CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS CLIM STYLE

The Polynesian Luau

late Sat afternoon-early evening

by Donna and Ev

It was almost time for the luau to start. The pig roasting in the pit smelled so good it was driving nearly everyone nuts. Everyone was having a wonderful time at the party, especially the girls!

Katherine had started her weekend off with a wonderful night with Michele, then had *breakfast* with Fitz, and an early afternoon romp with Mullard.

Connor's capture of Sarah Jo had started her weekend off in grand style. She had come back later that evening and taken Farmer Grey back to the cabin with her to spend the rest of the night with. Earlier in the day, she had cornered Jeremie and now he was wandering around with a very happy grin on his face.

Ev was smiling nonstop. She was having a great time! Her weekend started off with Peter, then she lured Beowulf up to spend the night with her and sometime after breakfast she had captured John Brennick.

Jathelle had a wonderful time the night before with John Clayton and then finished up the rest of the night with Jeremy. Then Saturday, earlier in the day, she had a marvelous time with Monroe.

Carol was practically purring. She started out Friday night with Lemieux and then played the rest of the night with Rayden. Saturday morning, her conquest was Fred.

But at the moment, none of them were with a man. The ladies had been hiding out in one of the rooms together in the castle for about an hour or so practicing something for the upcoming luau. When Gus and Jeremy brought the twins for Ev to nurse, they could hear a great amount of giggling going on. They were told thanks for bringing the babies up, but go away. The two CLims decided that the women were definitely up to something.

After the babies were fed and were given to Theron to watch, Ev told Rayden to have everyone go inside the house so he could prepare the yard for the luau. Once all the men except Rayden were inside, the ladies ran up to Sarah Jo's cabin to get ready themselves. They all exclaimed over the brilliant colors and patterns on the sarongs they were about to wear. Each of the women picked out a somewhat different pattern with different brightly colored flowers. Katherine showed them how to put them on and there was a lot of giggling as they talked about the reactions they would get from the guys. They help each other put on crowns of greenery and flowers as well as some bands of colorful blossoms around their wrists and ankles.

Rayden had an idea what the ladies were up to, but he wasn't telling. He grinned as he recreated a South Seas Island atmosphere in the back yard, complete with palm trees, brightly colored flowers, tropical birds and the ocean off in the distance. Once he was satisfied with it, he went inside to get the guys into the spirit of things with the male version of sarongs for each of them.

Some of the guys balked of course. The first couple of men who refused to change were tackled by about a dozen of the others and stripped without mercy. Their clothes were then merrily tossed out into the street, causing the rest of the party goers to get quickly changed into the *uniform of the day*.

Rayden grinned and ushered the guys back to the same door that had led to the patio before and handed them each a lei as they went through the door. He found their expressions amusing as they saw the scenery completely changed. He was really enjoying this.

The men were all told to take a seat on the sand with the rest of the men from the list they were on around a series of six low tables. Once they were all settled, the sound of drums started and a thick mist formed around a stand of trees. As the men watched, five forms came walking out of the mists. When the mists cleared enough for them to see clearly, a collective "ahh" came from the 30 men who were now staring open mouthed at the sight in front of them.

All five of the women were standing before them in colorful sarongs, that only covered from their hips partway down their legs. They were all topless. Jathelle's had white flowers and brilliant green leaves. Carol's had purple flowers, of course. Ev's had blue and purple. And each of them had their hair down, blowing gently in the breeze off the ocean. Sarah Jo wore a teal green and gold sarong over her hips and her long strawberry blonde hair was brushed over her breasts but the breeze was given the audience tantalizing glimpses of what lay beneath anyway. Katherine was wearing a burgundy and rose color sarong. Katherine was the only woman with short hair and thus her breasts were exposed for all to see.

The sound of the drums faded a bit and Rayden stood up, turned to the rest of the guys and made an announcement. "The ladies each want to do a dance for us and they will be handing out leis to each of us that they have...... gotten to know very well....." He smirked. "First, one of the birthday girls, Carol." He turned to grin at her then sat down with the rest.

The sound of the drums became louder again as Carol danced gracefully forward, her hips and belly seeming to do impossible things. As she danced, Jathelle took Carol's knowledge of Polynesian dancing and shared it with the rest of the ladies. The red headed immortal had an armful of leis and as she danced through the crowd of seated men, teasing them all with her sensual movements. She placed leis over Monroe, Mullard, Dani, Theron, Rayden, John Clayton, Lemeiux, and Fred. The eight lei receivers got a lot of good natured ribbing from all of the men that were sitting around them. But a hush fell over the crowd as the next dancer started to move towards them.

Ev danced forward, a big smile on her face as she teased and tantalized the guys with slow, seductive movements. A quick toss of her head revealed her milk swollen breasts briefly from time to time as she wove her way through the men and bestowed leis on her conquests. As she danced around the tables, she decorated Rayden, Connor, Monroe, John Clayton, Gus, John Brennick, Peter, Beowulf, and John Prudhomme.

The next October birthday girl started to dance. Sarah Jo made her way towards the assembled men, her hips swaying as her hands moved gracefully. Duende felt a stab of pride as he watched her. All those hours he had spent practicing with her on the dance floor were showing their fruit. Dancing among the men, she bestowed leis first on Duende and Dani, brushing their cheeks softly with the back of her hand. Then she deposited the rest of the leis on her arm around the necks of John Clayton, Fitz, Connor, Farmer Grey, and Jeremie. As she danced her way out to where the other two birthday girls waited, she turned and flipped her hair over her back, letting all the men see her charms. Loud whistles and shouts of appreciation followed that act.

Jathelle seemed to glow with the sunlight on her white hair. The slender goddess moved so gracefully and sensuously that she quickly seemed to have all the men in her spell. Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she danced among the guys and put leis on Theron, Connor, John Clayton, Jeremy, Monroe, Franck and Gus giving each one a kiss on the cheek as she passed.

Connor and John Clayton were both now getting a great deal of harassment and cat calls from the group of men as they now both sported leis from every one of the women. And everyone knew that the one woman left to dance was no stranger to either one of them.

But as the drums picked up again, a silence fell over all of them as they watched in awe as Katherine danced for them a Kahiko, an ancient hula as old as she was. As she told them a story with the graceful movements of her hips, legs and hands, the audience gave her their complete attention. Even though not one word was spoken, they all somehow managed to understand the meaning of the movements of the dance.

When the story ended, Katherine scooped up a pile of leis and started to make her way through the crowd. Some of the braver souls reached up and touched her gently rounded tummy as she passed by. By the time she had made her way around the tables, she had deposited leis around the necks of Connor, John Clayton, Paul, Rayden, Jeremy, Vincent, Michele, Fitz and Mullard.

Only two of the guys had leis from each of the women. Connor and John Clayton continued to get a lot of very loud teasing for being so popular with the ladies. It was also noticed that both Rayden and Monroe each had three leis and some of the guys started in on them. Before the teasing could get entirely out of hand, the sound of the drums rose in volume again and the ladies all came forward dancing all together. The dance that Carol had taught them was beautiful and extremely sensuous. All five women were very graceful, and talented to begin with and to have them all performing at the same time wearing almost nothing was causing a lot of the guys to have some very obvious reactions. By the time the dance was over, the ladies could have had their choice of any or all of them!

But none of them were going to get any immediate relief. After the entertainment, the luau began in earnest. As the ladies moved down to the tables, Rayden and some of the other men unearthed the Roasted Kalua Pig. They carried it carefully on a huge platter and set it on a serving table set off to the side. As the platter was put down, Rayden concentrated for a moment and the rest of the table was filled with the other dishes he had prepared for the luau. Besides the pork, there was also Teriyaki Beef Steak, Polynesian Sweet & Sour Chicken, Fresh Mahi Mahi In Lemon Butter, Island Style Fried Rice, Hawaiian Baked Sweet Potatoes, Poi, Fresh Island Papaya & Pineapple, Kula Greens With Koi Tomatoes, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Kim Chee Salad, Namasu Salad, Island Macaroni Salad, Fresh Baked Poi Rolls, and for desert...Coconut Cake, Chocolate Cake, and Haupia (a sweet and yummy coconut pudding).

An appreciative murmur spread through the crowd and a scattering of applause became a standing ovation as the wonderful scents reached the men. Rayden grinned and bowed and went to take his place at the table with Carol and the others on her list. Carol leaned into Rayden, sitting beside her. "You've really outdone yourself this time. Wow! You can cook for me any time!"

They got up, one table at a time and filled their plates to overflowing. Some of the food was strange to most of them, but nearly everyone tried a sample of it all. Ev smiled around the table as the guys were all digging into the luscious food. Beowulf, sitting on her right, seemed almost overwhelmed. "Do you eat like this often?"She giggled. "Heavens no! This is a special occasion. I think we have enough variety that there must be something for everybody. Dig in!"

As Katherine and the six men at her table sat back down after filling their plates, they couldn't help but tease her about needing to eat more than the little bit she had put on her plate. After all, she was eating for two! Kat was sitting down between Sal and Prudhomme and they were both tempting her with tidbits of food in between their own bites.

Jathelle was seated next to Henry Jones. He seemed more than a bit amazed. She giggled and fed him a piece of mahi-mahi. "My son is an excellent cook, don't you think?" She kept up a continuous, teasing flirt with him all during the meal, making the rest of the guys at the table chuckle.

Sarah Jo was having fun at her table too. Gus was teasing her royally about hiding her lovely assets behind all that hair of hers and that started a game of him and Vincent making sure her abundant waves of hair stayed behind her back at all times, despite her efforts to the contrary.

Ev saw what was happening at Sarah Jo's table and giggled. Before the guys at her table could get any ideas, she grinned and shrugged and swept her own hair back over her shoulders and away from the table. "I wouldn't want to deprive you guys." She giggled.

Katherine didn't have long hair to hide behind. Theron was sitting across from her at her table and he was having a very hard time taking his eyes off of her. She was fully aware of his interest of course, but she formed the word "tomorrow!" very clearly inside his head, smiling sweetly at him as she sent it. Jathelle couldn't help hearing Kat and seeing Theron's intense interest in her. She couldn't completely stifle the giggle that overwhelmed her. Then, taking a cue from Ev, she swept her hair back as well, and giggled again at Henry's reaction. When Henry had finished eating, Jathelle took his hand and whispered in his ear. His look of surprise and delight was almost comical. She led him away from the table and they walked along the beach for a while before slipping into one of the huts.

As the pleasant sounds of island music played in the background, everyone ate until they could hardly move. After awhile, Sarah Jo took Vincent by the hand, and grinning broadly at the others, she led him towards the row of tiny beach huts along the beach that were silhouetted by the setting sun.

Ev and Duende fell into a conversation about dance. Once they had finished eating, she took his hand and led him down the beach to a clear area where they began to dance, getting gradually closer and closer as they continued. When she felt she had teased him enough, she led him to one of the huts, grinning.

Katherine had somehow ended up in Sal's lap during all this and he was whispering little terms of endearment in Italian into her ear. So it was no big surprise to the others seated around them when she jumped up and drug him to his feet. Connor couldn't help harassing him with loud Italian jeers and playful insults as he was being led away. Sal just grinned and shouted a few insults right back at him.

Carol kept finding ways to catch Indy's eye, which wasn't too difficult. By the end of the meal, she was feeding him, with her back to Rayden. Rayden couldn't help himself. He picked up bits of parsley and wove them into her hair, setting the rest of the guys to chuckling. Once Carol got up, leading Indy away, they all started laughing.

The rest of the guys continued to joke and laugh with each other as the sun dipped down over the horizon, causing the ocean to glow like it was on fire. Whether the light was coming from the setting sun or from all the fun that was going on within the five huts in the distance was hotly debated by all.
