I dedicated the last weeks of our probation period to perfecting my body. I worked out diligently twice a day and made sure everything I ingested into my body was healthy. I performed my Kegels Sometimes I would do extra work at home or go for a run.
Mercy and I grew closer and closer. We cuddled and kissed all the time. We admired how great our own bodies looked as well as each others. Our sex life was better than it was when we first met, because we were horny all the time but we also knew what we were doing. It was fantastic. We fell in love all over again.
We had our body check on a Wednesday night at the end of the six months. It was a formality and we passed easily. Tanya and Todd congratulated us. We had each already arranged to take the next week off of work. They told us to go out and celebrate and that Cindy and Dave would drop by on Thursday evening.
When we saw Cindy and Dave drive up Mercy and I were both at the door waiting for them. We were excited like little kids waiting for Santa Claus. They came up the sidewalk and into our house, each carrying a shopping bag that they gave to us.
"These are your clothes to wear tomorrow. We will be here at 8am to pick you up. Do not pack anything else. Everything will be provided for you. You both probably have many questions. Don't ask them. We will have someone take care of your house. Everything has been taken care of. You just need to relax and go with the flow for the next nine days. I guarantee it will take your mind off of everything else.
"We will see you in the morning."
After they left we looked in the bags. We both had comfortable casual outfits andcomfortable black thongs. Mercy had a cut down black sports bra. They had even supplied us with comfortable shoes.
We were excited and had trouble sleeping. After a while I jumped on her. We fucked our excess energy away and melted into a delicious sleep.
When the alarm went off in the morning it only took a moment for us to remember what was about to happen and then the adrenalin kicked in. We were showered, dressed, and ready by 7:45.
Cindy and Dave drove up right at 8. We got in to the back of their car and they took us to the airport and dropped us off.
"You are all checked in. Go to Gate C-8. We will have someone there to help you with anything you might need."
We said goodbye and made our way through security and down to the gate. Todd was there to greet us. He didn't say how he got through security without a boarding pass and we knew better than to ask. I assumed he probably worked for an airline or the FAA. He didn't say much to us, just sat with us until it was time to board the airplane.
It was a direct flight to Nassau.
"We will have someone down there to meet you. They will have a sign for your benefit but they should recognize you. It will be someone you haven't met before. Good luck and have fun."
We found ourselves in first class. We were brought breakfast and champagne without ordering it. We smiled and toasted each other and settled in for the flight.
We got off the plane quickly since we didn't have any luggage, even carry-on. We proceeded to ground transportation as Todd had instructed. I felt like we were being escorted but couldn't be sure. As soon as we exited the secure area we saw a man who could have passed for a Secret Service Agent wearing sunglasses and holding a sign that said 'Mercy and Rich.' He introduced himself as James before we could say anything and escorted us outside and into a waiting limo.
James offered us a drink and we took him up on it. Mercy had more champagne and I ordered a bourbon on the rocks. After he handed us our drinks and let us have a sip he spoke up.
"I am going to need to blindfold you now. It's part of our security."
James slipped sippy lids over our stemware. The blindfold was comfortable, the ride was smooth, and I had my drink in a secure holder next to me. I started feeling a little tired after that and remembered I hadn't slept much the previous night as I drifted into a deep sleep. I woke up part way at one point and was aware of being in what seemed like a small airplane and then I was dreaming again – or was that part of the dream?
When I next awoke I instinctively removed my blindfold. We we were in a limo. As I started to move I felt Mercy move her head from my shoulders and lift off her blindfold also.
"Where are we?"
Before I could say I had no idea James spoke up.
"We will be arriving in 15 minutes. You may take your blindfolds off now. Would you like anything else before we arrive?
My head was a little foggy but when Mercy asked for another champagne I decided to join her. We clinked glasses.
"To our new adventure."
We turned into a long driveway and saw a huge mansion up ahead similar to the one you see all the time in the BBC miniseries. As we approached the entrance the front door opened and a man and a woman came out and made there way down to the car. They opened our respective doors and welcomed us to the Couples Mansion. The man introduced himself as Jack and the woman introduced herself to Mercy as Jill. They each indicated we should follow them. We went together through the main entrance.
"You might want to kiss now because you won't see each other for a little while."
We shared a deep kiss and then split up.
Once we were out of ear shot of the women Jack spoke up.
"Welcome to training week. This is all part of the Couples Club. You will be our guests through next weekend. You will be receiving training in several areas, concentrating in skills your sponsors perceived you most needed. Some of the things you will be put through or asked to do will seem very 'unusual'. My best advice is to expect anything and go with the flow.
"I know you weren't in the military, but this is just like basic training. Everyone here is above you and you are to do whatever you are ordered to do at all times while you are here. Do not speak unless spoken to. There will be times when you will have many questions or even be afraid. Most of those questions will be answered at the time. You must be patient and trust us.
"For this week you belong to us. Remember that and you will be off to an adventure beyond your wildest dreams. For the remainder of the week you will be referred to as 'R'."
He stopped at a door and knocked. He slipped a blindfold over my head and guided me inside the room when the door opened.
"Greetings R. Relax and let us take care of you."
It was an order. I almost opened my mouth to ask what was going to happen but caught myself. I decided then to change my whole outlook. For this week I was someone else named R and I would do whatever was asked of me and do my best.
