Arriving at the party

“Jody and them will be meeting us there.”

John was sat with Claire in the taxi on the way to the party. He was a little nervous being around so many people he didn’t know. He had texted Annie the details but she hadn’t replied so he could only hope she’d be there. Claire was going over some last-minute details.

“Mom’s getting you the day off school tomorrow for the therapy session so you got no excuse to go easy tonight.” John hadn’t seen Lilith at all since getting home as she’d been resting off her hangover all day. Claire had stuck her head in to let her know what they were doing.

“Hey sis, why did you bring me along to this?”

“I thought this would be a good chance to hang out with my bro.” It was a very sweet answer but he reckoned she had an agenda. “Besides, there’s a shot that you come out of this with some girl’s number.”

“Ah, there’s the real reason.”

“Hey, you’re having trouble with sex, right? I bet losing your V-card is just the ticket to getting you fixed up.” It was true he was still a virgin, so she might have been on the right track. John didn’t think it was appropriate at all to let her in on the other sexual activities he had been participating in, including with their own mother.

“Tell you what, if one of us gets someone’s number tonight, the other one has to do their chores for a week.”

“That’s not fair. You’re a girl.”

“Hey, I won’t be going for anyone just fawning over my body. That cuts out like 90% of the boys there.” John didn’t think it was possible for a drunk college boy to not fawn over a body like hers. But if there was one thing about Claire, it was how competitive she was. Even if she wanted to go easy on him, she would still probably try to win. He did already have one girls’ number so he could always cheat if needed. “So, you up for it?”

“Fine, you’re on”

“Oh, and you also need to show me the girl too or you could have just made up any number.” That shot that idea down. Now he had extra reason for hoping Annie would make it.

“Don’t worry bro. We’ll get you laid tonight. If nothing else, I know the best girls that will put out when they’re drunk and just what you need to say to them to get them on their back.”

“You know all that?”

“Sure, I was into all the gossip at school. Boys never shut up about that sort of thing. Um, you’re a boob-guy, right? There’s a few girls I think will pique your interests.”

Claire never talked about this kind of thing with John. She might ask him if he had a girlfriend every now and then but she always skirted around any sexual talk. John had to wonder if something had changed recently or if she really was that worried about him.

“Looks like we’re here.” They had pulled up on a quiet suburban street. The houses here were way bigger than the ones around where John lived. The house they had stopped at must have been at least four stories tall.

“Nick’s got the biggest house of anyone and his parents are fine with him having parties there so most of the big events usually happen here.” He could see why. It looked big enough to fit half his school inside. He had to wonder how the family came to own it.

His sister had already paid the fare and was walking ahead to the front door so John rushed to catch up. The door was already open to admit guests and John could hear music and the buzzing of conversation from inside. Just inside the door was a well-trimmed young man in a tidy shirt, who Claire turned to face.

“Hey Nick.”

“Claire! It’s been so long. I’m glad you could make it. How have you been?” The man, who appeared to be the host, stepped up and offered his arms wide for Claire, who accepted the hug. As their bodies pressed against each other, John felt something odd akin to a protective instinct. They exchanged pleasantries and the man finished off with a peck on Claire’s cheek before turning to John.

“So, who is this you’ve brought with you? Your new boyfriend?”

“N-No, I’m John, her brother.”

“Well John, very glad to meet you. The name is Nicholas but call me Nick. Your sister is a wonderful gal so I’m sure we’re going to get on great, though you might not see much of me with how wild this party is looking to be.”

“You got some fun things planned out I bet?” Claire piped up.

“You know me too well Claire. No way I could host this big a party without some entertainments prepared. Did you bring your own drinks?”

“Yes, I brought some wine and I got some lager for my brother.”

“Starting off light John? Well if you feel in the mood for something heavier, come find me and I’ll fetch you something from the bar. It’ll make the night a lot smoother for you, I promise.”

“Thanks, I’ll do that.” Nick seemed to be a pretty nice guy and John was already warming up to him. As they talked, a girl came up behind Nick and linked her arm around him. She had a look of revilement as she looked at Claire. Nick turned his neck to look at her.

“Hey babe. What’s up?”

“Can I talk to you alone for a minute?”

“Alright. You two, make yourselves at home. There’s already plenty of guests here. First game starts in two hours so get yourselves limbered up for it.”

He turned to allow the girl to lead him away. John figured she was probably his girlfriend. As John followed Claire into the house, she turned to whisper to him.

“John, I think you should know. Nick is an ex of mine from high school.”

“I didn’t know you were dating anyone in high school.”

“Yeah, well I wasn’t too sure about it so I kept it secret from you and mom. It only lasted a few months before I got cold feet and broke it off with him. We broke up on good terms though. That other girl there though, I don’t think I’m on such good terms with…”

John waited for Claire to continue but when she didn’t, he figured it would be best to drop the matter for now. Meanwhile, the girl dragged Nick into an empty room and shut the door behind them.

“The fuck is that bitch doing here?” The sudden burst of anger left Nick surprised.

“It’s an open party babe.”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“She’s only my ex. I swear there’s no feelings there.”

“No, I know that. It’s not about that.”

“Then what is it about?”

“You remember that time I got arrested back in high school? Well she was the one who got me involved, and she got off scot free.”

“I never heard the whole story on that one, but I didn’t think you were the type to hold a grudge.”

“Well she drives me to it.”

“It can't be as bad as you make her out to be.”

“She ruined my reputation Nick. It took me years to get my name back and it was why I couldn't get into a good college.”

Nick stood and pondered for a moment. “That does sound pretty bad. Are you sure she’s the one to blame?”

“Urgh, are you taking her side now?!”

“Not at all. I just want to be extra sure before I offer you the chance to get even.”

“Get even? You’ll really do that?”

“Anything for you darling, but I want you to promise me first. When I do this for you, its over. You make up with her. I don’t like seeing you acting bitter like this.”

“Hmf” The anger on her face seemed to die down a little.

“It’s just that one incident that made you hate her right? She hasn’t done anything else to make you this way?”

“Fine, I can forgive her if this makes up for it. So, tell me your idea!”

“Well since she ruined your reputation, I suggest we tarnish hers.”

“I guess that would make up for it. Go on!”

“Well you know that guy she came in with. That’s her brother, right?”

“Right. So?”

“Well remember that one bit of entertainment we got planned for this evening?”

“We got a lot planned Nick. Stop toying with me and spill it!”

“C’mon babe. You know what I'm talking about.”

“Wait, you don’t mean…”

“That’s right babe. We get her to suck her brother’s dick right in front of everyone.”

“Wow, that’s cruel Nick. But… I don’t see how that would ruin her reputation. She wouldn’t know she’s doing it and nobody knows they’re siblings.”

“That’s true, but its only the first part.”

“There’s more?”

“We'll record her doing the deed, and then with a little of my video-editing magic I can make it seem genuine. Then we upload the video to a bunch of **** porn sites and drop a hint among a few of her acquaintances.”

“Christ, Nick. That's horrible. I don’t think I-”

“I know babe. That’s why we’re doing it. I don’t want to do it either, but I think it something you need to do. I don't want to see this vengeful side of you ever again.”

“You're right. This isn't like me. We don't really have to upload the video.”

“Yeah, and I hope I’ve guilted out that vengeful streak before we get to that point, but if we don't do this you're just going to bottle up those harmful feelings.”

“Alright. I'm sorry I'm making you do this."

"It's fine darling. I'd do anything to help you be the best possible you. I love you."

"Love you too. So is there anything you need me to do?.”

“Actually, there is one more thing I need. The edited video will look way more convincing if I have some other material to work with. Namely, I need some footage of the two of them engaging in head with other people.”

“How are we going to find someone willing to let us record them sucking the guy’s dick?”

“Well I was thinking you could do it.”

“Me? I don’t want to be unfaithful to you. ”

“I know babe. The guiltier you feel, the better. Besides, if you're going to string the boy into this, this is the least you can do to make it up to him.”

“I guess if that’s what you want, I can’t really argue.”

“Make sure to tell him your name is Claire and we can get some nice audio out of it.”

“Alright, but what about Claire? I don’t want her blowing you!”

“Heh, that’s some double standards.”

“I don’t care. I’m doing it because you asked me to. Now I’m asking you not to do it”

“I know I know. I wouldn't do that to you. I have something else in mind. So how are you feeling about this?”

“I’m not sure. I really want to get my **** but I feel like I’ll hate myself afterwards.”

“That’s the point. We’re going to drown your vengeful side in guilt so we never have to go through with this again.”

“I guess you’re right. What about you? I thought you liked Claire. Why would you offer this up so willingly?”

“Nothing comes before my love for you Rebecca. Besides, it’s a bit of harmless fun.”

“I wouldn’t call this harmless by any means.”

“I guess it all comes down to if you're spiteful enough to release that video. My money's on that you won't. Now c’mon, let’s go. I have to get back before some guests slip in ungreeted.”
