Ch. 10: The Garden of Opportunity
Inspired by Honore L'Oeuf's novels, Alice tried interesting her friends with sexual adventures and invited a few to her home. Most of them were girls like Alice, but one or two were boys. Alice and her friends played in the garden, their clothes discarded, just hidden from sight by the undergrowth. They read aloud chapters from the Honore L'Oeuf omnibus and when properly aroused, they started playing with each other. They made very little distinction between whom they chose to play with and indeed the two young men were most interested in each other's little penises.
"O Tiger-Lilly!" gasped Alice, removing her tongue from her friend's bare vagina, "I wish you had a prick!"
"But I do!" said Tiger-Lilly. "Put your tongue further up and feel it. Then you'll see."
Alice did so, and felt Tiger-Lilly's clitoris. "It's very hard," she said: "but it's not the same thing."
"She's coming!" Said Larkspur talking about Rose whom she was stimulating with her finger. "Hear her gasps. Aaaahh! Aaaahh! Aaaahh!"
Alice looked round eagerly to see Rose gasping, the smooth skin of her chest pouring sweat as her buttocks trembled with excitement, and then saw Kedi looking at them playing from a distance away. As usual, she was wearing no clothes and had a frown on her face.
"I think I'll go and meet her," said Alice, for, though her friends were interesting enough, she felt that it would be far more satisfying to spend time with Kedi.
"You can't possibly do that," said Rose: "She'd tell you off."
This sounded nonsense to Alice as she knew Kedi so well, so she walked up to Kedi, who indeed did not seem as happy as usual.
"You really oughtn't encourage your friends like that," said Kedi firmly. "What do you think their parents will think?"
Alice wondered a little at this, but she was too much in love with Kedi to argue. "I hadn't thought," she apologised.
"In Brook this sort of thing is perfectly all right, but here you must be more sensible," explained Kedi. "In different places there are different rules of behaviour. In some countries only anal sex is allowed and other forms of sexual intercourse are frowned on. In some countries, people are only allowed to make love with people of the same sex and never with people of other sexes."
"Why is that?" wondered Alice.
"In every place there may be a good reason," explained Kedi indulgently, "but mostly it is just custom. Here it is not the custom for friends to make love together in the garden. It is thought indecent and if your friends tell their parents of what they have been doing their mothers and fathers will be very cross."
"What is it like in your country?"
"In my country, clothes are disapproved of. They are considered as merely ways of hiding oneself from others. They are thought of as a kind of deceit. It is also believed that they are an unnecessary luxury in a warm country which merely displays a disreputable ostentatiousness. In my country, people are proud of their bodies and are not ashamed of how they change as they get older."
"Is it like that in Brook?"
