After Cool had made his declaration, Rita, Camille and Ming scrambled off to the kitchen to make plans for the requested dinner the following evening. Bobby Sue went to her room to change out of her jeans and put on a pair of shorts and a tank top. Cool disappeared into his study, closing the door, which meant 'Leave me the fuck alone until further notice.'
"What's eating at him tonight?" Ming asked the others.
"Let me explain," Camille began. "Virgil lets his feelings for certain people go mighty deep. My mama and Cool had a bond that could only be broken one way and that was for one of them to die. Mama died and Cool has grieved ever since. He also loved his daddy and was with him on the boat when he went. He's been wearing that on his shoulder ever since. He was also madly in love with Marie Stone, in his own way, and he's got a big hole in his heart now that she has passed away."
I think," she continued, "that he needs to vent his frustrations and we all know how he gets his mind off things."
"Right," Rita chimed in, "he fucks himself stupid. I'm glad he doesn't drink his troubles away, we'd be mighty horny around here."
"We had better check the guest list," Camille added. "We'll need to have as many of the clan here as we can muster."
"Hand me the phone," Rita said, extending her hand toward Ming who was standing nearest to it.
Rita dialed a long distance number and waited patiently for an answer.
"'Lo," a voice came over the speakerphone.
"Is that you Caroline?" Rita asked the voice.
"Aunt Rita," the voice squealed.
"It's me, Darlin', how are you?" Rita asked.
Caroline went into a long recitation on how groovy New York was and how she was enjoying helping Dianne with the business.
"Is Dianne there, Honey?" Rita asked, after several minutes.
"Hold on a sec," Caroline said and plunked the phone down.
"Rita, Lover, how are you?" Dianne came on the line.
"I'm alive and well in Florida, Sweetie," Rita gushed. "Dinner tomorrow, in the big room, 7:30 in the evening. Appropriate dress has been requested."
"Call Lisa Holiday and send the jet, we'll be ready to travel and waiting at the airport by seven in the morning," Dianne replied, without hesitation. "Is Virgil all right?"
"He's fine," Rita answered. "I think we're about over our depression. I thought we were in for a time with him since Marie went but it looks like we're going to War."
"Oh, boy!" Dianne exclaimed. "I'll bring some of the new leather goodies for y'all. We haven't had a family session in The War Room since before daddy died. Make sure you get in touch with the Blossom's and Dennis Ryan."
"You got it, Honey," Rita said. Then she asked quietly, "When are you coming home for good, Baby?"
"Caroline and I will have things all tidied up here within three or four months," she instructed. "Then we're coming back to Islands Estates to live."
"Thank God for that," Camille said. "He misses you two bad."
"We know," Dianne whispered. "See you tomorrow around noon."
Rita hung up the phone and then picked it up again and dialed Lisa Holiday, in St Augustine. She quickly explained the situation.
"Set me a plate at the table for dinner too," Lisa added, breaking the connection to call the airfield and make arrangements for the jet to be ready to fly out at 2:00 A.M.
Camille reached for the phone and dialed Helen Blossom and briefed her on the forthcoming events. Helen's reaction was instantaneous and positive. She agreed to contact Karen and see to it that she was in residence the next evening. Rita called Sandra to alert her and Billy. Then she dialed Dennis' number and got a disconnected message. Everybody in the room was quiet.
"Where do you suppose the singer is at?" Ming asked.
Bobby grabbed the phone and dialed Gerald and Susan's number.
"Hello," Susan came on the line.
"Aunt Susie," Bobby Sue asked, "Where's Uncle Dennis?"
"He called from Valdosta about an hour ago and said he'll be here around ten tonight," she answered. "Why?"
"Well, daddy's called for a family meeting tomorrow night," Bobby Sue explained. "And I called Dennis' number and it was disconnected."
"He's coming home," Susan replied. "He's really bummed out about Marie."
"So is daddy," Bobby said. "But he wants to have this big dinner and go in The War Room."
"Proper dress?" Susan asked.
"I guess so," Bobby answered.
"I'll tell Dennis as soon as he gets here," Susan said and hung up.
"Aunt Camille," Bobby Sue asked, "what's all this about proper dress for dinner?"
"Well," Camille explained, "years ago, when Grandpa Virg was master of this old house, he would summon the family to dress appropriately for dinner, and games afterwards in The war Room. What that meant was for all of the women, no matter how many were invited to the dinner, to wear sexy clothing to the table. This could be either leather or lace, depending on what the lady was in the mood for. Leather meaning a bit of torture, and lacy lingerie meant she was interested in more a provocative activity. The men would also wear want ever type of get-up indicating the mood he was in."
"Geez, that sounds kind of bizarre, to me," Bobby Sue interrupted.
"Yes, Sweetheart, it gets extremely interesting." Rita said. "You don't have to play if you don't want to. But I think you're old enough to enjoy whatever happens tomorrow."
"Ten of us took Cool in there, one night," Camille said, smiling broadly, "right before the wedding. We blindfolded him and made him guess which one of us was sucking on his big dick. He only missed one because we sent her back a second time. He ended up cumming in Rita's pussy. Of course, we had all agreed that she was the only one allowed to fuck him, on account of it was the night before their wedding."
Bobby Sue's eyes were wide with wonderment. Her mother and aunt were sitting there talking about some of the most fantastic sexy things she could imagine.
"What about the other guys that will be there?" Bobby asked.
"All's fair in there," Camille stated. "Play if you want to. Stay out if you don't."
"I was terrified the first time," Rita chimed in. "But once things get started, you get so turned on that you just have to get into it. It could last for a couple of days."
The conversation lasted for almost an hour before Camille excused herself to have a hot bath. Rita indicated that she would join her in a minute. She hugged her twenty-year-old daughter and assured her it would be a gas.
As soon as Camille and Rita left the room, Ming fished a cigarette from her pack on the table and sucked smoke deep into her lungs. Bobby Sue reached for the cigarette and took a drag and handed it back to the Chinese girl.
"I didn't know that you smoked," Ming said.
"Only when I'm excited or really bummed out," Bobby Sue explained. Right now, I'm wired for sound."
"Me to, Honey," Ming agreed, touching the younger girl tenderly on the cheek.
