Wherein Sandy emerges and is tamed, for the time being
Author's note
: this is part 6 of a 12-part story arc which I've put under Group Sex (see Chapter 1). Like all my stories, it begins with character development and in this case, over several chapters. The chapters can have the elements of a number of different categories and I will try to give advance warning. This one is primarily Group, Bi/Lesbian, BDSM/Non-consent, Toys and more background. And a gentle reminder: this is all Fiction – Willing Suspension of Disbelief recommended...

Ginger climbed out of the spa and went to get us towels.
"Beth, what the hell have you gotten into here?" Sandra hissed.
"I like to think of it as Wonderland," I told her with a smile as I climbed out. "By way of a very different rabbit hole."
"What I meant was," she tried to explain, "this is way overboard kinky. I mean, they all presume a certain, um...
comfort level
... and I, uh..."
"And you're turned on and confused at the same time," I told her. "I'd say that's normal. It was for me. Hey, thanks, Ginger!"
She'd tossed us each a towel and I chose to wrap mine around my waist and roll it into a kind of sarong skirt. Ginger did the same. Sandra looked at us for a moment, then tried to wrap it above her breasts, also sarong-like. It was too short. She could cover her tits or cover her pussy, but not both. She settled for the skirt.
"Come on with me and I'll get you some clothing you can be comfortable in," I told her and turned for the house. She caught up next to me very quickly.
"I am not uncomfortable with my body," she stated rather aggressively. I guess she had something to prove.
"Okay," I told her. "Maybe you're just not comfortable with other people's bodies. Or their reactions to your body. Macht nichts. You seem to prefer clothes. I know where to turn you on to a bunch of choices. You're guaranteed to like at least something there."
"I'm not uncomfortable with other people's bodies!" she protested.
"Okay," I agreed again. "But then why are you trying to cover up? I
like
teasing the guys a bit. And nude or semi-nude seems like a nice way to do it. Of course, they know I've become a sex addict over the weekend and I'll always follow through on any tease."
"And down this hall, and in this door, is the Closet of Wonder!" I was intentionally ignoring how flustered she was getting at my presumptions about her prudishness and my comments about being a sex addict. I got the feeling she'd never admit to having a hang-up I didn't have. Maybe she was just that competitive.
"I'll be back in a minute," I told her. "Go ahead and browse." Then I ducked out and over to "my room", and retrieved the sundress and flip-flops. And I left off the panties and bra. Dinner wasn't going to be the
only
thing with a little sauce tonight!
By the time I got back, she was still starkers, but holding up a couple of dresses and had another couple laid out on the bed. As I would have expected from a politically astute animal, she had excellent taste.
"Nice," she commented to me as I entered, eyeing my dress.
"Thank you," I told her, actually believing the compliment.
"Guess that tells me what I need to know, too," she added, putting the two dresses in her hands back in the closet. She went over to the ones on the bed and held them up. One was an emerald green sheath dress, cut low front and back, and the other was a bright tropical splash, mostly yellows, in a full sarong style dress.
"Too formal," she told the emerald dress, and it went back into the closet. Then she looked at me again, closely, apparently trying to decide something. She surprised me by hefting one of her boobs, almost like weighing it.
"Okay, no bra. I can see that. Um... panties?" she asked me.
"No," I told her. "But that's because I'm already fucking all of them." I saw her take a breath and let it out slowly. Then she started slipping into the yellow sarong. No panties.
"Sandra," I started, sitting on the edge of the bed. I was going to do a little probing and see how far I got before she shut me down. "What's wrong with Sandy? You started to say Sandy outside, to Jerry, then corrected yourself. And I've seen you correct others, rather vehemently sometimes."
"Sandy did bad things," she told me, facing into the closet, looking for shoes. "A lot of bad things. She's gone, now. I prefer it that way."
To say I was surprised at her blunt honesty would be a severe understatement.
"And for a moment, you considered waking her up again," I guessed, making a monumental leap in logic. "Because she isn't really gone... she's just asleep. Or locked up. Or however you want to look at it. And this Wonderland is tempting... very, very tempting."
"I'd say you have the general idea," she told me, turning to face me and holding up a pair of flip-flops like mine. "Are these comfortable?"
"Very," I told her, "for me. People are comfortable with different things." I was intentionally leading the conversation back on topic.
"Indeed," she agreed, slipping into the sandals. "And you're fucking all five of them. And they know it."
"All seven," I corrected. "Ginger and Molly, too."
Sandy looked at me for a long time before she commented, "that's one Sandy didn't do..." Then she brightened up. "So! Head for dinner?"
"Sure," I told her, then paused. I made sure I had her attention.
"Obviously, none of this can ever go back to the workplace. I know you know that. And... within the confines of this group of people, this is as close to absolute safety for my Wild Child to come out and play as I could hope for. They don't do drugs. They aren't into criminal activities. Everything is straight up and street legal for California, and they know how to pamper my hedonistic side."
"And they'd probably be very happy to pamper yours, once you figure out what you want... Sandy."
I turned and went to the door, holding it open for her. She hesitated a bit – maybe my words were sinking in – and then came on over to me and out into the hall.
"Just back up the hall is the Living Room," I told her. "And dinner."
* * * * *
Molly had done a superb job. She had decided tonight was Chinese night and picked representative dishes from the eight disciplines of Chinese cooking: Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Szechuan and Zhejiang. When I admitted to only knowing about Cantonese, Hunan and Szechuan – with Mongolian in there, too, but it isn't really China, no matter what the governments say – I got the Cliff's Notes version of the lecture from her, with a promise of more detailed instructions when we had the time.
Regardless, we had a great meal, buffet style as was usual for the Living Room or the terraces and Sandra was becoming enraptured by Molly's expanse of knowledge and gentle sense of humor conveying it to an appreciative audience. The guys, bless their hearts, didn't bring up Word One of the porno shoot and neither did the girls. Until after dinner, that is.
"What time do you need to get back to your hotel, Sandra?" Jerry had asked. "I know Beth has an early day tomorrow, so I imagine you do, too."
"Well, by midnight would be good," she told him. "I don't have to prepare for class like Beth. I'm more administrative."
"Excellent!" Jerry told her. "Then Beth doesn't need to miss the screening. I was trying to figure out how to divvy up the time, since she's staying out here."
"Screening of what?" Sandra asked, and I knew exactly where Jerry was going with this. Did I mention he had a devious side? A very well-developed devious side... and I was starting to appreciate it.
"The movie we just shot," he explained. "I finished the editing and wanted to screen it for the crew. I've decided it rates its own release, rather than being part of the compilation I was putting together. I think I'm going to title it 'Los Cinco Hermanos'. Seems fitting."
"See?" Ginger interjected. "There you go again, completely ignoring the Dos Hermanas."
"But it doesn't fit well in the title," Jerry objected. "That's not to slam your excellent contribution."
"Fine," she pouted. "But someday I'd like to see Las Tres Hermanas, with
you
as the supporting cast!"
"Maybe we will, then, if Beth comes onboard," he tried to mollify her.
"Um, Jerry?" I raised my hand. "Maybe it isn't such a good idea to screen the film with
my boss
present?" I wasn't sure which way I wanted this to go. After all, I'd just found out about "Sandy".
"Oh, don't worry about it, Beth," Sandra jumped in, a little too eagerly I thought. "Tonight I'm not your boss. I'm just a friend and what happens at Jerry's, stays at Jerry's."
Hook, line and sinker. She was caught. I had a strange feeling that screening the video with Sandra would be like going for a walk with a werewolf under a full moon. Or would that be a were-Sandy?
"Well, that's great!" Jerry exclaimed. "We can use the theatre upstairs. Molly? How long to make popcorn and get out soft drinks?"
"By the time you're settled, it'll be ready," she smiled and stood up.
"My 'soft drink' is going to need a lot of alcohol on the side, Molly," I told her. Everybody jumped on that suggestion.
"Fine," she told us. "Make what you want and bring it with you. I'll do the popcorn." She headed out as I wondered
now what the hell am I getting us into?
