Nordlys: The Northern Lights Orgy Club

71

Light impinges itself on the back of my eyelids, filtered through tiny red capillaries and thin peach skin. I moan softly.

"Ma'am" I hear a male voice say, faintly, as if from a great distance.

I groan, turning my head away blindly.

"Ma'am, I have Ms. Britt, on the phone for you" the male voice speaks again.

I turn my head sharply back towards the speaker, though my eyes are still closed.

"Britt?" I mumble.

I can feel something hard and plastic pressed against my ear.

"Mary, Darling!" Britt's familiar voice coos into my ear.

"Britt, where are you?" I ask hazily.

"Bad news, I'm afraid, Love. I'm in quarantine" she informs me sadly.

I squint my eyes, trying to open them in the harsh light of day streaming through the fully open windows.

"What happened?" I croak, trying to sit up, cradling my heavy head with one hand and holding the phone with the other.

"Did you watch the Ritual?" she asks. "You did, didn't you?" she continues talking before I can say anything. A glass of water is shoved into my hand, and I accept it gratefully, gulping it down while she keeps talking. "Your FAVORITE person" her voice drips with sarcasm, "brought in an unregistered prostitute. Auggie sampled her, then I was with Auggie, then Auggie performed his duties with the new Initiate, immediately followed by the Ritual Second" Britt sighs heavily before continuing, "Long story short, everyone that Auggie and I have touched, and everyone they have touched, have to be quarantined. We are running our own tests on the prostitute to see if she is clean, but that will take a bit of time" Britt explains.

"That... could be a lot of people" I comment.

"Yeah" she responds.

"So the Event has to be canceled?" the pitch of my voice rises in dismay.

"Well... uh, no" Britt answers, almost sounding like she wished I hadn't asked.

"But.. if there's a quarantine... don't you have to shut everything down?" I query.

"We are all kinda quarantined... together, Love. Don't come up. The penthouse is locked" she tells me.

My jaw drops.

"Everyone?" I mumble weakly.

"No, not everyone" she responds. "Some people escaped the risk".

"Oh, where can I find them?" I ask hopefully.

"Mary..." Britt's voice is low like she is about say something she knows I don't want to hear.

"What?" I ask with trepidation.

"It's just... this is a risky time for the babies, and Auggie and I can't be there to watch over you..." Britt hedges.

"Britt, don't do this to me" I plead.

"Mary, you know I wouldn't ask, if I didn't think it wasn't absolutely crucial" Britt justifies.

"Briiiitttttt!" I whine.

"I promise we will make it up to you" Britt pledges.

"How?" I laugh wryly. "I've been looking forward to this ALL month, since Lars ruined the LAST event for me" I complain.

"Next Event is ALL about YOU, Darling, I promise" Britt says soothingly. "You're the STAR!"

I chuckle bashfully. "I don't need all that. I just want to participate. I feel like I am always locked out lately" I confess.
