Amber drank a big swallow from the beer bottle. Her hair was tied back in a pony tail, the humidity doing its damage. She sized up the family that she was joining--her wedding to Ricky was in less than a year. It was a setting she was used to: too much alcohol, not enough clothes, lots of tattoos, bravado and posturing. There was a pecking order amongst the couples--the men and the women, and she wasn't sure if there wasn't some intermarriage "hanky panky" she was still sizing that up.
She had met a few of them, but it was the first time that all six siblings and their spouses had gotten together. The parents were not present at the BBQ in this isolated park in upstate NY. In fact, the whole park was pretty empty for some reason on this hot summer day. Amber was lightly buzzed--her favorite state of being. Her pussy was a little sore, she and Ricky had been having marathon sex for some reason the past few weeks and while she was enjoying it, her twat was suffering a bit.
She was young to be getting married, only 23, but she wasn't the youngest in the group. That honor belonged to Dakota, so far Amber's favorite member of Ricky's family. Amber's mind drifted, trying to track all of the members of the family and assess the "pecking order" that seemed to exist. It was just the adults, no kids were invited to tonight's festivities and Amber was not sure about why, although she had heard that not all of the kids got along--in fact that she had heard that Lacie, Ricky's oldest sibling at the age of 34 and her husband Karl almost didn't come because their oldest daughter, who was all of 16 had gotten into a fistfight with Ricky's brother Tommy's oldest daughter who was 15. It sounded like the two had really gone to town on one another and that the younger girl had actually beaten the older girl in the end, though there continued to be some debate amongst the family members, especially between Lacie and Randi, Tommy's wife.
Amber was broken from her reverie as she stared at the beautiful waterfall that filled the shallow pool of water at the edge of the grass where the family was having their barbecue. Dakota, the 21 year old youngest member of the family had walked up to her. "Want to cool off in the pool a little?" she asked Amber.
"Sounds nice..." Amber smiled the two busty women slowly walked towards the water's edge. "Can you run everyone down for me again, in order?"
"Age or pecking?" Dakota smirked.
Amber raised her eyebrows. She had noticed it, but Ricky had never said anything. "Why don't you start with age. Is pecking different? "
Dakota snorted and laughed out loud. "Fuck yeah. Let's do this." She really liked Amber too, and they had become pretty good friends over the time that Ricky and Amber had been dating.
"Okay, so you know how this goes for the most part," Dakota began:
"Lacie is oldest, married to Karl. Tommy is second, married to Randi. Then comes Savannah and her husband Paul and Josie and her husband Hank. Then comes Alex and his wife Char or Charlene. Then comes Ricky and you, and then me and John. That's all 14 by age."
"And...pecking order?" Amber asked...
Dakota smiled, "Well, Savannah is the queen bee, though she and Char have been going at it a lot lately. Char beat Savannah up pretty badly once, but Savannah has put her in her place lately. So it goes Savannah and Char, but Char and Josie got into a few times lately and Josie has held her own a few times. So it goes Savannah, Char, Josie, then...well then me, then Lacie and then Randi."
Amber nodded. "The men?"
"The men is a little different. Not as clear as the women. The men defer to age a bit more and it pretty much goes in age order. "
Amber nodded. "I'm gonna end up in a fight at some point."
Dakota looked at her and her face got serious...."Yep. Tonight."
Amber took another drink of beer.
