Looking at the dock and swimming platform, Ally was surprised to see that no one was there. But hearing thunder in the distance, Ally looked up and off to the northwest where the dark clouds had been forming. That was when she saw Lois and the boys along the path that skirted the far side of the pond, hiking back toward the ranch house.
Ally immediately knew where they had been. There was a large stand of pine trees along the northern and western perimeter of the pond and back behind the pine forest was an impressive and picturesque red rock formation with many tall boulders and a small meadow in front of them that was usually filled with wildflowers this time of year.
Ally was pretty sure that Dan could not resist using the area as a backdrop for some of his photos of Lois. The area would also have really good, filtered light this time of day. Ally was sure that Dan was aware of all of this as well, since he and the other boys had picnicked with her there many times over the years.
As Ally watched the three walk back along the path, she noted that only Dan was fully clothed. Both Lois and Nick were naked, except for their sneakers. It occurred to Ally that Nick must have spent some time in front of the camera with Lois as well as behind it. Ally smiled to herself, making a mental note to ask Lois later about her little tryst among the rocks and trees.
In the meantime, Ally decided to touch base with the others and see how they were doing, but they too, were nowhere to be seen. Walking down the hallway, Ally could hear the sound of voices. Moans was more like it, Ally thought to herself with amusement, and they were coming from Sandy’s room.
Putting her ear to the door, Ally was able to make our both Sandy and Bree’s voices, as well as those of the four boys. They all sounded pleasantly occupied, so Ally decided not to disturb them and returned to the great room.
As she entered the room, she saw that Lois, Dan and Nick had returned. Ally noticed that Josh had come out from the office and was talking to Dan who shook his head yes and followed him back into the office along with Nick.
“How was the shoot?” asked Ally as she walked up to Lois. “It was a spectacular morning. I can’t wait to see the photos.”
“It was gorgeous! Wasn’t it?” enthused Lois as she slipped her dress back over her head and headed toward the kitchen with Ally at her side.
As Lois started preparing lunch for everyone, the two women continued to talk and Lois described the morning photo session with Ally peppered her with questions, especially about what went on in the meadow. Lois’ answers about the going on in the meadow were intentionally vague, with Lois enjoying making Ally pry the naughty details out of her.
Talking and giggling like schoolgirls, Lois continued preparing lunch and Ally kept an eye on the office, watching as Dan and Nick carried Dan’s computer, monitor and other things to the bedroom.
Lois also asked Ally what she and Josh were up to, sequestering themselves in the office. Ally told her they were working on the purchase of Andrew’s company, which of course was true. But then Ally had the urge to tell Lois about the websites and see what she thought about it.
As it turned out, Lois was intrigued by the idea. She said that Dan had already mentioned the sites, and that Josh had told him about them. Lois had a lot of questions and Ally confided Nunn had arranged many hookups for her in the last couple of years prior to his death using the websites.
“I think Dan wants me to do it too,” confided Lois.
“Oh, OK,” replied Ally hesitantly, sensing Lois’ trepidation. “Perhaps we could arrange a hookup together. Test the waters, so to speak. What do you think?”
“I’d feel a lot better if we did it together for the first time!” replied Lois, sounding relieved. “I don’t want to disappoint Dan, but I am a little skittish about the idea. I’m not as adventurous as you, mon cher.”
“Has he talked about uploading your profiles yet?” asked Ally.
“Yes,” replied Lois with a sigh. “He was going to use the photos from today and some of the others. That’s what he was going to do this afternoon. I’m supposed to help him after lunch.”
“Well, it sounds like he’s serious, then,” replied Ally. “I guess we should tell them about our idea, about hooking up together. What do you think?”
“Yeah, I guess,” replied Lois with another sigh. “I’ll talk to Dan about it after lunch.”
When Ally saw Josh look in her direction and beckon her back to the office, Ally excused herself.
“It’s my lord and master summoning me now,” laughed Ally as she got up from the kitchen counter. “I guess we can compare notes after lunch!”
As Ally walked off to join Josh, Dan was walking in to join Lois in the kitchen along with Nick.
“Your sous chefs are here,” announced Dan as he pecked Lois on the cheek.

Once they were back in the office, Josh was all business. He had updated all three websites with Ally’s current profiles and had her read and edit them, looking for mistakes or things she wanted to add to them. They also reviewed the photos that had been posted and varied them slightly based upon the websites’ particular target audiences.
Two of the sites were strictly devoted to hookups. They were dating sites for people who wanted to cut straight to the chase. The third site was for swingers and was primarily for people looking for likeminded people who wanted to engage in group sex and swapping.
Ally had been careful to select photos that never showed her full face. Josh understood her concerns and didn’t object. He understood and shared her concerns about being recognized. And besides, Josh knew that her face wasn’t one of the attributes that would be of greatest interest to most of the websites viewers. The photos Ally did select showed off her body spectacularly well and would draw plenty of attention, especially her fabulous tits.
“Your profile is going to get a lot of hits now,” enthused Josh. “Your photos are amazing. I haven’t seen one woman on these sites that comes even close to you!”
“Really, baby?” cooed Ally. “I’m so glad you think so!”
“All we have left to do are the videos,” continued Josh. “I’ll already selected a few, and I’ve had Dan edit them down. I told him to edit out portions of the videos that show your full face. I figured you’d want that.”
“Thank you!” replied Ally. You were reading my mind. By the way, speaking of Dan, there’s something else we need to talk about.”
“Oh, what’s that?” asked Josh, his curiosity obviously piqued.
“He want’s Lois to post her own profiles too,” replied Ally.
“Yeah, he mentioned that he was thinking about it when he was working on your videos,” replied Josh. “How does Lois feel about it?”
“She’ll do anything Dan asks her,” replied Ally. “Just as I will for you. But we were wondering if we could arrange a hookup for her and me together. To get the ball rolling, so to speak. What do you think? She’s going to ask Dan too.”
“Sure! That actually sounds like a really good idea,” enthused Josh. “Just the two of you, or all four of us?”
“I hadn’t thought about it,” replied Ally tentatively. “But how about BOTH!”
“I’m game if Dan is!” answered Josh with a smile just as the computer began pinging like a pinball machine.
“What’s THAT?” asked Ally, surprised as the computer continued to ping away.
“Your new profiles, photos and videos must have completed uploading to the websites,” said Josh. “You have new admirers!”
“New videos?” asked Ally, raising her eyebrow as she turned to look at Josh. “You haven’t shown those to me yet. You uploaded them already?”
“Ahhh ― YEAH!” replied Josh sheepishly. “I didn’t think you’d mind and―”
“Please don’t do that again, baby,” said Ally in a warm, but firm, voice. “I’m willing to do anything you want me to do. But I have to be able to trust you. And you said I would be able to look at the stuff we posted first. OK? I’m sure what you posted was fine, but still, I want to have a say in it. OK?”
“I’m sorry, baby,” apologized Josh. “It won’t happen again.”
“OK!” replied Ally reassuringly as she patted Josh’s thigh, pulling her chair closer. “Now let’s look at my fan mail!”

Monday Afternoon / Day 11
Lois surprised everyone at lunch with a Quiche Lorraine, made from scratch. The field green salad that accompanied it with a raspberry vinaigrette complemented it perfectly, as did more of the Alsatian Pinot Blanc that Lois had served previously.
Things seemed to be back to normal as the conversation flowed freely around the table. Whatever discomfort Sandy and Bree had been feeling seemed to have dissipated. After lunch, the two women and the boys were off to the pond to soak up some rays and do a bit of swimming. In addition, plenty of extracurricular activities were on the schedule at the pond as well.
Ally and Josh took a rain check on the water sports, saying they had work to do on their purchase of Daniel’s company. And strictly speaking that was true. They were waiting for a call back from their office and for any papers that would require Ally’s signature.
Their actual motive, however, had nothing to do with business. Once they had gotten into the messages from the swinging and hookup sites, particularly some of the older messages, Ally was forced to confront aspects of her relationship with her husband that she would have preferred to have remained buried with him.
Josh sat back patiently and let Ally spill her heart out as they went through the messages, one by one. She was surprised how understanding he was, given the content of some of the messages, especially those from individuals and groups she had hooked up with previously.
