“Almost,” Tess laughed back. “Or until he pulls out the toys. ”
“Oh God. I shouldn’t have to listen to this. ” Ella covered her ears in mock horror. “That’s my daughter. ”
“Prude,” Tess chuckled.
“Not anymore, Tess,” Terrie pointed out with a laugh. “James and Sax reformed her. ”
Ella’s blush covered her upper chest, neck and face as she splashed water back at her friend.
Marey glanced at Kimberly then, seeing the flush that filled her face, the way her eyes lowered. Ella had admitted it had been damned near impossible to talk Kimberly into joining the group, because of her past exploits with Sax at the Club.
“Sax as a reformer,” Marey drawled. “Now that one is hard to imagine. ”
She ducked as Ella splashed water at her, before chuckling easily. It was odd, being amongst this group, all of them together at once. She had avoided the larger gatherings over the past year, unwilling and unable to bear the frank discussions she knew arose within them.
“Of course he is, Marey,” Tally entered the joviality then. “He’s reforming you. I bet he’s already choosing prospective seconds now. Maybe that’s what all the secrecy is all about. ”
Her tilted eyes sparkled with amusement and fondness as Marey shot her a dark look.
“It occurs to me, that the five of you are finding much too much amusement in this,” she announced haughtily. “Maybe I’ll reform Sax. ”
Laughter erupted around her at her comment.
“Yeah, I can see that one happening,” Ella toasted her with her wineglass. “Let me know when it works, hon, and we’ll all enjoy our fun and games in your memory as we make a note to keep our men away from yours. If you reform the Trojans, we might all have to hurt you. ”
Marey rolled her eyes, shaking her head at the knowledge that her friends relished the occasional threesomes their husbands provided, and the more extreme sexuality they possessed.
“I can’t see Sax reforming,” Kimberly spoke then as though forcing herself to face a problem head-on. “Any more than the others would. ”
“Sax definitely does seem to enjoy the screams he inspires,” Ella chuckled. “Are you screaming yet, Marey?”
“Remind me to kill you, Ella,” Marey growled affectionately. “How do the five of you do this? Sit and discuss this? Jess had sex with Tessa, but I’ll be damned, Terrie, if it bothers you in the least. Lucian had fun and games with Terrie. The five of you should be mortal enemies. ”
“Yeah, and Sax played really nice with me and Kimberly,” Ella pointed out with a smirk. “But you still love us. ”
“I’m still debating your worth, Ella,” Marey gave her friend a mock snarl. “I didn’t say I wasn’t just as perverted as the rest of you, I’m just pointing out how damned odd we are. ”
“No odder than the men of that Club,” Kimberly pointed out then, accepting the refill of her wineglass from Ella. “I’ve never seen so many men gather in one place, and actually get along. They don’t stress over their women fucking around, and they don’t get pissed over the games. I’ve actually heard them discussing positions and how loud it would make the women scream. ” She rolled her eyes. “They’re worse than us. ”
“How many are in that damned club now?” Tess opened her eyes for that one.
Kimberly, though she no longer had limited membership after her marriage, had been one of the few women allowed the freedom to come and go within the mysterious estate that housed The Club.
“The last I heard, there were more than fifty members. ” Kimberly shrugged. “Though, I would say twenty regulars. ”
According to Ella, they had stopped pressing the other woman for names months before.
“Yeah, Kimberly was their practice piece,” Tally laughed as the other woman flushed crimson.
“It amazes me no one has murdered you yet,” Kimberly growled, narrowing her eyes on the other woman. “That was snide, Tally. ”
“Naw, that was Tally’s jealousy,” Marey assured the other woman with a slight wink. “She’s still pissed you were able to get in and she wasn’t. ”
Tally sniffed arrogantly. “I would have, of course, been a perfect choice,” she declared, surveying her nails with an air of offended pride.
“Sure you would have,” Terrie drawled. “If they wanted to follow your orders and obey your unwritten, unvoiced little rules. You were supposed to submit, Tally,” she reminded her with a laugh. “Not them. ”
