House Rules

By Mia Sumner

The house was quiet after the chaos of the pool party. Behind her, Tessa could still hear the loud music and splashes as people shouted over each other. She flipped her long, wet, brown hair over her shoulder as she peered through the patio doors into the living room.

No one was around it seemed and she stepped inside, her arms hugging her slim, athletic body as the cool air conditioning washed over her turning the water droplets on her skin cold and tightening her nipples. Spotting the pile of towels, neatly stacked on a stool, she walked over and grabbed one, wrapping it around herself.

The silence was a relief, the comparative darkness a balm. A few minutes of peace before she went back out were exactly what she needed, she decided. Everyone must be outside. Perhaps a quick visit to the bathroom.

The carpet felt soft under her bare feet and she pulled the towel a little tighter around her lithe body as she walked down the hall. Was that, the bathroom door, or was that one of the bedrooms? She paused at the entrance, pushing the door wider open. Biting her lip, she stepped into the bedroom, the thick, plush, pale carpet welcoming her even though she knew she was intruding on a private space.

Her pulse sped up just a little, she was being nosy she knew, but what Mia didn’t know couldn’t hurt her. Standing near the bed, she froze. Eyes wide, breath caught in her throat. They sat right there on Mia’s nightstand, no shame from them.

Sleek, silicone toys, thrusting upward, demanding her attention. Mouth strangely dry, she took a small step forward. Five of them, right there ready for use, and the largest of them… she swallowed. Her hand reached out, then hesitated, only an inch away. She knew what they were of course, what they were for, what Mia must do with them.

Her fingers closed around the soft silicone shaft, it felt so thick in her hand. She realized she was trembling slightly.

“The ridges on that one feel… oh so nice.” A voice from behind made Tessa start, almost jumping backward, the toys falling and scattering as she did so, the largest landing with a noticeable thud on the soft carpet. Spinning round she found herself looking slightly up into Mia’s face.

“I… I’m sorry… I was.” Tessa searched for anything that would make this okay and there was nothing.

Mia stood, maybe a foot away from her, arms loosely crossed. Her tanned skin and dark blonde hair, streaked with silver, gave her an aura of authority that made Tessa’s stomach churn. She too was in a bikini, her ample chest propped up even further by her arms. Tessa pulled her eyes back to Mia’s face, what was she thinking, this was so bad!

“Pick it up.” Mia’s voice was soft, but strong.

Tessa hurriedly bent down and grabbed the toy, cheeks flushing to be holding such a thing in front of this woman. She glanced around, wondering if she was supposed to put it back on the nightstand.

“I’m sure your mother taught you better than to snoop in other people’s rooms.”

Tessa nodded. “Yes I’m sorry. I was looking for a bathroom and then I saw your bedroom and then they were… I’ve never seen them just sitting out like that…” She rambled.

“Where else would they be?” Mia smiled. “Right where I need them. Oh look at you blush, so cute. You’re more than old enough to know about such things.” As she spoke, Mia turned and pulled the curtains closed. Tessa stood there awkwardly, dildo in her hand, not sure what to do.

“Take that wet bikini off.” It wasn’t a request. Mia had her back to Tessa now, walking to the door.

Tessa knew she should leave, but instead, trembling, she pulled the strap of her bikini top down. The door clicked shut. Outside, muffled noise from the pool party drifted by. Inside, the silence squeezed her. Mia was watching now, as she removed the last of her clothes, naked in front of this older woman. She didn’t feel cold now though, her skin radiating heat.

“Such a pretty young thing.” Mia’s voice sounded deeper now, almost husky. “They must be all over you.” Tessa flushed bright red at the implication.

“Open the drawer.” Mia instructed.

Tessa turned, pulling the nightstand drawer open, and froze again. It took a moment for her brain to translate what she was seeing. The straps, the ring A harness for, for the dildo. She turned back to Mia, wide eyed.

A hungry smile, spread across Mia’s face, she stood there naked now. Her full breasts hanging down, a slightly swell to her stomach. She met Tessa’s eyes with a challenge, showing no more shame than the silicone dildo in Tessa’s hand.

Outside, someone shouted and cannonballed into the pool

Mia gestured to the bed. Tessa’s feet were already moving.

“Bring it with you,” Mia said.
