The corner of Max’s mouth curled slightly in a hint of a smile. “Not exactly.” He threaded his fingers together atop the table, fixing her with a sober, if not stern, glare. “This place is built around self-sufficiency and discipline. The ethos of the people who live here, it’s very… traditional. Some would call it patriarchal.”

She grunted, trying to affect nonchalance, while inside she felt anything but at the idea. “What is this? Fucking caveman shit, or what?” She wasn’t sure why she had that reaction to the idea, other than the fact that she’d been told since her very earliest memories that anything with the word patriarchy in it, even by oblique association, was by definition evil, bad, and to be made fun of at every opportunity.

Max shook his head slowly. “I want you to keep your mouth shut for the next few minutes. Any more smartass comments, and you’re going to find that you’re not going to like what happens to you. Am I making myself clear?”

Her pussy clenched—hard—at the words. “Yeah, yeah… sorry about that.” She took a deep breath, knowing she was probably taking a risk by doing this. “Hey, Uncle Max, are we just going to forget about what happened? Are we gonna talk about it at all?”

“First, you’re going to hear what I have to say,” he growled, his eyes narrowing as he looked upon her. “Then and only then, we might talk about what happened before. But that depends upon you.”

“Depends on me?” She wasn’t sure where he was going here, but she had to admit his stern, uncompromising manner was… doing things to her downstairs.

“It depends upon your reaction to what I’m about to tell you. If you’ll keep your mouth shut for me long enough to tell you.”

Her cheeks burned hot at that, but she gave him a little nod, an acknowledgment that she couldn’t argue with what he’d just said. She was being kind of a bitch.

“While you’re here, you have to follow the rules of this community. As soon as you cross through that gate up there on the highway, you found yourself on private property—sovereign property. And anyone here has to follow the rules of this place, or they get politely asked to not be on this property.” He cleared his throat, continuing. “The most important rule they have here, and the one I suspect you’re not going to like at all, is that women are not allowed outside, or off of their own property, without being in the company of their man.”

She could feel her mouth actually dropping open, so profound was her shock at what he’d just said. But she managed to keep her protests to herself.

Maybe he’s just fucking with you?

“Women are restricted in other ways, too. They are generally regarded as possessions, or at best second-class citizens. The whole area of Foster Canyon Ranches is the size of a small county, and even law enforcement looks the other way at some of the things that happen here.”

Her voice was high, reedy as she asked it. “What things?” She wasn’t even sure if she wanted to know the answer, but for some reason her cunt was soaking wet just listening to him talk.

While it was possible that simply Max’s deep voice had that effect upon her, she wasn’t going to try to lie to herself. It was more than the sound of what he was saying; it was what his words meant.

“Well, for instance, public nudity—but women only—is sometimes seen around here. And sometimes they are… more than nude.”

More than nude? What the fuck does that mean?

Max continued, “Women are freely enjoyed, used, and shared among the residents of the area. The women are essentially commodities, valued for their bodies, and the pleasure they can give. So, do you still think you have any idea about what you’ve just gotten yourself into?”

Stunned, she sat frozen in place in her chair staring at Max, part of her wondering if he was still just trying to pull off an elaborate ruse, if he was just messing with her. But his eyes said something else entirely.

That he was stone cold serious about this.

“I… don’t even know what to say. Is this… something my dad knows about?”

“Mitchell knows enough about this place to know that this is no place for a girl like you. But he seemed to think that as long as you’re with me, you’d be fine.”

“Was he wrong?” She wasn’t sure why she said it, other than to try to gauge what it was he was trying to do here. This was so shocking as to be almost dreamlike. Despite all that though, her nipples were aching bullets under her dress, her pussy now so hot and wet she was afraid she’d leave a wet spot upon the fabric of his seat.

“I told you all of this so that you know that coming here was a bad idea. I was just about to schedule you a flight back home. But I thought you should at least know what you’ve gotten yourself into… if you make the seriously poor decision to stay.”

She opened the bottle of water and took a deep drink of it, grateful for the cold wetness upon her parched tongue. “What happens if I do stay?”

Max tilted his head, regarding her for a moment. Then he spoke, his words measured, but clear. “I keep you away from the more intense and esoteric parts of this place, but you would live by their ethos while on this property. No exceptions.”

A surge of moisture and pleasure earthed deep in her pussy at his words. “Oh… okay. And then?”

“Then I’m going to give you your first inspection.”

“My… my what?” She swallowed hard at that, not really knowing what he meant, but judging by the glint in his eyes knowing it was going to be something very sexual.

And where’s the bad part?

“I’m serious, Kelsey. This isn’t the place for you. I can get you on a plane probably tonight, if you give the word. I’m not going to make you stay here. I’ll tell your dad that it wasn’t going to work out. I’ll make something up.”
