A Halloween to Remember

Cheryl was drawing quite a few stares herself. She hadn't been at school long enough to have met many people—she only transferred in a few months ago—but her self-possessed confidence and uncomplicated beauty blended in well. I was very happy to be with her.

We mingled, ate some of the deliciously spicy food, sampled the green punch, and danced. It was like being in the circus, or performing on stage. What a bacchanal! We danced to one of the few slow numbers, our bodies grinding together eagerly. We kissed. I remembered my fingers inside her panties earlier in the evening.

Over the course of the last hour or two we encountered a few friends. Melanie, who was also in Cheryl's archery club, was an exotic West Indies girl with a wide mouth and a quirky sense of humor. She had a very open-minded approach to life and was completely unselfconscious. She could often be found doing homework on her laptop, sunbathing in the nude. Her eye-catching thatch of kinky, black pubic hair lent her slender, athletic body a brazenly erotic touch.

Claire and Melissa, a couple who belonged to the sorority that threw the party, were drama aficionados and had come as Oberon and Titania, their Shakespearean royalty an exception to the unofficial theme. Both were conspicuously bare-breasted, and Oberon had an imposingly large rubber phallus extending lewdly from her loose pants. I could only imagine what they would be getting up to later, after the party.

It was getting warm inside, so our little group decided to visit the grounds behind the house. Cheryl was still carrying her bow. The rear of the house opened out onto impressive, almost formal gardens. There were shallow pools and partially enclosed arbors, some of which offered tantalizing glimpses of naked couples taking erotic advantage of the shadowy darkness. Tiny lights decorated many of the small trees interspersed throughout the backyard. Somebody had put an astonishing amount of effort into the landscaping: it was truly an enchanted fairy land. The garden sprawled for some distance until it met the woods that bordered the property.
