Lauren Gisal Book 1 (Second half) by Francis Dashwood Chapter 20c Lauren followed at a more leisurely pace, looking around the house and admiring some of the more expensive ornaments. They certainly seemed to have some money, she thought, admiring the beautiful lounge carpet and the paintings on the wall. The lighting and furniture combined to give the required feeling of opulence and relaxation. Rebecca was waiting by the patio door for her, looking out towards the pool to see what the boys were doing. "Let's just walk up to them and stand there. See what they do. I bet your brother gets hard first!" "OK, I'm right behind you!" said Lauren, anxiety in her voice. The girls paraded out onto the patio as Rebecca put her arm around Lauren's waist. They walked provocatively together, quietly so that the boys wouldn't turn round until they were very close. With only two or three steps between them and their quarry, Rebecca decided that it was game time. "Cooee little boys. Time to play!" "Jeezus!" exclaimed Stefan, looking first at his sister then at Lauren. "Whoa" cried Mike, as he turned to see the two girls only inches from his face. He lost his balance, waved his arms uselessly in the air, and fell into the pool. They laughed loudly as he surfaced again, pulled himself out in one easy motion, and sat back on the edge smiling and dripping over the girl's feet. "Hey, haven't you seen a little girl before? teased Rebecca, rubbing her hand lewdly between her legs. Mike reached out to touch her thigh but she moved backwards, causing him again to lose his balance. Stefan and Lauren laughed at his discomfort, moving closer together to hold hands. Stefan ran his left hand inside the back of her knickers, then round the side and into the front so that he could eventually rest his hand on her pubic hair and pull her closer to him. She nuzzled into his chest as she looked up into his eyes, parting her lips as they kissed. Rebecca moved backwards, further from the pool, and led Mike to the patio door. "Come on, time to eat!" she said, taking his hand and leading him into the kitchen. Rebecca looked quickly out of the window, checking on the progress her brother was making. Lauren and her brother were both sitting on one of the patio chairs, kissing quietly as their hands explored each other's body. Lauren was on his lap, her legs pulled up tight to her chest with her knickers already at her knees, as his hands ran over her bottom, probing her little brown hole. She could see Lauren kissing him passionately now, their tongues entwined as her legs slowly parted. Rebecca smiled and opened the `fridge, surveying the contents with a practiced eye. There were the left-overs from lunch, but none of that looked very appetising. She pulled out a yoghurt and ripped off the foil cover. With a schoolgirl giggle, she pushed her finger into the thick creamy liquid and hooked out a large dollop, offering it to Mike. His tongue met her finger and sucked greedily, finding pleasure in the taste of the yoghurt and the sensuous feel of sucking her finger. She took another glob of the raspberry desert and spread it onto her black bra, followed by a second down between her legs. The look in her eyes told Mike that this was something that she found so erotic that he thought she might explode there and then. "Lick me. Lick it all off." she implored. He bent down to lick her bra, finding the mixture now underneath the material and on her firm nipples. She happily discarded her top, and quickly pushed his head down so that he knelt in front of her, looking at the red and black material that barely covered her pussy. His tongue strained from his mouth, probing and licking at every opportunity, searching out every crevice that contained the slightest trace of the food. She pulled her knickers down roughly, showing him her gaping pussy and the little lips hanging out. And then, she ran another handful of yoghurt over her mound, down over her clitoris and towards her anus. Mike's trunks bulged as he stared wide-eyed between her legs. Rebecca slumped onto a kitchen chair and spread her legs wide as he plunged his tongue into her, caught up in her feverish and wanton desire to be licked, sucked and tasted. "Ohhh, Christ, get right in there!" she yelled, pulling his head by the hair and forcing him between her legs. Rebecca heard footsteps approaching, and pulled him out quickly. They exchanged glances, a look of embarrassment and pain on her face as she stared at the doorway, open-mouthed. Two shadows fell on the carpet in the lounge as the crunching footsteps ceased. Slowly, two grinning heads appeared round the door, causing her to exhale loudly. "Hey, not bloody funny, you two!" she said, scowling at Lauren and her brother. "What'cha doin'?" asked Stefan. "Mike wanted something to eat, so I gave him something from the `fridge!" giggled Rebecca. "Jeeze, what a size that must be!" exclaimed Lauren, staring in disbelief at her brother's trunks. "Oh boy, come with me!" said Rebecca, noticing his bulge as she jumped up from the chair. She pulled her knickers up again, coating herself once again with sticky areas of yoghurt. Rebecca took his hand and jerked him through the doorway and up the stairs. "Come you two, follow me!" she shouted, pleased to hear Lauren and Stefan following close behind. "First, I need the toilet, come and help me?" she asked, still holding Mike's cock. "I don't ....." "Come on, don't be a dummy! You two can wait in my bedroom. Turn my PC on would you?" Mike followed her into the bathroom and closed the door. Rebecca made her way to the bath, and turned on the water. She waited until the water felt warm and switched it over to the shower, pulling the curtain along the length of the bath. "Take my knickers off, quickly, or I'll die!" she said, again pushing him to his knees and thrusting her hips into his face. Mike pulled at her sticky knickers, smelling the mixture of yoghurt and woman as the material slid down her pale legs to reveal the messy red hair, stuck around her vagina. "Lick it, please..... Hard!" she said, spreading her legs a few inches to give him some help. "No, much harder! Yes, oh, that's it. Keep going!" Rebecca continued to push her pussy against his nose and mouth as her clitoris popped into view and her inner lips blossomed to reveal the beginning of her tight tunnel. "That's enough. Let's get into the shower!" "I though you wanted the toilet?" asked Mike. "In here" she said, pulling him into the bath. She took the soap, turned around in the shower and lathered her hands, running them over her breasts and bottom. She handed the soap to Mike, and instructed him to do the same to himself, and then to concentrate on her engorged pussy. As they slid together, fingers probing and exploring in the soap and spray, Rebecca slid down to take Mike's cock in her mouth, the shower spraying directly onto her long red hair, matting it to her back. After only a few minutes, she turned, making him sit down, so that she could sit facing the same way between his legs. She leaned back, his hands running automatically over her breasts and taught little nipples. She brought her legs up, moving his hands so that they gripped behind her knees, his cock pushing hard into her back as the shower continued to splash over their young bodies. Rebecca's head fell backwards as she seemed to concentrate, her breathing regular, her hands gripping the side of the bath. Suddenly, Mike saw a great white stream of piss shoot out from between her legs, hit the end of the bath and disappear down the plug hole. Mike's eyes once again bulged at the antics of this young girl, a look of concern on his face as he pulled her closer to him, his cock aching for action. Slowly, the stream dwindled into a trickle, ending with a couple of little spurts. Rebecca lay against him for a while as the water cleansed them both. She offered the soap to Mike who gladly soaped her breasts and any other part of her body in reach. She then turned round, her hair again catching the full force of the water as she looked up at him. "Let's make sure you're clean, then we'll join the others." She took the soap and washed his rampant cock, pushing her fingers under his weapon to find his balls and anus. "I'm going to come!" he said in an apologetic manner. "Oh please don't! Wait, there's more fun in store. We'll do what I used to do with my brother!" she said, getting out of the bath and drying herself. Mike did the same, pulling a towel around his body and following her into the bedroom. They found Lauren and Stefan on the bed, legs locked together as they kissed. Lauren had pulled down his trunks to gain access to his cock, but it seemed that they were happy just amusing themselves without providing a repeat performance of the afternoon's entertainment. "I've got to have this boy or I'll die! Lauren, be a dear and shift over a bit" she asked, getting onto the bed on all fours. Mike took the hint and lifted the towel that covered her bottom. She spread her legs slightly more, showing the palest, whitest bottom and the vivid contrast of her damp red hair. Mike undid his own towel, letting it fall to the ground. Lauren saw his bobbing cock and gasped at the size as she lay alongside, her head against Rebecca's knees. Mike appeared to be in no hurry, rubbing the swollen head of his cock against her anus and the drenched lips of her pussy. Rebecca moaned, twitching her bottom as though encouraging him. "Lauren, scoot under here, you can see everything!" she advised, raising her right leg to allow Lauren to slide underneath her as Mike again rubbed along her gaping slit and ran his cock over her clitoris. Lauren parted her legs, dearly hoping that Stefan would sense her desires as she slowly pushed a finger into her own shaven slit. Mike put his right foot on the bed to steady himself and slowly entered Rebecca, clearly delighted by the tight grip that he felt as her muscles fought to keep hold of his cock. Lauren watched, fascinated as her brothers cock slowly entered, forcing back the inner lips of Rebecca's pussy until the skin of his balls started to bunch up around the entrance. Then slowly out again, the lips now desperately holding onto every inch of the wet shaft as it emerged until the purple crown was just visible in the entrance to Rebecca's sopping tunnel. Lauren watched for minutes as the pace quickened, vaguely aware that Rebecca was kissing Stefan, until her head bowed down, and Lauren felt a long- awaited tongue on her own pussy. Lauren arched her back, raising her bottom off the bed, imploring Stefan to push in further and further as her brother pounded into the large-breasted red-head. Rebecca lowered her hips, giving Lauren a close-up view of the rough penetration that she was experiencing, and providing Mike with an easier angle to generate more speed. She saw his balls crunching up, their swinging impeded as the skin crinkled and his hands gripped her thighs tightly, his fingers digging into her legs. He came explosively, continuing to pound rapidly and suddenly stop to fall over her back for a moment. He resumed, pumping slowly and then faster and faster again as cum dripped and then spurted out of her pussy with every stroke of his cock. Lauren opened her mouth, her tongue extended to catch the string of thick cum as it dribbled quickly from the girl's pussy and down between her waiting lips. Lauren ran the liquid around her mouth with her tongue and decided that she rather liked the taste. She swallowed it, smiling to herself. Rebecca gently sank on top of Lauren, resting her head on her thigh and displacing her brother. Mike withdrew his cock to leave Lauren with a close-up view of her cum-filled vagina. To Lauren's absolute delight, she felt the tongue of a woman exploring her vagina, pushing gently between the hood of her clitoris and the swollen lips of her labia. Rebecca was dripping slowly, encouraged by the sweet tongue of Lauren on her pussy and anus. But it appeared Rebecca had other ideas as she leaned over to her PC and punched a couple of keys. Nothing happened for a while until a picture appeared on each of her three screens, showing a very young blonde girl with an equally young boy, walking in the woods. It appeared to be summer, and was certainly not Switzerland with the large oak trees and thick undergrowth of ferns and coarse grass. Each picture showed the couple walking deeper into the woods, their white gowns looking like ancient Roman togas, but tied at the front with white belts of the same cloth. Lauren thought they could have been judo outfits had they been shorter. The young girl had shapeless legs, her body hardly filling the robe as it ballooned during their walk through the grass. They arrived at a log and the little girl turned to the boy, the sun shining through her hair as she took his hand. "Watch this. I like this one. I got it from a friend at Church!" The boys cock was bulging in his costume, the next frame showing the girl searching under the material for her pleasure. She was flat- chested, timid and clearly not sure where to look. Her smile, such as it was, lit her unwilling face while the boy, back to the camera, firmly held her left hand. "At Church?" squealed Lauren, now squeezing between Rebecca and Mike to get a better look. She saw the pictures changing, moving from the central screen to the sides to give an all-round feeling of presence. She sat up, curling up her legs as she rested a hand on bed for support. Mike's cock was steadily regaining some of it's potency (much to her surprise after his performance only a few minutes before) while Stefan's was thinking whether to burst into action or have a rest, a difficult decision until Rebecca took it in her left hand and persuaded it to join in the fun. "Yes, it reminds me of the ceremony of marriage. Well, in parts. They're dressed in white gowns like I will be and about to make love." said Rebecca, eyes fixed to the screens. "Is this what you do?" asked Lauren, conscious of her nakedness. "Yes, but we use love to symbolise the union of fate and desire. It's a lovely ceremony full of flowers, music and wonderful words. You see, those getting married into the Church don't see their partners until the ceremony, like I said. Then they are joined together and we celebrate the continuation of the Church. Father Paul normally reads from the Bible and then we eat together." "Who's Father Paul?" "He leads the Church. Has done for years. Oh, look at this bit!" The girl in the picture had straddled the log and sat down on it, one leg either side. Her blonde hair fell loosely over her shoulders almost touching the log as the boy stood in front, also straddling the log, and put his hands on his hips. The next frame showed the little girl pulling at his costume belt, his cock poking out from between the layers of material. "Hey, he's so young. And she looks like she's about ten!" said Mike with a frown on his face. The boy had a small cock that stuck straight out from between his legs, and there was a distinct absence of pubic hair. The pictures showed the girl lying back on the log as her thin legs spread either side. She had no knickers on, her tiny pussy now visible through the parting in her gown, also devoid of hair. Stefan's cock had benefited from Rebecca's ministrations, and was now fully recovered as she rubbed the big orb against her cheek. Lauren looked down at Mike's lap and noticed that his had almost returned to a state of rest. Lauren rested her hand on his right shoulder and gave him a hug. The boy was now leaning forward, pressing the tip of his cock against her unyielding pussy and using both hands to try and undo her belt and expose her body to his gaze. They all watched silently, aware that between frames the little girl had suddenly become very wet, even if she wasn't very ready for him. There was no sign of her clitoris or inner lips as he pushed into her. However, she appeared to enjoy it as she raised her hips and met his thrusts. Several close-up pictures showed the little boy inside her as far as he could go, a mixture of pain and surprise on the girl's face. The scene changed to show her lying, now naked, on the log on her front, resting on her gown which she had apparently taken off before rolling over. The boy, also naked, was again positioned ready to strike. Mike crossed his legs, fearing what he was about to see. Lauren looked at him quizzically and returned to the screen in time to see the boys cock plunge into her anus. The look on the little girl's face was one of intense pain as Lauren flinched and let out a little cry. "Hey, don't worry. He's only small!" reassured Rebecca. "But that's in her .." "It's OK" Lauren wasn't convinced, especially when she noticed a tear running down the girl's face as the boy struggled to penetrate with less than half his length. "Hey, I'm sorry, but really they are only actors. She's probably fifteen or sixteen, you know." Rebecca canceled the slideshow and turned back to her brother. "Let's relieve this big boy!" smiled Rebecca, taking him in both hands. Lauren smiled, looking at his cock, and moved further onto the bed to get a better look of Rebecca running her hand along his weapon and licking the bulging end. Rebecca slowly moved her hand up and down her brother's tool, her smile broadening as she half-closed her eyes and pulled back the foreskin. It slid easily to reveal the purple knob of his cock, providing the little inspiration that Rebecca needed to open her mouth and introduce the shaft between her lips. Her tongue worked the end almost casually, knowingly, as it circled the head and felt it's way occasionally along the length of him, returning to the top to give it an affectionate flick as it throbbed in her face. Lauren moved her hand behind her, still staring at Stefan's cock, and took hold of her brother's limp tool. She remembered the last time they had been together, loving each other in the bath, and recalled that it was probably one of the times that Rebecca had seen them in their kitchen, as she played with his cock and convinced him to have a wash with her. She turned and smiled at him, her eyes communicating more than words as he shuffled towards her and took her face in his hands. They kissed, his cock rising rapidly to swell in her hands as she brought it back to life. The two girls pulled their men onto the bed and made them kneel side by side as they stroked their cocks and licked the sensitive tips, Lauren taking notes from Rebecca with regard to style and technique. The girls' cheeks touched as they both sucked their brothers, Rebecca and then Lauren holding their balls as they lapped contentedly. They came quickly, almost together and without much noise, shooting their load of white cum into the waiting mouths as Rebecca swallowed hard. Lauren let most of her brother's load dribble from her mouth, down her chin and onto her lap, although she did pluck up courage to swallow the last few spurts, pleased to find that it didn't make her immediately sick. Rebecca let the cock fall from her mouth and turned to Lauren, pulling her off her source of fun so that she could kiss her on the lips and taste her mouth. Rebecca gently caressed Lauren's breasts, rubbing a trace of cum over her nipples as Lauren brought her hand up, supporting her friend's ample left breast as she rubbed the nipple. But their energy was gone. Lauren was tired and felt that she would not experience the same intensity of orgasm a second time that day, even with Rebecca in the driving seat. Rebecca recognised her body language and gently kissed her lips and forehead. And so the children dressed, cleared up the patio and kitchen so that by eight o'clock, as the light was fading and the bats were starting their nocturnal patrols, Lauren and Mike bade them farewell and returned next door. Chapter 21a Thursday 13th August Nikki and Lauren discussed the idea of Lauren returning to Marlene's for another session of photos. Nikki said she thought it sounded like fun, especially since Lauren had clearly enjoyed herself so much. She was also happy to go along with the story of Lauren staying at her house for the night - something that was not uncommon and therefore was unlikely to be discovered. Both girls knew that sometime Lauren would have to do the same for her, and that's what friends were for. Jim had called her earlier in the week to confirm that he had talked to Marlene and she would be able to offer Lauren some work, although nothing very exciting. She had also said `yes' to allowing them both to stay the night and so the plan swung into action with Lauren filling a small overnight bag with her pyjamas, an old dressing gown with Cookie Monster on the pockets that her mother insisted she pack, and other non-essential items. With her toothbrush, flannel and little bits of makeup packed into a wash bag, she snapped the locks shut and bounced out of her room. Since she only been awake for about an hour, this in itself was almost a record for a non-school day. There had been little choice on what to wear, either her yellow dress (no, because she wore that the last time she saw Jim) or a semi-traditional white cotton dress with embroidered flowers around the puffed sleeves and hem (that'll keep mum happy as well). The saving grace about the white dress was that she had been given it one summer when she was about ten, and since it would hardly go out of fashion, the great benefit was that as she grew older, and taller, so the dress grew shorter. She had agonised over her wardrobe the previous night, realising that almost all her clothes were for little girls, rather than a young teenager. She wished she had the money to change many of them, but knew that just with most of her schoolfriends, they had to exist on their weekly pocketmoney. A few of her contemporaries had been lucky enough to get Saturday jobs (such as that fat girl Claudette who worked in her father's shop) but even then it was usually only during the tourist season. However, she did determine to think hard in the future about the clothes she bought, rather than keep buying the same cheap old things whenever she had a few francs to spare. White underwear and the famous sandals completed the look, and it would just have to do. At precisely eleven o'clock, she waved good-bye to her mother and walked in the direction of Nikki's house. However, three minutes later, she arrived at the bus stop further down the road, jumped aboard when the bus arrived thirty seconds later and took a seat on the opposite side to her house. As the bus moved off, she crouched down, pretending to open her luggage, just to make sure that nobody could see her from the street. She sat back up once she knew she was approaching the industrial area, mighty pleased with herself and ready to alight at the station. Lauren waited less than five minutes for Jim. He sauntered around the corner of the station clutching a dreadful old brown grip that looked like it had also seen time in India. "Where did you get that thing?" she asked. "My mum made me bring it" he said, clearly embarrassed. They kissed each other self-consciously, feeling eyes watching them as they made their way to the ticket office and then on to the platform. They had almost twenty minutes to wait and so they caught up with each others news, while avoiding the obvious topic of the arrangements for the night. The journey was uneventful, and Marlene was at the station to give them a lift back to the house. As Lauren climbed the stairs from the garage, she looked around to find that nothing seemed to have changed. The door to the reception area was open, and she waved to Simone sitting behind the desk, talking to someone on the phone. Simone smiled back warmly, waving at her to come in and sit down. Marlene shut the backdoor and joined them, waiting for Simone to finish on the phone before talking. "Well, hello again! said Simone, rising from her chair to walk round the desk. She sat down on the edge cross-legged, facing the two children. She looked just as beautiful as before with her long dark hair shining naturally as it hung over her shoulders and down her back. Her tight-fitting white polo-necked sweater and short black skirt and stockings, black heels and a black belt that pulled her waist in accentuated her figure and gave incredible shape to her medium sized breasts and hips. "That set of photos that you did last time, they've really grown on me. You turned out to be very relaxed and capable. Well done!" she smiled. Lauren blushed noticeably, looking at her knees and then across to Jim and Marlene. "It was fun, I really enjoyed it. Do you have some more for today?" "Sure, I took a look at the run list, you can do sweaters or knickers. Nothing famous though. Then we've got some bras and blouses - matching would you believe!" said Marlene happily. "Do you want my advice?" asked Simone. "Sure" said Lauren "I think you'll find it's too hot to do the sweaters, even with the air conditioning in the studio. They're for the winter catalogue and we don't have to have that finished for another month. "OK, let's do the others then" said Lauren, keen to get the session underway. "I'll stay here again" said Jim with mock boredom. "Tell you what, let's have a quick look at your last session and make sure we realise what went right and what went wrong" said Marlene, pulling an album across the coffee table. She opened it at the front page, and Lauren was delighted to see that there was a full sized portrait of her, enlarged from the last time, stuck right on the inside of the cover. Lauren thought she looked great, so clear and fresh. She thought her mother would love the photo but was quite sure that it would be impossible to explain where it had been taken. They leafed through the album, pointing at deficiencies in both the camerawork and the modeling. Lauren saw once again the shots of her knickers, and true to form, Marlene discussed them in a purely technical manner. Lauren could remember every last word that Marlene had used to describe the knickers and her vagina, and was impressed to hear them all over again, plus a few additional details about the colour of her skin and the shape that the tight knickers suggested as they hugged her pussy lips. Lauren thought about Jim but dared not look at him. She remember the thick cock pushing against her entrance as they lay on the studio floor, and also his hardness as he rested against her on the mountain. She was convinced that if she had touched him then she would have found his cock hard and ready. Simone gave her the stock numbers of the knickers and disappeared into the technical room. The light above the door once again stated `No Entry'. Lauren went through the studio and into the storeroom, leaving Jim to sit and read women's magazines. She was quite sure that within two minutes he would be looking through the pictures of her. She certainly hoped so. She located the boxes quickly, pulling out all the different styles in her size. Luckily they had already been bunched together because there were over twenty pairs which were going to take some time to photograph. Marlene knocked on the door as she pulled the white dress off over her head. "Can I come in?" "Sure" "Simone will do your hair and makeup - you'll need it for the blouses and bras. Why not put the first pair of knickers on and come and sit out here by the makeup table. Oh, and wear them in the order you find them, otherwise everyone gets confused. Use any old blouse on top that you want." "OK, be out in a minute" Lauren pulled her own knickers off, inspecting the gusset for any tell- tale signs of happiness, and pulled on one of the samples. She grabbed a pretty white blouse that was conveniently hanging on one of the racks and slipped it on, fastening a couple of the buttons at the front. Simone had been right - even with the air conditioning it was warm in the studio. She walked across the floor to the small stool and sat down, looking in the mirror at her face and hair. As if by magic, Simone stood behind her, placing her hands on her shoulders and gathering her hair together. "Your hair is getting dry in the summer heat, you're going to have to look after it a bit. I'll wash it for you tonight and show you what you can do." said Simone, massaging Lauren's forehead and pulling her hair back over her crown. "That would be nice, are you staying here as well tonight" "Sure, I often do." She paused, taking a brush to Lauren's brown wavy hair and gently working at the tangles. "You know, I'm glad you're seeing Jim. He's a nice boy." She paused again to continue her brushing. "I had a boyfriend at your age. He was very special to me as well." "How long did you go out with him for?" "Oh, about two years." She brushed slowly, running from the top of her head and down the side to her shoulders. The motion caused Lauren to lean back and rest her head against Simone. "We used to make love at every opportunity we could, just like you and Jim. Just like millions of others the world over. I used to think it was so dreamy." "What happened?" "Oh, we just drifted apart. Nothing definite, just stopped seeing each other as regularly, and then that was it. But he encouraged me to go in for modeling, and I'm so grateful that he did." "Do you still do any?" "Oh yes, now and again" Simone paused, brushing continually. "Perhaps we could do some together. Actually, we could do some together after you've seen my portfolio. That might give you some ideas about what you would like to do." "I'd really like that" said Lauren, pleased that Simone felt she could trust her enough to talk to her about her boyfriends and past loves. "OK, it's a deal. After you've done this knicker stuff, then we'll take a break and I'll show you the pictures." She crouched down behind Lauren and looked at her in the mirror. "Guaranteed to make Jim randy as hell, though. Can you handle him?" she giggled. "Yeah, he'll just have to wait `til tonight!" "Let's do it then!" enthused Simone, standing back up and selecting eye shadow and a little lip gloss. She made her up carefully, looking very closely at what she was doing as she bent over Lauren, taking care not to block the light on her face. "There you go, that should do. We might touch you up a bit later if you get hot under the lights. I'll go and tell Marlene that we're ready." Lauren wandered over to the stool, and saw the armchair over in the far corner of the white studio floor. Her mind started to run through her love-making with Jim until she realised that to continue might result in another damp patch in her knickers which would be naughty. Her imagination took hold of her thoughts, leading her astray by suggesting that the only time she could do that would be for sexy photos, like Jane in the video film. The thought produced a surge of excitement within her as the idea took hold, until she shook her head to try and bring herself back to reality. However, the germ of the idea had been implanted and was not going to be killed off lightly. "OK!" bellowed Marlene, striding into the studio, "Is that the first pair?" "Yes, the label says HG020" "Thanks. Now, I want you to stand on the yellow spot each time. I'll take two pictures of each. First straight on, the second with you turning a little to either your left or right. Doesn't matter which way. Hands on head!" Marlene looked into the viewfinder of her camera and focused on Lauren's knickers. She then stood up, holding the cable release and smiled at Lauren. "Here we go." There was a flash, and Lauren turned to her right. A second flash. Lauren squinted in the bright lights, remembering the difficulty she had last time in seeing the camera. "Very good. Should be HG021 next, then 22, 23 and so on. This time, can you just tie up the blouse in a knot so that it's well above the waistline. Thanks." Lauren went back into the clothes room and slipped of the first pair, leaving them fairly tidily on the floor. The second pair fitted just as well, and Lauren walked quickly out to find the yellow spot. Marlene took both pictures. "Just a thought, why not bring the whole pile out here. I won't look, promise!" said Marlene. Lauren scooted back into the clothes room and picked up the pile, taking off the previous pair and leaving them on the floor again. Naked from the waist down, she returned to the studio, dumping the knickers unceremoniously on the floor. Engrossed in her work, Lauren squatted in front of the lights and looked through the pile for HG022, finding them towards the bottom of the pile. Annoyed that they weren't in order, she stood and pulled them over her legs and up to her waist, making faces as though they were too tight. She brushed her wavy brown hair away from her shoulders in mock annoyance and faced the camera. After a couple more samples, Lauren pulled off pair HG024 and sat down on the studio floor. "I'm going to sort these into order or we'll be here all night!" "OK, no hurry" replied Marlene from somewhere beyond. Lauren immersed herself in the task of sorting them into numerical order, oblivious to her surroundings. She initially sat so that her bottom rested on her feet, but as she moved around, sorting them out, she crawled around the floor in all directions, realising after a couple of minutes that her sorting scheme was not working well. "Here, let me help" said Marlene, walking towards her. She sat down as well, not looking at all at Lauren, just concentrating on doing the job. When it was almost finished, she returned to her position and Lauren pulled on pair twenty-five, sighing out loud and jumping happily onto the yellow spot. They continued, Lauren gaining confidence as the session began to get it's own rhythm. After another fifteen minutes they had finished, and Lauren scampered back into the clothes room to pull on her own knickers and group together the samples. She grabbed a short skirt off the rack and pulled it on. As she returned to the studio, Simone came into the room. "Hey, looks like I'm just in time. Want to see my portfolio then?" "What about Jim?" asked Marlene "He's seen a naked girl before I think, and Lauren can look after him later!" said Simone, giggling as she looked at Lauren, who giggled too at their grown-up conversation. "OK then, let's take a look" said Marlene, leading the way out to the reception area. Jim was waiting there, clearly pleased to see Lauren again and anxious for her to sit next to him as he moved cushions around the sofa. Simone walked across to the filing cabinet and pulled out a photo album, fifty centimeters square. She laid it on the table and sat with the children next to Jim. Lauren glanced up as she heard a clink to see Marlene bringing a bottle of champagne and four glasses across from inside the filing cabinet. "Time to celebrate!" she announced. "What's it for?" asked Lauren. "We're celebrating that you two are here! And today you can drink as much as you want, you don't have to go home tonight, eh?" said Simone. "That's really nice of you, we're very grateful!" said Jim, taking the glass offered to him. Lauren looked at the champagne and told herself that she would only have a little this time. They clinked glasses and settled down to look at the album. "This is more like a history book." said Simone. "The only person who has ever taken stills of me is Marlene, and she started when I was about eleven. So here we go!" Simone turned back the cover to display two portraits of herself, both taken outdoors. "Most of these were taken before I did any film work" "You're so pretty there!" exclaimed Lauren. Jim opened his mouth to speak but said nothing. Simone turned the page to show some studio shots, four to each page, with Simone dressed in a skirt and blouse with white tights or stockings on her legs and shoes that seemed to glitter in the lights. "That's me in my party dress, the first time ever that I had worn stockings with a suspender belt. That day I did a load of catalogue stuff. Sweaters and tracksuits I think. Goddamn boring, so Marlene let me dress up." Marlene smiled contentedly at her young model and made comment about how difficult it was on some days to get her to do decent poses. Lauren was spell-bound by the pictures and thought to herself that it was interesting how fate had conspired to give them similar experiences. The page turned, showing Simone in a selection of nighties. Clearly, that was the only thing she was wearing as it was easy to see her nipples and the dark triangle of hair through the delicate fabric. "Do you do any films now?" asked Lauren. "No, I stopped a few years ago. I wanted to do sort of sexy horror stuff but there aren't very many directors who are into that sort of thing. The last one I did went wrong because the director didn't understand what the story required. We were filming and he just stopped it because he got scared, I think. Weird man, he was." "This was really effective" said Marlene, pointing at a shot of Simone taken from the side in a white nightie, bent backwards over a small padded footstool, her hands trailing behind her with her feet on the ground. The mound of her vagina and the suggestion of her breasts gave the picture a highly erotic feel without being overtly sexual. Lauren turned the page, sneaking a look at Jim. She put her left hand on his thigh. There were only two pictures on the next page, full sized of Simone in a similar pose over the low stool, but naked. She turned the book round to orientate it properly, noticing the tuft of pubic hair and the nipples showing clearly in the profile. Lauren slurped at her drink noisily. "That's ... great" said Jim. Lauren and Simone looked at him as if to encourage him to expand on his comment. "I mean, it's beautiful, the line from your feet all the way to your hands down here." Lauren smiled, nodding in agreement as she squeezed his leg. "Think I should do that?" asked Lauren. "Er, I'm not sure. Do you want to?" he asked. "Maybe. We'll see!" "There's no hurry. You do what you want." said Marlene. The next few pages showed Simone in evening dress, swim suits and sports clothes, gradually growing older as the pages turned. Lauren thought she would have been about sixteen in her tennis outfit, showing her well developed legs, a hint of frilly knickers and very evident nipples underneath her blouse. Her hair was shorter in the pictures, making her look a lot younger. Jim turned the page and drew breath quickly. The next two pictures showed Simone back in the studio, sitting on the white chair that he knew so well, naked with her legs pulled right up to her face so that the shape of her vagina was clearly obvious between her legs, without showing too much detail except a little of her pubic hair. In the second photo, Simone was peeking from behind her legs, smiling straight into the camera. Lauren had never seen such a beautiful girl naked, and looked at the perfect shape of her legs, the way her arms curled around them and the cheeky grin on her face as she smiled. Her hair fell straight from her head, framing her cheeks and adding contrast against her faultless skin. "I'm going to start printing the pictures we took this afternoon, you three can carry on. Just shout if you need me!" said Marlene, entering the darkroom. Chapter 21b Lauren turned the page. The next set of photos showed Simone with a young boy, maybe slightly older than Jim, but nonetheless still a young teenager. They were both naked to the waist, holding each other in their arms, and just touching their lips together in a kiss. On some photos, Simone had her head on his shoulder, while on others she looked straight up into his eyes. Turning the page, they saw her again, this time doing the same thing with a young girl, about the same age as Simone would have been. "Marlene wanted me to try both on the same day to understand the differences of working with both boys and girls in the nude. We had a real laugh that day but didn't get very much work done!" said Simone, smiling at the memory. She turned the page to show herself now naked with the boy. She lay almost flat on the floor while the boy held both her hands in an effort to pull her up. Her firm breasts pushed out towards him, while her vagina was mainly hidden from the camera. Again, the next page showed the same, but with the girl pulling her off the floor. Finally, the last few pages showed the boys cock, poised at the entrance to her vagina and then halfway inside her, with Simone's eyes closed and a smile evident on her face. The pose was full of power without being rough, his position loving as he looked down on her. The last two pages showed four photos; the other girl with her hand covering Simone's vagina, and then with a single finger inside her. The facing page showed them in a sixty-nine position, with the focus centered on the girls tongue as it touched Simone's clitoris, and finally a shot of the two girls kissing gently in each other's arms. "They're amazing! You're so beautiful" said Lauren, enthralled by the album. "That's over about four years, and of course you don't see the hundreds and hundreds that didn't work." Simone smiled, closing the book and returning it to the filing cabinet. They both accepted more champagne when Simone offered as she refilled their glasses. "We should have something to eat sometime. Do you want to do some photos or have some of Marlene's lasagna?" asked Simone, sitting back on the edge of the desk. She made no attempt to cross her legs in front of Jim who had a glorious view between her legs. "I'd like to do some photos. Will you do some with me?" she asked, turning to Jim. "Well, I don't know. I don't mind doing some, but not, you know, all the way." he replied, looking imploringly at Lauren and Simone. "It would look good in your portfolio if you did some boy-girl stuff" advised Simone. "Please, just a few. Go on!" pleaded Lauren. "OK, but we'll stop when I've had enough." "Great, you're a star. Come on" she said, taking her wine in one hand and Jim in the other. Simone knocked on the door of the darkroom and shouted to Marlene, just to let her know that her services were required in the studio. They all trooped back into the room, Jim having a good look around as his eyes adjusted to the glare. Lauren skipped over to centre stage and held out her hand for Jim to join her. "Let's set up the stool and try out a few poses with just Lauren" said Simone, pulling the stool onto the white floor and pushing it towards the yellow mark. She showed her how to lie on the stool, and even demonstrated herself how she had posed for the portfolio shots. Lauren lay down and copied her, although the effect dressed as she was in the skirt and blouse was less than erotic. Simone repeatedly checked the pose, moving an arm or foot and then retreating towards the camera until she was happy. "Right, remember that!" she said. "Now, this is what I suggest. You do a few naked on your own on the stool, then you and Jim can do some topless. The you and I can do the same, and finish with us both naked, and me pulling you off the ground. Then you'll have roughly the same set as me. OK?" "Yeah. Shall we start?" asked Lauren, standing up and wandering over to her champagne. She took a deep swig and put the glass back on the floor, wobbling slightly as she stood back up. "Yup, off you go. This one is just you, lying on the stool on your back." advised Simone, standing behind the camera as Marlene joined them. Lauren turned her back to the camera and undid her blouse, letting it fall from her shoulders before throwing it away from her. She then slipped off the skirt and pulled down her knickers, again making sure they landed away from the white floor. Carefully, she sat back down on the stool and leaned back so that her feet touched the ground and her head fell backwards over the edge of the stool on the other side. As she stretched out behind her, Simone moved towards her. "This won't work with your hair, it's too strong. I'll find you a big hat, hang on" said Simone, entering the clothes room and emerging seconds later with a wide-brimmed boater. "Try this, lean up!" Lauren sat up and pulled the hat into place. As she leaned back again, the hat threatened to fall off. "You can keep one hand on it without spoiling the effect, I think." said Marlene. Lauren leaned right back and assumed the pose, one hand on her head holding the hat in place with the other right out behind her, trailing onto the floor. The subtle peaks of her breasts were evident against the flatness of her stomach, as was the tiny wisp of hair that marked the beginning of her sex. After several flashes, Simone walked onto the set and examined how she was laying. She rearranged her right leg so that it bent at the knee and tilted the hat slightly. Three more flashes, and Simone returned again. "You'll need to get your nipples firmer. Can you do it?" she asked. "Like this?" "Yes, look here" said Simone, tweaking her other nipple and feeling it harden to her touch. She knelt down to see how the nipples looked in profile. "Great, two more!" Marlene actually took another six before Simone announced that Jim should join Lauren, just kneeling to her right on the other side from the camera, holding her right hand. "Look into her eyes" said Marlene as another couple of flashes made him blink. "Lauren, undo the buttons on his shirt" said Simone, walking over to the makeup table and returning with a big hairbrush for Jim. She made him look much tidier and took some time to stand at Lauren's feet and survey the scene. "OK, now touch his chest, Lauren." The session continued, Jim holding Lauren in his arms as she sat up, then kissing her as his shirt came off. They stood up, Lauren naked and oblivious to the camera, as they kissed and Jim touched her breasts, the camera flashing all the while. "Jim, take your trousers off and hold her close to you. Lauren, put your knickers back on for a while." suggested Simone. "I don't think I want to do anymore" he said apologetically. "Oh come on, just a bit more!" said Lauren, pulling her knickers up. Jim thought for a moment before replying that he would do a few more, but not many. Simone returned and pulled Lauren up so that she stood next to Jim who was still kneeling in front of her. "Jim, pull her knickers down a few inches. Lauren, turn towards the camera a little more." said Simone as the camera flashed madly. Simone dived in quickly to edge his face closer to her pubic hair, stepping away as Marlene took another series of shots. Jim relaxed slightly, relieved that she was not being called upon to perform anything against his will, and moved closer to kiss the beginning of Lauren's light covering of hair. Lauren pulled him into her, the camera recording the sight of her little breasts leading to her flat stomach, with her boyfriend's face hard against her vagina. "Jim, stand up, and now you, Lauren, kneel down. You need to look like you're worshipping him. Great, that's it." Simone paused momentarily while Marlene loaded another film. "Right, now bring his trousers down a few inches." Lauren undid his trouser buttons and fly as she looked up into his eyes. She was clearly fired up by the occasion, while he still showed reluctance at proceeding much further. He inhaled deeply though as she ran her hand up his cock, touching him through his underpants. "Lovely, look into his eyes again as you do that!" Lauren looked up obligingly, but was concerned by the look on his face. "Lauren, where is your left hand? What's it doing there? You're supposed to be dying to rip his clothes off, not measuring him for a new pair of trousers! Let me look at you" said Simone, returning to the scene and looking at the two children. Jim stood quite still, his cock trying to poke out from the side of his underpants while Lauren was clearly uncomfortable kneeling on the floor. "Lauren, sit on your bottom so that you look happier" ordered Simone, kneeling down with Lauren. Without warning, she pushed her hand down Jim's underpants and moved his cock so that it stood straight up. He squealed from the surprise intrusion, not withdrawing but wobbling on his feet. Lauren smiled as the tip of his cock poked over his waistband. The outline of his weapon maddened her and she knew that there was a sizable damp spot growing between her legs. Simone disappeared back to the camera, and the flashes resumed. "Jim, do you want to do any more?" asked Marlene. "I think that's enough, actually, thanks." he replied. "OK, now I'll do some with you, Lauren. Stand up straight" commanded Simone as she exchanged places with Jim. She pulled the naked little girl towards her, allowing her long dark hair to fall between them, partially covering Lauren's little breasts. Lauren could feel the warmth of her cashmere jumper, and the firmness of her chest intrigued her beyond measure. She looked up slightly into Simone's eyes as she felt her arms fold around her tightly. The camera flashed again while Simone arranged the boater on her head and smiled at her. After a few shots, Simone unlocked herself from their embrace and pulled her jumper over her head, revealing her white lace bra. They returned to the same pose and another few moments were recorded in history. Simone asked Lauren to undo the little clasp at the front of her bra, watching as it fell to the ground. The camera recorded the event. Lauren stared down at her breasts and saw that they were perfect in every detail. She could imagine (quite correctly) that they were perfectly formed as they grew from just below her collar bone downwards in a slightly concave shape to the nipple, and then in a convex, rounded fashion back to her upper chest. They were larger than Lauren's, but not much more than a 36B. The temptation to reach up and touch them proved too great, and as she did so, the camera again flashed a number of times. Simone leaned down slightly and caressed her neck, tilting Lauren's head up as their lips met. Lauren felt light- headed as her legs refused to support her body. The wine and lack of food were taking their toll as she held Simone's arm, sinking onto the stool. "God, I feel so weird. I think I need something to eat soon." she said, sitting on the stool. "OK, let's just finish this and then we can have tea" said Simone. She turned towards Lauren. "Take this skirt off and pull my knickers down a bit." Lauren helped her out of the remainder of her clothes, shaking her head very slightly in disbelief as she exposed Simone's vagina. She pulled at Simone's hand, dragging her down to whisper in her ear. "Hey, I'm so wet and so wobbly!" "So am I. Feel!" she giggled loudly. Lauren slowly pushed a finger into the delightful valley between Simone's pussy lips, feeling the slickness and silky smoothness of her highly aroused state. The camera flashed madly, encouraging both girls to continue their intimacy. Simone placed her left foot beside Lauren on the stool, opening up her pussy and showing every wonderful fold to the camera. Lauren heard Marlene and Jim discussing the shot behind the lights, and she realised that he must be watching and able to see everything. In her muddled way, she wondered what he was thinking. Her mind refused to consider very much at all, and came up with the answer that there wasn't much to worry about. "Let's do the floor shots, you lie down and I'll pull you up." suggested Simone, swinging her off the stool and onto the floor. Lauren lay on the cold studio and looked up at the lights which were clearly moving around, their heat beating down on her body until Simone appeared above her, replacing their bright glare with the dark view of her pussy and now her very obvious clitoris. They joined hands and Simone pulled her so that her head fell back, her right leg bent as she remembered from the photos earlier. Lauren counted more than ten flashes while Simone held both hands, then just one, and finally squatted down and pulled her upwards with her hand behind her neck, her face almost between her legs. Simone swapped places and lay on the floor, but Lauren was suffering as the room spun uncontrollably and she fought to keep her balance. "Are you OK, Lori?" asked Jim. "I just need something to eat. Some chocolate or something. If I don't get energy sort of foods then I get really wobbly." She had just finished the words when Jim caught her as her legs started to buckle underneath her. Simone jumped up and they carried her from the studio into the reception area, laying her down on the long sofa. After Jim's initial concern had subsided, he realised that he was sitting next to a naked thirteen-year old in his underpants with an indecent bulge evident to everyone, while a gorgeous naked twenty-five year old beauty stood beside him, close enough for him to recognise the wonderful smell of pure sex. "Close your eyes, Lori. Marlene is making some hot chocolate that should do the trick." said Jim, holding her hand. Lauren half closed her eyes, her head quite still as she held onto the sofa. Jim looked up at Simone who smiled back, putting her hand on his shoulder. He fought hard to keep his eyes from drifting, but to no effect as his gaze moved from her eyes to her lips, down over her breasts and finally came to rest between her slightly parted legs. She watched him carefully, squeezing his shoulder in encouragement as she sat down behind him, out of sight of Lauren. He turned so that he could continue to hold her hand, while watching her settle down behind him, one foot on the floor and the other on the sofa. Her pussy was now completely in view, her right hand moving over her stomach to seek out her pubic hair and then down onwards to her clitoris and labia. Jim watched, unaware that his mouth was now slightly open. Any idea his cock might have had about having a rest vanished as she rubbed her vagina with the palm of her hand and leaned back with her eyes closed. Marlene brought Lauren's hot chocolate in, deliberately ignoring Simone's activities. They all helped her to sit up and sip the drink, in between chunks from a large Toblerone bar. Marlene draped a green, wholesome looking dressing gown over her shoulders to keep her warm. "Think you're better have a rest. Lack of food, excitement and drink don't always go together, you know." said Marlene. "You should have a little sleep. It's only four o'clock. We'll wake you at five" "I'd like to. I'm sorry, Jim!" she said quietly, accepting a helping hand from Marlene as she pulled on the dressing gown and warily got to her feet. Jim and Simone waved good-bye as she tramped off up the stairs. As she lay in the bed, feeling slightly better but still aware that she had drunk too much, she could her voices and laughter from below. She thought about the beauty of Simone and how wonderful it had been just to feel her breasts. She also considered what Jim could be doing downstairs, and whether Simone had put some clothes on yet. But then she distinctly heard the sound of pots and pans from the kitchen. Pleased with the thought that they were all helping with the evening meal, she drifted off into much needed sleep. She awoke slowly, searching the room for signs of familiarity until she realised that she was not in her own bedroom but at Marlene's house. She looked towards the window and saw that it was still daytime, recalling that she had left the others downstairs for a quick afternoon sleep. Curling into a ball, she pulled the covers around her chin and smiled. She was excited by the thought of having her own portfolio, especially with Jim featuring in part of it, and the lovely Simone as well. She found the dressing gown and stood up, pulling on the robe and clumping downstairs into the reception area. "Hey, how do you feel?" asked Jim, walking over to her with concern on his face. He was now dressed again, trousers and shirt covering the body that Lauren wanted to hold so tight an hour ago. Simone was dressed in a red silk robe that looked like a Japanese kimono that came down to mid-thigh, tied at the waist with a red silk belt. Lauren guessed that she had no knickers on, and was equally sure that she would find out before the end of the evening. "I had a lovely sleep. I'm fine! Did I miss anything?" "We - Jim and I that is - had a long talk, and he wants to finish the photo set just like mine if you want to." said Simone, looking at Jim for confirmation. "Oh great, thanks!" said Lauren, sitting on the sofa and kissing Jim on the lips. She looked at him lovingly, resting her hand on his thigh and her head on his shoulder. "Well, maybe just a few, and Simone wanted to do some more for hers, so I said I would, just this once." he said. The implication that Jim might have sex with Simone and herself was upsetting to her. She looked bewildered as she turned over in her mind the risks that she was running in agreeing to the proposal. She had little choice, as she felt sure that she could hardly forbid them to pose together. Her concern that Jim might run away with Simone after finding her sexier was the major worry, for surely she could not compete with the experience, looks or sheer presence of Simone. "Hey, we'll only do a couple and then you can have him back for ever!" said Simone, kneeling down in front of Lauren and holding her hands. Lauren visibly cheered up. "That's OK, I trust him. I trust you all!" "Let's have some tea then and well do a few more afterwards. Then we can relax and you two lovers can disappear upstairs." said Marlene, walking out of the room. "Come on!" Dinner was served in the dining room around an old square wooden table. The room, in Lauren's opinion, was ghastly, suffering from an over- abundance of wood carvings, trinkets and holiday momentoes that added up to pure annoyance. She sat opposite Jim and amused herself by rubbing her foot over his leg but unsuccessfully reaching any further. The lasagna was expertly made, and Lauren was in the mood for food. Her light-headedness had gone, but there was still a feeling of emptiness inside her that gradually evaporated with the second helping. Marlene had also made a long, thickly-filled apple strudel that steamed wildly as she brought it in from the kitchen. They all covered their portions with cream and ate silently, washing the food down with wine or, in the case of Lauren, Perrier. Finally, Marlene brought in a cheeseboard and biscuits, which were also well received and munched as the conversation returned. "Hey, it's eight o'clock! We'd better get going!" said Marlene, rising to clear away the dishes. They all helped her carry the plates through to the kitchen, and Marlene washed up while Lauren and Jim dried. Simone took the plates and cutlery, returning them to the respective drawers and cupboards. It was while she was reaching up to put the plates back onto the top shelf of the wall-cupboard that Lauren saw her kimono rise up, way over her bottom, revealing her pussy and the tempting gap between her shapely legs. Unable to reach the shelf, she put her right knee on the worktop, spreading her legs so that her pussy almost rested on the surface. Jim also saw the exhibition, his eyes bulging slightly as he returned to his duties. A surge of excitement ran through Lauren's stomach, and she found herself moving towards Simone, placing her hands on her hips to steady her. Chapter 22a Saturday 22nd August, 11am Maurice Gisal drove very carefully round the hairpin bends that led from the valley up towards AnneMarie's village, even though he had been up there many times in all seasons. On the back seat was a small suitcase containing every conceivable piece of clothing that Lauren might require during some emergency, plus her overnight things in case she had to stay, plus makeup, a present, camera, spare film and her Cookie Monster dressing gown which was again pressed into service. Daniele, her mother, sat with the luggage in the back, steadying the bridesmaid's skirt and jacket that swung on a hook. Her shoes (which they had remembered as her father started the car), were also on the back seat. Lauren wore jeans, a white T-Shirt with a white bra underneath, and her usual pair of sandals, looking casual but clean and tidy - quite presentable in the eyes of her mother - for a thirteen year-old. "Well, looks like she's going to have nice weather for it." said her mother. "Has anyone met the lucky man. Lauren, you must have seen him?" asked her father, crawling round the corners at about 5 km per hour. "I saw a photo once when she asked me if I wanted to be bridesmaid, he seemed quite nice. Lives in Zurich, I think" replied Lauren. "Just think, that'll be you soon, then you'll leave home and never even remember us" joked her mother. "I'll come home to get my washing done, though" "Yes, I know. Don't you worry, there's never any hurry to get married, for any reason." "How old were you then, mum?" "Oh, I was twenty-two. And your brother was born three years later, then you two years after that. It all seems so long ago and yet I don't know where all the years have gone!" "Here we are, and there's the church where she's getting married." said her father. "I remember that, we've been to a Christening in there before. Can't think for the life of me who it was, though" "Maurice, wasn't it that Italian couple's little boy? Don't really know why we were invited. Probably because you knew him from work" There were three cars parked outside her house already, almost blocking the little lane that led further up the mountain. He parked just outside just as Lauren said that she didn't really need him now. He asked her to call when then wedding reception finished so that he could come and get her. Kissing her cheek, he took the bags from the back of the car while her mother helped her to get the luggage up the front door. Lauren watched as her mother got into the front passenger seat and the car turned in the driveway, waving good-bye as they retraced their route. Lauren pressed the doorbell twice to ensure it was heard over the music and laughter coming from inside the little house, and waited expectantly as she heard clomping noise of someone descending the wooden stairs within. The door opened to reveal a girl about the same age as herself, dressed only in a towel wrapped around her body, knotted in front to cover the tiny mounds of her breasts. "Hey, Lauren?" asked the girl. "Yeah, are you Kirsten? "Yeah, come in, we're all upstairs. AnneMarie is dressing, but there's another two hours yet before the photographer comes." Lauren entered the small hallway, closing the door behind her, and gratefully accepted the help from Kirsten to get her things upstairs. At the top, she glanced to her left to see AnneMarie sitting in front of a vanity unit in her underwear. "Hi, I'm here!" shouted Lauren. "Oh, Lauren, how are you?" replied AnneMarie. Lauren was surprised to the point of being almost stunned. She had expected her to jump up and give her a big hug, but she remained seated and turned back towards the mirror, leaning forward to inspect her eyebrows. "Er, fine. I'll get ready. Is everything allright?" "Fine, thanks! You just worry about yourself." A feint smile flitted across her lips and disappeared as she again turned back to her makeup. Still startled, Lauren followed Kirsten, almost bumping into an old man who emerged from the toilet. "`S'cuse me" he said, going downstairs. As they entered the spare bedroom, Lauren looked at Kirsten. "Who's he?" she asked, closing the door. "Not sure. Been here about an hour. Seems to know AnneMarie somehow." "Do you think AnneMarie's OK, she seems a bit concerned about something?" "Probably just wedding day nerves. It's the most important day of her life, you know. At least, that's what my Mum says." replied Kirsten. Kirsten was slightly shorter than Lauren, and looked like a very cute little girl, with high cheekbones and a rounded face that contained a small nose and twinkling blue eyes. Her blonde hair, cut short, curled slightly at the front. Lauren thought that she spent most of her days laughing and giggling, and was instantly reminded of Nikki. "Hey, did Kristal make your skirt and jacket - she said there were going to be two?" asked Kirsten. "Yes, it was finished about two weeks ago" "She's nice. I had such a fun time at her house. Well, most of the time." "I know. I didn't know she had left her husband so I put my foot in it a bit." said Lauren. "Did she explain why?" "Yeah. In great detail" The girls looked at each other. Kirsten walked across the room to the bed and sat down, the towel parting to show her tanned legs. The unspoken communication between them confirmed in Lauren's mind that Kirsten too had been introduced to the washing game round at Kristal's house. "Did you use her bathroom?" asked Kirsten. "Yeah. Did you dress up?" "No! What happened?" "Oh, nothing much. Just tried on some other clothes, you know" answered Lauren. "Hey, like what?" "You know, underwear, that sort of thing" "Want to hear what happened when I went round there?" "Yeah then I'll tell you what happened to me. Go on" Kirsten explained that she had been there three times, just like Lauren. Firstly to see the pattern, then for the first fitting, and then for the final one. Nothing had happened on the first visit, except that Kristal had measured her and commented on her figure. But Kristal had been wearing a short skirt and a see-through blouse. "On the second visit, we had lunch and I had much to much to drink. We talked about her husband and the things they used to do before they were married. Did she tell you they had sex in an elevator at the mall one Sunday morning?" "God, no!" "Well, she did. Anyway, we talked and eventually she talked about her girlfriend who had washed her. So I suppose I agreed to see what it was like. Did you do that?" "Yeah. Actually, I think it was great. I hadn't done much like that and it really felt different. That's when I tried on the underwear" ""Yeah, same here. She was so kind and considerate, there was no rush. Anyway, that was the second time. The third time was really weird. Again, I had lunch there and had some champagne which went to my head. We, you know, kissed and cuddled and I think I fell asleep, but remember waking up on a plastic sheet on her bed. Somehow, I agreed to her tying my feet and hands together, mainly because I was really randy and she was licking me all over. Then she poured gallons - well, quite a lot - of Baby Oil over me and massaged it into everywhere. "Yeah, I had the same I think, but don't think I was tied up." said Lauren, now sitting next to her, enthralled by the similarity in the sexy story. "Then from nowhere another dark haired girl appeared who looked a bit older, and they then both started to lick and prod me. It was OK at first, but I couldn't see this other girl, except that she had dark hair as I say, and was naked. I began to get scared, and asked them to stop, but Kristal said the best bit was about to happen. This other girl slid behind and underneath me as I lay there, and grabbed round my neck, then reached down and grabbed behind my knees, you see?" "Yeah" Lauren shifted on the bed, trying to give more room for her pussy to breath and expand as she listened to the story. "She pulled my legs right up against my chest so that Kristal could see right into my pussy. And then I saw that she had this enormous man's thing between her legs, which she pushed into me. I screamed and screamed, but Kristal just said to relax and the other girl held me so tight that I thought I'd stop breathing. Anyway, she did stop after a while, and I had to stay there while they did things to each other. Then I really did sleep and went home afterwards. "Mine was similar, but there was only her. She tried this vibrator thing on me which sent me through the roof." "Oh yeah, isn't that great?" "Hmm, but I prefer my boyfriend doing it to me" said Lauren, running her hand through her brown wavy hair. "Oh, you're lucky. I wish I had a boyfriend now. I did have one, sort of, about a year ago, but that was all. That's why I miss Kristal so much. I'm going to see her again on Monday morning for lunch. I said that I wanted the skirt altered for the summer!" "What happened to your boyfriend?" "It wasn't really a boyfriend, you know. It was a cousin who stayed with us from Germany last summer. He was sixteen and I needed to learn about boys, so we fooled around. I let him do it to me three times. It was OK. But Kristal was so different. I simply need more." "But what if it starts to hurt?" "I don't care. I thought about that, but the more it hurt, the more I liked it in the end. Not so much while they were hurting me, but when I came, God, it was amazing! Doesn't it make you wet just talking about it?" "Yeah, and we had better stop because I've got some special underwear for today" said Lauren, opening her little suitcase and taking out the Dior knickers, bra and suspenders. "Oh, wow, let me see!" said Kirsten, taking hold of the knickers and feeling them against her face. "They're lovely. They must have cost a fortune!" "They were a present." Lauren thought that to add anymore might have been unkind. "I'd like a boyfriend like that, who bought me lovely things. Perhaps one day." Lauren pulled her T-Shirt over her head and threw it casually on the bed. She then slipped her tight jeans down her legs and tossed them on top. "You're like me. You get wet so easily!" said Kirsten, looking directly at the gap between Lauren's legs. "I know. Sometimes I get like it just thinking about things." "Me too, like now" said Kirsten. "Do you want to see?" "No, not now. I need to get ready." Kirsten trailed her hands between the folds of her towel and obviously found her pussy, inhaling sharply as her eyelids fluttered. Lauren was unsure what she should do. It was clear that the girl was in need to some sort of attention, but she didn't want to do anything, anxious to get dressed and look her best for the wedding. She saw the towel fall away from her body as the knot slipped undone, her round firm breasts like white icing surrounded by a tanned body. Her gaze followed Kirsten's hand down between her legs and saw she had wonderfully rounded little buttocks. Lauren instantly understood why Kristal would have found her attractive and could visualise the two - or three - of them locked entwined on the bed or patio. Lauren thought she should have been surprised at the total absence of pubic hair, but wasn't in the slightest, noting it with the same interest as she would have a scar or mole. The girl looked like a big baby doll, her mouth slightly open and her eyes half closed as she sat on the bed. "Lauren, don't you find that you need to play with yourself all the time? Lauren sat down on the bed beside her as Kirsten leaned back against the pillows and shed the remainder of her towel. "Well, no, not really. I think I do it about as much as anyone else, maybe a bit more." she offered. "I just have to keep doing it." She paused, sitting up on the bed and looking at her thighs. "I'm in a real mess, I think." "What do you mean?" "I dunno, I just can't stop doing it now. Ever since I went round to Kristal's house I have to keep playing with myself. Sometimes I hit my pussy, like with my school ruler, until it hurts so much I cry." She looked down, her chest heaving as tears began to flow. "But, that's terrible. Why can't you just stop? Just leave yourself alone?" "I don't know. I'm so frightened. I just have to see her, like I'm drawn to her for some reason" "Hey, that's OK. I'm not really very good at helping, you know, with that sort of thing. Listen, I think we should get ready -we need to look as beautiful as possible - you never know if there will be some great boys at the wedding." suggested Lauren. Kirsten brightened up slightly at the mention of the boys and regained her modesty, pulling her towel back over her breasts. Lauren shed her underwear to stand naked in front Kirsten. She reached into the suitcase and pulled out a pair of grey stockings, sat down again on the edge of the bed and rolled them onto her legs. Kirsten watched with a hint of jealousy, toying with her own randomly-selected underwear and the grey tights that had been provided for her. As Lauren stood up and turned, she felt the appreciative gaze of Kirsten all over her body, and defiantly teased her by parting her legs more than necessary and adjusting her suspenders, revealing her sweet, lightly- haired pussy, naked and tempting, to the drooling little girl on the bed. She took the bra from her suitcase and fastened it at the back, still pleased that Kirsten had hardly moved. With a flourish she pulled her knickers up to her waist and tut-tutted as she pretended that the gusset was digging too tightly into the tops of her legs. She smiled at Kirsten sweetly, understanding what Kristal had meant about that strange feeling of power that came with wearing something so powerfully erotic. She felt almost jubilant, and more self-assured than she had for many months as she adjusted the material, the shape of her fingers visible through the fine material as she ran a finger over her warm pussy lips. Today, she decided, was also going to be her day, as well as AnneMarie's. The photographer arrived on time, took a number of photos of AnneMarie dreamily looking out of the window holding her bouquet. The bridesmaids, with their somewhat un-traditional skirt and jacket and small bouquets of wild mountain flowers looked beautiful. Both girls posed confidently, smiling as they looked at each other and reflected their genuine happiness on the occasion of their friend's wedding. Lauren stood at least three inches taller that Kirsten, her legs long for her age and their shape accentuated by the cool grey stockings and medium heels. However, to her disappointment, Lauren barely exchanged ten words with AnneMarie as they waited to depart, and she grew increasingly concerned. Even though AnneMarie may be pre-occupied with her wedding day arrangements, she had been a friend of the Gisal family for most of her life, baby-sitting for Mike and Lauren since she could remember. Lauren was therefore pleased to be able to talk to Kirsten, but as the morning wore on, she became more and more irritated with the situation, and turned her frustration back onto Kirsten for having even involved her in her problems in the bedroom earlier that morning. Just before they had to leave for the church, Lauren thought she might tell Kirsten in no uncertain terms about the displeasure she felt, but as she looked at her, there was no doubting that the girl was cute, bubbly and fun to be with, and so, as usual, Lauren decided that she would be kind to her with regard her moment of need, and not mention it again. She did however still feel used, and reflected that her recent life of promiscuity may not be all fun and games. As she crossed the road to the church, she wondered why she was so quick to allow people to trample over her and concluded that she was maybe the sort that saw the world through rose-tinted glasses, without ever considering that some of people might be less than scrupulous. Her day-dreams led her to think about not only her times with Kristal, but also the photographic sessions with Marlene and Simone. In her mind it had seemed quite innocent at the time, and probably was even still. But the risk was something she had really not considered, and she vowed to do so from that moment onwards. She therefore decided that she would be a one-man girl and would treasure and preserve her relationship with Jim to the exclusion of all others. Her stomach churned when she thought about the last photo session, and how she had asked Jim to pose with her, naked in front of the cameras. Her walk slowed to a crawl as the implications shot through her mind; what did he think of her now, had she been so thoughtless that he would never call her again. As she walked through the graveyard, she hoped that since they had made love after the photos had been taken that he didn't really mind. There had certainly been passion in the morning before they got out of bed, and so her mind was partially put at ease. However, her conclusions about fidelity remained intact, although the strength of her convictions mellowed as an itch from the label of her suspender belt brought back delightful memories of Kristal. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in this tiny church to witness the wonderful joining in matrimony of AnneMarie and Andre. We shall sing two hymns this morning, and I would ask you all to rise while we sing the first of these, Fight the Good Fight, number 146 in your red hymn books." said the Reverend, his cheeks matching the covers of the hymnals as he bellowed out the words from the altar. Lauren looked behind her to see about sixty or seventy people standing in the pews, all resplendent in their bright dresses and elegant suits. The service continued with solemn prayers for the bride and groom, and then the actual wedding ceremony was conducted, the voice of the Reverend filling the church and most of the neighbourhood. It was no surprise to Lauren that when he asked if anyone knew of any lawful impediment why AnneMarie and Andre could not be joined in holy matrimony, there was no sound at all. "Marriage is something that is approached soberly, maturely and is not undertaken lightly. It is God's way of ensuring the continuation of his kingdom, and by his wish, the joy of children. Take heed that AnneMarie and Andre have considered these things when they repeat their vows in front of you and God today." A child suddenly burst into tears in the second row, her mother rocking her in her arms. As the noise gradually competed with the Reverend the mother shook her until she remembered where she was, and tactfully withdrew outside into the sunshine. "Do you Andre Gesund, take this woman, AnneMarie Grob, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do" he replied. Lauren looked across to see the beads of sweat on his forehead, his fingers nervously toying with his hymnsheet. His features were bland, almost boyish, although he had a great shock of black hair that had apparently been combed once in his life and had never recovered, for it fell over his forehead in a tangle towards his eyes. His morning suit, however, was top quality, and even if it had been hired for the day, it was certainly an expensive looking outfit. Too bad, thought Lauren, that the shop didn't have his size. "To have and to hold, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, from this day forward, till death do us part" "I do." he said. "And now, AnneMarie, do you take Andre Jacques Bertrand Gesund to be your lawfully wedded husband"? "I do" she replied. Lauren thought she was going to wet herself, and clearly from the congregation, there were others who found his name more than a little amusing. Even the Reverend raised his substantial eyebrows at him, seeking guidance from the groom rather than above this time. "To have and to hold, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, from this day forward, till death do us part" Chapter 22b "I do" she replied. The Best Man fumbled in his pocket for the rings and laid them on the Reverends order of service. The groom took the small diamond ring and gently placed it on AnneMarie's finger. It shone brilliantly even on the dim light of the church, and she realised that her life-long baby-sitter and friend was almost married. Did she remember all those long evenings when her parents were out. Did she remember how she would tip-toe downstairs to sit with her and talk about grown-up things, watching late night television programs, and then shooting back to bed as the car headlights shone through the lounge window? Lauren thought that she might recall some of it, but apparently something was not right between herself and AnneMarie, and she realised that she was unlikely anymore until after their honeymoon. AnneMarie took the plain wedding band and pushed it over Andre's finger, tugging his finger tip in order to get it over his second knuckle. "With the exchange of rings, and the vows they have taken amongst you, bear witness that AnneMarie and Andre have entered into a solemn oath. I now pronounce you man and wife." said the Reverend with a flourish of his hand. They kissed gently at the altar and followed the Reverend to the office while the organist played an unknown variation of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro. Lauren and Kirsten followed behind, witnessing the register with the Best Man who turned out to have a modicum of wit and personality. She looked again at the groom, and noticed under his coat tails a large safety pin that held his trousers together. The Best Man, Jakob, caught her stare and smiled back wickedly, nodding. The ensemble returned to the altar and made their way regally down the aisle towards the big double doors and the gravestones beyond. The official photographer had poll position in front of the door, but rapidly became frustrated as another ten relatives and friends began flashing away directly behind him while he did his best to arrange the guests. He tried desperately to out-smart the others by moving quickly ahead, but the bride and groom were waylaid at the church door, turning this way and that, talking to Aunt Elsie (who nobody had seen in fifteen years) and then listening to friend of the family Jacques Souiller tell them about his gall bladder operation. Needless to say, by the time they caught up with the photographer (lurking in the bushes for that `unexpected natural shot') their real wish was to get on to the reception and have a drink. Mr. Souiller had clearly not finished, having only related up to the point where he had been given the pre- medication, and insisted on telling the remainder in the white Mercedes on the way to the hotel, climbing in and holding the door for AnneMarie and her new man. Gently, he was coaxed out and advised that there would be someone to help him shortly. The next couple of minutes saw a re- enactment of the Le Mans 24 hour race, as cars sped away, not caring which route they took, while the Reverend wandered out of his church clutching the pitiful collection. During the endless photographs that appeared to be mandatory before the wedding breakfast, Lauren smiled for all she was worth, posed with AnneMarie and Andre, with Kirsten, with friends of AnneMarie and then in the larger group shots on the lawn of the hotel. Her jaw started to ache at about twelve o'clock, and by one o'clock the pain from her mouth was equal to that from her stomach. She tasted the first prawn at just after half past one, swallowing it without chewing despite the years of lectures. Her seat next to some of Andre's friends was ideal, as she could see across to AnneMarie and also the rest of the guests due to the way the tables had been arranged. She sipped her wine slowly, well aware of the problems that alcohol had caused her in the past few weeks, and surveyed the room. There were a few boys of her age, but nobody special. Perhaps that was just as well. She would have a good dance and meet lots of new people, then go home and curl up in her own little bed. The chicken a la something or other was another Swiss culinary first on a par with air dried beef, the dark meat held down forcibly on the plate with pickles and vegetables of dubious parentage. The meal though did revive her energy level, something that had concerned her again in the morning, although possibly the adrenaline rush from the service had kept it in abeyance. She turned to Kirsten who was delicately munching her way through the salad like a council refuse cart and discussed school and her plans for what was left of the summer holidays. As she replied, Lauren watched her little mouth, thinking that perhaps she wasn't all doll- like. She sipped her wine, recalling their earlier encounter in the bedroom. She also remembered that she was wearing the suspenders and stockings, whereas Kirsten had only tatty old underwear. The thought sent a new surge of power through her bones, giving her conversation a new edge of authority as they discussed clothes, boys and the local towns. She opened her legs very slightly as she felt the familiar signs of arousal moving silently below, like unseen hands massaging and probing, warming, tickling and licking her as they left their wonderful trail of sweet stickiness in their wake. After the meringue and fruit, cheese and biscuits followed, with coffee and mints rounding of the memorable meal. The Best Man lurched to his feet, laughing as he read what appeared to be his speech, banging the side of his glass with a serving spoon. "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all here today on behalf of AnneMarie and Andre. For some reason, Andre asked me to be his Best Man, I think as I've known him for so many years. Yes, I've known all his girlfriends, not in the same way, of course...." he paused as laughter rippled around the room..."and I'm pleased to see so many of you here today" Peals of laughter echoed round the restaurant. "..er, I mean friends, not, you know, girlfriends!" He hiccuped loudly, smiling inanely to himself. Lauren looked at AnneMarie's parents who were clearly putting a brave face on what had every sign of being one of the most embarrassing moments of their lives. She felt sorry for them as they smiled at Andre, no doubt thinking that they would rather have kept their daughter and not gained a son-in-law. "I met Andre just after he moved into the same lodgings as me. It was after a particularly drunken party and I bumped into a young lady leaving his room. No doubt she had mistaken it for the ladies with all the visitors it had." Lauren, along with half the guests, was now convinced that the title of Best Man was unfortunate in this case, and she felt certain that he would end up on the floor before he finished his speech, either through drink or from the force of a blow to his head from any one of about twenty people who were sizing him up. "It was then that I realised that we had very similar tastes, as the lady leaving turned out to be an old friend of mine as well. Small world, eh Andre?" He laughed loudly, waited for others to follow, and sensing that perhaps the joke had gone over his audience's head, continued merrily. "Anyway, now it appears that he has found his perfect match in Mary, and I for one...." "Marie, AnneMarie" said AnneMarie through gritted teeth. "Sure, that's what I said..AnneMarie, and I wish her the best of fuck with him in the future. Er, I should say best of luck." He looked at his crumpled notes, turned the page upside down, disbelieving his eyes as he tried to regain his thread. "Anyway, I have one little story that will titillate you, ha ha, if you know what I mean!" He leaned unsteadily over the table, took a healthy swig of his drink, and banged the glass back on the table. "Hey hey, what a son-in-law, eh?" he laughed, staring at AnneMarie's parents. Their frosty glare did nothing to dispel the warmth of his message as he launched into his final diatribe. "I just want to let you all know that I think you've been wonderful guests, and I have had a great time today as Best Man. So let me tell you all `bout a little time we had in Zurich and how we caused a bit of a scare! Anne, you're going to love this one, believe me, you should have been there!" He laughed to himself uncontrollably, unable to continue as the thought of whatever incident had taken place overcame his small mind and flicked the switch labeled `Quit Now' to override. Some of the guests clearly had a little sympathy left as they smiled with him while he brushed a tear from his eyes. "Ladesh and Gentlemun, there we were, driving down the Bahnhofstrasse late at night when a car that had been following us closhly tried to overtake. So our driver..er, who was it Andre? Eh, mate?" He turned to his friend, noting that he was holding his head in his hands while resting his elbows on the table in front of him. "Well, thash right, my old mate, you `ave a good think." he wobbled uncertainly on his feet, holding tightly to the edge of the table as he looked again at his notes. Finding nothing remotely familiar, he tossed the pages over his shoulder and decided, bravely in the circumstances, to ad lib the remainder. "Well, we speeded up, and Andre `ere decided to show this bloke who's boss." He laughed again, coughing slightly as the humour of the occasion was dredged from the bowels of his mind and prepared for regurgitation. "Well, `e dropped his trousers and pants, opened the window..." He slapped the table with the palm of his hand, laughing as tears fell freely from his eyes. Since most of the assembled had guessed the punchline, annoyance slowly set in. "...'e stuck his bum out the window and waved at the bloke." Lauren tried to keep a straight face, even one of slight annoyance like the older guests around her, but she did find the tale amusing, the decadent behavior appealing to her schoolgirl sense of adventure. However, she decided that the Best Man was a loser, and prayed for him to be struck down by a thunderbolt or anything that might lessen AnneMarie's embarrassment. "But there's more, ha ha. Listen! So I reached over and pushed the window button! Up went the window so he couldn't bleedin' move, and we drove round Zurich all night like that, with his you-know- what stickin' out." Lauren couldn't help but laugh, along with a few of the other younger people there, her stomach bubbling with laughter as she tried to control herself. "Anyway, my old friend, there you go, eh, happy days. But now, you're a married man, so that's the end of your fun and games, eh?" AnneMarie was shaking her head in disgust while Andre was clearly apologising, probably for things that may be said in the remainder of his speech, as well as for his past behaviour. Judging by her expression, AnneMarie had no wish to hear about his past life, and possibly had less inclination to share his future. "And so, I'd like to proposh a toasht to Annie and Andre, what a lovely pair, and may they have a great honeymoon. Just let us know where you're goin' and we'll be there! So, Ladiesh and Gennelmen, a toasht to..er.. a toast to Andre and hish wife, happy lives, eh?" He raised his glass as the guest rose, toasting Andre and AnneMarie quietly before sitting down. The room was silent, except for the scraping noise of the Best Man's chair as he slid back in it. He was still enjoying his car joke, chuckling to himself while those either side of him turned away. AnneMarie's father then spoke, thanking everyone (almost everyone) for coming, and relating the details of the rest of the day. Andre said a few words but had clearly curtailed his speech after energetic discussions with his wife. After they cut the cake, the formality of the occasion dissolved, and people started to wander round the room, looking for old friends, and avoiding others. The newly-weds spent almost an hour opening their presents, thanking everyone and arranging the gifts for all to see. Lauren saw the Best Man slumped on his own in a chair next to the Emergency Exit sign, his eyes half open with a stupid grin on his face. She and Kirsten commented on his performance, both agreeing however that the episode was really very funny, sure that he had been right in that to have been there would have made it ten times better. The disco started at about seven o'clock, although Lauren and Kirsten were too busy talking to the other children at that time to be interested. They all sat round a single table, about eight or ten of them, chatting and drinking Pepsi, one of the older boys drinking Lowenbrau from a bottle, delighted that he had the opportunity to shown his maturity in front of the beautiful bridesmaids. Lauren was flattered and relieved to be asked to dance by one of the boys, and was more than a little nervous as he self-consciously took her hand and led her to the edge of the dance floor. The gyrated while he watched her skirt twirl, revealing her long legs and the promise of further delights as the music grew faster. Lauren was amused, pleased that she had this effect on the boy, and made every effort to show him what he was surely going to miss. She also noticed that even some of the older people still seated around the floor were watching her as she moved quickly in time with the music. As the evening wore on, she danced with a number of the other boys, never for more than two or three songs, and always thanking them afterwards as she returned to the table to gossip with Kirsten. The lights dimmed as the music slowed, slow romantic numbers taking the place of rock and roll favorites. The lights shone onto the small stage as the DJ announced that AnneMarie and Andre were leaving, and would encouraged everyone to gather in the car park to bid them farewell. AnneMarie caught up with Lauren and looked at her, pleasure and thanks on her face mixed with concern and anxiety. "Look after yourself, and thank you for helping today. You look wonderful, so grown up. Just you be careful, OK?" she said hugging her closely. Lauren looked at her, none the wiser as she led her husband to the car. The guests waved as the married couple took their leave, rumbling sown the road with tin cans jangling from the back and a condom (unused) covering the top of the aerial. Lauren returned indoors to continue the celebrations. Lauren was immediately grabbed by one of the boys that she danced with earlier, whisked onto the floor, and held tightly for a slow dance. Lauren was unsure how to dance to the music, even though she had tried it in front of her parents' bedroom mirror once or twice. But the young boy had even less idea, turning slowly and rocking from side to side as he avoided treading on her toes. What did seem to have a very well-developed idea was his young cock, which even through the layers of clothes was making its point well understood. She smiled as her chin rested on his shoulder, again flattered by this uncontrolled outburst of lust. She thanked him, letting him return to the table as the DJ announced the last dance. Looking around she saw people hurriedly finding their partners, and looked back at the table expectantly. To her surprise, she felt a tap on her shoulder. "May I?" asked an older boy who had danced with her once earlier in the evening. "Mmm, OK". He held her close, confirming that he was not about to bust his trouser zip. She looked up at him, considered his happy face and decided that he was safe. The music carried her into the familiar dream world, her body slowly turning as it had done all evening. The dance floor became packed, young and old joining together as they waltzed lazily and happily around in circles. She rested her head against his chest, pleased with the sense of security and the fact that she had found a boy (or man) at least ten years her senior. They talked, discussed AnneMarie, and discovered how each of them knew her. As the music ended, he offered to give her a lift home which meant a detour of only a couple of kilometers from his own house. She was unsure, saying that she should call her parents as it was late and they expected to have to collect her. "Hey, you'll be home in a couple of minutes, and they'll be pleased that they don't have to make the journey." he said, looking straight at her. "I'm not sure." said Lauren, looking around the room at the people waving good-bye to each other. She knew her parents would be angry if they knew she had gone off with a stranger without telling them, but she felt safe with the boy and it was hardly out of her way. "Oh, OK, but I can't be late of my parents will come looking for me." she said, collecting her little suitcase from the cloakroom attendant. They walked round to the back of the hotel and he opened the door for her. She smiled, thanking him as she sat in the passenger seat. He pushed her suitcase onto the back seat and started the car, driving slowly past the hotel and off down the mountain towards Andleburg. "Didn't your boyfriend get invited today?" he asked as they crawled along even more slowly than her father. "No, I've only just met him and it wouldn't have been right." "Hey, I saw you dancing, you looked so good, especially the rock and roll stuff!" he said enthusiastically as they stopped at the traffic lights. "You've got beautiful legs, you know!" "Thank you" said Lauren, looking at the young boy. He was about twenty- five, Lauren thought, and quite pretty to look at, with curly black hair that had been left to grow over his collar, and a handsome face that pleased her. They drew away from the lights, starting their journey up the other side of the mountain. As they twisted and turned, he pulled into a passing place on the side of the road that doubled as a tourist parking spot in the summer months for those who wanted to admire the view down into the valley. "What are you doing?" asked Lauren quickly. "I thought we could just stop and talk for a couple of minutes" he said as he switched off the engine and turned towards her. He put his hand on her knee, causing her to instinctively pull away and cross her legs. "Hey, there's no need to be worried, I just thought we could have a talk and a bit of a cuddle, that's all." Lauren shifted uncomfortably in her seat, worried about this sudden advance but slightly excited as the evening became a scene from a made-for- television movie. "I must get home, my parents will be worried, please" "Just a little kiss, that's all, Lauren" he said, pulling her close to him. He ran his hand across her chest firmly, squashing her breasts as she gritted her teeth. He took her chin and turned her face towards him, planting a loveless kiss on her tightly-clamped lips. "Lauren, you've got lovely tits, let me see them." "Get lost, take me home you shit!" she shouted, pushing his hands away from her chest. She could smell the drink on his breath, and his warm sweaty hands felt revolting. "Lauren, come on, let's get in the back, we can be very cozy there!" "No, piss off. Just take me home" she shouted, her voice shrill in the silence of the night. "Lauren, I want you, I want to fuck you!" "No! I want to go home, now" she shouted, shrugging him off as she looked for the door handle. He grabbed her hand and pushed his left hand between her legs, not stopping until the palm of his hand was under her bottom and his thumb between her pussy lips. Her heart beat wildly as his fingers found the wet spot on her knickers. Inexpertly, he pulled her knickers aside and jammed his fingers painfully against her sex, missing her vagina. "Take me home, you shit!" she shouted, wriggling so that her elbow caught his left eye. "Ahh!" he shouted, clutching his eye as the dull pain set in. Lauren knew she couldn't walk the two kilometers home and decided that she would either have to press home her advantage or face his rage and increased lust. She lunged over towards the steering wheel and pressed the horn. It blared noisily out into the night until he swept her hand off it. She heard at least two dogs barking in the distance and to her relief saw a light come on as someone parted their curtains in a house to her right. She wound down the window and waited. "Now take me home!" she said, the anger evident still in her voice. "OK, OK, I'm sorry. I just thought you might like to, you know....." "What, you think I roll over every time someone tickles my tummy, like a dog?" "No, I meant, well, ..." he mumbled, starting the car. They rode the rest of the way in silence, Lauren pointing out the directions with her finger on the windscreen rather than utter another word. As they pulled up outside her house, she yanked the suitcase from the back seat and slammed the door, not caring that it probably woke up Rebecca. She stormed up the pathway and entered the house through the backdoor. The light in the kitchen was on, and her mother came out, surprised to see her daughter. "What's wrong? I thought you were going to call?" she asked anxiously. "Yeah, well I got a lift home from some boy at the wedding. He had some ideas on the way home that I didn't like" fumed Lauren. "Lauren, that's why we always say we'll come and get you, so that you don't get into these situations. You're still a very young girl, you know, and you read about such terrible things these days." she said, her anger evident as she looked her up and down. Lauren shrugged, knowing that her mother was right, but not wanting to stay for the rest of the lecture. She heard her father approaching. "What's happened? Are you allright?" "I'm fine. Just got a lift home that maybe wasn't a good idea. Not to worry!" "We do worry, Lori. I really don't mind coming out to get you. You should have telephoned anyway. You promised you would always do that if you were going somewhere we didn't know about, didn't you?" said her father, obviously concerned by her apparent disregard for house rules. "OK, I'm sorry. I'm going to bed." "Lauren, you're such a dreamer, really. You must wake up to the fact that there are some very strange people in this world!" said her mother, her lips pursed as she contained her frustration. "How was the wedding, anyway?" Lauren launched into a long explanation of the day, especially embroidering the Best Man's attempt at speech-making. Her mother fixed her a sandwich and hot milk. Eventually, they all went through to the lounge and watched the end of the late-night movie. Lauren then said good-night and went up to her bedroom, still wearing the dress and jacket, and flopped onto her bed. She had had a good day, but was still concerned about AnneMarie's behaviour and coolness towards her. She thought about Kirsten and the episode in the bedroom, and the feeling of power that had been within her all day. Finally, her thoughts turned to the ride home, and her young imagination played out many of the possible scenarios that could have come from the groping she had in the car. Initially, she worked out several ways to escape, by hitting him, taking the keys and throwing them away. She even thought about falling out of the car as it traveled along the road. The most exciting scenario, though, was where she succumbed to his advances, and he entered her with his long fat cock as she bent over the reclining seat, her feet on the dashboard and her knickers stuffed in her mouth to drown her whimpers. She took off her jacket and skirt to leave just her grey underwear and stockings on as she replayed the scene time and time again. She bent her legs, forming a tent with her bedclothes as first her fingers then her hairbrush found their way between her lips, teasing her senses and reassuring her body that relief was at hand. She pushed the bedclothes away and pulled her legs up against her chest, her right hand still pumping the brush in and out of her moist sex as the boy once again ripped at her clothes and thrust his massive cock into her face. She moaned quietly as her orgasm gathered pace, the boy now hovering over her, his cock bobbing menacingly as it stood poised to thrust into her tunnel. She saw him pull back his foreskin to reveal the enormous purple head, and pushed hard into herself as he entered her roughly, uncaringly and shafted her in a frenzy of uncontrolled lust. She whimpered as her legs ached against her chest, her orgasm now bubbling within her, spilling through her and washing its welcome wetness as she shook in muscular spasms, the boy now masturbating madly and coming over her pussy, her breasts and face. She collapsed over onto her side, the brush still inside her as her legs clamped together and her arms crossed over her chest, holding a breast in each hand. She felt her anus pulsing gently, a warm glow now emanating from between her legs as she snuggled down into her pillow. Several minutes later, she pulled the brush slowly from her pussy and felt the handle's stickiness, pleased that she could taste herself as she licked her fingers. She stood up beside her bed and took off the underwear, annoyed at the need to do so but well aware that her mother would only ask questions if she saw her wearing Christian Dior lingerie in bed. She removed the stockings and stuffed them into her top drawer, returning to bed with her long T-Shirt, gracefully adorned with a picture of a brown teddy bear. Snuggling up into a ball, she pulled the covers to her chin and slept. Until 11am. Chapter 23 Saturday 29th August, 11am Lauren packed her overnight bag slowly, dropping clothing into it haphazardly without thinking much about what she needed for the day. They had decided to go to Interlaken later and take a look around the shops, then return to Nikki's house in the early evening and have tea while watching a film. They had also decided to spend the night at Nikki's to make life easier for them early on Sunday morning to go to Rebecca's wedding. She smiled as she dropped her dressing gown into the old case, remembering the last time she had packed it, and had never found a use for it. She recalled the evening with Jim and Simone, shuddering again as she visualised the camera flashing away as Jim pushed hard inside her. From now on, she resolved, that behaviour was behind her. She slammed the lid closed and made her way downstairs. As she closed the front door and turned towards the road the phone rang, much to her annoyance. Lauren madly scrambled to let herself back into the house, dropping her suitcase in the hallway as she ran into the lounge. "Hello?" It was AnneMarie, who still sounded a little disappointed to speak to Lauren. As they exchanged news, it became clear to Lauren that it was really her father that AnneMarie wanted to speak to, and not herself. "He's out with my mum, they've gone to Grandma's again, but he should be back mid-afternoon. Try around three'ish. Anything I can do?" she asked, ready for the negative answer and the comment that indeed she would ring again as she signed off, saying `see you soon, and take care.' Lauren gathered her things again and slammed the door, thinking it was strange that AnneMarie needed to talk to her father and couldn't tell her what it was about. Concluding that she would find out sooner or later, she whistled for the majority of the four hundred meters to Nikki's house. "Hey, it's me. Where are you?" "In my room, come on up" Lauren climbed the stairs and pushed open the door to her room. Nikki was lying on her bed, watching a film on her television. The room was enormous when compared to Lauren's little place, but then the whole house was much larger, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en- suite with Nikki's parents room. The overall pink effect in the room was complimented by the dark red curtains and matching bed-spread. It looked nice, thought Lauren, but is was all so obviously out of the hotel that she wondered how it would have been decorated if they had been out to normal shops and had to decide themselves. Regardless of the source of the furnishings, Lauren would love to have had a bedroom like Nikki's, and always enjoyed staying at her friend's house. She dumped her suitcase by the door and climbed onto the bed, settling down next to her friend and trying to work out which film she was watching. Nikki smiled at her. Lauren hadn't spent the night at Nikki's house for almost two months and they were both excited at the prospect of a night of gossiping and giggling. There was an unspoken expectation that while they would normally have slept in separate rooms, that night they would find a reason to sleep in Nikki's bedroom, even in the same bed. Their conversation skirted the issue, like the couple who know that the hidden agenda contains something very special. "Hey, are we going to Interlaken, or what?" asked Nikki, rolling onto her back. Lauren looked down into her eyes. "Dunno, what do you want to do?" "I need some stockings for tomorrow. What's this Rebecca like, is she OK?" "Sure, she's a real laugh. She's really into this church thing. I think it'll be fun. You know we have to get there at some god-awful hour?" "No, when?" "Someone's going to collect us at about quarter to eight" said Lauren. "Oh God, you're joking!" "Nope, that's what she said" "It's goddamn Sunday" "Yeah, I didn't know it was such an early start when she asked. We can't let her down now, you know" "No, I know. Come on then, we'd better get moving. You can tell me about the wedding" "Oh yeah" exclaimed Lauren as she realised that she had an enormous amount of news that would keep them both gossiping for days. "You'll never guess what happened to me on the way home last night!" The two girls giggled, and squealed in amazement and excitement as Lauren related her latest escapade to her friend, firstly on the bus to the station and then on the train into town. Nikki thought that Lauren had been very lucky not to have been seriously hurt - her mother had told her of local girls who had been attacked in cars and on lonely roads at earlier times in the evening than Lauren's experience. "My mum says that one girl was raped in broad daylight in a field only a few metres from the road." said Nikki, holding Lauren's arm tightly as she looked around the train carriage. They continued to surmise what could have happened, Lauren confiding in Nikki that she had found the episode quite exciting once she was home safe. Nikki shook her head. "I don't know, it's so risky taking lifts from people, even if they do know your friends. I think you were really lucky that he didn't beat you up!" "Hey, he's a friend of AnneMarie's. He was just a bit drunk!" "Whatever, I don't think I'd like it to happen to me, I'd much rather be in control" "Hmm" said Lauren, turning to the window. There was a lot of sense in what Nikki said, and she was once again surprised that her own view of the situation could be so radically different. "I suppose you're right." She stared at the cars on the highway that ran parallel to the track, passing the train slowly. She had wanted to let Nikki know of her decision to confine her sexual activities to just Jim, but to mention it at that time would have been pointless. "Not to worry, you're OK" They got to Interlaken a few minutes later and spent the next couple of hours shopping for a single pair of stockings. Lauren also bought a pair at the autumn sale price of seven francs. After a coffee and piece of cake, they caught the train back to Andleburg, missing their bus by less than twenty seconds which caused them to wait another half hour. It was therefore half past five when they entered Nikki's house and their feet ached from all the walking and standing around. "When are your folks back?" asked Lauren "Not `till really late, maybe even early tomorrow morning. There's some party on up at the hotel. I'm not invited, of course. Come on, let's make tea!" They ate and watched television in the lounge, deciding at around nine o'clock that the film on RTV was useless and they would be better off with a video upstairs. "Hey, I'll see if my Dad has found any more. Stay there!" Lauren heard her tip-toe upstairs and cross over into her parent's room. She emerged in less than a minute and shouted downstairs to Lauren. "Hey, come on up, I found something!" whispered Nikki. Lauren jumped up the stairs and followed her into her bedroom. Nikki pushed the cassette into her player and turned the television on. They sat on the bed as Nikki fast-forwarded through the credits. Lauren saw the amusement in her face as the first scene appeared. Nikki brushed her short blonde hair away from her face dramatically as two young girls walked through an amusement park. They were both a little older than Lauren and Nikki with healthy breasts and long, bare-skinned legs. Within a couple of minutes, two boys were following them. Lauren lay on the bed alongside Nikki, both girls on the stomachs. "I wonder if your Dad watches this stuff?" "Course he does. What do you think, he gives it to charity?" Lauren laughed, watching the girls flirting with the two boys. The camera-work was poor, as was the colour quality, but there was some storyline which was entertaining at least. The boys had taken them by car to their house which was both large and deserted. To Lauren's disappointment, there was very little kissing and cuddling, and the film shot from a scene of the four of them together on the sofa, laughing and joking, to the next where they were naked in a bedroom. "I think it's nice to see people taking their clothes off. I wonder why they never show it on films?" asked Lauren. "I suppose the people who buy the films just want to see naked girls." "Nik, do you think we're normal. I mean, doing what we've done?" "Yeah, why not? Like I said, there's no harm." "It's just that it feels so good, but nobody seems to talk about it" Lauren looked back at the screen as one of the girls ran her hand up and down a large cock. She thought of Jim and how it had taken such a long time for him to fully enter her. In some ways she thought she preferred her brother's cock, which was a comfortable size. The girl in the film was clearly bored, the look on her face expressionless, her actions automatic beyond belief. The other two now took part in the revelry, and Lauren saw that the second girl was particularly pretty, with shoulder-length dark hair and wonderful breasts. The two boys were pretending to be displeased with her, and told her to lie over the lap of one of them, while the other smacked her. The second girl sat by her feet, holding her legs apart. "Nik?" "Mmm?" "I do love you" Nikki turned to look at her and pulled her face towards her. Her gaze went from her eyes to her mouth as her eyes half closed. She kissed her lips so delicately that Lauren felt suddenly drunk, swaying to one side as she inclined her head and returned the kiss. They entwined their bodies, Lauren resting her head on Nikki's arm as they kissed gently, meaningfully for several minutes. They touched each others face and neck, no more, just reassuring each other that they were there, safe and warm as they listened to each other's breathing. "I love you too, Lori. The film continued, but neither of the girls was watching. When Nikki finally looked round to see what was happening, one of the girls was being spanked by the other. "This is boring. I think I'll have a shower" suggested Nikki. "Want to join me?" "Sure, I love your shower" They stripped in her bedroom, both girls then padding over to the bathroom in their night-wear. The bathroom was also reminiscent of a hotel, with gold fittings and a powerful shower that hung over the bath. The marble floor was grey, but never cold thanks to the under- floor heating that had been provided by the hotel maintenance staff (when they had nothing to do and had some spare parts, of course). "I'm so sleepy, it must be my late night last night." said Lauren, as she climbed into the shower with Nikki. "What time did you get to bed?" "Oh, about one, I suppose" "But you didn't wake up until eleven, there must be something wrong with you!" "I'm a growing girl, that's all" "You certainly are, you're tits are much bigger than last time." said Nikki, looking at Lauren's breasts that had rounded and filled out slightly in the past few weeks. "Like when you had that chewing gum!" "I know, probably because of the attention Jim has given them" "Is he nice - in bed I mean?" "I think so, he's very understanding, and quite a gentleman. There's never a rush" "I thought you said he hurt you?" "He did, but only to start with, then it was fine" They washed, playing with the soap and watching each other as the water played over their young, firm bodies. They touched in the shower increasingly often as they turned and soaped their legs. Eventually, Lauren faced away from Nikki and asked her to wash her back. Naturally, she washed more than her back, her hands roaming all over Lauren until they found her little firm bottom and the valley between her cheeks, which her fingers followed down to her anus. With a liberal amount of soap, she pushed her finger inside her, ignoring the squeals and the stiffening of her muscles as she ensured that the whole area was a clean as possible. Lauren did the same for Nikki, pushing her forward slightly to ensure that her finger went into her anus as far as possible. Her enlarged clitoris was very noticeable as she ran her fingers over her mound, satisfying her that she was both clean and ready. Leaving the shower, they dried and slipped back into their night- clothes. Lauren dried her hair while Nikki watched, sitting on the side of the bath. She could see her friends T-Shirt riding up her thighs every time she moved her arms, exposing her tanned legs and cute rounded bottom. While Nikki went into her room, Lauren went to the toilet, returning to find Nikki in bed, waiting for her with a smile and theatrically imploring her to join her with open arms. Lauren turned the main light off and saw that the television was still on, the video paused as a scene of a man and woman flicked unsteadily across the screen. Lauren slid between the sheets and propped herself up on her arm, peering over her friend in the semi- darkness. "I thought this was crap?" "This bit looks better, let's see" said Nikki. She punched `play' and the scene continued as the man and girl (who were clearly European, early twenties and a handsome couple) started to undress each other in what looked like a conservatory. The man knelt in front of the girl and pulled down her knickers, leaving her stockings and suspenders alone. Her dark pubic hair had been neatly trimmed, and allowed the camera to show her vagina in its glory as he lay her gently over a table. He pulled down his own pants to allow his big cock to spring forth, delighting the girl who strained to look up from her position to see what was about to be rammed into her. "This is more like it!" said Nikki. Lauren moved slightly closer to Nikki, resting her chin first on her shoulder and then on her chest as Nikki responded, putting a arm around Lauren's shoulders. Lauren sighed as she nestled into her friend, cosy and still able to watch the film. "He's quite big!" "Hmm, I hope he takes the rest of her clothes off" He did, ripping her blouse and bra in the process as her big breasts wobbled while he pounded into her. The scene was cut crudely but gave the general idea, and managed to capture him thrusting into her, then withdrawing and coming over her pubic hair and breasts, before plunging back into her for another couple of dozen strokes. He withdrew, leaving the camera to record the dribble of cum as it flowed freely from her depths and onto the table. Lauren's hand had started wandering, encouraged by little moans and encouraging movements by Nikki, who now lay on her back, having given up watching the action. Lauren caressed her breasts through the thick T-Shirt material and moved down to her naked bottom. As she began to run her fingers in lazy circles over her lower stomach, Nikki sat up slightly and looked at her. "Do something for me?" "What?" "Something special that I've always wanted to do" "OK, what is it?" "Come with me" said Nikki, swinging out of bed and heading for her wardrobe. In the dim light of the television, Lauren could see that Nikki was dressing, as though she was going to school. "Where are you going?" "Nowhere, I just want to wear something. Come here and you do the same. Please?" "If you want" Lauren took off her T-Shirt and pulled on Nikki's knickers, bra, tights, a dark grey skirt and clean white blouse. She even put on a school tie to complete the uniform. Nikki looked Lauren up and down, satisfied that she looked as she wished. "Now, that's good, I wanted to see what you were like in my school clothes. Come on, back to bed" "Like this?" "Sure, why not?" For Nikki, and to some extent Lauren, the next twenty minutes were clearly heaven. Nikki writhed on the bed, slowly removing the clothes from her friend as she licked and sucked at her nipples through her blouse, then ran her hand under the cotton material to find her little breasts held tightly by her bra. Undoing the buttons one by one, she kissed her way up from the waistband of the skirt over the exposed flesh and smooth cotton of the little girl's bra. A practiced hand undid the hook and freed her little mounds as the final button allowed Nikki to push the blouse either side and flick her nipples with the end of her tongue. Lauren had never known such a slow, sensuous build up and trembled slightly as her senses registered the loving caresses that were being lavished on her nipples and lips. She felt Nikki's tongue push into her mouth and clasped her head between her hands as the hot breath mingled with her own. Lauren pushed her hips towards the girl, trying to bring attention to her pouting pussy and it's desperate need. But Nikki was not to be interrupted, and continued to lick and kiss her head, treating her ears to the same attention that her mouth had received, the tickling sensation running amok throughout her young body. Lauren undid two buttons on Nikki's blouse and pushed her hand under the material as quickly as possible, taking her right breast and roughly squeezing it in her hand. Nikki bent her right leg in response, a movement which registered in Lauren's mind as her hand followed the path down between her legs and over her sopping tights and knickers. Nikki pulled off Lauren's blouse and bra, and tugged at her tights, stripping her until only her own knickers remained on her friend. Nikki however clearly wanted to keep her clothes on at this time, and made it difficult for Lauren remove anything. Lauren settled for removing Nikki's tights, then rubbing between her legs, discovering that her knickers were so wet that they stuck to her skin. Nikki then straddled Lauren's face, lowering herself until Lauren could probe her knickers with her tongue. It was then that Nikki reached down and pulled the material of her knickers to one side, revealing her pussy and allowing Lauren full access to the multiple folds of skin that made up her delightful inner reaches. The scent of the little girl drove Lauren wild as her tongue collected the juices from within and lapped them up. Nikki moved forward slowly, the hand on her knickers moving back until Lauren's tongue flickered at her anus, transferring the lubrication to the little brown hole. Suddenly, Nikki pulled at the gusset of her knickers, pulling the taught material in between the lips of her vagina, and then slowly exerting so much force that the material gave way, loudly tearing and exposing her completely. Nikki then took her skirt and arranged it around herself such that the whole of Lauren's head disappeared underneath. Nikki reveled in the fact that she was squatting on her big bed, being licked and loved by a girl whose face was buried between her legs. Nikki reached behind, careful not to squash Lauren, and explored Lauren's thighs. She noted that her legs opened as wide as possible, each knee resting on the bed, and decided that it was time to help her over the edge. Turning round, she licked her way from her lips down over her breasts and between her legs, pushing her tongue underneath Lauren's knickers to discover an equally wet pussy waiting for her. She pulled her knickers down to just above her knees, and brought her legs up against her chest, moving off and to the side so that her head was by Lauren's beautiful pussy. Laying alongside her, Nikki continued to pin her legs against her chest while licking firmly between Lauren's legs. Lauren turned so that Nikki lay between her legs, and forced Nikki's legs apart so that they both could satisfy each other. Nikki licked deeper into her vagina as Lauren mimicked her. Nikki then introduced a finger into Lauren's anus that didn't stop until the palm of her hand rested against the cheek of her bottom. Her tongue circled around the fleshy hood of her clitoris, teasing and pushing as she felt Lauren's ministrations becoming less and less fluent, a sure sign that she was having difficulty in concentrating on anything except the mounting tidal wave of pleasure that was looming over the horizon. The anal muscles around her finger contracted, giving Nikki good reason to slowly pull her finger out part way and then push back in again while her tongue found the entrance to her tunnel and entered unopposed. Nikki felt the finger inside her own anus squirming in and out, round and round, as her friend reflected the feelings going on inside her. Nikki recognised the point of no return in Lauren, and found that she too was suddenly caught up in mounting waves of lust and carried with her friend as Lauren screamed in delight, the force of her orgasm evident to Nikki, and enough to cause her too to come, pushing her hips hard against Lauren's face and pulling her closer with her left leg. Despite the scent of each of the girls, the sweat on their foreheads and the slight pungent smell from their anal activities, they both buried themselves between each other's legs and continued to gently administer their loving as orgasms subsided and their involuntary shaking grew less violent. Kisses turned into hugs which in turn became pure touch as they lay there, their limbs entangled on the bed, savouring the aftermath of their statement to each other of unquestionable love. After several minutes, Nikki slipped out of bed and removed her clothes, picking up those on the floor and making sure that they both had their T-shirts for the night. "Do you want to stay here?" asked Nikki, switching off the television. "Mmm, that would be nice, what about your mum, though?" "We'll say we saw a horror film and we were scared" Lauren laughed, realising that Nikki had thought of the answer long ago. "OK, I'll try and remember" she said as she slipped on the T- Shirt. Nikki got in beside her and put her arm round her waist. "Night night" "See you tomorrow. Did you set the alarm?" "Yeah. What a stupid time!" "Sorry" Nikki kissed her on the head and closed her eyes as they wrapped their arms around each other. Chapter 24a Sunday 30th August, 8am The car really did arrive at seven fifty in the morning. Lauren had hoped that it might fail to turn up so that they could say they tried, but go back to bed and enjoy a normal Sunday. Nikki said if it was late she would be really angry as she could have stayed in bed later. They had time for a cup of coffee and some toast before leaving a short message for her parents and gently closing the back door. Rebecca was sitting in the front passenger seat, clearly so pleased to see Lauren again, and equally happy to meet Nikki. They chatted on the way, Rebecca introducing Ariane who was a sort of helper and administrator at the church. "You're going to have an absolutely memorable day, you three." said Ariane, turning briefly to Lauren and Nikki. "The weather is absolutely fine for pictures and there should be a few people in the congregation. Father Paul should be there, at least to start with. I think he has to do some radio program in Zurich later this evening." "Why is it so early?" asked Nikki. "Because we lay on a very special day for you all, and we want you to absolutely make the most of it. You get to do whatever you want before the service. That's about eight hours of fun and games!" she replied, looking in her mirror and ensuring that Rebecca was listening. They wound their way up through the mountain pass to Grindelwalde, then onwards, descending slightly until they reached a collection of buildings that was dominated by a magnificent house and a large barn behind. The chalet-style house had maybe three or four floors, with the same number of large windows on each floor. It's steeply sloping roof gave it an air of superiority and importance as it nestled at the bottom of the steep scree, it's red and white windows contrasting to the ever-popular brown boarded exterior. The barn behind looked relatively modern, with large black double doors and a couple of household style windows either side. The two seemed to be joined by a rough road that led out of the property, all of which was contained within a small fence designed to keep cattle from competing with the singing from the church. "Oh, I expected something with a spire and gravestones!" said Lauren. "No, we're not like that. Has Rebecca explained our creed and foundation?" asked Ariane. "A little. Perhaps we'll hear more today" replied Lauren, sincerely hoping that she would be spared any lengthy introductions. "Absolutely! We'll try. Come on then, we need to go in and go downstairs" "There's a basement that is the sort of hospitality suite. I haven't seen it but I hear it's great!" said Rebecca, leading the way through the door. Ariane opened the door to the basement at the end of the entrance hall and guided them down the stairs. "Right, here we are. If you follow me, I'll just show you around." Lauren gazed in awe as she took stock of the lavish surroundings. The word tasteful sprang to mind as she realised that each room must have cost a small fortune, making even Nikki's house look like the YMCA. The staircase had led into a small reception area that had a coat cupboard, umbrella stand and equipment for journeys outdoors such as blankets, binoculars, maps and a compass. The others had already made their way down the long, central corridor and were in the lounge. Lauren caught up and entered the enormous room through the wooden-paneled double doors. She marveled at the brilliant white sofa and chairs at the far end of the room. She waded through the pale deep-piled yellow carpet as she looked wondrously at the original modern art on the walls. The main light was provided by a large chandelier that hung from the centre of the room, with other uplighting discreetly positioned in the corners. The television and stereo were housed in a wall unit on the right wall, arranged to ensure they were not the focal point of the room. Just as Lauren thought that the rest would be mundane in comparison, she gasped at the luxury of the over-sized king bed in the next room, the silk sheets and the rich wooden wardrobes to her right, and then hesitated to even walk into the mammoth bathroom that must have been twice the size of the lounge in her own home. She smiled at Rebecca as they toured the complex, noting the spare bedroom opposite the bathroom, delighted at the kitchen and even amused at the small toilet as Ariane led them back to the stairs. "So, there we are." she said, opening a drawer and removing a red leather binder. "These are the instructions for today, Rebecca, you've already been through them once. Make sure you do everything required, but above all, have an absolutely wonderful time and enjoy yourselves. Just press this buzzer if you need anything. And I mean it, absolutely anything! See you all at four o'clock, then" She turned and climbed the stairs, gently closing the door on her way out. "Jeeze, what a place!" whispered Nikki, looking up at the ornate ceilings and paintings. "Absolutely!" said Lauren Rebecca and Nikki laughed. "I know, I thought I was going to pee in my pants if she said that word again." said Rebecca. "Perhaps she's just a very energetic woman" suggested Lauren. "I had no idea it was this good. God, it's amazing!" smiled Rebecca. "I'm going to look at the bathroom again, it's like the hockey field!" said Lauren disappearing round the corner. After their initial exploration, the three girls settled down in the lounge on the sofa. Nikki had already turned the television on and found MTV. Rebecca took the leather binder and opened it at the first page. She read to Lauren and Nikki: Welcome to The Residualist Church of Grindelwalde. Today will be your formal acceptance and introduction into the full body of the church. We hope you remember your day for the rest of your life. This little book is designed to ensure that each bride is presented in the customary manner, and that all participants understand the order of the service. Traditionally, you will have eight hours from your arrival today until the start of the service. During that time, nature and your wishes only will determine what you do. You may sleep for eight hours, or you may smash every piece of furniture during the same time. There are no laws or rules. Except the following: Rule 1. You should change out of the clothes that you arrived in as soon as possible, and use any of the clothes in the cupboards, drawers or on the shelves - except the gowns as mentioned below. Rule 2. The bride may not have any hair other than her normal head of hair. Razors are provided. Rule 3. Both brides and bridesmaids should ensure they are completely clean by bathing or showering properly before the ceremony. Rule 3. At five minutes to four, you will be collected for the short ceremony. You (and your bridesmaids if any) should be wearing the gowns provided in the cupboard by the stairs. Remember that you will be joined by a boy of a similar age for the ceremony. He will arrive at this building four o'clock after spending a similar amount of time with his best man (if any), and the rules for him are identical. Above all, have fun and remember your day. Rebecca closed the binder and looked at Lauren. "There's more about the service which we can read later. Pretty simple, eh?" she said. "That means that you have to be shaved!" said Lauren. "Mmm, I knew that. In a way it's much cleaner. We can do that anytime. Oh, sorry, you don't mind, do you?" asked Rebecca, realising that she was being presumptuous. "No, that's OK. Just seems a bit strange, but I suppose you're right." "So, what shall we do, other than check out the `fridge and make some coffee?" asked Nikki. "OK, let's look at the kitchen and then decide" said Rebecca. "Uh uh," said Lauren, pointing at the binder. "First we have to change into different clothes." She jumped up (brightly for Lauren at eight on an a Sunday morning) and opened the cupboard. There were five or six silky gowns hanging over a similar number of sandals. "I bet these are for later. Where's something like a dressing gown?" "Or Versace lingerie, that would do me!" said Rebecca, making her way to the main bedroom. She opened the heavy wooden wardrobe to find just what Lauren had wanted, a number of brand new Dior dressing gowns. "With or without ribbon around the edge?" "With, in white, please" said Lauren, adopting a haughty tone. Rebecca threw it onto the bed, giggling as it scarcely covered the corner of the enormous bedspread. Rebecca and Nikki found their favorites, and the three stripped, Rebecca looking at Nikki's young body with pleasure, while Lauren recalled fondly her exploration of both girls. With dressing gowns on, they explored the rest of the room, and indeed did find silk underwear, stockings, suspenders and bras that they decided to try on later that morning, after their bath. In the spare bedroom, the cupboards contained not clothing but, to their utter surprise, everything that could ever be needed in bed. Rebecca noticed a hot water bottle, an electric blanket, the works of Shakespeare, a book of crosswords and a number of books on sex. There was even some male prolongation cream, Tiger Balm and a strap on phallus that amused them all. If someone had asked, Lauren would have bet her life on the fact that it would be used within the next seven and a half hours. They turned back, and made their way into the kitchen where Nikki took command of the kettle and made coffee. "Now, there's very little we have to do today. Why don't we shave off this hair as soon as possible, so that your skin can have some time to settle down?" said Nikki, looking at Rebecca. "Yeah, then we can try out the Jacuzzi and the shower, watch a few films, and have a long lunch and a little sleep. Then it'll be four." suggested Lauren, almost in one breath. The girls accepted the general proposal, and sipped their coffee, sharing a packet of biscuits that came from the over-stocked cupboards above the cooker as they sat around the breakfast table. "How's your boyfriend, Lauren"? asked Rebecca "How did you know about him?" "Your mum told my mum. She said he was quite clever." "I don't know, I suppose he is" "He also has a big willy" laughed Nikki at her tactless comment. "Hey, you!" "What, really big?" asked Rebecca. "Yeah, it really hurts" said Lauren, looking down. Her heart beat faster as she hoped the conversation would continue about Jim and their experiences. "God, I could do with some right now, but I'm going to have to wait until four o'clock, and then I bet he doesn't go right in!" "So have you seen the boy who's going to do it to you?" asked Lauren. "Maybe, but I won't know who until I see him. So where did you meet him?" she asked, clearly interested in Jim. "In a shop, when I was looking for a dress pattern. He was watching a fashion show, just like me." "That's weird." "She had him in the changing room!" quipped Nikki. "Stupid!" said Lauren, hitting Nikki on the arm. "Come on then, let's get on with it, I'm going to try and work the Jacuzzi." said Rebecca "I'll join you after I've put some music on" said Nikki, clearing away the cups. She opened the freezer and discovered some frozen dinners. She brought them out to defrost, realising that her mother had made her an expert in defrosting. Rebecca wandered out of the kitchen, turning right towards the bathroom. Lauren followed and together they filled the massive Jacuzzi, adding the bath essence provided. They sat on the surrounding steps and watched the bubbles that began to cover the rising surface of the water. Lauren glanced over to the other side of the room at the enormous shower that was simply most of that side of the room enclosed in glass, with gold tap fittings and towel rails near the glass door. She opened the shower door and walked inside, realising that it would be possible to fit most of her class there. She touched the gold fittings, just to confirm they were real, running her fingers along the cool metal of the pipes. Nikki went back into the lounge to turn off the television but paused as she found a row of video cassettes lined up neatly on the wall unit. While she worked out how to operate the music centre, she scanned through the titles. The Sound of Music, The Lion King and Bambi were there, as were a number of films which had either Japanese or Chinese characters in their titles. At the end, after the cartoons, were three more which sounded more interesting, namely Young Savages, Lisa Learns to Love and Swedish Virgins on Vacation. She took the last one, loaded it into the VCR below the television and pressed the `play' button. Someone had forgotten to re-wind it, the picture instantly popping onto the screen, and it took her a fraction of a second to analyse the situation. A steamy scene of a gorgeous young blonde making love to an equally blonde-haired young boy. They were both naked as he plowed into her blonde-haired vagina, her firm breasts wobbling slightly as he stroked relentlessly . The camera panned in to show the lips of her vagina clinging to his shaft as he withdrew and then following his great tool back in as he forced himself on her, pushing her farther up the bed. Nikki was amazed, not so much by the scene but by the clarity of the picture and the almost expert manner in which the film had been made. She had been used to crude, badly lit films that had been obviously copied many times, but this was in pristine condition. Nikki sat on the sofa and watched, oblivious to the activities of the others. Lauren sat down by the Jacuzzi, watching the bubbles with Rebecca. She swung her legs over the edge, testing the water with her foot. "More hot, I think" she said, turning the gold tap, inlaid with a red stone, until she was satisfied that the water was warmer. Her dressing gown was half open at the front, allowing Rebecca to see her young breasts, tempting her with the view of her long legs that were now partially immersed in the water. Nikki bounded into the room, full of the joys of spring. "Boy, have I got a surprise for you two when we've finished!" She stood on the little wall around the tub and looked down into the bubbly water. "Come on, we can get in now while it fills up!" she said, towering over the other two girls. She undid the belt on her dressing gown and threw it with abandon across the room, giggling as she stepped down into the water. Lauren watched her naked form as she descended the steps, then turned to Rebecca, noting that her eyes followed her friend all the way down as the water lapped at her young body. A smile danced on Rebecca's lips as she noticed the distinct shape of Nikki's little pink bud, standing out slightly between her pussy lips. "Hey, you're both beautiful girls, you know that?" said Rebecca, shedding her own gown and slipping into the water. She leaned back against the side of the Jacuzzi, her large breasts bobbing upwards in the water. Lauren now stood, dropped her dressing gown and looked at the other two girls below her. She thought for a minute and started to turn. "I have to go to the toilet, wait a minute" said Lauren, turning towards the door. "Hey, I've got an idea, go into the shower!" said Rebecca. "Nikki, you come as well, this is fun!" she giggled, rising in the water. Bubbly rivulets of water ran from her shoulders and over her breasts as she made her way to the shower, opening the door for the others. She turned the water on as Nikki shut the door, walking underneath the stream when she was confident that the temperature was stable. "Come on, under here with me!" said Rebecca, beaming. "But I want to go to the toilet, not have a shower!" moaned Lauren, now clearly in desperate need. "Do it here, with me" Nikki seemed to understand what Rebecca was proposing and sat down on the floor of the shower, well away from the water flow, and watched her friend slowly walk under the shower. The two naked girls stood in the hot stream, Rebecca with her arms around Lauren's firm bottom, pulling her close against her. "Thanks for coming today, I hope you find it fun." she said, leaning down and gently kissing her forehead. "That's OK. I really need to pee, though." "Just relax and do it, go on" Rebecca pulled at the cheeks of Lauren's bottom as she looked down at the little girls breasts squashed against her own. Their hair was now soaked and matted as their bodies pressed together. Lauren tried hard to relax but found it was so contrary to her thirteen years of domestic education. She glanced over at Nikki who was slumped in the corner, running her hand over her vagina with her eyes closed, one leg bent against the wall, the other straight out over the floor. She could clearly see her enlarged clitoris poking out between her lips, covered with the wisps of blonde pubic hair. As she recalled their previous evening, Lauren realised that she was on the verge of pissing. She turned back to Rebecca and looked into her eyes. The hot liquid gushed from inside her, dribbling down between their bodies as Lauren felt it on her thighs and then over her feet. She felt embarrassed as she looked at Rebecca, grimacing as though she expected a reprimand. "That's it, let it all go" whispered Rebecca as she clutched her bottom even harder. Lauren then felt another stream and realised that it was Rebecca who was also pissing, neither girl caring where it went as the shower washed over their heads. As they finished, Lauren turned back to Nikki, amazed to see that she had parted her pussy lips with her left hand and raised her bottom slightly off the floor. Lauren nudged Rebecca, pointing to her little friend in the corner, just in time to see Nikki shoot out a stream of piss towards them both. Rebecca quickly sat down in the path of the hot jet, allowing it to hit her legs and swollen pussy lips while Lauren gawked open-mouthed under the warm shower. As the stream died away, a grin appeared across Nikki's face as she opened her eyes and looked at Rebecca with her usual wicked expression. "I think I understand what they mean about today" said Nikki, getting to her feet "There are really no rules. You can do whatever you want down here. Nobody will object! That's so good!". "Yeah, you're right. Like they said, you can wreck the place if you want. Just be ready at four o'clock to leave." added Rebecca. "Do you think so? They must mind about something." Lauren had some difficulty believing in a concept of no responsibility and no blame. Her upbringing had been less liberal than the other two girls, and it was a larger leap of faith to give up all her inbred values. "They mind about nothing. And while we're down here, nobody will ever know what we do. Now that's what I call a good time! God, I wish we had some men down here!" said Rebecca, rinsing off under the hot shower. They left the shower running, not caring about the waste of water, and giggled as they returned to the Jacuzzi. Rebecca pressed the recessed button to start the jets and they all slid into the wonderful tub. Lauren and Rebecca had never been in one before, although Nikki had used one at her father's hotel when the honeymoon suite was vacant. It took very little time for Lauren and Rebecca to realise that there was much fun to be had in sitting close to the strong jets of water, ensuring that they were aimed between their legs and just sitting as the sensation built up inside them. "We'd better get on with this shaving" said Rebecca after a few minutes, leaving the tub to look around the washbasin for the razors. She found them tucked away in the medicine cabinet, along with some shaving foam, a clean towel and a flannel. "Now, I'm not sure where we should do this" "Just lie down here" suggested Nikki. "No, why not think of the least likely place, somewhere that would be really messy and stupid normally!" said Lauren, pleased with her suggestion. "Great idea, what about the kitchen table?" asked Nikki "No. I know, the lounge, on the sofa! Sod the mess, let's just do it!" giggled Lauren, already standing. "And no clothes! Leave the dressing gowns here! Come on" said Rebecca, dripping along the carpet after Lauren, past the bedroom and through the big double doors into the lounge. By the time Nikki arrived, Rebecca was already laying back on the sofa at the right- hand end, sliding down so that her bottom was just over the edge. She had her legs together, confident in the knowledge that she would be able to give the two little girls plenty of room to do their work. "Hey you two!" said Nikki, "Watch this!" Nikki took the remote for the TV and video, and eventually pushed the right buttons to start the film and turn on the TV. Immediately, the blonde girl was back on the screen, presenting her bottom to the camera and a waiting boy whose cock jutted out proudly from between his legs. The film appeared to have been shot outdoors, possibly in someone's back garden, the green grass providing a vivid background to the slightly tanned limbs of the two stars. Between her legs was a perfect view of her swollen lips, a hint of pure blonde hair and the sexiest, shapeliest legs. The young boy was more than ready, and took his cock in his hand, rubbing back and forth to expose the great purple bulb from under the foreskin. "Oh wow, what doesn't this place have?" said Lauren. "Please, get rid of this hair now before I go crazy!" pleaded Rebecca, shaking the can of shaving cream, opening her legs more than she realised as she watched the film and absently handed the can to Lauren. Eventually, tearing her eyes away from the screen for less than a second, Lauren took it from her and shook it as well, giggling and clearly enjoying every moment of her bridesmaids duties. She then stood in front of Rebecca, shaking the can for much longer than necessary, while she both hatched a plan and allowed Rebecca to take a good look at her lightly haired pussy and her budding clitoris. When she was ready, she made sure Rebecca's legs were together and pulled her further off the sofa. She then straddled her legs, sitting facing her with her bottom on Rebecca's knees. She raised her hips slightly so that Rebecca again had a perfect view of the deep valley between her pussy lips, and pushed the button on the can, releasing foam into Rebecca's lap. With her legs together, little got as far as her pussy, until Lauren pushed her hand between Rebecca's legs and smoothed the cream further down. As she pulled her hand out, she rubbed her hand between her own legs, soaping herself and touching off the start of the wonderful, sensuous climb to orgasm. Lauren repeatedly pushed her hand between Rebecca's legs, adding more and more foam as the cushions started to get slippery. Rebecca had closed her eyes long ago, content with the feeling of the young girl's hand slipping gently between her legs. Lauren stood and swung off Rebecca, gesturing Nikki to help her keep Rebecca on the sofa while she raised her legs, her knees then touching her ample breasts. Lauren took the can and held it against Rebecca's swollen pussy lips, squeezing the button to release more cream over her clitoris and ensuring that even more landed over her anus. She put the can down, checked that Nikki had hold of her, and pushed her finger straight into her anus, causing Rebecca to open her mouth wide, silently forming unknown words as the shock and pleasure hit her. Lauren made sure that the foam was spread around properly and then indicated to Nikki that she should bring her feet back onto the floor. It was then that Lauren remembered their last encounter, and Rebecca's fantasy that she had enacted with her brother, Stefan. Nikki ran her finger around the older girl's clitoris while Lauren disappeared into the bedroom, it being unclear whether Rebecca knew she had gone or not. However, she was fully aware that she had returned when Lauren pulled her to her feet and guided her over to the coffee table. With a sweep of her arm, Lauren pushed aside the fruit bowl and ornaments, clearing a space for Rebecca to lie down. "God, it's cold!" exclaimed Rebecca, now flat her back, her hair speckled with white foam. Lauren took a pair of stockings and tied her feet to alternate legs of the coffee table spreading her legs wide and ensuring that her bottom was clear of the edge of the table. Lauren was pleased with the result, sure that she could have shaved around her bottom if it had been necessary. She then tied one end of a stocking around her neck and fastened the other end again to the leg of the coffee table by her head. With the greatest of pleasure, Lauren looked along the length of the ginger-haired girl, pleased with the way her breasts lay almost flat against her chest while her nipples poked straight up into the air. She pushed Rebecca's legs far apart, spreading once again the foam over her vagina, making sure everywhere was covered. "Right, here we go. Don't move or we'll pull it tighter!" said Lauren, surprised by the forcefulness of her own voice. Nikki looked at her with raised eyebrows, taking hold of the razor with a smile and placing her left hand on Rebecca's left thigh. Starting at the left hand side of her pubic hair, about two inches from her clitoris, Nikki cut a swathe through the white foam to reveal unblemished pink skin, and one or two freckles. She shaved again, this time moving closer to the spread pussy lips whose shape was just visible through the bubbles. "Oh, please be careful! Are you sure you know what you're doing?" asked Rebecca, straining against the stocking round her neck, trying to see what was happening between her legs. Chapter 24b "Relax, I did this to Lauren, and she survived!" said Nikki, cutting a third time. She wiped the razor on the flannel and continued gently, edging closer to the centre of her sex. Lauren could see more of her inner lips now, and was herself quite wet just watching the multiple folds of skin appear from underneath the foam as Nikki went to work. She thought that in all honesty Nikki was pretty good at shaving. She debated whether to sit behind Nikki and play with her, or go and sit with Rebecca. Deciding that playing with Nikki might result in a slight distraction, she walked round to Rebecca's head and sat down behind her, taking her head in her hands and massaging her neck. Rebecca leaned back as far as she could, her head bent over the edge of the table, and offered her open mouth to Lauren which was quickly filled with Lauren's right breast. Lauren looked at the wonderful sight down from her mouth, over her breasts and then between her legs, watching Nikki shaving carefully, her head bobbing up and down as she guided the razor around Rebecca's most delicate of areas. She had an urge to do something different, irrational, even outrageous, but had no idea what it was. She thought that she could stand over Rebecca and just piss on her. It was something like that but something more outrageous. Her thoughts wandered off quickly onto Kristal and then Jim, her desire to offend and shock disappearing as her man re-entered her dreams. She wondered what he was doing now. It must have been about ten o'clock, she thought and assumed he would be out of bed. He had said he was visiting relatives that morning, so perhaps he was traveling. "There, that's it" said Nikki, wiping between Rebecca's legs very gently with the flannel. "What you should do is run some warm water onto the flannel and wash again, making sure that it doesn't sting. Then Nikki can see if there are any more little hairs to shave off." said Lauren, an authority on the subject. "OK, let me up and I'll go to the bathroom" said Rebecca, again trying to raise hr head. "Better idea. I'll wash you there, won't be a minute" said Nikki, running off. Lauren took Rebecca's head in her hands and kissed her on the lips. It felt strange upside down, but certainly not unpleasant. "I want to look" said Lauren, straddling her head and leaning over so that Rebecca had a close-up view of her pussy as she supported herself on the table. "It looks beautiful, I could eat it!" said Lauren. Nikki returned with the flannel dripping a trail of water. She slopped it onto Rebecca's thighs and proceeded to wipe away the last of the soap, pushing a corner in between her swollen lips to make sure all the soap had gone. She patted her skin with the soft white towel and ensured she was dry all over. "God, I'm so randy!" said Rebecca. "Too bad, you're staying there for a while. We're going to watch the film!" said Nikki. She flicked the volume control up higher so that the moans and groans from the blonde girl filled the room. Rebecca could just see the action by turning her head to the right. When she looked fully to the left, she could see Lauren and Nikki sitting together on the sofa, cuddling. "Oh, come on, that's not fair. You've got to help me!" she wailed. "Shall we help her?" asked Lauren, casually. "Well, I don't know, has she been a good girl?" asked Nikki. "Let's find out if she's a good girl" said Lauren, sliding off the sofa to crouch in front of Rebecca. She opened her legs, allowing Nikki to join her, and they began to lick at her newly-shaved pussy. It was a delight for all three of them. For Rebecca, the effect of two young teenage girls' tongues on her clitoris sent her wild. And for Lauren and Nikki, the squeaky clean smell of the soap with the musky scent of Rebecca was heaven. Their tongues probed, each with it's own ideas, as they fought over her clitoris and battled for the chance to delve deeply into her treasure trove. Realising that they were banging into each other too frequently, Lauren settled underneath the table and licked Rebecca's brown hole, while Nikki continued to lick her vagina, the lips widely-spread and began to explore deeply inside her. Rebecca strained against the stockings that held her limbs, fighting her bonds but relishing the feeling of being captive to the two youngsters. Lauren felt her anus contracting around her tongue, and brought her finger into play, alternating between finger and tongue as she worked with Nikki to bring her to orgasm. Nikki was aware of the bubbling and increased activity inside the girl and probed deeper with her tongue as she rubbed the pink bud with her left hand. She could see Lauren's tongue lapping below her and increased her own actions in time with Lauren. Rebecca started to shake, gently at first as though she was cold, and then almost violently as she milked the sensations, pushing way over the edge and shooting her up into the land of trembling orgasm, leaving her shaking and floating up there while the girls both inserted their fingers into her, ensuring that she was both speechless and incapable of movement for almost a minute. Nikki watched fascinated, then looked down at Lauren with concern on her face. Lauren shuffled out from under the table and looked at Rebecca's face, a picture of happiness and calm as she began to relax. Finally, they heard a breath from inside her, and then an enormous exhalation as she came back to earth. "Did you come?" asked Nikki smiling. "You've got to untie me, please!" cried Rebecca. Lauren loosed off the stockings and Rebecca rolled off the table and onto the floor. She curled up like a young child on the thick yellow carpet and purred contentedly. Nikki sat down on the edge of the table, facing Rebecca while Lauren leaned on her shoulder, giving Nikki the opportunity to run her hand between Lauren's legs and hug her closely. They cuddled for a couple of minutes, watching Rebecca's regular breathing, while their hearts beat faster and faster as Nikki explored between Lauren's legs. "Mmm, let's go back into the Jacuzzi!" said Lauren, pulling Nikki's head against her hip. "Actually, I've got another idea. Let's see if there's any wine in the fridge. Maybe we could have a party in the bathroom!" said Lauren. Nikki squeezed her and released her, letting her hand trail between her legs as Lauren walked away into the kitchen. She opened the fridge, giggling in delight as she spotted the dark green champagne bottle lurking to the left of the lettuce. Lauren undid the foil carefully, not quite sure how to open the bottle in the proper manner, but sensible enough to point the cork in the direction of the door. She walked slowly out of the kitchen as she undid the wire retainer, her excitement bubbling inside as she removed it and started to push the cork slowly out of the bottle. Nikki was still looking down at Rebecca, unaware of her presence, until, of course, the cork shot out of the bottle and ricocheted off the wall. Nikki jumped instantly, turning just in time to see a stream of champagne heading in her direction. It hit her, bouncing off her chest and down onto Rebecca's legs. "Hey, you scared me. Where the hell did you get that?" asked Nikki, dripping wet. "In the fridge, want some more?" giggled Lauren, kneeling beside Rebecca. She looked up at Nikki, watching the drips of wine forming on her nipples, falling onto her stomach below to join those flowing freely between her young breasts. "Yeah, OK, got any glasses?" asked Nikki. "No, just drink from the bottle!" said Lauren, showing her how. As she tipped the bottle back, it spurted out from between her lips, covering her chest and legs. She choked on a mouthful, laughing, determined to soak up the luxury that the underground refuge had to offer. She tipped a little on Rebecca, causing her to flinch as the cold, golden liquid flowed over her hips and out of sight between her thighs, resting no doubt on the exquisite carpet. Rebecca rolled onto her back, her face like the Cheshire Cat, as she smiled languidly at her young friends. She held out her hand to take the bottle, and propped herself up on her elbow to take a long swig. "That's nice. Where are all the dressing gowns? I feel a bit cold, don't you?" asked Rebecca to nobody in particular. "I'll get them, then I want to watch a bit more of the film. I only saw a couple of minutes where the girl was about to get laid by the boy with the big cock!" said Nikki. She walked off towards the bathroom, stopping on the way to get three crystal glasses from the kitchen. When she returned, Lauren and Rebecca were cuddled up on the sofa, watching the young blonde girl kneeling in doggy-style in her garden, parting her pussy lips with her left hand as the boy pressed against her wet tunnel. A thick river of cum flowed from inside her, dripping down her left leg as the boy wiped his rigid cock around her little pink bottom, spreading the sticky liquid in preparation, it seemed, for a second, tighter entrance. "Oh yes, this is amazing!" said Nikki, sitting on the right-hand side of Rebecca, while Lauren sat on her left. The boy probed gently but firmly, pushing further each time as she yielded to his desires. Rebecca felt Nikki squirming against her and pushed her hand underneath her bottom, pulling her closer and bringing her little hole within range of her middle finger. Nikki realised what was on offer and gladly accepted, sitting up slightly and turning further towards Rebecca. "Do you like this?" asked Rebecca, her finger entering less than half an inch into her bottom. "Oh yes, slowly" said Nikki, now leaning on her shoulder so that Rebecca could reach more easily. Lauren watched them, noticing Nikki licking Rebecca's right nipple like a baby as she surrendered to the stiff finger inside her. Lauren took her head and pulled her across Rebecca's lap. Rebecca spread her own legs to support Nikki, and then pushed Nikki's legs apart. Nikki turned towards the television, watching the swollen head of the boy's cock disappear inside the beautiful young blonde. The further he went in it seemed, the more cum squeezed out of her, making Nikki think that more than one person had had the pleasure of the girl's body in the earlier part of the film that they had missed. Rebecca eased Nikki's thighs apart, then pulled her closer to her body. Nikki's head rested gently now on Lauren's lap, as Rebecca parted the firm cheeks of her bottom with her left hand and found her anus with her right. She reached across to the coffee table and took the champagne bottle. Taking a quick gulp, she offered it to Lauren, who did the same, and then let a little dribble from the bottle over Nikki's face and into her mouth. Finally, she sloshed some over her bottom, put the bottle down on the table and spread the liquid over her thighs and pouting pussy lips. Rebecca ran her finger around the little girl's anus in ever-decreasing circles, homing in on the sensitive spot, absolutely sure that Nikki was pleading for penetration as the taught muscular rings contracted every time her finger approached and then relaxed, offering entry. Lauren opened her legs slightly, allowing Nikki an unrestricted view of her little pussy and the swollen clitoris that had received little attention that morning. She pulled her head towards her warm pussy lips, smiling as Nikki's tongue probed as deeply as it could in the position she was in. Lauren watched the film, nudging Rebecca as the young blonde girl lay on a bed, busily removing the clothes of another blonde girl, their breasts touching as she pulled down her tiny white lace knickers to reveal a tuft of lightly-coloured hair. Nikki sensed the interest in the film, principally because Rebecca had stopped exploring her bottom and had her finger lodged halfway inside her tight little passageway. She turned towards the television, watching the two blondes kissing, their hands running over each others breasts as their passion increased. Nikki decided that Rebecca had lost interest in their petting for the moment, and turned onto her side to watch the video, taking a quick swig from the champagne as she settled down across their laps. Lauren took the bottle from Nikki's hand. She shared the remainder of the contents with Rebecca, belching loudly while the two girls giggled at each other. Lauren up-ended the bottle, dripping the very last of the wine over Nikki. She dropped the bottle casually onto the carpet, watching it roll across the floor. "Come on, lick her for God's sake you tart!" shouted Lauren at the television as the two blondes kissed. Rebecca turned to watch Lauren, frowning at her antics and somewhat surprised at her outburst. "Hey, let's get back in the Jacuzzi, I'm getting cold" suggested Rebecca. "I need to do my legs and under my arms. And we can read about the order of service, that should be interesting!" "Yeah, come one, these films are all the same. They just make you want more." said Nikki, getting to her feet. The three naked girls walked out of the lounge and headed for the water. Rebecca led the way with the red leather book, Lauren and Nikki watching her cute bottom twitching as she walked, her rounded features enticing to the two younger girls. Lauren could feel the excitement of the day and the effect of the champagne combining to make little fluttering feelings inside her as she watched Rebecca now bending over the water, turning on the hot tap. While the water splashed into the tub, Rebecca found another new razor and fetched the shaving cream from the lounge. "I can do this myself. You two get into the water and get warm again. Then I've got a treat as my way of saying thank you for being my bridesmaids!" "What is it?" asked Lauren. "Ah ha, you'll just have to wait." replied Rebecca, squeezing foam over her legs. She sat down on the side of the Jacuzzi and ran the razor up each leg, feeling herself after each stroke to ensure that she was doing some good. She didn't bother with foam under her arms, and shaved them with the residue that had collected around the razor head. The whole process took less than two minutes, just enough time for the water to warm up and for Lauren and Nikki to settle down. "OK, wait here. I'll be about five minutes, then I'll be back to amuse you both. Try and wash each other nicely." She pulled on her dressing gown and headed for the bedroom. Lauren slid down into the hot water, allowing it to lap under her chin. "I need to go to the toilet again" she said, looking at Nikki. "Well, just stand on the ledge and aim it over there, just not in here, thank you!" said Nikki. "I know" said Lauren, clambering over the ledge. She lay down on the tiled floor with her legs pulled up against her chest. After ten seconds or so, a small fountain of piss shot from between her legs, falling back onto her stomach and running over the floor. She screwed her eyes up tightly, grinning a little as she imagined what she looked like. "Oh, Lori, you dirty bitch!" shouted Nikki, amused more by the abandon that Lauren was showing after the glasses of champagne. "I love the feeling. It's just so, sort of...free and easy!" "Come back in here and I'll clean you up" "Nik, I really want to get laid. I need Jim now. Inside me. Hard!" "You'll just have to wait. Maybe Rebecca and I can help you out?" "Yeah. I wonder what she's up to?" "Don't know. Get back in." Lauren slid back into the water, pleased with the hot soapy water as it enveloped her body and warmed her. Nikki stood up and began soaping herself down, rubbing her breasts fondly as she played with the nipples. Lauren joined in, standing on the ledge to soap herself completely, then again returning to the water to rinse off. "What about your bottom, then?" asked Nikki "I can't reach." lied Lauren. "Help me?" Lauren lay on her stomach over the ledge of the Jacuzzi so that her bottom was just out of the water. Nikki soaped her fingers and covered the cheeks of Lauren's bottom, edging her hands slowly between her legs as she cleaned her pussy. Parting her legs a little to make sure she left nowhere unwashed, Nikki pushed her middle finger into Lauren's tight anus, making Lauren groan delightedly as she explored the dark passageway. She pulled her finger out, rinsed it in the water, and pushed in again, ensuring each time that there was plenty of soap to grease her entry. Lauren rolled over onto her back, making sure that Nikki remained between her legs. She wrapped her feet around Nikki's back and pulled her nearer, hugging her. "You're so sweet" said Lauren. Nikki pulled Lauren close so that her head rested against her rounded little breasts. They remained in their embrace for several moments until Lauren let go and ushered Nikki to lie on the edge of the Jacuzzi in her place. Lauren then returned the favour, pleased to push her finger into her friends tight cavern as Rebecca had done earlier. She was toying with Nikki's clitoris and pussy lips when they heard the door swing open. Lauren turned to see Rebecca standing in the doorway. She now wore her dressing gown, but had clearly been up to something from the smile on her face. She walked slowly towards the Jacuzzi and mounted the steps. Pausing at the top, she waited until both girls were watching her, then pulled the cord that held her gown together. It fell open to reveal Rebecca dressed in a sexy black bra, with black stockings and suspenders. Where her knickers should have been, there was simply hairless pink skin and the parted lips of her pussy, the classic feminine shape between her legs clearly visible to the girls as they watched below her. Rebecca pulled the robe aside and placed her hands on her hips. "OK, both of you, in the bedroom!" she said sternly. The smiles disappeared from their faces as they looked at each other and climbed out of the tub. "No need for towels, just get onto the bed!" said Rebecca, following them through the door to the bedroom. Lauren and Nikki clambered onto the bed and sat with their backs against the pillows, waiting for the next command. "Spread your legs, both of you!" ordered Rebecca, climbing onto the bed and kneeling in front of the girls. She looked between Lauren's legs, parting her thighs slightly to get a better view. Then she moved to Nikki, doing the same and looking closely at her pouting pussy. "OK, Nikki, you look like you need it most. Lie down and wait for me!" Rebecca retrieved the strap-on dildo from the drawer and knelt again in front of Nikki, buckling up the device flamboyantly as the two younger girls watched, open-mouthed. "OK, Lauren, take this oil and lubricate us both." Lauren poured the Baby Oil over the long dildo and rubbed it carefully, feeling the rugged contours of the shaft between her fingers. She tipped a little over Nikki's vagina, rubbing it generously into her gaping slit. "Lauren, hold her pussy apart and guide me in!" said Rebecca, taking up a position between Nikki's legs. Rebecca eased forward, bringing the tip of the phallus into contact with Nikki's pink lips, causing her to arch her back in anticipation of the inevitable thrust. Lauren moved to the right-hand side of her little friend, bringing her right hand under her leg so that she could use both hands to hold her young pussy wide open for the thick cock that was hovering at her entrance. Rebecca braced herself with her hands either side of Nikki's body, arms straight, and pushed into her, not stopping even when Nikki issued a cry. She continued until their bodies met, Nikki now with seven inches of thick shaft inside her, two more than she had experienced with Mike. A look on disbelief was slowly changed into one of simpering pleasure as Rebecca slowly withdrew. Lauren took her hands away and rested her head just above Nikki's pubic hair, able there to watch her two friends engaged in their pas de deux of eroticism. She inspected the device between Rebecca's legs, noticing how tightly the straps had been fastened, Rebecca's thighs bulging either side of the coarse leather as she powered into her target. Occasionally, she caught a glimpse of Rebecca's pussy lips, the clitoris proudly present, poking between the slippery sex lips that Lauren would willingly have licked again if asked. The black stockings were masterly, an erotic statement of power and seduction that caused butterflies to flutter in her stomach. Nikki raised her legs so that her feet floated above the bed while her hands gripped the bedspread as though she feared falling off. As the strokes continued, her legs wrapped around Rebecca's back until her feet interlocked and held the provider of her approaching orgasm in place. Rebecca's face was hot, beads of perspiration forming on her forehead as she pumped away, her rhythm building in strength and speed as the muscles in her back showed beneath her pale skin. Nikki bucked in time with Rebecca, giving the impression that the two girls were adept lovers, putting on a show for a new recruit. As Nikki's breathing became heavier, so her legs tightened around Rebecca, controlling her movement, until Nikki squeezed with all her might, her leg muscles bulging under the force of the demands made to pull every last inch into her vagina to push her over the edge. She screamed loudly as she pulled Rebecca towards her, grabbing her head and demanding that their lips met in a forceful embrace which lasted less than a second as Nikki threw her arms around Rebecca's neck and pulled her flat against her young body. Rebecca's breasts squashed out of the black bra, moving slowly as Nikki shuddered underneath the redhead, sobbing and jerking as the orgasm continued to course through her like a steam-train. Chapter 24c They remained locked together for several minutes. Lauren sat beside them feeling somewhat on the periphery, thinking though to herself that she fully expected to see blood on the sheets after the penetration of such a little girl by such a massive device. She certainly knew that she would have been unable to take the whole of it, and was surprised that Nikki had reached orgasm, given the probable concerns that she would have had at the beginning. Her thoughts turned back to the encounter she had with her two classmates in the showers just before the end of term, and how surprised she had been to see them engaged in their activity. Indeed, she had found it alarming as well as intriguing, never for a moment realising the wanton pleasure that was waiting to be unleashed. Her naivaity made her smile. In those short summer months, she had explored so much. She had explored so many as well, she thought, grinning widely as she looked down at Nikki's sweat- covered forehead. With the greatest of pleasure, she realised that she would now be able to join that elite class of "those who have done it" and hold meaningful conversations with her peers, rather than listen in silence as others bragged of boys and questionable conquests. Finally, Rebecca raised herself back up, withdrawing slowly so as to make the end of their love-making as pleasant as possible. Nikki sighed and rolled over to face Lauren. She opened her eyes and looked up, smiling slightly through her matted blonde hair. "I can't walk. Ever again!" she said, looking at Lauren. "Hey" she said, turning to Rebecca, "Let me see you before you take that off. I just need to be able to remember it!" Rebecca stood on the bed above her, the big cock wobbling between the stockings and suspenders. Nikki looked up appreciatively. "You look fabulous!" she said, shaking her head slightly. "And you are very sexy. Both of you!" said Rebecca, kneeling again. "Let's have lunch, then a little sleep" suggested Lauren, even though she would have loved to have been entertained in the same manner and knew that the sheer desire that had been building up inside her all morning was unlikely to subside before she had orgasmed. She watched as Rebecca undid the buckles of the device and let it fall to the floor. "We'll call you when it's ready" said Lauren, throwing a dressing gown over Nikki as she left the room. Lauren and Rebecca managed to create a green salad between themselves and found some smoked salmon and other cold meats in the `fridge. Rebecca boiled some wild rice and served the meal on the kitchen table while Lauren dragged Nikki off the bed. Lauren decided that she preferred to watch the remainder of the film, and so all three girls carried their lunches through to the lounge. Using the large coffee table that had previously supported Rebecca , they sat cross- legged on the thick carpet in their dressing gowns and watched the second of the films that had been provided, "Lisa Learns to Love". The film appeared to have been made many years ago, judging by the flared trousers and poor quality colour, but the plot was easy to follow. Lisa appeared to be about twenty-five, an unlikely virgin as she was portrayed in the film. However, she acted very innocently while she baby-sat a teenage boy and his beautiful sister who had long black hair. The boy and girl sat in front of a roaring fire, watching television. The two naughty youngsters whispered to each other as they slowly unfolded their plan. The boy, Damon, relaxed as his sister positioned herself so that the baby-sitter, Lisa, could see up her white skirt when she pulled her leg against her chest. There was clearly nothing erotic on the television, but even so the young girl decided to rub her pussy with the palm of her hand through her white knickers. Lisa was clearly annoyed, and became furious as the boy and girl moved closer to each other, he touching her breasts through her blouse. She helped him undo the buttons, her lacy white bra evident underneath her clothing that held back her ample, tanned breasts. As the boy took off his sister's blouse, her classic full breasts filled the screen, their nipples poking upward, just asking to be licked. Her flat stomach led to a single button that appeared to hold her little skirt in place. The baby-sitter's demeanor mellowed into curiosity as the two youngsters fondled each other, and her eyes bulged (as Lauren's did) when Damon's sister asked him to stand up so that she could relieve him of his tight blue jeans. Beneath his underpants was the familiar bulge of an erect cock, the head pushing rudely out over the top of his underpants. "Oh God, that's amazing! Oh, I really need some now!" shrieked Lauren, staring goggled-eyed at the screen. "Oh, now that is big" said Rebecca, her forkful of food between plate and mouth as the whole of Damon came into view. Nikki just watched and stared, shaking her head slightly, thinking the same in addition to her wishes of having a body like the young girl in the film. The girl sank to the floor without taking her eyes of her brother's big tool, and didn't seem to notice Lisa stripping at her side before sitting down to help Damon with his sister's skirt. The little girl raised her bottom, allowing Lisa to take it off leaving only her tiny white knickers. All the while, she had her eyes on her brother's bulging cock, her mouth now slightly open as the boy played with the foreskin, taking it between his fingers and slowly moving the skin up and down. The little girl suggested that Lisa should watch her, and beckoned her brother to the sofa. She sat on the edge of the seat as Damon stood in front of her. Pushing his hands away, she took his cock, and licked the great bulb with her tongue, slowly introducing it into her mouth so that it pressed against her cheek, creating a moving bulge as she sucked. She used her other hand to investigate his balls, pulling at them as he swelled inside her mouth. Lauren had stopped eating and noticed her hand had found it's way down between her legs. She pulled at the cord of her dressing gown, allowing herself greater access to her hot little pussy. She leaned back against the sofa, still cross-legged, and rubbed her erect clitoris, producing an instant reaction that seem to gather up all the arousal of the morning and put her half-way to her own orgasm already. She closed her eyes, peeking now and again to make sure that she didn't miss any of the more erotic scenes. The baby-sitter laid down on the floor and spread her legs while she directed the young girl to sit beside her. Her brother expertly took his position between the baby-sitter's legs and entered her. His long shaft pumped into her while his sister toyed with Lisa's large breasts. The girl's embraced passionately, Damon's sister leaning over Lisa so that her hair brushed over her nipples. They changed positions so that Lisa sat once again on the sofa with her legs wide apart. Damon sister lapped at her wet pussy as she pushed her hands underneath her bottom cheeks. Damon took her from behind forcefully, the sofa preventing any respite from his onslaught. Lauren saw his cock pounding into the pretty little girl, her inner lips following the cock as it withdrew, the lubrication causing his tool to shine. His sister continued to lick around Lisa's lips as her thumb found it's way into her anus. The additional sensation pushed her over the edge, and she came just as Damon withdrew from his young sister, pumping his seed into her black hair, then over her shoulders, and finally between the cheeks of her bottom. As the spurts subsided he pushed himself back inside, lying on his sisters back and caressing her ears with his tongue. As he rested, Lisa emerged from her position and knelt on the sofa. Damon withdrew and turned his sister over. Lisa took her legs and pulled back to expose her pussy, now dripping with her brother's cum. The camera zoomed in to give a full-screen shot of her pussy and his cock resting just at the entrance. His cock was still half- erect as he scooped up the white fluid and spread it around her anus. He pushed his index finger harshly inside her anus, causing her legs to buck as she prepared her for another invasion. Lisa held tightly to the young girls thighs as Damon positioned himself to dive into her anal passage. Guided by his sister's hand, he slowly penetrated her arse, pausing only once before his balls banged against the cheeks of her bottom. Once again, his movements started slowly, gathering speed as it became easier to penetrate the black hole, until Lisa bucked wildly and almost threw him against the sofa with the power of her orgasm. Lauren had enjoyed seeing them both come, especially watching the white liquid shooting from the end of his massive cock. She considered that there must have been that much inside her on the two occasions when Jim had made love to her. Her thoughts again returned to him, and how much she missed him. She stopped playing with herself, and pulled her dressing gown around her as if she felt a draft. "I'm going to get a little sleep. It's only twelve thirty, so we could sleep `till two and still have time to do your hair and get dressed." said Lauren. They agreed, and made their way to the master bedroom and the king size bed. Rebecca curled up in the middle and Lauren checked the alarm that Nikki had set, turned off the light and snuggled down for some much needed sleep. Chapter 25 Sunday 30th August, 4pm Maurice Gisal had spent the majority of the afternoon in the lounge. He had been having a quick snooze if anyone had asked, although Daniele knew that he would sleep for hours if left alone. When the children were young, a snooze on the sofa was a luxury, and in those days they had rarely needed it. But now with the children older, it still seemed a little naughty, but a quick sleep after lunch certainly had a fortifying effect. He usually read a book for a while until his eyelids grew heavy, and then shut his eyes with the book on his stomach. He was reposed this way when the telephone bell jarred him out of his dream and back to reality. Daniele tried to answer the phone before he awoke, but to no avail. "Hello, Gisal residence" Maurice squinted while his eyes adjusted to the light. He sat up on the sofa, swinging his legs onto the floor. "AnneMarie! How are you. How was the honeymoon?" He exchanged several grunts while he obviously listened to her news, his smile broadening as she told him of the wonderful time they had spent abroad. "Yes, I know, Lauren told us all about it. She said she had a great day, and that you looked so pretty....No, she's out at the moment, can I give her a message?" Maurice stared blankly at the wall as he listened. "To me? Oh OK, what can I do for you?" The smile vanished from his lips. "What's wrong, dear?" asked Daniele. Her husband shook his head, raising his hand to silence her. "Look, I've known you a long time, and you've known her just as long. If this is some kind of joke, I find it in the poorest of taste!" her said sternly, frowning at the carpet. "I'm sorry, I just don't believe that Lauren would do such a thing. This is ridiculous, for Christsakes, she's only thirteen!" His face grew red and his breathing shortened as he listened to the unfolding story. "What is it Maurice, what's happened. Tell me!" shouted Daniele, tugging his arm. "Just a minute!" he said into the phone, covering the mouthpiece. "It's AnneMarie. She says that ... Hey, did you know that she used to live with a woman. I mean, really live with, like husband and wife?" "No, I didn't" "Well, just before her wedding, they had a reunion of some of her past friends, and someone - she says - had some photos of Lauren naked!" "Oh. That's stupid!" she said, smiling as though he had made a joke. "I can't believe it. It's obviously a mistake, Maurice." "Annemarie, where are these photos?" His eyes darted around the room as she responded, his face growing paler now as the facts began to mount and tip the scales from `unlikely' to `plausible'. "Yes, she's been seeing him for a few weeks now. You don't mean...I thought he was too good to be true." He paused again, listening to Annemarie. Daniele tried to get Maurice to let go of the phone so that she could talk. "You say that, but I'm not so sure. He may be a victim but if he's in the pictures, then he's bloody guilty. I'll have the little bastard in court tomorrow." "Maurice, please, let me talk to her!" she said, taking the phone. She listened for several minutes while Maurice fumed quietly, walking up and down the lounge, the look on his face changing every time she spoke as he tried to catch any inference from his wife's questioning that might give him some hope that there had been a terrible mistake. Eventually, after some quiet questions and much nodding, Daniele signed off, her eyes filling with tears. "Well?" asked Maurice. "She's in trouble, I think. Not just these photos, I think there's more. Annemarie said that Kristal was also at this reunion in the hotel, with her new girlfriend, and they stayed the night." Daniele reached for a tissue to dab her eyes. "But Lauren wasn't at this reunion, was she?" "No, but she was discussed. Seems she's been doing some modeling, for money, and it's gone a bit too far" "This is all unbelievable. Our little girl, showing her body off for money. Where the hell did she learn how to do that? Eh? Where is she now?" "She's at Nikki's." "OK, let's take a look in her room and see if there's anything that can prove this story one way or the other." They trudged up the stairs, fearful of what they may find. It had been their biggest fear that one day they would have to do just this, search one of the children's rooms for drugs or evidence, but they had never dreamed that they would be looking for evidence to support Annemarie's theories. Daniele opened the door and started at her bedside cabinet, careful not to disturb the contents too much, just in case this was all an enormous mistake. Maurice searched her desk drawers while Daniele continued with her school bag. Five minutes later, Maurice held up a red book and asked the question they had been dreading. "Where did this come from?" He held a passbook of the Thun Trustee Bank, open at the fifth page showing an account balance of one thousand three hundred francs. "Who gave her all this money? I certainly didn't." He thumbed through the preceding pages until he saw the address. "Hey, look, this is twenty kilometers from here, but it's in her name!" The utter disappointment showed in their faces as he threw it on the bed and continued the search. Daniele opened the top drawer of her four drawer chest, rummaging through the underwear and tights. She found a hairbrush that she hadn't seen before, wrapped in Dior knickers with a bra and chemise that she certainly had never washed for her daughter. Turning her back to her husband, she brought the brush to her nose and inhaled, recognising immediately its purpose. However, the underwear was more sinister, and she tossed the lingerie on the bed. Maurice turned as the clothes flopped down, took a look at the label and walked towards the door. "I'm going to call Nikki's father. He may have some insight into all this" "But, what if he hasn't?" "Well, then I'll just tell Lauren to get home immediately. She's got a lot of explaining to do already as far as I'm concerned!" Maurice Gisal sat down in his chair in the lounge and looked up Nikki's number in their phone book. He stared out of the window as he waited. He asked simply to speak to Lauren. "Oh, any idea when they'll be back?" he asked, twirling the cord of the phone round his fingers as his concern grew. " Left at seven o'clock? You mean this morning? That's very early - especially for Lauren on a Sunday. Where did they go?" He shook his head again. "Look, Andre, I think they may be in some sort of trouble." And with that introduction, he recounted the tale that Annemarie had given him. He glossed over much of the photographic part, saying that maybe both girls had been hanging around with the wrong types. He did mention however, just for added weight, that they had found a bank passbook in Lauren's room showing a large balance. "Andre, can you do the same and let me know if you find anything. I'm going to do some more investigating here.....Yeah, thanks, I'll call you later. I just hope that this is all a big mistake." Maurice turned to his wife and took her hand. "They went out at about seven o'clock this morning. Someone collected them. Jean will be back in about two hours and she knows where they've gone, but Andre's going to take a look at her bedroom and give us a call. You know, I don't like the sound of this." Chapter 26a Lauren waded through her schoolbooks that were lying on her bedroom floor, kicking the algebra textbook through the open window. She gave herself top marks for accuracy and floated into bed, kissing her teddy bears goodnight as the light turned itself off and the passengers pulled away from the train. Jim waved to her from the platform and she smiled. The passengers returned a few moments later, knocking on her bedroom door. She pulled the covers to her chin and grimaced as the banging intensified. She shouted at the door, telling them in no uncertain terms that they were unwelcome, but they insisted that they needed to enter, they needed her furniture. Lauren stormed over to the door and shouted, hopefully loud enough so that the group would realise that they would wake her parents. Swinging back round, she was confronted by a tall, ugly man who had probably come in through the window that she had left open. She cursed herself for being so foolish and lax, and demanded that he left immediately. The man calmly told her that departure was not an option, and began to rifle through her drawers. Lauren strode over to him to push him out of the window. As she approached, her bedroom door opened and the crowd entered, causally and without any rush, and fanned out in her room, inspecting every one of her possessions. They began tucking her property under their arms and leaving the room. Just as soon as she tried to detain one of the thieves, another would slip through the door and into the night. The ugly man leafed through her photos, smiling and admiring some of the shots, while another woman helped herself to her underwear. Lauren gave in and returned to bed to watch the denouement of her bedroom. The ugly man then turned to Lauren and looked down from her head to the bottom of her bed as Lauren shook her head sternly. The man walked over to her bed. Lauren was confident of her security inside her little bed and watched with interest as he reached out towards her, his expressionless eyes moving from her face to her neck in anticipation.. He grabbed the sheet and pulled, rolling it into a ball as he made for the blankets. "This is mine!" she shouted. "It's mine. My bed!" Lauren was mystified by the power of the man. A stranger who could invade her own bed, who had no remorse or conscience. He silently took her blankets, wrapping them up and making them disappear. Lauren cowered in the pale light as he towered over her. "Leave me alone. My parents will be in soon!" The man halted, thought momentarily and then turned to her desk. He found her diary and started reading it. She couldn't get off the bed and struggled to free herself as she heard him reading her life history from the age of ten. She was angry and powerless against his words. Alarm bells rang in her head, suggesting she telephone someone. The bells continued but the man seemed oblivious, transparent, silent. The bell shrilled thoughtlessly in their ears. It was exactly two thirty. Lauren's dream faded as she realised that Rebecca had snuggled up and was cuddling her. She couldn't see over Rebecca, but sensed that Nikki was facing the other way. She nuzzled against the older girl's head as Rebecca rested her head on her shoulder, dozing contentedly. The snooze alarm repeated after nine minutes, still annoyingly intrusive. "Let's roll out of bed and into the Jacuzzi. Then we can wash your hair and get you ready." said Lauren, reaching to the floor for her dressing gown. She pulled it on and picked up another for Nikki as she made her way round to the other side. "Hey, time to wake up!" she said, kissing her cheek. "Hmm, in a minute. Go away!" Lauren giggled and poked her tongue into Nikki's ear. "Oh, don't!" she said, making no effort to stop her. Lauren wandered off to the kitchen and filled the kettle to make coffee. Several minutes later she saw the others pass by on their way to the bathroom, and heard both the sound of the toilet flushing and the Jacuzzi bursting into life. They drank coffee in the Jacuzzi as they worked off the effects of their afternoon sleep. Rebecca sank briefly under the water to wet her hair and re-surfaced, leaning back against the edge of the Jacuzzi and placing her arms out on the ledge to support herself. Lauren stood in front of her on one of the steps inside the tub so that she could look down as she helped wash her hair. Nikki sat behind her, outside the Jacuzzi, watching the enticing shape of both Rebecca's breasts as they bobbed in the water and the wonderful outline of Lauren's sex as the water lapped around her tanned thighs. Lauren administered the shampoo and both girls massaged Rebecca's head, rubbing the soap in while keeping most of it out of her eyes. "That should do. Jump in the shower and rinse off. We're going to stay here and soak!" said Lauren, helping Nikki back into the hot tub. They watched as Rebecca rinsed the soap of from her hair, taking forever in Lauren's mind to make sure it was as clean as possible. She returned and hopped back into the water, but not before giving Lauren a tempting view again between her legs and the hairless lips of her pussy. They fooled around for several more minutes until Rebecca announced that they should be getting out as she led the way, without drying off, back into the bedroom. The three naked girls dripped over the carpet and untidy bed, leaving damp patches wherever they went. Nikki rubbed her hands on the sheets and began the lengthy task of drying Rebecca's hair. She leant back on one of the pillows, and pulled Rebecca back, between her legs, so that she could run her fingers through her hair while using the hairdryer. Lauren made herself busy over in the cupboard by the staircase, selecting three gowns that seemed to be the correct size, and trying each on until she was happy with one for herself and Nikki. She could hear the giggles above the whine of the hairdryer, and was both pleased and annoyed that Nikki and Rebecca seemed to get along so well. She felt that she had a very special relationship with Nikki that she wasn't going to give up very easily, and was slightly miserable about being the only one to have missed out on the attention during the day. Perhaps, she thought, that her mood was the result of her being as randy as hell. She felt that should would have gladly paid money to have the two girls writhing with her, and was determined, somehow, to make sure that that was what happened before too long. She found three pairs of sandals in the bottom of the cupboard and arranged them by the stairs. She wondered what she should wear underneath as she closed the door. There was a terrible temptation to wear some of the lingerie that they had found in the bedroom, but on balance Lauren thought that while this may be a time for celebration, that was not really an excuse for erotic knickers and stockings. Later, maybe. She crept back into the bedroom and watched Rebecca as she enjoyed the attention, Nikki fussing about her as though she was one of her childhood dolls. Rebecca had her elbows on Nikki's knees, her round breasts wobbling as Nikki ran the drier over her neck. Rebecca saw her and motioned her over to the bed, patting the area in front of her legs. Lauren clambered onto the bed and settled down next to her, content to watch until Rebecca put her hand around her neck and pulled her. Their lips met as Rebecca touched her breast with her fingers, so lightly that Lauren barely noticed. "I promise, I'll make it up to you." said Rebecca. The sound of the hairdryer stopped as Nikki squeezed out from behind Rebecca and put her arm around Lauren. She pulled her backwards playfully, so that Lauren lay flat on the bed. "Hey!" said Nikki, kissing her lips upside down, "I promise as well. After Rebecca's ceremony, we'll cover you in strawberries and cream and have you for tea!" "You dirty little girl. Where do you think of these things?" mocked Lauren in a voice like her mother's. "Oh, remind me to tell you both of a time when that sort of happened to me!" giggled Rebecca as she got off the bed. "I've got an idea, when we've finished here, we can get a lift back to my house. My folks are going out tonight. We'll see if there's a film on" "Hey, that's a good idea!" said Lauren, pulling herself up. "Come and try your clothes on, I've put them on the sofa in the reception area." They approved of the robes (although they had little choice), and made sure that their sandals fitted reasonably well. Lauren looked at Rebecca, noticing that her robe, like the others, had six or seven small ribbons down the front which could be tied in a bow to fasten the front of the robe together. The clothing was by no means becoming, and hung shapelessly over her breasts and down past her knees. The only flattering part of it was that her nipples could be clearly distinguished through the silky material. "It's only ten past three, I'm going to stay in my dressing gown" said Nikki, dumping the robe back on the sofa. "Yeah, let's eat, I'm starving" said Lauren, heading naked for the bedroom in search of her own dressing gown. They gathered again in the kitchen and made coffee. Rebecca raided the cupboards for biscuits, and was surprised to find some cream cakes that they had missed in their early morning forage through the room. They ate and drank until about twenty to four, when the mood changed from one of frivolity and laughter to seriousness and concentration. Rebecca took the red leather book again and read through the order of service, acquainting them all with what was expected of them and where they had to stand and what they had to do. "It then says that when the boy and girl are to be joined, the bridesmaid or bridesmaids should loosen the brides clothing to allow entry, and ensure that the boy enters symbolically when ready. The Best Man may assist this process if necessary. The priest and priestess will add additional assistance if required." Rebecca looked and grinned at the girls. "Guess you have to make sure I'm nice and wet!" "God, what if he comes before he gets near you?" asked Nikki. "No idea. Maybe the Best Man should lick it all up and then we could start again!" Lauren and Nikki smiled while Rebecca turned the page. "Then it says that the bridesmaids should ensure that the bride gives the groom sufficient space in which to begin penetration by parting her legs. After penetration and prayers, the bride and groom should stand and face the congregation. After congratulations, they may dress." "Wow, this is a real turn on if you ask me!" said Lauren, imagining the sight of Rebecca being taken by the stranger with everyone else watching. "Here, then it says that I am then considered a full member of the Church and may participate in all other activities and ceremonies" said Rebecca, flipping the book closed. "Hey, did you know you had to do all this?" asked Nikki "Yeah, not all the detail, but I knew about the sex bit. That's OK, I know most of the people, they're fine" said Rebecca as she rose to fill her coffee cup. They chatted for a few more minutes and then made their way to the reception area to dress in their robes. Nikki was amused by her sandals which were guaranteed to fall off during the ceremony due to their size. This provided some amusement as their mood (especially Rebecca's) became more contemplative and appropriate to the occasion. She read through the order of service again and dropped the book on the sofa. Lauren felt a buzz of excitement run through her and looked around once again at the fabulous underground apartment they had enjoyed since the early morning. She felt naked even though she had the robe on and thought it was probably due to the baggy nature of the gown and the way it looked like a tent. It was then that she realised that she had seen some silk belts inside the cupboard and bounded over to retrieve them. Both Nikki and Rebecca were glad to see them, and hurried to thread them through the silk loops at each side before tying them in a bow at the front. "Now, that look better, doesn't it?" said Nikki. "Yeah, now what about the flowers?" asked Lauren "Oh Jeeze, you're right, they're still in the fridge!" cried Rebecca. "I'll get them, just relax" said Nikki as she swept out of the room, returning moments later with three perfect rings of light blue and white orchids for their hair. Nikki removed the first one from the cellophane box and gently placed it on Rebecca's head, adjusting it until it stayed there by itself, and then pinning it with a couple of hair grips for luck. She did the same for Lauren, while Rebecca did hers. They stepped back and decided that they looked beautiful. "Like three virgins, wouldn't you say?" quipped Nikki. "Yep, and just in time, I think I can hear someone coming" said Lauren, looking at the ceiling. Sure enough, the door above opened and Ariane came down the stairs, beaming at the young girls. "Great, so glad that you're ready! Did you enjoy yourself down here? Absolutely wonderful place isn't it?" she said, leading them upstairs. "Er, did you remember everything that you had to do?" she said, turning to Rebecca at the top of the stairs. "Yes, think so. Nice and clean and tidy and all that, you know." "Good, we'll walk slowly over to the hall. Your young man will be here in about five minutes!" They made their way through the house and out into the back. Several cars were now parked there and the sun was low in the sky. Lauren grinned at Rebecca as she walked just behind her with Nikki next to her. She squinted at the brightness of the day, pleased to feel the meager warmth of the sun's rays hitting her face as they followed the flagstone path to the hall. A sudden gust of wind whistled between the buildings, picking up the dry summer dust in it's path. Lauren felt the little vortex swirl around her, leaving traces on her face and bare feet. Through half-closed eyes she could still make out the building across the courtyard, even though most of the detail was hidden in the dust cloud. As it cleared, the building resembled an old barn with two massive black doors at the front, and vertical side walls that joined a high pitched roof of thin black tiles. In traditional Swiss style, the windows were ornately painted in red and white, the flowers surrounding the walls adding a touch of colour and beauty to the otherwise functional building. Ariane turned to Rebecca. "Did anyone tell you? Father Paul has had to go Zurich. Father Michael will be taking the service. He's from Houston, Texas. Seems a very nice man. Sister Winifred is still here though. I'm sure it will be a wonderful service, anyway. Father Michael is quite famous you know!" she said. Rebecca looked annoyed, even a little concerned, but her expression soon returned to one of excitement as she looked around, no doubt trying to get a glimpse of the boy she was to ceremonially marry into the church. Lauren considered it strange that she would not see him beforehand, and found it difficult to comprehend the way Rebecca must have weighed her love of the church against the invasion of privacy. If they really do believe that everything is pre-ordained, and the best solution always is therefore to just relax, then whatever anyone said or did, there was no method of altering the consequences. She was wondering whether Nikki or even Rebecca had these sort of thoughts when the two huge black doors slid open to reveal the interior. Lauren noticed the massive beams up in the roof and the modern lights that hung from the rafters. The rectangular room had obviously been a stables at one point, and retained it's cobbled floor. Directly in the centre of the large room was what Lauren though must be a sort of altar. It was constructed from several rectangular bales of hay piled up in a sort of platform or dais. In the raised middle, white sheets had been draped, probably to protect flesh from the sharp straw. The congregation - Lauren thought there were about ten or twelve only - sat on two pews at right angles to each other, at the near-side of the white altar. Five huge candle- holders stood on the ground around the altar, taller than Lauren, containing thick white candles ready to be lit. Lauren was surprised to see TV screens dotted around the room until she saw a camera that was obviously there to record Rebecca's wedding. The girls, still lead by Ariane, walked between the pews and took up their position at the other side of the altar, finally turning back towards the congregation, and beyond them, the open doors through which her intended would pass in the next few minutes. She looked at the people sitting in the pews, and thought they looked pretty normal people, even though they as well were dressed in similar robes. There was a cross-section of ages, one young girl and a boy who may have been brother and sister sat together in the front row. Otherwise they were all older than her, probably around thirty, Lauren thought. As she took in the spectators, one lady even nodded to her, smiling happily as if to say she looked lovely. Lauren shuffled her feet as she looked around the room, wringing her hands and trying to avoid eye contact with anyone. The barn was certainly old, she thought, realising that some of the wood-work on the walls must have been the remains of the old stalls when horses were stabled in there. Heavy iron rings were visible around the room for tethering horses, and the smell of the animals was still evident amongst the heady smell of oriental incense. Ariane took her place on the left hand pew at the back, just as a man entered, accompanying two young boys. The first boy was slightly taller than Lauren, and reminded her of her brother, with short brown curly hair and brown eyes. Lauren thought that his physique was not as well defined as her brother, but he was no wimp either. He was, however, clearly embarrassed by the huge bulge that pushed out his gown below his belt, and no matter what he did with his hands, he could not hide it. Lauren and Nikki smiled at each other, trying to determine if the Best Man also had a problem. As the groom approached, he looked quickly at Rebecca, smiled nervously, and took his place by her side. The Best Man stood between the bridesmaids, and the five children waited. Lauren noticed that Rebecca was now slightly on edge, fidgeting with her belt and trying to sneak looks at the boy next to her. She even glanced down at his hands to see if his cock had made any progress one way or the other. The congregation had seen it all before, thought Lauren, as they sat in front of her, exchanging the occasional whisper. The man who had led the two boys into the church sat down in the pews, and the chatter ceased as the sound of pan pipes filled the room. Two of the men from the congregation stood and closed the doors, just as a small door creaked opened behind the girls. A tall, middle aged man emerged, accompanied by a lady with long dark hair, wearing a face mask as though she was dressed to go to a masked ball. As they approached, Lauren noted that the man was not God's gift to male modeling, with a gnarled face and poorly cut hair which looked like it could do with a wash. He was dressed in a gown similar to her own, tied at the front and pulled together with a belt around his waist. His sandals flapped as he walked slowly towards them. As he walked he looked down at a large old book and read quietly to himself. The lady walked in step behind him with infinitely more grace and poise. Her long straight hair fell down her back, and the belt of her robe served to accentuate the curves of her body. Without the advantage of seeing her face, Lauren thought she must have been about thirty years old. She carried nothing except a bouquet of flowers, similar to those in the girl's hair. The ugly priest stopped between the girls and the congregation, turning his back on Lauren as he spoke. Lauren looked down at the lady's feet and tried to determine what sort of figure she had from the profile she could see. "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to this wondrous day. We are here to celebrate the joining together of Rebecca and Karl as they enter into the body of the church, freely and willingly, so that they too might continue it's teaching and work throughout the world. Today, we will, by the union of their bodies, confirm our belief that all things are pre-ordained and that fate is our master. We will also confirm our belief that we are helpless in the hands of fate, and therefore abdicate our concern and responsibility over to fate itself." Chapter 26b Lauren glanced at Nikki, pleased to see that there was a smirk on her face as she too listened and wondered what on earth they were doing attending the service. The priest turned to Rebecca, glancing quickly at Lauren and Nikki. His hands had a rugged, outdoor look to them, the nails spilt in places and the backs of his hands covered in thick black hair. Lauren stole a glance at the lady priestess and tried to work out what she must look like without the mask. Her figure was wonderful, and her nipples pushed against the silky robe as her chest rose and fell with her breathing. Lauren looked at her lips and began to form an image of her naked body in her mind, becoming mindful as she did of the stirring deep inside her, reminding her of the attention she needed later that day. The music continued to wander through the room, offering a wonderful air of calm and well-being that caressed Lauren as she tilted her head to one side in sympathy with the melodic phrases. "Rebecca, do you freely and gladly consent to be joined with Karl in the service of marriage into the Residualist church?" said the priest. As he spoke, the priestess walked around them, lighting each candle in turn until all five had good strong flames. "I do" "And Rebecca, do you vow to protect the integrity of the church, to defend it's name, and strive at all times to follow the teachings of the church?" "I do" "Rebecca, please kneel" Rebecca knelt down in front of the priest and stared at the floor. "Rebecca, do you swear to promote the mission of the church, while protecting it's institutions, wherever you may be, and to follow unswervingly in your search for inner peace?" "I swear before the assembled" replied Rebecca. "You may rise. Now Karl, do you freely and gladly consent to be joined with Rebecca in the service of marriage into the Residualist church?" "I do" "And Karl, do you vow to protect the integrity of the church, to defend it's name, and strive at all times to follow the teachings of the church?" "I do" The priest nodded at Karl, who knelt as Rebecca had done in front of the two officials. "Karl, do you swear to promote the mission of the church, while protecting it's institutions, wherever you may be, and to follow unswervingly in your search for inner peace?" "I swear before the assembled" he replied. "You may rise" said the priestess. Lauren looked at her instantly. She looked into the pupils behind the mask. A sense of deja vu swept into her mind, paused to tease her further, and then left. The priestess held out her hand for Rebecca, guiding her back to the altar. Rebecca climbed up one bale, about a foot off the ground, turned and stood on the higher bale that was covered with the white cloth so that she faced the congregation. She held out her hands and beckoned Lauren and Nikki to her sides. Lauren took her position on her right, while Nikki knelt the other side. The priest and priestess stood at her head, also facing the pews. The overhead lights dimmed in the room, leaving only the guttering glow of the candles to provide illumination. "Undo my bows, slowly from the bottom!" whispered Rebecca out of the corner of her mouth. She laid a hand on each of their shoulders as they started with the lowest bow, pulling the material apart as they revealed her legs. The groom and his best man knelt in front of her, giving the congregation (and the two boys) a perfect view as they removed Rebecca's robe. Lauren glanced in the direction of the crowd, pleased to see that they were all watching. The groom had his hands by his side, making no attempt to stop his cock from pushing hard against his robe. As Nikki tugged the second bow, Lauren caught a glimpse of the newly-shaved pussy. Her stomach turned a somersault as the eroticism of the moment grew on her, causing her to pull hard on the third bow. She pulled aside the robe to reveal Rebecca's hairless slit, and had to remind herself that it would have been in poor taste to dive straight between her legs and lick it, even though the little pink bud meant that it would have delighted Rebecca. That could come later, maybe. Lauren helped to undo each bow moving slowly higher up Rebecca's silky robe. She looked over towards the congregation, barely making out their features in the darkness but sensing their anticipation as they stirred in their seats, straining to see what was happening. Lauren pulled at the final bow, letting the two sides of the robe fall open. Rebecca's pale breasts bobbed in the soft light, her nipples standing proudly out, erect and sensitised as she looked down towards the boy in front of her. The best man knelt, going through the same ritual of undoing each bow from the bottom upwards. Lauren was transfixed, her whole body taught in expectation as she awaited the moment of truth. His firm legs appeared from under the robe as the second bow fell loose, the third revealing his upper thighs. The best man pulled the fourth and his cock sprung through between the material. All three girls smiled. He was not enormous, but had an almost classically-shaped cock that looked warm, clean and inviting. It thrust imperiously into the air, as though trying to escape the hairless balls that hung below. It took several moments for Lauren to realise what the difference was between the boy and Jim. She realised that she had never seen a hairless cock, even on a very young boy, and as the best man continued his duties, Lauren saw the blood vessels around the side of the cock bulging a darker blue as it continued to swell. She now felt a continual warming between her own legs, and turned unashamedly to look at Rebecca's pussy, making sure that she too was feeling the effect of the big cock and the inference that relief was at hand. As the boy's robe fell to the ground, Rebecca carefully sat down on the sheet covering the altar and laid back with the girl's assistance. The priestess took her position, kneeling at Rebecca's head while Lauren and Nikki knelt again at Rebecca's side, each taking her thigh and pulling gently to give the boy plenty of room. The priest nodded to the best man, who took the boy's cock in his hand and pulled it towards Rebecca's damp pussy. Lauren and Nikki, under a whispered command from the priestess, ran their hands under Rebecca's thighs and opened her pussy lips. The boy approached, the best man still guiding him until the tip of his cock rested at Rebecca's entrance. Lauren and Nikki had a grandstand view of the proceedings - their heads resting just above Rebecca's pussy - and could see the small drop of cum clinging to the edge of the boy's foreskin. "I call upon those assembled here to witness the union of Rebecca and Karl into the body of the church. For as it pleases the church to receive them this day, let us protect them, educate them in the sure knowledge that they too will become missionaries, spreading the word through the world." Father Michael nodded at the boy. Rebecca breathed in gently in anticipation as her eyes widened. Lauren saw the boy enter less than an inch and then withdraw, the best man's hand halting any further progress. The priest shook his head, indicating greater penetration was required. Lauren was surprised, recalling that Rebecca had mentioned a symbolic joining of their bodies only. The boy leaned forward again without his best man's guidance, pushing deeper into Rebecca. The priestess seemed to expect this detour from the normal service, and watched intently as Karl entered as far as he could and remained deep inside Rebecca. "Come" ordered the Priest, nodding again at Karl, who looked down at Rebecca enquiringly. She nodded, and he pulled back out almost all the way, upsetting his balance on the straw bales. Bracing himself with his hands either side of Rebecca, he pushed back in. Lauren watched as the folds of skin of Rebecca's vagina followed his cock, gripping it as he penetrated her, and escorting his cock on the return stroke. He picked up rhythm as Rebecca opened her legs as wide as she could, their flesh slapping together each time he thrust into her. Lauren saw the glistening rod, now wet and shiny with their juices, pistoning into her, the purple knob gleaming occasionally as he withdrew almost fully to ensure maximum stimulation. Rebecca's eyes were closed tightly, the look of pain and excitement evident even though the priestess caressed her cheek with her fingers, soothing her with whispered words of comfort. Rebecca, forgetting the audience and even her girlfriends, allowed the passion of the moment to embrace her, lifting her legs so that her knees held Karl's body, steadying him and helping him to maintain his rhythm. The best man withdrew from the scene into the darkness while Lauren and Nikki let go of Rebecca's legs, and sat beside her, enthralled at the performance. Rebecca's legs slowly made their way round the boy's back until she crossed her feet, trapping him in between and making sure that there was no chance of him escaping before he had done his duty. She moaned loudly as the force of his entry increased, moving the bales of hay each time. He stopped momentarily to lean even further over her, increasing his angle of attack, and therefore providing an even better view to those in the congregation behind. His thick cock rubbed her clitoris on each stroke as Rebecca gripped his strong arms, pulling him closer to her. She opened her mouth and took his hair in her right hand, pulled him down and kissed him hard on the mouth. Wrapping her arm round his neck, she pulled him closer still so that his head rested on her shoulder. He continued to pound into her as she squeezed her legs with all her might. Her panting reached a fever pitch as she finally let out a scream that filled the whole room. The boy was unshaken, continuing his pumping. Anxiety was etched across his sweaty face as his movement was restricted by her powerful legs, but he persevered, pumping and banging into her until he too realised that he was about to come. Open-mouthed, he looked at her in utter surprise as his rhythm deteriorated into spasmodic thrusts. He slowly regained his timing as he started pushing into her, twitching occasionally as he shot his pent-up lust inside her hot pussy. As he finished, he slumped over her, lying against her chest as beads of sweat dropped from his forehead. Rebecca's head rolled to the side, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Her legs unfolded from Karl's back and her feet eventually rested again on the bales of straw. Rebecca seemed to suddenly remember where she was, and made an attempt to gather her gown around her. "Wait! Don't move yet!" whispered the priestess. "Take note that Rebecca and Karl have entered freely into the union with the church this day" said the priest in a loud voice as the lights came back on. Lauren looked towards the congregation, realising that there wasn't very much that they would have seen, except maybe Rebecca and Karl's bottoms. The music continued to waft through the room as the priest continued. "The great tradition of the Residualist church lives on, the natural law of pre-ordainment and fate once again giving substance to our belief that together, we will continue to grow in strength and wisdom" The priestess helped Karl up, and nodded as a signal that he could withdraw. His cock was semi-erect as he offered his hands to Rebecca, who accepted and joined him standing in front of the bales that made up the altar. They faced the congregation, naked, as a ripple of applause came from the on-lookers. Rebecca and Karl held hands as they stepped over to the front row of seats, and shook hands. They made conversation with a middle-aged couple who were smiling broadly at the youngsters. "You look lovely. You've got a wonderful body, Rebecca" said the woman. "Thanks, and thank-you for coming today" "You're welcome. And look, he's put so much inside you, it's dribbling! That's so lucky, you know! And you, young man, you did very well." she said, taking his cock firmly in her hand. "Oh, you're beautifully sticky!" said the woman in a voice she might have used to compliment them on their choice of wallpaper. They continued to walk amongst the congregation, pausing at each member to exchange pleasantries. The girl at the front of the second section of seats caught her attention and handed Rebecca a small poesy of flowers, delighted to talk to Rebecca who appeared to be about her age. Rebecca also made conversation with the boy next to her who may have been her brother, also about sixteen or seventeen. As Rebecca returned, Lauren saw the little river of cum running down Rebecca's leg, and felt the somersault in her stomach as she was reminded of her own needs. She looked round the side of Rebecca and caught sight of Karl's slick cock, now slightly stronger than when he had withdrawn from Rebecca, presumably from the man-handling he had received during the past ten minutes. Lauren and Nikki exchanged glances, their silent conversation ending in agreement that they both found the proceedings a little strange, but envied Rebecca the attention that she had received. Rebecca and Karl again turned to face the congregation as the priest made his final announcement. "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, I am pleased to say that we will be serving food in a minute, just as soon as Rebecca and Karl have had their photos taken, with the bridesmaids. So if someone can help with the tables, that'll get things going more quickly." He smiled at his flock, and turned to Rebecca and Karl. "And of course, you may now kiss!" They faced each other, as Karl took Rebecca's hands. She looked up into his eyes and opened her mouth as he kissed her on the lips. Everyone in the congregation saw his cock flick into life between them. He pulled her close to his body and kissed her deeply as she pulled his head closer. They embraced for several seconds and then broke off, turning with a smile to the audience. Karl's cock was by now fully recovered, bobbing upright to the delight of the assembled. The best man re- appeared to hand robes to them both, and they both helped Rebecca to dress before looking after themselves. "Thank-you both!" said Rebecca, taking Nikki and Lauren's hands in her own. "That was a lovely ceremony. Now we can have our photo's taken outside, before the light fades away." She led them out through the big doors towards a grassy area where many of the congregation had already assembled. The little crowd parted as the three girls walked towards them. The tripod and camera were already set up, waiting for their arrival. Rebecca put her arms around the girls' waists and hugged them as the camera recorded her big day. Karl and the best man joined them to complete the scene. Rebecca appeared relaxed as she grabbed the boys either side of her, running her hand over the front of Karl's robe in an attempt to bring his cock back to life. "Don't! It'll show!" "I know, I want to remember it." She realised what she was doing as he turned almost sideways to the camera to hide the slight bulge. "Hmm, I want to remember how you felt as you forced yourself between my wet lips, and how you came inside me. You know I'm still dripping, don't you?" she said with a wicked grin. "I'm not listening!" he said, squirming. "Now how about just the bridesmaids on their own, the rest of you stand to one side!" asked the photographer. He was dressed in a formal suit and had clearly been to other ceremonies as he exchanged chit-chat with the priest. Karl and Rebecca shuffled out of the way, leaving Lauren and Nikki to pose against the backdrop of the mountains in the distance. Several more group shots were taken until the light faded away and the little crowd returned to the barn. Food had been laid out along the length of the room. The music continued its melodic chant, instilling a sense of calm and contentment. The candles had been extinguished recently and whips of smoke trailed into the air. Arianne pulled the doors together, muttering about keeping the cold air out. Lauren wandered over the food, helping herself to a plate and loading up cold meat, salad and hot potatoes. She talked to most of the congregation, or more accurately, most of them approached her and asked her what her name was, how old she was, and whether she had enjoyed the ceremony. The priestess seemed to avoid her, but not the priest who approached her directly as she finished her second plate of food (and second glass of Austrian Riesling). "Lauren, isn't it?" he asked. She looked up into his eyes. Her instincts told her that he was an unlikely candidate for the priesthood in his direct, almost accusatory manner. "Yes, I'm actually Rebecca's neighbour" she replied, looking down at her half-empty wine glass. She shuffled her feet. "I know, did you enjoy your morning?" "It was wonderful. There's everything down there!" said Lauren, smiling thankfully. "Has Rebecca told you about our church here and what we do?" "Bits. Not everything." "Well, we prepare people for later life. We believe that there is no such thing as being too young to learn about the world, just as there's no such thing as being to young to teach the world" "Yes, I see" she said, understanding nothing. "I'm glad you do. I think you could teach the world a great deal, Lauren." "Do you? Like what?" She could feel the drink talking, and realised that she was entering into a conversation that she had no interest in pursuing. "You have a youthful manner. You're quick witted. We'd like you to join us!" he said, smiling at her as he sipped his wine. "Oh, I'm not sure. Maybe one day." replied Lauren, looking around the room. "We'd like you to join today. Think about it, Lauren." His smile faded. "I'll have a think. Must find Nikki. See you later." she said, wandering off in Nikki's direction. The two girls chatted for ages, sitting on the bench seats in front of the straw altar. The priestess approached, holding a plate of food in one hand and a drink in the other. Lauren shifted uneasily along the bench to make room for her. "How's it going? Having a good time?" she asked, popping a small sandwich into her mouth. Lauren looked again behind the mask at the pupils of her eyes, feeling again that sense that she knew her from somewhere. The priestess looked up at her and smiled. "Well, we'd better be getting home soon." said Lauren, looking at Nikki. "What time is it?" asked Nikki. "Don't know. Must be about six?" asked Lauren. "Look, why don't you stay?" she said, spraying crumbs over Lauren, and giggling as she brushed them off her robe. "We'd like you to join our little church." "Maybe. But not now. See you around, eh? Come on, Nik, let's find Rebecca!" said Lauren, pulling Nikki up with her. They walked across to Rebecca, who was chatting to two of the congregation. "We think we'd better be going. It's getting late and my parents are sure to be calling by now!" "OK, let me just say good-bye and we'll get a lift back" said Rebecca, looking around the room. "Now, where's Ariane?" Lauren looked at Nikki timidly, frowning occasionally as they exchanged unspoken words. Lauren and Nikki followed Rebecca slowly round the big room as they searched for their lift. "Hey!" bellowed a voice behind her, making her jump. She spun round. The priest strode towards her. "You're not leaving us?" "I'm afraid we have to. It's late!" replied Lauren. "I thought you were going to join our church?" He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her towards him. Lauren noticed the sweaty smell from his robe as the calluses on his hands caught on the silky material. "Not today. We must go" she said, shrugging off his arm as she made for the big black doors. She froze in her tracks as she heard a scream behind her. Turning, she saw Nikki bending down, clutching her ankle. Chapter 27 Mike burst through the door just after four thirty that afternoon, sensing that something was wrong before he was halfway across the kitchen. He poked his head into the lounge, noting that his parents were somber as their conversation ceased. "Mike, do you know where your sister is?" asked Maurice "Er, no. Isn't she with Nikki?" "Not at the moment. They've been gone since early morning" said his mother, Daniele. "What's today?" he asked. "Sunday, August 30th" replied his father. "I think today's the day that Rebecca next door was going to have her church ceremony. Lauren and Nikki were going to be there as well." "What church ceremony?" asked Maurice, a slight look of relief flitting across his face. "I can't remember what the church was called. Seemed a bit whacky to me, a mixture of all sorts of religions" "Mike, I want to ask you something. We think Lauren is in some sort of trouble, and may be hanging around with some nasty people. Do you know if she and Jim have been, you know." asked his mother, looking down at her clenched hands. "What?" "You know, do you think that they have slept together?" His mother spat out the words like rancid milk. "I don't know, how should I?" replied Mike, looking out the window. "Tell us the truth, Mike. This is very important." she said, her voice quivering with emotion. "Honest, I don't know. I know she really likes him. He seems OK to me. What's happened?" "Nothing, we hope." offered his father. "We had a phone call from someone who suggested that she might have done some bad things. I don't want to say anymore, just that we want to talk to her this minute." "Perhaps they've gone to Jim's place. Have you called next door?" asked Mike. Daniele looked at Maurice, silently commanding him. His father nodded his head. "Yes, I'll go and see if anyone's home." The back door slammed and Mike sat down in the vacant chair. "Mike, you really need to tell us if you know anything. There would be more trouble if any of this was true and we found out from somewhere else. Now, do you know if she has slept with him?" asked his mother, sitting on the edge of the sofa. "Mum, I don't know. Really. She's old enough, isn't she?" "No, she's only thirteen!" cried his mother, staring in disbelief at her son's question. "She's only a child!" "Why don't we call Jim and ask him?" "Oh, I couldn't". She stared straight at him, her eyes squinting. The look was enough to confirm that his mother did not believe him. "I'll do it. I'll explain that we're worried and see how he sounds. I don't need to say anymore" said Mike, moving towards the phone. "Wait! Wait until your father returns" said his mother, slumping back in the chair, defeated by the thoughts and scenarios rushing through her mind. She dabbed her eyes with a small white handkerchief, returning it underneath the sleeve of her cardigan. They sat in silence, Mike staring at the blank television screen while his mother stared at the floor. Their heads jerked up when the backdoor creaked open. Maurice entered the room and looked at Mike then Daniele. "I spoke to Claude. Mrs Renzer is out with her ladies, as usual. He says he thinks Rebecca went to this church thing, and thinks that the girls were with her. He also thinks that the church is `in the mountains somewhere' but isn't too sure where. Honestly, the man's a fool. I really have little respect for him. He thinks the church has something to do with Residues, but couldn't be sure. Anyway, he'll leave a note for Mrs Renzer to pop round when she's back from her tea with the ladies." "But he doesn't seem concerned?" "No, but that's probably because he knows nothing!" he growled. "Mike suggested he should call Jim, in case the girls are there." offered Daniele. "I suppose so. Just don't, you know, don't be too blunt. After all, he may be totally innocent." Mike braced himself to get out of the chair when the phone rang. His father picked it up. He listened for several moments before shooing Mike out of the way and slumping into the seat. He covered the mouthpiece of the phone and turned to Daniele. "It's Andre, he's found some sort of video in Nikki's room" Mike looked immediately at his mother, her face drained of colour. He gripped the side of his father's chair for support. "So where did that video come from?" He stared once again at the carpet, frowning. "But how did she get it from the hotel?" Maurice shook his head sadly. "Look, I'm going to call Kristal, she seems to be something to do with all this! I'll speak to you later" Maurice replaced the receiver silently. "What?" asked Daniele. "Andre found a video in Nikki's room - one of several that she has found at his hotel - and played it." Maurice drew in a deep breath and exhaled loudly. "It's quite disgusting. It has teenagers doing allsorts of things and there's scenes of people being whipped. He's very concerned about Nikki, since she's never been out so long without telling them or leaving a note. He's checked with all her friends and nobody has seen them." Daniele shook her head silently as the tears rolled down her cheeks. She left the room and busied herself in the kitchen. Her husband gripped the side of his chair, his anger and concern evident as he pounded his fist on the seat. Chapter 28. "What happened?" asked Lauren, walking back towards Nikki, who crouched by the side of the altar. "I can't move! Someone handcuffed my foot. Look!" Lauren felt her flesh creep as blood surged into her head. Her mouth felt dry as she looked at Nikki, her face a combination of fear and panic as she struggled to free herself, the robe spilling open in an undignified manner to show her little white knickers. The congregation seemed unconcerned about her plight and continued their conversations. Lauren knelt down beside Nikki, pulling at the metal handcuff that secured her foot to the heavy iron rings embedded in the cobbled floor. "Lauren, please join our church" said the priestess behind her. Lauren turned to face her. "Undo her!" commanded Lauren. "Lauren, we want you with us." "No! Never. We want to go home" she replied, trying to slip the handcuff over Nikki's foot to no avail. Lauren stood up and confronted the priestess. "Look, I just want to go. I don't want to join the church!" She looked around for Rebecca as Nikki continued to struggle, clearly losing patience as she sat on the floor with her robe gathered around her waist so she could see her feet. "Please. Is this some sort of joke?" screamed Nikki. Rebecca overheard the commotion and drifted slowly over to the girls. "What's up, Lori?" "Someone put handcuffs on Nikki's foot and she can't get them off!" said Lauren, her voice tinged with fear as she looked at Rebecca and the priestess for reaction. "Come on, let her go. We need to get home" said Rebecca, bending down to help Nikki free her right foot. "It's clear that you, Rebecca, were not really ready to enter the church. It is our wish that Lauren joins our movement, and you will do everything to assist. Is that clear?" said the priestess firmly. "Not tying people up, though!" she replied, consoling Nikki who was shaking slightly from the whole episode. "Rebecca!" shouted the priest, towering above her. "Stand up. Now!" Rebecca rose slowly, still six inches shorter than the priest. "Rebecca, you will obey Sister Winifred" "No, this is crazy!" said Rebecca angrily. "Look at me, Rebecca! Look at me! Remember the ice cold water of mountain streams. The ice cold water, Rebecca, the ice cold water of mountain streams." Rebecca's head moved back slightly, as though a wonderful thought had just struck her, and her eyes drifted away from the priest's face, searching out the void in the middle distance. She swayed slightly as though a breeze had caught her. "Rebecca, we want Lauren to join us, don't we?" asked the priest. "Lauren, join us. Let the church enter you." said Rebecca in a monotonous drawl. "No!" screamed Lauren, looking frantically up from Nikki towards the silent congregation for support. "Help her, someone!" Nobody moved. Lauren's lower lip quivered as feelings of helplessness and panic set in. "Lauren, only you can help her, help both of your friends. Lie down on the altar" said the priestess, taking her arm gently. "Never, get the hell off me you bitch!" shouted Lauren, tears welling up around her eyes. Lauren watched the priest move away and nod to a man in the congregation. Lauren had just turned back to shout at the priestess again when she saw a hand raised out of the corner of her eye. Instinctively, she ducked to avoid the blow which never came. The swish through the air was followed by a loud thwack and a scream that registered surprise, indignity and pain. Lauren wheeled round to see Nikki straining at the iron ring while raising her left hand to fend off a second blow. Lauren couldn't see where the first had hit her, but from the look on her face, Nikki was clearly in pain and very scared. "You shits!" shouted Nikki, on the verge of tears, looking around rapidly in each direction to try and detect where the person who whipped her might be hiding. "Lori, lie down on the altar. Now, for her sake and your own." said Sister Winifred, calmly. "No, this is stupid. Let us both go. Where's Ariane?" asked Lauren. Some of the crowd had taken their places back on the benches, while others gathered around Lauren and Nikki. "Don't worry about her. Lie down and enter the church" said Sister Winifred. "No, I want to go!" A second whoosh through the air was followed by another agonising scream as Nikki curled up into a fetal position, her arms covering her head, her gown obscenely gathered around her waist. The woman with the whip emerged from the knot of onlookers and stood over her prey. Lauren could feel the tears running down her face and stared in astonishment that they should both be crying. She looked at Nikki, curled up defenceless on the floor, noting for the first time a slight tear in her robe just above the waist on her back. She saw Rebecca kneeling in front of a man in the congregation, untying his robe. His thick cock was protruding through the robe, bobbing in front of her, as he ran his hands through her red hair. A third whoosh, and another scream from the floor in front of her. Nikki sobbed loudly, her breaths short and noisy as she used her left hand to rub her back. "Lauren, lie down now. We don't want to hurt either of you. But if you don't obey us, it will become very painful. We have all night, you know!" said the priestess, again in a calm voice, her long dark hair swirling as she turned towards the bales of hay that formed the crude altar. Lauren glimpsed her long shapely legs again through the slit in her robe. "No, please, just let us go. Please!" sobbed Lauren, shaking uncontrollably as she looked at the altar and then back at Nikki, curled up like a frightened animal. The young boy that had been Karl's best man was behind the woman with the whip. She saw the boy's robe bulging in front, his erection helped by the hand of the young girl who had offered Rebecca the flowers. "This is your last chance, Lauren" said the Priest. Nikki shrieked. "No, please, no more!" "Lauren, either lie down and join the church or your friend will suffer the consequences!" he said. "No. Let us go, now! We just want to go home!" she cried, kneeling beside Nikki and holding her close. Their sobbing echoed around the room, without any noticeable effect on the crowd. "Very well, Lauren, get up please!" said the Priest. "No, leave us alone!" said Lauren. She hugged Nikki closer to her, covering her body with her own to protect her from any further attacks. "Very touching. Move away from her, or I'll make sure she's whipped for an hour!" Slowly, Lauren shuffled away. The priest took hold of the whip and stood over Nikki. "Now, you had a chance to spare your friend and you didn't take it. I want you to realise what the consequences are of disobeying our instructions!" He glared at her, raised his hand and brought the whip down across Nikki's thighs. Nikki had started to scream even before the whip hit her. As it bit through the robe into her skin, she moved spastically over the floor, tugging once again at the iron ring in the floor while nursing the stinging skin with her other hand. Lauren made a move towards her. "Don't you even think about it!" he shouted, glaring at Lauren as he stepped back to line up for another stroke. Lauren froze. "If you so much as touch her, I'll whip her twice as hard!" he warned, raising his hand. The stroke hit Nikki again on the thigh, then again on her buttocks. Any area of her body that was exposed was a target. Lauren could only lie on the floor, her fingers in her ears and her eyes tightly shut, blocking out the awful reality of the punishment. She sobbed uncontrollably on the cold stone floor as the regular swish and scream still managed to penetrate her senses, her mind half registering the actuality of the man's grotesque actions while expecting any time to wake up from her worst nightmare. Nikki's reactions to the pain grew less and less dramatic while her crying increased to a wail, punctuated each time with a grunt as the whip found it's mark. "And now the second part of her punishment." said the Priest, throwing the whip to one side. The best man emerged from the group of on- lookers, his cock poking out between the join in his robe. The Priest took Nikki's arms and roughly pulled her so that she lay on her back. He then pulled her left leg up, and with the assistance of another older man in the group, tethered her free ankle to a rope from the beam overhead. They lowered her bottom down to the level of the altar, so that with one foot fixed to the ground, and the other about three feet in the air, her white knickers were exposed to everyone. The priestess returned with what looked like a ceremonial knife in her hand, it's golden scabbard gleaming in the lights. "No, you can't hurt her. Please, I'll do anything!" screamed Lauren, her eyes bulging at the sight of the ornate dagger. "Too late. You should have thought about that. Sit back down!" she shouted. He grinned wickedly as he ran his finger lightly along the blade. Chapter 29 Sunday 30th August, 7pm Mike sat with his parents in the lounge as darkness descended. He face had grown pale since there had been mention of the video at Nikki's house. He and his parents looked thankful for the gathering gloom, concealing their worries, giving each of them a place to hide. His mother broke the silence. "Just because Andre found a video doesn't mean that Lauren has been involved in one. All we think is that she may have had some pictures taken." "What's this about pictures?" asked Mike, looking at his father. "Someone called to say that they had seen pictures of Lauren, posing with no clothes on, some on her own and others with a boy and older girl." "And you think Jim might be the boy?" "Who else?" he said quickly. "I don't know. How do you know it's even Lauren?" "We don't. Perhaps it's all a big misunderstanding. Call Jim, see what you can find out, there's a good boy." Mike took the phone and dragged the cord with him so that he could sit on the stairs with some privacy. He dialed the number and was taken by surprise when the phone was answered after only half a ring. "Hey, this is Mike, Lauren's brother. Is Jim there? Oh, hi Jim. Look we're having a bit of a panic over here. Lauren has been out since last night, and we wondered if she was with you?" He too stared at the floor, shaking his head sadly as he listened to the bad news. "So when did you last see her? A week ago? And when did you last talk to her? OK, that must have been from Nikki's house because she left here yesterday morning." Mike paused, listening to Jim, but staring into space as he rehearsed the question again and again. "Look, Jim, you don't have to answer this, but I really need to know. Have you ever slept with her?" he paused, analysing the reply. "And do you think anyone could have photographed you while you, er...." But Mike never heard the answer. His father stormed out of the lounge and ripped the phone from his hand. "You little shit!" he bellowed, his face almost purple with rage. "I'll have you in court within twenty-four hours!" Mike moved quickly out of range of his father. "Do you know how old she is? Eh? She's thirteen, that's how old! You dirty little bastard." Maurice swung from side to side, almost pulling the phone cord from the wall. Mike shuffled back into the lounge to discover his mother sobbing into her handkerchief. He sat next to her on the sofa and put his arm around her shoulders. She shrugged him off with a simple shake of her head as she brought her hand to her mouth as though she was about to vomit. The litany of abuse continued in the hallway, his father venting his anger and rage at Lauren's helpless boyfriend. He had never heard his father use such language, assuming up until that point that he didn't even know of the existence of most swear words. There was a crash as the receiver was replaced. "He's sorry! Sorry! Jeeze, I'm going to kill that boy, just you watch!" stormed his father, his face still puce from anger. "Did he know anything about the church?" asked Daniele. "Oh, I didn't ask" replied Maurice, closing his eyes as he cursed himself. "Well, you can't ring him up now, can you? Regardless of his crime against Lauren, just think what courage it took to own up to it, Maurice. I bet we'll need him if we're going to sort this thing out. After all, she tells him everything!" "What do you think I should have done then, eh?" asked Maurice angrily. "I don't know, but now we either sit here and wait for Celestine to come home, or we talk to Jim, or we talk to Kristal." "I'll call Kristal, see what she's got to say for herself, the little pervert." Maurice picked up the phone and ran through the personal address book until he found her name. He dialed slowly, closing the book as he waited for someone to answer. "Hello? Hi, this is Maurice Gisal, Lauren's father. We have a problem that I think you might be able to help us with. Can you tell me about the pictures you saw of her at AnneMarie's hen night?" He sat, clutching his stomach with his free hand. "How many?" Uh huh. Do you know who took them? Oh right, just a minute while I get a pen." He waved madly in the air at Daniele. She retrieved a pen and pad of paper from the top of his bookcase in the dining room. "OK, go on. 6, Rue les Hallets, yes, I know the area a bit. Marlene Stern. OK, got that, any phone number? Great, got it. Thanks. Where are the pictures now? Oh OK, bye." He hung up. "So, what's did she say?" asked Daniele. "Says she's wasn't sure who was in the picture. She's never seen Jim, and she didn't actually bring them to the hen night. Some other girl did. Supposedly she works at this address. I'll give it a call." "But there won't be anyone there Sunday night!" "What else? Wait `til the shops open Monday morning?" he snarled. "Hey, we still don't know anything for sure. And you can't go on assuming that everyone on the other end of the phone is a pervert and guilty as sin, you know" replied Daniele. "I'm sorry if it sounds like that. But it's all mounting up. And anyway, that boy said that he'd, you know. He'd actually done it with Lori. The bastard. Just you wait, he'll get ten years for this!" The red glow returned to his face. Mike stared at the floor, his breathing heavy and the palms of his hands sweating. "I'm going to ring this Marlene woman, see what she's got to say for herself!" He picked up the phone and dialed, staring blankly through the window at the street outside at the drizzle outside. "Hi, I'd like to talk to Marlene Stern?" he inquired. He paused, raising his eyebrows slightly. "Oh good, my name's Maurice Gisal, and I hope you can help me. I understand that you're a photographer and may have taken some pictures of my daughter?" He turned to Daniele and nodded. "Sorry? Oh, Lauren" The look of dismay returned as Marlene had obviously confirmed that she had taken some photos of her. "Ask her where she might be right now - forget the photos!" hissed Daniele. "Is she there with you now?" he asked. "Any ideas, we think she may be in some trouble" He sat down once again as Marlene launched into a lengthy explanation. He wrote quickly, taking down details as she spoke. Daniele and Mike gathered around, watching as he wrote on the paper. "And Simone is something to do with this church, is she?" he asked, circling a couple of words on the page. "Really? Where would they be meeting tonight - we really need to find them quickly?" He listened for almost a minute without writing, shaking his head now and again as he gripped the pen tighter and tighter. "OK, thanks, yes, I may ring back later. No, thanks, you've been very helpful. Yes, of course we will, thanks!" He replaced the receiver and looked at the paper. "Someone called Simone seems to be the head of the church around here and they have a priest visiting from America." "What's wrong with that?" asked Mike, happy that the subject had been changed. "Probably nothing. But she said that Simone used to be in films, but didn't like the material that she was put forward for so she quit." He looked up, knowing that he had their attention. "They have a place up in the mountains, Marlene didn't know quite where, but it's very secretive." "But does she think there's any danger?" "Yes, she does. She says that Simone loves violence, loves young girls and is a fanatic about her church." "What church is this then? Surely not the same as Rebecca's?" asked Daniele. "Almost certainly. I'm going to call up the department's computer and take a look at what we have on them. Maybe we can get an address." Maurice went into the dining room and powered up his PC. He logged into his account and selected menu items until he was able to conduct a search on the church. He printed out a few details and scanned through the pages. "Well, anything?" asked Daniele. "No, not much. I'll try a few other things" After about twenty minutes, Daniele joined him, putting her hand on his shoulder as he typed. "That woman sounded quite helpful, right?" "Yes, she was. She was quite concerned. Seems like she had heard about Nikki and Jim. She asked that if we would call her once we found Lauren and let her know she was safe." "We should ask Andre if he wants to come round here. It'll be easier to plan that way." she suggested. "Good idea. Just let me finish this and I'll log off and call him." He stared at the screen for a while, and then fetched his original printout, comparing the two. "That's weird, there's more there this time!" he said. "Perhaps someone's typing the stuff in now?" suggested Mike. "It's unlikely, but possible I suppose. I'll log off!" He cut the line and called the department, waiting impatiently for his call to be answered. "Hello, who's this? Oh, look, I need to know who is entering data into our database at the moment. Can you put me through to the computer centre?" He raised his eyes to the ceiling in disgust. "Look, it's important! What, oh, Maurice Gisal, I work on the 3rd floor in Special Investigations." He paused as the security guard repeated his name. "What, oh, ZU03858. Yes, that's right. OK, thanks!" He waited again as the phone rang continuously. A loud clunk was followed by a man's voice. "Hi, this is Maurice Gisal, I work in Special Investigations. I need to know who's entering data into a database. It's the background log database for our group. Yes, thanks, I'll hold." Maurice gave his password, and to his annoyance, his user name twice before the operator believed that he was an employee. They exchanged few words while the operator did his job. "Ah ha, but where is the typing coming from, is it outside or inside the building? Inside? Brilliant, can you tell me their extention number?" For the first time in hours, Maurice smiled as his luck changed. "Yes, put me through, and thanks!" The phone was answered almost immediately and Maurice established his identity. "I see that you've been typing in background information about The Residualists. Have you got anything up to date?" He wrote furiously, scrawling over the already full page with various notes. He established that there was not just one mountain retreat, but two. The first was near Lauterbrunnen, about forty minutes away by car, while the second was near Lausanne, almost an hour away, with at least an hour between the two. "What about background on the main players?" asked Maurice, pausing again before scribbling again. "Look, I'm really grateful, thanks again!" He hung up and turned to Daniele and Mike. "Well, we've got a choice of two places, but they're hours apart." "So why don't we visit them both?" asked Mike. "Well, we could..." The phone rang. He picked it up almost instantly. "Andre, what news?" His eyes closed as his head swayed from side to side. "Oh Christ, no. Andre, Daniele thinks you should come round here. Tell Jean where you are and she can join us later. We're think we're going to have to go after them, and what you say added to Marlene's comments, I think we'd better hurry!" He rang off, looking back towards Daniele. "Now what? What did he say?" "He ran through the remainder of the film. After this whipping and stuff, it looks like the main character, a young girl, gets stabbed to death. He says it looks very real" Daniele brought her hand to her mouth and staggered to her feet. She ran from the room making retching noises as she mounted the stairs. Chapter 30 The priestess offered the heavy golden dagger to Lauren. She took the jeweled handle, aware of the weight of the knife as she turned it over in her hand. "Cut her knickers off, Lauren." said the Priest. " If you don't, I'll blindfold someone else and they will do it!" Nikki whimpered. Lauren rose to her knees, her legs barely supporting her as she sobbed, shaking her head as if to clear her head of the bad dream. The congregation watched as she crawled slowly towards Nikki. She looked at her young friend cowering on the bale of straw, her right leg bent uncomfortably due to the handcuffs. Her hair was plastered over her face, stuck in places from cold sweat. Lauren knelt between her legs as the chatter in the room ceased. She inserted the tip of the knife underneath the elastic of the gusset and turned the knife gently, amazed at how easily it cut through the material. It left a jagged line in the cloth between which Nikki's dark pubic hair was plainly visible. Lauren looked up at the Priest with a request for mercy across her face that was roundly ignored. Instead, he leaned down and picked up the whip, readying himself for another strike. Lauren cut again, taking care not to knick her soft flesh. Only hours before, Lauren realised she had inserted her wet tongue into the same place. Now it was a razor sharp knife. She sobbed as she sliced the other side of the material, and the whole area was exposed to everyone's gaze. "Give me the knife!" commanded the Priest. He walked around to Nikki's face, and squatted in front of her. "Now, you'd better perform." He ran the tip of the knife gently across her cheek, down over her breasts and along her legs. Nikki shook, her tears flowing freely as he ran the knife over her anus and between her tightly closed pussy lips. The Priest stood, and nodded at the best man who positioned himself between Nikki's legs. He was joined by the other young girl, who held a small tube which she squeezed against her hand. She administered the jelly-like substance to Nikki's vagina and anus, concentrating on her little round bottom hole, pushing the lubricant inside with her fingers. Nikki squirmed at her touch, realising what was about to happen, petrified that while she had experienced a finger inside her rectum, she had never felt anything the size of a boy's cock. Once the girl had finished her duty, she slid around to Nikki's head and held her face in her hands, pushing her damp hair out of her eyes and caressing her cheek. "There, don't worry. After the first few you won't feel anything!" Nikki screamed until her voice gave way to a croak. The girl undid her own robe, letting the assembled crowd see her young breasts and the pert nipples, offering one of them to Nikki's quivering mouth. The boy approached Nikki and gripped her raised leg for support with his left hand as he guided his cock to her jelly-covered anus. He rested the tip of his cock against her briefly, nudging against the resistance. The girl held Nikki close to her chest as the whimpering grew stronger, more critical, more desperate. "I'll join! Now! Just please, don't do it! Please!" cried Lauren "Too late. This is her punishment for your disobedience. It hasn't finished yet, stupid girl." Turning the best man, the Priest nodded. "Do it now, quickly!" he ordered. The young boy made one trial attempt to enter her, noted that he had entered almost an inch, and withdrew. As Nikki's muffled screams grew louder, he plunged in, burying his cock inside the thirteen year-old girl so that his balls banged against the cheeks of her bottom. Nikki's head jerked backwards in the girl's hands, her open mouth making no sound, her eyes screwed tightly shut. The boy picked up speed, but seemed to care little for the pleasure that he found from penetrating her anus. Lauren watched in horror as Nikki's screams returned, muffled by the young girls' breasts, and then died away to be replaced by the occasional grunts. The smell of faeces pervaded the room as he pumped back and forth, causing Lauren to retch painfully. She looked around the room, noting that a number of the men watching the punishment had erections, some of which were being sustained by women. The priestess moved around behind the boy and knelt on the floor, watching his cock plunge into Nikki's anus. She inserted her index finger into her mouth and licked it carefully, withdrew it and searched out the boy's own anus. With a practiced hand, she pushed firmly inside him, matching his rhythm and gripping his left leg with her hand. The new found stimulation caused him to increase his rate of thrusting until he quivered and came. Lauren saw the tell-tale sign of cum spewing out with every stroke of his dark red cock. She forced herself to look at Nikki, and saw a mixture of pain and embarrassment as her tears ran down the young girl's breast and her sobbing continued unabated. As the young boy withdrew, the priestess rose and looked over to Lauren. "Now, lie down on the altar and prepare to enter the church" "And if you don't do as we say, your friend here will suffer once again. But the next time, she may well loose consciousness!" shouted the Priest. Lauren looked at him with utter dismay, the tears in her eyes distorting his appearance as she shuffled towards the altar. She felt her sphincter loosen as the fear inside her mounted. The straw crackled under her feet as she slowly wandered towards the bales. Turing round to face the congregation, she shakily sat down on the upper bale and looked up at the priestess with pleading eyes. "Please..." she whimpered, her eyes darting around the room as she fidgeted with her hands in her lap. "Lauren, I want you to lay back and enjoy the rest of the evening" she said, helping her to lie down on the bale of straw. Rough hands took her feet and held her tightly as she struggled half-heartedly. Lauren was now fully convinced that the people in the barn meant business, and would not worry about inflicting any degree of pain on either Nikki or herself. She felt ropes or something similar being tied to her ankles, and her legs rose in the air as two men either side of her pulled down on ropes that were thrown over the beams. "No, no please, please don't tie me up. I'll do whatever you want" she screamed. "This is what we want, Lauren." replied the priestess. Although her legs were by no means vertical, her feet were separated by about a meter, and while the robe covered her breasts and stomach, it fell away over her thighs. Lauren was therefore pretty sure that everyone had a good view of her tight white knickers. "Now, Lauren, I'm going to show a film, and while everyone is watching, you'll be shaved in preparation for your big moment." Lauren looked around, noticing once again the TV sets that were stationed around the room. The congregation returned to their places on the benches in front of her. She noticed Nikki pulling herself slowly up to her side. She smiled weakly at her, feeling better now that Nikki could see that she was suffering as well. Nikki looked ill, with red eyes that bore witness to her ordeal, and skin that had all the marks of an uncontrolled beating. Bruises mingled with the red lacerations across her back. Lauren was unable to tell for certain whether there was any sign of blood, but some of the wounds certainly looked like they would open up into serious injuries during any further assault. Snow burst across the TV screen and meaningless noise hissed from the speakers. The conversation in the barn subsided as people turned to the screens for the next round of entertainment. Lauren saw a scene resembling a shop, taken by what must have been a concealed camera. Lauren thought it was vaguely familiar, although there was no label or advertisement for any product line to be seen. The picture remained the same for almost a minute, the curiosity of the crowd rising and then beginning to fall as people started talking once again. Footsteps could then be heard, and a white door opened at the far end of the shop. Lauren's mouth dried instantly as her heart rate leapt. It was though she had been struck in the face with the worlds largest hammer. Her mind screamed at her as she saw a young girl skipping through the door, wearing a pale blue summer dress. The young girl kicked off her sandals and then unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the floor, exposing her young breasts. Lauren tried in vain to understand where she could have been photographed. The misery and anger welled up inside her as she felt ultimately betrayed. And then it came to her, as she watched herself selecting a white blouse and a skirt. It had been one of the visits to Marlene's house. Simone had done her makeup. It was then that she wailed for the first time, as the realisation hit her that in all probability, her knicker shots, and maybe even worse, those with her and Jim, would be on the tape. Her thoughts turned to their second visit, and their love making with Simone. She screamed. "Please, this is wrong. Please turn it off" she sobbed. "No, my sweet, this is you, for everyone to see. You'll have no secrets from the church!" said the Priestess. Lauren stared at the mask, peering into the dark holes that were her eyes. Again, she tried to piece together the fleeting thoughts and samples of recollection that her mind offered up. And somehow, this time, a full picture emerged. "Oh no! No! Simone! Oh God, how could you?" "Shh, my little pretty!" whispered Simone. She motioned to Rebecca to join her. The red- headed girl dragged herself across to Lauren's feet, twitching occasionally as though another force was pulling in the opposite direction. Lauren noticed that something was running down her face and neck and that her hair was a mess of tangles, stuck together in places to her face. Her movements were slow, lethargic in comparison to the bubbly girl who had been with them that morning in the Jacuzzi. The contrast again reminded Lauren of the danger they were all in, and turning back to the screen, she saw herself sitting sweetly on the big white chair, showing a hint of her knickers to the camera underneath the white fairy-tale dress. Her senses returned to the present as the two girls knelt between Lauren's legs as one of the men in the congregation placed a hand just above her forehead. There was no pressure at all, but it restricted her movements such that she could barely see above her knees without straining. She collapsed back to rest her head on the straw bale, aware of the girls moving between her legs, their hair brushing her inner thighs as their tongues traced their route towards her damp knickers. She knew somehow that Rebecca was on her right, and sensed that Simone was offering her encouragement, almost goading her into following her lead. She felt them tugging at her knickers and decided that resistance was useless as she raised her bottom off the straw bale, feeling soft hands over her vagina and the cheeks of her bottom as her knickers came into view. She saw Simone wielding the ceremonial knife, cutting deftly away at the material and letting the remains drop to the floor. Lauren's full concentration was on the knife. She had been relieved to see it taken away after she had used it on Nikki's underwear, but she had lost track of it this time, fueling her imagination and terror over it being used for a more deadly purpose than cutting her clothes. "Oh, yes!" said Simone in a seductive voice. "Just look at you two! I've watched this bit so many times. In fact, a lot people have seen you in action many times. You're so young. So fresh!" Lauren turned back to the screen to see Jim resting between her legs as they kissed gently. Lauren watched incredulously, unable to understand how she could have been so stupid to believe that there was nobody there. And as her anguish mounted, it dawned on her that there was a possibility that Jim had been part of the plan to film the scenes. Her mind raced, exploring events, traveling along dark roads that she wished had never existed as she weighed facts, ideas and thoughts to arrive at no conclusion except that there was indeed a chance that he had tricked her. Her tears welled up and flowed freely again from her eyes as she realised that she was on her own. Even though Rebecca had asked her to come along, there was an awful sense that all of the evening was pre-ordained, guaranteed to happen and planned such that fate would have no hand in the outcome. A tongue lapped against the lips of her vagina, causing her to shudder. She was unsure whether she was aroused or not, but she had a distinct impression that with the scene of Jim pulling the side of her knickers away to reveal her wetness, she could feel the tongue pushing into her with ease. She heard someone arrive, and looked up to see a can of shaving foam and a pack of razors. "Lauren, I'm going to get rid of this hair for you. Just stay still and everything will be fine." said Simone, shaking the can. She felt the cold soap being spread over her vagina and knew for certain that she was very aroused. She turned to see Jim's cock spring out as she pulled down his underpants. Suddenly, the film went into slow motion, and she saw him slowly approaching her. She realised that there must have been several cameras trained on them as the film alternated between a number of close-ups from different angles. The first sweep of the razor went over the top of her vagina. She felt it tugging at some of the hairs on it's way as Simone's hand brushed against her swollen clitoris. She looked over to see Jim's huge cock poised at her entrance, and recalled his patience as he had slowly entered her. "Oh, Lauren, you're so hot! I'm not surprised seeing this film! He's such a big boy!" said Simone, shaving once again above her clitoris. She felt a hand go down between her legs, pulling one lip of her vagina to make the job of shaving easier. The razor followed swiftly, returning to gently remove some stray hairs and then repeat the activity on the other side. She heard footsteps approaching and turned away from the TV to see two men approaching with two women. She saw the bulges in their robes and a sickening feeling engulfed her. She squirmed on the altar. "Hey! No moving, or your friend will be punished!" The two men took up positions at her head, such that she had to arch her back to see what they were going to do. She saw the woman on her right undo the mans gown, pulling out his semi-erect cock and pointing it at her. She felt revolted by the sight of the wrinkled tool surrounded by sparse clumps of pubic hair. The woman took his cock and started to run her hand expertly up and down it's length, bringing it back to life. Lauren sobbed, sniffing loudly as she covered her eyes with her hands. Almost instantly, a searing pain shot through her as Simone smacked her buttocks. "Hands away, or else!" She obeyed, looking the other way to see a younger cock pointing at her face, again held by a woman's hand. "You, get up, bitch!" shouted the priest, pointing at Nikki. She got to her knees, trembling in expectation of another beating. "Undo her robe! Quickly!" Nikki turned awkwardly in her shackles to face Lauren. She looked ghastly, with heavy red marks across her exposed skin, her eyes the same colour from crying. Slowly, she undid the little bows that held the robe together, exposing the remainder of her stomach and then her small breasts. The garment eventually fell either side of Lauren's tiny frame. Nikki kept her gaze fixed on the robe, never looking up for one minute at the shaking girl on the altar. The older women continued to stroke the cocks in their charge, the younger man's weapon looking stronger and stiffer, with a trace of fluid on the end. The woman then placed her free hand between the mans legs, and held his balls gently. He leant forward slightly, moving now with her rhythm as he reached out and felt Lauren's breast. "Get off me you bastard!" she shouted. As the final syllable left her mouth, the older man came, shooting cum into her mouth, over her hair and face, and then, with the direction of the woman, over her little breasts. The younger man followed, producing a stream of cum that hit her nose and chin. Lauren sobbed loudly as she shook her head violently from side to side as if to shake off the thick liquid on her face. "Please, no more. Please, I just want to go home!" she wailed, her chest rising and falling rapidly as her crying intensified. "Now remember, Lauren, we've got the whole ceremony to come yet. You'll enjoy that, won't you?" said Simone patronisingly. "I just ... just want to go home." she sobbed. "No, not after all these preparations. Now, I've finished shaving you." said Simone, standing up and facing the majority of the congregation. "If anyone wants to inspect her, please wait until Rebecca has finished cleaning her up. Then feel free to take a closer look. She really does have a lovely young body." "No, no please!" She turned on the altar, struggling against the ropes that held her feet up in the air. She couldn't now see the men who had come over her, nor the women who had been with them. Nikki had returned to the floor, and Lauren could just see her, curled up on the cold floor, occasionally jerking from the pain and her crying. "Rebecca, come and lick the soap off her, quickly now. Make sure you do a good job, or all three of you will suffer!" said Simone, glaring at Rebecca as she approached. Lauren hardly recognised her. She walked with the greatest of effort, again as though an invisible person was tugging her in an opposite direction. Saliva dribbled from her lips as she mouthed silent words. Her hands shook, possibly because the temperature had dropped within the barn, but it was more than a shiver. The vacant expression on her face was evidence of her poor physical and mental state. Lauren thought that if she had been found in the street in this condition, she would have been taken to hospital for lengthy observation, even if she had violently objected. She approached the altar and stared in Lauren's general direction, fixing her gaze on the floor to the side of her head. With her head leaning to one side, she knelt between Lauren's legs and ran her tongue up her inner thigh. Lauren tensed, feeling the girl's tongue approaching her sex. Straining to sit up, she glimpsed her face, covered in sweat with traces of soap over her nose and eyes. Her lips also had streaks of soap over them, but Rebecca made no effort to clean herself. "Quicker!" shouted Simone, pushing her head hard between Lauren's legs so that her nose buried into her. Lauren winced, turning her head away, only to see herself again on the screen, pushing her hands underneath her lace knickers as Jim probed deeper into her. Just as Rebecca lapped along the length of her vagina, she saw herself pushing her knickers down towards her knees, her pussy wet and aroused from Jim's attention. She sobbed as her emotions swung violently from revulsion to love for Jim, back to the present horror and Rebecca's labored attempts at cleaning the soap from her body. She could hear her coughing, almost choking, no doubt from the soap that she had swallowed. She heard the crowd around her chattering and applauding the film as her hairless vagina was displayed both on the film and again in real life. And then she saw herself slipping to the floor and pulling off his underpants, freeing up his giant cock that stood proudly against his shirt. A squeal went up form the crowd as the size of his cock became apparent. "Christ, that's a beauty!" shouted one of the women. Simone marched across to Rebecca. "Come on, slut, you've finished now, get in the corner with this little one!" she ordered, unlocking Nikki's leg from the handcuff and kicking her hard on her bruised buttocks. Nikki took Rebecca's hand and both girls crawled over to the wall where the food was laid out, curling up in the darkest spot. Lauren looked across the room towards them, noting that it was dark outside. The temperature was probably falling quickly now as the heat left the valley and night set in. She thought she could make out Nikki with her arms around Rebecca, comforting her. She turned away, suddenly aware of her own situation again, her legs tiring now from being held up in the air. She had given up caring about the sight she offered to the congregation, her naked vagina exposed, red and tender. The film was now up to the point where Jim was trying, gently, to enter her. She could see the tip of his cock coaxing apart her young pussy lips as he delved deeper and deeper into her, slowly gaining inch by inch as the pain and anxiety showed on her face. She was amazed to see herself, gripping his head tightly, almost pulling his hair out, as his stroking penetrated her further each time. Simone skipped over to her, kneeling behind her head, watching the film with her. "Tell me, how did it feel?" "Let me go! I just want to go home, we haven't done anything wrong have we?" cried Lauren, twisting as well as she could to try and see Simone. "Hush, just watch!" whispered Simone and she caressed her forehead gently. "You look so lovely there. I've brought myself off many times watching this film. Just wait till you see you and me together". Simone's hands paused as she watched the picture, then returned to caress her cheek, wandering down over her chest to her nipples. To Lauren's horror, they perked up immediately, as butterflies fluttered in her stomach. She sensed the warming sensation between her legs again as Simone expertly drew lazy circles over her chest and tummy. A finger slowly traced a path down over her navel and along her leg, dipping around the knee to return inside her thigh. Lauren shifted as the finger drew closer to her pubic mound. She tensed, ready to shriek in protest. The finger avoided her vagina. Nevertheless, she let out a childlike squeal as the finger neglected her on it's way back to her breasts. "Suzy, come and help" said Simone, waving her hand to get the girls attention. "What are you going to do to me?" asked Lauren, her voice quivering. "Lie back. There there." said Simone, soothing her. "Suzy has been a model convert to the church, and it's therefore only right that she is rewarded." Lauren saw the young girl approach again who had pushed her breast in Nikki's face earlier. "Lauren, you're very beautiful. I want to thank you for coming today." said Suzy as Simone disappeared towards the food. She leant down in front of her, and Lauren felt an enormous sense of relief as her legs were lowered back to the ground. "There, I hope that feels better." "Oh, thank you. Please...please don't hurt me" sniffed Lauren, raising herself onto her elbows. "Stay lying down for now" said the girl, resting her hand on her shoulder. "I won't hurt you, I promise" She sat down on the lower bale of straw and turned to the film. After a while, she looked down at Lauren. "Is he your boyfriend?" "Mmm, I suppose so" "He seems very caring" "Yeah, I think he is" Suzy leant down towards Lauren. "Just listen to what I have to say. I'm going to kiss you, but listen, OK?" she whispered. "OK" Suzy leant over Lauren and kissed her mouth, running her tongue over her lips as her hand stroked her cheek. "All they want here is for you to cooperate. Just do what they say and everything will be OK." Suzy's attention focused on her little breasts and the taut nipples that crowned the hillocks. "The Priest wants to show the congregation that he can have sex with all the newcomers. If you do as he and the priestess say, then they'll let you all go. If you don't, then I can't predict what will happen." She paused, a pained expression on her face. "There were rumours that one girl died when she resisted!" Lauren felt dizzy, the shock washing over her as the depth of their predicament sunk in. Suzy looked around furtively, pretending to watch the film. Lauren followed her gaze and saw herself lying on the studio floor, her back arched as she came. Her eyes were transfixed on the sight as Jim withdrew his thick cock from her pussy and shot wave after wave of come over her body. Lauren unconsciously reached for Suzy and held her head. Suzy smiled at her. "Wow, that's some boyfriend!" "He's lovely. Thank you. I'm,....I'm so frightened." said Lauren, her hands shaking slightly as she felt the tears welling up again in her eyes. She sobbed involuntarily, running through scenarios that could lead to her ultimate punishment. "Just do as we say, and you'll be fine. Open your legs as much as possible." Her face disappeared out of sight as her kissing concentrated briefly on her nipples, and then moved to explore her vagina. Lauren felt the difference in this girls attention, the care and consideration that was in stark contrast to the rude abuse she had received so far. She held the girl's head as she guided her between her legs, feeling her hot breath on her clitoris as the girl licked along the length of her lips towards her anus. She continued for several minutes, relaxing Lauren with her careful tonguing and the gentle circling around her anus with her fingers. The film faded out and the congregation began talking once again, watching Suzy as she pushed her tongue inside Lauren's vagina. "OK, Suzy, it's time for the rest of the church to inspect our most recent convert. You can play with her again later." said Simone, resting her hand on Suzy's shoulder. Simone turned and nodded towards the people seated on the benches around the altar. The best man approached. Suzy stood up, smiling, her lips covered in saliva and the sweet smell of Lauren. The best man stood between Lauren's legs and ran his hand over her inner thighs. "What do you think?" asked Simone. "Very smooth! And so frightened!" he said as he pushed a finger inside her. Lauren gasped as she felt the stiff finger penetrate her. It moved inside her and withdrew without pausing or consideration. She closed her eyes, closing out the vision of her molester, almost numb now to the attention she received. After a while, she felt a different hand over her pubic mound, grabbing her, pawing her as though she was a pet for sale. Her vaginal lips were parted by two expert fingers as a thumb pushed against her clitoris, making her squirm again on the altar as a man laughed quietly from above. He slapped her thighs. "Good legs as well. Quite strong. I do like her tits, though" said a gruff voice as the inspection continued. "And you say she loves girls and boys, even at her age?" "Yep. Just wait till you see the film! At only 13 she's made love to married women, teenage girls, her brother, you name it, she's done it. She just doesn't care!" "That's not fair! That's a lie. It's not like that!" shrieked Lauren, devastated at the extent of Simone's knowledge. "Did any of them force you to do it?" asked Simone. "You even like to do it on film!" But Lauren could only cry, her chest heaving as the tears flowed freely down her cheeks. She covered her face with her hands, closing her legs in an effort to expel the latest voyeur from her presence. "I..just..want...to go home." she stammered between wails. Chapter 31 Sunday 30th August, 8pm "Mike," said his father, "we're going to have to get them out of wherever they are. My fear is that if we call the police, they'll burst in and we'll have bigger problems. We're going to need Jim to help us. Although I despise what he's done, I know we're going to need him" "What about Stefan, could he help us?" he asked. "Is he in?" "I'm not sure, I'll take a look." While Mike visited the neighbours house, Maurice went upstairs to console Daniele, who lay on her stomach on their big bed, weeping. "We'll find her, don't worry" he said, resting his hand on her back. "It's all so dreadful. I know she's in trouble, I can feel it. Maurice, we've got to get to her. What is they are filming it? Eh? I've read about these things. There are some very sick people out there." "We'll find her. When Andre gets here, we'll set off. I think we'll need the help of Jim" "But you were so rude to him. I don't know if he'll want to face you, anyway!" she sobbed. "I was hardly going to congratulate him, was I?" he snarled, his face colouring once again. "Maurice, I've never told you this, but I lost my virginity at about the same age as Lori" "What, at thirteen?" "About that, yes." "But that doesn't make it right, does it?" "No, but sometimes, it just happens that way. I'm disappointed, but not really angry. But I am very worried about wherever they've gone. It's very late now, especially for a Sunday" The kitchen door slammed shut as Mike returned. "Dad, there's nobody there!" he shouted up the stairs. "OK, can you give Jim a call, tell him I'm sorry but we'd like his help. We an collect him from the station if he wants!" "What if he won't help?" "Please, you'll have to convince him. Tell him what we know. Tell him that Lori is in danger and that we're going to go and look for her!" Mike made the call and talked quietly to Jim. He told him most of the things that they had learned that evening, with the exception of some of the hearsay that had been gathered from Marlene. He put the phone down and clumped upstairs. "OK, he'll be at the station in about thirty minutes. I said we'd collect him. What about Nikki's dad?" "I'll call him. We'll need his car as well, I think" The group had assembled by just after ten o'clock. Daniele, Maurice and Andre discussed the route they should take, deciding that they would investigate the Lausanne site first. "We'll call here once we get to the outskirts of Lausanne" said Maurice, "just in case they come home. Then we'll call you once we've investigated the first place. If we don't find anything, we'll back track and make our way to Lauterbrunnen, again calling just before we go up the mountain." "I left a note for Jean telling her briefly what's happened, but I expect she'll call here as soon as she reads the note." said Andre, his arm around Daniele. "You'll have to bring her up to date. I'm sure she'll want to be here. She can take a cab or walk" The phone rang just as Andre picked up his coat. Mike answered it and replaced the receiver. "That's Jim, he's at the station." There was a slight buzz in his voice as his excitement at the expedition fired his imagination. His father was busy bundling blankets and clean clothes into the two cars. "Come on then! Maps?" asked Maurice. "Got them" replied Mike. Maurice kissed Daniele good-bye as Mike got into the car, waving. His father joined him and both cars set off into the night. Daniele watched as they disappeared down the hill and shut the door. She breathed deeply, trying to stifle the fear inside her but to no avail. She burst into tears, crying loudly as she shook, her imagination conjuring up horrors in her mind to fuel her dread of the truth and what the next few hours would bring. She sobbed on the sofa for several minutes before turning on the television, expecting at any minute to see the program interrupted by a newsflash. She made a cup of coffee and tried to eat some fruit, but the thought of food made her feel sick. Slumped on the sofa, she sipped her coffee, returning to the kitchen to put two more spoonfuls of sugar into the steaming cup. As she walked back to the lounge, the phone rang, making her jump and spill her coffee down her leg. She set the cup down and grabbed the phone. "Hello? Oh, Jean, you've got to come over here. We think something terrible has happened." She covered her mouth as Jean questioned her. "No, they've left to look for two possible place. Maurice got the addresses from the office database." She listened to Jean for several minutes, hearing what had been found on the tape and reading Andre's letter. "Well, he's about right, although I think Lauren has been involved in some dirty photos, maybe with Jim. I really am surprised at him, I thought he was such a nice boy. Anyway, we've given him the benefit of the doubt and he's gone off with Andre, Maurice and Mike." She listened again, shaking her head as she kept one eye on the television. "Look, come round now. Come prepared to spend the night. OK, see you in about twenty minutes." The cab pulled up outside the house just before eleven o'clock, and Daniele held the front door open as she walked up the darkened path to the house. They exchanged news, Daniele adding about the research Maurice had done before they left. Jean related the contents of the film, and how it developed from a standard sex film into something very sinister. "Daniele, after the film seems to end, there's another bit added on called `Lolita' or something like that. It's about teenagers and they're all having sex - including girls with girls." "I thought there was something to do with blood?" asked Daniele. "There is. At the very end, for about five minutes..." She broke off, clearly embarrassed by the thought of relating the scene and action. "Go on, I think I know what you're going to say" "This girl is tied to a sort of bed and her clothes are cut away from her body. They take her hair off, you know, down here, and then some men have sex with her." She paused for breath, looking at the carpet as the danger that Nikki and Lauren might be in seemed to slowly sink in. "Oh God, Daniele, they have sex in her bottom too. And, after they done some other things to her, they stab her. There's blood everywhere and they carry on as if nothing had happened!" "Oh God, Maurice didn't tell me that. Oh God no!" Daniele cried uncontrollably again as Jean pulled her against her shoulder. "Hey, they'll find them. Don't get so upset, we'll probably find that they've been to some all-night party!" But Daniele wasn't listening. She dreaded the phone ringing, was panicked by the television, and tortured by her own imagination as she tried valiantly to remain in control. Chapter 32 A further three people, as far as Lauren could tell, came across to the altar and felt her body, paying special attention to her breasts and vagina. She kept her eyes tightly closed, which helped to mask the continuing abuse she received, but did nothing to reduce her shaking and the misery she felt within. Occasionally, she glanced sideways to Nikki and Rebecca, still huddled in the corner but now under the food tables almost out of sight. She ached all over, and even though her legs had been lowered back to normal by the young girl Suzy, she knew that walking would hurt like crazy. She desperately wanted to go to the toilet as well, and continually flexed her stomach muscles in an effort to reduce the pressure on her bladder. The music had changed, now upbeat, modern western music as opposed to the lilting rhythms of the rain forest. With darkness now complete outside, the only illumination from the windows was the reflection of the white and red barn lights. Lauren's throat ached as well from her incessant crying and she knew that her eyes must look like she had been in a fight. She also realised that the whole episode would have to be explained to her parents. Not just how the had come to be incarcerated up the mountain with a bunch of religious fanatics, but maybe even what she had done in the past few months with Nikki, Jim and Simone. Then it dawned on her that maybe they would even find out about her and Mike. She cried loudly, causing Suzy to return, a look of concern on her face. "What's happened?" "I don't feel well. I feel sick" she sobbed. "You'll be fine. Do you think you're going to vomit?" she asked. "I don't know. I just want to go home, please, that's all." "Very soon. Just do as we ask and like I said, you'll go home." Suzy went back to the seats to continue chatting. As Lauren watched her sit down, the film again flickered into life. She recognised the studio again, and presumed that this would be the second visit, where she had been so keen to be photographed with Jim and Simone. She shook her head in amazement that she could have been so gullible, so stupid to have allowed it to happen, let alone wanted to do it. Her amazement was even greater when she saw that within thirty seconds of her arrival on the studio floor, she was naked, throwing her clothes off with abandon before lying over a stool. "Oh, wow, this is a wonderful film, Simone. This is your best so far!" said one of the men sitting with his partner. "Thanks, but don't forget our sexy star. Oh! Here I am, look, this is you and me, Lauren." Lauren saw herself undressing Simone, pulling her knickers off and allowing her hand to feel her wetness. "This is the bit I like. Let's see the film and do it for real at the same time, eh?" said Simone. She moved to Lauren's head and positioned herself on the lower straw bale so that she faced Lauren's legs. Simone hiked up her robe, exposing her long legs and straddled Lauren's face. She ran her hands down the length of Lauren's body, caressing her breasts, hips and thighs. Lauren looked up to see, no more than five inches from her face, Simone's pussy lips, highly aroused, glistening in the faint light. She felt that she was inside a tent, cut off from everyone else, with just the red and white glow from the barn lights shining through Simone's robe to light her little world. She looked to her right to see the golden brown legs of the stunningly beautiful girl above her. There was no tan line to be seen, just firm, muscular legs, joining her body, separated by her vagina. Her clitoris was evident, poking carefully out from under the little hood, fringed delicately by fine black pubic hair. Lauren inhaled the sweet scent of her sex as she felt Simone's long hair brushing against her inner thighs. Simone's delicate tongue found it's target and started to languidly massage her clitoris, wandering along the length of her inner lips, up and down, returned to probe now and again at the little pink bulb that had given them both so much pleasure. Unconsciously, Lauren turned her head to the right and rubbed her nose in appreciation against Simone's thigh. Her legs were so silky smooth, so clean and tempting that she worked her way slowly upwards towards her sex. She couldn't reach her vagina, and resigned herself to watching, listening while nuzzling into her leg, pecking occasionally with her lips. She felt so safe inside the robe, as though her problems had at last disappeared. The tongue explored her vagina for several minutes while Lauren lay on the altar, aware now and then that the film was still playing, still incriminating her, still exposing her as a girl who would do anything for sex. Light broke through the robe and a cold draft followed as someone lifted the back of Simone's robe and fastened it, revealing her buttocks. Simone adjusted her stance, widening her legs as a hand ran over Lauren's face, then up Simone's thighs and around her vagina. The middle finger pushed slowly inside Simone, causing her to move slightly to accommodate it. As it withdrew, Lauren saw her pussy lips were covered in lubrication, shining wildly in the eerie light. She knew it was a man's hand, and was therefore not surprised when his thick cock pressed against Simone's wet pussy. Lauren tried to move out of the way but Simone stopped her progress by holding her thighs tightly. "Oh no, this is where you see everything. We may even want you to help later." she said, lowering herself closer to Lauren's face. The man pushed his cock deep inside Simone as her pussy lips followed it in, folding in sympathy as he plunged into her. Lauren could see that his cock gently rubbed against her clitoris, providing stimulation as he began stroking regularly. She also became aware of the smell of the man, who clearly hadn't bothered to wash himself. The odor of sweat and human faeces was obnoxious to the point where Lauren tried to hold her breath rather than breath in the foul air. The man moved confidently, held Simone's hips and put one leg up on the straw bale to balance himself. "Oh yes, that's good. Nice and slowly." said Simone, continuing to lick around Lauren's clitoris. "This is amazing!" said the man. "The film, and this little girl, and you all at the same time. I can't hold on much longer!" "Just do it in me, then. Go on! Do it deep inside me!" demanded Simone, burying her head between Lauren's legs. The man picked up speed, twitched slightly and then pushed hard as he slapped against Simone's buttocks. Lauren saw his balls crumple up as his cock swelled, and then he grunted loudly. His stroking lost it's rhythm, each push causing a little white fluid to spurt out from Simone's pussy. He stopped after a few seconds, pausing for breath before he slowly withdrew from Simone. Lauren looked up to see Simone's red inner lips slowly moving back as a little pool of cum formed at the entrance to her vagina. "More! Who's next?" asked Simone, lifting her head from Lauren's legs. Presently, Karl reappeared, his robe bulging at the front as he stood behind Simone. He undid the front enough to expose his cock, and positioned it at Simone's moist entrance. "Oh yes, Karl!" said Simone, turning round. "Our new recruit! Let's see how much you've got inside you after you pumped Rebecca full of it!" Karl smiled at her, licked his fingers and felt her already wet pussy. "No need for that, just get in there!" Lauren instinctively looked up to ensure that she positioned her face such that she could breath properly. She watched as the tip of his cock touched the inner folds of her pussy. As he slowly advanced, the skin gave way allowing him to fill her insides with his stiff tool. It was a nicer looking cock that the previous man, maybe a little shorter, but still seemed to fit very nicely between the gripping muscular walls. This time, thankfully, there was no sickly smell, and as Lauren looked up, she could see Simone's clitoris standing out proudly, fully aroused and exposed to her view. She reached out, holding onto Simone's thighs as she felt the welcome tongue return to her vagina. Karls's cock liberated much of the cum from the previous man, pushing the liquid into a little river that dripped slowly from Simone's pussy lips and down onto Lauren's cheeks. Karl slapped against Simone's buttocks as he plunged into her. His cock was slimy now, covered in a layer of cum and lubricant that smelled of pure, distilled sex. Lauren bent her legs, opening herself further to the attention of Simone. The older girl obliged by gently running her finger round her bottom, resting occasionally on her anus as she continued to plunge her tongue inside Lauren's vagina. She felt a finger exploring her anus more purposefully now, pushing at the entrance with deliberation. Lauren licked her silky thighs in encouragement and was rewarded with a finger pushed straight into her anus. Lauren could hear Karl grunting, and realised that he too was not going to last very long. Lauren reached between Simone's legs and took hold of Karl's balls, gently squeezing him. His surprise was evident as he jerked suddenly, interrupting his rhythm, before resuming with even greater speed and enthusiasm. Lauren held him, pressing her thumb against his anus as he plowed into Simone's pussy. He dug his nails into Simone's thighs as he came, shrieking with delight, filling her again with a torrent of cum. It squeezed out of her, dribbling down her inside leg and over Lauren's mouth as he continued to pound into her. Simone sensed his orgasm and tried as hard as she could to bring Lauren to climax as well. Wetting her finger, she reintroduced it into Lauren's anus while pushing her tongue deep into her hot sex. Lauren trembled with emotion, unsure whether the correct reaction was to scream with pleasure or disgust. But the build up of lust and the waves of enjoyment were unmistakable as she lifted her bottom slightly to encourage Simone's finger and tongue. Lauren looked up as Karl slowly withdrew his rigid wet tool and watched Simone's vagina releasing it as the folds of skin reluctantly gave way. The sight of her beautiful sex and his hard cock were enough to send Lauren shooting over the edge. She pulled her legs hard against her chest, almost knocking Simone out of the way as she came with such force that she thought she might burst into tears again. As she floated in no- mans land, oblivious to the company surrounding her, Simone relaxed her grip on her thighs and slowly removed her finger from Lauren's anus. Continuing to lick her for a while longer, Lauren pulled the girl's vagina towards her, extending her tongue so that she could lap at the juices that streamed from between her legs. She opened her eyes and looked up along the valley of Simone's buttocks. She could just make out a small strawberry-coloured birthmark hidden between her cheeks which registered dimly in her mind a something to think about later. She was much too busy enjoying the taste of Simone to ponder where or when she had seen something similar before. "Oh Lauren, you're such a love. I'll make sure you make me come later." said Simone after they had both relaxed. She swung off the altar and brushed Lauren's hair from her face. "Now, I want you three girls to get cleaned up. It must be getting on for eleven o'clock now, and we need to hold the final ceremony, your initiation into the church." "Please don't hurt us anymore!" implored Lauren. "Look, we don't want to hurt you. Just do as we say." Simone looked down at her kindly. "Tell you what, I'll get the priest to bring Rebecca round to normal. Then you can spend a couple of hours downstairs before coming back. Then you can go home!" "But my parents, they'll know I'm missing and they'll be looking for me!" "So? They won't find you here, and you don't know where on earth you are, do you?" Lauren looked away from her, the sense of dread and misery returning. "Come on, let's find the others" said Simone, walking across to the food tables. The girls were indeed underneath the tables, cowering from everyone who walked past. "Out you come. Time to get cleaned up! Rebecca, come with me for a while." said Simone, offering her a hand to stand up. Simone and Rebecca walked to the rear door, emerging less than a minute later. Rebecca looked dreadful, the red and white lights probably masking some of the torment and anguish in her face, but not the matted hair, the bruises and scratches that she had suffered during the evening. She half staggered across to Lauren and Nikki as Simone watched from the door. "What the hell's happened to us? Where's my robe? Oh Christ, Nikki! Where did you get these cuts?" she asked, looking at the ripped robe. She wobbled precariously and the two girls held her tightly as Simone motioned them towards the big barn door. "Shh. We'll talk inside the house. Come on, you can make it" said Lauren, severely doubting whether any of them could. Chapter 33 Although Maurice and Mike listened to the radio, neither could have said what they were listening to as the car purred along the brightly lit autobahn. Maurice could see the lights of Andre's car behind, and knew that the silhouette in the passenger seat was that of Jim. They had waved to each other courteously at the station, thinking that they had better not talk until really necessary. He was aware that he was still angry enough to hit the young man who he thought had taken his daughter's virginity. The blackness of the night surrounded them, and even the occasional appearance of the moon from behind the clouds failed to brighten their mood. Dark trees hid from view the small houses that lined the side of the road. Mike looked down at the small villages. The pin-points of lights offered a welcoming sight, their cobbled streets shining from the drizzle that had passed through the valley a couple of hours before sunset. He looked up above the villages, following the lighted trails of the roads that formed the mountain passes. Few cars were to be seen, and even fewer houses were discernible in the distance. "Looks like we're about twenty minutes away from Lausanne," said Mike, reading the map in the glare from the street lights, "and then another fifteen from the address. That'll make it about eleven thirty." "God, I hope they're at the first one" said Maurice, watching his speed climbing steadily past the 140Kph mark as he overtook two cars. He checked to ensure that Andre was keeping up with him, and sat defiantly in the fast lane, the height of bad manners. They traveled in silence for almost ten kilometers until Mike tapped on his window, indicating the next exit. The car slowed and gently curved off to the right, again slowing at a stop sign before turning up towards the mountains above the lake. Andre followed right behind. Mike looked closely at the map, giving directions as he concentrated hard on watching their rout and reading the map, aware that a wrong turn could cost them valuable minutes. "OK, it should be about three hundred meters on the left, according to your street map." said Mike, clapping the book closed. "Slow down and we can go past slowly, just to take a look at the house." He leaned forward, looking at the large detached chalets that nestled in the trees, well away from the road. Many had lights on, and all looked charming in the moonlight. "This is it, here, number 47. There seem to be a few cars there. I'll park off the road down by this next set of trees and we can walk back." He switched off his headlights and carefully pulled over. "We should talk with Andre and Jim before we do anything." They crept back towards Andre, who had wound his window down as they approached. "This is the place. I don't see much happening though" said Maurice, looking over at the lights on in the front room. "Why don't Mike and I go and quickly take a look. Then if it's wrong we can get moving. I think the place in the mountains is more likely anyway - it's probably more secluded" said Jim, avoiding eye contact with Maurice. "Fine. Get going. We'll turn the cars round and park back down the road. If you see anything suspicious, come back. No heroics, OK?" The boys walked along the edge of the garden, keeping well into the darkness of the high fir trees. Once Maurice had lost sight of them, he returned to his car and drove off. The boys were waiting for him less than a minute later, ready to jump back into the cars. Mike slid into the passenger seat, shaking his head. "Go on, this isn't the place," said Mike, pulling on his seat belt. "There are about ten old age pensioners in there. No buildings around the back, all very quiet and peaceful. Turn right at the next junction." "Damn!" whispered Maurice as he turned the corner. "But then again, I'm not sure if I want to find them out here or not. I still hope they'll turn up a home after some wild party!" "Hey, we'd better ring Mum, tell her that we're on the way to the second place" "OK, Let's find a phone" They pulled in after a couple of kilometers and called, relaying the bad news to Daniele and Jean. As they pulled back onto the road, the conversation ceased, both Maurice and Mike thinking their own private thoughts as they sped towards Lauterbrunnen. The traffic thinned as they started the long climb out of the valley, the summer air cooling quickly as they moved above a thousand feet. Both Maurice and Mike had been watching the small digital clock in the car and saw it change from eleven fifty-nine to show all zeros. End of Chapter 33 Chapter 34 Lauren trudged in front of Nikki and Rebecca towards the house. They looked like prisoners of war, refugees from another land. They had no possessions, and shuffled along with their heads bowed, their clothing tattered. Rebecca was naked, her body filthy from her evening of abuse. Simone led them to the house and guided them through the rear door. She clicked on the light. A piercing scream from above filled the house - a man's voice, desperately, frantically screaming. A dull thud followed, and then silence. "Don't worry. Probably ghosts" said Simone, marching down the hallway to the door downstairs. Lauren shook, hungry, tired and scared out of her wits. She needed the toilet so badly, she needed some privacy as well, some time alone to pull her thoughts together and try and understand what had happened to them this evening. More than anything though, she wanted her mother, her bed and familiar surroundings. The dark house was quite now except for their shuffling. Simone unlocked the door and flicked on the light. "See you in a couple of hours. Get cleaned up and have something to eat." She watched as the three girls unsteadily negotiated the steps down into the reception area. Lauren turned at the bottom to help Rebecca, and saw the door close above. They were alone again. Nikki went ahead and flicked on the lights. "Oh my God!" screamed Lauren, bringing her hands to her face in terror. She stared at Nikki, her robe shredded to ribbons, cuts and red raw weal's showing through the rents. "Nik, Oh Nik" she wailed, tears rolling down her face. "My God, when did that happen?" asked Rebecca, letting the threads of the robe run through her fingers. "Rebecca, I think you were hypnotized or something. You've been in a trance for ages." "Rubbish. I'd know if I had. I told them to stop hurting you anyway." she said indignantly. "So how did you get all this shit in your hair, eh? All this cum on your face? And where did these bruises come from?" sobbed Lauren. "These people are nutters, you stupid cow! We've got to get out of here!" said Nikki, herself close to tears. "Listen. Here's what's happening next" said Lauren, standing in front of Rebecca. "We get cleaned up and taken back. The priest wants to fuck me. A girl up there said someone died who didn't do what they wanted. When I refused to get on their stupid altar, that little- bastard-best- man's-friend fucked Nikki's arse!" shouted Lauren, her face red with rage. "Not before I'd got these marks from the priest whipping me. I tell you, you were hypnotized and ordered to do things! Don't you remember drinking one man's piss? demanded Nikki. "Or being passed around the congregation to be touched up, smacked and kicked? They don't love you or want you. They just want to be amused by you. Feel your pussy. Find out what they rammed up there for fun" said Lauren, walking towards the bathroom. "I'm going to the toilet." Rebecca stood there, still staring at Nikki's injuries, dumbfounded. Nikki shook her head, trying to fight back her tears. She walked through to the bedroom and flopped onto the bed. The toilet flushed after several minutes and Nikki made her way to the bathroom and knocked. "It's me. I need to go too" "Come in" Lauren was sitting on the toilet, her head in her hands, still crying to herself. Her robe was discarded down by the Jacuzzi, and her naked body looked thin, blemished, like a street urchin might have done a century earlier. "We need Rebecca on our side. We can't make it without her." said Nikki. "I don't know if I trust her. She must have known what goes on in this stupid place!" "What choice have we?" Neither girl said anything. Lauren shuffled over to the side of the Jacuzzi and stared at the taps. Nikki attempted to sit on the toilet but her bottom refused to support her. She wandered slowly across to the wash basin like an old woman and picked up a pair of white towels, laying them down on the toilet seat. She urinated loudly as she stared at the floor, her arms wrapped around her chest, trying to control her shaking. Lauren turned on the water and let the tub fill up, recoiling like a frightened animal as the door opened. She relaxed slightly when she saw Rebecca in the doorway. "Look" said Rebecca, "I really don't understand what's been happening. This is supposed to be my special day!" "Hey, do you remember having you picture taken?" asked Lauren. "Yeah, outside with you two" said Rebecca, pleased with her recall. "What about coming back in and talking to people?" "Yeah, pretty much. Suzy gave me some flowers" "Then what?" asked Nikki, still sitting on the toilet, shaking. "Er, well, now were having a break. Seems you're going to join as well" "When you got the flowers it was about five thirty, right? Now it's almost half past eight!" said Nikki. "And they've got this film of Lori!" "Don't worry about the film!" stated Lauren emphatically. "That's nothing to do with it!" "I think it is." said Nikki. "What film?" "Nothing" hissed Lauren. "Someone - like the priestess - seems to know Lori and has taken film of her and Jim without their knowing it. You know, when they were doing it together." said Nikki, staring at Lauren. "Oh shit. That's not the first time." Lauren grabbed the taps and turned off the water. "Listen!" she said, looking at the ceiling. They heard the phone ringing. In between rings there was absolute silence, no footsteps, no shouts of `I'll get it'. It stopped. "That's it!" whispered Lauren, with the trace of a smile on her face. "You two stay here, and I'll call the police. There's obviously nobody upstairs!" "Yeah, that's right!" said Nikki, joining in enthusiastically. The girls hatched their plan quickly, deciding that they would turn out the lights and Lauren would find the phone - Nikki thought she had seen it near the front door and the recent ringing seemed to indicate it somewhere near the front of the house. They also decided that the robes were too bright, and in the absence of any dark clothing, she would be safer naked. Stealthily, she climbed the stairs and tried the door knob. It turned easily, allowing a feint crack of light to fall across her face. She nodded down to Rebecca, who clicked off the lights. Lauren's heart was pounding as she opened the door another few inches, trying to peer down the hallway towards the front door. She looked back, unable to see the other two girls in the darkness. Lauren inched her way along the cold floor of the hallway, carefully ensuring that the door didn't shut. Her hands shook again as she felt her way along the wall, identifying light switches and another door which she didn't remember. Continuing towards the front of the house, she realised she had a choice of two rooms, one on either side of the hallway. Both doors were closed. Gently, she turned the knob on the left hand door. She was relieved to find that the door opened silently, giving way into a darkened room. Curtains were half drawn across the windows, and a large desk filled the majority of the opposite side. Her legs shook now, her fear increasing as she progressed further from the others. Her outstretched hands felt across the desk top and found a small lamp. She debated whether to turn it on or not, deciding that maybe a momentary flash would be enough to confirm whether there was a phone or not. She found the switch and clicked it on. She squinted in the bright light, looking away quickly as she tried to adjust to the brilliance of the room. She looked around quickly for no more than two seconds, noting the contents of the room, and then pushed the switch again. The light stayed on. She clicked it again. Still the light remained on, beaconing out through the window. Frantically, she found the power lead and pulled it. The room plunged into darkness. Lauren's heart raced wildly as she held the corner of the desk to steady herself. Pressure was building in her anus, the muscles in her sphincter doing overtime to hold her together. She listened to the sounds of the house, half expecting any number of people to come rushing into the room to carry her back to the others. There was silence. The tears welled up again in her eyes as a sense of nausea began to rise in her stomach. She recalled in her mind the contents of the room. No phone. Padding across the hallway, she turned the knob on the other door and pushed. A high- pitched squeak came from the old hinges as she peered round the corner. The room was dark, smelled slightly musty but had a warmth to it that was almost inviting. She ventured further, closing the door behind her so that the catch scraped her naked bottom. She fumbled for the light switch and flicked it on briefly, then off again. A small bed, a table with a washbasin. Fireplace. Junk to her right. Perhaps a phone. She was about to switch on the light when two rectangles of light traveled across the wall, followed by the sound of crunching gravel. Panic-stricken, she realised she could either run back downstairs or hide and hope the driver went straight to the barn. She stretched her hands out and found the table. Crouching down, she hid underneath, waiting and listening as the engine stopped. She heard footsteps, only one person, she thought. She slid further under the table, pulling her knees up against her chest as tightly as possible, trying to make herself invisible. Her stomach heaved and she again felt the pressure from her gut pushing against her anus, trying hard to find a way out. She breathed deeply, searching for thoughts that might save her from soiling herself in the room. The front door opened. She froze, her heart beating wildly as she heard heavy boots clumping on the stone hallway. She almost cried out as the door to her room opened and the light was snapped on. Through half-closed eyes, she saw a pair of legs walk past the table. A man's legs covered in big, heavy trousers. Heavy boots, covered in ice and snow. A loud clank resounded in the room as Lauren saw a big gardening spade fall to the floor. A bag landed on the little bed with a thump. Lauren realised that if the man sat on the bed, he would see her, cowering under the table. As if on cue, her sphincter relaxed, and she defecated silently on the floor. She closed her eyes, praying that the man would leave as she felt the warm sticky mess spreading out underneath her buttocks. Within seconds she smelled the familiar stench and knew that she would soon be discovered. The man turned towards her, grunted and swore under his breath. He then made his way back to the door, and left the room. Lauren heard the sound of the car door slamming and the engine starting. She scrambled to her feet, noting the bag on the bed as she tore open the door and fled down the hallway as quietly a possible. She shut the apartment door behind her and almost fell down the stairs when Rebecca switched the lights back on. "Well, did you call them?" asked Rebecca, standing next to Nikki with a duvet pulled around her. All Lauren could do was to shake her head as she cried loudly, holding her hand to her face as she rushed past the girls towards the bathroom. She slammed the door and sat on the toilet, sobbing uncontrollably once again. She knew full well that she had failed. The girls must have realised, she thought, from the smell that surely trailed behind her, what had happened, and they knew that there was no hope for them, no chance of rescue from the outside. "Do you need help?" asked Rebecca from outside the bathroom. "No. Wait!" she replied, taking a handful of toilet paper and trying to clean herself. The smell made her retch as the toilet bowl slowly filled with sheets of paper. She flushed it twice before making her way to the shower and washing herself under the warm water. She went back out after drying herself and found both Rebecca and Nikki sitting on the bed, wrapped in duvets. "There's another one in that wardrobe" said Nikki, pointing to the big wooden doors. Lauren pulled the big patchwork quilt around her and sat on the bed. She realised that she was pleased to see them, even though fundamentally nothing had changed to make her more cheerful. "OK?" asked Nikki. "Mmm. There's a phone somewhere, but I didn't find it. A man came back and almost found me." she said, looking at the duvet miserably. "Look, maybe we'll have another go later." said Rebecca. "First, we need to wash ourselves. I've looked at Nik's back. It's a mess!" she said, shaking her head in disbelief. "Told you so! Do you believe us now?" asked Lauren. "Yes....look, I'm so sorry, I had no idea" "Any ideas about getting out?" asked Lauren. "They'll kill us if they catch us trying to escape, that's what the little bitch upstairs said." "Which bitch?" asked Rebecca. "Suzy, I think her name was." "Oh yes, she comes here with her brother. I used to think she was OK." "Well, she's as weird as the rest." said Nikki. She looked at Rebecca and frowned. "How could you let them do this to you, I mean, didn't you think there was something a bit bloody strange about them?" "No, they've always seemed so nice." "Well, they aren't. All they want to do is fuck people. And if you don't let them, they whip you!" she hissed. "I'm sorry, really I am. Let's get your back seen to. In the bathroom." Slowly, Nikki slid off the bed and stumbled into the bathroom. Her injuries were starting to ache as the bruising became apparent. She moved stiffly, her arms aching as she knelt down in front of the Jacuzzi to test the temperature of the water. Swinging her legs over the side, she grimaced as the water ran over her legs. "Don't turn the jets on, please!" Rebecca slid slowly into the water, closing her eyes as she went right under. Lauren's thighs still ached from being tied up for such a long time, but she too managed to slide into the water and sit on one of the sunken seats. "Wait, Nik, I'll help you." said Lauren, grabbing a flannel and ringing out the warm water. She stood up and sat beside her best friend. "Oh Jesus, Nik. I had no idea it was this bad!" Lauren stared at her back, criss-crossed with red lines, some of which had obviously bled earlier that evening. Further down towards her buttocks, and even on her inner thighs, heavy red lines were clear evidence that she had suffered much more than Lauren had realised. "This flannel's no good, I'll help you down. Lie on your tummy and slip down into the water". Nikki turned over, revealing the rest of the red marks as Lauren held her waist, easing her down into the warm water. She cried out three or four times before she could stand on the bottom of the tub and turn around. Rebecca washed herself quickly, including her hair, and then sat on the side. She ran the soap across her hairless vagina, remembering that the girls had said how the congregation had abused her earlier. She pushed a finger inside herself, noting that she felt tender but found no food or other objects. She watched Nikki trying to find a comfortable position where she could simply suspend herself without irritating her skin any further. "Nik, lay back against me so that your back doesn't touch the side. Put your arms over my legs. That's it." "I'm going to wash my hair in the shower" said Lauren, climbing out of the tub and down the steps. Nikki leaned back in the water, wetting her hair and Rebecca obliged by dripping shampoo over her head and massaging it into a lather. The girls dried themselves slowly. Rebecca had few problems, and Lauren managed reasonably well. Nikki however had to lie on the bed while they covered her in clean white sheets and patted her dry. The pain was really setting in now, and any touch of her back or thighs produced an instant squeal. Rebecca found some antiseptic cream in the bathroom cabinet and did the best she could for her, rubbing a little into each wound while Nikki twitched and groaned. Eventually, they wrapped themselves again in their duvets and curled up on the bed. "We can't go to sleep. We need to think of how we're going to escape" said Lauren, hoping someone was listening. "I can't." "She's right, we must stay awake! I'll make some coffee" offered Rebecca as she made her way to the door. There was silence for a few minutes while the sound of cups and water echoed from the kitchen. "Lori, do you trust her? Or is she part of their plan?" "Don't know. Nik, I'm so scared." She sobbed again, sniffing loudly as her nose blocked up. Nikki moved over towards her on the bed. Lauren realised that any movement caused her great pain. "That girl, she said they've killed people who don't do what they say." said Lauren. Nikki shook her head slightly. "I don't know what to think. They seem to like hurting people. Who says they're going to ever let us go? My mum told me about some church where they brainwash you so you never leave." "This doesn't seem like a church at all. More like some club for screwing." "Yeah, you're right." Rebecca wandered back into the room and put two mugs on the table beside the bed. They drank in silence, watching the steam rise from the mugs as their thoughts were elsewhere. "What's the time?" asked Lauren. "Not sure, I'll look in the kitchen" said Rebecca. "twelve-thirty" she said on her return. "Another hour before they come and get us" "I can't do it again, I just can't!" cried Nikki, pulling the duvet tighter around her body. The tears came freely now as she looked down at the bed. She wiped her nose on the back of her hand as she sniffed, brushing the tears off her cheeks and into her hair. She spilled her coffee as she shook, great wails of suffering tinged with pure fear racked her body. Lauren rested her hand on her knee. "We'll look after you. Just stay out of the way. They just want to screw me, then we can go." said Lauren quietly. "You know what, I think I've seen that Simone woman somewhere else." said Nikki, wiping her nose on the duvet. "She's the one who we did the photos with - Jim and I - a few weeks ago." offered Lauren. "No, somewhere else. I've seen her before!" said Nikki, her sniffles continuing as she frowned, thinking hard. "I noticed that she had a weird birthmark on her arse. What do they call it, blackberry or something" said Lauren. "Strawberry" said Rebecca. "Whatever. Oh, hold on , I know, in that film! You know, the one I brought round to your place." shouted Nikki. "Shit, I think you're right. She was Jane who couldn't remember anything" Nikki drew in a sharp breath as her mouth fell open. "What?" asked Lauren, anxiety written all over face. "The end of the film!" "We turned it off. It looked awful" said Lauren. "I saw it when I got home. It showed a girl getting stabbed by another bigger girl." "Rubbish!" shouted Rebecca. "I saw it. There's blood everywhere" "Oh fuck, no!" said Lauren. Rebecca said nothing. She simply stared in disbelief at the two girls. Chapter 35 Jean watched Daniele as she put the phone down. It was clear that the call had been bad news. They slumped into the chairs in the darkened lounge and looked at the television vacantly. "If they're not at the second place, what do we do?" asked Jean morbidly. Daniele jerked up, as though stung by a bee. The idea of total failure obviously had not crossed her mind. She glanced around the room as though seeking a soothing sight while she thought. "I don't know. They just have to be there. Perhaps they're back at your house already?" suggested Daniele. Jean made the phone call that confirmed that nobody was home and returned to her chair. "What did we do wrong? Those girls have everything they should ever need!" said Daniele. "But you must have wanted to experiment when you were young, surely?" "Yes, but we tried smoking, not stripping!" said Daniele, her face a mixture of anger and shame. "And with other girls!" She shook her head silently, glancing briefly at Jean. "Hey, I bet you checked out what the other girls were like at school just like everyone else. It lasts about two days and then it's over." stated Jean. "Well, maybe. But it's not right. I mean, it's not right to have your photo taken naked, is it? You know what some people are like today." "Look, Daniele, I've...we've always taken a pretty liberal approach with Nikki, and I think that she both knows a great deal about the world for her age, and still retains a sense of fair play and morality." "Oh, so you think we're to blame for Lori's messing around, do you?" she snapped. "Calm down. They're very different girls. What I'm trying to say is that together, they should be OK." "I'm sorry. I don't know what to think." She paused to dry her eyes. "You know how you discuss what you would do if your children did so and so. Well, Maurice and I never even dreamed of a situation like this. Never!" Chapter 36 The girls sat on the bed, still covered in the duvets. They looked slightly happier than a couple of hours ago, although had Nikki removed her covers, the wounds would have looked much worse with the dull bruising that had now set in. At just after one fifteen, they heard the door open above them followed by footsteps on the stairs into the reception area. Simone had changed her clothes and now wore what looked like a black silk kimono, embroidered along the lapels with oriental flowers. "OK, had a rest?" she asked rhetorically as she found them in the bedroom. "Lauren, get some stockings from that wardrobe, I know there are some in there. Use the suspender belt and come out when you have them on. You two, get new gowns from the pile I left in the reception area. Come on, let's go!" she said, marching out of the room. Rebecca and Nikki dropped their duvets outside the bedroom and took a gown each from the sofa. They were white this time, similar in style except they had a belt to make them more shapely. The material was also more expensive, with a silky feel that warmed to the touch. Embroidered patterns on the back and sides of flowers and birds. Each was wrapped in soft tissue paper as though they were either new or had just returned from the dry cleaner. "Oh, Nikki, look at you, you poor thing." said Simone, walking behind her and looking at her back. "If Lori had cooperated then you'd be fine!" "I know. We've all decided to be good and do whatever you say from now on" said Nikki, smiling. "Why, that's great. I knew you'd see sense eventually!" "Yeah, we're sorry. Really." said Rebecca, as she tried to find the right way up for her gown. Simone moved towards her, reached out and cupped her breast, running her thumb over her nipple. "I'm glad. I had hoped that we'd be able to enjoy each other's bodies tonight." "And me! Don't forget me" grinned Nikki. "Oh yes, you're a special one as well. Perhaps we could all make love to Lauren during her ceremony. She'd enjoy that, I know." Rebecca and Nikki put their new robes on, fastening the belt at the waist. The cut emphasised the shape of the girls, especially Rebecca whose breasts struggled to emerge through the front of the robe. Lauren emerged eventually from the bedroom with her duvet wrapped around her in her stockinged feet. "Take off the duvet and let's have a look at you!" said Simone happily. Lauren dropped the duvet with a flourish and stood in front of them, posing seductively. She wore only the white stockings and lace garter belt, her hairless pubic mound clearly evident between her legs. "Beautiful! You look great!" said Simone, beaming. Her sexy appearance also buoyed the spirits of Nikki and Rebecca to the point where they felt capable of applauding her little show. "Lauren, there are some white shoes in the bedroom that might fit you. Try them on." A few minutes later they ascended the steps into the cool hallway of the house. As they emerged through the back door, Lauren drew in a deep breath, aware that this was their big moment. Instead of walking in a line towards the house, the girls gathered around Simone and exchanged smalltalk. Nikki was in front, walking backwards so she could join in the conversation. The happy party were in high spirits as the huge doors opened and they entered the barn. Lauren stood at the altar, her stockings just visible beneath the long silk gown that was tied at her waist. Either side of her stood Rebecca and Nikki, ladies in waiting to the bride. Her intended, the priest himself, towered above Lauren and stood directly in front of her. Simone was clearly officiating for this ceremony, as she held the book with the order of service and looked across the room as if to ask for quiet. The congregation were seated again on the benches, offering a reasonable view of the proceedings without being too close so that nobody could move. Lauren recognized Suzy in the front row, along with the young boy that was supposed to be her brother. Lauren couldn't see much similarity, but hardly cared. The old couple were at the back again, and the man who had come in her face seemed to be half asleep. She looked around the room and noticed the lights were now almost entirely red, and the music was once again the South American rain- forest type of pipes that she found quite refreshing and soothing. There seemed to be a few more people this time than there had been during the afternoon, but couldn't be sure in the dingy glow. As if reading her mind, Simone wandered around the altar, lighting the huge candles on top of the big brass candlesticks. They offered a pleasing light, almost welcoming as Simone once again took her place between Lauren and the priest. "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome again to our wedding ceremony. We are delighted to celebrate the joining together of Lauren and Father Michael as Lauren enters into the body of the church, freely and willingly, so that she too might continue it's teaching and work throughout the world. Today, we will, by the union of their bodies, confirm our belief that all things are pre-ordained and that fate is our master. We will also confirm our belief that we are helpless in the hands of fate, and therefore abdicate our concern and responsibility over to fate itself." Lauren's heart raced. Her palms were sweaty as she held her hands together in front of her. Her smile slowly left her lips as the now familiar words rolled out into the night, only time stood between her and further abuse by the priest. Simone handed her a card containing the words of the ceremony and the responses expected of her. "Lauren, do you freely and gladly consent to be joined with Father Michael in the service of marriage into the Residualist church?" said Simone. "I do" "And Lauren, do you vow to protect the integrity of the church, to defend it's name, and strive at all times to follow the teachings of the church?" "I do" "Lauren, please kneel" She turned to kneel in front of Simone. "Lauren, do you swear to promote the mission of the church, while protecting it's institutions, wherever you may be, and to follow unswervingly in your search for inner peace?" "I swear before the assembled" replied Lauren. "You may rise. Now, Father Michael, do you take this girl, Lauren, as a bride of the church?" "I do" "And do you swear to promote the mission of the church, while protecting it's institutions, wherever you may be, and to follow unswervingly in your search for inner peace?" "I do" "Lauren, lie back and prepare to enter the church" said Simone, holding her hand as she had done for Rebecca earlier. Lauren laid down on the top bale of straw that formed the altar and crossed her hands over her chest. Rebecca and Nikki knelt beside her and began to pull apart the two sides of her silky gown. Her white stockings were plainly visible, shining in the pale candlelight. The girls undid the belt slightly revealing her hairless mound. Finally, Nikki tugged at the belt, letting it fall away as the two halves of her robe separated, showing her hips, the clean outline of her vagina and her smooth stomach. She parted her legs voluntarily. Rebecca and Nikki gently held her thighs before turning towards the priest. All three girls noticed the bulge that had sprung up inside his robe, and waited as Simone herself undid his clothing. They were unprepared for the size of his cock, and from the sound of the gasps around the room, so were most of the congregation. His tool must have been at least ten inches in length, and there was little hope that Lauren would be able to accept all of it without it tearing her apart. Simone smiled as she pulled away his belt, taking his cock in her hand and licking its length expertly. She glanced at Lauren's vagina and then at Rebecca and Nikki. "Lick her so that she's wet" she commanded, pausing briefly to watch before turning to take the priest's massive tool in her mouth. The girls twisted round and dribbled saliva over the little girls pussy, rubbing gently along its length, coaxing the clitoris to come out and play. Simone stopped them after a couple of minutes. "OK, that'll do." The priest moved closer to Lauren. Even though he was still three feet from Lauren, his rampant cock looked almost unnatural. He reached out to take hold of Lauren's knees. All hell broke loose as Lauren kicked between his legs with all her might. The priest yelped in agony and doubled up, slowly sinking to his knees as he grabbed his balls, his eyes bulging with a look of pain and utter surprise on his face. With a clenched fist, Rebecca swung at Simone, catching her reasonably well in the face. Lauren sat up and scratched at the priest's face, causing him to loose balance and fall to the floor. Nikki joined in by kicking once again into his groin before all three girls ran for the door, and their lives. Mercifully, the big door slid open and they fled into the cold starry night, skirting the big house and making for the long lane towards the lights on the main road. The gravel of the lane made running painful, and all three girls sought out the grass verge on the side. "Two hundred meters. Come on , we can do it!" shouted Rebecca, looking up occasionally at the street lights of the nearby village. Their robes fluttered behind them in the darkness like the wings of angels as they put on more and more distance between them and their captors. Lauren looked behind and saw that nobody was following them. "Hey, I think we made it!" she said between gasps of breath, her stockings torn and dirty from the gravel. "Keep going, until we find a house or phone!" shouted Rebecca. They continued for another fifty meters until Rebecca stopped suddenly. "Oh Fuck! Dogs!" The silhouettes of two, maybe three large dogs could be seen in the lights from the road. They began barking almost immediately. "Over the fence?" asked Nikki. "Oh shit, no!" cried Lauren in desperation as their plan fell to pieces. The dogs slowly advanced as though under orders as the girls froze. Lauren looked at the fence and saw to her dismay the barbed wire along the top and the ditch between her and the fence. She swiveled round to see figures approaching from the house. She looked back at the snarling dogs as they jerked at their chains, pulling their handlers with them. She heard the crackle of a radio. "Got them?" The priest's voice made her flesh crawl. "Affirmative. We've got them" one of the handlers responded. "Move back to the house or we'll let the dogs loose!" he shouted. "Oh my god, this can't be happening! I can't go through all this again. I just can't!" sobbed Nikki, falling to the ground. Rebecca and Lauren tried to pick her up, and had raised her to her knees when three men grabbed them and carried them back to the barn. Lauren saw Simone, her eyes flaming with rage. "You little shits! That was very stupid! You could've been out of here and on the way home by now!" Lauren was dumped at the base of the altar unceremoniously. Simone grabbed her hair, pulling her up to her feet, and then slapped her in the face with all her strength. She spun round and hit her head hard on the stone floor. Rebecca and Nikki were held by their captors while their hands were bound, then a larger rope was passed through the loops as they were pulled up towards the ceiling until their hands were about level with their heads. As she cowered on the ground, she saw the fear in Nikki's eyes, and realised that even the slightest pain on her back or thighs was going to be agonising. She could see her legs shaking uncontrollably, trying valiantly to support her weight. All three girls were crying, including Rebecca who now seemed to understand the depth of their problems. The priest emerged from the backroom and stood beside Lauren. "Now, my little escapee, where were we? Oh yes, you had opened your legs and were about to get the surprise of your life!" Out of the darkness, hands gripped her arms as she was tied down. Her feet were next, returning once again to the upright position that had tired her earlier that day. The same hands pulled her towards the priest so that her bottom was over the edge of the straw altar, exposing her vagina to his limp cock. "Oil!" he demanded, holding out his hand. The old woman placed a plastic bottle of oil in his hand. He squeezed, applying the lotion in the general direction of Lauren's vagina. Simone took the bottle and administered some to his cock which was steadily regaining its potency. "No, please don't!" mumbled Lauren, a final plea that she knew nobody in the room would heed. Simone dropped the bottle and pulled the priest towards Lauren, guiding his shaft to the tight entrance of her young pussy. Lauren felt the big dome of his cock at her entrance, and thought that maybe it wasn't going to be quite as painful as she had imagined. Then he thrust into her, halfway. Lauren simply opened her mouth and tried to scream. The searing pain, the width of his cock against her tight pussy walls, the shock. Blackness but with stars. She gurgled stupidly as he withdrew and then plunged even deeper. She shook her head but still no sound would come. Finally, guttural sounds emanated from inside her that told the story. "No! she screamed, the syllable carrying around the room for what seemed like an age. She strained at the ropes, struggling to free herself from the massive intrusion. She pulled at the knots around her wrists as the ropes cut wickedly into her soft flesh. The harder she struggled, the more the priest seemed to enjoy himself, reveling in her pain and discomfort as he pushed into her slowly, ensuring she received every inch each time. He continued for several minutes, each stroke beginning with his huge dome just inside her vagina, then the full length of his shaft rammed into her such that he slapped against her buttocks, then the slower withdrawal. The look on Lauren's face however, did not change from one of terror and pain that promised to cause her to slip into unconsciousness. A trickle of blood flowed from her right wrist as the ropes dug deeper into her, the pain irrelevant compared to that being inflicted by the priest. Increasing his speed, he grabbed her stockinged thighs and ordered the ropes be pulled tighter so that her bottom was suspended high off the altar. Both Nikki and Rebecca screamed from behind their friend, impotent with their own bonds, but sharing in the terrible pain that was being inflicted on their young friend. Harder he lunged into her, spurred on by the screams and cries of his bride. He smacked her thighs hard with the palm of his hand, rhythmically with his stroking as he approached orgasm. With a final shove, he pushed with all his might as he could as he came, white cum spurting out over her inner thighs as he pumped away. He withdrew quickly as Lauren gasped for breath. Cum was spread all over her red raw pubic mound as she tried in vain to close her legs. She sobbed uncontrollably, the pain between her legs excruciating. The fire wouldn't go out, and the muscles in her legs and stomach felt as though she had run fifty miles. Two the women from the congregation came up to her to inspect the damage. "Silly girl. You shouldn't have run like that. Now you'll be in trouble. Eh?" said one of them, scowling at her. Lauren coughed and cried even more, her world fast crashing down around her as she realised that this was probably just the beginning. Two men went past her and stood in front of Rebecca and Nikki. "No, please don't!" shouted Nikki, twisting and turning as if practicing ways of avoiding the blows that were sure to come. Desperation filled her eyes as one of the men grabbed her robe and ripped it off her body. He grabbed her between the legs and squeezed hard until she cried out in pain. "Give me a hand with this one, she's pretty lively! he shouted. Two others joined him, each one pulling a leg up into the air so that she swung from her bonds as he opened his robe. They maneuvered her so that he could enter her, splitting her legs wide apart. Without any preparation, he pushed himself into her as she writhed on his cock, the pain from her vagina almost equal to that in her limbs as she struggled, suspended from the floor. As the two men abused Nikki, the priest stood behind Rebecca, nodding at the two women who had talked to Lauren. They knelt and grabbed Rebecca's ankles while the priest oiled her buttocks, paying special attention to her anus and vagina. Rebecca turned as far as she could to see what was happening, only to have her worst nightmares confirmed as the priest approached her shining buttocks with a whip. "Now, my little convert, time to pay up for your disobedience!" he snarled, raising the whip. "Fuck you!" she shouted as the whip swished through the air onto her buttocks. She jumped so high that the women lost control of her. She continued to writhe for almost a minute within the confines of her bonds as the pain seared through her. "Hold her still!" he shouted. Another swish and the whip landed in almost the same place as Rebecca cried out in anguish. And then the blows rained freely, on her back, up between her legs, over her shoulders as her struggling becoming less and less animated. She cried bitterly, loudly, attracting Nikki's attention who glanced across at her, a look of pain and sympathy on her face as each blow struck home. Several minutes later, he stopped, exhausted, his thick cock still poking out from inside his robe. The crowd had left their seats and were watching the individual punishments. Some were touching the girls, probing and teasing, making their lives as miserable as possible. Suzy was tasting the cum that dribbled from Lauren's swollen vagina. "OK, do what you want with them!" shouted the priest angrily. "Absolutely anything!" He strode towards the rear door, disappearing out of sight. Three men, including Karl, lowered the ropes that held Nikki's arms until she could relax without running away again. Karl grabbed Suzy by the hand and pulled her towards him, occasionally glancing at the rear door as he hurried her round behind Nikki. He picked the whip up from the floor and handed it to her. "Let her have it if she moves, OK?" "OK, hurry because I want to do a few things!" responded Suzy, feeling Nikki's buttocks with her free hand. Nikki grimaced as she saw the whip and felt the young girl sizing her up. She glanced over to Rebecca who hung limply from the ropes, her head resting motionless on her shoulder. Almost all her weight seemed to be supported through her arms as she swung slightly in the darkened gloom. Lauren though had stopped crying and received little attention except for the best man who didn't really seem to know what to do next with her, so contented himself by rubbing his half-erect cock over her little breasts. Karl spread oil over Nikki's buttocks and between her legs, roughly introducing his oily fingers into her vagina. He tried hard to introduce the bottle of oil straight into her anus but gave up when he lost patience with his efforts, deciding to grease up his fingers instead and ram them into her. Nikki lurched forward against the ropes, trying in vain to escape the intrusion. The older men rubbed the oil around her vagina, teasing her pussy lips and clitoris with their old knarled fingers. "Lower her this way!" commanded Karl from behind the little girl. Nikki turned to see what was happening, her hands shaking as her legs appeared to give way. She saw Suzy opening Karl's gown, pulling out his rigid cock as he sat down on the floor. She pulled down on his foreskin, exposing his purple knob, and tipped a little oil over it, rubbing it gently. The two men guided Nikki down, spreading her legs wide open. Suddenly, Nikki realised what was about to happen as Karl leant back on his arms and took hold of his cock, trying to judge where he should sit for entry. "No! Oh, please, no!" she shouted, writhing on the ropes as she sunk lower and lower towards his stiff pole. "Shut up, little slut" said one of the men. "Shall I teach her another lesson?" asked Suzy. "Do you need more punishment?" asked Karl, pulling back on Nikki's hair so that she looked round at him. "No, please, no more" she cried, tears once again running down her cheeks. Karl's cock spread her cheeks apart as her head shot backwards. She screamed as he guided his shaft into her anus and then nodded at Suzy. She dropped the whip and straddled Nikki, facing her, slowly lowering herself onto Nikki's lap. A piercing scream filled the air. The best man looked up from his mundane ministrations as Lauren turned to see what had happened. To her horror, she saw Suzy caressing Nikki's breasts as she sat on her lap. Initially, she was unaware of Karl underneath, but as he started to pump, and Nikki rose to lessen the effect of his thrusting, Lauren saw the glint of his cock. After several minutes, Karl pulled her hair back once again so that she lay flat on top of his stomach. Suzy jumped off Nikki as one of the older men took his position in front of her, guiding his cock into her greased pussy. The sound from Nikki hardly changed as he started to pump away, his flesh wobbling as the muscles in his body received some unexpected exercise. Lauren's feelings turned from revulsion to panic as she realised that there were no rules anymore. Simone seemed to have disappeared along with the priest, and Suzy could no longer be counted on to assist them. With all three of them tied up, hungry, frightened beyond belief and in pain, she realised that she was unlikely to see her parents again. She closed her eyes and sobbed quietly. Suzy straddled Nikki's face so that she could see the old man pumping into Nikki's vagina, each stroke parting her black pubic hair and banging into her red raw buttocks. She tired of the view quickly, flipping round to watch the look on Nikki and Karl's faces while she played with Nikki's rounded breasts. "I've got a present for you, little one" she said in a teasing tone. Nikki opened her eyes and looked to her left then right, trying to see what punishment was about to be administered to her. But it came from above, a hot jet of urine from Suzy's little pussy lips that hit her face, causing a searing pain as it splashed onto her injuries. Both girls screamed, Nikki in excruciating pain while Suzy almost danced with glee, directing the hot jet with her fingers, seeking out Nikki's mouth. The old man came forcefully inside her, his rhythm interrupted as he slammed into her, Nikki spluttered against the stream of piss, her eyes tightly closed again as she struggled to find a way of keeping it from her mouth and nose. "Hey, try it out!" laughed Karl as he pinched Nikki's nostrils together. Nikki shook her head hard, trying to shake him off, but he held her tightly and she was forced to breath through her mouth, swallowing mouthfuls of Suzy's steaming urine. She coughed loudly, choking as she tried to breath and swallow as the drenching continued. "Up!" commanded Karl as the old man noisily withdrew his cock from her swollen vagina. Suzy jumped off Nikki and helped to pull down on the ropes. They hoisted Nikki off Karl's cock, her face screwed up tight in pain as she got to her feet and her arms were raised higher and higher once again. "I didn't come. I need to!" shouted Karl at the congregation. Some of them smiled at his dilemma, though most of the continued to taunt the girls. Rebecca appeared to be completely silent, swaying on the ropes, her legs almost together and her full breasts steady against her chest. A trace of blood trickled over her left buttock from a red raw mark across her lower back. "Why not wait `til Lauren's ceremony. You could have her after Father Michael!" suggested Suzy, wiping herself on one of the robes on the floor. "I wonder where he's gone?" "Probably screwing Sister Winifred. She's so gorgeous!" said Karl. "What, nicer than me?" asked Suzy, pouting. "No, maybe not!" he said, tweaking her nipples. They walked over to the food tables and ferreted around, loading their plates with meat and salad. With their food in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, they made their way back to the bench seats and sat down to eat and watch. An older woman wandered across to the TV monitor and fiddled with the video player. The screen showed snow once again, and then the interior of a bathroom. Lauren lay on the altar, shaking from the fear of her unknown fate and the falling temperature in the barn. She could see her breath now in the bright candle light, and as she turned to look at the screen, she realised that once again her trust had been betrayed. She hardly registered any shock this time, more a quiet resignation that there was probably more film of her engaged in sexual activities yet to come, more evidence that those she had trusted - and loved - had only done so for their own amusement. She saw Kristal enter the bathroom, and from the camera position up in the ceiling could just see her turning on the taps and checking the temperature of the water. The film cut to a shot of Kristal leading her into the bathroom, and then showed her sitting down in the water between her legs. Within minutes it seemed that she was between Kristal's legs, leaning back on her lovely breasts, kissing passionately as the warm water swirled around them. Chapter 37 It was almost half past one when the cars rounded the final bend and drove slowly past the train station. The majority of houses were darkened and Maurice slowed down to almost a crawl to ensure they didn't miss the turning. "Here! Here!" whispered Mike, pointing to his right. Maurice drove past, looking for any signs of life, almost hitting the steep bank that formed the edge of the field. "It looks more like a farm than a house, not really what I had imagined." said Maurice, searching for somewhere to turn the car. "I'll jump out and get Jim. We can do the same again." said Mike, opening the door. "OK. Be careful" The two boys crouched down by the bank on the side of the road, letting their eyes adjust to the darkness. "Looks like there's a long track up the house" whispered Jim. "We could go up there, or go over the fields over there to the left" "Let's go over the fields, just in case a car comes. There's no way off the road because of the fencing" "Fine, come on!" said Jim, hunched low as he swung athletically over the barbed wire. He landed in long grass and patchy snow. A dog barked in the distance as Mike joined him, the boys making their way quickly in a slight circle towards the house. They looked back and could not longer see the cars. To their right was an large chalet with a central front door. Mike felt Jim grab his arm, and they stopped, lying low in the grass. "I don't see any lights, except for that one right up there" said Jim, pointing to the third floor of the house. "Yeah, but we need to keep going. I get the feeling that this is the place" They continued on the course staying in the shadows, until they were level with the house and about fifty meters from it. "Hey, there's a barn" said Mike. "Yeah, you're right, and I see lights" "I can hear music" "Shit, this must be it. We need to get closer!" They crept slowly towards the side of the barn, grimacing as they crunched over the gravel driveway. Four or five cars were parked neatly beside the barn and they offered some cover as the boys approached the windows. "Oh fuck! Look. There's Nikki. Shit, she's tied up!" said Mike. "We can't get them out on our own. Let's get back, quickly." said Jim, pulling at his sleeve. They took in as many of the details as possible and crawled back into the shadows. They backtracked towards the road, and were back in Andre's car within five minutes. "OK, I saw Nikki. She's tied up, and doesn't have any clothes on" "I saw another older girl with ginger hair, also tied up. She wasn't moving, though" added Jim. "Rebecca! What about Lauren?" asked Maurice. "I couldn't see her" replied Mike, shaking his head. "How many people were in there?" asked Maurice, his face visibly pale in the light from the car's instruments. He glanced at Andre. "Not sure, but not many, maybe ten, twelve." replied Jim. "What was happening?" asked Andre. "She was crying, I think she was sitting on a man and I saw another girl close by." said Jim. "Mr Gisal?" "Yes, Jim" "I don't think we have much time" Maurice looked at him for the first time that evening. "OK, here's what we do" he said. He looked towards the house as he laid out his plan of attack. Chapter 38 Lauren was brought back to the horror of the real world as the door creaked behind her at the far end of the barn. She turned her head painfully to see Simone appear in the gloom and head towards the altar. "Ah, yes, the lovely Kristal." said Simone, watching the video. "She must have seduced more girls than anyone I've ever known - including me!" she smiled, trailing her fingers lightly from Lauren's head, over her breasts and down between her legs. She pushed her middle finger into Lauren's pussy, withdrew and brought it up to her mouth, tasting it with the tip of her tongue. "Beautiful, I'll never forget the taste!" "Simone, please let us go now. Please. We won't tell, I promise!" cried Lauren, shaking once again, feeling the pain in her legs now her toes were numb from lack of blood and the general cold of the night. "I'm afraid, my little one, that you are right." said Simone, watching the screen as Kristal washed her. Simone copied Kristal by pushing her finger into Lauren's anus. "You're right. You won't tell anyone!" Lauren hardly moved, her mind busily analysing Simone's words. The door creaked again. "No!" said Nikki with what little energy she had left. Her eyes were fixed on the priest and the small cushion that he carried in his right hand. The knife once again glistened even in the dim red lights. He held the whip in his other hand, upright and ready for action. The congregation fell silent, their activities curtailed as he silently encouraged them back to their seats. Rebecca hardly moved, registering very little of the new threat to her as she dangled painfully from the ropes, her feet trailing behind her. Her skin was pale, cold no doubt, but a sickly colour that indicated more than a drop in external temperature. The shape of her young breasts was marred by her ruined hair that hung lifelessly from her head, obscuring the nipples. Lauren twisted round to see the priest and noticed, as he rattled the whip between Rebecca's legs, that she too had defecated. "Dirty Bitch. You'll clean that all up later!" he snarled, heading straight for Lauren. "Ladies and Gentlemen!" said the priest, smiling at the congregation. "Lauren stated this evening that she wishes to join our church. That she shall do, forever. She will join us for all eternity by allowing her soul to join all those others who cannot be with us today!" he said in a sing-song voice, skipping over the syllables as he played with the words. Lauren needed to hear no more to comprehend her situation. "Oh, please! Oh, Jesus, please no!" she shouted, twisting and turning, trying to find sympathy in the crowd of on-lookers. She jerked against the ropes that held her feet up in the air, hoping to shake them loose somehow. She strained at the bonds that held her arms outstretched until the ropes again cut into her wrists. She could feel them stinging as they bit into her raw flesh, her eyes now fixed on the knife that was balanced carefully on the cushion as the Priest stood to her left. "Enough preparation!" said the Priest above Lauren's screams. "Just look at you in this film, you look like you really enjoyed Kristal" he said, watching as she turned Lauren round and pushed a soapy finger into her anus. "Please, let us go. Please sir!" pleaded Lauren, her face contorted with fear as she desperately struggled to free herself. "Sister Winifred, friends, let's all take out positions" he said. The crowd gathered round the altar, obscuring Lauren's view of Nikki and Rebecca. The two old women began to remove the priests robe, again unbuttoning it from the bottom upwards. They took their time, making sure he enjoyed it as they ran their hands over his legs. They were clearly delighted, giggling like schoolgirls, as his cock began to poke out from beneath the material, the heavy round head bobbing up and down is it gained in girth. Simone was being similarly prepared by the older men, who pulled at the belt around her silky kimono, letting the two sides fall apart to reveal her silken thighs and neatly trimmed black pubic hair. They rose to their feet slowly, taking the kimono over her shoulders, leaving her naked at Lauren's head. Karl and Suzy took their places either side of her, disrobing as well so that all three of their firm, aroused young bodies were at Lauren's head. She looked around wildly, pleading for her life, desperate to find a friend amongst the congregation. She now realised that Nikki had been correct in identifying Simone as the girl Jane in the film she had found in the hotel, correct in her prediction about the ending, and tragically correct about the danger that this girl posed to them all. Karl's cock pointed directly at her left cheek, while she could see Suzy's little pussy at about eye level to her right, the shape of the lips of her pussy quite clear, covered only by the lightest of downy hair around the upper part of her lips and above her clitoris. "Yes, Lauren, you could have had more of me, if you had been a better girl!" she said, clearly aware that Lauren was looking between her legs. "Your soul for the church!" said Simone. "Your soul for the church" she repeated, looking up at the congregation. They joined the chant, their enthusiasm increasing as more and more people took up the rhythm. Simone climbed onto the lower bale of straw, her magnificent body, her firm breasts, her moist pussy all within view as the two older women took hold of the priests stiff cock and guided it once more towards Lauren's vagina. Lauren saw a gold bucket, it's handles twinkling in the light, being passed around the crowd, to be finally placed by the side of the altar. She looked down to see a dark liquid in the bottom, swirling around in the bottom like runny treacle. Karl poured a little into a golden chalice and stood up, offering the bowl to Simone. The party continued with their chant, "Your soul for the church!" The priest started to move backwards and forwards in time with their words, his cock edging along Lauren's inner thighs as he neared his target. Simone took the chalice in two hands and offered it upwards. As she lowered it, she poured the red liquid over Lauren, starting at her cheeks, and moving downwards over her breasts, stomach and finally over her thighs. If Lauren had had the power of rational thought, she would have found it strange that the blood was still warm. All she could manage was to recognise the liquid because of its smell, and feel her stomach turn somersaults in disgust as she involuntarily tried to vomit. "Your soul for the church, Your soul for the church!" The tip of the priest's cock touched her bloody inner lips as someone tipped a generous amount of Baby Oil over his shaft and along Lauren's reddened pussy. Her shrieks were clearly beginning to irritate the priest and could be heard easily above the rhythmic chanting of the others. He withdrew and ran his finger over her pubic mound to pick up some of the excess oil. He forcefully pushed two fingers into her anus, withdrew and pushed again, delighting at the gasp and the end of her defiance. Lauren felt dizzy as her mind tried desperately to work out some kind of escape route while blotting out the assault on her body and her final moments in the world. The priest nodded at Simone. The crowd were silent. "Brethren, tonight we have another young girl who wishes to immortalise our movement." said Simone as the best man offered her the knife resting on the cushion. She clutched the jeweled handle, turning it in her hand with admiration. "Let us wish her well, and confirm our belief that we will see her again on the other side." Simone raised the knife in both hands as Lauren screamed, her voice giving way to a loud croak. Simone took a deep breath. "No, take me instead!" shouted another voice from inside the barn. Simone stopped, looked over the heads of the congregation in the direction of the other two girls. "Who was that?" she demanded. "Me, do it to me!" cried Nikki, straining at the ropes. "I want you all to fuck me, now, tonight, then do it to me! Please, just let her go!" she shouted defiantly. Simone turned back to the congregation, looked at the priest and then back at the others around her. Suzy smiled, looking at Karl. "What about both?" asked Simone. "Are you crazy?" asked one of the older men. "One is difficult enough!" "Yeah, why any at all?" said the Priest, slowly pushing deeper into Lauren. "Why do we have to do this again. We could just use them and then dump them drugged up?" "Look, we've been through this before!" said Simone irritably, stroking Lauren's cheeks with the knife. "How about we finish using them all, then dispose of this one, and then go home?" asked one of the women. "Hey, let's get this straight. This is the ultimate ceremony. It's the will of the church, and the order of service is pre-defined!" she said tersely. "Now, two of them can be dumped later. Which one do we use now?" Conversations developed between members of the congregation, much to the bewilderment and pain of Lauren. She cried, sobbing and sniffing as they casually debated her future. Periodically, one or two of them would turn round and examine Nikki, sometimes Rebecca, balancing their relative merits as they tried to arrive at a decision. "OK, I've heard enough. We'll proceed on the path that fate has already defined for us." She returned to her position behind and above Lauren, giving her a perfect view of her vagina, now opened to reveal her glinting clitoris and the wonderful folds of her inner pussy. "Your soul for the church! Your soul for the church!" she shouted enthusiastically, waving her arms in encouragement. They picked up the chant once again, the volume rising along with the pitch as the service drew towards its climax. The priest pushed hard into her, splitting her once more as his cock invaded, pushing the sides of her vagina further than ever before. Lauren arched her back, the blood running in different directions as she raised her chest towards Simone, closer to the brightly jeweled dagger that pointed menacingly down at her young body. Cramp had set in to her splayed legs, making her squirm in agony as she tried to relax her muscles. She focused on the bright knife, marveling at how clean and shiny it was as she suddenly became aware of the runny filth that was oozing out of her anus, unstoppable as it took its warm course between the cheeks of her bottom and over her white stockings and the sheet below. Lauren dearly hoped she would faint, hoped that maybe the ceiling would fall on top of her, anything to blank out the unimaginable pain she was about to experience as Simone steadied herself for the fatal plunge. She almost laughed as she realised that far from seeing her life fly past as she might have imagined, she was admiring the bobbing movement of Simone's breasts against the red and white lights that shone down from above. The beginning of the end came swiftly, as the sound of the crowd grew, their shouts, chants and cat-calls became louder. She suspected that some of them had jumped up onto the benches to get a better look as one or two of them seemed to fall off, knocking the priest and causing him to plunge all the way inside her. The ropes around her ankles dug into her skin, restricting her movement as the full weight of the man pushed against her. She screamed at the pain, the total pain, that blotted out every other sense that might have been working at the time. But something had disturbed the congregation and they seemed to be dispersing, but not in an orderly fashion. She felt the priest pull out quickly. She could hear shouting, raised, angry voices that drowned out the remainder of the chanting. She heard footsteps, people running. She saw the knife fall to the floor just as the television went crashing over. She felt alone, abandoned as people ran around her, then she heard her name, shouted by a familiar voice. "Lori? Lori, where are you?" "Here! I'm here! Help, oh for fuck's sake help!" she cried. Lauren recognised the shape of his curly hair against the lights in the barn. She cried with joy, flinching when she remembered how she looked, the smell, the ropes and her injuries. "Lori, is this you?" asked Jim, incredulously. "Please, just take me out of here, hurry for fuck's sake!" she pleaded, her head darting from side to side as she searched for any evidence of the priest or Simone. Jim pulled at the knots, undoing her ankles carefully. She heard her father somewhere in the distance, shouting loudly, swearing she thought at someone in the back of the barn. The voice of her brother was also somewhere, shouting obscenities at the church- goers. The music played on, masking some of the shouts and crashes as fighting broke out around the girls. "Oh, Jim, please hurry! Don't let them kill us!" She turned to see Nikki's father cutting her down from the ceiling and covering her in his raincoat. She looked around wildly, trying to prepare for any attempt to stop their escape. Jim bent down to undo the ropes around Lauren's wrists, her legs now flat on the altar. "Lori, look out!" shouted Nikki. Lauren turned at the same time as Jim and saw the flash of the knife. Naked, Simone ran towards her, the knife held above her head, the red lights gleaming in her face. The blade descended as if in slow motion, towards her chest. Jim sprung up, raising his hand to intercept the knife, pushing her off balance so that it missed Lauren but skewered his hand to the straw bale. In anger, he kicked Simone full in the groin, sending her tumbling backwards, knocking into the candle holders. One fell with a ringing noise, knocking into another. She crawled into the gloom and through the back stairs, screaming in pain as she clutched herself between her legs. "Pull the goddamn knife out, quickly!" he shouted at Lauren, his eyes rolling in his head as the pain set in. She leant down and took hold of the handle, pulling it quickly upwards. He leaned back against the altar, his face a ghostly white as he wrapped a handkerchief around his wound. Unsteadily, he made his way round to the other side to undo the final knot. Looking around all the time for further attackers, he ripped a cloth off the food table and draped it around Lauren, pulling her up so that she was supported by his right arm. Nikki was already out through the door in her father's arms as Lauren and Jim picked their way through the splintered wood. Lauren's legs refused to work properly and she stumbled regularly. Smoke was now billowing up from the straw bales where the candles had set them alight. Lauren could just see the shattered door, crumpled under the force of the car they had used as a battering ram. The radiator hissed loudly as she threaded her way along the side of the wreckage, Jim's arm holding her tight. "Rebecca, don't forget her" she sobbed, retching violently as the cold night air took her breath away. Her father was right behind her, looking around the smoke-filled barn. "Lori, are you OK?" he said, adjusting the cloth to cover her breasts. "I'm OK, Rebecca's over there. They want to kill everyone!" "God, you look terrible. Can you walk OK? The car's nearby!" he said, the anger and concern scarcely concealed by the billowing smoke. Jim cursed as the fire spread rapidly and flames lapped around the door. "For God's sake, I'm OK! Rebecca. Make sure she's OK too!" she croaked as the world spun round. She saw the ground coming towards her rapidly as blood rushed to her head, and felt strong arms around her as her world blacked out. Back in the barn, the crackle of the fire competed with the music. Mike managed to cut down Rebecca. She lay where she had fallen with the ropes over her battered body. He tried in vain to pick her up, but resorted to pulling her by her arms to the shattered doors, ignoring her cries as splinters of wood dug into her body. With less than two metres to go, the best man appeared with a broken wine bottle, threatening him menacingly as he crouched in front of him, half-naked except for his open robe. He was young but had slow reactions and no idea about using a bottle as a weapon. Mike side-stepped an attempt to slash his face and kicked at his hand, causing the bottle to fly into the air. He parried a punch to his face and grabbed hold of the little boy's hair, pulling him to the ground before letting go and kicking him hard in the jaw. Mike gathered up Rebecca and pulled her again, struggling to get her through the gap in the blazing doors. He pulled harder, the unconscious girl scraping against the jagged wood as he tried to maneuver her weight. He coughed harshly as the smoke that had filled the ceiling slowly descended, blocking out the light. Mike realised that their attempts were futile, and that he neither the time nor the strength to get the girl through the opening in the huge black doors. He turned round, leaving Rebecca on the floor, and raced towards the other end of the barn. The rear door opened easily to reveal a blackened passageway. The air smelled sweeter that in the barn and a slight fraught registered on his face. His concern about finding people lurking in the darkness was overshadowed by his need to get Rebecca and himself out of the blazing barn and to safety. He ran back to Rebecca and picked her up with new-found strength. Picking his way cautiously between the burning bales of hay and the smoldering furniture, he carried the naked girl into the passageway and shut the door, gasping for breath in the blackness of his surroundings. Creaking from the joists added to his fear and expectation that he would be attacked at any minute, assaulted by an invisible assailant, unable to defend himself. With his left hand, he inched his way along the passage, feeling the featureless wooden walls. The cobbled floor gave way after a few meters to concrete, and he continued slowly, buoyed by the success of his escape from the blaze. Suddenly, he encountered a step in the floor and plunged headfirst onto the floor. He failed to protect Rebecca from the fall and she banged her head loudly on the ground as she fell from his arms. He held his knee as the pain seared through his body as he cursed his stupidity for failing to think about steps. Squeaking mice scurried over his feet, panicked by the smoke and flames. making his skin crawl as he thought what else might be lurking down there. Leaving Rebecca on the ground, he followed the passageway again, finding two more steps and then a doorway. He ran his hands over the wood, finding at last the catch. He pushed hard and was rewarded by the smell of fresh air and the sight of the stars above. He returned to the darkness, scooped the naked girl back up and left the barn, making his way back round to the front, still watchful in case of further attacks. As he rounded the back of the barn, he laid Rebecca on the ground away from the blazing barn and looked towards the house. He could see his sister and the others on the driveway, heading for the car. He picked her up carefully and made his way towards them. Chapter 39 As her senses slowly returned, Lauren opened her eyes and saw the seat belts above her. She felt limbs over her stomach and smelt human faeces, urine, sweat and vomit. Instantly, she bolted upright and screamed loudly, tearing at the arms and legs on top of her as she pulled wildly at the door handle. Firm hands gripped her, pulling her back towards the seat, pushing her head down, back into the reeking flesh. "Hey, it's OK. Keep your head down until we've got through the village!" said a voice. "No, no more, please! Please let me go home!" she cried, sobbing, her chest heaving as she gulped in the sordid air. Her limbs ached and refused to respond to her commands. "It's us, it's OK. Your Dad's here. Nikki's in the front with her Dad. Rebecca's beside you!" Lauren's head was swimming. She heard all the things that she had wanted to hear since everything seemed to go wrong. Familiar voices, the movement of the car, the touch of Jim as he stroked her hair all consoled her. But she couldn't bring herself to believe that they were out of danger. "Hey, Lori, we're all with you. Not far to go now" said Mike, patting her leg. "I'm going to be sick, I think." "We can't stop, not until we're well away from this village. You'll be fine, don't worry anymore" said her father, looking to his side as he saw Nikki, naked, curled up in the well of the front seat, her open wounds bleeding as her father tried to shield her from the movement of the car. She screamed occasionally as she rested her head between her father's legs, her eyes a dreadful red, her blonde hair now a matted mess over her face. Lauren realised that the car smelt dreadful and that even with the windows open, she felt ill. She began to retch again, shivering in the cold night air as she hung out of the window. She collapsed back onto the seat, hugging herself with her arms around her stomach as she tried to control the spasms. She looked into the mirror to see her father looking at her, tears rolling down his cheeks. She held a hand over her mouth, breathing deeply to try and halt the movement in her stomach. Slowly, the crying, retching and screaming subsided, at least enough for Lauren to fall asleep, entangled between Rebecca's legs, both girl's receiving the attention of Jim's soothing touch. Rebecca was silent all the way, even when they eventually stopped for petrol she remained curled up on the back seat, her face buried in the corner, her back exposed to the moonlight, dried blood giving away the awful secrets of her wedding day. "I'm going to telephone ahead. They need to be prepared for this. I suggest everyone sleeps at our house for tonight. Sound reasonable?" said Maurice, looking at Andre. "Fine, we can get some more beds round from our house, but I think you're right." "OK, I'll pay for this petrol and call Daniele and Jean." The car was silent as all three girls slept. Maurice returned, nodded glumly at Andre, and rejoined the road back to Andleburg. Forty minutes later, they pulled up in front of Lauren's house. Daniele ran from the front door. "The first thing they need is a bath, then a good night's sleep. Is Doctor Bonner on his way?" asked Maurice. "Yes. How are they? Where's Lori?" "She's asleep. She's very jumpy and had a few nightmares on the way home" Daniele was joined by Jean, the two women gently lifting their daughters from the car and carrying them into the house. They both cried almost immediately as they saw the two girls. "Jean, you use the bathroom at the top of the stairs, I'll use the one in our bedroom" "Oh thanks! "Good God, who could have done such a thing? Maurice, did you catch any of them. They should die for this!" she sobbed, anger rising in her voice as she entered the hallway. Maurice and Andre gathered rags and bleach from the kitchen and headed back to the cars. Mike and Jim helped. Nobody spoke. Indoors, the two girls were bathed and dressed in clean oversized T- shirts. Lauren managed to pull her knickers on without help, but Nikki found bending impossible and had to be helped by her mother. To everyone's surprise, they both sounded quite chirpy after a hot drink and some biscuits. They stayed up long enough for Andre and Maurice to set up a second bed in Lauren's room for Nikki, and for Dr Bonner to arrive. He spoke to Maurice and Daniele first downstairs, and then clumped up the stairs with his old black medical bag in his hand, knocked quietly and entered the room. Lauren smiled at him, but found it difficult to look him in the eyes. She watched him set his bag down on top of the schoolbooks on her desk. He sat on the end of the bed. "What has happened to you tonight will be punished in due course, I am sure. But we must make sure that if there is any possibility of you having been injured internally, that we get that sorted out right away." He nodded as he spoke as though agreeing with himself. "In a couple of days time, you should both come and see me at the surgery. Before that, though, you should rest as much as possible. I need to examine you both. Who wants to go first? It'll only take one minute" he said smiling as he turned to his bag. "I'll go first" said Lauren, putting her drink beside her bed. "Good, stand on the floor here and we'll do a quick check" he said, pulling her towards him. He lifted her T-Shirt and pressed his fingers carefully into her abdomen, listening and watching her face as he explored her stomach. "Turn round" Lauren turned to face Nikki, smiling slightly as he checked her ribs and listened to her breathing through his stethoscope. "Fine. Now lie down on the bed and we'll just take your knickers down a little way." "No, no please don't!" said Lauren, moving away from him. Signs of terror returned to her face as she watched every move of his hands. "Lauren, I've seen injuries like yours before. I must make sure that you make a full recovery." He waited for a few seconds and then helped her to lie down on the bed. He checked her legs and then slipped her knickers down to her knees as she looked away. "Oh dear, they were very brutal with you. Now, I'm going to check your vagina and make sure that it's not inflamed. This might be a little uncomfortable but don't worry." he said, parting her legs slightly to allow the light to fall over her swollen pussy lips. He touched around her vagina, moving the lips apart gently. Nikki sat up slightly, no doubt wanting to know what he was going to do to her. Lauren squirmed as he looked at her, wishing he would finish as she had no idea how she looked between her legs. "Who did this to you? Men or women?" he asked looking in turn at Lauren and Nikki as he took a swab from just inside her. He allowed Lauren to bring her legs together as he slipped the swab into a plastic bag. "Mainly men, but there were two or three women there helping" replied Nikki, pulling the blankets around her tighter. "Do you remember their names?" he asked, pulling Lauren's knickers back into place. "No, I think one was Karl. Then there was Father Michael and Sister Winifred." said Nikki. "Sister Winifred is really someone called Simone. I've been to where she works." said Lauren, returning to her bed. "Nikki, let's try and do the same with you. I know it hurts, so just lie flat on the bed. Who else was there?" he asked as Nikki turned awkwardly and slowly laid down on the sheets. He pulled the blankets away from her prodding Nikki's stomach. "Any pain there?" he asked. "No, not really." "How did people escape then?" "We're not sure. Maybe they ran into the mountains, or left by car" said Lauren as she watched Nikki lying on the bed. Dr Bonner pulled her knickers down to her knees and felt her vagina, moving her knickers slowly to her feet as he parted her legs. "Does that hurt?" he asked quietly, touching her lips. "No, not really" said Nikki, her face contorted with pain. "What about here?" He pushed against her anus. "Ow! Yes. Please don't!" she cried, covering her face with her hands as she sobbed. "OK, OK, I'm going to put some cream on you just to soothe the pain a little." He took a sample from around her vagina and stored it away in the bag with the sample from Lauren for analysis later. Retrieving a tube of antiseptic cream from his case, he squeezed a little onto his fingers, gently massaging her inflamed anus for several minutes before wiping the excess away with a tissue. He pulled her knickers back over her hips. "There. Now, you were telling me about Suzy and Karl, I think" "Er, yes." said Lauren slowly. "They escaped with the others. Simone might be hurt because she was hit by Jim and my Dad." "OK, now I'm going to give you a slight sedative to help you sleep, and I'll be back tomorrow to check on you." He offered them both some medication from his bag and made sure they took it while he watched. "Good night." "Night. Thanks" said Lauren, lying down and pulling the covers up to her chin. Satisfied that there had been no internal injuries, he left and rejoined the two women to give them advice on how to dress their daughter's wounds, telling them that any detailed investigation could wait until the girls had slept and felt more secure. He added that he would have to contact the police and would be making out his report the next day. Maurice and Jean went quickly back upstairs to rejoin their daughters, while Maurice stared at the carpet in the lounge, digesting the doctor's words. Dr Bonner left, shutting the door behind him. His face was pale and Maurice knew that what he had seen had left him visibly shaken. He got up to watch through the lounge window as he returned to his car, shaking his head. Maurice headed upstairs, his feet heavy as he recalled bundling Lauren and Rebecca into the back of the car. He knew he would never forget the sight of their tiny bodies, their wounds spilling blood, their screams filling the night as he pushed them roughly into the small back seat, desperate to flee. He recalled how his daughter had felt, her bones sticking out beneath her breasts, and how his hands were covered in excrement as he gripped the steering wheel and drove away. He would never forget either the smell on the way home as the foul air wafted around the car, the stench increasing as the girls finally lost all control of themselves. He reached the top of the stairs and knocked on Lauren's door. "OK if I come in?" "Yep, of course!" said Daniele "Where's Rebecca, Mummy?" asked Lauren, sitting up in bed. She wore a big dressing gown and clutched a mug of hot milk. The legacy of her fearful evening still showed in her red eyes, her scratched and torn nails, her bandaged wrists. The smell of disinfectant pervaded. "She had to go to the hospital" replied Jean, knowing that Daniele's opinion of the neighbours had changed overnight. "Why, was she injured badly? She didn't say much on the way home I don't think" "Honey, there's nobody to look after her. Her mum and dad have gone somewhere" "Where?" asked Nikki. "Nobody knows." said her mother. "The police are looking for them now. Why don't you two curl up and get some rest? We'll both be downstairs, and Daddy and I are staying over here tonight, so don't worry!" "Mummy, where's Jim?" asked Lauren. "He's gone to the hospital to have his hand looked at, and then he's going to stay at Nikki's house for the night." "He saved my life in the barn, you know" said Lauren meekly. "He's a wonderful young man." said her mother as she kissed her daughter on the cheek. She left with Daniele, leaving the door slightly ajar so that a little light shone into the room from downstairs. "And so did you." said Lauren, leaning over to the adjoining bed to kiss Nikki. "Oh, I don't know what would have happened." said Nikki, grimacing as she moved. "If you hadn't shouted when you did, I know that bitch would have killed me. I just know it." "So where's Rebecca's parents?" asked Nikki, looking out of the window. "There aren't any lights on next door" "It's weird. Perhaps they've gone to the hospital?" "But they don't know that Rebecca's there!" Nikki reminded her. "God, did you see how that man whipped her. It must have been for ten minutes" They lay in the moonlit room in silence, each with their own thoughts. Lauren's throat was sore from crying. She felt that further tears were not far away and turned to Nikki. "I'm glad you're staying here tonight" she said. "I'm glad too." said Nikki, reaching out for her. Downstairs, Daniele had flopped down on the sofa next to Maurice, holding his hand in her own. "I think they'll take many months, if not years, to recover from this" he said as he pulled her closer to him. Her tears began once again as she shook her head. "How can people be so sick?" she asked, sniffing as she looked at the ceiling, a tiny handkerchief in her hand. "At least they're alive" said Andre. "Of course they're alive! Why do you say that?" asked Jean, accusingly. "Jean, we haven't told you everything that we think happened there." said Andre, breathing in deeply. "When we arrived, we think that they were about to kill Lori - they were about to stab her. They were all tied up, naked. Each of the girls." "Oh God, no!" cried Daniele, holding her head in her hands. "I think they've seen and had things done to them that we can only imagine. They haven't just been raped by a few men. They've been tortured, we think, for almost twelve hours." There was silence, broken eventually by Daniele's quiet voice. "They had shaved off Lori's hair, you know, between her legs, and she was covered in blood from somewhere. I had to change the bathwater twice before she was really clean." Jean joined in. "Nikki said that a man had forced his thing into her bottom. She's in great pain and can hardly sit down. She hasn't stopped shaking since she got back here. And the whip marks, or whatever they used. I've never seen anything like it, not even in newspapers!" "Believe me, Rebecca's were worse, much worse. We'll have to tell all this to the police. They'll want to interview the girls and we must make sure that a woman officer does that." said Maurice. "That's a good idea. What time do we have to see them tomorrow?" asked Daniele. "Nine o'clock." said Andre, looking at his watch "They'll come here. I'd like to know where Claude and Celestine are tonight. There's something strange going on!" They talked for half an hour before Daniele offered to go and make coffee for everyone. They had decided that one of them should stay awake at all times during the night starting at about two o'clock. Dr Bonner had hoped that with their medication, they might sleep through until about midday. Daniele looked in the fridge and decided that although she should have been hungry, there was nothing that she really felt like eating. She grabbed four cups and then filled the kettle with water. As she turned off the tap, a scream filled the house, jarring her nerves and making her drop the kettle in the sink. She ran from the kitchen to see Jean already half way up the stairs. As they snapped the light on outside Lauren's room, she saw her daughter curled up in a ball on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably as Nikki looked down at her, eyes filled with tears as she sat on the bed, shaking. "Lori, come on, love. It's OK, it's all over. You're safe with us, back in your own little bed." Daniele helped her back onto the bed, and then under the covers. Lauren retched and held her stomach in an effort to suppress the inclination to be sick. She lost the battle, and threw the covers off her as she raced for the bathroom, vomit dripping from between her fingers. The two women looked at each other, suppressing their own urges to burst into tears. The remainder of the night comprised of short periods of sleep and sudden screams from the girls' bedroom as they relived again and again the events of the night. Their parents slept in two hour shifts, although everyone woke instantly at the sound of the screaming. By four in the morning, nerves were beginning to get strained. As the scale of the terror and pain that the girls must have been subjected to sank in, tempers flared and anger rose inside to the point where Maurice and Andre even considered going back to the barn and hunting down the perpetrators. Maurice eventually decided however that some cool air was warranted, and so he took a walk outside in the road to continue his thoughts on his own. He was proud of his efforts to rescue the girls and was quite convinced that a few minutes later would have produced a tragic ending. He thought of Mike, and how he had avoided much of the discussion about his sister's sexual activity. He was pleased that he was so protective about her although in retrospect it could have seriously affected their ability to locate the girls. Maurice had no ideas though when it came to Rebecca's parents, and how they could have disappeared after they had been told that their daughter was in danger. He wandered along the pavement, up towards the mountains, and sat on a small wooden seat at the edge of the forest. The moon illuminated much of the valley below, the stars twinkling over the grey snow-capped peaks of the Alps. He sat for almost an hour before making his way back down the hill. It was still dark as he approached the house, too dark to drive without lights on. He therefore failed to see the figure in the trees on the opposite side of the road, and had no idea that she had seen him leave the house earlier. He had no idea that a few hours earlier, he had caught a glimpse of the woman naked, her beautiful breasts pointing upward, her wet, cum-soaked vagina pouting between her long tanned legs in anticipation of the liberation of his daughter's soul. He had no idea that his daughter had on two occasions made love to her, had been photographed naked with her, had happily licked her inner thighs while a man's cock pounded into her tight vagina, and had been seduced by her teenage girlfriend. That night marked the beginning of the vigil.
