Chapter 8, Training Team
To my readers: This chapter starts slowly but is necessary to set up future chapters. Thanks for staying with me.
When Jillian called me the day after orientation, I knew that training or whatever it wound up being, was about to begin, and I also knew I'd made a wise decision to skip orientation. She proposed a meeting to discuss the lists and information I'd been given.. After discussing several dates, we agreed on the following Tuesday at one of the smaller meeting places. I took down the location, noting that I was familiar with the area, having a close friend that lived nearby. The office complex was one of three that were destined to be demolished for construction of a new hospital and research center. Nearly all of the tenants had relocated already and the others were in the process of doing so.
"Just casual, Samantha. Jeans, or whatever. I'll be sure to have some snacks and refreshments. I think Beth is bringing some other training materials so we'll be busy."
Oh, I had no doubt of that, remembering the lust in the women's eyes when last we'd met.
When I opened my calendar on the computer, I was glad that I had begun keeping good records right from the start. Beth had been the one to advise that in one of her early conversations after the meeting with Laurie and Wendy. I took great care to pace myself, hoping I would neither burn out, or get so busy that I would miss events, such as chapter meetings.
After a lot of thought, I decided to wear a pair of shorts and a pullover top, and at the last minute, a bra and panties. My hopes were high of seeing the other women naked but I had no way to know and didn't want to seem like a slut or something.
As I entered the offices, I heard bright laugher coming from the rear of the suite and headed toward it. Putting on my brightest smile, I stepped into the room to be greeted by two of the women I wanted to know so much better. Heather was no where to be seen. Disappointed, but at the same time thrilled, I stepped over to exchange greeting hugs and kisses from Beth and Jillian.
Beth wore a pair of old jeans and a button up shirt while Jillian had echoed my feelings and wore shorts and a pullover. "Looks like we planned it, doesn't it?" she asked, turning so I could see her outfit, and that hot ass I wanted to play with.
"Have you made any contacts yet?" Beth inquired.
"I guess you could say that," I replied, proceeding to detail my session with Dani. Before I was even done, the scent of arousal was strong and they were both in the final stages of orgasm. It was precious, watching them trying to be discrete, even when it wasn't necessary.
Without realizing it, I too began feeling the pressure of an oncoming orgasm and I welcomed it. When we calmed, we went into the bathroom and cleaned ourselves up, chuckling at how easy it had been to get us going.
Sipping on iced tea, we gathered our thoughts together to try to accomplish the real reason for our meeting.
"I'm happy for you, Samantha," Beth reported. "I know her membership was a personal goal of yours and you accomplished a major breakthrough there. Of course you can be there and it's sweet of you to want to. Did you warn her about the size of the strap-on?"
"No," I replied. "I was afraid I revealed too much as it was."
"I don't think so," Jillian commented. "She might have backed out if you hadn't prepared her that well. I think you have to kind of go with your gut sometimes. You knew what you needed to do to get her past everything and knowing that you'll be there with her makes a big difference. I think you did a great job."
"Thanks," I replied. "I'm so happy we're friends again too."
"I think this is going to work out fine," Beth added. "I'm not surprised that you made the first step alone. Remember what you did to Allyssa. She does, I promise."
I laughed and felt my face flush. That wasn't one of my shining moments in my book
"Well," Beth continued, "I think you have the general idea and maybe we can offer some suggestions of different ways to go about it. That's why we're called the training team."
I laughed and nodded. "That's what I was hoping. There were a couple of other prospects I wanted to work on too and maybe you can help me with those as well."
"Good. Well, you've obviously been giving it some thought," Jillian observed "To be honest with you, Samantha, we've never had a designated individual to do this for us before. We've sort of left that up to the one that originally nominated them, but we haven't been getting a very high percentage of returning candidates so we thought that with that body, we might have a better chance."
"I can think of several bodies that are better than mine," I replied, "and I haven't seen yours yet so I might add some more to the list."
Jillian laughed and went to get us some beverages.
"It's not just the body," Beth continued, "it's the attitude, the willingness to try new things, experience new ideas, and things like that. Your handling of your test with Allyssa was outstanding and far and away the best we've ever seen. Most women just ignore her until she almost rapes them. You were quick to see an opportunity and you took a chance. That's what this is all about, Samantha. Taking a chance on a candidate and knowing when an opportunity presents itself and then the timing of your presentation. I've seen that as a natural thing with you and that's why I suggested you for this very important job."
"Pay sucks, but the benefits might be worth it," Jillian commented as she returned with our drinks.
"You do realize that this is a voluntary assignment and there is no pay involved," Beth quickly added.
"Oh, I expected that." I replied. "As Jillian so aptly put it, I'm in it for the benefits."
We spent the next half hour going over such things as chapter and group membership limitations, and retention data, which was quite impressive. We discussed nomination procedures, and the type of candidates that were desired as well as the ones less desirable. The entire screening procedure was discussed and I almost wondered at how I was approved. I asked about the bondage groups and was told that while there were four chapters, bondage was not encouraged, and was strictly controlled.
"I'm glad we discussed that, just in case I meet someone who is interested in it. I thought about it once but I think I'll just stay with the group I'm with now. They do use some of the bondage techniques but it isn't their focus from what I've seen so far."
"No," Jillian agreed, "and it's a good group. I used to be in that chapter before I got so involved with the overall operations. Cricket is a great advisor and you'll find her to be a good friend as well. By the way, I heard about your adventures with Justine."
I flushed at the reminder. "I'm not sure I wanted to hear that."
They both laughed. "Samantha, you're a legend. Justine is so tall and imposing that no one has ever challenged her that way. She was absolutely thrilled and won't stop talking about it. Your last chapter meeting made me wish I was still a member of the chapter."
"Speaking of chapters," Beth said, "we try not to put a new member into the chapter of the person that recommended them. They have the right to request it, and sometimes it works out well but it can have serious ramifications on the other members so try to avoid it if you can."
"I have no idea who recommended me," I reported."I'd love to thank them."
"She's carefully avoided meetings where you've been for a while. You'll see her soon though. By the way, she is extremely proud of you and was thrilled when you accepted this position. She just wanted to wait for the right time and circumstance to let you know. She's suggested several nominees but I'll let her discuss that with you."
"Is there a specific approach I'm to take with prospects?" I wondered.
"That's your decision, Samantha," Beth replied. "Every candidate is different. I'd study every bio carefully and look at the photos as well as the follow up reports to see at what point they refused to continue. The better you know your candidate, the more apt you are to get them back. I've even followed a candidate for a short time on several occasions just to get to know them better. Just be sure that you are never confrontational. You have to be accepted as a friend and non-threatening at all times. I've got some suggested meeting places for you similar to the one that Melissa uses, and all expenses you incur within reason at a restaurant or whatever, will be reimbursed. I use a separate credit card for that to make it simpler. When you met Melissa she took several minutes to study you for signs of nervousness or fear. Know your candidates mental state and you'll have a better success rate."
"What about prospects that refused the anal penetration?"
"That's a tough situation, but don't lose a prospect because of it. I like the way you handled that with Dani. Do whatever you can to get them to accept it, because it is a sign of their willingness to try new things, and try to calm their fears. You've been there and experienced it for the first time at your orientation. I know you didn't really want it done to you but you accepted it. That's the big thing...acceptance of new and perhaps less than ideal experiences. If a prospect vehemently objects for whatever reason, we can waive that part of the ceremony, but it means that everything else becomes more important. The candidate committee may reject a prospect if they know so keep that in mind. We only have a few chapter openings left, thirty-eight, to be exact. Our maximum membership limit is two hundred, at least until further notice."
"You say two hundred for a maximum yet I haven't seen more then forty or so at the orientations." I observed.
"There's a good reason for that, Samantha. We only have so much room at the orientation sites so we have to restrict attendance. No one attends all the sessions though. It would burn you out."
"I'm close to that already," I agreed. "I'm not complaining though. It was rough last month because of the two orientations and a special chapter meeting. Maybe I'll slow down now."
"Or not." Jillian warned. "You may find that this new position puts a lot of stress on you and if it does, you just have to slow down. There are no deadlines or anything so watch yourself and don't be afraid to back off."
"Why don't we do some roll playing, Beth. That might give her some ideas and give us a better idea of what we need to focus on."
