ROOM 432
"Hey, James. What are you up to?" Ulysses asks his brother.
James' head pops up from his drink and boredom. Looking at his younger brother suspiciously. "You only use my government name when something is is going on. What's happened?"
Ulysses tries to shrug within a suit that he has never worn before and replies, "Nothing major. I was just hanging out with Maddy. And we got to talking about how bored we are."
"Uh huh," James grunts forcefully. "What are you up to you fucking Chaos Goblin? Is Madison in on this too?" James retorts not feeling like he should let down his guard.
"Sigh. I'm not trying to pull anything. Please don't come at me like that. Nothing has gone sideways. I was actually thinking about including you into something that Madison and I are planning. If you're not interested, I'll get out of your hair. But it requires secrecy. It's nothing inherently illegal, but can be highly embarrassing if the wrong people find out." Ulysses explains. He puts emphasis on the word 'wrong.'
"So you mean Paul's family. Understood." James confirms. "This is starting off interesting. So am I required to promise my silence in order to hear about this thing you're planning?" Ulysses nods. "Fine. You have my silence. What stupidity are you two cooking up?"
"Ok. So, Madison and I were both bored out of our minds and having a very strange conversation. Basically, we developed the thought about setting up a lottery type of thing based on the idea of 'Ten minutes in heaven." Ulysses pauses to gauge his older brother's reaction. James gives no indication of an opinion. "But we thought about making it all night long and using the hotel rooms as the closets, so to speak."
Quietly, James asks, "So, you're basically arranging a socially distanced orgy?"
Nervously, Ulysses blurts out, "No, no, no, just one partner for the entire night."
James motions for Ulysses to calm down and to lower his voice. "Chill, dude. The concept sounds fun. But you haven't given me all of the details yet."
Ulysses went on to explain the selection process and a quick preview of who has already expressed interest in the activity. James notices that most of the names are family members. Ulysses hopes that his lie of having others on board already won't be detected.
"Question. That sounds like a lot of our siblings. What's up with that?"
"I, well, I thought that, that would show that we're planning this for the people that we can trust. We do have a lot of the other guests as well... but, I, um, didn't want to you be angry if you found yourself in a room with family."
James thinks about it for a moment. "Ok, I'm not yet UNinterested. Are there any MILFs in this?"
"We've got a few on our list to ask. But we're asking people that we hope would say 'yes' first with minimal convincing."
Nodding his head, James thinks over the offer. "When would I have to let you know that I want to jump into this?"
"Just text me or Maddy by 5, I guess. We're going to do the selection after the rehearsal dinner tonight. If you want to join you'll need to give us both of your key cards in the bar before we do the lottery."
Laughing, "Shit. You're moving really fast on this. How horny is Madison?"
Looking around him before answering, "I think she's about to go after anyone if she doesn't get some sort of satisfaction soon. Like multiple people before we go home."
Still laughing, "I think I'm in. But I want to ask you one thing."
"What's that?"
"Can you make sure I get a MILF? You know that's my thing."
"Let me talk to Maddy."
Smiling wildly, James replies, "Bet!" and sticks out his hand to shake on it.
*****
James follows all of the amateurish attempts by his siblings to maintain secrecy. He lost count of how many times he has rolled his eyes at the comical efforts his eldest sister and younger brother have gone through to set up the activity. After Ulysses has distributed the keys in the first envelope he sends out a text. He dumps the second envelope onto the table, spreading them out.
Ulysses nervously waits. His phone pings. He reads a simple text of "432." He quickly pulls that card out of the pile. He then offers the remaining cards to his remaining family members. He glares at James when he starts to move towards the pile. James smiles softly and backs up, allowing the others to pick.
Once everyone has left. Ulysses offers the card that he pulled out to James. "This is the only MILF in the group that's worth it. Madison wasn't happy about your request." He pockets the last card.
Raising his eyebrows, "But you convinced her otherwise?"
"Yes. And I'm in deep shit with her for it."
"I'll help you out with that if the she's worth it." James pats Ulysses on the back.
As James turns to leave the room, Ulysses remarks, "She is definitely worth it. She was the hardest person to convince to join in the... fuckery."
Looking over his shoulder as he walks out, "I'll be the judge of that. But at least I know you put in maximum effort to help a brother out,"
"Do yourself a favor. Buy some flowers," Ulysses calls out.

Sarah nervously looks at her watch. She couldn't bear to be seen in the bar mingling with all of the potential...
She struggles to find a word to fit the situation. She finally settles on the word 'suitors.' She gets out of her car when it hits 9:02. She pops her trunk and grabs a carry on bag with all of her stuff that she'll need in order to avoid a 'walk of shame' in the morning.
After pushing the button to call the elevator, Sarah finally pulls out the key card to look at the number. 432. She thinks to herself, "Isn't that Ulysses' room? I'm not sure how I'd feel if I matched with him."
Sarah nervously moves about the elevator as she waits for it to get to her floor. She restrains herself from actually running out of the elevator. She exits in as controlled manner as possible. She lugs the bag down the hallway. As she is within reach of the room that she has mentally labeled as 'the den of sin,' she sees her niece Kylie waving at her as she enters Sarah's room. "What is that big freaking bag for?" Sarah mentally asks herself. "Is she moving into my room, or is she just that... depraved?"
Sarah slides her key card into the door. She's feels foolish feeling surprised when the lights on the handle turn green like this wasn't going to work. She slides into the room in the least suspicious way she can. As the door closes behind her, she takes a look around the room. She sees confirmation that the room is Ulysses'. His bags, laptop, cologne, and whatnot are spread around the room.
She sits down on the bed and does a couple of breathing exercises. She is trying to get her emotions under control. "What the fuck am I doing? I literally signed up for a blind date that is expecting sex. How fucked up have I become since Trent left?"
After a couple of minutes of calming herself down, Sarah busies herself with prepping the room. She starts by hiding Ulysses's items. Sarah then pulls out the things that she planned on using for a possible seduction. She quickly changed into a set of matching bra and panties. It's not the lingerie that she would prefer, but it's the best she has available on this trip. And under the time crunch. Draping one of the hotel's housecoats over herself she then moves around the room again. She sprays some of her perfume through the room, desperately hoping that the smell will wear off before Ulysses comes back into the room, but needing to feel more comfortable with her fucked up decision to participate in one of the most perverted things she's ever heard of.
Sarah turns the covers of the bed down, before she has the thought, "What if it's someone that I won't do this with? Never mind that. What if this is someone I can't do this with?" She nervously fidgets. She decides to busy herself with 'pretty-ing up' the room. After climbing into the bed, she continues to mess with the room's appearance. "Why is this not looking the way I want it? Will he understand why I'm decorating? Oh, fuck. Am I panicking?" She climbs back out of the bed to readjust everything.
The knock startles the shit out of her. She rushes to finish up with her preparations.
She realizes that she is bent over the bed when it dawns on her that her lottery partner is not only in the hotel room, but watching her.

Ulysses shouts over the music to the group of collected men, "9:15 guys. You're allowed to go back to your rooms."
