"Sex rule?" said Amy.
"Yes. No-one's allowed to have sex, well let me clarify that a bit, gang members aren't allowed to have sex with each other, except here. We got careless before and caught, it could have been a disaster. So from then on we never did anything like that except when we were here. Trouble is, you might think it's safe, you might think no-one's in the house and you've got loads of time, but things happen, and you can get taken by surprise" said Paul.
"What about with other people?" asked Ben.
"There's no rule about that, obviously you can't bring other people here. But with the gang, it's only allowed here" said Paul.
"Do people go with other people?" asked Ben.
"I don't think so. Thinking about it I'm not sure Victoria would like that very much, we're supposed to a family really, and keep that sort of thing to ourselves. It's a lot safer that way, and avoids people getting jealous and stuff" he said.
There was bang as the front door slammed, and Emily and Alison walked in. Alison grinned broadly when she saw Ben, and as excited as Ben was to see her, he was also, suddenly, terrified.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
"Where's Victoria?" asked Emily.
"Up a tree I think" said Paul.
"I need to talk to her" said Emily.
"Unless she's got stuck or fallen out" said Paul "I'd better go and check on her, make sure she's alright."
Alison went over to Ben and tried to squeeze in beside him in his chair. Ben was too distracted by his apprehension to give way. "Budge up!" said Alison, which brought Ben to his senses, and he moved over. She climbed up beside him, put an arm round him and gave his a kiss.
"I can't wait" she said "Can you?"
"Urm, no..." he said, tactfully. Alison gave him another kiss and tickled his tummy lightly.
"I hope you're all excited and ready" she said lowering her hand to the front of his trousers and patting him suggestively. Ben grinned sheepishly, not wanting to let Alison know quite how scared he was.
Emily threw herself heavily into a chair "I want to kill that bastard!" she said. Amy looked up at her then over at Ben, who visibly stiffened at Emily's comment.
"Not you, silly" said Alison.
"Who's she talking about then?" asked Amy.
"Giles St.John-Moncrieff" spat Emily.
"Do you want to get undressed now?" asked Alison, her hand now playing with the button at the top of Ben's trousers.
"No, let's wait a bit" said Ben, beginning to shake.
"Spoilsport!" said Alison, tickling his tummy again. She kissed him, hoping to keep him in the mood.
Victoria walked in. Paul followed carrying her laptop bag.
"Victoria I need to talk to you about something" said Emily urgently.
"Give me a sec. I need to check something" said Victoria, settling into a chair and taking her laptop bag from Paul. He sat on the arm of Victoria's chair while she set her laptop up. Everyone else just sat in silence, waiting.
After a few minutes, Victoria beamed "There it is!" she exclaimed "Wow! That's brilliant. I can't believe how clear the picture is" she added.
"What is it?" asked Emily.
"New camera" answered Victoria tapping away at her keyboard "Oh I can't wait 'til it gets dark, see what it's like then" she said excitedly. She set her laptop down, looked round the room smiling at everyone, and then turned to Emily. "Sorry, Em, what was it?"
"Giles St.John-Moncrieff" she said.
Victoria shivered "Oh, that slime-ball, what's he been up to?"
"He caught us on the way home, heard Alison..." she turned to glare at Alison briefly before returning her gaze to Victoria "... swearing, and threatened to tell on us."
"Bastard!" said Paul.
"And?" asked Victoria.
Emily blushed at the memory "He made us show him our knickers" she said.
Victoria creased her brow, frowning slightly, "He's a nasty piece of work" she said.
"And..." began Emily slowly.
"There's more?" asked Victoria coldly.
"He made us pull them down" she said, not looking Victoria in the eye.
Alison was squirming slightly, not so much in embarrassment, although she was embarrassed, but in fear that Emily might tell Victoria about her mention of the gang. She hugged Ben in self defence.
Victoria didn't say anything, neither did Paul - he sat waiting for a response from Victoria.
"Can't we do something?" asked Emily.
"Can't we bring him here?" suggested Alison "I bet I could re-educate him."
"No! We can't" said Victoria.
"If we were careful..." began Emily.
"No, Em, I'm sorry" said Victoria "I'd like to, don't get me wrong, he's probably more deserving that anyone we've ever caught, and that includes Alan. But, security is our number one priority, and we can't pick on anyone local, we know that, it's just too big a risk."
"But if we were careful, I mean really careful" pleaded Emily.
"I'm sorry Emily, I really am. I wish we could, but the answer's no" said Victoria.
"He's such a mummy's boy I bet he'd never tell" said Alison.
"The subject is closed" said Victoria firmly, and after a pregnant pause "Anyway, speaking of Alan, did you see Wendy again Paul?"
"Yep" he said with a grin.
"And?" asked Victoria.
"Well.... Apparently Alan was a very good boy. She marched him all the way back to the edge of the forest naked, I think she was pretending she was going to take him all the way home like that, but as they got nearer the edge he started slowing down and pleading with her" said Paul.
"But he didn't get difficult did he?" asked Victoria, glad for the change of subject.
"No I don't think so, but Wendy did use it as an excuse to find a stick and drive him along with it" he said.
"Ow, I bet that hurt" said Alison.
"I bet it did" said Paul "Anyway she let him get dressed before they left the forest, and he had to put on his cold wet pee soaked pants. Which can't have been fun, and because his clothes had all been bundled up together the rest of his stuff was pretty wet and smelly too."
"Did the parents suspect anything?" asked Victoria wondering if they might have gone a bit too far with Alan.
"They weren't back when they returned so Alan jumped in the shower, but Wendy insisted on watching him and making sure he did a thorough job of it" said Paul.
"Didn't he object?" asked Victoria.
"He did" said Paul "But she just threatened to provide us with a bad report and he was putty in her hands. Anyway, he got changed, and when the parents came back and they had dinner they were far too busy comparing photos they didn't notice a thing."
"Good" said Victoria.
"Sounds like while they're still here Wendy's going to have a lot of fun with him" said Alison.
"I hope she doesn't go too far. If they get caught..." said Victoria.
"No, I told her to take it easy. She knows we'd be pissed off if her parents found out, and she knows the consequences of that well enough" said Paul.
"So, did you two get all smoochy again?" asked Victoria raising an eyebrow.
"Why? Jealous?" asked Paul with a wicked grin.
"In your dreams" said Victoria.
"Might have had a quick peck" he said.
"Quick peck, that girl's fallen head over heels in love with you" said Victoria scornfully.
"Well... what can I say?" said Paul shrugging.
"Romeo, oh Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?" said Emily mockingly.
"I don't recall Romeo spending his time with his dick up Juliet's cousin's arse" said Victoria.
"No, but if Mercutio hadn't been killed there was definitely something in the offing there" said Emily.
"Never understood why Mercutio got killed off, he was the best character" said Paul.
"I think that's the point" said Victoria "He stole the limelight. Whenever he was around everyone else paled into insignificance, and Romeo's supposed to be the hero after all."
"'Tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door; but 'tis enough" hammed Emily, adding "To squeeze my dick in and pump your Veronese arse full."
Victoria, Paul, and Emily all laughed, but the others just stared blankly.
"Shakespeare" said Paul "You'll get on to him at school later, he's good."
"Does he make films?" asked Amy.
Everyone laughed again, including Alison and Ben this time, and Amy just sat there feeling embarrassed. She diverted attention with "Did Alan get a stiffy again?"
"Not on the way home. I think he was just too scared, but he did later in the shower" said Paul.
"Did Wendy make him squirt his stuff again?" asked Amy, still a little red.
"She did. Actually she did it herself, but she did use some soap to spare him too much discomfort" said Paul.
"Is she going soft?" asked Victoria.
"No..." mused Paul "I don't think so, I think she's probably just saving him for later."
"She's not going to be able to keep a hold on him forever" said Emily "When they go back to Croydon she's not going to be able to use us to threaten him with."
"True, but she does have a digital camera" said Paul.
"She didn't?" said Victoria.
"Oh she did" said Paul "Naked in the bedroom, sore dick, sore arse, in the shower, in the shower with a hard-on, in the shower wanking, on his knees wet, sobbing and begging" he said "A pretty complete set."
"That girl's bad" said Victoria "Pity, she might have fitted in quite well here."
"Trouble is" said Paul "She's going to be his worst nightmare for some time to come yet, and if she gets carried away the whole story might come out."
"We'll have to give her a talking to" said Victoria "But... we do actually have an extra measure of security on this one."
"We do?" asked Paul.
"Yes. Alan's attempt to molest her, no let's say... rape her. If the parents ever do find out that might be enough to keep them quiet, and certainly if they ever approach us we can threaten to go public on that" said Victoria.
"That's a good point" said Paul.
"Couldn't we..." suggested Emily tentatively "Use Wendy and Alan to help us?"
"In what way?" asked Victoria.
"Well... it just occurred to me" Emily continued carefully "That if we got them to give Giles a lesson, they wouldn't be obviously connected to us, and he wouldn't know we'd been responsible."
Victoria gave Emily a disapproving stare "I thought that subject was closed" she said.
"I know, it's just, that... well it just occurred to me that's all" said Emily, deflated.
"You're not thinking straight" said Victoria more gently "If he doesn't know we're involved how will it stop him bullying us? And besides, don't you want to see his red face when we pull his little pants down. Don't you want to hear him bawling for his mummy? More importantly, don't you want him to see your face when he's humiliated like that?"
Emily nodded, but there was something in the way Victoria was saying this that gave her just the faintest glimmer of hope.
"Do you mean..." Emily began cautiously.
"Look, I'll think about it" said Victoria "But I'm not promising anything." Victoria paused briefly in thought and then said "Em, I think it's still going to be no, but let me think about it for a while. Don't get your hopes up, darling."
Emily nodded gratefully. At least Victoria was prepared to consider the idea in principle. And she had every faith in Victoria's very capable intelligence. If there was a way they could arrange this safely, Victoria would figure it out. Emily knew that she just had to resist the temptation to nag Victoria about it, or she'd get annoyed and just abandon the idea. Her best bet was to leave it to Victoria and not mention it again. She decided she'd have to have a word with Alison, to make sure she laid off too.
"So what are we doing then?" asked Victoria suddenly.
"Sex" shouted Alison.
"Okay" laughed Victoria "That sounds like a good idea."
Victoria stood up "Right then. Amy!" she said looking across at Amy, who sat thrilled at the prospect "You've got a lot to learn. I know you think you know all about boys and stuff, but I suspect that you don't know as much as you think."
Amy nodded acceptingly "I don't mind" she said.
"But, before you can learn about boys properly you have to understand yourself. You have to understand your own body, and how it responds, what you like and don't like, all that kind of thing. Only when you're familiar with yourself can you start to learn about other people" said Victoria.
Amy nodded again.
"So, I think, if you don't mind, Emily?" she looked at Emily questioningly, who nodded at her "Emily will take you for a lesson."
"So long as you don't wear Paul out in the interim" said Emily "I'd like a piece of the action too."
"I'll try not to wear him out. If I do, we can always..." suggested Victoria.
"Okay, cool" said Emily grinning.
"Whoa! If you two are going to go at it'll, I'll definitely be ready for more action" said Paul.
"That's what I thought" said Victoria.
"Boys!" said Emily "What is it with them and the idea of two girls together?"
"Maybe if we tease him long enough he'll tell us" said Victoria, giving Paul a wicked grin.
Paul blushed briefly, frowned, and then smiled "Maybe it would a good idea if Emily and Amy went next door. Since it's Amy's first proper lesson..."
"You mean apart from your blow-job" said Victoria.
"Well, that wasn't a proper lesson. I just thought it would make it easier for them both" he said.
Victoria looked at Paul for a short while, then saw him glance briefly at Ben. She followed his gaze, and saw how terrified Ben looked. "Okay, good idea. You take Amy next door then" she said to Emily.
Emily got up, but Victoria took her in a hug before she could move away. As she hugged her she whispered "I'm sorry Em, I really am." Emily hugged her back.
Taking Amy's hand, and trying to block all thoughts of Giles from her mind, Emily led Amy from the room.
"Okay, next up" said Victoria "Ben and Alison, in your own time darlings. No rush" and then she looked at Paul and smiled sweetly "Which just leaves you and me."
Paul smiled back, already growing hard. He climbed to his feet and wrapped Victoria in his arms, kissing her passionately. His hands stroked at her back and bottom, and her hands did the same on his body.
Alison kissed Ben again, and she returned to trying to undo his trousers, but as excited as Ben was, he was also scared. He gently pushed her hand away.
"Don't you want to?" exclaimed Alison loudly.
"No I do, it's just that... I don't know" he said, sounding and feeling quite pathetic. He did want to; he really did, but right at this moment, in the safety of his clothes, his mind whirling with uncertainties, anxieties, and apprehensions, he just couldn't bring himself to.
Paul and Victoria heard the both of them, and with the greatest of reluctance, Victoria pulled away from the highly aroused Paul, and suppressing her own desires for the moment, she smiled at him apologetically and shook her head in Ben and Alison's' direction briefly. Paul sighed, closed and opened his eyes, and nodded full of regret and understanding.
"I told him we'd help out if he needed it" he whispered to her "I think he's just nervous."
Victoria nodded "It's a big thing. I remember when we... well, when I watched you and Emily. You were a bag of nerves."
"You're not kidding" he said "I was terrified actually. I just didn't want to make a complete fool of myself. I thought... well let's just say I thought it might put you off and we'd never be able to do it again."
"All changed now though, eh? Lover boy" she said giving him a quick kiss before turning away towards Ben and Alison. Seeing Alison growing frustrated, battling to get access to Ben's nether regions, and Ben pale and petrified, she turned back to Paul again "Slow and gentle? Or quick and brutal?" she asked in a whisper.
Paul looked over at Alison and Ben and pondered briefly "Slow and gentle" he replied "I think it'll be easier on them."
