Chapter 81: Travel Day

Monday September 1, 2008

Monday morning at 9, on a private veranda, Rose’s little clique of young wives/exchange wife substitutes assembled for breakfast and gossip about their weekend. They assumed they would all leave for the drive home before dinner and they they wanted to get together to catch up, gossip, talk and giggle about their adventures during the weekend.

Talking about the big item of the weekend, the auction and how much was bit for everybody, was determined to be boring and would not be discussed, everybody knew the high bids and since they were all friends nobody wanted to mention the low bids.

After we left Corky’s little party at 4 in the morning Rose had spent the night in Corky’s bed, they tried seriously to get into the mood of one-night lovers. I guess it worked. When those two arrived for the breakfast Abril said they were holding hands and clinging to each other like lovers. They even got a chair they could both sit in. Everybody thought Corky was so brave that way, speaking truth to power, plus the couple was so damn cute.

Abril attended the breakfast, men were not invited so I got some extra sleep.

The meeting was inclusive. Red and Birdy showed up from the computer firm. They joked that Wiretop might also be eligible, since he got a lot of cum second-hand. Also some of the wives who did not participate in the auction for whatever reason (like kids) showed up. Jennie was the only service girl invited, Rose considered her a special friend and it was Rose’s breakfast. Essentially there was a soft age limit of 30 and a hard limit of nobody over 35.

The three Church girls were at this breakfast gathering. Abril was not a fan of the two older Church girls, and this was the first time the youngest one attended a social. Rose said privately that if it was purely up her she would rather not include them, she was sure those girls had something to do with Amy’s sudden disappearance. But David Barnes had a talk with Rose about “understanding” after the loss of their father, good or bad they only had one. Also the way their grandfather almost took them away, how Joe Pope rescued them and the change in their life. This was the first social since the explosions, and many things had happened to the girls, so they were included.

David also hinted in confidence that more turmoil was coming for the sisters. “They are clinging to an untethered buoy at sea, and they don’t see the next storm coming. But if they hang in for it, they may help the firm, fixing a flaw in our model.”

Barnes made arrangements for a late departures, most of the remaining partners planned to leave between 4 and 5 in the afternoon, so they could get to the interstate while the sun was still up. Traffic would be very heavy all the way to LA, so the 4 hour drive up would be more like 6 frustrating hours getting back.

I had previously explained to Abril that, excluding weather, earthquakes, mudslides, forest fires and other special Golden State’ calamities Monday was one of the 3 or 4 worst traffic days to drive in Southern California. So my plan was to leave the resort sometime between midnight and 2 in the morning, when most folks were asleep, that way I could get into LA before the Tuesday morning rush hour of those without enough sleep. I had made arrangements for checking out that late. The weather looked good and the roads would be a lot clearer after sundown. I said we had plenty of time Monday between breakfast and our departure, to bake in the sun and enjoy each other in bed “like a married couple.” Abril was overjoyed with this plan for our extended time together.

Part of the gossip at breakfast was Rose talking about how brave Corky was to stand up to her dad and insist on satisfaction for Saturday night with the dinosaurs. All of the younger women had negative experiences getting matched with an older man, that was unavoidable. But getting four duds at once with not one single feelgood benefit to show for it was more than a hot wife should stand for. Everybody congratulated Corky.

Then Corky discussed her night getting fucked by Phil, Sam and me. She was hesitant to talk about her FF experiences, so Red chimed in talking about eating her husband’s creampie from Corky and how she served it perfectly, with the most delicious sauce. Rose explained about what she did, as did Abril. From the comments Abril and Jessica and others reported to me, as new partners, Phil and I were going to be very popular with the younger ladies.

Abril talked about our travel plans, most of the people at breakfast were looking at a 6-hour car ride so my idea, of night travel when they could sleep, was also applauded. They talked about alternatives for next time.

During the same time as Rose’s breakfast gathering, there was a private meeting that took place, and the subject was not gossip. Vi Pope met with David Barnes, Judge Stern and their wives to offer them “one of her girls to keep them company during the long boring drive home.”

She prefaced the offer was the idea of each of the “important” men keeping their temporary Church daughter “overnight, and maybe another night as well.” There was no doubt about where Vi meant the girls to sleep, and she was not limiting their service to men, she talked about how delightful the girls could be to an older wife.

Vi was putting them out as “take-out” sluts for the couples in an attempt to keep her standing after a divorce. It was a plan which showed promise if the girls acted correctly. She had briefed the girls on parts of her plan.

Vi covered her real reason by saying that “the girls need to see some good examples, and a reason to learn basic skills, which were not part of their upbringing.” Joe “worked too hard” to do a good job with the girls while the fine daughters in the Stern and Barnes households proved they were great parents.

Vi also pointed out that many in the law firm “dated others within the pool” for various fun activities of common interest. For instance, Holly Russell was known to take three-day trips to Maui in the company of two or three partners “just for fun.” Vi herself took lawyers and their wives to the shooting range for practice, followed by dinner or a movie or whatever. Amy had come along, and stayed out overnight with their dates while Vi went home to Joe. She also mentioned that I took Amy to an exclusive dining establishment for a special fucking meal that Joe could not get into. Barnes knew about that. What was not said was that these dates were often “with full overnight benefits.”

However, while other law partners might have time for such outside activities, Vi said that she knew that David Barnes and Judge Stern were always on call and hence had no time for such things. So she was suggesting, as a alternative to dating, they could consider an extra day or two with a Church girl in their house as an equivalent “fun date,” that both the husbands could share with their wives. “The girls are used to helping women ... around the house.” She suggested that maybe such “stay at home dates” could be a regular thing for these busy folks.

There was a quid pro quo. Both men knew their was another agenda underlying the offer. Ann Barnes and Judge Stern had both been naked enjoying a good time at Vi’s little sex gathering during the orgy, so the two most influential couples in the firm knew the Popes were headed toward divorce. They understood the reason, Joe Pope had become more combative at work lately, mostly about money and power. This happened as some men got older and felt their life profile was falling short of the goals they set, especially economic goals. Inflation made sure that always happened.

Women, especially women after a marriage, needed something else. This was plainly an attempt by Vi to curry favor with the firm ahead of the divorce, she wanted a chance to “stay in the pool,” in terms of the monthly social and other options. Implicitly she was prostituting the 3 girls and their flexibility to keep her place. It was transparent, but she had the goods in the slutty Church girls, who could be a little bit like service girls for law firm wives as well as out-of-bounds overnight thrills the husbands could share with their wives. Both Stern and Barnes knew that a Church girl in bed would provide pleasure to both husband and wife, leaving another younger woman in the mix (in place of the wife) and taking a older man out of the mix for the night’s pairings. That would shift the wife-exchange pairings to eliminate the “Corky” issue that was exposed this weekend.

Having such a willing and versatile young lady as an extended house guest appealed to all involved.
