Ah, Christmas time. A time when the extended family gather together in our Great Grandparents' old house for a convivial season and holiday. Attendance mandatory, not ruled so by the Great Grands but by the next two generations below them, all of whom have an eye firmly on a future inheritance.
I can't help but feel some sympathy for some of them. When you have high expectations and the two old folk are in their nineties and seeming as fit as ever it must be disheartening.
Those of us in the fourth or fifth generation don't really give a flying fuck, not having any such expectations. (Except for Joseph. Good old Joseph is always smarming around the old couple, buttering them up and hoping for a quick fortune. He's out of luck in my opinion. The old man thinks he's a sleazy imbecile. The old girl's opinion isn't quite so flattering.)
There was a whole bunch of us staying in the actual house with the rest scattered around in a few guest houses on the property. When you own a three story mansion with umpteen bedrooms I guess you don't mind if you have a lot of visitors staying over, especially as it's the servants that do the actual work.
I'm Don, and I'm twenty. There were several others there about my age and we sort of formed our own little clique, staying together for mutual protection and amusement. The others were Michelle, nineteen, Janis, also nineteen, and Neil, twenty, same as me.
Our relationship to each other was a bit iffy. We weren't first or second cousins, or anything close. What with marriages, divorces, new marriages, children, half brothers and sisters, miscellaneous step children, it would take a spreadsheet to track all the relationships.
The mansion actually had two games rooms, one purely for billiards and the other for a range of games. Our little clique had staked out the billiards room as our private serfdom, scowling at any of the younger ones who dared to intrude while we were in attendance. They rather quickly decided not to bother us, more interested in the electronic gear in the main games room.
We had quite natural paired up to a certain extent, me with Janis and Neil with Michelle. Janis and I had what I suppose you could call a quiet relationship, getting on quite comfortably with each other. Neil and Michelle enjoyed a rather stormy relationship, constantly fighting. I say enjoyed it because they must have to still be fighting after several days. If you want to know what they were fighting about then you're not the only one. I don't think even they knew. I suspect it was something new each day.
They were at it again one morning while we were down in the billiards room. Neil was ensconced on the couch and Michelle was standing in front of him, gesticulating and almost jumping up and down as she tried to make her point. If she got any more excited I suspected she'd start frothing at the mouth.
Janis and I were sharing an armchair (no, she wasn't on my lap, but sitting on the arm of the chair) and watching with amusement. Things took a turn for the worse when Michelle started swearing at Neil. A silly thing to do as Neil just plain doesn't like swearing, being a bit prudish that way.
Being a rather direct young man who had warned Michelle of how he felt about a young lady swearing he decided to take direct action. He grabbed Michelle and had her draped over his lap in nothing flat. With that he flipped her dress up out of the way and dropped a nice firm spank on her bottom.
I started moving as soon as I saw what was going to happen and I was standing next to him by the time the second spank landed, accompanied by some quite remarkable sound effects from Michelle. She apparently didn't appreciate it now that she had his full attention.
"Hold it, Neil," I said, and he paused, looking up at me. Michelle also turned to look at me, a look of relief flitting across her face.
"If you're going to do something then do it properly," I told Neil, at the same time taking hold of Michelle's panties and tugging them firmly down.
I returned to my seat to the sound of a hand slapping down on a bare bottom and a horrified shriek from Michelle, somewhat muffled as there was no way known she wanted anyone coming in to investigate the reason for the screaming.
"Oh, Lord, you can see everything," whispered an appalled sounding Janis, although being appalled didn't stop her watching the action. "She's going to kill him for this. You, too, I'll bet."
"Possibly, but I think you'll find that the spanking will be the least of her problems," I said.
"What do you mean?" she asked and I gave her an evil smile.
"Just keep watching. I'll bet his hand starts landing here and rubbing her between spanks," I explained. As an adjunct to my explanation my hand slipped between her legs and up under her dress, closing over her mound and rubbing.
She gave a startled little cry and clamped her legs together which had the unintended effect of also clamping my hand firmly against her vulva. She gave another little cry at that and relaxed her legs.
"Shift your hand," she hissed at me.
"Relax," I said, "and watch the fun and games over yonder. All I'm going to do right now is just touch you up a little so you have nothing to worry about."
"I don't care. Just stop it," she snapped, keeping her voice down and most of her attention on Neil and Michelle.
From the wriggling around that Michelle was doing I assumed that she wasn't a hundred percent happy with the way things were going. Neil was still delivering the occasional spank, talking quietly while he did so, but most of the time his hand was between her legs, busy stirring her up.
To give credit where it is due I was fairly certain that Michelle was protesting the liberties that Neil was taking. (I know Janis was, even if it was in whispers, not wanting the others to know.) Neil, on the other hand, was suffering from selective deafness, not hearing a word Michelle was saying.
I watched in amusement, only stopping to warn Janis to behave when it looked as though she was thinking of scratching my hand.
"It's just a bit of teasing," I assured her. "You don't have to worry about the next step until after Neil has entertained Michelle."
Janis went dead still for a moment.
"What do you mean, entertained?" she demanded.
"Take a look at the way he's adjusting her position on the couch. Then you can tell me what you think I mean."
