Chapter 2

It took several days of paperwork to finally get possession of the old Anderson house on Lake Muskoka for Madam Duvall and her daughter Justine. The agent, Janet McPherson managed the process as quickly as possible under the circumstances of the sale of the property. There were some minor glitches in the property line for example and the proper length of the lake shoreline was ill-defined on the old plans, however with a site visit and the help of friendly neighbours all these little details were sorted out.

Jamie Conner meanwhile was already gearing up his family’s business for the planning and construction of a boathouse on the lake shore for the Duvalls. He had built many of them over the past years and modified an already existing plan. He altered it to suit a few specific requirements from Madam Duvall. The workshop then began the pre-fabrication of the structure. First the jetty, then the deck floor and some of the other wall panels. Jamie oversaw the project both as a craftsman and as a neighbour. He made sure that everything was made the correct way.

Once all the legal and money parts of buying the property were completed. Janet McPherson arranged a welcome party for the Duvalls. A few select couples and individuals that she invited to one of her famous and infamous    ‘Boathouse Parties’. In plain words, the party was to be both a welcome to Lake Muskoka and an introduction to the semi-secret world of swingers and kinky sex parties that were held through the summer months on the lake.

It was well known that Janet McPherson held these sorts of parties. She was known as a leading bi-sexual dominatrix within the community, to those in the ‘Know,’ about her activities and sexual preferences.

Jamie Conner was invited, of course, he was also one of the more well-known ‘Boathouse Party’ people. He had been involved for more than a decade in attending and also hosting events along with Janet McPherson. Some people even thought that they were an unofficial couple, perhaps destined to be married one day. It would have made them one of the richest and most influential families in and around the Lake Muskoka area.

Since the Duvall boathouse was still under construction another boathouse was needed to hold the party. Janet had her boathouse and she had considered holding the party there. Jamie Conner’s boathouse was almost right next to the Duvall property and so was more convenient as a possible venue. “Jamie? Janet here, can I ask a favour from you?” Janet asked on a phone call to Jamie’s private number. “What sort of favour are you asking for, a ten dollar favour or a hundred dollar favour?” Jamie asked back. “A special sexy sort of favour. I need a boathouse to hold a welcome party for Madam Duvall and her daughter Justine?” Asked Janet. There was a moment’s silence over the phone as Jamie considered the request from Janet. He could easily hold the party at his place and it was almost right next door to the Duvalls property. “My place is a bit of a mess at present, it will need a good clean-up before it would be suitable for one of your parties Janet,” Jamie told her. Then there was a pause and silent moment from Janet’s end of the phone conversation. “I can get that sorted out Jamie. My house cleaners can whip it into shape in a day,” Janet explained. Jamie liked the phrase ‘Whip it into shape’ that Janet used, knowing her tastes and preferences for using a whip. “Then, it’s all yours to play with,” Jamie agreed to hold the party at his boathouse.

It took more than a day for the house cleaners to ‘Whip it into shape’ Jamie was not holding back about the mess the boathouse was in. Eventually, it was all made ship-shape and party-ready. The rooms were cleaned and windows polished and everything was dusted and made ready for Janet to bring along her interesting additions to the boathouse. She brought over a suitcase with all sorts of sex toys and accessories. As well as the special costume that she liked to wear for her party piece. All the preparations were completed in time for the party to be held on a Saturday afternoon at around 3 pm. The invitations were worded the following way. “Welcome the Duvalls. Dress for fun and frolics (And for Sundown Skinny Dipping!),” Janet always let people know when she was holding one of her ‘Special’ parties and not just a run-of-the-mill drinks and conversation party.

The boathouse was set and the drinks and food were ready. All that was needed was a few guests to bring the party to alive. Janet was already dressed in her long black skirt over her black leather corset and stockings underneath. Jamie in casual shirt and pants. They both chatted while waiting for the first of the guests to arrive. The very first to arrive a few minutes before three o’clock was Madam Mary Duvall and her daughter Justine Duvall. They wore matching blue dresses with both their long blonde hair tied in a ponytail. They looked more like sisters, rather than mother and daughter. Mary Duvall had had a lot of cosmetic work done over the years. She looked like one of those magazine models who could have been any age between 30 and 55 years of age. Justine also had a few cosmetic tweaks, which also made her appear to be a more classical beauty and like her mother, gave her a sort of ageless look to her face. “Welcome to your party,” Janet said as they walked down the jetty and into the large open-plan room on the boathouse. “Goodness, this is quite a place you have here Jamie. I hope my boathouse will look just as good as this when you have finished building it,” Mary Duvall said looking very impressed. “Drinks everyone? I got Bubbles galore to put a little spark of joy into everyone,” Janet said as Jamie popped a bottle of Italian Prosecco and poured out four glasses. “Cheers everyone,” Jamie led the first toast. “May all your dreams come true,” He added.
