Chapter 61: Auction/Orgy

Saturday August 30, 2008 at 5:00 PM

“Ladies and Gentleman, we are gathered this afternoon to initiate a new experiment by the firm making our usual social process a bit more interesting for all concerned. This is a voluntary activity and I must say I am pleased by the number of men and women who signed up to enjoy it.”

Saturday afternoon David Barnes, looking very “Senatorial” wrapped in a fine toga, addressed the group gathered in the large party room of the resort where the “not a slave auction” followed by “not a Roman orgy” would be take place.

When the terms “auction” and “orgy” initially got out a couple of weeks ago the idea caught fire. It was not just the men who were excited, these LA lawyers tended to find and marry younger, more attractive women who liked money and sex with LA lawyers, including, but not limited to, their husbands. To become partners the men had to be excellent lawyers and their wives had to convince the other lawyers in the firm of a mutual interested in bedroom activities. Both men and women believed variety was the spice of life, when it was safe. If they didn’t, they worked someplace else. The policies Barnes implemented specifically encouraged swapping and swinging and plain old dating of married individuals as long as in was above board and stayed within the pool of medical protocols.

This meeting was the central social event of the weekend, the auction of the willing wives and substitutes to the teams of lawyers who would enjoy and pleasure the women both in public and in private Saturday night and Sunday morning. Of the 72 partner and associate lawyers currently with the firm, 45 (more than 60%) signed up to form 12 teams of three or four lawyers to bid for the 40 lovely ladies (actually 41 ladies, one pair came together) who agreed to ascend the block so the teams could bid on their charms for their mutual pleasure for the night. Repeatedly.

The entire law firm was at the resort, they all brought their wives/girlfriends for the extended social. Many also brought children along for the sun and beach and other activities of the extended weekend. The resort, on a private man-made lake, had both “clothing optional” and “family” areas. Barnes had scheduled activities for each. This party room was in the “clothing optional” area where some very adult activities were expected.

“I want to offer a special welcome to a trio of first timers to the overnight part of our little gatherings: Betty Joe Church, Abril Grey, and Red Townes, who works for the computer company so she knows about your secret web searches. I trust we will see all three of these lovelies at future wife exchanges if you show them a good time.”

As the faces appeared on the screen there was a round of applause.

“I also wish to extend a special greeting to the wives of the various associate lawyers who have agreed to participate for this overnight event.”

About a dozen faces - including Little Egypt - appeared on the screen so there was another round of applause. All had previously attended the social dinners, but this was their first time playing overnight in an organized event with firm lawyers who were not their husbands. I suppose that most viewed it as an “extra” chance to make a good impression, getting their husbands promoted a little earlier. It seemed two have worked for Phil and I.

“For this event only, all the lovely women who will take the block have agreed to the other special rules for the night, including activities with multiple partners in public, and some special individual preferences. Each team has a list of details plus the head shot and preference cards, so both sides are clear on the particulars. I noticed with interest that some of the young women have left space to color outside the lines tonight. We appreciate it and will try to respect the new borders that are suggested for the benefit of all.

“I now turn the floor over to Samantha, who will be our MC for the auction.”

The theme of the firm’s previous August meetings was “cars and family.” Because of the fast cars on display, even the teenager children attended. Young successful lawyers have enough money to indulge their teenage car fantasies until they start to have kids. Then their wives insisted they switch to mini-vans and deposit the savings to a college fund for their entitled offspring.

A couple of years years ago a senior partner named Chet had paid far too much for a 2005 Ford GT, then foolishly spent some more cash so he could win the speed events. The drag race and road course timed competitions were close enough to hold interest, in part because the car was more than old Chet could handle. the main problem was that he read the wrong tire reviews. However, last year my NOZ-breathing Porsche completely dominated the tire-smoking Ford GT. I made it clear that I spent a lot less than he did, and my car was a regular commuter, while the GT had a serious problem with city streets curbs, driveways, potholes and general visibility at corners. Chet hated me after that, like it was my fault he was a fool. It became irritating.
