When we checked in we each received an invitation to a private gathering to meet each other at 6 pm in a private lounge. The lounge was very private, with indirect soft lighting, many soft chairs and a few couches, and low tables. Plants were strategically placed to break up the room, providing areas of semi-privacy. Along one wall was a fantastic salt water aquarium holding a rainbow of tropical fish swimming among live coral. Soft island music was playing in the background and all along the far wall a buffet of various finger foods, nibbles of chicken, fish and beef, hot and cold vegetables, assorted sushi rolls, and bite-sized sweets. Another long table is set up as a bar, with wines and beer, liquors and soda.
Im_invisible69 walked through the frosted glass door into this lagoon of relaxation and looked around. He didn't expect to be the first one there yet it seemed he was. Then he spied a new face reclining in a chair behind a particularly bushy plant. He approached the attractive young lady introducing himself.
"Hello, I expect you are part of the literotica group. I am im_invisible69 on-line, though you can call me Vis, if you want." He said.
"Nice to meet you Vis, I'm Rydia57, though please -- just Rydia. Sit down."
Vis sank into the chair adjacent to Rydia enjoying the sound of her voice, a purr in the quiet room. They waited through an awkward moment of wondering what to say next. The tension was enjoyable, a reminder that this entire trip blended the playful fantasy of the Lit world with the surrealistically tropical, lush world of Hawaii.
Their attention shifted to the door, which opened to admit a small laughing crowd, two women and a man, into their dimly lit space. One of the women was immediately recognizable, the incredibly erotic woman behind this tryst, Hallowed Eve. She was accompanied by a young man, her playful "brother" TheCaptain and her "aunt" SaucyMinx. Vis stood up, offered his newly met partner a hand up out of the soft chair.
"Hi I'm Vis and this is Rydia." Vis said to the group.
"Finally" Eve blurted as she sprang forward and wrapped Rydia in a big embrace, punctuated with a kiss.
Vis shook hands with TheCaptain, and then to Minx, who had hugged a hello to Rydia. The door opened again revealing two women arm-in-arm followed by five others. The room started buzzing as people introduced themselves to the others. The female couple was lipsofanangel and Talimenios, then there was Carnevil9, OneLustyWench, Dunchad, Salvor-Hardon and Texguy84. Just after the door snicked shut it opened again as SEVERUSMAX and Sean Renaud entered one right after another.
Eve, Angel and Minx, the party people in the group, flitted about introducing the guests to one another, and keeping the laughter and chatter lively. These were all people who had previously only met through the screen of the internet, now all face to face. Soon the drinks and laughter did their work, and these people, some might say strangers, were soon hugging one another with warmth and smiles, and a few playful smacks and gropes.
Each knot of conversation quickly proceeded to stories of their travels, their arrival on the island. Capt and Eve entertained everyone with their story of the looks they received from the desk clerk during their teasing check-in. They played it up, reenacting the entire event amid many laughs and promises to find new and innovative ways to tease the same clerk. Each idea was more risqué than the next.
As a group everyone went over toward the food and drink. Sean became the defacto bar tender and the food and drinks flowed faster. People began breaking up into smaller, tighter knots to eat, and the excited buzz of voices mellowed into a hum. Looking around the crowd Vis found it interesting that each group was centered on the ladies. He didn't feel like breaking into any of the groups so instead sat down on a secluded couch alone watching the interplay of the others.
He watched Eve move from her "brother" Capt, over to sit with Tex, and "Aunt" Minx got up to get another drink from Sean. Capt took that opportunity to get more food and something else to drink. Vis enjoyed watching Max and Carnevil compete over Rydia's attention, though at times it seemed that she was looking over at Dunchad with a bit of hunger in her eyes. Dunchad was in a lively discussion with Wenchie and Salvor. Vis was completely taken by surprise when Angel and Tali snuck up behind him and sandwiched him between them.
"I hope you don't mind us joining you." Tali said with an interesting gleam in her eye.
"There's something familiar about him don't you think Tali." Angel said slyly across Vis.
Vis felt his ears getting red as his mind wandered back to Angel and Tali's water play earlier. Tali laughed as she grabbed a branch from the plant next to her and held it in front of Vis.
"Oh, yea, now I see it. He definitely looks familiar. I don't think he enjoyed himself nearly as much as we did though, Angel. What do you think?" Tali asked.
"I agree. I kept hoping he'd jump in with us. I guess we'll have to be more direct this time, don't you?" Angel purred, putting her hand on Vis' thigh.
Tali kissed and nibbled Vis' ear lobe laying her hand opposite Angel's on his lap.
