“She is the best out there. I’m usually a third-floor girl myself, but when she’s doing a show we always come down to watch. Gets us set up for a great night. Isn’t that right babe?”
“Absolutely.”
“It’s my first time here. What’s on the third floor?”
“I’ll show you the different floors up next Will. But the third floor is the swinger’s floor.”
“Like partner swapping?”
I felt so out of the loop with the conversation. It had never occurred to me I’d be chatting with swingers on my first night. They smiled in return, not in the least bit disturbed by my awkward question.
Cheryl smiled at me while answering my query. “Sometimes it’s a straight swap. Sometimes a threesome or foursome or even more depending on where the night takes us. We just go with the flow. But we have couples rules that we follow so everybody is comfortable and nobody gets hurt.”
“That sounds like it could be a fun time. Do you have a date lined up for tonight?”
“No, we’re just relaxing and seeing what happens.”
“Well, we should continue on our tour. It was great to see you guys again.”
“Nice to meet you, Will,” Cheryl responded as we parted ways.
We walked over towards the spa area where the elevators were also located. I couldn’t help but glance back in the direction to get a final view of that ravishing redhead and she caught my glance with a smile. Kathy took my hand as we walked, making it appear as we were an actual couple. I think appearances would be a major part of this experience.
“They seemed really nice. Especially with all my questions.”
“Everybody tries to be extra nice to newbies. That’s how we get new members and maintain this place for everyone.”
“That makes sense. Where are you taking me?”
“The first floor is the hookup suites where people can get a room to be alone with their group. Not much to show you since we’re not getting that cozy tonight.” She gave me the look as she said that, hinting that might be possible eventually.
“The second floor holds the exhibition stages where I usually spend most of my time. You already know how I love being watched. The third floor is swinger central. Anything above that you’re not even remotely close to ready for.”
I took that as a shot and fired back. “Try me.”
“Ok mister progressive. The fourth floor is orgy central, with rules and restrictions of course. The fifth and sixth floors are the BDSM dungeons and kink lounges for very special play scenarios. You know, fetishes, water sports, stuff like that.”
My eyes just glazed over with the complete overload. Some words I understood and couldn’t believe I was hearing and others I was blissfully unaware were even existent. The look on my face must have told the story very well as she burst out laughing.
“Well, you asked.”
“I’ll be sure to take your advice going forward. Have you joined in on those floors?”
“I’ve dabbled here and there but they aren’t my thing. I’m more of an E & V girl myself.”
“E & V?”
“Exhibiitionism & Voyeurism. Watching and being watched.”
“Oh, that makes sense.”
We took the elevator up to the second floor and it opened up into a nondescript hallway with many closed doors. Each door had a set of rules posted on the outside that were very specific to the room in question. We popped in and out of all the rooms for a few minutes so I would get acclimatized to the kinds of things to expect in each room. My head was spinning halfway through and they just kept coming.
We came to the room at the end of the hallway and stopped before entering.
“This is my favorite place. It’s the main stage and it’s a fluid rule set. Whoever is booked for the stage gets to set a group of rules and those who want to join in need to agree beforehand and follow them. Looks like they are doing cosplay tonight.”
“Cosplay?”
“Costumes. Dress up.”
“That could be hot.”
We entered as the show was finishing and the performers were ready to leave the stage. I could see the remnants of their cheerleader gear and football uniforms as they cleaned up. Seems we just missed it. There was a rack of unused costumes off in the one corner of the room as well. The viewers were filing out of the room.
“I guess we missed it, Will. That’s enough excitement for one night. You’ll have more chances if you think you can handle it?”
“You can count me in.”
With that, we left and made the drive back home with me confused as ever.

Two weeks passed before I got a message to meet Kathy at the pool after hours again. We’d seen each other here and there at the pool but not outside of that. Claire had come over to me in the pool with a message to meet Kathy later that night after closing. I had no idea what the plan for the night was, so I walked down the hill with trepidation. Once inside the doors, I saw her behind the counter alone.
“Hey Kathy, you wanted to see me?”
“Hi Will, let’s go talk in the office.” She led me into the room for the first time where we’d watched a couple having sex what felt like so long ago and closed the door behind us. “We haven’t had a chance to catch up since our trip to Temptations. Are you still on board with it?”
“Yeah, I thought we had fun together.” I looked at her and hoped that she would feel the same way.
“There’s just one little problem Will. Summer is coming to a close and I’ll be back to school before you know it. So as much as I’d enjoy training you, I won’t be able to.”
My heart dropped through the floor at the news. I tried to keep the disappointment from my voice but she could see right through my false confidence. “Oh okay.”
“But I did have another idea that would work until I’m back home next summer. If you’re up for it.”
“What did you have in mind?”
“I had someone else in mind, a volunteer,” she replied with a wave of her hand in the direction of the window.
Just moments before the door opened, the lightbulb went off in my head. She didn’t mean…
“Hey stud, you miss me!”
Paula was looking her very best wearing the very same cheerleader outfit we’d seen at Temptations on our visit, with poms poms and her hair in pigtails. All the blood rushed from my brain to somewhere decidedly lower. She was quite the sight to see and as much as I tried to not think about it, I’d never been able to scrub that image from my mind again.
“Oh no, not her.”
“What’s the deal with you two? There’s no way you don’t find her attractive, I can see it from the look on your face.”
“She’s a bit too eager for this assignment.”
Paula sauntered over, coming right up next to me with the perfect vision of beauty and a machiavellian grin all over her face. I could smell her intoxicating scent and those gorgeous deep blue eyes weren’t helping matters either. Perhaps I’d overlooked her in my pursuit of Kathy.
“Oh, I’m eager all right. Camille told me all about how you know your way around a girl’s body and I want to take you for a test drive myself. We can start right now if you like. Kathy won’t mind. She likes to watch as much as she likes to perform.” She looked over at her fellow lifeguard who smiled back at her. “Maybe I’d even let her join in once I have you all warmed up.”
