Jessica groaned internally; Jo's timing couldn't have been worse. It seemed as if Carol and Jen might have been about to have a moment when the call came to get back on the bus and head back to the hotel.
On the way back, Jo told everyone to come back to Margaret and her room, or as she called it, "Party Central." They had to go on two elevators and Jo made people wait until everyone was there. People were already beginning to comment about how their room was right about the same spot either one floor up or one floor down. Jo heard this and smiled. When everyone was there, she opened the door.
The room looked straight to where there was a balcony and sliding glass doors that gave a view of the Strip. There had been one bed but that was tipped up on its side, mattress and all. It was out on the balcony to maximize the space in the room. It also served to make sure no one went out on the balcony since there had already been a lot of drinking and more was expected. There were some couches and chairs set up in a "U" facing two chairs with high backs.
Jo took Melanie's hand and Margaret took Katie's and they led them to the two chairs with the high backs. There was a table set up as a bar to the side. Jo asked everyone else to get themselves a drink and find a seat. As everyone else was getting their drinks, Jo and Margaret took drink orders from Katie and Melanie and got theirs for them.
With everyone set, Jo stepped up, facing the crowd with Katie and Melanie behind her. "Ladies, first I would like to thank you all for coming to this somewhat different bachelorette party." This was met with a few cheers and whistles. Jo continued "And I heard some of you mentioning your room locations before. Well, that is not an accident. Our rooms for this extravaganza were very carefully chosen. They are laid out like a Tic-Tac-Toe board. And Party Central is the middle square. Which means there are empty rooms above and below and on either side of us right now since you are all here. So, feel free to make some noise as we won't be bothering the neighbors." This was met with even louder cheers and more whistles. "I would like a round of applause for the genius who thought of that, Margaret if you would." Margaret stepped forward to a rousing cheer and round of applause.
Jo continued with her emcee duties. "Now while my lovely assistant sets up the next event, let me explain it. This is going to be a relay race. You will split up into two teams and our "Queens" (Jo gestured behind her to Katie and Melanie) will be at the end of the lines. You will come up to the table now behind me (Margaret had set up a folding table and placed it in front of Katie and Melanie), take a shot and hold onto the glass. Then you have to run around behind the 'thrones' and come back to the next person in line and hand then the glass. They then fill it up and repeat the process. When the Queens come around, they have to get back into their throne to win. If you forget to bring your glass or you try to pass it without running around the thrones, that's a one-shot penalty as well. Since my Margaret (Katie and Melanie shot each other a glance and smiled when Jo said this) is only 20, she is not drinking tonight so she will be the referee. It doesn't matter which line you take; we just need them to be even."
As everyone went to line up, Carol quickly moved to the table in front of Melanie's throne. Jen took up the challenge and went to the line in front of Katie's. Katie's sisters Abigail and Brianna also took this as a chance for some sibling rivalry and went in separate lines. Carol looked back to the end of lines and saw Katie staring at her. Katie took two fingers, pointed them and her own eyes and then turned her hand to point them at Carol. They both laughed.
With everything ready to go, Margaret began to count down. Jen said, "You're going down Rogers."
"We'll see Smith." was Carol's reply.
Margaret said, "Go!" and the two mothers filled their shot glasses. They both knocked them back and took off around the table. They started in opposite directions and when they got behind the chairs, there was not enough room for them both to pass between the chairs and the sliding glass door to the balcony. They had to turn to the side to pass each other and their breasts brushed against each other's bodies. With the height difference Carol's rubbed across Jen's chest and Jen's rubbed across Carol's diaphragm. They giggled at each other, but they did not forget this was a race either.
The race went along and everyone had fun. Margaret had to assess a few penalty shots and clean up a few spills. At the end Katie had the lead and was standing in front of her 'throne' when Melanie came around. Katie picked her up and brought her up to her face. She said, 'that's two wins for me."
"What do you mean, two wins?" asked Melanie.
"The first was when you agreed to marry me, because without that we wouldn't be here. And the second one is this." Katie then put Melanie down and scooted into her chair."
"Winner. Team Rogers." announced Margaret and there were various cheers and some trash talk between the participants.
Jo, who had been on Team Rogers and had her own little brush with Katie's sister Brianna as they went behind the chairs, now said, "Okay ladies. Get yourselves a drink and take a seat. After that we all can use a little rest and so the next game is a sitting game."
Once everyone was sitting down, Jo said "Okay, the name of this game is 'Sexy Never Have I Ever.' If you don't know it, the rule is someone will say 'Never have I ever...' and then say something sex related. If you have done what they say, you have to take a drink. If not, you don't do anything. Now, you can say something that you have in fact done. It's just, you have to take a drink then. While that is not a winning strategy, it does give you a chance to see just how kinky the rest of us might be as well. I'll get us started, 'Never have I ever...kissed a girl."
Most of the people in attendance did take a drink. Melanie looked at her mom to see where she was looking. It did appear that she was looking at Carol when she took her drink. Katie had not been surprised when she looked over at her sisters and Abigail had not moved. She was surprised the Brianna did.
The rest of the game was fun for everyone. The highlights came first to "Never have I ever cum so loud people heard me in another room." Lesley Prentiss, a former player at the same college soccer team as Katie, Melanie, and Jo said, "the Queens should each have to drink twice because we use to hear them on different floors, never mind different rooms."
On "Never have I even been restrained or bound during sex." not many people took a drink. Carol Rogers did and so too did Margaret. Katie called out "was it in the Sin Bin, Margaret?" The Sin Bin was what the girls called Jo's room.
"Well, I have been there as well, but that wasn't the first time."
Then Jo added, "Ms. Rogers, you drank too?"
"Yes Jo." Carol looked at the faces of her two oldest daughters who were staring in disbelief. "It's not like I was all tied up and hanging from the ceiling."
However, the best reaction came when after back-to-back "Never have I ever been fucked by a strapon." and "Never have I ever fucked somebody with a strapon." When Carol Rogers had taken a drink after both of those her middle daughter Brianna shouted, "
Geez Mom! What the hell have you been getting up to?
"
With the room full of chuckles and guffaws, Carol looked straight at her daughter and said "Bri, you heard the questions and I took a drink after both. I think by the rules of the game it is pretty obvious what the hell I've been up to." This brought about a bunch of cheers and even some applause.
