A note to readers:
This is a long story that unfolds chapter by chapter through the eyes of two protagonists - Mark and Elsa, and as in many of my other stories involves a growing spate of horny characters.
Every ten chapters or so I will provide a short summary at the start of that episode to bring new readers up to date (see start of Ch. 40).
This story could appear in a number of genres (Loving Wives, Incest, Lesbian, Fetish, and more) depending on the chapter, but the overall theme is Group, so I have applied this moniker to all chapters. The story is still being written, yet I intend to post a new chapter every couple of days. Enjoy.
Chapter 49 - Plans For a New Home. Learning to Fly
Mark
There were about a dozen of us standing in the middle of the field we euphemistically called The Farm. I didn't like that name. I wanted something more like Tara - the fictional plantation in
Gone With The Wind.
It didn't even need to sound that dramatic. I even wanted a pastoral feel to the name since we were in the country. I had put out the need for a better name to everyone, and declared I was the judge and jury on what the winning name was. In fact, I wanted every one of us to love the new name.
Standing around in the early afternoon sun were Elsa, Cindy, Sheila, Melanie, KC, and me, plus Greg, Kim, Pam, and Sean, Lucas and Marcia. In the distance along the new access road there were several other security staff, along with our cars.
Greg and Sean had set up a large folding table where about forty large blueprint size pages showing the design of the house lay spread out and held down in the breeze by some rocks. A large portable computer also graced the table. There was also an easel with about ten foam board sketches and plans on them large enough for everyone to see. A bungee chord kept the boards from blowing away in the light breeze.
Greg started the presentation. "This is the first draft of the house plan for you. You've all had input to it, even Pam and Kim, and a few others such as Barnes, Marshall, Deke, and so on. On the ground behind you, you can see various colored stakes of different heights."
Greg walked over to one. The stakes like this orange one map out the perimeter of the main house." He unfurled the first page of the large sheets and we all looked. "This is one version of what the front might look like. The entry way would be between those blue stakes off of a circular driveway on this side of the house."
Greg continued elaborating on room arrangement and showing on the computer a 'fly through' of the house. He also pointed to various rooms on the plans on the easel.
Sean picked up, "A connected 'out' building will house the vehicle fleet, yard maintenance equipment, ten golf carts to get around in, and a full-size gymnasium. Along the backside of the gym is an indoor firing range. You already have an outdoor range down by the runway. Adjacent to the far end of the gym are also several workout rooms, some with mats and some with equipment." He went on detailing the various components.
Elsa then talked about the sleeping wing of the house and the upstairs rooms, a three-story structure housing six master bedroom suites and ten smaller bedrooms. She explained, "This is to be a party house. We will be able to accommodate about thirty-eight people sleeping over in various configurations, providing there is some bed sharing." She giggled. "More could probably sleep if we include sofas and futons downstairs."
Lucas stepped forward and pointed at part of the plan; "We have separate quarters for onsite security staff closer to the roadway. The entire property will be fenced and state of the art sensors will warn of intruders. Cameras will be used extensively throughout the property and inside rooms. There are two safe rooms in the house; one near the main master bedroom that Mark and the girls will use, and one closer to the main living areas. I've run this design past several other security firms specializing in this kind of thing and they think our design is the best they've ever seen." Lucas also went through and detailed various aspects of the plan and other security arrangements for the property.
Greg then came forward and talked about what the girls and I should do now, basically pouring over the plans with a red pencil in hand, questioning, improving, editing, adding, deleting, modifying, and on and on. He then walked us around the house stakes, giving us a sense of the views we'd have from various windows, and the distances involved.
When they were all finished about two hours had passed. I suggested we all swim since it was a warm day and the water was a beautiful temperature. We walked down to our sodded area beside the river and stripped down, and then the twelve of us got in the river and swam around.
The buzz of conversation was all about the house - room arrangements, sizes, floors, function, appliances, doorways, windows, and even gimmicks that would be nice to have.
We had a dozen chaises and chairs scattered around on the lawn near our swimming hole, plus Elsa had gotten a large shed installed to house the water toys, towels, and even serve as a changing cabana for our more modest friends - if we ever found any.
Also in the shed was a gas refrigerator than ran on propane. Instead of running electricity a mile to service the only the shed, Elsa had arranged for the site to be self-sustaining providing we got a periodic delivery of propane. There was also a gas grill and several gaslights.
Melanie and KC played hostess and got everyone drinks, as we sat around and chatted. Despite our nudity, no one seemed intent on starting anything sexual, or if they did, they were doing a good job of hiding those needs.
