It's All About Faith Pt. 02

Chapter Twenty Five


When Buck and Anita arrived, they shared their usual quick embrace and a glancing kiss on the cheek before Laura said, "You know I think you even look more relaxed."

"I feel relaxed and yet energized."

"And you Mitch, how did you survive Layla's shopping?"

"I actually got into it and had a great time. I like to think I even helped her a little."

"Layla?"

"Yes, he did. He even picked out a couple of things that I bought."

"I think I just felt the earth tremble just a little. Mitch, are you on medication?"

He laughed and said, "Nope. It's part of the new me."

"Uh huh. Okay I'll leave you to your illusions...or delusions, whichever it is."

"Buck, anything to say," Mitch asked.

"What? Oh no, when talk is about shopping I tend to lose focus."

The four of them collected their cups of coffee and went to the living room to continue the visit. "So what did you two do while we were gone," Layla asked.

Buck was tasting his coffee so Anita said, "Not much of anything at all, boring time actually. So I want to hear more about your shopping event. What kind of stores?"

"Oh, your basic antique stores..."

"I mean clothes."

"A couple of small boutiques, for such little shops, they had an impressive inventory, and they were very helpful. You know, offering good suggestions."

"I like those kinds of stores better than the big ones. You find more unique items rather than everybody having the same thing situation."

"I agree, especially those stores."

"So where did you go anyway?"

"We spent a little time just browsing the antique stores as we drove...and we ended up in that little town just as our car broke down."

"Oh no, how bad?"

"Bad enough to strand us for a few days, and in a town we knew nothing about . It was a parts availability issue. So we ate at the two restaurants in town and stayed at the only motel in town. Walked up and down the one street through town and shopped. Oh and met a lot of nice people too."

"Sounds very relaxing...and boring."

"We weren't bored at all. Our room was very nice, and we watched a little TV and...their mayor is called a guide. Isn't that quaint? We met him and actually spent quite some time with him and learned some of the history, and we soon learned how they manage to survive while other small towns are overloaded with abandoned stores."

"Good for them, but I have a hard time imagining your type A personality in that environment."

"I got rid of my type A problem, at least for those days." Mitch was very willing to just listen while the women talked and it appeared that Buck was feeling the same way. In fact, Mitch refilled their cups while the women continued to talk, but he listened closely.

"Mitch, what the hell did you do with yourself," Buck asked.

"Stuck with Layla, I was even permitted to smile and flirt with a few of the local ladies." Buck just smiled and nodded and waited for more information. "Really, that's about it. We enjoyed their seasonal celebration and drank Long Island iced teas as we walked. The weather was warm and clear the whole time we were there, so all we wore the whole time was shorts."

"And skirts," Layla added. I wore that skirt a couple of times."

"Right, and the skirt." He wasn't about to be the first one to even mention that.

"Okay," Buck continued, "Where is this town, and what's the name?"

"Discovery."

"That's the name of the town? Never heard of it."

"They refer to it as a village because of its small size, and we'd never heard of it either. I'd have to write the directions down for you to find it because it's in the middle of nowhere. That's one reason why they work so hard to keep the town healthy. It's about five hours from here the way we went. Of course, there's probably a shorter way, but we weren't interested in speed. When we finally found the town, the car was overheated and almost out of gas so we were very fortunate. Cell phones don't work out there either."

"In the middle of nowhere, just like you said."

"Yep. They don't often see tourists, so they were a little suspicious of us at first. We were outsiders invading their little world and I can understand that. Once they decided we couldn't bite, they warmed right up and adopted us." He liked it better when Layla was leading the parade and he could just sit there.

Anita took over again and Mitch was good with that. "Layla, show me what you bought."

"Oh...um sure come to the bedroom."

"What about me," Buck asked. 

As she followed Layla, Anita tossed over her shoulder, "You don't like shopping talk remember, honey."

"Okay," Buck continued, "So what's the real story here?"

"No real story. Layla and I shopped."

"We both know there's more than that. I've never known you to just shop for women's clothes."

"I'm almost ashamed to say this, but I really did stare at and talk to the local ladies. They were so damn friendly, and in some cases, very easy to look at. That helped the shopping thing a lot."

"Mitch, I can't believe you just said that."

"Like I said, I should be ashamed, but I'm not. Oh, it wasn't like I was lusting after all of them, of course," he lied.

"Good to hear."

"The food there is nothing fancy, but it's good and Blanche, the lady that owns the motel is really nice."

"Yeah, and what is a motel doing out in the middle of nowhere?"

"I suspect it was there when the town was doing better, but Blanche is retired now, so it isn't critical that she have a lot of business. She owns and runs it, and she has one gal that helps out sometimes."

"So low overhead and no fears of starving."

"Right. Besides, I'm sure the old place was paid for a long time ago."

"So, no newspaper?"

Mitch laughed and said, "No newspaper, no phones or cell phones or internet. Well, the phones should be back in service in another couple of weeks."

"No internet and no cell service?"

"None. Now there is talk of getting satellite internet service for the village, but that's down the road a ways. There will be land lines for internet, but that would be so slow you'd give up in frustration."

"I'm still trying to draw a mental picture of this..."

"Wide spot in the road."

"That's the picture I'm getting."

"But with much more charm and friendliness. Go up there and check it out. You just might be very surprised by what you find. I'm sure we missed a whole lot, but that means, we'll just have to go back next year."


Chapter Twenty Six 


While the men were talking, Anita was sitting on the side of the bed as Layla pulled out the long skirt with the long split. "Oh Layla, that's nice..." and then she saw the split and looked up at her friend. "Oh my, did you try that on?"

"Of course I did."

"But you...your leg...you'll be showing a whole lot of skin."

"It isn't so bad, but it does create quite an effect when I walk."

"Well of course it does. I can't believe you bought it."

"I just liked the fit and the feel of it. I probably won't wear it a lot, but I like having it." Next were the panties. 

"Layla, you sinner you, oh my...wow, they are sexy. They really are comfortable?"

"Like a silk glove. Try a pair on, my vacation gift to you. I bought eight pair I like them so much."

Even though they were both women, Anita turned her back before she stripped and slipped the panties on. "Oh yes, they really are nice," and she moved over to the dressing mirror in the corner. She turned left and right slowly as she held her blouse up and studied her form. One hand went down and she caressed her belly and butt as she checked the fit and the look. "Thank you Layla, I really do like them."

"Tell Buck he has to take you to Discovery so you can go shopping."

"I will, but he's going to sputter and complain."

"It's good for him, gives him a chance to please you."

Then the top came out that was designed to be worn without a bra, "Very nice lines and color, good color for you Layla."

"I think so too. I'll tell you a secret but you can't tell Buck."

"Oh really, what?" 

"It's designed to be worn without a bra. Very sexy and it makes me feel young and so stylish and cutting edge."

"You'd go out without a bra?"

"Well I haven't yet," she lied. "But I think I'm going to just once to see what it's like."

"I can't believe you girl."

"I know, I can't believe myself either. Okay, I'm going to show you one more thing, but this isn't for wearing in public. This is for teasing Mitch. Turn around while I change."

"Oh this sounds interesting."

A minute later Anita was allowed to turn around and as she stared at Layla she smiled but she said, "Oh my God, you sure couldn't go out in those. It looks like those shorts were sprayed on and they ran out of paint."

"Aren't these sinful? And..." and without turning away she pulled them down and added, "No panties. I don't know why guys like it so much, but no panties seem to get them going.

Anita's eyes got bigger as she looked between Layla's legs for the first time in the three years they had known each other. "Well Mitch sure will be teased."

"He picked them out for me."

Anita smiled and said, "Now isn't that just like a man. I suppose he told you to wear them in public."

"No, but I teased him with that idea."

"You two really did have a good time."

"We were like kids in some ways. Irresponsible and careless and carefree, it was all very cathartic."

"Cathartic or erotic."

"Both," and they giggled like kids.

"It sounds like it. I can almost imagine Buck seeing you right now."

"Oh no, I'd hate to think of what his opinion of me would be."

"Well as long as you don't wear them in public. I mean they cover a lot more than even a modest bikini."

"But I don't even own one of those."

"Let's go show Buck, and while he's staring at you, I'll tell him I want to go to Discovery."

"Okay, if you're sure you don't mind, but let me do one more thing," and she got her tall black high heels out and slipped them on. Again Anita's face lit up.

"Oh Buck will be eating out of my hand now. If you have the nerve let's go, if not, I'll understand of course."

"Let's do it before I lose my courage," one more deception for her friend because she was eager to show Buck and surprise Mitch.

"I'll say one thing Layla, when you shave your legs you have to shave all the way up."

"Well as you saw I do."

Anita's cheeks went pink as she said, "I wasn't going to say anything. How long have you shaved down there?"

"Quite awhile, again it was for Mitch so I keep it that way."

"He's so spoiled. Okay let's go shock the boys. Oh wait, let me go tell Buck and then you come out."

Layla smiled and said, "I'll be listening so don't talk too softly."

Anita went out and went straight to Buck and told him, "Honey I want to go to Discovery to shop."

"Okay."

"What? No argument?"

"Well when, I guess I should ask."

"Well...Layla," and she watched the men as Layla appeared in her tiny tight shorts and high heels. "When would you like to go, Buck," she asked with a smile, but Buck said nothing. "Honey, would you like me to buy a pair of those shorts to wear for you?"

"But not in public right?"

"Now what do you think, of course not."

Looking at Layla, Buck asked, "You really bought those shorts in Discovery?"

"We did."

"Did any of the locals wear them in public?"

"Several of them in fact."

He looked at Mitch and said, "Checking the local scenery, right. You sleaze," but Buck was smiling.

Hey, I didn't lie."

Buck turned to Anita and told her, "Okay honey, how about say, Wednesday we go to Discovery."

The only one that didn't laugh was Buck. He was serious.

"Okay honey, Wednesday morning."

"Oh there is one thing," Mitch said. "When you go you have to pretend that you got there because you were lost and you don't know us."

It was Buck's turn to laugh. "Okay, what did you do to get into trouble?"

"I'll save further comment, but be sure to follow those two rules."

"So we are to be lost and confused travelers."

"And tired of being on the road."

"Should we be writing a script to follow?"

Mitch just smiled and said, "Just have an open mind and enjoy your shopping experience."

"The more you tell us the more curious we are."

"It's a curious kind of place, very unique actually."

"So now it's a curious place too, one more tidbit of information."

"Ready for more coffee everybody," and Layla didn't wait for the answer. She swayed her way to the kitchen and swayed back with the pot and refilled the cups and then swayed her way back to the kitchen. The pot was empty and could have waited, but it was one more chance for Buck and even Anita to check her out.

After Buck and Anita left, Layla said, "It's nice that they can just pick a day and go like that."

"The benefits of being not just the boss, but the owner of Logan Heating and air conditioning."

"Wouldn't it be nice if we had that flexibility?"

Mitch put his arms around her and said, "You are so mean. Poor Buck didn't know what to say or do and he had little success controlling his eyes."

"Just for the record that was Anita's idea, and I questioned her just to be sure. She really wants to go and she was afraid he'd say he couldn't get away or something."

"And now poor Buck has to go shopping with Anita."

"Shopping like they have never experienced it before." 

As they drove home Anita teased Buck saying, "Well, didn't you get your eyes full tonight."

"What the hell brought that on?"

"I told Layla to walk out like that. I want to go to Discovery and I thought that sight might inspire you."

"Well it sure worked. Her legs looked a mile long."

"Well some of that were the high heels."

"Oh...she was wearing shoes?" Anita just smiled and looked ahead.


Chapter Twenty Seven


Anita was the picture of efficiency Wednesday morning. Their bag was packed, breakfast made, and she had Buck at the table before nine. "Let me guess Anita, you want to do some shopping today yet."

"Well yes, but we need to just check the place out and see what we can learn first. I mean if this is a sleepy little town in the country, and the women wear clothes like that, there has to be more to discover."

"Your mind never stops working does it?"

"Thoughts just pop into my mind." They were on the road twenty minutes later and going down the unmarked road about four hours later. 

Buck saw the sign first, Welcome to Discovery, and smiled at Anita. "Well good or bad, here we are." He drove very slowly as they checked out the stores. Then Anita gasped and said, "Oh my God Buck, that is a porn store."

"It can't be."

"It said Jim's Emporium, adult toy store, so what would you think."

"That's unbelievable." Anita almost missed the first boutique and then she saw the second one and she smiled, just as Layla had described them. They saw Ethel's and Ma's kitchen, Dwayne's, and then the motel.

Both of them went in to get a room and Blanche was there with her ready smile, "Hi folks."

"Hi. We're so lost, but we're tired of riding around and couldn't have been happier when we saw your motel."

"Glad you found us, just one night?"

"I don't know. We're running away from city life for a few days, so it doesn't matter if we stay here, or someplace else, so I guess we'll say two nights and then decide." "Okay then," and she signed them in. Buck watched her slide the credit card through the reader and it occurred to him that wouldn't work unless there was a phone connection. Maybe they got it fixed. They were set up with room three just as Layla and Mitch had been and they were satisfied with the room. After resting a few minutes they went back out and Blanche caught them as they went by and gave them her speech. "Just so you'll know, everybody here is friendly and nice, but they may seem a little aloof at first. Just give them some time because we see so few strangers that it takes awhile."

"We understand," Anita said. "What do you recommend for a late lunch?"

"Ma's kitchen for lunch and Ethel's for dinner." If and when they ever compared detailed notes with Layla and Mitch, they would learn how identical every experience would be, at least in the beginning.

Grace took good care of Buck and Anita and reinforced what Blanche had told them about the people in town and then asked, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"

"Shopping I think," Anita said. "We saw those boutiques as we came into town and I'm curious."

"They have some very nice things and the prices can't be beat considering the fine quality."

"One better than the other one?"

"Nope, all depends on what catches your eye."

They took their time and walked up the street and on past the antique store and it was about then that Buck saw her. "Damn Anita, look at that."

"No, just like Layla said, shorts about like Layla's, but look at that top, there's hardly anything to it."

"I am looking, but I can't believe it. Right out here in public no less." He continued to watch her and then added, "Well at least she's not fat."

"No she certainly isn't fat. Careful Buck, or you'll fall off the curb," and she gave him a crooked smile. 

They didn't go much farther when somebody came out of a door and almost ran into them. "I'm so sorry; I should be paying attention to what I'm doing."

"That's okay, no harm done."

"I'm Hank Witherspoon, but call me Hank. I'm the village guide...or mayor in other places."

"Nice to meet you Hank," Buck said and held out his hand.

"Village is so small; it isn't hard to know you're new in town."

"That's right. We got so lost and just happened to find you about the same time we were getting tired of riding around."

"That's about the only way we get guests here. Staying long?"

"Couple of days and then we'll decide what to do."

"I predict you'll come to love our little town and choose to stay. At least I hope that's the case. If you're at Ethel's come dinner time I'll buy you two dinner and we can visit then."

"That would be great and thanks."

"My pleasure, let's say about six thirty then."

"See you then and nice to meet you."

As Hank walked away Anita said, "Well, he certainly wasn't aloof."

"That's quite a greeting for a small village. I'm impressed."

They went into Alice's boutique first, and in minutes Anita was finding things she liked. "Now honey, go slow and wait until you check the other place. We have all the time in the world."

"Okay, you're right. Oh look, there are those shorts. I just have to have a pair of them."

"What for?"

"To wear for you, of course," that put a smile on his face. "You don't wear panties under them." Buck stopped what he was doing and said, "Say that again?"

"No panties under the shorts because of ugly panty lines and shadows."

"You mean to tell me that Layla wasn't wearing panties the other day?"

"That's right." Buck was speechless and she wondered if he was quickly recalling seeing her standing in front of him when she modeled them. As she watched him she knew for sure that she had to have those shorts. "Oh, look honey, here's the top...never mind you weren't in there. She showed me one of these. They really look nice on."

"And here's the top we saw on that woman awhile ago."

"Buck, I have to buy one of those for Layla. She'll love wearing that for Mitch. The store was empty of other customers and it was another minute before a woman came out and said, "Hi, can I help you find anything?"

"We're just looking."

"Take your time and if you need anything at all just call out. I'm Wendy."

"Nice to meet you, Wendy," Buck said with a smile. As soon as they were alone again Anita said, "Shame on you."

"What did I do?"

"You were ogling Wendy."

"Okay guilty, but you get to shop so I need something to do."


It's All About Faith Pt. 02



"You can help me shop like Mitch did for Layla."

They left the store and walked past Jim and Delia's store but not without trying to look through the windows as they went. They crossed the street and made their way to the other boutique and wandered through that store. She showed Buck the panties that Layla had bought and said, "I'll get some of these before we leave. Layla bought several pair and gave me one. They are so sexy and comfortable. Again Buck's eyes were taking in the image, and this time Anita was certain he was back at their house trying in vain to picture Layla in those panties. "What do you think, will I look as good in them as you think Layla looks in them?"

"I don't know."

"You were picturing her in them just now."

"Why are you trying to get my mind going where it has no business going? You're teasing the heck out of me."

"You poor thing," they worked their way back to the front but went out empty handed again, "Buck, fair warning, I'm finding a lot of things I like or am very curious about."

"Well, have at it because it's likely to be a very long time before we get back here.

"The village is very quiet, but then I guess people are working."

"Doing what, we're in the middle of nowhere."

"Farming maybe or telecommuting."

"Not without internet service."

"Oh, right. Well you got to see that one woman scantily dressed."

"That's right, and maybe I'll see a lot more after the afternoon shift lets out."

"What afternoon shift?"

"Just making a joke, honey."

"If that's what you want to call it...oh there you go again, babe number two for you."

"Well I'll be damned, Layla was right again."

"Now don't hurt yourself."

"I don't get it. If we were home and I gawked at a woman, you wouldn't be pleased with me, but here you are pointing them out."

"Layla warned me what we would see so I came prepared I guess. Besides, she doesn't look as naked as the other one, very sexy, just not as naked."

"Nice shoes too," and they smiled at each other.

Anita slipped her arm around his waist and said, "Let me guess, we won't be spending much time lounging in our room." 

He put his arm around her and said, "This is nice. We never do this at home because it looks tacky, but I like it."

"I do too. Maybe we need to rethink the tacky rule."

"Good idea." Then he saw an older woman in one of the very short skirts and once again he stared. "Well, damn would you look at that."

"Is that skirt short enough for you?"

"She looks pretty damn nice."

"For her age."

"Well, yeah. But really she just looks nice. Sexy, of course, and she'd have trouble sitting down but..."

"I know, nice. Now wasn't it you that once said that wasn't appropriate?"

"Well okay so I did, but that was a long time ago."

"And you're becoming more liberal as you age, is that it?"

"Hell I don't know. Maybe it's just because were out of town and can let our hair down."

"Maybe that's it," and she just smiled to herself. "All you had to do was see an unusual number of sexy women and your whole belief system is melting like ice in the summer sun."

"Well, that's overstating it just a little."

"We'll see, honey. Let's go back and buy a few of the things I want to get."


Chapter Twenty Eight


Wendy was at the counter when they returned and began shopping again and Buck's job was to hold her selections as she went along. It was very much like Layla had done. Slacks, a mini skirt, one top like Layla's, and then another one called a tie top, similar to what the first woman was wearing. A couple of more modest tops, and then one she found for Layla, or really, for Mitch, a simple white snug fitting top with a large collar that came around the very low scoop neckline. Then it stopped just under the breasts and tied like a tie front top. Holding up the last one, Anita pointed to the picture on the display and said, "Would Mitch like to see Layla in this one?" She knew the answer, but she was still teasing her now confused husband. 

"Well, assuming Mitch hasn't gone blind since we left, I'd have to say yes."

"Okay, then I'll get one for me too...well rather for you too." 

"Let me take those for you," It was Wendy to the rescue again and she relieved Buck of his arm load. Her shorts were more modest, but not by a whole lot, and her hips had that sweet movement that men of all ages like to see. Then two packages of panties, again very similar to Layla's.

They made their way to the back counter and Wendy held up the one light top like Layla's and said, "Just in case you're not aware, this top is designed for and looks best if you don't wear a bra under it."

"Oh really," Anita said as she smiled innocently to Buck. "Well honey, make yourself comfortable and I'll try all of these things on. Um, where is the dressing room, Wendy?"

"That carpeted area over in the corner. There's a nice comfortable chair for Buck and he can give you his opinion as you try everything on." Anita swallowed hard and stared at Wendy like she hadn't heard what she said.

She cleared her throat and managed a weak, "No dressing room?"

"Nope. The women that shop here, like to get opinions as they try things on, so their friends join her and get comfortable on the sofa or chair." She looked at Buck who was just as shocked as she was. "Well, I'll leave you to try these things on and I'll check on you pretty soon and see how you're doing. Oh, and what bra size do you wear?"

She didn't even think about why that question would be asked. Um...uh, a size thirty four B usually," and Wendy left them to work it out. "Honey what do I do?"

He shrugged his shoulders and looked around just as Mitch had done and considered her options. Well, you try them on or you don't buy them I guess. At least the store is empty and the streets weren't busy at all."

Her hand went to her forehead like that would help her think and then her hand combed through her hair. "Damn it, I'll bet Layla knew all about this."

"Well, she must because I'm sure she tried her things on before she bought them."

"I'll get her for this. She's probably having a laughing fit over this."

"Gee, what a friend," and Buck couldn't help but laugh at her predicament. 

"I'll deal with her later, and if she can do it then so can I." Then she proceeded to strip as she moved over to the changing area with Buck right behind her and his arms full again.

With her selections piled on a large side table, Buck picked his spot to watch his wife get nearly naked in the store. He chose that spot so he could see the front door and warn Anita if danger was approaching. 

Buck and Mitch were friends because they thought so much alike, right down to Buck taking cell phone pictures of his wife as she stripped and tried on different garments. She was starting a keep pile and a rejection pile, and Buck noticed there was one garment on the rejection pile and the rest of the keep pile. And they still had the other boutique to go to. What if they didn't have a dressing room either he wondered. 

Buck offered his opinion every so often even if she didn't ask for it. Of course she had the final say. "Miss," Wendy said as she approached, "These bras just came in yesterday. They're so super comfortable. In fact I'm wearing a thirty six B of this very bra right now and it's fantastic." Damn, now Buck even knew what bra size Wendy wore. "Here let me help you out of yours and try this on. If it isn't the nicest bra you've ever had, I'll give you one of those packages of panties which you'll love too by the way. Wendy unhooked Anita's bra for her and then held out one of the new bras as Buck sat there too stunned to even take a photo. His wife was now standing there in just her panties and in plain sight.

"Hey Wendy, packages for you."

"Thanks Bert, just put them on the counter as usual."

"Will do, hi folks," and he went about his business while Anita stood there shaking and staring at Bert as he looked at her tits for a few seconds. Poor Buck wasn't even breathing.

Wendy went on like nothing had happened. "Okay, now how does that feel," as her hands went all over Anita's breasts. "Yes, nice smooth...no that model won't work. It's pouching a little on the sides. Let's try another one." It was the same ritual again, and again Wendy's hands were all over Anita's breasts as Wendy surveyed the fit. "These are much better, but let's try the other one to be sure. Nothing is more important than a bra that fits correctly." Anita was a statue now and Buck had recovered enough to take some shots of Wendy and Anita doing the bra test fit routine. For the third time Anita stood there as Wendy's hands explored and caressed. Anita made the mistake of looking over at Buck as he sat there taking pictures and his cock pushing against his linen shorts. Anita felt like she wanted to reach out to Wendy for balance because her world just swayed a little.

"Okay now, this is the one. What do you think...what's your name?"

"An...Anita."

"Love that name. Okay Anita, what do you think of this bra? Is it comfortable or what?"

"It really is very comfortable."

"I knew you'd like it. Oh, take that off and while we're at it, you can try on the blouse without the bra. You'll see how nice it fits." Anita just took her bra off and tossed it aside. It was far too late now. Hell even Bert had seen her in her panties and her breasts exposed. Who cared if some woman came in now?

As Anita slipped on the mini skirt she half innocently asked, "So with no dressing rooms, what if I wanted to put on a pair of my new panties?"

Wendy just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Just change. I could even give you a small plastic bag for the ones you're wearing."

"Oh...just curious," So Layla had stripped naked where she was standing now. Unbelievable was all she could come up with. Damn it, so Layla would have the bragging rights because she was totally naked. Anita got an evil expression and reached for a package of panties as Buck's eyebrows went up. Wendy stood by and casually watched Anita as she peeled her panties off and left them on the floor next to her as she fumbled to open the package. 

"Sorry Wendy, I left a package that wasn't yours."

"Help yourself Bert," and Wendy didn't even look toward him.

"See ya next week maybe," and he was gone again. Anita was ready to cry now. It was like a conspiracy. All she had to do was get naked and men seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Sorry about the interruption, Anita, but some days that side door seems to just keep popping open."

"Oh...right, the side door. She was afraid Wendy was going to have to help her dress, but she made it and took a deep breath of relief. Wendy gathered the garments from the keep pile and Anita picked up the panties she had worn. With purchases paid for they walked out and Anita said, "I have to go back to the motel," and she didn't even wait for Buck to respond. In fact he had to move quickly to keep up with her.


Chapter Twenty Nine


As soon as Buck closed the door to their room she threw herself into his arms and cried. "I'm so sorry Buck," and she cried some more.

"Anita, honey, it's okay, it was just an accident."

"Accidents damn it, plural, two accidents. Bert saw me naked. He saw, he saw...damn it, he saw my tits and my pussy okay? He saw all of me." He held her close and kissed her cheek unsure of what to say. "Damn it, and you sat there with an erection. You sat right there and watched Bert whoever the hell he is, stare at me."

"Honey, I didn't see him until he said something. I was watching the front door. I didn't even know there was a side door. I know he saw you naked honey, but it's okay."

She looked at him with wide eyes and said in a loud voice, "It's okay? What...well, why don't I just parade down the middle of the street naked then?"

"Whoa, settle down okay? I know he saw you naked, but you didn't mean for that to happen, nor did any of us. Even Wendy wasn't aware that Bert was coming I'm sure."

"Oh sure, defend Wendy, the Wendy who had her hands all over my tits by the way."

That one made Buck smile. "Yes, is that something they normally do?"

"Well, I've never had it happen anyway."

"But you got a very nice fitting bra."

"Well yes, but I didn't need her caressing me to know the bra fit me."

"Well I don't know what to tell you about that one honey, but no harm was done right?"

She took a breath as she tried to settle down and said, "I don't know. Okay, I guess, not but that was such a strange feeling. I'm surprised she didn't have her hands between my legs to check the fit of my panties."

He kissed her and pulled her chin up so she'd look at him. He smiled and said, "No, checking how your panties fit is my job." She couldn't help but smile at him. "Are you sure you're not mad?"

"I'm not mad at anybody about anything. Layla and Mitch told us this place would be unique and interesting."

"I'll get them somehow. They set me up."

"They set us up because I had to just sit there and watch."

"And get hard."

"And get hard, right."

Then she looked between his legs and smiling said, "I guess you aren't mad unless you get sexually excited when you're mad."

"I get sexually excited when I see you naked, of course seeing you naked in the middle of the store got to me too."

"Buck, what are you saying?"

"I can't help it, honey. I'm as surprised by that as you are."

"I'm beyond surprised. And what about Wendy's hands all over me?"

"I'm still working on that one, but in a way, that was sexy."

"Why?"

"Well if that was a guy I'd deck him, but with it being a woman, it seems to change everything...I mean, for how I see it from the stand point of jealousy.

She reached between his legs and feeling his erection she said, "So you got a boner because I was naked and another guy saw me."

"When you say it that way, I have to question myself, but that is what happened. Like I said, At least he didn't try to touch you."

She took another breath and just leaned against his chest. We've been here long enough to have lunch and do a little shopping and all of this has happened. And we're staying for two whole days?" He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Or more, depending." "Or more, if we do, somebody will end up seeing both of us naked somehow or making love or...or I don't know what all. Or maybe you'll see one of those women naked and trying on clothes."

"Now there's a thought," and he smiled at her. He just wanted her to relax a little and he hoped a little joking might help.

"Oh my God, I wonder how all of this went when Layla was here. She and I are going to have a long talk just before I strangle her."

"You have to admit, you've just had an adventure like none other in your life."

"God, I hope so, oh no."

"What now?"

"I still want to go back to the other boutique."

"We better give you until tomorrow to recover."

"That might be a good idea."

"I know, we'll go shop at the adult toy store."

"Buck, what are you trying to do to me?"

"Just teasing honey."

"Well at least Layla didn't say anything about shopping in there."

"There you go. You took your panties off just to keep up with Layla. Go shopping for toys and you can go home with bragging rights about that experience."

"I'm not going in there and looking at plastic...at vibrators or whatever." Buck just kissed her and released his hold on her. 

"You know, if we were to make love we could be at the restaurant to meet Hank about on time."

She smiled at him and said, "Oh, so you want to make love to the naked lady."

"I want to very much in fact." He undressed her, and was going to make some reference to undressing her at the store, but he decided to save that for another time. Once they were in bed, they spent some time talking as they kissed and caressed each other, but it didn't take Anita long to be very ready, and Buck had been ready ever since she was naked at the store.

They started off just the same as they always did at home, but for some reason, she wanted to sit on top of him and ride his cock and look down at him. His hands went to her breasts and they were on their way. Slowly to start, but a minute later Anita was upping the pace, and a few minutes later, was trying to slow down from her climax. But she wasn't done. She kept him inside of her as she slowly moved her hips and smiled at him. "Well are you glad you came shopping with me?"

"I have to say I have a whole new opinion about shopping now as long as it's in Discovery." That light hearted chatter stopped when Buck turned them over and he started to really bang into his wife. Before it was over, he had scratch marks on his sides and she'd had two more orgasms to his one.

It was several minutes before either of them moved or spoke. "Maybe it's the air here, but damn it Buck, I about went crazy this time."

"Yeah, I could tell, believe me."

They managed to shower and dress and get to Ethel's in time to have dinner with Hank. He stood up and extending his hand to Buck said, "Anita you look very nice."

"Thank you Hank."

"So you've decided not to dress like the rest of the women I take it."

"Like what?"

"I'm sorry you probably haven't been here long enough. Like I said, you do look very nice so forgive my ramblings."

"That's okay, what do the Discovery natives wear?"

"Well, the guys are pretty much like everywhere else, shorts and shirts. But the women have a real penchant for wearing the latest things from one of our boutiques. That's great for supporting the local economy, but in addition to that, they all look stunning."

"I guess I'm still not following you, Hank."

"Oh you know, the mini skirts, or the latest shorts and tops, that sort of thing. But don't mind me, I just see everybody so often that I get used to seeing how they dress. You know, small town so we all know everybody and so forth."

"Oh, now I understand. Well, it just so happens that we did do some shopping this afternoon."

"Wonderful and thank you for that, so, what would you two like to drink? Ethel makes a pretty decent martini believe it or not."

"I'll have a vodka martini then."

"Make that two," Buck added," so started their dinner and conversation.

Hank toasted them and then asked, "Has anybody told you about our typical evening walk?"

"No they haven't."

"Shame on them then, most evenings, weather permitting, a good number of our residents from town and the outlying areas, dust off the days work, dress for the evening, like I just described to you, and come to town. You noticed I'm sure, the benches along the sidewalk. Well, everybody just ambles along and talks and meets others be they friend or stranger. It's like the olden days I guess. The town is the heart of it all kind of thing. Some do a little shopping, but most just amble around, do some people watching, and have a drink or two provided by Ethel or one of her team. On the big nights, it's half priced Long Island ice tea, but other nights, it's whatever she decides to come up with. Never a big selection, but she does her best considering."

"So it's just a social event."

"Right, we call it walking the square even though our little village has no square," again, all the things that Layla and Mitch had said.

"We'll have to walk down and add ourselves to the mix then."

"Great, I'll be around so maybe I'll see you two."

After the second round of martinis Buck asked Hank, "That store back...well the one that says adult toys. Is that really what it is, in this little place?"

Hank laughed and said, "Yes that's what it is. We were reluctant to allow that, but when they presented to the village council, they did such a professional and up front job of it, that we just couldn't say no and we've never regretted that decision. Jim and Delia are wonderful people that are a great asset to our little community. It's a struggle for them, but they seem content to continue the battle to survive, you two going to stop in and look around?"




It's All About Faith Pt. 02



Anita laughed and said, "Oh no, that's no place for a woman."

Hank shared his best smile and said, "You'll be surprised to learn that almost fifty percent of their business comes from women."

"You're kidding me."

"No. You see, in most towns, businesses like theirs are in the seedy and unsafe part of town. We took the approach that they could be right on the street and with the other businesses. Eliminate the bad image and encourage people to learn and to experiment. So since it's so clean and safe, and Jim and Delia do such a professional job with it, they've created a whole different climate. Women go in there and get advice and guidance from Delia. Not to be crude, but most of the items in that store are technically for the woman anyway. She may use them to please their man, but it's still the woman first."

Anita's eyes were on her martini to avoid looking at Hank as he talked about Jim and Delia's store, but she was still listening intently. The rest of dinner was much less stressful and almost relaxing. Hank left to see to his duties and Buck and Anita lingered over the last of their drink.

"Buck, what do you think of Hank?"

"I think Hank is an astute business man masquerading as a small town, 'aw shucks,' boy. He knows what this town needs to stay alive, and he's working hard to make it happen."

Anita took the last sip of her drink and said, "I want to go back to the motel before we walk to town."

"Okay." As they walked out and turned left he asked her, "So what would you like to do tomorrow?"

She smiled at him and said, "A little more shopping at the other boutique, or something like that, and see what the day has to offer."

"No special expectations or hopes?"

"I can't think of any, how about you?"

"I like your plan. Just see what the day brings us." They slipped their arms around each other and walked back to their room at a leisurely pace.


Chapter Thirty


Anita undressed as Buck watched her, and then she slipped her new tiny shorts on without panties, and before anything could be said, she put her new sexy and tiny top on without a bra. The last thing for her to do, was slip on high heels that she had hidden in the suitcase under her underwear. As he stared at her, she slithered over to him and kissed him before telling him, "We'll never get another chance to do this and I wanted to do it for you. Honey, this is all for you tonight for being so good to me today."

"You're going to town like that?"

"I am. I may turn around and come back, so we'll just have to see. At least I'll know I tried." Buck could hardly keep his hands off of his wife as they walked toward what he laughingly called the business district. 

"Anita, you have no idea just how slutty and sexy you look right now. You have me hard and panting like I'm in heat." She gave him a quick hug without stopping and said, "I'm glad and you know what? If I had a cock, I'd be hard as iron right now."

"This is getting to you too?"

"It is. My heart is racing and I feel like everybody, man or woman, is gawking at me and thinking bad thoughts, but I'm not going back unless you want me to."

"I wish you could dress like that at home."

"I can't think of any place where this would be acceptable other than here."

"Then we'll enjoy it while we can."

"Look honey, there's Wendy with another woman. Both of them look very sexy."

"They really do. No sexier than you, but very easy to look at."

"Both of us have made fun of women even more conservatively dressed than this, so how is it that you want to see me like this now?"

"I can only give guesses. Because it's you, because of where we are, or just maybe I've changed, or this town has changed me. All guesses at best. I'll even admit to carnal thoughts when Layla came out in her tiny outfit."

"I was pretty sure of that just judging from your expression."

"Sorry."

"You're not in trouble, honey. I knew it would get to you and that's part of the reason I asked her to do that. I wanted to see you teased."

"So you were changing even then from the sounds of it."

"Looking back now, I'd have to agree with you." As they passed Alice's boutique she said, "I want to go back in there tomorrow."

"We can do whatever you want."

"When you say that, it makes me think I should dress like this for you more often."

"Maybe we can find a less risqué way to have fun at home."

"I can't wait to talk to Layla now. I could still wring her neck, but I want to compare notes with her and force her to tell us their stories. I know without hearing them, they have some stories to tell because they were just too vague."

"If you'll remember, that's exactly what I said."

"That's right you did, but is this what you expected?"

"Not even close." They came to one of the benches, so he gallantly swept his arm in invitation to have a seat, and even pretended to dust it before she sat down. Buck leaned back and looked around saying, "It's impossible to have this much excitement in such a small town or village or whatever."

"Do you think we've seen all of the excitement?"

"Not even close is my guess, but I'm sure a lot of the excitement goes on behind closed and locked doors."

They watched another couple approach them and the man asked, "Mind if we share the other end of the bench?"

"Not at all, get comfortable and enjoy the evening," Buck said.

"We are doing that, you two from here?"

"No, and in fact this is our first time here. We got lost and just stumbled on this little oasis in the middle of nowhere."

"That's what this place seems to be. We arrived yesterday afternoon much the same way you two did. We like to just take off for a few days and turn onto roads we've never been on, or go places we've never been. But we've tried like crazy, and can't figure out how we ended up here. Oh, sorry, I'm Gabe and this is my wife Carly."

"Hi, I'm Buck and this is my wife Anita."

Carly looked at Anita and said, "Looks like you've done some shopping too."

Anita smiled and added, "And I'm not done. I see you have too, nice skirt."

"Thanks, but if I sit down like this, I can't move much."

Yes you can honey," Gabe said and laughed. "Have you two heard that on Thursday night they have a big turn out, and they sell booze in the middle of town and it gets quite busy from the sounds of it."

"We hadn't heard that, but we may have to rethink our departure date and see what goes on here on Thursday night. So far all, we've had time for is shop, rest, eat, and shop more."

Carly laughed and said, "You're a woman after my own heart. I'll bet you've met Wendy and Mae."

"Just Wendy so far."

'Well Mae will take good care of you too. She's at the other one...um, Casey's I think it is. Whatever, it's the other one. It's a safe guess that you're staying at the Twilight."

"Room three."

"Room four, we're neighbors."

"Okay question," Buck said. "Have you two ever experience anything even close to this place?"

Gabe told them, "Well not anything like this, but we've run into some liberal situations like Fantasy Fest in Key West: Mostly naked women and far too much booze. We had a few times that we just can't seem to remember. But, that said, this place has a totally different feel to it."

"Well, until coming here Anita and I were very conservative, so all of this is just about enough to knock us off of our feet."

"Oh, I'll bet it is." Then looking at Anita he added, "I'm surprised and impressed that you can let go like you have."

"I'm telling myself that it's just this one time so I'm going for it. We can go back to our reserved lifestyle after we get home."

"I'll bet you don't though."

Anita just flashed a guilty smiled at that one. If he was right, then she had some soul searching to do pretty soon. She perked up then and said, "Well, why don't we all walk a little more and change the scenery." With Gabe and Carly leading and setting the pace, Anita and Buck dropped in behind them as they cut across the street and headed down the other side. 

Buck's eyes were almost glued to Carly's legs and skirt and it wasn't long before he told her, "Carly, I have to agree that is one hell of a skirt."

She flashed a smile back over her shoulder and said, "Thank you Buck, that's why I bought it, so guys would look and hopefully enjoy."

"I for one am enjoying it completely." Anita gave him a look but there was a slight curve to her lips. She had failed with her stern look totally.

"Okay," Gabe said, "Time for us to drop back and you lead," and they swapped positions. It was only a minute later he said, "Anita, I do love your shorts. Well not just the shorts of course. The heels are a nice touch too."

She about half turned and walking sideways said, "Thank you Gabe. So you don't think the heels are too slutty?"

"No, but then what's wrong with slutty once in awhile," and he smiled at her. She returned the smile and turned back to walk straight, but she was feeling a slight tingle as she imagined him watching her pantyless ass.

"I know," Buck said, "Let's walk to Ethel's for a beverage."

"Excellent," and it was Carly that was so quick to respond, "But I can only promise to try to keep my skirt under control."

"Oh damn, I forgot about your skirt." Buck was telling the truth, but both Carly and Gabe thought that was pretty funny. Anita was still trying to decide.


Chapter Thirty One


Carly and Gabe sat across from each other as did Buck and Anita. That meant that if Buck leaned back just a little he could see Carly's legs. All the way up to her skirt hem which was just below her hip. She didn't have perfect legs, but they were close enough to make him turn into something approaching a gawking adolescent.

Gabe had a close view of Anita's chest slightly covered by her revealing top with no bra, not an even trade for Carly's legs Buck thought, but close enough. Besides Gabe could also see all most all of Anita's legs, okay he decided it was a fair trade. 

Buck said, "I discovered they make a pretty decent Manhattan here."

"Sounds good to me," Gabe said. Then Carly and Anita were the same so Buck ordered a round and the waitress left. 

"Where are you two from," Anita asked.

Gabe answered saying, "Wilkes-Barre, you two?"

"Scranton."

"We're almost neighbors then, maybe a dozen miles or so." Then looking at Anita asked, "You two really are conservative normally?"

"Very conservative, I still can't believe I'm sitting here dressed like I am."

"Better than undressed considering where we are," and he laughed at his own joke.

"Well, I was in a way, earlier that is. It happened at the boutique."

"You got caught," Carly asked.

"Twice, some delivery guy came in and all I had on were panties. Then soon after that, he came back because he'd messed up some how, only this time he caught me totally naked. I about cried and wanted to run away, but there was no place to go."

"I was only seen by other women, naked, but just women."

Looking at Gabe then Anita said, "Then that means you got your eyes full."

"Yep, down to panties and bra is all though."

"Well to Buck that would be a significant event."

Gabe ordered another round of Manhattans

"Have you two been in the adult toy store?"

"God no, have you two?"

Gabe smiled and told her, "Not yet."

"So you're going?"

"Oh yes, tomorrow sometime. I take it you don't want to go in there."

"I don't think I could handle looking at all the...you know, merchandise. Knowing what it is and what it's used for. While I'm shopping somebody would be watching me and...you know all of that."

"I think you're making more of it than it really is. The sleazy ones at home are a different story, but I don't think this one will be unpleasant."

"But you aren't a woman."

"That's true."

"I'm looking forward to it," Carly told her.

"Are you really?"

"I am. I know, go with us tomorrow, maybe it will help if I'm with you."

"You wouldn't mind babysitting me?"

"Of course not and Gabe will behave, won't you honey?"

"I'll do my best, but that's all I can promise," and Gabe ordered another round and said, "Last one and then we'll go walk them off." Three Manhattan's far exceeded Buck and Anita's limit, but they played along and they continued to sip and talk. Carly was starting to feel hers and was getting pretty careless about how she was sitting, but Buck wasn't getting so drunk that he was going to forget to look and hope. Gabe was getting loose with his hands as well as his tongue, so he was touching Anita's arm and her thigh as they talked and laughed. If Carly noticed Gabe's actions, she wasn't showing any signs of it, and Anita didn't seem to notice that Buck was keeping close tabs on how high Carly's skirt hem was getting. But that was because Anita was really feeling her drinks. She had all but stopped drinking but it was too late for her. She was still functional, but Buck could tell her judgment was greatly affected, because she was starting to put her hand on Gabe's thigh and leaning toward him whenever anything funny was said. 

Then Anita blurted out, "When that guy saw me naked, poor Buck was staring at me and he was so hard I felt sorry for him." 

"Too bad I missed that," Carly said with a smile.

"He was getting hard just walking behind you earlier, weren't you Buck?"

He looked at Carly and had to admit it. "She's right. She shouldn't have said that but she's right."

"You sweetheart," and Carly got up and kissed him before sitting down again forgetting about her skirt. Buck now knew that Carly wasn't wearing panties and he knew she was shaved bald between her legs. He also knew that drunk as he was, his cock was hard and ready. Gabe seemed to be holding his liquor until they stood up to leave. It took him a minute to get himself straight before they could walk out. Him with Anita, and Buck with his arm around Carly's waist, they could still walk, but it was slow going.

"Buck," Carly whispered, "Did I really make you hard?"

"Yes you did. In fact after you kissed me, and sat down I saw a lot more than you intended for me to see, so I'm hard even now."

She looked at him like she was trying to sort out what she wanted to say and she finally settled on, "Maybe Anita will wear a skirt for Gabe tomorrow." Then with her lips close to his ears she whispered, "You wouldn't care if Gabe saw her pussy would you?"

"I wouldn't mind if she didn't care."

Anita stopped and with her arms around Gabe she said, "I don't think I'll make it there and back. Let's go toward the motel." They did an about face and with Gabe and Anita continuing to lead them, Carly leaned against Buck and said, "I think Anita had a good idea. I'm getting drunk."

Gabe's right hand slowly found its way down to Anita's ass so; Buck did the same and ended up with his hand on Carly's ass under her skirt. "I like that," she told him.

"So do I."

"You still hard?"

"Even with too much to drink, I'm still hard because of you."

"Good. I like my men hard and I like to make them that way."

"What else do you like love?"

"When it comes to loving and sex, there isn't much I don't like." Poor Buck didn't know what to say to that one.

When they reached the door to number three, they stood there and talked for a minute before Carly kissed Buck. A long and gentle kiss as his hand stayed under her skirt and almost made it around to find her sweet spot between her legs. Gabe and Anita shared a kiss, and then taking advantage of the quaint porch light near them, Carly stepped back and said, "Look at me world," and raised her skirt to her waist and turned slowly and carefully. Buck watched her closely and studied what he had been touching. He was drunk, but not so much so that he wouldn't remember the evening they had shared with their new friends. 

Anita stood in the doorway and told Gabe, "Look at me, and she raised her top as high as she could show him her breasts. She was too drunk to get her shorts down, but by damn she could at least show him her tits. "Night handsome," she said, and moved on into the room. Gabe joined Carly and they went to number four as Buck joined Anita closing the door behind him.

"Fuck me honey," and Anita put her arms around Buck. He did fuck her, but it wasn't one of his better performances. Of course, Anita didn't really notice the difference either.


Chapter Thirty Two


It was a whole different world for Buck and Anita Wednesday morning. Buck was feeling less than whole when he woke up, so he lay there until his need to pee overcame his wish not to move. Anita was still out cold, so he took a long shower and his condition slowly improved until, though not recovered, he felt like he'd live and perhaps even be ready to face the day before too long. Now showered combed and shaved, he left the bathroom feeling much improved until he heard Anita crying. She didn't even have to tell him what it was about. As soon as he lay next to her, she rolled over and put her arm over him crying harder as she moved.

Neither of them moved nor spoke for some time. He slowly caressed her bare back and let her cry until she was ready to talk. She did stop and he finally felt her move so he just softly told her, "I love you honey."

"Oh God Buck, I'm so ashamed of myself." Okay now, what was he going to say to make her feel better?

"Honey, don't beat yourself up like this. We just need to talk about it, but not while we're hung over. Look at me and tell me you love me." She did better than that, she all but threw herself over him, and between sobs, proclaimed her undying love for him. "I highly recommend a long shower for its healing powers."

"What came over me...over us?"

"I can't answer that one exactly. I do know that we came into town as our old selves, and I stress the word old. We were living like we were a monk and a nun. We were living like we assumed the world expected us to live. As to how the hell this place overcame all of that in a day and a half, I have no idea."

"You sound so in control."

"Look at me again, honey." She did and he went on saying, "What you are really seeing is a man bereft of the ability to think straight. To be able to sort out what I did and what I was...and am, thinking. I'm a mass of confusion, conflict, and concern. But you know what I'm not full of?"

"What?"

"Regret, okay, we went overboard last night, but that's then, and this is now. We're never going to go back to the old us. Not here, and not back home. Somewhere in our sea of mixed emotions and confusion, is the real us trying to come out and feel the sunshine on our face. As long as we love each other, we'll survive this together."

"But honey, Gabe had his hands on me, and I...I did so many things and had so many thoughts."

"I saw what you did, and as to what you thought, we should talk about that, but not until we're fully recovered from too much drink. Speaking of drink, why don't I go up to Ma's and bring back a lot of coffee."

"Would you?"

"Of course, go wash your confusion and regret away in the shower, and I'll come back with some medicinal coffee." With room key in hand, he slipped out and walked up to Ma's. When he went in, there stood Carly waiting for her coffee, "Morning, Carly."

"Good morning Buck. Did you two survive the night?"

"Not in one piece." 

She smiled and said, "I take it that since you're alone, Anita was a little worse off than you."

"We both had more to drink than we're used to, but she's also full of shame and regret."

Carly stood there with her little sack of cups of coffee and looked at him.

"Oh Buck, I'm so sorry. Both of you warned us that you two were more reserved. It's us that should be full of regret."

"Carly, things have been happening since the minute we drove into town. Everywhere we look, every thing we touch, seems to have sex or eroticism attached to it. We came into town, four coffees to go, please Blanche...into town, as naïve as teenagers, and have been overwhelmed. I told Anita to take a long shower and I'd get us coffee." A couple of minutes later Buck took the sack of coffee from Blanche and handed her a ten, and the two of them moved toward the door and out into the overcast daylight. He looked up and said, "Even the weather is going to dampen her spirits now."




It's All About Faith Pt. 02



They walked in silence for a minute and then she said, "I'm going in with you and talk to her woman to woman okay?"

"Well, you can't hurt the situation that's for sure. I take it Gabe didn't fare as well as you."

She smiled and simply said, "Not even close." They went a little farther before she asked, "And what about you? How are you dealing with last night?"

"Somewhat better, but behind the bold and brave front, is a man full of conflict and stirring emotions. I told Anita that one thing I'm not full of, and that's regret. Being near you last night had me going places I've never been before. You were and are so damn sexy."

"Thank you Buck," she looked down at her frumpy shorts and untucked loose top and with a smile asked, "Even now?"

He returned her smile with interest and said, "Yes, even now. Of course as I look at you now, I see you in that tiny skirt."

"That I lost control of last night. The one you had your hand under?"

He had no control over his smile as he said, "Right, that one. I'm so naïve that, until you made the wrong move, I assumed you were wearing panties."

"Let's go talk to Anita before you steal all of my thoughts." She handed her sack of coffee to him and said, "Give this to Gabe, the door is unlocked." 

"Ours is too, and in fact, I didn't even lock it last night. The joys of a small town and a very old motel," and he went next door, knocked and went in. Gabe was bare assed and sitting on the side of the bed with his hair on end. "You don't look too bad considering."

"Easy for you to say."

"Here's your coffee. Carly is next door talking to guilt ridded Anita."

"Oh shit, really?"

"Yeah," Buck was trying not to look at Gabe's cock, but he was standing within two feet of it and looking down at him with that cock right in the line of sight. "We talked for a minute and then I went for coffee and ran into Carly. So...I better get back over there and see how it's going."

"I'm going to drown myself in the shower and shake off those Manhattans. Maybe we'll see you at breakfast, when and if that happens." Buck just tossed a low wave and headed back to Anita.


Chapter Thirty Three


When Buck went in, Carly was sitting next to naked Anita on the side of the bed. They each had an arm around each other and he heard Anita say, "This has been one hell of a way to meet new friends and now here you are consoling me less that a day later."

"All of this mess was Gabe's and my fault. We should have known better than to create that situation and Gabe shouldn't have been ordering all of those drinks."

"I'm grown up and responsible for my own actions, but thank you for trying to take the blame, if that's what to call it." Buck handed coffee to the two women and he sat on the only chair in the room. He sat, listened and watched the two women bond as Anita slowly cast off her cloak of remorse and guilt.

"I know what we should do today if you're willing," Carly said.

Buck just sat there and sipped his coffee as Anita asked, "What's that?"

"Well after a late and light breakfast and more coffee, we walk around to get rid of the cobwebs in our brains and then go shopping: The four of us. We'll be each other's support group. We'll shop until they run out of merchandise or we get tired, whichever comes first."

Anita put both of her arms around Carly and even smiled as she said, "Last night you were going to hold my hand when we went to the toy store and now look at what that's turned into. You don't want to use up your vacation time like that."

"Well, that's what I was going to do today anyway. At least the guys will have each other to talk to so they'll stay out of our way." "Buck is a big help shopping. He has a talent for finding nice things."

"Well then for sure we have to do what I said, and I'll put Buck to work for me too. Anita, just remember, we can't live our lives by what others think. No matter what we decide or do, there will be large segments of the population that will disagree or take offense. If we please ourselves and not do harm to others, then that's a good thing. At least that's the code I live by and believe in. Sort of the golden rule approach with an added twist I guess."

"So I'm the only one that was bothered by last night?"

"Nope," Buck said, "I'm still confused, but I'm throwing in with Carly. I like her slant on life."

Carly stood up and Anita joined her and they shared a long embrace. Carly patted Anita's naked ass and said, "Remember girlfriend, this isn't over. It's like I said earlier, you will still have doubts, but just talk it out with Buck. Your handsome stud is there for you no matter what."

"I'll remember that the next time he has his hands all over your butt." Carly kissed her cheek and Anita walked her to the door and stood there for a minute before closing the door again.

"Now look at you, honey."

"What?"

"You're still naked, and you were just standing in the doorway without a care in the world."

"Oh my God, I did, didn't I? Oh well," and she gave Buck a light kiss. How would you like me to dress today?"

"However you want."

"Well, if I'm going to be trying things, on the skirt would be easier to slip out of than the tight shorts."

"I like that, but it's your call."

"I'll have to wear panties so I can try on shorts or slacks."

"Too bad, oh well, we'll just make it work right?"

Then she dropped onto the bed. Damn it, this won't work."

"What won't work?"

Gabe will be with us and he'll...I can't strip and try things on."

"You just said you'd wear panties, so wear a bra and you're good to go."

"Just like that and Gabe will see me like that?"

"Why not, when in Rome and all that," then Buck put his arms around her and held her close as he reminded her, "Besides, in his mind Gabe has already made love to you and seen you naked and all manner of unspeakable things."

"Is that what he told you?"

"He doesn't need to."

"I suppose you've done the same with Carly."

"I'll admit to mentally undressing her and...well and."

"You don't sound very confused...or the least bit remorseful."

"Not one ounce of regret or remorse. I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday in fact, every minute of it. We just have to decide what we'll do and be like after we leave here. Decide who and what the new us will be."

"You make it sound like we're going shopping for a new set of morals."

"In a way I guess that's right."

"Carly was so much help and it felt good to have another woman to talk to, but all of the things you just said mean so much to me and make me feel less out of control."

"I'm glad. "Okay now what shoes will you wear?"

She just laughed and said, "You and your shoes. Do you have a fetish?"

"You are my fetish and everything about you."

"I love you so much." Then he slapped her ass and told her he was hungry. "In almost one breath I'm your fetish and you're hungry."

"Sorry, I'll work on my verbal pacing later." He knew she wasn't past her issues, but he felt like they had just taken a major step toward their new lives.


Chapter Thirty Four


Carly and Gabe were about halfway through breakfast when Anita and Buck walked into Ma's Kitchen. The four of them talked as they ate, but the tone was slightly subdued. Gabe was still nursing his hangover, but the fluids and food seemed to be helping that. They decided to go back to their rooms and rest just a little longer before attempting to walk the street and shop.

Back in their room, Buck and Anita relaxed but didn't talk about the issues they were dealing with. "You know Nita, Gabe and Carly are okay. More liberal than we are certainly, but I like them."

"I do too. It felt so good to have her hold me as we talked. She really didn't say much that you hadn't said, but just hearing it from a woman like that helped."

"I'm glad. You two looked like you'd known each other for years."

Anita laughed and said, "She's seen a lot more of me than Layla ever has and we certainly talked more intimately than Layla and I ever have, and you've never had your hands all over Layla's naked ass."

"Unfortunately no, I haven't." She smiled as he got up and said, "Let's see what Gabe was talking about when he mentioned channel three." He grabbed the remote and as he sat next to Nita at the foot of the bed, the TV bloomed to life and a woman on her knees with a guy's cock buried deep in her throat. 

"Oh my God," was all Anita could say for the moment.

"Honey, this is amateur hour, not some professionals." They were silent again as the video played on before fading out, and then another couple appeared with him kneeling behind her and his cock poised at the doorway to her anus. "Oh no, he's not going to...," but she was wrong. The woman's ass and the guy's cock were glistening with lubricant as he very slowly eased into her, paused and then went deeper as Anita watched with her mouth gaping open. She knew such things were done, but seeing that really hit her. There was a small part of her that still denied those things went on, but one by one, all of those small hidden notions were being wiped out. Erased like so much dusty chalk

She was holding Buck's hand more tightly than she realized, but they sat there without moving or talking as another scenario played out and then another with two women together. Anita studied that one too and then quickly straightened up. "No, it can't be. The one on the bottom is Wendy. Sweet, cute, and sexy Wendy is at least bi sexual." Buck wasn't talking, but he certainly was staring at the screen of their TV.

Anita glanced down between Buck's legs and she had to smile. He was hard as he could get, so she reached over and as she rubbed him through his shorts she said, "Now you're going to have to wash yourself before we go because you're going to be very wet."

He looked down at her hand teasing him and said, "If you keep doing that both of us will have to shower again."

She took her hand away and said, "I better stop because we have to go shopping."

"That was not nice."

"Just keeping you in the right frame of mind honey, now let's save this until later okay?"

"But this is porn with the natives as the actors."

"I know and I want to watch more, but if we don't go out we'll be in here all day...and night." 

A few minutes later they knocked on the door to number four and Gabe and then Carly came out and Buck went straight to Carly and kissed her. "Thanks for being such a good friend."

"I better look for a chance to be a special friend again then," and she gave him a hug and said, "I'm glad things are better."

"I predict we're going to have a great day." As they walked up the street, Anita took Buck's hand and Gabe watched Anita in her mini skirt as they came along close behind them. "Where to first, honey," Buck asked. Anita turned slightly and asked Carly, "Any preferences on where to first?"

"No preferences, we have time to hit them all again. At least two boutiques and the toy store."

They went into Alice's Boutique first and the guys lagged behind as the two women touched and talked about one item after another, but nothing was ending up in her hands. Then Buck saw Wendy come out. He nudged Gabe and told him, "I saw her on TV a little earlier."

"Doing a nasty?"

"What she was doing was, oh so sweet. We've decided she's bi."

"Oh, that kind of video, not bad looking really."

"She certainly didn't look bad earlier."

"This place is incredible." "It's like it was created just for this purpose you know? Everything seems to have a place and a purpose. No bad luck stories visible anywhere." They caught up with the women and again just stayed back and let them talk. "Those two sure have become fast friends."

"I'm glad because Carly needs a good friend that she can be open with. I just hope she doesn't shock poor Anita."

"Anita is proving to be tough in her own way, but we have a ways to go." The women now had a couple of garments each but they were still working their way around to the dressing area. "It's going to be interesting to see if Anita can strip with you close by."

"It will be very interesting for me if she can."

Buck was hatching a plan in his mind, but it had the potential to backfire, so he had to think about it as they made their way past Wendy and to the dressing area. Surprisingly, Anita was first by removing her top to try on a blouse she had found, very nice as Gabe watched her exposure which was tame by local standards. In fact, a woman could walk down the street in her bra and nobody would pay any attention to her.

Carly was next but Wendy went over and said, "Remember that blouse is designed to be worn braless."

"Thank you for reminding me and glancing at Buck, she took her bra off slow enough to make sure he had time to look at her topless. Buck's cock was at attention immediately. The next thing was for Carly to slip her skirt off to try a slightly more conservative one on and that's when Buck ducked over, picked up a package and came back, all in well under a minute. He smiled at Gabe and then went over to Carly and boldly looking at her breasts, he put his arm around her and whispered, "I'm buying you a present, but you have to try them on of course."

She smiled and said, "Thank you Buck, what did you buy me?"

"These," and he handed her a package of the sexy panties that Anita had bought. 

Carly saw what they were and then looked at him without smiling. "Are you sure you want to buy me these?"

"I'm sure."

"Then thank you and I'll try them on right now if you'll sit in front of me and watch me change." Gabe was watching them and Anita at the same time as Carly turned to Anita and handed her a pair of the panties from the package. "I'm supposed to try these on so you have to join me in support."

"Now, here...in front of...of Gabe?"

"You can do it...we can do it together okay?"

"Oh shit. Yes, okay." Gabe joined Buck just in time to watch their show as Anita paused and let Carly go first as Wendy looked on discreetly. Buck didn't even breathe until Carly's panties were around her ankles and she was daintily stepping out of them. She bent her knees very lady like, picked up her panties, and handed them to Buck and told him, "This is in trade for the new ones," and she stepped back. 

It was Anita's turn so she copied Carly move for move and moved close to Gabe as she handed her panties to him. "For you handsome," and she rejoined Carly.

"Wendy," Carly said, "I'd like to try those bras that I looked at the last time."

"Thirty six B right?"

"Right."

"Easy to remember because that's my size," she said as she retrieved the bras for her. 

"Buck, would you help me love?"

He looked at Gabe and then to Anita who was just watching him, so he went over to her as she whispered, "Take my bra off for me, please." Now he didn't dare look at anybody else for fear that one of them wouldn't be pleased. He unhooked the back while she stood still as he moved the straps down and eased it away. Carly was naked now. She looked at Anita whose eyes were wet and glassy looking and calmly took her bra off saying, "You have to try a bra on too friend, and she was now totally nude as well. Wendy had been working that store long enough to know what was going on so she had smaller bras for Anita in her hands as well when she returned. The bras went on first leaving the guys ample time to study the two pussies in front of them. Then working to make maximum eye contact with the guys, they slipped their new panties on and posed as their hands slid over their asses as they supposedly checked the fit. "What do you guys think," Carly asked.

Gabe was first saying, I think I'm in love and lust at the same time: Two of the hottest sexiest women in the world."

"I have to go with Gabe, and add also the two smartest and gutsiest women in the world and thank you both."

Wendy came back over to check on the women and smiled at the guys as she said, "Too bad we don't have something for guys to try on, right ladies?"

"That really is too bad," and it was Carly as she looked at Anita.

They paid for their merchandise and as soon as they were outside Anita leaned into Buck and said, "Damn you. Are you two trying to drive Carly and me crazy? I just knew that Bert, the package guy, was going to pop in and catch us naked again."


Chapter Thirty Five


They hadn't even left the area of the store when they heard, "Well now this is about perfect," and it was Hank with a very good looking woman by his side. "I was hoping we would run into all of you. Oh good, you're spending more money in our fair village. Faith, this is Carly and Anita, Gabe and Buck. They're spending a few days and a few dollars with us."

"Nice to meet all of you."

"As is obvious to the world, Faith is one beautiful and dynamic woman and to my great fortune also a friend."

Gabe still had Faith's hand in his as he said, "It is to your great fortune indeed Hank and I'm envious." 

The syrupy sweet words went back and forth for a few more seconds before Hank asked without directing the question, "So how long do you have with us?"

Buck said, "We have to leave tomorrow unfortunately."

Gabe then added, "Though saddened by the prospect we do as well and especially sad if you will be staying Faith."

"Thank you again, Gabe."

Hank looked restless as he asked, "You do know about the festivities tonight right?"

"Only in general terms," Buck said.

Just as he had done countless times before pointed down the street and said, "See that single dark green door? Be there at six fifteen. Not much earlier and certainly not much later."

"Care to share more information, Hank?"

He smiled and said, "Have fifty dollars a couple ready, and I promise you some very nice local entertainment. Nothing professional at all, so don't be misled, but if you aren't impressed or at least surprised, I'll personally refund your money. Oh, and feel free to bring one of Ethel's special iced teas with you. Hope to see you there," and Hank was hustling Faith down the street, no doubt to show her off to somebody else.

Carly watched Hank and Faith walk away and then said, "He was working hard not to fall all over himself."

Buck nodded and said, "More woman than he knows what to do with that's for sure."

Anita smiled and said, "Let me guess, you could do better."

"I wish. No she's too much woman for me too and high maintenance to say the least."

"I have to agree on that, but she did seem cordial enough."

"Why not," Carly said, "She must be the center of attention wherever she goes. So are we going to the show...or whatever it is?"

"Sounds hokey, but if they get fifty bucks a couple it must be something."

"It's something alright," Buck said, "It's expensive and a good profit maker for the town."

Anita poked him and said, "You're just too cynical."

Carly looked at her watch and said, "I'm starved and I don't think we can fit another bag of goodies in our car. I vote we go to Ethel's and eat, and then go to the toy store. We're not likely to buy much there and then we can go on to the entertainment."

"I vote yes," Anita said, so with arms around their wives they headed back down the street to dinner as the women talked about things they saw at the store but didn't buy. 

They were most of the way there when Gabe moved back and giving Buck a push said, "Go kiss and tease my wife for a minute." As Anita and Gabe put an arm around each other he said, "I just wanted to tell you that you are so sexy and nice and a joy to be with, and I have to thank you for slipping into our lives and deep into my memories."

"Thank you Gabe, and I feel the same about you and Carly. These couple of days has been an amazing ride. I'm almost glad cold weather is coming because it's going to take me a long time to sort it all out and to relive it again and again." It wasn't easy, but they managed a nice kiss without stopping and by then they were at Ethel's.




It's All About Faith Pt. 02



Dinner was a good idea because it gave them a chance to settle down and rest. Anita held up one of their packages and said, "We're this close, let's drop these off and freshen up before we go play again."

Carly closed the discussion by saying, "Perfect idea, it would feel good to wash up a little." Then looking at her watch she added, "But we better get going or we'll run out of time." The two couples split up at the motel agreeing to meet outside their rooms in twenty minutes. 

As soon as they were inside Anita said, "Buck, you better change your shorts and underwear."

"Yeah I know, I was hard more than I was soft thanks to you and Carly. You take the bathroom first because you'll need ten minutes and I'll need less than five." Buck pulled his shorts and boxers off and tossed them aside and then stopped. He could be watching channel three while he dug for his last clean pair of shorts and some underwear, so he clicked the TV on and waited for the image to appear, put it on three and was watching two unknown locals in the middle of some steamy foreplay. Buck was hooked and stood there for several minutes admiring the action more than the actors, and his cock was at full mast just as Carly came in their door in bra and panties without knocking. Carly stopped and stared at Buck's hard on just as Anita came out of the bathroom and stopped as she took in the scene before her. Carly found her voice first and said, "Sorry Nita, but I came over to ask you a question and sort of found your husband with that beautiful erection and staring at the TV."

"Buck, shut that off please honey, and put something on."

"I wanted to wash up first so I was waiting for you." That was well short of the full truth but it was plausible and kept him out of trouble.

"Well okay, get in there so we can go."

"Carly honey, you going like that?" 

She smiled and said, "Of course not, now go do as you're told," and her eyes stayed with his cock until he disappeared into the bathroom.

Anita just stood there and tipped her head back and closed her eyes. "Well doesn't that just tear it? Now you've seen his cock at its best and I'll never hear the end of it."

"Well, his best is very good to say the least Nita. Oh, the reason I came over is, are you wearing your short skirt tonight?"

"I was planning to. We'll likely be standing or walking most of the time anyway."

"That's my thought too. Then she slipped her panties off and said, "And I think I'll go like this tonight, and at some point let the men know that I have nothing under my skirt Of course they will be thinking that anyway."

"That's what I'm going to do too, and I just hope I don't get way in over my head."

"Just remember girlfriend, it's just eyes, and not their hands, or other parts, that are touching you."

"Good thing to remember...I think anyway." 

Carly turned on her heels and with panties in hand went back to Gabe naked below the waist. Anita watched her go and wondered if she would tell him that she had seen Buck's hard cock.


Chapter Thirty Six


The foursome met outside and off they went toward their next and probably last adventure in Discovery. Anita was feeling totally slutty in her mini skirt brief top and high heels and the air swirling between her legs. Carly didn't pack any high heels, but other than that, she looked a lot like Anita. The two main differences between them physically were, Carly was an inch taller and her breasts were a thirty six as opposed to Anita's thirty four, and Carly was slightly darker complexioned. Buck was confident that Carly wasn't wearing panties, but he was also confident that Anita was. They didn't hurry but they kept moving, and the closer they got to the toy store the slower Anita walked, and the more apprehensive she became. When they had talked about it, she felt confident she was ready for it, but in her mind the store, was going to be harder for her than having Gabe see her naked in the boutique. This was more personal to her. More intimate. If she lingered on some object, all of them would know she had more than a passing curiosity. But if she was going in there, she wanted to at least see what it was all about. She had to remember what Carly had said: Don't worry about what other people think. That had to be forefront in her mind for the evening. 

They went in with Gabe and Carly leading, and once inside they stopped and looked around at the store layout. There must have been a bell of some kind on the door, because Delia came out and said, "Evening. If you're looking for anything in particular just let me or Jim knows, or if you have questions about anything at all...well other than politics and religion, we'll be glad to help you. Carly and Anita slowly moved to the right and explored their way along the wall. "Do you really know what you're looking at," Anita whispered.

"Well yes, vibrators and rubber cocks..."

"No, I mean as in one better than the other kind of thing."

"Oh...no, I know what I have at home, but how one compares to the other, I couldn't say. Just go with what catches your eye."

"My eyes don't know which way to go."

"Do you have any vibrators?"

"Not one."

"Oh, you have to correct that honey. How do you see to your own needs?"

"What...oh you mean...I rarely do because it's not very exciting."

"Hmmm. Okay, then pick out at least two different kinds for starters."

"You mean buy them?"

Carly laughed and said, "Well yes. I'm sure they won't let you try them here and then give them back."

Anita laughed at herself then and said, "I guess that didn't come out right." As they neared the back wall, Carly whispered to Anita and then after the wall angled left they stopped and studied whatever was in front of them, "Ready Carly?" She nodded and the two women bent way over to examine something near the floor that they cared nothing about. Buck and Gabe stopped and studied the naked asses of their wives. Their pussy lips were squeezed between their legs and looked like targets for their cocks. They guys glanced at each other and then stepped forward and put their hands on the warm pussy in front of them and teased them until they straightened up and turned to smile at them. Both women gasped then as Carly looked at Buck and Nita was face to face with Gabe. Nita's hand went to her mouth and she mumbled, "Oh my God...Ga...Gabe it's...I just assumed that..."

He kissed her lightly then and said, "Thank you beautiful," and the guys switched back to their spouses.

"Damn you, Buck, you just let...let Gabe touch me. I mean between the legs."

"Did it feel good?"

"Well, of course it did, because I thought it was you."

"But it wasn't, and it still felt good."

"I know but...damn we thought we'd shock you."

"You did, but we recovered quickly." Poor Anita was so flustered but at the same time she was instantly excited. 

"Buck, you just stay close to me where I can watch you." The two women looked at each other and despite their best efforts they smiled. Then the shopping became more serious and by the time they left, each woman had a number of items to take home and experiment with. And it was six fifteen. Time to go to the show, whatever it would be, and that would end their exciting time in the village of Discovery. Tomorrow, they would be home and challenged to face what they had done and experienced and fantasized about.

They paid the box just inside, parted the curtain and went to the second curtain and went through that. There stood Hank full of smiles and he said, "Glad you four could make it tonight. Okay, best seats in the house, front row center and just tuck your purchases under your chairs. Carly had the center aisle seat, then Gabe, Anita and then Buck. They were looking at the large and empty oak plank floor and the three bare walls that formed the back of the room. There were very generic curtains hanging similar to a theatre, but much shorter and less impressive looking, nice, but certainly spartan décor. A few people filtered in and sat behind them and then it was like Hank heard trumpets sound. He straightened up and glued a silly smile to his face, and in came Faith on the arm of some fairly young stud. They went to the front and Faith looked at the foursome sitting there. Buck and Gabe stood up and moved to her as they smiled. "Good evening Faith," Buck said. 

"Good evening...Buck right?"

"You're very good, yes, nice to see you again."

"Thank you, and you're Gabe." Gabe did the same and then Faith pulled Stud closer and said, "This is Dan, and he's my escort this evening. Dan does a lot of the wiring and more technical things here." Both Gabe and Buck shook his hand and gave him the obligatory smile and did the 'nice to meet you' routine. "Hope you all enjoy the show this evening." 

"Thank you Faith, I'm sure we will," Carly told her. Faith and Danny boy sat down on the aisle seats across from Carly and once again it was quiet except for the occasional shuffle of feet or the sound of a late arriving guest. 

A woman, they guessed to be in her mid forties, came out and smiled at everybody. The room wasn't so big that a microphone was needed, so she just stood there with her hands behind her and said in a strong voice, "Most of you already know me, but for those that don't, I'm Peggy. I'm going to do my best to see that you are entertained tonight. This is my first time up here so wish me luck and be generous to our performers tonight please. Without them, we'd be home learning to knit or something. A few chuckles rippled through the group and she smiled and went on. "Okay then. We're going to try something new tonight...well new to us anyway. We need two couples to volunteer to help us this evening. Now this is just the first part of the show so don't worry about being up there the whole time, maybe twenty minutes or so." Anita's hands went to Buck's arm and she whispered no to him loud enough for Gabe to hear her. While she was looking at Buck, Peggy said, "Yes, how about you two," and Anita closed her eyes and held her breath and didn't move. 

"It's okay honey, you're safe," Buck whispered. Anita looked back and saw that Peggy was standing right next to her and urging Gabe and Carly to stand up and face the audience. 

Peggy was all smiles as she said, "Let's show some support for our first couple because they are from out of town and understandably nervous. Everybody clapped and then she went on and immediately self assured Carly was very uncomfortable. What's you name miss?"

"Carly."

"And you sir?"

"Gabe."

"Gabe...a masculine name to be sure, can you imagine a woman being called Gabe? Babe yes, but not Gabe."

Another trickle of laughter and then she said, "Oh look, Carly has been shopping at the adult toy emporium. What did you bring us tonight?" She reached for Carly's bag and pulled out a long straight vibrator. Chrome finished in fact. "Oh my, you do like the long ones don't you. Makes me wonder what Gabe's packing," more chuckles. Peggy was doing pretty good for a full amateur. What else is...oh yes, here we are, Astroglide, the industry standard for sex lubricant. Good for anal or vaginal penetration. Good for the guy for anal penetration, right Gabe?" What else is in your little bag? Oh, a vibrating cock. Nice, did you model for this Gabe? Or maybe your friend sitting with you, what's your name sir?"

"Buck."

"Buck, oh now I like that, reminds me of another of my favorite words. Was this modeled after you Buck?"

"Not hardly."

She laughed and said, "Yes, not hardly. But if it was, you'd be very well hung. Damn Carly, this is a beaut; big, but a realistic looking beauty. Very nice, and I have a few myself, but I really prefer them warm and responsive to my needs and I like them to give me a gift near the end. Okay, one more...now here we go, nipple clamps with a short chain between them."

"I take it you like nipple clamps, Carly."

"I don't know."

"Oh boy, a newbie, well good luck honey, I hope you really like them." She put the bag down but not under the chair and said, "Okay, enough teasing you about your purchases. Now one more couple and we'll get going with the show. Raise your hands now...no volunteers? Okay...Rose and Monty come up here for us please." They stood to Peggy's right as she said, "Okay folks, were this a professional gig you'd have entertainment while we get ready, but since that isn't the case, entertain yourselves for a few minutes, but try to keep your clothes on and your hands in plain sight." More giggles and then Peggy and her volunteers disappeared through a doorway.


Chapter Thirty Seven


After a few minutes of quiet subtle rumbles of whispered conversation mixed and drifted around the room, Anita whispered, "I feel so sorry for Carly and Gabe."

"I do and I don't. They could have said no."

"That's true, but still...I wonder what they're doing back there?"

"We'll find out in a few minutes I'm sure. Whatever we'll have plenty to talk about after it's over."

"I hope they don't want to leave right away. I want to see what else they come up with."

The two couples returned and Carly and Gabe stood to her left and Rose and Monty to her right. "Okay everybody, we're going to borrow something from an old TV game show. Rather than explain, we'll just go ahead and you'll get the idea very quickly. Gabe and Carly, write down your anniversary date. If you both write the same, I'll have a run off question for you." Each of the four couples had small dry erase boards so they each wrote a date. Peggy made a show of checking the dates and looked at Carly and said, "Well one of you two is wrong. Now which one do you suppose...Gabe. What is your anniversary date?" 

"I wrote...oh shit," and the audience loved it.

"Oh Gabe, and that was meant to be an easy one...a gimme in fact. Okay, you know the rules, Carly, take his shirt off for us." While that was going on Peggy turned to Monty and Rose with the same question. "What's this? You wrote the same date. Okay, now what time did the ceremony start?' Peggy checked those answers and smiled. "Okay we have a winner and a loser. Was it three or two thirty...Monty?"

"Rose, it was three because we had to delay the ceremony from two thirty to three."

Rose whispered, "Damn," and Monty removed her top. Back to Carly and Gabe then. "Gabe is Carly wearing panties?"

"No."

"Carly?" Carly lifted her mini skirt and she had panties on. "Oh Gabe, this isn't your game is it. "Okay off with his pants, Carly."

Anita leaned close to Buck and whispered, "She wasn't wearing panties."

"I know, remember? He was set up and she agreed to it, so relax honey and you may get to see more than you expected. Monty lost his pants and it was back to Carly and Gabe again. "Carly, what brand of car do you drive?" "Oh it's a...a white...um...I know what it is, it's...Damn, I can't remember." "Gabe, you lucky devil, you get to take her blouse off." Gabe knew she'd flunk that question and it was easy to see he was hard. Then as he moved his erection bounced under his boxer as he took her blouse off. 

"Let's see, Rose...when you met Monty he had a dog named what?"

Rose raised her eyebrows and said, "I'd forgotten he even had a dog." The people laughed and then waited for the inevitable. "I don't know."

"Monty, off with Rose's blouse please. Back to Carly again, "Carly...Gabe is down to his underwear so let's ask you another one. Carly, Gabe has a wish. Something for you to do, what is it?"

"Oh God, this is embarrassing." 

"Oh, that's okay, you're among friends, friends that want to see you naked of course, but friends. What wish?"

"He wants to try anal sex."

"Oh, good guess...but wrong. Gabe wrote down...a clit piercing." Gabe, it's your choice, panties, skirt, or bra."

"Skirt next, Peggy."

"Good choice. Off with her skirt then." Peggy walked over to Anita and asked her, "You doing okay? Having fun?"

"I am having fun."

"Great, glad to hear that. Feel sorry for your friend?"

"Not a lot," and the audience cracked up. Anita liked hearing them laugh like that and she smiled.

"Wish you were up here in her place?"

"No."

"Some friend," and Peggy went to Rose while the group chuckled. Rose, my good friend Rose, thank you for being up here love. Okay. If you can remember when you had your first period...you can take Monty's pants off." Peggy watched them and then said, "Damn fine boner there Monty, be proud my man," and she moved back to Carly again. "Carly, this is your chance to save a little of your modesty. You still have bra and panties to work with here. What was the color of Gabe's car when you met him?"

"He didn't have a car."

"Hmmm. Gabe wrote a flat black one."

What?"

"Honey, remember I had that Chevy I was restoring."

"Oh damn, that's cheating."

Peggy turned to the audience and asked, "Okay, tell us what Gabe removes from Carly this time?" By an easy majority, it was her panties. "Okay Gabe, time to take your wife's panties off and show the guys her pussy." Peggy watched as Gabe stepped behind her and coaxed her panties down until she could step out of them. "Oh yes, Gabe, I agree with you." Peggy went over to Carly and touched her clit and said, "This clit hood was made for piercing. Do it Carly and I doubt you'll be sorry later. Besides, that will look so hot on you," and she touched Carly one more time.

"Monty, your turn honey, were you ever unfaithful to Rose before you came to Discovery?"

"Nope."

"Buzz...wrong, Rose writes, yes one time with that whore Maxine."

"What about that Monty?"

"How did you know about that?"

The audience applauded and laughed and Rose just smiled at him. "Okay Rose, take his shorts off and show us your husband's rigid cock." She didn't hesitate and a second later his cock was waving at the people. Show it to us Monty, grab it and give it a few strokes, we'll wait for you." Monty had never performed for the village, so his face was flushed pink as he stroked his cock and Rose looked on. "Thank you hon, maybe the next time we can put that monster to work for us." 

Turning back to Carly and Gabe, Peggy said, "Carly...answer this right and Gabe will lose his boxers. Has Gabe ever held another man's cock in his hand?"

Carly looked at Gabe and hesitated, because she knew this answer was going to embarrass him. "Yes. Mark's at their anniversary party. They were drunk on their butts."

"Bingo, we have a winner on that one. But wait Carly." Peggy turned around and said, "Anita right?"

"...Yes."

"Anita, come up here and take Gabe's drawers off while we watch." Anita was so nervous about being up there and then to know she was going to see Gabe's hard cock, she forgot about everything else. She bent over to grab his underwear and her whole ass popped into view making the audience clap and cheer. It was seconds and in fact Gabe's underwear was half down when she realized what she had done and straightened up. "Oh, too late honey, we got a sweet look at your pussy honey. Okay, now stand tall Gabe, because this sexy creature is about to spring your cock free." Anita gave up and bent over again and jerked his underwear down and that put her face within inches of his bobbing wet organ. She straightened up quickly then and Peggy handed his underwear to her as she quickly sat down. "Here, you deserve this souvenir."

"Okay stud, let's get your wife's bra off. Do you know your alphabet?"

"Yes."

"Good answer and we won't ask you to prove it. Take the lady's bra off for us. Carly stared straight ahead, but she was thoroughly enjoying being on display, with the bra on the floor Carly stood there totally naked and standing tall. "Damn you look good," came from the audience and Peggy said, "Thank you Zeke, and I agree with you. Okay Gabe and Carly, come together in a deep and meaningful kiss for us. Rose and Monty, get Rose naked and you two share a long kiss too. We have one more little bit of silliness, and then we'll get on with the rest of the show." Rose and Monty finally took their seats and Gabe broke their kiss. "Carly honey, don't sit down just yet. Thank you, Gabe, give us a minute or two and then you can get dressed.




It's All About Faith Pt. 03



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter Forty Three 


It was just after one thirty when they hit town, and Buck called Mitch and Layla as he waited at a stop light. "Hi Buck, where are you?"

"About twelve minutes from your house."

"Really? Then come over, Mitch will be back any minute and the iced tea is made."

"We need something a little stronger than that."

"Margaritas coming up then."

"Thanks, love you," and he hung up.

"You never tell her you love her."

"That's in case we kill her and forget to let her know first."

They were a block from their house when Buck said, "Mitch is going to shit."

"Why?"

"You forget what you're wearing."

"Oh my God, where was my brain?"

"Where mine was, back at Discovery. Oh well, Mitch will love you, but you're on your own for keeping his hands off of you."

"Thank you honey, but I don't see Mitch pawing me. But…oh damn, no bra and no panties."

"And he'll know it because of having been in Discovery and Layla shopping at the boutiques."

"Damn, oh damn, oh damn."

"Too late now, we're there." Buck wasn't doing a very good job of hiding his smile.

Layla met them at the door and she hugged and kissed Anita and said, "Oh yes, you've been to Discovery. Damn you look hot."

There was that mess of confusing emotions again. "Thanks."

Then Buck put his arms around her and then attacked her and kissed her deeply with his tongue teasing hers until she responded and returned the kiss.

"My God, Buck, thank you, but what caused that?"

"Well you know what caused that and I wanted to be sure to do that before we wring your beautiful neck." She smile and he added, "A guilty smile if I ever saw one and it should be."

"What am I guilty of?"

"We'll talk about that over drinks. Potent drinks because we're still in Discovery mentally and emotionally."

She was studying him and still smiling as they talked. "Yes, I can see that. Go sit down and I'll bring your medicine." She returned with the pitcher of margaritas and four glasses and noticed Buck looking around like it was his first time there.

"Something wrong, Buck?"

"No…no, I was just remembering some of the semi intellectual conservative conversations we've had in this room."

"What about them?"

"All of that stands in such stark contrast to Discovery." 

Buck was tasting his drink when Mitch came in saying, "So our weary travelers are back." Mitch grabbed the pitcher and filled his glass and took a long taste before sitting down. "So how was the adventure?"

"Well the four of us are going to have to get reacquainted now because Nita and I are not the same people that were here the last time."

Layla was still studying their friends and said, "Okay, seriously, are you two okay?"

"Can we get back to you on that," Anita said?

"Pretty traumatic wasn't it."

"Extremely traumatic actually for both of us."

"We need to explain something here. When we were talking to you about Discovery, we knew we had changed, but you two were still uptight reserved and proper, like we always were. Because of that, we were afraid of how you would deal with that little village, if you would be swept up in the excitement or if you would run away cursing and vowing to never see us again. We really worried about that.

Anita said, "So you were taking a big risk with our friendship by encouraging us to go check the village out."

"We were, but we also had a feeling that things would turn out at least okay, if not great."

"Even Wednesday afternoon it was questionable if we would stay longer." Buck was leaning back and just let Anita tell their tale. "Like you said, we went in there feeling all proper and aware of the world. Then we saw women in various stages of undress calmly strolling down the street. Then we went into the first boutique…Alice's I think it was, anyway we go from conservatively dressed cosmopolitan feeling adults to me standing there in the middle of the store, or at least that's how it felt, in just my panties and bra. Even now I just can't believe I could change my attitudes that quickly. And…well that was my point. How amazingly fast we jumped into a whole new world. Layla how long did it take you two to settle down after you got home?"

"Days, but like you, we're not the same as we were and never will be."

"We could tell you'd changed when we were here the last time before we left on our journey. We just didn't realize how you had changed and certainly not how much."

"Nita stand up and show Mitch."

After all she had been through she still was hesitant to put herself on display for Mitch, but she put her glass down and stood up. He could see what she was wearing but the impact and the reality of that didn't hit him until he saw her standing there in her slut suit as he was calling it. His eyes scanned her all the way down to her high heels before he asked her to turn around.

"Holy shit, Nita honey, come over here would you?" She wasn't far from blushing as she moved over to Mitch as he continued to stare at her. "Honey, you are so damn sexy, so hot." She could see it in his eyes. He knew she was without panties and bra and that thought had him studying her just that much more. His arm reached out for her and she stepped up against his chair as his hand landed on her hip. "Nita, I'm at a loss for words. You look different and I'm not just referring to what you're wearing. You are different in a deeper way."

Buck was watching the two of them as he said, "You should have seen her in her tiny skirt."

Mitch looked up at her and with a knowing smile asked, "Did you really?"

She was getting into the situation now as she gave him a sexy look and said, "Yes, I did, two of them in fact and a lot of other things."

"So you really did try things on in those boutiques." Those memories flooded her thoughts and she took her time to answer him as Layla and Buck became minor players in the developing drama. "Mitch, I was so petrified, but I tried everything on."

He was having fun and was going to see just how much she would admit to, "Everything as in what?"

"You were there as Layla shopped right?"

"Of course."

"Well, these shorts I'm wearing of course…and…"

Mitch pulled her down to his lap and said, "You might as well be comfortable because his might take a few minutes. Okay, your shorts and what else?"

"Honey, he wants to know about everything."

"You might as well tell him everything but don't forget that Layla and I are here and want to listen too."

"Well, I can't tell him everything."

"You decide, babe."

Anita took a long breath and said, "Well there were tops of course, several of them. Oh…Buck go out and get Layla's gift."

"I don't want to miss your story."

"I'll talk slowly."

Mitch, the man with a beautiful and very sexy wife was hopelessly enthralled with Anita. "So did you at least think of Layla and me?"

She smiled and kissed him quickly before saying, "Your names came up many times, especially the first couple of days. Things like, I'm going to kill them or wring their necks. Well, you get the idea. Times like our first boutique experience and I had to stand there in my panties to try these shorts on. Moments like that you came to mind."

"Why Nita I'm surprised that you'd think of me when you were just in your panties I'm almost speechless."

"Now stop that, you know what I meant."

"Honey, did you hear that? Nita thought about me when she was almost naked."

Anita was enjoying herself and the attentions of one of her best friends. "I did not say that. I had my bra and panties on."

"Oh you had your top off too and still you thought of me. Damn I'm getting some powerful visuals now."

"Mitch, why can't you behave?"

"I'm afraid Discovery took away my ability to behave. Now you were saying?"

"You're making it hard for me to…now damn it, that's not what I meant. It's hard enough for me…damn it Layla, I don't mean…" and he pulled her up against him and kissed her cheek. 

"It's okay Nita, but I am surprised that you noticed that intimate detail."

"It is not and besides…"

"Oh so now you're checking that too are you?"

"Layla…"

"Mitch, take pity on her, she's trying to tell her story."

"Okay, I'll be quiet…but it's going to be hard," and he laughed again.

Buck chose that moment to come running in with Layla's gift and said, "You're making it hard for Mitch, is that what I heard. Damn gone for one minute and you two…"

"Buck, you're as bad as Mitch, now be quiet and give Layla her gift."

Mitch pulled Anita until she was leaned into his chest and his arms were around her and told her, "I just want to see what you bought for Layla." She moved her butt a little, relaxed and nestled into his arm as he whispered, "Thank you," and they traded a knowing glance before watching Layla open the bag.

She pulled the white tie front top out and holding it up said, "Oh I like this. It has a pretty collar and the way it flares in the front, so very sexy and stylish, thank you, Nita."

"You're welcome, they had just come in and when I saw them I thought of you instantly. It will go great with your gray skirt. I know because that's what I wore Thursday." Anita had her right arm behind Mitch's neck and his arms were around her waist with his hands on her hips. Just his lips and tongue moved as he silently told her thank you.

Layla jumped up and said, "I have to go try this on right now, I'll be right back. Save your story for me."

"Buck," Mitch said, "You're pretty quiet over there."

"I'm relaxed and I couldn't be more comfortable or happier. No, that's wrong, we could all be in Discovery right now."

"Now, wouldn't that be an adventure." Then a few minutes later he said, "Layla honey, we're waiting for you."

"I'm coming," she called from the bedroom. Everybody was quiet as they looked toward the hallway and then she said, "Okay, here I come." She walked to the end of the hallway and then stopped and posed for them with her hip cocked sassily and one hand up on the edge of the archway. Buck bent his head down with his hand on his forehead and Layla asked him, "What's wrong, Buck?"

"I'm having a crisis of major proportions. If I look at you I want to run over to you and throw my arms around you. If I do that then I can't stare at you. But again, if I stare at you I have to run over to you. I could die of exhaustion going back and forth. Layla, you look so totally smoking hot. If you and Nita were dressed like that at the same time I'd…I don't know what I'd do."

Mitch was still smiling and staring at his wife as he said, "Honey, that is the ultimate look. Buck's right, you are so totally hot." Then he looked at Anita and boring into her eyes with his he asked, "So why aren't you wearing your outfit like that?"

"I was going to, but you know potty breaks and all of that."

"You'd be legal. I think that if you really loved me you'd go get your outfit and show Layla and me how you look. I already know, but I'd like to see you like that."

"And what makes you think I love you?"

"I can tell, and besides I love you."

"You do not. You've never told me that."

"Our previous life wasn't conducive to comments like that. This is the new me."

"I like the new you very much. Okay then, just for you, I'll go change." Then before getting up she smiled at him and in a whisper asked him, "What if I make it harder for you?"

"You already have love."

"I like that." Then in a louder voice she said, "Okay then, I'll get our bag and I'll change. Buck, tell them about meeting Gabe and Carly while I'm gone. Just the early part though."

With Layla sitting across from Buck he was having a hard time not looking up her skirt. She'd managed to hide her treasures from him, but he kept hoping. He didn't even know if she was wearing panties, but he assumed she was, considering the situation.


Chapter Forty Four

As Anita changed, she tried to decide if she should wear her panties under her little skirt, but decided she would until she and Layla could talk. She looked at herself in the mirror and made sure her breasts wouldn't fall out, and then she thought about sitting on Mitch's lap in her tiny outfit. He couldn't see up her skirt, and she didn't care if Layla could. And there was Buck. Then she smiled. She was going to flash her own husband while she sat on Mitch's lap. Maybe, just maybe, she could get both men hard, and that thought, gave her a warm feeling so off came the panties. She looked at herself again, fussed with the tie top collar and brushed her hand down the front of the little gray skirt with the slight flare. She liked the flare cut because it accentuated her hip movements when she walked. She picked up another skirt that she had bought the second time she shopped and then paused. Then without announcing herself she went out and walked to the center of the room. She turned slowly and then looked right at Mitch. "Well do you approve?"

"Oh I approve alright, damn Buck, you lucky bastard."

"That I am. Even after meeting a stunning woman named Faith, I just had to keep staring at Nita."

"You met Faith?"

"Yeah, you know her?"

"No, but I know who she is. What's her last name?"

"Coulter or Cotter…no Culver; Faith Culver."

"Well I'll be damned."

Anita was close to Mitch as she said, "Whoever she is, she seemed to have a thing for Buck."

"And you still came home."

"She's very easy to look at."

"She's the wife of an old fart that owns Discovery for all intents and purposes plus thousands of acres of farmland. She's his trophy wife. Did you meet him too?"

"No, she was with some arm candy. She said he was part of her hubby's security team or something like that."

"And she liked you."

"Seemed like it. She seemed to like Gabe too though."

"Well, she is like royalty there."

"Nita even has her e-mail address."

"Damn you two, better feel honored then. It's like being knighted by the queen of England."

"How do you know so much about them?"

"Hank told us a lot."

"That Hank is a strange one, and the more we were around him, the less sure I was about him."

"We'll tell you quite a story about Hank and his boys later. Like maybe another day."

"Why, are we overstaying our welcome?"

"Of course not, because we have stories that will surprise you and shock you."

"Great."

"We're likely to be talking a long time."

"We'll buy breakfast." 

Mitch laughed and Layla asked Anita, "What is the other skirt in your hand?"

"Mitch, close your eyes so I can change."

"No. Layla and Buck get to watch."

"Close your eyes like a good boy and I'll try to find you a treat later."

"Sounds like I'll get a milk bone, but okay," and he closed his eyes. Anita made sure they were closed and then she unzipped and let her gray skirt drop to the floor and slipped the other one on as Layla watched. 

Layla jumped up and went over to Anita and whispered in her ear, "You're not wearing panties."

"No, I'm going to tease Buck pretty soon by flashing him."

"That's not fair, I'm wearing panties."

"Why?"

"Because Buck will…or might see up…between my legs."

She smiled and agreed saying, "Well there's always that chance."

Layla smiled and said, "You don't care do you."

"Not really."

"Can I open my eyes now," Mitch asked.

"No," Layla said, "She's not ready yet."

"But it's a tiny skirt."

"Give me a minute, love," Anita said.

"Anita, I like the school girl look. Kind of slutty but I still like it."

"Everything I bought looks a little slutty." Then, smiling at Layla, she turned to face Mitch and lifted her skirt to her waist and started to do a wicked hip roll. She was doing great and slowly turned until she had gone all the way around and smiled at Layla before facing him again. "Okay hon, you can look now."

Buck immediately said, "You just missed something great man."

"What?"

"Nita just lifted her skirt and did one hell of a sexy dance right in front of you."

"Now damn it, Nita that's not fair."

She backed up to him and resumed her place in his lap and that gave him an excellent peek of her chest including the edges of her nice brown rings. She wiggled again and leaned back raising her skirt as she went. But with the skirt raised it blocked his view but gave Buck and Layla a wide open view of her pussy. "There honey, I've raised my skirt for you too."

"You're not the least bit funny."

Not to be outdone Layla said, "Buck, close your eyes."

"Why, I've seen Nita mostly or totally naked a lot lately."

"Just close your eyes and behave." She watched him closely and then lifted her skirt and pulled her panties off and tossed them aside where he could see them. "Okay lover boy, it's safe now." He opened his eyes and saw nothing different until he saw the small puddle of white panties on the floor not far from her chair. He was still sitting at the end of the couch and processing that information when she went over to him and sat very close to him and then lay across his lap with her back against the armrest. "Now give me a kiss and behave because we have stories to trade." He did as he was told but now his hand rested on her bare belly. As his eyes scanned her form draped across him, she raised one knee and opened herself to Mitch and Anita's eyes. Buck knew what they were seeing and it was driving him crazy. Then Anita let her knees separate and she toyed with her skirt hem to make sure that Layla and Buck could see her treasure. 


Chapter Forty Five


Anita looked at her husband and smiled as she told him, "Okay Buck, you start our story." It lasted almost four minutes before Anita was interrupting him with additions, because like a typical guy he was giving the short hand version, except for the parts that were the sexiest. Part of his problem was, his eyes were still dropping down to the sexy and leggy creature across his lap. Her right hand rested on her pelvis and her fingers were curled in the fabric of her skirt, but she didn't move as Buck talked. The four of them seemed settled down and the words flowed, first from one couple and then the other. But all that time, very imperceptibly, Layla was coaxing the hem of her skirt up higher and higher as Mitch and Anita watched her. Layla was having a great time and Anita was trying to figure how to improve her own show. After all, she couldn't let Layla get too far ahead of her. Buck hadn't told them about Gabe and Carly, so they went through that and then their names came into the story more and more. Anita wasn't coming up with an original idea for teasing, so she did the same thing as Layla, and very carefully and slowly her skirt came up and showed Mitch more of her thighs, and then more again. 

By sharing their adventures, they were all getting a little stirred up as they recalled different erotic or nervous moments of their stay. Anita told them about her time shopping when Bert caught her naked, and not once, but twice. That caused a shower of flattery and suggestive comments from Mitch, and then Layla started their story about having her picture taken and used against her. Then the subsequent entrapment by Hank, and then she stopped and looked over at Mitch for guidance. "Oh God, I don't know if I can finish this story now."

Buck pulled her closer as he bent as far as he could and kissed her. "But love, you have to now. This all sounds very serious. So what happened next?"

She looked up at Buck, and then at Anita, and pushed on. "Well, once he had us on the other side of the wall, we couldn't get out and I can't tell you how frightening that was. But it was going to get worse."

"Or better, depending on how you look at it," Mitch added.

"Well, that's true too. Okay. While Hank was talking to us through the intercom, two women enter the room from behind us. Eva and Aggie as it turned out." Mitch's hand was resting on Anita's thigh and the story continued. "I still can't believe this happened, but as I tell the story, I can relive what I was feeling both, good and bad. Well, as Mitch watched, both women started to undress me while Hank watched from the other side of the wall. Remember, I had no choice in the matter. He had those pictures of me and that really had me worried. Anyway, it wasn't long before I was standing there naked with Eva on one side and Aggie on the other, and Mitch a few feet away watching all of this unfold." Layla took a breath and glanced up at Buck before going on. "The details all kind of run together, but in essence, they started to run their hands all over me. At first I hated it and felt defiled, but they were gentle and were touching me in just the right way and in the right places." She looked right at Anita and said, "Just for the record this wasn't the real me and I was trying to fight it I really was, but…well…"




It's All About Faith Pt. 03



"Layla, I understand believe me, and I'll tell you why later."

"Well I lost all desire to resist, and that's when Aggie went over to Mitch and undressed him. He was..," and again she made eye contact with Anita and tried to be tactful saying, "He was so ready. So…Eva was…this is all a little embarrassing. Eva was doing everything to me it seemed. She was…you know kissing me and my breasts and…you know, on down, and there was that damn Hank on the other side of the wall and still watching. But then Eva, using her hands and…you know her mouth and she was inside of me and…oh God." Anita was leaning forward now fully wrapped up in Layla's story and remembering her own experience. What Anita failed to notice was when she leaned forward Mitch gathered an inch or so of skirt fabric in his hand as he slowly worked to coax the hem higher up her thighs.

"Well like I said, Eva was all over me and she was very good. I not only didn't fight it anymore, I encouraged her. I could feel my orgasm close, but it was like it was just out of reach and dancing around me in defiance. Then I looked over at Mitch, and he was naked, and Aggie was on her knees and taking him deep in her mouth. I wanted to watch them and see her make him cum, but at the same time I wanted to kill her. Those were fleeting thoughts though, because between Eva's skills and seeing Mitch nearing his climax, I just lost it and I didn't want Eva to stop now. Hank and his women had won, and all I could do was go along with it. Even now, I can still remember what it felt like." Layla had been about half there as her mind was wrapped up in those memories. She took a deep breath like she'd just woken from a hypnotic trance and smiled. "That's when Mitch and I learned all of that had been recorded. All of that was a simple set up so they would have something on us to keep us from talking about Discovery."

"No, you're kidding."

"We wish. According to Hank that movie is now safely put away in their safe as long as we keep quiet about the village." "Well, there's one of our unbelievable stories." 

"That's really bad, illegal as hell and scary."

Anita didn't want to keep talking about the bad side of Discovery so she changed the subject. She was still oblivious to Mitch's scheming fingers so she said, "I said I understood about your experience with Eva, because something happened to me that I want to say was beyond my control and in a way it was…but technically I did have a choice. It was Thursday night when we went to see the local entertainment…a show they called it."

"We know all about that show, Nita. Did you find out they show what they do on channel three?"

"We found out about half way through our stay."

"Did you know you can buy DVD's of what they do?"

"No, really?"

"We have two of them in fact."

"Let's watch them later, honey," Mitch threw in. She just looked at him and said, "Let's wait and see okay?" She just didn't know if she was ready to watch porn with Buck or not. Layla was now back to easing her hem up to show her husband more of her pussy and Buck more of her silky thighs.

Buck and Anita's new friends must have been on Layla's mind because she asked, "What are Gabe and Carly like?"

"Like us really. New to all of those experiences, found the town by accident and so forth. You'd really like both of them" and then looking at Mitch he added, "Especially Carly." 

They guys smiled at each other as Anita said, "I think Buck and Carly have the hots for each other. Well, I don't think, I know they do."

Layla looked up at him with big eyes and a pouty expression and asked, "So you don't love me anymore?"

"Honey, hurricanes and lightning bolts couldn't keep me away from you."

"But you love Carly."

"I like Carly…a lot…but I love you…." She just smiled up at him as her fingers worked her hem a little higher.

"And you've seen her naked."

"I have had that good fortune yes. She's like you in some ways actually. Not as good looking of course, but interesting. I even know her bra size."

"Is that right, is she a thirty six B like me?"

"So that's your size. It just so happens that is her size. Small world isn't it?" 

"Well now I have to meet her. I have to meet who I'm competing with you know," and Buck kissed her again.

Anita was listening to them as they flirted with each other and her hem went higher as well, and between her and Mitch, her hem was getting dangerously close to showing more than she had intended. But she just had to keep up with Layla. "Layla, you'll like Gabe. He's very much like Buck only more suave."

"Hey, that's not nice. Big deal, he talks fancy."

"Okay, who tells the next tale?"


Chapter Forty Six


Layla moved just a little which made Buck look down at her and that's when she pulled her hem up another notch before she said, "Mitch and I have two more big stories. But one of them is so personal and intimate, that you'll have to forgive us if we lose our nerve halfway through on that one." She was keeping good eye contact with Buck as she once again looked up at him as she started their next story. "This has to do with our Thursday night show. It was nothing elaborate in the least, but we were still very affected by it. There were two couples that came out and started by undressing each other. One couple was Jim and Aggie."

"Oh shit, the same Aggie that undressed you honey," Buck said. "And of course Jim…the Jim from the toy store right?"

"That's him." Then Layla looked at Anita and said, "So you did go into the sex shop."

"Yes I did, but I was undecided until Carly talked me into it."

"Okay, the show. I'm not going to describe most of what they did because it was pretty typical. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it because we knew the actors. Now for Mitch's benefit, I have to mention Wendy."

"Yes, Wendy from the boutique."

"That's her and she does love her sex."

"We know. She's about the hottest in town in fact."

"You sound just like Mitch. So there we were in the front row and the two couples were going at it. I was wearing a top like yours Anita, and this skirt and of course no underwear at all. Well sort of by accident, or maybe not I let my legs drift apart…toward Bill and Wendy. Mitch had his hands between my legs and was driving me crazy and I was trying to watch both couples because they were getting so close. Then bang, and one by one they climaxed and Mitch was still after me. But then things took a turn. Bill got up and helped Wendy to her feet and the shared an embrace and a kiss. I looked like a total slut with my legs spread, and then just as Bill really looked at me, Mitch lifted my skirt and totally exposed me to him. I still can't believe the rest of it. Bill came over to me and kissed me like…well he really got me, but then he wiped his finger across the end of his cock and put it to my mouth. I actually tasted him and Wendy right there. I…I can't believe that I'm using the word cock in front of you two…when I've tasted another man's cum and tasted Wendy." She took a breath and said, "Then Wendy came over and kissed Mitch so deep I thought I was going to lose him and she told him something like, I'll bet we'd be hot together in bed. Just like that. Wendy, the woman he was lusting after all but propositioned him." Layla was looking for any signs of a bad reaction, especially from Anita, but all Anita was doing was just staring at her best friend and trying to picture her behaving so recklessly. 

"Then," Layla said, "Then…Jim kissed Delia who was watching him from the far side of the front row and walked over to me. He's still naked and with at least half of an erection and…oh and he's shaved down there so that makes him look even bigger than he is…and he walked over to me and asked me if I was okay. I could only nod my head as I stared at his cock still wet with Wendy's juices. I just stared at it." Layla swallowed and went on. "Then he moved very close to me and put his lips to my ear and whispered for me to touch it…damn it, I can't tell this story without using crude slang so forgive me, to touch his cock. The more he talked the more I stared at it and the harder it was getting again. His voice was so smooth and soft as he whispered to me again to touch it before I went home. He claimed that it was staying hard just for me. What a line, but right then I believed him. I thought that I was getting him hard again just by staring at it. Can you believe it, I reached out and touched his wet cock. When I look back I realize I was playing in Wendy's…oh hell in her pussy juices. That got me almost as much as the fact that I wrapped my hand around his cock. Then he just backed away, smiled and went back to Delia and got dressed. I don't even remember the next few minutes. I just know that we went outside and down to get a couple more of Ethel's iced teas and rested for a minute."

Mitch now had Anita's skirt up far enough that he was looking at her puffy pussy lips. He was going to touch her but for the moment he just wanted to watch her and to look at her pussy. Buck saw that his wife was exposed to Mitch and the two men made eye contact for a brief second. Both of them were hard and Buck had to wonder if Layla could feel his cock push against her back like a lump in her pillow. He was also aware of what Layla was doing with her hand and her skirt hem and he wasn't going to wait much longer before he would help her.

"Now the second story we mentioned is really an extension of the first one, both on our last night in town. I said I wanted to get away from people for just a little bit and try to absorb what we had just seen and been a part of. We were still so wired and confused at that point. In case you didn't notice, there's a green area almost across from the 'Welcome to Discovery' sign. It's not large and it's not finished like a park. Just an area clear of trees or bushes and was mowed at some point. Anyway we walked up there because it was so much closer than the motel. We sipped our long potent drinks as we stood there and we talked and kissed as my high heels buried themselves in the dark dirt. We talked long enough to almost empty our glasses and then," and she looked at Anita and then up at Buck and said, "And then Mitch raised the hem of my skirt and tucked it into my waistband and reached down…well he was teasing me and then in no time I was out of my blouse and bra and the teasing continued." Buck chose that moment to let his hand rest on her hip so he could get a handful of the material and let it rest there.

"We glanced around to make sure we were alone, but we were away from all of the activity on the street and I so desperately wanted Mitch. My shoes and feet were wet with the gathering dew but I didn't care. Damn it, this is so…I can't tell this story without telling you every intimate detail. Mitch was all but naked and I had his," and she looked at Mitch because she hadn't thought about the fact that so many personal details would have to be told. To her it felt like she was inviting Buck and Anita into their bed as she and Mitch made love. "I had his cock in my hand. The same hand that had just held Jim's wet cock and Mitch had his hand between my legs. We were just ready to lie in that wet grass when we heard a voice telling us what we were doing was against the law. He identified himself and had a police badge and a gun on his hip. Then he explained that being naked and so forth meant we had broken the law. Then he told us we'd have to spend the night in jail and pay the fine in the morning. Mitch asked if we could just pay the fine in the morning since we had no way to run away even if we wanted to. He talked all nice and understanding and then explained that sometimes things could be worked out in lieu of the fine and jail. Then he laid it out for us. It was so late that the twilight was getting pretty weak, but he told me I had to finish getting naked. I was so near that as it was and he had plenty of time to look at me. As I did that he was getting his hard cock out."

"Oh no, Layla, he didn't."

She gave Anita a thin smile and said, "His hand was slowly slipping up and down in a slow motion rhythm as he explained that he had been a police officer somewhere else, but I guess he had a penchant for voyeurism. Then he told Mitch to strip naked too and then stand behind me. So there he was with his cock out and in his hand, still dressed and his damn leather badge holder and his sparkling badge hanging from his belt. It almost sounds laughable now, but at the time we were scared witless. Then Mitch was told to play with me while he watched. For some reason it was better for him to watch Mitch and me than for him to be all over me. I'm so thankful that was the case, but it's still weird. Then, believe it or not, he told Mitch to be sure he did it right so I would enjoy it. It was important to him that I get excited. I had to play with Mitch's cock while his fingers were in me and then he was to make love to me while Ernie…that's the cop…watched us and jacked off. He stood there watching us and describing what he was seeing and what we were doing. All of that was what we had planned on doing anyway, but we just didn't think we'd do it under orders from a cop while he jacked off. Well, to make this long story just a little shorter, Mitch and I made love and I all but forgot about Ernie. He was talking about how hot I was and describing my…anatomy…no, he talked about my pussy and so forth. Then he told us what he wanted us to do. Then I was to catch Mitch's cum in my mouth but…" and she looked into Buck's eyes again as she said, "I'm almost embarrassed to say I never wanted anything to do with having his cum in my mouth. I just knew it would taste awful and feel worse in my mouth. Then on top of that, I had to swallow it. Well, that's what I did of course because I had to, and then a minute later Ernie shot all over my breasts and belly. Well, that's it, except for us walking back to the motel with Mitch's cum seeping out of me and Ernie's cum drying on me."

Anita leaned more firmly into Mitch's shoulder and arm and said, "My God, what a frightening thing to have happen to you." 

"I was scared out of my mind, but once I was into it, I just didn't care. I was still so full of desire left over from the show, and then with Mitch driving me crazy before Ernie appeared; all I wanted to do and think about was making love to Mitch. Oh, and one more thing. I really do like having his cum in my mouth now."

Anita looked at Mitch like she was talking to him only as she said, "Like Layla, I don't know if I can tell our last story, but I'm sure Buck will finish if it I can't. Layla, watch him closely and you'll know why once you've heard this one." Anita told them how after returning to the motel Thursday night and Buck tricked her into thinking she was with him when it really was Gabe who's cock she was holding and sucking, and it was Gabe that undressed her and almost made love to her. "Layla, can you believe that I was that easy to deceive? It's amazing what we can convince ourselves of when we want to."

"So when Gabe took your mask off, you were okay with the truth?"

"Like I said, I must have known all along so it didn't shock me. With me lying there naked and him almost on top of me my heart jumped and I couldn't move or talk for what felt like minutes, but…" and she looked at Layla seeking approval finished with, "But yes, I was very okay with it. I just couldn't take the situation to its logical conclusion."

Mitch gave her a serious look and Anita asked him, "What's wrong?"

"It's just that...," and he glanced at Layla and then added, "That I don't want you to be with this Gabe…I mean…at least not yet."

"What are you saying Mitch?"

"I want you and me…us to have a chance first."

Her hand went to the side of his face and gently brushed his hair back as she asked him, "Are you jealous Mitch?"

"I don't know. I can't even keep up with what Layla and I are experiencing and now it's like it's…damn it I can't sort it out. Maybe I am just a little jealous, but that makes no sense either. Seeing Layla over there with Buck doesn't cause me to feel jealousy and I love her more than anything or anybody in the world."

She continued to caress him and looking into his eyes as she told him, "If or when I get all of this straight in my mind I want you to be first. You will be first okay? I like Gabe very much and it's hard to deny that I'm attracted to him. But it's different with you. With you there's a bonding. You make me feel loved and that you care about me as somebody special in your life."

"Of course you are and that wouldn't change even if you and Gabe were to…well you know."

"I do know that when that special day comes, we will make love. We won't just have a romp between the sheets, we will make love," and then she kissed him very tenderly and left it there. 

Buck and Layla had been listening to the two lovers but when Anita kissed Mitch, Buck told Layla, "I hate to leave. I mean I really hate it. I like feeling you close to me. But Anita and I need to get home and settle down. Like you and Mitch, we have some talking and sorting out to do and to get our emotions under some kind of control. I feel like we've suddenly experienced freedom for the first time, and we're at risk for going off the deep end and make a string of mistakes or get somebody hurt."

"I don't want you to go either, but I think you're right. We are very close to doing something that wouldn't be smart to do right now."

The four of them stood up and each went back to their spouse and shared a long embrace. Once they were on their way home, Anita told Buck, "As much as I enjoyed being with Mitch, it felt wonderful to feel our arms around each other again."

"I couldn't agree more honey."


Chapter Forty Seven 


Buck and Anita had a message on their machine when they got home, so after she hit the button and they heard Gabe say, "Hey, call me whatever time you get in because it's important. I mean really important," and he left their number just in case they had lost it on the way home. Anita had a concerned look on her face as Buck placed the call. As soon as it was answered Buck said, "It's me, what's going on?"

"It's a good thing you left your room door unlocked when you left."

"Why? What the hell happened after we left?"

"Carly and I were just ready to leave when, for some damn reason, something caught my eye. Small and inconspicuous, it was a tiny camera, probably a small digital system. That caused me to do a thorough search of the room and I found one more across the room."

"What the hell?"

"I'm not done. I went to your room before the housekeeper could get there and sure as hell, you and Anita were recorded as well. Everything we did and everything we shared. It's all stored someplace or on channel three or whatever the hell the case is."

"Shit. Do they know you found them?"

"I don't think so. They aren't likely to be using the cameras in the morning. We remembered the four of us discussing peculiarities about this place, so we wanted to think and talk to you and Nita about this mess. On top of that, what about your other friends that were here. Where did they stay?"

"Room three."

"That doesn't surprise me, and I'll bet either some of, or at least most of the other rooms are set up with cameras."

"I'll bet you're right. So now if any of us try to do anything, they have some powerful tools to protect themselves and make life hell for us."

"Exactly. Or add to their collection."

"Can you get up here so all of us can get together to discuss this?"

"Not before Wednesday afternoon after four."

"Then let's meet at the Outback here and then continue our discussion here over drinks."

"We'll be at the Outback at five then. Look forward to seeing you two again too."




It's All About Faith Pt. 03



"Same here Gabe, and thanks for perhaps saving our collective asses."

"Way too soon for those thoughts, but it's good that we know now, see you then," and he hung up. Buck told Anita the other side of the conversation and then he called Mitch right away.

After hearing the bad news, the first words from Mitch were, "Oh shit, that isn't good. How the hell did he happen to discover them?"

"Don't know, but if anybody would it would be Gabe. His eyes don't miss much. He's an engineer so he's always analyzing things. He's into detail things I guess."

"Well, I'm eager to shake his hand that's for sure. Okay then, we'll see you for dinner Wednesday night."

After talking to Mitch, Buck told Anita, "E-mail Faith and ask her if she knows of any home that might be for rent for a few weeks. No, wait. E-mail her and sign it with my name."

"Honey, renting up there could get pretty expensive, and why? It isn't as though we can be up there that often."

"I don't even know that we would rent it, but then, we'll know if that's possible if it comes up Wednesday night. We'd tell her that we want to rent before we look into buying a home up there. The best defense we can have is to know as much about them as possible. The old saying, know your enemy is still good advice, and right now they are our enemy."

"Why would they use what they have of us in the motel room?"

"Or us at the show, or at the boutique. We have to be paranoid now. We have to assume they watched us from arrival to departure. Why would they record us if they didn't have a reason to do that? I have ideas of course, but I don't know. I just know I don't like the idea that we were spied on, and what of Layla and Mitch? They have that footage of the two women making love to Layla and all of that. Assuming they treat all of their visitors from the outside world the same way, the village safe must be getting pretty full from their spying. That's one of Hank's jobs so that's why he's so friendly and attentive. He's feeling us out, and setting the outsiders up to be put into compromising situations so they can spy and record. Yeah, that sounds paranoid too, but considering how they live, they have to be damn protective and keep word of them from leaking to the outside world."

"This is so unreal."

"All of us have commented on what a different and unbelievable town that is. It's a triple X playground and nothing more." Then he smiled and admitted; "Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing of course." 

She had to smile as she said, "Well it was a good thing for us while we were there."

"For the time being, they have us exactly where they want us, because we can't say anything to anybody about anything. The hell of it is, I'd hate to see anything happen to Discovery. We just have to be free of their leverage over us." The Village of Discovery wasn't a constant topic of conversation for any of them as they waited for their meeting at the Outback, but it never left their minds either. Monday and Tuesday night, Buck spent time putting his thoughts down on paper and made a list of things they could think of that might be significant or at least warrant discussion.


Chapter Forty Eight


They were almost at the restaurant Wednesday evening when Anita said, "I hope Layla and Mitch like Carly and Gabe."

"I'm sure they will. They are all very likable people and we all sure have something in common now, if not before." Mitch and Layla were going to be a few minutes late, but Carly and Gabe were there and patiently waiting just inside. Carly kissed Buck and smiled at him as she patted his butt as Gabe did the same with Anita. They requested a table in a corner someplace and with drinks ordered, they talked and Gabe booted up his small notebook computer. It wasn't easy but they delayed talking about Discovery until Mitch and Layla could arrive, but they were getting antsy until they finally appeared about twenty minutes later. Introductions were made and Mitch kissed Carly's cheek and made over her before sitting down still apologizing. "Things are pretty hectic at the office right now. I could have worked a couple more hours, but this is just too important. Gabe, I want to thank you for discovering those cameras. Were they well hidden?"

"They weren't easy to see, and I still don't know why one of them caught my eye. Maybe a quick glint from the tiny lens or something, but as soon as I paid more attention, it wasn't all that hard to see. Lens about three eighths of an inch and tucked into one of those gaudy relief style wall hangings." That was the end of that discussion as they perused the menu and placed their orders. Then it was get acquainted chat and talk about Discovery in general. The boutiques and the restaurants were talked about the most until the show topic came up. Gabe told them, "I call that place the Playhouse."

That's a good name for it," Layla said, we sure saw some playing when we were there."

"So did we," Buck added. Once again their conversation drifted to other things as they tried to save Discovery until after they ate. That lasted until Ethel's Long Island iced tea was mentioned, and that led them to Ethel having a part in the Playhouse action. Buck continued with, "Do you suppose there is anybody in that town that hasn't, or doesn't occasionally, get on stage at the Playhouse? Or for that matter, any other actions that we don't even know about?"

"That we don't even know about is a good point to make and to answer your question, my thought is I doubt it," Mitch said.

"And what about channel three? I didn't watch it that much, but I saw no repeats, so either a lot of people are contributing, or they have a large selection that they have collected over a period of time."

"Here's another one" Anita said, "Where are the houses that you'd find even in a village as small as Discovery? There are none that we saw driving in. Has anybody been down the road at the other end of town?" There were five negative answers.

"Here's one thing that would be great to know, when did they rename the town, or better yet, how long has the town been so wildly liberal, and what started it down that path?"

"You're good at this, Anita. Wait a sec," and he typed feverishly. "I want to jot all of those questions and thoughts down."

They were quiet for a minute, but before Gabe could finish Mitch asked, "There are little delivery alleys that run down behind the businesses on each side of the road, has anybody looked back there?" Again all negative answers. "Well if nothing else, we're coming up with a lot of good questions."

Anita sipped the last of her iced tea and waited for Gabe to catch up and then said, "I sent Faith Culver an e-mail asking about any possible rental homes up there for a few weeks, and then maybe a couple of months once it's warm next year."

All eyes went to her as she said, "She replied to me last night and said she knew of none," and the others waited to see if she had more to say. She did have more. "Faith keeps a small place there for friends and family, as she put it, but admitted it hasn't seen much use and we were welcome to stay there for a modest fee…that she didn't name by the way."

"Probably full of cameras," Gabe said.

"That's certainly something we would have to keep in mind."

Buck told them, "I'm pretty sure I could get away for a couple of weeks and stay up there, but that isn't possible for Anita, so somebody else would have to go with me."

Anita smiled and said, "If you're thinking you'd spend a couple of weeks in Discovery without me, but with Layla or Carly, you better rethink that." They all laughed at that but then Gabe said, "But Buck, you have the right idea. We need to experience that town over a period of time, when it rains, or whatever. Just their everyday life without the dog and pony show they put on when new people come to town. The more any of us are around the locals, the more they are going to let their guard down and make mistakes."

"That's great," Carly said, "But it wouldn't look right for just Buck to go up there alone. That wouldn't feel right to them I'm sure, and Anita, I wouldn't let him be up there with me for weeks either," and the group laughed again. The waiter made his rounds and cleared the dishes and made sure everybody was done. Once the checks arrived, Gabe closed his notebook and after paying their tabs, they all went to Buck and Anita's for after dinner drinks and more conversation. 

Anita played hostess making sure everybody had a drink, and then the group picked up where they left off. Opening his notebook, Gabe said, "Okay more thoughts?" 

"I have one," and Layla put her glass down. "This is just a theory with nothing to support it right now, other than minor circumstantial details. Hank is the power and probably the brains of at least the day to day operations, and perhaps plays a bigger role than that. The director, we'll call him. When a new couple pops into town, he's on them in no time. He's very cordial and makes you feel special because the town leader is willing to spend a lot of time with you and even buys dinner. We saw him as a skilled and calculating business man, so we know he's not some country bumpkin. He dresses in shorts and unflattering shirt to further his common man image, but it's all packaging and that much we do know. So let's say now he's spent time with I'll call them, couple A. If he's as good as I think he is, he has sized them up and decided how they should be handled. Share details about the village, or just work on them to usher then out of town. If they are to stay, then he passes the word there are new suckers in town, and the others go into action, each playing a role for lack of a better term. Have I lost any of you yet?" All of their heads shook no, so she continued. "Okay so, now the suckers are free to roam the village, spend their money and be further sized up. Wendy or Mae at the boutiques, or Jim and Delia at the toy store, also evaluate couple A. Now let's say the Lady couple A is trying on something at…oh say Casey's and the woman is built nicely, or there is something about her that has meaning…like a touch of exhibitionist in her and she flaunts herself in the store. Maybe Mae puts the call out, and some guy or couple magically appears. Lady A gets looked at so she's smiling. If needed, they can pop some pictures of her for security reasons. The guy gets his jollies, and they now know they have a player. Somebody with tastes that might mean she'd fit in there for a short visit. They can decide from there how it will play out. There is even a cast of sorts, for example there is Wendy."

"Wait," Buck says. "What is the purpose for this scenario? What you describe really fits what we've experienced and I like where it's going, but what is their motive? Money? There's not enough potential there."

"I know, and I'm having trouble with that part, but maybe if Buck and somebody go up there we can get an idea about that. So anyway, we have Wendy the town slut, but she just happens to be a slut that loves what she does and she's good at it. Then there's Ernie, the half sociopathic officer with a badge and a gun, another player that probably doubles as a stud for some of the shows. He has the equipment for that role." Then she looked at Carly and Gabe and said, "There's a story there but we'll save it for another time. There's Jim and Delia too. They keep the place stocked with adult toys and novelties, and provide Playhouse services, a cast member for the Playhouse if you will. So we have the director, we have security, and we have a large supply of cast members."

"Like very big dick Dan, Faith's arm candy," Carly adds.

Layla looked at Anita and said, "We didn't hear that story."

"And that's a good one, so we'll tell you all about it later. It was part of the show at the Playhouse."

"What we don't have, is the reason for this production, the funding behind it, a producer who would be Hank's boss, and so forth. I have no doubt that at least a lot of what I've said is accurate, but I have to agree there are a lot of blank spaces in my scenario."

Gabe leaned back and said, "But if we can't find a plausible play of our own, we'll never get them to further lower their guard so we can gather more information. Buck your idea is dead on, but I don't see how we can make that work. There is just too much bonding between you and Carly for you and her living together and not get in over your heads, and I'm sure the same can be said for you and beautiful Layla."

"Thank you Gabe, and you're right. Buck and I are carrying some pretty heavy baggage aren't we love?"

Buck smiled and said, "Yes we are, hon."

Carly looked at Buck and asked him, "Can you see yourself as doing a decent job of acting?"

"If it doesn't require a lot of script memorization."

"It requires none of that. It would require Anita's permission of course and some discussion and so forth." She looked at Gabe and said, "What about Kali Newberry?"

"Hon, she's fresh out of a divorce, and besides, remember we're talking about a small village with very large surprises and big secrets. We're talking about her getting naked, or nearly so in front of Buck, who at this point she, doesn't even know. We're talking about Buck pretending to be a philandering husband with a different woman on is arm, and they have to be believable as having a torrid relationship to be convincing." He looked at Buck and all but laughed as he added, "Of course, I'm sure Buck could, um…rise to the occasion, but he has to be convincing and the same with her. Bringing a stranger into the mix could cause problems."

"But hon, it could solve some too. What you just said is part of it. Buck is a player. There he is in town for an extended period of time with some new chick. Hank will be all over that and the games could begin with their guard lowered at least a little right away."

"I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade here, but how could this Kali bring herself to play that role. I mean from the way you two talked, you and Gabe wouldn't be likely to have anybody in your circle of friends that would fit that role."

Carly looked at Gabe and then back at Layla and said, "We've known her for a long time, but the one drawback is, it would take her time to reach a point where she might be able to deal with some of the issues. That said, I think she is our best hope. The only real question is would she do it first of all, and would she feel like she could be convincing in that role. If yes to both of those, then it's up to Buck and Anita."

Buck seemed to be getting into the idea as he said, "We'd have to create a whole package for this ruse, a different last name for her, a good explanation how we met, and how it is that she could be up there and not worrying about a job. Which by the way, how about that? She no doubt has to think about her income."

"Kali is like Gabe said, recently divorced. Well, maybe three months ago. She and her ex have been fighting it out for some time, but when the dust settled she came out of it with a very nice settlement, not huge, but enough that she doesn't have to work very hard to supplement her income."

Anita then asked, "So what does this well off single and available woman look like, Carly?" The others laughed, but it was an understandable and even a predictable question. 

"She's not as good looking as Layla, or even you or me, but she's far from ugly. Nice, but petite shape, in good shape because she has a trainer and so forth. Not a personal one, but one that helps her take good care of herself."

"Assuming she would say yes, this is coming together a little too easy. There must be something we're forgetting to consider."

"Honey," Buck said to Anita, "One thing I'm not forgetting, is the reason we're going to all this trouble and expense. This is serious, and a lot is riding on how we handle this. I can be convincing in my role and I know that, but we need to see if this Kali would be willing to accept a part in our play. Gabe, what's your take on Kali? Good for the part, a little flaky, might fall apart under pressure?"

"Good for the part actually, she's pretty comfortable with herself. Not arrogant, but just used to taking care of herself. She's pretty smart actually."

"Like Anita said, 'this is going too smooth. Where are the pitfalls that are going unnoticed?"

"Here's one," Mitch said. "Timing, we're going to run out of warm weather and we don't want to wait until next spring. That's extending the risk too far. Bad things could happen, if for some reason, their house of cards were to come under attack from others. Videos, photos, and details about us and a lot of other people could be spread all over like a bad disease. My business could go to hell; Layla's career would be in the trash and so forth. I'd say no longer than a month from now but even that is stretching our luck."

"Well there's one big pitfall, anymore?"

"Here's one," Anita said. "What if you and Kali discover you two are a pretty good match? I'm taking one hell of a risk here remember."

"Honey, we do have to talk about that, and meet Kali, and you two talk a lot. Only then could the decision be made. I'm not looking for fun and adventure. I already love two women…" and he looked at Carly and added, "and I'm not far from adding a third one. The last thing I need in my life is the complication of a fourth woman."

"Well remember, you might have Faith to deal with."

"She won't be a problem as long as I don't show up there alone."

"Well, that is a good point in favor of your plan."

Layla got up and said, "Time for refreshment refills," and headed to the kitchen.


Chapter Forty Nine


Carly and Anita followed Layla to the kitchen and the three of them talked about the risk Anita had to consider. Layla's arm went around her waist as she said, "Nita just remember you have every right to say no to that plan. I think it's a good one, but if it were Mitch rather than Buck, I don't know what I would say. In other words, if you say no, we'll come up with another plan."

Carly added, "I feel the same way Nita. The four of us had some pretty damn close calls in Discovery, and all of that just bonds us closer together. What I'm saying is, this decision is yours alone, without regard to anybody, or anything else. I agree, the plan is a good one, but only you and Buck can make this decision. Either way, we'll support you completely, now and later." "Thanks. I love Buck, and I know he means well and means what he said in there. Under normal circumstances, I feel that I could trust him completely. If and when we were to ever share…or swap or whatever, I think it would be a mutual experience and not a one sided one. But that's expecting a lot from Buck. He'd be living with Kali. Not just seeing her on the street or having dinner with her, but living with her. Being together late at night as they wind down from a very stimulating day, and wandering around in the morning as they got ready to face the new day, all the things that we do everyday as a married couple and don't think twice about it. There they will have to think about it every time. No wandering around naked, or walking in on each other in the bathroom. And sure as hell, no watching channel three together," and the three women laughed. "Thanks for your support, and if I do agree to it, expect to have me at your door looking for support, or maybe even crying out of loneliness or frustration or fear."

We'll both do everything we can to support you."

"One other thing too, if this does go ahead, and if Buck does stumble, we can't ostracize him and beat him for falling to temptation. I'd never want him to know I said that, but we're all human and we all have our limits. We all know what it's like to get caught up in the fun times in that damn town …excuse me…village."




It's All About Faith Pt. 03



"Nita, would you like me to call Kali and talk to her?"

"Now?"

"It's still early, but it's up to you. You couldn't decide anything until you met her, so at this point, there is nothing to lose."

"You're right. Yes, call her if you would. We need to get that video of me sucking your husband." They looked at Nita, but she was smiling bravely.

All eyes were on Carly as she dialed the number and waited in silence. It took four rings, but Kali answered and Carly said, "Hi Kali, it's Carly."

With the phone on speaker Kali said, "Hi Carly, how are you?"

"Great. Listen I'm in Scranton with friends and we have a big problem."

"No, I don't do blind dates and I'm not looking for a man."

Carly laughed and said, "Don't worry; we're not trying to fix you up."

"Then I won't hang up on you. So what's up?"

"I know it's a lot to ask, but this really is important. It's less than twenty minutes for you to get here so…would it be possible if you could meet us here. There's something very important to talk about, and over the phone wouldn't work very well. It would mean a lot to me."

"Now?"

"You'd be home before eleven."

"Well, that's true. Okay, tell me how to get there." 

Carly gave her the directions and then added, "A drink or two will be waiting for you, Kali."

"I hope so. Okay, the cavalry is on its way so just keep shooting and keep your ass down," and she hung up.

"Is she always like that?"

"Always, and I love her to death."

Anita smiled and said, "Well, she said the right thing without even knowing she did. She's not looking for a man, period. Yes, I know the risk is still there, just as I said, but at least that lowers it a little. Actually, it's just as important what Buck thinks of her and how they would get along. It won't work if they argue all the time."

"That's very true. Okay, let's take the drinks in and tell the guys."

When they went back in the men were in the computer room. Layla told them the drinks were ready and when they came out Buck said, "We were doing some research on Max, Faith's husband. He's wealthy, by anybody's standard, so we were looking for information on him. You can't be that rich and not attract attention. So far all, we know are things that we already knew for the most part, but Mitch said he'd work on it at home." 

"Kali is on her way up here to talk to us."

"Tonight?"

Carly said, "I told her it was urgent and that we needed her help, but I didn't explain what kind of help. So before this evening is over, we could know what will happen next and maybe even when."

Conversation about Discovery slowed down, because any more speculation and rehashing would be a waste of time. Anita and Buck did tell the story about Peggy's conquering Dan's huge cock, not once but twice and they tried to decide if Peggy was able to walk Friday morning. For poor Dan, that was probably the first action he'd had in a long time because there weren't that many women that could ever accommodate him.

Then Kali arrived and Carly and Gabe went out to greet her.


Chapter Fifty 


Layla and Anita met Kali, at the door and they talked for a few minutes before going in and introducing her to Mitch and Buck. Carly was right. Kali seemed just as she had sounded on the phone. She was straight forward and pleasant, even with the unknown still looming. Layla made her a tall vodka and tonic and they settled in the living room. Buck was cordial and smiling, but he was also assessing her. Physically she was just as Carly had described her, at least as best he could tell. She was wearing very conservative shorts and a loose top, and she wasn't fat at all and her eyes were clear and alert. As he ticked off different things about her in his mind, he felt like he was appraising a horse and almost laughed. When she did look at Buck, she made good eye contact and he decided he liked her. He was also very relieved that he didn't experience any powerful urges so screw her. It was all up to Anita, but in less than five minutes, as far as he was concerned he had decided she would be great for the job. 

Then the hard part began, telling Kali the whole story without taking all night to do it and without scaring her off. She had to go in with eyes wide open and well informed though, so it would be a fine line for them to walk.

"Buck," Mitch said, "Why don't you tell Kali the story."

"All of it?"

"We'll jump in and help on occasion, of course. Give her the fast version and then we can go back and answer her questions if that's okay with you."

It would be the two of them on the firing line so that was as good a time as any to get them used to each other. Buck moved his chair until he was closer to her and he could watch her face as the story unfolded. He knew a lot was riding on this so he didn't want to blow it. Good eye contact, but not so much that it would make her nervous.

He took a deep breath and smiling at her said, "This is a long story and a somewhat complicated and very personal and intimate story, so if at anytime I offend, you just let me know. I intend to enlighten you, but not titillate you, though that may be a byproduct. Okay, here goes." He swallowed and said, "Background first. This started out involving Mitch and Layla only. They and Anita and I are best friends, and the four of us were classic conservative museum attending, non swearing conservatives. We were as straight and proper as about anybody you'll ever meet. So…Mitch and Layla decided they needed to get away for a few days of much needed rest and distraction form daily life. They got lost, had serious car trouble and ended up in the very small village of Discovery. That's what the sign said, Discovery. Now I'm leaving out a whole lot of emotion, crisis, adventure and frightening moments, all within a matter of days, not weeks, not even a week, and just days. They went in as I just described them, and came out a totally new couple, with a totally new way to look at life, and how they wanted to live. Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it."

"Very much so, but please continue."

"We'll come back to enough of the details to help you understand, but it will take more than just tonight to really paint you a true and proper picture. Okay, so now they are home and licking their emotional wounds and celebrating their experiences at the same time, very difficult to do. Anita and I know because we had to go through the same process…or rather are going through the same process. Yes, they told us just enough about Discovery to fire our imaginations, so we too went there. Keep in mind this village is in the middle of nowhere, but we'll get back to that too.

Okay, so now Anita and I have experiences very similar to Mitch and Layla's, and we too come home fully confused, excited, changed forever, afraid, and so on, again, all in a matter of a few days, four days to be more precise. Yes, I know I'm leaving huge gaps and all of this, though interesting in its own way, isn't giving you the meat of the story, but that's coming." 

He moved his chair closer to her hoping that might help them bond faster. Sitting right in front of her he said, "If you would give me your hand, left or right," and she did, leaning toward him in the process. "Okay…nice hands by the way…okay. Now I'm getting into the intimate and possibly very embarrassing part, so if at anytime you want me to stop, just pull your hand away. I'm going to speak graphically, because to try to be delicate would take too much time, possibly give a wrong picture, and besides it's nearly impossible to avoid dirty words. Ready, Kali?"

She smiled and said, "You have me so curious that I can't wait to hear the story."

"Okay. Mitch and Layla went into this little town, put their car in the garage to be resurrected, and stayed in the motel just down the street. Now Discovery is very small. Businesses lined up on each side of the road, and no earthly reason for that town to exist, at least to the casual observer. Two of those stores are women's boutiques, offering an impressive array of items of very good quality and reasonable prices. But here's an important detail about those stores. Keeping in mind they are open to the public, man or woman…. picture this. Towards, or rather at the back of the store, is the dressing area. Note I said dressing area, and not dressing rooms. You see, it's a very nicely carpeted area of about…oh, ten by ten or twelve, a couch along one edge of the carpet, two nice side chairs, a couple of tables…well you get the idea. Like a nice waiting area. You can stand there and scan a good part of the store…and that's where you try things on, things from tops, to pants, and shorts, to bras, and even panties. Got that picture in mind, Kali?" She was watching him closely trying to decide if she was misunderstanding what he just said, but she knew that wasn't the case.

"I get the picture. It's hard for me to believe though."

"I know. You should be in there trying something on when a man or two happens to come in, calmly check you out, and then hang around at the checkout counter a dozen or so feet away."

"Why?"

"Good question, but that will be answered as the story unfolds. Now across the street is the other boutique, a lot like the first one, with similar merchandise, possibly different lines, but all in all similar. Also with the dressing area in the back where there's a good chance you will be looked at as you undress. Diagonally across from that boutique is an adult toy store."

She smiled at that one. "You are kidding me right?"

"Oh no, and it's a very nice and very clean and well stocked toy store. I know, because we shopped there too. Can't you just see our conservative lifestyle just melting away like spring ice in boiling water?" Now walking down the street you will almost certainly encounter decent, if not good looking women dressed in tiny tie front tops, and short shorts, or ridiculously short skirts. Oh, and just for fun, they wear neither panties nor bras."

"And you had a wonderful time."

"Oh, indeed I did. Remember, Mitch and Layla went through this just a week or so before we did. I can't remember if it was Layla or Anita that said the place was a cauldron of erotica, temptation, and sex. Nobody of high school age, or of advanced age is there. Another description of it was a sexual play land for adults only." He smiled and looked at her hand still in his, so he continued.

Now the start of the real meat of this story involves Mitch and Layla. Layla, would you like to give Kali a brief description of your meeting with Hank."

Buck continued to hold her hand and keep an eye on her, while occasionally glancing at Anita and sharing a thin smile with her, as Layla spun her story about having to submit herself to two women making love to her and all those sordid details. Still Kali's hand stayed with Bucks hand. After a brief discussion of how frightening that was Buck asked her, "Still with me?"

"This is all so incredible, but I'm still with you Buck."

"Now, I'm not trying to do this in any real order, but rather give you snippets of events to give you the set up for our problem. Other very adventurous and erotic events happened to them, and between them, that we can talk about another time. Things like Layla in the dressing areas different times, because you get desensitized and those items in the boutiques are so very interesting and tempting. Oh, and one of the clerks whose name is Wendy, is very good at showing you other items to consider, very nice and sexy and desirable items that just happen to keep you naked, or nearly so in that open dressing area. Okay, so on, we go to the adult toy shop. Jim and Delia know their products inside and out and I don't mean that as a euphemism. When you go in there you are treated very nicely right down to free coffee and conversation, and out you walk with a bag of their goodies and little more worldly in the process. Later, when Anita and I were there we watched Jim screw Wendy in fact, a very impressive and performance, especially when you're sitting in the front row about ten feet from them."

That one made her lean forward and stare into his eyes. He looked right back at her and said, "That's right, Kali. Mitch and Layla during their stay and then Anita and I during our stay, saw live shows involving some of the locals. I have to say for very amateur performances, it was very entertaining. Anita even wrapped her hand around Jim's cock just before he dressed. I'm leaving so many details out, and I'm sorry, because so much of the emotional impact and life changing moments are missing. But I'm sure you're getting the idea about Discovery right?"

Her head slowly moved up and down, but after glancing at Anita, her eyes were riveted to his again.

"This…village is for real?"

"It's very for real. Now with all that's going on of course, couples like Anita and I get very…aroused as you can imagine, so aroused that we're driven to having sex in our motel room, and very nearly having sex with others. Our pores are oozing pheromones, and our desires are running rampant. The most used word sometimes is yes. On occasion, 'maybe,' or 'later,' will appear, but not often. A couple of times, 'I just can't' was uttered, but only very reluctantly. Another thing happened to Mitch and Layla, Gabe and Carly, as well as to Anita and me. We were all videoed photographed and recorded...without us being aware of it, and all while naked or nearly so, frequently in the throes of passion. Fucking actually and all manner of other shared events. Not all between husband and wife, of course, because that makes the most impressive situation. Now all of those photos, recordings, and videos are in the possession of the village of Discovery."

"Oh my God, no, that's illegal."

"It is illegal, offensive, and just wrong on so many levels. We're not taking any moral high ground here. We just fear for our privacy and in many cases possibly destroyed careers and businesses, all very real and reasonable fears. This is where you come in Kali."


Chapter Fifty One


Buck had stopped talking and was letting what he had told her sink in. They were still holding hands, but the eye contact was broken as Kali looked at all of the others one by one. "Kali," Gabe said, "Like Buck just said, this is where you come in. We need your help."

"I don't know what I could possibly do to help you. That needs to stop and you should be made free of fear of exposure, but I just can't help."

"We all agree it has to stop, but if we say anything or try to follow traditional solutions, we could end up causing the very thing we're trying to avoid."

"In a way, we're being blackmailed," Buck said. Not really, but that's what it feels like. It gets even more complicated than that. None of us wants to destroy Discovery. We all like the little town, and for the most, part the people in it. But the way they are doing business has to change one way or another. If the town and the people suffer then so be it, but we'd rather that not be the case."

"But you don't seem to have any options."

"We just may have one option…with your help."

"You keep saying that, but there's nothing…okay, explain to me how I can help."

"Will you say yes if I can convince you that you could hold the key to everything?"

"Of course I will. At the very least, I'm so curious about the town that I'm supposed to help save or destroy, but most of all, this has to stop. How many others have been affected?"

"We don't know the numbers, but it has to be a lot of people."

"Tell me what I can do to help then."

"Live with me up there."

She looked over at Anita and then back at Buck and said, "What? How the hell can that help your problem?"

Buck gave her a quick run through on the roles they would play and what they hoped to gain from it. They would be pretty busy if they were lucky enough to do everything they hoped to.

"Buck…" and then looking at Anita asked, "What do you say about this, Anita?"

"I think it's a good plan, Kali." She wasn't going to get into her own issues. That's something she would have to just work out with the help of her friends.

"So just to be sure I understand all of this. I'm to live with you Buck and make it look like we're being intimate…having one hell of an affair."

"No, make it look like we're fucking like rabbits. Sorry, but that's the mind set we need to be in. We need to be lovey on the street. Walk with our arms around each other, at least occasionally, hold hands and so forth. Pretend that we've been married two weeks kind of thing. Batteries always charged."

"Okay, that parts not difficult." 

"Good. You will almost always be wearing skimpy slut clothes. We'll chip in and buy those for you. of course. Most of the time, no panties, and no bra. Not always, but most of the time because that shows that you're in that mindset. We have to see to every detail. I can help a lot since we were just there. I know how outsiders behave and progress and so forth. I know how they like to see the woman change from average sexy to their brand of sexy in a matter of days."

"What about those cameras you talked about. Won't they know we're not bouncing on the bedsprings?"

Buck looked at the others and said, "Damn a pitfall that we missed. Okay we have to work that one out somehow. I don't care if they see me bare assed but that doesn't help."

"Besides, that would likely mean I'd see you bare assed to."

"Good point. Okay that's a glitch, but we can still make it work."

"Okay. So while we're there we will…go shopping a lot right?"

"Right. Try on…oh shit." "Another glitch, huh."

"Okay…wear panties and bra then."

"But you just said no…"

"On the days we do the boutiques wear panties and you don't have to try on bras. Not exactly typical of what we've experienced, but it isn't essential."

"This could get pretty complicated."

"Oh I don't expect this to be a walk in the park." Then he looked at Layla and smiled remembering her walk in the park with Mitch and Ernie.

She took another deep breath and asked, "And what else? Oh the toy store. That I can handle. I won't be able to look you in the eyes but I can blunder through that okay."

"Well, there's the sex show."

"No. Not the sex show, really?"

"It would look pretty strange if we didn't. The whole damn town turns out for that, especially the outsiders."

"Anita, what do you think?"

"I think both of you are in for a very tough time and me too, but he's right Kali. It wouldn't look right if you missed that. Thankfully, you don't have to be in it though."

Kali almost laughed as she said, "Well I hope not. That might cause a whole lot of discussion and more." Buck's thought was at least she didn't say she'd run like the wind to get away. And Kali was still holding Buck's hand.

"Another pitfall," Anita announced.

"Shit. Okay what honey?" "Bed. Think cameras, bedtime cuddling, while they watch. Now not lovemaking, don't get me wrong here. But like you said Buck, all lovey."

"Another pitfall," Carly announced, "A big one this time." Buck's shoulders fell and he closed his eyes. Their plan was going to hell.

"I'm afraid to ask what it is, Carly."

"You said a few minutes ago…details. Pay attention to the details, right?"

"I did because as we know those things add up."

"You have to sleep naked…together."

"Well there goes our plan, shit," and Buck let go of Kali's hand and leaned back in defeat.

Kali was looking at Carly as she asked, "Do you really think that would be necessary? I mean that one thing?"

"This whole thing is supposed to be about sex, and teasing, and erotic things, like tiny skirts, and…the whole package. Details, details, details, and I agree they are very important. We're blowing their whole system open just by observing details and adding them together. We don't have all the answers by a long shot, but we have enough to know what they are doing. We still have to figure out how and why, especially why, in fact, if we know why, we'll figure out the how."




It's All About Faith Pt. 03



"Wait," Buck said sitting forward. "This will be at Faith's house, so no cameras."

"Do you know that for sure? Do you know that she isn't part of this mess? We were told she does allow people to stay there on occasion. Probably more important people but so what, cameras work on them too, and in fact, perhaps more profitably."

Anita stood up and said, "Okay ladies let's go to the bedroom and talk about this. There has to be a way around this mess," and they left the men sitting there wondering why they were being excluded. Mitch mixed them each one more light drink and they sat around and talked about Discovery more than the plan. It was all but in the toilet anyway.


Chapter Fifty Two


About fifteen minutes later the women came back with Anita announcing, "The crisis is past. We have a solution to all of it. Well, after a fashion we have." 

Buck straightened up and asked, "Okay how?"

"Well the bed thing is a mixed success. You do have to sleep together and you do have to be naked. But, if you're careful it can be done. Buck, you get undressed and get into bed. You've already said you don't give a damn if they see you naked, so that means Kali will see you too. Now once you're in bed, you can position yourself so you can close your eyes without that being noticed on the camera. Problem solved."

"Yeah right," Buck said. So Kali and I are in bed…together…naked…and we have to snuggle, and kiss good night, and make it look real, not like some grade school drama class. You better go back and think again because that still puts Kali in a bad situation."

"Me? What about you? Okay, so say I get into bed with you and we're naked, and we snuggle, and kiss, and make a show of it. What if I really can deal with that…can you? For a week, or two weeks, or whatever, can you be close to me and have our naked bodies together every night and still resist trying something? Careful how you answer that now, cowboy."

Buck could only smile and say, "No damn, it we all know that isn't likely. Kali, I'm sorry to drag you up here only to have the plan crash."

"I think we can still make it work somehow."

"I don't think so. We have the undressing in the boutiques issue. We have the walking around and being cozy issue. Going to the sex show issue, and the sleeping together naked issue, and we haven't even finished talking about all of it, including some of the details of our experience there. We have to touch on those so you can get a feeling for what we'll have to do to make it look real."

"Well, we're staying with the plan and we'll just deal with this point later. We can cancel later if more trouble comes up right?"

"Well, we'll have time because Kali has to go home, and everybody has to work tomorrow."

"Buck, think positive, okay," said Anita. "We can't just put this problem off, or walk away from it. Waiting until spring solves nothing, because we'll have the same problems we have now, and maybe more of them by then. Also, unless you guys need your beauty sleep, we can talk for another couple of hours because Kali's staying in the guest room tonight, and we can talk or review things tomorrow as soon as we can get together."

Buck looked at Kali and she just smiled innocently and said, "Yes, you have a house guest tonight, so behave yourself and don't run around naked okay? I'm not quite ready for that. I like to know my men at least a day before seeing them in the buff." Everybody laughed and relaxed. Maybe they were still on track after all. They took turns telling about some of their experiences while in Discovery. In the beginning they all watched their words and tried not to sound crude, but a word here, and a word there slipped into the conversation, until they gave up on the cute euphemisms and told their story. And Kali handled it just fine. Her eyebrows went up a few times and her back straightened several times. Still, there were stories left untold. Like when her friend Gabe's cock was in Anita's mouth and they almost made love. 

When they finally gave up, they had done a good job of giving her the full picture of what she should expect. After work Monday would be used for review and going into better detail about some things. They told her about Hank and what they saw his role as being and to stay away from Ernie. Then they relaxed, had a couple of drinks, and then everybody went home to await word from Faith about the cost and availability of her small place. Then Buck would take the time off and he and Kali would live together, for however long until they accomplished all that they could in Discovery. The discussions continued as they once again went through all of the complications. But one thing was becoming clear…Kali was determined to see it through. The others left just after eleven and the three of them chatted for a bit, finished their drinks, and tidied up a bit Buck and Anita got ready for bed a little before midnight and had just slipped between the sheets when Kali came in unannounced. "Buck, there's something I need to say."

He flinched and looked at her like she was on fire. She looked down at herself and said, "I just threw it on."

"Well, you almost missed."

"You should recognize it, Anita loaned it to me and I'm smaller than she is." He looked at her and she just smiled back. She went over to him and said, "Scoot over, I want to talk to you for a minute." He moved until he was almost in the middle of the bed and she slipped under the sheets and over close to him. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be naked. Oh well. Look…I just want to say that we…you and I…have to look at this as a mission, a job that has to be done, if we can enjoy ourselves during the day so much the better. We'll put on our show for the troops and all of that and at the end of the day we'll go back knowing we've done what we went there for. We'll get a good nights sleep and then do it again. Maybe take a day off and go someplace, because it would look suspicious if we were around town constantly. We could take a day off, and just hang out and read and rest. Whatever, but just look at it like going to the office and getting the job done, okay?" He hadn't said anything, so she moved closer and put her arm around him, kissed him and again asked him, "Okay?" 

His arm was around her without him giving it a conscious thought and he finally said, "Okay."

"Anita, do you have any thoughts to share?"

"I don't think so. It's like you said Kali, a job that needs to be done and then come home."

"Right. Go shopping, and I'll try a bunch of things on to give them plenty of time to check me out in my panties, or call in the troops to spy on me. Then off we go again. Simple. Now kiss me good night, love." It was more her kissing him, because he was still trying to catch up, but he managed to recover in time to respond before she got up. "Night you two, see you for coffee," and she slowly and casually walked out and went to bed.

Buck turned over and putting his arm over Anita asked, "What the hell was that all about?"

"She just wanted to make her point is all."

"What part did you play in that?"

"What do you mean?"

"We both know she wouldn't have just charged in here, slide into bed next to me, and then rubbed herself on me, just because she felt like it."

"She could have."

"But she didn't; now why did you put her up to that?"

"To help you two break the ice. You don't want to leave all of that until you get up there. That would just add to the stress and you will have plenty of that up there."

He pulled her over to him, kissed her and said, "I love you."

"I know. Just don't forget that detail once you're up there watching dirty shows with her."

"Oh shit, did you tell her about channel three?"

"No."

"Good. That's one thing we don't need while we're up there."

That's true. Night, honey. I love you too and don't forget that either." He just flipped the light off and snuggled close to her again and went to sleep.



It's All About Faith Pt. 04



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter Fifty Three


Faith didn't reply to the e-mail until Friday, but it was good news. "Buck and Anita, the house is available. Just give me the date of arrival and a best guess on how long you will be with us. Maybe dinner at Ethel's one night? You've missed the Saturday celebrations so be sure to catch at least one weekend with us this time. Stay well, and looking forward to seeing you again, Faith. In minutes they had talked to Kali and the dates were set. She would arrive early Tuesday morning before Anita left for work, and they would be in Discovery no later than two o'clock. Now Buck was getting nervous about their plans, but even more so about being with Kali in such a challenging environment. She was a little thinner and smaller than his idea of an ideal woman, but she was attractive and had an energetic style. But then he wasn't looking for a long term relationship with her, so he could afford to have a critical eye and work at picking her apart. Maybe, that would help him walk that tight rope as he played the part of her lover on one side, and as Anita's devoted and faithful husband on the other. To Anita, Kali had the perfect body with toned muscles and that lean shape, and she was afraid that Buck would see her that way as well. It was going to be harder on Anita letting them go up there, than on Buck being up there in such a teasing environment. She knew he'd do his best to behave, at least as much as the circumstances would permit, but she also knew that he wouldn't succeed. That just wasn't being realistic. Unknown to Buck, she and Kali had talked about that at some length. Kali knew that what she was getting into would be much more trying than she was letting on to Buck. It wasn't like he was so hot she would melt as soon as they were alone, but she did consider him handsome and charming and Anita knew that. In fact, Anita felt flattered that Kali felt that way. Even though Gabe and Carly were her good friends, Buck and Mitch edged Gabe out on the overall attraction scale. The real test would be once the cohabitation began. She wasn't a naïve starry eyed girl, so she knew exactly the challenges she faced, and the challenges they faced in getting what they were going up there for. About the only thing she had no clue about, was how she was going to cope with the temptation. 

As soon as she arrived the morning of their departure, Anita poured her a cup of coffee and they disappeared into the bedroom for one more talk, and one more time that Anita had to hide her tears while Buck sat at the table, sipped coffee and began feeling much less sure of himself in all aspect, Kali being his biggest challenge, the biggest challenge of his life.

The women returned and Kali kissed his cheek and said, "Sorry to neglect you love, but we needed a little more woman to woman time. So...are you ready to go slay the dragons?"

"If I'm not ready I never will be. I take it you are?"

"Like you said, it's now or never. I had a couple of ideas of things we can do, and we can talk about those as we're going down the road. Now Anita said she has to get to work, so I'm going to your bedroom and give you two some time alone to talk. Holler when it's safe for me to come out," and she disappeared.

They put their arms around each other and kissed lightly before each of them announced their love for each other one more time. "Nita, I wish I knew what I could say that would help. I'm not going to insult you by making grand proclamations of unwavering faithfulness, but I will try, and I mean that. I'd rather abandon all of this than lose you, and I mean that too. I don't know how you found the strength to push this plan ahead when we all knew that you would have a harder time dealing with this than any of us."

She kissed him again and said, "It will be hard and I'll cry, but I'm okay. Not great, but as long as you come home to me I'll be okay in the end. Had this plan called for you to go to Discovery with Carly or Layla, I couldn't have survived that. Kali is bad enough with her perfect body, perfect teeth and..."

"And she's skinny and almost hyper."

"She isn't skinny."

"Yes she is. Skinny and hard as a rock."

"You make her sound like a store mannequin."

"Oh, she's not that bad of course, and I do like her, and I don't see any major arguments coming. But we're hopefully, going to have our heads full with what we want to do and our eyes busy looking for little details."

Anita kissed his cheek and said, "Like little Wendy, or beautiful Faith, or one of the other charming morsels. I just wish we weren't going to be out of contact the whole time."

"I do too. That alone is going to be really hard to accept."

"I'm late for work, honey. Be careful, be safe, and enjoy being up there. I don't expect you to come home and say you did nothing but work on the project. Oh, and remember, don't mention channel three."

"Hell no, that wouldn't be good for either of us." He walked her out to her car in the garage and stayed there until she left. Then it was back inside and he called for Kali. She came out and checked his eyes for tears and then hugged him without saying anything. He blinked his eyes a couple of times, and then they headed for Discovery. It was a very quiet ride for the first ten miles as he focused on traffic and tried to keep his mind on what lay ahead of them. Then Kali looked at him and asked, "You doing okay?"

He smiled and nodded his head as his eyes stayed on the road ahead. "I'm okay. You ready for this adventure?"

"I hope so Buck," and he looked at her before they exchanged a fleeting smile and they drove on.

Chapter Fifty Four


Kali was wearing modest shorts and a loose fitting white cotton blouse untucked and her makeup was somewhere between very subtle and non existent, the perfect look for their arrival in Discovery.

"Buck, do you have anything in mind for when we get there?"

"Not really. We'll go to Ethel's and get the key and directions to the house and get settled. I guess we should take a walk through town so you can get a feel for the layout, and let the locals get their first look at you."

"You make me feel like I'll be a fish in an aquarium."

"You probably will have that feeling for awhile, but not because of me. Kali, in spite of all that we hope to accomplish, we're going to have a lot of free time. We're there for a week, or two weeks, or whatever as much for face time, and to just observe as anything else. There just isn't a lot to do there, so I hope you brought some reading material. I hope we don't get so bored that we end up fighting with each other."

"I brought some reading material. Why did you mention fighting, are you short tempered?"

"I don't think so. Anita has never complained about it anyway."

"That's because she loves you."

"I know. I'm convinced they have phones and internet, but for outsiders it still doesn't exist, so we can't send e-mails or make calls. In other words, we'll be pretty isolated."

"I remember you telling me that. It will be like remote camping deep in the north woods."

"Except we'll have indoor plumbing and a bed to sleep in."

"Don't remind me I'm still working on that." He did his best to look comfortable with the idea and smiled at her before looking straight ahead again. "Just for the record, I've never, and I mean never, done anything even remotely close to this."

"I wasn't going to ask, but I was assuming that was the case."

"Thank you for that."

"Kali, what happened to cause the divorce, or is that a verboten subject."

"Not verboten, but not pleasant. We had different ideas of what a spouses role and responsibilities were in a marriage."

"Nuff said."

There were long stretches where they didn't talk and that seemed to make both of them a little nervous, each wondering if the other one was regretting their decision.

They made the last turn and Buck said, "Not much farther now. You'll see the little water tower first, that's used for the volunteer fire department, and then you'll see the little village sign."

"Buck, I'm nervous. I'm trying not to be, but the closer we get the more the reality of all of this hits me."

"I know, believe me. Kali, all we can do is take it little by little. One foot in front of the other, and talk, and be honest with each other. We just have to remember to be careful about what we say, until we know if Faith's place is fitted with cameras."

"And we have to be careful how we search for those so they don't catch us playing detective."

"Maybe the first thing we need to do is have a stiff drink, or three, at Ethel's before we go to the house. Ethel's is the only place in town to get drinks."

"No it isn't. I brought three bottles." He looked at her and she smiled as she told him, "You know to help us sleep."

"Oh."

When they entered town they slowed down and Buck pointed out the green door, and what was behind that, and then Casey's Boutique, and the toy store, and on down the line ending with the small grocery, not far from Dwayne's Auto Repair. "I'm going to have him change my oil so I can chat with him and see if he'll share anything. He's good with cars, but he's not exactly a Rhode's Scholar, so maybe he'll slip and divulge some secret." They parked near Ethel's and before they got out Buck said, "Okay honey, game time. You ready to make with the lovey dovey and endure Ethel's stares and questions?"

She took a deep breath and said, "Let the show begin darling," and they got out. She came around the car and they joined hands as they cut across the empty street and went into Ethel's. The bell on the door announced their arrival and Ethel came out from the back and stopped. Her look was a little cold until she realized it was Buck and then she smiled and said, "You confused me, where is Anita?"

"Working."

"I'm Kali, Kali Brighton," she lied.

"I take it you're a good friend of Buck and Anita's."

"I'm a good friend of theirs and Buck felt sorry for me, so here we are. You know, a nasty divorce and all of that."

"Glad to see you. Did Buck tell you about our little village?"

"He just said the residents are great, the boutiques are a treasure trove for a woman, and that you make a wonderful Long Island iced tea."

She smiled at Buck and winked at him with her right eye so Kali couldn't see it, and then asked, "What's your pleasure?"

"Long warm summer nights, Ethel," Buck answered. They shared a knowing looks and then he said, "I remember a very tasty vodka and tonic the last time I was here."

"Make mine a gin and tonic."

"Coming up."

As soon as she had disappeared she took Buck's hand and whispered, "Well, am I doing okay so far?"

"You're doing great. We're off to a good start. We've established that you don't know anything about Discovery, and she really bought into that one, and winked at me, and that Anita knows we're here. Nice trick with the phony name by the way."

"Thanks."

Ethel was back a couple of minutes later and served the drinks before putting the house key and directions in front of them. "The house is just a couple of doors past the motel so you can't miss it. How did you ever manage to get the key to Faith's house?"

For some reason she and Anita clicked, and well...here we are."

"Well, lucky for you two. So how long are you staying?"

"Oh, maybe a couple of weeks."

"Lucky for you two then, but bad for Anita."

"Yeah it is. She can't wait to get back here."

"So what are your plans if I may ask?"

"Oh...relax," and he glanced up at her and then added, "Get Kali some proper clothes," and again they exchanged glances, "And walk the town square a few dozen times, and relax some more."

Ethel laughed and said, "Sounds like a busy schedule."

"It is, but we'll just have to push ourselves." Ethel smiled at Kali and then left them to their drinks.

"She acted so casual and chatty, but she got her questions answered."

"Yep, and I'm sure there will be more before it's over." They didn't spend a lot of time on their drinks and then putting money by the cash register, Buck called out, "We're leaving Ethel, see you for dinner."

She came out of the back and said, "See you two then. Hope you enjoy our town, Kali."

"Thanks Ethel, I'm quite sure I will."


Chapter Fifty Five


They found Faith's house very easily and they sat in the car for a minute before going in. "Look Kali, houses scattered along the road and up and down that small cross road. I've never been out on this side of town."

She smiled and said, "Do you suppose this is the seedy side of town?"

"Not if Faith lives here. She's too high maintenance to put up with riff raff." They had enough luggage to see to their needs for a month, so it took Buck two trips to get it inside. While he was doing that, she was slowly walking the walls looking for cameras as she pretended to check out their new digs. "Look honey," Kali said, "It's very nice here."

"It is," and he put his arm around her and did his own scan of the room. They did a full tour of the house like that and then took their bags to the bedroom. Kali started to ask which side of the bed he wanted, but that was something she would be expected to know. Her heart was racing and her mind was dancing through a string of thoughts. She had to make it look convincing, but she wasn't even close to ready for anything intimate. She put her arms around him and pulled the back of his shirt up so she could feel his warm back as she looked up at him and turned him a little. If there were cameras, which should give them a good shot of her teasing him. A nice start she told herself.

Then Buck kissed her, a long and gentle kiss. She recovered from her surprise and returned it, as they lingered and her hands stayed with his back, and his pulled her blouse up and did the same. He toyed with her bra strap to tease her, but left it hooked as the kiss continued until she broke it. She looked up at him and in a soft whisper she told him, "Oh shit."

"Kali, we better find a way to make it look good without getting...carried away."

"We better do something. Eat a lot of onions or something." Then she put her lips to his ear and whispered, "What was that stunt with my bra strap?'

"Just teasing you."

"Well, you better stop teasing bucko, you scared me. We just got here and you're already acting up."

"I'll try to behave."

"I'm scared and you're going to try...not do, but just try to behave?"

"I promised Anita that I would try so I will. I always keep my promises."

"Was there something in your drink at Ethel's?"

"Just vodka, why?"

"I don't know...there's something...maybe it's in your eyes. I'm going to check later, because I just may see horns appearing in your hair. Now if we just hang around here you're going to do something to get into trouble, so it's time for a walk."

"Well let's see...there are so many choices...there's...I know let's walk to town."

"Smart ass, I should have waited until Mitch could come up here with me."

"Now that would be a mistake on his part."

"And why?"

"Well, Layla and I go way back and we...we have a history..."

"I can't tell if you're lying or telling the truth and that is not a good thing." She pushed him ahead of her and said, "Come on, we're going to town."

"You're pretty strong for such a little thing."

That time she smacked his ass. "Now I am not a little thing, I'm just lean."

"You're skinny is what you are. You need to eat a few desserts or something."

"Great. Two weeks of insults, how could I be this lucky. Anita failed to mention that about you."

"So you two talked about me."

"Yes and she told me to keep a weapon near me at all times."

"Very funny, come on skinny, we're on duty now. Lovey dovey remember."

"Don't push it, even lovers get into fights, skinny, my ass."

"Well yes, but don't be too hard on yourself." One more hard push had him outside and they locked the door.

They settled down and as they walked Kali said, "So this town is supposedly supported by those houses we saw."

"Well, we were told there are a lot of outlying farms and mini farms, so there are other people that come here."

"Still doesn't add up."

"That's right."

They hadn't walked far before Kali said, "I am not skinny. I'm lean and fit and I have nice features."

"Oh, it's flattery you're looking for."

"Well not from you I'm not. You'd just make something up."

His arm went around her waist and pulling her closer as they walked he said, "Okay, the truth. Damn that complicates things." That got him an elbow in the ribs. "No, I mean I have to be careful. I'm supposed to be detached and aloof and just pretending to bond with you. Okay. I love your eyes."

"That's it? One detail and with no adjectives, no elaboration...just I love your eyes. Damn you're chintzy with nice words. Never mind. You keep testing me and I'll just go back and hide behind a book."

"I do love your eyes. I had plenty of time to study them as we talked remember?"

"Of course I do, and you made great eye contact."

"Thank you. They look bright, and alert, and I love your lashes because they are full, without being gunked up with...whatever that brushy stick is."

"Mascara."

"Yeah, I like your natural look. And...and I like your lips, full, without looking like they're full of collagen or whatever."

"Thank you, now you're doing better...but do you mean any of those?"

He stopped and turned her to him but his smile still kept her suspicious.

"I meant everything I said."

"Then why do you look like you're ready to laugh?"

"Because I'm having a great time being with you."

"Now don't get serious on me, damn. You're supposed to be pretending, remember?"

"Okay, I'm pretending to have a great time with you is that better?"

"No."

"You're kind of touchy, are you always like that?"

"It seems to come out the most when I'm near you."

"Oh." On they walked with his arm still around her. As he felt her hips move and roll under his hand, he told himself that she really was too thin.

Then out of nowhere he said, "Your eyes look crisp too."

She stopped again and said, "That makes it sound like they've been deep fried."

"Okay, then I give up," and then he gave her butt and light slap and said, "Come on let's go, lover."

"I'm not your lover."

"Yet."

"Damn you," and on they walked until she said, "You walk too fast."

"Your legs are too short."

"Well I can't make my legs longer, but you can walk slower or you'll be walking alone."

"Oh, okay then," and he slowed down. He had goaded and harassed her about all he dared so he behaved after that. They passed Ma's Kitchen and Buck said, "Grace owns that and she's good for information sometimes, but never anything exciting, but there again, details and so forth. Great breakfast there too. They walked past the men's store and she asked about that but he said he didn't need anything. Then they came to the first boutique. On your right you have Alice's Boutique. "Okay, this is where Wendy works."

"That's the one that wants your body."

"That's what Anita says anyway. Of course, I may have commented on her breasts or something, so maybe that triggered some jealousy or something."

"Gee, do you suppose."

"She even agreed with me and so did Gabe."

"Okay she has hot tits. I'm happy for her."

"Yep, you're touchy."

"I'm going to put poison in your food, so write your will soon."


Chapter Fifty Six


They stopped in front of the store and looked in the window until she looked up at him and asked, "You're not thinking now are you?"

"Why not, you got other commitments?"

"Very funny, you know."

"The situation will be the same now as later."

"But I'd know you a little better later."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Good point, let's go in, the next time you come in here you might be alone." 




It's All About Faith Pt. 04



He put his arm around her little waist again just as Wendy appeared from the back. "Hi Wendy, it's Buck."

"Oh Buck, I know you, but whose your friend?" 

He looked down at Kali and said, "Friend...this is Wendy." Her arm went around him and pinched his flesh above his hip just as hard as she could. He took a quick breath and said, "Kali...this is Wendy, Wendy, Kali." It was still a second before she released her hold on him.

"Kali, are you looking for anything special. We have some merchandise in the back that isn't out yet. We're trying to get things around for the fall merchandise that should have been in days ago, so everything is on sale, but not marked down yet."

"I'll just look around I think."

"Help yourself. Buck you know where a lot of things are so I'm sure you can help her."

"I'm trying." She pinched him again.

"How am I going to explain bruises to Anita?"

"That's your problem, but then she'll no doubt know where they came from and why."

He patiently followed her around the store and came to the conclusion that all women shop about the same way. She looked at things she would never buy, or that was his opinion. Once they were closer to the shorts he stepped away from her and came back with a pair and said, "These are the shorts we were telling you about."

"Pretty...no make that very short...not my size either."

"So what size then?"

"Four."

"See I was right, you are skinny."

"Buck..."

"Okay, okay, size four coming up," and he came back with gray, white, and black shorts in her size.

She looked at them and then up at him and said, "Those are for me to try on...I mean today?"

"Well...yeah."

"You're not giving me anytime to adjust. Remember us talking about that?"

"But this is like a uniform. You need to be wearing either these or a skirt for our job."

"Let me see one of the skirts then."

He kept the shorts and found her a couple of the mini skirts. When he saw how small they looked in a size four, he stared for a minute. Then he stared at it for another minute and checked the label again and mumbled, "Holy shit," and then took it back to Kali. "Here you go, I just brought the black one." 

He watched as she held that up and studied the darts or whatever the hell she was looking at and then she said, "Well, it's short enough that's for sure. So which is it to be, shorts or skirt?"

"Well, both in different colors. We're going to be here a long time remember."

"I can always rinse them out or get more of them later."

"Not if the fall merchandise comes in."

She moved closer and whispered, "Damn it Buck, you just want to see me in my panties."

He tried to mimic her facial expression and said, "Damn it Kali, you need those."

"This will be expensive."

"I'm buying remember? This whole adventure is on me."

"Then I'll take every color of all of the styles."

He looked at her and she smiled and said, "Just teasing." Then she turned and saw the dressing area. "Is that what I think it is?"

"That's it, and you're in luck because we're the only ones in here."

"Right now, remember the door is unlocked because the store is open."

"Well yeah."

"Okay, you might as well show me the tops for this uniform."

"Wendy" and she looked up as he asked, "Where are those tops that we bought to go with the shorts and skirts."

I'll show you," and they followed her the short distance and Wendy pulled one out in a six. 

"I need a four."

"Oh sorry, that's what I thought I had," she lied. "Oh I'm out of size four, but Casey's across the street has about the same top under a different label, and I'm sure she'll have a four. Let's go try on the shorts and skirts and I'll think about what I might have for you in the back." Buck followed the women to the dressing area, and while Wendy had her occupied, he settled into the couch and crossed his leg and stretched his arms along the back. Fully comfortable and a front row seat to watch poor Kali strip her shorts off. Not for him, of course, but that was a minor detail. Wendy was on her job now, making small talk and being very attentive as she held the garments and Kali slipped her shorts off...and then looked right at Buck as her cheeks flushed, and she stopped moving for a half second that to him felt like a minute. Now he was the one staring. She turned so her hip was to him but that gave him a great profile of her butt so he continued to stare. She tried the shorts first and twisted her hips first one way and then the other as she checked the fit. "There's a mirror on the post over just past Buck." Kali walked over there and checked her image and studied until Wendy, ever the helpful soul said, "We have to get rid of that loose fitting top because it's destroying the look of the shorts." It was just as it had been with Anita. She just stood there while Wendy unbuttoned her top and helped her off with it. "See," she went on, "Even in your bra the shorts look better don't they, Buck."

"Oh, absolutely Wendy, you're always right about these things, even Anita thought that."

"Thank you, Buck. Kali, those shorts fit you nice, but I have another style that would work better with your small frame I think. Try on one of the skirts and I'll get the other shorts." As soon as she was across the store she stared at Buck and asked, "How much did you pay her to do this to me?"

"She's just being Wendy, love. Oh, and for the record, you look very nice in your panties."

"Oh shut up," and she turned away from him. 

Wendy was almost dancing when she came back. "Here you are Kali, try these shorts on, and look what I found. One of those blouses in a four mixed in with something else." Kali just looked at Buck and peeled the tiny shorts off and put on the others.

"I have to agree Wendy, these do fit a little better."

"I knew they would. Okay, try on the skirt next, because I think they are just too much. They were a very big seller this year."

"I could tell," Buck offered, I saw several of them on the street."

"That's right." As soon as Kali was down to her panties again Wendy said, "Oh wait, try this top on so you can tuck it in when you put the skirt on." Wendy showed her the top and Kali said, "I really do like the lines of that." "I do too. Oh wait though, take your bra off too, because this top is designed to be worn that way. Bras do terrible things to the lines."

"The bra off?"

'Yes, it really makes such a difference." Buck tried to make his smile look innocent and stayed silent. Kali was going to kill Buck later, and he knew it, but it was worth it because she was flustered and her cheeks were pink. Wendy patiently waited until the bra came off and Buck got a nice profile of her breasts. Small, but very pert and nice, but that's as far as he got. She slipped the top on and went to look at herself in the mirror again

"I do like this top, but not with the skirt. I have something at home though that would work so I'll take the top anyway." She turned and stuck her tongue out at him and went back to try on another top Wendy had in her hands. "Let me guess, best if worn without a bra."

"You're right, of course." Buck now had a good mental picture of Kali's breasts and they hadn't been in town more than two or three hours. This was a lot of fun, but Buck was in trouble and he knew it. Maybe if he took a lot of sleeping pills every night. Kali decided to buy the first top, and the simple tie top, and the shorts, but decided to wait on the skirts. She wanted to see what Casey's had first. Buck was going to be sorry, he said he was buying, and she would see to that.

As soon as they were outside he asked her, "Want to go to Casey's now?"

"No I don't want to go to Casey's now."

"Now what's the problem?"

"I'm a nervous wreck, what do you think? You stared at me in there."

"Damn right I did."

"Don't you feel any guilt or shame or anything?"

"Not an ounce. I thought you looked rather sexy."

"Awhile ago you said I was skinny."

"You're sexy in a skinny sort of way."

"Is that supposed to make me feel good?"

"I don't know, maybe. I liked your butt and..."

"Buck now, stop, we're supposed to stay objective and keep our minds on our tasks."

"I am....sort of."

"What else were you going to say?"

"When."

She gave him a stern look and said, "Just a minute ago, you said you liked my butt and..."

"Oh that. We don't know each other well enough for that."

"What? You just saw my breasts...both of them and me in my panties."

"Not very sexy panties."

"Of course not, I'm not trying to be sexy for you, do you think I'm crazy, I'm already having trouble with you."

"So what do you want to do if we don't shop?"

"Go to Ethel's and drink until dinner."

"Wow, you could get pretty smashed as small as you are."

"Forget about how small I am, I can hold my liquor just fine thank you very much."

"Okay then, off to Ethel's to get drunk." 

"No, now damn it, I said drink until dinner, not until drunk."

"Probably is the same thing, though."

"Honey, just be quiet and take me to Ethel's."

"Thank you, I love you too."

"What?"

"You just called me honey."

"If I did I was trying to be funny is all." She pushed him again and they headed for Ethel's.


Chapter Fifty Seven


The walk back to Ethel's was slower and they were quieter. She didn't complain about anything and Buck was the same way.

"Kali," she looked at him and he told her, "I really did like your breasts and your butt."

"Buck, please don't."

"But, as we walked the other way, you...don't you remember the discussion about flattery? So now you don't want me to flatter you?"

"I just want you to tell me the truth." 

He stopped and turned her to look at him and he said, "Okay, the truth, straight up, no joking, or teasing. Officially and for the record, I like you. I think you're fun to be with, and I think you have cute pert tits that I stared at. I liked your butt too. Round and firm, and I wished I could reach out and touch..."

"No, stop, please. I believe you, okay? I believe what you're saying and... and thank you." She started to walk again and he stayed close to her and put his arm around her waist lightly. "Buck, what were you thinking about at the store, and don't talk about what you just told me."

"I don't know what to say then, because I was thinking about you. Damn it Kali, we've been here less than four hours. I'll say that again...less than four hours. I've known you for less than two weeks; counting the moment I said pleased to meet you, and the hours that you were back at your place. All together, the length of time we've been together is measured in hours. So forgive me if all I'm thinking about is you right now. Not even us, just you. In those few hours,, I can already say I know you. You're not just a new friend, or a passing acquaintance, you're my good friend that I feel I really do know."

"But Buck, that's not realistic."

"Doesn't matter apparently."

"Okay, another question. What was it about me that you were going to say, but we don't know each other well enough yet. Now you say you know me very well."

"But, you don't know me very well."

"Maybe I do. You weren't going to say something about making love were you, because if you were..."

"No, not that, it's just one of your features that just happen to be one of those unexplainable things that pushes my buttons, something that forces me to stare at because...I don't know why, but that's the way it is." 

"So there's something about me physically that draws you or your eyes to me."

"It draws me to you, not just my eyes. It's like some people can be greatly influenced by a scent. Perfume, freshly cut wood, whatever, it triggers something in them that transports them to some special place or to some special event."

"Can't you just tell me?"

"I can, but then you'll get mad at me, be embarrassed, or just say I'm nuts, maybe all three."

"Tell me. I can promise I won't laugh, make fun of you or think you're nuts."

"But you'll blush."

"Maybe not, I'm not so fragile."

"You blushed when you undressed."

"Well, of course I did, you saw me as much naked as dressed."

He smiled at her and said, "Yeah I know." She bumped him with her hip as she smiled and went back to watching her feet as she walked, talked and thought. "Okay, but you'll have to look at me all the time we're at Ethel's and remember what I told you. It will come to your mind when we undress for bed."

"Oh God, my insides just jumped when you said that. Are we really going to do that?"

"We have to Kali. At least until we're confident there are no cameras."

"Okay, tell me."

"You don't give up do you."

"Depends, but not this time, because the more you hesitate the more curious I am."

"Okay. I love your mound. I totally love your mound."

"My what?"

"Your mound, you know your..."

"I know what my mound is, but what...how...I don't understand."

"Okay, answer my question. Do you shave your mound?"

"Mostly."

"Oh shit, then that makes it even more so. You have a very prominent mound and that just sends me flying."

"You're kidding."

"Call it a fetish, I don't know, but that's the truth. There now you know one more thing about me."

"I don't know what to say. I'm glad you find it so appealing."

"It isn't just appealing, it's sexy, it teasing, and erotic." Fortunately, they had reached Ethel's and went in. 

"Welcome back lovers, shopping I see."

"Well, I've started," Kali said with a forced smile. She was still trying to decide about Buck's revelation.

Ethel took their drink order and left them so Buck said, "So did you hear her call us lovers?

"I did."

"I guess she's convinced and that's a good thing. She'll talk to Grace, and they will talk to others, so we have at least started to establish ourselves as a loving couple."

"So what happens tomorrow?"

"Before or after we get married?"

She stared at him so he said, "Sorry bad, attempt at humor."

"It is funny, but...I guess my mind isn't working very well tonight."

"To answer your question, take the car to Dwayne for the oil change that it doesn't really need, have breakfast, and talk to Grace. I've never been in there, but maybe go to the grocery store and buy something, and see if we can strike up a conversation. Walk the square, enjoy the sights, and who knows, maybe we'll meet somebody new. Oh, and we're having dinner with Faith tomorrow night at Ethel's."

"Okay."

"Thursday night is the sex show at the Playhouse, I don't know about Friday, and unless they're done for this year, there is supposed to be a super sex show Saturday night, but I've never seen one of those."

"And I suppose it's mandatory to attend both of them."

"I have to think yes. Believe it or not, seeing both of them is going to be a bit much, but we need to do it."

"Whoever heard of going to a sex show because you have to. There's something inherently wrong with that somehow."


Chapter Fifty Eight


They did drink until dinner, and both of them were feeling the effects, but they were still able to talk and think, so they decided on one after dinner drink. As they nursed that Kali asked Buck, "Did you bring the lists and thoughts from home?"

"I did."

"In your laptop?"

"Nope. On a flash drive in my pocket with a second copy on a flash drive hidden in the car."

"My God, you really are paranoid."

"I am. If somebody steals the laptop, they won't learn anything and I can go buy another one and be back in business again."

"You are determined."

"I am. Without your help, we would be in big trouble so you really are saving us."

"You would have ended up here with Carly or Layla. All of you want something to happen, and all of you would risk you having an affair with whichever one to do what needs to be done. Speaking of that, do you really think you would have succumbed to temptation with either one of the others?"

"I'm pretty sure. I'll tell you why, Kali. When we met Carly and Gabe up here the four of us just clicked. We had fun instantly and things just got better from there. We shared a very hedonistic few days together, and watched the two of them on stage at the Playhouse."

"They didn't."

"They were pulled from the audience and it just happened. Even poor reluctant Anita was in on it."

"Oh that...right, I didn't make the connection to the Playhouse for whatever reason."

"So anyway, Carly and I...how can I put this without sounding...I almost made love to her. This damn place just got to all of us, Anita with Gabe. too. Then when we got home, we spent some time with Mitch and Layla and talking about all of the adventures each couple had, got us going. I already had a thing for her. But we were all so damn repressed, that...well, once the damn broke. we almost went crazy. So anyway, that's why I say there's little doubt that something would have happened. and probably by now. Sorry if I sound like I'm just looking for somebody to screw. because that isn't it. I just have the good...or bad fortune, depending on how you look at it, to know four very attractive and tempting women."

"Three you mean."

"Four, you're forgetting about yourself."

"Not me. You said I was skinny and small and..."

"Kali...maybe we need to talk about something else." She looked down and then said, "Okay. What are the chances that you or me, or both of us, could end up on that stage?"

"All we have to do is say no."

"But Carly didn't."

"I don't think she realized what a chance she was taking, and once it started it, just went from one step to the next. She was very brave and very sexy up there. Gabe was brave too, though. It's supposed to be easier for a guy, and maybe it is, but that still had to be pretty heavy stuff for him. We haven't really had a chance to talk about all of that.

"It's pretty hard to talk about anything here without it either being about sex, or having the conversation end up in sex. I mean talking about sex." 

"This place is all about sex, from one end to the other, and there isn't one resident, that either hasn't, or doesn't participate in it, from time to time. For Wendy, I think it's pretty often. It isn't hard to see she loves it in all forms."

"You mean with a woman?"

"Yes or a guy or both or well I guess those are her only choices."

"Another round for you two," Ethel asked.

"No Ethel," Buck said, "I think we'll see if we can make it back without falling down and call it a day. We're having dinner here with Faith tomorrow night so we'll see you then."

"Yes I know I got a note from her. See you two then, and have a sweet evening."

"We'll do our best, and you try to stay out of trouble."

"Depends on what form that trouble comes in," and she walked away smiling.

They made it back to the house with arms around each other and went inside. "Would you like to shower this evening or the morning," Kali asked.

"Morning, I'm just ready to crash."

"Buck. Damn it I knew this was coming, but it's still going to be difficult to say the least."

"Let's just strip and get into bed, lie on our backs and talk."

"We don't have to cuddle and all of that?"

"We're too drunk and Ethel knows it. You saw how connected they are, she knows about us and Faith tomorrow night."

"I picked up on that."

"Come on hon, one two three strip and let's get this over with okay? Other wise we'll be a mess the whole time we're here."

Had they been sober, they would have seen the comedy in what they did. They each turned their backs, stripped naked, and then turned and stared at each other. It was a good thing they were closer to drunk than sober, because even then, they came together in a long embrace and held onto each other like they were lifelines. Afraid to let go, fearing they would fall into the pit of carnal pleasure on their first night there. They pulled the spread down and the managed to get between the sheets, pull the cover up and just lie there staring at the ceiling.




It's All About Faith Pt. 04



"Kali."

"Before you say anything I just want to say, don't say anything nice to me or sexy or suggestive okay?"

"Oh. Okay."

"You look nice naked."

"Thanks, so do...never mind."

"If you were here with Layla or Carly and you were unfaithful, would you tell Anita?"

"Yes. I'd have to somehow."

"So you do still love her then."

He forgot about staying on his back and turned to face her and told her, "Kali I love her very much. I love Layla in a different way, and I think Carly is a neat and fun person."

"Don't talk about me remember."

"I won't...at least, not now, but before we go home I'm sure we'll have a long talk or perhaps several."

"We probably will. Thanks for the clothes."

"You're welcome and thanks for being willing to wear them."

"I'll never...well probably never wear them at home, but I do like them. I'm looking forward to going to Casey's next."

"I am too."

She was more relaxed and turned to face him and they looked at each other. "I haven't been in bed with a man since my divorce fiasco. It feels good."

"Kali..." and he moved over and softly kissed her. Then again, but not as softly, and it went on as her hand went to his back and his went around her. They came together and her firm cute breasts pushed against him as the kiss continued. The alcohol was saving them from themselves so they were able to kiss without losing control, "Night Kali."

"Night, Buck."


Chapter Fifty Nine


Kali stirred, and that woke Buck, so they turned toward each other and searched in each other's eyes, hoping for strength and direction. Instead, they came together in another soft and brief kiss and then said good morning to each other. "This isn't how I imagined it being when we woke in the morning," Kali said.

"How did you see it?"

"Waking up, and feeling shy and awkward, but alert and smiling and energized."

"The alcohol helped us last night, but it isn't our friend this morning."

"I've felt worse, but that doesn't help much now."

"Does the thought of breakfast make you want to throw up?"

"Let me think about that one, but coffee does sound good."

"Want to shower with me?"

"Buck, why do you like to drive me crazy?" 

"Okay then, I'll shower with you, but I'll stand behind you so I don't hog the water."

"All right, yes, we'll shower together, and you can stare at my ass all you want, but don't you dare touch me."

"But..."

"Not once. Whatever you do, whatever happens to you, do not touch me, understand?"

"I understand but..."

"No buts. You can even stare at my tits and my tempting mound until your eyes cross, but if you touch me and break your promise, it will be a sad day for you and your project. Now do you promise you will not touch me?"

"Yes, okay I promise."

"Then let's shower so we can go get coffee and breakfast."

"So you are hungry then."

"Don't push it." 

There was no sign of hesitation from Kali now. He'd picked on her just one time too many, and when she was feeling like crap as well, so it was time to do something about it. He followed her to the bathroom and stepped into the very nice oversized shower. But before she turned the water on, she said once more. "You promised now, so don't fuck it up, cowboy," and she turned the water on and let him get the blast of cold water before it warmed up. She smiled at his discomfort and calmly got wet and proceeded to shower while he stared at her as she moved and rinsed and soaped down rubbing her hands all over herself. Then she turned to face him and proceeded to soap down again taking her time to tease her breasts and pinch her nipples before soaping her way down to that mound that he was so infatuated with. Letting a soapy finger slip between her vertical lips she tipped her head back pretending to enjoy every sensation as she bathed between her legs before rinsing and again teasing him as much as she could. 

Poor Buck was in a trance as he watched this petite hellion tease him as she went through her ritual. Then she shaved between her legs, taking her time to trim it just right, and rinsed again. "Okay your turn, I guess," but rather than move, she soaped her hands again and grabbed his hard cock as she soaped him and moved down to cup and massage his balls. It was driving her crazy, but she was determined not to show that as she tormented him and coaxed him ever higher. Then looking calm and collected, she rinsed her hands and stepped out. "See ya cowboy."

"Wait Kali, now don't be like that...come back Kali please, we can talk about it okay?" The only way she had to cope with her emotions was to work on her hair and dry off. Just run the hairdryer and just keep moving, until her hands settled down and she could get control of herself. She had to move fast, but when he got out, she was in her shorts and putting her top on as he appeared.

"Done with your shower so soon?"

"Yeah, I'm done with my shower so soon," and he toweled down as she smiled to herself. She'd be haunted a good part of the day by feeling him in her hands, but it would be worth it. She could hardly wait to see how he would behave after what she had just done to him.

Buck was pretty quiet as they walked up to Ma's kitchen for breakfast. There were half a dozen tables of people eating or talking over coffee as they went in and the waitress brought them coffee. They sipped their coffee and studied the menu in silence, so she knew she'd gotten his attention, but she was going to let him stew a little longer before she said anything. He was glancing at her over the top of his menu and wished she would say something even if she was still mad at him, because the silence was killing him. 

He slowly reached over and took her menu away from her so she looked at him but continued to just look and say nothing. "Kali I'm so..."

"Well, look who's here," Grace said. "I knew you'd be back, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Hi Grace, good to see you again, we're back and plan to stay a couple of weeks most likely."

"Wonderful."

"Anything new in Discovery?"

"Not that I can think of."

"Not even any gossip?"

"Been kind of quiet around here."

"Too bad. Thursday nights still going?"

"Oh, for maybe a couple more weeks or so."

"You been back there to enjoy the benefits?"

She smiled and said, "No."

"Be kind of hard to top the last one that's for sure."

"For me at least, I don't think I'll ever experience anything like that again."

"Too bad."

She smiled and glanced at Kali so Buck said, "Grace, this is Kali, a very good and close friend."

"Nice to meet you Kali, you staying with handsome?"

"I am, we're staying at Faith's place."

"Oh, that's right, I heard something about that. Well enjoy your food and I'm sure we'll see each other many more times."

"I'm sure we will," and she smiled at Kali and walked away.

"Well, no information but at least she's friendly."

"You were about to say something."

He got serious again and said, "Yes I was. I'm sorry I was being such an ass. I was being insensitive, and adolescent, and I'm sorry, but I'd like to offer an excuse if you'll listen to me."

"I'll listen Buck."

"I really did tell Anita I'd do my best to behave and I meant that. But I'm not doing worth a damn. I've been picking on you to save my own ass and that's not the way to go. You deserve my support, not harassment and abuse."

"Apology accepted. I was pretty sure that's what it was, but I didn't know what to do about it so I just kept ducking. But this morning between you and my hangover, I popped."

"Very effectively too I might add."

"Buck, I've enjoyed being with you and joking back and forth. It's a good way to keep from getting too serious. I'm fighting my own battles, so if I turn on you, please pull me up short. I know I'm going to have my bad days just as you will, so all we can do is be there for each other until we're finished here and can go home where it's safer. Now let's have breakfast and coffee, plan our day, and pretend the other stuff never happened."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because I keep seeing you in the shower with me, there's no way I can put that out of my mind."

"That probably wasn't a good idea after all then."

"I deserved it, Kali. Like you said, we'll just get through this together."

"I have a problem too. I can't get last night's kiss out of my mind."

"That was so nice." Then he caught himself, straightened up and asked, "Ready to order?"

"Ready."

Chapter Sixty


To finish shaking off their hangover, they held hands, and very slowly walked to the far end of town and then back down the other side. There wasn't a lot said, but for the first time, it wasn't an awkward silence. They stopped at the men's store and looked through the window, but saw mostly farm clothes and workmen's boots. They stopped at the grocery store and bought tonic water and Coke, and talked to the clerk who was very forthcoming, but she just didn't know much about what was going on either. Then it was on to Dwayne's, just to chat with him and see what they could learn. What he shared proved to be their (their) first bit of news. He made reference to going on line and never realized he'd slipped up. Buck left the car keys with him, and Dwayne would just walk over and get it and change the oil. Buck would be back to talk to Dwayne again, man to man. As they walked back toward the house Buck asked Kali, "Did you pick up on that?"

"The on line reference?"

"Yep, very interesting I'd say."

"That's one for the good guys...and gals." They were still holding hands.

"Did I tell you that Ethel was in the show at the Playhouse?"

"Was she really?"

"Like I said, I think about everybody is into this lifestyle. Her ex husband came back from wherever just to have sex with her on stage. He was very well endowed and seemed to really know how to use it. She was used to that man, and I don't think anybody else would be able to truly please her." "We're talking about this like it's an amateur production of Our Town, rather than a full out sex romp on stage."

"Want to hear about what had to be called the main event?"

"I don't know, do I?"

"Well, I'd have to be pretty descriptive about the two actors."

"Okay. I'll call stop if it's more than I want to hear."

"Of course, there's always the chance we'll see something like that tomorrow night too."

"Oh Damn. Okay, let's hear it."

"The players are Peggy, a very interesting woman; of I'll guess upper thirties at least. They guy is one of the security guys for the Culvers."

"No, really?"

"Really, in his late twenties or maybe thirty, very fit as you can imagine, he was arm candy for Faith that night in fact. He was her security, so she was there to watch him perform."

"This is getting far too weird."

"I'll spare you the move by move account, and say that Dan's cock is without a doubt the largest in diameter that I've ever seen or heard of. I'm sure there are bigger ones out there, but I'd have to see it to believe it. Anyway, using a lot of Astroglide, she managed to take him and she loved it. I mean really loved it. Her...never mind, just imagine an average sized woman of that age taking a weapon like that. Okay, got that visual?"

"I makes me shiver, but I've got it."

"Then she took him anally."

"Buck you're kidding me."

"I kid you not. That room was so quiet you could hear people breathing. Poor Ethel and her ex hubby were all but forgotten, but of course she couldn't have cared less."

"I'm having trouble picturing me there tomorrow night and just sitting there and watching couples going at it like I'm watching a commercial for somebody's sausage company." That made him laugh and by then they were at the house again.

"Feeling better now?"

"My hangover is about gone thankfully."

"I suggest we just relax and read for awhile since the town is so dead. We can get rid of the last of our hangovers, rest and read, and then go back to it."

"I like the sounds of that." It was only about half an hour after that when Dwayne came for the car and another half an hour when Buck walked up to talk to Dwayne again.

Dwayne saw him coming and met him in the doorway as he wiped his greasy hands on a red rag, "Got her done for you, Buck."

"Thanks Dwayne, you're the best," and slipped him two twenties. "Don't know if you heard, but Kali and I are having dinner with Faith tonight."

"I heard. So how is it you get to stay in her place this time?"

"Oh, my wife and her are getting pretty tight, and the last time we were here, Faith and I seemed to really hit it off too. I guess that puts me in the inner circle."

"Sure sounds like it. She's quite a woman that's for sure."

"Oh, she is that. Smart too, I think."

"Smart? Oh yeah, she's smart okay. We don't much see Max around anymore, but I guess he's getting on in years now."

"Yeah, he is. How old you reckon he is now?"

"Gee, he's gotta be, oh...into his seventies now."

"Damn. I was thinking' he was still in his late sixties."

"He could be but...no, he's gotta be older than that."

"Well he sure has a looker for a wife."

"It's amazing' what you can do with tons of money."

"That's a fact alright. You are makin' it with the garage. I mean with the economy acting up."

"Well, I own the grocery too so I'm doing' good."

"Oh that's right, damn, and we were just over there earlier. I must be losing' it."

"Happens to all of us sometimes."

Buck paused trying to think of what else to talk about and then he asked, "What's the hardware store like, I've never been in there."

"Ol' Ron's makin' it too, but it's the hardware store that's carryin' the men's store right now."

"I'm sure that's so. Women's stores seem to be goin' good."

"Yeah, they always seem to do somethin' right."

"Well, good for them. My lady's gonna go back and spend more of my money later too."

"Where's your wife if I can ask."

"Anita had to work so I brought a friend of mine."

"Good lookin' friend too."

"Thanks, I'll tell her you said so. You goin' to the show tomorrow night?"

"I s'pose I will, won't be many more this year."

"No I'm sure not. You ever been on stage for a show?"

"Couple of times is all. Don't much care for bein' on display though."

"Yeah kinda uncomfortable."

"Sure is for me."

"Well I'll let you get back to work Dwayne, thanks for takin' care of the car and the chat. Talk to you again I'm sure."

"See you Buck." Buck took the car back to the house and went inside feeling pretty proud of himself.

"So what did you learn, anything?"

"Max, Faith's husband is in his seventies and has tons of money. Dwayne owns the grocery store and the garage, Ron, the guy that has the hardware store, owns the men's store too...oh, and Dwayne thinks you're hot."

"Yeah, right."

"Ask him."

"Oh sure, I'm going over there and say, hey Dwayne baby, I hear you think I'm hot. Can't you just see that?"

Buck smiled and said, "No, I can't quite see that. But he did say that. I think I've found a weak link in their system. A hole in their security, but I have to be careful and not talk to him too often."

"Well, I don't know if the information you collected is valuable, but it's something to add to our collection."

"Sure, the more we know the more we can act like we know. Maybe somebody else will slip too. Oh, and Dwayne has been on stage too."

"Oh yuck, greasy fingernails, thanks, but no thanks." 

"You elitist you."

"Very funny."

Kali was on the couch with her legs stretched out, so he picked up her legs, sat down and put her legs across his lap. "I just remembered something that Anita said when we were gathered to talk about this mess. She said something about, it's amazing what we'll believe if it's what we want, or to believe, or expect, and that might be how the villagers perform some of their magic."

"I do remember her saying that now that I hear it from you. That's one we should keep in mind as we walk around and interact with the locals or go to the show...damn that show keeps popping up. I hope I can deal with it."

"Well, if not we'll have to leave."

"Not good form. We could offend somebody or alienate those that might be inclined to slip when we're talking to them."

"Well good luck to us tomorrow night then."


Chapter Sixty One


Wednesday wasn't shaping up to be a productive day for them. The village was quiet for the most part, and Buck and Kali were at a loss what to do. Partly for something to do, and partly hoping they would stumble across something, they went to Casey's to shop. There really wasn't much Kali could use, but they took their time pouring over different things, and she did find a couple of tie tops that were on sale. As Buck was pawing through another rack of tops, Mae talked to Kali about bras, and to his surprise she was talked into trying a couple of styles. As before, Buck settled on the couch and watched as Kali stripped to the waist. The tie tops came first and each time Mae would ask, "What do you think Buck?"

"Great, I like it and even in that color." Then came the second top and again the same routine. Buck just didn't care all that much. She looked good in them, they were half off and he was enjoying watching Kali. Then came the bras. Just as Wendy had done at Alice's Mae gave Kali more help than she needed. 

"What do you think, Buck," she asked again.

"Well," and he went over to Kali and put his left hand on her shoulder. Then, with his right index finger, he gently drew a line across part of her bra and part of her exposed breast and said, "Something like that would be better, or something like," and again his finger traced a gentle line to indicate another style as Kali was almost holding her breath and looking at him. "Something like that," he said.

"I think I know what you mean and we can get them, but we don't have there here. Maybe two or three days and we could have them in though."

"Kali, do you mind?" She just watched him and slowly moved her head side to side.

"Then we'll get them in for you."

"Okay, just hold those tops and we'll check with you Saturday or Monday."

"Perfect."

As soon as they were outside Kali stopped and said, "Buck, what the hell is wrong with you."

"What did I do?"

"You were touching my breast."

"I was drawing so Mae would understand what I meant." ;

"Now why did you have to do that?"

"Well it I couldn't very well draw on my own."

"What do you know about bras anyway?"

"You might be surprised what I know about bras."

"You are impossible," and she headed down the street at a quick pace.

"Besides," he said as he stepped along behind her, "It was part of what we're here for."

That stopped her as she asked, "What did that have to do with anything?"

"The bonding thing, to make sure they see us as a loving couple."

"You just wanted to touch my breasts."

"If that's what I wanted I'd just do this," and right there in front of the men's store he stopped her and cupped her right breast in his hand and caressed her as he looked deep into her eyes.

She was frozen by surprise, but her hand went up to his wrist, but her effort to stop him was a little feeble and unconvincing. He did stop though and just looked at her. "Now, can we just settle down?"

"How can I settle down when you keep touching me like that?"

"I'll stop touching you now okay? There is one more thing we should do while we're this close and we have nothing else to do."

"I'm afraid to ask this. What?"

"Go to Jim's Emporium."

She just looked at him. My God you are so bad with your timing."

"Well whatever, but why not?"

"Fine, okay we'll go to Jim's Emporium of sex devices and perverted pleasures," and she turned around. It took him a few strides but he caught up with her and took her hand in his to slow her down.




It's All About Faith Pt. 04



"Kali, stop for a second please," she did as he asked and he said, "Let's try to act happy and carefree, okay? If we're going to argue, let's save it until we get back to the house." She took a deep breath and slowly let it out before she looked at him.

"Okay, maybe I'm overreacting a little but...never mind, let's just go to Jim's. I'm okay now."

"Then show me a smile, okay?"

She looked up at him, but she wasn't smiling. His hand went to her face and he caressed her cheek as he said, "Maybe we better do this another time."

Her hand went up to his as she absorbed his gentle touch and she said, "I'm sorry Buck. I'm okay, I really am, and I'm ready to go to Jims. I'll even pick out a few things to buy."

"Don't get mad at me when I talk to you about a few things just for show. Yes, I know it might be embarrassing, and I'll try to keep it down."

She looked between his legs and asked him, "Do you mean you're going to have to work to keep it down in there," and then she smiled at him.

"That remains to be seen hon," and he urged her toward Jim's door.

They went in and Delia was first out to receive their customer. "Well hello Buck."

Hi Delia."

"Where's Anita?"

He looked at his watch and said, "Probably up to her ears in a meeting. Delia, this is Kali, a very close friend."

"Nice to meet you, Kali, looking for anything special?"

"Um no, just see if anything catches my eye I guess."

"Well, if you have any questions at all, or would like my opinion on anything, just call out."

Buck added, "Delia has personally tested almost everything in here."

That's right Kali, I have."

"Everything?" Kali looked at her like she wasn't sure if she believed her.

"Almost everything, there are a couple of things that don't interest me in the least. Coffee is always on and always fresh so help yourself. Buck you know where it is."

"I sure do Delia and thanks." His hand went to Kali's hip and they started slowly working their way down the wall, just as he and Anita had done. Kali was quiet and touched very few things, but she did study most things to some degree. "You know Buck; it might be good if you bought Anita something either from here or one of the boutiques."

"That's a good idea, any thoughts?"

"That's for you to pick out, otherwise it would be me picking it out."

"Maybe something from one of the boutiques then, I can pick that up tomorrow or Friday."

As Kali pretended to study a dildo, she asked, "How much do you want to spend?"

"That's up to you. Pick something you'd like or are curious about or..."

She looked at him like he was crazy so he reminded her, "Hey, we're sleeping naked, so it won't matter if I know you like a certain vibrator or whatever."

"I've never felt so exposed in my life. Like all my secrets are being exposed to the world."

"Want me to close my eyes?" She looked at him, but he was smiling so she gave up and smiled too as she thought, he might as well know that about her too. She selected a G spot vibrator and a long thin vibrator, and then as they moved around the store she added two small vibrators and said she was done. Jim came out and Buck made the introductions again and it was he that checked them out. Once outside Kali said, "Well that was just a little embarrassing."

"You were great in there."

"Thanks, now no jokes about my selections understand?"

"If you keep to that I'll be thankful and surprised. Now let's go back and rest until dinner with Faith." They walked at a slow pace with their arms around each other. They didn't have to pretend or remind themselves to do that now. They would glance at others on the street and smile as they passed. They spoke in half whispers and watched their feet as they walked and their minds joined someplace other than Discovery. Nothing was said about what they were working on or about sex. It was small talk about each other and them as a couple.


Chapter Sixty Two


They were at Ethel's ahead of Faith, and one couple smiled at them as they were led by Ethel herself. Their table was ready with a pretty arrangement of fall wildflowers and glasses of ice water that were slowly slipping drops of condensation onto the table cloth. The few patrons that were there were seated across the room. Their presence was made known by soft conversation that filtered over to them, just small waves of mumbles and clinks of dishes and silverware. An occasional ripple of laughter would slip past them as they sat there talking softly about nothing important. Then Faith arrived. No sign of a body guard and the other patrons smiled and waved at her as they watched her come to their table. Buck stood up and she extended her hand to him and then to Kali as introductions were made. "It's nice to meet you, Kali," and looking at Buck asked, "Where's Anita?"

"Probably not even home from work."

"That's too bad I was looking forward to seeing her again."

"Sometimes things just refuse to work out as we plan them. Anita knew I was looking forward to coming back up here so with her blessings, Kali consented to come with me and keep me company."

"Please tell her I said hello. I trust you're enjoying yourself, Kali."

"This is an experience of a lifetime for me, Faith. I don't know your history with the village, but it's obvious you have many friends and admirers."

She smiled and said, "You make me feel like a movie star. Yes, I do have many friends here and I treasure them all."

Kali playing the role of an innocent and uninformed visitor said, "Buck told me that your husband rarely comes to town anymore."

"Yes, and like Anita, he is so busy. We only live about ten miles from here, but even with that, it's difficult for him. He's likely in his office or study and will be there until bedtime." Ethel went to them and shining them with her best smile took their drink orders and looking at Faith said, "I've made a very nice dinner for the three of you so just let me know when you're ready."

"Thank you Ethel, you always take such good care of me and now my friends. We'll be ready shortly I'm sure." So with one last smile, Ethel went back to her duties as her waitress saw to the other tables including Hank, though Ethel did stop and talk to him for a minute. Kali and Faith seemed to be getting along fine as Kali said, "It's so nice to not have background music playing loud enough to interfere with conversation but still ignored by everybody."

"So have you two stayed busy enough not to be bored?"

"Oh yes. We've shopped the boutiques of course and will probably visit them again before we go home. We've even been in to see Jim and Delia."

"Wonderful couple and we're fortunate to have them as part of our community. Will you two be at the Thursday night show?"

"We'll be there, will you be able to make it?"

"I'll try, but if not, I'll certainly be here for the Saturday evening event. I understand that something special has been arranged this time."

"We'll be there as well. I've yet to see a show, but Buck has been telling me it's a must do event."

"Thank you Buck, and I quite agree."

"Faith, thank you so much for sharing your home with us, it's made this extended visit so much more pleasant." Ethel delivered their drinks smiled and then retreated.

"I'm glad you're comfortable there. It's modest, but it serves my needs at least for now."

"You're certainly not considering abandoning the village."

"Oh my God no, I've toyed with the idea of building a new one though."

"The outside is modest and in keeping with the community, but you've done a wonderful job with the interior. Whoever will be acquiring your place will very fortunate indeed." Faith just smiled and tasted her drink and said thanks.

"Buck, you're quiet this evening."

"I'm enjoying listening to you two get acquainted."

"Just how is it that you have two such charming women in your life?"

"I wish I knew how I could be this fortunate, but I'm smart enough not to ask too many questions." 

"Now the ultimate, for you at least, would be to come back with both women on your arm."

"I don't think I'd survive that Faith," and they laughed.

Kali added, "Buck is part angel, part gentleman, and part devil."

"I notice you're not assigning percentages to those elements."

"I'm at a loss how to do that because he's forever changing. On top of that, I can't decide when I love him the most. Even his devil persona has a charm to it."

"Buck, she makes you sound pretty irresistible."

"I find it hard to believe that I'm irresistible, but I do plead guilty to having those phases, though the angel one is questionable."

Looking a Buck she asked, "So tell me, what is it you like best about our village?"

"The people are great, and so far at least, that extends to everybody we've met. But the heart of it is the open and free lifestyle, the shedding of pretenses and posturing. Wendy, for example, is Wendy always. She is who she is, and makes no apology for that, sexy, vivacious, and more. Jim is another example, smooth and charming, and a man's man through and through. The list goes on and on. Of course I love watching the ladies stroll the town in their brief attire from the boutiques," and he made a point of smiling right at Faith. "Then, there's this honor of having dinner with you. What a wonderful way to end the day."

Her eyes were still locked onto his as she said, "Kali, you better keep your arms around this charming specimen of manhood."

"I'm doing my best." She would question him later about over doing his role playing.

Buck held his glass without drinking and said, 'Somebody, I don't remember who now, told me that your husband owns a lot of acreage around here."

Faith laughed and said, "Oh God yes. Thousands of acres and in fact I don't even know how much anymore. He has men that handle the usual farm duties such as working next year's crop rotation and together they watch the commodities markets of course. Max prefers the business side of it a lot more than the actual farming now. Then of course he has his other business ventures. I think a lot of those are just things he likes to dabble in though. He sees that I'm perfectly spoiled and I love him dearly."

On they talked through dinner, and then over a last drink Kali said, "I'll ask this at the risk of being rude, but have you ever been on stage at the...the show."

Faith watched her finger as it drew lines through the icy fog on her glass and said, "Yes, I was, and not all that long ago. Max wasn't pleased with me, but he wasn't really mad. It was quite an adventure actually.'

"Would you do it again and risk Max's displeasure?"

"Now that is a harder question. Would I like to? With the right partner perhaps I would like that very much. Will I?" She looked right at Buck and finished with, "Again, probably but only with the right partner."

With their last drink gone Faith said, "Well I better call it a night and go say hello to Hank before he goes into a funk. Did you know he's Max's cousin?"

"No," Buck said in surprise, "I hadn't heard that."

"He's a smart and very intuitive man, but he can be a little fragile sometimes. Kali, it was wonderful to meet you."

"I must say the same for you, Faith. Now I see why Buck and Anita go on about you sometimes." She kissed Kali's cheek and Buck received a much warmer and more lingering kiss on the lips before she went over to Hank as he almost spilled his drink standing up.


Chapter Sixty Three


They were well away from the restaurant before Buck said, "Well that went very well I'd say."

"Well, of course you'd say that, the way you two were teasing each other with your eyes."

"Now I thought I was every inch a gentleman."

She put her hand between his legs and he asked, "Now what was that about?"

"Just wanted to see if you were still hard."

"I never was hard. I was playing my role is all and I think I did a damn good job of it."

"I can't deny you were into your role if that's what you want to call it. She all but invited you to screw her on stage."

"That's overstating it big time."

"I thought for a minute you had your hand in her panties."

"Knowing how it is in this town, maybe she wasn't wearing any."

"Well, you probably know."

"Damn, you're testy. You did a great job with her and you should be seeing this as a success and celebrating."

"With who? You're head is still back there." He was getting mad so he said nothing more.

As soon as they were inside the rain began and Buck said, "Damn that was close, which could have been a pretty cold and very wet walk."

"Okay, what was that about Hank being her cousin or whatever?"

"Max's cousin, yeah, what about that. He's intuitive, but fragile. Is that something we need to know and can use? Wait...last time here...Gabe and, well the four of us...Hank stopped us to introduce Faith to us, and at the time we thought that was a little...I don't know, strange, like he was lying in wait for us."

"Why?"

"That was our question, but now at least a couple of possibilities come to mind. One, he's insecure as hell and falls all over himself by showing her off and doing his version of putting her on a pedestal. Two...this one sounds pretty arrogant and I know that...but maybe he was parading us past her for her approval as a possible mate for the evening, either here or for the show."

"Like sending a bull to slaughter."

"Well, that isn't very flattering, but okay. Kali, Faith is more than just a pretty face and killer body for this town. Okay her hubby owns a million acres of land and they're stinking rich...but am I crazy or does it go beyond that?"

"I can't answer that. I see what you're saying, but...well I just don't know. Now back to you and her."

"We've been over that; can't you give it a rest?"

"You just said yourself that she could be lining you up for a wild ride."

"It's just one scenario."

"With the pretty face, killer body, and money to burn, hell, it isn't hard to see that she's spoiled rotten by Max."

"I'll give you that much."

"So it all lines up. She wants you, Max is good with that, and she sure as hell brings a lot to the table."

"So are you saying, you want me to screw her here or on stage? Are you thinking that way we'll learn more, or is this more like paranoia."

"Damn you, now why would you even say that?" He scooped her up in his arms and headed toward the bedroom. "Just because I'm smaller than you doesn't mean you can manhandle me, put me down."

"I will in just a minute." Then going into the bedroom he threw her down very unceremoniously, and as she stared at him he took his shorts and shirt off and then his underwear.

"Buck, what do you think you're doing?"

"I don't think I know. I know that we're going to do something about this argument right now."

"By getting naked?" He didn't answer and got on the bed and somewhat roughly started to undress her. She did protest and try to stop him, but she was small and he was strong. Also, she didn't put up that much resistance. Then he lay on her and kissed her, as her arms went out, as she gathered wrinkled bedspread into a tight ball with her hands. But her false resistance was giving way as she returned his kiss, and her back arched up to press herself into him. And her arms were next as they wrapped around his bare back and the kiss intensified. 

When the kiss was broken her eyes showed a mixture of fear, and anger, love, and passion, and she was breathing fast. Then his hands began to explore her before kissing her again. More gently now and her hands moved over his back and butt as she explored him. He slowed further and broke the kiss to say something, but she was first saying, "Oh my God Buck, do you know what you're doing? What you're doing to me?"

"Something we should have done much sooner, honey." He moved just enough to allow his right hand to slip down over her breasts and on over her belly to her prominent mound that he so loved. When she felt his touch there she held her breath for a second before her hand went in search of his manhood, his cock that she felt pushing against her demanding entry into her most private place. They were in no condition for long foreplay. That had been going on almost from the time they arrived. Buck was over her again and raised his hips enough for her to guide him into her. She felt so small and yet he felt her intensity as she pushed back against him and her delicate fingers dug into his back. They hardly breathed as he opened her lips and eased into her petite body. That would be the last time her size would even come to his mind for quite awhile. They had opened the dam of their pent up emotions. Anger, frustration, passion, lust and love, and they all blended into passion and came pouring out. Their lovemaking was fast, intense, and brief. They slowly settled down but he was still over her and his cock was still erect enough to keep its place inside of her. 

They kissed again, softly and lovingly, but words weren't shared until she said, "Damn you."

"What did I do wrong?"

"We were behaving, I mean more or less. We had managed to not make love. We had that wall between us."

"That wall as you call it was thin and transparent and it was disappearing. We were starting to fight, and snip, and bicker, because of the stress of our situation. You were jealous as hell over Faith and..."

"I was not jealous and stop moving inside of me."

"You were jealous and we both know it. You haven't even seen Wendy and me when we get going."

"And I don't care to either. What I've seen is more than enough. Now stop moving, hon...now see what you caused? I almost called you, honey."

"You've done that before."

"But that was different. Now stop."

"If I stop then you just get on that phone and call Gabe to come get..." It hit both of them at the same time. "That's proof that all I've been able to think about is you. We have a damn phone right here in this bedroom. I feel so damn stupid."

"But we don't know if it works or if it's safe."

"Why didn't we at least see the damn thing in the beginning?"

"I'll tell you why, it's because we were both so damned nervous. Then we passed that and worked so hard to behave and to be discreet, which was a joke by the way. We need to stop and rethink everything we know. Go over it inch by inch. You know what else...honey please hold still...now I've forgotten what I was going to say."

"I have to move inside of you because I want more of you."

She paused as she felt his cock slowly moving inside of her and all she could manage then was a soft whispered, "Oh my God," and her hips moved to encourage him to continue. Thoughts of the phone and everything else were lost then. They had something else much more urgent to see to.


Chapter Sixty Four


They were about half asleep from exhaustion, but he was still half lying on her and her left arm was still draped over his neck. His clean morning shave had been replaced with a hint of beard stubble and it lay against her shoulder and teased her until he moved onto his side and looked at her. She was on her back with her right arm loosely across her belly as she turned her head to look at him and started to cry. No sobs, but tears slipping down toward the bed. They were so into each other that neither could say anything until it spilled out of her. "Buck, I love you so much. I don't want to, and I'm trying not to, but it isn't working."

"Kali honey, you can't love me." That was the wrong thing to say to her in her fragile state of mind. She almost jumped to a sitting position with her legs crossed in a loose lotus position and her right hand slapped down onto the bed and in a stern voice told him, "Damn it Buck, don't tell me I don't love you. I don't want to. I can't and yet I still do. It's embarrassing because it's only been a couple of days. I told Anita I didn't need a man and I didn't want one in my life. But did that stop me from coming up here with you? Oh no, of course not. You sat there right in front of me that night and held my hand and talked to me. You made it feel like there was nobody else in the world but you and me as we looked into each other's eyes. You talked softly and tried so hard to protect me by using carefully chosen words and skipping graphic details. You could have had horns and I would have said I'd come with you. It was already starting, but I was too dense to see it. I even knew that you had feelings for me that were growing. Don't you dare tell me I don't love you just because it's inconvenient for you." He moved over her again and said, "Okay damn it, you do love me. I know that you do because I can see it, feel it and taste it. You're right, I don't want you to love me because it scares the hell out of me. I'm lying here wishing we didn't have to go home. I'm wishing I wouldn't have to be without you. Damn it Kali, you slipped into my life and we were so innocent and full of purpose to right a wrong and get rid of those threats that hang over me and our friends. Every move we make brings us closer. The pervasive sensual world here drains us of our will to resist each other until we are powerless. Kali honey, I love feeling you in my arms and to have you close to me, naked or clothed. I like sniping back and forth with you like we do sometimes. I like to watch you as we shop, or walk, or talk to others. I hear your voice even in my sleep sometimes." They were in each other's arms again and her sobs slowly ebbed to flowing tears. "I'm so afraid Buck, so terribly afraid. I want to be happy and enjoy what time we do have together, but I know I'm going to hurt so much when we go home."




It's All About Faith Pt. 04



"I'm afraid too, Kali. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with everything."

She took a long breath to try and get control of herself and then said, "Maybe you better call Anita."

"I'm not going to tell her any of this until I'm home. No, if I call she'll want to know, but she won't ask for the same reasons. If she asked me how I felt about you, I'd have to tell her I don't know, because I'm too afraid of my feelings to think about it." They were slowly settling down as they got their emotions under control again. 

They didn't even get out of bed again except to use the bathroom. Buck picked up the phone and heard the steady dial tone and held it for Kali to hear and then hung up again. Kali was improving and squaring her shoulders she said, "Well now, we have to decide what it means that they do have phone service here, why that deception?"

"More control, is all I can figure. Visitors drop in here and are blown away by what goes on so in somebody's mind at least it makes sense that no contact with the world at that point is to their advantage. Same with the internet, it's all about control of information, blackmail, intimidation, information control...all to preserve their way of life. A way of life that I'd like to see preserved, as long as that's possible anyway. We need a plan for tomorrow. We need to be seen walking again so we can do that, say about mid morning, once people are more likely to be out."

"Okay, breakfast and then back here for awhile and then the walk and go from there."

"That's about it. Maybe we better start compiling new lists and notes, possible scenarios and not so possible scenarios that we can come up with." 

"That will take us to lunch and we can go from there. I feel better knowing we have some kind of direction."

"Kali, I'm so glad you came into my life, but I'm so damn sorry about the mess I've gotten you into."

"Let's not talk about that anymore, or I'll start crying again."

It wasn't long before he moved down and kissed her mound as she smiled and watched him. "Are you trying to start something again stud?"

"I wish I could. I just wanted to do that because I was too impatient earlier."

"We just may find time for you to do that again too."

"I can only hope so." They didn't even bother to get dressed. Both of them read sitting up in bed and one would periodically look at the other one and smile before going back to their book again until they turned out the light and went to sleep in each other's arms.


Chapter Sixty Five


Thursday wasn't starting off any better than Wednesday. They woke to drizzling rain so they waited awhile, but in the end they walked to Ma's Kitchen for breakfast getting pretty wet in the process. Grace gave them some paper towels and hot coffee and gave them time to relax before taking their order. They had to abandon their planned walk and the rain wasn't letting up so after breakfast they walked back in the rain making no effort to hurry because it was far too late for that. By the time they had showered and put on clean clothes, the rain had stopped and the only sounds to be heard outside were the occasional plop of heavy drops coming off of branches or the edges of buildings. As they looked out of the large front window, Kali looked at Buck and shrugged her shoulders so they started their walk through town and back. Somebody was putting some new items in the window at Alice's, so they stopped to check those out when Wendy came out, paused at the door and told them inside, "Going to State College, but I'll be back by five. Then she smiled at Buck and Kali, waved and jumped into her car and left.

Kali and Buck looked at each other again shrugged their shoulders and all most ran back to his car, jumped in and took off in search of Wendy. As soon as they were clear of town Buck took off and broke all speed limits to catch up with Wendy. They had already admitted they didn't know what good would come of what they were doing, but it was something to do and there was always a chance some little tidbit of information would come from it. They were still well behind her when Kali asked, "Why do they call that town State College?"

"I don't know. I'm not even sure I've ever been there." Then they saw an off red car like Wendy's so they kept the speed up until they could confirm it was her and then dropped back and just tagged along. "She's probably on the cell phone anyway so she won't even know we're back here." 

"I hope you're right, because this could be hard to explain." With a steady speed set they relaxed and let Wendy lead them to wherever she was going. Interstate eighty to highway two twenty, and Wendy slowed a little, made a left turn and then a few minutes later a right turn and pulled into a warehouse. Not huge by any means, but large enough to be very interesting. 'Winthrop Fashions for Men and Women', the sign said over the entrance. Buck drove beyond, turned around and then parked. They sat there and talked about the significance of their discovery. "Sorry to say this Buck, but this isn't a big find. They have to get their fashions from someplace."

"I know. I had hopes of something just a little more exiting than this. Let's sit here for just awhile and see how long she stays."

"Why?"

"Because I don't know what else to do."

"So tonight is my first porn show. Gee I can hardly wait. That's something more for guys."

"Well about half of the audience is women. Probably because they know the actors and remember being screwed by the guys on stage."

"I still can't get my mind around that whole thing."

"Oh, I understand that, I really do." They fell into a comfortable quiet but after about fifteen minutes Buck told her, "Okay I give up, honey. We could be back at the house and at least comfortable.

"Wait Buck isn't that her standing in the doorway talking to somebody?"

"Damn it is."

"Okay, so now what, follow her back home?"

"Probably...no wait. I'm going to go talk to whoever is inside after she is gone."

"And say what?"

"I'll come up with something."

"And you'll learn what?"

"Probably nothing, but nothing's what we have now too, so we won't be going backward."

"I'll pretend that made sense." Wendy dropped into her little red Mustang and took off. Buck checked his watch and waited just a couple of minutes and then ran across the street and in through the small door.

He saw a girl of maybe eighteen sitting at a desk and a tall counter between the two of them. "Oh hi, can I help you?"

"Is there any chance Wendy could be here?"

"Oh, you just missed her."

"Every time I try to catch up with here I'm a few minutes too late."

"Sorry. I'd take a message but she won't be back for who knows how long."

"That's okay." He looked past her and said, "You have quite a facility here."

"Thanks, we do have."

"Well okay then," and he saw her little sign, and said, Thanks Gwen."

"You're welcome, have a nice day." 

He took about three steps toward the door before stopping and said, "Doesn't Casey's boutique and Ron's Men's Wear get merchandise from here?"

"Oh sure, all the time, but it goes through Alice's."

"Oh that's right. Damn I'm forgetful. Thanks again Gwen, see you again I'm sure," and he ran back to the car. "Well," he said as he got in, "That's where Alice's and Casey's gets their merchandise...and Ron's Men's Wear...but Casey's and Ron's are stocked through Alice's. That can only mean they're all owned by the same person."

"Who is?"

"Hell, I don't know, but my guess of course is Wendy, but we don't know that for sure. At least that's another scrap of information. Casey's doesn't surprise me, but Ron's does." They saw a Burger King so they stopped for lunch and then headed back to Discovery.


Chapter Sixty Six


As soon as they were out of the car Buck said, "Okay, ten minute break and then to see Grace and then for a walk all the way through town. There's something we need to check." They went in and used the bathroom and didn't even sit down before they were on their way to see Grace at Ma's Kitchen.

The door dinged and as soon as the waitress was near Buck said, "Two pieces of apple pie ala mode and two coffees." 

The waitress hadn't gone ten feet before Kali asked, "Now Buck damn it."

"You need the calories."

"I do not need the calories, and I'm not skinny."

"No you'll need the calories to survive the show and keep up with me afterward."

She smiled and said, "We'll see who needs calories, honey. Besides won't we have dinner first?"

"Sure that too and a tall Long Island iced tea on the way to the Playhouse."

"Okay." Kali couldn't eat all of her pie but Buck had no trouble eating his and the rest of hers before they headed out again.

When they reached the green park area at the end of town Buck stopped and he told her, "This is where that cop played his game with Layla and Mitch."

"That's so unbelievable."

"I haven't seen any sign of a badge since we've been here, so I suspect he's on to other endeavors by now. Let's keep going," and he led the way toward the back walking along the fairly narrow delivery lane around to the back of the buildings. Buck stopped near a tree and looked down the back of the stores and said, "I'd guess the larger one is Jim and Delia's and the largest one is Wendy's, or whoever owns it. Those are the smaller warehouses. Merchandise comes from town to Alice's and then it's distributed to the other stores."

"But when, because we never see any sign of that."

"At night, but that brings up questions that we have to find answers to. Now why would Jim and Delia need that much storage room? Only one reason, on line sales, they ship out of here. When there are no store customers, they're in the back filling orders, and then at night off they go to be shipped around the country. The store is just a front. Now why you ask, that's one I'm still working on, but you can bet there is a very solid reason for that and we'll find it before we're done. I think it's time we took a very late night stroll to see if we can discover anything."

"But wouldn't they risk having the trucks heard?"

"Not with the motel and the homes on the other end of town, especially if they run gas engines and not diesel."

"Everything we learn seems to just generate more questions."

"I know and it bugs me. They all come back to a common denominator and if we could find that we could tie this up very neatly."

"You're pretty confident."

"I feel more confident all the time. We have to call Mitch tonight though."

"Why?"

"Have him look up the warehouse and the boutiques to see if they have web pages or he can dig up information on them. We should have thought about doing some of that before we came up here. Okay, let's get back where they can see us," and they moved back to the grassy park and then strolled into town like innocent lovers. As they walked, Buck's arm went around her waist and he pulled her close and whispered, "We're getting closer honey, I can feel it."

She looked up at him and said, "I'm not sure that's a good thing."

They rested for almost an hour, got ready and went to Ethel's for an early dinner. It seemed a lot of people wanted to eat before the show because the restaurant was very busy so it took them a few minutes to be waited on. They ordered their drinks and dinner at the same time and then sat there and watched the dozen or more people scattered around them. 

"Just think honey, the cast of our show could be sitting in here someplace having dinner and a drink or whatever."

"Oh my God, that's true. If it were me, I'd be so nervous I'd be too nauseous to eat or drink."

Buck and Kali were at the Playhouse at six fifteen but still were relegated to the second row. Buck was glancing around but Kali was restless and though doing her best she felt compelled to turn her head a few times and watch as people filed in. "Buck I've seen a lot of people that I've seen on the street or in the stores."

"I know, like I said, a good part of the town shows up."

"Look, there's Jim and Delia up in the front row, and...and there's Hank. We haven't seen much of him since we had dinner with Faith." 

"Oh, that's right, I don't see her here."

"Guess her social calendar was too full."

"Unless the empty chair in front of you is for her, Buck if you are picked for anything you should go up there."

"But I don't want to."

"It wouldn't be good to decline honey."

"But what about you?"

"Well, I don't want you up there either, but I'll have to deal with it."

"I mean what if they call on you?"

"I will decline. I'm the minor player here and besides I'm afraid I'd faint and that would be worse than saying no."

"Then I should say no too."

"Buck, don't do that just because I'm here. Don't endanger what we've accomplished."

"Okay, but I really don't want to be up there. I'd feel like I was about to be auctioned off."

"If you were, Faith would buy you in an instant and she can afford to."

"Don't even think those thoughts okay?" Buck hardly had those words out of his mouth when Faith came breezing in and went straight for them.

She paused by Buck and gave him a quick kiss and threw one to Kali before saying, "I didn't think I'd ever get here. Wait for me after the show and I'll treat us to Ethel's iced teas."

"We'll wait for you," and she went to her reserved seat in the front row sitting next to Hank. Buck leaned very close to Kali and whispered, "I think I've figured something out about Faith and maybe a couple of things. I'll tell you about them later."

"Will they make me mad?"

"I don't see why they would." As he sat there thinking about that he decided that was one more small detail to add to their collection.

"Hi everybody," it was Peggy again so Buck whispered, "That's Peggy of giant dick fame."

"She's not very big."

"Guess it doesn't matter."

Then Peggy started the show. "Faith, thanks for coming, we haven't seen you in a while."

"Thank you, Peggy."

"You been pissed at us?" Faith laughed and just shook her head no. Peggy must have known what she could get away with. Peggy continued with, "Okay now, for dinner we have...oops, wrong show, we can't be eating here now can we." The chuckles had begun. "Before we start be sure to be here Saturday night for a surprise that you won't want to miss I'm sure. Especially those that have never been here, or have been gone a long time...like you Harold, in the back row," and he just waved at her and smiled. "Last time you were here you and I had a great time but we haven't seen you since. Was it something I said?" Another roll of soft laughter. "Okay recently we started off with a game and it was a big hit. So of course we won't do that tonight. Just kidding, but the game will be a little different."

"Okay now let's start off with Delia and Ron. Come up here you two. 


Chapter Sixty Seven


Every eye turned to follow Ron to the front, and then Delia from the far front row as they joined Peggy. Ron got a kiss for his efforts and then Delia received one as well. Kali wasn't moving as she watched and didn't miss a thing. Ron was quite dark complexioned. Guesses had been perhaps his family came from Greece or maybe Italy. "Hey look at you Ron, you send off for one of those weight loss programs?"

"No, sure haven't"

"Good, because I'd say you aren't getting your money's worth if you are." The audience either really liked her humor or they felt sorry for her because they seldom failed to laugh, "Hi Delia, ready to play?"

"I'm ready."

"Good, okay folks Delia and I'll be back in a bit." Even Kali was smiling at Peggy's nonsense. "Okay, enough silliness. Millie, where are you love? And Hank, right here in the front row, come up here, Hank. Now it's Leah. Don't be bashful Leah, we haven't seen you up here in a long time. Leon, where are you, I saw you come in...there you are hiding behind the post. Come up here and keep Leah company, one more couple." Kali was trying to make herself as small as she could and Buck wasn't breathing or looking at Peggy. Then Faith turned around and whispered to Buck, "Makes you kind of nervous doesn't it?"

"You could say that."

"Bobby. Bobby in the corner. Bobby in the corner. Has a nice rhythm to it. Join us Bobby. Bobby and...oh let's see," and she slowly scanned the room further frightening Kali. "Blanche. Yes, you honey, you're perfect for this game." With everybody up front Peggy told them, "Okay, pick a spot on the blue mat. "Okay here's the game. Well, part of the game." She picked up the familiar paper bag from Jim and Delia's and handed each guy an identical vibrator, "Compliments of Jim and Delia. Okay now...each couple is to strip or strip each other, whatever works for you, and men it is your job to see that your lady reaches a climax. We want to see who cums first, who cums last and who cums the most. Audience, pick your choices and see how close your guesses will be. Remember to consider not just the fair lady, but also the man she is paired with. When I say go, strip and have fun. We'll be down the street drinking ice tea with Ethel." Again the laughter, and then she said go. It was comical to watch each of the shed their clothes and hit the blue mat. Kali in particular was doing her best to catch every move because this was her first time to see anything like this. She didn't laugh or even smile. Her heart was jumping and her hold on Buck's hand was tight. Neither of them had a clue as to who would do what so they were free to just observe and enjoy the scene. Kali had never seen that many hard cocks in her life let alone at one time on a stage. 

Buck leaned forward and whispered to Faith, "Do you have your choices made?"

"I do, but I'll tell you after the show." Then he leaned back and looked at Kali and whispered to her, "Doing okay, hon?" Her head just bobbed up and down once. Four vibrators were humming, and where one guy might be trying to give his woman oral assistance, or use their fingers and tongues, others might try kissing and playing with breasts, but all of them were giving it their best, and the four naked women were coming along nicely. Even that early into the show, Kali couldn't believe how quickly she was to accept the fact that she was studying four couples, as they went through their contest with the guys cocks hanging down and bobbing and swinging at a steady pace almost like warm hard metronomes. Buck would glance over at Kali and watch her stare for minute and then go back to the show again. He didn't care who won, and in fact he was already wondering if the next part would be the women trying to make their man cum all over them. 

One by one the women came, with Leah catching two orgasms before it was over. Peggy went over to Leah and asked her, "So, you lucky thing, was it Leon or are you that easy?"

"Leon was good that's for sure."

"Way to go, Leon." She walked back to center stage and said, "Okay, now as you've probably guessed it's the guys turn. Men, sit in those cold metal chairs. Yeah, I know that wilts the lily, but with luck your chosen lady for this will get your mind off of that um...little problem." This time the show was meant to entertain and titillate and judging from the audience they were succeeding. 

The guys were lined up across the stage in profile so the audience could watch the progress and their women were on their knees in front of them waiting for the signal to begin. Kali's eyes were dancing from man to man and cock to cock and her hold on Buck continued. He looked over at her and just smiled to himself. It would be fun to hear her comments after the show. "Go," Peggy said and the women dove onto their assigned cock driving it deep into their throats before starting to jack them off and cap their cock heads with their lips every few seconds. Hands cupped balls and a finger here and there moved to tease a rosebud, men's eyes closed and opened again as hands flew up and down as Kali's eyes stayed wide open and hardly blinking. 




It's All About Faith Pt. 05



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter Eighty Five


Brenda was first to stir, but Buck was about half awake anyway. She turned over and as she smiled she said, "Good morning."

"Morning to you, beautiful."

"It would seem that we need another shower."

"I'd say we do, but what if that shower leads to another therapy session, which of course might lead to more showers and more therapy."

"We could end up being here for a long time."

"Yes, we could."

"That would be very nice, but I have a feeling that hunger and fatigue would rear it's ugly head and we'd be forced to stop."

"Speaking of that, I hear Grace calling us to breakfast."

"She can be so insensitive sometimes."

"She hasn't learned about timing it seems." They crawled out of bed and went to the bathroom and he waited until she peed and then he did the same before they bathed each other one more time. The urge to mate again did visit them, but not enough so to override their desire to eat. They dressed, Brenda in the tiny shorts and top with out underwear, and they walked to town to Ma's Kitchen and Grace saw to their nutritional needs. 

"Isn't what Max and Faith are doing incredible? I was just speechless when I saw the drawings."

"It's going to be incredibly expensive."

"I don't know how he can do it, or why he's willing to do it."

"Because he loves his Faith, and both of them love this town. It isn't a business decision that's for sure; it's a decision of the heart and nothing else."

"Buck, will you and your friends be back? We'd like to see them all and thank them as well as you and your wife."

"Thank you, and yes, we will be back. Not before late spring, but we'll be back again and again."

"Good. I just may have to come up with a new lunch dish named after you."

"You're too sweet, Grace."

Once back at the house one last time he told her that he was going to call Anita. "Want me to take a walk?"

"Not unless you don't want to hear me tell her I love her."

"You damn well better tell her you do and do it more than once."

"Okay, then make yourself comfy. This won't take long, because you'll have me home in a few hours, but I do need to call the others too."

"Okay then, get to it so we can get on the road and get you home." She sat in the middle of the bed in her tiny white shorts and watched him as he called home. 

As soon as Anita answered he said, "Hi, it's me."

"Are you coming home soon honey?"

"We'll be on the road within the hour."

"Really?"

"Really. It's all done...over."

"Well, is that good or bad?"

"It's good honey, very good."

"So Mitch and Layla are safe?"

Mitch and Layla are now safe along with you and me, Gabe and Carly, and who knows how many others. I'll have a lot to tell you and the others."

"Then let's invite the others over, but you and I have to have some time alone first."

"Yes we do."

"Let me talk to Kali just for a second honey."

"Kali left last night."

"But how...I mean you just said we."

Buck looked at Brenda and smiled as he said, "Brenda is here. You don't know her and there's a story there too, but she's bringing me home."

"But you're car."

"Kali will drop it off and get hers so maybe you two can talk before we get there."

"Oh my God, Buck, is there any problem with...with us?"

"No problems honey, I love you and I'm coming home...to stay."

"I have a million questions you know."

"I'm sure you do have. Just know that I love you okay?"

"You can't believe how it feels to hear you tell me that. I said the last time that as long as you love me and you come home, nothing else matters."

"I remember that and I hope you mean that."

"I'm not saying I won't cry or something but we can deal with that."

"Okay I'm calling Mitch next and will tell them about six okay? Pizzas or whatever and some beer."

"Got it."

"Better yet, you call Carly and Gabe and I'll call Mitch. Love you hon, see you soon," and he hung up. 

Brenda was studying him as he talked and smiled as she said, "I was right. You had to tell her at least two times that you love her."

"You're just too smart. Okay, one more call, and then we're out of here."

Buck called Mitch and Layla next and Brenda continued to listen. "Hello," Layla said. 

"Hi sexy, you're supposed to be naked when I call."

"I am not...how do you know, maybe I am."

"Nope, I can see you."

"Yeah, right."

"Really, this is a video call."

"Buck, that might work if I was drunk, but I'm not."

"Damn. Okay, tell Mitch that we're gathering at the house at six. I'm coming home with great news and more stories."

"Oh good. Um...how did you and Kali do?"

"Too well, Layla...but that will come out too if you want to hear that part."

"Of course I do."

"Okay then, our house in tiny shorts or that skirt, sweetheart, new standard of dress because I've been up here so long."

"New standard for you maybe."

"Well Brenda is right here next to me, and that's what she has on as we lie here on the bed talking to you."

"Now wait a second. Who the hell is Brenda, where's Kali and on who's bed?"

"Brenda, my latest squeeze, Kali is home by now and on my bed. There all of your questions are answered. Kisses darlin' and see you at six," and he hung up. 

"Your latest squeeze?"

"Sorry, I said that just to drive her crazy."

"So Layla is one of the loves in your life."

"Yes she is."

"Good thing you didn't say that to Anita." The calls were done and it was time to go home. Buck put the luggage in the back of Brenda's car and they drove to Ethel's and dropped the key off, shared a quick kiss and they headed toward Scranton with Buck behind the wheel. 

They were well into their ride home and they had fallen into a silence as they looked at the scenery and their minds traveled elsewhere. Then Brenda asked him, "What are you thinking about Buck?"

"Oh a little bit of everything. The days at Discovery, Kali of course, how all of that went, and of course you and..." Then he looked over at her. She was slouched in her seat with her legs spread and she was smiling as she used a finger to lightly tease herself between her legs. "Oh damn it Brenda, you're going to drive me crazy."

"I just want to keep your mind off of Kali."

"Now my mind is on you so much I can hardly drive."

"Guess I better not take my shorts off for you then."

"Yes you can, honey."

She laughed and said, "You are so easy."

"I am not. It's because you are so sexy is what it is."

"And if this Layla was sitting here now and she was naked, you'd say the same things."

"I've never seen her naked."

"You haven't?"

"No damn it. I probably will when...oh shit."

Brenda quit teasing him and sat up asking, "What's wrong?"

"I just realized something. Something big."

"Well are you going to tell me or just dangle this news in front of me?"

"You know that tote bag that I loaded into the trunk?"

"Yes, I just assumed it was dirty laundry or something."

"Well, what's in it is dirty, but it isn't laundry."

"Buck damn it, tell me." Then she smiled and softened her voice and said, "Tell me and I'll take my shorts off."

"Ladies first."

"You think you're so smart."

"But you better wait until we get gas. Then you can get naked for me."

"I said shorts."

"Shorts and top."

"Why? How do I know your news isn't just something stupid that you made up?"

"Then you can dress."

"That's another thing, how long do you expect me to stay naked?"

"Oh...say an hour."

"An hour? What if...we could be arrested."

"Just stay low, hon."

"You really aren't as clever as you think you are."

Buck was smiling and having fun at her expense. "Okay, I'll save the news and the secrets then."

"And to think I saw you as a sexy guy with a big heart."

"Aw, I'm still a guy with a big heart."

"Are not, okay get gas and we'll get on with this unfair lopsided trade, but your big news better be big."


Chapter Eighty Six


With the gas tank filled and Brenda having drawn attention as she went to the bathroom and back in her little white shorts, they hit the highway again. As soon as they were away from traffic he smiled at her and waited. She too was smiling but she was hesitating just to tease him a little longer. "Remember, you pay all the fines and court costs. No out of pocket expenses for me."

"Deal, now strip, honey."

"We will be together again one day and just so you'll know I don't forget."

"I'll keep that in mind." Buck struggled to watch the road and also watch her take her shorts and top off, just as he expected, no underwear. She looked no different than she had in bed, but seeing her like that while going down the road at fifty or sixty miles an hour was altogether different. In fact, she laughed as he shifted and pulled at his shorts to make room for his cock to grow.

"Now start talking, buddy. Wow me with your news."

"Background first. This is one of the reasons that Max and Faith flew into that panic about the village. Someone, who shall remain nameless, thought it would be a good idea to videotape some very sexy and controversial footage of Layla and Mitch naked and in a very compromising position, and I don't mean with each other."

"He didn't."

"I didn't say he."

"We both know you're talking about, Hank."

"So Hank was known to get a little carried away?"

"Once in awhile, he was a nice guy and he was devoted to protecting Discovery."

And the 'but' is?"

"He could get a little too protective sometimes."

"I'm not admitting anything officially. Okay now Layla, is a news broadcaster in Scranton."

"Oh, no."

"You see the problem then."

"Of course I do. So they've been sweating over whatever Hank was holding over them."

"You bet. I have that evidence in that tote bag. Layla has no reason to worry now."

"That's fantastic."

"It is. I'll get to see Layla naked and much more...but that's a double edged sword. All of them will get to see her naked."

"Why does it have to be all of them?"

"Well, when I get home somebody has to screen all of the photos and footage. I'll see everybody, and not just naked, but performing in various ways."

"Okay, so you see everybody else."

"And they will know and want to see the triple x material too and that's only fair."

"So that means that the other guys will see Anita."

"Oh yes. And maybe see you too because we don't know how comprehensive his spying was. Anybody could be on there, even Faith. He had the hots for her, so don't you think Hank would like to have a record of her screwing somebody?"

"I'm sure he would. So you and Mitch and Kali...everybody could be recorded and in that bag. But that doesn't mean that the others have to see all of it. You could just screen it all and sort it."

"I could, but I think it's only fair that the others get to watch them as well."

"So you're going to host a dirty movie party."

"You have such a way for putting a nasty spin on this."

"And you have a dirty mind...can I come too."

"Of course you can, like I said, maybe you'll be in the collection too."

"I'm just kidding; you go ahead and screen them. You are going to save them right?"

He smiled and said, "I probably will, yes."

"You are a pervert."

"You say that like it's a bad thing."

"So Anita will watch you and Kali in bed then."

"Oops."

"You better think this through stud. She could see you and me together too."

"Oops again."

"And you with Faith on stage."

"Oh, shit"

"Fools will go even where angels fear to tread. I just remembered a couple more things where you'd be in the action too. On stage for example, did Hank video that time too?"

"I don't know. Well one thing, I get to look at you sitting there naked as we fly down the road." Buck calmly turned on his cell phone and pointing it at her took her picture a couple of times as she smiled at him. Then the semi loomed in front of them. Without saying a thing he eased their speed a little higher and kept an eye on the oncoming traffic. It took a couple of minutes, but he saw his chance sped up and pulled along side of the semi and slowed until they were matching the speed of the truck. Brenda was just below the guy in the semi so she looked up and saw the driver staring at her nakedness and quickly said, "Buck, damn you, step on it."

Instead he took her picture and asked, "What's the matter, hon?"

"He's staring at me."

There was a car coming toward them but he asked, "Who, hon?"

"I'm going to kill you," and Buck stomped the accelerator and pulled ahead of the truck as he blew his air horns at them in appreciation. "I can't believe you did that."

"That was a lot of fun. Can you imagine if we were on the interstate? Damn all kinds of semis there."

She was smiling at him as she said, "Just for that, I'm getting dressed."

"Too bad, I'm sure we could find another truck before long."

"You didn't treat Kali like this."

"She went home alone."

Brenda surprised him by saying, "That's her loss," and just looked out through the side window.


Chapter Eighty Seven


"I won't go in, Buck," Brenda said as they pulled into Buck's driveway. 

"Please come in at least for a minute."

"Buck, your wife is going to be all over you and won't appreciate an intruder."

"But you're going to come up in conversation, I can guarantee you. I want her to know what you look like and for her to see that you don't have horns."

"I just want more of your horn, how will she feel about that?"

"I'll find out later but please come in...please?"

"Okay, but I'll let her know this was your idea."

"Fair enough," Buck led the way dragging his bags behind him and unlocked the front door and they went in...and caught Anita in the nude waiting for Buck.

Anita just stared, and Buck wasn't doing much better, and Brenda felt embarrassed for Anita and couldn't decide if she should retreat, or turn her back...so she did neither. "Buck, damn you," finally came from Anita and that woke him up so he said, "Nita, what the hell..."

"What do you think?"

"I'll just leave now," Brenda said slowly retreating.

"No wait a minute, Brenda," said Buck. "Nita, this is Brenda."

"Oh my God Buck, let me put something on," and she raced to their bedroom with her breasts bouncing.

"Oh Buck, you so blew that one."

"But Brenda, I never thought..."

"Stop right there, and you'll be pretty accurate."

"Buck, damn it," Anita said as she emerged from the bedroom tying her robe.

"Anita, I'm Brenda, and I'm sorry about this screw up. But then we are dealing with Buck after all, and he hasn't exactly been thinking straight for the last day or so." That was a lie, but it was something for her to say and hopefully defuse the situation. "I'll just go and let you two..." 

"That's okay, Brenda," Anita said. "Mr. Stud sort of blew the mood for the moment anyway." 

"But hon," Buck said as he prepared to defend himself. "You never..."

"And you've never slept with another woman for a week either. I expected you to come in through the garage as usual."

"Sorry."

She smiled at her husband and said, "I can't wait to hear the whole story of how you left with Kali and a week later come home with Brenda."

"Didn't Kali tell you?"

"She didn't even come in. We shared a hug, she started to cry and left. Had I not talked to you I would have had to wonder if you were dead. Brenda would you like some iced tea or something stronger?"

"Iced tea would be great. That and the bathroom," Anita smiled and pointed her to the bathroom and went to the kitchen for the iced tea. When Brenda came out she said, "I'll drink this and go, because you two only have three or four hours before your guests will arrive."

Anita looked at Buck so he said, "She was there when I made the calls."

"Oh, at...early in the morning."

Brenda's cheeks flushed slightly as she smiled and waited for Buck to say something. "Yeah, we were getting ready to go see Grace and get some breakfast. Everybody told me to say hello to you by the way."

Brenda took a long taste of her tea and said, "Buck has my contact information so if you want to talk at some point that would be nice."

"My head has been spinning for a week, so I'm not thinking very clearly."

"I have to admire your courage and trust Anita, because there's no way in hell I would have done what you did."

"It all seemed okay at the time. I wasn't happy about it, but it needed to be done."

"Nita honey," Buck said, "I told Brenda that I wanted her to come in so you two could meet."

"Well, Brenda got to meet me at my finest that's for sure."

"I told Buck that was a bad idea, and it was, but at the same time I'm glad I got to meet you."

"Thank you. I'll have time to kill him later, so it's okay."

"Okay, I'm going home now." She gave Anita a warm hug and thanked her for the tea and the surprise welcome, kissed Buck warmly and then left.

Buck and Anita fell into each other's arms then and she allowed a few tears as they kissed and held each other. "Buck, I already know that even though we have a few hours before the others arrive that's not enough time to hear all of your stories."

"Want some of them now and some later?"

"I want some of you now and then some of you later. You can sneak a few stories in while they are all here."

"Race you to the bedroom." It felt so good to have his wife in his arms again, but he couldn't tell her that in so many words. Instead he told her more than once how he missed her and thought about her and then they made love. Nothing fancy and no records set, but it was good and it was a good place to start repairing any damages that might have occurred in those five or six days. That alone stopped him. All that he and Kali had done and shared and experienced, everything that came out of their looking around and talking to Max and Faith, all of that happened in five days. That just seemed impossible. Then he turned on his side and pulled her close to him and said, "I want to get a start on confessing and asking for your forgiveness."

"Buck there is no forgiveness needed. We both knew things were going to happen. I want to know yes, but leave the guilt and remorse out of it. Just get rid of those ideas. Whatever happened, happened. Right here and right now, is where we start over. We remove what happened in those few days and just go on from now on okay?"

"Okay."

"So, of course, you and Brenda made love."

"Yes we did."

"Last night."

"Yes, but that wasn't supposed to happen. She was consoling me after Kali left a note with Brenda for me before she left."

"So you and Kali really bonded then if it shook you that much."

"We did. That business of sleeping naked together was really off the charts crazy. That should have never happened."

"It wouldn't have mattered. Not knowing how it is in Discovery. Do you love her?"

"I told her I did. She knew I was coming home to you, but she told me she loved me so much and that's why she left the way she did. She didn't want to stand there crying and so forth. Of course, I'm sure she did anyway just as I did after Brenda gave me the note. I saved it so you can read it later if you want."

"I'll think about that one."

"Oh, and Brenda is a former resident of Discovery and a friend of Wendy's."

"That can't be good, at least for me."

"I think it would be a good idea for my tales to come out little by little so it's a little less overwhelming."

"But bottom line is, there are no more threat issues from Discovery."

"Not a one. All of them are eager for us to go see them again, especially Faith. She's eager to talk to you."

"And the boutiques?"

"Still there and I brought you a new top from there."

"And Kali tried things on and all of that?" "Yes she did, and she bought her share of things too. We even went to Jim and Delia's." They got up and Anita put herself back together so she would be ready for company, and he followed her out to the kitchen and helped her put dishes out for the pizza.




It's All About Faith Pt. 05



Chapter Eighty Eight


It was important for Anita to know everything, but at the same time she decided Buck was right. Not everything at once, because that could be overwhelming. She now knew that Buck had made love with Brenda and Kali. She had assumed Kali, but Brenda naturally was a surprise to her. How he and Kali came to feel they loved each other so quickly was one thing that did concern her. She even liked Brenda, what little she could tell. Not so much that she was willing to share her husband with her again though. The main thing was he was home to stay and everybody was safe. It struck her as funny that she was almost more curious about all of that than she was about Buck's sexual escapades. All she had to do was think about her with Gabe, to remember how easily things could happen in that little village.

Everybody was close to on time, so in minutes their house went from quiet to almost chaotic, as everybody tried to talk at the same time. Buck was the center of attention because he was the one with all the stories to tell. In fact, he was going to save his best one until later, after they had consumed some beer and perhaps a few more potent drinks. They were going to need some help to cope with his last surprise.

Buck kept his stories very mild and unimpressive as they consumed the pizzas, teasing them with short comments about the women in their brief garb, and the exceptionally warm weather. Layla set him back a little when she told him, "We hear that you and Kali ran into Brad and Laura."

"Yes we did. We talked briefly, but didn't see much of them after that, so I guess they left."

"Oh no, they were there for several days in fact. They told us just enough about you and Kali to tease us, but we now know there is more to be told."

"Oh damn," was all Buck could say and Layla laughed.

Buck began his tales as they settled in the living room and talked over margaritas, pitchers of them in fact. Buck did his best to keep things in order, but had to backtrack occasionally. He told them about discovering the warehouses in the back and talking to Dwayne and about following Wendy to the warehouse in State College, details that came together for them. He told them about their Thursday night at the Playhouse, and that's when Anita learned about Buck and Faith. She just smiled, but made a mental note to quiz him later about that. The talking and the drinking continued and Buck told more stories, but when he came to the moonlight parade everybody was quiet as he did his best to describe the scene. He was surrounded by nakedness, hard and soft cocks, large and small breasts and about people moving through the group looking for someone in particular, or for somebody new to walk with. He told about Brenda adopting him and the two of the walking and talking. It was like all of them were getting into the experience, and they were all envious and sad that they wouldn't likely ever be able to share that experience. Of course, when Buck thought about Brenda walking along beside him, he had to work at keeping his mind on his story. Then he came to the post parade event at Ethel's and paused. "Okay now, after that parade things got more interesting." He had left out the part that Brenda had played in orchestrating it, but kept the rest of the story intact. He did his best to build the image of Darren and his big cock, and then on to the somewhat unsteady Kali, and Ethel talking her into trying Darren on for size, the women more than the men seemed to really focus on his story. They could probably relate to what Kali was experiencing, and barely breathed until Darren's cock was buried deep inside of Kali. On the story went until Anita asked, "Okay, so what about you and Brenda honey?"

He got a somewhat sheepish look and then admitted they spent the night in the guest room. Anita didn't even blink. Of course they did, after parading bare assed and then watching a sex show and showering together. 

Then Buck said, "Okay, now I'm going to back up a ways. Once Kali and I had figured out and listed everything we could think of and had written out the scenarios as we saw them, we knew it was time to go see Max. He had to be involved in Discovery and had to have some vested interest in it. "We had no real evidence beyond the cell phone photo of the spy camera in the motel. All circumstantial evidence backed up with little stories here and there to give our tale credence. We were nervous as we were led in to see Max at his massive desk. The guy is getting old, but he's still very imposing in his own way. So halfway through our presentation, he stopped us and called for Faith and she joined us."

"No sign that he did or didn't believe you," Mitch asked.

"None. He never showed a frown, or well, reacted in any way. Once Faith was there, we dove into the story again and she got very mad and defensive right away. Max settled her down and we continued. The more we told the more she stared at us in a way that told us we were on the right track. Now here's the kicker. First, Max owns that whole town, every brick and light bulb. Are you ready for the big surprise of the evening?" He looked around and enjoyed milking the mystery as much as he could. "Max bought the town and spent buckets of money to restore it...and then gave it to Faith."

"What? What the hell..." Anita asked.

"That was how it hit me; until he went on to explain that he did that to give her something to do. She wanted to make the town into something unique and special. To be someplace where she could go for adventure and not leave the home turf. Anyway she worked hard until the town was self sufficient."

"From those few little stores?"

'Nope, from Internet sales and wholesale distribution, that warehouse in State College I told you about, is a state of the art distribution center. Owned and run under the watchful eye of Faith and down through sweet horny Wendy. The town's people get to live a lifestyle that can't be found anywhere else and still make a decent living. How the hell she ever managed to collect so many people of like minds I'll never know, but I'm sure that's an interesting tale in itself." 

His throat was getting dry from talking so much, so he emptied his margarita glass and Mitch asked, "Okay, so what about the pictures and all of that crap, were they destroyed?"

Buck smiled and answered, "Not exactly."


Chapter Eighty Nine


Buck refilled his glass and took another drink as Mitch was going crazy waiting for the story to continue. "Buck, damn it, get on with the story, you're driving us crazy."

"Well let's see. We left Max and Faith with them singing our praises, all of us. That was Saturday morning." On the story went as he took them through everything he could remember up to and including the Saturday night gathering where they made their speech. "Max is in a compressed planning stage to completely rebuild the town on adjoining property, which of course he owns. It will be a private members only, gated community, with their own town square. No major details were given because there is so much work to do, but it sounds like it's going to be one hell of an expensive and extensive remake, and will look very much like the town as it is right now, in style at least. Max is prepared to fork over millions to make this work so his Faith can continue to play to her hearts content."

"How can somebody that spoiled still seem so nice?"

"I don't know Nita, but I do know she has a temper. She's promised to keep us in the loop. Oh, and Hank is no longer the guide. He's been farmed out someplace where he can make a living but not hurt anybody."

"Oh no," Layla said, "So we're still not out of the woods. Somebody has to have those photos and videos."

"You mean these," and Buck put the tote bag on the coffee table almost spilling her drink.

Her face lit up and she was in his arms in seconds and kissed him. "Everything is in there?" She asked. "I mean like our photos and that movie and..."

"Layla, this is about to get a lot more interesting." He kissed her and turned her to look at it again and said, "You see, clever Hank has everything on DVD and the labels are coded like phone numbers, sequential numbers. He no doubt had a record of the numbers and what was on them, but I guess that went with him."

"So I can't just reach in there and pull mine out and crush it?"

"Nope. There very well could be recordings of every one of us in there in all sorts of interesting situations, not the least of which could be the boutiques. Plus," Buck added, "There will be a lot in there of people from the village and strangers that filtered through the town and stayed a day or two. I think our little Hank was a bit perverted. He went well beyond gathering things he might need for security. Hell, a few stills from the boutique would take care of that problem."

"So perhaps Wendy or Mae or whoever might be involved."

"Maybe, but not necessarily, all of that could have been dealt with at night or maybe on Sunday when the stores were closed. You know maintenance issues and so forth."

"But..." Layla said, "But, how can...I mean if you watch them to see who is on it, you can give it to them, but then you've seen all...I mean everything."

"That's right, and if you and Mitch watch them, you'll certainly see Anita and me, Kali and me, Carly and Gabe, and...well, just a whole lot of entertaining things." Then looking at Mitch and Layla asked, "And what about Brad and Laura? They live there part time."

She dropped onto the couch and said, "But if we don't watch them, we won't know if we're safe or not."

"Also true, we also have to assume he recorded the shows at the Playhouse too."

Anita peeked into the bag and said, "I have a feeling we're all going to know each other a whole lot better before this adventure is over."

Layla was staring at the bag as she said, "Nita, there has to be another way...don't you think?"

"Nothing is coming to me right now."

"But...maybe Mitch and I did things we neglected to tell you."

"Layla, I know exactly what you mean. I'm sure Buck and I did things we didn't tell you for one reason or another...like very embarrassing things."

"And what about the motel? Whatever may have happened there wasn't intended for other eyes."

Then Anita remembered being with Gabe and she glanced over at him and then said, "Oh I know. Okay, we could divide the discs up three ways and each couple take hope a third of the discs and review them. Then we get together and trade them, that way not everybody sees everything."

"Nice plan," Gabe said, "But each of those discs will contain a number of scenes and people, not just one couple. Carly and I could well end up on a disc with Layla and Mitch for example. That would depend on how Hank categorized everything, alphabetical by name, by where the event took place, by random selection? There are many ways he could have sorted them."

"Let me inject another thought."

Buck looked at Carly and said, "You bring clarity to our confusion I hope."

She just smiled at him and said, "Hardly. Each of those DVD's could be as long as a full movie, a couple of hours of entertainment per disc. How many discs are there? In other words how long is all of this going to take? How long are we going to be watching those discs together not to know what person or couple is going to appear next. Hank is a strange, but pretty smart guy so his system or idea of what was entertaining, could be pretty convoluted and surprising."

"Oh shit."

Buck was leaning forward with his elbows on his knees as he stared at the floor between his feet when Anita asked him, "Buck, you look like you're thinking about something."

"What about Kali? Will she want to be here because she's in that mess somewhere?" 

He and Anita looked at each other before Anita said, "I'll talk to her and find out, but it's my guess, she will say no. At least if things affected her like it sounds.

Layla looked at Anita and said, "It's probably none of our business, but what about Kali and you, Buck?"

He was still looking at the floor as he said, "She loves me." 

"Is it real? I mean considering the mess you two were in and all."

"I have to say it's real."

Then Anita added one more comment. Buck loves her too." Layla didn't know what to say about that, but she looked at him for a minute before she went over and knelt in front of him. 

She put her hands on his knees and looked up at him saying, "Buck, is that true?"

She could see his eyes were a little wet as he blinked and paused until he said, "Yes."

"But honey, what about Nita?"

"I love Anita, and I'm not about to leave her if that's what worries you."

"What worries me isn't what's important here, but of course that does concern me." She put her hands on each side of his face and told him, "Buck, I love you too. You know that, but do you see her love as different as mine for you?"

"I don't know, Layla. I just know she was broken hearted when she left. I just know what we did was stupid. Stupid, because we actually thought she and I could just go into that environment, live together, sleep naked together, and make love, and then calmly go on with our lives like it never happened. I mean that all sounds so ludicrous now, so adolescent and ridiculous." Then he straightened his back a little and with a stronger voice said, "Anyway, I don't know how she'll feel about us seeing her naked and in very compromising situations." Then looking around at the others he spit out, "Let's quit being delicate here. In those discs are Anita and I, both naked, and me with a constant hard on. You'll see Anita swallowing Gabe's cock, and me all over sweet and naked Carly: Everything short of making love to her." Then he smiled at her as he added, "And just for the record, it wasn't my idea to stop either."

"Buck is probably right, we do need to get on with this, but on that note," and Anita said as she stood up, "Time to switch to coffee and then talk more about this mess."


Chapter Ninety 


All six of them moved to the kitchen, and either sat at the table, or leaned against the counter, and tried to avoid talking about the discs as they added sugar or cream to their coffee and stirred without thinking about it. Other than the click or clink of spoons against cups, the room was silent for several seconds before Carly asked, "How many discs is there Buck?"

"Eight."

"Okay, so say two hours per DVD would be sixteen hours of viewing. That's a whole lot of sex to look at. One disc a week would be two hours each time and would still take us two months to review."

"Maybe that's how we should do it. We can't have a marathon day to see if we can make it through them in one hit. I'd be so sick of the whole thing I'd probably just walk away from it and miss all of the surprises."

Then Layla offered, "I think this decision should be Anita's to make."

"Why me?"

"You are the one that has been through hell the last week and it's you that will be most affected if we happen to see Buck and Kali in some intimate situation. You can say what you want, but that's bound to have an effect on you." Then all eyes went to her as they agreed without saying a word.

"I have to talk to Kali first."

"Okay."

"Do you mean today?"

"We might as well get started." Anita picked up her phone, found Kali in their phone book and hit the call button as she walked away for some privacy. Kali's answering machine picked up so Anita waited and then said, "Kali, it's Anita. If you're there please pick up. I'm not mad at you at all. Not at you or at Buck, but I really need to talk to you even for a few minutes." She waited and just before she hung up Kali answered.

"Hi Anita."

"Hi Kali, thanks for answering, I know this is awkward for you and you have things to work out. I really do understand, I mean after all I fell in love with Buck too."

"I tried Anita, I really did try so hard, but everything went out of control so fast."

"I understand and Buck told me he loves you. He's told me a lot, but one of these days when you're up to it, I'd like to hear how it was for you, the fun, the hurt, the anger and the love."

"But how can you be so strong and forgiving?"

"I knew the day you left, you two would be making love very soon, and you and I talked about that. I've had a week to work through a lot of that. Oh, you can bet I'll still have my fragile moments, but we share too much now to just have you disappear on us."

"Thank you, and I'm sure given a little time, I'll do better."

"There is one more thing though. Carly and Gabe, Mitch and Layla, are here and we're talking about the DVD's Buck brought home. Since you're sure to be in at least one of them, do you want to be here when we screen them?"

"Oh God, I can't. I can't sit in your living room while we watch Buck and me make love or whatever. I couldn't even look at you."

"We could hold them until you're up to it."

"No, don't do that. Everybody is going to die of curiosity if you wait. All of you have, and will have issues to work through, and it won't be easy for all of you as you view them. No, go ahead, but save them, so I can see them at some point."

"Kali, everybody asked about you and will worry about you, so don't be a stranger okay? Maybe just you and I could meet for lunch soon."

"I'd like that, thanks. I'll call you okay?"

"Fine."

"Thank you, Nita."

"You're welcome, bye." Anita had ended up in the hallway and after their conversation, she stood there and tried to think, but gave up. Once back with the others she asked, "Where are Layla and Buck?"

Mitch smiled and told her, "She took him outside by the ear. I guess she had something she wanted to discuss with him."

Layla stopped them on the side walk and turned him to face her. "Okay love, time for a talk."

"Let me guess, it's about Kali."

"Of course. Do you love her?"

"Yes."

She waited for more but finally said, "This is supposed to be a talk, not questions and one word answers."

"Okay. Layla, I don't know how to explain those days with her. Even now I can't even sort things out because they happened so fast. I'd been there before so I thought I knew what to expect and that would give me an edge with coping. But I didn't factor Kali into my thinking. You know what it's like there. I'm not sure, but I think it was Grace that said that Discovery is a big town dressed up to look like a little sleepy one. Everything we did seemed to have sex attached to it either directly or indirectly. I was going to say everything and everybody is contaminated with it, but that makes it sound like I don't approve. Well, just for the record I do."

"How much do you love her, Buck?"

"That's hard to answer. I love Anita more of course and...well I'm going to tell you something right now, and just between you and me. Had it been you that was with me in, instead of Kali, I'm not sure I could have come home to Anita like I did."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that there is nobody in this world, including Kali, that I love more than you with the exception of Anita. Now had we been in Discovery alone together and sleeping together and making love...just the two of us making love night after night...well, I would have had a much larger problem to deal with, and I wouldn't have come home like I did this time."

"Buck...I love you too, and you know that. I don't dwell on it, and I'd be afraid to have to assign any kind of measure to it. That night when we shared the couch and we teased each other so much, I was an emotional wreck. I wanted Mitch and Anita to see what we were doing. I wanted you to touch me and that's where I got so frightened. Frightened because, had you really lifted my skirt and put your hands on me, somebody would have had to stop me or we would have made love right then. We have to get away from that. So what you said is, it's Anita, and then me, and then Kali."




It's All About Faith Pt. 05



"Yes, but those lines aren't exactly that crisp and clear sometimes. I'm not going to leave Anita for Kali. I'll get past those issues. I'll never get past my issues with you. Now let's go back inside, before more is said, or they come looking for us."

She kissed him softly and told him, "I was going to say thank you, but now I want to think about what you just said. Okay now, let's go find out what we're about to do."

"Think we dare sit next to each other and watch a disc?"

"Oh my God, no," and they went inside and rejoined the others.

"Get it all straightened out, Layla," Mitch asked.

"I don't know, so I can't answer your question, but I guess at least there is hope for him."


Chapter Ninety One


Layla was looking right at Buck as she said, "Okay, somebody pick a disc."

Buck pulled the first one out his hand touched and put it in the player. They had a chair and a half, and Buck and Anita took that, and Mitch and Layla sat at one end of the couch, while Carly and Gabe dropped to the floor. "Hey, we don't bite, you can sit up here too."

Carly smiled and said, "This is fine. We do this a lot at home," and Buck started the disc and turned on the TV.

Good or bad, the first few scenes were of people they didn't know or had seen in town once or twice. Since it was nobody they had interacted with they were starting to relax except for the subtle build up of their urges. Then there was a series of shots walking down the street with first one woman's ass in a short skirt or shorts, so the six of them were treated to bouncing butts for a minute without knowing who the women were. Then Mitch tried to be funny as he said, "Oh wait, I think I remember following those buns." Anita elbowed him and on they went.

Then the scene changed and they were in the Playhouse, and they tried to figure where the camera was. It had to be mounted to the ceiling someplace and hidden somehow. At first they didn't recognize anybody, but then Layla said, "There's Aggie with some guy." She paused and then added, "She was one of them that undressed me that Wednesday while Hank watched. Then she undressed Mitch...and so forth." They watched the show and it was a little like sitting in the middle of the Playhouse at show time.

They moved on and watched women in various stages of undress in the boutiques, and Gabe and Carly saw somebody they'd met, but couldn't remember her name. Buck's hand was on Anita's belly, but as the teasing went along, his hand eased up and under the bottom of her pullover top. She knew what he was doing and she enjoyed him teasing her.

Mitch and Layla were much the same. He was leaning back and Layla had her feet on the couch and was leaning back against Mitch with his arm around her waist. His hand was just below her breast and every so often he would caress her just under her breast or let his thumb just brush the bottom a little. Gabe and Carly were on the floor leaning back against the couch and his hand was on her upper thigh, and as they went from scene to scene his hand would edge to her inner thigh just a little closer to her sex. Nobody was saying anything for the most part until Hank appeared naked with some woman that he was undressing. "Well there's the former guide of Discovery," Buck said.

Mitch's eyes were on the screen as he said, "I wonder who did, or who will take his place."

"Wouldn't be a bad job assuming it paid well."

Anita looked up at him and said, "You'd take that job if it was minimum wage."

"I don't think I want that job, it's too isolated out there."

By the time they'd seen an hour of the disc Mitch and Bucks hands were all most cupping their wives' breasts. Gabe's hand was between Carly's legs, and one finger was drifting up and down her mound and over her lips, and all three men were hard. They were ready to call it a night so the couples could go home and move on to more exciting things. That is until Layla came on the screen. "Oh my God," and her hand went to her mouth and Mitch's hand stopped moving. She looked over at Buck and Anita, and then back to the screen as they watched her peel her top off, and then her bra, to try on a blouse at Alice's. Not a sound was heard as the six of them stared at the large plasma screen and they had ample time to study her. She turned slightly and slipped the new top over her head and then over her breasts before moving to check herself in the mirror. Layla's hand was still over her mouth as the scene showed Layla slipping off her shorts to try on the tiny white ones that she bought that day. Buck and Layla exchanged quick glances a couple of times, but she didn't want to miss anything on the screen even though she could remember that day very clearly. She knew what was coming. She knew it, but she couldn't make herself move or beg to shut it off. Mitch was right there with her as she slipped her hand over her butt to check the fit, and though without sound, you could see Mitch smiling and saying something to her. Gabe and Carly weren't missing a move either, and it was even worse for Layla that Gabe and Carly were watching, because she didn't really know them that well. But she and Buck had shared some very intimate moments, and that played through her mind as she watched him watch her as she slid her panties down. She couldn't believe it even though she knew it was coming. She was naked below the waist, and the camera captured her very nicely as she tried the panties on, and again felt herself before using the mirror.

Anita too was watching Buck as he stared at their naked friend. Anita even squeezed Buck's thigh as she looked up at him and he smiled back at her. She knew his thoughts almost better than he did, and he knew that fact too. He wanted to tell Layla how beautiful and sexy she looked, and he would, but another time when Gabe and Carly weren't there. Once Layla was dressed again, the screen went blank and Layla finally moved and breathed again. Anita hit the pause button and said, "I think that calls for a short break and something to drink. Mitch hugged her tightly before they stood up, and whispered something to her and she smiled. 

Anita led the way to the kitchen, but Buck lagged back until Layla neared and he asked her, "You okay, love?"

Her face was flushed and her heart was still racing, but she managed a smile and told him, "I will be in a minute. I remembered that part and I knew exactly what we would see, and yet I just sat there."

"Well the rest of us are very thankful that you did hon." Buck fell in behind Mitch going to the kitchen and he put his hand on Mitch's shoulder to silently send the message to him that he could understand what Mitch was feeling right then...or at least he thought he could.


Chapter Ninety two


As Anita poured the coffee she looked at Layla and smiling said, "Well that was a very good preview."

"Preview?"

"Of course, all three of us did just what you did. But some of the other things we'll see before this is over will be quite unique to each of us." Layla knew that, but she was still trying to get past what had just happened. "Old Hank probably had cameras all over the place. Makes me wonder what I'll be caught doing that I've forgotten to mention." Buck remembered a very powerful event that involved Anita, but he wasn't going to remind her. He just hoped that the six of them would have seen enough action to help Anita through that experience. 

Gabe kissed Layla's cheek and told her, "You were fantastic Layla, thank you. Carly and I spent a fair share of time at those two boutiques, so it's almost certain that you'll see us like that before it's over."

"We're likely to see a whole lot of all of us before it's over."

Mitch worked his way over to Anita, and wrapping her in an embrace, he asked, "You ready to be on television honey?"

"Not even close"

"Maybe it would help if I were next to you to hold your hand when your moment comes."

She stopped what she was doing and worked to show him a smile saying, "I don't think that would help at all."

"I thought it might because it would help me a lot," and she kissed his cheek and they shared a look before he moved away.

Thirty six B Carly, with the long thin models build, was somebody else Buck was eager to see on TV. He actually liked Anita's body better. A little shorter and smaller breasted and a little more meat on her bones, but he liked that. Carly was full of fire and adventure and seemed the least bothered by a lot that had happened. He also wished he could see Kali, because he had learned to love her short stature and very petite build. She was a five four, he guessed and a wiry package of dynamite. Anita and Carly showed their support for Layla, and they talked for a minute, but all of them were ready to get back and watch more of the first disc. Buck managed to get close to Layla and he said, "I don't remember, were you and I going to be together to watch more of this?"

He couldn't tell if she was serious or not when she told him, "Maybe after we've seen more." He preferred to think she was serious and he was looking forward to that day.

The show continued with another unknown couple, but what followed them was somebody they knew, Brad and Laura. Now they were going to know them a whole lot better it seemed. Through the whole disc there had been no sex. Naked women and undressing women and teasing women, but no sex until Brad and Laura came on the screen. It was like a small production, and Layla said she was pretty sure it had taken place where the town meeting had been that she and Mitch had walked in on. The background was austere and for the couple, a large mattress on the floor. Pretty seedy all things considered, but then they were amateurs and there was no budget to work with. As some guy undressed Laura, a woman saw to Brad, before they came together near the mattress. It was fairly straightforward intercourse between husband and wife, but that didn't stop them from watching without commenting or even teasing their wives or husbands. They had just experienced their first sex scene compliments of Hank. And they still knew the best was yet to come. Or would it really be the best? Layla being seen naked had been a major event, but there would be more intimate and much more graphic scenes of each of the couples before it was over. The rest of what they saw on that disc was entertaining, but nothing more of what they were really looking for. Buck retrieved the disc and wrote on it before putting it away. It was getting late and everybody had to go to work Monday morning so with kisses and hugs shared the party broke up.

"On their way home Mitch asked Layla, "You still okay?"

"I'm okay now honey. Did that upset you to let them see me like that?"

"I couldn't decide, isn't that weird. For that first instant it shook me up, but then my mind seemed to go to Discovery and I remembered being very supportive and encouraged you to get naked knowing full well that you could be seen."

"And I was the next day."

"Yes you were, seen and photographed as it turned out."

"I have to admit one thing."

"What's that?"

"I'm so turned on right now."

"Good, because I am too, oh, and I saw you and Buck look at each other every so often."

"Knowing he was seeing me naked just made that whole thing more intense for some reason."

"You two have always had a thing for each other."

"But, not like for sex...I mean, you know."

"I know, like until we went to Discovery. You realized that what we saw could have been you and Buck. That people, some, but not all people did things like that."

"That makes me feel like I'm leaving you out and I don't want that to ever be the case."

"Thank you honey I'm glad to hear that."


Chapter Ninety Three 


Some of the following days seemed to drag and some seemed to fly by and Saturday did arrive. Anita met Kali for lunch and didn't get back until after two, and Buck was starting to worry about what was being said. He felt like he hadn't held anything back from Anita, but so much had happened he might have. When she did finally get home she was smiling and just told him that they had a very nice talk, and they would do that again at some point in the coming weeks.

Gabe and Carly were taking it easy reading and talking as they waited for five o'clock to go back to Buck and Anita's. Then putting her book down, Carly asked Gabe, "What do you think they would say if I wore my shorts from Discovery tonight?" 

"Well I know the guys would love it, but I'd suggest you call the others and give them a chance to do the same just so there are no hard feelings."

"Do you really think there could be?"

"With your legs? Could be. Also all of our nerves get pretty jacked up as we watch those discs."

"I get your point. Okay, I'll call them, because that's what I want to do, just for the hell of it. One more thing, honey, if tonight or anytime in the coming weeks, Buck and I get as close to making love as we did at the motel, I'm not stopping."

He smiled and told her, "Consider me warned honey, and I'm good with that."

"Just remember, that doesn't necessarily mean you will get to be with Anita, or even better yet, Layla."

"I'd take Anita over Layla. There's just something about her."

"Whatever babe, we'll just have to take it as it comes."

"And I do hope it comes."

They gathered at Buck and Anita's again, and it was no surprise that the guys studied the women in their little shorts from Discovery. Layla brought some snacks for them and a gallon of salty dogs, and over their first drink, they talked about their week and then about how it was for all of them after their first DVD. Gabe's comment left little doubt when he said, "Well, we didn't do much talking after we got home." That created knowing smiles and the other two couples said about the same thing.

Buck moved a few steps away and retrieved a cardboard mailing tube. "This came today from Faith," and he pulled the contents free of the tube and unfurled it and everybody followed him to the kitchen where he spread out the large heavy paper. "This is an early drawing of what Discovery will look like." All of them moved close and Buck shifted a little to make room for Carly. 

"How is it they could know this much this early?"

"Good question Carly," and his arm slipped around her waist. "Max told us that he had a feeling that Discovery couldn't last forever considering their lifestyle so can only guess he'd worked with lawyers and architects and had come up with a couple of options. No blueprints of course, but they probably worked out a concept and tweaked it some and settled on this." "Good foresight on his part."

"Probably why he's so frickin' rich now. So as you can see, a true town square with stores around the perimeter, the center green space for vendors during special celebrations, and a whole new subdivision behind, with townhouses and single homes and so forth All securely fenced and gated with privacy hedges and so forth. Let's see, Faith wrote notes here and there. Oh, and you can see where the warehouse for the boutiques and for Jim and Delia's will be for internet sales...she says there will be a few apartments over the stores, and the center one will be a one bedroom...no, that can't be. A one bedroom apartment for us, all of us to use whenever we go there...but...holy shit, the bedroom will measure twenty by twenty four, and will have four beds,. and two bathrooms."

Carly's arm was around Buck as she leaned forward to read what Buck had just read and followed the arrow to where the apartment would be. Oh my God Buck, that is so cool," and Buck kissed Carly's cheek and smiled at her. Oh yes, the chemistry between them was still working. Good friend and pure sex and adventure, where with Layla it was love and passion and caring. Layla and Anita were on the far side from Buck and Carly and they studied the rough drawings and Layla read, "Buck, Faith wrote up in the corner here that she'll send more when it's available and sends her love. Now isn't that sweet," and she smiled at him.

Mitch was still studying the drawing and said, "This is going to be one hell of an expensive undertaking."

"Isn't it though," Buck added. Money doesn't seem to be the real issue for them. I'm sure it isn't limitless, but they have truck loads of it. Oh, and of course, the Playhouse will be new and that will be what it's called. Here's another one. Before we left, Faith said they wanted to break ground before cold weather. He must have hired a whole team of architects. That guy isn't wasting any time." Buck rolled up the drawing and put it back in the tube as he said, 'Carly love, pick out the next disc for us."

"Oh good, I can't wait to see who is on the next one." She would never admit it, but she hoped it would be her on the TV at some point before the end of the evening.


Chapter Ninety Four


The three couples settled in the same places they had occupied last weekend. Buck and Anita on the large chair, Gabe and Carly on the floor and Mitch and Layla stretched out on the couch. Before they even started Mitch told the group, "As I sit here and gaze over three sets of beautiful legs, I just have one thing to say. Damn, we are three lucky guys and thank you ladies. Of course those tie tops from Discovery would have been a nice touch too."

Layla kissed his cheek and said, "The more you get the more you want. The next thing you'll want is to sit with Carly or Anita instead of me. Buck, you better start the show before he gets himself into trouble." Most of that whole disc that Carly had selected was of what appeared to be old events, mostly involving simple nudity in different places. As nice as that was, after just so long the three couples were getting restless, and that restlessness led the three couples to add a little excitement of their own. Gabe's arm was around Carly and his hand almost touching her breast, and her hand was on his thigh and would bump his now hard cock. They couldn't bring themselves to skip, through the rest of the disc, or just take it out for fear they would miss something, so they stuck with it to the end, but they decided to try another one. Buck wrote on that disc and put it aside, and Anita selected the next one from the tote bag, then they took a break and poured more salty dogs.

Layla was nearing the bottom of her glass when she wrapped Buck's arm around her and told him, "Okay lover, let's make the next one better. The last one was interesting, but we know there is better to come."

"I'll do what I can, but actually it wasn't too bad for me. I had you to look at after all." 

She smiled at him and with her lips against his ear she said, "You'd stand a better chance with that story if I was naked, but thank you lover," and she kissed his ear.

"In my mind you were naked," and he kissed her back. Once again they topped off their glasses and went back for more entertainment and more teasing.

They were just nicely settled when Buck hit the play button, and a moment later he saw himself on the screen and he was with Carly. Their eyes locked on each other quickly as they recognized the motel room. They were all about to see the two couples as they swapped partners. Buck and Carly traded looks as the video continued, but Buck and Layla exchanged glances a few times as well. Everybody now had a ringside seat to watch the two couples get naked on the big screen TV. Because of the low lighting and the small spy camera, the image was nothing to brag about, but enough could easily be seen to tell the story. The camera caught them in bed as well, and the best view was of Gabe and Anita as they did everything but make love. Enough of Buck and Carly was visible, to tell what they were doing, and there was a good profile view of his cock standing at attention as Carly reached for it. 




It's All About Faith Pt. 05



All through that scene Buck's arm was around Anita's waist and watched to see how she was dealing with it. He didn't have to worry though because she was studying the screen without flinching. It was then that Buck looked over and saw Layla studying him. No smile or frown, just her steady gaze as he returned it by gazing at her. That was interrupted then when Anita said, "Hon, pause it, okay?" He looked at her and noticed her fiery cheeks so he asked her, "You okay babe?"

She nodded first and then said, "I'm okay, I just wanted to take a deep breath. She smiled over at Gabe and Carly and asked, "You two doing okay?"

"Depending on your definition of okay, I think we are. We were pretty steamed up that night."

"We sure were. Do you remember going to your room still naked?"

"I remember it clearly."

Then Anita looked over at Layla and said, "Well you're not the only one to be seen naked now."

Layla's smile was a little thin as she said, "That's true." Before those words had left the room, Layla and Mitch were on the TV and this time with sound. Mitch knew what was going to happen as soon as they appeared on screen. "Oh shit, Layla."

"Oh no..."

"Want us to stop it," Anita asked.

"Oh God...Mitch?"

"We wanted to know if this was going to be in the collection and it is. Hon, I'm going to say let it play, so it's up to you. They've heard the story."

"But...okay...Oh God...okay, let's see what I've been seeing in my mind ever since that day." Buck hit the play button and they watched as Layla was slowly stripped naked by Eva and Aggie and then teased. 

Anita was hardly breathing as she half whispered, "Oh, God." There wasn't much sound through the early part, but once Aggie had moved over to Mitch and removed his clothes, slight sounds of her sucking his cock and of Layla and Eva making love could be heard. 

Carly's hand was between her legs, but she wasn't moving it, but Gabe's hand was on her breast and his other hand was right at his manhood. Anita had her hand between Buck's legs and she was getting a wet spot where his other hand teased her. Poor Layla was frozen. She wasn't touching Mitch or herself, as she watched and anticipated Eva bringing her to orgasm. She was going to watch herself climax from Eva making love to her. When Eva went between Layla's legs with her mouth, Gabe whispered, "Oh fuck," and his hand rubbed his hard on through his shorts. For all six of them then, it was a blur of action as Layla climaxed hard and they could all hear it, and Mitch gave Aggie his load. Anita's eyes were on Mitch's cock as it spit creamy juices and Aggie caught them. As soon as the scene was over, Buck hit the pause button again, but all of them continued to stare at the blank screen for a few more seconds.

"My God," Carly said, "I could see you fighting what that woman was doing to you. I saw you fight it and lose. I could feel what you were going through." 

Anita went over to her and they shared a long hug before she looked at Layla and asked, "Would you like to stop for tonight?"

"I'll be okay in a minute. We must be close to done with this disc anyway."

"You are vibrating. That was amazing and I'll have to think about it before I can say much beyond that was erotic." Then she moved over to Mitch and smiled. "Now with you, it's a different story. I didn't see you wrestling demons, but you were still so damn sexy," and she kissed him. A long warm kiss and he responded with his hand behind her head pulling her into his lips.

Carly wasn't about to be left out of the action, so she went over to Buck and whispered, "Well you and I weren't in that scene, but you're still damn sexy," and she kissed him as her hand landed on his thigh close to his cock. Before she backed away she whispered, "I still want you." Their eyes stayed on each other long enough for Buck to smile and give her a slight nod of the head. There was no doubt about it, Buck still wanted to fuck her and she knew it.

The last of the disc wasn't anything special, but they stayed with it to the end. None of them had commented on it, but they were already jaded by watching so many of the locals in different degrees of undress, so that impressed them less and less. They all knew there had to be more exciting things for them to discover, because they had either lived them or at least seen them.


Chapter Ninety Five


Life for the couples had become a week of work finished by watching the dirty movies, and then going home and screwing until they couldn't move. Layla and Mitch were sharing simple pillow talk, and fantasies about kissing and touching the others, and about Anita touching Mitch's cock, or Buck putting his hand between her legs, but after watching more videos each week, that pillow talk would add just one or two new elements to it.

Gabe and Carly were a little more to the point in their pillow talk. Theirs were more along the lines of detailed and to the point actions that they wanted to have happen as they screwed the night away.

Buck and Anita were closer to the way Mitch and Layla were. Some of that may have been because of Buck being with Kali, and Anita still working through that a little, but at the same time, they would talk about being with Gabe and Carly one time, and then Layla and Mitch another time. A lot of that came down to the simple point that they knew Carly and Gabe were ready for something to happen, where Mitch and Layla were still trying to decide which way their life would go. For Buck, it was Carly because he knew she wanted something to happen, and yet his thoughts were still with Layla, because he cared for her so much. Kali jumped into his mind too, but that scared him as much as it teased him. 

Buck went home from a job site and beat Anita just by minutes and as she came in she told him, "Layla's on her way over. We're going out for a drink and girl talk."

"I guess that means I can't come."

"Not unless you quickly grow breasts and lose what's between your legs."

"Don't even joke about that."

"I'm going to wash up and change, so if she gets here entertain her but stay out of bed okay? I saw you two climbing into each other's eyes last Saturday."

"And I saw you tasting Mitch too."

She smiled at him and said, "Well at least it was his lips and not his cock," and she ran to the bedroom. She had never even joked with Buck about that before, so she wasn't sure how he'd take it. Buck just stood there not believing what he had just heard her say.

Buck had the door open for Layla when she arrived, and they shared a long hug and he kissed her cheek, but she didn't do a very good job of looking at him. "What's wrong, Layla?"

"Nothing...well it's just that last Saturday you saw...well you saw all of me and...God, you saw a woman make me climax. That's not me damn it."

"That doesn't make you immune, though I wouldn't think. But I'll tell you this, you were so damn sexy, and hot, and erotic, and beautiful. I even put a little star on the disc so I can find it again one of these days."

"You did not."

"Oh yes I did."

"Then on top of that, I saw you with Carly and you were naked with your cock..." Her head went back and she closed her eyes as she continued. "I can't even believe I just said that. I saw your hard cock...and Carly had her hand all over it."

He put his arms around her and asked her, "Would you rather we didn't look at any more of those discs?"

"I don't know. Sometimes I get so damn turned on."

"I know you do and so do I. So do Mitch and Anita."

"Those two are getting pretty friendly."

"Like the way they kissed after we all watched you and Eva. In fact they owe us at least one," and he pulled her into his lips and her arms went around him as they melted into each other. Just before Anita came, out Layla pulled back slightly and she managed to say, "Damn you."

"What?"

"Am I going to see your cock every time I'm in your arms now?"

"That would be nice, because I keep seeing you in the nude." 

"What was it like being with Carly?"

"As you can see she had me going."

"And you didn't make love why?"

"Anita wasn't ready for that."

"But you would have."

"Yes. We'd have our share of drinks not long before that, but I don't know if that was part of it."

"But she excites you."

"She does."

"Will I see you with Kali?"

"Probably, but I don't know.

"Hey, you lovers," Anita said, "What am I missing?"

"I just asked him what it was like for him to be with Carly."

"Oh, and the answer was?"

"He gave me a rather vague one," she lied.

Buck smiled and asked Layla, "And what did Mitch say after he and Anita kissed?"

"When I asked him that later, I believe it went some like this. Wow!" Buck just smiled, kissed Anita's cheek and told them to have a good time. Then Kali called. Buck saw her name on the caller ID and answered saying, "Hi."

"Damn I just knew you'd be the one to answer."

"And I love you too."

"Damn it Buck, don't start that again."

"I didn't, you did. How have you been?"

"Okay. You?"

"Doing okay, we've been watching Hank's discs."

"Oh my God, have you and I been on any of them?"

"Not yet, but we still have several to check."

"I hope we aren't, because it would be better if Anita didn't see us together."

"I hope we are so I can see...never mind."

"Can't you pick through them?"

"Hank really didn't have a system. It's like he stuck things on whatever disc his hand fell on. We've seen what had to be very old scenes next to Mitch and Layla or Anita and me."

"So all of you have seen each other...well you know."

"Naked mostly, but a few very steamy scenes."

"Have you...never mind that isn't something I need to know."

"Kali...when we do find something with us on it, would you like me to send them to you so you can view them?"

"Oh my God, no Buck. I'm not ready for that."

"I'm not sure I'm ready to see us together either."

"Buck, ask Anita to call me okay?"

"I will, Kali. It's good to hear your voice again."

"Buck, I still...bye." 


Chapter Ninety Six


The three couples were already looking forward to Saturday night, but all of that was upset when Mitch called Buck and Anita Thursday evening and said, "We just got a call from Brad and Laura."

"Great, how are they doing?"

"Oh they're doing fine, but they want to get together with the four of us Saturday night."

"Oh...what did you tell them?"

"That I'd have to get back to them."

"Were you thinking about including them in our viewing?"

"It crossed my mind, but the women might not care for the idea."

"What does Layla say?"

"Well after the shock of the idea wore off she said it wouldn't be likely that more of her would come up so it's up to the other two."

"I doubt that Carly would mind. I think those two are ready for about anything."

"I do too, but what about Anita?"

"I'll call you back after I talk to her. I'm good with it though if you are."

"Hell, I'm good with it too. Like Layla said, there isn't likely to be much more of the two of us."

"Call you in a few," and he hung up and went in search of Anita. She was at the computer checking e-mail and told him, "You have a message from Brenda."

"You're kidding."

"You must have given her our address, so why are you surprised?"

"I just didn't think she'd contact us."

"You honey, it isn't me that she walked naked with and spent the night with."

"So what did she say?"

"Oh the hello, how are you thing. Nothing important except she ends it by saying she thinks of you often."

"I'll have to shoot her a few lines."

"Well if you're going to be very verbose I wouldn't mind reading your reply before you send it. You just have too damn many women in your life."

"But only two that really matter."

"Three and don't even try to deny it."

"Speaking of that, Kali and asked that you call her." Anita smiled at him but let it go and he added, "Mitch just called and Brad and Laura want to get together with us Saturday night."

"How do they know about our Saturday night?"

"Honey, they don't, they just want to see all of us."

"But...they'd see...well, that's the problem isn't it, we don't know what or who they would see."

"I don't mind and Layla is gambling that we won't see any more of her."

"So if I say no, I'm the bad guy."

"If you say no, then it's no, and that's the end of it. We're talking about some pretty sensitive stuff here."

"Buck, we don't know how many people have already seen us...any, or all of us, and in who knows how many ways. We don't even know who besides Hank saw his collection of DVD's."

"So you're saying you don't care either?"

"Invite them, hell, what's two more sets of eyes seeing us screw or whatever. But tell Mitch to tell them I'm wearing my skirt and tie top Saturday night."

"Oh shit. Okay hon, I'll tell him," and he picked up the phone in the computer room and placed the call.

Buck told Mitch, who then told Layla, who then got on the phone and said, "Put your wife on because we need to talk."

"You two should have handled all of this in the first place," and he handed the phone to Anita and then took over the computer. He tried to listen to them talk, but he couldn't make any sense out of it just from one half of the conversation. 

He read the whole e-mail from Brenda, smiled and focused on his reply. "Hi love, good to hear from you, and yes, you've come to my mind perhaps too many times in fact. Talked to Kali today, but it was a pretty brief and cautious conversation. Okay, here's the big thing in our lives right now. We're (six of us), spending Saturday evenings looking at those dirty DVD's that were Hank's. Nothing with you in it so far, but I'm not giving up hope either. It gets pretty exciting on Saturday night. Anita has been fantastic. Forgiving, tolerant, and loving even if I don't deserve it. Maybe we'll get lucky and share another night parade again one day. I sure won't forget that one. Consider yourself embraced, kissed, and flattered, pretty one, and I'll sign this Buck and Anita." Anita put the phone back on the little charger and read the e-mail reply.

She just smiled and told him, "Pretty smooth stud, pretty smart to flatter me, and include me in the sign off too."

He stood up and putting his arms around her told her, "And I meant every word of it too, love. Is our group expanding to eight?"

Layla will call Carly, but we know what her reply will be so I'd say yes, our group is growing."



It's All About Faith Pt. 06



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter Ninety Seven


Saturday came and once again they gathered to screen more DVD's. But this time the group included Brad and Laura, a couple that Anita and Buck barely knew, and Carly and Gabe didn't know at all. Extra time was spent sampling Anita's attempt at a new punch recipe that the first two ingredients were champagne and vodka measured by the bottle, and Carly and Gabe supplied the snacks. The punch bowl would become a popular place well into the evening. Mitch and Layla offered half of the couch to Brad and Laura, but they chose to join Carly and Gabe on the floor. Laura bordered on being over weight, but she looked firm and still had great curves in the right places. Gabe was glad when he learned that Brad was in medical equipment sales, because he was in medical supplies sales, and that gave them a common ground to build from. That in turn, helped Laura and Carly, and that was a good thing, because they were going to have precious little time to get acquainted before they would see each other in much more intimate ways. Certainly more intimate than they were sitting there in their tiny skirts with their legs crossed. The TV hadn't even come to life before Buck and Layla had exchanged glances and Mitch and Anita had done the same. 

Buck and Mitch had both asked their wives if they were wearing panties and they both got the same answer. Actually they got no answer beyond a smile. Once before when things almost got out of control, Buck had enjoyed a peek between Layla's legs, and Mitch had been treated to much the same with Anita, but this was a whole new world for all of them, and Laura was added to the mix for the guys, Laura with the restless blue eyes sitting there in her tiny skirt.

The first scene was of Mae and Chase on stage playing some game that at least the guys were paying little attention to. Their eyes were on Mae as the twosome was slowly deprived of their clothes. They ended up naked, and as they eased down onto the blue mats, Anita pulled Buck down slightly and whispered, "Before this evening is over, something is going to happen."

Buck half whispered and half lipped, "Like what?" Anita just showed him a crooked smile and slightly shrugged her shoulders before gazing at the TV again. Next it was Bill called to the stage, and then he was joined by Wendy, and then it was Jim and Aggie to make a foursome. Before anything could start Anita said, "Buck and Wendy had some kind of a thing going when we were there."

Laura smiled and said, "I'm not surprised, because Buck would be Wendy's type, and she does love to have a fling with a new guy in town if they meet her criteria, what ever that is." That had a dampening effect on Buck's ego, but he rallied and enjoyed the show complete with a full erection as he watched Bill pound into her.

"Jim seems to be quite the performer too," Carly said. The group was quiet again, but Gabe and Brad's erections were easy to see in their loose fitting shorts. Brad's especially so, because Laura's hand was right next to it. Mitch whispered to Layla, "With Brad and Laura living there part time, they might well show us a few things before this night is over."

"I'll bet you're right." Buck's cock was faring no better, and stood proudly as Anita teased him by moving her hand without touching him. Mitch's cock was hiding behind Layla at the moment, but it was a safe bet that he was just as hard.

It was Carly and Gabe that appeared on the screen next complete with sound. The best image quality they had seen and the sound was stronger, so Hank must have changed cameras. Carly had wanted that to happen and now it was. The eight of them stared at the screen as the game was played and Peggy made her little jokes. More and more of Gabe and Carly's clothes ended up on the floor until they were naked, and his cock was pointed at the audience. Anita knew exactly where this was going, and she was getting stirred up just remembering it. She and Carly exchanged knowing looks and subtle smiles. Then Peggy called Anita to join Carly. Buck too remembered every move and sound and looked at Layla. She could feel his eyes on her so she looked back at him and they spoke to each other in silence. As soon as Anita was naked to the waist, Layla whispered to Mitch and he whispered back as Peggy continued her few seconds of banter on the TV. Then both Buck and Anita watched as Layla went over to them and whispered in Anita's ear. They exchanged knowing looks because they both knew there would be no going back from whatever might happen.

Anita looked up at Buck, kissed his cheek and moved over to Mitch, while Layla took her place next to Buck. His arm went around her and she leaned into him as her hand took its place on his thigh next to his cock. Peggy now had the clamps and chains from Carly's bag of toys, and they watched as she took Carly's breast in her hand before going to her nipple and applied the clamp, which caused Carly to take a quick breath that could be faintly heard. At the same time, Layla and Laura did much the same as they saw Carly bite her lower lip until the pain eased. Peggy's voice was filtering through to them as she talked about them being nipple sisters as a clamp was applied to Anita's nipple with much the same result. "Oh my God," Layla whispered to Buck. He pulled her to him just enough to send her a message, but his hand also was now just below and almost between her breasts. Layla's hand moved closer to Buck's cock, and she squeezed him just enough to remind him she was so close to his hard manhood.

Buck chanced a quick glance over at Anita, and her hand was hidden next to her but he knew it was either on Mitch's cock or very close to it. He just didn't know if she was inside of his shorts or outside. Then Peggy was heard to tell them to kiss, and then kiss again. Layla was staring at the screen, but she couldn't sit still as she watched her friend and Carly kiss deeply as their arms went around each other in a passionate embrace. Peggy was going on about the sweet softness of another woman which didn't quite match how Buck's hard cock felt in Layla's hand. She was having trouble sorting it all out. She watched as her best friend was obviously getting very excited as their kiss continued and she had Buck's cock in her hand as his hand went to her breasts. Her hips moved slightly, and her hand moved on his cock as she leaned into Buck, and he bent forward far enough to kiss the side of her neck and whisper, "I want you so much, Layla." Her hand moved over his cock again and Buck's other hand went to her left hip. 

Neither of them was paying much attention to the TV now as Buck and Layla glanced over at Mitch and Anita. Buck wasn't sure, but he had a feeling Anita was inside of Mitch's shorts now and she had her hand on his warm cock. Her top was moving as Mitch's hand cupped her breast and toyed with her nipple. It was about then that they realized that Laura had Brad's cock out and was slowly stroking him as they watched the scene change. Layla suddenly whispered to Buck, "Pause it, honey. I have to have a drink and take a breath for a minute." He did as she requested and managed to get out, "Request for a pause for refreshments." He didn't bother to say who it was that called for a break. Laura got up leaving Brad leaning against the couch with his cock still in plain view, and Carly and Gabe got up and flashed Buck and Layla in the process as her skirt jumped nearly to her waist for a second.


Chapter Ninety Eight


All but Brad gathered around the punch bowl where Laura hugged Anita and said, "My God, that was so sexy and...you two just melted together. That was awesome." Anita's cheeks flushed slightly as Layla did the same with Carly. They shared a strong embrace and Layla told her, "I've never seen anything like that."

Carly smiled and admitted, "I've never done anything like that either."

"Were you two as excited as it seemed?"

"I know I was. Anita and I have said we need to talk about that, but we haven't yet."

"That whole thing, about what Peggy said about how perfectly sensual a woman feels even to another woman."

"Peggy is obviously bi sexual but I was surprised at what I experienced that night. I could understand what she was saying." Then it was on to Carly and Anita sharing an embrace, and a few whispers before picking up their glass for a generous sample of the potent beverage. Mitch and Buck smiled at each other, and then Mitch moved over to Anita again, as Layla noticed that Mitch's shorts were unzipped. He had voted to keep their change for the time being and nobody was about to disagree with him, especially Layla. They made quick trips to the bathroom, where the men did their best to wipe the moisture from their cocks and then joined the women. Brad was just as they had left him and his cock was still out, though much softer. Then Carly joined Brad, and Laura snuggled in next to Gabe. They'd known each other for less than two hours, but that didn't seem to matter. That's what Carly and Gabe were looking for, and Laura and Brad were just the ones to join in the game.

They went back to their entertainment compliments of Hank, and a minute later they saw Layla at the boutique and she was in her bra and panties. They were back to where they had been before things almost got out of control. Buck's hand was on her belly just below her breasts, and her hand was next to his now half erection. Buck put his lips to her ear and whispered, "You are so damn sexy."

She moved a little and looked at him as she whispered, "Thank you honey." Then on the TV, Layla slipped off her bra and then her panties as Wendy fed her garments to try on. That's when Bill and Chase came in to supposedly pick up the packages for their wives. Of course, they all knew now that those two guys were single, but it didn't matter. Layla stiffened slightly and moved her hand toward Buck's cock again as she watched the two strange men calmly and thoroughly study her. Unaware, Mitch proceeded to touch and kiss Layla's pussy while she stood there frozen in place, and the two men looked on. "Buck, I was so mixed up right then. I just couldn't get my mind around what was happening."

"What was happening was you were getting them excited and so hard, just like you are me right now."

"I was getting excited too, but I refused to accept it right then."

The episode at the boutique was certainly sexy and enjoyable, but what came next almost made Layla stop breathing. Again because of where she was and what was going to happen, because all of her memories were burned into her mind. It was Jim and Aggie and Bill and Wendy on the stage, and it wasn't long before they were naked and slowly fucking. Buck didn't take as long to slip his hand under her top and resume exploring her breasts, and it was only a couple of minutes later when Layla liberated his cock so she could see it in her hand for the first time. It was so hard for her and his cock head was wet as she moved the tight foreskin back just a little. Mitch was circumcised so this was something new for her. She liked how it felt and looked, as she moved her hand up and watched his cock head disappear until she moved down again and watched it appear once again. Buck's left had left her hip and was on her thigh now as his right hand continued its exploration of her nipples. 

It was hard for Layla to keep her hips still. She knew what was coming and she hardly breathed as Bill took moisture from Wendy's pussy and took it over and put his went fingers to Layla's lips for her to taste. Now Buck had seen her taste another woman. Not long ago, they watched her climax from another woman's attention, and now she was tasting one. Then Mitch tasted Wendy before the show continued, and they watched them fuck with great speed and abandon. They liked having an audience. 

Anita had her hand on Mitch's cock, and his hand was all over her breasts, but now Anita was well stretched out on the couch and her skirt barely covered her mound. Buck saw that and his heart jumped at the sight. Not out of jealousy, but out of excitement. She was so close to being exposed and Mitch's other hand was on her thigh. It wouldn't be long before Nita's pussy would be there for all to see. Buck put his lips to Layla's ear again and whispered, "Have you noticed what your husband and my wife are doing?" She didn't want to miss what was coming on the TV, but she glanced over and then up at Buck to see how he was handling it. He answered that when his left hand pulled her skirt up far enough for him to touch her thigh. Only her right thigh prevented Brad and Gabe and their women from seeing her pussy. Layla's eyes went back to the TV, but her focus was on Buck's hand on her thigh on it's way to touching her pussy, and there was nothing she wanted more at that moment.

They recovered just enough to watch Bill bring Layla a drop of his cum and put it on her lips. Her tongue retrieved that pearl of his seed and took it into her mouth like she had just captured a prize. It was right then that she felt Buck's fingers touch her pussy. Her eyes closed and her legs opened for him. Her skirt was up and out of the way and Layla didn't care. Mitch and Anita watched until her hand went down to stop him as she whispered, "Oh God Buck, I could have cum right then."

"I'd like you to. I want to see you as you cum honey."

"I have to stop for a minute. Buck I'm so close to putting you inside of me right now, but I can't. Not yet." She was admitting that they would make love. Not right then, but soon. The DVD was over so that meant another break at least and Anita went over to Layla and bent and kissed her softly. "Nita, I was so close to putting Buck inside of me."

"I know you were. Mitch and I were close too." Then Anita put her hand over Layla's that was holding Buck's cock as she knelt between Layla's legs. Anita leaned forward and felt Layla's pussy push against her upper chest as Anita kissed her belly. "Does Buck's cock feel good to you?"

Layla managed a weak smile and said, "It feels wonderful, but I knew it would." Anita helped Layla up, and Buck joined them as all of them used the restroom again and did their best to drink the last of the punch and eat more snacks.

Carly was now topless, and Laura's top was pushed up to expose her breasts. She finally pulled it down simply because it was getting uncomfortable for her. They stayed in the kitchen and with Buck's butt against the counter Layla was leaning into him with her head on his chest. She just couldn't leave him alone now. She wanted to be touching him all the time. Anita wasn't quite that way, but she was at Mitch's side every minute. Laura's hand would touch Gabe or caress him, and Brad was totally infatuated with Carly. Lust and passion filled the air and before the night was out something would have to come of it. Mating would take place.


Chapter Ninety Nine


The octet of potential sex partners slowly eased back from their near coupling and even enjoyed some conversation about Discovery and some of the residents, and of course about Hank. But Laura and Brad weren't about to say anything bad about him, because after all, he was still Max's blood. At one point Buck whispered to Anita, "Are you okay, honey?"

She smiled and assured him. "I'm fine. You and Layla look so into each other and so sexy. I almost forget to watch TV sometimes." Layla joined them and Buck continued to whisper saying, "Our other couples seem to be getting along great."

"I think some of our show before tonight is over; will be one of those couples, if not both of them."

Mitch reappeared and holding up a DVD said, "Well here's the next passport to adventure and titillation."

Anita was once again tucked into Mitch on the couch in their near recumbent position, and in moments Mitch's hands were resuming their previous position and that was a good thing. As they watched, their first image was of Kali at Casey's, and the only thing she was wearing were her panties, which soon disappeared. Buck was watching his wife a lot closer than he was Kali, though seeing her stirred his feelings for her again. Layla looked at him and whispered, "You okay, love?"

"I'll be okay. I just hope Anita will be too." Once Kali had a new bra on, Mae caressed Kali's breasts as she talked about fit and that's when Buck, thinking he was so clever went over and touched Kali's breasts as he talked about different styles. It wasn't hard to see that was getting to her, and a second later Anita looked over at Buck and their eyes connected. It had bothered her a little, but she smiled at him and went back to the half life sized Kali. The two couples on the floor were quietly watching, but they were almost busier with their hands on each other.

Buck was ready for things to progress a little, so he told Layla he'd be right back, and she took his place in the chair and watched as he went over to Anita. Holding out his hand to her he said, "Hon, stand up for me for a second." She had no reason not to, so she stood up next to him and that exposed Mitch's hard cock standing proud through his shorts. Then as his hands reached for her top he whispered, "I love you babe," and relieved her of her top before reaching for her skirt. 

"Buck wait, I'm not wearing panties."

"I was pretty sure you weren't and that's okay."

Then out came her most often used phrase, "Oh my God, honey."

She stood there naked now, and all eyes were on her, as Buck touched her before he whispered, "Now take Mitch's clothes off too."

"But honey do you realize what..."

"I realize and it's time, don't you think? You and Mitch want each other don't you?"

"You know we do."

"Layla and I can't go on like this much longer, and I see no reason why we should, any of us." With that he kissed her and went back to Layla and held out his hand to her.

"Buck, no, we shouldn't," but she took his hand and stood up.

"Layla, I love you. You know that and I know you love me. We've teased each other until we can hardly breathe," and his hands went to her skirt and freed her of that little garment. Mitch wasn't moving as he watched his wife be exposed to all in the room as her top disappeared, and then Buck let his shorts drop to the floor before he sat back down and pulled her down to him.

Layla lay in his arms as a couple fucked on the TV and she said, "Oh God, I can't believe this Buck." Their kiss could have started fires as they released a little of their passion for each other. Buck had a plan of sorts, but it was delayed then by Laura saying, "Oh God Gabe, look at that...look at him." All eyes went to the TV then as Dan stood close to now naked Peggy with his massive cock pointing at her.

Layla stopped what she was doing and asked Buck, "Is this what you were telling us about?"

"This is it."

"And she's going to take that?"

"Just watch honey, just watch." Hanks new camera had some nifty features it turned out or he had once again upgraded it because the camera zoomed in on Dan's impressive cock as it neared Peggy's shiny well lubed pussy. Buck was still convinced some of that was a little exaggerated, but the last half he had to admit looked pretty damn real when he watched them that day. For a brief moment, he remembered Faith sitting near him as they watched her bodyguard split very willing Peggy. 

The room went quiet and all hands stopped moving. As Dan's cock made it's slow progress, all four women, one by one murmured "Oh God." 

"I almost hurts watching her," Laura said. Carly and Gabe had been with Buck and Anita for that show, but even with that, Buck and Anita stared again as Peggy slowly opened up to accept his girth. The sound of her softly mumbling could be heard as he went into her deeply before pulling back. Layla had Buck's cock in her hand, but she wasn't moving as she stared at the screen. The only sounds coming from the four couples were a few words spoken under their breath to their partner. Then Dan pulled out and put lubricant all over Peggy's ass and his cock again. "Oh no, she can't...can she," Mitch asked.




It's All About Faith Pt. 06



Anita whispered to him, "You'll have your answer in just a minute." It was more than a minute later when Dan finally advanced into Peggy and she let out a low guttural groan. His cock disappeared deep into her, then before he pulled back, shot more lubricant on his cock and once again disappeared inside of her. Then a minute later, he went after her full speed as she cried and bucked back against his cock. It didn't take Dan long to cum as the four couples watched while Dan's cock spit pearl colored cream all over Peggy's ass and back. There was a collective relief felt in the room once Dan was free of Peggy's ass. His cock, though about half soft now, was still very large and Hank's camera got an excellent shot of it.

The room was quiet for a minute and with all of them frozen in place, Dan's show did more to cool everybody's ardor, rather than get them more fired up. None of them could have looked away if they wanted to, but in a way they were all glad it was over. Buck hit the pause button but wasn't interested in getting up again. He was where he wanted to be and to move might have spoiled the whole night. Eye contact between Buck and Layla and Mitch and Anita said that they were okay, so Buck started the show again and maybe he shouldn't have.

It started off with Kali having to strip to her panties and stand next to the naked guy next to her. It was bad enough that he and Anita had to be reminded of Kali again, but he also remembered what was coming next. As soon as Kali was naked again, Layla whispered, "She does have a cute shape." Buck just smiled at her and nodded and thought that was just one of her many charms as he hit play again. 


Chapter One Hundred


Faith joined Peggy on stage and Anita and the others listened as Faith said her sweet words about Buck and he was asked to join them. Now they all knew what was about to happen. "Buck, is this going where I think it's going?"

"It is."

Her eyes drilled into him as she said, "Damn it, damn it."

"Layla honey, what's wrong?" 

She had tears in her eyes as she said, "Make love to me honey. Please, right now...right here, or wherever I don't care but I want you now." Buck was knocked back by that, but he kissed her and simply said, "I want you too, honey." They didn't bother to leave the room and they didn't care who watched them now. No fancy foreplay, or love talk, because it was too late for that. Anita was torn between watching her husband screw Faith on TV, and him making love to her best friend right in front of her. The two couples on the floor were faced with the same choices, but they stood up, stripped naked, and continued to do their best to watch both shows. Mitch forgot about the TV and watched his wife be taken by his best friend for the first time.

Buck and Layla spent a couple of minutes kissing and whispering back and forth, and then he lowered himself to her and she guided is hard cock into her in one smooth move. She had been so excited for so long her honey was almost dripping out of her. Layla's legs went wide and her heels came up until the bottoms of her feet were on Buck's chest. At a glance it looked like she was pushing him away, but it was just the opposite. She wanted to open herself to him and tip her pelvis up to make it easy for him to take her hard and fast, and he did just that. Like Anita, Layla wasn't a vocal lover, but she kept oozing soft sounds as her hands went to the floor, and then up to her breasts, and then reached out to touch Buck, before she went back to her breasts again and pulled her nipples slightly. Buck was a no frills hammering lover and that's just what she wanted right then. She really did love him, and had wanted his cock inside of her for so long. Anita knelt down next to Buck and slowly caressed his back with her hand, as Mitch knelt next to Layla and caressed his wife. He didn't have any idea where her mind might be right then so all he could do was wait and be a support for her. 

Mitch was watching Layla and he could feel her out of control passion. He loved watching her as she made love when the two of them were in bed together, and this was no different really. He just had a different view of his wife as she was fucked hard and a little rough. Her body jerked with each of his down thrusts and her tits would sway left and right or up and down. Her feet left his chest then and went to the floor so she could buck her hips up to meet his thrusts. She had skipped through a light orgasm early on and she was close to another when Buck faltered slightly before going again. She knew he was so very close, and his body was pouring sweat as he looked at her and whispered, "I love you." Then with another hard push he went deep and stopped, as his body refused to move while he gave her everything he had to share. She watched his face and as he slammed into her that last time, and just knowing she was receiving Buck's offering set her off, and she joined him as the others quietly watched. 

As soon as they had settled down, Mitch and Anita joined them on the floor, and as Buck and Layla slowly settled down, those two were going at it with Anita's legs wide and Mitch giving her every bit as much as Buck had given Layla. Buck was still breathing hard as he lay next to Layla, and watched Anita be taken by another man for the first time. That set the other two couples off, so there were now three couples fucking on the living room floor.

Buck's arm was over Layla and he was kissing her neck or cheek as Mitch and Anita continued until they too reached their point of no return. They watched as first Anita flew into a hard and long orgasm and after continuing to pound into her another minute, Mitch followed her. He held himself over her until his contractions eased slightly, and then he lowered himself onto her. They kissed and whispered as they let that sweet rapture wrap itself around them. 

It was several more minutes before any of them had any interest in moving, but finally Layla and Anita got up and went to the bathroom to clean up and catch what was running down their thighs. It was also almost twenty minutes before they emerged, because they had to talk about what had just happened. Buck and Mitch just lay there on their backs and smiled at each other until they rose up and watched the other two couples finish what they had started. Anita went back to Mitch, and Layla sat next to Buck, and watched the other couples finish their lovemaking like she watched that sort of thing routinely. One thing they all knew now, was they didn't really care what was on the remaining discs, and another thing they knew, was they didn't need those discs anymore. They had taken a very large step on their journey toward their new lives.

Once the other women headed to the bathroom to wash up, Buck turned to Layla and asked her, "Honey, what happened awhile ago? You started to cry, and then we were making love."

"Well damn it, it's your fault. I was pretty sure we would make love, but then here came Faith and you two were going to go at it first."

"But honey that happened a long time ago."

"Not to me. To me it was right then, and I just couldn't sit there and listen and watch you two. Not when we were together and naked and wanted each other so much. Damn it. stay away from her okay?"

"Are you jealous?"

Her tears were back again as she said, "So what if I am. It's one thing for you and Nita to make love, but with her...well and with Kali too...that's different. In fact, I'd like to watch you and Nita make love some time...okay, I know I'm not making a lot of sense."

"You're making sense, but I don't know what to say about it. So it didn't bother you to watch Mitch make love to Anita."

"No, I thought that was very loving and erotic."

"And it's okay if you and I make love."

"It's not just okay, it's...we have to. I want us to make love again. I don't mean tonight, but the next time, maybe we won't be so damn frantic and out of control. I want to feel you love me."

"I do too. Then he smiled and said, "You and Mitch certainly will have a lot to talk about tonight."

"We will and so will you and Anita." They were settling down at last. Anita moved over to Buck and kissed him and they both said I love you and smiled at each other. The other two couples were dressing, and before long the party broke up, except Mitch and Layla stayed so they could talk and just relax and be together.

Mitch leaned back against the couch and said, "Well that's been a long time coming, and damn it I wish we hadn't wasted so much time getting to this point." No one asked if there were any regrets because it was obvious there were none, and in fact Layla moved over to Anita and they shared a long embrace and a kiss and enjoyed that woman to woman sensation that Peggy had mentioned. "Damn Anita you and Mitch were so sexy together."

"Mitch and I thought we were going to have to get the garden hose out for you two." 

"Well, between watching you and Mitch and the TV, and Buck driving me crazy with his words and his hands, I was having trouble getting my eyes to focus."

"Just what pushed you over the edge so quickly?"

Buck smiled and then so did Layla as she said, "That bitch Faith."

Anita leaned back against Mitch and laughed. "God Layla, he's slept with I don't know how many women now. There's Kali, of course, and Faith, and me, and of course now you. Then there's Brenda, and..."

"Brenda?"

"Yes, long and lean blond haired Brenda, as sweet and nice as you could ask. Pretty good in bed too, I'm sure. I don't know if I'm missing any or not."

Layla was smiling, but she smacked Buck's arm and said, "You just keep that thing in your pants except for me and Anita, at least for awhile." 

"It isn't my fault. None of it is in fact. I was seduced by other forces."

"And every one of those forces were armed with no more than tits and a pussy."

"See you just admitted they were armed."

"You just suffer from recurring inflation."

"I can't help it, that's how guys are wired."

"What about Mitch, he hasn't slept with six other women."

"I'll introduce him to Faith, and Wendy, and Brenda, and..."

"Like hell you will. I suppose you intend to go back to Discovery."

"I was thinking about it once it warms up in the spring."

"Anita?"

She smiled and said, "I want to go back too."

Then Layla smiled and admitted, "We want to go back there too."

None of them wanted the night to be over, but they were all tired and getting sleepy. None of them wanted to get dressed, either but Mitch and Layla had to so they could get home, and they all had a lot to think and talk about over the coming days.


Chapter One Hundred One


It was exactly one week later Buck and Anita got a call. "Hello Anita?"

"Yes, is this Faith?" 

"It's me. How are you and Buck getting along?"

"We're fine, how are you?"

"A little frayed actually, Discovery has been taking up so much of my time. I've been meaning to call and see how things are with regards to those discs."

Anita laughed to herself and said, "They were exactly what we were worried about."

"Great, I'm glad to hear that. I was going to call and then Max had a heart attack and..."

"Oh my God, is he okay?"

"Oh, he's mending. Still at the hospital, because they're having a little trouble getting his medicine dosages balanced. Because we're so isolated, when he got into trouble, it took them forever to get to us and we almost lost him."

"I'm so sorry, Faith. I know there's nothing we can do for you, but both of you will be in our thoughts."

"Thank you, Anita. Maybe when things settle down and Max is back on his feet, we can meet someplace for dinner or something."

"We'd like that. You came up in our conversation not long ago in fact"

"That's nice to hear. How is Kali doing now?"

"She had a rough go of it, as I'm sure you know, but the last time I talked to her she was doing okay."

"I'm glad. I won't dwell on that though."

"That's okay Faith, we all knew we were playing with fire."

"Max and I owe all of you so much. I know you were trying to save yourselves, but you did it in such a way that Discovery and many of my friends were saved a lot of trauma. I know the price all of you paid was higher because of that."

"We love your town and your friends, Faith."

"We know you do. Well, stay well and we'll talk again soon, and tell Buck I send my love."

"I will, bye."

When Buck came in from the garage he asked, "Who was on the phone?"

"One of your lovers."

"Oh, which one?"

"You could have phrased that a whole lot better than that, you jerk."

He smiled then ands asked, "Okay, so who was it?" She told him about the call, and they talked about Max, and his age, and hard driving high pressure lifestyle, and Buck said, "He was a heart attack waiting to happen. I just hope he slows down now." But he didn't and he was dead a month later. There was nothing they could do for Faith beyond reminding her they would do whatever she asked if it would help her. Nobody could help her with her mourning though. Faith dealt with that by focusing on her village project because that was going on at full speed. Now more than ever money wasn't an issue, because she liquidated a lot of his assets. It was just too much for her to keep up with even with the staff that she had to help her. The farm stayed in one piece, and with the help of her managers, that was going to do okay.

Fall turned to winter, and Buck and Anita were getting together with Mitch and Layla almost weekly, but they saved their partner swapping for what they called their special occasions. Their way of regulating it so they could stay away from the risk of it losing the excitement. Their other fear was they could reach a point where they would swap permanently, because their feelings for each other ran that deep. Buck and Anita were staying in touch with Kali, but when they got together it was Kali and Anita, and Buck stayed away just to play it safe. The four of them all but lost touch with Brad and Laura, and Gabe and Carly were infrequent visitors. Not for any specific reasons, it was just how things worked out. Brenda and Buck had talked a few times, and occasionally traded e-mails, and she still sparked something in him. A curiosity perhaps, or that sense of adventure that she seemed to bring out in him. Besides, she was pretty damn nice to look at too. They kept in contact with Faith, mostly by e-mail, but every so often by phone. It still puzzled them how a woman of her wealth and social standing would bond with them the way she had.

The winter months seemed to drag on forever, lingering well into April before the temperatures started to show the first hints of spring. It was on one of those mild Saturday mornings late in April when Buck and Anita got a surprise visitor. At the sound of their doorbell Buck and Anita shared a 'who the hell can that be' look and Buck went to see. Then Anita heard him say, "Faith, what a fantastic surprise, come in." Anita went in and was greeted with a nice hug and a kiss, and then Buck received the same thing.

"I'm so sorry to come without calling ahead, I know that's rude."

"We're glad you did, come have some coffee." 

As they went into the living room Faith said, "Could we use the kitchen, I have something to show you two."

"Of course," and a minute later Faith was spreading something out on the table and Anita supplied the coffee for the three of them. 

"I was going to send this with one of my people, but at the last second I decided to do it myself. I hope you'll forgive me."

"Nothing to forgive, you look great by the way."

"Thank you. It's been rough, but I'm getting there and life goes on. Then she turned to Buck and said, "Now, before I get into a long winded presentation, I need a hug from both of you again. Buck pulled her into him and held her close as he kissed her lightly and said, "We've thought about you so often. It's good to see you looking so fit."

Anita smiled and said, "The translation of that is, it's good to see you and feel you in my arms again."

Faith smiled, and then she and Anita shared another long embrace and another kiss. "Okay now, it's time for me to brag a little." She turned to the large drawing and started. "As you can see we've made a few changes, but not a lot of them." As her hand moved around the drawing she said, "Okay, so this is the highway as you remember it. The buildings on the north side are mostly warehouses with small storefronts to maintain the ambiance. The small store fronts will be things like an ice cream, and coffee shop, and behind it, will be the textiles warehouse. If ice cream sales are slow, they will help in the warehouse. It will be like that all along the north side of the street. Jim and Delia's shop will be over there too, and their warehouse of course will go out behind their new store. Then on the south side, will be most of the shops that you two will remember, the boutiques and so forth. Oh, and both restaurants will be along that area. We're still working out the details, but there will be a small gift shop, and things like you'd expect to find in small tourist towns. Not so much to make a profit, but there again, they will work in tandem with warehouses and help preserve the town's image. As you can see, there's the small town square with the little green space that we hope will come in handy for celebrations. Oh, and we're building a shortcut over to highway one twenty from the warehouses, so that will give them much better access to the interstate highway. Now behind the south stores...oh wait, over the south stores will be two apartments. One will be mine, and the other will be for special guests like you two. The next time you come to the village, you'll stay there. It's not huge, but it will be very comfortable with two bathrooms and one bedroom." Then she smiled and added, "That bedroom will be twenty by thirty, and will have four beds, all very nicely decorated and so forth. You know, just in case your friends want to come along."

Buck was up to his flirting again and putting his arm around Faith said, "Now if you have your own apartment you'll never sleep over with us."

"Honey, if I sleep with you, I will not behave myself, and Anita and I'll end up arguing." She kissed his cheek and went on. "Now there will be a whole new development of small townhouses, a few larger condominiums, and a few one and two bedroom cottages. More can be added as needs arise, of course. All of the housing will be behind gates, and a tall fence, and privacy hedges, and so forth. You can even access the back of the south stores without leaving the protected area. We'll have to work out our new lifestyles, but there are plenty of options open to us, so all we have to do is work through it like we did with the old village. In the end, it will be even better than before. Well, you can see and read my notes all over the drawing."

"How far along is construction?"

"All of the north warehouses are about finished, complete with the storefronts. The south stores are well on their way and so is the housing."

"How are you getting it done so fast?"

"We have two different contractors working on the stores and warehouses, and one large outfit working on the housing."

"Ethel and Grace and Blanche must be going crazy trying to keep up with demand."

"They are. We had extra help brought in and they are staying at my place."

"My God Faith, this is a huge and extremely expensive undertaking."

She combed her fingers through her hair and said, "Yes it is. In fact, we're over budget, but we'll make it. Our warehousing is going very well, and we still have those in State College, of course. It's the profits from those that are helping in a small way to cover the budget overage." It wasn't hard to see her nearly boundless enthusiasm and they were happy for her, but they knew she had to be losing millions in the process, if not tens of millions. Looking down the road a few years, could she even keep the town going? After telling them about the village and leaving the drawing with them, she was gone, no doubt to handle a crisis somewhere. 




It's All About Faith Pt. 06



Chapter One Hundred Two


The improving weather seemed to be encouraging people to get out more, because it wasn't long after Faith's visit that Carly stopped, and she and Anita visited while Buck spent his time at his computer. After a while, Anita and Carly went to the bedroom and closed the door. As soon as they were alone Carly asked, "Do you ever think about what we shared on stage that night?"

Anita didn't know if she wanted to get into that or not, but she admitted, "Yes I have. I can't decide if it was just the moment, the excitement of everybody watching us, the clamps tying us together just like Peggy said, or what it was. But I can't deny that something was getting to me."

"Have you tried clamps like that since that night?"

"No I haven't."

"I have, and they still hurt like hell, but I think that really did contribute to what we shared. That whole thing was so damn intense, that I didn't even feel that clamp very long."

"I didn't either." Anita's heart was speeding up, because she knew that Carly wanted to see if there was anything there after time had passed. 

"The four of us sure shared some intense moments didn't we."

"We did. I just assumed that Gabe and I would end up making love in fact."

"That's what we thought too, but after watching you two with Mitch and Layla, it was easy to see you four had something very special going on."

"That was so intense it scared all four of us in fact." Then Carly slipped her top off and then her shorts went to the floor. Now Anita's heart was really racing as she slowly undressed as well. Nobody was making her do this, so why was she doing it? Why not just say sorry, I'm just not that way, and be done with it? Because she too had wondered if that feeling with Carly could ever be repeated. Carly put her hands on Anita's arms and gently pulled them together. They weren't hurrying as they felt their warmth against each other. Carly's thirty six B breasts felt firm against her chest and it surprised her that Carly's breast size would stick in her mind like that. Then they came together in a kiss, dainty and timid at first as they worked through their awkwardness. They almost feared that they might enjoy it, and yet they wanted to know, they needed to know. Anita had no desire to be bi sexual, but there was that little part of that had so enjoyed that experience.

"Anita, you okay?"

"I'm afraid, Carly."

"If we decide there's nothing there, then we'll quit, have a laugh and that will be that."

"But what if we find there is something there, then what?"

"If there is, then we'll sort it out. Just denying it's there won't make it so." They melted into another kiss and their nervousness and fear eased enough for their hands to slowly and tentatively explore each other. A hand on a butt, or a breast, as their kiss continued, and their tongues got acquainted. They would pull back just enough to look into each other's eyes, and then Anita would feel Carly's lips with the tip of her tongue. The more they kissed, the more they explored, both with their hands and their tongues. They weren't laughing. In fact, they weren't even smiling. Their hearts and minds were racing out of control. Carly explored Anita's breasts and took her nipples in her mouth as Anita's head went back.

"Nita, I'm going to the computer store," Buck called out.

Anita found her voice and said, "Okay hon, see you when you get back," and then went right back to Carly again. They moved to the bed then began exploring in earnest. Neither of them knew about making love to a woman. How far did they want to take their experiment? What if one of them made the other one climax? Then Anita remembered Layla's experience with Eva. Could she? Would she go that far with Carly? Eva had made oral love to Layla. She had eaten Layla's pussy. Could she really do that with Carly? Rather than try to think that through, her hand went between Carly's legs and Carly opened herself up by spreading her legs wide apart. They shared another long and very deep kiss as Carly's hand found Anita's pussy and her finger slipped between her lips to find her wetness. After gathering some of Anita's dew, she brought her hand up and put her fingers in her mouth, and for the first time tasted another woman. Then Anita did the same with Carly and slipped her wet fingers into her mouth. Warm moistness, it didn't taste bad at all. In fact, there was very little taste and she found the idea of doing that excited her. That made Anita kiss her hard, then and Carly responded eagerly as they resumed exploring each other longer and deeper. Carly's wet fingers came out and found Anita's clit, and touched that carefully, before slipping back inside of her.

Then it all changed. Anita kissed her way down Carly's body until she arrived where her fingers had been. She was within inches of Carly's pussy now, and she studied it before she used her tongue. It looked different than hers did somehow. Different inner lips for sure, and a more prominent clit, but not by a lot. Where Anita's lips were more puffy and pronounced, Carly's were smaller which drew more attention to her inner lips. Then her tongue touched and caressed first her right lips and then her left ones. Then her tongue slipped between them and slowly made it's way up until she came out at her clit where she lingered for just a second. Carly raised her hips slightly in appreciation and her hands went down to Anita's shoulders to encourage her to do more. As Carly's hips moved, Anita went to work on her pussy, diving deep into her and then easing up to suck on her clit, or slowly lick her clit and hood. Then she added a finger, and then two, as she continued to eat and tease and send waves of sensations all over Carly's body. With hands still on her shoulders and Carly's hips pumping up and down in encouragement, Anita went at it until Carly groaned softly and her legs moved closer to Anita. She was so very close now, so Anita introduced a third finger and licked and sucked more, and without even realizing it, a finger moved back and teased her anus. The build up from what Anita was doing and the fresh and more vigorous assault on her pussy, sent Carly flying and her legs clamped against Anita as her orgasm engulfed her.

Anita moved up and over Carly and as she settled down Anita kissed her softly. Carly put her arms around Anita and they kissed again as Carly continued to recover from her climax. "Oh Anita, that was so good."

She didn't know what to say. Was she glad it was good for her? Now what the hell would she do or say? She didn't have to do or say anything, because a minute later Carly went down on Anita and she lay there, and watched her friend dive between her legs and return the favor. They both had a lot to learn about woman to woman love, but they were doing pretty good. Anita closed her eyes and let herself get lost in the sensations that Carly was giving her. The idea that it was a woman doing that seemed to get lost on her for the moment, and she just let it happen. It wasn't long before Anita's legs closed against Carly as she too flew into an orgasm. Their experiment was over and it had been much more successful than either had expected, and for Anita at least, more even than she wanted. They quietly lay there and recovered before sitting up as Carly said, "Wow, I really didn't expect...well, I don't know what I expected."

"I can't decide how I feel about it, Carly."

"I understand." She tipped her head back and combed her fingers through her hair and then stood up and started to dress. "I'll leave you alone so you can think about it because that's what I need to do too." Anita dressed and followed her out and said goodbye. Just like that, she arrived they had sex and now she was gone. That didn't leave Anita feeling very good about herself. On top of her regret, she discovered there was a much more important issue to deal with when she went back toward the bedroom and discovered Buck was in the computer room.


Chapter One Hundred Three


Buck knew that Carly had left and he could hear Anita coming down the hall, but he focused on the monitor as though he was deep in thought about something. "Oh...you scared me; I thought you were out shopping, Buck."

"No, been here the whole time." He turned from the monitor and looked at his still naked wife and asked in an even tone, "Would you care to share with me how that all came about?" She was still standing there trying to sort it all out. She still was confused about what had happened between her and Carly, and now how was she going to explain it to Buck? "Nita, I stood there and watched you two with the door opened just a little. Of course you and Carly were a little too busy to notice that." Buck was fighting his own battles as well. As he watched them, his cock got hard and stayed that way until Carly had her orgasm and even beyond. He was mad about their deceit, but he was excited too. He also had to admit he hadn't given her time to come to him on her own to talk about their little tryst.

"Buck, I don't know what to say. I didn't know that's why Carly had come. Then she brought up what we had shared on the stage that night, and that was something we needed to talk about." Buck went over to her and put his arms around her and she held him close as she continued. "Then it just happened, and well I guess you saw all of that."

"You seemed to be very willing, Nita."

"I know. It was frightening and exciting all at the same time."

"Do you see that as having sex?"

"Buck, I haven't even had time to convince myself that all of that really happened. That Carly and I did those things with each other."

"Was that something new to Carly too?"

"She said it was and I believe her. We haven't been to discovery since last summer and it still invades our lives." Buck was all primed to be upset with her and to remind her that she and Carly had just had sex thinking they were hiding it from him. That was deceitful and it hurt him and that's the point he wanted to make, but he decided that should wait. Nita needed time to work through the experience, and he had to work through if he would mind if she did that again...as long as he could watch of course. Of course over the last year he'd been anything but faithful to her.

"Hon, we're going over to Mitch and Layla's later, do you still want to go?"

"Yes of course I do, we haven't seen them in almost two weeks."

"You and Carly were very sexy...and very turned on."

"It all happened so fast and then she just got dressed and left like she was there by appointment and her time was up."

"She probably had her own issues to deal with."

"But she came with the intention of having something happen."

"Maybe she never thought you two would take it that far."

She smiled and asked him, "Are you defending her now?"

"Well she does look good when she's naked. No, I'm not defending her, hon, I'm just trying to give her the benefit of doubt."

"Well Discovery sure has provided us with a lot of excitement. We haven't been there in seven or eight months and it still pops into our lives. It's been amazing, but it's been a lot of work dealing with it too.... work, and, hurt, and love, and excitement, all from one little anonymous village in the middle of nowhere."

All of what had just happened was still fresh in their minds when they got an e- mail from Faith. "Hope you two are well and have rested up over the winter because I have something to share and this message is going to all of your friends that were part of your heroic efforts last fall. We are planning a huge celebration in June and the exact date will be announced very soon. You must plan on joining us because we will be handing out the keys to the new homes, and we will be opening the new stores all the same day. There will be a small show at the new Playhouse Friday night and then a parade around the new village square Saturday afternoon. New shops, and Wendy promises new merchandise and Peggy promises fun at the show. Of course, Jim and Delia will have some surprises to add to the festivities. There will never be another celebration in Discovery that will match this one, and perhaps not anywhere else in the country either. The exact dates and details will be available in just a few days, but keep June open so you can join us. After all, it's because of you and your friends that we've spent millions of dollars for this project and created a whole new village. Your apartment is ready and waiting for you. Love to you both, Faith."

Anita looked at Buck and simply said, "We have to go."

"Are we ready for that? Brenda will be there and almost certainly Kali will be there."

"If she is, she'll share the apartment with us."

"Maybe this isn't a good idea then."

"Are you afraid of her, Buck?"

"Of course not, but...it could be a little awkward and I don't want you to..."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be okay. I'm sure Gabe and Carly will be at the apartment too."

"That would mean Kali would be the odd person."

"I'll talk to her and see what she thinks, but she should be there because she played a big part in that whole drama."

"Then I'll leave it up to you, honey, now what about you and Carly?"

"No."

"Just like that, no?"

"Buck, we don't need anything more to complicate our lives. As you saw we got along great, but that's where it stops."

"Well that e-mail means we'll have a lot to talk about when we go over to Mitch and Layla's." It had been quite awhile since they had traded partners, but as soon as they were at Mitch and Layla's they did just that. 

Layla had been thinking about the celebration and as soon as she had her arms around Buck she asked him, "How would you feel about you and me sharing a bed while we're there?"

"Trade for the weekend?"

"Yes, totally trade right from here and until we get home Sunday."

"I'd love it, but will Mitch go along with it?"

"He didn't hesitate, and he's asking Anita, if he hasn't already."

"This really will be a celebration to remember then and I can't wait."

"Next month, honey."

Buck and Layla were undressed and kissing when Anita said, "Buck?"

Without taking his eyes off of Layla asked, "Where are you, honey?"

"Over here under Mitch and...oh God Mitch, you were supposed to wait a minute." Buck and Layla went over to them and as Mitch slowly slid in and out of Anita, Buck knelt down on the floor close to her and kissed her. Anita's eyes closed for a second then she managed to say, "I told Mitch yes."

"That you'll marry him?" Buck was kidding but her eyes locked onto him for a second just as Mitch changed his movements. "God Mitch, oh honey, Mitch has his cock inside of me."

"I know and I can see you like it a lot."

"I love it. Kiss me again, baby," and he did. "I love Mitch, honey."

"I know you do, and he loves you. I can see his cock go in and out of you and his cock is shining with your juices." Then Buck put his hand between them and wet his fingers on Mitch's cock and put it to her lips and said, "From his cock to your lips love." Her eyes closed again and her hands went to Mitch's arms. Buck moved over a little and Layla lay on the carpet next to Anita. A minute later Buck was slowly fucking Layla as she found Anita's hand and held onto it. Layla and Anita's eyes connected as their surrogate husbands continued to fuck them, and the women continued to stay connected. The men continued to slide in and out of their lovers, not feverishly, but a steady speed and the two men almost matched each other stroke for stroke. Even Buck and Mitch looked at each other and smiled as they pushed and pulled. Mitch looked over and saw Buck's cock going into his wife and Buck had watched Mitch's cock as well. They didn't want to rush and have it over. The four of them were so much alike they didn't have to talk about the details of what they wanted. 

Anita turned over and got on her knees so Mitch could take her from behind, but she also moved closer to Layla until she was able to kiss her as Mitch entered her again. "Layla, Mitch is inside of me again. He's fucking me from behind." Anita's breasts were hanging down and Layla's right hand went to them as she said, "Buck is fucking me too and he's so good. I love to feel him inside of me."

"Nita, honey," Buck said, "Touch Layla and feel my cock going into her. Feel your husband's cock all wet with her honey." She had to move and that disrupted Mitch's motions, but they were soon back at it, and Anita found Layla's pussy and took her time touching Layla and then Buck's cock. Then a minute later, she brought her hand up to her lips, and as Layla watched she put her fingers into her own mouth. Mitch started pushing into Anita faster, and Buck matched move for move and all four of them were on their way to their ultimate goal. It wasn't spoken, or expected, but right at her orgasm Anita kissed Layla, and they stayed together until Layla joined her and Buck hammered into her hard and fast until he stopped and filled Layla's pussy with his contribution.

Their orgasm had halted the kiss, but a moment later they resumed and shared a long and warm kiss. As Anita pulled back a little, Layla softly told her, "You're husband's spunk is sneaking out of me." 

Anita looked between her legs and said, "Mitch's is running down my leg to your carpet." Layla touched Anita's inner thigh and then tasted her husband's cum, and that moved Anita to get between Layla's legs and use her fingers on Layla's pussy to retrieve some of Buck's offering and then put it to Layla's lips.

Then Layla whispered, "I love you, Nita."

"I love you too, and I wouldn't change or trade our lives for anything."

"I wouldn't either."


Chapter One Hundred Four


June did finally arrive, and bright and early Friday morning, the foursome left Scranton and headed toward Discovery. Toward what Faith was calling the ultimate celebration, with Mitch and Anita in the back, and Layla and Buck in the front. Their big weekend long swap had begun. As they neared the Village, changes were evident immediately. The old Discovery sign now had an arrow pointing to the left and straight ahead was nothing but warehouses down one side. The old quaint small town no longer existed. They turned left and then right and saw the new village square covered in sweet green grass and dotted with trees at least a dozen feet tall. Diagonal parking went around the perimeter and helium filled balloons were tied all over and people were everywhere. They pictured the drawing and knew approximately where their apartment would be, so they parked and sat there for a minute at a loss for words.

Layla finally said, "The architects have done a great job of making the buildings look like they're from the forties. The place is immaculate and friendly looking."

"But it isn't Discovery," Anita finished.

"That's right. I guess it's a matter of adjusting is all, but I'm sure this has been pretty hard for the residents that loved the old town so much."

"I'll just bet it was."

"Well," Buck said, "I'd guess our apartment entrance is that alcove next to the gift shop." Then they saw the welcome sign hung across the alcove, so they unloaded the car and found their way to their new accommodations. Buck led the way up the stairs and to the right to their door and found it open just as Faith had said it would be. He went in first and there stood Kali, and they stared at each other with Buck blocking the way for the others. Layla gave him a gentle push and they all piled in as Buck said, "Hi skinny," and they walked into each other's arms as the others stopped and watched. Kali had tears in her eyes as she looked up at him and said, "Now damn it, let's not get into the skinny thing, okay?"

"And after that long speech I gave you about desserts. I'll bet you've hardly had any since then." Then he whispered, "It's so damn good to see you again." She just held onto him and pressed the side of her face into his chest. Anita tried to ignore them as she looked around the apartment and Layla went over to her.




It's All About Faith Pt. 06



"You okay?"

"I'm okay. I knew that would happen so I was prepared for it. They have to get past the how are you stuff and settle down a little."

"She really does love him doesn't she?"

"That's for sure. I really hurt for her and actually I'm surprised she even came."

"I don't know that I would have. She's going to feel like such a fifth wheel."

"I know. We talked about that when I called her. Even though she said she'd be here, I really didn't believe that."

Buck and Kali finally let go and she mingled with the others putting on a brave face. When she got near Anita she said, "Faith promised me I'd have a great time so here I am, but she better have great plans or I'll kill her."

"Kali, don't feel like you have to stay away from Buck or not kiss him. He's missed you too you know."

"I'll try to behave."

"The last time you did that it blew up in your face remember?"

"I remember every minute of it, but thanks for reminding me." The others had found the bedroom and it was just as Faith had said it would be, one huge bedroom with four beds and two bathrooms and very tastefully furnished and appointed. Then Gabe and Carly arrived, and everybody tried to talk at once. 

They were still talking and milling around the apartment getting used to it when there was a knock at the door. Layla was closest so she answered it and smiled at the man standing there. "Hi, I'm Doug Youngblood. Faith has asked me to be your guide and start off by taking you down to Ethel's for refreshments first. I'm going to guess you are Layla."

"Very good," the others weren't far away and he looked and then smiled and said, "That would make you Anita without a doubt...and you," he said as he stepped neared to her said, "You have to be Kali. You know, Faith painted you with very bright colors."

"What do you mean?"

"She sang your praises, words like bright eyed, very alert and very cute. Oh, and not one to be taken lightly. She was accurate, of course, and I'm very pleased to meet you."

"Thank you, Doug." 

Then turning he said, "Buck, nice to meet you, and you Mitch."

"Thanks. So did you know all of us from Faith's descriptions?"

"I did in fact. Just for the record, I'm a construction manager and staying at the motel, so I volunteered for this duty and must say I made a smart move. I'll stick close and see that you get a tour of the village, and the homes, and whatever else you'd care to see, or do." "I'll give you some time to change and then we'll head for Ethel's. Just come down when you're ready and I'll be waiting."

As soon as he was gone Kali asked, "Now how do you suppose Faith talked him into being our guide and servant?"

"I don't know," Anita said, "But I could stand to stare at him all day."


Chapter One Hundred Five


The women discussed it for all of about ten seconds before they changed into their village shorts and tops, without underwear, of course. Kali chose to hide in the bathroom to change, but as soon as she came out Buck's eyes went to her and he smiled. "Nice heels."

It was almost a demure smile that she shared with him as she said, "Thank you. I remember what you like."

"I can see. Well, I like you in your skirt better, but what the hell," and he pulled her to him and kissed her.

"Buck, now stop that." Buck didn't care who was watching or listening as he scooped her up in his arms and went over to the bed and sat down with her in his lap. "Damn it Buck Andrews, I'm not just some rag doll for you to throw around."

"Be quiet. Do you remember the last time we went through this little scenario? Do you remember where we ended up?"

"Of course we ended up in...you know where we ended up."

"We ended up in bed. Now just for the record, I don't intend to avoid you and pretend we've never even been here. I do intend to hold you on occasion and even kiss you every so often. And if you try to play hard ass, I'll smack that skinny ass of yours, okay? Everybody in this room knows I love you. I told you that and I told you I always would remember?"

"But damn it, Buck..."

"No damn it Buck about it. We're going to be living together for the next couple of days, and I have no intention hiding when I strip naked, and I won't turn away to avoid seeing you naked. In fact, I'll do everything I can to make that happen. Now is there any doubt about how I feel about you?"

"No."

"Then kiss me. Please, Kali?"

They did kiss then and her arms went around him and held him close. Then looking up at him she said loud enough for the others to hear, "Damn you, I am not skinny."

"Okay I'll retract that again, but I'll be checking you out all day just to make sure." 

Layla went over to them then and said, "Okay stud, give the poor woman some peace and let's go see the sights. Kali, you take one side and I'll take the other. Maybe that way he'll behave himself for a little while at least. 

As they went down the stairs Buck asked, "So after Ethel's, we're going to the boutiques to look at new things right? Mitch and I are very good at helping." Doug was standing in the alcove as he promised and off they went with Doug pointing out different things about the town. Layla held Buck's left hand and Kali was reaching for his right when he put his arm around her and pulled her close to him. The three most important people in his life and he had to figure out how he was going to handle himself. He did know that he very much wanted to make love to Kali one more time.

They made it to Ethel's new restaurant, and when Ethel saw them she joined them and said, "Welcome back, it's good to see all of you again."

Mitch was looking around and asked her, "Well, how do you like your new digs?"

"Very nice. I liked the old place better, but it is nice to have everything new."

"I agree, I liked the feel of the old place better."

"Since we knew you were coming, we've prepared a lunch for all of you, so just sit back and relax and have a drink, the usual, Doug?"

"The usual, Ethel."

"How's Darren," Buck asked.

"He's fine, and in fact he's here so I'll send him out." Buck smiled at Kali and her cheeks flushed as she remembered his long cock that she couldn't quite handle even though she did try and how damn excited she got that night.

Darren appeared a few minutes later and went straight to Buck and Kali. "Welcome back...especially you, Kali."

She smiled and said, "Thank you Darren, we're glad you could be here for this."

"Oh, I've sort of moved back with Ethel. We're going to see if we can grow up and make it work this time."

"Congratulations to both of you then."

He bent down and whispered in Kali's ear, "I won't soon forget our time together. It's just too bad we can't try that one more time."

She whispered back to him then, "You're just too much man for me, Darren."

"Nah, we just need to practice is all. I'll see you tonight and at the parade tomorrow," and he kissed her cheek and went back to the kitchen.

"Just so all of you will know, Faith took me into her confidence some time ago so I know a lot about the old town and the hopes for the new one. She also told me how all of you were so instrumental in discovering a very serious situation that could have been disastrous."

Buck just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just saving our own asses."

"Well, anyway, they tell me there's a fun show lined up for tonight and I for one can't wait to see it. Then after that, there will only be one show a week and that will be on Saturday nights. But for the celebration tomorrow, it will be the parade instead." They had their lunch and then Doug took all of them through the cluster of new homes behind the village square. "The old homes will stay of course, but for those that want to move into the new homes with the protective barrier around it, there will be choices for them. They don't expect all of the homes to be occupied right away, so that gives them some places to offer new tenants. This is all clothing optional, of course, right up to the gate just before the square. I've not been told, but I guess there are ongoing discussions about some other things, like nude night once or twice a month, where the village is included in the clothing optional zone. Just those stores along the old street are excluded for obvious reasons." On the tour went until they were once again at the square, and they stopped for refreshments at Hazel's ice cream shop. One by one, they placed their order and Mitch said, "Let me guess, Hazel, you're related to Blanche and Ethel." She smiled, and admitted she was. "Damn," Mitch said back at the table. "Faith owns everything and at least half of it is run by Ethel and her relatives."

Buck smiled and nodded and asked him, "You and Layla going to look at antiques while you're here? That is how all of this started after all."

Not this time. There's too much to see and experience to mess with old stuff."

"You mean like that nice looking woman in the bikini top?"

"A perfect example."

"Okay," Doug said, "That's it for the tour. The show is at seven and you know where that is now, so until then, you can go shopping or wander around, or whatever." Then he bent down and kissed Kali's cheek and told her, "It's very nice to meet you Kali, and if I don't see you at the show tonight, I'll abandon the place and come looking for you."

"You sound just like Buck. Okay, I'll be there."

As he walked away Anita said, "Damn Kali, he's hot for you."

"He was just trying to be funny."

"Well I'm sure that does explain why he kept checking you out and kissed your cheek just now. Besides he's pretty hot looking."


Chapter One Hundred Six


They left the ice cream shop and stood in the sun until Layla said, "Well I'm ready to go look at the new boutiques. We have two or three hours to kill at least." Mitch and Buck just smiled at each other and tagged along behind the three women. Mitch watched Kali's little ass bounce along and gave Buck the thumbs up sign, and Buck just rolled his eyes. How could such a fiery half pint woman have such power over him? All three women had their own quality and charm. Layla was, by an easy margin the best looking of the three. Anita had the best ass and legs that looked so damn good in those shorts, but then little Kali's ass was the petite version of a nearly perfect ass.

The group of seven filed into Alice's and a minute later Wendy appeared. "Hi sexy," Buck said.

"Buck, you sweetheart, I knew you'd be back. In fact, I'm still holding something for you and Kali, because Faith told me you two would be in again." Kali heard her name mentioned and joined him at the counter as Wendy returned with a small bag. "Two tops that you asked me to hold until the bras that you asked about came in." She pulled the tops out and then Kali remembered that day. That was when, while she was in her panties and trying on bras, he had drawn on her breast with his finger. She could still remember those sensations from that day. Buck looked at the bras and said, "Try this on, honey."

"I will not."

"Why not, I've seen you naked a lot remember?"

"But not Mitch or Gabe."

"That's okay, most of the town saw you from the Playhouse show that night."

"But Buck," she said half whining.

"Come on honey."

She whispered, "And don't call me honey."

"I don't think you believe me when I say I love you."

"But...damn it Buck, it took me months to get over losing you."

That one stopped him until he said, "Okay, I understand because it took me that long too. But can't we pretend or whatever just for a couple of days? Pretend that all is right again? I want so much for us to make love once more."

"Oh no, that would be a big mistake. There's no way that Anita wouldn't see how we feel."

"She already knows because I've told her and we've talked about it."

"That doesn't mean it wouldn't hurt her." Kali was so focused on them making love now, she stripped to the waist without another thought as the others watched. She slipped the bra on and Buck made a big show of checking the fit and the lines as his hands moved over her breasts and he talked to her softly. She was watching him and didn't care how the bra fit or if it did. She just liked feeling his hands on her again.

"That's a nice bra for you honey, now let's try the other one," and he unhooked it for her. She offered no resistance as he removed her bra and studied her as she tried on the other one. Once again his hands were all over her as he whispered how sexy she was and how much he wanted her. About half the time Kali's eyes were closed and she was biting her lower lip. That is until Anita, with Wendy's help, took some panties over for Kali to try on, for whatever reason, Anita was now a co conspirator for Buck. "Try these on too, Kali. I think they are so cute and sexy." Kali held the package in her hand and looked at Anita. 

"But...Anita..."

"Take you're time we're in no hurry." Buck was going to have to ask what the hell prompted her to bring panties into the picture. Mitch wasn't going anywhere, and when Wendy invited him and Gabe to have a seat and be comfortable, they did just that. They watched Kali strip her shorts off and then Buck helped her out of the bra and laid it aside. Kali was naked now and her eyes went to Mitch as he stared at her.

Buck admired her and then told her, "I'll bet Doug would do anything to see you right now."

"Why did you say that?" 

She was fumbling with the plastic wrap over the three pack of panties as Buck said, "I saw you check him out too you know."

"I did not."

"You did, but that's okay. I love Anita, but who am I with this trip? Layla, we've traded partners for the weekend."

"I thought something was kind of weird."

"Not weird, just fun and exciting. So Doug thinks you're so hot and sexy. I say the man has great taste in women."

"But damn it Buck, I love you." She didn't mean for Mitch or Gabe to hear that, but they did. 

"I know you do, but so what? I watched you making love to Darren, who by the way about hurt himself when he saw you. I know you'll still love me no matter what." He took the package from her and ripped it open and said, "You better put those on before poor Mitch cums all over the couch." She tried them on, which of course meant Buck had to buy them for her, but it was well worth it. "Yes, very sexy, and we'll take them," and he pulled them down and she stepped out of them. Then picking up her shorts he scooped her up in his arms and went over and deposited her in Mitch's lap. "Now you two kiss while I go pay for these things."

Kali watched Buck for a minute and then looked up at Mitch and blushed and smiled at the same time. "Mitch, why did he just do that?"

His hand went to her belly and he pulled her closer into him as he said, "Two reasons would be my guess," and he pulled her up and kissed her. "One, I'm sure is because he loves you, and that's his way of trying not to lose control or lose his mind, which by the way may be too late," and he kissed her again and she returned it after just a moment's hesitation.

"What's the other reason?"

"Well," and he kissed her again while his hand wandered down to her hip, "We are the best of friends and we do look out for each other. So when I told him that I thought you were so damn sexy and irresistible, he must have decided to do this for me." They kissed yet again as Anita and Layla watched as they pretended to shop.

"Won't Layla get mad that you have a naked woman in your lap?"

"No, because she's with Buck this weekend."

"Oh that's right. So maybe Anita will get mad at you."

"She can't because she's married to Buck."

"That's pretty confusing."

"But the bottom line is, I have my arm around your nakedness and we're sharing kisses, and I love every one of them."

Kali had given up on worrying about being naked by then. "You know you two are just too much alike."

"Does that mean you might love me too? Well, okay, maybe that's a little much, so we better settle for one more kiss and then I'll help you dress."

This time his arm went around her and he pulled her up until her arms were around him and they were sharing a deep and steamy kiss as his hand went down to her ass again. As he finally helped her up he said, "Oh damn Kali, no wonder Buck fell for you so hard. Damn now, I'm going to have a hard time behaving." He helped her into her shorts and then her top and heels and they rejoined the others as the women smiled at Kali.


Chapter One Hundred Seven


On they went to Casey's, but Anita stayed close to Mitch and whispered, "I see she got to you too."

"Damn that little thing does have something going for her."

"It would seem so. I could see your erection from half way across the store."

"Nita, I can see why she scares you. I don't know how you do it, but you never show that. You're showing Buck you trust him honey and that's awesome." 

Anita walked just a little slower than the others so they could talk without being heard. "Mitch, I really do love you so much."

"I love you too, Nita."

"I have a strong feeling...woman's intuition maybe, that once again things aren't as they seem, different this time, and yet very similar in some ways. I think Faith is up to something, so I'm steeling myself for about anything."

"Can you be a little more specific?"

"I think Faith has something lined up for us, and for Buck in particular. Why she would do that, I don't know, but that's how I feel. She probably means well, like maybe it's some kind of reward for us. It will be interesting to see how this weekend turns out. 

"Do you see trouble brewing between you and Buck?"

"I don't think so, but that will depend on how he is after this weekend and what he says. It isn't like he's going to be to blame for anything, but...well, we'll see I guess. I don't even care if he and Kali make love. In fact, that might be a good thing because there's still something brewing between them that needs to come to a head, one way or another. Just maybe she and Doug will find a spark between them and none of that will matter."

"I could see that happening."

"What makes it more frustrating, is I really like Kali."

"It's hard for me not to like her too, especially since I've had her naked in my arms."

"You just be careful lover. If I lost you to her I'd wring her petite little neck even though I do like her." 

Shopping at Casey's was much more subdued and before long the group headed back to the apartment to rest before dinner and the show. They were almost there when Doug appeared and talked to Kali for a minute and then excusing herself she and Doug left them. Anita and Mitch quietly high fived each other as they went up the stairs.

Gabe and Carly had been uncharacteristically quiet through most of their time together, but once back in the apartment, they had questions about their friend Kali. Nothing to personal or probing, but it was easy to see they couldn't quite figure out what was happening. 

As soon as they were settled, Layla took Buck to their bed to talk. With them lying there facing each other she whispered, "I've never seen you as assertive as you were with Kali, is that something new?"

"I don't know, maybe. Well, not between her and me I guess. Our relationship was like that. She would push me until I'd get testy, or I'd do the same to her. She'd complain bitterly about me being pushy, but she'd always respond to that. As you've seen I'm sure, she can be pretty intense."

"Oh yes, and very manly of you and sexy to watch, but don't be that way with me, okay?"

"I know better than that, honey."

The so called rest didn't last long, so they took off for Ethel's for a drink and dinner. As they walked Anita slipped back and asked Buck, "Doing okay, lover?"

Layla stayed by Buck's side as he answered, "Doing great."




It's All About Faith Pt. 06



"I told Mitch that intuition tells me that this will be a weekend to remember. Faith has something planned for us and the longer we go without seeing her, the more sure I am."

"Care to elaborate?"

"God, you and Mitch are so much alike. I don't know...I guess I can't nail it down. I'm sure she means well, so maybe I'm just nuts," and she rejoined Mitch as he talked to Carly and Gabe.

Dinner was a little subdued, most likely because they were all a little apprehensive about what would happen at the show. Evidence of a lot of planning seemed to be everywhere. Even the drink coasters at Ethel's were printed with references to Discovery and their new beginning, and balloons were being pushed around by the ceiling fans waving from their strings. 

Mitch was teasing and flirting with Carly a little and she was teasing him by lifting her skirt and flashing him. Anita and Layla seemed in good spirits, but held back just a little. Kali didn't appear until they were almost done eating and to the surprise of nobody, she and Doug were attached at the hip. Buck was both happy for her, but at the same time sad for himself. He really did want to be with her just one more time at least.

As they made their way back toward the apartment to freshen up before the show, Anita coaxed Carly away from the group just far enough to ask her, "What's wrong with Gabe, he's not himself."

"We got into it Thursday night, but I thought we were past that. I guess I was wrong."

"Then why did he agree to come along?"

"While we were arguing, I told him I was coming with him or without him. I probably wouldn't have, but I guess he believed that. I almost wish he would have stayed home."

"You going to be okay?"

"I'm fine, he's the one that can't seem to put things to rest."

"Jealousy issues?"

"Nothing like that, well, maybe some, but not because of this place, Anita, I intend to have a great time. They really are trying to show us how much they appreciate our efforts to save them, so why not be a part of that?"

"Well, if there's anything that Mitch or I can do, just let us know."

"Thanks. So what's with the switch, permanent or just an experiment?"

"Not permanent, but...yes, I guess experiment would be the right word."

"Do you really love Mitch that much?"

"I really do. I've even thought the four of us should just live together as one family. Wouldn't that just be too wild?"

"My God that would be something."

"How will Gabe be when something happens where you end up with another guy?"

"I guess we'll find out."

"Don't be surprised if one of those guys ends up being Mitch or Buck."

"I hope it is. I better go back to grumpy, we'll talk later in the ladies room or something."


Chapter One Hundred Eight


They only had an hour and a half before they had to be at the Playhouse, so the four women took turns at showers and came out naked to get ready while the guys looked on. Carly seemed to time it so she would have the guy's undivided attention. Then Mitch watched and waited until Kali went in and waited for just a couple of minutes. Then he stripped his clothes off and walked in on her. "Oh, hi, don't mind me I'm just taking a quick shower." She was sitting on the commode and stared at him standing there with his hard cock pointing at her.

"Oh I don't mind at all, I was just going to shower but don't mind me." Then she grabbed his cock and pulled herself up by it as Mitch yelped and she ignored his discomfort. "I assumed that handle was for me to use so I did and thanks, it made it easier to get off the stool."

"You almost pulled it off."

"Oh, I wasn't even close to that. Let me show you how it would be if I really pulled it."

"Hell no," and he stepped back from her reach. Anita came to see what was going on and she found Mitch holding his own cock and Kali standing there with her hands on her hips. Buck joined them to investigate the commotion and that sight had him laughing.

"Go ahead and laugh, Buck," Mitch said, "She almost pulled my stem off."

"Kali, did you hurt Mitch?"

"I was just getting started because he was cutting the line to the shower."

"Well, I have the cure for that. Mitch, get the water running and get in. Then I'll show you the solution to the problem."

Kali looked at him and said, "Well hell, why doesn't everybody come in and watch me shower."

"Carly, Kali wants you to join us. Gabe's out so he can't be here."

"Damn it Buck...," and once again he picked her up and put her in the shower with Mitch and then he got in with them. "Buck, are you crazy? Never mind I already know you are." 

"Now it works like this," and he rubbed soap all over his body as Mitch stood there, and the women watched them through the open shower door. Then aiming the water away so it wouldn't wash the soap off, he pulled Kali up against him and said, "See, now both of us are bathing at the same time and Mitch will take care of your backside." He no more than said that when she felt Mitch press his soapy body against her back and his cock bumped between her ass cheeks as Buck's cock pushed and teased her between the legs. His voice was much softer as he looked at her with her wet hair glued to her head and said, "See honey, now we'll all be clean in much less time."

Her arms were around him and her voice almost failed her as she said, "Damn you, Buck..." But that's as far as she got because he kissed her and his hands went all over her breasts and between her legs. Mitch saw to her back and ass and his hand would encounter Buck's between her legs. The three women were getting aroused just from watching them and Kali was lost in a sea of warm slippery bodies and hands. She managed to hold onto Buck and whisper to him that she loved him, but after that all she was aware of was what they were doing to her. They had to rinse the soap off and all but forgot to shut the water off as they got out. Mitch was the one to scoop her up in his arms and the threesome went to the first bed, which just happened to be Layla and Buck's bed. With Kali now on her back they took turns kissing her and were all over her with their hands until Mitch mounted her and she and Buck kissed and whispered. Mitch didn't want to stop, but he needed to save himself for what might lie ahead for him so Buck took over. As Mitch kissed her and flooded her with flattering erotic words, she was overtaken with an orgasm, but Buck kept going until he misjudged, and gave her his liquid love.

The women were standing close to the bed watching and Carly was in the middle with her arms around Layla and Anita. They watched the men lave Kali with their bodies and then see to her needs and desires. Mitch was on his side with his left hand on her belly and Buck was on her other side with his hand just above Mitch's. Kali lay there with Buck's offering slipping down her leg to the bedding as she looked first at Mitch and then at Buck as she said, "I still love you, Buck."

"I still love you too, Kali."

Then she looked at Mitch and said, "And damn you. I'm trying to get on with my life knowing I can't have Buck and now you come along. You two are so much alike it scares me. That means that if I don't stay away from you, I'll end up loving both of you and that just won't work. I think both of you just like to torment me."

Mitch smiled and told her, "Well damn you back, because you torment us all the time." "I do not. I've done nothing to tease either of you or aggravate either of you."

"But you have. You don't have to do anything more than be with us and look so damn sexy."

"I do not, you two are just horny."

"Well even if we weren't, we would be after being around you for awhile."

She sat up and then leaned over and kissed Buck and then Mitch and said, "I'm innocent and I have to get ready to go. For some reason I need to freshen up again."

"Need help?"

"Mitch, you just stay away from me okay," and she crawled over him and ran to the bathroom.


Chapter One Hundred Nine


Doug appeared while Kali was in the bathroom and Mitch said, "She's taking forever to get ready."

"Some women are like that I guess." All three women pushed Mitch onto the bed and Layla said, "He's full of it, he and Buck were harassing her and that's the reason she's taking longer."

"Hey, it wasn't our fault that she was naked."

"It's probably the best thing that will happen to you this weekend though."

"Okay," Doug said, "I just talked to Faith and the front row center is reserved for all of us...hey where's Gabe?"

"He'll be there," Carly said, "Or at least I think he will be." Doug was smart enough to not ask questions. 

When Kali came out and saw Doug she smiled and sharing a quick smile with the two men who had just had their way with her told him, "I had a minor problem and that's why I'm running late."

With Doug and Kali leading the way, they went to the east end of town to the new Playhouse and went right in. Doug was playing the role of the guide again and pointing around said, "Seating capacity is slightly larger than the old place, and as you can see, there is an actual stage now that's raised up about a foot with the front curved toward the seating area and the seating is curved to give everybody the best possible view of the show. Above our heads are three cameras that are linked to the three monitors above the stage. They can be controlled remotely, or set and left alone, of course."

Mitch was looking around and asked, "Has everybody else been in here?"

"Nope, the evening show will be the grand unveiling."

"They're going to be blown away."

"Without a doubt," he led them to the front and showed them the row of ten chairs and said, "That's all for us tonight."

"How did you manage to get a seat up here?"

"Because I have my arm around one of the chosen few."

"But how could they know that would be the case?"

"I have connections." It was then that Gabe appeared and went to Carly without saying anything and she more or less ignored him.

Faith came out through a doorway at the end of the stage and down the step to join them. One by one she kissed and spoke to each of them and spent an extra moment with each of the men. "I'm so glad that all of you could make it this weekend. The doors will open in a couple of minutes and this place will be filled to the rafters with residents eager to see the new Playhouse and the first show in this new setting. I must say tonight will be like no other, so everybody just relax and have a wonderful time. She looked at the short skirts the women were wearing and smiled as she said, "I can see you have every intention of having a good time. Now Buck, if you would take the seat to your left but leave the end one open. Then...Layla are you with Buck now?"

"I am."

"Very interesting, I wish I had time to talk to you four. Okay, you next to Buck and then Mitch and Anita, Gabe and then Carly." She waited until they were seated and seemed pretty pleased with herself. "Yes, that's perfect. You are now centered to the stage. Okay I have things to see to, but I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can. We're going to have a lot of fun and they are promising a very sunny and quite warm weekend. Saturday is going to be a great time." 

Then she turned to go back the way she had entered and Carly caught up with her and said something. They slowly continued to walk and whisper back and forth for a second and Faith smiled, kissed her cheek and Carly rejoined her group. "What was that about," Gabe asked. 

"I just wanted to add my personal thanks for everything because I might not get the chance tomorrow." Then she whispered something to him and he whispered back and they all sat down just as Faith had arranged. Layla leaned close to Buck and whispered, "I think Carly and Gabe are going to be a casualty of this weekend."

"Yeah, I wonder what the hell is going on?"

"Who knows," then the tall velvet looking curtains closed across the stage following the curve, the stage lights clicked on and the doors at the rear opened. Just as Faith had said, every seat was soon filled except for the ones next to Buck and next to Gabe. Everybody was talking at once as their heads swiveled around checking out their new and fantastic Playhouse. Fingers pointed at the three large screen monitors and at the beautiful maple wood stage that just extended beyond the curtains. Then Peggy stepped through the heavy curtains wearing a hot pink cowboy hat, an open bra so her breasts were on full display, and a hot pink thing, that was a cross between a thong and a skirt. Everybody clapped as she appeared and she did a slow turn to show that her whole ass was on display.

"You're hot," somebody called from the audience, and Peggy said, "Thank you whoever you are. Meet me outside after the show and be naked because I'll be in a hurry." Peggy was doing what she loved and the people loved her. "Hi everybody, how do you like our new digs?" The room exploded with applause and whistles and Peggy just let them go until they settled down again. "Okay, now we have a lot to share with you tonight so let's get started. Our very first order of business is somebody has a few words they want to say."

Faith slipped through the stage curtains and everybody stood up and applauded their friend, and as she walked toward the front of the stage the applause died down and Peggy told them, "This lady is our leader, our friend, and supporter. She's our benefactor and our savior. Thank you Faith from all of Discovery."

Again the wave of loud applause and Faith ate it up, but then motioned for them to stop feigning modesty and embarrassment. As they settled down again Faith said, "Thank you, all of you. Without your help and patience through this last year none of this would be possible. We've had to endure mud and dust and watched our stores that we grew to love be erased by heavy machinery. We all had to accept some things that we really didn't want to because of building codes or privacy issues just to name a couple of things. But now we really do have a town square to stroll around." More applause and she waited a few seconds. "Okay these are things we can talk about over the coming months and years, but right now, tonight we have a lot of things to share with you so we need to get moving, first things first however." She looked at all of them in the center front row and said, "All of you come up here for a minute please." After a moment's hesitation they rose as one and stepped up onto the stage and lined up on each side of Faith. Her microphone was clipped to her low cut top and her right arm went around Buck and her left around Anita as she said, "Everybody, most of you know these people, but just to be sure let me introduce them," and she said each name. Then she dramatically looked around the audience and said, "This group, on their own and without any help from anybody else saw that our village was at risk of self destructing. We were destroying ourselves from within and didn't even know it. They came to us with that information without even knowing Max and I were the ones that could do something about it. This group of eight risked jobs, careers, marriages, and heartbreak and for what: To fix the problem without harming any of the residents. That was their worry. They put our village and all of you ahead of their own fears and dangers." Faith was laying it on thick and a couple of times Buck or Mitch or one of the women would have to hold their breath to keep from giggling or at least smiling. Let Faith have her moment because she was in the spotlight. She was talking about her eight friends, but it was she that was doing the talking and the bright lights were on. The octet would leave, but she would be there to bask in the glory for a long time to come.

Once the applause died down again, eight good looking women, that Faith had found from some unknown place, filed out in skimpy outfits not unlike Peggy's, but in a rainbow of colors and presented a gift to each of the octet. "This is just a small token of our appreciation for what all of you did. And maybe between tonight's show and tomorrows festivities, we will have the chance to treat you to more little presents or surprises. Thank you from me and from our village. She stepped back from them and with a flourishing wave disappeared through the curtain as clapping and cheers filled the room.


Chapter One Hundred Ten


All of them waved to the audience to thank them and returned to their seat and put their gifts by their feet. "Okay," Peggy said, "On with the show. The eight hot looking women you just saw will be back I'm happy to say. You see, we're starting off with a style show. Now relax guys, you can suffer through this one I'm sure. Winthrop fashions and of course our very own Wendy and Mae's boutiques, has come up with a new line of very nice things to wear around the square or in the bedroom or...well wherever you have the nerve to wear them and not be arrested. Ladies," and the curtains pulled back to show them standing there very professionally with one foot in front of the other a hand on a hip and a smile on their faces. "This set is called club wear because they were designed to be worn at some of the big city in places that cater to the sexy and daring. As you can see, they don't hide a lot and in some cases how you wear it determines how much you show. Turn around ladies," and they did a slow turn to show almost no backs and very little to hide their butts. "Okay, thank you ladies. Now they will do a quick change and be back to show you some new street wear. Again that's assuming you have the nerve to wear them.

Everybody watched them file off and disappear and Peggy said, "Now while they're changing we have something else to show you. This next one is a joint venture between Wendy, Mae and Jim and Delia. Does that give you an idea where this is going. Come out boys." It was the women's turn to stare and clap. Like the women, the men were from outside of the village and appeared in various styles of underwear from the minimal G string, to mesh underwear to novelty briefs and boxers, all nicely demonstrated by the men with obvious half erections. Layla and Anita, as well as Kali and Carly, were sitting there in their little skirts and no panties and the guys were getting good peeks between their legs which helped to display the underwear to its best advantage.

"Pretty hunky guys," Layla whispered to Buck, "probably workers that Faith enlisted." Buck looked into her eyes, and his hand that was on her thigh, moved up to expose her to the men on stage. "Buck, what are you doing?" She protested, but her hands didn't try to stop him. Mitch caught the commotion to his left and promptly did the same with Anita and she froze and kept her knees together like Layla. 

"Oh honey," Buck said, "Give the guys a thrill and see if they'll get hard for you."

"But Buck..." He didn't say anything but he moved his hand a little more and whispered, "Relax your legs now. Show them one of the many reasons I love you so much."

"Oh my God, I feel so naked."

"Want to take your top off too?"

"Absolutely not," her skirt was now up and Anita's followed and then Kali's. Carly didn't wait for Gabe and just lifted her skirt and spread her legs to show them her shaved pussy as Gabe sat there and watched silently. The men on stage watched as the women exposed themselves and in moments their cocks were hard. The men strutted their stuff and the women applauded loudly as they left the stage.

Peggy was back and she said, "Now can you imagine going into Jim and Delia's and watch some hunk try on some of those goodies? Long over due is what I say, right ladies?" Again they clapped and then she went on. "Okay now, the ladies are back with more fashions. Boys, see if these fashions give you the urge to buy things for your wife while you gawk at the women trying them on." The women paraded out and Anita said for all to hear, "My God and I thought my shorts were small."




It's All About Faith Pt. 07



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter One Hundred Thirteen


The three guys talked over breakfast and coffee at Ma's Kitchen, and the four women were several tables away deep in conversation barely taking time to eat. Doug finally went over and told the women they were going back to a bench on the town square and they'd wait for them there. At least that way they could watch the people as the town slowly came to life again. On the way, some guy stopped them and thanked them for saving Discovery, shook their hands and went on his way. "Faith kind of over sold us last night don't you think," Buck asked.

"Just a little," Mitch said and they laughed at the whole idea. "I think Faith is using us for some kind of gain. I've yet to figure it out, but there's a reason she gave us those very expensive laptops last night and there's a reason for all of the hoopla. Who the hell knows what she has planned for this afternoon too." They reached the bench, sat down and leaned back with their legs crossed at the ankles hoping to see more women in the new fashions they had seen at the Playhouse.

"So how much of what Faith said last night was true," Doug asked.

Mitch followed a woman with his eyes and said, "Oh what she said was true in many respects. We did work it out and did the research and so forth. And Buck and Kali damn near got in over their heads and all of that. So yes, I guess we did take a few serious risks, but we had our own agenda too, as well as protecting the village."

"Kali told me a little about things but she wouldn't go into detail about motives and so forth."

"Faith loves this town and she loves sex, but somewhere in there, she has to also be a hard assed business woman to keep things going. She had Max to turn to before, but now it's all on her shoulders along with her other responsibilities. It isn't hard to see she spent many millions of dollars for her new town. I think it's great, but I also think a lot of it was a mistake, an over reaction to a situation. That said, Max was all set to do much the same and he was a very successful business man."

"From what I've been told he was wealthy and successful, but his failing was he couldn't seem to do enough for Faith. Everything was all about pleasing Faith."

"And all that got him was a six foot piece of real estate in the cemetery."

The women finally appeared and they all went shopping. The new fashions seemed to be a big hit and both boutiques were staying busy. While the women looked and selected, the men watched different women try things on oblivious to three gawking men. Anita went to check on the men and they told her, "We're just standing here rating the different women and their selections."

She looked between their legs said, "Well it looks to me, like you're able to cast your votes without needing any other part of your anatomy," and she went back to shopping. They were done by lunch time, so they took their purchases back to the apartment and went to Ma's Kitchen again. Then it was back to the apartment to rest and refresh before the peak of the celebration, the festivities that were supposed to start at two o'clock.

They all stripped down and Mitch went over to Carly and put his arm around her. "Come rest with Nita and me."

"Thank you Mitch, but you don't have to hold my hand."

"Honey, it wasn't your hand that I was thinking about. Now come make me happy please? Just rest with us okay?"

She smiled and went back to Anita and crawled into bed on Mitch's other side. He was on his back with his cock aimed at the ceiling and Carly was on her side with her head on his arm. Anita was the same on the other side so the women were looking at each other over Mitch's chest. "Mitch," Buck called out, "How the hell do you rate?" 

"What can I say, they love me. Besides my wife is naked and almost on top of you."

"Just as it should be, Nita and Carly now don't wear him out. Can you imagine if the music was to start on the square and his man between his legs was unable to dance for some lucky lady?"

Mitch looked at Anita and said, "I do like what you're doing with your hand."

"Honey, I'm not doing anything but lying here."

"Oh." Then turning to Carly he said, "Pretty hard to match what you enjoyed last night."

"That was quite an experience, but I like what's in my hand just fine. I'll just go down and kiss him and leave you alone." She didn't just kiss him she took him down her throat for a minute before moving back up to him. "I think he'll do you proud today."

"One more kiss like that and I won't be able to walk let alone go play."

"Thanks, Carly," Anita said, "Now he's not going to stop talking about that." Other than a few whispers not a sound was heard from Kali and Doug.

It was nearly one when they got up and Buck told Kali, "Love, Mitch and I are volunteering to help you with your shower again."

"No. Damn it, if you two start that again the festivities will be over before we get there and I'll be too worn out to care."

Layla pulled Buck around and said, "Speaking of that, if you and Mitch want to live through the summer Nita and I better experience that that little trick too."

Doug was getting into their game now. "Honey, it's okay if you want to play with Mitch and Buck. Of course, that will mean that I'd have to see that Layla and Anita aren't neglected."

"Very cute honey, but I'll pass on the shower help this time." Then with showers taken the women dressed in fresh new tiny garments and they went to join the celebration.

One Hundred Fourteen

There were more people milling around the square than they thought possible. It must have been every farmer and wife within fifty miles and every seasonal or part time resident that showed up for the excitement. Peggy was seen flitting about and she finally caught up with them and said, "There are our heroes. Okay, we need all of you...where's Gabe?"

"He had to go home early," Carly explained.

"Oh that's too bad. Well let me see now because that changes things a little. No matter I'll figure something out. At two thirty, all of you go through the small pedestrian gate next to the vehicle gate to Discovery Drive and someone will be there to fill you in on what we need you to do." The group didn't even know it until right then, but Discovery Drive was the street that went through the middle of the new homes. "But in just a few minutes a stand will be wheeled out In front of Bella's Gifts and Faith will be kicking things off. Have fun," and off she went.

They moved closer to Bella's Gifts and watched while a wood platform on casters was rolled out and uncovered. Then Faith appeared full of bounding energy and she jumped onto the platform and was handed a microphone. Faith talked and gestured and sang the praises of the heroes once again. Then she said, "To start things off, everybody pick one of the balloons that have been tied all over the village. Just break the string but hang on tightly to the string." It was something, to watch adults scramble to grab the first balloon their eyes fell on. As the last few people collected their balloon Faith said, "Okay now. Inside of each balloon is a piece of paper. That paper might say fifty dollars of groceries at Dwayne's Market. Another might be for one of the boutiques for a little shopping fun, or to Jim and Delia's for other shopping fun. Some will have pictures of your prize. Okay now let's break balloons and see what each of you found." There was a chaotic staccato of loud pops and squeaks as people tried to break them with their fingers. 

It was almost a continual hum of voices as they found out what their prize would be and a few could be heard exclaiming they got a flat screen TV or a computer. But then Faith asked, "Which one of you got a paper with just a picture of an old key on it?" Heads swiveled and eyes searched until soft spoken Roberta held up her hand. "Roberta, that's great. Okay now there is one catch to claim your prize. Because it's the grand prize you have to strip naked and stay that way for the rest of the day."

"Right now?"

Faith laughed and said, "Yes, right now hon, strip and then come up here." This was even harder for her than the show because they were out in bright sunlight and there were hundreds of people staring at her. But she was determined to do it and see what the grand prize would be. Roberta was a study of contrasts, great body, but mediocre looks at best. Shy to the point of being silly, but then would allow guys to strip her and please her with their hands. She stood there in light slacks and a cotton top, in a sea of women more naked than dressed, but she was now stripping naked and would be the only naked person in town. She was an enigma to say the least.

With hundreds of eyes on her nakedness, she made her way up to Faith and stood next to her. "Congratulations, Roberta," and Faith kissed her warmly which further embarrassed Roberta and Faith knew it. "Do you have any idea what your prize might be?"

"None at all."

"Well the picture of the key perfectly matches the key to the front door of your new home." Roberta's knees gave out and Faith had to catch her. Roberta was pale now rather than blush red and she stared as Faith said, "That's right, you will live in one of the new two bedroom townhouses, fully furnished and decorated by the way." Roberta no longer cared that she was naked. In fact, she had forgotten that fact completely.

"Damn she does have a body," Buck said, and Mitch just nodded and smiled in agreement. Faith talked some more and passed out more gift bags and guys were around Roberta like bees on honey.

Buck pointed at his watch so they eased back through the little crowd and on through the pedestrian gate and over the clothing optional line into the residential area. The main traffic gate had been covered and behind that shield was a large wagon, probably from one of the farms, draped and decorated with bright red fringe like a small float. A section in the center was raised a couple of feet higher and there were round wood poles sticking up, one near the center on the elevated section and then one near each corner and one on each side, seven poles for people to hang onto while the wagon was moving. The only thing different about the float was a stack of thin pads in carnival colors on the left side. And there was Peggy waiting to receive us, "right on time, wonderful. The others should be here any minute. As soon as they are here I'll explain our grand finale for the day." Wendy appeared first and kissed the guys and then Darren, Chase and then Bill. Consulting her clipboard Peggy said, "Okay now, here's what will happen. Anita, you and Darren will take the far rear corner. Wendy and Mitch, you take the right rear corner. Layla and Chase, you take the right front corner, Carly and Bill the left front corner." She consulted her sheet again and said, "Kali and Doug the right center place." There was a short ladder there so they could get up onto the float and pointing to it she said, "Okay up on the float and to your position if you would. Buck, you'll be the center person. Then as soon as they were in position Peggy smiled and said, "Yes, perfect except for one thing. All of you undress now and just toss your clothes down and we'll collect them for you." All of them looked at her as they tried to decide if they had heard her correctly, but she just smiled back at them. "Ladies, I trust you'll all do a good job at keeping your man at the ready so to speak. Feel free to touch and kiss and caress as the float goes around the square. And Buck honey, you won't have to be up there alone because Faith will be here any minute to share the ride with you. Two times around the square at a gentle walking pace, once around to wave and smile as you tease each other and the people watch. Then the second time around while you fuck like rabbits and everybody watches and cheers you on, any questions?" There were no questions and they undressed. Not surprisingly, Anita's eyes went to Darren's cock just as Layla's eye were surveying Chase's weapon. Part of her couldn't wait to explore it and feel it inside of her, and part of her was dreading being on display while she tried to accommodate that much cock. Kali and Doug were eager to play, and Mitch could hardly wait to see what Wendy would be like and he was hot to touch her perfect breasts.


Chapter One Hundred Fifteen


Faith was a couple of minutes late, but she was already naked so she went up the ladder and joined Buck, right where she liked to be, the center of attention and just a little higher than the others. There was no fanfare, no trumpets, music or words. The large draped gates opened and the small garden tractor pulled them out into the crowds. Then it was Peggy on the microphone and as the float made slow progress to the right Peggy began her banter about who was on the float and why, and everybody applauded as they went around.

Layla started out wanting nothing more than to be with Buck instead of Chase, but by the end of the loop he was hard and her hands were teasing him as his hands toyed with her breasts. It was the same with Anita. She had her hands all over Darren's prize specimen of manhood and they were sharing caresses and light kisses. Mitch didn't waste a lot of time with Wendy and they were soon kissing and he was exploring those perfect globes as he held on to the wood pole for balance. Carly and Bill had given up standing and hanging onto the wood support and were almost lying down and ready to screw. Buck was slightly leaning back against the wood support and had Faith pulled back against him. His cock was teasing her ass and one hand was on her breasts while the other one teased her between the legs. Faith was dramatically leaning back looking like she was in a swoon, just marking time until they could screw on the platform while her friends and admirers looked on and applauded. Everything was going according to her plan but she still had things to do, things to oversee. 

They were almost back to where they started the loop when first Faith and Buck lay down and went to work on each other with Faith taking him in her mouth and sucking him for a minute before he lay back and she mounted him. Nothing elaborate or unique, but they only had until the end of the next loop. While the screwing was beginning, two guys were tossing the carnival colored mats off of the floats onto the grass of the square every twenty feet or so.

Layla now had Chase's cock in her and her legs were spread wide for him just as Anita was doing for Darren. As the float made its slow trip, everybody around the square had a good view of the debauchery. Kali was flying high with Doug pounding her hard as the towns people looked on and Mitch couldn't have been happier right then as he saw to Wendy's needs and she responded to his ministrations.

But for Layla and Anita, this had to be the most mind bending experience they had ever had. To be on total display like living works of art, or probably more accurately moving trophies for Faith. Either way, they each had the longest cock in them that they would ever experience. Women can only feel a cock in their pussies a short distance, but the real fact was they knew the cock was long and in their minds that did make a difference right then. They just wanted to climax and try for a second orgasm as their studs rammed them unmercifully. But their second orgasms weren't to be because the float came to a stop at the end of the second trip around and a few seconds later Buck and Faith got to their feet. The cheering began and the other couples got up one at a time. It was over all too soon for them, but it had been a wild ride while it lasted.

Faith had her arms around Buck like she was whispering sweet words to him but in reality she had taken care of that and now told him, "All of you go freshen up and I'll come up shortly to talk to all of you. I'll have something to ask all of you regarding some more entertainment then, but don't get dressed. I want to stop and make one more announcement to the town and then I'll freshen up and be over."

"I'll gather the troops. Oh and Faith...thanks for one hell of a float ride."

She smiled and kissed him before telling him, "We do make good music together." She made her way down and then jumped to the ground making her breasts bounce on her chest and then headed toward the stand and the microphone.

Once they had dismounted the float it made the turn and disappeared behind the gates, and Buck told the rest of the group what Faith had said. They were quite ready to freshen up and rest a little so they made their way toward the apartment. They were almost to the alcove when they heard Faith's voice again as she talked to everybody. "I have one more announcement to add to the celebration. The mats that are scattered around the square are for exactly what most of you are surely thinking. Make love to someone new. Change partners and go again. And one more thing, starting now and until dark tomorrow, clothes are optional all over town as well as the residential area. So get naked, make love to strangers or friends and have a few adult beverages. This is a celebration that can never be duplicated so enjoy it, get some sleep and then go at it again tomorrow and I'll see you back here then." She waved and the whole town cheered even as they were stripping out of what few clothes they were wearing. It was unlikely half of them would ever even see those clothes again because they would forget where they left them.

The seven of them went to the apartment and rotated through the showers before dropping onto the beds and took turns talking about what had just happened. Layla was on her back with her head resting on Buck's arm and he was on his side looking over her and toward the others. "Nita, how was it to have Darren seeing to your needs?"

"I'm not sure I can put that into words right now. Good of course, but he had to be careful because of his length. Layla, how was it for you?"

"Much the same, I was getting off on the idea of what was happening and knowing everybody was watching us. I even felt a few hands reach out and touch us as we passed. Okay, stud Buck, how was it to have the best seat in the house and be with the queen bee?"

"About the same as the last time, to tell the truth, I would have much rather have been with one of you three."

"Oh honey, that just won you some points, Kali, any comments?"

"I'm glad I was with my stud, so no complaints here. I liked being paraded around the square like that too by the way, just way too hot and fun. What do you think Faith is up to now?"

Buck said, "I for one have no idea at all, but whatever it is involves us and not the rest of the town."

It was only a few minutes later when Faith knocked on their door and stuck her head in. "Is everybody indecent I hope?" All of them got up and went out to greet her and found her still naked. "Okay, so have all of you enjoyed yourselves so far?" All of them nodded and added their glowing comments and she smiled full of self satisfaction. "I'm glad you're having fun. Oh and thank you all for playing along with the float idea. I'm sure we all enjoyed ourselves and I know that everybody there just loved all of that and will talk about it for some time to come. If we were to go down there right now we'd see all of them naked and maybe even screwing in the town square. I hope they are anyway. As you probably heard, I've made the rest of the weekend clothes optional which breaks one of the main town rules. They will be shopping and eating and drinking all while naked, and I can't wait to see for myself and get feedback about it later." She shifted her position slightly as all of them watched her and then went on. 

"Okay now, to why I'm here now. Right about now a small group of people are gathering at my house: Friends and friends of friends that I've invited out to enjoy a mild evening, good food and drink and maybe a dip in the pool; whatever anybody feels like actually. In fact, I hope none of you will get dressed until you leave tomorrow afternoon. I am hoping you will stay at least that long because I have more fun plans coming up. A little about my group of friends, they are our age more or less. I think the oldest one is a guy about forty two. They are all laid back people that enjoy a good time."




It's All About Faith Pt. 07



"So we'd drive out there naked," Mitch asked.

"Sure, it's only about a ten minute drive from here."

"When were you thinking?"

"Well why don't you get a light bite at Ethel's because there will only be finger food there. But don't overdo and end up feeling sluggish though. Then about five thirty come out and join us. We'll sit around the pool and talk and drink and laugh. If I know a couple of them, we'll end up seeing them entertaining us."

"Okay," Layla said, "Look for us about then."

"Wonderful, I'm just sure all of you will have a good time. See you there," and off she went, once again pleased she was getting her way. The seven of them didn't even know enough information to create much conversation about Faith's gathering. 

Mitch looked at his watch and said, "Well, we might as well go to Ethel's and have a before dinner drink."

"I can't get it into my head that we're just going to wander town and go to dinner naked. Then we'll get into the car and drive someplace, still naked, and then join in some kind of casual cocktail party or whatever...and naked of course, just unreal."

Buck stepped toward the door and said, "I'm eager to see what it's like to see a whole town naked."


Chapter One Hundred Sixteen


As soon as they were in the alcove between the stores they stopped and stared. Buck finally said, "Holy shit. Drink some Chianti and season all of this with oregano and it's a fucking Roman orgy."

Layla was staring without blinking and told him, "Honey, don't use the F word," and then without thinking she added, "God, look at that, people are fucking all over the square." All seven of them laughed at her and it was then that she realized what she had just said. "Well, they are." They joined the others and strolled down the street pausing every so often to watch a couple in some stage of lovemaking. People they had never seen before and others they recognized, all claiming a brightly colored pad to fuck on. One couple, apparently finished with their temporary mate calmly enlisted new partners and ended up just rolling on the grass as they continued their pursuit of sexual satisfaction. Those that weren't screwing were engaged in other activities like kissing or fondling or joining in the impromptu parade around the square to watch their friends, spouses and strangers as they looked for that last ultimate climax, that nirvana of sin.

"Damn," Mitch said, "it's hard look at all of this and not join in."

Doug was next to him and said, "But if we got started we'd never make it to Faith's for whatever she has lined up."

"We better get down to Ethel's then and have something potent and then eat." They changed direction but it was nearly impossible for them to turn their backs to the action because it seemed to be everywhere.

They made it to the restaurant and went in as a naked guy was leaving. He stopped and pulled Kali close and kissed her hard and then said, "Thanks for helping to save our village," and out he went with cock half hard and swinging back and forth.

"Who was that," Kali asked, but nobody had an answer for her. As soon as they were seated a woman they didn't recognize went to their table and standing next to Mitch asked, "What can I get for you?" Mitch's eyes went straight to her pussy that was less than two feet from his face. In fact, everybody seemed speechless for a second. It seemed other worldly to all of them that what they were experiencing was real. 

"I'll have a double scotch and water," Anita said. That broke the silence and one by one the others ordered their drinks, all potent ones.

"I take it Ethel is out celebrating?"

"Yes. There are four of us and we're taking turns so we can all have some fun. Damn, what a celebration this is and partly to honor all of you." Then she smiled at Mitch and added, "Wish I had time to thank all of you personally," and then she left to see to their drink orders.

Buck leaned back and said, "I can't even think of words to use about all of this. Look around in here. Not very many people, of course, but those that are here are all naked and playing with each other."

Layla reached between his legs and told him, "Well it would seem you approve."

"Absolutely."

Then Anita asked, "Do you suppose big Dan is out there looking for somebody that can accommodate him?"

"He'll probably succeed too, once some of the women are drunk enough to take him on."

"I just can't imagine that."

They took their time over dinner but decided to pass on another drink and headed back toward their apartment. Carly was to the right of Buck so he put his arm around her and asked, "How are you doing, love?"

She smiled and said, "I'm doing fine. Okay, so Gabe is on my mind, but I'm still having fun."

"I'm glad, is there anything any of us can do to make this even more fun for you?"

She smiled again and said, "Of course, you and Mitch could give me a shower like you did for Kali."

Layla was to Buck's left and said, "Wait a second, I asked first."

"Let me converse with my associate later. Maybe we can come up with something that would please both of you."

"You should have been a politician."

"Maybe you're right, they're always screwing somebody."

Things in the square were slowing down a little, but Doug still said, "Damn it I need to stop at the apartment and sort of freshen up after looking at all of this decadence and carnal excess." Kali laughed and kissed his cheek and they headed back to regroup and get ready to go see Faith and her friends.

Once inside, Layla put her arms around Buck and said, "Now what was that about the shower with me and Carly?"

"Patience honey, if we get into that I'm willing to bet we'd never make it to Faith's."

"Maybe that wouldn't be so bad. She'd just have to find somebody else to screw."

"I don't see that as being an issue this evening. She's had me twice so I suspect she'll be looking for new blood, maybe younger blood even." He kissed her and then the two of them took their turn in the bathroom.

When they left the apartment half an hour later and got into the car Carly said, "There's something so sexy about being naked in a car with leather seats."

Then they slowly made their way around the end of the square and out to the street that was once Discovery. Doug said, "I think I'm starting to get jaded now. As we came out and saw all of those naked people and so forth I didn't even get hard. I don't like that at all."

The car was full with Anita sitting on Mitch's legs and Kali in Doug's lap and poor Carly in the middle of the backset. Buck turned right and said, "Well, here we go to what I'm sure will be our next adventure."


Chapter One Hundred Seventeen


All of them were like kids on some adventure that they knew could get them into trouble. Going down the road they talked about what the police would say if they were stopped and the women even got the giggles. They were all a little nervous and the closer they got the more naked they felt. There were no guards at the gate, so they continued until they reached the large circular driveway at the front of the house. There were three other cars already there, parked one behind the other so they joined the line up and all four doors opened. Seven naked people climbed out and the women checked their hair with their hands and the maid waited for them at the door. 

The only shoes the women had packed were high heels because they had assumed that they would be spending their weekend in their tiny shorts or skirts. With the women leading and their heels clicking on the cement the guys followed and watched the ladies asses swing in time with the tapping heels.

The maid seemed nonplussed and smiled as she stepped back in and said, "Please come in and I'll go tell Mrs. Cutler that you're here."

As she walked away Anita said, "She acted like she sees this sort of thing everyday."

Mitch came back with, "Maybe she does."

Faith appeared a minute later and wearing a smile and a tiny bikini said, "I'm so glad you made it," and she went down the line and kissed each of them. 

"Faith," Anita said, "It looks like we're a little under dressed. Did we misunderstand something?"

"No, you're perfect in fact. I was just waiting for you to get here. Now I will admit the other women are wearing bikinis like mine, but not for much longer and you can bet the men won't be wearing anything soon either. There are only about eight of them and all are friends and or business associates or potential business associates from out of town. I tried to tell them about the celebration, but I don't think they believe me, so I need your help to convince them, about the celebration and about the village. I'm going to take them on a tour tomorrow, but I knew they needed full warning about what to expect. How was it over there after I left?"

The seven of them looked at each other until Doug said, "Well Faith, not to be crude or abrupt, but everywhere we looked people were screwing like rabbits and jumping partners and going for more. It was a chaotic orgy in other words."

"Sounds like I started something then."

"You'll be hard put to put that genie back in the bottle. Of course, both of the drink concessions were doing a great business too."

"I can imagine. Everybody is out by the pool, but before we go out I'd like to ask a small favor. As we talk about the village and the celebration don't be sparse with the adjectives and feel free to tease them with comments and eye contact. I'm trying to play with their minds just a little.

"Um, just how teasing, Faith?"

"Whatever. They are all far from being prudes, so you're not likely to offend anybody, God, when the guys see you women, especially in your heels, they will go crazy."

Layla looked down at herself and said, "Well I for one feel a little ridiculous going out there like this now."

"Leave that to me Layla, I'll explain it all to them. Okay, let's go meet the gang."

Faith led the way out to the very large and elaborate pool area and she looked and acted like she was stepping out onto the stage again. "Everybody I'd like you to meet my heroes, the savers of my village." There was no applause as all eyes went to the seven naked additions to their group. It appeared that Faith had failed to warn them of that little detail. Faith quickly went through the names and then added, "Nobody expects the names to be remembered, of course. Now let me explain something." Then as her guests stared at her she casually removed her bikini as she said, "I neglected to tell them about our little gathering tonight so that explains their high heels. Though I'm sure the men will all agree, they look great in them. Also as you can guess I'm sure, they have just come from Discovery where the celebration continues and will go on until tomorrow night. Now remember, this is the celebration that some of you were having a hard time believing."

The men in Faith's group of friends couldn't move fast enough to see that the women were made comfortable and by some coincidence empty chairs were now arranged close to where they were sitting. The guys were on their own to grab a chair and get settled. The maid appeared again, but with help as they distributed tall glasses of beverage as Faith said, "I had Ethel make up a huge batch of her trademark drink so enjoy because there is more where that came from."

The talking and drinking was underway and it wasn't long before none of the women were wearing the tops of their bikinis and one guy shed his suit early on. His cock was hard and then started to relax only to grow again when he looked at Layla or Carly or one of the others. The first drink was gone in minutes and it wasn't long before their glasses were refilled.

Wyatt, the most outgoing of the men looked right at Kali and said, "Tell us about the celebration. Was it still going when you left?"

"Oh yes. Somewhat less than at the beginning of course, but there was no shortage of activity."

"Faith was trying to convince us that everybody was naked."

"Well I hope so because as you can see all of us were."

"I mean around town."

"Of course, shopping and dining, drinking and...well, you asked, making love in the town square. Buck said after the activity started there, add Chianti and oregano and it would be a Roman orgy." Wyatt laughed and found himself at a loss for what to say or ask. Then one of the men got rid of his suit and tossed it aside and waved at the others with his cock as the women, especially in his own group, stared at him. Layla and her group could understand the other groups discomfort or reluctance to strip because it seemed that none of them had ever seen each other naked before. The women's eyes were dancing back and forth as they tried to take everything in at the same time. 


Chapter One Hundred Eighteen

Two of Faiths' people set up a long table and covered it, and then two others brought out trays of snacks and pitchers of drinks and then disappeared. One of the women got up to get a snack so Mitch joined her and said, "You're Adriana, right?"

"I am, and you are..."

"Mitch."

"Right, I apologize."

"Not necessary. I take it you're just a little uncomfortable with the nudity thing."

"I have to confess it surprised me."

"I think Faith is having a little fun at our expense."

"You look very nice though."

"Thank you and so do you, though I think you'd look much better if you removed your bikini."

She smiled and as she reached for an hors d'oeuvre she said, "My bikini doesn't hide much you know."

"True, but that little bikini makes a big difference." Then he stopped moving and put his hand on her arm and added, "If that wasn't the case you would have removed it by now."

"You are so very clever. Now why, when you've seen so many naked women today, would you bother with me?"

"Well, you're certainly not a bother, but to answer your question, many reasons, but at the top of the list is, you are a very good looking woman and I'd like the pleasure of seeing more of you. In fact, I'd very much like the honor of taking your bikini off for you." 

She stopped and looked at him for a second and then in a much softer voice said, "You're serious, aren't you."

"I'm very serious, but why would you be so surprised at that?"

"Well for one thing I've never been naked in front of a group of people before. Why, when you've been looking at naked people all day, would you be so interested in seeing me the same way?"

"Many reasons, but two of them are you are very attractive and you are very sexy."

"Thank you, but I think you've been drinking. You don't mind that I'm staring at you right now? That doesn't seem to bother you."

"Oh but it does bother me and I love the feeling you give me." 

He picked up another hors d'oeuvre and put it on her plate and she smiled and said, "You do seem determined to help me."

"As long as I can help you I can be near you, and as long as I'm near you I can keep trying to get you to say yes."

"But that time you didn't define what I'd be saying yes too."

"You aren't a lawyer by any chance are you?"

She laughed and said, "No I'm not a lawyer. Okay, sit next to me and tell me about this celebration."

While Mitch was involved with Adriana, Buck had adopted Sheri and Layla had been approached by Wyatt. Little by little the blending of guests was complete except for the fourth woman that had been sitting with Wyatt. Faith quickly adopted her and started to work on her.

Mitch had settled for another drink rather than food because he wanted to keep his hands unencumbered. Besides, his mind wasn't on eating right then, in fact he had a mission as he saw it.

"Okay, Mitch," Adriana said, "Tell me a story."

"Be glad to, but you'll have to forgive me for some language because it would be impossible to describe the day without it."

"You're forgiven, but try to be a little delicate."

"Your wish is my command," and he launched into his story. 

It was only a couple of minutes later when Adriana put her plate down and said, "Wait. So all of you and members of the community were on this float riding around the square and you were naked and with this other woman."

"Correct. But that wasn't all we did."

She was hooked. "This is going to get into a...a delicate area right?"

"I don't think delicate is quite the word to use. The fact that she was holding my cock probably gives you an idea."

Adriana flinched at the cock word but recovered enough to ask him, "She...you just rode with her holding onto you're..."

"You can say it."

"Your cock?"

Well that's where it started." She turned to face him more directly and said, "Mitch, are you going to tell me that you and this woman made love while all the others watched you?"

"Well, not all the others because there were fourteen of us on that float."

"No. And all of you were doing the same thing?"

He smiled and said, "Well, I like to think that Wendy and I did it a little better."

"Wendy...so you know her."

"Well, I knew who she was."

"How long have you lived like this?"

"Well...counting tonight," and he smiled at her and then said, "Less than a year."

"So just one day you decide you're going to...God, I don't even know what to call it."

"Layla and I used to be so conservative we put people to sleep."

"I thought you were with Anita."

"I was. We swapped for the weekend."

For some reason that made her smile. "You didn't really...do you?"

"Really, I love both women very much in fact."

"But...my God, I'm just full of questions, I'm sorry."

"Let's get in the pool and talk." She just stood up and with his hand on her hip they walked over to the steps and eased themselves into the warm water.


Chapter One Hundred Nineteen


Anita was with Rod and was slipping his swimsuit off of him. She watched as his cock jumped free and she brazenly kissed the tip before she got up again. "There now that's much better."

"Anita, won't your husband object to this?"

"Neither one minds."

"What do you mean? You can't have two of them."

"Well I'm married to Buck, but I'm with Mitch."

"How can that work?"

"I love them both very much and equally." Rod's hand was on her hip but was slowly slipping down toward her round ass. The woman Doug was with was still in her bikini but they were close to snuggling and he was teasing her with his hand as they talked. All of them were well into their new partner now.

As Mitch and Adriana slowly moved around the pool his arm went around her and teased her bikini bottom as they talked and they moved slower until they stopped. Turning her to face him he took her left hand and put it underwater and onto his cock. She pulled back slightly but he held firm and her hand wrapped around his shaft as they melted into a kiss.

Mitch didn't think about what they were doing in terms of conquest or steps in the fine art of seducing a woman. He was just doing what he loved to do and that was to stimulate and please a woman, to tease her and then to please her completely and totally.

Mitch put his right hand on her belly and slowly moved up until it was at her little bra and she broke the kiss. With their eyes locked on each other his hand moved under and on up to cup her breast in his hand. Her hand went up to stop him, but they stayed like that and kissed again. The more coy and hesitant she was the more he wanted her. His hand moved more and her top was pushed up to expose her breasts to him so he reached back, untied it and tossed it up onto the cement at the edge of the pool. As his left hand took over the job of teasing her breasts his right hand went to her hip and then started to untie the bottoms. She wasn't resisting anymore now and he proceeded to get her bottoms off and let them drift away as his hand went between her legs.




It's All About Faith Pt. 07



"Oh God Mitch this is so wrong, so...but God it feels so good. I don't know how much I can take of this teasing."

"Does my cock feel good in your hand?"

"Yes, it's so hard."

"I want to make love to you, Adriana." She stopped but she still held him and he was still teasing her between her legs. 

"But...I really shouldn't Mitch."

"Have you been with another man since you've been married?"

"No, of course not."

"But you've had chances and you've wanted to."

"Yes."

"I want you Adriana, today...right now."

"But...we're out..."

"Have you ever made love in the grass and in the open air?"

"No."

"It's fantastic...the best, and to let others watch is like no other experience."

"Oh my God, that's right..., my husband would...I mean Rod..."

"Where is he right now as I have my fingers inside of you and you're holding my cock?"

"I don't even know..." and she looked around for the first time. Buck had his woman naked now as did Doug...and then she saw him with Anita.

"He's with your wife...or...whoever."

"So he's being well cared for," and he led her from the pool. Mitch found one of Faith's fancy lounges and pulled the cushion from that and tossed it on the ground. 

"Look at us...at me, outside and naked and with somebody I hardly know. I can't believe...oh God, Faith and Nicole are watching us."

"Then let's give them something to look at honey." He helped her down to the pad and moved over her. "Take my cock in your hand now and guide me into you. Let them watch as we make love, as my cock disappears inside of you." She was all his now, or rather they belonged to each other for whatever time they needed to satisfy themselves and each other. Mitch lowered himself about halfway and then withdrew and then moved into her again. "Can you see your husband, Adriana?"

"Yes."

"Look at him as you feel my cock move inside of you. Let him watch us as we fuck and I give you my seed. I want him to watch you as you climax and hope for more." His soft voice worked on her as she watched her husband touch and tease Anita. They were still standing there and she was on her back looking up at Mitch.

"I can't believe this, "I'm full of your cock now and I love it. Don't stop please Mitch." She tried to say more but Mitch was increasing his movements and her hands were holding onto his arms, "oh my God, Rod just looked over here. He sees us making love."

"He sees us fucking, honey. Tell me we're fucking."

"Damn it, yes, we're fucking...you're fucking me so deep and so...so fucking fast." She was really going now and she started to spit out whole strings of words that he'd never heard before from a woman. "Fuck me, Mitch. Fuck my cunt hard, honey. Oh God, I want to cum for you. Damn it, Rod is still watching us baby, shoot all over me so he can see that. Then her first orgasm hit and he all but stopped and waited until she came down enough that he could increase his speed again. Her cursing was over but she still wanted all of him she could get.

"I'm getting close now, baby. Your pussy is so hot and so tight, I love being inside of you." He really wanted to see her have a second climax, but now he was far enough gone that he didn't think that was going to happen. At the last second he said, "Oh shit, here it comes and he shot into her twice before letting it fly all over her belly. Adriana jumped into a second smaller climax and they rode the wave together. He lowered himself onto her then and they kissed hard and deep as their euphoria took time to ease back. 

Mitch was still breathing hard but he was quickly recovering and they looked at each other and smiled. "Damn it Mitch, look at what you did."

"What we did, darlin". Damn you feel good and if you hadn't drained me we could go again.

"And to think I came very close to telling you to stop."

"I'm so glad you didn't do that. So what do you think of making love outdoors?"

"I love it. I wish it was the middle of the day and we could feel the hot sun on us and let everybody watch us."

"Come over to the village tomorrow then."

"Mitch, are you serious? I mean here is one thing, but there with all of those naked people."

"Just think, everybody will be the same as us."

"We were going to come over to the village, but not naked."

"I think you should, or at the very least get naked over there, but I think you'd love the ride over there if you left your clothes here."

"Rod would never go along with that."

"Well, we'll be there until after lunch sometime."

"So if we go to the village, you'll...oh you'll be with somebody else by then."

"Not necessarily. Let's see, how can I lure you into my trap? Okay, this is how we'll do it. You arrive dressed and come to our apartment. Okay so far?"

"Wait, so we'll just jump into your bed and make love?"

"Oh no, that's far too conventional. Then it's your choice to stay dressed or strip before we explore the village square."

"I can't just go strolling naked. My God, this is the first time...well, the first time for so many things. Okay, I'll admit that all of us had hopes that we'd break out of our old ways, but...I imagined...you know, a touch here, or a feel there kind of thing, maybe kisses and suggestive comments."

"Well Rod doesn't seem to mind because he hasn't even been over to see if you're okay."

"He and Anita seem to be pretty busy now."

"You don't mind that he's screwing Anita?"

"How can I after what we just did?"

"Okay, so back to my proposal. A small intimate wedding where..."

"What?"

"Just teasing, okay, come to the apartment and then you and I will go to the boutiques where I'll buy you a present."

"Just like that?"

"Sure. Of course you'll have to try the present on."

"So just like that you're going to buy me something."

"If you'll allow me to."

"What about Anita and Layla?"

"They can come along if they want to I guess."

"This is just so unbelievable."

"I couldn't agree more. I'll talk to Faith right now and see about getting you over there."

"Okay, but she's...oh my God, she and Rona are...they're making love."

"Oh, okay. Well, help yourself to (a) munchies and I'll be right back."

Mitch paused long enough to look around and watched Anita and Rod for a second and then saw Buck with one of the other women and Doug and Kali each with somebody else. Once they were naked and Mitch and Adriana had started, it seemed to inspire everybody else.

Mitch went over to talk to Faith, but her face was between Rona's thighs and Rona was looking up at Mitch and his half erection. "Hi Rona, I'm Mitch." Rona was well on her way just from what Faith was doing to her so Mitch knelt down and kissed Rona and let his hand roam over her breasts. That must have felt good to her, because she pulled him down so she could kiss him again. 

Mitch couldn't help but smile when she whispered, "I've never done this before." It struck him funny that she would even worry about that by then. 

"Oh hi Mitch, are you here to take over?"

"I was here to talk to you about something, but I'd be happy to try with what I have left."

"Be my guest and they traded places. Mitch got between Rona's legs and Faith took over kissing Rona and caressing her tits. When Mitch's cock slid into her, Rona's legs opened a little more and he did what he could for them. There was no way he could cum again, but that wouldn't matter to Rona. It was only a minute later when Rona was overtaken by an intense orgasm. Mitch was shot, but he put on a good front and sat up smiling. Rona finally sat up and smiled at him and Faith. "Thank you."

"Thank you, sorry I didn't realize sooner that you two were over here," he lied. "So Faith, were you and the others planning to come over to the village?"

"Yes we were in fact."

"Great. I tried to get Adriana to come over naked but she won't do that. So I made her a deal. Come to our apartment and I'll take her shopping and buy her a token of my friendship."

Faith smiled and said, "That would be great. Let's say we're over there at ten."

"Perfect," and he went over and kissed Adriana and said he'd see her tomorrow and then on to where Anita and Layla had just gathered, then Kali, and finally, Buck, and Doug, and Carly. Let's go home and rest kids, big day coming tomorrow."


Chapter One Hundred Twenty

They weren't even to the road when Buck said, "Okay boys and girls, don't look now but we were used. I don't understand the whereas and whys, but that was very nicely orchestrated. Her guests got to have a new experience, we screwed, and were screwed by new people, and Faith came out looking like one hell of a host, or whatever the hell she saw her role as being."

"Layla said, "I agree, but what did she really gain by that other than the host thing?"

"Of course they will tell her how well or wild that was or whatever, so she'll have that moment of glory but other than that I don't know. I just know we were played like fishes with hooks in our mouths.

Mitch added to the issue by saying, "They're coming over to the village tomorrow morning too. I sort of promised Adriana that we'd go shopping."

"Why did you do that," Anita asked.

"She was so hesitant to get naked in the beginning and then when I told her she should drive over naked she said no. So I said okay get naked after they arrive and she said she couldn't just do that."

"So you're going to buy her something and she'll try it on and be naked in the store and so forth."

"Right."

"And we talk about Faith being devious. I suppose you're going to want to make love to her again."

"I'm going to try to do that in the courtyard."

"Oh right, good luck lover."

"If I lose so what, I'll still have fun trying."

"All of us are going to be so damn bored when we go home."

"Well, I for one am going to be damn tired by the time we go home." Kali had been pretty quiet until she said, "I can't say that I'm very pleased about being used. She could have just explained her situation to us and we probably would have agreed to help her do whatever the hell she is up to." She's being deceitful when it isn't even necessary, like she enjoys the game."

"Maybe that's it, she does enjoy the game. Well after tomorrow, it won't matter either way."

Carly said, "I wonder what Max would say if he was alive now. Also, why do I keep getting the feeling that she went well beyond what Max had intended? I know most of this is all for her entertainment, but she also has to make a profit or despite how rich she still is after all of this spending, this could end up destroying her."

Doug was looking out as he said, "I'll tell all of you one thing, but you never heard it from me. She spent well beyond what Max had intended. His whole strategy was to make the village private and safe from prying eyes. As it was, the place was paying for itself. Not much profit, but they were doing okay. Now she must make more of a profit or like you said, she will lose her ass. Also, she had to fight with the county tooth and nail to get that three mile road cut through for the warehouse semis, can you imagine what that cost her? I don't even want to know."

"But now they do handle more freight in and out right?"

"Oh sure they do. I'm not privy to the numbers, but they move a lot of merchandise."

As soon as they were back at the apartment, they washed up and dropped onto their beds. Layla was on her back and looking up at the ceiling when she said, "I'll be ready to go home tomorrow. I'm tired and frustrated. Nita and I traded spouses for this weekend, but that hasn't meant much because we've been so busy and tired Buck and I have hardly had anytime to ourselves."

"I agree," Anita said. "Let's keep the swap going for another week at least."

"Agreed. Guys, any comments?"

Mitch said, "We're good with that, right Buck?"

"We're good with that."

Layla sat up and said, "Carly?"

"I'm here."

"Come over here would you?" Carly went over and sat on the side of their bed and Layla told her, "Sleep with Buck tonight would you?"

"I will not, you just said you two haven't had time together."

"We haven't had sex together. We've been together a lot but we haven't made love. Now I'm too tired for that, and I'll be lucky to be awake ten minutes from now, so I won't know the difference. If you two can find what it takes to dance, more power to you. If not, then just hug or snuggle or argue, whatever you want to do. I get to have him for the next seven days so it's easy for me to be magnanimous right now." 

"But Layla..."

"Just get in bed okay?" She got up and as she reached Carly's bed she said, "Night everybody, see you for breakfast."

Carly felt a little awkward sliding in next to Buck, but she did and they fell into a gentle embrace. "Buck, I feel a little like a charity case right now."

"Well, you aren't that by any means. Layla just feels like you're being left out of everything."

"This whole thing has been a couples sport by default. All of you have been supportive and I have nothing but good things to say about all of you."

"I don't know the story between you and Gabe but I hope you can work it out. But I'll tell you this. If you can't work it out, you will still always be a part of our inner circle and our very good friend. I'm so impressed by how strong you've been all weekend. Had it been me, I'm afraid I would have been looking for a way out of here."

"You know Buck I did consider that, but I'm so glad I didn't take that route. I've had fun and shared some awesome experiences with all of you and with others. I've been running around naked and loved every second of that. And look at me right now, I'm in bed with you and even with Layla's blessings. Life could be a whole lot worse than that."

"So you'll forgive me if I'm not up to proving my love?"

"Yes you're forgiven." She kissed him and then turning her back to him she moved back toward him as his arm went over her and they whispered goodnight to each other.

It was somewhere about three in the morning when Carly stirred and Buck felt her pull his hand up to her breasts. He responded by gently moving his hand and caressed a breast and found her nipple to tease. She rolled onto her back and whispered, "You're supposed to be asleep."

"So are you."

"Are you trying to start something or were you just teasing me?"

"I was kind of trying to start something."

"This might affect your performance with what's her name tomorrow."

"Oh darn." 

Carly turned to face him and said, "If I find out this is an affair of sympathy, I'll never speak to you again."

"That sounds reasonable, now be quiet or we'll wake the others. I know, want to go to the courtyard?"

"Now? It's way past dark thirty now."

"Sounds kind of exciting to me."

"Let's go." They snuck out and didn't even latch the door behind them. Once they were down the stairs they put their arms around each other and kissed. "It's kind of chilly out here."

"It's fine as long as we keep moving."

"That's exactly what we were planning right?"

"That's right." They walked toward the square where they would find one of the mats and as they walked Carly said, "Thank you Buck."

"No need to thank me, I've wanted you for some time. It's just that so much has been going on."

"Do you really love Anita and Layla?"

"I really do and..."

"Don't you dare say you love me because we both know better."

"Okay, I'll admit to really, really, really liking you then."

"You're just horny."

"I'm really not. I just felt like I wanted us to be close. To kiss and share."

"Now stop that." They walked right past the first pad and kept going walking hand in hand. 

"Carly, do you have any idea what to expect to find at home?"

"I really don't, Buck. I just know that I'm not going to bust my ass to patch things up this time. I'm comfortable with who I am and how I live. He can't seem to decide who he is, where he wants to be or how he wants to live. It's like I was waking up to a different person every morning. Hell, my life is more stable sharing with all of you that it was with him."

"You had an idea that the Friday night thing was going to get to him."

"I had a feeling that it could, but I really didn't know. He was fine as we left home, but then Friday evening he started acting differently so that's when I knew things might not go smoothly."

"So you decided, screw him, he knew what all of us were there for."

"That's right. He knows me and how I am. I haven't changed and I'm not about to." He slipped his arm around her waist and she leaned into him as they continued their lap around the square without feeling the cold. Her left arm went around him and as her hand touched his butt she said, "I think you have the sexiest buns."

"Thanks I'm glad you like them. Of course they aren't nearly as sexy as yours."

"Depends on your point of view."

"Well, I know Anita liked yours that day in our bedroom."

She stopped and said, "She told you about that?"

"I watched you two."

"Buck, I didn't mean for that to happen that way."

"Nita explained it to me, Carly."

"I'm sorry if I hurt either of you."

"It's funny, because as I watched you two I got so damn turned on, I could hardly breathe. Then I got mad because I felt like she was cheating on me. Then I saw how mixed up she was and felt sorry for her. I never have really sorted that out. It really was good for both of you though, wasn't it."

"It was frightening and awesome and confusing."

"Have you been with her or any other woman since then?"

"No. Does she ever mention it?"

"Not now. At first she brought it up every so often because she was like you, trying to sort it all out. She doesn't want to be thought of as bi sexual for some reason and I think that interferes with her thinking."

"What are your thoughts?"

"I'm a little mixed up too. I loved watching you two together, but I still feel that if you two were to get together on your own it would be like cheating because I'd be left out of everything."

"You'd feel jealous of us?"

"I think so. Let's say you and I were married and I feel a little horny. But instead of coming to you I go to some guy or another woman."

"Well another woman behind my back would fire up one hell of an argument. Another guy...I just don't know. I'd still be replaced by somebody else so I see your point. So what we're saying is a lot of things would be okay as long as we share them or don't do things behind each other's back."

"That's about it."

"So if we were to stop and make love on one of those mats we'd be going behind Layla's back."

"Not this time because she gave us her blessing remember?"

"She's a very good friend."

"She's one hell of a woman."

"Good in bed?"

"Very."

"Maybe we should find out if I'm nearly as good as she is."

"Maybe we should," and they dropped onto the next pad they came to. "Damn that's cold."

"I'll get your mind off of that honey," and with him on her they kept each other busy and were immune to the cold. Even as they lay there kissing and complimenting each other they cool night wasn't a deterrent for them. "Buck, I still like your buns better than mine."

"Okay, but I like yours best so I'm going to keep a close eye on them."

"I'll do what I can to make that easier for you then. We're going to be pretty tired tomorrow."

"I don't care, what do you think of that?"

"I almost think...I do think I'm glad Gabe went home Friday night."

"I know one thing. I wish I had it in me to make love to you again."

"Maybe we'll get one more chance before we go home."

"I'd like that."

"Would you walk me home mister?"

"I'll carry you home if you want me to."

"Thanks but I want us to walk slow and talk."


Chapter One Hundred Twenty One

The bright morning light was streaming in the bedroom window when Carly woke and sat up. She rubbed her eyes and checked her watch and then looked at Buck lying next to her. She bent down and kissed his cheek, waited a second and kissed it again and whispered, "Wake up lover."




It's All About Faith Pt. 07



He stirred and stretched with his arms over his head and said, "Morning gorgeous, what time is it?"

"Eight thirty."

"Oh shit," and he sat up. Then he smiled and said, "Damn, I enjoyed last night."

"I did too. We better get a quick shower and get to Ma's for breakfast though." He followed her in and they showered together, but not without him teasing her with his soapy hands. 

"Buck honey, you keep doing that and we'll still be in bed when company comes."

"Okay, I'm going to pretend that there's a down side to that and behave."

"Something's gotten into you, why me and why now lover?" They were out of bed and had it made more or less before heading to the shower.

"Why you, is easy. Why now, is a little more difficult? I just know I loved sleeping next to you and waking up with you in the middle of the night. I loved our long walk and our talk. I loved feeling you next to me and oh how I loved it when we made love."

"You know you're a little like Gabe, but in a much nicer way." They were still soaping and rinsing as she said, "You go from nice to super nice to sexy to loving and back. You keep changing, but I love it the way you do it."

"Oh honey, I love the way you do it too." She shut the water off and said, "Out before you drive me crazy." While he shaved she worked on her hair and they kissed and patted each other's ass before leaving and heading to Ma's Kitchen. They were almost there when the others came out. "Well, if it isn't the lovers," Layla said. She kissed Buck's cheek and said, "Don't linger over coffee to long hon."

"We'll be back before our so called company arrives." They went in and had breakfast and over coffee Carly said, "It's funny. I was just remembering when we met you and Anita that warm night."

"Damn, how I watched your butt and lusted for you."

"Did you really?"

"Very much so, you were wearing that skirt, and with your heels, your butt made it dance from side to side and my eyes went back and forth like a clock pendulum."

"Who would have ever guessed we'd be here now and having breakfast in the nude, just you and me."

"You just never know what tomorrow will bring and that's a good example of that."

"I hate to go home, Buck."

"Because of Gabe?"

"That's most of it. I feel great right now but when I see him I'll just crash and I know it. On top, of that I won't be seeing any of you for quite some time I'm sure."

"Now that's one thing we can do something about. We'll just keep in close contact and play it day by day."

"Let's get out of here before I start to cry." As they walked Carly asked Buck, "Will you be with what's her name again?"

"I hope so, because I don't feel like getting acquainted with the other ones. I like her well enough and we get along and that's good enough for me. I even plan to have some fun while we're at it."

"Sounds like you're ready to go home too."

"I think I am. I know I'll get home and say damn I miss this or that, but I'm getting tired."

"Well, I contributed to that."

"No, you picked up my spirits love."

"Buck, stop being nice to me okay?"

"You must know that doesn't make a lot of sense."

She smiled and said, "I know, just pay no attention to me."

"Not gonna happen. Okay, we're going back there and smile and laugh and play nice with the others. Then in a few hours we'll head for home and start the next page in our lives and I already have an entry in that page with your name on it. Now step it up."

"Are we in that big of a hurry?"

"No, I like to watch your tits bounce." She swatted his arm and put her arm around him as they stepped it up together.

"It makes your cock bob nicely too," and the rest of they way they were quiet but stayed close to each other. By the time they were back and had brushed their teeth they only had a few minutes before their company was to arrive.

Company was a few minutes late and Faith came breezing in without knocking saying, "Sorry we're late, but I had to show them my apartment first."

Mitch went straight to Adriana and they shared a light kiss as she stared at his nakedness again. "I saw others on the street and they were naked too."

"I told you. You'll be the only ones wearing anything today."

"But Mitch..."

"Hey it's whatever. I'm just giving you advance warning."

"You're really comfortable just going naked everywhere."

"Well there is one drawback."

"I'm sure there is."

"No pockets." She just smiled and shook her head, "Ready to go shopping?"

"You're still serious about that."

"Absolutely."

"Rod," she said, "Mitch is taking me shopping are you going along?"

"You must be kidding me. I'll be somewhere around here with Anita."

"I'll go with you," Rona said, and Mitch just smiled.

"If you'll go with us, I'll buy you something too, Rona."

With that the three of them left the others and Mitch guided them to Alice's first. Wendy was there to greet them saying, "Mitch, good to see you again. Let me guess you, have two new wives."

"Close, but we're just pretending today. I wanted to show them a few things so I'll just lead them around," and he gave her a quick wink.

"I'll be right here to help you, of course."

He took them right to the newest and littlest shorts and of course the different tops that hid little so no bra could be worn. He grabbed one and acting very conspiratorially whispered to the two women, "Now these tops are very sexy and very comfortable, but as you can see you can't wear a bra under them."

Rona looked at it and said, "Really? Oh well that's not so bad, I'm not exactly a prude after all."

"Well you certainly weren't a prude last night. In fact you were smoking."

"Oh God, let's not talk about that. I still can't believe I let her do that, to...well, you know, you were there."

"Thankfully, yes I was. Now the shorts are so very sexy and normally those are about all you see the women were here now, except for today of course."

"They are so tiny."

"They are, and of course, no panties under them or you'll look pretty silly. Well, look at Wendy, she's naked now, but when she puts on a pair of those shorts, her butt looks smaller and tighter, very sexy and trim." 

"Really?"

"Oh yes, really. They also have the sexiest, and I'm told the most comfortable panties to be found. Not to wear under the shorts, of course, but at home you know? I know, we'll line up an outfit for each of you to try on right down to new panties. Wendy, love, we're ready for your help."

She came over and the women looked at her nakedness as much as Mitch did. He showed her what he wanted and they made eye contact before she got their sizes and gathered up all of the garments. "Right this way, ladies. I've sold so many of these shorts and tops recently, it's amazing, by far our best sellers this year in fact. And these panties....I may just quit carrying the other brands, because I can't get rid of them now." Wendy was really laying it on.

"I can't wait to try these on," Rona said and then she saw the dressing area with a woman standing there naked and looking at her selections. Wendy was leading the way with the pile of garments as Adriana asked, "Where are the dressing rooms?"

"That whole carpeted area is the dressing area. That way Mitch can give you his opinion as you try things on. It's really unfair the way they treat men at women's shops. No place for them to sit or share in the shopping. No wonder men normally hate to be involved in it. Here they frequently come and help their wives select things and pick things out for them."

"But...we just...over there, where anybody can see us?"

"Sure, but don't worry they're all busy picking things out. Besides, today everybody is naked so they won't give you a second thought."

"I can't believe this." They followed Wendy over and the games began. Mitch sat down and leaned back ready to enjoy the show.

Wendy handed both of them the shorts and reminded them saying, "Be sure to remove your panties or you'll just hate those shorts. Both women were looking around as they undressed from the waist down and slipped on the shorts.

"Oh my God they're...I'm still almost naked."

"It's the fabric. It's so comfortable it feels that way. Look at you, you're so sexy in them. And you...what's your name, hon?"

"Rona."

"Very sexy Rona, those shorts were made for you."

"They are comfortable."

"And they get better as you wear them." Wendy was spitting out tales as fast as she could think them up. "I'll get you a slightly different style so you can see which you like better," and of course she came back with a pair for each of them. The women were getting more involved with the clothes now and after being stripped below the waist that long they were getting used to that as well.

"What do you think Mitch; you're paying for these after all?"

"Well I'd like to see you try the other ones of course, but I do like those."

As soon as they had their shorts off Wendy said, "Let's try the tops on. That way if I need to get a different size I can do that while I'm getting the shorts." 

"But we'll be totally naked then."

"Nobody cares though. I know it seems unusual, but we've been doing it this way for years and we have any number of women that won't shop any other way now. It's just getting used to the idea. Remember if you walk back out that door you'll see men and women walking the streets naked, so this is really not a big thing." They finally stripped naked and Wendy worked at keeping them trying things on and undressing again. She went through the new amazing bra they just got in and on it went. The women were naked more than dressed now and finally accepted it. Then some naked guy came in and talked to Wendy about getting something for his wife and looked at Rona and Adriana, "Ladies, if I may say so, I saw you in those shorts and they were hot."

They blushed and Mitch told him thanks for his input. Then Wendy came back and walking over to Mitch said, "Another nice thing is we know if the man approves," and she wrapped her hand around Mitch's hard cock. "See what I mean. Mitch can't lie his way out of this. He likes what he's seeing right, lover?"

"Very right Wendy, and I like the way you made your point."

"I still remember yesterday lover."

"Me too."

Adriana walked over to Mitch and said, "So that's the Wendy, you told me about at Faith's?"

"That's The Wendy. She's very good at what she does."

"Are you talking about retail or what you two did yesterday?"

"Both honey, both." Then to Wendy he said, "They'll take all of them Wendy and you can put their other clothes in the same bag. I'll be a gentleman and carry them."

"No need Mitch, we'll drop them off at your apartment in a couple of hours." 

"Thanks, love."


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Two


A naked couple entered the store and said good morning to Wendy as his eyes scanned the two women and Mitch. "I can see you are having a great day. Very sexy ladies," and he dutifully followed his partner.

"Mitch wait...now wait, we're still ...we're naked."

"Of course you are and have been for some time. Look behind you. There are women shopping and they're naked and not even trying things on. Look outside and the women are naked as are the men. I'm naked."

"Well, of course you are but..."

He put one woman on each side of him and said, "Let's go. If it bothers you too much we'll go to the apartment and hide." Their heads were too full of conflicting emotions to pick up on his snide remark about hiding, and they obediently walked out into the sunlight. "Now doesn't it feel liberating to have the sun shine on all of you? Feel the light morning breeze drift past your nakedness. This is the way we were meant to be, naked and free and this is the only place where you'll ever be able to experience this." They stood there with their arms wrapped around themselves to hide their breasts leaving their most prized possession exposed, but they were too busy to notice.

Their eyes tried to be everywhere at the same time. "Oh my God," Adriana said, "I can't believe this, nakedness everywhere."

Buck kissed each of them and then Rona lowered her voice and said, "Adriana, look at that guy coming this way. Look at his cock, my God."

Mitch and Adriana looked and her eyes went wide and he said, "Morning, Chase."

"Good morning, Mitch. Damn how do you do it, two beautiful women at the same time?"

"Well it isn't from clean living," and Chase laughed. 

"Have you seen Jim this morning?"

"He was headed back to the store just awhile ago." He smiled and then added, "Pop in and say hi, I'm sure he'd like to see all three of you."

"Thanks, we'll do that."

"Who's Jim," Rona asked.

"A good and very helpful friend, he's one of those people that loves everybody and he's a very respected and generous member of this little community. Let's walk the square."

"It's about time you finished shopping." It was naked Faith with the others in tow all naked as well.

"I was just going to take Rona and Adriana down to meet Jim."

"Excellent idea, but we're on our way to see the new homes."

"Oh. Well okay." Mitch didn't understand why all of them were going along but he put his arms around Rona and Adriana and off they went. Mitch's two women seemed to forget about being naked. The tour lasted for a good hour and it didn't take long for it to become obvious that Faith was playing realtor. She was trying to sell her houses to her friends. 

Mitch was finally able to divest himself of his ladies and Anita took their place. "So what do you think of the sales pitch?"

"I'm ready to get out of here."

"Buck just said the same thing, but let's go have some lunch before we leave."

"Probably a good idea, okay, the ladies can go see Jim without us and we'll go have an early lunch and then pack up and get out of here." Doug and Kali joined them and he just rolled his eyes and shook his head. Mitch just smiled and said, "We're going to Ethel's for an early lunch and then leave. Is Kali going with us or staying with you?"

"I have to get back to work tomorrow so as far as I know she's going with you."

The more Mitch thought about it the madder he got. "I can't believe this shit. We've been played like suckers. Our role was to help her sell her damn real estate and nothing more. That whole gig at her place was set up for us to arrive naked to impress the others and prove that what Faith told them was true. Now we're fucking escorts for the sales tour."

"She's trying to be Max and failing miserably. I still have to work with her until this project is totally finished, but then I'm out of here." Buck and the others finally joined them and they headed to Ethel's.

All of them ordered sandwiches of one kind or another and iced tea and talked as they waited for their food with Buck setting the tone. "I think we were set up right from the start. The show at the Playhouse used us as her heroes to set a theme. Throw us gifts and then do the same with some of the others and get us involved in the program, all just so much staging to feed her need to be top dog. Then Saturday with the friggin' float it was more of the same. So on and so forth."

Then Mitch added, "Giving Roberta the house was more of the same. She could afford to give that away because hardly anybody wants one of her houses. She's stuck with a couple of million in dead real estate. On top of that, a whole cluster of empty houses is going to have one hell of a negative effect on the village. It's like having a giant dead carcass next door."

Buck put his hand on Anita's and said, "Anita and Carly both said something didn't smell good right from the beginning. Even with their foreboding words it still took us long enough to figure it out."

"Looks like this is our last visit to the village of Discovery."

Faith and her friends had disappeared because her play had come to an end and hopefully she had sold some of her real estate. Sunday night the orgy would be over and Monday morning it would be business as usual once again in Discovery. Doug and Kali lagged behind so they could say their goodbyes and then she joined the others to pack and get on the road.


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Three


Buck and Layla were in the front again and Kali took the right rear seat. Mitch was on the left with Anita in his lap, and Carly was tucked in between Kali and Mitch. The first half hour on the road was spent bashing Faith and her conniving ways and the next half hour was spent in silence as each of them thought about what their tomorrows might bring. Kali broke the silence saying, "I have to give Faith credit for one thing. It was her idea for Doug to meet me. I'm sure only because it might look better if we were in pairs."

Carly asked her, "Do you see the two of you getting serious?"

"There's a chance it could. At least we'll see where it takes us."

"With Gabe running off that kind of screwed things up for Faith then."

"She didn't let it bother her though."

"You weren't exactly alone though," Mitch said.

"Listen to you. I remember you promising me we would have more quality time together. What happened with that stud?"

"She got you on that one," Anita said.

"Oh no, we're not home yet. Nita, you and Carly trade places."

"Oh sure, what are you going to do kiss her neck until she climaxes?" It was no small feat for them to trade places with so little room but they finally succeeded. Carly was ready to let go of the back of Buck's seat and sit on Mitch's lap when he put his hands on her hips and said, "Wait a sec," and pulled her shorts down.

"But what are you doing?"

"Just stay like you are." He quickly moved his shorts and underwear down and then managed to get one of her legs out of her shorts.

"Mitch, honey hurry up, my bare ass is all but hanging out of the window."

Anita and Kali were watching the show and all but laughing and Layla had turned as far as she could so she could watch the proceedings as well.

Mitch was trying to hold his cock up, but keep his hand and arm out of the way and Carly was trying to lower herself onto him. Kali was laughing and Anita was just smiling and shaking her head as Buck tried to figure out what was going on. Then Layla started to narrate the progress and made things worse by saying things to Buck like, "Oh... oh....almost but missed. No wait, Carly is going for another try. Her pussy is close...closer...oh Mitch's hand is in the way. Okay, here we go again..." and even Carly was smiling. The whole scene had to be a ridiculous one but they kept trying. Then Anita did her best to kneel on the floor and help guide Mitch's cock as Carly once again lowered herself.

"Oh yes, thank you Nita." Carly lowered herself a little more and Mitch raised his hips just a little and they were on their way. In the beginning, there was nothing sensual about their coupling at all. But as they adjusted their position and Mitch moved up and down she closed her eyes and said, "Oh yes honey, that does feel good." It was awkward and far from ideal but they stuck with it and Mitch's hands went under her top and found her breasts.

Buck changed everything when he asked, "Did you two know that seat reclines."

Mitch stopped moving and said, "Say that again."

"That's a sixty forty split seat and both sides recline almost all the way back for hauling large items."

"Well hell, now you tell us." Mitch dropped the seat back and they changed their position and went back to making love. It still had to be Carly on top but they were on their way again with her back to Mitch and the others looked on as she rode his cock. Mitch could no longer reach her breasts so Anita moved closer and before long they were kissing and Anita was all over her breasts. It wasn't long before Carly had an orgasm and moved off of Mitch leaving him short of his climax and still standing proud. 




It's All About Faith Pt. 07



Anita was soon out of her shorts and she and Carly traded places. Anita smiled at Layla as she lowered herself and Carly guided Mitch's cock until his cock slipped between her inner lips. As that happened Layla and Anita's eyes connected and they stared into each other as she held herself up slightly and Mitch started pumping up and down into her. It was only when Carly moved closer that Anita and Layla broke their visual union. Mitch didn't have long before he was getting close and he warned Anita. She really didn't care if she didn't climax so she coaxed and urged him on. She managed a small orgasm and what he had given her was slipping out of her before she could try to catch it. His cum slipped down her thigh and onto Mitch as she raised up and Carly, using her hand, caught most of it. Anita smiled weakly and said, "Oops," and Carly put her cum filled hand to her mouth and drank Mitch's offering. It was right after that when they stopped for gas and the restroom and then it was on to Scranton. The grand celebration was over and all of them would get together and revisit the good memories over drinks or coffee. 

Gabe was soon out of Carly's life and she moved to an apartment, but she never did say what had caused the split. Their sexual excesses had taken a toll on all of them so they went through a rebound phase. Anita and Layla were back to their husbands most of the time and when Carly joined them it was for dinner and conversation and of course flirting and kissing, but that was all. Kali and Doug continued to see each other and their relationship was growing. She still thought about Buck just as she came into his mind frequently.



It's All About Faith Pt. 08



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Four


Over a year had passed since they had been to Discovery and the four of them got together for an early Saturday dinner. Layla mentioned that she would have a few days off starting the next Friday through the following Monday and she said, "I really need to get away. The last two months have been wicked."

Mitch laughed and said, "I know, let's go to Discovery."

"You are joking right?"

"Yes and no. Okay, how about this. The four of us go up there, but not stay. You can see what the boutiques have now and we can have lunch or an early dinner at Ethel's and then head on south to wherever. Find a nice motel or resort and just crash."

"But not stay at the Twilight right?"

"Nope, just visit, see what's going on and then leave."

"Okay, I'm for that. Buck...Anita?"

"As long as we don't stay and get caught up in that mess again." Their plans were set. They would be on the road no later than eight and in Discovery in time for lunch.

The four of them were on the road ten minutes ahead of schedule and with Mitch at the wheel made good time. "You know it seems so long ago that Layla and I stumbled into Discovery in a broken car and our lives were changed forever."

"All four of our lives were changed forever," Anita added. All of that really does seem so long ago."

"Be honest Nita, did you bring Discovery shorts to wear?"

"No...Okay I brought something, but I brought the skirt instead."

"Now that's music to my ears."

"You've seen my naked butt so what's the big deal?"

"Did you bring heels too?"

"Yes love, I brought heels too."

"Layla?"

"Of course," they saw the old sign for Discovery first and Mitch slowed down to about ten miles an hour, but where he planned on turning to the left there was now a gate across the road.

"What the hell?"

Layla was next with, "Oh my God, the stores are boarded up."

Mitch pulled over in front of what used to be Jim and Delia's store and stopped. They got out and just looked down the old main street of what used to be part of Discovery. "How can this be after just sixteen or eighteen months? When we left here everything was booming."

Buck looked across the street toward the warehouse fronts and said, "I'll be right back," and ran across the street to the first door he saw. He tried the knob and it opened so he went in and saw a door to his left and went through that to a counter and looked to see if anybody was around. 

Then from his right he heard, "Can I help you?"

"Oh...um, yeah, what the hell happened to the village across the street?"

"Oh that. Hold on I'll get somebody else for ya," and he disappeared. A minute later she came in and Buck smiled, "hi, Wendy."

"Buck, what a surprise this is."

"What happened?"

"It's a pretty sad sight isn't it."

"We've just seen this side of it but I take it there's nothing left."

"That's about right." She looked at her watch and said, "I'll be going to lunch in half an hour so if you want to hang around we can talk."

"That would be great. Is there anyplace for coffee or anything?"

"Not anymore. Listen just go through the gate and get comfortable and I'll be over shortly."

"The gate's closed."

"Oh, just pull it open, it sometimes closes on its own." "See you in a little bit," and he went back out and then ran toward the gate telling the others, "Drive down to the gate and I'll open it." When they drove through, Buck walked down what used to be south side of the town square and as he caught up with the others, he said, "This is really sad. Damn look at the town square, all filled with tall grass and weeds."

"And boards across the store windows," Anita added. "It's really sad and kind of creepy now, like there are ghosts hanging around watching us." 

They saw the alcove to their apartment and went over there and looked up the steps. Layla looked around and said, "This is so unbelievable. Look, behind the steps are those colored pads they scattered around the square for the celebration. I didn't realize there were so many of them. So no restaurants or anything open then."

Buck shook his head and said, "All gone now. No motel or grocery or anything."

"Then why is Wendy still here?"

"Don't know, but you can ask her when she comes over." They were still standing there talking about what once was when Wendy appeared. "Hi. I came through from the other side. Let's go up and have some iced tea and talk." They followed her up the steps and then to the right and into what was Faith's apartment. "Make yourself comfortable."

Layla followed Wendy and said, "Let me help. You probably have to hurry so you can eat and get back to work."

"I told them I'd be late getting back. It's not a big deal, but thanks. I'll pour and you can carry some of them."

They gathered in the living room and Wendy said, "I'll bet all of this was a real shock to you. Well, let me give you the quick version and then we can fill in the blanks. Forgive me for eating in front of you. Okay, let's see. You were here for the celebration so..." and she took a bite of her sandwich and chewed as she thought, washed it down with iced tea, and continued. "Well, all was well after the celebration, but not for long. We destroyed the town from within. Jealousies formed and that was never a problem before. It seems that weekend of total decadence and pagan hell raising was about the worst thing to have happen here. It all seemed great at the time. For whatever reason what we did at the Playhouse was okay and nobody had a problem with it. But when we did the same thing out in the open on the town square it was a different matter." 

She paused to take a couple more bites and the continued. "First one couple moved out and then another. Just moved away and abandoned their houses out at the south end of town and didn't look back. There was nobody to buy them so why not? Anyway, Ma's Kitchen was one of the first to close and of course the gift shop never did do any good or the Men's store either. Then Mae closed Casey's, but what really did it was when Dwayne closed down the grocery and the auto repair and left. It was like dominoes falling after that. Now all that's left is Roberta in her place in the back. She works for Jim and Delia in the shipping and warehouse area. Another couple that moved in right after the celebration and their name is Rod and Adriana something."

"Well I'll be damned," Mitch said.

"You know them?"

"We met at Faith's."

"Oh yes, Faith. Now that's more of the story. Look, this is going to take quite awhile. Why don't you stay at your apartment tonight?"

"We need to eat and so forth."

"Oh that. Take the shortcut road over to South Renovo. There's a grocery and a restaurant or two over there and it's about fifteen minutes away. Well, Ethel is over there in fact. Of course, she named her new place Ethel's again, and it's about four doors down from the market. Then tomorrow, we can talk for as long as it takes to get you caught up. I have tons of things to share with you. The TV still works as does the phone and the wireless Internet. More story there too. I'll go back to work and try to get away a little early."


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Five


The foursome made a dash down to South Renovo and surprised Ethel. They were about half way through their meal when Ethel saw them and abandoned her duties so she could sit with them and talk. "So you saw Discovery I take it."

Anita smiled and said, "Well, what's left of it."

"Not much, that's for sure. What a cluster fuck...sorry, what a mess that all turned out to be. Faith should have never done any of that. It didn't take a big brain to see that what she was doing would blow up in her face."

"I take it you're not one of her bigger fans now."

"Not at all. I never realized how much she relied on Max. She tried to be like him but she couldn't decide if she wanted to be a hard assed business person or a woman. I think her feminine needs and desires won out."

"So what's happening with her now?"

"Well, the last I heard, Peggy, Dan and her were living a very nice three way life. As bad as Faith is, I think that without Peggy, she would have done even worse. Peggy is her lieutenant you know."

"We were getting that impression even before."

"So where are you staying?"

"We ran into Wendy, so we're going to stay in our apartment there."

"Why?"

"Just curious and we were just trying to get away. We weren't looking for the Discovery lifestyle anyway. Wendy said we'd get together tomorrow and she'd bring us up to date on everything."

"Well, she'll know more about that than me that's for sure. She and Peggy still stay in touch and Peggy does like to talk."

"That's not so good for a lieutenant to be talking too much."

"I know. Peggy's just doing what she has to do to survive and with that, she ends up with big Dan. As long as she smiles and plays Faith's game, she'll be fine. But you know...I really miss the old Discovery. I miss the people and the fun."

"Did you know that it was Hank that was the problem?"

"Sure. He needed to go, but they should have replaced him and kept Faith out of the day to day things. We didn't have to have a whole new town. That's like blowing up the house because it has a fly in it."

"Are you and Darren still together?"

"We are and will probably stay that way."

"Fantastic, we're happy for you and give him our best."

Ethel had to get back to work and the foursome went to the market and then headed back to the apartment talking all the way.

They got out of the car and Layla stood there and stripped naked and tossed her clothes in a grocery bag. The other three laughed, but soon joined her and they went up to their apartment in the nude, put the groceries away, and went back outside, and walked the square once again. The men watched the women's breasts and their nearly hard cocks swayed with each step.

When Wendy got home she found her friends naked and sitting on two benches facing each other on the sidewalk near the stairs. She smiled and said, "I see you adopted two of the benches and moved them, wonderful. I also see you're into the lifestyle, and that's great too. Mind if I join you?"

"Please do."

"I'll just go up and get comfortable, grab a drink and be back."

"She still has perfect tits," Buck said.

She was back less than five minutes later and dropped onto the bench between Buck and Anita. "This is wonderful. I get naked every night, but it's just not the same when you're alone. I'm really glad you stopped. Okay, so where did I leave off?"

Layla told her, "You had just told us about Rod and Adriana."

"Oh right. I don't know how they work it, but they are up here quite a bit when the weather is good. Okay, let's see. So I work at the warehouse and I live in Faith's apartment for free in exchange for keeping an eye on things. If Roberta or Rod and Adriana have a problem, they find me and I find Peggy. We take care of our own trash by toting it over to the dumpster at the warehouse. It's incredibly quiet here day or night with only the occasional car going by behind us. Faith donated the shortcut road to the county that she built and that gets the maintenance issue off of her back."

"So she won't mind that we're here?"

"She won't even know it unless I decide to tell her and besides she doesn't care. She's pretty much lost interest in this place now because she lost her ass with it. There's way over two million dollars in condos, town houses and cottages back there just sitting empty. All they need is food and people in them, a true turnkey situation. What a waste and what a stupid thing for her to do. Max must be spinning in his grave right now. Nobody liked the new town as much as the old one and it showed in their attitudes. The old town was a part of them, kind of like an old friend I guess and she just took it away from them."

Mitch asked her, "So the stores are all empty now?"

"Yes, pretty much. Casey's and Alice's have some things in them because we just never got back to emptying them. By now, it's all old merchandise that we could never sell on the Internet, and the retailers aren't interested in screwing with it. The restaurants still have all of the equipment in them, and I think that's about it. Oh, and the hardware store has some odds and ends in it, but not a whole lot. We all knew there was no real reason for this town to exist, so once it developed a weak spot, it spread like a cancer. Now everybody is scattered all over the country and starting over."

"So Faith still owns all of this."

"Pretty much, she owns it, but she doesn't even know what she has here now."

"Has she even been back here since the celebration?"

"Not that I'm aware of."

Layla asked her, "Do you see Bill anymore?"

She didn't answer right away. Looking toward the fancy security gates that protected the homes she said, "Not anymore. He got a construction job and now he travels from job to job."

"I'm surprised you don't hate Faith."

"Well, I sure don't love her. I do what I need to do to get along. With no rent and a decent paycheck, I'm doing okay. The apartment is more than I could ever afford and where else could I go that would afford this freedom? I really miss a lot of the people though. I have something wonderful and nobody to share it with."

Mitch had been sitting there and listening but then asked her, "Do you and Roberta ever get together and talk?"

"Oh sure, but not a lot and let's face it, Roberta is nice. She's sweet even, but she's a little strange too. No, make that more than a little strange."

"What about Peggy or Rona?"

"I see Peggy every week or two and sometimes Rona. They don't talk about it, but I'm sure that Rona, Peggy and Faith have a three way thing going on. I don't know how they find time for Dan."

"You know what's really depressing Wendy," Buck said. "It's the weeds in the square and the boarded up windows. That just speaks failure and neglect."

"I know it does and it drives me crazy."

"Maybe you and Layla could move up here."

"We can't, I have a business to run and Layla has a good career in Scranton."

Buck stood up and said, "Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going up and have a margarita," and the rest of them followed him up the stairs. They drank and talked until the margaritas were gone, and then Wendy said goodnight and went to her apartment. The four of them talked more about the disaster that was once Discovery and somehow Anita and Layla had traded partners and were soon making love and couldn't have cared less about the village.


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Six 


Layla and Anita were up first and made the coffee and slowly woke up together. "Nita, I'm enjoying going naked again."

"I am too. The abandoned village breaks my heart and yet I'm enjoying the quiet and no distraction."

"I know. Nita, I know it's early for this kind of talk, but the guys will be awake soon."

"Okay, let's hear it."

"I noticed when we went home from here the last time. You know when you and Carly were taking turns with Mitch."

"I remember that of course."

"I watched you and Carly. You know touch and help each other. Have you and Carly ever...you know been intimate?" Anita looked at Layla trying to decide if to answer or how and that made Layla uncomfortable so she said, "Never mind, I shouldn't have asked that."

"You surprised me is all." Then she listened for sounds from the bedroom and in a softer voice she told her story about Carly coming to see her and them making love. It was Layla's turn to stare as the story unfolded. "Sorry, if you're disappointed in me."

"No, that's not it. It's just that...it was my turn to be surprised. Have you two done that since?"

"No, and for me, at least not with anybody since then either."

"It must have been pretty good for you to climax."

"I went through about every kind of emotion. Fear, anger, curiosity, passion...everything, but love I guess, and all in the span of...I don't know, maybe twenty minutes or so. Buck caught us at it too."

"Was he upset?"

"I think he was as confused by it as I was. But I could also see he was very excited by it."

"I think most guys are affected by that, or at least that's what I read."

"So you've never done anything like that I take it Layla."

"I never have. Well, except for when Eva did me that time."

"And she made you cum."

"She sure did, and I tried not to let her get to me."

"I know, I saw you on the DVD."

"Oh, that's right. It's amazing all of the experiences we've shared, and all after Mitch and I got home from here that first time. The four of us just transformed overnight and have never looked back."

"I don't want to ever go back or even look back too far. I like how we live now."

"I do too."

Once the guys were up and stirring the four of them went outside to greet the day as they sipped the last of the coffee. Wendy joined them and they ended up going for a walk around the square and then back through the small subdivision. Anita slipped her arm around Mitch and said, "You seem a little distracted this morning."

"Sorry, I guess I have been poor company, just working something through my mind."

"As long as you feel okay."

"I feel great and thank you for worrying about me." Wendy pointed out the house that Adriana and Rod had bought and where Roberta lived and that got them talking about the celebration again. They made their way back through the gate and stopped to read the sign that said it was a clothing optional community. Wendy smiled and said, "It would have been great if it would have worked." It was then that Roberta appeared coming down the street, "Morning Roberta, out for a walk?"

"Oh," and she checked out who Wendy was with. "Oh, you're...um...Buck and Mitch, and...Anita, and...oh yes, Layla."

"That's right."

"I was just so startled to see somebody else here, I got rattled."

Anita showed her best smile and said, "We just stopped to visit. How are you getting along?"

"Oh fine I guess. It gets a little lonely out here now though."

"I'm sure it does."

There was an awkward moment of silence until Mitch told her, "You look great Roberta, A little pale but great. You just need to get some sun."

"Thank you." Her eyes flicked down his body and back up to his eyes and said, "You do too Mitch."

"We were just going up to have a bloody Mary, could we talk you into joining us?"

"Oh, you don't need me butting in."

"We'd love to have you. Have you join us, I mean. We can sit out in the sun on benches and sip and talk the morning away."

"Thank you, I'd like that. I'll just go freshen up from my walk."

"We'll be there waiting for you, but take your time, because we haven't showered yet either. Of course, you could shower with us." Roberta all but giggled and said no thanks and headed home. Layla was watching them and smiling and asked him, "Are you trying to start something?"

Mitch stood up to go take his shower and said, "No. I'm just fascinated by her. We all know she plays and loves it, and yet she gets flustered and reluctant."

They all followed Mitch as Buck said, "I think I have her diagnosed."

"Tell me doc, what's her disease?"

"She wants to be a submissive."

"That's pretty far out."

"Think about it. She's all hesitant and giddy, and I think at least part of that is real. But remember her at the Playhouse? Once she was tied up, she feebly objected, but then she was all sex and desire. I'll give you odds that a little force and she'd do almost anything."

"By force, what do you mean?"

"Threaten to paddle her ass or tie her wrists behind her, any token show of force and control. Hell, it could probably be done just with commands and intimidation."

"Let me guess, you have studied this on the Internet."




It's All About Faith Pt. 08



"Yes I have, unlearned one. Well okay, I stumbled across a web site one time and they talked different types of submissive people." 


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Seven


After they showered Anita and Layla made a large pitcher of bloody Marys and they went back down to the benches. They had only had a few sips when they saw Roberta approaching the ornate gates and came toward them. "Sorry it took me so long." At least she was wearing shorts and a light top instead of long pants.

"That's okay," Mitch said. "Come sit next to me"

"I don't want to come between you and Layla."

"You're fine right, hon?"

"I see him everyday and every night Roberta." As soon as she sat down Layla handed her a tall drink and said, "Sorry, but we didn't think to buy celery."

"That's okay." Mitch's arm went around her and she looked at him out of the corner of her eye as she tasted the drink again and said, "This is very good."

Mitch was focused on her now as he thought about what Buck had said. "Roberta, what's your full name?"

"Roberta Ann Eastman."

"That's it, we'll call you Rae, because Roberta is just too formal and stuffy." He didn't ask her for permission, he just renamed her. "So it's been pretty sad around here hasn't it."

"It's so very sad. Look at the courtyard. It was so green and pretty. Now it's just tall grass and weeds. At least the trees are growing."

"Wendy says you work with Jim and Delia, how are they doing?"

"Oh okay, I guess. They just seemed to die a little when the village died." It was just awful. Everyday somebody else left or another business closed, and once it reached a certain point, everybody left like a wave. They just boxed up the best stuff and left the rest behind. A lot of them lost a lot of money too."

"But you stay because of your job."

"That and the house, I love my house and it's paid, for so I couldn't move and end up nearly as well as I am now."

"Sort of a prisoner I guess."

"In a way I am. At least with the shortcut I can get to town a lot faster." Mitch pulled her closer to him and she leaned against his shoulder as Anita asked her, "Don't you go naked?"

"No."

"Why not, this is perfect. Sad as it is to have everybody gone, at least you have the village square almost to yourself, kind like a private area."

"I guess."

"You don't like to be naked?"

"Yes...I mean I guess so...sometimes."

"Undress and join us then."

"Oh no, I really..."

"We've all seen you naked and even watched you as eight guys made love to you. I was so envious of you that night."

"Were you really?"

"Of course, weren't you Layla?"

"Most definitely, it was like I could feel what you were feeling, having all of their hands caressing you at the same time. I get hot just thinking about that." Mitch's hands were touching her more and then he started to unbutton her blouse. She looked at him and put her hand over his and said, "Oh, I don't think I should..."

"I'm going to undress you now."

"But Mitch..."

"Stand up and let me undress you or I'll paddle your naked ass." She said nothing as she stood up without taking her eyes off of him and Layla took her glass. They all passively watched as Mitch undressed her and kicked her clothes away. "Now that's much better. Look how pale you are Rae. You need to get more sun. Look at what you've done to me. My cock is hard now because of you. Do you like to tease men and make them hard?"

"No...well, sometimes I guess."

"Doesn't that make you feel good knowing I'm hard from just looking at your nakedness?"

"I'm very flattered."

"And look at Buck, you have him just as hard as I am. Go feel his cock and then mine and see if I'm wrong."

"Oh Mitch, that wouldn't be right."

"Do as I say Rae. In fact, kneel in front of Buck and kiss his cock."

"But..."

"Now, Rae. Put your hand around his cock that you've made hard and kiss it. Then come back here."

"Okay." She did as she was told and looked up at Buck as her lips touched his cock head and she held him tightly and then returned to Mitch.

"Thank you, Rae. Now do the same for me and then there's something else you have to do." All three women were watching the proceedings in near amazement, but especially Wendy. She seemed fascinated by what she was witnessing.

When Rae was done, Mitch looked at the other women and then at Rae and told her, "I want you to go around and kiss each of the women on the lips and then between their legs. Kiss them warmly and use you tongue, understand? Do it now Rae, and I'll do something for you."

Layla stared at Mitch trying to decide if she should believe what she thought she had just heard. But Rae obediently bent down and tenderly kissed Layla and slipped her tongue into her mouth. Layla returned the kiss without thinking as her hands went to Rae's shoulders. Then just as smoothly Rae knelt between Layla's legs, spread them wide and went to her task. Layla looked down and could hardly believe that she had a woman's head between her legs and an instant later felt Rae's warm wet tongue divide Layla's pussy lips and tasted her sweet slit. When she stood up she just looked into Layla's eyes, smiled meekly and turned to Anita and repeated the performance as all of them looked on.

Wendy was next and it seemed that Wendy got a little extra time and effort. Perhaps hoping the two of them could be together again one day. Wendy closed her eyes and put her hands on the back of Rae's head in an encouraging gesture. When Rae finally stood up, Wendy pulled her down and they kissed again and whispered thank you to her.

When Rae returned to Mitch he asked her, "What would you like for your reward? You've done very well and deserve something."

"I don't know."

"Yes you do. Be honest and tell me. If you don't, I'm going to send you home."

"Fuck me, Mitch."

"That's better, Rae. Okay, go get one of the mats off of the stack and pick a spot for us." Rae didn't hesitate and as the others stared at Mitch and then toward Rae she pulled a mat from the top of the pile and delivered it to the middle of the street. 

"Here, Mitch."

"Lie on your back for me and spread your legs as wide as you can. All of us want to see your pussy open up wide." Again without words, Rae did as ordered and even used her hands to open her pussy more for her superiors pleasure. Mitch went over and knelt between her legs and told her, "Rae, you are very nice looking and very desirable and you did very well. Of course I'll learn from Wendy and the others if you did a good job of kissing and eating them. But I'll assume you did, and I will do the same for you now." It all sounded so scheduled and clinical but Mitch was having a great time as they watched their experiment succeed beyond all expectations. He lay on his belly then and did as he said and ate Rae as her knees bent up and her hands went to Mitch's head as he tasted her and sucked on her clit until she was squirming under him.

He moved up and slipped his cock into her and asked her, "Is this what you want, Rae?"

"Yes, this is what I really want. I want to feel your cock inside of me." 

He continued to move in and out slowly as he told her, "The next time we come back here we'll do something like this again, but you have to do something for me."

"I will."

"Everyday that It's warm, I want you to come home from work and strip naked. Then walk back up and around the square in the nude. Then you can sit and read or even better read and touch yourself or walk more for exercise."

"Everyday?"

"Unless you don't feel well, I'll make it easy for you for now. Just strip at home, walk to and around the square and then you can decide if you'll stay or go home unless Wendy comes out." He continued to tease both of them with his cock as he added, "If Wendy comes out, you do what she says to do. Then when we come back we'll all talk, okay? Do that for me and I won't spank your ass."

"I'll do as you ask," and he increased his strokes in and out. 

"I do like your pussy, Rae."

"I'm glad. Is it okay if I share it with Buck sometimes?"

"Of course."

"Mitch, are you my master?"

"All of us are your masters or mistresses."

"Yes sir." Mitch was tired of talking and teasing so he got serious then and started banging into her as her head went back and she whispered and muttered unintelligibly. Rae jumped in and out of an orgasm and then back into one again as he pushed hard and shot into her.

He lowered himself onto her then and kissed her gently and told her, "You are all woman Rae, thank you."

"No, thank you Mitch, this was wonderful."

"I'm glad." Then he whispered to her, "Do you think you should go kiss the women and thank them for allowing us to be together?"

"Yes I should do that."

"Be sure to really kiss them understand?"

"I want to please all of you and show my appreciation."

"Perfect," and he got up and then helped her to her feet. As she promised Rae went from woman to woman and kissed her deeply and thanked them all including Wendy.

The women were past their surprise and even returned her kiss and each of them said something to her as they shared an embrace. Rae looked down and said, "If you will excuse me I'll go home and take a shower. I seem to have some of Mitch running down my thigh. Do you want me to come back here?"

"That's up to you," Anita told her. "We're leaving by mid afternoon but I'm sure Wendy would be happy to see you."

"Of course I would Rae, but it's up to you. If not, I'll see you tomorrow when you come up to the square." Rae smiled and walked toward home with her back straighter and her shoulders back and left her clothes where they had been tossed.

Mitch slapped Buck's hand and said, "Doc, your diagnosis was dead on."

"Thank you and you did a great job proving that."


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Eight


They were well on their way back to Scranton when Layla asked Mitch, "What were you and Wendy talking about?"

"Oh, I just told her that we'd be back one day soon and I got her e-mail address and phone number and she said our apartment would be there for us."

"We're going back again just so we can hang around naked and you can have Roberta, or rather, Rae or Wendy?"

"Nope., but I did get the impression that you really enjoyed being naked out there again."

"Of course I did. I think all of us did, but only for so long. I mean there is nothing else to do there."

"I agree to a point, but with more time I think things could be created for fun."

"That's pretty hard to do in a ghost town."

"Well there's Rod and Adriana."

"Sometimes."

"You sound a little edgy."

"That damn little village has a lot of history in case you've forgotten."

"I haven't forgotten, but the village you're talking about just doesn't exist anymore. Not the people, the stores or anything else for that matter. It could and maybe should be renamed in fact."

"To what and why?"

"I don't know what and just for the hell of it. What would all of you name it?" There were no names forthcoming but all of them were now thinking about it.

"It could be called Comstock, its real name," Anita suggested.

"That would save on confusion."

"So getting back to going back there, I take it you want to."

"Well not right now, but yes I would."

The foursome went back to their routines again and Discovery didn't even come up in their conversations very often. That is until one evening when the four of them were having dinner at the Pathfinder Steak House. Mitch stirred things up when he asked Layla, "What would you say if I were to tell you I was going to go see Faith to talk business?"

"Would this conversation be between the sheets?"

"Nope, in fact, it would take place at the Red Lobster in Williamsport."

"What is this business that you want to talk to her about? She isn't exactly on good terms with about everybody in that whole area."

"I know and that just might work to our favor."

"Okay, just spit it out."

"I haven't met them yet, but there is a couple that just might be interested in one of the condos at Discovery."

"You don't even cover that area so how did that happen?"

I got this idea while we were there and I've been chewing on it ever sense. I sent a memo around to the other offices that anybody looking for a very nice hideaway, a place to escape to or whatever I wanted to talk to them and so forth."

"Isn't that cheating them out a commission if the couple buys?"

"I'd make it worth their while, of course, but I'd do all the work."

"I don't know how you think you can sell any of those out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do but sure, go for it."

"Buck, Anita, do you think I'm crazy?"

"Of course we do," Buck said. "But like Layla said, go for it and God's speed to ya. So when are you going to call her?"

"I'm going to see her tomorrow about noon at the Red Lobster in Williamsport."

Layla looked at him and said, "Now wait a minute. You already planned to see her even before you asked me?"

"I knew you'd say yes honey, but I also knew it would not be smart to not ask you."

"You're walking a fine line there, so about this couple?"

"Let me talk to Faith, and then assuming that goes well, I'll tell you three all about it, everything. If my meeting with Faith bombs, I'll still tell you but with less detail."

"Well, the basics aren't hard to visualize, but that old saying is still true. The devil is in the details and there will be a whole truckload of details."

"I've been working on those details steadily since we got home."

Mitch was on the road the next morning and found the Red Lobster by eleven thirty. He waited in his car until about eleven forty five, and then went in and garnered a corner table, and the hostess would see that Faith would find him. He sat there and waited for her with a glass of merlot in front of him. Not because he was crazy about merlot wines, but because he thought the long stem glass full of deep red wine would look right for the occasion. She was a fashionable five minutes late and came breezing over to his table and he stood up to greet her. "Faith, it's good to see you again. I know I'm stating the obvious, but you look fantastic."

"Thank you, Mitch. You remember Peggy I'm sure."

"Now who could forget Peggy? Good to see you again and you look even better than the last time I saw you."

"Thank you, Mitch," and they ordered their drinks.

"Faith...before anything else I want to tell you how heartbroken I was when I saw the village about three weeks ago."

"Thanks. I hate to even talk about that now, Mitch."

"I really do understand. I stood there and remembered it as it was my first time there and Hank and all of that. Then I remembered it as it was for the celebration. But I also saw it in a different way. As you know, our group of four always loved that village and for many reasons."

I know you did. Wendy told me you had stopped in there on a whim one day and stayed overnight."

"We did and thank you for allowing that to happen by the way."

"Sure, anytime you're in that middle of nowhere area."

"I got the impression that the warehousing function is still alive and well."

"That's the only part that is thriving. We're breaking ground in the fall for another one in fact and the space is leased as of about an hour ago."

"Then congratulations are in order." 

"So what was this other vision for the village that you mentioned?"

"By a very strange coincidence a couple came into one of my offices the other day and they are seeking a place to buy, a second home, or as they called it a retreat. The more I learned about them the more I could see them in one of those condos."

"Mitch, you must have misread them."

"I'm very good at reading my customers, Faith. That's how I make my living. Now here's where it gets tricky. Working with the people in the Wilkes-Barre office I've been trying to learn more about them with subtle questions and attempts at humor of the more adult variety. I must say they responded just as I hoped they would."

"So what you're saying is they might like the idea of waltzing around bare assed."

"That's it exactly. Of course, that hasn't been said in so many words. Okay Faith, let me put my cards on the table so we can all see them. I know you have millions tied up in all of that new construction and I'm not so delusional as to think I would recoup your losses for you. But I think that if we can agree on a contract for the housing there, and well maybe even the commercial buildings, I just may be able to recover a percentage of those losses for you." 

"What kind of percentages are you talking?"

"This is the hard part, Faith. At best, I'm only talking about forty percent of your projected value at time of construction."

"My God Mitch, you're still saying I'll lose millions."

"I'm afraid so. But remember that you're paying taxes on that property right now. The longer those buildings sit empty, the less value they will have. Also remember that selling any of those homes is going to take some magic on my part. A ten percent magic in fact."

"Mitch, are you trying to screw me?"

"Not at all, I will have to go up there and try to restore the village square. I'll have to clean up there and remove the boards over the windows. I'll have to have the homes cleaned top to bottom, and as if that weren't enough, I'll have to find a way to find buyers that want to run around bare assed in front of their neighbors. In other words, I'll spend a lot of money, time, and effort screening any potential buyers. Some of those homes in a more favorable location could easily bring close to four hundred thousand. But where they are? No chance in hell. Maybe one seventy, and that's only if I can get the clients drunk first."

"Or screw the wife and make the husband think it was a good idea."

Mitch smiled and said, "That's one ploy I think I'll stay away from, too many possible complications."

"So you're saying I could recover a whole two mil? That's it?"

"Give or take, but that's a hell of a lot better than losing four mil plus the ongoing tax and maintenance bill."

"And all you get is your ten percent."

"My ten percent minus all of my expenses, which by the way, will be considerable, at least by my standards. Oh there is one other thing."

"I was sure there would be, but go ahead."

"To help bait the suckers," and the Mitch smiled at his choice of words, "I'd like to see if there is anything still in the old hardware store that I can use to clean up the place or maybe use as trinkets to give the buyers."

"Assuming we can come to an agreement, sure, anything you can find in any of those shells you can have. Wendy has the keys for everything."

"So you wouldn't mind it she took me through the old businesses then."

"Of course not, have at it. But if that would impact our agreement, do that before I see your proposal."

"That wouldn't change anything. I'll get the proposal to you tomorrow at the latest. The trinkets would just be an added incentive when selling a house or a store front."

"What the hell would anybody want with those storefronts?"

"A very good question that I can't begin to answer, but my motto is always be prepared for the unexpected when it comes to real estate."

"That's good advice for everyday Mitch." 

They stopped long enough to enjoy their lunch and coffee and then Faith looked at Peggy and asked her, "What do you think of all of this?"

"We'd have to see the proposal of course, but I think there's a chance you two could do business. We know you Mitch, and know you have a personal interest in that place. We know that with a contract, we're all bound by those terms. Trust, but verify, as Ronald Reagan said." 

"Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see. I want to see change in the village, so working with you maybe, just maybe, we can make that happen. It will never be a town again, but if we could sell even half of the homes, you'd get a few dollars of your investment back, and I'd make enough commission to make it worth my while and at the same time make the place look just a little bit better." 




It's All About Faith Pt. 08



"Which in turn might help to sell more of those houses."

"Exactly right, the whole key will be if I can get the word out to the right people only. I can't be taking a lot of voyeurs out there hoping to see naked people on the pretense of wanting to buy a house. We also can't have anybody living there that wouldn't approve of that lifestyle, because that could destroy everything. Faith, I'm not being cavalier about your losses. But since it's not my money, it's easier for me to see this with a more objective eye. I'll never lie to you or ever cheat you and I'd assume and expect the same from you. We have too much history to fuck this up now."

Faith smiled at his choice of words and added, "That was always one of Max's favorite ways to say it. We're into this too deeply to fuck it up now. I can still hear him saying that."

Mitch raised his cup and said, "To Max then," and he sipped the last of his cold coffee.

"So tell me Mitch, just how did you four happen to end up there that day?"

"We were going to go find a place to just crash and use the pool and be waited on for the weekend, but we decided to just drive through there first, a whim. Then we talked to Wendy and spent the night...oh, and we saw Roberta and learned that Adriana and Rod bought a place there."

"They did and they aren't all that happy with me now either. And yes, I did hear about you and Roberta, or as you renamed her Rae."

Mitch smiled and asked her, "And just how much did you hear?"

"Oh, enough to put a smile on our faces, sounds like it was an interesting morning."

"It was a lot of fun." Faith and Peggy stood to go and Mitch asked, "Peggy, how are you and Dan getting along?" 

She smiled and said, "Pretty well as a matter of fact."

"Good, I think you two were meant for each other."

Peggy laughed somewhat loudly and then covered her mouth. "You are just too funny, Mitch." 

Mitch went home feeling very good about how their meeting went and looked forward to a challenging project that could end up spanning some period of time. He reviewed his proposal and made some modifications one last time and then sent it to Faith. All he could do now was wait and hope.


Chapter One Hundred Twenty Nine


Mitch got the proposal back by e-mail the next day with the note saying get the contract written up and up to Faith for a final review. Mitch did that and the next day hired Roy, a kid he knew, to drive the packet all the way up to Faith's and to wait for her signature, or her word of rejection. Roy followed the instructions to the letter. When he handed the packet to Faith he said, "Ma'am, if you decide to sign that I'm to confirm you are the person named therein and that I'm to witness the signature." Faith just smiled and nodded and the maid led him to a sitting area while they document was studied top to bottom. Faith liked the way Mitch did business, personable, but still all business.

Mitch was so confident that the four of them went back to the steak house for dinner and drinks so he could tell them his story. They had barely tasted their before dinner drink when Mitch said, "Well, here's the deal. The contract is signed sealed and delivered. I now have exclusive selling rights to all of the property."

"That's about as impressive as saying you have exclusive rights to sell the slums. Nobody's likely to buy."

"I interviewed a couple today in fact, Nigel and Winnie." Buck laughed and almost choked on his drink. "I'm serious. As he put it, 'as you can tell, we're from across the pond as they say'. They moved here from London some years ago and he goes by Jeff now because people react to his real name just like you just did Buck. Anyway, our first interview went beautifully. That's the good news."

"And the bad news," Anita asked.

"The bad new is I have to go up there and clean up that damn town square."

"By yourself? That will take days if not longer."

"I'm not looking forward to it, but it has to be cleaned up before I can take anybody up there. Plus, I have to get the damn plywood down from the store windows so it doesn't look so derelict."

"You have yourself in a mess now."

"I e-mailed Wendy to see if there is anybody in the warehouses that might want some extra work on the weekend. Oh, and I have full rights to the contents of the buildings, whatever the hell that amounts to."

"It might be fun to poke around through all of those."

"It will more likely be heart breaking."

"Well I have more bad news honey," Layla said.

"What's that?"

"I can't go with you. I'm on the air this weekend, remember?"

"Shit. Well, I still have to go. But if Wendy can find somebody it won't be so bad."

"Buck told him, "If Wendy doesn't come through, Nita and I can help."

"Thanks but no. This is business not personal."

"Yeah well if you're in trouble that makes it personal so deal with it."

Layla looked a little sad as she said, "I'll be the only one here then."

"Listen, I won't be good for a lot so I'll stay with Layla and you guys go get grubby."

"That's okay, Nita, I was just pouting out loud."

"They don't need me up there, and if they work hard enough, Wendy and Rae won't be too much of a distraction."

Buck told them, "If we can get that square cleaned up in one weekend we won't be in any shape to even blow them a kiss."

By four o'clock Friday afternoon Mitch had his lawnmower, three gallons of gas, and his bag of tools loaded and the two men headed to Discovery. On their way up Buck said, "You know there's a decent chance that your puny mower won't be up to the task of knocking down that mess."

"I know. If that is the case I'll see if Wendy knows some farmer that would come tackle it for a fee."

"That wouldn't be cheap I'm sure."

"I'm sure that's true. Another problem is, it's going to be hard to behave up there."

"And you had the foresight to see that Rae will be naked for us too."

"Seemed like a very good idea at the time." They stopped in New Renovo for dinner and groceries and then on to Discovery. That's when they received their first surprise. "Damn Buck check that out, the square is mowed now how the hell?"

"I suspect Wendy will have that answer for us, but I love whoever is behind it."

They were putting their groceries away when Wendy popped in and said, "Hey, the first order of business is to get naked remember?"

Mitch threw his arms around her and kissed before asking, "Is it you that we thank for mowing the courtyard?"

"Thank you for that greeting and in a way yes, I'm the one you thank. I talked to Peggy and she agreed to keep the town square mowed for the time being. With their farm equipment it doesn't take them an hour. You do still have a mess to clean up however."

"You've saved us a whole lot of misery."

"Peggy told me about your...project I'll call it. If you can pull that off I'll be so thankful, not to mention amazed."

"Think positive my sweet."

"As I understand it you're contracted to sell the whole damn mess."

"I am indeed, piece by piece or one chunk, however it works out. All of the property stays with the houses so that protects anybody that might live here. The commercial buildings can be sold of course, but the property belongs to the home association yet to be established."

"You do realize that means I'll be kicked out of my free housing."

"We just may be able to work something out so don't start packing just yet. Besides the odds aren't good that all of this will sell. Hell, I'll celebrate if half of the homes sell."

Oh I almost forgot, Layla called and you are to call Debbie tonight yet. I have her number."

"Thank you, I better do that before it gets any later." A minute later she answered and he said, "It's me, what's up?" He listened and smiled and then said, "Okay, but tell them one o'clock Sunday and then hung up. "I'm showing the houses Sunday at one."

"Damn that's fast."

"That's the couple I told you about Buck. Damn, we have to get things done now."

"I'll start on the store windows in the morning."

"I'll go see if there's a wheelbarrow or something at the hardware store."

"I'll help you, Mitch," Wendy said.

"You certainly don't have to. You've done a lot just getting the square mowed."

"It will be good to do something like that again."


Chapter One Hundred Thirty


While Buck and Mitch were getting settled, Anita and Layla were watching TV and sipping wine. "You seem a little quiet Layla, you worried about Mitch up there with Wendy and Rae?"

"No. They have a lot more to get done than they realized so they will be plenty busy, especially with the Sunday showing."

"There's no way they can be ready, but maybe Mitch can charm them past all of that. So are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine. Nita what did...how did you feel about what Mitch had Rae do to us."

Anita smiled and said, "Or for us perhaps. I didn't mind it at all. I take it you didn't like that."

"I don't know. We've talked about this before I know, but...I don't know."

"The kissing or her going between your legs?"

"Both but of course mostly the latter, I mean okay; I know a lot of women do that or at least I assume so. But I'm also sure that a lot of women have no interest or are even offended by the whole idea."

"I'm sure you're right."

"But you and Carly enjoyed it."

"Well, before it was over I certainly did. Layla...would you like to see what...you know what it's like."

"I don't know."

"But it's on your mind more and more isn't it."

"Well, more than before that's for sure."

"Then let's undress each other and just touch and kiss and see where it takes us." Rather than answer Layla put her half empty glass down and stood up and looked at her best friend and Nita smiled and stood up and helped Layla to remove her top. Once both of them were naked they came together in a long embrace and Anita softly said, "We have all night. In fact, we have all weekend so there's no reason for us to hurry if we don't want to." Layla's hands were caressing and exploring Nita's back and then down to her butt.

"You feel so different than Buck or Mitch. So soft and you smell of scented soap."

"Would you touch my breasts?" Layla looked into Nita's eyes and brought her hands around and touched and took her time to get acquainted with Anita's breasts as Anita did the same with her. Anita licked her lips and started to say something but changed her mind and kissed Layla and that kiss lasted as they tasted each other and they continued to touch and caress each other.

Layla showed no signs of stopping as they stopped kissing long enough to look into each other's eyes as they teased nipples. 

"Nita, let's go lie down," and Layla took her hand and led them to the bedroom. They continued to touch and kiss and then nearly holding her breath Layla's hand moved down until she found Anita's mound and gently ran her fingers over Anita's pussy lips. "I can't believe I'm doing this and enjoying it."

"I like what you're doing and you're making me wet." Anita reached down and did the same to Layla and closed her eyes for a second. Layla slipped a finger between Anita's lips and felt her warm dampness as Nita said, "Taste me. Put your finger to your mouth now and taste me." There were no undoing things now. Layla put the tip of her finger to her own tongue and tasted her friend. Then she smiled softly as her hand went back down and dipped into Anita's pussy and came back with two fingers of Anita's pussy juices and sucked them clean. "Layla, you're really getting to me now." Layla smiled and then moved around until she could see what exactly she was doing as she touched and explored between Anita's lips. 

Anita moved around and spread her legs wide, and Layla moved close so she could look at Anita's lips and kissed them before fingering the inner lips, and then kissed her again. She'd gone too far to stop now. Now on her belly between her legs Layla moved closer to her and reached out with her tongue. An instant later she had her lips to Anita's pussy and she was licking and tasting her as deeply as she could, "Oh God, Layla, that feels so good, don't stop." It wasn't long before Anita couldn't lie still, and that urged Layla on as she touched and tasted her friend. Anita told her she was going to cum and a few seconds later it happened. Anita raised her hips to her friend's lips and her hands grabbed the bed covers until her body finally relaxed. Anita was eager to return the favor, but she had to make sure that Layla was okay with what had just happened.

Layla moved back up and they shared a soft kiss before Anita told her, "Thank you, that was great. You were great." Layla smiled and Anita asked her, "You okay with it?"

"I'm fine, I'm glad you liked it."

"I loved it. I love you too, but I'm anxious to return the favor if you'll let me."

I'd like that, Nita." They kissed again only longer and deeper before Anita moved down and did her best to please Layla. There was no doubt. Neither of them would ever be quite the same again and the weekend had just begun. In fact, late Saturday morning they called Carly to see how she was getting along and within the hour the three of them were meeting at the Olive Garden for lunch. 

They didn't even have their coffee yet when Anita asked her, "So what's the latest between you and Gabe?"

"We're separated."

"Oh damn, I'm sorry."

"Thanks. We're still seeing each other so who knows."

"Would it help to talk about it?"

"Not really. We'll just have to see where things go. You know time and maybe a little growing up."

"Well if either of us can help just call."

"It helps just hearing from you. By the way where are your studs?" That answer required a lot of time but at the end Carly smiled and said, "That village is amazing. It's like it's alive and refuses to die. It just rises from its own ashes so maybe it should be called Phoenix. So the guys are up there with Wendy."

"And Roberta, or as we call her now, Rae."

"Well, give them a hug and a kiss for me."

"We'll do that. Listen, since you're unattached now why don't we go back to Layla's and spend the rest of the day together." 

Before the day was done Layla and Anita had shown Carly what it was like for three women to experience sex together and promises were made to get together again. Before Carly left very late in the evening she said, "I still love Buck and Mitch's cocks, but what we just shared was wonderful in its own way."


Chapter One Hundred Thirty One


Wendy and the two men talked over drinks and then Mitch said, "Wendy, my love I think it would be very nice if you were to sleep between us tonight."

She smiled and said, "Now I have to admit, that is something I've never done."

"Then it's past due don't you think?"

"Long past due in fact." 

Buck and Mitch were still in their shorts and shirts so she helped them to strip and the three of them got into bed with Wendy between them. With two men kissing her and making sure she was teased, fingered and kissed, it wasn't long before she was very ready for either or both of them. She was propped up against the headboard and Mitch was straddling her with his cock in her mouth and Buck was between her legs sampling her honey and slipping fingers into her. It was late, and all three of them had worked hard all day, but they lasted long enough for her to see that her men were totally satisfied as well as her experiencing almost more than she could handle. 

Saturday morning, Wendy called Rae and told her what was happening and that they needed her help, so she soon appeared naked except for ragged white walking shoes. Buck told her, "You will be helping me today okay?"

"Yes of course," and after breakfast the two couples each went their own way. Buck had the large ring of keys, so they started at the bottom of the steps and started removing the plywood and stacking it inside of each store as they went along. When they worked on the street side, Buck, wearing only shorts worked outside and he handed the plywood through the door to Rae. They worked for about an hour and a half and then took a break and went up to get ice cold Pepsi's from the fridge. 

"Thank you for helping us, Rae. You didn't have to you know."

"That's what Wendy said but I wanted to."

"You look very sexy by the way, have you been sunning?"

"A little with Wendy, you know out on the benches."

"Right, what do you think of the idea you might have more neighbors?"

"Buck, I'd love it. I get so lonely out here by myself. Even if I didn't see the neighbors very often, just knowing they were around would be wonderful."

"Too bad we can't be your neighbors."

"I'd really like that. So somebody is coming to look tomorrow right?"

"That's right."

"I hope they buy one. Should I go dust and sweep the houses?"

"You'd do that?"

"Of course, that's not a big job but I'm sure they need that."

"That was on our list of things to do."

"You have more list than you have time for Buck."

"But somewhere in there I'd like it if we just had some time to enjoy each other's company too."

"I'd like that."

"Okay then, spend the night with me tonight."

She smiled and told him, "I was hoping you might suggest that."

"You seem to be more comfortable in the nude now."

"I am. I did it to please Mitch, and...well, all of you, but now I'd rather be like this."

"You know, sometime when you and I are alone and we have some time I'd love to hear your story."

"My story?"

"Where you're from, how you ended up here, you know just your story."

"I can't imagine why you would care."

"Because I see a very sensitive and intelligent woman, when I look at you."

"I'm a mental case and we both know it."

"I don't agree at all. Don't look now, but we all carry a certain about of mental instability around with us. We all come with baggage that we don't want to open."

"Maybe we better get back to work."

"We probably should."

Mitch and Wendy were hauling loads of grass and weed clippings to the end and dumping them behind the hardware store smothering those weeds in the process. They were dusty, dirty, and sweaty, but they were talking and getting a lot done and even had fun. Wendy stopped and went to fix all of them some lunch, and about half an hour later Mitch quit and went in to wash up. Buck and Rae soon joined them and they talked through mouthfuls of sandwiches, chips and iced tea. Rae told them she was going over to dust and sweep the homes and Buck said he'd keep at what he was doing. The rest of their day was hard dirty work with Buck picking up three slivers for his efforts.

Saturday night they showered and just lay in bed talking because they were so exhausted, and Buck and Rae fell asleep in each other's arms. Wendy and Mitch lasted a little longer, but they too were soon asleep and nobody stirred into almost eight in the morning.

Rae stirred and stretched her arms over her head and Buck just lay there and watched her breasts pull up. "Buck, it's too bad you're married because I could learn to like waking up next to you."

He kissed her and said, "You're pretty easy to wake up to as well, love."

"We only have a little over four hours before company comes."

"If we're lucky they won't stay too long and we can have a little time before we have to leave."

"I like that thought. Okay, it's my turn to cook so I'll fix breakfast for us."

"You don't have to, Rae."

"I'd like to though." She touched his face and said, "You go get rid of that stubble and I'll get to work."

"I'll hurry because I want to watch you cook while you're naked."

"Just don't try to start anything because I won't be able to resist and we have work to do and not much time."


Chapter One Hundred Thirty Two


The four of them quit at noon, cleaned up and had a quick lunch. Wendy kissed Mitch for luck, and then kissed Buck saying that was for fun and then went to her apartment. Rae did the same thing and she and Mitch talked for a minute and then she kissed and whispered to Buck, "I hope Mitch is successful, but I hope we can have some time together without working."




It's All About Faith Pt. 08



He patted her ass and told her, "I have a good feeling that we will have at least a little while. Now take your sexy body home and rest okay?"

"Yes sir, bye," and she too left.

He watched her leave and then said, "Damn, she can turn on the sex when she wants to."

"She seems to have thing for you, stud."

"She lives out here by herself, so she has to be a little vulnerable."

"Maybe so, but be careful."

"Hell the last thing I need is another Kali in my life."

When they hit the bottom of the stairs Mitch said, "I'm going to buy a couple of sets of outdoor furniture and set them up out here along the parking area, sort of a wide open gathering point. I think that will add to the look when somebody comes up here to look at the houses. Buck, I have other ideas too assuming I can sell at least a few of these houses. Maybe we can talk about them on the way home."

"Well, while you are charming that couple out of their money I'll be taking down more of that plywood." 

"Well, don't overdue it, because we'll have more time now." Mitch's clients appeared at the end of the square and Mitch waved to them as Buck retreated into the background. The car eased down the street and Mitch walked to the driver's side and the window came down. "Welcome, I trust you found your way okay."

"Very nice directions."

"Excellent, just park wherever you want and we'll start the tour." Mitch followed them and then stepped to the passenger's side and held the door for Winnie. "Good to see you again Winnie, and dare I say you look very nice."

"Thank you, Mitch."

With him guiding them, he stopped at the gates and said, "As you can see the whole housing area is protected by this security gate. You have to have a pass card to get in or out. The small pedestrian gate isn't locked however." He pointed to the sign so there would be no misunderstanding and said, "As you can see it is a clothing optional community. I'll take you down the first condominium on the left and then we'll go from there. I believe I told you they range in size from eighteen hundred square feet to twenty four hundred square feet, each a little different and professionally decorated and furnished. None have been lived in either so they are all new. There are presently only two that are occupied. One by a single woman that is here full time and another house has a couple that comes up here for short stays. I know them and they are a great couple, but I haven't seen them here since they bought the house. I currently have one other couple that shows some interest," which was a bold faced lie, but he was convincing as they walked along and he filled them with information, most of which was true.

"Wendy lives in an apartment up front and she's sort of the caretaker of this whole development. She's a great go to person if you have problems in terms of where you might go to find things and she's home most evenings during the week. She knows where some of the former tenants are now and those people could be a big help because they know the whole story and what it's like to live here."

"And they moved away, why again?"

"Simple economics, they just couldn't make a living so far out in the country." They went through the first home, and Winnie and Jeff really studied the home, touching the furniture and looking up at the fixtures and down at the floor coverings. "Of course, you would want to give your new home all of your own touches to make it feel more like home, but this is a charming place."

"And the price of this one?"

"Two hundred and twenty seven thousand is all. Approximately half of what it's true worth is."

"And that is the total price."

"Correct. The seller pays my commission so all you have are your closing costs. Now as the community grows it's a pretty safe bet you'll want to establish an association of some kind. You know to take care of the common areas and maintain the security gates, that sort of thing. I'll see to those details for up to one year from now or you have an association, whichever comes first. The commercial buildings you saw will be maintained by the current owner so you have no worry there." On they went to the next condo and then the next. They were in the living room and looking out through the picture window when Rae came walking down the sidewalk bare assed and strutting in her high heels. 

Jeff watched her as she strutted her stuff and said, "What the bloody hell."

"Nigel, please," Winnie said in a reprimanding tone.

"Come see for yourself, Winnie." 

She was there in time to see Rae's backside and said, "Oh my God, it really is clothing optional." 

Mitch was at the door in a flash and called out, "Rae, do you have a minute?"

She turned and said, "Oh Hi Mitch, I didn't expect to see you back here."

"I have somebody I'd like you to meet." As she neared, they shared sweet smiles and he stepped back and invited her in. "Winnie, Jeff this is Roberta, but we call her Rae. She lives just a few doors down from here in one of the townhouses." Winnie managed to extend her hand and smile as she said hello, but she almost had to nudge Jeff to respond. Then he got control of himself and smiled until he almost hurt himself and took her hand in both of his. 

"Very nice to meet you, Rae."

"Nice to meet both of you, I hope you're enjoying your tour and will consider becoming a resident here with me." Mitch almost had to look away to hide his smile.

"We're certainly giving it our every consideration."

"Wonderful. If you want to know what it's like out here, I'd be happy to answer any of your questions. I'm just on my way up to one of the benches to sun for a little bit."

"Thank you, that's very generous of you and I'm sure we'll appreciate your candid opinions on things."

"Well, if you'll excuse me I'll be on my way, nice to meet both of you."

"Very nice to meet you, Rae," all three of them watched Rae leave and Mitch had to remember to thank her for wearing heels because her ass swayed so provocatively that he was having trouble focusing on what he was supposed to be doing. "I dare say," Jeff said, "That was a pleasant surprise."

"She frequently goes up to the square to sun or visit Wendy."

"Naked?"

"If it's warm and not raining, she'll likely always be naked or nearly so."

"Jeff, remember dear, we're looking to buy a second home not the sexy neighbor." He just smiled and kissed her lightly. Mitch was pretty sure he had it figured out. If she called him Jeff all was well, but if she called him Nigel, he'd done something to displease her. She just called him Jeff so all was good, maybe even very good.

Winnie moved closer to Mitch then and just to confirm things she said, "So I could just undress and walk out and about without a concern."

"You certainly could and feel free to do that as we look around. I'd enjoy seeing you." She looked at him in surprise, but she was smiling as he said, "Sorry, that didn't come out quite right. I mean..." and she kissed his cheek.

"I think I know what you mean, but I'll go with what you said and see that as a compliment."

"Well, I have to be very careful what I say so as not to offend."

"And what would you say if given the liberty to speak your mind."

"Then with all respect and assuming your husband's permission I'd have to go back to what I actually did say. I'd love to see you leave here naked."

"Jeff, what do you have to say to all of this?"

"I'd have to say I'd love to see that as well."

"Who all is here right now, Mitch?" 

"Well there's Wendy that I told you about, and I don't know where she is. There's Rae of course, me and my best friend, who's up there someplace helping me with a project."

"That's all."

"That's everybody. Why don't I just step outside and let the two of you talk. Then if you desire we could look at one of the townhouses. They range in the twelve to fourteen hundred square feet range."

"I doubt that we'd be interested in the townhouses, but yes, perhaps Jeff and I should have a moment to chat."

"Of course, I'll just be up near your car so take your time. There is one more thing I'd like to point out before I go. As the homes sell, the prices will go up, because with more people in the community it will become more attractive and of course the choice in homes will diminish." With that said Mitch went out and closed the door behind him and smiled his way up to Rae. 

He walked straight up to her and pulled her to her feet and gave her a warm hug and a kiss. "Did I do it right, Mitch?"

"Rae honey, you were perfect and thank you. The high heel idea was perfect too. If this works I'll owe you a present of some kind at the least."

"Do you think they will buy one?"

"I think it's bad luck to make those predictions but when I left, Winnie was flirting with me and they were both smiling."

"I really do hope they buy something."

"I do too love. Where's Buck?"

"Down just past Alice's taking down the last of the plywood there."

"I'll be right back and if Jeff and Winnie come up tell them I'll be right back," and Mitch took off at a run. It was only three stores down so in seconds he was in the backdoor and calling Buck's name.

"Up front, you all done?"

"Not yet but I gotta talk to you for a sec."

While he was talking to Buck, Winnie and Jeff appeared and sat down across from Rae. "Mitch asked me to tell you that he'd be right back."

"That's okay," Jeff said smiling. Winnie was watching her husband and she as well as Rae noticed his erection pushing against his expensive looking shorts.

"I hope you do buy here. I think you'd be great neighbors and I'm sure you'd like it here."

"You don't work for Mitch do you," Winnie asked.

"Oh no, we met sometime back and have become good friends is all."

"So...does Mitch, or whoever walks around here naked?"

"Oh yes, I've seen Mitch naked many times. I even had dinner with him and Wendy and Buck last night."

"Naked."

"Oh yes, quite naked, all of us. We really do enjoy this lifestyle and Mitch is very dedicated to preserving this little piece of heaven. He must be to be selling those homes so cheaply."

"Yes, about that."

"Well the original owner, as I understand it, either lost interest in the project or made some bad business decisions so they want out. They will recoup some of their money...not all by any means, but some, and Mitch will earn his commission, but more important to him I think is that will permit him to do more for the development."

"Sounds very noble for the people involved and for future buyers."

"I think he's a wonderful guy. Don't misunderstand me though. I know he's married and she is a wonderful woman too, very attractive and outgoing." 

Jeff asked her, "So does his wife come up here and enjoy this lifestyle?"

"As often as she can. So does his best friend's wife and she's quite attractive as well. Wendy is as cute as she can be too, and if you're around here much you'll certainly meet her. She's almost always naked."

Winnie looked at her husband and gave him a crooked smile. "Just settle down honey," she told him.


Chapter One Hundred Thirty Three


Mitch was totally unaware of the sales job that Rae was doing for him as he left Buck and raced back to join the threesome on the benches. "One more second," Mitch called to them and he raced up the steps and straight to Wendy's apartment and went in without knocking, ""Wendy, where the hell are you?"

"My God, I'm in the bathroom. Give me a minute, okay?"

"Just join us downstairs as fast as you can."

"Mind if I wipe and wash my hands first?"

"Okay, but hurry," and he ran back downstairs and paused to catch his breath for a minute. Then he casually strolled over to them oozing apologies and sat next to Rae and smiled at her. "Sorry to leave you three like this."

"That's quite all right," Jeff said, "Rae has been very helpful and entertaining."

"I'm glad to hear that. I...oh good there's Wendy, I was hoping you would get to meet her." Wendy was calm and smiling as she joined them and once again Jeff and Winnie stared. Wendy was naked and even had a gold chain around her waist with a bauble dangling teasingly toward her mound. "Wendy, I'm glad you came down, "This is Winnie and Jeff. I've been showing them around the condos."

"Wonderful, I'd kill to have one of those beautiful places."

"Did you have any questions for Wendy," Mitch asked them.

"Wendy," Winnie asked, "Do you live here year around?"

"Oh yes. The winter months are pretty brown, and of course far too cold to be naked outdoors, but we don't see a large amount of snow. It just helps me to appreciate spring when it arrives. I have a special wardrobe that I wear when there's a slight chill in the air because I try to stay as close to naked as I can. Well, it's nice to meet you but I'm sure you three want to talk business. Rae, if you have a minute."

"Yes of course Wendy I'll just go with you." 

Jeff followed both of them with his eyes until they were out of sight and Mitch smiled and said, "Aren't both of them charming? I can only hope that we can fill this community with people like them and you two. Speaking of that do you have any questions for me?"

Winnie smiled and said, "Well, we're somewhat overwhelmed by this experience, it's exactly as you described it only there's so much more to it. It almost defies description doesn't it?"

"It really does. Do you think some kind of a recreation facility would be a good addition to this community? You know some exercise machines, perhaps a bar and a lounge area and some game tables, that sort of thing?"

"I have to think that would be wonderful, is that something you're planning?"

"That idea just came to me actually and I think I know the perfect place for that. Of course, I'd need to sell a couple more homes to help finance something as expensive as that. I also have an idea for a resident groundskeeper. For a modest fee, he could keep lawns mowed and he'd see to the square, of course. Like I said these ideas are just coming to me, but I can see those things happening quite soon. Perhaps by spring at the latest, but like I said, assuming enough homes can be sold to make it a reasonable venture."

"Well, if you're trying to convince us to buy you already have. We'll take the second of the condominiums that we saw."

"So number two is your choice, wonderful, and I'm happy for you."

"So as soon as we can get the funds arranged we could move in then."

"Of course., you don't even have to wait for the ink to dry. Better than that, if you'd like to spend a few days in your new home as our guest that can be arranged too."

"That would be most wonderful."

"I'll talk to Wendy and see about arranging a key pick up for you and a security pass for the gate."

"We're quite excited about all of this."

"I'm sure you are and if it were me I'd be jumping for joy. Tell you what, let's take a little walk and I'll show you something from when the village was going strong." He led them to Alice's and went in calling out, "Buck, you still in here?"

"I am."

"Just wanted to let you know we aren't prowlers or whatever."

"Thanks, I'd come out but my hands are kind of full at the moment."

"Take your time, I'm just showing some new residents around."

"Welcome folks and congratulations, I'll be out as soon as I can."

"Thank you, Buck," Jeff said.

"Winnie, imagine it's about eighteen months ago. This was a thriving boutique and Wendy managed it and she was good at her job. This place was full of nice things and...well let me show you some examples. Follow me," and he led them over to what was left of the shelf of shorts. "This shelf would be full of things like this," and he held up a pair of the tiny shorts that were standard fare at that time.

"Oh my, those are little. Aren't those a little tacky and in poor taste?"

"For where we live absolutely, but for here it was the garment of choice. These or some that were smaller. Let me see...dare I guess you at a size ten?"

She smiled and said, "Thank you, but more likely a twelve."

"Well here you go, a pair of size twelve."

"Mitch, are all of you in here?"

"Wendy, we're over by the shorts, come help us would you?" And so it began. Wendy took over the string of chatter as she walked Winnie around and picked things that might fit her. "Winnie, try some of these things on and if they fit you can have them as my thanks for your decision to join us."

Winnie was still a little concerned by the somewhat sleazy styles and tiny sizes, but Wendy chatted on about how even though it was possible to go naked, some mornings and evenings might be a little chilly for that, so she wore things like that. "We used to strut the village and tease all of the men until they were our slaves. We had great fun doing that. These bras were good sellers as were these panties," and Wendy just piled Jeff's arms with garments. "Most of our tops are gone now, but I do have something in your size, let me see...yes, here it is, and you can even wear this to town...if you're careful, of course. Oh, and you don't wear a bra with this top. Try all of those on and see what you can take home with you."

"You're just giving these to me?"

"If they fit you, they are yours. We just hope that you might know of another couple like yourselves that would consider living here."

"I have to say, I've never had a shopping experience like this before. Where are the dressing rooms?"

"Oh that's right; you're not familiar with all of that. See that nice carpeted and furnished area over there? That's the change area and Jeff can get comfortable and give you his opinion as you try things on."

"You mean...right there where everybody can just watch?"

"Of course, you're going to be living here and almost certainly going naked right?"

"Well, someday, but I need to work up my courage."

"Then this is perfect. You can start out in the shorts and tie front tops and so forth."

She leaned closer to Wendy and half whispered, "But Wendy, Mitch can see me."

"I know, but I'm already naked so maybe that will help you. Imagine what it will feel like going out in the sun scantily attired. You'll just love it. What do you think Jeff, should she let Mitch see her changing?"

"Of course, honey. It isn't like he's going to make love to you."

"I'm so nervous."

"Just try on the shorts first and see how that goes." She looked at the armload of sexy and free items and smiled. I can't believe what I'm about to do."

"That's what everybody has said when they did this for the first time." Wendy walked right behind them but Wendy's hand was behind her back and motioning for Mitch to tag right along. It was no different for Winnie than it had been for Layla or Anita or Kali. Winnie's hands were shaky as she slid her shorts down and stood there in her panties until she could get into the new ones. "Yes Winnie, those do look good on you."

"I'm almost naked."

Wendy smiled and told her, "You're not even close to naked, Winnie. Mitch, what do you think?"

"Winnie, I think I was right when I decided you were right for here. You look sexy and bright and young. Try on something else now."

She about half turned her back to Mitch and slipped her shorts down and then in classic Wendy fashion she said, "Wait a sec Winnie and try on this top."

"Now?"

"Sure why not, that way you're not tucking and untucking all the time." That was the next step. Now Mitch and Jeff were watching her in her bra and panties. So was Buck but he wasn't letting his presence be known right then.

Winnie moved over to the mirror on the post and studied herself and said, "I do like this top, sexy, but not over the top."

"Try it without your bra now, the way it's meant to be worn. You still won't show but you'll be surprised at the difference it makes." Off came the top and then the bra as she stood in profile to Mich. Jeff looked on as his wife allowed another man see her breasts and he loved the feeling between his legs.




It's All About Faith Pt. 08



"Now see Winnie, how much better and sexier that looks."

"Oh my God, I feel like such a slut."

"You look sensual and so sexy; don't you think Mitch and Jeff?"

"Let me see you honey," Jeff said. She turned around and her eyes connected with Mitch's as he smiled at her.

"Very hot," Mitch said. I can't see your breasts now and that's too bad but I do like that look."

"You saw my breasts?"

"Sure and I am impressed, Winnie."

"Honey," Jeff said trying to encourage her, "We saw your breasts, but so what? Just relax and try on everything. If we don't like something, we'll tell you right, Mitch?"

"Of course, we want you to look your best...your sexiest." Winnie liked feeling their eyes on her, but just as it was for Layla and Anita it was still a scary feeling and an unfamiliar one for her.

Wendy soon had her down to her panties again and then, that last vestige of her modesty was gone. Jeff moved so Mitch followed him until they were looking at her exposed pussy. "Here, try on these panties now," Wendy said urging her on. She slipped them up and then moved her hands over herself and said, "These are nice."

"They are the best," Wendy added, and then Winnie looked up and realized the men had seen her totally naked as they smiled at her. Her cheeks blazed red and before she could recover Wendy slipped Winnie's panties down claiming she had something else for Winnie to try on. Of course, Wendy had to go halfway across the store to retrieve the other panties. There was nothing left for Winnie to do but submit herself to the eyes of the two men...until Buck appeared.

"I finally finished my project. Oh, hello I'm Buck."

"Jeff, Winnie, this is my best friend that I mentioned earlier. Without his help, I'd be in dire circumstances now." 

"Winnie, if I may say so, you are a very attractive woman and a fantastic addition to this community, and Jeff you are one lucky man indeed."

"Thank you Buck," Jeff said as he smiled.

Wendy came back and Winnie just gave up and let the men stare at her as she went through more panties and bras before they ran out of thing so try on.

Mitch gathered up the garments and Wendy went to bag them up. Mitch boldly went over to Winnie and put his arm around her and kissed her. "Thank you, Winnie."

She was barely breathing as she felt his hands on her. For what," she managed to ask.

"For becoming a part of this community, for allowing us to see you as you should be seen, and allowing us to admire you. I can only hope the day will come when we will see you like this again."

Buck joined them and before Mitch could even step back Buck did the same and pulled her into his bare chest. "Allow me to add my thanks to Mitch's. When can we hope to see you two back here. Soon I hope. You feel a little nervous. I hope we can get you past that, so you can truly enjoy what this place is all about," and he kissed her again, but this time the kiss lingered as his hand went to her ass and pulled her against him. Winnie was all but panting when he moved back slightly and looked down at her breasts with the nipples standing proud. "I can tell that you really do enjoy being naked am I right?"

She didn't answer for a second as she licked her lips and tried to decide what to say. Buck smiled and looked into her eyes again and she said, "God, I feel so rattled right now."

"May I tell you a secret, just between you and me?" She just nodded as they continued with their eyes locked onto each other. He put his lips against her ear and whispered, "Just looking at you and feeling you close to me has me so hard I hurt and poor Jeff isn't doing any better. He loves seeing you naked and us kissing. Does he talk about you with another man?" Once again her head nodded almost imperceptibly. "Then I can only hope I'll be that man when the time comes. If not then all I can hope for is some other day for you and me. Now do something for me, something with me. Let's walk outdoors and back. Will you do that for me?" That time she smiled and out they went as the others followed until they were in the sunlight. In a louder voice he said, "Doesn't this feel fantastic?"

She took a deep breath and managed to say, "But you aren't naked."

"Then, I'll fix that. No wait, you fix that for me. Let the others look on while you undress me. You and Jeff will have lot to talk about going home then. I'll take my shirt off and you do the rest." Winnie was coming out of her shocked state but her insides were still a trembling mess. This was exactly what she wanted to have happen one day, but not the same day they agreed to buy the house. Wendy and Rae were smiling as they watched the proceedings and a minute later Buck's hard cock jumped out at her. She didn't even get his shorts and underwear down all the way before she stopped and stared.

Rae broke the spell by going over and wrapping her hand around his shaft.

"See Winnie, he does have a very nice cock and you did make him so very hard. Wrap your hand around it for a minute. It's like you're touching something you created. Feel his warmth in your hand," and she took hers away. Winnie looked up at Buck as she held him and then stepped away. 

"Thank you, Buck."

"Thank you Winnie, and I hope we see each other again soon." Buck pulled his feet out of his shorts and kicked them aside and joined Rae and Wendy.

Mitch had just been watching, but he stepped forward then and in a soft voice said, "Call my office Monday, and we'll get things in motion for you."

She kissed Mitch's cheek and said, "Thank you Mitch. You've made this a memorable time for us."

"Our pleasure and if you know of another couple that think like you do have them call me: You know what kind of people you'd like in your new neighborhood, so use that as your guide." Rae handed her clothes to her and after she dressed they got into their car and slowly went around the square and left.


Chapter One Hundred Thirty Four


Mitch was smiling and the others gathered around him as they all high fived their success. "I'm saying this right now. With you three helping me, there was only one way this was going to turn out and I thank you very much. They were made for this place without a doubt."

Buck told him, "I never would have taken those chances, but I could see that everything would be okay. She was melting just from me standing in front of her while she was bare assed."

"I say we go upstairs and have a good drink to toast our success and the future." They did toast to the future, and then Buck took Rae to bed and Mitch was soon with Wendy as they continued their celebrating. Buck and Rae lay there and kissed and whispered back and forth, and afterward he reinforced their new arrangement by telling her what he wanted her to do in the days and weeks to come: She smiled and agreed immediately. 

Mitch and Wendy talked, and set up a couple of business arrangements between them, and talked about what might happen if her apartment were sold. Mitch assured her she would never be homeless for even a day. He didn't know how he was going to work that, but he meant to keep his promise to her. 

Then, in the morning, it was time for Buck and Mitch to head for home. 

Mitch needed to start the hunt for the next couple. He had a lot of real estate to sell, so he was going to focus on that and let a lot of the other realty business go to his agents. He was going to be busy because he had upped the price for Winnie and Jeff and they had taken it without a flinch. He had just made thirty thousand dollars, because his contract with Faith had been ten percent commission, or whatever he could sell the units for above a certain mark, whichever was greater. So instead of fifteen thousand commission, he was getting thirty, and Faith was off the hook for the commission and everybody went home happy. He planned to ask more for the next condo, and that way he could afford the rec center he was thinking about, and still make good money. That also played into other plans he was coming up with. Monday morning he put in a call to Faith and spent half an hour talking to her, and when he was done he sat back and smiled. He'd just bought the buildings that included the two apartments. He knew that she would listen to almost any offer and he came out feeling very good with their agreement, but it still set him back a fair chunk of money. Of course, he had neglected to mention that he had just sold one of the condos, so that probably helped him a little. In a few days, she would see the figures from the condo as well as the two units that Mitch had just bought and the cash wouldn't be too far behind. What Mitch had bought, was all done with company money as an investment, but in the end he would have to pay for them himself. In the meantime he was counting on selling a couple more homes.

Buck had told Anita about all that had happened over the weekend and what a great job Rae played in the drama. Of course, he had to explain how Roberta became Rae and how Rae came out her shell far enough, and long enough to be an indispensable part of Mitch's sales pitch. When Anita heard about what was left at Alice's and Casey's she got excited and wanted to go see for herself. Of course, Layla had the same thoughts when Mitch told his story to her. 

Things were going well, but Mitch was anxious for more potential buyers because the summer would pass all too quickly to suit him. Mitch's plans for a groundskeeper came together when Wendy found one of the warehouse workers that would take the job in exchange for living in one of the thousand square foot cottages. That removed those pressures and worries from Mitch plus it filled one of the cottages and added what Wendy called a pretty good looking stud to the little community mix. Of course, that meant that Mitch had to buy the cottage first, but that proved to be so cheap that it wasn't a terrible burden for him. But the pressure was on him to get more cash coming in.

Then about the time he was starting to sweat, he interviewed some possible candidates and ended up with two good prospects. The first couple he talked to, he finally just spit it out that it was a clothing optional gated community and the couple lit up. He had a very good feeling about them and set it up to meet them there on Saturday afternoon. Then the second couple looked good, but just to be sure he wasn't getting impatient, he spent more time with them and worked hard at it until he finally told them the whole story as well. The guy was elated, but the woman hesitated and the three of them talked for quite awhile. Then they left and the two of them went someplace to talk about it over coffee. Whatever hubby said worked, because they came back and she was all smiles. Maybe she just wanted to be damn sure that he could handle other guys ogling her when she was naked. They couldn't make it for Saturday morning so that meant that Mitch would have to spend another weekend there.

Layla could have gone with him on Sunday but not Saturday, so she waved off leaving him to go himself, so he decided he'd go up late Friday afternoon and take the patio table sets up in a borrowed truck. When all of that was discussed over dinner with Buck and Anita, Buck said he couldn't make it either so that ended that thought. It wasn't that Mitch couldn't do it alone, but rather that it wasn't pleasant riding for four hours there and then four hours back. Besides an extra pair of hands always came in handy and made his work easier.

Friday afternoon just before Mitch left town he got a call on his cell phone. "This is Mitch."

"Hi, it's me."

"Hi, what's up, Nita?"

"Pick me up and I'll go help you sell homes."

"You sure girl, it isn't likely to be an exciting time."

"I'm sure. There must be some way I can help."

"I'm sure there is and I'd love your company."

"Buck and Layla are going to watch old movies while we're gone."

"Sure they will. Okay hon I'm on my way to your place."

"I'll be packed and ready."


Chapter One Hundred Thirty five


The ride to New Renovo was pretty quiet as Mitch tried to think about everything and then they stopped and had dinner with Ethel. "Well hello you two, this is a nice surprise."

"Good to see you too, Ethel," Anita said.

"So what's going on in your lives, sneaking away from the spouses?"

Mitch smiled and told her the story and she told somebody to see to her two tables and she sat down. "I love this, now tell me more," and the conversation continued. She sat back then and said, "Mitch, you warm my heart darlin'. So you're selling her houses at a huge loss for her and you're making out like a thief in the night. How sweet that is to hear. She ripped the heart out of that town and now she just wants to be free of it. What sweet justice this is. So, if I just happen to hear of or know somebody right for that place, you'd be interested."

"If you send me somebody and they meet the requirements and buy, I'll send you five hundred bucks."

"Oh honey, you may be sorry you said that."

"Babe, if you can do that for me it will be worth that or more. In fact, if they buy a condo, I'll up it to a grand, how does that sound.? But remember, I'm being very selective. They have to be in the right age range...unofficially, of course, and they have to be stable and liberal and so forth. If there is any doubt in my mind, I steer them away from there. One bad neighbor could ruin everything, especially this early in development."

Ethel leaned down and whispered to Anita, "Honey, do me a favor and screw his brains out and tell him that's from me, because he may have just given me a whole new outlook on life."

Anita smiled and told her, "I'll do that for you, Ethel." From there they stopped at the market for 'heat and eat' kind of food, and added to their liquor supply, and headed to their temporary home. "Mitch, do you think she will send anybody to you?"

"I don't know, but it was good to see her light up like she did."

"She was always one of my favorites there. She was smarter than she let on and seemed to have her finger on the pulse of the place."

"She didn't let much get past her."

"Mitch, I can't believe you bought the apartments and all of that."

"I think that was a good move. At least I hope so."

"You aren't thinking of trying to buy the town and starting it over are you?"

"No, but I will say that given enough time, I think Faith will be ready to sell what's left for ten cents on the dollar or less."

"But what would you do with it."

"That's the big question. I'm not saying I would, even if it was that cheap, but you never know."

"Do you think Faith is hurting for money?"

"Not by our standards, but by her standards I'm sure she is. I sent her a proposal to buy ten more acres of land next to the homes, of course, for a reduced dollar because it would be in her best interest. I claimed it would enhance my ability to sell the homes and perhaps, just perhaps get a few more bucks for the homes which puts more money in her pocket."

"And what would you to with it?"

"For now turn it into a green zone and put a walking path through there for the residents."

"Clothing optional?"

He smiled and said, "Of course. Plant a few trees so it would have more personality and surround it with Russian olive bushes."

"Which would do what?"

"One row of those bushes in as little as two years, would become an impenetrable barrier to nosy outsiders. They are thick, tall, wide, and really loaded with two inch long needle sharp thorns, that will draw blood in an instant. Even cattle can't get through that mess."

"Sounds formidable."

"Oh it is honey, it is."

"Want to know what Ethel whispered to me?"

"Sure."

"I'm supposed to screw your brains out tonight and say it's from her. I plan to do that too."

He smiled and said, "We'll pretend it's from her, but I'll know the difference."

"Good. It's been too long since we've been together. And did you realize this is the first time you and I have ever left town together, just the two of us."

"I do like how that sounds too."

It was after nine by the time they arrived and they unloaded the three tables and the chairs and umbrellas and then went in with their bags of groceries. Five minutes later they were naked and in bed together. They weren't in a hurry. They held each other and kissed and Anita reminded him saying, "I love you so much, Mitch."

"I love you too. Do you think Buck and Layla are watching a movie?"

"If they are, it's the DVD of the old village videos."

"All of that was so intense."

"It really was. Buck still thinks about Kali too."

"He really does?"

"Yes. He doesn't say anything about it, but if her name comes up I can see it in his eyes.

"I really feel sorry for both of them. That was one hell of a price to pay. You know Anita, in retrospect, we might have been able to just wait until Faith self destructed."

"I don't think so. We were the catalyst for change and that's what had to happen. Unfortunately, she went way overboard and became a disease for the village that was more potent than anything she was trying to cure."

"It will never be what it was, but maybe we can make it a nice place to live and maybe even make some money doing it."

"You're taking a risk though."

"I am, I agree, and I don't have it to lose like Faith did. But I'm comfortable with it." As they talked they were touching each other and that was working its magic. 

They kissed, and that led to more kissing and exploring as Anita told him, "I just wish we could stay like this. I want you so much, but I don't want it to be over either." They started out with her slowly riding his cock and as they looked at each other and repeated their vows of love for each other, but once she reached that certain point she went to her back, and Mitch took over as they had their brief, but very intense moments together. She couldn't keep her hips still as he pounded into her until he saw her leave her body for those precious seconds as her orgasm continued. Mitch joined her and then lay on her as his cock tried to keep its place in her. The intensity of the moment was past but their deep love was stronger than ever as they lay close and fell asleep together.


Chapter One Hundred Thirty Six


Mitch was up first because as soon as his eyes opened, his mind went into high gear. Every time he had a prospective buyer he was under pressure to perform, to make them feel like this would be their chance of a lifetime. He knew it wasn't realistic to think he'd sell to every buyer that looked at the condos or townhouses, but he had a good feeling about his Saturday appointment. Anita woke up and made her trip to the bathroom and then joined him at the kitchen table with coffee in hand, "Morning beautiful."

"Morning hon. You been up long?"

"Less than twenty minutes, I'm just sitting here trying to think if there is anything I'm forgetting."

"I can already see the stress in your eyes. What can I do to help?"

"Right now, I can't think of anything, but I know there will be, so stick with me."

"What about Wendy and Roberta?"

"Rae."

"Oh right, Rae."

"Would you go talk to Wendy and bring her up to date and then go see Rae too?"

"Okay, anything special?"

He smiled and said, "Maybe tell them to consider setting it up just like the last time."

"They will know what that means?"

"Yes and have them tell you the story and remember it wasn't my idea...well not a lot of it anyway. They were both a lot of help."

"Now I'm curious. Do you want breakfast now, or just sweet rolls and coffee?"

"Sweet rolls would do me just fine." It wasn't long before Anita walked naked over to Wendy's and they talked over more coffee. Then it was over to talk to Rae and Anita had to smile. She just loved strolling around in the buff and without a care in the world. Rae was brought up to date and then she told Anita, "I have a new neighbor. The grounds keeper is living in cottage number twenty one." Mitch hadn't told Anita about that so Wendy and Rae explained that to her. 




It's All About Faith Pt. 09



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter One Hundred Thirty Nine


Wendy and Anita had talked about the line up of prospective buyers, and what Mitch thought would be the best way to handle them, and Wendy called Rae and shared that information with her.

Beth and Ovid Colliers were the first couple late Saturday morning, and Anita was dressed in more conservative shorts, but a daring braless top. Wendy and Anita were at the bench and Wendy was in tiny shorts and tie front top when the prospective buyers arrived, so that was one of the first things that they saw as they parked their car. Anita went to greet them and explained about Mitch's sudden illness, and how she raced to meet them and at least give them the tour. It was easy for Anita, because all she had to do was let them in and just walk around behind them at a discreet distance. She watched them study the data sheets thoroughly and talk back and forth as they pointed to one detail or another, while Wendy stayed well away from them.

"So Wendy," Beth said, "I can just walk out of here half naked and just wander around?"

"You can walk out of here totally naked and just walk around."

"And you do that?"

"Of course, but I didn't think that would be an appropriate way to greet you two." Beth looked like she wasn't sure if she could believe Anita and that was proven when she said, "Go ahead and take your top off for us."

Anita smiled and said, "I will if you will Beth, and we'll stay that way as I show you the other units. That sounds fair doesn't it, Ovid?" He just smiled because he wasn't taking any chances with his wife who appeared to be the dominant one.

"Do you live here, Anita?"

"No, I live in Scranton, but I'm here a lot. As often as I can be in fact."

"What about when Mitch is here?"

Again Anita smiled and said, "If you mean do I get naked in front of him the answer is, of course I do. That's what this place is all about, freedom to go topless or naked or whatever. Just no sex in the open is the rule, and once the association is created, that will be up to the members to decide."

On they went, and of course Ovid got to see Rae as she strolled past naked except for her heels and Ovid ignored Beth and stared at her. "Ovid, that's Rae and she lives in one of the townhouses. Nice woman."

"Single," Beth asked?

"Oh yes, but if you're worried about her trying to steal Ovid, I don't think that would be a problem. No more than Theo, the handsome young groundskeeper, would try to take you away from Ovid." Anita was rather proud of how she handled that one. They made their way back through the gate and to a patio table where they were offered iced tea, and when Anita came out with the refreshments, Wendy was with her, also topless and displaying her perfect breasts for Ovid.  "Beth and Ovid, this is Wendy, she lives in one of the apartments here. She's the person to go to if you have questions about the area or where to buy things."

Then Rae appeared and Wendy stood up saying, "If you'll excuse me, Rae and I are going to catch some sun before it gets too hot," and both of them stripped naked before sitting on a bench, and leaned back in plain view of Beth and Ovid. 

"Oh shit," came out of Ovid's mouth and then he meekly smiled at Beth.

"Feel free to do the same Beth and you too Ovid. After all this isn't just about women, men get naked too and just about as often. Now if you would like to talk to Mitch, I think I can get him on the phone for you."

"Even if he's ill?"

"He said he'd be happy to talk to you. He just didn't feel up to the four hour drive." Once she had Mitch on the line, Anita stood up and glancing at Ovid and smiling she stripped naked and then sat down again. As Beth talked Anita motioned for him to strip too and Beth saw that and looked at him. No frown or shaking of the head, so it was more like she wanted to see if he had the nerve to do that. He glanced over at Wendy and Rae and they were smiling and waiting to see if he would go through with it, and as Beth talked, Ovid stood up and pulled his shorts and underwear down and waved his cock to all of them as he stepped out of his clothes. Beth watched in surprise, but she held up her end of the conversation as her husband showed his wares to the three women. "Very nice, Ovid," Anita said loud enough for Beth to hear. Anita could hear Beth's side of the conversation, but her comments were more questions, so Anita was learning nothing until she heard Beth say they would take the last townhouse in the line. The deal was done and all they had to do was go to Mitch's office Monday to get the paperwork started.

As she shut the phone off and put it down Anita said, "Congratulations to both of you."  "Thank you," Beth said.  "Feel free to join us. If you'd like something stronger than tea, I think we could come up with something."

"Thanks, but no. Mitch told us about the rec room plans and as I understand it he said it was close to here?"

Anita pointed and said, "Yes, it will be right over there in fact. Hopefully before the end of this year the last I heard." 

Ovid finally dressed and Beth put her bra and top on, said goodbye and they were gone and Anita called Mitch again.


Chapter One Hundred Forty 


Saturday Afternoon's appointment was with Winnie and Jeff for their second walk through of the fourth condo. After Anita explained about Mitch, they toured the condo, and Anita waited for them in the living room. They remembered seeing her the last time so, they were so relaxed that Jeff asked Anita, "I wondered if we were going to see.... Rae, I think her name was, taking her walk again."

Winnie gave him a nudge and said, "My God Jeff, act civilized would you?"

Anita laughed and said, "As a matter of fact, they are most likely tanning right now. If you'd like, when you're done here, just come up and we'll have a drink and just talk, or you can call Mitch and talk to him."

"That would be nice, thank you Anita," Winnie said. Then Anita smiled and peeled her top off and gave Jeff a hug as his arms went around her naked waist.  Then she did the same with Winnie and left them standing there with Winnie smiling and Jeff with a full erection. Still no sale, but it was a safe bet that they would take the plunge soon.

Sunday was more of the same with Ava and Dale Palates, and they told Mitch they would take the fifth and smallest condo. With that decided, Anita took them to Alice's to shop for free goodies, and all of them ended up naked with Anita and Rae seated on each side of Dale, and Ava glorying in being on display for them. Then with their free garments, they all went back and sat around and talked over iced tea, while Dale tried not to embarrass himself by staring at the four naked women.  Wendy was first to grab his cock and kiss him hard as she congratulated him, followed by Rae doing the same thing and slid her hand up and down his shaft as she kissed him and Ava looked on. Before they left, even Anita treated herself to his cock and a kiss before they left.

Gail and Frank, the second appointment for Sunday seemed pretty open and ready to celebrate the clothing optional lifestyle. Because of that, for the first time Anita stripped naked while they were still looking and Frank was hooked. In fact, Frank was so hooked that Gail had to strip too as she tried to pry her husband away from Anita. Then she smiled and told Anita, "God, you'd think he's never seen a naked woman before." The three of them walked back up to the table with naked Frank's arms around the women and his cock leading the way. Another call to Mitch and the first townhouse was sold. The fewer there were to choose from, the quicker people seemed to be to make their decision.

Anita's last appointment would be with Dennis, the young guy that Wendy knew from a few years earlier. But his appointment wasn't until seven so Anita took her heels off and leaned back to rest. "I guess I better go up and rest and freshen up because it's been a long day."

"I promised I'd try to get up here," and it was Theo walking toward them and admiring the three naked women. He had seen Rae naked a few times and even Wendy once or twice, but never Anita, and never all of them at the same time.

"Hi Theo," Anita said. Done mowing the path already?"

"No, I waited until some of the heat of the day would be gone. It won't take me very long to do that anyway with that tractor and brush hog." Then he looked at Anita and asked her, "Want to ride along?"

"On the tractor?"

"Sure why not. Take maybe half an hour is all."

"Naked?"

"Again, why not?"

"What about you?"

"I sometimes have to get off of the tractor and grub around in the weeds and stubble to fix the brush hog."

"Half an hour?"

"About that. The path is laid so all we have to do is zip around one time. I need to roll it, but I'll do that after the rains are gone."

"What rains?"

"Coming in tonight and we need it."

"Okay Theo, show me what it's like to ride shotgun on a tractor." She waved to Wendy and Rae and leaving her heels behind, followed him barefoot to the back of the hardware store where he was storing the tractor. He climbed on and then extended his hand to her and pulled her up next to him. "How old are you, Theo?"

"Twenty two, why?"

"I just want to be sure you know how to drive the tractor."

He laughed and said, "Yeah I know how to drive the tractor, love. You ready?"

"I hope so." He started the tractor, set the automatic transmission and put his arm around her naked waist and pulled her closer to him. "Can't have you falling off and getting scratched up," and off they went. Anita leaned into him and put her arm across his shoulders and held on. Then they were in the open because the path was outside of the safe zone. "Theo, we could be seen from the road."

He glanced back, smiled and said, "Well, I'll be damned we could at that," and he smiled up at her. That made her nervous, but at the same time she loved the feeling it was giving her and she liked what they were doing. This strong pretty good looking guy that was much younger than her, was holding her close and his hand was on her pelvis not that far from her pussy. The warm summer air was caressing her, and the tractor was bumping and vibrating as they made their way to the start of the trail. Once on the trail it became smoother and he slowed down and taking his arm from her for a moment engaged the brush hog and the put his arm back where it was only a little lower, a little closer to her pussy. With her standing and him sitting, her pussy was close to the level of his face and she was well aware of that. He was right about the time, because it didn't take them long to weave through the trail pattern. He stopped just short of the end and turned as he turned her toward him. She looked down and smiled as he pulled her closer and put his mouth on her pussy and kissed and tasted her. 

"Anita...I want to do so much more for you, but we just don't have a place out here and I'm really grubby." 

She bent down and kissed him gently and said, "Thank you, Theo, for the ride and the special kiss. I'm pretty sure we'll see each other again, so maybe you'll get a chance to show me what else you have in mind. In the meantime I'll bet that either Wendy or Rae would like to experience this ride too."

He smiled and said, "I guess I won't know until I ask." He dropped her off where the trail joined the cul de sac near the townhouses, and she made her way back to Wendy and Rae.

"Well how did the tractor ride go," Rae asked almost laughing.

"I'll just say that if he asks either of you, I'd suggest you accept. Just make sure you are bare assed when you do." With that she grabbed her heels and went up to shower and rest until Dennis appeared.


Chapter One Hundred Forty One 


Just before seven, she went down feeling refreshed and ready to go through the motions for Dennis the man-boy. If nothing else she could have fun teasing him.  Then tomorrow she could sleep in and then take her time going home. Dennis was from Discovery originally, which meant he knew the story and what could be expected. With that thought in mind, she had dressed in her tiniest shorts and a small tie front top and her slut heels.

Dennis was right on time, but when he got out she wished she had put on slacks.  He didn't look like he was more the sixteen. She felt like she was almost old enough to be his mother. She took his hand and introduced herself and smiled and said, "Before we look, let's talk for a minute."

"That would be fine, Anita." Rae and Wendy wouldn't need to be involved with her last appointment, because having them strut their stuff wouldn't impress him nearly as much as it did the other clients. "Anita, before we get into anything I want to tell you something." He was smiling as he said, "I really am almost twenty one. I say that because everybody, and I do mean everybody, thinks I'm still in high school instead of finishing college. I am looking to buy, so I'm not just wasting your time. I'll be here off and on, and the plan is for my parents to come stay here once they move back to Pennsylvania in a few months. Oh, and one more thing. Yes I can afford to buy a house...assuming the price is right, of course."

Anita smiled and said, "Of course, and thank you Dennis, that saves us from wasting time on silliness."

"By the way Anita, You look fantastic. Too bad Dad isn't here to meet you."

"That brings up a question. Let' say you're here and having a great time and then Mom arrives. How much fun can that be?"

Again he smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to make love to somebody while Mom  watches if that's what you mean. I've seen Dad screw the brains out of my aunt too, while Mom watched and encouraged them."

"That's wild. So how was it when you were here?"

"Well, until my last year here, I was shipped off to school most of the time, but my eighteenth year here was very interesting, because a few ladies liked the idea of screwing a mere boy...a lad. My baby face was an asset when it came to matters of the cock, if you'll forgive the expression."

Anita couldn't stop smiling at this contradiction before her. He looked so damn young and his voice sounded like it hadn't changed from adolescence to manhood.  Yet his body appeared to be developed, at least five ten, or taller and a little on the lean side. Almost a runner's build she decided. "Okay Dennis, let's go look at some real estate."

"One more thing, would you mind if I were to get comfortable?"

Anita shrugged her shoulders and said, "No, of course not. By all means be comfortable." Then he stripped naked and it was his turn to smile. He definitely was all man from head to toe. "Then, I need to be comfortable too," and she stripped and he put his arm around her as they walked toward the gate. 

She went through the explanation about Mitch and he shrugged that off and told her, "Then I win because you are much nicer to look at than anybody else I could imagine."

"Thank you Dennis. Start with condos or townhouses?" She explained the size difference, so he said townhouses and they continued to walk with their arms around each other. Anita appeared to be looking ahead, but she was also grabbing glances of his well proportioned uncircumcised cock as his hand rode low on her hip. To return the favor her hand drifted closer to his ass as they walked along like two lovers.

"You know Anita, Faith really screwed everything up and ruined the town, but I have to say this has its own appeal. Or maybe it's because I have my arm around you."

She smiled up at him and said, "Thank you love, but I'm sure it has to do with the homes, the setting, and the lifestyle."

"No, I've already decided, it's having my arm around you." They reached their first stop and went in. This time she stayed close and they continued to touch each other in one way or another. "So what is your personal opinion of this floor plan?"

"I'm not supposed to say, but let's pretend that I think the layout is clumsy."

"I like pretending with you. There is one nice thing about this place though," and he gently kissed her. "Yes, there is one thing nice about this place. Now let's go look at another one." Anita smiled and patted his ass and they moved on.

The next unit was much better and they played pretend again. He read the data sheet in the kitchen as she stood next to him with her arm around him. "Very nice," and he turned to her and added, "The townhouse is okay too, I guess," and they kissed again. "I like this one much better, so that warrants another one or two, and they kissed again as his hand caressed her ass and she pressed into him. "Damn, if you had your realtor's license, you could get rich love."

"I don't do this for other prospects, even if they are waving their cock."

"Then I have to buy one, but which one? Let's look at another one." When they went out it was raining, but they walked like the sun was out and went to their next stop. He didn't even go upstairs saying, "Very nice and cozy, but so small. But still, it has charm and character," and they kissed again as his hand went to her breasts and hers found his cock. Their kiss was deep and long that time, but once again he wanted to move on and they walked in the rain again. They were now soaked and their hair stuck to their faces. She tried to pull her long cut hair back so she could see, and as soon as they were inside they fell into another long kiss.

"Wait, you haven't even looked at this one."

"Let's pretend again," and their hands explored and they showered each other with light kisses as his fingers found her moist divide. "Want to know a secret, Nita?"

"Tell me handsome."

"I decided to buy the second one as soon as we went in. The rest of this was just so I could kiss and touch you."

"You know, it's raining out there. Your clothes are on the table and no doubt soaked by now so you can't go home in those. I think you better stay with me tonight."

"Yes, maybe my clothes will be dry by then. Good plan, but we have to walk back in the rain now."

"I don't mind at all. I have towels and we can get warm I'm sure."


Chapter One Hundred Forty Two 


It was after Anita had an orgasm with Dennis, and was now slowly riding his invincible cock that the phone rang. "I have to get that, lover," so she reached for the phone and went back to moving up and down on him as she answered. It was Buck.

"Hi, how did it go," he asked?

She was looking down at her lover and smiling as he moved his hips a little and she said, "Very well actually, but my last appointment just refused to leave so I won't be home until tomorrow."

"I assumed that."

"It's raining here so maybe it will stop before I head out." 

Dennis's hips continued to move and tease her as she tried to make conversation and he said, "You must be tired, you sound kind of out of it."

"I'm about used up, hon."

"Well, I won't keep you. I'll see you tomorrow night and you can give me the details."

"Okay. Love you," and she hit the off button and dropped the phone on the bed.

"Are you used up, Nita?"

"Not quite, because you were driving me crazy." 

Before they could do anything about it the damn phone rang again so she said, "That's probably Buck again," and she hit the button and said, "Hello."

"Hi hon, it's me."

"Hi, Mitch."

"How did the third appointment go?"

"I think he's going to buy. He'll call you tomorrow sometime."

"You okay?"

"Yes, why?"

"You sound different or something."

She smiled again as he pushed up and into her again and she couldn't resist. "I just feel like I've been pummeled. You ever have a feeling like something is moving inside of you?"

"Can't say that I have, you're sure you're not sick."

"Not at all, I think I'm going to do something about this hon and then get a good nights sleep."




It's All About Faith Pt. 09



"Okay."

"I'll call you from the car once I get to New Renovo tomorrow after lunch."

"Okay babe. I love you."

"I love you to Mitch, night." She threw the phone down again and Dennis rolled them over, and he attacked her again until she climaxed hard and had to call it quits.  He caught his breath and she told him, "You need to go next door and say hi to Wendy before she goes to bed."

"What if I don't come back right away?"

"You'll find me asleep so I won't know the difference anyway," He just smiled, kissed her and went to the bathroom before going over to Wendy's. She smiled and still felt like she'd just made love to a kid, a kid with unbelievable stamina.

Dennis tapped on Wendy's door and she opened it and stared. "My God Dennis, you've filled out..." and she noticed his cock. "Yes, you really have filled out, come in." He had never seen Wendy naked, but not because he hadn't tried. He was too young then, but that wasn't the case now. 

"Damn you look good, Wendy."

"Thank you. So did you buy something?"

"I had to because Anita undressed and showed me the units while we were naked."

"So you two screwed and now you're over her all but worn out."

"Want to find out if I am worn out?" She closed her door and they kissed.  "Wendy, I always had a thing for you. I'd try to catch you naked, or even almost naked. I tried using cameras and everything else I could think of, but never succeeded."

"Well, look all you want now lover but let's do it in bed." Invincible youth met good looking experience and together they managed to destroy the bed and go until Wendy was ready to pass out. He didn't make it back to Anita until after eight Monday morning.  


Chapter One Hundred Forty Three


It finally happened. Mitch had clients lined up for Phoenix Lane, and he couldn't go without causing some serious appointment problems and Anita couldn't get away. But Layla had Saturday through Tuesday off, because she had been working almost very day for weeks, and Buck could get away as well. It was their turn to stay there together and there was nothing much Mitch or Anita could say.  Besides, Mitch and Anita would have their evenings together. Friday evening Buck and Layla left town with bags packed and smiles on their faces. They had one appointment for Saturday, two for Sunday and one for late Monday afternoon. That left them with time to add more if they came up and most of Tuesday free before they would have to head home. They traveled in relative silence until Layla said, "I'm going to call Carly and see if she'd like to come up for the weekend, okay?"  Buck was surprised, but he smiled and said yes by all means. He'd have to be careful, but just maybe he could find a way to get Carly into bed with him. 

He could tell from Layla's side of the conversation that Carly would be there by mid morning. They stopped at Ethel's for dinner and talked to her and she said she had another client for Mitch, so they talked about that for a minute before they left.  Ethel was making almost as much helping Mitch sell real estate, as she was with the restaurant. Then they went to the grocery and on to the apartment. 

After putting things away, Layla stopped and said, "It just struck me that I'm not naked and that's always the first thing I do when I get here. I don't even feel like doing that right now, how strange." They went back out and slowly walked the square hand in hand and talked as they enjoyed the quiet darkness. Once in bed, they kissed and talked and enjoyed being together and fell asleep tucked in close to each other.

By nine Saturday morning it was already pushing eighty degrees, so instead of morning coffee down at the patio tables, Buck and Layla were sipping iced tea as they waited for Carly to appear. Then the first of a series of events happened that would conspire to complicate Layla and Buck's weekend. Events that would provide adventure, surprises, hurt and anger. Buck had his glass of iced tea at his lips when his eyes fell on Wendy coming down the stairs and surprisingly she was wearing tiny shorts and top. But even more surprising was Brenda. She was right behind Wendy and similarly clad. Buck almost poured iced tea down his front as he tried to drink while he was smiling and standing up at the same time. Layla was much less excited about the turn of events.

While Wendy was sitting down next to Layla, Brenda was walking into buck's arms and they kissed. "Hi stud, it's been a long time."

"Hi beautiful, how is it I can be this lucky?"

"Wendy invited me up for the weekend."

"How nice," Layla said as she shared a thin smile.

"So what are you two up to this weekend besides selling houses?" Buck looked at Layla and just waited for her to answer. 

"Carly should be here any minute, so we were going to spend some time with her."

"Wonderful. Buck, you lucky shit: Four women for you to chase around, now how can it get better than that for you?" Layla wasn't leaning back anymore.

"Carly and I plan to keep him too busy to stray too far." Brenda just smiled at her and then at Buck.

As they were each trying to get the last word Theo appeared. Innocent and friendly, Theo joined them and looking at Layla said, "You must be Layla. I'm Theo, the groundskeeper."

"Nice to meet you Theo, but how did you know it was me?"

"Oh Rae and Wendy described you when they said you would be up to stand in for Mitch."

"You getting ready to mow the path, Theo," Wendy asked.

"I am in fact."

"Layla, you should ride with him, it's quite fun and only takes about twenty minutes."

"What fun is it to ride a mower?"

Theo told her, "Well, it's a tractor actually. It's just a nice twenty minute ride, fresh air and a nice breeze always."

Layla should have been suspicious when Wendy seemed eager for her to try it.  But Layla didn't want to hurt Theo's feelings, so she said she'd like to try it.

"Oh, you have to be naked, Layla," Wendy advised her.

"Really? To ride a tractor?"

"It really does make a difference."

"Have you done this, Brenda?"

"Not yet. Wendy was just telling me about it this morning."

Theo stood up and said, "Let's go Layla, and then I'll take Brenda around."

"What do I do?"

"Just strip and we'll go over to the back of the hardware store for the tractor."

"This has to be the strangest thing I've ever agreed to do." But she stripped naked and followed Theo in her heels feeling sillier as they walked. "Are you enjoying being the groundskeeper, Theo?"

"I love it. I just wish I could do this full time, but of course that isn't possible. I have a small cottage to live in that's just right for me. I can walk to work and on the weekends I can make some extra money, that all works for me."

"You don't mind living out here in the sticks?"

"Of course not, I mean look where I am right now. I walking next to a beautiful naked woman and I just walked away from two more good looking women."

"Thank you, Theo, but why aren't you naked too?"

"I have to work on the equipment sometimes."

"Oh, of course," just as it had been for Anita, Theo held Layla close and his hand drifted as they made their slow progress out into the open area. But Theo had improved his technique. Right where Layla would be most visible from the road he stopped and told her he heard a noise that he had to check, so he left her standing there on the tractor as he jumped down. Theo also had friends from the warehouses, and they just happened to be on the road some sixty or seventy feet away at just the right time. 

"Oh my God Theo, there is a car of guys staring at me."

"Really? Where...oh now, I see them."

"Can't you hurry, Theo?" Her eyes were focused on the four figures at the car while Theo just stood behind her and watched as his friends got their eyes full of a good looking naked woman. Theo waited about as long as he dared, and then climbed back up and sat next to her, again putting his arm around her hips and started moving again as he waved at the four guys. "You mean you know them?"

"I couldn't see who they were, but I recognized the car. You doin' okay now?"

"I guess so."

Then he stopped the tractor again and looking up at her he said, "I'll bet you felt a tingling that time."

"I really did."

Then touching her between the legs he said, "I'll bet you felt it clear down to here Layla."

"Theo, what are..." and she felt fingers slip into her as he stood up. "Theo, maybe we should..." But he stood up and kissed her and she kissed him back as she held onto him. "Theo, it's only fair that I drop your pants and see your cock."

"Nah, you don't want to do that, it's nothing special."

"Theo, it's easy to see that you are so hard. I just have to see it now," and she ignored his words as she unfastened his jeans and pulled them and his underwear down. Her hand went to his hard shaft as she looked up at him and said, "You have a great cock, Theo."

He took a deep breath and managed to say, "It's too small."

"It is not, where did you ever get that idea?"

"Oh, from other guys, you know, when it's soft it's really tiny."

"Who cares what size it is when it's soft?" She bent down and kissed it and then said, "You have a beautiful cock and you know who would like to see it?"

"Who?"

"Rae, or rather Roberta."

"Why her? She has such a fantastic body."

"She has the best looking body I've ever seen, but I'll bet you two would really hit it off. You better get me back because you have me all stirred up now." He pulled his pants up and fastened the belt, but didn't bother to tuck his shirt in or zip up, and soon had Layla off of the tractor and walking back to the group at the patio tables. Layla was aware that she had been set up, but she intended to get the last laugh.

"So did you get your tractor ride, Layla," Wendy asked.

"Did I ever. You should have warned me that Theo is good with his hands and that he has a really nice cock. Damn, between his hands and his tongue I was about to faint." 

Wendy's smile disappeared then as she said, "Maybe I better take another ride with him."

"Oh...too late, sorry, I sent him over to see Rae because those two are made for each other." Then smiling at Buck, she asked him, "I see Carly hasn't made it."

"Not yet, but she's only about ten minutes late." Then Rod and Adriana in her short skirt came walking up from their condo and joined the group, and then Beth in her tiny shorts and skimpy top and Ovid joined them and introduced themselves.  Beth remembered Buck in particular from the free shopping event at Alice's with Anita and Mitch. 

She kissed his cheek and asked him, "How have you been Buck?"

"Great, nice to see you, Beth," and then he whispered, "But you're wearing too many clothes. She just smiled and whispered, "Stick around, hon," and went back to Ovid. Buck and Layla were busy checking everybody out, and then Dennis joined the group and he kissed Layla and they talked and flirted as she assessed the boy-man. Then right after that Carly appeared. 

Layla grabbed her shorts and top, and before Carly could sit down she said, "Let's go upstairs for a minute because I'm expecting a call," and Buck quickly stepped in behind them as they made their way up the steps. 


Chapter One Hundred Forty Four 


As soon as they were inside Carly asked, "Layla, what's wrong?"

"I don't know. All at once it was like I was surrounded and I was getting jumpy and mad."

"What made you mad," Buck asked and that wasn't the thing to ask her right then. 

"I'll tell you what. As crazy as it sounds, when I found out that you and I were going to finally have some time to ourselves away from home what happens?  Brenda comes into the picture. Then this Beth whoever the hell she is magically appears. And another thing that damn Theo was all over me and got me going just before all of the other people came out of the woodwork. I'm just frustrated, damn it."

Carly was walking a tight rope as she asked, "Layla, why then did you invite me up here if you wanted to be alone with Buck?"

"I don't know."

Carly stared at her and asked, "Well, what kind of answer is that?" Buck motioned to Carly to hold on and he pulled her a few feet away and in a whisper loud enough to be heard by Carly he asked, "Layla, what the hell was that all about?  You were very rude to Carly just now." She wouldn't look at him or answer him so he continued. "You really hurt and embarrassed Carly, and you even embarrassed me just now and you stand there refusing to say anything?"

She looked up at him and ignoring the tears said, "I have to get ready for the buyers. They'll be here before long," and she strutted off to the bathroom.

Buck went back to Carly and said, "I don't know what the hell happened to set her off, but it's like she's coming unglued all at once."

"Something is chewing on her that's for sure. When she called she sounded almost bubbly."

"We were having a nice time driving up here and this morning she seemed okay.  A little quiet, but what the hell we all get like that sometimes." Then the next event happened to further drag Buck down. 

Anita called told him, "Mitch asked me to quit my job and work for him full time." 

"Doing what?"

"Going to Phoenix more often and just being there."

"What did you tell him?"

"That I'd think about it."

"What do you think you'll do?"

"I really haven't decided, but I'm tempted. What do you think?"

"Well, let me see. I'd see you maybe a couple of days a week if I was lucky. In fact you'd see Mitch a lot more than me. There's no way in hell that he needs anybody just hanging around up here in sex land so he has to have other motives."  Layla came out of the bathroom then and left the apartment without saying anything to either of them. Buck ignored her and went on saying, "So take all of that and what do you think my answer would be?"

"Well, you don't have to lash out."

"Nita, I'm surprised you'd even bother to ask me that question. I'm not only surprised that Mitch would offer you that job I'm pissed at him for doing that."

"He just said that I had done such a good job he thought it would be great to have me there."

"Anita, that's bullshit. There is no reason that Wendy couldn't have been doing what we've been doing for him. Hell, he's letting her live in that luxury apartment free of charge, and all she does is keep an eye out on the place and answer a few questions supposedly. Sorry, but his story just doesn't hold water."

"Well, damn it what if I want to take that job?"

"You better think long and hard about that Nita, because this isn't just about you. It's about all of us and our futures. You do whatever the hell you want, but you better be damn sure that you'll want what you'll end up with."

Carly didn't want to just be there to hear them argue, but she didn't want to go out where Layla was either, so she held her ground and just looked through the window and watched the gathering around the tables. Layla was there, but all she seemed to be doing was talking to that kid named Dennis.

Anita felt the need to have the last word so she said, "Well, I am going to think about it."

"That's your call Anita, bye," and he hit the off button and tossed the phone halfway across the kitchen counter causing it to slam against the wall at the end.  "Damn her. What the hell is going on? Everybody seems to be falling apart at the seams." Carly was still watching the others but then she turned around and said, "Buck, I'm heading back to town."

"Carly, please don't go just yet. I'm sorry all of this crap is happening."

"Layla seemed okay to me as I pulled up, but then she lost it. I don't think me being here is going to help anything or anybody."

"It would help me, Carly."

She walked over to him and they put their arms around each other and just stood there quietly for a minute. "Carly, you're my rock right now. I'm not in the mood to go back out there and smile and pretend I'm happy or whatever."

"Buck, I'll stay as long as I can, but I'm not going to spend the night here. Not unless Layla comes to her senses before then. I'm almost worried about her actually."

"I am too."

They didn't have ten minutes to talk before Anita called back. "Buck, I just talked to Kali and do you know what I just found out?"

"No, but if you want me to guess, I'll go with she's pregnant."

"This isn't funny damn it."

"I didn't think that was funny."

"I just found out that Carly is up there."

"Hey, damn good detective work, you're right. So is Brenda, want to talk to one of them? Carly's right here in fact."

"No, I don't want to talk to them. What the hell is going on?"

"Good question because all I know is you and everybody else is going off the deep end for whatever reason and that includes Mitch. Of course, I suppose he's with you right now."

"No, I'm home and I don't know where he is. Now damn it Buck, answer me."

"I do know this much. Layla invited Carly, so you'll have to talk to her about why. Wendy invited Brenda, so you'll have to ask her why she did that because I sure as hell have no idea. In fact, if it weren't for Layla's appointments, I'd be on my way home right now so we could fight eye to eye."

"I guess we better finish this when you get home," and she hung up on him.

Carly went to him and asked him, "Do you wish you were home?"

"That's where I should be right now. Of course, then I couldn't have my arms around you like this if I went home." 

"About the last thing you need in your life right now is another woman."

"What I need is a woman like you that isn't mad at me and seems glad to be with me."

"I am glad to be with you again, Buck."

"I'll bring up a sensitive subject and ask, "What's with you and Gabe?"

"We're talking and we even went to dinner the other night."

"That's good, but will your being here cause problems?"

"No."

"Okay, that was brief and to the point." Buck looked at his watch and said, "Well, if they were on time Layla's appointment is here by now." Carly pulled him behind her and went over to the window again. 

"Well, she's gone and another car is there. Also the others have disappeared other than Wendy."

"Dare we go down there then?"

"Why not, all that can happen to you is you'll get yelled at again."

"What the hell I'm getting used to that so let's go."


Chapter One Hundred Forty Five 


Carly and Wendy sat on each side of Buck and he put his feet up on a chair near him and said, "Now this is more like it." Carly told Wendy about Layla and Anita being mad at Buck for reasons unknown and they talked about that for a minute.  Then, before he could say more a strange couple walked through the gates and toward them. Buck whispered, "They must be the appointment couple."

Carly said, "Well, if they are, all I can tell you is try to behave yourself because she looks good from here," 

Buck stood up and as they approached he said, "Layla gave us a chance to talk and she said she'd join us shortly. I'm Ray and this is my wife Sara."

"Nice to meet both of you, "I'm Buck and these two beauties are Wendy and Carly."

Ray smiled and said, "Buck, how do you manage to live such an awful life?"

"It isn't easy, and now I must also add beautiful Sara to my misery."

She smiled and daintily sitting down where Buck's feet had been said, "Thank you, Buck. Do you live here?"

"Nope, I'm a visitor and a friend of Layla and Mitch's. I'm here to help them and to keep my eye on you beautiful women."

Wendy told them, "I live here full time if you have any questions, maybe I can help."

"So do you sit naked out here, Wendy?"

"This is one of the rare times that you'll see me wearing anything."

"And that would be because we're here right?"

"That's right."

"And you, Buck?"

"Same answer, Sara."




It's All About Faith Pt. 09



"That's what Layla said, but we wanted to check."

"So have you picked out something to buy?"

"We have, one of the townhouses."

Buck straightened up and Wendy knew what he was thinking. "Well, we have something of a tradition here for new owners. Sara, do you like to shop for clothes?"

"Sometimes I do, yes."

"Then come with us, because you're about to have a very unique treat compliments of Mitch and Layla." The three of them led the couple to Alice's and they went in and started their dog and pony show. 

As soon as Buck's arms were full of merchandise, Sara stopped and asked, "So I'm going to get all of those free if they fit me."

"That's right." When Sara found out about the dressing area, her cheeks flashed pink but she didn't waver too long. By the time Layla appeared, Buck was sitting on the couch next to Ray and Sara was naked as she studied garments that Wendy was handing her. Layla was none too pleased to be left out, but she stuck a smile on her face and played along. 

With Sara's selections in bags, they went back to the tables to talk and Wendy went up to get iced tea for all of them. Brenda came back from her tractor ride and came out helping Wendy with the drinks. Now Buck had to sit there and pretend he and Layla hadn't fought, but that didn't stop him from making good eye contact with Sara and Brenda. He was just mad enough that he didn't care that much if Layla saw him either.

Sara moved closer to Buck and asked him, "So why is it you don't have a place here?"

"I'm too busy to get here enough to make it worthwhile. Besides, my wife and I usually stay with Layla and Mitch anyway."  "It's too bad that you're that busy."

"Well, I'm self employed so if I screw around...sorry wrong words. If I don't get the job done, I'm the one that starves. So how did you find out about this sweet place?"

"A lady named Ethel."

"Oh, sweet Ethel."

"So you do know her."

"Very well in fact and her ex husband Darren."

"You really do know them. I'll be sure to tell her I've met you."

"Be sure to tell her that I behaved myself too."

Sara laughed and said, "I will tell her that." 

With the tea mostly gone, Ray and Sara talked to Layla for a minute and then left which created an awkward silence for a minute. Then Layla, ignoring Buck said, "I made sure that Theo and Rae got together and when I left they were sipping beers and talking in her living room."

Wendy pretended she didn't know about the fight and said, "I'm glad and I don't know why that didn't happen sooner, except for the fact that they are each dysfunctional in their own way."

Carly didn't really care if it upset Layla so she looked right at her and said, "I think most if not all of us are dysfunctional in our own way, and more so sometimes than others." At least Layla didn't blow up.

Buck stood up and said, "Well, I've been here almost twenty four hours and I'm still dressed, but enough is enough," and he stripped naked and tossed his clothes off to the side and sat back down. There were trickles of conversation and slowly things settled down, but Buck couldn't forget that Mitch had offered that job to Anita and just as bad, she was considering it. Layla had to be told even though she was most likely still mad at him for some reason. 

He stood up then and said, "Layla, I got a call awhile ago that you need to know about."

"What is it?"

"Not here," and he picked up his clothes and walked toward the apartment without out looking back. He stopped at the top of the stairs and held the door for her and then followed her in closing the door behind him. She turned on him like she was going to lash out, but she stopped and waited for him to say something.  "Layla, Anita called earlier while you were with Sara and Ray. She called twice in fact. The first call is the one that involves you the most. Maybe we better sit down."

"No. I'm okay so just say it."

"Okay. Mitch asked Anita to work for him full time."

"What? In what capacity?"

"In my own words now because I'm still not sure, to come up here a lot, or more accurately to stay up here a lot, and help with sales."  "That's not a full time job."

"Well, you can see that and I can see that, so at least we're together that far."

"What did Anita say?"

"She said she was thinking about it."

"What? She wouldn't."

"She asked me what I thought and that's when she and I got into it. Layla, I'm just as pissed at Mitch as I am at Anita and maybe even more so. Carly was here so she heard a lot of this."

"She could have left."

"And come out there so you could offend her again? I wouldn't have if I'd been her. Let's look at a few details here: Question. Why hasn't Wendy been helping with the sales? She's been here the whole time. Instead he's having us drive for four hours to get here and sell the real estate, while Wendy lives in a luxury apartment for free. Why would he want Anita up here for days with little or nothing to do? The questions go on and on, but that gives you an idea where my thoughts are." 

He wanted to add that he still had no idea what had set her off, but he left that alone for the time being. The next thing he needed to do was see if Carly would give him a ride home so he could leave his there for Layla. He had no desire to stay there now.

After several seconds of silence she asked him, "What about the second call?"

"She found out that Carly and Brenda are here and she blew her cork over that."

"Why? What does she think will happen, that you'll run off with one or both of them?"

"You're mad at me. Mitch tried to screw me and Anita is pissed at me and you're asking me how she thinks? I don't know how any of you are thinking and in fact I'm going to go see if Carly will give me a lift home tonight. You can bring my car back when you get home."

She reacted like he'd slapped her face. She blinked and stared at him as he walked toward the door and then she said, "No Buck...please don't do that."

"Layla, this whole thing is turning out to be a very bad idea."

"Please...just wait. I'm going to call Mitch now, but please wait until I'm done okay? Please?"

"I'll be down there then," and he walked out, gently closed the door and went back to the only two people that were treating him like a human being.


Chapter One Hundred Forty Six 


Carly, Wendy and Brenda were still at the table and Carly told them what she knew about the fighting, which wasn't a whole lot, and that she would probably head home no later than six or seven o'clock.

Buck joined them and kissed Carly before he sat down. "I'm holding you hostage for awhile. I told Layla that I was going to catch a ride with you back to civilization and she asked me to wait until she had talked to Mitch."

"Well, at least she talked to you."

"I didn't learn much of anything, but yes she did talk to me."

Brenda told him, "Buck, I told you this once before but I'll say it again. Living here is hard. Visiting here for very long is hard. That's why I left remember?  Wendy, Jim and Delia are some of the very few that I know, that can live in this environment full time and thrive. Maybe even Rae, I don't know, but for you and Layla and Mitch and Anita? All of you love it here and I can understand why. But all of you are suffering from it right now. It's simply matter of too much of a good thing. If Anita is up here without you that still affects you at home, so this place continues to take its toll on you. It would be better if none of you were up here without your spouses actually. You're thinking about making love to Carly and Wendy and me...or at least I hope you are. That's good, but you can bet that Anita is thinking about that too."

"But she and Mitch are likely doing the same thing."

"Probably so and sometimes that's okay for all of you. The four of you need to learn how to decide when and how often without causing these rifts and emotional disasters."

"You learned all of this from living here?"

"I watched a quite a few people come and go because of the emotional stresses.  It cost me my marriage too you know."

"No, I didn't know that and I'm sorry."

"That's old news to me now, but thank you."

It wasn't that much later when Layla rejoined them and dropped into a chair.  They all just looked at her waiting to hear something good or bad.

Layla looked down like something was crawling on her leg and then said, "Well, I've learned this much. Anita and Mitch had a fight. What about I don't know, but they are barely talking to each other, partly about the job thing but something else too." She looked at Buck then and said, "I'll let Anita tell you about that one. I also told him to retract the job offer or he'd better look for an apartment to live in so that was settled. Then we got into it about the whole thing about him buying all of this property and that still isn't resolved. But at least he said that the loan is paid off so we're back to even money. Isn't that a laugh? All the grief and work and we're breaking even right now. Granted we still own some properties and the commercial buildings and the ten acres, but big damn deal. What good is all of that to us? I've been mad at him every since he bought all of this anyway, but I do have to admit he's doing better than I ever guessed he would have. I also told him this is the last time any of us would be up here to help him with appointments. Wendy, he's going to be talking to you about taking the clients through and so forth."

"It's about time."

"That's pretty much what I said too. He has some other things to talk to you about, but he'll be up here to see you in a few days." Layla took a deep breath and said, "I know it isn't even quite dark yet but I'm going up and just hide and try to fall asleep."

Carly watched her go and then she asked Buck, "So what was her tantrum all about then?"

"My best guess is stress. I wasn't aware that she was so against him buying all of this and that part about him cutting them so close financially. Plus of course the stress that Brenda was just talking about. 

"I'm still trying to figure out why she invited me to join you two."

"She likes you Carly. Riding down the road she was relaxed and we were like a loving couple. Now the next part is partly guess work on my part, but they aren't wild guesses. Once we were here things started to chew on her. She chose to stay dressed which was fine, but that wasn't like her to do that. Carly, I'm sure she knew there was a very good chance that you and I would make love at some point, but she felt she could deal with that. Until of course she started to unravel. Then Brenda came into the picture and she knows that Brenda and I have a...well, a close friendship. I think she can see the real me about as well as anybody." Then he smiled and said, "Of course that thought can be a little unsettling too. I guess once she started to crumble, she just fell apart, but in the end I think she will be okay.  Carly, please stay. Give her time to apologize to you okay?"

Carly smiled and said, "Okay, but if she acts up in the morning I'm out of here."

"If she acts up too much in the morning I'll go with you and let Mitch deal with her."

"Do you still love her?"

"Of course I do, and I don't mean that I'm abandoning her, but if she can't get it together, she needs a wake up call. She and Mitch need to have it out so the healing can begin." Then he looked over at Brenda and asked her, "Got anything to add pretty one?"

She smiled and said, "No. Like you said, maybe once you two are home maybe the healing can begin. As unpleasant as it sounds, my analogy is all of you were developing a mutual emotional boil. Now that it's been lanced it will heal."

"An unpleasant visual that's for sure, but that's about how I see it, so where did everybody else disappear to?"

"I think we were left out of a small party."

"Good."

Brenda stood up and said, "Well, I'm going to do what Layla did. See you two in the morning." 

Buck stood up and kissed her and said, "When I saw you come down the stairs with Wendy, this isn't how I hoped things would go."

She smiled and said, "I had hopes for more too, maybe next time hon."

"I can only hope. In the meantime we'll stay in close touch okay?"

"We can do at least that much, night lover."

Carly went over next to Buck and slipping her arm around his waist said, "We better go up too."

"Carly..."

"I know Buck. For now we better just take it hour by hour."

"Thanks for sticking with us."

"I've been through worse and you know it."  It was past midnight when Buck sat up in bed and looked at Layla. Her hair was a mess from being restless before she fell asleep, and he wished he could just touch her or kiss her to make her worries disappear, but life just wasn't that simple. He knew, because he had lain there and done his share of tossing and turning as well.  He got up and went out for a glass of water and looked outside. The moonlight was scant, but he could make out the tables and the end of the square just off to his right, and the gray outlines of the small trees in the square. In his mind he saw bits and pieces of memories of walking the square, talking to and being close to different people. He remembered taking part in walking the new residents to Alice's and them getting them naked in public for the first time. The more he looked the more he remembered. He couldn't just go back to bed and expect to fall asleep, so he went to the door and walked down the steps and stopped again. The air was too cool to just stand there for very long, but in a way it felt good to him. He walked down to the right toward the end of the square and then made his way back. Then Carly stepped out of the shadows.

"You okay, Buck," and she walked over to him.

They leaned into each other and his arm went around her waist as she did the same with him and he said, "Yeah, I'm okay. Why are you out here naked in the cold at this hour?"

"I could ask you the same question, but I probably know the answer. I heard you stir and then go to the kitchen. Then I heard the door open and close so I watched you for a minute through the window and the came out to check on you.  Let's walk again like we did the last time."

As they stepped off he smiled and said, "I was just thinking about that night before you appeared." 

"That memory has come to me a number of times since then. You're in kind of a mess right now aren't you."

"Kind of. It's like fate just keeps picking at the threads of our lives. No one thread that is pulled does much harm or changes things very much. But sooner or later holes begin to appear and you get little peeks of what's underneath. But I also know that with you here right now, I realize that with special people like you in my life things will work out okay in the end. Not without more hurt and a lot of work, but in the end it will be okay."

"What about Anita and Mitch? Can you get past all of that?"

"None of that is about jealousy so I believe I can." They walked a little farther in silence and then he pulled her closer as they walked and he kissed the top of her head as she kissed the side of his chest. They stopped and shared the gentlest of kisses and then walked around the end of the square and headed back. 

"Buck, I was just thinking about something..."

"I hope it's the same thing I was thinking."

"It's cooler out than the last time."

"I don't mind."

"Why don't you get us one of those mats."

Once again they made love on the cold vinyl covered mat, but the mat didn't stay cold for long. They had both climaxed but they were still joined and as he lay on her he said, "Carly I..."

"Don't tell me you love me because we both know that isn't true."

"I love you as a very good friend. I love you as a lover too, but what I was going to say was don't be surprised if I turn to you for advice in the coming weeks and months."

"Brenda is the one to go to for advice. She is one smart lady."

"She is and I'm sure I will be talking to her. Maybe with you it would be better if I said, it will be more a matter of solace and comfort. Don't be surprised to see me at your door some day or evening."

"I hope you will, Buck." Then they kissed and though they didn't quite make it they tried for second orgasms before getting up and dragging the mat back to its resting place. The short walk back to the apartment was made holding hands and talking like best friends talk sometimes. Once inside, they kissed one more time and Buck carefully went to bed and fell asleep. Carly slipped into her own bed and only had minutes to replay what she and Buck had just shared. Not sex. Not simply seeing to their carnal needs. They shared emotions, very personal thoughts and wishes and their friendship like so few friends can ever seem to allow.


Chapter One Hundred Forty Seven 


Not surprisingly, Layla was up first and was out on the stretch of former parking spaces. What they now referred to as the patio with its three tables and umbrellas and twelve chairs. She thought about the two appointments that were scheduled for eleven and one o'clock. She thought about Buck and Mitch and Anita and she thought about all they had been through and shared since their first visits to Discovery. Even that name now caused her to pause. How could those few days that first time have changed them so much and continued to influence the way she thought and how she saw simple everyday life? How could she love Buck so very much and not just when they were making love or teasing each other? Why did she lash out at him after Brenda came into the picture, when Kali was the one she worried about? Brenda was a friend and she knew that the two of them had made love before and probably would again.

Carly got up and looked at Buck sleeping on his side and smiled as she remembered their nocturnal liaison just hours earlier. No, she didn't love him but he would never be far from her thoughts either. They bonded like twins and made love with abandon. She poured a cup of coffee and after seeing Layla outside, she took a breath and went down to join her. "Is it safe for me to approach," She asked.

Layla showed a guilty smile and said, "Yes it's safe." She waited until Carly was seated and then said, "I'm sorry about yesterday."

"What brought that on? Are you afraid of me trying to steal Buck?"

"Sometimes, because I know you two seem to get closer all the time, but that wasn't it. I just have so much on my mind right now and I'm not doing a very good job of handling it."

"Anything you can talk about?"

"Not really. I just have to deal with it and quit trying to pretend it doesn't exist, but this isn't the place or time for that. I guess what sent me sliding down hill was when Brenda appeared yesterday morning."

"So it's Brenda that is bugging you."

Layla was looking down at the glass table top and drawing imaginary lines on the glass until she looked at Carly and said, "Let's just say she has quite a sexual aura and she makes me nervous."

"I don't know if you'll believe me, but I can tell you a few things about them, or rather their relationship."

"I'd like to hear what you have to say."

"Some of this is conjecture based on what I've seen and heard and a lot of what I've witnessed. They met and were instant friends. That was it. No awkward preamble, just hi I'm so and so and they were friends. Then they were thrown together when they went through that mess with Kali. I won't bother you with those details other than they ended up sleeping together in the guest room and their friendship grew very rapidly. More of that damn Discovery magic or curse depending on your viewpoint. Now to where they are now. I'll use the analogy of her being his sister. Maybe older sister I guess. Brenda is so damn smart and intuitive. She comes off as this woman that simply loves sex and good times and I think that is true. But she's much deeper than that and she lets that part of her pop out every so often. It's like there are two sides of her and she can change back and forth like flipping a coin. Does she like being with Buck? I have to admit she does and I'm sure they make good music together. Enough so that sometimes even I feel jealousy when she's around. But don't let her dominate your thoughts Layla. I wouldn't suggest you put the two of them in a bedroom and lock the door, but try and see her as a friend with an impetuous tendency."




It's All About Faith Pt. 09



"So if Buck belonged to you, Brenda wouldn't be seen as a threat."

Carly smiled and said, "Let's just say I'd enjoy her company, but not be too relaxed around her."

"You're hedging your answer."

She smiled and said, "I guess I am at that. Are you still mad at him?"

"No. I really wasn't mad at him yesterday. He just had the misfortune of being there when I lost control. I just hope I can mend those fences."

"All you have to do is say I'm sorry and mean it and hold him close. He still loves you."

"You don't understand how I can love him like do and still love Mitch do you."

"No, but that's your problem, not mine and I'm sure that is a problem."

"It's getting complicated that's for sure."

Buck appeared and it was just as Carly had predicted. Layla apologized and they melted into each other's arms and that was that...at least for awhile. They still had some talking to do at some point.

Brenda and Wendy joined the mix then and all of them talked as they sat there in shorts, ready for Molly and Gene Exeter, the first of Layla's appointments. They didn't get into the strutting past the potential buyers in skimpy clothes or while naked. Layla did her job and it was up to the couple to decide what they would do.  The guy didn't miss Brenda and Wendy in their tiny shorts however, and Buck went out of his way to make friendly eye contact and shared smiles with them and especially Molly.

After they left, Layla said, "Well they're very interested. They especially liked the largest cottage." Then she looked at Buck and said, "I noticed that you and Molly seemed to connect."

"Hon, I was just being friendly." She just smiled and let it go. 

For what remained of Sunday evening, Buck and Layla finally made love. If nothing else, they proved that their relationship could survive a fight. Monday was about the same, but nobody made any commitments to buy. Life went on and the summer passed but it wasn't a smooth passing.


Chapter One Hundred Forty Eight 


Summer was gone, autumn was short and cool and winter...well, winter had been just winter. Cold, brown and a little depressing. Mitch was busy trying to line up a group of potential buyers for a spring open house at Phoenix Lane, and Layla was knee deep in a special report. With them out of circulation for the most part, Buck and Anita were seeing more of Doug and Kali. Not every weekend, but much more than in the past. 

Layla knew that Buck's business was in its seasonal slow period, so she called him and asked, "Can you get away for just a little bit, Buck?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"Oh just have coffee and talk. Can you come by here?"

"Sure, see you in an hour if that's okay."

"I'll be here."

Layla was waiting for Buck at the door and he walked into her arms. They smiled at each other and kissed, but Buck could sense she had something on her mind. This wasn't just a sweet midday meeting for them. She led the way to the kitchen and he sat down as he poured the coffee and she sat across from him.  "Something is chewing on you Layla, are you okay?" She sipped her hot coffee as she decided how to begin.

"Buck, do you still love me?"

"Of course I do Layla, why would you question that?"

"I don't, but...being away from Phoenix Lane for a few months has been good for all of us. Well, I think so anyway. Buck, I still love you too and I want to be sure you believe me when I say that."

"Of course I believe you."

"Remember when I fell apart that day?"

"I remember that and you scared me."

"Well when I saw Brenda, I had such a flood of jealousy come over me. That happened because, the one thing that was on my mind that day was I came very close to asking Mitch for a divorce."

"Really?"

"Buck, I do love you very much, but...I guess not enough, plus, I didn't think you would divorce Anita. I know you love me, but not enough to do that...or was I wrong?"

"I've asked myself that same question a thousand times, but until not long ago, I couldn't sort that out. You weren't wrong, Layla. I know things have changed between Anita and me, but I'm slowly putting my life back together. I still have some other unresolved issues though.

"I know you do, Buck. We love each other, but not enough to do that."

"I'd never want you out of my life, and I really do and always will love you."

"I just needed to hear you say that, and to know that you understand that I feel the same way about you. I don't regret anything that we have done or shared, and I'd be heartbroken if you were to drop out of my life too. I feel so much better now. Like we can get on with our lives and be ready for whatever is in our futures.  I think this has been at the heart of my struggles and lashing out at everybody."

"I'm glad you called so we could get past this because it really has been on my mind a lot. I still have other issues to work out though."

"I know you do."

Buck never even tasted his coffee. They stood up and walked into each other's arms and shared a gentle kiss. "Damn it Layla, you are still the most stunning and wonderful woman in the world and I'm so glad you are a part of my life."

"Thank you, Buck." Then she smiled and asked him, "Do you think that we'll end up at Phoenix Lane again, or is that in the past for you?"

"I hope it isn't in my past. I still really do like it up there. Well, for a couple of days at a time at least." They shared one last kiss, said goodbye, and then Buck headed back to his office. He knew their feelings for each other had settled down to a more realistic level, and it was good that they could talk about it. Then he realized, it was like a weight had been lifted from him. Maybe it had reached a point where it was expected or assumed that he and Layla would be married one day soon and he knew that wasn't what he wanted. 

Layla's thoughts were much the same. She loved Buck. She knew that and she knew she always would. She just didn't love him enough to divorce Mitch and marry him. Now she felt like she could relax and just maybe get control of her life again. Her only worry was would Mitch and Anita end up wanting a divorce so they could marry. 

When Mitch got home just after five, she poured two glasses of wine and went to him in his office. "Mitch we need to talk about something," and she handed a glass of wine to him.

"What about honey?"

"About you and Anita."

"Really? Okay, what about us?"

"It will be simpler if I just ask you. Do you love Anita enough to divorce me and marry her?"

He tasted his wine and sat there without answering. Then looking at her, he said, "No, I don't Layla."

"It took you a long time to answer me, are you really sure about that?"

He put his glass down and leaned back saying, "Until not long ago, I would have told you I don't know."

"What has changed, or maybe it's more like who has changed?"

"I'm not sure I can even answer that. I do love her, Layla...but I love you more and I don't want to lose you."

"This bothers me, because I feel like, who you love more, is almost too close to call."

"Not now it isn't. We have all changed so much, that I don't think any of us were mature enough to make sense out of what was happening. We needed time to sort it all out and adjust to our new lifestyle. Does Buck think he wants to marry you?"

"No. We weren't sure either for awhile, but now we know. We love each other, but as friends and lovers, just not enough to be husband and wife."

"Do you think it would be helpful for us to see a little less of them for awhile?"

"I don't know, maybe a little, but I still want to see them."

"Of course, they're still our best friends."

"Doing that might help all of us to think a little clearer."

Buck went home early because he wasn't keeping his mind on what he was doing. He wanted to have the same conversation with Anita, but he had the feeling that wasn't the time to get into those issues with her, because she seemed a little distant like she was wrestling with something as well. Most likely the same problem, but he wasn't sure, and if that was the case she probably wasn't ready to get into that. He wasn't even sure how much he loved Anita now. He knew he did, but that's all he knew for sure.

One thing that eastern Pennsylvania doesn't lack for is Italian restaurants. So when Buck and Anita, and Kali and Doug planned to get together for dinner, it was no surprise that they would choose an Italian restaurant. At the last minute, Layla and Mitch were able to join them, so the six ended up at Gerardo's. They shared a couple of bottles of Rosato with dinner and the evening was pleasant. What was missing however, were references to Phoenix Lane or swapping. One thing that was much in evidence, was Doug flirting with Anita, and she ate it up. It wasn't blatant or crude, but to the casual observer, more like innocent touches and looks.  But to Buck and the others, it was not so innocent. Maybe Phoenix Lane wasn't so far from their minds after all. Buck and Kali shared flirting looks and smiles, but other than that, they behaved themselves. 

Nobody appeared to have the blues winter now nearly past, but there wasn't the lively banter that was so much in evidence last summer. It was mid morning on Friday when Buck called Kali on her cell phone. "Hi love, it's me."

"Well hi, this is a nice surprise."

"I just finished doing a quote and I'm not far from you, assuming you're near home."

"I am. In fact I'm pulling into my driveway. Do you have time for coffee?"

"I do have. Say ten minutes?"  

"Wonderful, see you soon." She was waiting at the door for him and they shared a soft almost innocent kiss. "I'm so glad you called."

"So I'm not interrupting anything?"

"Of course not." She led him to the kitchen and they sat across from each other and talked as they sipped coffee. Talked and reached across the table to touch each other. "So how is Anita, and how are Mitch and Layla?"

"Anita's okay, but we haven't seen the others for a couple of weeks."

"Why is that?"

"Oh, he's busy and I guess she is too. She's trying to work into just doing special reports and not do any daily broadcasts. She wants to cut back on her hours I guess. How's Doug?"

"Oh, he's fine."

He took her left hand in both of his then and asked her, "And how are you doing?"

Her smile was a little thin as she looked into his eyes and told him, "I'm getting along."

"What have you been doing?"

"I have a friend that makes custom jewelry and I've been helping her with marketing. I don't know a lot about jewelry, but I'm trying to be helpful.  Buck, what happened between you and Layla?"

He wasn't sure how to answer that so instead he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well it isn't hard to see that you two aren't as close as you used to be."

"We've decided we love each other, but not as much as we thought in the beginning."

"More passion than love?"

"Maybe so."

"Just like you felt for me?"

"Kali, please never say that again. What I felt for you, I still feel for you, but we better not get into that."

She bent forward and kissed his hand and said, "I'm sorry." They moved on to safer and more benign topics, but they ignored their coffee and continued to hold hands.

"Buck, does Anita know you're here?"

"No."

"You going to tell her?"

"I don't know, I hadn't thought about it, but probably. Could we do this again one of these days?"

Her smile improved as she told him, "If you'll tell Anita."

"Okay, I'll tell Anita. Maybe we can meet at Dunkin' Donuts at Avoca." 

"Maybe we can."


Chapter One Hundred Forty Nine


The need to get out and shake off the dust of winter was probably the reason that on a Saturday morning in early April, Carly called Anita, and she was soon on her way to see Anita with Laura and Brad in the car with her.  Anita called Layla and she headed to Anita's, and by some miracle Brenda just happened to be in the area, and ended up in Anita's living room with the others.  Doug came up with Kali and she joined the women and he joined Buck and Brad at Mitch's. The wine flowed at Anita and Buck's, and even though nobody was over imbibing, tongues were loosened a little. 

The men talked about their past adventures at Phoenix Lane, and had their quota of beer, but then their conversation moved on to more mundane things like sports, cars, and they even cautiously touched on politics.

The women on the other hand were more animated and talkative. They too spent time talking about Phoenix Lane and even the DVD's they had watched. Then Laura smiled and said to Layla, "I'll bet you and Buck can hardly keep your hands off of each other now."

Layla smiled and told her, "We're still very close, but we've settled down quite a bit since then, to a more realistic lifestyle."

Looking at Anita then she said, "What about you and Mitch?"

"About the same as Layla and Buck. Mitch can still get to me, but we've settled down. In the beginning there was that newness thing I think, and that made everything more intense. What about you and Brad and Carly, and...oh...never mind, sorry Carly."

She smiled and said, "That's okay, I'm past the bad stages of that for the most part."

"So where is Gabe now, and what is he doing?"

"I haven't talked to him for almost a month so I'm not sure." Then she changed the subject and asked, "So has anybody been back to Phoenix Lane?" Everybody said no, but they all admitted they had often thought about it. Then Carly asked them all, "So do any of you have plans made regarding Phoenix Lane?" They all said no, so that stimulated more conversation. Guessing when it would get warm enough to truly enjoy being there again, and wondering how it was going for the new tenants and for Wendy and Rae.

Anita looked at Brenda and said, "You've been pretty quiet through all of this.  Do you have anything to add?"

Brenda smiled and said, "Not really. Like all of you I think about that place frequently, and I remember what it was like in the old village and so forth. I'll also admit that there are some things that I like better about how it is now."

"I'm sure you'll be back up there to see Wendy if nothing else."

"I'm sure I will be at some point."

Layla added, "I'm curious how Rae and Theo are getting along, assuming they are still together."

Anita added, "I'm curious about Dennis and how he's doing, and if his parents are there now. All of that is weird to the point of being a little uncomfortable. I guess to them, it must be no more significant to them that buying groceries." 

They still hadn't run out of things to talk about when all of the women but Kali left. Doug had dropped her off before going to Mitch's, so she had to wait until he came to pick her up. After picking up the living room the two women settled at the kitchen table and talked. "So what do you think Kali, will you go back to Phoenix Lane?"

Kali looked down and then with a thin smile said, "I really don't know. I guess I'll decide if and when that time comes. It would depend on who would be there, how Doug and I are getting along, the weather...just a whole lot of things really.  What about you?"

"I'd like to at some point. I still like being up there, but the next time I want to just sit and read and play. Every time I was there last summer I was working."

"Buck told you about stopping and having coffee with me didn't he?"

"Yes, he told me."

"Were you upset with him?"

"I have to admit that for a second I wasn't very pleased, but I was just being childish."

"We both decided that if we were to do that again, we'd meet at Dunkin' Donuts or someplace like that." 

"You still love him don't you."

"Yes, but Anita I'm not going to do anything behind your back."

"I know."

Buck and Doug finally made it home and came in through the garage and into the kitchen. Buck went to Kali and kissed her cheek as Doug did the same with Anita before sitting down next to her. Buck was glad to see that because now he could sit next to Kali. He took her hand in his and asked, "Well did all of you ladies have a good time?"

"We did, how about you guys? You don't seem to be drunk."

"Not on two beers and coffee."

"Did you talk about Phoenix Lane?"

"Sure. Did you know Mitch is getting an open house lined up for up there?"

"Layla didn't mention that. So what does that entail, and when will it be?"

"Well it will be by invitation only of course. He'll let the residents know ahead of time so they won't be surprised by a bunch of strangers wandering into their neighborhood, and he'll have refreshments and snacks available, and make sure the place is mowed and spotless and so forth."

"What's left to sell?"

"I've lost track. There are two or three new apartments ready, and I think there's a cottage or two and one townhouse. Of course, I'm not sure about any of that.  The condo that Winnie and Jeff were going to buy before they bought the apartment, may still be available too."

Kali smiled at him and said, "Nita and I were just talking about if we would go back to Phoenix Lane again. What would you say to that question?"

"I'd like to for a couple of days once it's warmer. What was your answer?"

"I said maybe, depending on the circumstances."

Anita looked at Doug and said, "What Kali is really saying, is she will only go if Buck will be there."

Doug laughed and said, "That's how I took it too."

Kali straightened up and said defensively, "Now that isn't what I said at all."

Buck kissed her and told her, "Don't pay any attention to them, honey."

"It's just that I have things on my mind and I have to figure them out first."

Doug and Anita look at each other and smiled, but didn't tease Kali anymore.


Chapter One Hundred Fifty


Layla and Mitch finally got together with Buck and Anita for dinner Friday night at The Willow's, a more upscale restaurant. They weren't celebrating anything, but the four of them just felt like it was time to splurge and treat themselves to some fine dining. Buck and Layla walked together and shared kisses and sweet words, as Mitch and Anita did the same, but at the door they switched back to their spouses and stayed that way for the evening. 

The confusion and stress they had all experienced over who they loved the most was behind them now, so they were able to relax and enjoy the evening. Anita said, "I can't believe how hard it's been for the four of us to get together lately. Layla, is your schedule settling down?"

"It is. I still have more than I'd like, but it's a lot better than it was even a few weeks ago."

"What about you Mitch, the open house about ready?"

"It's getting there. I'm working with Ethel to get a few more couples to join us, and if that works, we should have a pretty nice turn out. The best thing would be to have it be all former Discovery residents."

"I'm sure your chances to sell would be a lot better with them."

"I think so, especially with some of the old residents already living in Phoenix Lane."

"How many units are there to sell?"

Mitch smiled and sat back saying, "As many as I can sell. I can put up more apartments if I have an interested buyer, and I can add a few townhouses or whatever. Not furnished, of course, because I can make more money staying away from that idea."

Buck asked him, "Do you see all of this really growing into something much bigger?"

"Time will tell, but I can see that happening. Those ten acres where the walking path is, could be another section of homes if the demand was there."

"I'll bet your current residents wouldn't be happy about that."

"Probably not, but there's a chance that Faith would sell me another chunk, not as cheaply as that one was, but it might be worth pursuing if the need arose."

Layla changed the subject when she asked, "How are Kali and Doug doing?"

Anita smiled and just said, "Fine I guess, still together anyway."




It's All About Faith Pt. 09



"As in maybe they won't be soon?"

"Oh, I don't know about that. As far as I know they're getting along fine, so I don't know why I said that."

"What about Carly?"

"I talked to her the other day and she sounded pretty upbeat. She didn't admit to anything new in her life, but she did sound in pretty good spirits."

"Well the next time you see or talk to any of them, tell them we said hello."

"We'll do that. It would be nice if the six of us could get together again."

"It would be and it just might happen, if schedules continue to improve for us. 

"What about next weekend?"

Buck told them, "I'll be tied up in Middleton at least through Saturday. We're trying to finish that apartment complex job over there."

"That was a big job."

"Damn good money maker too."

They abandoned the last of their drinks and each couple went their own way.  "You know Layla, it seems odd how we could hardly get enough of them. Of me making love to Anita and so forth, and now look at us. Except for the different way we look at life now, we're about back to the way we were before our first visit to Discovery."

"I know what you mean, but we're far from the way we were back then. I think after Buck and Anita got back from Discovery, we were all burning our candles at both ends, and it just caught up with us. I'm not sorry for anything we've done and I'm not ready to go back to our old stuffy selves, but I'm not unhappy about slowing down, at least for awhile."

"The four of us came pretty close to making some really bad decisions."

"Yes we did."

Saturday Buck went back to Middleton in the hopes of seeing that job finished, even if it meant working late. Anita used her morning to clean the house and then after a shower met Carly and Kali for lunch. It was a typical gathering for them.  They talked about the spring fashions and people they knew and debated what stores would be in the strip mall being built and they avoided men, relationships and Phoenix Lane. Anita was home by two and she felt a little at a loss of what to do with herself, but that all changed when her doorbell rang.

She checked the peephole and then smiling, opened the door and said, "Doug, this is a nice surprise, come in."

"Sorry I didn't call ahead, but I discovered I don't have your number in my new cell phone."

"That's okay."

"I was on my way back from Carbondale and decided at the last minute to see if you and Buck were home."

"Well I am, but Buck is in Middleton until who knows when tonight. I have fresh coffee if you're interested."

"No thanks." She led the way to the couch and they sat down next to each other.

"Oh, before I forget it, Mitch and Layla said to tell you and Kali hello."

"How are they doing?"

"Great as far as I can tell." 

Then he took her hand in his and asked her, "And how about you, how are you  doing?"

She willingly gave him her hand and smiled as she said, "I'm doing fine.  Judging from how you look, I'd guess you are too."

They continued to sit there and touch and hold hands, flirt and tease each other, subtle in the beginning, but becoming more overt as the minutes ticked by. Their first kiss was a little tentative, but no less significant or enjoyable. Not nearly as much time passed before they shared a second kiss and it was only minutes later that they kissed again. Each kiss was a little longer and their tongues became more active each time. The next kiss had Doug almost on top of Anita and then his hand was exploring under her top as her hands went up inside of his shirt and all over his bare back. Since the first time that they saw him at the apartment, Layla had said she could stand to look at Doug all day and that's just how Anita felt too. All of their almost innocent teasing and flirting in the past had been building to where they were, and nothing was going to stop them now. 

Anita boldly stood up and with Doug's hand in hers, she led them to the bedroom where he undressed her and teased her with his hands and his tongue, as he worshipped her body from lips to pussy. He stopped long enough to undress and minutes later they were making love, starting off tenderly as they kissed and even whispered back and forth as they kept their little secrets from the walls. Their gentleness lasted just so long and then his hips started to get into their mission of seeing to Anita's pleasure and satisfaction. They didn't last any longer than most couples, but that didn't matter. They finally stopped and he lay next to her and they talked more and rested. Her hand stayed with his cock and his fingers touched and explored her between her legs. Every so often, she would have to stop in the middle of a sentence and almost hold her breath as he teased her lips and clit, and her hand managed to get him hard again by touching his cock head with her finger and then explore his cock and balls.

They were determined to make love again and they did, and they lasted even longer than the first time. The stars must have been aligned just right for them, because that's how they spent the next couple of hours. Rest, make love, talk and tease, and then do their best to make love again. Him on top, Anita on top or on their sides, it didn't matter. That was the longest that Anita had ever made love and she wanted more, but her body refused to continue. They were done, but they both knew that would not be their last time together.


 Chapter One Hundred Fifty One


After a quick breakfast the next Saturday morning Buck and Mitch went up to Phoenix Lane while the women went shopping. The sun was shining, but the temperatures were still on the cool side. That was great for working, but not good for going around bare assed or even in shorts for too long at a time. They stopped at Ethel's and had lunch and she agreed to come up later in the day so she and Mitch could talk business, then it was on to the market and then to their apartment.

As soon as the groceries were stowed they made coffee and went out and enjoyed the view from the balcony. "You know Buck, I could really get used to being here if there was just a little more to do. Once things green up this is going to be great."

"It really is. There is already some signs of spring in the bushes and low growth, so it should be even better by the time of your open house."

"It should be. I'm going to have coffee and soft drinks, and Ethel said she'd come up with some snacks for the day. For the buyers, I plan to have wine and some kind of gift that I have yet to figure out."

"How about a year of association fees?"

"That's a good idea. I'll have some fancy certificate printed up and make a big deal out of it."

"How about having a photographer here to take their pictures too."

"You're pretty good at this, another great idea. We can do that in the playhouse.  That way if they can be convinced to be photographed in the nude, they'd be warm."

"Sure, hang some kind of sign off of the stage curtain or something tastefully erotic."

"That's what we have to do. You and Anita have to be here for this open house too."

"I'll tell her." 

Buck looked to his left just in time to see Winnie appear saying, "Well, two handsome men on the balcony, how nice."

Buck met her about half way and they shared a light peck on the lips before he said, "Hi sexy, we didn't know you were here."

"Been here three days. Jeff got a call and had to drive to Philadelphia and won't be back until tomorrow or Monday."

"So you're stranded here?" 

"I am, now don't you feel sorry for me?"

"It breaks my heart. In fact I think you should stick with me until your hubby gets back. We're just going to check a few things, and Mitch needs to talk to Wendy, Jim, and Ethel while we're here."

"Will you behave?"

"You mean I have to behave all weekend?"

"No, silly that's exactly what I don't want you to do."

"Oh, well then I believe we were meant to be together," and he looked at Mitch.  "Don't you think so?"

Mitch just smiled and said, "I do believe you are right. I, on the other hand, have to behave for the most part, because I have too much to do."

"Winnie, he's just looking for sympathy so pay no attention to him. Besides, I'm willing to bet he and Wendy can entertain each other at some point." 

"Oh, I have little doubt of that." 

Mitch told them, "If you're going to talk about me, aren't you supposed to do it so I can't hear you?"

Buck laughed and told him, "We'll have time for that later."

"Let's go over to the Playhouse. I want to look around and think about what we'll do for the open house."

"Yes let's do that, I've never been in there," Winnie said. "Wendy told me a little about it so I'm dying of curiosity."

The three of them walked to the end of the square and then on to the Playhouse where Mitch unlocked the door and they went in. It took them a minute to find a light switch and then Buck took Winnie's hand and led her around the corner.  There in front of them the chairs were still lined up, but dusty. Up at the front was the stage with the curtain pulled about halfway back and holding Winnie's hand in his, he led her to the front and then started to tease her. "Okay now honey, imagine all of the chairs behind us are full of townspeople. All people you know at least to some extent. You and I are sitting here in the front row and the curtain opens, a woman named Peggy is standing off to our right and she's the MC for the show.  She picks a man and a woman out of the audience. Oh no, she's picked you and me, Winnie." He smiles at her as she listens and watches him, but she isn't smiling.  "Okay honey, here we go up on the stage, and as Peggy talks, a large mat is lowered to the stage and spread out for us...for you and me. As Peggy talks and urges us on, I slowly undress you as everybody watches us. Oh Winnie, you do look so sexy naked and I can't wait to be with you." 

Mitch is trying to think about his plans, but he can't help but hear what Buck is saying, so he sits down next to Winnie and says, "Peggy says I'm to join you and Buck. She wants both of us to make love to you while everybody watches us."

Buck smiles and continues with, "That's it Winnie, undress Mitch and me. I like feeling you touch me as my clothes drop to the floor and I look at your nakedness."

Winnie looked at Mitch and then at Buck and said, "Both of you better stop, because you're...it all seems just a little too real and you're getting to me." Buck pulled her to her feet and into his arms and kisses her. She responds a little timidly for a second, but then she lets go and they go into a long and deep kiss. Then before she can recover from that, Mitch turns her to him and they kiss deeply. She was still reeling form those kisses as both men started to undress her and she willingly and almost eagerly submitted herself to them. They didn't know how to lower one of the pads, but that didn't stop them. As soon as Winnie was stripped, both guys all but ripped off their clothes and joined her on the floor and their hands went all over her body as they kissed and touched her from her lips to her knees.  Buck was first to move between her legs and she reached down for his hard cock with her right hand as her left hand tried to find Mitch's cock.

Mitch moved closer to her and Buck touched her pussy with his cock head, and then eased between her lips until he was buried in her. She was trying to get Mitch's cock in her mouth, but before she could, she moaned and told Buck, "Oh, yes, fuck me, honey," and Mitch's hands went to her breasts. 

On they went until Buck pushed into her and gave her all that he could. He had to stop, so he moved aside and Mitch moved between her legs. Buck moved up and took over kissing her and caressing her breasts as Winnie mumbled softly and then whispered, "Oh God, yes, yes..."

Mitch didn't last all that long, but Winnie had blown through at least two orgasms, if not three and was used up. Mitch lay on his side on the other side of her and they shared a soft kiss. She looked at him and then at Buck and said, "My God, you two are dangerous. So you had this all planned I assume."

Buck smiled and told her, "Not at all. Until you joined us on the balcony, we didn't even know you were around. No, all of that came about quite spontaneously.  I just wanted to tease you for now, but it only took me a minute to realize I wanted more. I wanted all of you."

She smiled at him and then at Mitch and said, "Well, you two certainly had all of me." They stood up and Mitch directed her to the bathroom and they dressed while they waited for her. When she came out she wiped up the large spot on the floor and then looked at her lovers again as Mitch told her, "I think you should stay naked."

"You're crazy, I'm cold. The next time turn on the heat okay?"

"Anything for you, darlin'." 


Chapter One Hundred Fifty Two


Mitch went back to what he needed to do and told Winnie, "I'm trying to picture things for the open house. You know, to put on a show for potential buyers and to treat the residents at the same time."

"What were you thinking?"

"Buck and I have been kicking some ideas around, like a year of association fees and maybe a photographer to wander around."

"So you want this for buyers, but also for residents. The photographer is okay I guess, but not that impressive."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I have one. A wine tasting."

"Oh really? Tell me more."

"Well, awhile back we met this guy that gives wine parties. He comes in with all kinds of wines and sets up a bar of sorts. Then the tasting begins and he starts taking orders. Everybody gets a fair share of free wine to drink and he makes a nice commission."

"So this wouldn't even cost me anything?"

"Well, I'd suggest cheese and crackers and that sort of thing, but he charges no fee. His prices aren't the cheapest around, but his wines are very good and he knows what he's doing." 

"I knew you were so much more than a pretty face and a sexy body and I was right. Can you contact this guy for me?"

"Sure."

"Then I'll see that buyers get their choice of a case or two of wine and maybe even three cases. The residents will have a ton of snacks and free wine to sip.  Damn this sounds good." Winnie finally finished dressing and the threesome left with her between them and holding their hands. Now she just had to decide what, if anything, she was going to tell Jeff when he got home. She also knew she wanted to experience something like that again one day.

The three of them went into Mitch and Buck's apartment and dropped onto the couch with her sitting between her men. "Can I get you anything, Winnie," Mitch offered.

"Nothing, but thank you. So when is this open house?"

"In two weeks. That's why I have to get with Jim, because he's going to make sure that the residents are aware of it, and I need to go over some of the details with him."

"Well, I'm going home and shower."

"Join us for dinner then."

"I'll bet you didn't plan on company though."

"We did plan on it. Well, we were hoping so we bought extra."

"Then I accept, just come get me when it's time. I seem to have a need to rest for some reason."

"Must be the company you keep."

She smiled and said, "Without a doubt that's it," and she left.

Mitch looked at Buck and said, "Well, you started something with your damn story telling."

"Yeah. Suppose we could try that with somebody else sometime?"

"We just might get away with it one more time."

Wendy joined Winnie and had dinner with the guys and they talked over iced tea after dinner. Then before it got too late, Winnie stood up and pulled Buck to his feet. "Okay, you're the one that started everything earlier today and the reason I'm tired. You're going home with me so we can talk."

"Will this take a long time?"

"Maybe all night."

"Good. Night you two," and the two of them went to Winnie's apartment, leaving Wendy and Mitch to fend for themselves.

As soon as Buck closed the door behind them Winnie put her arms around him and said, "You know what you and Mitch pulled was pretty sneaky. Is that how it really was at the Playhouse?"

"Well more often than not, there would be two couples up there at the same time, but other than that, it was pretty much like we described it."

"I can't imagine doing that. I mean dozens of people I know watching me make love."

"If you have a good partner, you would probably either forget there was an audience, or before long you just wouldn't care."

"Let's get undressed and just talk in bed. I want to hear what it was like back before the big change."

"Didn't Wendy tell you all of that?" 

"Some of it, but I want to hear how it was from your perspective. You and your wives." 

"Very funny. I take it Wendy told you about Kali and all of that."

"Not all of it. I tried to get her to tell me everything, but she wouldn't. She did tell me about you and Kali, and something about a big mess that you and Kali helped fix. She also told me about the emotional mess you two got into. I'm glad you were able to get that cleared up."

"Well sort of. I...well never mind. Okay, so about how it used to be," and for the next hour or so he told her stories and she asked questions. They also kissed and teased until finally, about one in the morning they made love again and Buck said, "I like it being just you and me better. This way I don't have to share you."

Winnie kissed him and smiled but added nothing to what he had said. 


Chapter One Hundred Fifty Three


Buck and Winnie had breakfast and then with fresh cups of coffee, went next door and joined Mitch and Wendy. Mitch was going over to see Jim and Delia, so Winnie and Buck, armed with tape measure pad and pen, headed to the hardware store to take measurements and Wendy was going to clean her cottage. They each went their own way and Buck and Winnie were now like old friends. They shared little secrets and teased each other as she helped him measure before they wandered around the old hardware store and checked out what little inventory was left behind. 

Then it was on to the Men's store where they went on with their chores.

Mitch, in the meantime, had talked to Jim and Delia and was back at the apartment just before Ethel arrived, and they settled at the kitchen table and talked about some potential clients to add to the open house. They both knew that if things went well, both of them could make a lot of money and Mitch might even consider building more apartments. When Mitch told her about having a wine tasting, she loved the idea and said she would see to the cheese plates and a few other goodies if she could use her old restaurant for a few hours. Of course, that was no problem at all, and by the time Ethel left, Mitch felt like he was well on his way to being ready for the open house.

Buck and Mitch talked over a late lunch and then Mitch said, "There isn't much more I can do here right now, but I have a lot to do at home."

"Want to head back?"

"Yeah, if you don't mind after I talk to Wendy about something."

"Works for me. While you talk to her I'll go see Winnie and tell her she's being abandoned before long."

It took Mitch about half an hour to talk to Wendy and then the two of them headed home with the two of them talking about the open house plans. "Buck, Wendy is going to talk to Winthrop Fashions and see if we can make a limited purchase of articles for the open house."

"To give away?"

"Only to those that buy, but anybody else can purchase items. Of course, all of them will have to deal with the open dressing area which should liven things up. I decided that would be a good place for the photographer too. Again, free for the buyers, but for a fee for the others. Just a memento of this lifestyle we're trying to sell."

After Mitch dropped Buck off he went in the front door and found Anita in the kitchen. "Hi Nita."




It's All About Faith Pt. 10



by Phillip Johnson


Chapter One Hundred Sixty


Buck found Kali still dressed and half lying on the couch. He went over to her and sat her up, dropped onto the couch and then brought her back across his lap.  "You okay, hon," he asked?

"I'm okay. I just wanted to be in here where it's warm and comfortable. How are you doing, Buck? You have an awful lot on your mind right now."

"Yeah I have. Damn, I hope I did the right thing."

"I really believe you did. If I was your wife and you came to me with that, I'd say buy it, so that's why I say that."

"So you really see Nita and me drifting apart?"

"I'm afraid I do. Not because of this argument. That's all understandable and can be worked out. I don't know, maybe I'm nuts. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Could we just talk about something else?"

It wasn't long before Buck was sitting at the table drawing some sketches of how the land could best be used. Mitch's ten acres were at the back of the development and he had to keep that in mind as he drew different rectangles and then put in homes and streets. Then he'd put that aside and draw a new one with a different layout. Kali finally went over to him bent down and kissed his cheek.  "Honey, let's go to bed. I'm sure you'll think much more clearly in the morning.  You look so tired right now." They went to bed and held and kissed and lay close to each other, but lovemaking was far from Buck's mind right then. Buck didn't last ten minutes before he was sound asleep.

When he woke in the morning, it was like no time had passed. He opened his eyes and saw Kali looking at him. With a smile she said, "Morning, hon."

"Morning. Kind of died last night didn't I."

"You hardly moved all night. Coffee is ready."

"You've been up?"

Long enough to make coffee and come back to bed for a few minutes, oh and it's raining."  Buck was just sitting up when she said that, but he dropped back down and said, "Oh shit. That field will be a muddy mess and we don't have raingear. I have to get the acreage staked off today."

"Then I suggest we take Wendy's car and go to Ethel's for breakfast, and then buy raingear as we get the tools we'll need. Have you figured out how you want to shape the land?"

"I think so. There are so many options, but I'm going with one that will allow development in six sections. Ten properties per section, more if some of them are apartments." They took quick showers, dressed and made their run to Renovo and back. The rain had all but stopped, but it was still going to be a muddy mess as they plodded around measuring, staking, and tying string to the stakes." Then it was back to the apartment, strip and leave their muddy shoes and gear outside and went in for another shower. 

There was a message waiting so Kali hit the button and heard Anita said, "I'm on my way up to get you two, and I should be there by three o'clock," and that was followed by the click of the disconnection. That was the total message. No, I'm sorry, or even any pleasantries.

Kali looked at Buck and said, "Well, she's either still very mad, or she's embarrassed by her actions. One thing for sure, she won't arrive smiling and jovial."

Buck was stuffing his dirty clothes into his small suitcase when Anita came into the apartment and he heard Anita say, "Hi, Kali." Her voice didn't sound cheerful, but there wasn't that note of bitterness he expected to hear either. Rather than go right out, he stood there pretending to finish what he was doing as Anita asked Kali, "Where's Buck?"

"In the bedroom getting ready to go home."

"Buck," she called out, "I'm here." Again her voice sounded neutral so he said, "Be there in a sec, Nita." He paused for another moment and then went out bag in hand. "I'm as ready as I'll get," again no small talk. They locked the apartment and headed home with Buck in the backseat, content to look out of the window and not talk. Kali and Anita shared some conversation because Anita wasn't mad at Kali, but overall it was a quiet ride home. They stopped in Wilkes-Barre for dinner, and then dropped Kali off at her apartment and in a short time they were home. It was time for their discussion because what Anita had done had to be discussed.

Buck unloaded his bag in the laundry room and put the suitcase in the cupboard behind him. He found Anita sitting in the chair in the living room so he sat on the couch and said, "Well, let's get on with this, Nita."

"Buck, before anything is said, I have to apologize for leaving you stranded there. That was childish of me and I'm sorry."

"Thank you, so let's put that behind us. The real issue is the land as I see it."

"That's a big one that's for sure." She was looking at him and there wasn't an edge to her voice so perhaps they could have a calm discussion about everything. 

"Nita, have you thought anymore about what I said about not having any time to consult you?"

"Yes. I think Faith was just being Faith and just showing her power over you, or at least that no doubt was her perception of what happened. If they are there tomorrow to survey the farm, I'd be very surprised."

"But remember, we had no way of knowing that. My only option was to say yes I'll take it, or no I'll pass. I asked her for fifty acres and even that was more than would be needed, but that's the number that jumped into my mind right then. I'd have been just as happy with fifteen acres, just enough to put a few more houses on.  My hope and plan is to just develop a small square of that land and then sell the rest. Of course if that square did great I'd want to do one more section before selling out."

"But don't you see, you are gambling not just with your money, but our money.  I'm an equal partner in this mess that I didn't want. We were doing fine as we were. We're far from poor you know."

"I know."

"So you think you can sell that property just as it is for twice what you paid for it."

"I already have an offer," but he wasn't going to tell her it was from Mitch.  "I'm smart enough to know that wouldn't happen overnight, but it's worth more than that even."

"Buck, I want a divorce." Buck just sat there looking at her. "I'm sorry. I still love you, but not enough anymore. You've changed."

"Don't look now, but so have you. You've changed a lot in fact. I still love you too, Nita, but now that the shock has passed, I have to say I'm not that surprised."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you've been seeing handsome Doug, and I mean behind my back.  Seeing him and not telling me in advance or even after the fact. Here and other places." He didn't know about the other places part, but he decided to throw that in and see what she said. It was her turn to be surprised. She studied him and then looked away as she tried to decide what to say in response. "Nita, look at how our lives have changed. We go to Phoenix Lane and at the drop of a hat we fuck other people. No romance, no checking with each other. Oh, we might be together, so it isn't a secret, but there is no hesitation. I'm just as guilty of that as you are and it's taking its toll on both of us. How in the hell can we continue to live that way and not experience big changes in the way we think and respond to others?"

"Buck, what do you mean I've been seeing Doug?"

"Nita, it wasn't hard to spot. Even Kali figured it out and was going to tell Doug it was over between them."

"Then why didn't you say something?"

Buck was dancing on a thin line between truth and lies. "I hadn't decided what to say or do. I wanted to talk to Kali about it, just on the off chance I could be wrong, but of course I wasn't." He wanted her to believe he knew everything in the hopes she might share more information with him. "When we were swapping with Layla and Mitch, I was sure that if we got a divorce, it would be so we could marry them and, for Layla and me at least, that came fairly close to happening. We weathered that, but not without cost. It was just one more pull, one more thing to nudge us farther apart. At the time, we blew it off as a grand experiment that we survived and moved on with no damage done. We were wrong, of course."

"Buck, I'm sorry. I really am."

He wiped tears from his eyes and asked her, "So how do you want to go about this?"

"I don't know. That damn land purchase really complicates thing though."

"So that's part of the reason you got so raving mad. You were afraid that would utterly destroy your plans, yours and Doug's." She didn't deny that. "So you knew even then that you were going to divorce me."

"No, I didn't know then."

"Nita, you had to be very close to it, because that happened less than forty eight hours ago and I don't think you came up with this idea and acted on it in that short span of time."

There was a defensive tone in her voice as she replied, "No, of course not. I've been thinking about it for months, but I hadn't decided." Now she was crying as she let her tears slip down her cheek and said, "Buck, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. We've done so much together, shared, and endured so much together. But we both know you and Kali will be together soon."

"We may be, but I just don't know right now." Buck's head was tipped back against the high backed couch and he looked at the ceiling. There was no hope of thinking clearly and making objective decisions at that point.

"Buck, neither of us has to hurry and move out. We need time to sort this out and come to an agreement on the property and money and so forth."

He was still looking at the ceiling as he said, "I can't believe we're having this conversation. I'm going for a walk to see if some cool air will help me to think.  I'll be back in a little bit," and he went out through the front door and disappeared down the sidewalk.


Chapter One Hundred Sixty One


Buck and Anita never did lose their temper with each other over the coming days. She finally admitted that her reaction to Buck's announcement to her about buying the acreage, was fueled by how it would complicate, and possibly delay, going through with the divorce, but it was much later before she would admit that she and Doug planned to be married. They continued to live together as they sorted through possessions and finances, but Buck now used the guest room instead of them sharing a bed. 

Anita told Layla and Mitch, and the two women had some heated conversation over that, but in the end, Layla had to admit that what Nita was doing wasn't any different than what the four of them had planned to do at one point.

The thing that helped Buck over the next couple of weeks was talking to Mitch almost every night about what could and should be done with the land that Buck now owned. 

At first, when Buck told Kali about the divorce she cried, because she thought she might be the cause of it, or at least a major contributor, but she and Anita finally talked and they worked that out. Buck had lunch with Kali and they talked about where Buck was going to live, because it was decided that Anita would get the house and contents, and Buck would have the acreage and future profits from it.  That meant that Buck could lose his ass, or come out of it in good shape, and it could be a long time before he would know which it would be. As he and Kali talked she said, "I wish I could tell you to come live with me, Buck, but I don't think that would be a good idea until you better know your feelings. You and I have shared too much, and without a doubt that would interfere with your decision making."

"I know. That idea came to me early on and I'm still not sure it would be a bad idea, but hearing you say it that way, I can't argue with you."

"Do you really think the divorce thing came about because of her being with Doug?"

"I doubt I'll ever know for sure, hon. I know she cares for him a lot. I know you were right that day when you said Nita and I were drifting apart. I know that things in our past damaged our relationship more than we ever realized or would admit to each other or ourselves. I really don't think it was any one thing, is what I'm saying I guess. She did love Mitch, and she still does, but not as intensely now.  That took a toll on her.

"So you and I being together in Discovery, contributed to the divorce too then."

"I'm sure it did. She put on one hell of a brave face. I was in awe of her strength. But now I'm convinced she was trying to bury her feelings and pretend it never happened. Now add those damages to her issues with Mitch. It had to pile up on her. I loved you just a little too much. Had she known how much I really did love you, it would have been over right then."

"So you don't love me that much now, is that what you're saying?"

"I love you every bit as much Kali, but I'm trying to keep that separate from what's going on right now. Life for me just isn't a whole lot of fun right now."

"Buck, I love you. That means that I love you just as much right now when you're down. That means I want to be here for you and help you however I can."

"I love you too, Kali. I guess I better go, because I have to come up with a place to live until things settle down and I know more about where life is taking me."

"Buck, maybe you could stay with Brenda or Carly. I mean just for a...I don't know, maybe a few weeks."

"Kali are you aware of what you're saying? Have you forgotten about everything: Me with Brenda, me with Carly and so on?"

"Well, maybe not Brenda."

"I can't believe you. You don't think it's a bad idea for me to stay with Carly?"

"Buck, I'm just trying to help and I can't come up with anything else."

"I really care for Carly and I miss seeing her, but that wouldn't be a good idea.  You and I both know we'd end up making love and sitting in front of the TV and talking the evenings away."

"Okay, maybe that wasn't such a good idea."

"I'll come up with something, hon. It isn't like Anita is kicking me out right away. I need to be out of there, but I do have a little time." They shared a light kiss then and Buck headed back toward Scranton and his office at the plumbing shop.

He was just out of Wilkes-Barre when he got a call on his cell phone. "This is Buck."

"Hi Buck, it's Faith."

"Well I'll be damned, how are you?"

It was like he could hear the smile in her voice. "I'm fine."

"I thought you were leaving the area."

"I haven't decided. I just had to get out of that house. I don't need that much real estate and I was sick of dealing with the farm. I don't need any of that so why put myself through that grief."

"I take it the rest of the land sale went well."

"Some aspects of it are still to be settled, but everything is coming together."

"Faith, thank you very much for selling me that property, all I needed were a few acres, but I couldn't say no to the hundred either."

"I was very impressed by how quickly you made that decision. I know that's a lot of money for you."

"I'm glad to have it, but that decision contributed to my getting a divorce."

"Your what?"

"Anita and I are getting a divorce, Faith."

"Oh God, I'm so sorry to hear that."

"Thanks."

"What will happen now?"

"Well right now I'm trying to decide what to do about a place to live. I hate to sign a lease until I have a better idea of where things are going, but I'll have to do something soon. Right now I'm living in the guest room at home."

"So you and Anita aren't fighting?"

"Not really, no, but it's an awkward situation to say the least."

"I'm sure it is."

"So you're selling the whole farm, however many thousand acres it is?"

"Most of it. I'm going to lease out one section, simply because, like you, I don't know what I'll be doing in the future or where I'll end up. I'm trying to rediscover my life too. Buck, I don't mean this to sound like I'm sure it will, but I'm looking for what I want to do. I don't need to work or get involved in business. I still have the warehousing enterprise, but that's as much for fun as anything else. My God, I sold over four thousand acres of good farmland, so pick a number and do the math."

"I don't think my calculator goes that high, Faith."

She laughed and said, "I know. I leave all of that to my accountant and investment people to worry about now. I proved that I'm not as clever with money as Max was."

"You did your best, Faith. Your problem was you thought like a woman and not a business person. You did what you what you wanted to see done. That's all you were guilty of."

"That cost me many millions of dollars and a quite a few friends."

"I know. Have you been back to...well, what is now Phoenix Lane?"

"No. I've been by it a couple of times, but I wouldn't be very welcome there."

"I don't think you'd be thrown out. I didn't get the impression that Jim and Delia hold any hard feelings against you, and I know Wendy doesn't and of course Rae...sorry, Roberta thinks the world of you. Quite a few of the new residents don't even know you."

"Just the same, it's no place for me now. I've talked to Wendy a few times, and of course, Peggy, and they've told me about the changes. It sounds like things are going well, considering where it was headed before."

"Just don't keep beating yourself up over it, Faith. It's all in the past, and I still say the chances of Discovery surviving long term as a town were nil. The population would age and desires and needs would change. Outside influences would invade it, because it's impossible to keep secrets like that." Buck was back at his plumbing shop, but he sat there and continued to talk to Faith.

"Buck, I assume you plan to develop the land that you bought then?"

"Well at least some of it, enough to cover my investment, and of course, make me a few dollars at least."

"So you don't intend to do a full development then."

"I can't see it happening. The odds of having sixty or more units occupied in a reasonable time are unrealistic. I'll go a little ways and then wait to decide. I just need enough profit to replace my hundred grand and cover the cost of the infrastructure."

"It was nice to talk to you again."

"It was good to hear from you, Faith, thanks for calling."

"Bye, Buck." He closed the phone and just sat there with a crooked smile on his face. Poor Faith. Still rich, but now not very happy from the sounds of it. She almost sounded like she had lost all of her so called friends. Like she really was being forced to examine where she was and where she wanted to be. For that matter, maybe even who she wanted to be.

When Buck got home he told Anita about his call from Faith and how she sounded. "Buck, do you suppose she was trying to get something started between you two?"

"I really didn't get that feeling. Like I said, she sounded a little down if anything. I think she's trying to find out who her friends are now, or at least who she can talk to without being verbally assaulted. She's being punished for doing what she thought was right and what would make the people of Discovery happy.  Sadly, she got the opposite effect in the end."

"You going to go see her?"

"I do want to see her one of these days, but no, I'm not going to go running to wherever she is to see her. In fact, when I see her it will be at a restaurant somewhere."

"Someplace safe and neutral."

"Exactly. Nita, I'll be moving soon. I looked at an apartment today and I'm trying to talk them into a three month lease, but either way I have to get on with this."

"Buck..."

"It's okay, Nita."

She started to tear up again as she said, "I was so certain that you would end up at Kali's by now."

"She said that wouldn't be a smart thing to do and I have to agree with her. My mind is so screwed up right now that I can't trust myself to make those decisions."

"But you love her, you've said that many times."

"I love you too. I love Layla and...I better go take care of a few things." Then he stopped and asked her, "Why haven't you been with Doug?"




It's All About Faith Pt. 10



"He's been out of town. Besides it wouldn't be right to have him here."

"You have the right to do whatever you want."

"I have the right, but I still think that would be cruel and unforgivable of me."  Buck said nothing more and went to the computer room and logged onto to check his e-mail.


Chapter One Hundred Sixty Two


Buck was on his way to a construction site when he got a call from Carly. "Hi Buck, you doing okay?"

"It's good to hear your voice, how are you?"

"I'm fine. I was with Kali last night and we spent part of the evening talking about you and Anita. Well you mostly. Kali said she suggested you stay with me until something is figured out."

"Did she also tell you what I said?"

"She did as a matter of fact. When can you move in?"

"Carly, I'm not going to do that."

"Let me guess. You're afraid that we'll screw our brains out and you'll end up never leaving or whatever." 

"I don't know what I'm afraid of. You and I have a special relationship."

"Yeah, we enjoy talking to each other."

"You know there's more to it than that."

"Buck, I know you love Kali. Why you two can't do something about that I still don't understand, but that's up to you two. Look, I have a guest room with its own bathroom."

"Right, a guest room, not a motel or a rental. Friends and fish smell after three days, haven't you ever heard that?"

"Well, you have to shower if you live here."

"You're too cute, and I appreciate you trying to help, and I love you, but the answer is still no."

"You do not love me."

"I love you like a sister."

"You'd make love to your sister?"

"Well okay, more than a sister...different than a sister, whatever." Buck was so tempted by her offer, but he knew that wasn't the answer. He also knew he had to do something before he changed his mind. "Don't worry about me love, I'll have an apartment by tonight."

"Okay, but I'm serious."

"I know and thank you, love."

Buck worked until lunch and then spent the rest of the day getting an apartment and moving his clothes and other essentials. Doing that really magnified the reality of his situation. He also knew that he had to have everything out of the house that he was going to take, because Doug would almost certainly be there and he wasn't ready to deal with that just yet.

That all happened on Wednesday and he was still getting his mind around that Thursday when Faith called him again. "Hi Buck, it's me."

"Good morning."

"Are you adjusting to your new life?"

"Working on it, I just moved into an apartment last night in fact."

"That wasn't much fun was it?"

"Not much fun at all."

"I know. My move was voluntary and it was still traumatic."

"Where do you live now, Faith?"

"Williamsport, or rather on the outskirts of it, I have all of one acre, can you believe that?"

"That must feel like an apartment to you."

She laughed and said, "Yes it does. I so miss being able to just walk outside without worrying about being dressed."

"I'm sure you do."

"Buck, are you going to Phoenix Lane this weekend?"

"Mitch, Layla, Kali, and I were talking about doing just that to talk about future plans."

"Could you come early, say Friday night? I want to talk business with you for an hour or so, maybe over dinner. One advantage of living in town, is I have restaurants to choose from. It's my treat of course."

"Faith, I'm close to broke, so if this is about buying more or whatever, I don't have the means."

"No, I'm not selling anything, love, but that's all I'm telling you until dinner.  Can you make it?"

He told himself to say no, but what did he say? "Yes, I can make it. Just tell me where and when."

"The Olive Garden would be best, because it's not far out of your way. Say six?"

"Yes, I know where the Olive Garden is. See you at six then Faith, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again." Then he called Mitch and told him about the change in plans.

"Buck, be careful buddy."

"She can't hurt me now. I own the property and I'm near broke, so she can't take it back or sell me more. I'm just curious what she's up to now." 

"I have to give Faith credit for one thing. She may get knocked down, but she doesn't stay down for long. I'll be curious what she has to say and how she looks.  I'll also be curious what Kali has to say about seeing her again." That was the next thing Buck had to do, call Kali and tell her the news.

"Hi Kali, it's me."

"Hi, hon, how is the move going?"

"I'm as in as I'm going to get. Listen, I got a call from Faith."

"This can't be good."

"She wants to have dinner with us Friday night in Williamsport and talk business. Now before you say anything I told her I couldn't buy anything even if I wanted to, but she said she wasn't selling anything."

"What do you think she's up to?"

"I don't know. I just told Mitch that it's too late for her to change her mind about the property and I'm too poor to buy anything else, so she can't hurt me now.  Can you go Friday night?"

"I can, but I won't. I'll ride up with Mitch and Layla. You go see what she's up to and we'll meet you at the apartment Saturday morning."

"Don't you want to see her and hear what her story is?"

"Not especially. I don't hate her or even dislike her for that matter. But I'd just sit there and listen to you two talk business and have my guard up the whole time.  You just be damn sure you're at the apartment when we get there."

"Well, if you change your mind just say so okay?"

"I will."


Chapter One Hundred Sixty Three


Buck made it a point to be at the Olive Garden a little early and waited for Faith just inside. He smiled when he saw her come in and she walked into his arms. "It's good to see you again, Buck."

"You look great as always, Faith."

"Thank you, but with all that has been going on, I'm afraid that stress has taken its toll."

"If it has, I don't see it." They stood there with their arms around each other's waist and waited for the hostess and Buck told her, "You have me very curious about what you might have in mind."

She smiled and said, "Let's have a light dinner and talk about better days, and then we'll go back to my place and talk business. I have a nice satiny port that will be perfect for after dinner."

"I'm yours to direct." Again she smiled, but this time she said nothing.

Buck expected Faith's home to be impressive and it was. Not as ostentatious as he had expected it to be, but it was impressive and he told her how impressed he was.

"But I have no pool and not much privacy now."

"That had to be hard to give up."

"It was, but I was going crazy being so isolated out there. Okay, a taste of port and talk of business in the sunroom." Buck obediently followed her to the sunroom and they settled into soft brightly colored chairs next to each other. They talked of little things as they enjoyed their sweet after dinner drinks and then Faith asked him, "Have you made firm plans for what you'll do with the hundred acres?"

"Not firm plans, but we made some drawings of what we think we want to do with it."

"More homes for Phoenix Lane I assume."

"Right. In stages though. Half a dozen homes and wait to see how that goes.  You're not going to ask me to sell it back to you are you?"

She smiled and said, "No. I have no need for more property of any kind and as long as I don't do anything like I did with Discovery I have more money than I'll ever need or even want.  I only make mistakes of that magnitude once."

"Still beating yourself up over that?"

"I am and I will for a very long time. I was told not long ago that Ethel wouldn't speak to me if we met on the street. It hurts when I hear news like that. I don't blame her, but it still hurts. You know Buck, I'd never tasted failure before Discovery."

"That had to make it even harder for you."

"It was a terrible wake up call. Max had me believing that I could do no wrong.  I also believed that all of my successes were from what I did, when in reality he was always there with just the right word or idea to save me from myself. Okay, that's all history. Let's talk about the present and the future. What would you say if I were to tell you that I know somebody that is very interested in your hundred acres?"

"Already? I'm not sure the ink is dry from our transaction." 

I'd heard a rumor not long before I sold most of the farm. I gambled on the rumor and that's why I said you had to buy a hundred acres minimum. I had a strong feeling that something was brewing."

"Then why didn't you keep it?"

"Unlike Max, I'm not driven to make more and more money. I told you that I have more than I'll ever use, so why work to make even more? This way I made a few dollars by selling it to you. If I was wrong, you could still sell it for more than you paid for it. But if I was right, you could make a handsome profit; minimal risk with good potential. I believed that would be considered a good business decision, and you did too, or you wouldn't have bought the land."

"Are you talking about the whole hundred acres...I mean what if I sold, say eighty of it? Would that kill the possible deal with this other party?"

"I don't know. I can hear them whining, but it's my guess they would still take it."

"So your only interest in this is me making money. You get nothing out of this at all."

She leaned toward him and reaching for his hand she said, "I have to be honest Buck, I do have another reason I want this to happen. I can't reveal that reason yet, but I will promise you that I'm not doing anything illegal or even hurtful. It's a personal issue much more than anything to do with business. Buck, I want you to succeed. I want all of you to succeed and to see Phoenix Lane to prosper. Beyond wanting the best for all of you, your successes will also benefit me in my reach for my goals."

"Pretty Faith, I don't know what you're up to, but to answer your question, yes I might be interested in selling eighty acres, but I have to talk to the others before I could commit myself."

"I understand."

"Come out to the apartment tomorrow and you and I can talk to the others."

She lost her smile and looking down said, "That wouldn't be a good idea, Buck."

"Faith, you won't be stoned or even spurned. I know all of that bothers you, but the best way to deal with demons is to face them down. Go in with your back straight and your chin up." It was easy to see she was struggling with the idea, and that was the first time he had ever seen Faith lose her confidence. "If you'd rather not be seen, then call me when you get there and I'll bring you up through the garage."

She stood up and extending her hand to him he joined her and she put her arms around him. "I'll do as you ask, but on one condition. Take me to bed before you go."  "Now that is an easy request. I'd be honored, love," and he followed her back through the house and up the stairs to her bedroom. As he undressed her he told her, "Just for your information, I had every intention of attempting to get you into bed anyway." Faith was the same good looking woman that he remembered and she responded to his touch as he remembered. But there was a newness to her at the same time. Maybe it was all in his mind, but she seemed to be into their lovemaking more than she used to be. She was a more active partner now and less concerned with her being satisfied above all else. They made love and that was over soon, at least that first part was. She was still under him and his cock wasn't about to go completely soft as she whispered to him and they shared soft kisses. He was lying on her and his left hand was teasing her right breast and she would move her hips just enough to keep them stirred up.

"Buck, it feels so good to be with you again. Remember that night when I called you up to join me on stage and we made love?"

"Of course I remember that night. I think we were good together that time too."

"We were better together this time though." Their teasing continued and Buck's cock responded to Faith's teasing moves, so it wasn't long before he was sliding in and out of her again and she was whispering to him as she begged him to fuck her hard and fast again. He did his best for them and though he didn't have another orgasm in him, Faith did and he watched her as it hit her. She closed her eyes as she rode it as long as she could and then they shared a soft kiss. "Buck, I wish I had more to give you."

"I wish we both did, but I'm used up too." 

They washed up and she stayed naked and watched him dress and said, "I hope I'm not making a mistake by coming to Phoenix Lane tomorrow."

"I don't see how that can be a mistake."

"I do, but I'm coming anyway." It was getting late and Buck wasn't about to spend the night with her. She walked him to the door but stood back as they kissed and then he left closing the door behind him. 

He wasn't a mile from Faith's house when he called Mitch and they talked about what Faith said, and that he'd talked her into joining them at the apartment to talk more.


Chapter One Hundred Sixty Four


Buck had snack bars and coffee for breakfast, and then showered and dressed and went to the balcony and enjoyed the cool morning air. The area was now wearing a bright spring green coat of leaves and grass and he enjoyed the view until he got too cool and his coffee was cold. He still had at least two hours until the others would arrive. He'd seen Rod and Adriana in front of their condo, or at least that's who he assumed it was because they were too far away to be certain. Wendy was gone now so that was quite a change. Wendy was good at taking life one day at a time so she was rarely down in the dumps. She had a boundless faith that things always worked out in the end. As he poured another cup of coffee, he thought about Faith and classified her as a survivor. A rich one to be sure, but she was surviving losing most if not all of her friends, both from Discovery and friends of Max and her. She survived the embarrassment of losing tens of millions of dollars and her much loved Discovery. Faith was rich, bored, and lonely, was his assessment of her now. Did that make her any more dangerous or vulnerable? It was impossible for him to decide.

Buck was still on those thoughts when Faith called and said she was out at the garage door. He put his cup on the counter, went down and let her in and they shared a warm embrace. "I just want you to know Buck, that I'm doing this for you. I feel very uncomfortable being here."

"Come up and have some coffee with me and give yourself time to adjust." As they went up he watched her shorts clad ass swing back and forth in front of his eyes so he said, "This alone is enough to make me glad you came love."

She stopped with her foot on the next step and looked back down at him with a smile. "Now we both know you aren't love starved."

"No you saw to that last night, but the view is still most excellent, and I thank you." They went up the last few steps and he followed her into the kitchen.  "Coffee, Faith?"

"Yes, thank you." He poured the last into their cups and started another pot and then turned to her. "Let's go out and enjoy the view from the balcony."

"Buck..."

"I was just out there and hardly anybody is even stirring right now."

She wasn't eager to be there and even more she dreaded going out onto the balcony. She led the way and once outside she looked around and admitted, "The balcony idea was a very good one. I like it from up here."

"I do too. Sometimes I'd rather sit up here rather than go down."

"When will the others be here?"

"Probably not for awhile, but it's hard to say. Oh, I just thought of something, be back in a second." Buck was back a few minutes later and stood beside her with his cup in his left hand and his right arm around her waist. "It's good to have spring with us finally."

"One of my favorite seasons.

Buck saw them out of the corner of his eyes, but waited until they heard, "Morning, Buck."

"Morning, Winnie, Jeff. I'd like you to meet Faith, a very good friend of mine."

They shook hands and Faith and Jeff exchanged kisses on the cheek before Jeff said, "Buck, how do you do it? You're never far from a beautiful woman."

"Don't have an answer to that one, but I'll never complain about having Faith here." They lined up at the railing and watched the trees sway in the building spring breeze as they talked. Buck could almost feel Faith smiling as she talked to the neighbors. Then Rae and Theo came across the square so Faith felt compelled to go down and say hi to them. That began Buck's plan for his resurrection of Faith. She hugged Rae who was wearing traditional tiny shorts, but a top with sleeves so Winnie wouldn't leave that alone, so she went up and changed into tiny shorts and a more revealing top and came back. Then Peggy appeared from down the road and they fell into each other's arms and held on tightly. There was still a bond there, but none of the others would know the details of that friendship.

Peggy had seen to it that the word spread, and half an hour later Ethel entered her code and came in through the gate to join the building gathering. Buck watched them closely as Ethel and Faith walked toward each other, but he didn't have to worry. They threw their arms around each other and cried. Faith's lost friends were coming back to her. As soon as they recovered and wiped their eyes, Faith went straight to Buck and hit him before she kissed him. You set me up."

"Now that wasn't my intention in the beginning."

"Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me."

"I'm just happy to see some fences being mended." The three tables were pulled closer and all of them gathered around and multiple conversations started. Then Rod and Adriana joined them. There were several strained seconds when they looked at Faith, but it wasn't long before the three of them were hugging and kissing, crying, and apologizing to each other. The air was warming nicely, so Rae led the way by stripping her top off. That nudged Winnie to do the same and in no time all of the women were topless including Faith. They all knew it was only a matter of time before they would all be naked.

Just before lunch, Kali, Layla, and Mitch arrived and they told Buck they brought lunch, so the four of them went up to eat, leaving the others to continue visiting. They ate and talked about their options and what they would like to see happen, but until they knew more about what Faith was up to they were stuck. 

They cleaned up after lunch and were making iced tea when Faith knocked and stepped in. "It's just me," and she joined them. She went straight to Buck and kissed him again before asking Kali, "Did he tell you what he did?"

"No, and I'm afraid to guess." Faith just smiled and told them about Buck rallying her old friends for a gathering. Friends that she thought she had lost forever. Kali smiled at Buck and said, "Aren't you the clever one." Buck just smiled at her in silence.

"Okay," Faith said, "I owe all of you an explanation if you have time right now."

"That's what they had been waiting for so in seconds they were all gathered at the kitchen table. She looked at Buck first and then said, "When I was in the process of selling the part of our property where your hundred acres sits I heard a rumor. At first I didn't believe it, but when I thought about it and realized another parcel of an adjoining farm had sold I knew it was true. Because of that I was able to get another fifteen hundred an acre for that five hundred acre parcel that they wanted. They weren't happy that I sold a half of a mile of road frontage to you, but I told them it was a previous arrangement and couldn't be helped. They fussed and pissed, but I just told them they'd have to negotiate with you for it."




It's All About Faith Pt. 10



Mitch was listening closely and asked, "They want it for more than farming then, because you don't need a lot of frontage for farming crops."

Faith smiled and said, "That's right. But you do need frontage if you want to build." She had their undivided attention now. "As you know, the land in this area is rolling or hilly in most places. And beyond your parcel it goes down quite a bit, enough that it would be very expensive to make it usable for building on, so that takes that whole area out of consideration for their project. They needed my land because it has great potential for golf courses. Pro class golf courses I was told, but I have to trust my source because I know nothing about golf."

"Faith," Kali said, "Why out here in the middle of nowhere?"

"It isn't anymore. With the connector road, we're less than twenty minutes from the interstate, and less than an hour from Williamsport, fifteen minutes from Renovo and so forth. We're in the middle of nowhere, but surrounded by people."

Buck said, "So what you're saying is, they really need my frontage to make their plan work as they want it to."

"That's right. Oh they have other options, but none nearly as good as your property. Now the rest is partly what I hear, and partly what just makes sense. I do know that the golf thing is the primary function. But it will have a golf academy too. I learned that's where people come to stay days at a time and take golf lessons.  They also plan tennis, and of course, tennis training, swimming pools, spas, a whole resort fronting on the highway. That keeps the main traffic away from here and that's a good thing. But whenever you see big fancy golf courses you see homes built along the edges and they go for a premium every time. They want to build a whole line of homes along the north edge of your hundred acres, and I'm willing to bet on that. Oh and Mitch, I'll bet they'd love to buy the old water tower for their irrigation system." Before anybody could form a thought Faith added, "Buck, I'd tell them you want a million and a half for eighty acres, and you keep twenty in case you want to add homes to Phoenix Lane."

"Oh shit," Mitch said. "So if we build homes there they could either be for Phoenix Lane or for the golf course people."

"That's right, however you want to do it. I'm sure I can sell the old homes down from Peggy to the people that will be working at the...resort or whatever they will call it."

Buck leaned back and said, "Faith, you can't convince me you sold me a couple of million dollars worth of land for a hundred grand."

"I didn't know the details then. I knew about the resort plans, but it was only three of four days ago that I got the rest of the story. That's when I called you.  There's a good chance that Phoenix Lane could be able to expand quite a bit before it was over. People could pay a membership to join Phoenix Lane and enjoy those benefits along with their view of the golf course or whatever. People that want to live in Phoenix Lane could pay for a membership to the country club. Each could benefit the other in other words."

"And you get what out of this Faith?"

She smiled and said, "Buck, you are more suspicious than I ever thought you were. It is my hope that over time, more people will live in the area and maybe the grocery store and Dwayne's gas station could be resurrected. Maybe the hardware store could be used for something else. Certainly a restaurant could come to life again if only for a few hours a day, with a liquor license of course."

"So you see Discovery reemerging."

"No, I see Comstock reemerging. The Discovery concept is dead. Just a simple small town offering the basics to the people, that would bring the outlying farmers back too of course."

Mitch was getting excited now. "So that means more interest in Phoenix Lane real estate almost certainly."

"Of course, with the clothing optional concept posted, nobody is going to jump in here unless they want to be a part of that lifestyle. Voyeurs will always be a problem, but maybe with a membership, the potential buyer would have to pass an interview process run by the association. The lawyers would have to sort that out first of course. The potential for growth is obvious."

Layla had been quiet through the whole discussion until she said, "Faith, didn't you build your warehouses so you could have a small store at the street end?"

Faith smiled and said, "You got me. Yes I did. I never finished that idea for obvious reasons, but that was my plan at one time."

"More potential for growth."

"I can only hope, but that would be one of the last phases, because my ego wouldn't handle another major failure."

Layla stood up and said, "So Casey's is still set up for retail. The motel is still in tact and could be a motel or be modified for a few small shops, and there's Ma's Kitchen. So if this ever took off we could end up with a little town again." "We could," Faith added with a smile. "Given a little time, Comstock could be reinvented.


Chapter One Hundred Sixty Five


Buck waited until their little meeting seemed over and everybody was standing up, before he grabbed Kali and sat back down with her in his lap. "So how would you feel being married to a millionaire?"

She stared at him and then jumped up. "Damn you Buck, you can't ask me to marry you, you're still married to Anita. Are you crazy? Why do you do these things to me when...," and he scooped her up in his arms. 

He looked at the others, rolled his eyes and said, "Here we go again," and he headed for the bedroom, kicked the door closed and tossed her on the bed. 

She tried to get off, but he caught her and then got onto the bed with her. "I suppose you're going to rip our clothes off again like some caveman or something."

"Nope, we're going to lie here and talk about getting married."

"We are not. Didn't you hear what I just said? You are still married to Anita."

"Yep, for another five weeks in fact."

"Then you want to be a bigamist?"

"I'd only be a bigamist if I married you before I divorced Anita. I wasn't planning on doing that."

"Oh, you weren't planning. Need I remind you there are two of us in this?"

"Oh no, I don't need to be reminded of that, you're too loud to ignore. For such a little thing you sure can make a lot of noise."

"Now Buck don't start that little..." and he kissed her. 

"Now don't tell me you don't love me, Kali."

"Oh Buck, I love you so much."

"Then you will marry me?"

"You know I will."

"Now can I move in with you?"

She sat up and said, "So that's what this is all about, you just want to move in with me."

"No, I want to marry you, but you just said that I have to wait."

"Well, of course we have to wait." Oh God, we're talking in circles. Yes, you can move in with me if you're sure we'll get married."

I want the ceremony to be up here, maybe in the Playhouse."

"Buck, are you serious? Oh my God, you don't mean a naked ceremony do you?"

"Oh, that would be tacky. No, I was thinking more like your tiny skirt, no panties or bra of course, a sexy top and a veil. Oh, and tall sexy heels."

"Now be serious."

"I'm very serious. We can get naked after the ceremony."

"We have a lot of talking to do."

"We can make love on the stage after the ceremony."

"Buck, now stop making fun, this is serious."

"I'm being serious."

"I have to think about all of this...like, for about five weeks in fact. And I have to talk to Layla, Carly, and Brenda... I need help, and not from you."

"You never answered me. How will you feel being married to a millionaire?"

"I was before."

"You were?"

"Yes, how do you suppose I ended up with enough money that I don't have to work?"

"Well, why didn't you tell me?"

"What difference does it make?"

"I don't know."

"And remember, you won't be a millionaire until that land is sold. Until then you're pretty damn poor."

"Thanks for reminding me."

"Buck we better rejoin the others or they will think we're making love."

"Oh, horrors."

"Don't be a smart ass. I don't marry smart asses."

"What about your first husband?"

"That's why he's my ex husband," she lied.

"Oh...I guess we better go find the others so we can share our good news."

"By the way, where's my ring?"

"Oh, that. We need to do some shopping when we get home. Now I feel like maybe I can afford a little nicer ring."

"Not until you sell the land."

"We'll see," and they went out only to find the apartment empty.

Everybody was gathered around the tables or standing near them. As Buck and Kali appeared they all applauded and Kali even blushed. Layla asked her, "So what was your decision, Kali?"

She smiled like a virgin as she said, "I told him yes, of course." There was another round of applause and Kali said, "Buck wants us to be married in the Playhouse." That brought cheers and that's when Kali realized about half of the residents were there. Drinks appeared from homes and the talking and tasting continued. 

It was close to six o'clock when Darren appeared in a borrowed van with two of the waitresses from Ethel's in Renovo. Faith announced, "Darren is bringing dinner for everybody and a large batch of Ethel's special iced tea. Dinner is on me," and everybody cheered and helped carry the food into the restaurant where Darren and the waitresses set it up and served everybody. Darren collected a long embrace and a kiss from Faith and they whispered back and forth, no doubt making reference to her sampling his long cock again some day. 

It was past nine before people started to leave. One here and two there until the group was back down to just Faith, Mitch, Layla, Buck, and Kali. Even Darren left with the waitresses not long after dinner. Buck had been waiting, but he got the chance he was waiting for and put his arms around her. "Thank you for dinner, love, but you do have to cut down on your spending. I mean you just told me you were down to your last ten or twenty million." She laughed and kissed him and said, "Buck, thank you so much for calling everybody. You have improved my life a hundredfold."

"I'm glad. You know I owe you so much too. How could I ever repay you for selling me that land so cheaply and when you knew it was going to explode in value."

"I'm so glad that you and Kali will benefit from it. I just wish that Anita could be rewarded for her sacrifice too."

"She's probably going to marry Doug."

"Really?"

"It looks like it right now anyway."

"You okay with that?"

"You know I expected a lot of heartache because I do still love her. But it hasn't been bad. We still see each other and are the best of friends. All of this is just too complicated to ever understand. I'll just have to go along with it and enjoy my life."

"You certainly could have it worse."

"Most definitely so, now, we just have to find you some amazing guy, that is worthy of you."

Faith just smiled and said, "All of you amazing guys are taken I'm afraid."

He kissed her again and whispered, "You are one very special woman and you just get better every time I see you." They shared a light kiss and then she said goodnight to everybody and headed back to Williamsport.

There was nothing more they could accomplish there, so after coffee they headed for Ethel's and breakfast and then home to get on with their normal lives.  Mitch was eager to get one more apartment built on the other side of Winnie and Jeff and that would be all for that side of the square, but Mitch was already making other plans for expansion once the golf resort was a sure thing and underway, but this time he would talk it over with Layla.


Chapter One Hundred Sixty Six


Even though it was four hours from Scranton, the day they announced the construction of the golf resort, it was headline news on every station and paper, but the construction data had changed a little. It would be a twenty seven hole golf development to start rather than eighteen, and then on it went much like Faith had described: Tennis courts and lessons, what they called modest accommodations of an unspecified number of rooms, and an upscale restaurant, and a coffee shop. Of course, there would be suites available and on it went. The artist rendering that was shown made it look like a world class development, but only time would tell how accurate that would be. 

The first effects to be felt were quick in coming, an increase in traffic going past Phoenix Lane. The next one was a couple of weeks after construction began, when Mitch was approached to open the motel and Ethel's or Ma's Kitchen for the duration of the construction, which was estimated to be eighteen to twenty months. Mitch told Mark McGee, the inquiring representative from Omaha Development, that there would have to be a guaranteed minimum income for the restaurant and the motel. That sent Mitch scrambling to find Grace and to talk to Ethel. When Grace said no thanks, he just shook his head in disappointment. But then she said she knew somebody that could do it if they wanted to and she'd find out and get back to him. Ethel was more receptive and almost eager, but would have trouble covering her absence in town so she too would have to get back to him as well.

Mitch and Buck got together again and over coffee Mitch said, "Changes are going to come fast and have already started. Faith called yesterday and told me that we could use one of the empty houses past Peggy's for motel or restaurant workers. She's hot to see all of this take off, so she's going to do whatever she can to make it happen. I have to think that a free place to live would be a pretty attractive enticement for a waitress or a motel maid for example."

"I'll bet that the properties at Phoenix Lane have already jumped in value"

"I haven't looked into it, but I'm sure they have. Oh, and Faith was right, I was approached about the water tower and that deal was closed yesterday. That's one less piece of property that I pay taxes on and one less maintenance worry for me. Also, that means a few more dollars to put toward new apartments or other units. Have you heard from anybody about the acreage Buck?

"Not a word, but it has to be their move. I don't want to appear too eager or hungry."

"So true, want me to handle that for you, without fee of course?"

"Sure, have at it. You'd be better at negotiations than I would most likely."

"Okay. We'll start at what Faith suggested, because I think she had done her homework. The line of building sites all along the golf course would go for fifty grand apiece easily, and probably more. Twenty five of those would cover what they had invested in the whole eighty acres, and they'd still have fifty or more acres left to play with. Yeah I'd say a mil and a half is very reasonable."

"If I can get that I'll be very happy."

"Then what?"

"Well, my thought is, wait and see what the market is or becomes, but I'll have to trust you for a lot of that. We don't want to build a number of units only to have them sit empty."

"That's true."

The next two weeks were calm. No changes in their circumstances or plans, or calls from Omaha Development. No word from Grace or from Ethel either, and both Mitch and Buck were getting a little restless.

Mitch finally heard from Ethel and she had somebody to work for her at the restaurant so she was available to open the original Ethel's again. She just needed to hire a cook and somebody to help her with the other duties. But it was the call that Buck got that got them excited. "Mr. Andrews, this is Mark McGee from Omaha Development, how are you today?"

"I'm fine Mr. McGee, what can I do for you today?"

"I understand you own a hundred acre parcel at Comstock."

"Yes I do as a matter of fact."

"I might be interested in buying it if the price was right."

"Fine. I was considering developing it actually, but as you just said, if the price is right I might reconsider that. I'll give you the number of my real estate agent."

"Can't we just handle this and save you paying the commission?"

"No, he's like family to me. His name is Mitch Chandler," and Buck gave him the number and then said, "He's a good man to work with."

"Well okay, but this will cost you a lot of unnecessary money."

"I'll deal with that just fine. Have a nice day, Mr. McGee." Buck had to smile because he was pretty proud of himself. By acting nonchalant about Mitch's commission he sounded confident and not all that hungry for money. Then Buck quickly called Mitch and told him to expect a call from Mark. The games had begun. Faith had it figured out just right, or she had good spies, but either way he owed Faith in more ways than one.

It was another week before Grace called Mitch and they made arrangements to get the motel up and running again. It would be temporary just like the restaurant, but at least for the next eighteen months or so, Comstock would be much more alive and the visitors to Phoenix would have a motel to go to. 

Things were progressing smoothly. Things like construction was well underway on the apartment next to Winnie and Jeff, and Mitch had plans for two more apartments on the other side as soon as the first one was completed. Peggy was now the association president, and they had set up a board to review potential buyers before they could sign on the dotted line. Things weren't perfect though. When the winds blew strong enough and from the right direction, dust from the golf academy construction would drift over Phoenix Lane and make the air about half brown looking. Having carpenters in the area interfered with the residents going naked, but it wasn't long before the women were at least going topless and wearing the obscenely small shorts. It was even money whether or not they would end up naked long before the apartments were finished.

Kali and Buck had dinner with Mitch and Layla the evening after Buck's divorce was final. They weren't celebrating the occasion, but they felt that it did deserve some recognition. That was also the night that Mitch told Buck and Kali that the eighty acres were sold for one point three million, payable in ninety days or less. Now they had a very good reason to celebrate. 

Then Buck and Kali had announcements of their own to make. Buck started it with, "Kali and I have been talking about the twenty acres and how to develop it. We're afraid that to make it strictly part of Phoenix Lane would restrict it enough to possibly prevent some sales, so we've come up with a solution. There will be a gate across the entrance to the new section and only approved members will have codes to get into Phoenix Lane. That way, if people that live in the other eighty acres wish and are accepted by the board, they too can pay an outrageous sum and become members of our little community: More money for the coffers."

Mitch laughed and said, "You sound like Hank now. Good idea by the way. Now I have no doubt we can develop that twenty acres, but call it something other than an extension of Phoenix Lane."

"Okay," Kali said, "Now for our other announcement. Buck and I want to pick a date in mid August for our wedding and we do want to have it at the Playhouse, if you don't mind of course."

Layla's eyes danced and said, "Of course we don't mind, that will be wonderful and we can't wait for the event. Can I help you plan it Kali?"

"Of course, I'd appreciate your help." So more changes were on the way and to add to that, more construction would begin before the end of summer.


Chapter One Hundred Sixty Seven


Mitch and Layla had dinner with Anita and Doug the following weekend, and of course Phoenix Lane came up in conversation. Mitch didn't mention anything about Buck selling the property, but he did tell them about Buck and Kali's plans for an August wedding. Anita smiled and seemed to handle it with aplomb, because she had no doubt they would get married.




It's All About Faith Pt. 10



Everything seemed to be moving at an accelerated pace now. When Mitch and Buck went back to Phoenix Lane again, all of the land around them was being torn up. They were reshaping the land to fit the golf course design, so where there were large level areas, there were now roughly shaped rolling hills. There were persistent muddy puddles in some areas and those areas would most likely become water hazards for the golfers. The apartments over the empty stores on the other side of the square were now framed in, and shirtless carpenters in shorts were scurrying around putting sheeting on the roof rafters.

Layla and Kali were over at the Playhouse talking about the wedding plans and Buck and Mitch were standing there watching the carpenters. "You know Buck, those empty stores that I was going to make into garages just might have to be saved for a store or two. I can still change the plans a little and provide garages without too much trouble."

"What kind of stores?"

"Well, one store at least. Once your area is developed, I think a general store just for the members. Of course, one section would have to be for a boutique."

"You really expect to make money with that?"

"Nah, I'd have to break even, but mostly it would be for the hell of it, for old time sake maybe. Besides, if residents from the golf course development become members, they might want to buy a few sleazy outfits to wear too. We could easily end up with more than a hundred couples before all of this is over."

"Do you think that Faith would ever build something near the warehouses across the street? I mean something like another small community over there."

"She could, especially if all she wants to do is break even like she did with Discovery. This is still such an unlikely area, but with the golf academy coming, that whole line of thinking will likely change. Besides, the more development we have, the more appealing this area could become. Hell, there's nothing to say that somebody else that owns some of the other property could do the same thing.  Somebody could build a gas station and mini mart down at the highway junction.  All of those things are possible. Not right now, but not too far down the road either."

"I'm starting to wish I would have held onto more than twenty acres."

"You'll make money hand over fist with what you have."

A couple of weeks later when Layla and Mitch went to Phoenix Lane, Anita and Doug went with them and they were impressed with the changes. Mitch showed them where Buck and Kali's property was and she asked, "Do you think Buck will do well with this?"

"I think he will do very well with it, Nita. There's a lot of work to do and decisions to make, but once the dust settles, he'll come out of it in great shape.  Sorry you didn't keep part of it?"

"No. I just don't have what it takes to undertake those risks I guess. I'm happy that he's doing so well with it." Mitch didn't say anything more, but he slipped his arm around her waist and she did the same with him, as they walked back to join Doug and Layla. "Just for the record, Mitch I still love you."

"I love you too Nita, and I'm sure I always will."

"I'm glad, I was afraid that Buck and I divorcing might change how you feel about me."

"No. I was surprised, and yet I wasn't when we heard the news. Nobody will ever know just how close Layla and I was to doing the same thing."

"I have a good idea of how close it was."

While the four of them were at Phoenix Lane, Kali and Buck were talking about the development when Kali sat up straight and said, "My God, we're missing something important. I mean all of us are, including Mitch and Layla."

"Well hurry up and share it with me."

"Lanes for golf carts."

"What?"

"All of the homes that the developers are building will have garage space for a golf cart and they will have extra lanes on their streets for golf cart lanes. We have to do the same thing and even suggest to Mitch that he consider adding the same thing."

"Of course, that only makes sense. Thank you honey, that's a fantastic thought.

So it went. Thoughts came up and were usually incorporated into the plan.  Then Buck and Kali took all of their notes to an architect and the spending began.  In fact, there would be a whole lot of spending before they would even begin to see money coming in. 

The day that Ethel opened the restaurant, they also opened the motel and Phoenix lane was awash with residents and guests of residents. Faith came bringing flowers for the restaurant tables and for the motel lobby. Rod and Adriana were there and they embraced Faith, and that whole collection of ill will was put to rest.  Carly and Brenda drove up together and eagerly joined in the festivities. Even Wendy managed to get there, and the celebration lasted until late into the evening.  There were no shows at the Playhouse, and for the most part everybody stayed dressed, if only in the technical sense of the word. Ethel made her trademark iced tea, but nobody over indulged at all, and though nobody actually spoke of it, many were hoping this was the beginning of a whole new village. Not like it was, and perhaps in some ways it might be better. Mitch threw out his idea of a small general store to the group to see what the response would be and it was all positive.  Then Faith mentioned opening a small mini mart grocery where Dwayne's super market used to be, and that too was met with enthusiasm. There again, Faith didn't have to make a profit. She just had to break even so that would make it easier for her to succeed at her venture. At least for the next couple of years, Comstock would be back, and Faith's wish was coming true, at least to a certain degree.  Peggy wasn't celebrating with the others as much as she was taking notes of ways to improve the association and to add amenities for the members.   One Hundred Sixty Eight

The gathering finally broke up a little before ten, and Faith, Buck and Kali, along with Mitch and Layla and Anita and Doug, made their way back toward the apartment. They were all tired, but they were also still a little wired from the celebration. Even Peggy joined them for awhile and they gathered around the kitchen table to talk about Phoenix Lane and the future. Buck told them about Kali's revelation about the golf cart lanes and that sent them into a flurry of excited discussion. Then Buck said, "Faith, you're being very quiet, everything okay?"

She smiled and said, "Yes, everything is fine, but I do have a question for all of you. If, after Buck's development is nearly completed, I were to build a small development across the road, would that cause anybody problems? I have no intention of stepping on any toes, and if any of you fear that I could cause problems, I'll table the whole idea."

Buck shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't see where that would be a problem at all, Mitch?"

"Not me either. By then the last of my units will be gone, and once Buck has his whole package about sold, it won't matter at all."

Faith smiled and said, "I think that if I put in a golf course path as well, that will increase interest. In fact, golf carts could cross the road and people would be free to go for a ride and maybe even make new friends. I'll contact Mark and see if we can't work together on that idea." Then she went around and kissed both Buck and Mitch and said, "It feels wonderful to be back here and at least to some extent, back in the game again."

Mitch told her, "It's you that started this whole concept so it's only right that you're back with us and I couldn't be happier."

"Thank you Mitch," and then she kissed Buck's cheek and said, "And than you too love."

He smiled at her and said, "My pleasure."

All of them settled down, Peggy and Faith went home and before long they were all in bed, too tired to get into any fun and games. 

There was something magical about the midnight hour in that apartment it seemed, because it was just minutes past midnight when Anita touched Buck's shoulder and then touched him again until he stirred and opened his eyes. She put her lips close to his ear and whispered, "Would you take a walk with me so we can talk?"

He eased out of bed as she stepped back and the two of them carefully escaped down the steps to the square. They were both naked, but the evening temperature was okay as long as they didn't just sit down. They walked slowly with their arms around each other and she asked him, "How are you doing Buck?"

"I'm okay, how about you?"

"I'm fine." She wanted to ask him how it was going with Kali, but that would have been in very poor taste or worse. "Mitch told us that you and Kali are planning your wedding."

Buck smiled and nodded in the darkness, but then he said, "Yeah. Well Kali is, I'm just going along with whatever. Are you and Doug going to get married?"

"Yes. Buck...this is more awkward than I expected it to be."

"Just say it, hon...Nita, this is no time in life to start being overly careful or whatever." They continued to walk, bumping into each other every few steps, but it seemed so natural that they didn't think a lot about it. 

"Buck, would it bother you, if...I mean, would it be too awful if..."

He stopped and turned her to him and said, "Honey, just say it. I promise that whatever it is we can talk about it."

"I told Doug that I'd like it if we could get married when you do. You know, a double wedding in the Playhouse."

Buck pulled her into his arms and told her, "I'll have to ask Kali, but as far as I'm concerned I think it would be fine. Great even. Hell, I still love you and you know that."

"I do know, and I'll always love you too. You know, if all of this were happening to somebody else we know, I'd be laughing at how bizarre and outrageous all of this is."

"Yeah, it really is."

They started to walk slowly again as she said, "You sure did prove me wrong about that land."

"I can't describe how scared I was after I did that."

"How was Kali handling it?"

"Pretty well actually, of course when I made some crack about her marrying a millionaire she just shrugged it off and told me her first husband was a millionaire too."

"Really, I didn't know that."

"Shocked me, that's for sure."

She was the one to stop then, and put her arms around him and pulled him down to her lips. They shared a long kiss that felt so natural and familiar. They lingered with that kiss and then she whispered, "Make love to me, Buck. Right here and now and in the grass." He didn't have to be talked into it, so he helped her down and then lay over her as they kissed and explored each other like they had so many times and not so long ago. The damp grass was quite cool on Nita's back, but she was focused on her ex husband and what he was doing to her. They weren't going to spend a lot of time on foreplay out in that cool and damp night air, so a minute later, she helped his cock find it's way between her pussy lips and ease into her. 

With him deep into her, they paused and kissed again as she whispered, "I still love to feel your cock inside of me. Fuck me slowly for a minute, honey. I want to feel you slip in and out of me...yes, just like that." Buck was lying on her rather than holding himself above her, so his back flexed and his pelvis tipped down to go into her and then back out in a slow teasing in out motion. They kissed and his left hand found her breast and they continued. But Anita could take that just so long before she said in a less than soft voice, "Fuck me now, honey. Fuck me fast like you used to do. I want to feel you pound into me and make me cum hard." She hardly had those words out of her mouth before he raised up a little and went after his ex wife with passion and determination. She wasn't a loud lover, but he could hear her make those familiar soft sounds as he focused on pleasing her and him at the same time. He was the one to whisper as he told her, "Oh fuck, I'm getting close now, honey. Damn it feels good to be inside of you again...oh fuck..." but she beat him to it. Her climax jumped through her as he continued his assault until he dropped down and held himself deep inside of her as his body locked as he gave her his juices. 

As long as he lay on her she was warm so he stayed on top of her as they relaxed from their unplanned coupling and she told him, "That was wonderful."

"I agree, it was wonderful and thank you."

"Never thank me for us making love, hon. We both did this because we both wanted and needed to have this time together."

"Do you think we'll ever share something like this again?"

"I certainly hope so. With the lifestyle, we live I can't see why we wouldn't."

"Do you think you and Doug will ever have a place up here?"

"I don't know, that's a big expense."

"Yes it is. Of course there's the apartment anyway."

"Right, but sometimes I'd rather have...you know, a more conventional situation."

"I hate to say this, but I'm falling out of you."

"I know and your cum is on my thigh."

"I'm going to tell you one more thing before I get up. You are so damn sexy."

She kissed him and said, "Thank you, I'm glad you still think so."

"So now that some time has passed, do you think that my time in Discovery had a lot to do with our breakup?"

"I think it had a whole lot to do with it. That wasn't the only reason, but without that, I'm not sure we would have divorced. Does that matter now?"

"I guess not. I was curious though." He moved off of her and helped her up, and they shared another embrace before they started their slow walk back to the apartment.

"Nita, you know you could have asked about the wedding about anytime or anywhere."

She smiled and told him, "Yes, I know."  Buck and Kali had driven to Phoenix Lane by themselves, and as soon as they were on their way home Kali asked him, "Did you and Anita have a nice walk or talk or whatever?"

Buck smiled at her and said, "So you were awake then."

"Yes, I was awake."

"I was going to tell you, hon."

"I'm sure you were, but I'm too curious to wait."

"To answer your question, yes, we did have a very nice walk and talk: Nothing deep or profound. More the how are you kind of things until she asked me if we would be willing to share our wedding day with them. They'd like to make it a double ceremony."

She looked at him for a few seconds and then asked him, "So what was your answer?"

"I said I'd have to talk to you about it."

"So you don't mind."

"Not at all, it's you that I'm marrying, and that's all I care about."

She smiled and said, "Thank you for that."

"You're not jealous about Anita are you?"

"I guess not. I felt a flash of jealousy, but then it went away. I know you still care for her and that's great."

"We made love on the square too. That wasn't planned, but it did happen. I don't want to ever do anything like that and keep it from you."

"Thank you for telling me. How did it feel to be with her again?"

"Very nice and very natural, of course."

"Of course, would it bother you if I ever made love to Doug?"

"Not at all, as long as you're with me at the end of the day." Then he asked her, "So what are your thoughts about making it a double ceremony?"

"I don't mind, but I'm not going to change any of the plans that Layla and I have worked so hard on."

"Maybe you and Layla should talk to Anita."

"That's something we'll have to do and soon."


Chapter One Hundred Sixty Nine


The middle of July, the women met again, and again went over their wedding plans, even though they almost had them memorized. It had taken them a long time to find somebody to perform the ceremony, but everything else was in place. The food would come from Ethel's of course, but she had somebody else lined up to do the work so she wouldn't miss any of the ceremony or the celebration afterward.  All of Phoenix Lane was invited, and it was a fair bet that almost all if not all of them would be there.

The first of the apartments Mitch was having built was almost done, and ground was broken on Buck's big project. The new security gate was in place with stone pillars and a long stone wall running in both directions away from the gate in an arched pattern. Buck and Peggy had worked with the lawyer to take care of some loose ends with the association bylaws. With that done, they set up a new division of the association for the new development with different and more precise covenants. Then there were still more details to govern future members from the country club development. Peggy loved her job and her salary was going up with each new responsibility. 

Buck and Mitch were going to spend the weekend at Phoenix Lane, but Kali stayed home to talk to Anita and Layla about last minute plan changes for the wedding. Now, instead of stopping at Ethel's in Renovo, they went up to Phoenix Lane and had an early lunch with Ethel there, and then on to the garage under the apartment. After they went up, they heard somebody knocking on their door and there stood Brenda and Faith. Both guys smiled and invited them in before Buck pulled Brenda close to him. Before he could say anything though, Brenda told him, "Yes, Kali knows I'm here. I talked to her on the phone and she said you two were on your way up here."

"But did you tell her you were coming up here?" Then looking at Faith he asked, "And how is it you're gracing our apartment?"

She smiled and said, "Simple, Brenda called me. We knew you two would need help doing whatever you plan to do"

Then Brenda put her arms around him saying, "It seems like forever since I've seen you."

He kissed her and said, "It's been too long that's for sure."

"Congratulations on...well, on the upcoming wedding, the land purchase, and sale, and...so many things. You've done good, stud."

"I must be doing something right, because you're here right now."

"You're just too smooth. Okay, so what are your plans?"

Buck smiled and asked her, "Now or later?"

She kissed him quickly and said, "Let's start with now."

"Well okay, if you insist. We're going over and check the apartment construction, and then we're going over and check out how my project is doing. By then, it will be time for a break on the balcony or patio. At some point after that, we'll have lunch. Beyond that, we'll just have to make it up as we go." Then he smiled at Faith and said, "At some point, Mitch and I need to have a three way with Faith."

"Maybe you should rethink that, stud."

He smiled and added, "Okay, we need to talk business."

"So you want me to disappear?"

"No, I want you naked and in my lap."

She kissed him and said, "I can see that happening if your lap will be naked."

Faith adopted Mitch and this would be the first time the two of them had ever been together. She really did have a thing for Buck, but she was also eager to spend some quality time with Mitch. Faith didn't see herself as being a one man woman.

The foursome talked as they sipped Cokes and then walked over to the almost complete apartment. The stairs were in, but not finished, and the apartment walls were up, but not finished. The carpenters weren't there, so they wandered through and Mitch pointed out different upgrade features and Buck commented on the nice floor plan. Mitch made notes on things to talk to the contractor about, but over all, he was pleased with what he saw. He just wished it was closer to being completed.  The balcony was done, so they made their way along to the other two apartments, but they were quite a ways from being done. From there, they went back down and then on to the gates to Buck's development. The ground was rough dirt, but it was dry so they picked their way along and Buck stopped and commented on the first foundation that had been poured. "This will be the most deluxe of all of them. Not for its size, but for the quality. Upscale cabinets and counter tops, oversized closets and things like that. Master bath is large, and on the back there will be a balcony with a spa overlooking the golf course."




It's All About Faith Pt. 10



"That's no good," Faith said. "No privacy."

Buck smiled and said, "After sundown, there won't be anybody on the course and during the day, you can be as scantily clad as you want, as long as you are legal. Of course, off season there won't be anybody on the course at all. And who knows, maybe the owners will become close friends with their neighbors and they will find ways to share the spa during the day."

They walked on and Buck described the street and the golf cart lane, and more details until they turned around and made their way back to the apartment. Mitch and Faith dropped onto the couch and Buck took the easy chair and pulled Brenda into his lap. "You sexy blonde, you have the damndest talent for popping into my life at the most interesting times."  "How am I supposed to take that? Is that good or bad?"

"It's never been bad love." After resting for a few minutes, they walked down to Ethel's and walked in. They looked around and found just one empty table so they sat down and waited. A sweet young thing appeared and Buck and Mitch couldn't help but smile. "Hi, I'm Heather, what can I get you to drink?"

Mitch looked her and asked, "Heather, are you old enough to bring me a draft?"

She smiled and said, "Yes, I'm old enough to bring you a draft."

"Then Heather, I'll have a draft."

"Make that two," Buck added. Then Brenda and Faith said the same and young looking Heather walked away as the guys watched her shorts clad butt. 

Brenda turned Buck's head toward her and said, "Forget it, she's too young for you."

"I was just admiring the scenery."

"You are, so...so rude. You tell me how sexy I am and so forth, and then you gawk at the waitress right in front of me."

"You're right and I'm sorry and I'll try to make it up to you."

She tossed a kiss at him and said, "That's better." 

It was quite awhile before Ethel appeared and sat down between Mitch and Brenda. Buck smiled and told her, "Damn, it's good to have you back here, Ethel."

"Thanks, it's great to be back here."

"Is it this busy everyday now?"

"Well Monday through Friday it is, but today is the aftermath of a construction meeting or something like that."

"Then you're going to make out pretty good while you're here."

"Oh, I certainly will. The only down side is, I only see Darren on Sundays and weeknights after seven. Through the week, the motel is filled, all ten rooms. This area has never been this busy before."

After Ethel left them, they finished their beer, left the restaurant and went back to the apartment. It really hadn't been that important that they go to Phoenix Lane, but they wanted to check the progress of the apartments and Buck's project. 

The phone was ringing as they went up the steps and Mitch was the first one to it. "Hello?"

"Hi Mitch."

"Hi Kali, are you girls having a good time?"

"We are, did you two check out your projects?"

"We did and we are pleased. Bet you wanna talk to your man."

"Just for a second."

Mitch handed the phone to Buck and he said, "Hi hon."

"Hi Babe, have you enjoyed your pre wedding gift yet?"

"Um, what might that be?"

"You mean Brenda isn't there?"

"You didn't"

"Love you hon, and I can't wait for you to get home."

"Love you too, and thank you...but I'm going to have questions."

"Of course you are, bye." 

Buck turned around and went over to Brenda. She was smiling and said, "Let me guess, that was Kali and she told you."

"You devil, so you didn't just happen to be in the area or whatever."

"Oh no, Kali set you and Mitch up, and Faith and I owe her a favor." Buck reached to her and started to remove her top. She smiled and asked him, "And what do you think you're doing?"

"I'm unwrapping my pre wedding gift."

"Do you think you have what it takes to use that gift?"

"I guess you'll have to tell me later. I do have every respect for your opinions after all, and I love you, so how can we lose."

"Her smile diminished very slightly as she asked him, "And what do you mean you love me?"

"Just that, I'll admit to loving Kali more of course, but you and Carly and Layla are very important parts of my life." She was naked now and Buck was undressing as she said, "Okay, but that word scares me."

"Get used to it, because you'll likely hear me tell you every so often. It's a nice and very important word, a word not meant to be feared."

She smiled and putting herself against him she said, "We'll talk about that later...like maybe around midnight."   


Chapter One Hundred Seventy 


Mitch and Faith were ahead of them. They were naked on the first bed, so as Brenda and Buck moved past them, Buck smiled at Faith and gave her an old fashioned wink. Faith still had a body that could make men stutter.

Brenda was quick to take the lead and a minute later she was on top of him and kissed him. "Okay now stud, we both know you meant lust, not love."

He pushed her over and then got on top of her and said, "Let's just take care of the lust, and then we'll see if love doesn't rear its ugly head again." She smiled and pulled him down to her lips and they shared a long simple kiss. Hands didn't explore and for the most part their bodies didn't move, except for when her arms went around his back and she caressed him through the kiss. But after that they moved on to touching each other and Buck teased her by moving his hard cock between her legs and against her puffy lips. It seemed that they were always too eager in their lovemaking, so he decided to change that. He kissed his way down her belly until he arrived between her legs, and with a pillow under her head, she watched him as his lips were touching her lips. He tasted her gently and teasingly as he kissed her pussy and then looked up at her. Then he'd tongue her clit and then pause and smile at her before tasting her again. He moved down a little more then and started to eat her. Gently at first, kissing and running his tongue over her lips, and then would slip his tongue into her slit and work his way up to her clit again. Her legs were spread wide and her hands were touching the back of his head as he continued his oral exploration of her. 

Brenda put her hands on each side of his head and gently urged him up and they kissed again before she said, "You're driving me crazy hon. Take me please. I want you and I need you honey." He couldn't get enough of making love to Brenda.  He positioned himself over her and before he could move, her hand went to his cock and guided him as he lowered himself into her. Again it was gentle lovemaking for a minute, but both of them knew what they really wanted. Delaying it would work just so long, so a minute later he increased his movements and Brenda started to push up as he pushed down and they met only to withdraw and do it again, faster and faster. 

They had known all day that they were going to make love, so it was never far from their minds. That alone was a form of foreplay, so they didn't last all that long before she climaxed. Buck paused for a moment and then resumed his movements.  That put Brenda on a fast track toward a second orgasm and Buck closer to his. A minute or so later, Buck lost his battle to hold his orgasm. He lowered himself onto her and they kissed through his climax so hard there was a chance their lips would swell afterward. He always wanted to make it last longer for them, but their passions always got in the way of their plans. 

Buck's cock was still deep inside of Brenda, but it had completed its duties, so it was slowly shrinking as Brenda said, "Oh wow, honey that was good."

"Yes it was, and how I wish we could keep going right now."

"I do too, but I think I'm ready for a rest."

Mitch and Faith were still whispering back and forth in bed as Buck and Brenda went to the bathroom and took a quick shower together. With that done, they went to the kitchen and poured iced tea and dropped onto the couch next to each other and leaned back. 

They were quiet for a minute as they continued to settle down, but then Brenda said, "Buck, now be honest, you don't love me."

"I'm curious why you find that so hard to believe. Is it because you don't want me to love you?"

"Now why would you even think that?"

"I'm just throwing out guesses." He took her free hand in his and looking straight into her eyes he said, "You'll just have to accept the fact that I love you and I'd hate to not have you in my life."

"I think you're confused. You might love Carly though."

"Where did that come from?"

"We've talked."

"Oh, about what?"

"Just things, and people and the past, you didn't deny that you love her."

"Okay, I don't love her...well, maybe I do a little bit. You two are so different."

"Like how?"

"You have a devilish side, more impish and impulsive. You are just assertive enough that I can't possibly ignore you and yet you can be sweet and soft spoken.  You are smart and intuitive enough to spook me sometimes. Carly is softer. She speaks softly and shows her emotions without words. Whoever the lucky guy is that ends up marrying her, will find that she will love him with everything she has, once she gets past her defenses. In one way she is like you, she's adventurous. Not as impulsive as you though. Each of you is fantastic and unique and so easy on the eyes, again in very different ways."

"You know, I've never tried to sort you out like that, but right now I'd say you and Mitch really are a lot alike, but with exceptions. You are more cautious than he is in many ways, and I don't mean things like Phoenix Lane and development. You are more inclined to study people. Not pick them apart, but your mind is just more analytical, but in a gentle way. You are quick to look past people's imperfections. Curiously, I believe you do have the capacity to love more than one person. I also think you sometimes have trouble deciding how much you love somebody. You are a true friend in every sense of the word."

Mitch and Faith came out then and he said, "Hey you two, let's go get dinner, we're starved."

Brenda smiled, and was almost glad to have been interrupted, because she was getting into a dangerous area with Buck. "Yes, let's do that, I'm hungry too."

The four of them dressed and made their way to Ethel's and took their time over dinner and shared more conversation about real estate and development. Then foregoing alcohol, they made their way back to the apartment and continued their conversation in a more private setting until they all gave it up and went to bed.

Sunday morning after breakfast, the four of them just walked around all of Phoenix Lane and out to Buck's twenty acres. "You know," Buck said, "It's hard to picture golf carts coming into Phoenix Lane and to have the occupants pop their tops off or get naked. The whole thing to me seems so unusual...incongruous maybe."

Mitch looked around and said, "Yeah I know. Financially it will be great, but it's a safe bet the median age for Phoenix Lane will be changing. I just hope the spirit and personality of this place stays in tact. Of course, you can change your mind and not let outsiders in."

"They'd find a way in sooner or later. Make friends with one of the residents and get a visitor's pass or whatever." He looked at Faith and said, "It's like you found out Faith, you can hold progress and change at bay for just about so long."

She didn't smile as she said, "That's so sad but true."

Buck turned around and said, "Well I'm ready for a glass of iced tea at the patio before we head home."

Mitch said, "We'll be right there. I'm not quite done thinking about all of this mess."

Brenda and Buck got their tea and sat next to each other at the first table. "Buck, we sure were having an interesting conversation this morning. I enjoyed talking to you like that."

"I did too. I almost wish Mitch and Faith would have just gone without us."

"I've been thinking about what you've said and you surprised me."

"How is that?"

"You said you love me and Carly and of course Kali...but you never mentioned Anita once, not even in passing."

"I guess that's right."

"So you don't love her at all?"

"I do still love her, but so much has changed. For her, for me, and between us.  She's a different woman than she used to be. I still like her and respect her, but some of her qualities that I fell in love with just aren't there anymore."

"Like what, or is that too personal?"

He smiled and said, "No, that's not it. It's...it's almost like she'd be willing to go in the middle of main street, strip naked and holler fuck me."

"She's too coarse now?"

"I guess that's one way to put it. I'm all for being naked and liberal, but it isn't very attractive or alluring to have your mate be that open and brazen. Before we came to Discovery, she wouldn't consider even whispering fuck me in our bedroom.  I'm not doing a very good job of explaining it either, because there are times when I like to hear that."

Brenda smiled and said, "I think I know what you're trying to say. So what about, say Wendy or Rae or...Winnie."

"Other women that I haven't mentioned; Do I love them? No. I like them, and I'll even admit that I like them very much. Again, each of them is different and wonderful in their own way. But right now as we sit here, I love Kali very much and I love you and Carly and Layla. Though with Layla, it's a little different, but I can't explain how. There are times I wish you and Carly and Kali and I could live together, because I hate to be away from any of you for very long."

"You are one screwed up guy, but you know what? I love you too. I didn't think I'd ever have use for that word again, but I guess I was wrong."

"I'm glad you do love me, and that you can use that word again." Then he smiled and said, "There just may be hope for you after all."

She just smiled and changed the subject. "So does Carly know you love her too?"

"Yes."

"Does Kali know how messed up you are."

Buck laughed and said, "Yeah, she knows me pretty well. I'm still blown away by her sending you to me. She's always had a fear about me being around you."

"Really?"

"Very really."

"She and I will have to talk one of these days."

Faith and Mitch finally joined them, and not long after that the women headed home, and the guys weren't long before they left too.


Chapter One Hundred Seventy One


The day for the double wedding was just around the corner. Buck and Kali spent an evening with Doug and Anita talking about the wedding day, and then moved on to talk about simpler things. In the beginning, it seemed a little strange to Buck to be sitting in his old living room across from his ex wife as they talked about her marrying Doug. It almost seemed like a skit from a bad comedy in some ways. Phone calls between the women were almost constant that Friday evening, and Doug and Buck were left out of it much to their relief. They saw their role as just doing what they were told to do and nothing more.

Saturday, their big wedding day dawned clear and cool. Buck and Kali were the picture of self control as they went through their morning ritual and packed a few clothes, including their wedding attire.

It was pretty much the same for Doug and Anita. They weren't nervous, but they were eager to get there, and for one o'clock to arrive and get the official ceremony behind them. The two couples abstained from any form of sex for several days, because they all knew that secret plans had been made for a reception, a reception that almost certainly the likes of which had never been seen before.

It was almost eleven thirty when they reached their destination, and after dropping their bags in the apartment, they went straight to Ethel's for a light lunch.  Ethel was nowhere to be seen, because she was involved in the planning a preparation for the wedding and everything that was to follow. Even Darren was missing. Mitch and Layla joined them about halfway through their meal. When all had finished their meal, they went back to the apartment talking all the way. 

Layla took on the job of helping the two brides and Mitch adopted a chair on the balcony. Doug and Buck, not surprisingly, were ready first and were out on the balcony with Mitch when Kali and Anita appeared. The women were wearing high heels, micro mini skirt, brief top, and small veils down behind them held in place with little rhinestone tiaras, and the men couldn't have been happier. They knew it was highly probable that neither of them were wearing panties under those short skirts. 

Kali avoided kissing Buck to preserve her makeup, but she got close to him and said, "I hope you like the high class slut look."

"Well whatever you want to call it, you look great. You look hot, and so do you Nita."

"Thanks, you and Doug look nice in your new tan shorts with the sharp crease."

"Don't forget the new shoes too."

Anita smiled and said, "Sorry, yes and your new shoes," and then they laughed.

 Doug echoed Buck's sentiments about the women, and then there was an awkward silence until Layla said, "We better get over there, because there's only ten minutes to go." That was when their nerves kicked in a little, and the six of them got pretty silly as they walked toward the Playhouse.

It had taken some time for Doug to convince Paul, his brother, to be his best man, because he wasn't sure how well he would handle the near nudity, and almost certainly nudity, before the celebration was over. With Paul renting a car and driving to Phoenix Lane the day of the ceremony, he hadn't had time to meet anybody. The two of them had talked about it quite a bit, but Doug tried to play it down as much as he could. Paul wasn't aware that he might see his share of screwing before the afternoon was over. Doug's thought was, once Paul was into it, he'd find a way to cope. Paul was home on leave from Germany, and it was a safe bet that, he would have more sexual adventures in one afternoon than he'd had in the last year.

Mitch and Carly were standing up with Kali and Buck, and Paul and Layla were standing up with Anita and Doug. Since none of them had met Paul ahead of time, it could prove to be a little awkward.

It had taken the combined efforts of Faith, Ethel, Anita and Kali to find a preacher that would perform the service, and it was anybody's guess if their plans would all be for naught, until they found Reverend Harding in Renovo. He wasn't keen on the idea, but then he said okay, so that crisis had been averted. When the group of six went in, they saw that the stage had been decorated with crepe and bows and a few flowers, the curtain was closed, and the room was still empty.  Reverend Harding was standing there smiling, and he talked to the two couples for a few minutes before they all made their way to the end of the stage and up the steps. 

The Playhouse doors opened and people poured in. They were quiet as they filled the room, and then started lining up around the perimeter, standing there or leaning against the wall. Then Peggy appeared with microphone in hand, said a few sentimental words that surprised everybody, and then handed the microphone to Reverend Harding, and the ceremony began. It was full of all of the typical words of guidance and advice, but with only with modest reference to religion. Then Mitch and Paul retrieved the rings, and they said their vows, kissed and everybody clapped, and even cheered the newlyweds. Reverend Harding wasn't comfortable with the idea of lingering like he normally would. He congratulated the two couples and the papers were signed, and Mitch gave him an envelope with a generous donation for the church, and thanked him for his tolerance and understanding. Then the reverend made a discreet exit and went back to Renovo, praying for everybody's soul, including his.

The reverend wasn't even off of the property when Peggy, with microphone in hand, got everybody's attention and said, "Don't go away because we have a couple of surprises lined up." The curtain opened and there were two four poster beds all decked out with lacey feminine bedclothes, bows on the posts and elaborate crepe draping from top of post to top of post and even connecting the beds. What Buck and Doug didn't know, was they were going to make love on stage. As the two couples made their way onto the stage and to the beds, Peggy went on with her banter, but she more or less avoided her silly comments. With a few more words said, Peggy put the mic down and close to fifty people watched the two couples undress and then get onto the beds. The room was silent. Not a cough or a loud sigh as the two couples slowly and tenderly touched each other and kissed. They were blocking out the audience now as they consummated their marriage in a very traditional way. Neither Buck nor Doug went down and tasted their new wives.  The women took their husband's cocks in hand and with legs spread wide the men moved forward and eased their cocks into their wives pussys. As soon as both men were buried deep enough, the audience broke into applause and cheering. No more somber celebration now. The applause fell into a rhythmic clapping and picked up on the in and out strokes of the two men. When their cocks went deep, the audience clapped, and when they withdrew they clapped again. It all had a strong taste of a pagan ritual, and it didn't take long for the two men to fulfill their role as the women climaxed and the men gave them their seed. Had it not been for birth control, that could have been a moment of conception for both couples.
