Part 8.
Mandy's butt was still on fire, but it was a good hurt. She opened her eyes to find herself entangled in a mass of bodies. The bed wasn't crowded, but it was full. She shifted to the side, discovering her pillow was in fact William's thigh. Under his arms were Beth and his niece, Rebekka. Her own lover, Sandra, was entwined with the ebony-hued Jerome, feet tangled with hers. She extracted herself, eliciting some groans. Soft steps to the hidden bathroom, then off to the pool to try and cool her buns.
The water soothed the welts on her bottom. Rebekka charged into the clearing, yelling "Cannonball!" The scream after she hit was a satisfying payoff; she'd forgotten about her welts in her enthusiasm. Mandy wrapped her up in a hug, giving quick kisses to try and stop the tears. The others filtered into the clearing; Jerome was carrying a tray. William spread a blanket out in the open; Beth threw a half dozen soft pillows on it. Jerome set the tray in the center of the blanket, then jumped in the water. Sandra came into the clearing, weaving seven orchids into a necklace. She slid into the water softly.
"Here you go, lover." As she slipped the orchid necklace over Mandy's head the other two closed in. Fingers traced the still throbbing welts; other fingers probed her sex, making blood rush to her face. Sandra was kissing her softly; Rebekka and Jerome were playing her body like a musical instrument.
William reappeared, drying his hair with a towel, once more in his slacks and shirt. Beth was behind him, dripping wet, and slid into the water again, laughing. "Anyone need help here?" Beth's giggles played over the water as she attacked the group with tickling fingers. The mass splashed and fought, laughing like little kids. William watched, sipping at his tea and thinking.
Towels were grabbed, bodies dried cooperatively. The others joined William for breakfast; fruit, bagels, and coffee. Mandy saw and ignored the envelope waiting for her. If I don't open it⦠she looked at Sandra, who was waiting, flushed and anxious. Mandy's head dropped, and she reached for the envelope.
"On the eighth day of Christmas, my lover gave to me, Eight minstrels playing, and an orgasm from her tongue. -S."
Inside the envelope were a pair of tickets to Mandy's favorite rock band, with a great opening set. Mandy giggled and bounced like a schoolgirl, hugging Sandra. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou." The words rolled together. William produced a pair of identification lanyards from a pocket, emblazoned with "All Access."
"I think you two will need these." The pair leapt on him, smothering him with kisses.
"Where did you get those?" Rebekka was shocked, "I couldn't get those β I have a dozen people trying." She pouted. Jerome started laughing, slipping an identical lanyard over her head. "What, howβ¦?" Rebekka was sputtering, unable to put words together.
William stood, regaining his dignity, and held a hand out to Beth. "Beautiful, I want a night for us. Jerome and Rebekka will provide a ride to the terrible twosome this evening." Beth started shaking, her tongue circling her lips. "I bid you four farewell; we shall meet again." He held Beth's coat for her, then strode from the greenhouse. Beth was leaning against his arm, looking up with adoring eyes. He carried her out the door, to the big SUV, leaving the four in the greenhouse.
