Millie collapsed on the couch next to her. She rested her arm across the back of the couch and her head against her palm. The smile on her face screamed trouble.
    “Ok, out with it.”
    The smile grew. It lit up her bright eyes and Lucy couldn’t help but laugh, despite how tired she was.
    “Ok, so you know Robert, Tom’s friend?” Millie didn’t even give her a chance to answer. She just plowed on. Which was better, Lucy didn’t have the strength to form questions just yet.
    “Well, you know how he is a Dominant in the ‘scene’ right?”
    It amused Lucy that Millie called it ‘the scene’. She was like fresh meat. Lucy refused to take her to clubs or play parties. She knew that once Millie got the taste, she wouldn’t be going back. It was a hard love life to have. You never knew who you could trust, or who would be accepting if it wasn’t in a club setting. After her last debacle and ex boyfriend, Lucy had decided it was time to stay away from clubs. It had been lonely to say the least. She only nodded at her friend, allowing her to continue.
    “He is having one of those play parties. He called and invited me. Said he needs new blood in his house. He also said I could bring a plus one.” Millie added to that statement by winking at her.
    Realizing what the woman was about to propose, she got up.
    “No, no. I just got off a nearly fifty six hour shift, Millie. As much as a firm hand would feel really good, I would be the most not fun to play with partner today. I know you love Halloween, and this would be your first party, but Millie, I can’t do it.”
    She turned from her friend and Millie charged at her.
    “God, please Luce! I can’t go on my own; I would be way too scared. Besides, you and I both know this is Brad’s thing. He will be home this Christmas and I would love to know something so I don’t look like some baby doll.”
    Lucy sighed. Getting to the fridge and pulling out the orange juice, she poured a glass. There would be no sleeping until Millie got off this topic.
    “What if he doesn’t come home, Millie? What if he doesn’t come home until 4 th of July, then you have time?”
    “I can’t rely on that, Luce. Come on, for me, for fun, for the love of all that is spontaneous and crazy, please, Luce!”
    “Okay, okay! Down girl! If—“ Millie started to squeal. “I said if I can get a solid afternoon sleep, then we can go. But you have to get us something to wear. I’m going to sleep until the last minute.”
    Millie screamed. Jumping up and down in the kitchen she pounced, and locked Lucy in a tight hug.
    “Thank you, thank you, thank you! You won’t regret this at all.”
    Lucy nodded. The annoyed look in her eyes said otherwise. She had been with a good number of the male Dominants that Robert knew. So, it was just another night for her. She didn’t repeat, and she knew most of the firemen were either married, submissive, or single men that didn’t do relationships—like Robert. Making it to the door of her room, she turned back to Millie, still jumping up and down and mouthing silent words in exhilaration.
    “Um, Mill?”
    “Yeah, Luce?”
    “Is Tom going to be there?”
    “Yep, I think he is going over to Robert’s this afternoon. He’s helping him set up the equipment, checking it or something. Robert said Tom was staying for the party.” She waved her hands around as if she didn’t care. “Maybe you can just play with him.”
    “Right and maybe pigs would fly.” Lucy rolled her eyes as she slipped into her room, shutting the door behind her.
    When Millie saw she had gone she dashed to her room and grabbed her phone. Quickly, she typed in her single response. He would get the picture.
    She’ll be there.

    Tom wasn’t jealous of Rob’s house. He didn’t have to pay for it. It was set back and had a large wraparound garden. The back yard was walled off for privacy. It was perfect for play parties. That was the main reason Rob had bought it.
    Tom dropped
