Very soon after Lisa got downstairs for the party, Pedro tracked her down. Calmly, he instructed her, "I need for you to go back upstairs to your room. The Commandante has asked to spend some time with you--alone. I told him you would be waiting for him there."
Lisa began to protest. "But the party is--."
Pedro stopped her. "Don't worry about the party. Your mother and I can take care of it. I need for you to do as you are told."
Still reluctant, Lisa asked, "What does my mother think of this?"
Guests for the party were already milling about. Roughly, Pedro pushed her underneath the staircase, where no one could see them. "Listen to me, you spoiled brat," he started. "Your mother agrees with me. And if you do not perform here to everyone's satisfaction, you and your mother will both suffer for it."
Defiantly, Lisa shot back, "You leave my mother out of this."
Pedro slapped her across the cheek. Right in her face, he snapped, "I have had all of the insolence I am taking from you, young lady." In a threatening tone, he went on, "She is my mate.

Taken aback, Lisa stammered, "Well, I thought we would--."
The Commandante interrupted her. "I don't have all night here. I have to get back downstairs to my wife. So strip and be quick about it." Silently, Lisa undressed. The Commandante did so at the same time. As Lisa pulled off her panties, he was then removing his underwear.
