More Friends

This is the second installment in my More Friends series. While the story can be read independently, some of it may make more sense if you read the first story in this series,Mistress Natasha. You may also benefit from reading some (or even all) of the stories in the previous seriesThe Friends.

"I'm thinking about a New Year's Eve party," Lisa said.

"Who's getting invited?" Alan asked in response.

"Everyone."

"Like the entire world?"

"All of my world, I guess. All my work crowd. And the Marys. Everyone who has enjoyed the condo of sin with us this year."

Alan laughed. "We'd have to pile people on top of each other to fit them all in here. Of course, with who you're talking about inviting, that may be happening anyway."

Lisa frowned. "Can we really not fit that many here?"

Alan said, "Let's work through who would be invited. Tim and Audrey, obviously. You said the Marys, which I assume also includes Ethan. Michelle and Lizzie. Natalie. Do you want to invite Javi and Maria?"

"Yes, they should come, if nothing else than all the other partners are coming. And they were here for one evening of debauchery."

"How about Marty?"

"Oh god, I don't know. I should ask Audrey what she thinks. He admitted to Natalie that he's got a pretty good idea about what we do here. And he said to us at the dinner with Audrey and Tim that he used to go to swinger parties or something like that. Maybe still does. So it doesn't seem unreasonable. He has said we should treat him as a peer not our boss, but this is a big one."

"So that's twelve plus maybe Marty."

"I think it's only ten. I wrote them all down."

"You don't have us on that list."

"Oh shit. You're right."

"With Marty, it's thirteen, maybe fourteen if he brings someone. He said he was getting serious with someone, didn't he?"

Lisa nodded, a frown back on her face.

"I'm not about to cook for that many anyway," Alan said. "I'd be uncomfortable cooking for eight, let alone almost twice that. Six is pushing the bounds of my skills. It's why I couldn't be a restaurant chef. I like up to four or five. No more."

"So that's a no?"

"It's a no for here. But we could get somewhere else and have it catered. It sounds like a good idea. Beyond Ethan, I think I'll keep Apple people out of this."

Lisa nodded, then said, "I would love to do this at the mansion, but it's nowhere near ready for a party yet. Maybe next year."

"Given our history here, we want places for people to sleep afterwards, too, I'm imagining renting a wing of a hotel with a medium sized event room attached to it. We have the money. That's not really an issue."

Lisa suddenly perked up. "Could we? That would work spectacularly. I'll text Audrey to ask her about it and about Marty. Can you figure out a place and worry about the food? Maybe Ethan can help you find a place, while you figure out the food. I suspect you want to be responsible for that."

"Yeah, I do. Ask Audrey if she's got a strong feeling between sit-down and buffet style. It changes the menu completely. Oh, do we want an open bar or a keg or anything to go with wine?"

"No bartender. I don't want anyone but the fourteen of us in that room once dinner is done. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I don't want any witnesses dampening the fun. Or tattling afterwards."

"Definitely no witnesses. I'll discuss that with the hotel when we arrange the event with them. Maybe they can curtain off the entire hall if we rent the whole area."

+++++

I text AudreyNYE party?

I'm up for it. Alan cooking?

He says no to cooking for that many

How many are you inviting?

Everyone from condo of sin activitiesAt least twelve.

At least?

want your advice. Marty?

🤣

Silence from both of us.

You're serious, aren't you

YeahConsidering it at least

Can you actually even ask him?

NoBut we canThink about it:He knows all about the condo of sin, he told Natalie about usHe admitted at dinner he went to sex parties, maybe still doesHe told us to treat him as a peer, not our boss

OkSee your pointWe can talk to him together on Monday

Thxgoing to be interesting

We can't fit fourteen in the condo

Alan suggested stacking us up, we'll end up that way anyway

🤣

Seriously, renting part of a hotel. Rooms for everyone

Now we're talkingAnd Alan provides food?

No. He's arranging catering

Okay, I'm psyched

Alan had more questions for your advice.Sit down or buffet?

Definitely buffet

Open Bar? Keg?

Bartender sounds like a bad idea

Maybe open bar until dinnerNo witnesses after dinnerMaybe some kind of easy drinks out after that

This is going to be awesome!

"Lizzie? How much do you know about what Natalie does as Mistress Natasha?" Michelle asked. She had just snuggled onto Lizzie's chest after their evening romp.

"Normal dom stuff, I think. I don't know. You do realize this isn't reassuring as a post-coital conversation, don't you? Especially given that Natalie would love to get you into bed?"

"Don't be silly. I love you. I'm not looking for someone else. Besides, I think Lisa's keeping her pretty busy these days. I think they spend the night together almost every night Alan's out in Cupertino."

"God, he has a lot of trust in Lisa. I would be petrified to have you sleep with someone else two thirds of the nights. Especially if that someone was Nat."

"Audrey was hinting to me that Lisa had a Mistress Natasha session with her. I think I might like something like that too."

"You're really working on all my insecurities tonight aren't you? Essentially telling me you're bored with our sex."

"I just want to explore some more sides of my sexuality. I have so little experience. Maybe it's something we can incorporate."

Lizzie is shaking her head. "I'm shocked she did a session with Lisa. Not mixing the two worlds was always a cardinal rule for her."

"If I get a chance, I want to ask Lisa about what happened. I'd like you to be there when I do. Would that be okay with you?"

"Yeah. I'm curious too. And yes, I would love to know what will turn you on even more."

+++++

"Ethan?" Mary asked as they snuggled together about to watch a movie on Netflix.

He looked at her. "I know that voice. I guess I shouldn't hit play yet."

"Do you remember the dinner at Alan and Lisa's condo?"

"Yeah, I don't think either of us will forget that night. I got my job as Alan's assistant out of that dinner. But I bet you're thinking about the ending, where we fucked in front of the other two couples. Lisa talked to you about their party, didn't she?"

"You know about it?"

"Alan asked me to find a hotel. He's pretty serious about privacy for it, so I guess he's expecting more of the same. But with fourteen people, not just the six that night."

"Are you okay with us going?" Mary asked. "I know you get kind of jealous."

"Were you expecting to make the rounds of all the men there or something?"

"I don't know what I want to happen. Are you still okay with me and Lisa?"

He frowned. "Truthfully, not completely. I mean I love when you've let me watch. God, that's hot. But I want to be there with you. You do realize I will totally freak if you ever started modeling for anyone else now, especially for a guy."

"I won't do anything without letting you know first. And giving you veto power. I've been completely faithful since before we went officially exclusive, other than Lisa."

"Well, I've been completely faithful. Period."

"Do you want to cheat on me?"

"No. I want to stay involved with you always. I'm not sure how Alan handles all of Lisa's lovers."

"But they're still deeply in love with each other. I think she sees more of Natalie than she does him now."

"I think that may be bothering him a bit. But he knows having someone keep her company all the time he's in Cupertino is important to her well being."

+++++

Knock, knock. Lisa and Audrey stood in Marty's office doorway as Audrey announced their presence.

"With both of you here, it's got to be something important. What's up?"

"Can I shut the door?" Audrey asked.

He nodded before saying, "Very important."

Audrey closed the door, then the two women looked at each other. Lisa finally spoke, "Would you be interested in coming to a New Year's Eve party Alan and I are organizing?"

Marty looked at the two of us, smiled, and said, "It's one of those parties is it? I was wondering if I was ever going to be included."

"To be fair, We rarely planned on anything happening, it just did," Lisa said.

"And it was just the four of us for most of the summer," Audrey added.

"It's possible that nothing sexual will happen at the party," Lisa offered. Then the two women looked at each other, shook their heads, and laughed.

"So who's coming to this party?" Marty asked.

"I'm inviting all the partners. And my two Marys," Lisa said.

"Merries?"

"My regular models are both named Mary. Well the two of them and Audrey."

"And you maintain a traditional artist-model relationship with all three, I take it."

Lisa shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah," she said sheepishly.

Marty laughed. "With all I gather you've done, I can't believe you're still shy about admitting to it. I think I would love to come, whatever happens or not. But I have two conditions for you. First, all the other partners have to be okay with me coming. I don't want to put a damper on anyone's fun."

"I'm going to invite everyone at our Friday meeting," Lisa said.

"Then make sure they're all fine with me being there, too. Anyone objects, and I'm not there. And don't make them speak up in the meeting. The five of you have real synergy, but there's still peer pressure to get along with everyone else in that room."

Audrey piped up, "I'll tell them to talk to me privately if there is a concern with that."

Marty laughed again. "Thinking about the five of you, I warned Natalie about some of your behaviors, but I hadn't expected her to be so integrated as she seems to be."

"Well, she does live with Alan and me until January, when her new place is ready," Lisa said, "And Alan is in Cupertino two thirds of the week days."

"But Lisa has been kind enough to share, unlike with MaryB," Audrey added, with just a trace of annoyance in her voice. "But what's your second condition?"

"I'm bringing someone." He looked at Audrey. "Someone you probably remember very well."

Audrey looked at him then slowly shook her head. "You're not."

"Rebecca and I have become quite a bit closer over the last several months. She's going to come stay with me for a few weeks over her break, including New Year's Eve."

"Rebecca?" Lisa asked.

"Rebecca Strohm. Audrey's old Dean of Students."

"Oh." Lisa looked at Audrey. She was clearly shaken.

Marty spoke up. "I think it will be good for you to get to know her now. I really do think you should meet her while she's here, even if it's not at the party."

Audrey sighed. "You've always been right before, but this'll be odd. I want you there enough to put up with this."

+++++

"Before we break up today, Lisa has one more announcement," Audrey said, as she finished the last announced agenda item for the weekly partners' meeting.

Lisa said, "Alan and I are going to host a New Year's Eve party. We would like to have all of you come. It's just us, our partners and my two regular models, MaryA and MaryB."

"Is Alan cooking for all of us?" Natalie asked.

"No, he says he doesn't like cooking for this many. It's also big enough of a group that It won't fit in our condo, so Alan and I are renting a wing of the Marriott, including an overnight stay and breakfast in the morning. Assuming you're up to it." Lisa looked pointedly at Michelle; her troubles after over indulging in wine at an Alan dinner was known by everyone in the room.

"Hey, I'll be good this time!"

Everyone laughed.

"Let me know if you or your partner can't make it, so Alan can adjust the food. He's arranging his own menu to be catered. I don't know what it is yet."

Everyone nodded towards Lisa.

Natalie asked, "If this is a catered dinner, does that mean we need to behave?"

Everyone laughed again.

"Alan is arranging the evening so we will have complete privacy after dinner is over, should anyone chooses to take advantage of that time. No one is expected to do anything, but, similar to our condo, things may develop."

"So you're telling us this is going to be an orgy," Michelle says.

More laughter.

Audrey said, "There's one more question we need you all to answer. Lisa and I invited Marty to the party as well."

The room went suddenly very quiet.

"I think every one of us got the talk from him to treat him as a peer, not our boss, although all of us have struggled to live up to that," Audrey said. "He also told Lisa and me at one point that he has a long history of some sort of sex parties. Before you ask, we didn't ask him any details so I don't know any more than that."

Lisa picked up the discussion,"I don't want anyone to feel awkward with him being there and neither does he. If anyone would rather he not come, please let Audrey know privately and he won't attend. She promises that no one will know who objected. You should all know that he's bringing someone with him. It seems like he's leaning towards settling down with her in his older years, although I'll note he said that he doesn't expect either of them to be monogamous."

The room has a bit more murmur again.

"I'll add that I'm the only one who's previously met his significant other," Audrey said, "And this will be awkward for me, but Marty insists that seeing her on these terms will be good for me."

"Who is it?" Javi asked.

"My old Dean of Students. I haven't seen her since graduation. I was convinced she hated me, I thought because she was an old prude and resented my wildness. I was apparently wrong in that read, because I believe Marty said he knew her from his parties."

Natalie laughed.

+++++

"Do you want to go to a New Year's Eve dinner party that Alan and Lisa are hosting? I think all the others are going," Javi asked his wife as soon as got home.

"Just dinner?"

"Well, they did rent a room for the party and apparently are making efforts to ensure privacy post dinner, but I thought we'd probably only stay for dinner," he said, looking at her bulging belly.

"I'm sorry I've spoiled our fun," she said.

He gave his pregnant wife a hug and a kiss. "I think WE did this. And you know I'm looking forward to being a proud papi."

Maria looked at him and smiled. "Is Alan cooking for everyone? I'd love to eat more of his cooking, especially eating for two these days."

"He's having it catered, but apparently he's working closely with the chef, so I'm sure it will be good."

"Delicioso!"

+++++

"Tim?" Audrey asked over dinner.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Do you remember me talking about my old Dean of Students?"

He laughed, "Of course I do. You were certain she hated you. Marty told us at dinner that she didn't, she was just trying to get you to calm down, get control of yourself."

Audrey frowned. "Well, we asked Marty to come to the New Year's Eve party."

"You told me that already, and he was only going to come if all the partners said they were okay with it. I admit, that's going to be weird. But he told us he likes sex parties. And as you reassured me a million times before that dinner, it's hard to imagine him ever making someone uncomfortable. So I think it will work."

"He's not the one I worry about making someone uncomfortable. Michelle's really the only one I could vaguely imagine saying no to him coming, so I don't think that's a problem."

"Okay, what aren't you telling me. You don't usually beat around the bush like this."

"His other condition for coming is bringing my old dean as his date. I'm trying to decide if I need to be the one to veto him coming."

Tim laughed loudly.

"This isn't funny! I'm petrified of seeing her again."

"You're petrified? You just won the pool championship that petrified you. You're about to be made president of a leading national consulting company at 28. And you're afraid of seeing your old Dean? It'll probably do you good. Seeing how much she's not the intimidating grownup you remember."

"Marty thought it would be good for me too."

"And he's never wrong about these things. Another thing about him that you've told me a million times."

"But what if she really did hate me, but just told Marty that to not alienate him, since he was recruiting me. And it's her job to help students get good jobs."

"Do you really think she could fool Marty?"

"No. But we've never seen him with a lover. Maybe he doesn't see them as clearly."

"Do you really believe that."

"No. But she still scares the hell out of me."

"Do you remember the next gen episode I made you watch, when Riker sees his dad again after years apart? If your worst fears are real, I think that's a good model here. Go ahead and meet her. It will be good for you. And you would disappoint Marty if you don't meet her."

She frowned.

+++++

Audrey's phone buzzed. It was from Mary Smith or MaryA as Audrey now thought of her as. Mary Blass had differentiated them as MaryA (for Australian) and MaryB (for Blass). Lisa's two regular models. Other than herself, but Audrey hadn't modeled for Lisa in a couple of months. Not enough time.

Assume you're going to Alan and Lisa's party?

Of courseNeed a ride?

Would love oneAlso just checking you were goingWon't know many of the people

Are you okay?

YeahIt's just that everybody at work here seems pretty staidI need to find some more adventurous people to spend time with

Definitely comeYou'll have funMaryB will be there

Ooh. I do want to meet my counterpart

+++++

When Michelle and Lizzie arrived, Alan was talking with the caterers and Lisa was futzing with the decorations. The room itself was moderate sized, not a full ballroom, but not a small meeting room either. One end had a makeshift kitchen in it, with six tables set up in a U-shape between the kitchen and the rest of the room. One table had food laid out on it, the others were still being set up. Alan was back in the kitchen part.

Beyond the food area was a bar, with a bar tender setting up his wares and two round tables, each set for seven. There were some extra chairs along the side opposite the bar. The other half of the room had nine couches arranged in three pods.

Michelle scanned the room and said, "Wow! This is quite some setup. As you can tell, Lizzie and I couldn't agree on the expected dress code."

Michelle was wearing a knee length lime green gown, with her hair pulled up in a fancy do. Lizzie wore tight jeans and a sequined halter top, showing most of her tats. There wasn't much fancy that could be done with her crew cut, even if she wanted to,
