After dinner, Jessica retired to the living room with Janice and Celeste, leaving Jane and Marie to clean up. Jessica poured the three of them cognacs, and Janice reached into her purse and produced a treat of her own: a joint the size of her ring finger.
"My sister-in-law gave it to me," explained Janice. "She grows it. Says it's really phenomenal. You got a lighter?"
Jessica found a lighter and Janice lit up. She took a big puff and handed the joint to Jessica, who in turn passed it to Celeste.
By the time Jane and Marie joined them, the air was cloudy with smoke and all three women were sporting Cheshire-cat grins. Celeste said something in French and Jessica looked to Marie for a translation.
"She says she feels like a balloon," Marie said. "Like she's going to float away."
Jessica laughed. "Tell her not to worry. Tell her she's a human being on the surface of planet Earth and she's very safe." Marie cocked an eyebrow but dutifully translated. "I tell you what," added Jessica, "this stuff is making me horny as fuck."
"Yeah, she said it might do that," explained Janice. "She said it could be a little dangerous that way."
"Marie, come here," ordered Jessica, and Marie obediently dropped to her knees in front of her mistress. She helped Jessica take off her pants and panties and went to work. Janice, meanwhile, gestured to Jane and lifted her skirt; she was naked underneath. Kneeling, Jane leaned in and began by kissing and licking Janice's inner thighs, working her way gradually toward the middle.
Celeste sat and watched, sipping her cognac. Jessica looked over at her, wondering what she might be thinking. Celeste absolutely fascinated her; there was something about her that was so familiar and yet at the same time so foreign. Jessica found herself thinking, if I'd grown up where she grew up, experienced what she'd experienced, would we be the same, or would we still be different?
After coming a couple times Jessica told Marie that she could go sit down. She still felt pretty horny, but also very relaxed and creative; she had a vision of what she wanted to do next, and set about making it happen. Once Janice was done with Jane, Jessica told Jane and Marie to take their clothes off. Then she told Marie to get some rope and bind Jane according to her specifications: on her hands and knees with her hands tied behind her back.
Jessica had Marie attach another rope that pulled Jane's hands upward, forcing her into a not-quite-comfortable position that pushed her breasts forward. Then Jessica herself tied Marie in a similar position as best she could; her ropework was not as skilled as Marie's, but she got the job done. Finally, Jessica ball-gagged both girls and stood back to survey her handiwork. She was pleased.
