Tehr smiled,<strong>"Well, starting tonight you shall no longer be bound to hear such joyous celebrations and lay unwanted and alone.  I suppose I should mention that in this house there is a standing rule.  An open door, with lovers engaged in carnal acts beyond, is an invitation.  Should you hear the sounds of passion, and find a door cracked open, it is an invitation to join in with those beyond said door.  Conversly we ask that you respect the privacy of a closed door, and never speak of any acts which happen under this roof other than with those who live here.  Many of our members have taken to each other's beds at night, and I admit I look forwards to your visit, when you are ready and feel comfortable doing so.  But that all acts in this house are voluntary, we suffer no acts forced upon another."</strong><br/><br/>Tehr smiled and added,<strong>"Of course once play begins, if a partner wishes to submit and be ordered to please her master, that is of course a different matter."</strong><br/><br/>Carolyn seemed to blush again,<strong>"Alex told you?"</strong><br/><br/>Tehr nodded,<strong> "There is no shame in acting as the submissive in the bedroom if that is what you enjoy and I would judge no one for it.   But let us go now and rejoin our sisters before they mistakenly think that we are engaged in exactly those actions.  I'm sure that Alex is eager to catch up with you, show you around Hewthorne hall, and... well... whatever else."</strong>
