Zoe Carmichael walked into the Ladies Auxiliary meeting and smiled. She'd only been in town two days, and she was already making friends. Her next-door neighbor, Leslie Durham, the minister's wife, had stopped by right after the movers left with an apple pie and an invitation.
Zoe was a single mother and her nineteen-year-old son, Sean, was completely infatuated with the smiling, blue-eyed minister's wife. He had practically fallen all over himself when she had asked if he wanted to make some extra money mowing the lawn at her house.
The meeting hall was filled with women Zoe's age - she hadn't even asked Leslie what the Ladies Auxiliary was. Looking around, she wished she had at least asked what to wear.
She felt horribly underdressed in the auditorium full of women wearing short dresses and skirts, makeup and hair done just so.
In her jeans and blouse, she felt like a frump.
A smiling brunette walked toward her through the crowd. She wore a dress made from what looked like red leather. She held out her hand. "Margaret Cox," she said.
"I'm Zoe..."
"Yes, I know. Leslie told me all about you," the woman said. Her lips were exactly the same shade of deep red as her dress.
Margaret Cox's eyes were a brilliant blue.
They almost glowed.
Zoe felt lightheaded. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Where is Leslie?"
"Oh, she's at home. She couldn't make it today." Margaret took her hand and led her to a seat near the front.
"This group? The Ladies Auxiliary? What is it the Auxiliary of exactly?" Zoe asked as she sat down beside the leggy brunette.
Margaret smiled. "Oh, we're a religious organization."
"Really? You mean Baptists like Leslie."
"Umm, not exactly."
Zoe realized she was staring at the woman's very full breasts. She looked up quickly and found herself staring into the blue eyes.
Something wasn't quite right. Zoe tore her eyes away from Margaret Cox and looked around the room.
Everybody seemed to be staring at her.
Staring at her with blue eyes.
"Wait..."
All of the women had the same piercing blue eyes as Margaret.
And, they were all tall with long legs and full breasts.
Zoe jumped when Margaret put her hand on the side of her face. She stared directly into Margaret's eyes.
"You're not afraid. Everything is fine. Just relax," Margaret said.
Zoe felt warm. She relaxed in the seat and smiled.
The women in the seats around her were all leaning closer to her.
Margaret whispered, "We're all friends here, Zoe."
Zoe nodded slowly.
The crowd began to clap.
The sound broke Zoe's stupor.
Margaret winked and turned toward the podium.
A woman stepped up to the microphone. "Good morning, ladies, for those of you who are new, I am Mistress Stacie Fuchs, MILF Whore, Whore Caste, and this is the weekly meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Church of Morpheus."
"What?!" Zoe whispered.
"Shh," Margaret soothed and stared into her eyes. "Everything is just fine. Nothing to worry about. You're safe and warm, Zoe."
Zoe felt herself growing drowsy. "Safe... warm..."
"Today, we have two new MILFs to welcome to the Church. Mistress Zoe Carmichael, and Mistress Justine Reynolds," Stacie Fuchs said. Her eyes narrowed as she looked out over the crowd.
Margaret stood up. "I have Zoe right here, but it looks like Justine missed the meeting."
Stacie frowned. "Well, no matter. We'll just check on Mistress Reynolds later. "She stepped away from the podium and knelt in front of Zoe.
Zoe stared into Stacie Fuchs's mesmerizing blue eyes.
"Hello, Zoe. Are you afraid?"
"Huh? No," Zoe whispered. She felt like she was floating.
"Good. We don't want you to be frightened. Are you lonely?"
Lonely? Why was this woman asking her that? "I... no."
Stacie stared into her eyes. "Zoe. You can tell me the truth. Everyone here is your friend. We all want to be your best friends. You're single, aren't you?"
Zoe felt like she was melting into the auditorium chair. "Yes."
"Were you married?"
"Yes."
"Where is your husband?"
"Left me... years ago when my son was young."
Stacie stroked her hair. "Has there been anyone else since he left you?"
"Hmm? No. Nobody else."
"Then I ask you again: are you lonely?"
Zoe teared up. "Yes."
Stacie nodded. She spoke louder. "This is the trap of society. Here is a beautiful, vibrant woman, who gives everything to raise her child. She sacrifices her own pleasure - and she does so willingly, for the good of her son. If she takes a lover, she's branded a slut. If she takes a husband, she gambles that he will be good to her child and herself. This is why our way is better."
She smiled at Zoe. "Bring her to the stage," Stacie said as she returned to the podium.
Margaret took Zoe's hand and led her to the stage.
"What's happening? I don't want to be up here," Zoe whispered.
"Shh, yes, you do," Margaret whispered.
Zoe looked out at the crowd. There had to be over a hundred women in the room.
And, a lot of them were kissing.
"Wait... why?"
"You know, I would have been just as freaked out as you a few weeks ago," Margaret said.
And, then she kissed her.
The room erupted in 'ooh's and 'ahh's.
Margaret's lips were sweet, her tongue insistent.
Zoe almost fell, but the woman held her up. Her head fell back as Margaret broke the kiss.
She slowly opened her eyes.
"You will never be lonely again," Margaret said.
"Why... are you... doing this?" Zoe whispered. She felt like she was dreaming.
"We're saving you from this world," Margaret said.
Zoe looked into her eyes. The irises seemed to be moving, wheels turning within wheels.
"You aren't afraid. Think about how lonely you've been? That's what you should be afraid of, Zoe. Not me. Not us."
Zoe nodded. That made sense. She felt alive standing on this stage in the auditorium filled with women - women who were taking off their clothes and falling together in couples, threesomes, and even larger groups.
"It's beautiful, Zoe. We all love each other. We're never lonely. You want to be one of us, don't you?"
Zoe shook her head. "Not... lesbian."
Margaret laughed and it was a beautiful sound that made her warm. It made Zoe smile.
"We're not lesbians, Zoe. We're bisexual. Best of both worlds. You want that, don't you?"
