SSMM Ch25

“Less than ten. These puppies are good for two things: back pain and unwanted attention,” Ava says, pointing both thumbs at her chest.

“Felt,” Jane replies.

Viv has a little swimming pool that can make a current to let someone swim endlessly for exercise. It’s pretty cool, and Ava can’t keep the envy off her face as they pad across lovely mosaics to reach the majestic hot tub. Floor-to-ceiling windows are everywhere, so there is zero privacy. Ava can’t help but think that Viv is living the dream here. Of course, if Viv actually had everything she wanted, why’s she still spending so much energy on chasing?

The tub is ready to go; maybe it’s always kept full.

“Are you the one who…”

“Does all the chemicals and cleans it and stuff? Yes. Nobody uses it, though. The tub in their room is like just as good,” Jane says, nodding to the east.

Ava peers through the storm; she can see the lit windows of Viv’s suite on the second floor. As she looks, someone moves past one of them. Jane has thought this through. With the lights on, the two of them will be easy to see.

Jane’s already climbing into the water. Ava joins her, and Jane cozies up beside her so that there’s plenty of skin on skin. Together, they’re looking straight at Viv’s suite.

“Nice,” Ava says with a little sigh. “This actually feels really good.”

“Right? I should use it more.”

“So, we just make out until she gets here?”

Jane laughs. “You’re such a cocktease talking about CCL. Tell me smutty CCL stuff. I can’t picture that Swedish chick there. She seems so wholesome.”

“Bro,” Ava says, giving her a look. “CCL isn’t unwholesome. I mean, when there’s no murders anyway.”

“Isn’t there a sex dungeon?”

“For consenting adults,” Ava replies. “Kind of like this place, actually. It’s a cool thing that doesn’t get used as much as you’d think. I mean, people have to study… it’s not very private, there’s lots of cleanup. But I’m not bitter.”

“You didn’t use it, and you wish you had?”

“I wasn’t down there much. I honestly don’t regret not using it in a logical way, but it bugs me anyway. Like as a bucket list thing.”

“So, you’re a little vanilla basic bitch,” Jane says.

“Sweetie, I came here in a slutty Halloween costume, I played maid, I wrestled a psycho Japanese chick, I had a three-way with hot tennis players and I came this close,” Ava holds two fingers close together. “To sleeping with a motherfucking movie star. I am not basic.”

“God. You’re so fucking cool. Sign my tits.”

“I’ll do it.” Ava reaches over and plucks at the front of Jane’s bikini, jiggling them. “I’m good for it.”

“Tell me CCL shit.”

“Oh my god.”

“Tell me and I’ll let you touch my booby.”

“OK. Dude.” Ava leans her head back and looks over. “I mean, what do you want? I didn’t have a cool, sexy CCL life. I was pretty much doing school.”

“Do better!”

“I saw a few things. I heard a lot of things. Like, that’s true,” Ava says thoughtfully. “I think the spiciest thing I did there was my initiation.”

“What was that like? Did you have to go down on all the sisters or something?”

“No! No, you have to…” Ava trails off. “It sounds stupid when you say it out loud. OK, we have this Sybian.”

“I’m sorry?”

“It’s a big machine that looks like a riding saddle. It’s just a fancy vibrator. You sit on it. It’s…” Ava sighs. “It is actually life-changing. Anyway, we have one. It’s called Diagra.”

“Diagra?”

“Some nerd shit. And when it’s time, the pledges have to sit on it and read from a book that your sponsor picks. And you have to read a certain amount.”

“That doesn’t sound very hard.”

Ava snorts. “Well, it’s hard if you’re cumming your brains out because they don’t turn it off. So if you do multiples you can’t, like deal with it. And if you don’t, then it really fucking hurts. It’s actually crazy. The trick is to be tough and not cum until you’re done.”

“What happened to you?”

“I had to read from Twilight. And I was almost done, but then I, you know, and then I kind of…” Ava lifts a hand out of the water and waves it. “I stumbled through the last of it and fell off.”

“In front of people?”

“Like thirty people.”

“Wow. You really aren’t basic.” Jane sounds impressed.

“Everyone had to do it.”

“I could not get naked in front of all those people,” Jane says, putting her hand on her neck. “Jesus. Just thinking about it gives me anxiety.”

“I wasn’t naked,” Ava replies with a shrug. “You don’t have to be. The hazing isn’t whatever you’ve heard. It used to be insane, but we’re not trying to traumatize anyone. I had shorts on a shirt. They haven’t done anything really bad since like the early two-thousands.”

“Clothes don’t get in the way?”

“Uh uh,” Ava replies, wiggling a little. “It was really good, and I don’t actually want an audience. It was good anyway. That should tell you how crazy Diagra is.”

“Wow. I’m disappointed, though. I was picturing you naked.”

“Thanks, I think.” She doesn’t need to mention that one of her rare CCL hookups was in relation to that initiation. That’s a personal memory. “Your turn.”

“For what?”

“Something spicy. This place is not different from CCL House. I mean, shit. Viv’s hornier than any five of us. Something must’ve happened here.”

“Oh… that’s fucking…” Jane sucks her breath in through her teeth. “That’s embarrassing.”

“And my thing wasn’t?”

Jane just shrugs. It’s cute.

“Just tell me.”

“Can’t I like… do sexual favors instead?”

“You would rather do sexual favors than talk about spicy stuff here?”

Jane is actually blushing for real.

“I’ll take my top off instead. How’s that?”

This girl is actually flustered. Ava can’t believe it.

Make Jane talk?

Or give her a pass?
