Chapter 54: Bargaining

It was time for a family summit meeting with Drew, Leah, Carolina, and Peter.

“I think Carolina’s idea is fantastic,” said Leah. “But the hard, uh, difficult part is always the four littles. Now, for Nia, we can always send her to stay with Bonnie Douglas. It’s the boys that are tougher.”

Peter: “Since they are all age 11, we could enroll them in the Boy Scouts, and they could be away camping.”

Drew: “I thought about that, but the nearest troop is 48 miles from our house, and there’s no way we could wrangle them to the evening meetings with an 110-minute round trip.”

Carolina: “I think I have an idea, an exchange that might work. Do you all remember Cindy and Carl from Val’s party? Carl with the jokes? I see you all do remember them. I’m thinking we could get the two of them to work as babysitters for an overnight with the three boys. And, in addition to paying them, we tell them they can come to our place on another night and have a pool party. Say, our four middles, six or eight of their friends, and with Cindy and Carl in charge. What do you guys think?”

Peter’s main concern was that the pool party be well monitored to keep out the alcohol risks, and the outdoor sound limited to avoid pissing off the neighbors. Subject to those restrictions, he was in favor. Leah and Drew were on board as well.

Carolina: “OK, I think this will work, provided Cindy and Carl are agreeable and one of their two homes can be used for the overnight, with the four under-12s in sleeping bags. They could use their recreation room, I guess, or something. We can figure out the details later.

“Now, for this future Friday or Saturday night when all four littles are out of the house until morning, who (besides our four couples) are we going to be including in our orgy? Clarissa and Jared? OK, they’re in. Sandra and Lorelei? Really? Cool, six couples. Lisa and Lane Trent? Ow, ow, I’m sorry! It was a joke!”

“I think that should be all, just those six couples,” said Drew. “We have to remember that sibling sex is still a non-starter out there in the world, even if the siblings are technically step-siblings. And there is also a legal issue if over-18s are with under-18s. My math is very rusty, but this still leaves dozens or even hundreds of permutations just with these six couples (twelve people), and limiting ourselves to mostly heterosexual combinations.

“So, I propose, for now, our first orgy includes only the individuals we have just discussed. However, I am sure that some individuals among us will be quite, well, quite adventurous.”
