Chapter 38: Saturday Evening: Home

Kara quietly followed Amy as she started to walk away. Wait ... is that the kind of look I think it is?

I believe so darling. I suspect she’s not the only one we ‘inspired’. And if you look at Vanessa...

She’s recognized it too. The only question is whether she asks anything about it.

“Uhm ... so...”

“Yes, I’m dragging Will somewhere private once everything is done. I’ve watched Esther be part of a setup like that before, but that was really something else. It’s a shame there probably isn’t enough time to do another one like it tonight.”

“My sense of time is a bit off. How much time is really left tonight?”

“Another two hours or so. But by the time one of the rigs is free again, and we get everything set up properly ... I don’t think there’s going to be enough left to build everything up properly to be really satisfying. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of time for a round or two of fun though. Maybe Tim and Esther will be available by then too.” She pointed toward a pair of double doors in the near distance. “Those doors will lead to both the bathrooms and the quiet room. I can’t guarantee that the bigger couches will be available, but there should be plenty of comfortable surfaces to rest on.”

Emanuel nodded and smiled. “We’ll figure something out.”

“Perfect. I’m off to go get it on with my partner!”

I didn’t expect her to be quite so ... open about that.

Me neither Ally. Emanuel stepped through the double doors, holding them open. “Do any of you need to use the bathroom before we see what the quiet room is really like?”

Vanessa and Allison nodded their heads. “I’m stable enough to go with her to make sure she’s okay” Allison started with a smile “and we’ll be in the quiet room shortly.”

If you’re sure...

I’m sure.

Kara continued toward the next set of double doors, pushing them open. “Manny! Check it out!”

“Wow ... I wasn’t expecting so many couches and the like.”

They watched a silver haired woman look up from behind her book. “Wonderful isn’t it? Just the two of you?”

Emanuel chuckled. “Not for long. Our other two will be along shortly.” Kara watched him glance around the room. “We need a space for all four of us if possible.”

“Try the back right corner. You should keep your voices down though; a girl about your age came in earlier. She must have had a lot of fun though” she paused “if the marks on her back and arms are anything to go on.”

Kara glanced at the girl seemingly dozing comfortably under the soft blue sheets. “Maybe?”

She felt the uncertainty from her face drain away as the girl turned around to face the three of them. “Oh! They’re two of the friends I was telling you about earlier Grace. Your scene is over too Kara?”

Kara sat down carefully on the bed next to her. “Yes. And it was glorious! But now we all need some cuddle time.”

“I can wait to hear more about it if you need the cuddling first.”

“Manny and I need to wait for Allison and Vanessa anyway, so I can share some of it now if you want.” She watched Rosa nod her head. “So, we found Will, and he made a kind of form fitting cloud out of the rope he tied onto each of us for us to rest on. Then he connected our rope clouds into a massive wooden frame...”

“Which could move as someone else did. Which we did A LOT” Allison continued, sitting down next to her. “Especially since each of the three of us had one of those vibrating wands with the big heads in front of us.”

“Wands ... you mean like a Hitachi massager?”

“Possibly? I’ve never actually heard one of them by that name before.”

“That’s precisely what one of the more famous ones is called ... wait, three of you?”

Vanessa grinned, sitting down next to Allison. “Me too. The more I found out about what they had in mind, the more interested I became. And your scene already had me kind of horny to begin with...”

“Right. I was still a little spacey before I had a chance to lay down, but I remember your warning from earlier.”

“Yeah. And when they started talking to Will about what they wanted...”

Her thought was interrupted as Emanuel patted the bed’s edge. “This conversation doesn’t need to end, but unless you no longer need the cuddle time...”

“No!” all three of them exclaimed in unison. “But” Vanessa continued “How are all three of us going to all cuddle up next to you at the same time?”

“I don’t think that’s possible” Allison sighed “but if one of us is willing to wait her turn and be next to one of the others, I think that should be fine. And I’m willing to be that person.”

“Next to Kara?”

“Or you if you prefer that.”

Vanessa looked away contemplatively for a few moments. “Yeah, I’d like that.”

Emanuel nodded his head and laid down on his back. “I don’t particularly care which side you or Kara chooses to lay down on. But if one of you wants to talk with Rosa some more, they should probably be closer to her.”

Kara grinned and laid down on Emanuel’s left side. “I can wait to share my side of things when Allison and I switch.”

Vanessa nodded and took Emanuel’s right side, laying her head on his chest. Kara felt her remaining tension drain through Allison as Allison’s back met hers. “So warm.”

“Yes, Manny is. And before you worry, you’re warm enough for me for right now. Anyway...” Allison paused for a few moments “So, where were we?”

“Blowing my mind a little with Vanessa’s inclusion. That had to have been crazy intense.”

“More than you’re probably imagining. Kara and I were on opposite ends of the frame; our wands basically locked in place so that being pushed forward even just a little bit moved us right onto them. But we didn’t have the really fun wand.”

Vanessa grinned. “That was mine; I’m not sure how Will managed it, but the wand in front of me rocked back and forth like a metronome. It felt much better when the entire head was vibrating against me down there, so I basically had to shift to the left or right along with it.”

“Which meant Kara and Allison were moved too ... wow. But why I do get the sense something more than that happened?”

Kara felt Allison grin. “Because it didn’t just end with the wands on full power. Even though it definitely could have with how much gibberish Vanessa screamed by the end of it. No ... Will and Manny made sure both Kara and I were high enough up that he could easily take us if he wanted to.”

“You mean if either of you wanted him to I hope.”

“A combination of the two” Emanuel began “like always. And Vanessa stuck through the effects that our coupling had on the system as a whole.”

“Stuck through?! I was looking forward to it; and definitely not disappointed with what your thrusts did to my place in things. Although by the time you got to fucking Kara as hard as you did, I was kind of lost in my own orgasms. I can only imagine how lost you both were.”

“Wait...” Rosa cut in “I didn’t think you three fucked. Sex? Certainly. But everything I’ve heard would suggest it always being more loving than ‘fucking’ would suggest.”

“Sometimes one or both of us just wants a good, hard fucking. Especially when Kara’s submissive side inspires my own to come out.”

“Tying us up like that was definitely the great inspiration for that ... I mean, you and I had almost no control over how and when we moved” Kara paused, smiling “let alone when Manny decided who, when and how he was going to touch.”

“Waiting until you and Allison switched, huh?”

“If there were other people in here, I would have. But if it’s just the five of us, then it’s probably fine.”

“Grace’s face” Rosa began to reply “would seem to support your idea.”

“Yes ... it’s quite unusual to have so few people in this room” Grace added, putting down her book and walking closer to them. “I don’t remember seeing any of you at the previous parties.”

“This is our first” Rosa started “and the scene those four pulled off was my first ever.” She laughed slightly nervously. “Just a few days ago, I didn’t think I’d be so interested in an interrogation scene. I certainly didn’t realize just how much I’d get out of it.”

“Interrogation ... interesting. And you four were able to navigate a scene like that without falling into some of the usual pitfalls?”

“Largely due to how good Kara and Rosa are at improvising. Allison and I generally just follow Kara’s lead.”

“And you dearie?”

“Same. I had a pretty easy role though.”

“Honestly Vanessa, you probably had the most difficult role. I didn’t have much of a sense of what to expect from the Commandant and her associates; but an assistant was easy to understand. And you pulled it off wonderfully.”

“Even though they were doing all of the actual play?”

“I knew that whatever one of them agreed to do would be something they had some skill in. That really didn’t worry me once I really started getting into the scene.”

“And the fact that you and Kara didn’t plan on my participation?”

“If Allison or Emanuel had asked, I might have said no. But because Kara asked and I know I can trust her to be true to her word I agreed.”

“Have the two of you been close friends for a while?”

Rosa sat up and chuckled, the sheet falling away to reveal the slightly jagged edges of the lines cut into her arms. “Only for a few days, and I wouldn’t say we’re close. But that’s not why I trust Kara. I trust her because off the exercises we’ve participated in together for our Improv class. We’ve needed to learn how to read each other’s body language and the like as we each took turns as group leader. Kara’s been the best leader of our group by far too; that helped out a lot as well.”

“I suppose I should have realized something like that from the masks on your back.”

“And Kara’s nipple shields too.”

“Truthfully, I hadn’t noticed those. The years I’ve been coming here have pretty much desensitized me to a lot of things. And I’ve always felt it to be quite rude to stare at people’s bodies.”

Kara sat up for a moment, smiling. “And the four of us have gotten pretty used to being looked at lately. But if you want a closer look, feel free! I like showing the shields off.” Not as much as you do, my muse ... but still.

Allison chuckled for a moment. Indeed darling.

“I’d love to hear more about your adventures later” Rosa began, also sitting up “but for now I want to hunt down Rachel. I still haven’t seen exactly how you two drew the masks on my back yet.” Kara watched her stand up slowly. “Do you four have any other plans for tonight?”

Emanuel nodded his head. “Nothing concrete, but we may figure something out before we’re done here.”

“I’m not sure what else I may want to do either honestly. Let me know when if you figure something out.”

Kara smiled, nodding her head. “We will.”

“Those are very pretty...” Grace finally spoke up after glancing back and forth between her and Allison “but not as beautiful as your rings. I hope you’ll have some time to share the story behind them once you’ve had your rest time.”

“Possibly. For now though, I am slightly cold away from my heater.” She laid back down as Rosa closed the doors behind her. “Much better.”

They watched Grace nod her head and head back to her desk. “In all seriousness, how are you three?”

“Mostly good. I don’t think my head space went quite as deep as Kara’s did.”

“Not the submissive one my muse, but if I’m remembering what I felt from you during the rest of the scene...”

“Well, sure. But you know how quickly my brain recovers from that kind of stimulation.”

“That may be true” Vanessa smirked “but we all know the truth by now. The only reason you ‘recover’ from orgasmic bliss so quickly is because you’re basically always horny.”

“Sure” Allison ‘smirked’ back “like that’s a bad thing.”

Emanuel shook his head softly. “For now maybe, but someday that will get you into trouble if you’re not lucky.”

“And that’s why I have you two to make sure that I don’t need to rely on luck.”

“So, it’s clear enough how Allison is doing, and from what I can tell Kara’s in pretty good shape. What about you Vanessa?”

“It’s ... kind of hard to tell. Happy, and kind of giddy.”

“The giddy is the endorphins; they’ll normalize soon enough. That’s what happened with me earlier” Allison laughed softly as Kara watched the look of confusion appear on Vanessa’s face. “After our shower together.”

“Oh, right! Just being close to Emanuel seems to be helping a lot with that though.”

“That’s not really surprising. I’m the one who is basically responsible for everything that happened earlier.”

“Even though I wanted to be part of it?”

“Do you remember how I explained it when Allison made her request earlier?”

“Yeah. We had control of the situation, despite the fact that Allison gave it to us in the first place.”

“Because I chose to give it to you two. Just like we all gave Manny control over us the moment we agreed to be tied up and left vulnerable to whatever he decided to do. But because we knew he cares enough to make sure our needs were met during it...”

“He’ll make sure they’re met now too. And cuddling next to someone who truly cares about you is super comforting.”

“He’s my pillar for a good reason.” I think the wheels are starting to turn my muse.

“Are you three just being quiet, or are you ‘talking’ to each other again?”

Kara chuckled, sitting up slightly. “The latter. It’s becoming as natural as breathing to us.” She smiled softly at Vanessa. “Not about anything bad, I promise you.”

“Can we switch darling?”

“Sure.” Kara untangled herself from Emanuel, stood up, and made her way to the other side of the bed. “I’d rather not have my back to you if that’s okay Vanessa.”

Vanessa chuckled, turning her head for a few moments. “As long as your breasts don’t mind being squished against my back, we can spoon.” Kara laid down next to her, tucking her left arm under the pillows and draping her right arm over Vanessa’s side. “I wouldn’t consider you to be teasing too much if your other hand settled somewhere else. Just not down there.”

Kara tried to stifle a raucous laugh, moving her hand up to cup Vanessa’s left breast. “Too sore after all that time with the wand?”

“Yes. That was a blast, but she’s really happy now. I don’t want to risk pissing her off.”

“If you’re willing to answer, what got you into tentacle scenes?” Allison asked, the bed shifting slightly as she settled in on Emanuel’s other side.

“Anime. You might be surprised how much Hentai is actually translated into Spanish. And while the slice of life or harem varieties never really caught my eye, the monster ones did. I mean, I get why so many of the girls in them seem to be resisting so much, but ... I always wondered if they wouldn’t just enjoy themselves so much more if they could just admit to what they actually wanted. The more of it that I watched, the more I started thinking that if I were in their place I’d take advantage of the opportunity they had.”

“Did you have many opportunities to explore sexual stuff in general?” Allison asked. “I mean, I know you said talking about things like that doesn’t really happen in your parent’s house, but...”

“That also means the only ‘tools’ I’ve had access to so far have been my own fingers and the handle of my hairbrush. I’d love to get something more effective, but without the means of getting anywhere to actually purchase anything I haven’t had the chance to.”

“Then we’re going to take you shopping after the next demo. I don’t know if you get an allowance of any kind, but with the discount coupon you should be able to at least pick up something.” And as an early or belated birthday present, whichever the case might be, we can cover one or two special things that she can’t actually afford.

I like that idea Ally. But will we be okay?

Yeah. I still have some old gift cards.

“I don’t get an allowance, but my grandparents have always been very generous with birthday and Christmas presents. The next one is next week, right?”

“Yeah” Allison began, then paused for a few moments. “Oh! How long have you been there for?”

Who?

Rachel, darling.

“Long enough to hear your conversation about things related to my actual business. I wouldn’t do this in most cases, but I can give you the coupon ahead of time if it guarantees you can get to store sooner. As long as you promise you’ll attend one of the next demos.”

“Really?!”

“Really. I know too many families like yours, where social norms prevent one of their kids from safely exploring their sexuality. That’s something I really can’t stand. That’s a big part of why I’m willing to offer such a ridiculous discount in the first place. It really shouldn’t be up to their parents if their teen wants to own a vibrator or dildo.”

“If you’re sure.”

“In case I don’t have any in my car, I’ll make sure to put one aside for you at the store.”

“Thank you.”

Kara glanced over Vanessa’s shoulder at Rachel. “Did we forget to return something to you earlier? Or did we miss something important that we should have done?”

Rachel shook her head gently. “No, you’re good, and you’ve been model participants in general tonight from what I’ve heard. My slave needs somewhere to rest for a little bit after the scene we just finished, that’s all. You probably have time for a shortish scene if you’re really interested.”

Thoughts my loves?

If we were to do anything, I’d need a promise that nothing sexual is going to come of it though. Like Vanessa, that last one wore me out. And I’ll admit I’m feeling pretty tired in general from the scene with Rosa.

That was a considerably more involved scene than I’m used to partner. And you did most of the heavy lifting on it. Besides, we have a relatively early start tomorrow.

Kara glanced at Vanessa over her shoulder. “Vanessa?”

“What I did today already was more than I was expecting to do. Anything more and I’ll probably start feeling overwhelmed.”

Rachel laughed softly. “Considering this is the first party for all of you, I’m a little surprised that you did as much as you did.”

Allison lifted her head. “Is there anyone with things for sale here today?”

“If Robert’s here, then yes.”

Grace nodded her head. “He’s here. He’s in the other wing of the space I believe.”

I want to check it out!

I’ll go with you Ally. Are you joining us Kara?

I’d prefer to stay here for a bit longer.

Okay. Allison sat up slowly. “Manny and I will go check out him out.”

Vanessa turned her head as best she could to face Kara. “You’re staying here?” Kara nodded her head. “In that case do you mind if I turn around?”

“I’m good with just about whatever you’d like.” She laughed softly at the grin that suddenly appeared on Vanessa’s face. “Besides what that implies you imp.”

Vanessa nodded her head, then began to turn to face Kara. “Of course” she began, the grin shifting to a smile “I’m pretty sure we’re on the same page.”

Is there anything you want us to look out for darling?

A blade with a sharp edge maybe? I’m pretty happy with the floggers we have now, and can’t think about anything else. She grinned as Vanessa pulled her close.

Are those Vanessa’s breasts pressing into yours?

Yup.

Emanuel ‘smiled’. We’ll keep an eye out.

Kara watched Grace move out of the corner of her eye. “Is everything okay?”

“I was hoping you might be rested enough to share that story.”

“Sure. As long as Vanessa doesn’t mind.”

“As long as you don’t need to move.”

Kara watched Grace sit down on Vanessa’s other side. “Does this help?”

“Yeah. You’re probably familiar with mine and Allison’s parents. But if you’re not for some reason...”

“I thought you look a lot like Clara. And Allison is very close to a clone of Rebecca.”

“That helps. The short of it is that our rings were originally made for my mom, Allison’s, and Emanuel’s. But the relationship the rings were supposed to represent didn’t last the way it needed to. Despite that they remained good friends, and so the three of us grew up together. At least” she paused, repositioning her right breast slightly “until we were about eight. Something happened that caused Allison to slowly change. Manny’s mom passed away suddenly a few years later. Allison basically disappeared from our lives shortly after that; to the point that he and I managed to ‘forget’ her.”

“How terrible!”

“Yeah. That changed a few weeks ago. Their Program week forced Allison out of hiding ... they quickly fell in love with each other all over again. I made peace with the fact that I’d lost him in that way later that week. Allison was kind enough to share Manny with me and let him be my first too. But something none of us were expecting happened last Sunday night.”

“Oh?”

“A few days earlier some of my memories of our childhoods came back as I was putting together a photo album for Manny’s birthday. That’s part of what allowed me to move on. But the night I gave my virginity to Manny I somehow felt comfortable enough to let Allison help a little. And I realized that I loved her just as much as I loved him. So we talked through our options, and decided that we’d try dating each other. Rebecca seemed to be one step ahead of us though, and...”

“She’s always been unnervingly good at that. Just like Clara always seems to be able to see through whatever mask you’re wearing into how you’re really feeling.”

“Allison seems to have inherited that gift from her mom. And if I focus on it, I can do something similar to mom. Anyway, Rebecca had dinner and a celebratory dessert waiting for us. My Program week started the next day, and I got my wish later that day to be part of the telepathic connection Manny and Ally had developed the week before. And it was a damn good thing too.” Kara paused, glancing at Vanessa; she smiled back. “It would be an understatement to say that Manny’s dad took his wife’s death poorly. I knew he’d been growing more abusive as he fell further and further into the bottle, but he chose that day to do something really drastic and awful. That news nearly broke Manny, and the only reason I was able to get to her house quickly enough to stop was because of our telepathy. We some how managed to bring Manny back from the brink of a full breakdown and, well...” she paused again, glancing down at the ring “ended up bonding to each other ever more intimately then any of us thought possible.”

“And Rebecca foresaw that too?”

“In a manner of speaking. She rightly recognized that in our sharing we practically married each other. She suggested we make it sort of official, so she had me ‘cordially’ invite my parents over to their house for dinner.” She paused as Grace let out an uncharacteristically raucous laugh. “You understand her code too?”

“That’s an old one for sure. What happened next?”

“We had a chance to take a much needed nap together while she prepared dinner. Apparently she also conspired somewhat with my mom too though; I had a hard time at first believing that my mom would be willing to take that box out of the house.”

“What box?” Vanessa asked.

“The box I was never allowed to look in; the one that always seemed to cause her a great deal of pain to even think about. Yet she never threw it away or burned it in any of the cleansing rituals she’s done over the years. It was like it had to stay in the house to remind her of something important. So my surprise grew greater and greater as her grip loosened on it over the course of the conversation that followed. And you could have knocked me over with a feather when she not only let go of it, but gave it to us and insisted we open it.”

“What was in it?” Grace asked.

“The rings and a long, multicolored cord. That’s when she told us about how the rings and cord had been made to bind our moms together decades earlier. But before the date of the hand-fasting arrived, Manny’s mom needed to back out, and the rings and cord were put away until the day they’d be needed. So before dessert we all went out into the backyard, and as naked as we are now she did a hand-fasting ceremony for us.”

“So you have almost a year left to see if you really want to be together for the rest of your lives. And somehow rings made for your mothers fit each of you?”

“Perfectly. This one” she held up her left hand “was originally supposed to be hers. If you look closely you can see that the bronze color is the dominant color.”

Grace cocked her head in confusion. “The color both hers and my aura usually is. The same is true for Allison’s silver dominated ring and Manny’s golden one. That was perhaps the most surprising one at first.”

“Okay” Vanessa interjected “how does a ring made for a woman fit a hunk like Emanuel?”

“Apparently Isabelle preferred to wear her rings on a chain, not her fingers.” She looked back at Grace. “And that’s the story.”

“A bit hard to believe, I’ll admit ... but it makes less sense that custom work like that could be done in the time you would have needed it for.” Kara caught the brief smile that flashed on Grace’s face as her own mouth began to open. “I know his work when I see it. I commissioned my favorite bracelet from him fifty years ago. It’s just as beautiful now as when I first got to put it on.”

Vanessa rested a hand on Kara’s shoulder. “Kara? Are you okay? Your upper half is really red.”

Kara glanced down at her arm. “Blame Manny. It’s his fault for bringing up an unpleasant memory.” Anything else Ally?

Yes, but I’m not saying anything more about it until you two make up.

Kara took several deep breaths in and out. You did nothing wrong Manny ... I’m sorry. Remembering how bad my anger used to be is just kind of hard for me.

“And your connection to them?” Grace asked, turning to Vanessa.

“Uhm...” she paused, her eyes glancing away from them for a moment “I’m not completely sure yet to be honest. I’ve only known all of them for about two weeks now, but I like what I’ve seen so far. I may end up dating all three of them, or maybe just Emanuel. Truth be told, prior to my experiences with Kara and Allison I’d never...”
