}{\insrsid2832385 I en}{\insrsid14242359 tered the }{\insrsid10298977 chalet }{\insrsid14242359 quietly. }{\insrsid2832385 The ste}{\insrsid16073539 reo blared }{\insrsid10298977 down from the main room}{\insrsid14164423 ,}{\insrsid16073539 and }{
\insrsid10298977 people stood}{\insrsid2832385 at the top of the stairs. I slipped off my boots and padded }{\insrsid14242359 up the steps}{\insrsid11406296 , coming up}{\insrsid14242359 }{\insrsid2832385
behind Rod and Neil, who had their backs to the entryway as they watched the main room.}{\insrsid1121567
}{\insrsid2832385
\'93Just wait until I tell that asshole about this trip,\'94 Rod }{\insrsid4804176 shouted }{\insrsid2832385 to Neil. \'93He\rquote ll shit his pants.\'94
\'93Serves the fucker right,\'94 Neil }{\insrsid4804176 shouted back}{\insrsid11406296 .}{\insrsid2832385
}{\i\insrsid2832385\charrsid10298977 Tell?}{\insrsid2832385 So much for Hayley\rquote s promise that what happened in Vermont stayed in Vermont. She obviously didn\rquote t have all of her puppets dancing to the same tune.
I couldn\rquote t see what Rod and Neil were looking at, and }{\insrsid11406296 they were sure to notice me soon.}{\insrsid2832385
\'93Excuse me, guys,\'94 I said. They turned, surprised to see me, but let me pass.
}{\insrsid14242359
Then }{\insrsid11100290 I saw what }{\insrsid13451177 had captured their attention}{\insrsid11100290 .}{\insrsid14242359 The stereo was up loud because the other girls were listening to it while they soaked in the hot tub. }{\insrsid5523944 Well}{
\insrsid14242359 , sat on the edge}{\insrsid5523944 really}{\insrsid11100290 , dangling their feet in the water}{\insrsid14242359 . At least Gina, Cassie, and Regan were}{\insrsid11406296 , }{\insrsid14242359 and }{\insrsid11406296 they }{
\insrsid14242359 were completely nude. No wonder the guys were watching. I quickly glanced around the main room. Yes, }{\insrsid9110027 an open bottle of vodka }{\insrsid7281015 sat }{\insrsid9110027 on the counter near a }{\insrsid4804176 now-}{
\insrsid9110027 familiar silver tray. I decided to escape to my room.}{\insrsid14242359
}{\insrsid9110027
I sat there for some time, mulling over Hayley\rquote s threat. I was sure it was a threat. }{\insrsid5193802 My heart started pounding}{\insrsid9110027 , thinking about what Barry would do if Hayley talked to him. Or talked to his father. }{
\insrsid15342870 I knew s}{\insrsid9110027 he could make even the most innocent thing sound awful. Barry would dump me or his father would make him dump me. I shuddered. Just thinking about it hurt.
I }{\insrsid1199912 knew}{\insrsid9110027 Hayley would be good on her word. If I let her get away with whatever she was plannin}{\insrsid10882804 g, she\rquote d keep her mouth shut. She\rquote d }{\insrsid1199912 rather}{\insrsid9110027
have something to hang over my head}{\insrsid1199912 indefinitely if she could}{\insrsid9110027 . }{\i\insrsid1199912\charrsid1199912 Yeah, s}{\i\insrsid9110027\charrsid1199912
he might like getting under my skin, but she was too smart to screw up when she had a winning ha}{\i\insrsid16073539\charrsid1199912 n}{\i\insrsid9110027\charrsid1199912 d.}{\insrsid9110027
I let out a deep breath. }{\i\insrsid9110027\charrsid13840665 All I had to do was stay out of Hayley\rquote s way and everything would be al}{\i\insrsid10882804\charrsid13840665 l }{\i\insrsid9110027\charrsid13840665 right. }{\insrsid9110027 She wouldn
\rquote t talk to Barry and I\rquote d be fine. She\rquote d probably}{\insrsid13451177 also}{\insrsid9110027 make sure that Rod, Regan, or any of the others didn\rquote t talk to Barry either.
}{\i\insrsid9110027\charrsid6245712 Probably.}{\insrsid9110027 That was an awfully slim word to hang my hopes on}{\insrsid2645186 , e}{\insrsid9110027 specially when I\rquote d just heard Rod say he was planning on telling someone}{\insrsid16535638
about this trip.}{\insrsid9110027
}{\insrsid16535638
}{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid6245712 Rod\emdash what the }{\i\insrsid6245712\charrsid6245712 heck }{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid6245712 was }{\i\insrsid2645186\charrsid6245712 his }{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid6245712 part in this?}{\insrsid16535638
He wasn\rquote t acting like a guy who\rquote d made a long trip solely to get back together with his girlfriend. In fact, he didn\rquote t }{\insrsid6245712 act }{\insrsid16535638 like he }{\insrsid6245712 cared }{\insrsid16535638
about Regan at all. And John had said he was doing a favor for Hayley}{\insrsid16332763 }{\i\insrsid16332763\charrsid16332763 and}{\insrsid16332763 Rod}{\insrsid16535638 .
}{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid13840665 Rod and Hayley had some sort of deal. }{\insrsid16535638 He wasn\rquote t up here for Regan at all, I realized. }{\insrsid6245712 It was s}{\insrsid16535638 omething else. I didn\rquote t know what, but it wasn
\rquote t Regan.
}{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid12744900 Which meant that Rod wasn\rquote t completely under Hayley\rquote s thumb}{\insrsid16535638 . He probably }{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid16535638 could}{\insrsid16535638 tell someone about }{\insrsid14828776 the }{
\insrsid16535638 trip and Hayley wouldn\rquote t be able to stop him.
}{\i\insrsid12744900\charrsid12744900 Hell}{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid12744900 .
}{\insrsid16535638
}{\i\insrsid16535638\charrsid12744900 On the plus side, it made my choice a lot easier.}{\insrsid16535638 I could try to stop Hayley}{\insrsid14828776 ,}{\insrsid16535638 and have her talk to Barry. Or I could not stop Hayley}{\insrsid14828776 ,}{
\insrsid16535638 and }{\insrsid9006667 have }{\insrsid16535638 Rod talk to Barry. Damned if I did, damned if I didn\rquote t.
}{\i\insrsid6689978\charrsid6689978 But my choice affected more than me.}{\insrsid6689978 If I didn\rquote t do anything, Hayley would take advantage of Cassie, now that Patricia was gone. But I could have the satisfaction of stopping her.}{
\insrsid16535638 That had to be worth a lot.
I was still stewing when Gina came in, }{\insrsid14828776 wrapped }{\insrsid16535638 in a towel.

\insrsid1330596 }{\insrsid12280155 athletic}{\insrsid1330596 . From the fit of the clothes and the sparkle of }{\insrsid10119806 their }{\insrsid1330596 jewelry, }{\insrsid15615754 they weren\rquote t poor}{\insrsid1330596 either.
}{\insrsid15927585
Hayley spotted }{\insrsid3488358 some people getting up from }{\insrsid15927585 a table}{\insrsid1121567 along one}{\insrsid8324551 }{\insrsid1121567 wall and}{\insrsid8324551 }{\insrsid3488358 pointed. She practically }{\insrsid8324551 pounced on it}

}{\insrsid9983513
On the far end of the table, the guys }{\insrsid14164423 were }{\insrsid9983513 giving John a hard time about some apparently spectacular wipeout he\rquote

Then, }{\insrsid14298641 a few minutes later, }{\insrsid1513680 a woman with long black hair came storming through the crowd. Hayley }{\insrsid7281015 hurried}{\insrsid1513680 up behind her and tugged on the woman\rquote
s arm just before she got to the bar. The woman whirled and said something angry. Hayley held her arms out, palms up, as if saying \lquote what can you do?\rquote Her words too were lost in the din.
The woman and Hayley continued to have words and gradually the woman calmed down. In the meantime, Regan had come up behind Hayley. Sh}{\insrsid5510576 e said some things to the woman}{\insrsid1513680 }{\insrsid5510576 which,}{\insrsid1513680
from Regan\rquote s facial expressions}{\insrsid5510576 ,}{\insrsid1513680 appeared to be an apology.
}{\insrsid4020396 While Regan was talking, Hayley stepped to the bar and}{\insrsid9769096 said something to the bartender}{\insrsid4020396 while pointing }{\insrsid13660565 at the}{\insrsid4020396 woman and then at Rod. }{\insrsid4009388 T}{

The woman slowly nodded}{\insrsid4009388 as Hayley spoke, and}{\insrsid4020396 }{\insrsid10119806 then }{\insrsid4020396 said a few words to Regan before pushing through the crowd }{\insrsid4009388 and}{\insrsid4020396 disappear}{\insrsid4009388 ing}{
\insrsid4020396 from sight. }{\insrsid4009388 Then}{\insrsid9057669 Regan came around to our side}{\insrsid4009388 of the table}{\insrsid9057669 while Hayley conferred with Rod.
\'93What a bitch!\'94 Regan }{\insrsid14635882 fumed}{\insrsid9057669 .
\'93What happened?\'94 Cassie asked.
\'93The bitch bumped into me,\'94 Regan }{\insrsid14635882 said}{\insrsid9057669 , \'93}{\insrsid14298641 which made}{\insrsid9057669 me spill into the sink. Then she had the gall to tell me it was my fault for being in her way!\'94
\'93So Regan told her off,\'94 Gina explained, \'93and she said she\rquote d }{\insrsid94050 get the bouncer}{\insrsid9057669 .\'94
\'93Not that he\rquote d }{\insrsid94050 do anything}{\insrsid9057669 !\'94 Regan snarled.
\'93You never know,\'94 I said.
\'93Well, it doesn\rquote t matter,\'94 Regan said. \'93Hayley fixed it}{\insrsid14635882 .\'94
}{\insrsid12518347 I looked at Hayley for an explanation.}{\insrsid9057669
}{\insrsid12518347
\'93Her drinks will go on Rod\rquote s tab,\'94 she said with a smug smile.

ng the rest of us. She left and returned with }{\insrsid14298641 a fresh round of drinks for the table.
The }{\insrsid4215479 din}{\insrsid14298641 in the bar increased. Margot started telling a story about a woman she encountered in the bathroom at a movie theater once, but I could only hear three words in }{\insrsid3821179 every }{\insrsid14298641
ten. I exchanged wry grins with Gina}{\insrsid4215479 }{\insrsid14298641 before leaning back and savoring my drink.
The bar did have a good vibe going. While it was too noisy for me, the }{\insrsid2522638 energy}{\insrsid14298641 was definitely contagious. A few people }{\insrsid14635882 were }{\insrsid14298641 dancing near the jukebox. }{\insrsid3936712
Two other tables were playing d}{\insrsid14298641 rinking games. The guys at our own table were slapping each other on the back and throwing playful punches, mostly in }{\insrsid6374751 John\rquote s }{\insrsid14298641 direction. Regan }{
\insrsid7745268 laughed}{\insrsid14298641 hysterically at something Margot had said. Only Cassie seemed to not be having fun\emdash her smiles were forced when Rod put new drinks in front of her and Gina.
Actually, Cassie wasn\rquote t the only one. I wasn\rquote t having fun}{\insrsid13989749 either.}{\insrsid14298641
I }{\insrsid13989749 had}{\insrsid14298641 a good buzz going, but }{\insrsid7674439 I wasn\rquote t relaxing}{\insrsid14298641 . }{\insrsid5510576 I was wound way too tight.}{\insrsid14298641
}{\insrsid10311335 The next round of drinks didn\rquote t help either. I couldn\rquote t stop watching Hayley at the other end of the table. After a while, she}{\insrsid14298641 }{\insrsid13989749 got }{\insrsid14298641 up and wander}{\insrsid10311335
ed}{\insrsid14298641 over behind Gina and Margot. She bent over and }{\insrsid8391767 interrupted them, saying something I couldn\rquote t hear. They all rose}{\insrsid14298641 and headed toward the bathroom, Regan joining them on the way.
}{\insrsid14890526
}{\i\insrsid14890526\charrsid15683664 Hayley. }{\i\insrsid15683664\charrsid15683664 It was her fault}{\i\insrsid5510576\charrsid15683664 . }{\i\insrsid14890526\charrsid15683664 I couldn\rquote t relax because of Hayley.
}{\insrsid15101385
While the other girls were gone, John apparently got tired of being given a hard time. He made some comment that started the other guys hooting and accusing him of running away. He came over and sat next to Cassie and me.}{\insrsid5775967
He only gave me a cursory nod before turning to }{\insrsid9571031 her}{\insrsid5775967 .}{\insrsid15101385

}{\insrsid7696705
}{\insrsid16002588 Something was}{\insrsid7696705 happening at one end of the bar. A woman with long blonde hair }{\insrsid7745268 sat}{\insrsid7696705 on the bar, her legs spread. }{\insrsid6374751 A guy crouched}{\insrsid7696705

\insrsid6297466 I thought. }{\insrsid13193790 Just when her knees started trembling and I began to d}{\insrsid14890526 oubt she could hold her hunched-}{\insrsid13193790 over position, she straightened }{\insrsid159290 and tossed her head back}{
\insrsid13193790 . She had the glass between her lips and }{\insrsid8737409 quickly swallowed}{\insrsid13193790 .
Hayley }{\insrsid11208837 just watched}{\insrsid13193790 as Cassie stepped forward and retrieved the glass. A }{\insrsid360205 trickle}{\insrsid13193790 of white liquid dribbled }{\insrsid360205 down}{\insrsid13193790 Gina\rquote s chin, but }{
\insrsid360205 she}{\insrsid13193790 }{\insrsid360205 wiped }{\insrsid13193790 it up before it drop}{\insrsid360205 ped}{\insrsid13193790 onto the towel. Tommy and John moaned}{\insrsid360205 ,}{\insrsid13193790
and I started clapping. Hayley joined in a moment later, congratulating Gina. }{\insrsid8737409 Regan}{\insrsid13193790 was still shooting daggers at Rod. He }{\insrsid360205 ignored her}{\insrsid13193790 , which seemed to piss her off further.
}{\insrsid13465241 Regan huffed loudly and stormed }{\insrsid4067116 out of the room}{\insrsid13465241 . John and Tommy }{\insrsid5378218 stared pointedly }{\insrsid13465241 at Rod, who sighed and hopped off the bar. He frowned}{\insrsid16477787
, looked back at the guys who were still staring at him,}{\insrsid13465241 and then sauntered toward the hall where Regan had gone.}{\insrsid11208837
}{\insrsid13975533
Tommy }{\insrsid16477787 got}{\insrsid13975533 up on the bar and lightly }{\insrsid11230025 tapped }{\insrsid13975533 the wood between his knees. Cassie }{\insrsid7633604 thrust}{\insrsid13975533 a towel into Hayley\rquote

Cassie appeared at my elbow to retrieve the final glass. I }{\insrsid5378218 turned}{\insrsid13975533 and apparently startled her. She jerked, sloshing the drink so }{\insrsid9731527 that }{\insrsid13975533
a little ran down the outside of the glass. She didn\rquote t notice as she picked it up and took it to where Tommy }{\insrsid7281015 waited}{\insrsid13975533 .
Hayley }{\insrsid730819 bent }{\insrsid13975533 down and put her hands behind her back. She looked at the glass and then stood up.
\'93It\rquote s already spilled,\'94 she announced.
\'93Oh}{\insrsid11230025 ,}{\insrsid13975533 I\rquote m sorry}{\insrsid11230025 !}{\insrsid13975533 I can get another}{\insrsid6957152 ,\'94}{\insrsid11230025 }{\insrsid13975533 Cassie }{\insrsid12979632 said}{\insrsid13975533

\'93No,\'94 she said}{\insrsid12979632 to Cassie}{\insrsid13975533 . \'93That\rquote s alright.\'94
With one quick motion, Hayley }{\insrsid11561402 knocked the glass over, soaking Tommy\rquote s pants}{\insrsid13975533 .}{\insrsid9731527 }{\insrsid11561402 She then turned and handed }{\insrsid9731527 it to Cassie.}{\insrsid13193790
}{\insrsid9731527
\'93Get your pants o}{\insrsid14890526 ff, big boy,\'94 she said to Tommy.}{\insrsid9731527
}{\insrsid14890526
Tommy hopped off the bar and started unbuttoning his jeans. Hayley didn\rquote t wait and began helping him tug them down.}{\insrsid14173726 His }{\insrsid10823964 hard }{\insrsid14173726 cock sprang free}{\insrsid10823964 .}{\insrsid14173726
Hayley slid the head in}{\insrsid6957152 to}{\insrsid14173726 her mouth. Tommy }{\insrsid12979632 put }{\insrsid14173726 his hands on the back of }{\insrsid12979632 her }{\insrsid14173726 head. She stopped sucking, pulled back, and said }{
\insrsid12979632 something}{\insrsid14173726 to him. }{\insrsid12979632 He }{\insrsid14173726 put his hands by his side and }{\insrsid12979632 she }{\insrsid14173726 resumed blowing him}{\insrsid12979632 .
}{\insrsid14173726 I watched for a minute before glancing around the room}{\insrsid12979632 . }{\insrsid1260841 }{\insrsid14173726 John }{\insrsid7281015 stood}{\insrsid14173726

\'93Will you excuse us?\'94 I said to John when I }{\insrsid15957603 reached }{\insrsid13641399 Cassie and }{\insrsid15957603 him.

}{\insrsid7026681 I took a couple of deep breaths myself. I didn\rquote t know if Hayley would be pissed at me for getting Cassie out of her clutches, but I\rquote d already made }{\insrsid1791909 my }{\insrsid6116630 choice}{\insrsid7026681
. It was worth it. }{\insrsid6116630 I took a few more deep breaths to make sure I had control of my nerves. Then }{\insrsid7026681 I strode back to the main room.
Tommy was on his back while Hayley rode him, slowly }{\insrsid13660565 rising}{\insrsid7026681 up and down on }{\insrsid1260841 him}{\insrsid7026681 . John obviously didn\rquote t miss Cassie, because Ha}{\insrsid8006243 yley }{\insrsid1791909 was}{

}{\insrsid1791909 On the far side of the room, }{\insrsid8006243 Margot }{\insrsid7281015 moaned}{\insrsid8006243 . She was bent over the arm of a couch while Neil pounded into her from behind. He }{\insrsid1791909 had worked }{\insrsid8006243

I said farewell to Gina, who was obviously going to continue watching for a while, and then headed toward the hallway. John only gave me a quick glance, as he was trying to stroke himself hard for round two. Margot\rquote

I closed the door to my room and took a deep breath. I was a little more shaken than I\rquote d expected. I}{\insrsid6956858 \lquote d also been }{\insrsid7165543 slow. I could have reacted faster and stopped the whole stupid }{\insrsid7150096 b}{

}{\insrsid8389283 The next morning I made it a point to find Cassie and ask her if she wanted to be my ski buddy for the day. She readily agreed and we had a really good time. For once, we didn\rquote

and asked a lot of questions about what it was like to be in a serious relationship. She giggled at my silly grins and assured me that things would be fine when I }{\insrsid12459770 worried}{\insrsid14883480 about Barry}{\insrsid8389283 . }{

}{\i\insrsid2186964\charrsid13597682 Except Rod hated Paul and thought he was an asshol}{\i\insrsid2186964\charrsid13177516 e. He wouldn\rquote t care if Paul knew.}{\insrsid2186964
}{\insrsid13660565 Then I}{\insrsid2186964 remembered what Rod had told Neil when I\rquote d gotten back from my walk. He couldn\rquote t wait to tell }{\insrsid10423152 \'93}{\insrsid2186964 that }{\insrsid10423152 asshole\'94 }{\insrsid2186964
about the trip.
}{\i\insrsid6504337\charrsid13597682 Of course!}{\insrsid2186964 Rod wanted to }{\insrsid199675 have sex with }{\insrsid2186964 Gina, }{\insrsid199675 and}{\insrsid10423152 also }{\insrsid14883480 rub }{\insrsid10423152 i}{\insrsid14883480 t in Paul

}{\insrsid3351139 During the meal, I quietly watched the others. Hayley was boisterous, but I realized she was also carefully watching Regan, Rod, Gina}{\insrsid10423152 ,}{\insrsid3351139 and me. }{\insrsid8150525 She just smiled whenever I c}{

Rod was up to something else, he might not be able to get away with it.}{\insrsid3351139
}{\insrsid8671161
The hard part was getting Regan alone. All through dinner, she was either in the group or going to the restroom with Hayley and Margot. }{\insrsid5339021 I had}{\insrsid8671161 no opportunity to pull her aside.
}{\insrsid6379167 When we }{\insrsid2456840 returned}{\insrsid6379167 to the chalet, }{\insrsid8671161 Regan stayed in the main room }{\insrsid6379167 with everyone else. }{\insrsid8671161 Margot turned on the stereo and Tommy and John }{
\insrsid10423152 went }{\insrsid8671161 behind the bar and }{\insrsid8063659 poured }{\insrsid8671161 drinks. Hayley got out the silver tray and looked at Rod.
\'93I\rquote ll go get it,\'94 he said, and disappeared down the hall. He returned with a large bag of cocaine. }{\insrsid10423152 He }{\insrsid8671161 poured a little bit out onto the tray and began }{\insrsid10618865 cutting }{\insrsid8671161
it into lines.
\'93We\rquote re going to use all of that?\'94 Neil asked, pointing at the bag.
\'93Nah,\'94 Rod said. \'93Most of that\rquote s for something else.\'94}{\insrsid986164 His eyes flicked to Hayley as he said it.}{\insrsid8671161
}{\insrsid986164
}{\i\insrsid16146452\charrsid14637069 Of course!}{\insrsid986164 }{\insrsid6961089 What did Rod have that Hayley would want? C}{\insrsid11078320 oke!}{\insrsid6961089 That bag contained quite a bit}{\insrsid10618865 ,}{\insrsid6961089

}{\insrsid16146452
I }{\insrsid10618865 frowned}{\insrsid16146452 . }{\i\insrsid16146452\charrsid14964345 I had to talk to Regan.}{\insrsid11078320 But discreetly. That could be tricky.
}{\insrsid16146452
Cassie hung back as everyone else snorted a line. Instead, she drifted over to the bar and poured herself a }{\insrsid11078320 rum punch. }{\i\insrsid11078320\charrsid14637069 That was something else I needed to avoid tonight}{\insrsid11078320

\insrsid11078320 I joined Cassie at the bar and poured myself some punch}{\insrsid10618865 ,}{\insrsid11078320 sans rum. No one }{\insrsid13660565 would know}{\insrsid7893380 . No one would know}{\insrsid485248 at all}{\insrsid7893380 .}{
\insrsid16146452
}{\insrsid7893380
I had to calm down}{\insrsid10618865 , so }{\insrsid7893380 I leaned against the bar. Margot and Hayley started dancing in the middle of the room. They }{\insrsid14965279 swayed}{\insrsid7893380 wit}{\insrsid14965279 h the beat}{\insrsid8746090
, gyrating and laughing}{\insrsid7893380 . The}{\insrsid288550 n the}{\insrsid7893380 y pulled Regan and Gina up and got them moving. The guys were just sitting around watching, calling to Cassie to bring them drinks. She }{\insrsid8746090

}{\insrsid7893380
After a couple of songs, the beat changed to something more }{\insrsid10618865 up-}{\insrsid7893380 tempo. Margot tried to pull Neil onto the makeshift dance floor}{\insrsid10618865 ,}{\insrsid7893380 but he balked. Rod }{\insrsid288550
gave Margot a look, so she}{\insrsid7893380 }{\insrsid3046376 quit}{\insrsid7893380 .
Regan slowed down dancing and said }{\insrsid15472279 something}{\insrsid7893380 to Gina and Hayley. With a laugh and a wave of her arm, she }{\insrsid14164423 walked}{\insrsid7893380 toward the far hall. I }{\insrsid13991764 slipped into the hall}{
\insrsid7893380 and saw she was heading toward the bathroom. I decided to catch her on the way back and waited just out of sight of the main room.
\'93Hey}{\insrsid14965279 ,}{\insrsid7893380 Regan,\'94 I said when she emerged, \'93Rod\rquote s stunt with the drinking contest the other night\emdash \'94

\'93But what about when he tried to get in the shower with Gina?\'94 I blurted}{\insrsid15472279 .
}{\insrsid15104563 Regan shook her head and gave an exasperated sigh.}{\insrsid14437874 }{\insrsid4027912 }{\insrsid15104563 \'93He was just trying to get ready faster,\'94 she said. \'93Hayley pointed out that }{\insrsid14964345 a lot of us have}{

Of course there might be reasons for that. When I arrived in the main room, Regan was }{\insrsid8850373 snorting a line of coke}{\insrsid15104563 . Apparently several of the others already had.
}{\insrsid11148368 Hayley and Margot d}{\insrsid15104563 anc}{\insrsid11148368 ed}{\insrsid15104563 closely and slowly to what sounded like Barry White}{\insrsid11148368 . }{\insrsid15104563 Hayley }{\insrsid11148368 kissed}{\insrsid15104563 Margot}{
\insrsid11148368 , first lightly and then passionately}{\insrsid15104563 . After a minute}{\insrsid11148368 ,}{\insrsid15104563 Hayley pulled back
and crooked her finger at Gina, dancing nearby. Gina moved forward, but Margot stepped in the way and wrapped her arms around the darker girl. Their faces disappeared behind their hair. Not to be left out, Regan }{\insrsid11148368 joined the two}{
\insrsid15104563 girls. }{\insrsid14306928 They broke their embrace just enough for each of them to kiss Regan deep. Meanwhile Hayley stepped back, joining the crowd of watchers.}{\insrsid15104563
}{\insrsid14306928
Slowly the three girls continued to make out with each other. Regan was the first to begin removing clothes\emdash pulling off her own sweater before reaching for }{\insrsid4552346 Gina\rquote s}{\insrsid14306928 buttons. As if they were completely ob}
{\insrsid12280155 li}{\insrsid14306928 vious to the rest of us, they slowly stripped each other and sank to the floor.}{\insrsid11148368 I caught Gina\rquote s eyes for just a moment\emdash they were wide and wild. }{

}{\insrsid2704444 Regan ended up on her back, with Gina and Margot licking and sucking her breasts. Then Gina began to kiss her way }{\insrsid4552346 down toward Regan\rquote s pussy}{\insrsid2704444
. Margot pulled back and looked around at the rest of us and }{\insrsid13660565 smiled}{\insrsid2704444 a loopy}{\insrsid8850373 ,}{\insrsid2704444 wild grin.}{\insrsid14306928
}{\insrsid2704444
\'93Anyone else going to join in?\'94 }{\insrsid8850373 she }{\insrsid2704444 asked. The guys started murmuring, but before anyone could move, Hayley spoke up.
\'93Let\rquote s let the guys watch for a little while longer,\'94 she said. \'93Get them }{\i\insrsid2704444\charrsid2704444 really}{\insrsid2704444 hard.\'94
Margot nodded and started to straddle Regan\rquote s face. Before she could, Regan looked at Hayley and mouthed something. Gina just kept kissing Regan\rquote s lower body. Still on her hands and knees, she lowered her head to the blonde girl\rquote
s pussy and began to lick.
}{\insrsid11148368 Hayley sank to her knees behind Gina. She began stroking the darker girl\rquote s ass, and }{\insrsid9718113 she }{\insrsid11148368 ran her fingers over }{\insrsid9718113 Gina\rquote s}{\insrsid11148368

}{\insrsid3351139
}{\insrsid5899835 Hayley was slowly leading Rod around the circle of watchers. Neil, Tommy, and the others were too busy watching the girls to really notice. }{\insrsid6446000 Hayley and Rod }{\insrsid5899835 paused directly behind Gina, }{

}{\insrsid5899835 Rod\rquote s eyes lit up. From where he was standing, }{\insrsid16136189 I realized, }{\insrsid5899835 he had a great view of }{\insrsid16136189 Gina\rquote s ass and pussy}{\insrsid5899835 . }{\insrsid6446000 He }{\insrsid5899835

}{\insrsid6883685
I was definitely getting wet. Far wetter than I\rquote d ever expected to be with a girl. Gina had already found just the right }{\insrsid14245507 spot, and }{\insrsid6883685 my clit }{\insrsid14245507 sent}{\insrsid6883685 mini-sparks w

\'93I\rquote ve never done this,\'94 I said}{\insrsid15413666 .}{\insrsid6883685
}{\insrsid15413666 She understood my unspoken \'93with a girl.\'94 She smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling}{\insrsid6883685 . \'93}{\insrsid15413666 I think you\rquote ll like it}{\insrsid6883685 .\'94

\insrsid6883685 between her thighs and she ground down hard. I could feel her wetness against my skin.
}{\insrsid15413666 She }{\insrsid6883685 began covering my face in kisses, concentrating on my cheek and behind my ear. I let out a small squeak when she hit a sensitive spot}{\insrsid15413666 ,}{\insrsid6883685 }{\insrsid14965279 but}{\insrsid6883685
she just chuckled and returned to it again and again and again.
}{\insrsid7488490 My thoughts scattered}{\insrsid6883685 . My blood was on fire under her assault and I began }{\insrsid5180972 moaning softly}{\insrsid6883685 . Gina shushed me with a kiss and then }{\insrsid5180972 moved}{\insrsid6883685 lower.
}{\insrsid5180972 She }{\insrsid6883685 didn\rquote t spend much time on my breasts, just gently }{\insrsid5180972 kissing }{\insrsid6883685
each nipple for a moment before moving on. She could sense my need. After teasing me by running her tongue around my belly button, she lowered herself and gave my }{\insrsid15866195 slit }{\insrsid6883685 one long wet lick.
I gasped and shuddered. }{\insrsid5180972 She }{\insrsid6883685 repeated the lick. This time I moaned. I quickly lost track of exactly what she was doing}{\insrsid1773036 , but it all felt }{\insrsid10831581 incredible}{\insrsid1773036

and a few minutes after that I began crying out and thrashing as I came. The waves hit hard and fast, leaving me exhausted when they finally faded.
I felt Gina get off the bed. I was able to focus on her, giving me at least a little semblance of control, and saw }{\insrsid155157 her open}{\insrsid6883685 her suitcase. She pulled out a long plastic phallus.
\'93Ready for Rocky?\'94 she asked}{\insrsid13708568 .

Gina started gasping. It felt strange, feeling the vibrations through her. Apparently it wasn\rquote t strange to Gina. She moan}{\insrsid14164423 ed}{\insrsid9730938 and }{\insrsid3568116 trembl}{\insrsid14164423 ed}{\insrsid3568116

went stiff with a cry before again collapsing back onto the bed.
I turned }{\insrsid8869952 off }{\insrsid9730938 the vibrator and set it aside. Then I moved up until I was lying next to Gina.

}{\insrsid7224781 I woke up early, before Gina, my bladder insistent. I slipped out of bed, }{\insrsid6313856 pulled }{\insrsid7224781 on some sweats, and headed to the bathroom. Walking back, I decided to see what the }{\insrsid9912602 mess }{
\insrsid7224781 was in the main room.

But }{\insrsid9653328 I was going to have to think long and carefully about }{\insrsid7410080 our relationship}{\insrsid9653328 . I sat and stewed, drinking my coffee.
}{\insrsid14630414
}{\insrsid3014755 After some time, the front door banged open. I figured it was the maid and checked the clock. No, the maid must have been here a while. I heard voices and }{\insrsid7410080 moments}{\insrsid3014755

\'93We\rquote ll catch up later,\'94 Patricia said. She and Rusty }{\insrsid14876947 rushed }{\insrsid3014755 down the hall.
}{\insrsid14568745
I continued to sit and sip my coffee. Slowly the }{\insrsid14876947 chalet }{\insrsid14568745 seemed to come alive. The maid came out and started picking up the }{\insrsid14876947 great }{\insrsid14568745 room. She glanced at me, but when I didn

Author\rquote s Afterword:
This story arose from a discussion on Nick Scipio\rquote s Yahoo forum about \lquote the truth\rquote of what happened in Vermont. I suggested Nick write that \'93lost chapter\'94 from the point a view of a different character. Nick challeng
ed me to write it, and, in a moment of foolishness, I agreed.
For this was a significant challenge. T}{\insrsid2444691 hirteen}{\insrsid2054684 of the fourteen characters in }{\i\insrsid2054684\charrsid2054684 Devil}{\insrsid2054684 make at least brief appearances in Book 3 of }{\i\insrsid2054684\charrsid2054684
Summer Camp}{\insrsid2054684 . I\rquote ve had to be consistent with how these characters talked and behaved, even though they were now seen through the eyes of a different narrator. Some were brief enough, like Patricia who isn\rquote t even named in }
{\i\insrsid2054684\charrsid2054684 Summer Camp}{\insrsid2054684 , to give me lots of room to work. Some were so complex, like Gina, that I knew every word would be scrutinized for consistency.
Additionally, my plot was very constrained. I had to match events that happened before and after the trip, again to a level that would survive scrutiny. In the end, with the generous help of Nick and his reality team, I think it all worked out.
However, the challenge was not my only interest in this story. I wanted to examine the struggle to remain moral and \lquote good\rquote in an amoral environment. All too often our behavior changes to conform with our peer group; som
ething heavily documented by psychologists }{\insrsid1464556 and in literature elsewhere (ex: }{\i\insrsid1464556\charrsid1464556 Lord of the Flies}{\insrsid1464556 ).}{\insrsid2054684
How would someone who is fairly normal like Jessica handle being in a microcosm controlled by someone like Hayley? How would she \lquote deal with the devil\rquote ? The answer to that question is the story that you\rquote ve just read.
I know that not all the loose ends have been wrapped up. I can only say that they weren\rquote t part of the trip. Someday}{\insrsid7736562 ,}{\insrsid2054684 Paul or Jessica may tell us what happened after Jess and Patricia and Hayley
returned to campus, but then again, they may not.}{\insrsid12731976 In the immortal words of Nick}{\insrsid2054684 Scipio: \'93You\rquote ll have to read to find out.\'94
