6. The Honeymoon
Tascha punched Don in the shoulder. "Ha! I knew it!" she laughed. "I knew you two were into each other!"
"First, ow! Second, yeah, yeah, I thought so too... Well, I hoped, and I'm glad you were right."
She leaned in and kissed his cheek, "I'm glad, too. I can't be the only love of your life."
"That escalated quickly!" Don laughed. "And why not?"
"Well, I've got Sarah, and a girl's only got so much time and energy," she grinned.
Don smiled at her and said, "That's fair, I suppose."
"But, so what happened? Did she go with you to get her own ring?"
"Yes, she did," Don nodded. "She left Megan in command of the Maidenhead, and we took the Riverboat upriver, set off cross country, got to the valley and then climbed up to the Crimson Mountain."
"You are leaving so much out!" Tascha laughed.
"Well, I've got to finish the story, right?"
"Yeah, but give me the highlights at least. Did Sage go back to her celibacy?"
"Oh no, that was over," Don smiled.
"Excellent! This must have been like your honeymoon. How did she like the Riverboat and the Resort? Is she as much fun in an orgy as I am?"
"Well, first, nobody's as much fun at an orgy as you are!"
"Suck up!"
Don laughed, "And, 'honeymoon'? I don't know if I'd go that far, but I see your point. Well, we cut through Rendezvous pretty quickly, and we managed to catch the Riverboat just before it started upriver."
"That was lucky."
"Oh, we would have found some way to pass the time..."
"I'm sure!" Tascha grinned. "So, how was the river trip? At least tell me about that."
"Well, we talked about it and decided to try to stick together as much as possible until we got to the pleasure dome. So, if they played the same game the first night, we'd sit it out, but they had another mixer scheduled."

After the flurry of activity involved in leaving the Maidenhead and getting to the Riverboat (and Sage wanted to know why it didn't have a name), they enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy a spirited session of fucking on the nearest lounger. Then they commandeered an empty cabin for a nice shower, which, naturally enough, led to more sex, first in the shower, and then on the cabin's bed, which eventually led them back into the shower. As they were drying off and Sage was gathering up the clothes she had brought along, a pretty, blonde woman in a white uniform with a rather short skirt appeared in the cabin doorway and said, "Welcome aboard!"
"Hi, Sally," Don waved.
"Oh, hi, Don! Welcome back! We're going to have a fun mixer game in a little bit! It's couples night, so partner up and meet us all up in the ballroom!" Then she had hurried on.
"I'm standing right here," Sage grumbled with mock irritation.
Don shrugged, "I suppose she didn't want to presume anything."
"Was it 'couples night,' when you were here before?"
"No, the first time was kind of a random mixer, 'Cabin Fever,' I think, and the second time Shelonda and I skipped the activity."
As they made their way up to the ballroom, Sage asked about the random mixer and Don explained how the women went to claim cabins for themselves while he and the other men waited in the ballroom until Sally let them draw numbers from a black bag she had.
"We then went to the cabin that matched up with the number and 'got to know' whichever woman was there. When a chime sounded, we hurried back to the ballroom to draw another number."
"Wow, that must have been ... interesting. You just stopped in the middle of whatever you were doing and went back to the ballroom?"
"Pretty much, yeah," Don nodded.
"Even if you were in the middle of sex?"
"Well, yeah, that was sort of the point, I think. On the one hand, that encouraged you not to waste time, and, on the other, it built up a kind of crazed intensity. After the first round, I can say that the women I met were very much 'come here right now!' if you know what I mean."
Sage laughed, "Ay, I know what ye mean. How many rounds were there?"
"I think there were six."
"Hmm, how did Tascha take all of this?"
"Enthusiastically," Don smiled. "When the game was over and I caught up with her, and Shelonda, she was ... well, rather extremely well-fucked. I think she said she'd been able to count eight guys."
"Eight for six rounds?"
"Well, there were more men than women, so Sally apparently occasionally sent two guys to the same room. Then, Tascha and Shelonda took a break for one round and then played in the same room, which caused a bit of confusion. But yeah, I'm pretty sure she said eight, though she wasn't exactly counting, like she was in the Disco."
"Eight's pretty damn impressive," Sage mused.
"Well, it was actually at least nine, counting me, after the game was over," Don said, "but that was small potatoes compared to her night in the Disco or her gangbang with the Sisters."
"Um, okay, I have so many questions."
By this time, they had gotten to the ballroom, where they scored some fruit and took up a position off to the side where they could talk while waiting for Sally to commence the game. As he told her about the night in the Disco, Don idly noticed that the ballroom had been redecorated. There were low couches arranged so that there were four largish circles in the corners of the big room and one in the center. There were a lot of pillows about, too.
"So, eighteen guys? In one night?" Sage was clearly impressed.
"Well, no, that's just in the Disco," Don smiled. "After that we played a game with the Player, so the count was higher, plus some play with women."
"Damn! She's quite the woman, eh?"
"There were more in the next story, and you saw her with your crew, but yeah, she is," nodded Don. Then he had a thought, and quickly said, "I love her, Sage, but you should know, I didn't decide to stay here in Eros until I met you."
Sage fixed Don with an amused smile and said, "You don't have to worry about me, Don. I'm not the insecure, possessive type, and I can tell you're nuts about me. In fact...," she slipped up in front of him and took his cock in her hand. With a serious glint in her eye and a crooked grin, she said, in full piratic, "ye belong t'me now. I just be happy t'share."
"Well, alrighty then," Don smiled. He reached around her with both hands, squeezed her perfect ass, and said, "Right back at ye, Cap'n Sage."
With her free hand she pulled his head down, and before kissing him said "Actually, it's Evelyn."
Their deep, passionate kiss would certainly have led to yet another bout of enthusiastic sex, but Sally chose that moment to ring a bell she'd brought along for the occasion to get everyone's attention.
"Okay!" Sally grinned. "If you've all picked your partners, we're ready to play a game we call 'Spin the Bottle'!"
"Seriously?" Sage/Evelyn laughed.

"This should be good," Tascha chuckled.

"If you'll all take places around the five circles here, there should be room for four couples at each! And we have twenty couples tonight - perfect! House rules are that everyone starts out naked!" Sally beamed.
"Shouldn't that include you, Sally?" Don shouted, laughing.
