Chapter 82: Bernice: Tuesday

Melissa returns to my suite a few minutes early. She’s looking sheepish, and I wouldn’t normally inquire about her activities during her two hours of free time.

“Is it raining outside?” I ask, when I see the state of her hair and upper body.

“No, Madame. The weather is cloudy but fine. I was on the receiving end of someone’s orgasm. If you’ll permit me, I’ll take a quick shower to clean myself up.”

“You only have seven minutes remaining of your two hour break, so be quick,” I reply, intrigued by who has had an orgasm over Melissa’s face.

I revive my earlier thoughts about Melissa having a lover. Has she been spending time with her, and didn’t have time to clean herself up before returning for duty? Perhaps somebody witnessed the pair? That would give me a lead into the secret Melissa is trying to keep. However, that’s something for another time. I’m leaving the island on Friday, and I must settle the arrangements for the special event I intend to host.

“Kneel over here, Melissa,” I order when Melissa reappears from the bathroom.

She promptly obeys and places her hands on her head. I’m impressed that she does so instinctively, and doesn’t need prompting. I feel a stirring in my loins at the sight of her delectable body and long damp blonde hair that she’s left hanging loose. When we’ve settled the plan for the special event, I think it’s time that Melissa and I played a proper game.

“I’ve received a further four replies to my tentative inquiries about the event,” I say. “Only one said ‘yes’, and the other three said ‘no’. I think we need to develop your idea of allowing each invited member to bring a guest, even if the guest isn’t an existing club member. How do you think we can put that proposal to Chloe and April?”

“The member’s guest will need to a member of the club to use the club facilities, Madame. If they aren’t an existing member, then they’ll need to apply to join the Lady caste at least three weeks before the event ... longer if they wish to apply to join either of the other two castes. Madame April won’t allow any short cuts in the new member vetting process, and the checks for a prospective member of the Lady caste aren’t as detailed as they are for mistresses and slaves.”

“So that doesn’t leave much time if the event is to be held at the end of November.”

“Are all your invited members mistresses, Madame?” asks Melissa.

“No. Of the six positive replies so far, there are two mistresses, three ladies and one slave. The three maybes are split one from each caste.”

“How do you intend to handle such a diverse mix of castes, particularly if the invited guests are new members, Madame? You could end up with over half your attendees being Lady caste members. Will that affect your planning?”

“Hmm. I cannot finalise the theme until I know the number and caste of those attending, but it’s likely I will need to commit to a particular theme before people will accept the invitation,” I sigh.

“Perhaps those attending should each adopt a role that doesn’t fit naturally with their caste, Madame,” suggests Melissa.

“I see what you are saying. So, if I chose a sultanas and odalisque theme, then we would have mistresses adopting the role of odalisques, and those of the Slave caste as sultanas. But what of those in the Lady caste?”

“I think you need to divide those of the Lady caste between the two other groups depending on numbers, and how you intend the week to evolve, Madame. Do you have a schedule of activities in mind?”
