Chapter Five: Visiting a Coven

"Undressing! In class!" thought Soo Young. It made sense... in a sort of crazy way. And this class certainly was all about crazy! But still, it isn't the sort of thing a young virgin lady takes on lightly... or anyone but a stripper, for that matter. She wrestled with the thought as she lay in bed waiting for sleep to come.

She talked with Raven Lee about it.

"Oh yes! Now that you mention it, we did it in our class. And, yes, it was spooky at the time." she smiled as the memories came back, "Yes, it was really scary that first time. But we were tied up, so what could we do? That and we felt we could trust Mr. Thorne a lot by then -- not completely, but a lot." She thought back some more, "And our female submissive thinking had started to kick in.

"Once we actually started doing it, it felt really neat. That walking-the-walk grows on you." she smiled at Soo Young. Then she had a thought.

"Mr. Thorne is coming to our coven this evening for a group session. Would you like to come and see how one of those goes? We'll be walking the walk, naked, there."

"He still meets with you?" said Soo Young.

"Oh yes! And we love it when he does, but it's about every twelve days these days. He's so busy!" she sighed.

"I... I... I guess I'd learn a lot about what's coming," said Soo Young.

Ravel Lee smiled, "I'll have to check with the rest of the coven and Mr. Thorne. If it's not OK, I'll give you a call. If you don't hear from me, come over about 7PM. We start with dinner, talk and watch a movie together to get warm and cuddly, then get into the fun stuff. Expect to be totally naked in front of Mr. Thorne," she smiled again, "and he'll be totally naked in front of you."

Raven Lee was comfortable, but the thought of parading naked in front of a naked man sent chills up Soo Young's spine. She was a good girl, and a virgin, and still really wanted to be both. What were she, and her girls, getting into?

"I guess I'll find out." she thought to herself as she was walking back to the school building.

<<<*>>>

Soo Young knocked on the door at 7PM. She was wearing a simple summer dress, sandals, and few accessories. Getting stuff off easily while in Mr. Thorne's hands was on her mind as she selected. One of the ladies opened the door, smiled, and let her in. She was courteous, and lead Soo Young into the living room, but it was clear something else had most of her attention. This lady was dressed even more simply than Soo Young, just a top and short shorts. And... no bra, perhaps? Raven Lee was in the living room and greeted her warmly.

"Dinner is pot luck buffet. No, you're a special guest it's OK that you didn't bring anything," she patted Soo Young's arm, "You're one of two guests tonight, Nora over there is the other. You'll find out why she is a guest a bit later," Raven Lee looked at Nora... admiringly? enviously? Soo Young wasn't sure. Then she continued, "We'll start when Mr. Thorne finishes with his consulting. In the meantime, have a seat in the living room and get acquainted."

"He's here now? What does he consult on?"

"Oh, he knows so much about so many things! He comes about noon, has lunch, and mentors us until dinner time. We talk about our projects at work and he gives advice. When dinner time comes we all kick back and relax... and start having some touchy-feely fun," She smiles at that thought.

"Wow! This coven business keeps him real busy."

Raven Lee nodded, "And he does this with all the covens," then she confided, "I think your's may be the last, for a while at least. This is keeping him so busy now."

Soo Young didn't have to make small talk for long before Mr. Thorne came out of the meeting room. He was smiling and a couple of the women came out with him and stole kisses. He smiled even more at that and took a bathroom break. While he was doing that the dining room was transformed from meeting room to eating room.

When he came out again, Raven Lee introduced him to Soo Young. He smiled at her and shook her hand, "You're the teacher in the advanced class, right? I hope things are going well there. They seem to be. You're doing a fine job," and that said, he headed for the dining room saying to everyone, "You women have worked me to the bone... the skull bone! Now I'm hungry as a bear!"

Soo Young was surprised that here he was treating her like just another person, an acquaintance, almost a stranger. He didn't fondle her, or leer at her, or twist her arms behind her and tie her up. He just shook hands and moved on. Clearly she was not at the top of his attention stack right now.

But as she looked around, she could see why. All these ladies were good looking, and all were really excited to have him here. She shrugged and headed in for dinner.

The dinner was filled with good food and lively conversation. Mr. Thorne brought up all sorts of current events topics and the ladies joined right in. It was such a swirl, but now she understood better why her own students seemed to have a different understanding of the world than students she had taught in the other school. Mr. Thorne had a different approach, that was for sure!

Dinner ended and most of the group adjourned to the living room. Raven Lee and another girl quickly cleaned up the dining room and then joined the others. Mr. Thorne sat on the floor in front of the couch. This puzzled Soo Young, until she saw one of the girls plop herself down directly in front of him and lean back into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, and her eyes half closed in quiet contentment. Two other girls plopped down on either side of him, and another girl lay down on the couch seats and wove her fingers through his hair. Yeah, this sitting in front of the couch seemed to lead to maximum contentment! Soo Young was one of the outer circle, sitting on a side couch, but this let her watch what was happening better. Raven Lee sat next to her when she finished cleaning up.

One of the other girls had the remote, and soon the movie started. Soo Young noticed that the volume was quite low. After it started, Mr. Thorne's hands were all over the girl in front of him, and she was loving it. She didn't get excited or squirmy, she got calmed down and responsive to his every touch. Before too long, he raised up her arms and pulled off her top. Then he pushed her head into her knees and rubbed her back with a dozen different strokes. It sure looked good-feeling, and the girl relaxed even more.

Then he grabbed her neck in a slightly rough way and arm locked both her arms behind her. She was a prisoner, and he then got a cloth and tied her arms behind her. She stayed very still while it happened. When she was tied, he pulled her upright again and twisted her around to kiss him. It was a smoking kiss! That done, he helped her up to her knees, patted her bum, and she moved to one side so her place could be taken by another girl. This first girl then watched the movie, but not without some help. The girl beside her gave her some nice rubs, front and back, and a kiss or two as the movie progressed.

One-by-one the girls got their turn in front of Mr. Thorne, and got back rubbed, front rubbed, detopped, and tied up.

Raven Lee was next to last, and when the last girl, the one with the remote, took her turn she paused the movie. Mr. Thorne treated her differently. He stood when she came over. And she treated him differently as well. She first kissed him, then unbuttoned his shirt, then helped him strip naked. As she finished pulling his pants to his ankles and he stepped out of them, she was half-kneeling in front of him, and she gently pulled his penis into her mouth. Thorne gasped at this, and this was the noisiest anyone had been so far. Soo Young was a bit surprised at that. Then again, she'd never seen a blow job before.

This went on for only a minute before Mr. Thorne got a good grasp on her hair and pulled her to standing. He turned her around, and quickly stripped her and tied her. She submitted with a smile on her face, and he was breathing heavily as he did. The girl had clearly fired him, and she was happy she had.

The next step was about to happen when Mr. Thorne remembered Soo Young. He looked at her, a little startled, then asked her calmly, "Ah, my dear, are you ready to get stripped and tied?"

She nodded, and he motioned her over to him. He was slow and gentle about getting her clothes off. He didn't say a thing about the bra. He treated her like this was her first time, and the other girls were patient. Once naked, she held her arms behind her, and he tied them in a simple wrist tie. He turned her around and caressed her face with his fingers, "OK?" he asked.

She was much more than OK. This was her first time getting tied, ever. It felt so strange... she was feeling so helpless... and so submissive that it was hard to even nod "yes". And her vagina was joining in on the joy, she was close to orgasm. He caressed her breasts and tummy, then walked her back to her place.

Then the girls did what Raven Lee called walking-the-walk. One-by-one they came up to Mr. Thorne. He finished stripping them, then they walked back and forth across the living room. They walked like they wanted to show their stuff, and the first two times they walked back to him, they would plant a breast into his waiting hand. He loved it, and they loved it. He would fondle, then turn them around and stroke butt, then give the butt a pat and they would walk the walk again. The third time he would slide one hand into their crotch as they came back, while the other gripped their neck and tilted their head back for some noisy lip locking. He loved it and they loved it even more. And now things were getting louder, there were more gasps and moans all around.

When all had walked Mr. Thorne asked in a husky and serious voice, "Who's ready to make a baby?" and looked around. Nora stepped forward, up to him, and kissed him hard. He kissed her back, surrounded her body with his arms, and his breathing deepened.

When he got his breath back he said, "One more," and Carrie came forward. He kissed her a dip kiss and both then stood to one side. He untied the other women and gave them kisses and bum pats as he did. That done, he lead the two selected women in to the master bedroom and closed the door.

The other women settled in front of the TV again and the movie resumed. Raven Lee whispered to Soo Young, "Mr. Thorne always gives baby making first priority. That's why Nora was a guest tonight, and why she gets first pass." Raven Lee's way of saying this convinced Soo Young that envy was a little ahead of admiration in her thinking, she wanted to be in that room!

The girls did not act like this was the end, it was more like they were now in a waiting room. Sure enough, about twenty minutes later, the bedroom door opened and Mr. Thorne and the two ladies came out, smiling contentedly, and they all took up their places in front of the TV again. Mr. Thorne did more of his back and front rubbing as the girls periodically traded places with each other so they could cuddle and be cuddled. They didn't get tied this time, just touched. For the rest of the movie it was a quiet time for all, but all were deeply enjoying it.

When the movie ended the party broke up. Mr. Thorne took two different girls into the guest bedroom and the rest of the women headed for bed. Raven Lee smiled at Soo Young and gave her a hug, "That's about it, Soo Young," she glanced at the guest bedroom door. "We'll keep trading off, but there's nothing more for you to see," she yawned, she was tired, it had been a long and pleasant day for her, "Any questions?"

"Each of the covens gets something like this?" asked Soo Young.

"Something like it. There are variations on the theme. We girls know what Mr. Thorne likes, and we know what we like."

That was all Soo Young could think of. She got dressed, Raven Lee let her out, and she headed to her own bedroom with a lot to think about.

<<<*>>>

"So this is what I'm getting into," she thought as she lay on her bed waiting for sleep to take her. It was like nothing she had ever seen before, and she couldn't remember a romance novel that came even close. Still, the more she thought about it, the warmer she got. She liked Mr. Thorne's touch, and the fact that the coven women made so many of the day-to-day choices looked very appealing.

And they all seemed so successful! Wow! What was not to like?

<<<*>>>

The weekend comes and Soo Young shops at the mall. She's in the food court when a strange man and woman come up an introduce themselves.

"I'm Richard Henley and this is Mildred Bryce. We're from the state Child Protective Services and the State Board of Education. May we join you for a moment?"

This was out of the blue for Soo Young, but she said, "Sure."

They seated themselves and started right in.

"We heard from people at the Acme Academy were you previously worked that you are now with the Thorne Academy. Is that true?"

"Yes."

They smiled at each other.

"The Thorne Academy is something of a cipher to us. Our departments look after children, and the Thorne academy has both an orphanage and a school. The orphanage we inspect regularly, but we don't have access to the academy. The academy is not in any town jurisdiction so there's no Board of Education monitoring it. Legally, it's like an overgrown home study group. This has us concerned. There are a lot of kids there, but we know little about the academy. We'd like your help in finding out more."

"What would you like me to do?"

"Oh, it's pretty simple. We'd like you to be our eyes and ears there. If you see or hear about things that we should know about -- rule violating things -- let us know so we can investigate further. We will, of course, keep your name out of whatever investigations come up."

"Why are you talking with me?"

"We're trying to develop some informal contacts within the academy. Most of the teachers and administrators are home-grown and a tight-lipped lot. You're a newcomer and an outsider. So... we're talking."

Soo Young thinks, then says, "OK. I'll do what I can to help." It seems like the most diplomatic answer at this point.

Henley and Bryce give her cards, then move on. Soo Young thinks about this, but not for long, when she gets back to the academy she tells Alana about the incident.

"Oh dear! But... I guess I'm not surprised. We cooperate with those people as much as necessary, but there are some who have a grudge against us.

"To give you some background, Mr. Thorne has friends in the state legislature, powerful friends. Before he set this complex up he secretly bought the property and then had this declared a special taxing district. We are, in effect, our own county. It's much like what the Disneys did when they decided they wanted a Disneyland in Florida.

"But some people watch us carefully and are both interested and worried about the kids we raise. We have some failures, as all educating facilities do, but when these concerned people hear about our failures they don't shrug them off, they want to intervene.

"So... yes... These people are asking you to spy for them," she smiles, "It's your choice as to how to deal with them. I recommend talking to them as little as you can, and keep me posted when you do. But, it really is your choice."

"I suppose they would be very interested in what's happening in Mr. Thorne's special class. I don't mean this as a threat, or anything, I'm just trying to understand."

Alana pauses for a bit, "Yes, in these times that class would be of great interest to them. The moral panic and prescriptive feelings about how children and women should be treated have grown so much!

"So please keep in mind that your class is an experiment. We are trying to find better ways to raise our children. And you're very much a part of that experiment. Please keep that in mind, and let me know if those two continue to pester you. As I said, Mr. Thorne has powerful friends, and for a decade he has been effective at dealing with problems like snoopy inspectors."

And that ended the meeting.
