Chapter The Devil With A Deal:>>Ep31
The rest of the hot tub all separated like the water had gone cold. Tara wasn't jerking off the boys anymore. In fact, there seemed to be a foot of space between everyone. Even Kate and I were giving each other distance. The world went silent again. Only now it felt oppressive rather than freeing -- odd since all the sounds were the same.
"What'd you all get up to?" Jesse asked. Again, he was talking to me. Again, I have no idea why he decided that I was the friendly face.
"You know, the usual," I said. Kate gave me a look, her cheeks turning pink. "We've been sleeping, mostly."
Jesse gave me a judging stare and I was glad for it. I'd sooner tell my wife's 103-year-old grandma about my night of debauchery than Jesse. No matter what I said, he wasn't going to be impressed. And even if he was, I wouldn't want him to be.
"Tar'?" Jesse asked, "I hope you at least had some fun." Here, he looked directly at Mason and Carlos.
Tara let out a long dramatic sigh. "Just tell us, Jesse. I know you want to."
Her husband broke into a wide grin, not at all sheepish and far too proud. "I did some stuff," Jesse said, "This party was awesome. So many hot chicks." He gave Lil a lascivious wink.
"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," Tara said, clearly not at all glad.
"Don't act like you didn't," Jesse said, and my heart skipped a beat. Something about the way he said it made me wonder if he knew way more than he was letting on. If Jesse was aware of what Tara and I had done together, I was doomed. The consequences of all my choices were barreling down on me, and there was no way for me to jump out of the way.
"You're right," Tara said, conceding, "I did have fun." She gave Mason an affectionate tap on his shoulder. But she didn't say anything more.
And then, just as it seemed I couldn't be buried any deeper, I head the glass doors slide open one last time and Vanessa and Brian stepped out onto the deck. They looked down at the tub, at me and Kate, and smiled broadly. "Hey guys!" Vanessa said.
"I see you found the jacuzzi." Brian said, with an air of playful resignation. He was carrying a couple of good-sized bottles of amber liquid in each hand, and he passed them down to Mason.
"We figured we'd watch the sunrise," Mason said, smiling up at Brian. Immediately, I could tell that the two men were longtime friends.
"I wish you'd woken us," Vanessa said. Both she and her husband were wearing a matching, baby blue, silky pajama set. Shorts with a collared top. I was able to get a good look at the outfits right before they came off again.
Brian and Vanessa both disrobed, casual as anything. I'd seen their naked bodies so often by now, they were embarrassingly familiar. Brian, almost cartoonishly muscular with dark chest hair. Vanessa, fantastically figured with her full breasts and round bottom. It appeared that she'd taken off that strange, smoky quartz necklace and it oddly made her seem even more naked than usual.
The lascivious couple climbed into the hot tub and found a space to my right. All of us were now paired by relationship, more or less -- Tara was next to Mason, then Vanessa and Brian, Kate and me, Jesse, and Lil, with Carlos closing out the circle. I remembered thinking we could fit four more into that hot tub and now here we were. Nine people packing into that little blue circle -- I didn't dare think about the fact that it seemed like we could easily fit a tenth. Mason opened one of the jugs that Brian had brought and took a deep swig.
"Whoa, you brought out the good stuff," Mason said.
"Only the best for our honored guests," Brian said.
They passed the bottle around the hot tub. I noticed Kate took a healthy gulp, so I did as well. I knew I was supposed to be impressed, but it burned down my throat the same as any hard liquor I'd ever had.
When we finished the first jug, Mason opened the second one. It followed its predecessor around the tub. After three or four gulps, combined with the boiling water, I was feeling pretty comfortable. Not drunk, I didn't think, just floating along. Kate leaned her head on my shoulder. I figured she was about as far along as me. For a moment, I wondered if the coke she'd done earlier had finally left her system. She didn't seem to be crashing, but she wasn't acting high anymore either. I gave Kate a light kiss on her scalp.

This wasn't so bad, I told myself. Kind of nice. A little fun. Nothing too untoward.
With the second bottle gone, the whole tub seemed to settle back.
"This is lovely," Vanessa said.
"I wish I'd brought out another," Brian said.
"Brother, I got something way better," Mason said. He reached behind him to where he'd discarded his shorts. Then he pulled out a small plastic Ziploc filled with about five thin joints and a lighter. He held the baggie up, eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Now we're talking," Jesse said, looking at the pot, hungrily. Tara raised her eyes to the heavens and sighed, dramatically.
"My man!" Brian said.
"Always come prepared," Mason said.
"Boy scout?" Vanessa asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Not exactly," Mason said. He quickly lit a joint and took a puff. He passed it along, following the path of the alcohol.
After Vanessa and Brian both took their turns, it came to Kate. I prepared myself to send it over to Jesse. Even after everything that had happened, there was no way my Kate was indulging in marijuana.

But, to my shock, my innocent wife took the joint out of Brian's hand and gave it a deep pull. Then she coughed, hard. The rest of the tub looked on, patronizingly, as Kate struggled to get her breath back. "First time?" Carlos asked, not unkindly.
"No!" Kate said in a way that clearly meant 'yes.'
Since my wife had a toke, I figured I had to, as well. The joint was spicy and smooth. Heady and powerful. I hadn't smoked since college and this stuff was at a level I wasn't used to. It smacked me upside the head before it even had the chance to get down to my lungs.
One smoke followed another. By the third puff, even Kate wasn't coughing any more. If I was floating before I was near flying now. I got the feeling the rest of the group was right there with me.
I guess we were all inspired because the inevitable began to happen. Brian and Vanessa started kissing. Jesse and Lil joined them, so Tara and Carlos did the same. I heard a couple of low moans. Hands disappeared beneath the water. Again, I reached down for my wife's crotch. Again, she was soaking wet, even with the water. But there was a new development: her panties had gone missing.
"What's the point in wearing them at this point?" Kate whispered in my ear. Her warm breath tickled my skin, as if I wasn't already too erect.
I slipped off my soaked boxers and tossed them behind me. They hit the deck with a wet splat.
"There you go, Andy," Vanessa said, smiling.
She went back to kissing Brian. Tara had switched over to making out with Mason, but her one hand looked to be between Carlos' legs. Jesse and Lil stayed engaged with each other as we all split off.
