CONSEQUENCES 03
PART B
Sanity returns to the Thurlow Household
As Olivia looks up at David with something a little akin to wonder at how his kiss can make everything seem so much better or at least wipe away the guilt she was feeling.
So, Bree is wondering if the dress she is wearing is just a bit too revealing. She admonishes herself, she's a single woman, now. Why shouldn't she show a little flesh? Jane had told her that some hunky young single men were coming to the game, and it made a little tingle run up her spine as some very naughty thoughts ran through her mind. Nope, her mind was made up. She was going to look good. If no one else did, she was absolutely sure David would appreciate her dress. She had heard so many good things about him.
Ben, Mike, and Frank were also dressing and joshing each other about what they were wearing. One thing that they all agreed upon was that Ana, Jane, and Olivia were smoking hot, and they were really looking forward to this chance to meet them again: each savouring their own lascivious private hopes.
Jo, on the other hand, was definitely having second thoughts and wondering what she was letting herself into. She'd heard all kinds of things about these Truth or Dare games, and what she'd heard made her both excited and frightened. Suppose they asked her about her sex life or to take clothing off. Her face went crimson at the thought. "Come on girl," the boys had said, "nothing is ever that bad. Let's have a good time." She'd heard the boys talking about the gorgeous women that were having the get together, and when she looked in the mirror, she just depressed herself. She looked like the pretty girl next door. It didn't help of course that she normally dressed worse than the girl next door, very conservatively would have been a kind description.
One of the boys calls to her asking, "You decent?" Hearing an affirmative, he put his head around the door. "Come on, girl, hurry up. Why aren't you dressed yet?"
"I am dressed!" She explodes.
"Guys, he shouts, come and see what Jo says she's going to wear." They arrive together, all three peering in at her, not yet stepping over the threshold.
"That's what you always wear," says one, and she turns and sticks her tongue out.
Ben, always the more daring of the group, steps into the room and takes command. "Let's have a look," he says, going through her closet. He finishes doing so, looking disgusted. He turns to Mike and says, "You are going to have to bite the bullet. I know she cheated on you, but you are going to have to ask Ver for help. She and Jo are buddies, so I am sure she'll help if you ask nicely and explain what's up." Mike's face drops. Ben continues, "Sorry my friend, we need you to take one for the team."
Fifteen minutes later, Ver arrives with her arms full of clothes. It was fairly obvious why Ben had chosen her, because they were about the same height, and having once seen Jo in bra and panties, he reckoned they were pretty much similar, only Ver didn't cover her figure up nearly as much as Jo did.
Ver enters without a word and walks past the boys arranged along the passageway, giving Mike a firmly placed 'I don't care' look as she passes him. Then she bursts into Jo's bedroom and firmly slams the door to give the three guys a definite 'keep out' message. Half an hour later, the boys are chomping at the bit, they are going to be late if she doesn't get a move on.
Eventually the bedroom door opens, and someone they don't recognize steps out, her head down, wishing she was anywhere but here right now. The guys, colluding as one, move past her to the doorway and say, "Come on, Jo. Hurry up."
Jo does no more than turn around and shout, "You bastards." And clouts them all with her bag.

Back at the Thurlow Home
Back at the Thurlow home, David begins to prepare their furniture and the things they will need for the game. He picks up the Spinning board and takes it to his workshop to give it a quick coat of fast-drying white paint. He stands it on edge, facing away from him, and is fascinated by the workings on the rear. They look very complex for a simple wheel. That should give Olivia something to play with. 'Might keep her out of trouble for a while,' he laughs to himself. 'No chance of that, I hope' he's also pleased to acknowledge.
Going back into the house, he finds dice, a large coin, and a tablecloth to lay across their central occasional table. He plans to place sofas on all four sides, with the table between, and have a comfy chair set off to one side. He then sets up a table with glasses and drinks in a corner of the room. He places small side tables at the ends of the sofas and lamps on the tables.
By now, time is moving on faster than he would like. He glances up to Olivia and a better-looking Jane, who is still enjoying the comfort of Olivia's arms, and the occasional little kiss she gives her face and lips. He says, "I am thinking I should sit on a single seat near the drinks, so that I can keep everyone well topped up. Olivia, if you sit at the other end, you can take charge of the Swing board. I'm thinking if you like that idea, then it's up to you who to put next to you. What do you guys think about your positions? Shall we have Ana on one side and Jane on the other? Can I leave you guys to decide?"
They look at each other conspiratorially--as they seem to do more and more often. "Don't worry yourself about it, David. You just sit down last wherever we leave a space. Like you say, it will probably be the odd seat, but we ladies will have to decide who we'd like to have in touching distance before we get up close and personal." Olivia winks at him lasciviously.
'They are just insatiable,' he decides to himself. 'And I wouldn't change them for anything.'
Getting back to the arrangements, David pulls the curtains, and without thinking, turns off the main light, leaving the room temporarily in darkness. 'Oops,' he thinks. 'Should have put a table lamp on first.' Then he hears giggling from Olivia and Jane and decides to take his time and let them have a few moments.
Guided by his inner map of the room, he very slowly makes his way back to one of the side tables opposite those 2 ladies, He can just make out their shapes, and yep, he's right, they are making out. Turning just one side table on to give soft lighting he sees they are hellbent on 'make-up' sex, quickly pulling shirts off each other now that they can see. Having successfully gotten naked, they both turn to him and crook a finger. He glances at the clock and then thinks, 'What the hell?' and starts ripping his clothes off.
