We sat around sipping on our wine. It had become hot in the van, and Hazel got up and opened all the windows and the side door. She checked the flyscreens were all tight. Scared bugs would overrun us. As she returned and sat between us, Don asked Hazel why she had not told him about her University days before.
"I was afraid. I didn't want to lose you, so I didn't say anything. Then, after we were married, it wasn't something I was terribly proud of, and honestly, I didn't want to bring it up. If you had asked me directly if there had ever been someone else, I might have told you some of it."
Don and I almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Wish I had been at University with you."
Hazel turned to me, "Why? Would you like to have met Trudy?"
"I was more thinking about the fact there were no gangbangs when I was in my teens. But Yes, I would have liked to have met Trudy."
Then, seeing that Hazel gave me a puzzled, questioning look, I answered,
"I've always been attracted to stuck-up, strait-laced, untouchable women. I guess I see them as a real challenge. In my experience, when you get them into bed, they are real fire-brands and often quite insatiable. So Trudy sounds just my sort of woman."
Don piped up, "You wouldn't want to meet her now. She's anti-sex; Brett, her husband, never gets it. He's always complaining, and if we're out with them and our conversation ever strays onto sex, she throws a sulky fit. Doesn't she, Hazel?"
"Yes, She's a bit uncomfortable with her past. I've tried to discuss things with her several times when we were alone, but she will have none of it. She even tells me I must be thinking of another girlfriend."
"Will you tell us a bit more about that year?" I asked.
Hazel hesitated; she looked nervously at Don, then relaxed her shoulders. She seemed to resign herself to the fact she had to finish telling the narrative. "I know you won't let up until I've told you everything. But I'm not happy about this. I've kept it locked away for so long, and it really should have remained that way."
Don leaned against her, hugged her, and said he understood. But he needed to know everything now and that he could handle anything she had done, as it was all long in the past.
"Where was I up to?" she asked.
I answered quickly, in case Don gave the wrong answer. "You had just been bent over the couch that Trudy and Ashram had moved into the centre of the lounge."
"Oh God, this is going to sound pretty debauched, guys. You really want me to go on?"
Immediately, two eager idiots were nodding their heads right beside her. She swung her head from one side to the other, taking in our keen puppy dog expressions, before hanging her head and taking up where she had left off.
"Did I explain that they positioned me kneeling on the couch, with my elbows over the low back? The guy behind me was trying to do anal, and I couldn't tell him 'No' as Ben was holding my head tight and fucking my mouth. But I snapped my hips to the side every time he touched me there, and he finally got the message and put it in the right place."
"Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ashram positioning Trudy alongside me, and while he was doing her from behind, she started playing with my tits. I don't remember all the details of what followed, but we were shared by other guys in the room. Trudy surprised me in that she loved anal, and two of the guys did her at the same time. You know, what we just did before. Some of them tried again to get me to do that, but I made it plain that I was not into anal."
Don asked, "What about the other girl that was there?"
"A couple of guys took her to the bedroom, and others went in there with her during the night. I don't remember her really. I'm unsure if she stayed the night or left before we did."
"Why did you not like anal?" I asked.
"An uncle did that to me, and he hurt me. I mean, it really hurt." She paused, "Well, he wasn't actually an uncle, just a friend of my father's, but we called him uncle. It was long before I lost my virginity and in my bed at home. I don't think he came back to our place after that."
"Did you tell your mother?" I asked.
"Hell no! I've never told a soul about that, not even Trudy. It has been weighing on my conscience for years. My parents would have blamed me. They were very strict. I could never have told them."
Don again reached over and cuddled Hazel. "You could have told me. I would have understood, you know." He gave her a minute, then asked, "Did you go to any more parties?"
"Oh yes, the boys had a party at least once a month. I think Trudy and I attended most of them after that night. You see, it was a club. It had been running for a long time. As the guys left Uni, others replaced them. The four main protagonists always lived in the house. Pete had lived there, but when he finished Uni the year before, another guy had taken his place."
"I wondered if Pete was at the party when you said it was the same house?" I butted in.
"Yes, I'm glad he wasn't there. I still hate him and wonder sometimes about running into him somewhere."
