The bus load was in a festive mood as they drove to Mockingville to play at the local summer arts festival. Zoey would be meeting us when we arrived and would continue on to the Crooked River Festival on Saturday. Michele and Lane both seemed calm despite the pressure and high expectations. Despite all the time and work they'd put it, it was just something fun to do. Adi In The Lion's Den had plenty of experience on stage, but this would be the first time they'd be playing the songs they had recorded with Sylvia J. The advance press had created a buzz and the spotlight would be on them when they played the Showcase Stage. The four bands selected for this prestigious venue were thought to be the best of the best new artists. The band had an early, short set on the Arts Fest Main Stage. We arrived early on Thursday afternoon. Motel rooms had been reserved for the band. Lane was going to stay with Zoey, but Michele chose to bunk with the band. After dinner there was an informal rehearsal in a function room at the motel. It was great to see Zoey. I could see she was happy to have her daughter around. Michele had a special relationship with Zoe. If not for her understanding in allowing Lane to move to North Cliff, there probably wouldn't be this band. For Zoey, it was a mixed blessing. She now had her own life. The disastrous marriage and the burden of being a single mother were now a thing of the past. She felt like she was rebuilding her life with a clean slate. She'd done very well tooIt was hard for her to see Lane so happy as part of her new family. Everyone headed to bed early. Zoey, Rikki and I chose to go out for a drink and catch up. The women mostly talked about the progress on their real estate venture. They had just seen each other the week before. So much was happening with that now. Zoey did ask me how Lane was doing and said she had heard nothing but great words about the band. Lane and Michele were a solid couple too. The bus loaded up two hours before their scheduled performance. The road crew had gone ahead of us to get situated. Marnie showed security our passes and we were directed to the parking spot backstage in the artist area. The gravity of the situation washed over the band. Michele gave them a gentle pep talk. She reminded them, if something goes wrong, just take a second to find out where the song is and then join back in. She reminded everyone that no one in the audience knows the songs, so they won't know if you get lost. Of course no one got lost. They were a finely honed machine. I was a proud father when the girls hit the stage. They looked so confident, and professional. The band before them was a singer songwriter with a county flavor. Michele looked out at the audience, said hello and counted the band in. It was like a lightning bolt. It was powerful and melodic. Suzi's guitar was soaring over the solid beat. When Adi and Michele started singing, the audience was sucked in. They played the thirty five minutes virtually non-stop only pausing to change instruments. The response was enthusiastic right from he start. After each song the applause grew louder and louder. Michele turned to the band and nodded her own approval. It was hard not to be captivated by the whirling dance that Adi was doing up front and the swaying movements of the band. Jimmy and Jam were beside themselves.This is exactly why they knew they had to play in this band. Down in front, a group of girls had gathered up and we dancing along to the music. Their reaction to the music spread and pretty soon, the whole crowd of 10,000 were up on their feet. It was all over too soon. But as you should the, band left them wanting more. The tight schedule didn't allow for encores. The six of them stood at the front of the stage and waved goodbye. As they walked off, the MC stepped up and ask the audience to give the band one more hand. He got a roar as a response. "I think that is a band we will be hearing a lot more of in the future. Adi In The Lion's Den. Remember that name." Kath, Geri, Zoey, Rikki and I made our way back stage to the reception area to go congratulate the band. They were surrounded by a large group of musicians. It was forty minutes before we could make our way to the ecstatic bunch. "I think we sounded pretty good. How was it out front?" We assured them it was the best we'd ever heard them play. It was decided to head to Crooked River as soon as we were loaded up. It was a four hour drive and we didn't want to be rushing on Saturday morning. As we drove away from the amphitheater, there was a collective whoop of joy in the bus.Things quieted down quickly and we just sat back and enjoyed the scenic drive. We had rooms in town. The venue was a short ride from there. It also put us just a few blocks from the small club they would be doing their second show at, The River's Edge. The road crew and equipment arrived shortly after we did. They were all smiles and were happy to not be working for the rest of the day. After saying hello, they headed down to the main street in search of the local action. There was plenty with the festival in progress. The crew of four was Jax, Rando, Lisa and Jett. They were seasoned road warriors and came hightly recommended. They were also well paid, 50% above the standard fee. That did not go unnoticed and they made sure to take good care of this band. The rest of us sat down for a low-key family dinner and then it was quiet time before bed. Before heading off, Michele and Lane came over to talk. "Tomorrow is a big day. Two shows. I know we can do it. We were seamless today. There is some pressure now. We'll be playing our long set at the showcase then our party set at the late show. I hope Eddie Stone's fans like us. Those guys are the biggest band from the last fifteen years. Some of us weren't even born when they started. Fuck. Thanks for supporting us this far. If we crash and burn, we'll be ok. We can go back to playing the corporate gigs and make little records for ourselves. Don't worry about us. I'm guessing we'll do fine. It's the Crooked River show that matters. See you in the morning." The next day was much calmer than I expected. The band was allowed to arrive at 2pm and could set up and soundcheck as soon as the lunch time band had cleared out. Sylvia was in her element. She knew some of the bands playing and the others knew of her. Only her closest friends dare venture up to say hello. Others watched in awe from afar. By nature of being booked on this special stage, the band was given respect, even though they were completely unknown. Micky and Dusty were in full rock and roll mode. They looked the part and moved with confidence. I could see musicians eyeing them as they huddled with Sylvia to discuss the logistics. The showcase show would start at 5.30. The main stage music stops at 5pm to allow the festival goers to eat dinner. The music on the Main Stage would restart at 7pm and continue until Midnight. The showcase had become a very popular event. The tent was located in a bowl off to the side of the natural amphitheater. The bowl was ringed by trees and food trucks. People could purchase food then sit on the grass in the bowl. The Showcase tent only seated about 500, mostly press and industry people. To accommodate the others, there were screens and speakers around the bowl for the diners to watch and listen. There had been some memorable performance in the past, so there was always a large crowd for the dinner hour. Sylvia's involvement with the band had created a major stir with the business people. She had been locked away with the band for months now and people wanted to know who they were. Marnie had done a good job of priming the promotion pump. There was a buzz in the air. For this show, the band were wearing their new stage clothes designed by Sig and Daff. They looked sharp when they came out on stage to a round of applause. The announcer gave them a short introduction, calling them Sylvia J's newest discovery. I could see Michele smirk at the the though of being discovered. As the music started, Adi slowly danced up to the front from the side of the stage where she had been hiding. It was a dramatic entranced well timed. Just as she got to the microphone, she started singing. They were playing the new songs in the order they would appear on the record. As the first song ended, the crowd jumped to their feet with a shout of amazement. The band didn't stop, they rolled right into the next song. This went on for the next 60 minutes. The music was complex, yet inviting. It felt familiar and comfortable, also new and fresh. It didn't take long for the picnickers to also take notice. There was a deafening roar about three songs in. We were told that people started flocking to the bowl to see what was happening. For fear of a stampede, the festival turned the video and audio feed on at the Main Stage. The industry people were clearly aware they were witnessing a bit of musical history and were all on their feet. As quickly as it had started, the band were done with a dramatic climax. A perfectly choreographed musical performance. I could feel the sound of the crowd on the festival grounds. The noise was deafening and relentless. The people in the tent were not ready for the music to stop. After five minutes of this I saw the stage managers meet and send someone back stage to get the band back out before there was a riot. This is what Michele dreamed of and they were prepared. Out of the darkness the MC asked everyone to chill and said they had a surprise. I could see the band coming back out on stage and heard the music stirring. Before they could be announced, the band started playing on the darkened stage. It took the crew a second the realize they weren't tuning up, they had started into the encore. The spotlight found Adi who was in a trance. I knew what they were doing. It was the cover of Both Sides Now that they had played at the ski resort. The audience was not prepared for what was to follow and I don't think the Festival realized they had allowed the band to launch off into the unknown. Rather than sing the song as written, Adi was improvising around the words and melody like Miles Davis. The band was in full flight. When they got to the takeoff point, Adi twirled and collapsed on the stage in a cloud of her long dress. That was the signal for Suzi to unleash a tidal wave of notes. Lane was supporting her on guitar and Michele was pumping gentle waves of notes on the organ. It was the sound of a drug trip. Jimmy and Jam were locked in together with eyes on the girls upfront waiting for cues. The guitar faded and the organ took center stage. Lane was on the piano playing a hypnotic pattern. The audience in the tent was now seated, but swaying like seaweed in the ocean.The band was only tuned in to each other. Lane started play harmonica, signaling another movement. Suzi took off on a very Indian sounding mode. Then some familiar passages. She was quoting Mike Bloomfield's famous solo on the song East-West. Someone in the tent recognized it and let out a whoop. Then slowly there was recognition out in the crowd and another wave of cheers erupted. Suzi looked over to Michele with the biggest smile I'd ever seen on her face. They didn't dwell on the familiar notes, but again changed directions, This time is was a white hot jazz fusion improvisation. I thought the audience was going to melt from the heat. Again a loud roar flew over the festival grounds. Just as it seemed like the band was going to levitate, they turned on a dime and were back into Both Sides Now. This time they played it straight. The screams in the tent were of pure joy. The band got through the verse and chorus and ended gently. Just like that. They had been back on stage for 25 minutes. The festival people were so drawn in to the music, they made no effort to signal the band to wrap it up. The Main Stage schedule was put on hold to allow the girls their well earned time. The band slipped off stage in the dark and collapsed in the dressing room in a heap of giggles and laughter. The festival press manager, came into the room and told the band the press wanted to meet with them. The band, wrapped in towels, followed to the press room where there was a table set up for the bands to sit and answer questions. It was the predicable: "Where are you from? When is the album coming out? How was it to work with Sylvia J? Michele handed the answers; Shangri-La, as soon as we can get a deal set up, and amazing. A young reporter stepped up and asked "Adi, isn't you mother...." Michele could see what was coming and interrupted the question before it was finished. "My mother is in a mental hospital. She had a complete psychotic break. She is gone. She'll never be well" The answer stopped the reporter from following up and caused a stir in the room. Michele looked over at Adi and said something. Adi nodded. I think Michele asked if she was ok. She put her arm around Adi and gave her a hug. There were a couple more softball questions. "Where are you going next?" "We're headed into town to open for Crystal Jelly at the River's Edge. There's a shuttle if you care to come and see the show. We have something special planned, so you might want to get on the bus. We have to get going. There is dinner waiting for us and we need to get ready to play again. Thanks." As the room started to empty, Marnie made a beeline towards the reporter who had tried to ask the question about Adi's mother, Bonnie Jahar When Rikki and I got to them the reporter was telling Marnie her name. "Olivia Vegas." Marnie asked who she was working for. "Freelance now. I used to write for Rocking Stone and The Washington Pillar, but those gigs evaporated. Now it's all celebrity gossip. Music isn't very important to them. I was just working an angle that might help me sell a story. " "How did you know Bonnie Jahar was Adi's mother?" "Funny. I was at her last book release. Adi was there with her. She's a striking looking young woman. Hard to miss." "Look. Michele might have been rude the way she cut you off, but you have to understand. It's only been a year since Adi lost her parents. She's still pretty shattered by the whole thing. The band is about this group of people and the music they make. We would rather there was no distractions about family and such. Adi and Michele are survivors. The music is their savior." "Oh. I see. I understand. I'm sorry for being a little too inquisitive. I really do think the band is amazing and I wanted to get a story about them published. I can write a good piece about the music, but that will be a harder sell. Understand, I'm in this business because I love music. My grandfather was an underground DJ in the 60s and my father was a record company executive. It's in my blood." "Were you planning to go to the Crystal Jelly show in town? Why don't you come with us. You can ride on the bus with the band. They might talk to you if you are nice." "That would be fabulous. Let me go grab my bag from the coatcheck. I'll be right back." As we were loading on to the bus, I saw Olivia Vegas approach Adi. My guess is she was apologizing to Adi for blindsiding her with the question about her mother. Adi stopped to listen, then nodded and smiled. Then she hugged Olivia and they got on the bus together. It was a short ride back into town. We all went straight to dinner which had been arranged in advance. There was lively chatter around the table. Alice was showing the photos she'd taken. Sylvia said she had got the video feed from the festival and had successfully recorded the show. The evening gig was more casual than the showcase. They weren't going to repeat the earlier show, music or dress-wise. It' was full on dirty ass rock and roll. Jeans and tee shirts. Dressed down was actually sort of sexy. Three teenage girls looking foxy. Suzi just looked flat out hot. The boys looked sharp as usual. The club was nice. A big stage meant that Crystal Jelly's gear was already set up. The girls set up in front of those big amps and still had plenty of room. The festival spilled over into town. Beside this venue, there was music at other bars and in the park. It was a big yearly event for the town. Food trucks lined the main street and people were strolling around. Crystal Jelly was a big deal. There were three large busses parked behind the bar. Their road crew was helping our roadies set up. Syl was there to do the sound again. She knew some of the Jelly crew so all was smooth. The club was packed when the band hit the stage. They started with their blues routine. That got the crowd moving. When they slammed into the uptempo stuff, it just erupted. Again, it was just non-stop. They made unexpected turns and never let up. No one in the audience could have expected the band slipping into a greasy jazz mode. In-between the showband material, they did manage to play a few of their originals. The big ending was the James Brown - Sly Stone set. Michele came out from behind the organ and the five of them broke into a very well rehearsed dance step. The rhythm section was cooking and carrying the sound while the girls did their workout. The medley featured fragments of some famous old soul songs. Each time they threw one out, the crowd ate it up and roared. By the end of their 70 minute show, the place was going insane. Michele was dripping wet from sweat. They went out with a double time vamp, and then stopped cold. People were dancing on the tables by this point. The band seemed surprised and pleased with the response. In an unscripted move, Michele pulled off her soaking tee shirt and threw it into the audience. Luckily she was wearing a sports bra, not one of her sexy numbers. Adi looked on in horror, thinking she was supposed to do the same. Her and Suzi dashed off the stage before they could be caught up in the disrobing. Lane just laughed and did a jig, grabbing Michele and dragging her off stage. Marnie, Olivia, and I took the back stairway down to the dressing room to congratulate the band. This energetic second show clearly took it's toll on the young musicians. Michele and Lane were slumped on a couch looking drained. The sound of the wild audience could still be heard loud and clear down in the basement dressing rooms. A few minutes later, a head poke through the door. Olivia said "That's Eddie Stone." He asked if he could come in. The girls might have been shocked if they weren't so wiped out. "How do you expect me to follow that? I have seen the future and it is you. My time has clearly passed. I'm handing it all over to you. No way am I going out after what I just saw. That's it. I'm done. The other four Jellys were standing in the doorway listening to Eddie Stone announce his retirement, starting right then. "Eddie! What? What do you mean. We aren't going to play tonight?" "Not tonight, not ever again. I'm outta here." And with that Eddie Stone wished the band good luck and turned to leave. The rest of his band followed, pleading with Eddie to reconsider. Marnie grabbed Olivia and myself and said "come look." The club was nearly empty. No one knew about Eddie's decision to not play, they had just left when Adi In The Lion's Den didn't come back out. She walked us out the front door where we saw the former club occupants dancing in the street. Girls were gathering together and doing their version of the Lion's Den's dance routines. There were shouts of "Higher" and "Cold Sweat", songs the band had quoted. Pretty soon the small groups of dancers and formed a long line that stretched down the block. Marnie turned to Olivia and asked "Would you like to work with us. We need a press manager. What do you think?" Olivia didn't have to think twice "Sure, I'm in." Back in the club, the few remaining stragglers were witness to the sight of Eddie Stone, storming across the empty club floor with the band in pursuit. Eddie didn't even get on his private bus. He flagged down a car and asked for a ride to the airport. That was it. Eddie never returned to music. He moved to Iowa, where he took over his family's farm. "I'm heading back to the hotel. I'm going to file a story about what just happened. I'll see you there." "You just destroyed the biggest band in the land. Don't let it go to your head." Wise words from little Alice. The rest of us got on the bus for the very short ride to the hotel. Our driver took us right down the main drag, honking his horn. The girls opened windows and a waved to the crowd of new fans. Shouts of "Adi, Adi. " erupted as the bus drove away. It was a very excited bunch back at the hotel. Marnie was answering her phone, which was ringing non-stop. Olivia had her nose buried in her computer. Alice was sorting through the photos she'd taken. When she found a good one, she passed it on to Olivia for her news stories. Michele was scanning the headlines for any word about their shows or Eddie Stone. "Look, look. It's us at the festival." A festival press release had a short clip of the band with a brief review. That film was being reposted all over social media. I'm not sure how late anyone stayed up. Rikki and I were beat and drifted off to bed. We were up early and met by Olivia and Marnie who were monitoring the press that was appearing all over the web. The Eddie Stone story was everywhere. They all mentioned Adi In The Lion's Den. Rocking Stone had a big feature about the band's showcase at the festival. It was all good press. "We will be meeting with a couple of labels tomorrow. I've sent word to our lawyer and accountant that they need to join us. Marnie had already thought about this and had hired the legal and financial staff though our contacts at RoWill. She knew we had the advantage and went in with some very favorable terms for the band. She got what they wanted and then some. The album was to be released in four weeks. Promo videos were being prepared for quick release. There was even an invitation to appear on one of the national late night tv shows. One of the terms the band insisted on was no long tours. It was decided they'd go out a couple of times a month to play two and three day stands and small theaters. Their record release show would be in Boston. Michele had also played it smart. She made sure everyone in the band had writing credits on the record. This would mean a good payday for all of them. She still wrote the majority of the songs, some with Adi or Lane. Even Jimmy and Jam would earn a good check if the record sold. And it did. There was an initial order of two million copies. Within a month it had racked up sales of eight million copies. Our girls and boys were famous and everyone wanted a part of them. Olivia put up a strong defense around the band. This just created more excitement. No one really knew who they were. Sylvia would only talk about the music, never giving out any clues to the band's background. She also had more request for her services than she cared to entertain. Olivia and Sylvia decided to buy into Green River property. They bought an adjacent pair of the old townhouses and set up there. Syl got the basement for her studio and the rest was two residences for two very successful business women. Marnie took over the unused forth floor of the RoWil building for their company Burning Bush. Lane had suggested they take a picture of Adi's very red bush and used it for their logo. Of course she said "No way." Alice did manage to get her to pose for some test photos, just to see if it would work. "Nope, it just looks like some of Will's porn." She did get Adi to recreate the famous Botticelli The Birth Of Venus pose which got run through a filter. It was clearly Adi, the hips gave it away. The band went out to play straight away. Rikki would serve as den mother on these outings, leaving me home alone. Kath was still around, but Geri had returned to his mother's. Alice would go out sometimes to photograph the band. This weekend, it was just myself. A call from Rose was a welcome surprise. =====The Glitter Twins======= "Hey Will, my friend Carmine from Minneapolis is here to visit. Can we come over and swim? She's my best friend. I think you'd like her." I told Rose they could come over and spend a couple of days if they wanted. Rose said they wanted. Rae dropped the two girls off early the next morning. She only stayed long enough to say hello and thanked me for putting them up while she was out of town. "Mom's in a hurry it's spa week at the ranch out in the country. Really it's just a lesbian orgy, but I'm not supposed to know that. Will, this is Carmine Di Angelo. Minnie, this is Will. I told you about him." The dark haired you girl looked me up and down, and then smiled. "I heard a lot about you. I have a feeling it's all true too." I noticed that Rose had cut her hair. No more braid. Then it struck me, she looked like Michele or Lane. So did Carmine. They were dressed like them too. "You changed your look, didn't you. You two look like the The Terribles now." "Yep we're Glitter Twins. That's what they call the girls who copy Michele and Lane. The girls that follow Adi are called Skirts. You know, they wear the white skirts like Adi does. We all do their dance steps. It's all over Clik-Clok." "Glitter Twins. You know where that comes from? Come on in, I'll show you." The girls followed me up to the residence and into the media room. I scanned the book shelves where Michele's rock volumes were. I found a big Rolling Stones picture book and opened it up. "Look. Mick and Keef, the Glimmer Twins. Look how they are dressed. That's where they got their style. Someone must have figured that out and started calling The Glitter Twins." Rose grabbed the book and thumbed through the pages, pointing out pictures to Carmine. "We need to check this out. Maybe we can find something they haven't copied yet." "So what do you two want to do while your here?" "I called Jayne and she said we can ride tomorrow afternoon. Wanna come with us?" I told her no, but I'd meet them after the ride and we could have dinner at the Cold Spring Restaurant. I suggested we go up to the lake cabin today. We can stay over night. The cabin has been cleaned and was fully stocked. Can you take us to the record store before we go? There are some things we need to get. "Dave's doesn't open until eleven. How about if we go the the bakery and get something to eat and some coffee instead of waiting here. I'd like something sweet." I looked Carmine in the eyes when I said that. She gave me a little smile. "Sure, sounds good." "Can I take a couple of pictures of you two looking so cool?" "Carmine is a model." "You are? What kind of things have you done?" "Mostly just ordinary stuff. For trade publications and like that. I did do some clothes for Daytons last Christmas. And I'm going to do some girl's lingerie for K Miller when I get back. That's the good work. I get to keep what I wear for the shoot." "Did you know Katherine Miller is living up here now? She's an old friend of mine. She's set up out at the hay barn. Shame she's back in Denver today for some work. She'll be back tomorrow. You'll like her." "Shit! Really? That is so amazing. Ok, where do you want to take the pictures. The light over there looks good. C'mon Rose. Fix your lipstick and check your hair. Are you going to show these to Michele? I wonder what she thinks of us fans?" The girls sat on the bench and posed for me. Nothing silly. Just some cute smiles and such." "Ok, that's good for now. We can take some at the record store too. Let's go. I'm hungry and really need that coffee." Off we went. It was busy at the bakery. We ordered and then got a table by the window. "I like Green River. It's not all crazy like Minneapolis. The city is too much. We live out in the suburbs where is dull and boring. This is just about right here. Some happening stuff, but no city chaos. Luckily I get a car ride in when I'm working. There are some nice restaurants and stuff. It's just so loud. Makes me nervous." The girls had a lot to talk about. I just sat back and checked the messages from Michele and Rikki. The shows were going well and everyone was getting along. "Michele says Hattie Fast and her entourage showed up last night expecting free tickets for the sold out show. What a snotty superstar. Michele and Lane wet out to the reception area and said hello. They were not impressed. The shop opens in ten minutes. Let get over there right away so we can get back to the house and up to the cabin before it gets too late. It's nice up there this time of year." Tal had just opened the doors when the girls dashed in. "Hi Rose. Who's your Glitter friend?" Introductions were made and Tal asked what they were looking for today. "Hubert Sumlin. Lane says he's the best blues guitar player. And Minnie needs some Donovan." "Yeah, my grandmother is a big fan. She plays his records for me when we visit. That song Young Girl Sunday Blues. Wow. He liked the young girls didn't he?" "Rose, here are a couple of Herbert's albums. Here are the ones he did with Howlin' Wolf." "He's not on this one. It's someone named Willie Johnson. Jeez it's from 1948. That's like a hundred years ago. How is this record/" Tal told her a little about the history and then put it on. The girls were electrified and started dancing. Just then the door opened and another young girl strolled in. She saw Rose and Carmine dancing and joined right in. Rose looked up and burst into a huge smile. It was a Skirt. The new girl followed the steps then did a classic Adi twirl. When the song was over the girls faced each other and let out a whoop. "You're one of us. Right? What's your name? I'm Rose. This is my friend Carmine, Minnie." The new girl's name was Jody. She was a couple of years older, maybe thirteen. Cute, with short, wavy blond hair, tied up with a scarf. "I thought you would knew each other from school. Jody is a regular here." "We just moved to The River. I haven't started school here yet. Now I can't wait." "What are you looking for today Jody?" "I read an interview with Lane. She said Terry Reid was one of her favorite singers. Do you have any of his records/" Tal was delighted and scurried around the bins to find what Jody wanted. "Have you guys seen The Lion's Den play yet?" "I saw the first time they played. Well, the first time with Jimmy and Jam. In Vail, and a ski resort. They destroyed the poor bar band that let them on the stage. I met them there. That's why we moved here. Mom decided she could get a job in Green River. She works for Will now." "What are you guys doing today?" "We're going up to the lake cabin overnight. Tomorrow afternoon were going to ride horses. Why don't you come with us?" "Wow. yeah. Let me call my mom to see if it's ok. That would be great." Judy got on the phone and told her the story. Her mother must have asked if there was an adult involved, and handed me the phone. "Hello. It's my daughter's friends. The people at the stable will take good care of them and make sure they are safe. I'm going to take them over at two PM. They'll be out for two hours and then we will meet up at Cold Spring Restaurant for diner. Why don't you join us? I can pick you up on my way out to the stable. Ok. The Hights? Sure. I'm looking forward to meeting you too Aubry. Bye now." Tal gave Jody a look when she heard the name Aubry. "Is your mother Aubry Sterling?" "Yes. Is that ok?" "Well I know your mother. We have coffee together and hang out sometimes. The way Tal said "hang out" suggested more than trading recipes. "Are you working tomorrow? You want to join us for dinner Tal?" "I've got the day off. Sure. Dinner at Cold Springs. You'll love Aubry. Is that alright if your mom and I join you tomorrow?" It was all set. The girls paid for their purchases, exchanged contacts with Jody, and gave her a hug as they left. I got us back to North Cliff so we could get moving. "You might want to change out of your fancy clothes and put on something for hiking and hanging out. You have some jeans or something for riding? Your rocker duds will be fine for dinner. You can clean up and change there." I pointed the girls to the bedroom to put on their hiking clothes. "I'll go bring the ATV around and meet you back up here in a few minutes." I loaded a cooler with some food and drinks. They both had their changes packed up in their duffle bags, which I tossed onto the back of the ATV. Needles to say, I was looking forward to being alone with these two eleven year old beauties. What a stunning vision when they emerged. They were wearing matching tight blue gym shorts and athletic tank tops. The different body shapes were now very apparent. Rose was pale, long and straight. Not skinny, just no hips. She did have a nice ass, but it wasn't any wider than her narrow hips. Minnie had some ass and hips. Not big, just enough to contrast from Rose. Minnie had black hair, and nice Roman nose and olive skin. Rose of course was very Scandinavian in color "Can we swim in the lake?" "You could, but you'd freeze your ass off. The snow melt is always cold. The lake freezes over in winter," Satisfied, they spent the rest of the ride enjoying the scenery. Everyone was loaded, so I pointed up towards the lake. The girls gawked the whole way. Spotting birds, deer and a fox. When we arrived at the lake, I explained that we had to take a boat across. I led them to the boathouse and pulled out the cargo boat to move the cooler and bags. Minnie saw the canoe and asked if they could take that over. "We have a canoe and my uncles cabin. I know how to paddle and not flip it. Land of Ten Thousand Lakes you know?" Rose and Minnie seemed to know what they were doing. They expertly pulled it off the rack, and found the oars and life vests. Off we went. It's just a few minute ride to the other side. When we landed they jumped out and quickly realized I wasn't kidding about the water temperature. I showed them where to tie up the boats. They grabbed their bags and I carried the cooler. They were in awe. "Minnesota is beautiful but we don't have mountains like this. They turned and looked across the valley and then the other way checking out our mountain range. "This is awesome. I'd live here all the time." "Ha! No internet, how long do you think you'd last. The shower is over there next to the outhouse." "Well maybe I'd come up here in the summer, as much as I could." "You are always welcome. Let's just enjoy this time now. OK?" They were even more impressed by the cabin interior. I showed the their room, and then my master suite. "That bed is big enough for all of us and then some." Minnie laughed at that suggestion, knowing Rose was speaking from experience. "Grab some water and snacks. There are backpacks in the closet. We'll walk up to the gap and over into the park. It's not very far from here. The girls found some hats too. We were set. I explained that my father bought this ranch. He owned everything up to the ridge of these mountains. "The State owns the land on the other side. There is the gap in the mountain and a trail into the park that isn't on any maps. We don't want people straying over on our side. You have to know where the gap is, you wouldn't see it if you don't know where to look.There is nothing up at this end of the park. There is a trail, but it runs on the other side of the creek. The girls asked about bears and stuff. I told them not up here in the summer. Rarely in the fall. Minnie had her camera and was taking pictures the whole way. "Wow, this is like a secret passage though the mountains. The park side has a dense forest compared to our side. I led the way, as the trail is hard to see and you have to know the quirks. We got down to the creek and stopped to rest and contemplate. The girls sat quietly. All you could hear was running water and birds. I was pleased that they could turn off their chatter and clear their heads and enjoy. It wasn't long before we heard something stirring in the forest. I signaled them to keep quiet and looked around. It was a doe and her fawn. We watch with out making a sound. The were heading down to the creek to have a drink. We got to watch them for at least twenty minutes. I wasn't watching the clock, it just seemed about that long. Once they had moved on, the girls spoke up. "This is so quiet and calm compared to even Green River. I can't believe you grew up here and spent so much time exploring. Have you seen the whole ranch? I suggested we head back over and get set up for the evening. They agreed and asked if they could lead the way back. I let them. I wanted to see if they were paying attention. They both pointed out the landmarks where the trail turned. We got back to the cabin with out them losing their way. When we got back to the cabin, Rose turned to Minnie and reminded her what they had talked about. "Remember, this is just between us. Don't you dare tell anyone you were at Michele's house or with Will." "Thanks Rose. Look Minnie, we need to keep the girl's lives private. And anything we three get up to is very private. I'm sure you understand." "Promise. I know what trouble is. One of the boys at the modeling agency let Mark Davis take some nude pictures. Some of them having sex. The idiot traded them with one of his photographer friends, who put them on the web. We had the cops and all kinds of shit. I had to talk to the police. They wanted to know if I knew about this and if Davis had ever bothered me. I've never worked with him and a barely new the kid. We are never supposed to be alone with the photographers. A parent or an assistant are always with us. Funny. After that, one day mom got bored and left. She knows Shannon, my regular photographer and trusts her. Shannon asked me about the scandal and asked if anyone had ever asked me to do nudes. I told her no. She asked what I thought of posing nude for her. That was a little weird. I just laughed and let it go. She got the hint. I would do it if I knew no one would post those pictures. I can't afford that. I'd never work again doing legit stuff. So are you going to take some art photos of Rose and me?" "Tell Will about your brother." "Shush! Ok. My bother is a couple of years older. He's always horny now. Donnie always wants to show me his pecker and tries to get me to show him my pussy. One day we were playing around and I accidentally touched him. He had a little boner. It felt sort of neat. Of course he pulled his pants down to show me. It was hard. I touched it again. This time right on it. It felt hot and hard. He loved me playing with him. He told me to kiss it. I knew about blow jobs, but I didn't tell him. I pretended to give it a little peck, then opened my mouth and put it in. He got so excited he shot his jizz right then. It wasn't bad. He asked to see my pussy but I told him no way. One day when his friend Jared was over I heard them whispering in his room. I knew they were fooling around. I got my phone and opened the door and took a picture. My brother was sucking Jared's cock.. Boy he freaked out when he saw me. I told him no one would see the picture, unless he told anyone our secret. I went in his room and sat on the bed. I asked him if they were gay. He said they just wanted to see what it was like to suck a dick. I told them to continue and I was going to watch. they weren't very good at it. I gave them some instructions. Boy they really got into it then. I took some more pictures. I gave them the ones I took. I think my brother jerks off to them now. What a dork." I got my camera organized and asked Carmine where she thought might be a good place for some photos. "Down by the lake. Do you have some big towels or a rug for us?" I pulled a rug out of the storage closet and dragged it down to the beach. Minnie grabbed Rose and they went off and had a talk. When they came back, she said they had some ideas." "Just start with some glamour poses. Classic stuff. We brought swimsuits and some sexy underwear. C'mon Rose, let's go look like starlets." They ran down to the beach, holding hands and looking lovely. I started taking pictures right then. When they sat down, they giggled and smiled for me. Then they kissed. Not tentative at all. Then they stood up and one at a time peeled off those sexy shorts. They were both wearing thongs, very small thongs. They are young girls with small bodies so the panties were just little patches of material. With their shorts off, they hugged and kissed some more. Rose grabbed Minnie's butt and pulled her close and ground her pussy into the other girl. They were about the same height, so they matched up perfectly. Minnie made the next move, pulling Rose's tank top off. She did it slowly so I could get plenty of pictures. When it was off, she leaned down and licked a little pink girl nipple. They were laughing the whole time, but never breaking the sexual tension that was building. Rose's returned the favor and pulled off Minnie's top. What a perfect sight. These to darling sweeties now nearly naked and kissing. Then a hand slipped into the other's panties. The laughing stopped and a sigh was heard. They were touching each other now. Legs were spread a little for better access. One pair of panties were removed, then the other. I was getting hard. The sight of two prepubescent girls exploring their sexuality was amazing. One of them suggested they get back down on the rug. They both sat and spread their legs for me. I was down on the sand with my camera getting closeups of the bare slits. Rose made the first move. She licked her fingers and rubbed them in Minnie's crack. Minnie leaned back and raised her knees and spread them. She was giving Rose complete access to her cunt. Rose licked her fingers again and probed the puffy lips. This was no show, this was real sex between two young girls. Rose didn't hesitate. She got on her knees between Minnie's legs and leaned down and put her mouth on the open pinkness. Carmine groaned loudly. I moved around them taking pictures. There was no posing, but they looked so natural, twined together. Two perfect young bodies. A beautiful contrast of shapes and colors. Rose was like a kitten, lapping at the bowl of cream.She knew what she was doing and did it well. Poor Minnie was out of her mind with pleasure. Rose looked up at me, with her sticky, wet face and smiled for the camera. Then she went back to work for the final push. Minnie was like a rag doll tossing and twitching. She made no secret when the orgasm was building. I'm sure her cries echoed across the lake. Her thighs gripped Rose's head and her hips bucked in ecstasy. Rose didn't let up until she was pushed away. She moved up on top of her friend and kissed her. Carmine kissed her back and said "I've been missing you." The two girls lay in the warm sun curled together. This little show had a serious effect on me, but I didn't feel I should disturb the two close friends. right now. I took a few more pictures and then just sat back to take in the sight. Minnie finally stirred. "Damn. I haven't cum that hard since you left. My fingers just aren't the same. My stupid brother wouldn't know how to lick a pussy anyway. And the little tiny dick of his is no good to me." "No kidding. It's tiny even for a boy. Hey I'm hungry. I'll fix some lunch. I'll meet you inside when you can get your sorry asses up off the beach." Carmine finally acknowledged me. She gave me a big smile and stretched out provocatively. Her years of modeling had given her a strong awareness of her body and what looked flattering. Even after sex with her best friend. "Rose said I'd have fun here with you. I'm still waiting to get my hands and lips on your body. I guess we have all day and night. I give you my consent in advance." She sat up and stretched. "Lunch sounds good. The walk tired me out. And Rose finished me off. Damn that girl. She learned well from Rae. Rose told me she got to fool around with Lane and Michele. You know how many girls would be envious?" I stood up and grabbed Carmine's hand and lifted her up. We walked up to the cabin holding hands. I wish I could have watched us walk up the hill. That delicious ass of her's had a nice sway when she walked. She was no gawky kid, she had style and poise. I'm making some hot sandwiches. This cheese you brought up is amazing. And the bread from the bakery too. I need to ask Suzi to teach me how to bake bread. I don't have a clue. It's magic, isn't it?" Rose had put on some panties and a tee shirt. Minnie disappeared into the bedroom to put something on too. She came out wearing a very loose tank top and her little panties that she had on earlier. They both looked like angels. The light streaming into the kitchen added to the effect. Rose set the table and poured drinks. She seemed like someone who had been taking care of herself for a long time. Carmine asked endless questions over lunch. Of course she wanted to know all about North Cliff and what I do. I told her enough to carry the conversation. I turned the tables and asked her about herself. "Dad's a professor, mom's a doctor. My brother is two years older. He's a dork, but a smart dork. He's a math savant. Serious. They are studying him at the university. Me, I got the good looks. I love school, and get good grades. It's just that modeling is fun most of the time and even exciting. I've met a few famous people on shoots. They are nice, but they don't care who us little people are. I'm saving my money. I'll go to college. That's taken care of. "You haven't met Alice yet, she's out of town with the band. She was a very famous model in Japan. You'll like her. She's funny and sweet. She didn't have a good family like you do. Count yourself lucky." "C'mon lets get in bed for a while I need to warm up." Rose was taking the lead and I was going to follow. "Will you are going to have to get undressed to get in bed. We'll watch." The two girls sat on the edge of the very large bed and watched and waited as I kicked off my shoes and pulled off my shirt. I was wearing a favorite pair of Lejuby bikini panties. White. I wasn't sure how they would react as I unbuttoned my Levis and slowly pulled them off. At first they didn't notice. "Look. I have the same ones. You are wearing girl's panties. I should think it's weird, but it isn't. It's very sexy. Better than those awful ones my father wears. He'd never look sexy in panties. He's sort of fat and bald. Jeez. you are pretty hot. That's what you told me Rosie. I like this. What do I do now?" "Let's pants him." Rose jumped off the bed and got behind me. I felt her hands on my ass, then hook her fingers in the waistband. "Ok, 1-2-3." "Yikes!" "You OK Minnie?" "Shit. It's really big. I didn't know they could be like that. Donnie's is just a little acorn. I can barely hold it with my thumb and finger. Dad's is the same only fatter." "When did you see your dad's weenie?" "When I was little we'd take baths together. Didn't you do that?" "Nah, my dad left when I was just little. C'mon. Let's have a look. I can show you what to do. It's fun. Will's cock is fun and it's smart too. Like there was a little brain in that purple head." Rose was back on the bed sitting next to Carmine. She grabbed me with one hand and told Minnie to grab hold "Feel how hot it is. Can you feel his heart beating. Thump thump thump. It's getting harder. He's really turned on by you. Put both hands on it. You like?" "It's big. I guess my hands are small too." With out hesitation, Minnie kissed my cock head. That made me jump a little. Something about looking down and that face; lipstick, a little eye makeup. It was a strange contradiction. A young girl, who also looked like an adult. I was more than a little turned on by this darling. The two darlings. Minnie got bolder and opened her mouth wide enough to take the head of my dick into her mouth, Her lips gently clamped around the shaft and her tongue darted around. I nearly came. That surprised me. I pride myself for my control. Her hands were working on me too. "You got him Minnie. Look, he can hardly keep from blowing his wad. Just go slow. You don't have to shove it all down your throat. All the good feelings are just at the tip, on the bottom side. Right Will? I did my homework." Minnie was exploring and experimenting. Making a note of what made me react. Despite the warning, she tried to deep throat me. She barely got half of my shaft down before she stopped and pulled off. "Fuck me, that is a lot of meat. No way can I do that. Come back when I'm older Will, will you?" I assured her she had a lifetime season pass. They both laughed and she went back to work. This time will real determination. Minnie understood the concept and had good technique. Rose offered some advice, but mostly watched and took pictures. Those tender juicy lips wrapped around my shaft were doing the job. Her hands bushed me lightly, never squeezing too hard. "Honey, I'm going to blow my wad in a minute. Get ready. You don't have to swallow it all. I'll warn you." Minnie pulled off of me just long enough to acknowledge and went back to work. Rose put the camera down and moved in close to Minnie's face. "You're gonna love this." "Aw shit, now!!" That was all I could take. I raised up on my toes and thrust my hips forward. I heard a gasp and frantic sucking and slobbering. I saw her tap Rose and then pull off. Rose took the hint and dove right in and locked her red lips on my knob." Minnie looked up and me smiling and giggling with cum running down her chin. Rose got a couple of big jets and then the oozing remainders. "Did we do good Will?" I assured them both they had done a champion job. "Now fuck her Will. That's what she's here for. Fuck her." Rose pushed Minnie back on the bed and get between her legs. "I'll get her ready for you." This was something they had obviously done before. Rose was turned on and aggressive. She got Minnie wound up in knots and then over the edge. "Now fuck her Will. Fuck her like you fucked my little pussy. Pound her hard. She wants it bad." I pushed Rose out of my way with a grunt. She tumbled over with a laugh. "You fuckin' perv. You can't wait to get in that virgin pussy. She's still got her cherry. I bet you like that. Popping a girl's cherry. First one in." That was a surprise. It did turn me on more. I got positioned with my cock head at the small entrance. "Are you ready little girl. The first time, and the only first time." "Quit talking and do it to me. I've waited eleven years for this." Damn. Dirty girls. I pushed hard, I hit her maidenhead and just kept up full force. Poor Minnie let out a yelp. "Fucin' ouch, goddammit." She was tight, as expected of a girl her age. But a pussy is made to accept a stiff tool and stretched to take me in. "Ah man, he's in me. I finally have a dick inside of meeeeee." This was a rare treat and one I couldn't expect to enjoy often, if ever again.I was going to make it last, no matter how much she might protest. She didn't resist. She encouraged me. I was deep in her, but no way was it all going in. "He's gonna cum so much it's gonna come out your ears." Both the girls laughed. This was going to be a huge load. I'd not been this turned on since the first time I did Michele. Minnie started cumming. Her firm pussy muscles grabbed me hard. "Go Minnie. You're almost there." With that, she groaned and squeezed me even harder.That set me off. I growled and screamed. She just looked up at me with a devilish grin. "Ohm I can feel it. It's hot and wet." In an instant her as was in a puddle of cum with streaks of blood from her ripped hymen. "Ok, stop please. It hurts a little." Rose grabbed my shoulder and pulled me towards her," Get off her. It's my turn. NOW!" I think we all laughed out loud. Rose pulled me on top of her. "I know there is plenty more jizz in there. Do it.' Rose was very wet. Watching me fuck her friend had turned her on. She'd had sex with two girls at once, but this was different. Se with a man was completely different. Watching and now taking part was her ultimate turn on. I slipped right in. Rose's vagina had been host to her toys many times. It was different than the first time we had sex. She knew what to expect and how to make it more enjoyable for herself. Minnie watched in amazement. I think only now could she picture what she'd just been through.I had been rough with Minnie but now it was pure animal lust with Rose. She looked up at me with wild eyes, her mouth twisted with determination. She was a sex machine, born to pleasure her partners. I lasted a little longer inside Rosie. I came harder and produced another huge load. Nothing like the little watery squirt that Minnie's brother Donnie could produce. Rose kissed me and then pushed me off. She turned to Carmine and kissed her. "I told you it would be amazing." "It was. If I wasn't so sore, I'd asked for a return visit right now." I looked across the bed and the two well fucked little girls. Pre-pubescent, bald pussies. Cute flat chests. And those beautiful faces. We all quietly rested. Taking in the events of the last few hours. "Ooooh, I'm all sticky. Is the shower warmer than the lake?" I assured Minnie it was. We all got up and dashed out across the deck to the shower. There was still plenty of sun. We hadn't fucked away the whole day. Minnie wiped a gob of cum that had leaked from inside of her. "Blood. Gross. At least that is now out of the way." I wrapped them both up in big fluffy towels and we scampered back into the house. The girls headed off to their room to do what ever girls do after getting fucked by the same man. I went and got dressed in some comfortable clothes and headed to the kitchen to start preparing dinner. It was nearly an hour before they reappeared. All dressed up and looking all pink and fresh. I told them what the dinner choices were. They both said steak on the grill. I got the fire going and pulled out some salad fixings. Minnie offered to make a salad. She asked for a few ingredients for a dressing, which of course were all in the cupboard. "My grandmother's vinaigrette. You'll love this. She's an amazing cook. Real Italian." The long summer evening meant we could sit out in the sunroom to eat. Rose got Minnie to tell me more about herself. Rose told her how much she enjoyed Green River and couldn't wait to start school at Franklin. Minnie had a load of questions for me. I gave her the condensed story, which was still a lengthy tale. When we were done I told them to go down to the lake and look for the owl. They might see some bats too. I cleaned up. There wasn't much, so it just took a few minutes. I joined them as quickly as I could. Something about these girls. They were confident and poised when the showed up this morning. The seemed to have matured and become more graceful by evening. They were a little less girly. Their conversations seemed deeper. "We saw the owl. It flew right over us. There are some fish jumping. Hear the frogs?" Pretty soon the stars were out. Away from the house and the city, we had a sky full of stars. "That's the Milky Way. Orion over there. Look a shooting star." The girls took it all in. Finally a yawn gave them away. "Can we all sleep together? That bed of your's is huge." I reminded them we had to be at Cold Spring before 2pm. If they got ready early, we could take the foothill trial most of the way there. It's the pretties way to get across the valley. Panties and tank tops were the chosen sleep apparel. I slept naked as I usually do. The two girls fuddled up together and fell asleep in a few minutes. I read for a while before shutting the lights out. I realized my dick was a little sore from all the tight places it had been pushed in to. They were still asleep when I woke at 6:30 am. The sun was enough to get me out of bed. I dressed for the day and made coffee and grabbed my laptop to write about the recent weeks. I've always kept a diary. Always in a very safe place. The North Cliff stories are very special, very secret. Not something I would want to share with the world. Rikki has read some of the entries and helped me edit them. Of course I never used anyone's real name. I have a spreadsheet with the real names and a few other important details. My diary is illustrated too. A few select photos are inserted to remind me of those magical moments. There are cross references to the photo and spy cam files on the server. A rustling of girls alerted me that they were awake and moving around. I closed my computer and went looking for them. Neither drank coffee. Tea and orange juice was requested. They were more than happy when I offered to make waffles with some fresh fruit. After breakfast, the girls cleaned up the place and stripped the bed. I told them to just put the towels and sheets into the basket and the housekeepers would take care of it. We need up leaving the cabin earlier than expected. This meant we could take our time heading east to Cold Spring. They were both taking pictures. I stopped at a few places that they'd like. At the Hay Barn we had to cross the creek to the north side. I showed them the Carriage House, and told them that's were the records are recorded. They wanted a look in, but I told them sorry, no. I was surprised to see work on the new farm house was moving along. I'm out of the loop on this project. Rikki is working with Adi on this. It's going to resemble the original house, with larger more modern size rooms. It's also a little farther west of the original site. Hey didn't need the house right next to the studio. It was Kristin who greeted us at the stable. First thing I noticed was she's dropped the cowgirl look. No more braid and Wranglers. Then I got it. She had a new hairdo, not unlike Rose and Minnie. They noticed too. "Your a Glitter Twin too, aren't you?" Oh, shoot. Yeah. Kim my hairdresser insisted. She put her own twist on the style. I don't look exactly like you to clones." Jody arrived just then. Aubry said a quick hello and said she had some errands to do before I picked her up for dinner. The ice was broken and they were all fast friends from that point on. I waved goodbye and told them I'd be back with the others at five. I had a couple of hours so I headed back to the house to relax. Rikki had sent some messages and photos from the show last night. ====Aubry And Jody, Mother And Daughter Join The Fun======= I scanned her texts. All had gone well. They had tested a lottery for fans who couldn't afford the tickets. Despite all their attempts, there was no way to keep the ticket prices down to movie prices. The crew and the production cost real money. The venues wanted to cash in too. Marnie and Olivia worked out a scheme to offer some tickets that could only be redeemed by the entrant and could not be resold by scalpers. A clever use of blockchain. The seats were selected randomly through out the theater, so a winner could possibly get front row seats. The lottery only opened after the show had sold out, so people who could afford tickets couldn't afford to take a chance to get a free seat. There were a few hundred applications for the fifty free seats. Now that they knew it worked, it would become a regular feature at all the shows. A little pay forward to their fans. The gang was flying back on Monday and would arrive in the late afternoon. Michele sent me a very erotic love letter and a photo. "You can screw those little girls, but you can only make love to me." I realized I had better get moving. I texted Aubry and Tal to let them know I was heading into town. They both responded quickly to confirm. I picked up Tal first as she knew exactly where Aubry lived. She looked fabulous. No sign of her usual punk rocker garb. She was stunning. "So up to snob nob. You know the way. I'll get us to her place once we hit Ridge Road." Tal made some small talk, making no suggestion that her and Aubry were having an affair. "Did those two sexy little things spend the night with you at The Castle? They seem to get younger all the time. Rose is a sharp one. Jody too. Nice to have women in the shop, not those know it all record geeks. It's true, some of the smell like they never met a bar of soap. The ones that try to get creepy find out very quick that isn't a good idea. We've 86'd a couple of guys. Words gets around. Turn on the next street, it's that house at the end of the cul- de-sac." An impressive two story with a yard that opened uo on the back to a large section of the top of the hill. Lots of trees. The garage was behind the house. A driveway curved around to the back. Tal said to pull up to the side door. I'd just got the car parked when Aubry poked her head out of the door and waved us in. "C'mon in. We have enough time that you can visit for a minute." Aubry was a perfectly shaped small blond. Her surfer girl beauty still shone through at age 36. Flat stomach, medium tits and appealing hips. Her short dress showed off perfectly shaped legs. She was till pure California beach girl. "Nice place you have here. It was furnished in tasteful mid -century decor. Clean, simple look. We entered through the kitchen which was a well appointed commercial grade set up. "I like to cook and entertain. I'll be sure to invite you to my next dinner party. You probably know everyone in the business here, but it's growing fast and there are new faces relocating here. I sold my parents beach house in Malibu. that bought a lot more here in this town. My folks retired to Thailand. I was the only child. They just gave it all to me. House, cars, art collection. Jody and I are comfortable. We try not to flaunt it. Jody understands and has simple tastes. Except for her record collection. Tal is gonna retire on Jody's spending. I'll show you around." The living room and dining rooms were spacious. There was also a family room with a TV and stereo set up. We went up stairs. That's Jody's room there, I have an office/sewing room here, and the master bedroom. I noticed she had some original art on the walls. Andy Warhol was very noticeable. There was a large walk in closet. It was only half full, but that was still substantial. There was a deck on the back of the house, that gave them a view across the top of the hill. "It's county property on the far side of the hill. I have about one hundred acres of forest. There us a pond out there. Beavers. You like beavers Will?" Tal couldn't help but to bust out laughing. Aubry smiled a very seductive smile. "Do you know K. Miller Designs? Katherine is an old friend. My middle school girlfriend. She's just got back to town this afternoon and will be joining us for dinner. She's been living out on the farm for a while. Chilling." "Oh wow! Look" Aubry pulled back the bedspread to show us K Miller designer sheets. Then she walked us to the bathroom to show off her KM towels. "Really. Your old girlfriend? You must have been quite the couple. We'd better get going don't you think?" She grabbed her purse on the way out and off we went. I noticed the eye contact between Tal and Aubry. It was subtle, but telling. They acted comfortable with each other. A quiet friendship was apparent. On the drive out, Aubry had a load of questions. She'd not been out to the south edge of town, so it was new to her. Our hidden road elicited a gasp. "How do people find this place/" "We are coming up on the back side. The public would be coming around from the East Park road." I stopped at the North Cliff turn off and said the road is hidden because that it my place there. We like to keep the curious away. "This is all very mysterious. You need to explain this all to me some day." I did explain that this was our private road. "The property on the north side is our's too. A buffer. That's the computer camp school campus. That road goes to The Barn. My father used to have classical music concerts there. Cold Spring used it for weddings for a while, but we've moved all that off the farm and horse ranch now. You'll see when we get there. I can't believe you've not been out here. Might be the nicest restaurant in the county." I found a shady spot to park and we walked across to the corral. One of the hands was removing saddles from some horses. I figured those were the ones the girls had ridden. I was happy when Dallas came out to say hello. I introduced him. "Your daughter and the others had a grand time. I think she'll be wanting to come back to ride again soon. Jayne is inside waiting for you. See ya soon Will." Zeta greeted us at the door and led us to the private room we'd be gathering in. Katherine was the first to arrive. She looked amazing. There was a spark in her eyes that had been missing since she returned. She still had that teenage figure. Her hair was shorter now. She'd pulled her look together while out of town. Aubry was a little nervous meeting this legendary lady. The contrast between the dainty blond and the imposing brunette was striking. Kath was like her old self and made Aubry feel comfortable in seconds. The were like old friends by the time they sat down and ordered drinks. A few minutes later the three young girls arrived. They were all decked out in their finest Glitter Twins outfits. The place wasn't full yet, but the people in the dining room all turned their heads to try to see who these beautiful, confident women were. If I hadn't just fucked two of them, I would have fallen out of my chair. Jody came around the table and hugged her mother. She introduced the other two and then excitedly said hello to Kath. Minnie stepped up and said hello and announced that she would be doing a K Miller underwear photos shoot when she got back to Minneapolis. Kath smiled at the girl and said she was a perfect representative for the young girl's lingerie line. Kath looked her up and down, taking in the young beauty. Jayne asked if it was the whole group. When we confirmed, she signaled Zeta to let her know to start the dinner. "It's a seven course tasting menu. We'll take our time so you can enjoy. We are matching wines with each course. You girls can have a sip if you care to try. I know none of you are driving. You aren't too young to learn the subtitles of good wine and how they compliment the different dishes." I think the young trio suddenly felt sophisticated. "I let Jody try a taste of what I'm drinking with dinner. She is developing an educated palette." "We're Italian. I've been drinking wine since I was a kid. I won't get drunk. I promise." "I drank too much once and puked." Poor little Rosie got a good laugh from the table. The girls joined the adult conversation when appropriate. They all asked questions about the menu and were able to give Zeta some solid comments about the food. Mostly they loved it. Ooohing and awing when each plate arrived. It was nearly three hours later bu the time we finished dessert. Tal was the organizer for the post dinner fun. "I think we should go into to town and make some trouble. I know a couple of bars that are always fun, even on Sunday night. If we get too wild we can head over to my loft and listen to some music and dance." Katherine and Jayne were all for it. It was clearly a girls night out. That meant I was left with the young gang. "You don't mind being left out do you Will? Those three trouble makers will be happy to torment you back at your evil lair." The three terrible copycats were all in agreement. "I'll make sure they get tucked in early. No more drinking for there outlaws. I'll get them back to town when you sober up. Rae gets back tonight, but after her retreat, she isn't going to be ready for all that girl power." It was agreed all around. Tal called for a ride and I loaded up the girls stuff and we took off. No need to make sure the adult women were ok. There was plenty of party experience in those four. "Katherine was totally cool. How long have you known Jayne. She awesome." I filled them in on the ride back. The moon was just coming up. I pulled over to at turnout some we could stop and look at the nearly full move as it slipped into view. "Can we swim when we get back to you place?" I assured Rose that was entirely possible.There was a small cheer from the back seat. No one asked about the sleeping situation so I didn't point out there was only one bed in the residence. "I didn't bring a suit, did you?" "There are suits in the shower room if you really need one. It's just us out here. I won't stare." Jody was the first to grasp the implications of what I was suggesting. "Skinny dipping party. Awright." I got everyone to grab a bathrobe from the cabana and herded them up to the residence to disrobe. I showed them Rikki's bathroom/dressing room and told them I'd meet them at the bottom of the stairs. It took them a while to make their entrance. I suspect there was some discussion about what was going on, or possible what had happened last night at the cabin. The were all smiles and grins as the bounded down the stairs. I showed them the private staircase down to the patio. I'd turned on the lights while they were undressing. It was a party atmosphere with all the lights in the trees and around the pool. Rosie was the first to drop her robe, but the others were right behind her. Jody asked if I was going to join them. I dropped my robe to confirm that I was. Minnie and Rosie just laughed and jumped in the pool. Jody just stood there, staring at me. She took a long slow look and then came over to me and grabbed my hand. I'd checked her out in return. Unlike the two pre-teens, Jody had the beginnings of a fantastic figure. She was a little taller than her mother. The same shape. I guessed her tits were the same size as her mother's and had already reached their adult size. Her big nipples stood out. She looked like a classic pin up model. "What they said appears to be true. Is the pool heated? With that she took a couple of strides and executed a perfect dive into the deep end. The other two applauded her graceful form. Then as if by magic, it was three young girls cavorting in the pool. Laughing, shouting, teasing, and ignoring me. That was fine. It had been a busy couple of days. Relaxing in the pool was what I needed. Once I'd warmed up, I decided to swim a few laps. I'd lost track of the number of laps when Jody caught me as I reached the near end of the pool. I had to stop and stand up to engage with the two hands that held me. Jody wasn't self conscious about being naked with a man she'd only just met. She was very pretty and the water dripping off her was a sensual sight. "This is an amazing place. Rose said it was huge. It's sort of hard to tell in the dark. You own everything from the stable to here, right. How much farther does it go? And all the way up the mountain. Rose and Minnie told me about the cabin and the lake and walking over the mountains. I thought my mom's place was pretty neat. This is like a dream.' She paused for a bit and then smiled, which turned into a sexy grin. "You had sex with both of them. They told me. I've never had sex with a guy. I've fooled around with my girlfriends when I was a kid, seven or eight. It feels so good being touched. I haven't met anyone Ihere could call a friend until yesterday. I've been here for two years. School is great, but I've just not connected with anyone. I dream of being friends with Michele and her band, but they are older and sort of scary. They are so different from the rest of us. Adi walks around like she's in a dream. It wouldn't seem right to bother her. She's magical. When she's with Lane and Michele, she is more down to earth. Funny thing is, they are all really so friendly and not stuck up. The are always helping out other kids, tutoring them and doing some of the dirty work around campus. It's hard to know how to approach them. Rose makes it sound like all you have to do is take off your clothes and you're in with them. Hahaha. Just being this close to them, I mean, they live right over there, well, it gives me hope they'll talk to me one day. We all dream that they'd want to be our friend. What do you think?" "Michele is just who she is. I can only understand a little of what goes on in her head. She comes to me and plays me a new song. I have know idea how she does that. For her, it's just what she does. But she's the same as you. She loves riding horses and hiking up in the hills. She treats the others as equals, but they know she's special. You'll get to meet her. Probably sooner than later." As it turned out, it was sooner. When the band got home, they had all decided to unwind and have a few friends over. Rosie talked to Lane and told her about Minnie and Jody. They were invited to the party. But that is not until Friday. Here on Sunday, there was the matter of three naked girls in the pool with me. One of them was holding my hand and talking about her sex life. Jody looked over at the two younger ones. They were making out. "Oh. That looks fun. I didn't have a good friend like that back in California. I was sort of dorky and awkward when I was living there. The other kids were all rich and cool. Mom said I'd grow up pretty, like a swan. I'm still not real confident around others. Rosie and Minnie are the first people I've met that I comfortable with. I guess we have at least one thing in common. I sort of think there is more, but we just met. Seems like we all know there is more there. They are only in sixth grade. Just little girls, but jeez, I'm looking forward to seeing Rosie at Franklin when school starts back. that will make it a lot more bearable." Jody pulled close to me and put her arms around my neck. Her pussy rubbed against my dick. "Oh. Sorry. I mean, I don't know. That felt good." She kissed me. "I don't know what to think. I'm not sure I'm ready for sex. It wasn't even an issue until right now. I'm with naked, handsome man and no one is watching. I guess you could do anything you wanted to me. You aren't going to do anything are you Will? I wishI was adventurous like those two. They said it was fun. Jody's curiosity got the best of her, and her hand reached down and her fingers wrapped around my half hard dick. "No, I'm not going force myself on you. Don't worry. It's not like that here. It has to be mutual and consensual. Not just runaway lust. Just relax. Continue touching me if you want. It's not going to lead to anything more if you don't want." Her fingers tightened a little then gently stroked me. I got harder in her hand. She gasped and giggled a little "My touch made that happen. It's the first one I ever touched. It's smooth. Um, would you get out of the water so I can see it. I could do more if I could see it." I pulled myself out of the pool and sat on the edge. My erection was right below her face. I heard Minnie say something. She had told Rosie to check out what Jody was doing. "She's a fast learner. From innocent school girl to sex machine in just a few short minutes. Let's watch." Jody looked at them and grinned. She placed both hands on me. One around the base, the other, her fingers circled around the tip of my cock. Her right hand fingers slipped down the length of my shaft. I shivered. She looked up at me wide eyed. She did it again. This time a small top of pre-cum oozed out. "That's the slippery stuff, use that to rub him." Sage advice from little Rosebud. Jody did as suggested and could see the advantage of lubrication. She stroked me again twice in rapid succession, then gave me a squeeze. A large bubble of cum erupted from my pee slit. "Lick it off. It tastes good. Go ahead, try it." Jody wasn't hesitant. She lowered her head, opened her lips and stuck her tongue out. She lapped up the cum like a cat licking cream. She opened her mouth wider and lowered her lips around the head of my dick and then tightened her lips. Then she pushed down more, taking a couple of inches in. Her tongue licked my shaft. Exploring the texture and shape. The other two whooped in approval. "You are now officially a cocksucker. Keep going. Will loves that." Jody looked up at me with a mouthful of meat. Her eyes brightened. I nodded. She took a deep breath and repeated the motion from tip down the shaft. This time she took in a little more. The next glob of clear cum escaped from me with a little pressure behind it. Jody gulped it down. "Rub me with your left hand while you do me with your mouth. Take your time." "Will, you better let her know when you are gonna shoot." Jody came off me all the way with her mouth, but kept stroking me. "He's going to shoot jizz in my mouth, isn't he. I'll be ready." She knew the much about the physiology of sex. I wonder if this was new information, or she's been surfing porn. She was past the stage of caution. She was in it for the money shot. when she went back down on me, it was with studied determination. Her head bobbing up and down and a gentle stay pace. Her fingers working me like a pro. I leaned back a littleI wanted to watch her reaction when I unloaded. I decided not to hold off too long. I didn't want her to get tired. "C'mon Glitter Sister, you're doing a great job. Just like that don't stop." I stroked the side of her head with one hand. Her short hair gave me a clear view of her face and mouth. "Swallow as much as you can. You don't have to take it all down. I think I'm going to cum. Now. Ready." The first load was a long single blast. Jody stayed with me and kept up and got it all down. I did my best to slow down the second blast. I was able to pause for a few seconds. The second load was three rapid jets. She moved back up a little but kept her lips tight around my rod. The third blast was a full on eruption. I groaned and thrust a little and let loose. Jody worked furiously to get it all down, but it finally became too much. She let loose of me and backed off. A cascade of cum poured from her mouth with a laugh. A fourth blast caught her in the face. Now it was the other girls laughing. Jody just moaned and tried to wipe her sticky face. I was then surprised. Once she had caught her breath, she went back down on my and licked me clean. Applying suction t o try to draw out the last drops. Her efforts earned her one more, smaller jet. My balls were drained. I reached down and grabbed her under her arms and pulled her up out of the pool. I doubt she weighed a hundred pounds. I brought her up to my face and kissed her, then set her down on the edge of the pool. She looked happy if not a little dazed. She was trying to lick off the excess cum with her long tongue. Ah, her secret weapon. "Did you think I would blow you? I wasn't sure until it was right in my face. I couldn't resist the offer. I may be a virgin dork, but I do know about some nasty things. The internet is the best education for a shy girl. How did I do for my first time ever?" "You did a fantastic job. As good as these two little imps I'd say." Rose and Minnie got out of the pool and sat next to us. "You should let him put his dick in you. That is the greatest." "I don't know, I don't want to get pregnant." "If that is your only concern, you don't have to worry. I've had a vasectomy. I can't make babies. This tool is just for pleasure." "Oh shit, now I'm on the spot. I still don't know. That was fun. Maybe I'd let you lick my pussy. I hear that girls love that." "Look. Let's get cleaned up and go back up to the residence. It's not too late yet." As we gout of the pool, Jody stepped to admire the cliff face. There were lights on at the townhouse entrance and along the top of the structure. She could see the lights on in the lounge room and a soft glow in the ballroom. "Wow. I can't wait to see this in the daytime." We had a quick shower and then scrambled up the back stairs to safety. The younger girls curled up on a couch together. They had a long couple of days here. Jody just wandered around checking everything out. She stood at the windows looking down at the lighted pool, patio and gardens. "Look. They nodded out. The horsey rides must have tired them out." I got a comforter and covered them up. "Come upstairs with me. We can discuss that pussy licking you were wondering about." That was very forward and there were no hidden meanings. "Sure thing boss." We bounced up the stairs hand in hand. Jody paused at the landing and took another look back down at the lounge room. "This is just amazing. It's like what you see in a movie." We passed through the big doorway at the top of the stairs and talked down the hall to the master suit. Jody again paused to check out the art on the walls. "This is real stuff, not prints. Picasso! Holy shit." The lights in the bedroom were on low. Very seductive. Jody was still wrapped in a big terrycloth robe. "Let's have a look in the closet. Maybe you can find something sexy to put on. What do you think?" Rikki would he a little bigger than Jody, but a slip or a pair of panties might fight ok. Maybe both. The light came on in the walk-in when the door opened. "Here look in these drawers. Rikki has lots of sexy things. Do you ever dressing your mothers lingerie? Your mom is very sexy. You know that, don't you? You are too." Jody looked at the drawers full of neatly folder silk garments. I recognized a pair I liked and offered them to her. They were sheer across the front with silk side panels and back. "Pin up panties. Oooh yes. Can I?" The robe slipped off, onto the floor and she carefully stepped into the very exotic and expensive panties. She turned to the mirror to admire her sexy new look. "You can see everything. How naughty. The fit pretty well too. Just a little big, but not too much. How about you. I hear you look good in panties. Let me find something for you." Jody looked around carefully. Trying not to muss the neat rows of panties, bras, slips and more. "These ones, they are your color." Thank meant they were small and sheer pink. I dropped my robe and put them on. I fely particularly sext being dressed by a thirteen year old virgin. With out a word we headed back into the bedroom and slipped onto the bed, side by side. Jody turned the conversation away from the obvious topic, sex. She wanted to talk about herself and her mother. She stopped after a minute and asked if I'd lock the door. "I don't know what's going to happen, I just want it to be private and special. It was one thing to give you a blow job with an audience, but now it's my private time." "Mom was the best looking surfer girl in high school. Was was really good too. She got written up in all the surf mags. When she was seventeen she eloped with the dirtbag king of the beach. He was handsome and a great surfer. As soon as she got married, she realized he was a beach bum and had no intention of ever working for a living. She had the marriage annulled a few weeks later. My grandparents were nice to her and never said anything about it. Just a life lesson. She was smart too and went to college to become an accountant. Pretty square for a surfer girl, but she is good with numbers. She's like a computer. She met a guy when she started working. He owned a successful accounting firm and he was a surfer too. They got married and I'm the only good thing that came of that union. My father, Zal fell in with some guys who loved cocaine. He got into it. Just a little at first, but then serious. Smoking crack. Then he got into smack to try to come down. He ruined his business in a few months. I was just a year old. I don't really remember him. He just fell into that drug hell. Mom rightfully left him. Rather, she kicked him out. He just got worse. I guess he got busted. When he got out of jail, he od'd. They found him on the beach. His friends just left him their to rot in the sun." Jody didn't seem to have much emotional connection to her father. "Mom was strong and got her own business together. She does payroll and accounting for businesses. Moving here was perfect for her. No one knew her past and the work and money here was too good to pass up. We've been here two years now. Mom is sort of driven. She great. Takes good care of me and herself. She's just wary of dating again. She hangs out a little with Tal for some affection. She looked happier than I've ever seen her tonight. Lucky to meet up at the record shop. For me too. Now I have some real friends. Soul sisters." "Um, that was fun giving you a blowjob. I've imagined what it might be like. It was even better than I expected. When I was seven or eight, I had a friend Adora. Her parents were hippies. They lived in a little cabin back up in the hills. Her parents were usually naked or nearly. Adora too. It didn't seem weird or anything. Living at the beach, people are nearly naked anyway. I was so curious about her father's penis. It was big and just hung there. I didn't find him attractive or anything. I'd just never seen a naked man before. Adora was the one who taught me about licking pussy. I'd figured out that my pussy could make me feel good. I didn't have a name for what I was doing. Just "that feeling". Getting licked was even better. I liked licking her too. It made me feel good. Now when I masturbate, it feels even better. I can feel it on the inside, jjust that warm feeling. I guess I'm asking if you'll lick me. That is probably all I can promise to do with you tonight." I kissed Jody and she kissed me back. It got intense very quickly. I had to touch those beautiful tits. Her nips were hard and she sighed when I rubbed them. Her hands cautiously explored my body. "Would it be ok if I pull your panties down and see if I can pleasure your pussy?" "Please, I'm about to go crazy waiting to find out." I kissed my way down her body starting at her lips. I stopped and spent ample time on her dainty, pointy tits. I'm still still convinced that they had reached their full size. Genetics says this is as big as they would get. Perfect. It's a safe guess I'm the first one to suck on these pointy treats. Her response was as expected. Her breathing became rapid and deep. Satisfied that she was on board with my seduction, I moved down to her belly. If was firm and flat. Her torso tapered and then flared out at her low slung hips. This was all excellent. "Just licking. Promise?" "Yes dear, I promise. You can trust my word." Her blond pubic patch was soft. She still had a young girl bush. It hadn't spread too far yet. The hairs were long and soft like the hair on her head. I sniffed. A little pungent. She hadn't showered after the horse ride. Instinctively she tried to cover her cunt, but quickly relaxed and put her hands on her thighs and spread for me. That was clearly an affirmative invitation. In I went. She did had a tangy flavor. Not the sophisticated taste of an adult woman. She had some idea what to expect having experimented with you friend. I'm sure she wasn't ready for an educated man to work all the subtleties of sharing pleasure. Her seven year old hippie friend couldn't have known the intricacies of the female anatomy. Just rub with your tongue. Jody was mature enough to have a fully developed cunt. Her clit was big enough that I could get my lips around it. Her labia were swollen from the stimulation. Her vulva parted when I drew the tip of my tongue through it. Jody didn't say anything. Not words anyway. She squealed, moaned and shimmered. It was clear when I was hitting the right spots for her. I could feel her legs tensing and shaking. Her hands landed on the top of my head. At first she just gently stroked my hair. Then in an uncontrolled moment she smashed me into her cunt. The meaning was perfectly clear. I continued, alternating between aggressive and gentle. This gave her plenty on time to build to to her orgasm. Then she growled and wrapped her soft strong legs around my head and bucked against my mouth. A flood juice was the precursor to the the final moment. It arrived soon after the gush. There was a mighty, deep moan, than a shout, that was nearly a scream. I was afraid it would frighten the two downstairs on the couch. I got four or five more good licks before she pushed me off. "Stop, you have to stop. It's too much now." I did't want to spoil her first experience with a man, so I backed away and let her bask in the afterglow of the moment. It was fully ten minutes before she stirred. "Fuck. I've never cum like that, and lord knows I've worked on it very hard. I went all through my body. From my toes to my head." Her hair was sopping wet. She looked like a drowned puppy. I kissed her. "Is that what I taste like? It's a stronger flavor than I've tasted before. These days with my period starting, I never know what to expect will come out of me. That is good. Not like my friend at all. I must reconsider the idea of lesbian sex. I've been so intent on sex with a guy, I've pushed that thought out of my head. Seems like everyone here is doing each other. I need to get with the program." We laid together for a while. She had some questions. Would I want to sleep with her again? Did I want to fuck her? What was it like to have sex with those pre-teens girls? Did I think she was sexy? Before she could go further, we heard a shout in the hallway. "Where the fuck is everybody?" Someone tried to open the door. That was followed by the sound of a small fist pounding on the door. I had hoped the residence was a little more soundproof than that. Rose did have a set of lungs. Jody got up to let them in. She was stark naked, and looking awfully hot. "Hey fuckers, we aren't gonna sleep on the couch when there is plenty of room on the bed for us." Minnie was right behind her, wrapped in the blanket. I swear she was sucking her thumb. She was only half awake. "Did you give in and let him put his dick in your pussy? What? No? What are you saving it for? A prince?" "Shut up you little brat."" Jody politely told Rose to mind her own business. Then she explained she was going slowly. One step at a time. "I'm not easy like you two little floozies. Now get in and don't kick." The two little ones climbed on the bed. Minnie on Jody's side, Rose next to me. The promptly fell asleep. Jody laughed and wrapped her arms around me and nodded off. My phone started buzzing early. First message was from Rikki saying they were headed to the airport after a successful weekend. Next it was Kath saying her and Jayne had crashed at the downtown apartment. She wondered what the plan was. The third one was from Tal. Aubry had spent the night at her loft. Aubry was worried that you might not want the girls there any longer than they necessary. I sent a group message saying I'd have coffee and breakfast here. I gave them an hour to get organized. Tal said she'd drive them all over. I got up and got cleaned up and dressed. Jody had got up when I was in the shower. The two little ones were just stirring when I came out with just a towel, drying my hair. Rose had to pry Minnie off the pillow. That girl was a sleeper. "Wake up Minnie, he's naked again. Maybe he'll do us one more time. That was followed by a impish laugh. "No, I'm sorry. I don't have the time to properly pleasure the two of you right now. Everyone is headed back here. I'm going to make some breakfast. You can use my bathroom. Jody is in the other one. "I'm done. Girls can use this shower. I'm sure it's nicer than Will's. You need help with breakfast? I'm a fabulous chef. Been taking care of me and mom for years." We both got dressed and I led her down to the kitchen. She rummaged around and said she had it under control. I went back up to check on the jailbait. They were half dressed, "C'mon, put your pants on and follow me." The two little ones stumbled down the stairs. Shit, that Minnie was just wiped out. Rose pointed out she had her tee shirt on backwards. "Do you have any hot chocolate? I showed Rose the fixings and she took care of her friend. They offered to help Jody, so I just made a cappuccino and checked the headlines. I had told the wild grown ups to meet in the dining room. They just barged into the kitchen and started making espresso drinks and slowly coming back to life. They all looked well sexed. Only Jayne looked perky. The cowgirl in her was taking over. The adult women were in a playful mood. Aubry and Kath were comparing notes about their own tumbles in bed. "...we'll trade partners next time. You and Jayne would be quite the pair. She's a foot taller then you." "Mom, don't talk like that in front of the children." "Did my virgin princess finally give it up to our kind host?" Aubry could tell by Jody's body language she didn't want to discuss it. "I'm sorry. I just don't know what you are waiting for. I was twelve the first time I had sex. I don't even remember his name. I just wanted to get it over with. After that, I really enjoyed it. I still do. Maybe a night with a girl is something you should try." "I thought about that mom. It seems like the thing to do here. And they are all so beautiful." She looked around the room at the other women. "Michele said there is going to be a party here on Saturday, and you are all invited. She just said to tell you to dress up. It's also a photo shoot for the band. It is only for special friends. So I guess you are all special." "Will, your friends here showed me a good time in Green River. I just realized I work too hard. Must correct that. Thanks for introducing me to these lovely ladies. It was like I was 18 again. Look at my beautiful daughter. She knows here way around the kitchen. And what a kitchen this is. I though I had a nice one, not that I ever cook. This is a working galley. Damn." Jayne, then Kath came over and gave me a hug and a kiss. "We have you to ourselves for a little more before that evil Rikki returns and reclaims you." "Where'd you go last night." "Every bar in town I'm afraid. That sad boy went home with a black eye and a fat lip. He was just annoying. And drunk. Then we went to your club. The Commons. That was pretty fuckin' classy. Jayne said maybe I should ask you for an invitation for a membership." They retold the story of the drunk getting decked. It was Aubry who landed the punch. The drunk got fresh with here and she nailed him. I guess he went down fast and hard. The bartender hauled him out to the street where a cop took him to the ER to get stitches. No charges were pressed. Jody grabbed me and told me she needed help. The food was almost ready. Rose was tasked to put juice on the table. Jayne jumped in and helped plate the food and take the it out to the guests. The conversation around the table was lively and mostly just fragments. When we were done, Aubry excused herself. She said she did need to check in at her office. She offered to deliver Rose and Minnie back to Rae's place. Tal and Jayne were in no hurry to be anywhere. They helped clean up. Kath just looked content. She stood around the kitchen but didn't dip her hands into the dishwashing Tal eventually offered Jayne a ride to where ever she needed to be. That just left Kath at the table...... The family takes a break from the activities to get back to what brought them together in the first place. Sex Chapter 30 coming soon
