This part of the story has more exposition than sex, but serves to shed some light (pun intended) on what is happening in part 1 and set up part 3. Initially, this was going to be the start of the story, but I ended up liking how the twist in the end happens in this order. For that reason, I would recommend reading "Lights Out – Part 1" first – especially so ending will make more sense.

(Beth's Story)
Bethany, or Beth as anyone who wasn't an aunt or her mother called her, was not raised with what one would call a typical view of sexuality. She knew about sex around the age of ten from her mother being less than discrete with the men she cheated on Beth's father with. Being in a two room apartment with thin walls while her mother's sexual cries gave a play by play of the action taught her lots: "Yes, lick my clit." "Shove that cock in my pussy." "Cum in my mouth."
Not surprisingly, her father left both of them, claiming he wasn't even Beth's father, by the time she was twelve. Her dad was a dark skinned Italian with brown eyes, while her mom was Latino. And, there was Beth, the creamy skinned redhead with sparkling green eyes who stuck out like a sore thumb at family gatherings on both sides. Beth was certain her father was right that he wasn't her biological one.
Despite not sharing his DNA, Beth loved her father and his leaving left a hole in her life that she never seemed to replace until she married Harrison many years later. What didn't help matters was she had her first period within weeks of him leaving and experienced more pain than she's ever felt in her life.
A year later, after numerous doctor visits and tests, it was confirmed that Beth had a serious medical issue with her reproductive organs. Her mother was given the options of letting suffer the immense pain each month, or surgery that would end it, but Beth would never be able to have children.
Her mother said, "She does this, can she have a normal sex life?"
The doctor replied, "There's risks, but over than her ovaries, everything else should function normally."
"Fix her then."
Without asking her if she ever wanted to be a mother, Beth's mom took any chance of that away. And Beth hated her ever since for that and driving her dad away. As soon as she was fifteen, and legally old enough to work, Beth moved out into a one-room apartment. Her mother didn't protest, with all the drinking and fucking lowlifes she'd con to help pay her rent, Beth didn't think she really noticed.
As far as her sexuality at that point, Beth had no really gauge of what was 'normal,' but knew two things. One, she was as sexually attracted to boys as well as girls. Two, she was able to completely separate the physical act of sex from the emotional. Having physical sex without someone did not have any effect on the feelings she had towards another. Unfortunately, that led to her breaking some hearts – including her own – in high school.
In grade twelve, she became friends with Riley. Beth was the alpha, loud brash, and fearless, while Riley was meek, but the kindest person you'd meet. She also looked like a model with her lithe-toned figure and flawless face. Beth thought she was in love with Riley, but realized soon it was just physical attraction. She wanted to hang out with Riley, not hold hands and take romantic walks. The complication was she also wanted to have sex with Riley with any emotional connection – and Riley had a boyfriend, Reginald.
Beth knew Reg was as attracted to her as she was to Riley, but physically he was too scrawny and not her type – for a guy. One night at his place, when they were all drunk and stoned, Reg got Beth alone and made a move trying to convince her to join Riley and him for a threesome. Beth never thought Riley would agree with it and didn't want to risk that friendship by fooling around with a guy she wasn't that attracted to and turned him down. Though, thinking of the three of them together became the go-to- fantasy when she masturbated.
At one of their final parties as high school seniors, Beth came up with the "Lights Out" game. She acted like it was something she read, but basically invented it all on the spot while really high on some pills. Riley took some convincing to agree – a lot of it – and Reg of course loved the idea – as did some of the other teens. The first time playing, there were two couples and four singles, including Beth.
The basement was adjusted so no one would injure themselves, and there was easily findable spaces to have thirty minutes of fun in darkness. Boys on one side, girls on the other, the lights went out, and the girls went and grabbed their partner. The lamp was on one of those timers for people to use on vacation so it seemed they were at home. When the time was up, there was no warning, the light just came back on and revealed each random new couple in some sort of activity. No one was fucking the first time, but by the third round, most girls had their boobs exposed and three girls, including Riley, were giving blowjobs. Beth had her pants and panties off and was getting finger fucked by Reg, and while the other girls immediately stopped with the lights back on, Beth had Reg by the wrist and didn't let him stop until she came while the others watched. Beth expected Riley to be angry, but she watched with great interest and took Reg upstairs immediately after not so discretely have sex in one of the bedrooms.
The next weekend they played again with the same eight people; by the second round, two pairs – including Beth – were fucking when the lights came on and didn't stop till the guys came.
The next time, there was only six and all pairs were fucking when the lights were on. Beth fucked Reg for the first time that night and noticing him watching Riley being fucked doggy-style as she rode him. He loved it. Riley's eyes were also glued on Beth and Reg with a look of utter lust.
The fourth weekend in a row, and the week of grad, it was back up to eight people as another couple heard and wanted to join. Beth brought pot brownies and made sure that Riley had some. Beth had butterflies in her stomach, not sure if what she had planned would work or be a big disaster. When the lights went out for the first time, Beth immediately grabbed Riley's hand, pulled her to the corner and kissed her. Surprisingly, not only did Riley not resist, she immediately fumbled with the clasp on Beth's dress. When the lights came on, after already bringing each other to orgasm orally, Riley and Beth kissed passionately as they rubbed their pussies together in the scissor position fully naked. One pair was fucking loudly in one corner, while Reg and two other guys were all around another girl. The other six paused, probably out of shock of the two who broke the rules, but all except Reg resumed. Reg immediately came and joined Beth and Riley, and the three continued fucking each other after the others finished and left. That was the last 'Lights Out' the three of them took part in, but apparently it continued on without them. Beth had finally found out how to handle her physical sexual needs – though not emotional.
After high school, Riley and Beth went to college to study business and Reg joined the army. Beth didn't date and the threesomes with her friends became their 'monthly treat.' Before deploying, Reg proposed to Riley and they eloped. Beth was the only witness at the ceremony, and was woken up to join the couple in bed after they consummated their marriage.
With Reg away, Riley and Beth hung out more. Riley started getting more affectionate, making Beth think her friend had fallen for her. Luckily, Riley confessed she just missed the sex and intimacy, but didn't want to cheat on Reg. The solution became obvious, using video; Beth had sex with Riley while Reg watched on video. Soon after, the two girls would go out find a guy and both fuck him for Reg to watch. When Reg came back on leave, usually Riley wanted him all to herself but, if it was long enough, Beth would join them for one evening. That stopped when Riley became pregnant and then Beth became lonely.
Riley dropped out of college to be a mother while Beth had a ton of sex with both males and females, but fully aware her emotional needs were not being met. She graduated university just before Riley and Reg had their second daughter. Once Beth entered the workforce, she saw much less of her two best friends and had no luck finding someone to satisfy both her sexual and emotional needs.
Beth never was into the whole 'older man' thing and preferred partners of both sexes to be either around her age or younger. However, something about Harrison Weger attracted her instantly. He was tall with strong full shoulders, and the premature-graying hair gave him such a distinctive experienced look. His eyes, especially his eyes, just made her want him instantly. He had a wedding ring on when she saw him sitting in the bar with a friend and she didn't care. She pursued him right then and there. After some flirting and dancing, she deposited her bra and panties in his suit jacket pocket before leading him to the door.
Both in and out of the bedroom, Beth was used to being in charge. That's what made her so effective in her career and why physically, she rarely had problems making sure she was satisfied. She thought that she lured this attractive, quiet, older man away to completely have her way with him for the night and move on. Beth was so wrong.
As soon as Beth had Harrison in her SUV, there was a battle of wills as each tried to take control of the situation. He might be quiet, but Harrison was already a manager of an insurance company that him and his best friend are now running. Beth had been with alpha males before. In her experience, they had a caveman mentality that was good for a quick fuck, but usually no personality.
In their debate of how the rest of the evening should go, Harrison made it clear that he had personality and wasn't going to be fucking her that night. He wanted to go his place - a big no-no for Beth and one-night-stands - to have some drinks and get to know her better. He'd recently separated from his wife because she cheated with the neighbor, who she was now living with, and wanted to take it slow.
It was nice, but that night, Beth was looking for sexual release not a relationship. Beth did exchange numbers with him, and was getting ready to leave while bars were still open and she could find another option for the night. What she expected to be a pleasant kiss good night erupted into passion. Harrison carried her to bed and took the lead. As he said, they did not fuck, but he gave her the best face she'd had since Riley. She returned the favor and fell asleep beside him, almost afraid of what she was feeling towards this man.
