glances at me over her shoulder. "Sorry about this, Tyler. Looks like you’ll need to find someone else to knock up today."

One of the guards kneels to secure the gun, carefully picking it up with gloved hands before placing it in what looks like a specialized containment pouch. The guards flanking me step away, their demeanor shifting from protective to procedural as they join their colleagues surrounding Sandra.

"Let’s move," Tenisha orders, her voice now all business as she guides Sandra toward the door.

The procession files out, Sandra’s half-dressed state somehow not diminishing her dignity as she walks with her head high. Kate follows close behind them, her body still radiating tension. Just before crossing the threshold, she whips around to face Sandra, her composure finally shattering.

"You fucking moron!" Kate explodes, her voice echoing off the walls. "Are you fucking kidding me? This was a favor, you dumb bitch!"

I’ve never heard Kate curse like this before, her refined demeanor completely abandoned as rage pours out of her. Sandra doesn’t flinch, just shrugs her shoulders as much as the restraints allow.

Kate briefly glances back at me, her face softening for just a moment before hardening again with frustration.

"Tyler, I’ll be back in a few minutes, alright?" she says, her voice strained but gentler.

"Alright."
