Chapter Thirteen
Stive was getting ready to meet Ivy and Manglove in a sexual encounter lasting several hours. A room panel showing several indicators, thirty two in total, each of them indicating whether a particular person part of the Herbaline employee list was present in that room, was one of the favorite items for Stive. The head of human resource allocation at Herbaline checked the light panel showing the 'person present' status of each room at the language facility. One of the lights was off, that of the antisale room. Stive turned on the speaker phone to talk to Manglove, who was working in another office. "The status light is off, Ambi has left the antisale room," said Stive.
Manglove turned the surveillance screen to the antisale channel, and saw that the room was empty.
"I'll ask Bertha, she may be with Cartmel."
Cartmel bypassed all facility measures set up by Coley Manglove and Stive, leaving in his Mercedes with Clarity, Lanai and Ambi, for 'Honey Ranch', the Nevada Love Lady relational nudist board house, a place used as a testing ground for polyamorous relationships, engaging the collaboration of ladies and consensual arousal in groups of one, two, three or four women with one man. Cartmel was followed by Manglove, who drove a new Lexus after learning from Bertha that Cartmel was taking Ambi and the inducer with him to 'Honey Ranch'. After a few hours of driving north, they reached the Nevada border and the love lady ranch, welcomed by Rhona Binney, the person in charge of the place, a woman who showed similarities with Madame Tussaud, the woman in charge of the wax museum retail chain of museum shops, in that she rarely smiled and her face seemed frozen in a permanent smug expression.
After a short five minute conversation involving verification of credentials, carried out by Cartmel and Binney, Clarity watched the girls in the relational boarding house, all of them in their twenties, hired to please a single customer, hoping the wealthy customer, he or she, would become their lifetime partner. Each day, the ladies in the relational board house looked at the bulletin board showing the agenda of the day, and performed various duties, from gathering and washing their underwear by hand, to playing tennis and swimming naked with guests, to preparing a buffet brunch for the guests and also for themselves. Daily chores also included designing or studying some Herbaline course work, and managing the herbal product inventory in the warehouse area, which distributed all Herbaline products in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Malibu was kept out of the reach of Herbaline distributors by a local law, which prevented multi level companies from carrying out their marketing activity anywhere in the municipality.
Arousal was very present at 'Honey Ranch', and the ladies were kept in near permanent arousal, to please the guests. After a good breakfast, Rhona Binney called Clarity and Lanai for morning duties. Lanai was dressed in scanty white underwear, reaffirming her bum and the fabric which aroused her with every touch on her vulva. Her clitoris was noticing the attention of the fabric and the librarian became aware of the light brushing of the underwear on her love bud. Clarity watched her friend wearing white cotton underwear that was clearly damp in the area of her Venus mound. One of the ladies in the room reached for the underwear of Clarity and got her naked. She reached for one of the tokens present in a basket and gave it to the Malibu teleoperator. The token credited all incoming guests as unclothed-holiday adults, who could perform any activities which ranged from poolside bum tanning and cocktail straw sipping naked, bathed in sunshine. One of the ladies hired from the Aureolas clothing optional resort in Palm Springs carried out a full body massage on Clarity, grabbing her bum cheeks skillfully, till they showed no more sign of tension after one and half hours of touching it. Honey Ranch was a nudist resort, or had the front of a nudist resort for adults while it also carried out business duties for Herbaline.
The nudist token was also an admission pass, and confirmed that the guest satisfied a large group of relational qualities agreed by consensus of the ladies working there and by Coley Manglove who had the last word on all decisions. It was given out officially by invitation from the secretive low globe or hemisphere counsel group. Clarity kept saying no firmly to the proposal of Cartmel, refusing to engage in pleasant relational intercourse with him and two other 'Honey Ranch' ladies. Instead, she pressed her breasts on those of Lanai and showed herself naked in front of Rhona Binney, with Ambi and with Lanai, because she thought she was compatible with both, according to more than twenty eight indicators of her personal chart of emotion.
Clarity looked at Ambi, who was frolicking with several ladies naked on a large colorful towel set for midday picnic. Ambi had been in Honey Ranch before and Clarity could see that it was easy to become complacent at the ranch. Ambi was a sought-after relational contact for Manglove and Stive and Cartmel knew that. The sales instructor parlayed his training skill and role at Herbaline into receiving authorization to opt in for personal relationship pairing with Ambi. But the authorization was specific. Cartmel could be with Ambi and with other guests occasionally, but he was not the main male partner of Manglove, Stive was. Stive recorded and studied every aspect of personal relational arrangements between employees of Herbaline. Those relevant aspects were recorded by the relational eye of the company, a fuzzy logic computer program with an actual glass eye built by the lens company Eyemery Lens Sayban. The relational eye allocated personal and work-related sales pairings and fed its sentimental and professional output to the relational database that the company used to store the information on all of its employees, including with whom they flirted at the company. According to the relational eye, Clarity was compatible with Lanai and Ambi sexually and sentimentally. But Cartmel was not their ideal man to complete the four people Polyamory group.
