The Club - Ch. 7
As the three started the drive back, Liz suggested that they make a list of items they still wanted to get and things that they wanted to do before the initiation.
"We need to go to a hardware store and get some more rope and some harness snaps," Barb said, adding them to the list. "Oh, yes. And fishing weights."
"And if we want to build some stuff, we need some vinyl and padding as well as lumber," Janet added.
"And," Barb said, "if we want to make some of those kilts Susan mentioned, we need some leather. You said you could sew them, right Liz?"
"Yeah, they shouldn't be any problem. Let me fit them to you two and I can make them Thursday night when you two go up to the farm to build stuff."
"Oh, and what about the 'parachutes' Susan described?" Janet asked. "We'll need some soft leather for those, too." Susan had shown them a device called a parachute which was a sort of leather bag with a drawstring top. It was designed to fit around a man's testicles and pull tight enough that weights could be hung from it. Susan had said even as much as a few pounds. She had suggested that they could make their own from some of the soft chamois leather used to dry cars after washing them. Or from some other soft leather or material.
"And I want to get a couple of riding crops," Liz said. The other two agreed. Once again Susan had suggested they could save some money by buying these at a riding supply shop instead of her store. "I remember seeing a tack shop in that little town we passed through about thirty miles this side of the campus. Let's try there."
They continued, adding feathers and candles and a few other items. Then they began to discuss plans for what they could do with the men during their initiation.
When they neared the town Liz had mentioned, they began to watch for the riding shop and saw it in time to pull into the lot. All three went inside and looked around. There was a huge selection of crops and the three looked over the different types deciding which they wanted. The clerk, a man in his early thirties, came over to them. "Could I help you find something?"
"We're looking for some riding crops," Barb answered before she could even stop to think about it.
"Well, we have a wide selection," the clerk said. "Maybe I could help you choose if you tell me what type of riding you do."
The three girls froze. None of them did any riding to speak of and they had no idea what to say. Liz was the first to regain her wits and said, "Oh, it's not really for riding." The clerk gave her a look that could have been either confused or knowing. Liz went rapidly on, making it up as she went. "We're looking for props for a play. One of the clubs at school has written it. The three of us are supposed to be Russian czarists generals, so we're looking for crops that will slap well against a boot. Or maybe put a few unruly peasants in their place."
She laughed and the others joined her. In a few minutes they had selected three models ranging from short to over a meter in length. After they had paid and gone back out to the car, Barb said, "That was quick thinking, Liz. I'm glad we didn't have to explain what they're really for."
"That makes two of us," Liz said. Then she added, "But from the look on his face, I think he just might have guessed anyway."
When they got back to town they made the rounds of hardware and other stores to purchase the items on their list. They had everything but the lumber which Janet said she and Barb could pick up in the small town near the farm.
That night Barb and Janet went over to Liz's place where she had rough cut the soft leather for their kilts. "I'll just need to fit these for each of you," Liz said. "We want them to really cling, so I'd better fit them they way we're going to wear them. Go ahead and strip down."
Barb and Janet stood naked while Liz fitted and marked each of the small garments. When she had finished she stood up and began to remove her own clothes. "Now you can help me fit mine." Barb held the strip of leather in place while Janet marked it as Liz told her.
As they were finishing up the measurements, Liz said, "You know, I've been thinking about Susan. In particular about how she had shaved her pubes completely bare. I asked her about it and she said it made things seem a lot sexier. Especially when Bill went down on her. I think I'm going to do it, too. What about you two? Want to really surprise the guys?"
