				<em>The sun was shining over the town of Aberwood.&nbsp; It was a lovely town, even by the most reserved judgement.&nbsp; Surounded by thick forest with an abundance of wildlife that seemed to be as far away as the end of your driveway.&nbsp; With a population of only 2,389 people, It was a sleepy place, filled with simple people who either worked at a small sawmill, in one of the few business that existed in the town (after all, everybody needs food and gas), or a few who mainly just lived off the land as their was plenty of game for those who knew how and where to find it.&nbsp; Aberwood was, in many ways, it's own little independent town.<br><br>Of course, it didn't mean that Aberwood was a stranger to tourist.&nbsp; While not a hot spot by any stretch, you would still get the occasional person who had Aberwood as a place for their summer vacation, or liked to visit for a good couple of days of hunting and camping.&nbsp; Maryland allowed for a variety of different types of terrain, and Aberwood seemed to have all of them.<br><br>For the people who were coming into Aberwood today, it wasn't for fishing, or hiking or hunting.&nbsp; It was for a very special, private party.&nbsp; The road they would find would take them up above the town by thousands of feet.&nbsp; As they got closer, they would be able to see the house they were staying in.&nbsp; With a steep drop on the back, one they would see from the road as they made there way upwards, they would find the front had a brick wall around it, metal gates in the front.&nbsp; These gates were open already, a BMW parked in the front of the house, and a young man smoking a cigarette as he waited for the guests to arrive.&nbsp; &nbsp; </em><br><br>(http://www.yoyogames.com/extras/image/name/san2/291/301291/original/mansion.jpg)<br>

				Erik made his way along the road at a casual, relaxed pace, in a cherry red Ford pickup truck. A large metal can of SoBe No Fear sat in his cupholder, and occasionally, he picked it up and took a drink from it. Damn thing's gotten warm since he picked it up at the last gas station, which had been a town over; but he wasn't going to waste it.<br><br>In the back seat, a blanket was thrown over some things he had brought along; in a clean cardboard container sealed with plastic wrap, he had a few loaves of sourdough and acorn bread that he had baked himself just yesterday; his own sealed, air tight plastic packages of home made, seasoned deer jerky; and, because he also enjoyed brewing things on his own, he had three bottles of liquor with him. Wild grape wine, wild berry wine, and mead. He brought these things along mostly to show off his skills; not only was he good at foraging and hunting, he was also good at making food from what he could gather.<br><br>Also in the back seat, but exposed, was a large dufflebag that had several changes of clothes, personal hygiene products, and other assorted things he'd need. <br><br>Oh, and their's a double barreled hunting shotgun in the back, too, unloaded and concealed like the food. Maryland state laws didn't require you have a permit to own or use a shotgun, and he was going to spend at least one day up here hunting; he enjoyed it too much, and this place was pretty damn good for that. It'd probably be after all the partying, though; he'd stay an extra day or two elsewhere in town.&nbsp; Their was also a box of 20 shotgun shells in the back there. <br><br>As he pulled up into the parking lot, he eyed the man that was already there, casually smoking and waiting.&nbsp; He parks his truck off to the side, wherever their's enough room for it and where it wouldn't be in the way of other guests arriving. He cuts off the engine, finishes off his drink, and steps out of the car. He shuts and locks the door, before heading over towards the other man. "Hey, man." He'd say in greeting, his voice having a tinge of a Maine accent to it.

				Natalie drove up the road to the house at a leisurely pace, enjoying the scenery and the clean feel of the air coming through the open window of her blue Scion.&nbsp; She was looking forward to the upcoming week, but she was also more than a little nervous, never having done anything like this before.&nbsp; She'd nearly decided not to come, being worried about her roommate and the problems she was going through, and what she would do if she somehow got into trouble and Natalie was gone, but in the end Natalie decided to go for it.&nbsp; A week wasn't that long, and it would give Sarah a chance to work through things without Natalie around to influence her.<br><br>She'd been sure to bring along everything that was on the list, excluding the alcohol, not sure of what to bring in that department, never having drank before, and hoping that if she did decide to try it, someone would be nice and share.&nbsp; She could always go and pick something up in town if she wanted, or rather have one of the legal people go do it for her.&nbsp; She doubted any store would sell to her, since she was under age by two years yet.<br><br>She pulled up to the house, pulling off to the side, but leaving room for the cars already parked to back out, not wanting to block anyone in.&nbsp; She saw there were already a couple of guys here, and she climbed out of the car, deciding to leave the luggage until later, when she knew if they'd be given rooms, or if they could just pick somewhere.<br><br>She gave a shy but pleasant smile to the guys as she came up to them, hoping she wasn't going to be the only girl here.&nbsp; "You guys mind if I join you?" she asked them, not wanting to butt in if they didn't want company.&nbsp; "This is a real pretty spot, a lot quieter than the city," she complimented, waiting to see if they'd mind the company.

				Ariana's drove her red 2011 Ford Mustang towards the house, where she would be spending the week.&nbsp; She was looking forward to it a great deal, though she had to admit that she was also a bit unsure about it.&nbsp; It wasn't as though she went out and did this all the time, but she new she needed it.&nbsp; Since she had started school her relationship with her boyfriend had gone down the tubes.&nbsp; That had been almost 6 months ago, and she'd had no desire to date anyone else since then.<br><br>In the back seat of her car she had a pair of bags packed with everything that had been listed on the invitation, not to mention a couple of books, though she didn't know how much time she would really be reading while she was here.&nbsp; <br><br>At last she arrived at the gates of manor, and she drove in with confidence towards where a couple of other cars we're already parked.&nbsp; There we're a couple of guys and one girl arlready here.&nbsp; Ariana wandered how many people would be coming.&nbsp; She hoped there would some variety.&nbsp; It would make the week more enjoyable, as long it wasn't too crowded.<br><br>Turning off the engine, she opened the door and approached the other people.&nbsp; She was dressed in a light blue tank top, and pair of tight blue jeans, with a white button up shirt hanking over her shoulders. She flashed a dazzling smile at the men as she approached looking the men up and down. "Well, it looks like I'm in the right place," she said teasingly.&nbsp;

				Rick drove up next in his battered old hatchback music blaring out the open windows. He had brought the essentials 10 cases of MGD, a four foot bong, a large bottle of Goldschlager, and an once of the best weed he could find.&nbsp; He was ready for an epic week of partying something to tell the guys back at the frat house all about.<br><br>&nbsp; Rick exited the car grabbing his old duffel bag that he had stuffed full of clothes and toiletries and slung it over his shoulder.&nbsp; He grinned at the others as he approached dressed in a black fighting cephalopods shirt and black jeans.&nbsp; "So where's the party" he asked his face lit up with excitement.<br><br>

				Sarah struggled with everything lately, life, boy friend (if she could call Mike that anymore after his hand turned into a fist one night and she had to cover the bruise for a week) and school.&nbsp; As she hid in the comfort of the hot shower and shaved slowly she contemplated canceling the car that would be in front of the dorm in an hour and had just made up her mind to do so when she looked down and found herself finishing off what he liked to call his "landing strip", leaving just a narrow stripe of light hair above her intimates.&nbsp; She struck her fist against the wall of the shower and decided to go.&nbsp; Natalie was gone, mumbling something about a vacation for the next week and Sarah knew if she stayed Mike would eventually find her and there would be trouble then.&nbsp; So it was with very little surprise that she found herself in the back of a plush black town car, speeding towards a house in a small town in Maryland.&nbsp; A suitcase of clothes, mostly ones Mike wanted her to wear when she would come to his fraternity, a bottle of tequila and her pride knowing she was trying to gain her life back even though it seemed like an odd way of doing so.<br><br>The house was high above the town and she thought that the people there seemed simple yet happy.&nbsp; Her parents would have looked out the window and down on them immediately and she always felt out of place whenever she was around them.&nbsp; As the car reached the driveway and turned in a wide circle to again point down the mountain she noticed the 5 people that were already in attendance.&nbsp; Then she saw the blue Scion and frowned.&nbsp; That looked _alot_ like Natalie's car.&nbsp; &nbsp;As the driver removed her single piece of luggage from the trunk and opened her door it was with a shocked smile as she looked at the group, including her roommate Natalie.&nbsp; Sarah tipped the man and thanked him before walking towards the group, her eyes including them all in her nervous smile but her eyes on Natalie as if questioning her.<br><br>Sarah was just an inch shorter than Natalie, her blond hair pulled up and tight into a pony tail that was around shoulder length.&nbsp; She had chosen a white button down blouse and had convienently left the top two buttons undone to allow her cleavage to show.&nbsp; Sarah wasn't huge but she filled out her clothing well, just a hint of her white lace bra revealed.&nbsp; Her skirt was grey and hung just below mid-thigh.&nbsp; &nbsp;Her legs were toned and strong and she had a tanned look that was neither obsessive or out of place for the time of year.&nbsp; "Natalie!! Wha are you doing here?!" Sarah exclaimed hugging the other girl quickly before blushing and nodded at the other girl and finally the three men with her blue eyes.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Hello, I'm Sarah." she said as she released Natalie and waved politely but slightly unsure of herself.

				Erik grinned a bit as the others started to show up, one by one. He was wearing plain old denim jeans that looked a bit on the old side, faded in some spots, sewn or patched up in a few others; but they were the most comfortable pair of pants in the world, as far as he was concerned. He also wore a green short-sleeved shirt that was a bit on the baggy side; it hid his lightly muscular frame. His feet were covered by steel-toed workman's boots, and his ensemble is finished off with a cloth hat on his head, dyed in a forest camo color.<br><br>One&nbsp; by one the others had arrived, three women, three guys including himself...good, good. He was watching the girls, not lecherously, but or creepily, but checking them out nonetheless. With her breasts looking like they might pop out of her shirt, his attention was mostly on Sarah when&nbsp; she showed up.<br><br>"Hi there," He'd say, his Maine accent coloring his words, though he manages to not sound like a hick "I'm Erik. Nice to meet you, Sarah." And then he'd turn his attention to everybody else "Nice to meet you all, in fact."

				Sarah stood by her roomate and smiled a bit more openily at Erik's warm greeting to her directly, revealing her white, straight teeth to him, and then to the others.&nbsp; He was dressed casually, as they other 2 men were as well, and her fear of overweight, balding men seemed a bit petty concerning what this week's getaway was going to mean.&nbsp; She glanced at Natalie and so wanted to ask her a ton of questions, especially since from what she had heard this "type of thing" was not something either one of them "did".&nbsp; She flushed a bit at the thought of seeing her roomate in a totally different way after this weekend and hoped this wouldn't put an end to their friendship.&nbsp; She had lost so many because of their sorority and Mike's desire for complete control over everything Sarah did.&nbsp; 'Well, he's not going to like this one bit.' she thought and smiled even wider.&nbsp; Behind that smile and maybe visible in her eyes was a concern that she could lose another friend and perhaps her closest one to a simple trick of fate.<br><br>

				Jacob Burrows casually smoked his cigarete as he sat on the steps and watched the cars and trucks slowly arrive.&nbsp; He was dressed in blue jeans and a white dress shirt that was open, displaying the wife-beater he wore underneath.&nbsp; A blue wristwatch was on his left wrist and a cell phone hung off his right hip.&nbsp; Any that spoke to him were given a friendly hello and nod of recognition, though that was it for the most part.&nbsp; He wanted to save his introduction and greetings until everybody had shown up.&nbsp; It was a decent turn out.&nbsp; Two guys and three girls, which made the numbers even.&nbsp; While he could have hoped for better, he was happy with the numbers.&nbsp; Of course, there was always the possibility that others would show up.&nbsp; After all, they had planned on spending a week here, and he wasn't entirely sure of the number that would arrive.&nbsp; He might have a few stragglers show up over the next few days.&nbsp; At the moment though, their seemed to be enough to warrant his speech.<br><br>Jacob got to his feet, approaching the group and coming to a stop a good ten feet away.&nbsp; "Welcome everybody.&nbsp; I'm glad you managed to find your way here.&nbsp; My name is Jacob Burrows, and I shall be your host for the week."&nbsp; Jacob made a dramatic bow.&nbsp; "I'm glad all of you could make it.&nbsp; I admit, this is my first swingers party, and i'm guessing that it probably is the same for most of, if not all of, you.&nbsp; So, i thought that once everybody gets settled in, we can perhaps have some drinks in the jacuzzi and talk a bit.&nbsp; Get to know everybody a bit so we're more comfortable with each other.&nbsp; I was also thinking of some games we might be able to play to help people adjust a little more to the situation.&nbsp; Perhaps some strip poker, or naked twister once everybodies comfortable enough.&nbsp; However, for the time being, why don't you all get your things and follow me.&nbsp; I'll show you to your rooms."&nbsp; Jacob gestured for the group to follow him.<br><br>Entering the house, the group would find it vary spacious, white pain on the walls.&nbsp; The furniture in the house seemed to be made of black leather, with an abundance of couches and chairs in the living room.&nbsp; A massive&nbsp; 60 inch LCD tv was on one wall, surounded by an impressive set of speakers allong with a DVD player.&nbsp; The room itself carried back, going into a spacious kitchen, allong with two halls to the left and right, and one set of stairs going up, the other going down.&nbsp; "There are guest rooms down the left and right hall.&nbsp; I was thinking the guys would go to the left, and the women would go to the right.&nbsp; Their are also washrooms at the very end of the halls."&nbsp; Jacob explained.<br><br>

				Natalie's eyes went wide with shocked surprise at seeing Sarah emerge from the car, too shocked to do anything except to return her friend's hug with enthusiasm, glad she would know someone here at least, although she was curious how Sarah had found out about this place.&nbsp; She now thought, upon consideration, that the RA of their dorms had purposefully told the both of them about this week, maybe hoping that they would both come, and watch out for each other.&nbsp; She only hoped Sarah wouldn't think less of her for coming, and felt herself blush as she pulled back from the hug and looked out her friend.<br><br>"Tammy told me about this place a couple of weeks ago, and I... I was curious," she admitted.&nbsp; "She said she thought I could use some fun," she smiled shyly.&nbsp; "I'm really glad to see you," she added, wanting to reassure her friend, that she herself didn't look down on her for coming.<br><br>She listened as the host came over to talk to them, moving away from Sarah to grab her bags from her car and joining her friend again to follow everyone inside.&nbsp; She stared at the huge TV, wondering how much time anyone would spend watching it, but glad it was there, in case anyone took a notion.&nbsp; She thought the idea of games and getting to know each other was a good one, and was personally looking forward to it, especially now that she would have a friend to both give and receive moral support from.

				Sarah felt much better after hearing Natalie's words and she listened as Jacob introduced himself and the house briefly.&nbsp; She had been so busy looking at everyone that her mouth dropped open as she regarded the large mansion.&nbsp; It was a imposing and huge structure.&nbsp; Well built with many windows and bricks and looked like it could withstand a bomb, or so she thought.&nbsp; As she dragged her rolling luggage from the driveway inside she stayed close to her friend, allowing Rick, Erik and Jacob to move in first.&nbsp; &nbsp;Once inside she was again struct with the size of this place.&nbsp; It was well maintained and everything appeared to be in working order.&nbsp; &nbsp;She marveled at the tv but the kitchen, furniture and art was even more impressive to her, finding those things much more impressive than a giant electronic.<br><br>Jacob was attractive.&nbsp; He seemed to have muscles inside of muscles but was smooth and sauve about himself, Sarah thought for a long moment and then regarded Rick who seemed to be much more like the frat boy she was used to, his muscles were bigger, massive really and he seemed good natured but was maybe a bit crazy underneath.&nbsp; She regarded Erik last as he seemed different than the other two, almost between them in a way.&nbsp; She contemplated the men and the girl she had not met yet besides a brief introduction.&nbsp; She moved down the hall and stopped at a room next to Natalie's, surprised at how spacious each was.&nbsp; "This place is huge." she said as she entered her room, forgetting about the others for a moment.&nbsp; Her room was dominated by a large king sized bed.&nbsp; It had a soft, female touch to it, with a pink and yellow flowery quilt and 4 large posts and an ornate metal headboard.&nbsp; There was a makeup desk and two mirrors as well as several large dressers.&nbsp; &nbsp; Sarah giggled and immediately started making the room more hers, figuring she should get comfortable, even putting her makeup and other essentials on the mirrored desk before reviewing her wardrobe.&nbsp; As she reviewed her clothing, especially if they were going to get into a hot tube she noticed something else that was odd.&nbsp; There were mirrors everywhere.&nbsp; She covered her mouth with her hand as she realized that most were visible from the bed.&nbsp; She shivered slightly wondering just how much fun this week was going to be.<br><br>Sarah finally left her room, dressed the same as when she arrived, stopping by to use the bathroom at the end of the hall before making her way back to the main room with the tv and the hallway leading to the men's rooms.

				"This is gonna be epic" Rick exclaimed gleefully as he surveyed the interior of the house. He made a point of lingering in the big living room so he could watch the girls as they went to their rooms.&nbsp; There was something about a cute little ass that lit his blood on fire and the girls didn't disappoint. Sighing contentedly he made his way to his room, it was set up similar to the girls rooms as far as mirrors but it had a more masculine bent to the decor.&nbsp; Rick tossed his duffel onto the bed figuring he'd get back to it later, he had more important things to attend to, the beer needed chilling.<br><br>Rick quickly walked back out to the car and opened the hatchback, carrying four cases at a time, two under his arms and two held by his hands Rick set about loading up the fridge. Two and a half trips later and he was done. He did love these big old houses, they always had huge kitchens with multiple fridges. Having squared the beer away he proceeded back to his car and produced a long velvet bag. The bong was his pride and joy, one of his fraternity brothers had made it for him in glass blowing class and he couldn't imagine a party without it. He then opened the glove compartment grabbing a large plastic baggy containing his favorite strain of local bud, that he stuffed in his pocket. Finally he pulled out his own personal cherry on the sundae, the bottle of goldschlager.&nbsp; Rick smiled to himself satisfied, yea he was going to have fun. He carried the items back into his room then plopped down on one of the couches, with a fresh cold beer sitting next to him he pulled out one of those little new testaments, tearing out a page he hunkered down over the coffee table the bag of weed sitting in front of him as he proceeded to roll a slim little joint.&nbsp; Rick took a nice long drag letting the smoke fill his lungs, then raised the beer to his lips taking a long drink while holding the hit. He leaned back against the couch and slowly exhaled, this was living.

				Like everybody else, he ends up going back to his truck, and getting out his duffel bag of clothes and toiletries and other assorted things. He claims the room closest to the wash room. Unlike Rick, Erik ends up taking the time to get all of his stuff situated, all nice and neat, and the duffel bag ends up on the floor, in some corner, where it wouldn't get in the way.<br><br>Then, much like Rick, it was back out to his truck to claim the bottles of drink he'd made, and the food, too. He makes sure to leave his shotgun covered up, though, and the doors to his truck securely locked. The wine is brought into the kitchen, and placed into the fridge alongside the beer; the clear glass bottles have home made labels on them, identifying what they are, with a little stylized <strong>E</strong> on the label, in a circle.<br><br>The cardboard container, with its plastic wrap, might strike some as the sort of thing you'd get bulk pastry in; however, their were no store labels on it, just two loaves each of acorn bread and sourdough bread.&nbsp; Nice, big, plump rolls, with crusty shells and soft insides. <br><br>The packets of beef jerky, each carefully measured out to six ounces, and sealed in their own individual plastic bags looked just like the kind of thing you'd buy in a store; but their's no brand or anything on it. Just a small sticky tag that says "Deer Jerky", with the same stylized <strong>E</strong>.<br><br>Afterwards, he'd actually lurk around the kitchen, just checking it out; tools, utensils, taking stock of what was in the pantry and stuff.

				Sarah blinked and slowed her approach as the broad shouldered guy... 'um Rick.' her mind reminded her after a moment, appeared to be hunkere over at one of the couches.&nbsp; She moved closer and off to the side wondering what he was doing but didn't wonder long as he leane back, puffing on what could only be a joint.&nbsp; She shook her head, pretty sure he didn't know she was there and just watched him then drink from a full beer and slowly exhale the smoke above him.&nbsp; &nbsp;He was wide and she knew from experience what those muscles would be capable of.&nbsp; Sarah was a little scared of him, or more importantly what he might represent of Mike but she frowned and tried to tell that nagging little voice that you don't throw away all the apples for a single bad one.&nbsp; She moved a bit closer to the kitchen side of the room when she heard a noise coming from within and smiled at Rick as she passed.&nbsp; "Hi Rick." she said and moved on towards the kitchen.<br><br>Sarah was surprised to find Erik looking around the kitchen.&nbsp; &nbsp;She noticed some boxed that looked like they came from a bakery but just figured it was included with the house.&nbsp; That thought triggered another 'odd, I don't remember seeing anything about paying for this week?' she pondered this for a little bit.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sarah looked up to see Erik looking at her and she smiled, filing away the question for later.&nbsp; "Hi Erik is it?&nbsp; With a C I suppose?&nbsp; I'm Sarah.&nbsp; Um... Where are you from?" she spluttered out her introduction and groaned silently thinking she sounded like a moron to the first cute guy she had talked to since... Well before Mike.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sarah also tried to keep an eye on the main room to make sure she didn't miss Natalie, feeling like she needed to keep an eye on her too.

				Natalie took the room next to Sarah's, taking the time to unpack and store her things neatly before stowing her luggage in one of the closets, then tried to decide where to go next.&nbsp; She could at least explore a little, and get a feel for exactly how big this place was, she thought.<br><br>Coming back into the main room, she saw one of the guys smoking something she assumed wasn't a cigarette and drinking a beer, and she smiled shyly and a bit nervously at him as she passed him, looking for Sarah.&nbsp; She didn't think she was quite ready to just jump into the drinking and smoking, especially since she'd never done anything like it before.&nbsp; Better to go slow, she thought.<br><br>Hearing Sarah's voice, she followed it until she found herself in the biggest kitchen she'd ever seen, giving Sarah and the guy she was talking to a smile, going to stand next to her friend.<br><br>"Hi, um..."&nbsp; She drew a blank on the name, her mind searching frantically to see if she'd heard it before, when her eyes spotted the packages and the fancy letter E, and then it came to her.&nbsp; Erik, that was it.&nbsp; "Hi Erik, I'm Natalie," she said, going pink at the forgetting of his name so soon.&nbsp; "I'm usually pretty good with names, but I'll use the excuse of being nervous, and hope you'll give me some slack," she grinned, hoping he wasn't one of those serious types who got all bent out of shape if you didn't remember them.

				Jacob allowed the others to settle in, as he imagined it would take some time for them to become a little accomidated to the house.&nbsp; It was after all a brand new place to them.&nbsp; He doubted anybody would get lost in the house, but it was big enough that you could have some trouble finding somebody.&nbsp; He waited in the livingroom patiently as the others went to check out there new rooms and get settled.&nbsp; He watched as they slowly trickled back into the living room and kitchen, the large young man, Rick if memory served, quickly making himself at home rolling up a joint while Erik seemed to be taking stock of the kitchen.&nbsp; He had seemed to have brought some things with him that made Jacob a little curious, though he was sure he would see them later.<br><br>Jacob didn't say much at the moment, as people seemed to be mingling of their own accord.&nbsp; He causally took a seat on a couch opposite of Rick.&nbsp; "I'm glad you could make it, Rick.&nbsp; If you have any questions, feel free to ask.&nbsp; Once everybody has settled i'll continue giving the tour.&nbsp; I think you'll all find the place spacious and with a nice variety of activities open for people."<br><br>

				<em>Erik would find the kitchen to be very well stocked, with an electric stove, Dishwasher, microwave, and toaster oven.&nbsp; As well, their seemed to be a rather impressive collection of shiny cooking knives in a large plastic block, the type which sharpened the knives whenever they were placed in or pulled out.&nbsp; A massive fridge/freezer was on the opposite side of the kitchen.&nbsp; In the center was a large wooden table for eating. </em>

				The smile he greets the woman with is warm, and soft; despite his physique, he had a rather non-threatening way of carrying himself.&nbsp; At eased, and relaxed; he had nothing to prove, nothing to compensate for by being big and intimidating. "With a K, actually. I'm part Scandinavian." He explained, a tinge of tiredness, from the long road trip, flavoring his voice. "I'm from Maine, though. Born and raised. How about yourself, Sarah?"<br><br>As he asked his question, the lovely Sarah's friend joined them, and he graced her with the same kind smile. "Don't worry about it, Natalie, I'm horrible with names myself." He said with a light laugh. "Anybody hungry? Their's a good stock of stuff here in the house, and I'm good at cookin'," He looked over towards the sealed packets of jerky, and the larger container with the bread in it. "Seasoned deer jerky, made it myself, if either of you are a jerky fan...I also baked some bread. The flat one is acorn, the round one is sourdough. Baked them myself." This is said with a tinge of pride. <br><br>"Also got some drinks chillin' in the fridge. brewed them myself. It's a hobby. Feel free to help yourselves whenever you want. two different types of wine, and mead. You'll know it's my stuff when you see the fancy 'E'."

				"Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one then," Natalie laughed, feeling a bit easier now that she knew he wasn't going to tease her about it.&nbsp; She decided she liked his smile and his easygoing manner, and was even more impressed when he told them he could cook, and pointed out the things he'd brought.&nbsp; It was a slick move on his part, but she herself didn't mind, thinking it interesting rather than arrogance on his part.<br><br>"I've never had acorn bread before, or mead either," she admitted.&nbsp; "I don't think I'll start just now though, one of us starting early is plenty," she grinned, gesturing back toward the living room, not judging anyone, but wanting to wait until she was more settled in before she tried something new, at least alcohol-wise.&nbsp; "I think I will try the jerky though," she added, feeling a little hungry and not wanting him to feel as if she didn't appreciate his efforts.&nbsp; She took one of the packages, looking to see if Sarah wanted one too.&nbsp; "It must have taken a while to wrap all these up in servings like that.&nbsp; I probably would have just thrown it all into a big zip lock or something and been done with it, but then again I don't know the first thing about real cooking," she laughed, "so you're way ahead of me."

				Sarah smiled as Natalie started to warm up to Erik and nodded quickly taking a step back as Natalie started asking more questions and opening up a bit to him.&nbsp; Her eyes caught Erik's in a simple 'keep going' type of way, knowing how hard it was to get involved with anything.&nbsp; Sarah loved Natalie for everything she still had going for her and would want her to talk to Erik more if he interested her.&nbsp; Natalie was pretty but sometimes it could be hidden because of her bookish ways.&nbsp; Sarah had tried and tried to get her to come to the fraternity parties when she had met Mike, which she had always had an excuse or reason not to go.&nbsp; Only afterwards, Sarah realized that Natalie had been the smarter, more intuitive one of them both and Sarah stopped asking her to come with her.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sarah had a hard time telling Natalie why she stopped inviting her to the parties but figured maybe this week would allow her the chance.<br><br>Sarah backed slowly away from the pair, her heels clicking slightly on the hard floor and she entered back into the main room to find Jacob and Rick making small talk.&nbsp; She moved closer to them and found a chair to sit on, keeping her tanned knees and thighs together and tilted off to the side.&nbsp; She flipped her ponytail behind her&nbsp; he's to hang straight down her back and smiled, looking to politely insert herself into the conversation they had started.&nbsp; "Hi Jacob, this is definitely a nice place.&nbsp; Is it old?&nbsp; Also what is the town like?&nbsp; I passed through it and honestly missed most of it." Sarah nodded to them both, watching Rick relax and enjoy himself and Jacob be a bit more business like.&nbsp; 'an interesting group we have here...' she thought to herself.

				Ariana returned to her car, and flung her bags over her shoulder and followed the man named Jacob into the large mansion.&nbsp; Even she had to be impressed by its size and granduer.&nbsp; Her parents had not by any means been poor, but they had not been overly rich either.&nbsp; They just had enough to live very comfortably.&nbsp; The rooms she had discovered upon entering had a femenine touch to them.&nbsp; She wasn't really a big fan of pink, but it wasn't overdone at least.&nbsp; <br><br>Setting her bag down on the bed, she lay back on it for a few minutes and looked up at the canopy over the king sized bed.&nbsp; It was so soft, and she felt she could stay here for hours.&nbsp; However she decided there would be time to sleep later, and so she got to her feet and went out to where the others we're already getting aquainted with one another.&nbsp; She listened in a little as the woman named Sarah talked to the Jacob.<br><br>"Whats on the itinerary for this afternoon Jacob?" Ariana asked looking over at the man.&nbsp; He kind of seemed like he was the man in charge here.&nbsp; It at least seemed like it to her.&nbsp; She went to the fridge and pulled out a soda.

				He gave a nod of his head, and ends up getting one of the bags of jerky himself. It was salty, as one might expect, but their was a clip of heat to it, too, from red pepper flakes; just a tinge of onion and garlic, very subtle; but mostly, the jerky preserved its own natural flavor.<br><br>"Whenever you, or anyone else for that matter, want to get into the drinks," He reached into his pocket, taking out a cheap wine cork remover, and setting it on the table by the fridge "Use that. Don't try to pull the cork out with your fingers, it's a real pain."<br><br>"It did take a while to put it all together, but I figured making them individually bagged would look nicer." A slight pause "If you get hungry, feel free to dig in... or just give me a holler, and I'll throw something delicious together for you." <br><br>His attention drifted, watching Ariana as she came in, got some soda, and left. He looked towards the living room, then back to Natalie. "Want to go out and join the others?"

				Natalie gave Sarah a questioning look as she left, hoping she wasn't making her friend feel like she had to leave, or making her feel awkward.&nbsp; She would have to make sure Sarah knew she hadn't meant to make her feel that way later, find a chance to talk with her.<br><br>"I wouldn't know the first thing about using that thing," she said, indicating the bottle opener.&nbsp; She thought about saying he might be able to show her how it worked later, but decided he might take it the wrong way, or put her in a bad light, and so she kept her mouth shut.&nbsp; Granted, she knew what this week was for, but she still wanted to take things slow and get to know everyone before anything serious developed with any of them.<br><br>"This is really good," she complimented, taking an experimental bite.&nbsp; She went to the fridge and got herself a soda, raising her eyes questioningly to see if he wanted anything.<br><br>When he suggested they might go and see what the others were up to, she nodded, suddenly feeling awkward with it being just the two of them in here, and not quite sure why.&nbsp; "All right," she said easily.&nbsp; "We don't want to seem antisocial, and we don't want to miss any announcements or anything," she added.

				"Get me a coke, please?" He asked sincerely for a can of soda when she went to the fridge. He'd accept it from her with a nod of his head. "Thank you, Natalie. I take great joy in cooking. I also hunt. Maybe I'll see if I can throw together a rabbit stew while we're here." <br><br>"Yeah." he would grab a few more packets of the deer jerky, and bring them along with him as he headed out towards the living room. He'd set the unopened packages down on the coffee table, before claiming a seat in a big ol' cushy chair. "Anybody that's a jerky fan, help yourselves."As always, his voice was tinged with a Maine accent; very subtle, much like the seasoning on the jerky.<br><br>"So, folks, what's the plan?" he'd ask as he relaxed in the chair, looking completely at ease already.

				Sarah smiled as their group assembled and felt small butterflies in her stomach.&nbsp; She shifted in her chair and made it a point to wave at Natalie, giving her an honest and happy smile.&nbsp; 'I wonder how this is going to start.' she thought knowing that most parties start quiet but this was a bit different.&nbsp; 'Everyone here is thinking the same thing...'. She finally got to see Ariana and she was also a very pretty woman and seemed comfortable as well with the mansion.&nbsp; As she listened to the different people talk she found her mind wandering back to campus and wondered what would be the outcome of this weekend when she returned.&nbsp; 'Would her and Natalie be as close?&nbsp; Closer? Would Mike be waiting to apologize or would he be waiting to hit her again?'. She gritted her teeth for a moment and tried to relax, feeling a bit more anxious as the thoughts rolled around her head.&nbsp; 'Geez, girl.&nbsp; Get a grip.' she admonished herself and tried to join the group in mind as well as body.&nbsp; <br><br>"A game might just be the thing." she said aloud smiling at Ariana and joining the party and trying to forget or at least banish the past until this week was over.

				"You bought jerky dude? Score!" Rick eagerly took hold of a strip of the jerky, laying the roach from his joint on top of the now empty beer can. He eagerly tore off a chunk with his teeth and started to chew his eyes growing wide. "Damn this is really good, thanks" Rick smiled and gave Eric a small nod of appreciation. He took a look around the room the crowd looked like it was going to be fun. "I'm down for a game, what do you want to play?"

				Livingroom<br><br>"This place is probably a good...50 years old.&nbsp; Thats why it kind'a looks like an older house on the outside, but is a lot newer on the inside.&nbsp; As far as the town goes," Jacob shrugged slightly.&nbsp; "Its an ok place from what i've seen.&nbsp; The people are decent enough, very salt of the earth, very good when it comes to jury rigging stuff and keeping it going.&nbsp; However, I don't think they like tourists a whole lot.&nbsp; They're decent enough to treat people well enough, but a few of them will give you a look when your not looking.&nbsp; I think part of that is because it is, essentially, a poor town and the tourists who come here tend to be wealthy, or wealthier at any rate."<br><br>By this time it seemed that everybody was Miling about the Livingroom and getting eager to get on with things.&nbsp; Jacob couldn't blame them.&nbsp; He was as eager and nervous as the rest of them.&nbsp; Perhaps a little more because he was responsible for both this event and the condition of the house.&nbsp; "A game sounds like a good idea."&nbsp; Jacob nodded his head.&nbsp; "Now, i have a few games lined up, but is people have any suggestions, they are welcome to make it.&nbsp; As far as games go, I have strip poker, spin the bottle with some rather fun changes, and if/when people feel more adventurous, we have naked tister."&nbsp; <br><br>Jacob explained the games causally to group.&nbsp; Most of the games had been easy enough to think up, so even if they didn't play any of them he wouldn't be bothered by it.&nbsp; Besides, the games were nothing more then a precursor to the real fun.&nbsp; An icebreaker for a group of young people, which reminded him.&nbsp; "We also have a small pool and a hot tub out back as well, so we can do some relaxing in there and perhaps some skinny dipping as well later."&nbsp;

				He grins a bit as he hears the compliments from his home made jerky.&nbsp; "Thanks. I enjoy making the stuff. I love cooking in general, so if anybody gets the hungry horrors, just give me a holler." Partly, this was to impress the ladies; mostly, however, this was just how Erik was. A genuinely nice guy (without being some pushover pussy), and probably rare as hell for that.<br><br>"I'm down for strip poker or spin the bottle. We could always do truth or dare, too."

Sarah found herself thinking and blushed a bit as already her mind was accepting what was going to happen to them all this week.&nbsp; Sarah looked around at the group as she waited to see if they should change or if there was more to discuss.

				"Allriiiight, a pool party" Rick exclaimed as he stood up collecting his things. He let his gaze wander over the girls as he turned to go to his room, he couldn't wait to see what kind of swimwear the girls had brought. Once in his room he quickly got undressed admiring his muscular physique, he'd been working on his muscles since he was a sophomore in college and was proud of the results. Sliding out of his t-shirt and jeans and tossing them on the floor he fished a pair of loose trunks from his Duffel bag. Slipping them on Rick left his room to grab a couple beers then made his way to the pool.

				Natalie hadn't been extensive in the food department either, not knowing what to expect, so went for nonperishable things too, like bread and peanut butter, trail mix, that sort of thing.&nbsp; She caught Sarah's look, and was fairly sure her own face mirrored the expression.&nbsp; Now that she knew they had plenty of room for storing things though, she supposed they could always make a trip into town and buy something more substantial.&nbsp; She would worry about that later though.<br><br>She nodded at Sarah's gesture to come and follow her, giving the others a shy but friendly smile as she headed out of the room toward the bedrooms to change.&nbsp; She'd brought a simple one-piece suit with her, something fairly conservative and that more than adequately covered everything, hoping she wouldn't seem too proper for this group.&nbsp; Still, it was all she had, and she didn't want to go spending money on something if she wasn't sure she'd enjoy the week, and besides, the suit still fit well, so she might as well get the use out of it.&nbsp; Once she was changed, she made her way over to Sarah's door, knocking lightly, curious to see what her friend would wear, and hoping she herself didn't look too much like a kid in her get-up.

				Sarah closed her door and leaned against it for a moment collecting herself.&nbsp; She hadn't really thought this whole thing through, really expecting Mike to either ruin it or cause some sort of problem. She had been so angry, so spiteful she figured doing something like this party would really get back at him but it was a passive agressive attack she knew.&nbsp; She had really "packed light" and she looked at the drawer with her swimsuit she realized she had really been angry at him.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Get over it, girl.&nbsp; He is no good and you just better enjoy yourself this weekend..." she said aloud and shook her head, ponytail bouncing.&nbsp; She walked to the drawer, removing the suit and moving to the full length mirror in her room.&nbsp; Sarah unbuttoned her top, removing it and her bra under it quickly, not bothering to look at herself and then she wiggled a bit getting out of the skirt and her panties.&nbsp; She put on the bikini top and bottom, tying a loose bow that could be undone when she heard the knock at the door.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sarah smiled and opened it, pulling Natalie inside to stand at the mirror with her before really looking at them.<br><br>Sarah was dressing in a string bikini that accented her hourglass shape that wasn't exaggerated or retangle in shape.&nbsp; The zebra stripes, black and alternating white, ran across her breasts and waist, the strings thin and black.&nbsp; It highlighted her shape without making her look trampy and she didn't have a visible tan line.&nbsp; She smiled at her friend in the mirror and nodded. "you look great Nat." she smiled at her friend in the mirror, putting on a brave face even though she knew they were nervous.&nbsp; Natalie's one piece was cute and it fit her longer frame like a second skin. Sarah blinked not realizing how attractive her friend really was without her books, notes and computer always in the way.&nbsp; "You look really great!" she said, arm around the taller girl.&nbsp; "are you ready?" she whispered a little softer trying to make sure her friend was ok with everything so far.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I think you might like Erik..." she giggled softly and nodded at her friend before releasing her and moving to the bed and picking up and then dropping a white thin cover up. "I think I'll go without this." she said and smiled at her friend, waiting.

				<strong>Avani's room</strong><br><br>As the others had done, Avani went back to her room to change for the party.&nbsp; There was much to do and she wanted to get started as soon as possible.&nbsp; Though the supplies at hand would somewhat limit what she could make for party she was confident she would be able to come up with something.&nbsp; She was so excited about the prospect of the party.&nbsp; It was going to be absolutely amazing she thought having attended her fair share of parties in high school.&nbsp; <br><br>Crossing to the bed where her suitcases lie, Arian set about undressing, letting her top shirt fall to the floor before pulling her tank top over her head and reaching behind her to undo her bra letting her clothing fall to the floor haphazardly.&nbsp; Her hands then moved down to the button of her Capris, and then the zipper.&nbsp; Within seconds she was dressed in nothing at all.&nbsp; Turning to her bag she pulled out her bikini, a two piece, with the bottoms being string which she pulled up first, before tying her top up.&nbsp; Now that she was dressed she turned to the mirror in the room to get a look at her slender hour glass figure and smiled.&nbsp; Next she bunched her brown hair together and tied it in a ponytail, then stepped into a pair of flipflops picked up her white outer shirt and pulled it over her shoulders but not buttoning it up.&nbsp; <br><br>She was all set now, and ready to get started down in the kitchen.&nbsp; Confident she set off towards the door and back out into the house proper, ready to party.

				Much like everyone else, Erik ends up disappearing into his room to get out of his clothes; glad for it, really. He set his clothes out on his bed, though his boxers stay on the floor, next to his socks, with his shoes just a little ways away. He gets some swimming trunks out, and slips into them,tying the string in front firmly. The swimming trunks were black, but had red, orange, and yellow flames along the bottom of it. <br><br>His next stop was the kitchen, where he'd toss out the can of coke and empty jerky packet from the snacking in the living room; also to gather the ground burger and hot dogs. Bare chested, and showing off his wiry muscles, he casually investigated around the patio and pool until he found the grill. Commandeering a nearby table, he'd put the still packaged meat there, and then turn his attention to fiddling with it.<br><br>Gas grill. Nifty. Much better than a charcoal one, considering those needed about a half hour to warm up before you could even cook on them. So he gets that going, and while it takes five minutes or so to warm up, he just meanders around the pool, waiting for the others. Definitely looking forward to seeing the babes in bikinis.

				<strong>The Kitchen</strong><br><br>Ariana arrived in the kitchen a short time later and begins going through the cupboard looking for ingredients.&nbsp; She was not as it turned out the first person to get out here after changing.&nbsp; Erik was already down and outside working with the grill.&nbsp; He was dressed only in a pair of swim trunks.&nbsp; His body was absolutely hot and Ariana smiled at him as she went to work in the kitchen finding out what they had in the way of food.&nbsp; However she kept glancing out to the patio every so often just to catch a glimpse of the man out there working with the meat.&nbsp; A perverted thought occurred to her at the pun meat and its different meaning causing her to giggle to herself as she opened up the door of the pantry.<br><br>Despite what Jacob had said, the house was relatively well stocked with canned goods and spices, though unfortunately, no potato's so that made a potato salad a no.&nbsp; However she did find a large can of pork and beans in the cupboard, as well as some brown sugar, and other seasonings.&nbsp; In the fridge she located the other key ingredients, Barbque sauce, mustard, and ketchup.&nbsp; She added the ingredients together in turn, stirring it until it was the way she wanted it, and then set it to bake on the stove.&nbsp; <br><br>Looking outside again she decided to see if Erik needed anything.&nbsp; "Hey hon, do you need anything from in here?" she called out in a familiar sort of way to Erik.&nbsp; "There are lots of sauces and seasonings in here, if you need them."

				<strong>Kitchen</strong><br><br>Jacob was the next to come into the room.&nbsp; Like Erik before him, he was dress in a pair of shorts but nothing else.&nbsp; However with Jacob, Ariana's attention was diverted by the bulge in his shorts, distracting her enough that she didn't take in what he had said for a moment as she marveled for what felt like along time though in truth it had only been a few seconds.&nbsp; She blushed slightly and spoke in a slight rush.&nbsp; "No I'm think I'm finding everything...." she said as she triying not to look at him while her face was still so flush, and paid a little extra attention to the beans than was strictly nessecary.

				Sarah grabbed Natalie's hand and left the room, laughing as they made their way down to the kitchen, shaking her head at their crazy idea that landed them both here.&nbsp; "we'll be fine, you'll be fine!" she whispered, letting Nat's hand go as they turned the corner finding Ariana, Jacob and Erik working in the kitchen.&nbsp; Both men had very different but nice forms in their swimming trunks.&nbsp; She could see their muscles move as they worked and she shivered for a moment how this weekend was going to go.&nbsp; She guided Natalie towards Erik, more because Ariana was really trying hard not to stare at Jacob then trying to position her friend.&nbsp; Sarah had been to plenty of fraternity parties recently and usually ended up watching others as Mike was very controlling about what she could do and who she could talk to and after it started getting scary obeying was just safer.&nbsp; So she pulled Natalie into the room, hoping that she would not look anything other than her friend.&nbsp; "hi... It looks like you already have things well in hand!" Sarah smiled and let go of Nat's hand.&nbsp; "is there anything we can help with or should we go out... Too many cooks in the kitchen?" <br><br>Sarah didn't feel self conscious in her bikini having worn it a few times around others.&nbsp; She smiled widely and noticed Rick outside by himself and moved to the doorway making sure she wasn't needed in the kitchen before going out to join him, figuring the pairing in the kitchen wasn't a bad start.

				Rick had been admiring the pool area, soaking in the atmosphere of the place. Honestly it was much more high class than he'd been expecting. Not like the frat houses and dingy apartments he was used to partying in. He came to a stop near the door he had entered in and stretched, that felt good. He loved the way the sun felt on his broad shoulders and was just thinking about taking a swim.<br><br>Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Sarah coming out to the pool area an appreciative grin spreading across his features as he looked over her suit admiring the way it complimented her curvy frame while leaving just enough to the imagination to keep things interesting. "I was just thinking about trying out the pool, care to join me?" Rick didn't wait for a response he just flashed Sarah a playful grin and dove into the water, slowly backstroking his way around the pool.

				When the one girl, the one he hasn't really had a chance to talk to, comes out and asks if he needs anything, he would nod his head a bit. "Yeah. Lots of stuff, really...but I'll grab it myself." Simply because it didn't feel right to ask her to get a whole list of stuff when he could do it himself. He would start towards the kitchen, grinning slightly at the two getting ready to go into the pool. "What're you guys gonna be having? Burgers, dogs, both..?" He lets the question hang in the air, though, looking at everybody else in the kitchen. "What about you guys'n'gals?"<br><br>As he awaited the answers, he'd go to collect condiments; ketchup, relish, mayo, mustard, tomatoes, lettuce (if these things are available; he'll make do with whatever is to be had). He'd also go to get hot dog rolls and burger buns, but if none of those were to be had, he'd get a knife, cutting board, and the loaf of sourdough bread he baked.

				Sarah looked back at Erik admiring the muscle mass of Rick's back and grinned at him.&nbsp; "I've actually never had a hot dog before so I think I'll try one, especially if you are as good a cook as you say!" She nodded her head and frowned as the pony tail whipped against her back.&nbsp; "That's so annoying." she said and removed the band holding it in place, allowing her hair to fall around her shoulders, it was straight and about shoulder length.&nbsp; She made sure Erik didn't need anything else before she moved to the edge of the pool, felt the water with a french manicured toe and shivered before lowering herself into the water.&nbsp; She squinted from the reflection of the sun off the water as she began getting her hair wet and looking to see where Rick floated off to.&nbsp; "it's nice in here, must cost a fortune to heat it..." Sarah said aloud.

				Rick swam lazily through the refreshing water. The image of Sarah undoing her pony tail and shaking out her hair was like something out of a music video. He couldn't help a small chuckle as she dipped her toe into the water, damn if she wasn't cute. She put up a good front, but Rick had been with his share of party girls and Sarah certainly wasn't one of those. He figured she must have her reasons for being here, and he was going to enjoy trying to unravel the mystery.<br><br>With practiced ease Rick flipped himself around propelling his muscular frame through the calm water and with a few powerful strokes he was at the edge of the pool next to Sarah, his arms were crossed as he looked up at her grinning playfully. "Gotta admit I do love a pool".

				"Are you kidding me?&nbsp; You've never had a hot dog, really?" Natalie asked, her eyes going wide in surprise at Sarah's admission.&nbsp; "I thought everyone had those," she smiled, letting her friend know she wasn't making fun of her, only surprised and curious.<br><br>She shrugged as Sarah left, turning to offer some help in carrying things for Erik, if he'd let her.&nbsp; "I think I'll take one of each, please," she said, hoping she wasn't making herself sound like a person who ate massive amounts of food or anything.<br><br>"So how did you hear about this place, if you don't mind my asking?" she asked Erik, curious, but also attempting to make conversation, and since the activities of the week were on her mind, the question came naturally to her.&nbsp; She was sure he didn't want to spend all the time talking about himself, and maybe this would get them started and lead to more general conversation, she thought.

				he chuckled a bit as he heard Sarah. "Probably not good for you, but they sure do taste good." He said with a firm nod of his head.<br><br>"Thanks." He'd say as Natalie helped him carry some of the condiments outside. he'd put them all near the table he commandeered. "Well, I was just hanging around on this one website... it's a fetishist website. People into kinky stuff, you know? And I saw someone talking about this party, decided it sounded like a fun time." He is very at ease at admitting that he is a kinkster.<br><br>"How about you?" He'd ask as he opened the container of ground beef, and started to form patties, placing them on the grill. The hot dogs he'd add after a bit of time, since they cooked up faster.

He says with a firm nod of his head; entirely open and forthright.<br><br>And then, in response to her question. "Some times.&nbsp; What about you?"

How did you manage to borrow this home?" she asked, looking up at him, curious to learn more about their host and engage him in some conversation.

				Natalie nodded agreeably, needing to wash her hands herself after helping him.<br><br>"A play partner?&nbsp; What exactly is that?" she asked him, glad they were where no one else could hear them, not wanting to be made fun of for her obvious ignorance.&nbsp; "I didn't know they had whole communities for that kind of thing," she tried to explain, hoping he wouldn't look down on her and wonder why she was even here, if he had to explain something so basic to her.&nbsp; <br><br>"All of this stuff is new to me, I've only been with a couple of guys, and that was a while back.&nbsp; I guess you could say they were pretty normal, they never asked to do anything strange, at any rate," she grinned, feeling easier when she saw his own.&nbsp; At least he was amused, rather than put off.<br><br>"As for whether I've looked at anything myself, no.&nbsp; It's true, I... I wouldn't know where to look even if I wanted to.&nbsp; As for... exploring new things, I wouldn't mind, if it was with someone I could trust not to hurt me, and someone who would be patient with me in explaining things I don't know," she added shyly, hoping he wouldn't take it as flirting, only giving an opinion, letting him decide what to do with it.&nbsp; She didn't want to risk looking at him, and busied herself at the fridge, looking for a drink, eying the bottles Erik had brought with him, feeling like she could use a bit of something to relax and not feel so jumpy.<br><br>She shook her head to Jake's offer of beer when he came by with them, hoping he wouldn't think she was rude, or stuck up.&nbsp; She just didn't like beer, needing something on the sweeter end, if she was going to drink.

				Rick watched a Arianna swam over to him admiring the way her body slid through the water. She seemed more confident than the other girls, at least from what he'd noticed thus far. In response to her question he answered simply "Chicago, I grew up in Chicago" he smiled softly as she brushed her hair out of her eyes. He leaned against the edge of the pool as he talked "So how about you where are you from?"

'ex-boyfriend' she thought and again looked at the men that were at this party.&nbsp; They were all so different and each one of them manly and hot in their own way.&nbsp; Jacob seemed just a bit out of place, his waist so narrow while his arms well defined and he did look good in his bathing suit.&nbsp; 'Mike will be a distant memory when this week ends.' she thought and took a drink of the ice cold beer.&nbsp; <br><br>"well I promise not to destroy anything in the house, Jacob and thank you for the invitation.&nbsp; I will admit I struggled with the decision to come but I'm glad I did.&nbsp; I'm not from around here, Rhode Island actually, but it's very beautiful up here.".

This place is really something." He let his arm drop back down to his side as he leaned against the side of the pool. "Now as far as what I'm into, well that's quite a bit. I tend to roll with the party if you know what I mean. Although as a general rule I'm not really into the whole whips and chains scene. I'm more of a nice buzz, good tunes, fun conversation, let's see what happens kinda guy." Rick pulled himself out of the water, his muscled chest and back glistening with drops of water.

				"It's not for everyone.

But when you do things the best way, their's no real pain.&nbsp; Just an odd sort of high from the adrenaline. <br><br>"I like a girl that can get rough with me. It adds a new dimension to things." He says with a laugh that is slightly nervous. "But I like you, too, Natalie." Their was a lull in his talking as he took a sip of beer, and went to flip the burgers and rotate the hot dogs, so they don't burn. "Kink is just like different flavors of ice cream, you know?"<br><br>"I could tell you about quite a few different things. I'm a masochist myself, but I've experimented in a few other areas, like in chastity play, bondage. I've been both a dom and a sub." He chuckled again, this time as if remembering something fondly. "A few things that I won't bring up. Was their something specific you wanted to know about, or should I just ramble for a while?" He had been serious about telling her these things. And he took her answer seriously, too.

				"That's the key. To have the sensation, but without damaging the body. It can be pretty hard to do, especially with something like a leather whip. But their's a lot more materials out there, most of which are a lot safer to use." He said with a nod of his head. <br><br>"Nope. It's, uh...interesting. The idea is to lock a girl or guy up so they can go to the bathroom, but they can't masturbate or have sex. Usually for a few days, though some people do it for a month at a time. I, personally, think that's going too far. With most chastity belts, you can still tease the person, and that usually factors into it...driving them crazy with lust. But I'll tell you what, when you do finally get out of chastity, any sex, or even masturbation, it's...really powerful. Some of the best orgasms of my life have been from that." If it isn't clear yet, it shall be spelled out now: This man has no real qualms about talking about anything. He is very open; even a little excited, though he does keep his voice lowered, more for her sake than anything else. He's not embarrassed with what he likes, and in fact, has a sort of innocent pride in it. <br><br>"Yes. Masochism is deriving pleasure from pain. But their's different types of pain. Good pain and bad pain. If I slam my hand down on this hot grill? That's bad pain. That's not enjoyable. But if you wanted to drag your nails along my back? That'd be an example of good pain." As she goes off to get her own, he takes a few sips from his. <br><br>"It's hot out and it's a cold drink." He said with a slight grin. "I'm usually not that fond of it, myself. I prefer hard liquor, in moderation.&nbsp; I've drank to sickness before. Won't do it again, though. Besides, the nights are funner when you can actually remember who it is you're waking up next to, and what you did with them." This last bit is said a bit more jokingly. <br><br>The dogs and burgers were nearly done by now, and he was off to get paper or glass plates, whichever he could find first, and to start slicing buns and rolls. He'd start plating the food soon after, calling out "Food's done!"

"honestly I considered not coming because at first I wante to hurt by boy.. ex boyfriend because he really made a mess of things but I'm starting to realize i'm just as guilty for allowing it.&nbsp; I've thought about it and I'm here to try to find my old self, and why not start by doing something you'd never think about doing?" she looked up at Jacob and hoped he understood, not confident she explained her feelings correctly but feeling like she was being open.&nbsp; Sarah took another sip of beer and smiled at bit as Erik announced the food was ready.&nbsp; She accepted Jacob's offered hand and stood, collecting her feet before letting his hand go with an appreciative smile.&nbsp; "Thanks for the hand." she said lower being so close to him and she admired his physique and how his abs rippled as he moved, the way his back muscles bunched as her effortlessly helped her up.&nbsp; &nbsp;'he's hot.' she thought to herself and subconsciously moved her hair behind her, it starting to lighten as the pool water dried.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sarah adjusted the bottom of her bikini as it had ridden up over one cheek and smiled, "shall we go find the food?"

He laughed a bit as he worked on preparing the food, having all the burgers and dogs plated on their rolls and buns, and set out on the table with all the condiments.&nbsp; "It's kind of embarrassing, but just looking at porn when I was younger. My uncle had a stash of interesting magazines, shall we say. I got curious, experimented with it when I got older." He would explain all this, quite casually as he worked on fixing up his own burger; just pickles and ketchup for himself. He'd take it, and his beer, over to the table, settling down next to Natalie.<br><br>"If you'd like, I could tell you more about it...maybe show you some things tomorrow." He would cast a glance towards Natalie. "I was hoping I'd get to have the honor of being with you tonight?" As his question leaves his lips, he would begin to eat.

He took a drink of his beer and then continued.&nbsp; "Nothing much deeper than that, just thought it'd be an interesting way to kill a week."&nbsp; He eagerly devoured the burger as the group mingled.&nbsp; He was curious to see how the evening and week would play out.&nbsp; He got up and helped himself to a second burger and another beer, Rick had a metabolism like a blast furnace and usually ate quite a bit.&nbsp; Cracking open the beer he took a measured drink, he had long since mastered the art of buzz control, the alcohol being the hardest element of it given how 'clunky' a drug it was.&nbsp; He smiled and leaned back in his chair, enjoying the scenery and conversation.

				"This does look like some great food."&nbsp; Jacob agreed, approaching the plates and taking one up, then proceeding to get his burgers.&nbsp; It took him a moment, but he dressed them up just how he liked it.&nbsp; God, it had been so long since he had a BBQ burger.&nbsp; He took a bite out of it.&nbsp; "Oh god, this is good.&nbsp; My compliments to the cheff."&nbsp; Jacob commented, grinning ear to ear.<br><br>As Sarah had left room for Jacob, he decided to sit beside her, as they had already shared a few words.&nbsp; He washed his burger down with some cold beer as he watched the group slowly seem to come together.&nbsp; Food did tend to do that, after all.&nbsp; He watched as Sarah asked the others what they were talking about and remained silent for the moment, curoious about the answer.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				Natalie blushed self-consciously at hearing Sarah's question, not really sure how to answer it.&nbsp; She took a bite of her burger, to give herself time to come up with something that was still true, but that was neutral.&nbsp; If Erik wanted to bring it up, that was fine, but she wasn't sure how he'd feel about her mentioning their topic of conversation to the whole group.&nbsp; Talking with one person about what you were into was one thing, but some people who were perfectly fine discussing anything and everything on an individual basis were shy when it came to a group.&nbsp; She didn't know Erik's personality all that well just yet, and she didn't want to make him uncomfortable.<br><br>"Not much, really," she answered her friend after a minute.&nbsp; "Just talking about some of our hobbies," she added casually, which was true, but it also gave Erik an out if he didn't want to into the details.

				Yeah. One or two people, that was okay; everybody present? That was a little weird, and probably not just for himself, either.&nbsp; Some people may not be particularly interested in hearing about it, especially when they're eating. Natalie gave him an out, but should he use it or not...<br><br>"And some ideas for later." He'd say, leaving it open ended. It was the truth, but it also was very nonspecific; people could take that as they wanted to. Hell, everybody else probably has some ideas about later, too. <br><br>He munched away at his food, pleased with himself, and occasionally paused to sip down some beer. <br><br>"Glad everybody's enjoying the food," he'd say, after a time. "Anybody ever have a dessert wine before? I've got some home brewed mead I brought along. It's a sweet, sipping drink. Not too much alcohol to it, though. I'll bring some out for anybody that wants to give it a go."

				Sarah finished her hot dog and picked at the rest of the items she had taken, giving a thumbs up to Ariana at the beans.&nbsp; She took a long sip of her beer and was glad it sunny outside.&nbsp; She look at few looks at the men around the table and "bumped" into Jacob a few times in a playful manner, feeling really good about the choice to come.&nbsp; 'these people could really be good friends...' she thought and smiled at the thought of bringing them all back to meet her mom and dad.&nbsp; Sarah barely held back the laugh not wanting to explain her thought or make anyone uncomfortable.&nbsp; <br><br>"Erik, I'll try some..." She offered to his offer and looked at the others around the table.&nbsp; &nbsp;It was funny how they seemed to be pairing off, even while amoung each other. Sarah made some general assumptions about what was going to happen and it made her nervous and excited and she could feel the butterflies in her stomach flutter as the day started to grow long.&nbsp; Sarah watched Natalie and would smile and wave to her and Ariana, since they were the females in this party and she felt that bonding with them would be smart.

				Natalie gave Erik a sideways smile of thanks, glad he hadn't seen fit to embarrass her by giving details of what the two of them had been talking about.<br><br>"I'll try some too, it sounds good," she told him, getting up to take her empty plate to the kitchen.&nbsp; "Does anyone else want me to take anything for them, or bring anything back?" she asked them in general, not minding helping to clean up, thinking it only fair, since they were going to be staying here.&nbsp; They might as well do their part to keep things neat, after all.

				the playful 'bumping' into jacob was noticed and returned in a playful manner as well, jacob having to fight back the urge to reach over and give Sarah's side a playful tickle in response.&nbsp; That could wait for later, he noted.&nbsp; The had plenty of time for that stuff later.&nbsp; Speaking of which, perhaps the games should get started?<br><br>jacob quickly munched back his food as the others ate and talked.&nbsp; Once he was done, he stood up, speaking to those who were listening with a slightly authoritive tone.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Well, first lets all give a round of thanks to Eric and Arriana for cooking the food.&nbsp; it deffinitly hit the spot.&nbsp; Now that we've all eaton though, and had a few minutes to talk, shall we all play a game of truth or card?"&nbsp; Jacob asked, holding up the playing deck in his hand.&nbsp; "All those who wish to play, please come and meet me over by the table."&nbsp; Jacob indicated a large glass table with an umbrella sticking out the middle of it.&nbsp; it was big enough for everybody to fit, though they would be in close proximity.

				Sarah grinned up at Jacob and the mention of the game.&nbsp; She could feel everyone at the table thinking the same thing and she nodded, standing and moving over to the glass table.&nbsp; She hesitated for a moment before moving next to Jacob and watching the others.&nbsp; It seemed like the pairing was working out but everyone seemed friendly and compatible.&nbsp; The butterflies were starting to fade and she found herself stealing glances at Jacob but trying not to be obvious about it.&nbsp; "So... Who thinks the host should go first?" Sarah asked and nudged him playfully before raising her hand and waving it like a kid trying to answer a question in class.&nbsp; She smiled at him and watched the others.

				Catching Jacob's announcement, and having finished her food, Natalie moved to join him and Sarah over at the other table, after giving Erik and Ariana a quiet smile and a thank you for fixing the food.&nbsp; She left room on her other side, in case anyone else was up for the game, giving Sarah a pleased smile at seeing how she seemed to be making friends with Jacob easily.<br><br>"That has my vote," she grinned.&nbsp; "It's only fair, since it was his idea.&nbsp; He can show the rest of us how it works."

				"Oh, so thats how its going to work?"&nbsp; Jacob laughed as the two girls at the table had seemed to have teamed up against him.&nbsp; Well, he supposed all was fair in matters of the sexs, and as they outnumbered him at the moment, it only made sense.&nbsp; "Fine, fine.&nbsp; Since i'm the only one at the table with any balls, i'll go first.&nbsp; You both might even get the chance to see them before the game is over."&nbsp; Jacob teased.<br><br>"Well, here is how we'll play the game.&nbsp; We'll go clockwise.&nbsp; One person askes another a question.&nbsp; The person can answer it, or if they want, select a card.&nbsp; The cards will be different tyes of punishments.&nbsp; For example, a heart that is from 1 to 10 will be to strip an article of clothing. Spades 1 to 10, you get spanked for ten seconds by somebody to your right.&nbsp; Clubs 1 to 10, you have to play footsie with the person to your right for ten seconds.&nbsp; Diamands 1 to 10, Sit on a person to your rights lap for thirty seconds.&nbsp; Jack to ace of hearts, bend over and touch your toes for thirtys seconds in front of everybody, Jack to ace of spades, kiss the person to your right for ten seconds.&nbsp; Jack to ace of Clubs, get felt up by the person to your right for thirty seconds.&nbsp; Jack to ace of diamonds, sit in the person to your rights lap for thirty seconds.&nbsp; Both Jokers and both rule cards mean that you get to choose another person who then has to draw a penalty card.&nbsp; Simple enough?"&nbsp; Jacob asked.&nbsp; &nbsp;"And as I'm assuming you want to T or D me first, you ladies go ahead."&nbsp; He grinned at them.&nbsp; "Oh, and for funs sake, you can't take Truth two times in a row.&nbsp; That makes it a little more interesting, don't you think?"&nbsp; Jacob winked.
