In Search of the Final Freedom - 26
An Erotic Socio-Political Novel
By Pat Thomason (pat_tomason@hotmail.com)

Misty has her first love, with the joys and pains that 
accompany that event. (mf-teens, youths, 1st, rom)

Chapter TWENTY-SIX

The trip to Minnesota was an instant success, by the 
time Bonnie returned to the office on Tuesday, the 
foundation had received over 70 email responses from 
conference attendees. The majority were positive 
affirmations and requests more literature; however 23 
emails enquired about speaking engagements at 15 
different colleges or University's, four libertarian 
political groups, three civil rights groups and one 
from another regional branch of he Free Thinkers 
Society. 

"It looks like we gave you that new title not a little 
too soon," Amy quipped after looking over the emails."

Bonnie made a non-descript acknowledgement before Amy 
continued "It looks like we will have to start booking 
you during the week as well, can you do that?

"I can do one overnight trip a week, I can't be away 
from the family more that that."

"I understand. But we may have to hire you an 
assistant, especially if money follows the booking 
requests."

Bonnie nodded.

And over the next few weeks between that day and 
Christmas the office received 300 memberships and 
$21,000 in donations, nearly all from one large donor 
who sent $15,000. Additionally Gayle sent a very nice 
email and expressed interest acting as a volunteer Mid-
west liaison for the FFF.

On the 19th Rebecca caught Misty after school let out 
and asked about Samuel's "birthday present" from her 
mom.

"Sorry, I'm afraid he's out of luck, Mom is out of town 
until tomorrow night, I think she's has two places 
she's speaking in the St. Louis area tonight and 
tomorrow morning. You'll have to take care of him 
yourself."

Rebecca, "I'd do that anyway, but he'll be 
disappointed, I think he has a little crush on your 
mom, and I gotta say I'm looking forward to it too."

"I'm sure she will be all to glad to do what she said, 
but we'll have to make it another time." Then Misty 
thought for a moment, "...but you don't turn 18 until 
what? The end of February. She won't let you join 
them."

Rebecca looked like she'd gotten her hand caught in the 
cookie jar.

"Oh," Misty slapped her playfully and began to drag her 
down the hall toward the parking lot "You were trying 
to pull a fast one, so do you still want him to get his 
present?"

"You know I don't mind him doing it without me, but I 
sure wanted to be there."

When Misty asked her mom about the promised Birthday 
present she assured her she hadn't forgotten, but he 
will have to wait as they were going to Tennessee to be 
with Grandpa when school lets out. "Let him know I 
haven't forgotten, but let's plan on like the second 
week in January."

"He'll be disappointed but he'll have to just get over 
it."

***

Christmas break was not as relaxing as Bonnie had 
hoped. When they arrived in Tennessee she couldn't help 
but notice her father had lost weight since she had 
seen him. She gave him a scolding for not telling her 
but he denied anything was wrong with his health.

Fortunately for her peace of mind and unfortunately for 
her father's efforts to pretend everything was fine, 
Stella returned from visiting her kids in Knoxville the 
day after Christmas. Though she officially still lived 
in her home down the street, in practice she had moved 
in with Bonnie's dad. So it was no trouble finding out 
that her father had a bout of pneumonia in November, 
but he was much better now. Bonnie obtained a promise 
from Stella to keep her informed in the future, much to 
her father's chagrin.

Christmas day in the mountains of Tennessee was very 
different than the routine the family had been used to, 
not bad but different. The kids were OK with delaying 
their "real" Christmas until after they got home and 
with good snow fall in the mountains, they were able to 
drive up to the ski resort on three different days.

Bonnie enjoyed the down time with the family, but it 
didn't last. She had a two night speaking engagement in 
the week between Christmas and new years and then a 
three night tour in New England the week after New 
Years. The only good part was that on the first trip 
Cooper was able to go too, so that was a nice break 
from the growing tedium of the road.

On New Years itself, Bonnie and Cooper just stayed 
home. Though Sheri and Herb sponsored a party that by 
all accounts became quite the bacchanal, but Bonnie had 
called Sherri and told her that she was just too worn 
out to come. Sherri was understanding for which Bonnie 
was grateful. So she and Cooper spent New Years 
relaxing in their new hot tub on the patio. By family 
agreement this was the big family Christmas present 
this year. It had been installed while they were in 
Tennessee and had been used every night since.

Misty on the other hand had quite the night. A night of 
anxiety and decisions. 

She and Tommy Francis had been moving down the path to 
being a couple, slowly for the past six months. In 
December it had moved forward after months of cat and 
mouse.

It had been after one of their long talks where Misty 
again told Tommy she loved him with all her heart, but 
he had to take her as she was, not as he wanted her to 
be. They had been through this a dozen times but each 
time he'd balked at the fact she did not believe in 
sexual monogamy in dating or in marriage. It came as a 
great surprise to her when he finally said "I 
understand Misty and I'm not sure I can deal with it, 
but I want to give it a try."

The next night they went to the Publications Staff 
Christmas party as a couple. Bonnie knew that although 
she had many supporters in her openness, the fact was 
there were more detractors. Not actively attacking her, 
but quietly disapproving and these people would, no 
doubt, let Tommy have a piece of their mind. She knew 
even among Tommy's close friends there were those who 
told him to follow his heart and those who said to stay 
away from that Misty slut.

So she knew arriving as a couple would be big campus 
news. News that would forever change how people saw 
Tommy. This was much more of a sacrifice for him. She 
had demanded he accept her choices. Was it fair to ask 
him to do that? She wasn't sure if fair was the right 
word, but she had been willing to forgo this 
relationship that she wanted so badly to be true to her 
beliefs. So perhaps the sacrifice was mutual.

The publication staff all knew of Tommy and Misty's 
closeness so it did not come as any great surprise. And 
as these things usually go, those people who knew Misty 
well, even if they did not believe in free and open sex 
as she did, respected her commitment as one of 
conscience not just an excuse for being a tramp. As 
such it was not her friends and classmates that starred 
when Misty and Tommy arrived, it was their dates. 

After the initial unease of being a special, Tommy 
relaxed and they had a nice evening. Misty for her part 
had worn a particularly conservative outfit and was in 
no way provocative at the party. After the party Tommy 
drove her home.

The kiss at the front door was passionate. She pulled 
him close and could feel the erection in his slacks 
pressing on her abdomen. Their kissing continued and 
continued. She was so ready to go in and make love, and 
she could feel his hips rocking into her. After some 
time she realized he wasn't going to ask so she moved 
her lips to his ear and said "Do you want to go in.' 
then kissed him on the neck before saying, "I do have 
condoms."

She could feel his indecision she then whispered, "I 
know it may be a shock to you, but I'm not a virgin."

That broke the tension. He began to laugh. "Really? I'm 
so shocked. How could you have deceived me like that?

She took his jovial answer to be a yes and opened the 
door and led him inside. 

The house was quiet. Her mom was out on a speaking 
engagement and Dad apparently was in bed. When the 
ascended the stairs she could hear Lamar's video game 
in the game room but did not comment.

Once in her room, she shut the door (for his comfort). 
He looked lost and unsure of what to do next. So she 
helped out by initiating the kissing again.

This time, before long his hand wandered up the front 
of her dress and cupped the mound of her breast, which 
was fully covered by her dress and uncharacteristically 
a fully lined bra (she only had one).

Breaking the kiss, she stepped back, and imitating what 
she'd seen in dozens of movies, she unzipped her dress 
and let it fall to the floor at her feet. She felt 
sexy. She knew she was sexy. Slowly she reached behind 
her back and unhooked the bra, then let it slide down 
her arms.

She felt her skin tingle with anticipation. Though she 
had sex many times before, this was clearly different. 
In a word, this would be special, no just fucking but 
making love.

She wrapped her arms around Tommy and pressed her lips 
to his. She deliberately slowed the pace. Her kisses 
started soft, and then with a controlled restraint she 
let the passion grow.

His hands once again moved to her breast, but now they 
were bare for his hands to cup. She leaned back on his 
left arm which still firmly held her. She arched her 
back pressing her chest up toward his face. He looked 
at the soft mounds of flesh tipped with dark erect 
nipples. His hand cupped her left breast and he leaned 
down to take the offered nipple in his lips. She let 
out her breath slowly feeling his soft lips caress the 
sensitive flesh.

When both nipples had been teased to almost painful 
fullness, she slipped out of his grasp down to her 
knees. She pressed her face to the fly of his jeans. 
The firm tube inside pressed on her cheek. She stoked 
the ridge with her hand before using both hands to undo 
the buckle and then the button. 

For a young woman committed to sexual openness the 
sudden thought that she must out do all previous girls 
he had been with, was unwelcome. But there it was, she 
now felt in a competition with the other girls to be 
the best. To be the most amazing lover he will ever 
have. In her mind she was a spectator and was directing 
herself. It was a competing feeling with that of love 
and oneness with Tommy, but as she both unzipped his 
pants and watched herself unzipping his pants she 
melded the two perspectives into a single performance; 
for him and for herself.

Misty took the sides of his jeans and slowly pulled 
them down to his thighs. The erection pressed up and 
out in his checked boxers. Still holding his pant she 
leaned in and kissed the fabric. Her tongue had no 
problem finding the opening and touched the bare flesh 
through the fly. She didn't move, just let her tongue 
snake its way up and down as far as it could move. She 
felt a quiver in his thighs. She was pleased.

She had to pull the waistband over the erection. It was 
beautiful. It was perfect. She knew somewhere in her 
mind, it was just an average dick, but to her it was 
perfect. She looked at with loving and longing. She let 
her fingers explore it from the pink head down to the 
bottom of the soft sack. With reverence she kissed the 
tip before opening her lips to receive the sacrament. 
She just held it in her mouth. Her lips wrapped around 
the base of the head. Her tongue scooping the stream of 
pre-cum oozing from the tip.

She was completely wrapped in the moment: the taste, 
the smell, the texture and shape of Tommy's penis in 
her mouth all brought her fulfillment and joy. 

One hand cradled his full sack, and her experience came 
in to play while as she was only trying to relish in 
the moment, she felt his balls pull upward and knew 
what was coming. When the semen started to stream into 
her mouth she was ready and drew out all she could not 
loosing a drop as she swallowed his seed.

She held him in her mouth until well after the last 
spasm had been spent and the last drop expelled. 
Careful not to give too much stimulation she exerted a 
slight draw on the deflating penis in her mouth. As she 
had hoped, she prevented complete decompression of the 
organ and when she stood to kiss him she left him 
nearly hard enough to put on a condom.

And kiss him she did. He tried to apologize for his 
lack of control. She would have none of it. She knew he 
had plenty more for her tonight. Not asking if he 
wanted or like to kiss after oral sex. She kissed him 
hard and deep. She kissed him with a soulful kiss that 
drew essence from his mouth as she had drawn it from 
his loins moments before.

When she felt his fullness again pressing on her 
stomach, she led him to the bed, stepping out of his 
pants as they went. She helped him off with his shirt 
and then slid her panties to the floor.

He was completely passive, waiting for her direction. 
Trusting in her care. She lay him on the bed, and sat 
next to him. Looking down at his body "You are so good 
looking," she purred as her hands began to rub his 
chest. He was almost hairless and slim with out looking 
gangly. His arms and legs were well defined and as her 
hands explored them found his legs firm to the touch. 
Though she had already become familiar with his penis 
she again explored it with her hands before kissing him 
and telling him "Wait here" 

She crossed the room and took a condom from her desk 
drawer. Opening it, and with the skill of practice 
rolled it down Tommy's shaft.

"Are you ready now?" she asked.

He only nodded.

She, moving from the foot of the bed moved up and over 
his body until her sex was over his. Reaching behind 
her, she lifted his penis and guided it into her 
waiting body.

She thought she would jump out of her skin as his head 
touched her lips and began to part them. She knew she 
had been on longer and thicker penises but this one was 
Tommy's, she had longed to feel him inside her. She 
eased down, focusing on the sensation, trying to catch 
this moment in her mind and never let it go. When she 
had come to rest on his pelvis, being fully penetrated 
she looked down in his eyes.

"I love you," came the words with such meaning and 
passion that she could not imagine ever meaning it more 
for the rest of her life. For the first time she felt 
completely filled; body and soul. She knew this was the 
magic of love making. Two people becoming one flesh. 
How could it be better she wondered.

Savoring ever new sensation she rocked forward and 
kissed Tommy. Holding the kiss she began ever so slowly 
grinding her hips.

Something deep inside her began to build. It did not 
come from the electric sensations radiating from her 
clit and vagina; rather, from deeper inside. The 
feeling of fullness of sprit magnified the sensations 
derived simply by being on him by a thousand times. It 
welled up inside her like a flood of emotion and 
sensual pleasure. Unlike anything she had ever 
experienced, the first wave of new sort of orgasm 
originated deep in her, not in her clit but inside her 
very soul and radiated out with unanticipated 
intensity. Almost in convulsions her torso jerked and 
her legs gave out. She could not control her body, it 
just lay on Tommy's chest and heaved and shook. By the 
time it finally stopped she was gasping for breath and 
could feel the beads of sweat dripping from her 
forehead. 

"Are you OK?" Tommy whispered, as she lay panting and 
with a racing heart. 

She tried to speak but could not so she nodded her 
head. She rolled off of him, and between breaths said 
"Just a second, that was intense."

As her breath came back to her, she knew the special 
moment was spent, that moment of spiritual unity had 
exploded in that near death like climax. In it's place 
was left a desperate desire to fuck. The love making 
was done for now, it was now time to fuck, to please a 
burning sexual desire that seemed at that moment to be 
inexhaustible.

Tommy for his part had remained dutifully on his back, 
penis erect, for how long, Misty could not tell. She 
said "Now I'm going to fuck you till dawn, hope your 
ready."

Her legs and arms were exhausted but her sexual drive 
gave them the will to lift her to all fours and remount 
Tommy. His penis easily slipped back in and she began 
to ride him until her legs simply would not go further. 
Whereupon she rolled off and said "Your turn to work 
for a while."

Missionary, doggy, butterfly, spoons they did it all 
until Tommy gave it up a second time and lay next to 
her sweat covered, peeling off the full condom.

She wanted more, but knew they both needed a rest.

"Lets' go get a bite to eat down stairs," she said when 
she thought Tommy was about to suggest he must go home.

She could tell he was taken off guard, but pressed on. 
Reaching to her laundry hamper she tossed him a towel. 
"Put that around you" come on, she grabbed a her short 
terrycloth robe and moved toward the door.

Downstairs she could hear Lamar still on his video 
game, they grabbed a couple of soft drinks and a bag of 
Chips Ahoy and sat down at the breakfast table.

"That was the most amazing experience!," she finally 
said.

He looked at her with a sense of wonder "I've never 
done anything like that either. Do you always cum like 
that, like you did the first time?"

"No, never, that was a first," she said still somewhat 
breathless. "The other ones were more normal, not bad, 
actually really good, but they were what I'm used to. 
That first time was, well I'm not sure what it was. But 
I thought I was going to die."

He looked at her puzzled "Was it bad?"

She leaned across the table and kissed him "No. It was 
indescribably amazing. Calling it an orgasm is an 
understatement. I don't know if it was a once in a life 
time freak thing, or is that what true love means, but 
it was... well... Amazing."

A look of self importance crossed his face.

"Don't get a big head, it wasn't your sexual skill that 
got me that first time." 

He made a frown.

"It was my love for you that was so amazing," she said 
blowing a kiss

"And the others? How many others exactly?"

"I lost count. Five, six, eight, they came fast and 
kinda blended together.

"Wow," he clearly was impressed. Misty wasn't sure if 
he was impressed with himself or with her. "What did 
that?" he followed up, clearly looking for a 
complement.

"I love fucking, what do you think?"

"That's all?"

"Well?" she pretended to ponder "I guess it didn't hurt 
that you are so cute."

Footsteps coming toward the kitchen were heard. Both 
Misty and Tommy turned as Cooper strolled in. He must 
have know she had company because he wore shorts and a 
tee-shirt.

"So, you decided to take a break?"

She knew full well he knew what she had been doing but 
in a phony voice she said "What ever do you mean dear 
Father?"

Cooper chuckled, "You know what I mean. You've been 
going at it for over an hour." 

He looked a the clock on the wall "No, more like an 
hour and a half"

Tommy turned a deep crimson. Misty gave her dad a look 
that he understood. Cooper went to the cabinet and got 
a glass and filled it with water. "So how was the 
party?"

Misty chewed a bite of cookie and answered "OK, for 
that kind of party I guess," she took a sip of her Coke 
and said, "but I didn't expect it to be much, but we're 
the Editors so we were expected."

Cooper nodded in understanding. "Not like a Euro Club 
event."

"Not hardly," she scoffed. 

"I guess this is the Tommy you've been talking about 
for the last year?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Yes this is Tommy, he's met mom. I 
forgot you've never met him."

"Well hello Tommy. I've heard a lot about you." Cooper 
offered his hand to the boy wearing only a towel 
tenuously tied around his waist.

Tommy stood up, holding the towel with one hand he took 
Cooper's with the other. "Glad to meet you sir," he 
managed.

"Well, my little girl thinks a lot of you. Come over 
again." Cooper said before turning to leave. 

"If you guys aren't up when I leave in the morning, 
I'll be home by about noon. I have to inspect a project 
I designed in Macon."

"OK dad, but I don't know if he'll be staying the 
night."

"Either way is fine, just wanted to let you know I 
won't' be home when you do get up," he said before 
leaving with his glass of water.

Misty looked back to Tommy, he was now a sickly pale 
color. She took his hand "I told you my parents are OK 
we me and sex."

"I know what you said, but to walk in on us," he looked 
at their scanty coverings "Like this, and he knew what 
we've been doing."

"And he's cool with it."

"If my dad caught a guy with my sister like this, he'd 
be dead before he could reach the door."

"And you still think your parent's values are better?"

"And after what we just did, what you just said you 
felt you think faithfulness is still outdated?" he 
countered.

Though she had indeed already considered his point she 
was not about to admit it. "No," she said flatly "What 
we had upstairs was special, but do you think it would 
have happened that way if I'd never had sex?"

She didn't want to start an argument, she wanted to get 
back to business. She got up to put up the cookies, and 
made sure the tie on the robe fell lose so as to let 
the robe fall open.

She put up the cookies and tossed the empty Coke cans. 
Putting her arms around Tommy she pulled him tight 
against her bare chest. "I know we are in love and that 
I want to go back upstairs and I want you to fuck me 
again and again. I think that is all that matters 
tonight."

They began to kiss. She felt the towel at his waist. 
She pulled hard and said, "or we can start right here."

He tried to catch the towel but it fell to the ground. 

They indeed did start there, moved to the living room 
and on the stairs and in the hall outside her room and 
only after a tour of the house they made it to her 
room. She knew it was not smart but she didn't want to 
break the moment and the idea of his bare penis in her 
was so good. She didn't even try to get one until they 
had made it to her room. She figured that was why her 
mom insisted on the pill as well as condoms.

In his room Cooper could hear them in the kitchen, and 
though the glass bedroom door he could not help but see 
the dark figure of his girl bent over the couch as her 
boyfriend worked her over from behind. He looked away 
several times in the few minutes they where in the 
family room, but each time he was drawn back to the 
spectacle. He was glad it was too dark to see much more 
than shapes, but a part of him, a part he wanted to 
quell, wanted to see more.

When they had moved out of his view he felt confused 
and a bit sickened by his inability to turn away 
completely. He decided not to tell Bonnie about this 
particular thing.

***

Due to the Campbell's trip to Tennessee and a trip to 
visit Tommy took Amherst College with his parents just 
after Christmas that was the only time she and Tommy 
had been together until he returned on New Years Eve. 

He came over to the house in the late morning. Misty 
met him at the door with a very extended and very 
erotic kiss. Bonnie invited him to go out to lunch at 
Nino's, a local Italian restaurant. "Or would you and 
Misty like to stay here and play while we go out."

Of course Misty had told her mom every detail of the 
long night she had spent with Tommy. Her mom had 
assured her that that kind of emotional charged orgasm 
is not a once in a lifetime event, but it is not 
routine either. And Misty had told Tommy she had told 
her mom everything, so when Bonnie asked if Tommy and 
Misty wanted to "play" it was no even a thinly veiled 
way to ask if they wanted to stay at the house and have 
sex while they went out to eat.

If Bonnie had asked Misty that question, she would most 
certainly have said she wanted to say and have sex. But 
Tommy was not nearly as comfortable with this kind of 
openness opted to go to lunch with the family.

"Good" Bonnie said as they headed out the door "There 
will be plenty of time to play when we get back"

Misty smacked her mother on the arm for that remark. 
It's not that her mom wasn't' right, in fact she knew 
she was right. It was just she didn't like her mom 
picking at Tommy and was afraid what she might say at 
dinner.

Bonnie got the message and was very well behaved at the 
restaurant. Only after they got home did she break the 
truce by asking "How are you set for condoms?" as Misty 
and Tommy exited the car.

Misty glared at her mother.

"What?" Bonnie asked "I just wanted to know if you need 
any from the basket in the game room before you guys 
get into it."

Misty wasn't' sure if her mom was just being smart or 
did she really want to know. After all last time she 
and Tommy did it she had gone with out a condom for way 
too long. "I have condoms, I got some from the basket 
before he came over this morning. All right!"

"OK, you two have fun." Bonnie enjoined as they headed 
up the stairs.

Shutting the door Misty fumed "I'm sorry my mom is 
giving you a hard time."

"She's not bothering me. After your dad walked in on 
us, nothing will rattle me again. And besides. I've 
been thinking a lot over the past weeks. I'm not 
saying, I agree with your stand on sex, but I see the 
whole openness thing does have merit. I know I said 
last year your parents are sick for letting you do it 
in the house, but I was wrong. It was just such a new 
idea. Now I see how it works, and how well your family 
gets along with it, I don't know what I believe now, 
but I am seeing more of your point"

Misty thought through what he said. "Well, we are not 
perfect. Mom and I have had our share of fights and 
Lamar drives me crazy."

"I didn't say you guys were some perfect TV family, I 
just said I see how taking away all the crazy 
secretiveness out of sex stuff seems to make you all 
more open to talk to each other. At my house my older 
sister moved out because she felt so stifled at home. 
Now looking back I see the real issue was she and her 
boyfriend, and sex. In my case I know I have to deceive 
my parents about what I do and I even think they know I 
do. It's like the game they all play so as not to talk 
about the truth. It sucks"

As he was talking Misty was removing her clothes and 
she didn't put them back on until they had used two 
condoms, taken a nap and used a third. It was a great 
welcome home, but she was a bit disappointed that she 
didn't have the same experience she had the first time.

Bonnie met them in the family room when Misty and Tommy 
came down. Misty beat her to the punch and said "We had 
a really good time Mom, but I will need some more 
condoms before the party tonight. Can I have the ones 
in the game room or will you be taking them for your 
party at Sherri's."

Unphased Bonnie said, "No you can take the ones in the 
game room. Your dad and I are staying home tonight. The 
gang will have to party without us this New Years."

Now actually curious Misty asked "Why, I thought you 
were looking forward to it?"

"I was but I am just so tired, it's been a long week 
and if I went I wouldn't be any fun. So we're just 
going to sit home."

"I'm sorry, but I understand." Misty said with real 
empathy for her mom. 

"What are your plans for the night?" Bonnie asked her 
daughter.

"Tommy is going home now but will be back to pick me up 
at 9:00. We are going to Caitlin's house. I figure 
we'll be there until about 1:00 and then we'll come 
home."

"Will you be staying with us tonight Tommy? You know 
your always welcome."

"No, Thanks Ms. Campbell but I I have to be home by 
1:30. Thank you for the invite but last time I came 
over I was lucky they had gone to sleep. If they knew 
when I got home I'd be grounded and they would probably 
make me take a chaperone with me tonight."

"I understand." The mother said, "But I wasn't kidding 
about he condoms, I know Caitlin and you will likely 
need several." 

Tommy now looked a bit uncomfortable but made a brave 
show of it "So Misty has told me. I think she has about 
a dozen in her purse." Then in a leap of personal 
courage he added "I may be able to go a long time, but 
I don't need a dozen"

Misty, in order to tell him was taking the right track 
with her mother, slapped him on the rear. In her mind 
though, were other concerns. Concerns about what was 
going to happen at the party and how would Tommy react.

Bonnie also saw that comment for the step it was for 
Tommy went on with out comment "OK then. I probably 
won't be up when you get home. Have fun."

After Tommy had left, Misty began to worry. She even 
considered faking sick. She was so happy with Tommy. 
She loved him. Her first love and he had accepted her 
for who she was. That meant something. Would she risk 
all that just to make a show of enjoying sex with other 
people?

She called Keli. "I just don't know what to do?"

"I can't tell you that." Keli answered. "I don't know 
what is right for you? Isn't that what you taught me, I 
should do what I believe is right for me, not what 
other people think I should do."

"So, I should ignore what the crew expect me to do, and 
just do it with Tommy?"

"I didn't say that, but I'm not disagreeing. You've 
always said to ask yourself whether you will be proud 
of the decision you make tomorrow and ten years from 
now. So just do what you will wish you had done."

In the shower later Misty thought about what Keli had 
said, or rather thought about the advice she had so 
freely handed out to others. So, she wondered what was 
the right course: do what the Euro Clubers thought she 
should do or do what Tommy was hoping she would do?

She stood in front of the full length mirror in the 
bathroom. Looking at her naked reflection. She then 
realized she was asking the wrong question. The 
question should be different. It was not what did her 
friends or her boyfriend want, or expect her to do. To 
her reflection she posed the question "What is true to 
Misty? What will be true to who I am, as a person?"

She now had the right question but for an answer, she 
would have to wait for tonight.

As planned Tommy was back at 9:00. She was ready. As 
she had dressed conservatively for the Publications 
Staff party, she wanted to dress sexy chic for this 
party but it was a typical December night in Georgia. 
The temperature was in the low 50's and still a bit 
humid. She knew Caitlin's place was not big so the 
party would be as much outside as in, so she dressed 
for that in mind. A pair of jeans, was a better choice 
than a miniskirt which would freeze her ass off. How 
sexy would chattering teeth be?

So out she went in a pair of low-rise jeans, and her 
mother's burgundy leather Anger jacket, with nothing on 
under it. Outside she keeps it buttoned and she'd be 
plenty warm, inside she'd just unbutton it. Due to the 
weight of the leather it did not expose her nipples 
even moving around, but no one would miss she was bare 
underneath. Perfect. That was Misty: proactive but in 
control.

Nearly the whole crew were there with dates and Misty 
had been right, the party was mostly outside. Caitlin's 
place was typical of rural Georgia, actually much more 
typical than the clapboard house with a screen porch of 
popular lore; on a tract of land inherited from her 
grandfather, sat a white doublewide. It sat all by 
itself at the end of a long washed out drive. Caitlin's 
mom owned the trailer that she shared with her long 
term boyfriend. 

In the field of scrub beside the trailer an awning had 
been erected and underneath was a well lit table of 
food and drinks. A mismatched assembly of lawn chairs 
and benches and even a few stumps surrounded a fire 
pit, set, but not yet burning.

Misty had know Caitlin since grade school. She could 
remember two other "step-dads" Caitlin had spoken of 
over the years. Misty had been here many times over the 
years and Caitlin's mom liked Misty. Looking back she 
now could see that some of her school mates over the 
years had shunned Caitlin because she was not from 
"town", which was code for being poor and/or red neck. 
But what may have been her fatal problem with such 
people was that she was also smart. Once her mom had 
told her that one thing most people hate is a person 
that doesn't fit neatly into their prejudices. Caitlin 
was the nearest thing she had to a sister. Though there 
had been a couple of years where she pulled away, she 
and Caitlin had a long history.

Misty made the rounds and talked to all her friends, it 
was the first time the whole crew had been together 
since late summer. Tommy wasn't the only new boyfriend 
to the group and it didn't appear that Tommy knew any 
of them well.

The fire was lit and, none to soon, for leather jacket 
or no, Misty was getting cold. Someone put on some 
tunes Misty was the first to start dancing. 
Unsurprisingly only the girls joined her but that was 
no matter, she and her best friends were having fun. 

As they danced the other girls began tossing their 
sweaters or jackets aside. As it turned out Misty 
wasn't the only one who wore no underwear under her 
outer wear. When Rebecca tossed her cable knit sweater 
to Samuel, her boobs were on display and Misty's coat 
was already on its way off when she saw Rebecca. Thus 
began, in true Euro Club fashion a slow, but steady 
removal of clothing by the dancers until by mid-night 
all the girls were topless.

The break in the dancing for New Years celebration 
quickly let to the sweaty bodies getting chilled and 
the party breaking up a little earlier than 
anticipated.

It worked out for Misty. She didn't have to make a 
choice; to her, dancing topless in front of the guys 
was not even a point of concern, though she knew that 
it was another leap for Tommy. But, she reasoned, it 
wasn't much of a leap for even him as every guy in 
school had seen naked photos of her.

And besides the fact she didn't get put on the spot 
about monogamy, by leaving early she and Tommy had time 
for the hot tub and condom number four for the day.
