_____________________________________________________________________________________

Lexi knew something was wrong the moment she felt the world start to tilt to the side. She hadn't had enough to drink yet to be stumbling or off balance, and yet here she was but she couldn't care. This strange calm just took over her body and the alarm fluttered through her, here and gone again too quickly to help her. Her heart beat started to pound, her skin felt feverish and her vision went a little blurry. Lexi frowned slightly, not understanding why she suddenly felt extremely flushed and a giggle escaped her lips as she realized that her satin underwear suddenly felt really good.

"Rosi, I feel kind of weird." Lexi admitted, smiling at her best friend.

Ambrosia smiled back, brilliant and bright. "I know. It's alright sweety, I'm keeping an eye on you." she promised with a wink. Lexi blinked, wondering if her friend meant it to sound so... conspiritorial. She unclenched her jaw, not sure why she'd been grinding her teeth and smiled back, not even aware that she'd been worried just a moment ago. It didn't matter, this was her birthday!

And it was quite the birthday. The biggest social event of the season, all of Lexi's highschool friends were here, awkwardly trying to mingle with her higher class friends. Her mother's own social circle was here, peppering Lexi with compliments and a few thinly veiled innuendo if there weren't any witnesses to overhear. Even though she was only seventeen, she was acting and dressed like an experienced woman of twenty and they were responding to it.

Ambrosia kept Lexi's glass topped up, coming back constantly with the strong drinks and not letting anyone else play bartender to the birthday girl. Lexi appreciated it because she knew she could trust her best friend, Rosi wasn't even drinking herself just so Lexi could unwind!

So Lexi spent the first few hours of her party being pampered by her friends and family. For once her super busy father had taken the day off so he could celebrate her day. She didn't care about what gift he spent far too much money on, just having him there to sing happy birthday to her was the best gift ever. She felt a strange swell of euphoria when they all sang to her and all eyes were on her, but now, hours later, she was just glad that Rosi kept giving her drinks. She was tired and still feeling a vague sense of unease over her plans for the night.

The strangest thing was that she kept spotting Ambrosia talking to all the men Lexi flirted with. The birthday girl spun and twirled on the 'dance floor' and kept catching glimpses of Ambrosia talknig to and taking something from the mouthwateringly handsome Mr. Rivers. He was Lexi's old best friend's dad and had recently gone through a messy divorce. His wife had cheated on him and he retaliated by spending as much time as he could in a gym and it showed. Much to Lexi's delight.

"Hey lover, I think I found your man." Ambrosia whispered in Lexi's ear, making the younger woman giggle nervously. "Here, drink this, it'll help." Rosi instructed and put another drink into Lexi's hand.

The birthday girl swallowed the entire glass down, no longer coughing at the alcohol burn or the strange aftertaste her drink had. Ambrosia danced with Lexi a little longer, holding the girl up when her vision went blurry for a moment, and slowly leading her closer to Mr. Rivers. His daughter, Cathy was floating around somewhere else, most of the kids taking shameless advantage of the free alcohol and sneaking out back to use the pool. The adults knew the kids were 'skinny dipping' but as long as the underwear stayed on, they were content to let them have their fun.

Lexi smiled shyly at Mr. Rivers, pleased when she saw him check her out subtly. Finally she was glad that Ambrosia had made her dress this way, it would be so much easier to do this if he forgot she was the same age as his daughter. And now she wanted him. Just the thought of what it would feel like to be pressed against his hard body made her flush and she felt inexplicably sensuous. She talked with David Rivers for a while longer, not surprised when Ambrosia came by with drinks for both of them. Her best friend was always looking out for her it seemed.

"It's really loud in here. Do you want go sit and talk?" David asked her and Lexi smiled, nodding but trying not to look too eager.

They ended up walking upstairs because everywhere downstairs had people, music and witnesses. Only Ambrosia saw them slip up the staircase, and she sent her protege off with a wink. Lexi and David made it to the first landing before all pretense of talking fell away and he kissed her, pressing her against the wall gently.

(Here's the warning, after this it gets a bit graphic, I'll but in another one of these so you know it's safe again)

Lexi had gotten pretty far with the boys at school, but this was her first experience with a man. He knew what he wanted and he knew exactly how to get it. David's mouth left hers to bite at the exposed mounds of her breasts, hot and teasing. Lexi swallowed a moan as it felt like he was biting and sucking her entire body into his mouth. He pulled her hte rest of hte way up the stairs and took her into the first room they came across. It happened to be Lexi's bedroom thankfully, because David all but threw her on the bed. He climbed over top over her and attacked her mouth with his own, eager and almost bruising in his urgency.

He pushed hte hem of her short dress up and they both heard the unmistakable sound of tearing fabric when he tried to pull her panties off too quickly. Discarding the ruined thong, David pulled off his shirt, threw his pants off and was suddenly standing in front of Lexi entirely naked and completly turned on. She knew she should be nervous, that his roughness and her bruised lips were promising a not so gentle first time, but the effects of the drinks Ambrosia kept giving her chased the worry away and Lexi instead pulled at the zipper of her dress and threw the expensive gown aside. She lay on hte bed in a bra and corset, her lower body entirely exposed without the barely there thong.

David crawled over to Lexi and grabbed her shoulder, rolling her over onto her stomach. She felt his fingers pinch the clasp of her bra and then she was rolled back over with the corset covering her abdomen and pressing her breasts up so they were aggressively displayed. His teeth bit around a nipple, painful and exhilerating and Lexi cried out. David's hand dropped between her legs and he pressed a finger inside her roughly, thrusting the digit in and out, stroking her until she felt delirious. He spread her legs open wider and settled down between them. Lexi was about to caution him that she was a virgin but he thrust in deeply and she cried out in pain. David kissed her, but didn't stop thrusting, pumping himself into her body deep and rough. It hurt but at the same time Lexi felt impossibly good, the pain as addicting as the pleasure. When her body shuddered over the edge of her ecstasy, Lexi sobbed with the power of it and David thrust himself to finish as well.  He pulled out and wiped himself off with her torn panties, then walked out without a word.

(SAFE AGAIN)

Lexi stared after him in shock, not expecting the man who had just taken her virginity to simply walk away afterwards. Tears started to burn in her eyes and her great mood took a sudden plummet, leaving the birthday girl feeling anxious and depressed. She cried silently while she pulled her bra on and wiped the blood and fluids off of her body, then straightened her dress. Looking at the ghastly mess her weeping had made her makeup, Lexi wiped her face clear. Her palms were sweating and she still felt feverish and anxious. Almost running out of her bedroom, Lexi heard her best friend's voice and headed right towards it.

Opening the door to her father's study, Lexi saw Ambrosia and Lexi's dad doing pretty much the same thing Lexi and David had done a moment ago. Ambrosia was moaning in pleasure and Lexi's dad was grunting out his climax. And the worst part was that Ambrosia saw Lexi standing there in mute horror and smiled at her best friend.

"Oh yes Aubrey, like that yes!" Rosi encouraged. Lexi wanted to leave, she couldn't stand the sight of her loving, loyal father betraying her mother who was just downstairs! But Lexi couldn't move. She watched with tears streaming down her face as her best friend begged to be taken hard and Lex's father was more than willing to comply. It made Lexi want to throw up, she could see the truth of it now. Ambrosia was her fathers' 'assisstant'. Meaning mistress. Their friendship was a sham.

"How could you!" Lexi screeched and threw the first thing her hands grabbed at the pair in coitus. It was a book from the shelf and it slammed into the pair. Her father jerked away from Ambrosia and stared at his daughter in shame and shock.

Lexi ran from the room and back into her own, slamming the door shut. Moments later Ambrosia walked herself in and sat next to the crying Lexi. "Oh my sweetling. You honestly didn't know already?" she asked, not sounding the least bit contrite. "Even your mother knows. She has from the start. Why do you think she goes to all these parties?" Rosi asked, petting Lexi's hair. Lexi had thrown herself on her bed and was weeping, but she slapped Ambrosia's hands away.

"You're horrible. I hate you!" Lexi sobbed into her arms.

"Now that's no way to talk to me. I've helped make you who you are now. You were useless before, just like everybody else. I had to mould you into someone I could stand to be around. Now that you're finally tolerable, do you think I'll simply let you discard me? I don't think so."

"You don't think so?" Lexi demanded, sitting up to stare at the woman she now hated with a passion.

"Lexi, sweetling. You're stuck with me. You father loves having me whenever he wants me. It's a good paying job and the sex isn't all that bad. It's the price women like us pay. Get used to it." Rosi retorted with a sniff.

"Like us?" Lexi asked, voice soft.

"Yes baby girl. US. See, David Rivers paid me three thousand dollars to have you tonight. And he provided the ecstasy I've been slipping into your drink. You're no better than I am. Get used to it." Ambrosia patted Lexi one last time and walked out.

Lexi stared at the door and sobbed, feeling her world crumble around her as her heart shattered to pieces.

THe next day Lexi left her room like nothing had happened the night before. But when she went downstairs and saw Ambrosia calmly drinking coffee next to her father while her mother drank orange juice that reeked of vodka even across the room, Lexi's calm snapped.

She smiled sweetly at her family, walked to the hot water that was left for her own coffee and threw the boiling concoction in Ambrosia's face. After that the smile on Lexi's face was real while everyone else around her was screaming.
