Hotel de Ville, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, & Jasmine

The table is located off to stage right, and at a nearly perfect angle and distance for viewing the stage. This eight person table would normally be a prime spot, but such is the buzz about the Princess that only one other couple has opted to join them at the table. The gentleman rises to introduce himself and his wife as Jacques and Millicent LeCroix and bows low to the Reichsfurst and shakes hands with Domashi and nods to Jasmine.

Domashi pulls out the chair for Lany first, and tucks her in. And then does the same for Jasmine, selfishly placing himself in between them. He greets Millicent with an approving smile before sitting himself. Lany gives a polite nod to their dining companions before saying, ”Danke.” to her consort for helping her sit.

Almost immediately, waitstaff appear out of nowhere, bringing food and drinks to the tables; much to the approval.of the Reichsfurst. Two very good comedians provide some entertainment while the food is being served and they receive several rounds of generous applause when they leave the stage. Some kind words are said by the Minister who had been a bit handsy with Lany and he even pokes a bit of fun at himself for how he contributed an extra bit to the cause and raises a toast to the Reichsfurst, apologising once again, in public, for his behavior. Lany does her best not to shrink into her seat from all the attention she is attracting. Maybe she just should’ve followed her instincts and broke the Minister’s nose. It probably would have drawn less notice…

The Minister ends his speech by introducing a man who needs no introduction. Maitre Armond. As the lights in the room go down, the Minister blows a kiss at Lany and disappears in a cloud of smoke, only to have Armond emerge from the cloud and bow to the appreciative audience. As he begins a series of magic tricks, it is apparent that he is a very polished showman. Sure people know that magic exists, but Armond adds an entertainment factor to the show that pleases people. There are some errors that are cleverly added to the show and the crowd laughs when a trick does not work, sympathetic to the fact that some magic is unpredictable. Domashi takes the time to assense the man while he is on stage and determines that the man is healthy, certainly awakened, and completely without implants of any kind. Additionally, Armond’s magic level seems to be lower than Domashi’s own.

Domashi leans up against Lany as he lowers his head to whisper to her. ”Are you enjoying the show, Your Grace?”

Lany gives her husband a little smile. ”His show isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. But this is theatre. What do you make of his talents?”

Whatever Domashi was about to say is interrupted for a moment as he feels Jasmine’s hand begin to softly stroke his cock through his trousers under cover of the darkness and the edge of the tablecloth. She says nothing, though, and he recovers quickly.

Domashi lets out a little cough before answering Lany. ”So far, he is displaying everything we were told. Nothing of any real note….” He lets out a little sigh. ”There are ways to hide those things, though. If that is what he is doing, I won’t be able to tell just yet. Excuse me, please.” Domashi then calmly leans over to Jasmine and pushes her hair away from her ear so that he can whisper softly to her. ”You do not have to do this. I really want to give you a few days to consider your options without any reservations…. That being said… If you happen to be ready…. Don’t fucking stop because that feels too damn good.” He moans into her ear softly, as he pulls away to not draw too much attention to her.

Domashi can see Jasmine’s smile in the near darkness and he clearly notes that her hand does not miss a stroke during his little speech to her. Her voice is low. ”Let’s just say I am a fast thinker.”

Wondering what Domashi and Jasmine were whispering about, Lany notices her lover’s breathing change, becoming more ragged. She sees that Jasmine’s right hand is nowhere in sight. Her keen ears then detect the muffled sound of a zipper being undone, and Lany just shakes her head. ”You seem to be enjoying yourself.” She casually remarks.

”I’d have to be dead to not do so…” Domashi pants a little bit. ”If you wish extra attention tonight, Erica, the driver, is enthusiastically interested.”

”She certainly sounded like she was. Was the kiss promising?” Lany can scarcely believe the words coming out of her mouth. Is she really entertaining the notion of bringing the driver back to her flat for a shag?

Domashi leans into Lany again and whispers to her. ”Quite promising. Not home-wrecking promising, but still promising. After we drop Jasmine off at the suites, we can use the limo that Erica so kindly offered. And if you want some one on one time with her, I am very much okay with that.”

At this time, Domashi feels cool air on his cock as Jasmine frees it from his trousers and underwear. He can hear her purr a bit as he is talking to Lany about the driver and the feel of a soft hand wrapping around his growing erection.

Intrigued by her growing arousal, Lany decides to admit that fate had made this a day of bold actions. ”That may not be such a bad idea. She was quite a bonnie lass.”

”Shit!” Domashi hisses. ”Sorry, Your Grace. This maid of yours is very talented. We might have to work on improving her interests towards more mixed company.”

”Didn’t take me long.” Lany responds with a chuckle.

Armond finishes a particularly nice trick and has the house lights turn up just a bit. Jasmine chuckles a bit but does not stop her gentle strokes. Armond announces that for his next display of magic, he will need the first of several volunteers from the audience. He looks directly at Lany and motions for her to come on stage.

Immediately regretting her previous thought about boldness, Lany quickly comes to a realization. ”What does it bloody matter, everybody is already fuckin staring.” Lany gives a reluctant nod in agreement and makes her way up to the stage, preparing herself to size up Armond up close.

As Lany climbs the few steps to the stage, the lights go down again. For a few moments all eyes are on the beautiful woman now on stage and Armond. He takes some time describing what the magic is and what Lany’s role will be. Just at that point, Domashi feels a warm mouth slip over the head of his raging erection, causing him to moan a bit. Jasmine apparently has a talented mouth and tongue and begins to prove that to Domashi. She alternates sucking his cock into her mouth with kisses and licks up and down the length of it. His hands involuntarily grab at the tablecloth as she continues to work him.

On stage, Armond is careful to explain exactly what will happen and how the audience will be amazed anyway. He summons a minor Spirit of Man to assist in the magic and Lany can feel…….something……..happening.

Domashi is stunned with the thought that he can’t actually allow himself to fully enjoy Jasmine’s terrific ministrations. He has to try and focus on Lany, and Armond, and watch what they are doing on the Mana Sphere. Times like this, he wishes he followed a tradition that called forth more conventional spirits.

Domashi might not be able to completely enjoy what Jasmine is doing, but enough pleasure gets through that he finds himself approaching the point at which an orgasm is imminent, but he just cannot quite reach that point. Suddenly, there is a soft voice in his ear and a hand on his arm. ”Does she need a bit of help, do you think?” Looking to his side, Domashi can make out the form of Millicent, the wife half of their tablemates. Even though a bit older, he had noted that she still was quite attractive. ”I would be most willing to see if I could help.”

Caught in between worlds, and in between desires, Domashi can’t even bring himself to care if the husband is around, or even notices. ”If you could do so without insulting her, I would be most appreciative. Alternatively, if you could sit here awhile, and let me enjoy your beauty, that might be enough.”

The woman gives a soft laugh. ”Oh no, dear. Just sitting about is not what I had in mind at all.” She lifts the table cloth a bit and slides under the table. A quick look shows Domashi that the elderly husband has apparently fallen asleep and is oblivious to everything, including his wife leaving his side. Domashi hears a few soft words spoken from under the table but cannot them out, but he does know when he feels two tongues on his cock at once and when two sets of lips slide up and down his stiff shaft, sending tremors of pleasure to his brain that even he cannot ignore.

The sensation of two women servicing him at the same time is nothing new to Domashi. In fact, he has had up to three women at once try. But something about these two ladies, working together, with the husband of one of them asleep across the table… Just feels so terribly good. No matter how much he tries to keep calm and collected, under the table his hard erection is jumping and twitching all it’s own. He can hear occasional light giggles from under the table, and for the life of him he thinks they are not coming from Jasmine. The pair of women address him with more focus and determination, and the elusive orgasm from minutes ago is well on its way. Not wishing to cry out, the only thing that occurs to him is to reach under the table and gently tap the women on their heads a couple of times, and to hope that is clear enough.

In response to his tap, a pair of lips wraps about his throbbing erection and he feels a sucking on his cock that seems to pull his cum from his toes. The first blast goes into a mouth, followed by a slight gasp and then the mouth pulls off just as his second jet exits, splashing out to hit a face before a second mouth closes on him to receive the next couple of blasts. When he is done, two sets of lips clean him up and two sets of soft hands tuck his deflated cock back into his pants. The women rise from under the table one at a time, with Millicent first. She kisses Domashi and thanks him for the opportunity. ”You see how excited my husband can get. Thank you and your woman for that. You taste very good, by the way.” She leans over to kiss Domashi’s cheek and he feels her slip something into his pocket. ”Call me Millie and use the ‘link I just gave you to contact me. I would love to see you again.”

Millie returns to sit next to her husband as Jasmine crawls up to sit next to him. ”Well, I did not expect that. Was it OK for you?” Domashi nods enthusiastically, and kisses Jasmine for more than a few moments, forgetting what he was supposed to be doing. ”That was more than okay. You were fantastic. And the way you kindly let Millicent join in is a wonderful gesture as well.”

Jasmine nods. ”Frag. She seems very nice. She showed me a couple of things that I had not tried in the past. I will try them on you again next time. I am, of course, implying that there will be a next time for the two of us…………” Her voice falls off but it had had a soft tone of an unspoken question. Domashi pulls Jasmine close to him and leans into her to whisper into her ear. ”Nothing has changed the way I feel about you. I have no desire for any of this to be a one time thing with you. Should that be your wish, however, I still want you in my life. You are a treasure Jasmine. A woman that is both fantastic with sex, and at the same time worth so much more than that too. Just be in my life, and I can be happy.” Jasmine nods and he can see that the smile on her face is clearly reflected in her eyes. She squeezes his hand and she leans in closer. ”Christine is right; you are quite a man, Dominik. I can actually see myself spending years with you. Thank you.”

Up on stage, Lany is watching the illusion happen around her and still cannot see what is being done. She notices the gasps from the crowd and can feel the excitement build within her. Armond really is a proficient showman and matches his act to the audience, bringing out emotions that are all the more strange because they already know it is magic. Lany stands rooted in the spot, wondering just what the hell was going on.

At the end of the trick, Armond has his lovely assistant take a bow to a great applause. He thanks Lany and has the lights come up just enough to let her get safely down the steps and back to her table.

Giving Jasmine a knowing wink as she returns to the table, Lany looks over to Domashi and asks, ”So what was the trick? I couldn’t see anything up there.”

Jasmine waves her hand. ”I am afraid I really didn’t understand that much of it myself. My angle did not really give me a very good look. A bit over my head, I guess.”

Domashi has to choke down a laugh, and tries to hide it behind a big smile. ”I’m sorry, I was trying my best to keep our table companions entertained. I barely saw anything.” He does wink to Lany in an attempt to show he is playing around with her.

Lany feigns frustration. ”Fine then, leave me lost on the matter.” She fails, however, to conceal the grin that follows her remark. ”Was probably glowin in the dark up there.” She finishes in a whisper.

”Well, Your Grace, your drones might have picked it up, if it wasn’t a ‘soft’ spell. Allow me to pull up their footage, and show you.” Domashi pulls out his comm, and links to the three Redlight drones that have been following Lany the whole night. ”Here.” He hands his comm to Lany. ”This is from when you start to go on stage.”

”Danke.” Lany says with a nod, ”May I?” She asks, gesturing to the concealed datajack below her ear. Domashi nods in acceptance and gestures to her to hand the link back so he can have it invite her for three MARKs. Pulling up the image in her AR display, Lany opens the recording of her thus far and locates the section of her onstage. She sees herself standing stage right to Armond, indeed glowing like a blue chandelier as the lights in the hall dropped.

Armond walks about the stage, waving his arms and calling out mystic words and smoke starts flowing up around Lany, coming in from all parts of the stage. Within a couple of minutes, only her head remained visible above a layer of thick fog-like smoke. A gust of wind moves across the stage, swirling the fog about and moving it away from Lany, exposing her as a headless body. There is a collective gasp from the crowd and even Lany, who knows she was there, has a hard time believing she was……well, except for her head, of course, which turns back and forth as it scans the crowded hall. When the last of the smoke clears the stage, the crowd gasps again, because all of Lany’s missing body parts are lying on the stage beneath her head.

A bit of eerie music presages the arrival of a rotund spirit who wanders in from off stage right and begins dancing about the bodiless head. It picks up her arms and begins to juggle them then sticks them onto where the body would be if there was a torso. The arms flap about a bit then fall to the stage. The spirit tries the shins next only to have them fall off as well. Over the next few minutes, the spirit tries several quite comical combinations of body parts, all of them wrong. Finally, the spirit seems to give up and walks off, leaving the head floating about. A second spirit makes an appearance from the opposite wing of the stage, this one a knight in shining armor. It makes a show of carefully approaching the suspended head, motioning with a hand to its helmeted face for the head to not speak. It puts the sword in its sheath and begins putting the body back together in the correct sequence………mostly. It gets the right and left hands mixed up for a bit, and looks to the crowd to help him. When he is finished, the spirit knight opens his helmet to reveal the face of Armond. The spirit smiles at the now whole Lany and they begin moving off the stage together as the fog returns, concealing them.

Armond waves his hands and the fog disappears and Lany is clearly visible…..and intact. The crowd gives them both an ovation as Armond motions to Lany and thanks her for being a good sport. At that point the lights come up and Lany can be seen walking down the steps from the stage.

Feeling more than a bit amazed at all that went on, Lany looks over to Domashi with her eyebrows raised, ”I believe I may have underestimated Armond’s abilities as a performer. That was… impressive, to say the least. What did you think?” She asks her consort.

”I think performance Magic does not require much power. In that regard, it is very easy. On the other hand, it takes a lot of skill and imagination to impress high ranking nobles from out of country.” Domashi nods a little absently. ”I wonder if he has someone else write his material?”

”Most like. But he puts it on well.” Lany reasons with a shrug. It was almost a shame they would be working to put his show days to an end, almost. ”Now all that we need to do is wait and lure him. I’m sure he won’t pass up the opportunity to be seen with the talk of the gala.” She states confidently.

The remainder of the performance is just as interesting and everyone seems to have a good time. Eventually the house lights come up all the way and the crowd lets Armond know how good he was. He disappears off backstage and the waitstaff brings out the dessert trays. At some point towards the end of the performance, the couple sharing their table had bid Lany good evening, the husband gushing about what a tremendous performance it had been. A look was shared between the wife, Jasmine, and Domashi, but nothing is said.

Fifteen minutes after he left the stage, Armond comes out to work the crowd. It seems he is as handy at this as he is at the spellcraft he practices. Domashi notes that there is very little evidence that Margot’s contact had been correct, as Armond certainly spends an inordinate amount of time schmoozing the men in the crowd and very little on the women.

Eventually, he finds himself at Lany’s table and claps his hands to see her. ”Your Grace! I want to thank you again for your assistance tonight. You were marvelous. One would think that you had some formal training.”

Putting on a delighted smile, Lany responds steadily. ”You are most welcome, Maitre’, but do not let my father hear the remark. He would be absolutely horrified to know his liebling was made such a spectacle of, on stage no less.”

Armond waves his arms about. ”Bah! Such considerations are from a bygone age, a different time and place. You were great.” He does lean forward just a bit and puts his finger alongside his nose. ”But then, you know him better than I and I will keep it our secret should I ever have cause to visit Bavaria.”

Lany pretends to swoon a bit at the notion of Armond visiting her demesne, ”We will keep it between us.” she responds with a wink. ”But I have taken leave of myself, allow me to introduce my Consort, Dominik Ripnu, and my Lady in Waiting, Rose Schlatterweinst. We came a long way for this performance. My dear Dominik has spoken very highly of you.”

Armond has taken up Jasmine’s hand and puts it to his lips as he greets her, but he spends a bit longer with Domashi’s hand. ”A good grip, Mister Ripnu, or may I call you Dominik?”

Domashi tries to imagine that he is actually talking to Lany right now as he smiles to Armond. ”Of course you may call me Dominik. I was very impressed with your performance tonight.” He has not pulled his hand back from Armond. ”Everyone always raves about your shows, and I had to do everything in my power to convince the Reichsfurst to come and see at least one. I am hoping we will get to view more, some time in the future.”

Armond clearly does not wish to let go of Domashi’s hand, but does so when the contact goes on far too long. ”I am afraid that I have no further bookings of this magnitude for some time to come. Some smaller, less important shows, though, of course. But I so enjoy playing to crowds…..it makes me feel so alive.”

Domashi continues to look into the eyes of the taller, gruffer sounding, imaginary Lany in front of him while he leans over to the real Lany and speaks to her. ”What do you say, Your Grace? Do you not have a family affair to attend to soon? If Maitre’ Armond would promise to not make a spectacle of you again, would he not be a wonderful main act?” Now he imagines Lany when he was ravishing her in the limo as he looks at, no through, Armond.

Lany can see Armond lick his lips as the wheels turn in his brain. An opportunity like this comes along only once in awhile and the man is obviously interested. “A family event, Your Grace? I would be very interested in such a chance. Do you have time to discuss such a thing in a more private location?”

Adopting a look of veiled excitement, Lany turns to Domashi and smiles before replying, ”But of course, Maitre’. Now that the show has concluded, me and my entourage’s interests at this gala are nearing their end. And speaking on this further with you would be a wunderbar conclusion, indeed. Dominik, Rose; shall we?” She asks her companions.

Hotel de Ville, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, & Jasmine

Domashi has the three MCT Redlight Pro drones up and running for Lany when the driver opens the door for her. As he instructed her, she waits for the drones to leave first and set up at their self determined ranges and angles to capture her grand entrance to the gala. He then gives Jasmine another look over with raised eyebrows, giving her another chance to back out if she didn’t feel up to it. Jasmine smiles to him and nods as she exits the limo just behind her princess. With just a small pause to thank whoever, or whatever, has blessed him with such luck, Domashi then follows the two hotties in stepping out of the limo.

It takes just a few nanoseconds to see that Lany is already a few feet from the limo playing to her role perfectly as she soaks up any and all attention given her while acting like she only gives those with her a brief thought, if any. Jasmine has fallen into step behind her and appears to be enjoying herself quite a bit. That leaves Domashi with a semi private moment with the very tantalizing driver. ”If you happen to have a change of clothes in the car, feel free to look for me inside. Just know I won’t really have the opportunity to pay you much attention. Otherwise, feel free to relax. You have earned it.” He smiles to her before taking out his comm and continuing. ”If you will give me a code to contact you with, I will let you know a few minutes before we leave to give you plenty of time.”

The pretty young woman places a hand at Domashi’s chest and strokes it near the pocket she had slipped the card into. ”You already have my code, Mister Ripnu. Feel free to use it at any time. I am currently between serious companions and could be available for just about any sort of special event.” Her hand remains against his in a slightly suggestive manner before she smiles and withdraws it.

Domashi has to struggle to keep from kissing the woman he now suspects is Erica. His smile to her widens before he says to her. ”Then I take it you are Erica? I do apologize, I should have been more perceptive earlier. Do you have any regular days off? Or is your schedule always flexible?”

She shrugs her pretty shoulders. Even in the chauffeur’s uniform she exudes a certain sex appeal. ”I pretty much set my own time and hours. I actually have a fairly extensive client list, but this was my last gig for a couple of weeks. I was planning on some long soaks in a hot tub and reading various books while on a well-deserved vacation. I think that you would find me quite flexible.”

Erica’s last statement draws his eyes to her waist before he can even think to stop himself. Domashi licks his lips as he looks back into her eyes. ”Do not let me leave your company tonight without talking with you a little more. I would not dare to interrupt your well-deserved vacation, but I think I might be able to offer you some entertaining evenings to help you relax some.” Out of reflex, Domashi winks to her before he prepares to join his companions and partners.

Erica nods. ”I am sure you can be very entertaining. And what are vacations for if not to experience new things and, like I said, I am currently between relationships and could use some entertainment.” She leans forward and puts her lips to his ear. ”My flat has a tub big enough to hold two, or perhaps four, people quite comfortably.” Her tongue slips out and licks the underside of Domashi’s ear as her hand gently strokes his growing erection a couple of times before she pulls away and stands aside and points to a parking lot full of similar limos. ”I will be waiting in the car park just over there. Do let me know when you are ready to come.”

More than a little bit of Domashi is ready right now. He struggles to remember just why he is here in the first place, and then the thought of Lany and Jasmine pulls him back to reality. ”Of course, Erica. I do plan on being a couple of hours, so please relax and enjoy the time as best you can. I look forward to this event being over, though.” With another genuine smile to her, he turns and leaves before she really has a chance to distract him away from his duties to his wife, and his friend.

Arriving as late as they have has allowed them to escape most of the media attention, but there are a couple of vidnews drones holding station at the gala entrance. Lany looks delectable and the drones hovering about her should certainly bring her some attention. Jasmine is looking closely at Domashi as he saunters up to them, her eyes flicking to his waist. ”Making some extra time with the driver, I see. She is quite pretty. So, do you have a thing for girls in uniform or just girls in general?”

Jasmine’s question causes a sincere chuckle to rise from Domashi’s chest. ”Just in general. She does look good in that uniform though. Even still, she can’t compare to you tonight.” Even though he meant every word, Domashi realises quite suddenly that she might not take it as well as he meant it.

Jasmine smiles brightly at the compliment and winks as she turns to join Lany. ”And how would you know if you have not sampled her, Dominik? So what is our play here? Do I walk behind and to the left or at the side of the princess or what?”

Internally, Domashi is greatly relieved as Jasmine takes his wandering interest in stride. ”I would say behind and to the left. We are trying to present her as very high station, and I did not have the foresight to get a dress to show you at a higher station, unfortunately. It is a pity too, as you certainly have the grace and the bearing to pull it off. Maybe next week?” He says with humor, but also with the sincerest desire to buy her a very nice dress too.

Jasmine laughs. ”You have another of these gala’s on for next week? My, you do get around. I did not know that you could afford thousand nuyen dinners that often.” She reaches into her purse and takes out her invitation, handing it to Domashi.

The walk up the long stairs is covered in a red carpet. Lany takes Domashi’s arm and Jasmine falls in behind them as they approach the men waiting at the entrance doors. One of the men accepts the offered invitations that Domashi hands them and checks them against a list he has on a tablet while a second man passes a wand of some kind over their bodies. Domashi takes note of their stance and feels confident in an appraisal that they are well trained security men. Invitations checked, the doorman ushers all of them through a MAD scanner at the door, where a pretty woman has materialized. She smiles as she addresses each by name and Domashi does not have to wonder if her eyes seem to linger on him a bit longer than on either of the women he is with. Then her attention goes to Lany. {German} ”Good evening, Reichsfurst Seckendorff. My name is Louisa and I am one of the hostesses here. You have arrived at a perfect time, Your Grace. Please accompany me into the ballroom and I will see you situated.”

Lany nods to the woman and lets her lead them into the building. She looks around the decor without any real interest, and then turns to look up at Domashi. ”Not as nice as the event in Geneva last month, would you not agree?” Lany says absently, putting a thick German accent behind her French words.

Domashi nods without taking his eyes off of Lany’s. ”I do think that Your Grace’s assessment is quite correct.” He adds in a smile.

The large room they enter is crowded with people currently milling about and doing the social equivalent of one-upmanship by quality of gown. They see a small host of hovering drones that have to be chronicling the activities of everyone. Uniformed waiters and waitresses glide effortlessly through the crowd, trays of wine glasses delicately balanced in experienced hands. As Lany and Jasmine look around, comparing the various gowns they see to theirs, the hostess leans in close to whisper to Domashi. ”That event may have been in a nicer venue, but it did not have me there. My commcode is loaded onto your ‘link, under Louisa. Let me know if you get bored.”

The hot hostess points out the locations of the bar and snack tables and reminds them that they should be in the main ballroom about fifteen minutes before dinner to make sure that they get a decent seat for the show. She smiles at all of them before leaving, her smile lingering just a bit longer on Domashi. As she turns and walks away, Domashi, completely in keeping with his gigolo guise as well as his basic nature, watches her closely, noting that her ass looks remarkably nice in the sharp pantsuit she is wearing.

Jasmine nudges Domashi gently. ”Hey, Casanova, eyes on the princess. Of course, I suppose it is expected to try to make time with all the women here. I have heard some very interesting stories about what goes on at parties like this after the show is over, the wine is still flowing, and the lights go down for the dancing.”

Domashi would be hard pressed to be pulled away from watching the hostess’s ass. There are only a handful of women who could do it easily, and Jasmine is one of them. His attention turns to Jasmine’s exquisite eyes. ”Are you looking to find out? I will make sure to have that happen if you are.” His eyes are smiling to her as he winks.

Jasmine leans forward, keeping her voice low. ”Promises, promises, Dominik. But can you live up to them, I wonder? You do seem to have a great deal of freedom in your women. You know, from the way the two of you look at each other, I would swear that you and Pandora were intimate together, and recently, but if so, it was not in the car…..unless that cute driver cleaned up after you while you were out of it. Does Christine know about you and Pandora? Not judging here, but I need to know if I should keep my mouth closed about it when I see her next.”

Domashi never loses the smile Jasmine brings out of him, and replies to her without shame. ”I said to you the other day that I keep no secrets from the important women in my life. Christine, Pandora, and you, as far as I am concerned, are some of the important women in my life. Our situation is pretty far from typical, and I am willing to tell you all about it. I am also willing to go slow on that, if you are not quite ready to hear everything just yet.” He licks his lips. ”Whenever you are ready, Jasmine. Just say the word.”

Jasmine actually gives a slight shiver but smiles broadly as she puts a hand on Domashi’s shoulder. ”I don’t really know if I am ready, Dominik. What I do know is that I want to be ready. I have come to the distinct conclusion that my first impression of you was very………um………inaccurate. I would love to have a second chance to get to know you. Also, it would appear that I am between boyfriends right now, so do you have room on your card for another girlfriend?”

Domashi spares a quick glance to make sure Lany isn’t getting in over her head, and to his amazement she seems to be really enjoying herself. He then looks back to Jasmine. ”The simplest thing I could say here is that you do not need a second chance. You have never lost your first one.” He grins at her and can’t help but put a hand on her hip. ”Along with that, you are already on my card. I do want to give you a couple of days though… I’d rather you made the decision without any regrets.”

Jasmine’s eyes grow larger and she nods her head. ”I think that you really mean that, Dominik. Thank you and it means a lot to know that I am not just some sort of score for you. A couple of days might do it, although I may need to find a hotel to stay at for a few nights while Gregoir cools down. He is going to wake up with quite a headache and a big hard on for me and Pandora, and I do not mean that in a sexual manner. He is going to be very mad and looking to get some payback. He does not know her or where she lives, but me………”

”Not to worry, Jasmine. If you think you might be up to it, Pandora, Christine, and I have a couple of hotel suites. There are some others there too, and you will be welcomed by them all. If that is a bit too much for you, I will get you your own room. It can even be in another hotel, if you choose.” Domashi does not even try to hide the concern he has for her.

Jasmine nods thoughtfully. ”And are these “others” also women? And are they your lovers, too?”

Domashi nods. ”Most of them are, yes. My daughter is not a lover though.” He winks to Jasmine knowing he caught her off guard unfairly. ”All of them are important to me, and I hold no secrets from any of them, except for my daughter. She is too young for that level of honesty. They are all good, caring women and I know you could be comfortable there if you are ready.”

Jasmine pauses and Domashi can tell that he has, indeed, caught her a bit off guard but she recovers quickly. ”Just how many women would I be sharing you with in this harem of yours? And are you sure they would accept me?”

”I know they will accept you. Whatever I couldn’t tell them about you, I am certain Christine has made sure that they know what a wonderful woman you are.” He smiles wide for the next part. ”I would not call it a harem, as I often feel like I am the one that is kept.” He winks to Jasmine. ”All told, there are five, including you. There is Christine, and Pandora. Keiko, mother to our daughter, Mirai. And Iliena, who I am starting to think is the alpha of our group.”

”Wow. And I was just thinking my life was complicated. Do they have a rotation in the sack or what? Any group stuff? Are we allowed outside “interests”?”

A light laugh escapes from Domashi. ”I do think you are becoming ready. There is no set rotation. I tried bringing that up as a way to make sure I showed an equal amount of attention to them all, and it was shot down quite rapidly.” His smile never fades. ”The group stuff does happen, but to be completely honest with you… I prefer one on one. And you are most certainly allowed outside interests. It is even encouraged, if you feel the need. I just need to ask you to keep me out of sight of it, as I am still working my way through being able to witness it.”

Jasmine nods again. ”Wow, again. OK, I can keep anything on the down low, but it sounds like I might not need to worry about it. For a while at least, I suppose, until you get tired of me. On another issue; a daughter. Young I take it? Are you encouraging or discouraging pregnancies here?”

Domashi’s eyes sparkle with humor and admiration for Jasmine. ”At this rate, I will be through telling you everything before we even have our first drink. Hmmm… You do not need to keep any other interests secret from me. I am perfectly okay with the concept. It is just… That watching it is too new for me right now. I will not grow tired of you, you are not some fling to me….” Domashi tries to remember what else she asked of him. ”Mirai is two and a half, and I have very little say in pregnancies as that isn’t really my call. Last any told me though, they were all taking precautions against it. I do not think that needs to change right now, because I think our princess there might be adopting another girl. A homeless orphan she helped recently. I think between her and Mirai, we will have enough for the immediate future.” He leans down closer to Jasmine. ”Can I answer anything else for you right now, my gorgeous dancer, or can you enjoy the party a bit? We have plenty of time, you do not have to draw everything from me right now, if you can wait.”

Jasmine giggles just a bit. ”I have to tell you that I am not a very passive sort of person. It sounds like I could really like these women, and I will leave it at that for now except for two final questions. First, jealousy. You have said that you are uncomfortable watching any of the others with other people. Does that happen often and are they jealous of you with other women, to include each other? Second, when could I meet them to be sure I would fit? I guess that is technically more than two questions, but the first couple were related so I am counting them as just one.”

”As far as I am concerned, you don’t have to count them at all. I welcome you to ask anything and everything you want. There has not been any opportunities for me to observe them with anyone outside of the core group yet. I do not know if they have not had any, or are respecting my difficulties.” Domashi thinks a little bit. ”Pandora has recently found herself an outside interest, and that is helping me to come to grips with it all. If there is any jealousy between them, no one has made mention of it to me. I do try very hard to make sure no one woman gets more attention than the others though, so that might help with that. As for when you can meet them, I was already planning on calling them tonight to make sure they would welcome you. My intention is to drop you off at the hotel before I keep my promises to Pandora after the show.”

Jasmine nods. ”OK. Further questions will be dependent on what I get from the other women, if that is alright with you. I have about a billion right now, but it looks like our princess may need a bit of a rescue. Perhaps I should play the good handmaid and go secure some seating in the dining room? I know it is early, but we don’t want to be left standing against the wall, right?”

”As much as I would rather stand here talking to you than watch this pompous ass, you are right. We should get back to work, and make our princess happy.” Domashi winks to Jasmine, but does not take his hand from her hip or even move.

Jasmine leans in and gives Domashi a kiss on the cheek. ”Tell you what. I will let you look at my hopefully less pompous ass as I walk off to fetch you some snacks before wandering into the next room.” She steps away and actually wriggles her butt in his direction as she moves off in search of the snack tables. By the time Domashi looks back at Lany, she has three men gathered about her. She looks to be handling herself well, but one of the men does seem a bit handsy.

Domashi is fairly certain that just yesterday he would have had the overwhelming urge to punch the man getting handsy with “his” princess. Today, it doesn’t bother him as much, but he feels he might need to make a statement for the men to see if Lany wants the easy out. He walks up to her and brushes a lock of her hair back. ”I’m sorry, Your Grace. Your maiden distracted me for longer than I intended. Can I get you anything?”

Lany gives Domashi an apathetic look before stating, ”More attentiveness would be a start; my dear Dominik, but a fresh glass of champagne would suffice for now.” She then returns her attention to her grab-happy acquaintance. ”And you, sir, have insulted me for the last time.” Lany declares, her hands planted firmly on her hips.

A man in the uniform of the security detail for the gala shows up almost as if he had been waiting in earshot of the important German Princess. ”I am Pierre Roget, Your Grace, event security. May I be of assistance?”

Giving the man a glare that insists he should have been there sooner, Lany answers abruptly. ”You had best be of some assistance. This… vagabond has been laying his filthy hands on my gown for the last thirty minutes. I thought an event such as this would at least screen their guests for a measure of refinement. I am Reichsfurst of Bavaria, not some serving wench to be manhandled. I want this curr removed at once.”

The two men not apparently the subject of the Reichsfurst’s ire simply fade away into the gathering crowd. The security officer nods and holds out a hand to the man who is the source of her outrage. ”Pardon me, Minister, but I will need to ask you to come with me.” He turns to Lany and bows slightly. ”Forgive me, Your Grace, but I am afraid that I cannot simply remove him. Do you think an apology and perhaps an increased donation to the charity this evening would suffice?” The offending Minister looks to be almost having an attack of some sort, but keeps his mouth shut for the time being.

Jasmine manages to push her way through the gathering crowd of onlookers, three trays of snacks in her hands. She stops just before popping from the crowd into the small open area around her mistress, some older guy in a fancy tux, and some really cute guy in a rather plain suit. Looking about, she spies Domashi and glides almost effortlessly through the crowd. For just about the first time in her life, she is thankful for the endless hours she had put in waiting tables at her family’s cafe. Once at Domashi’s side, she hands him a plate of snacks. ”So what is going on here?”

Domashi chuckles to Jasmine. ”Our Reichsfurst is busy teaching manners to one of her admirers.” He pops a small fried piece into his mouth. ”Apparently, he is a minister and has been a little too forward with her, in a physical sense.” He examines one of the little sandwiches, but places it back on the tray for now. ”To be honest, I’m surprised he is getting to walk away unhurt.”

Jasmine almost chokes on whatever she is eating. ”No, Dominik, not a minister, as in a church, but Minister. That is Georges St Eclou, as in the government official in charge of the homeless widows and orphans in Marseilles. This is his charity gala. Say, you don’t like that sandwich? May I? One of my favorites.” Domashi nods to her and extends the tray for her. Jasmine nods thanks and takes the sandwich. ”Thanks. So, is the show nearly over? Shame I missed most of it. Who is the guy in the regular suit? Security of some sort?”

Domashi nods again. ”Pierre Roget, event security. If he catches your attention, you could do much worse.” He gives Jasmine a genuine and warm smile.

Reacting as though she has been extremely put out, Lany sighs heavily and considers the offer for what seems like an eternity. She is quietly enjoying watching the lecherous Minister tremble in his cumberbun as he prays for a graceful escape to his predicament. She at last responds, ”Very well, but it will need to be quite the generous donation. It appears that Marseilles has more than it’s share of children living on it’s streets. Perhaps if it’s Ministers spent more time attending to their duties than assaulting women of station, this gala would not even have been necessary.” She begins to turn away, but shifts her icy gaze back to her assailant. ”You are lucky we are not in Bavaria, sir. If we were, you would not be getting off so lightly. See that you do not find yourself there in the future.” Lany declares, wrath evident behind her measured tone.

The older man looks almost apoplectic but bows low to the woman he has insulted and clearly enunciates an apology. He turns to leave, but the security man gives a short “tsk” and the Minister turns back, bowing yet again as he promises to donate an additional one hundred thousand nuyen to the charity, writing a check for the amount on the spot and handing it to the security man, who examines it and places it in his pocket. A smile later and the Minister leaves, the smile turning into a scowl as soon as he is out of sight. Roget bows low to the Reichsfurst. ”I do hope that the punishment is satisfactory, Your Grace. Perhaps you would allow me to remain a bit closer? Perhaps to avoid any similar transgressions in the future?”

Domashi leans a little closer to Jasmine. ”You might have missed your chance…”

Jasmine nods. ”Perhaps. Quite a dish, too. Oh well, I guess I will just have to make do with you.”

Lany considers his offer thoughtfully. She knew that with the scene that just transpired, he would be watching her close regardless of whether she accepted or not. That could get in the way of the mission. Lany then notices the enticing glances Jasmine was giving the handsome security guard. ”That will not be necessary, Monsieur Roget. I believe my Consort here can discourage any others who may be seeking to sully my honor. But if you insist to hover over me, you can provide me the service of accompanying my handmaiden.” Lany replies offhandedly, looking to Jasmine and hoping to see approval for the plan in her face.

Jasmine pops a last sandwich into her mouth and nods meekly at Lany. ”Of course, Your Grace.”

Her look betraying nothing of the joy she felt at Jasmine’s acceptance, Lany turns to Domashi with an almost annoyed stare. ”Come along, Dominik. Have you even bothered yourself with readying our table for Maitre’ Armond’s performance?”

Domashi struggles to hold back the annoyance that Lany is causing in him, and nods. ”Yes, Your Grace.” He falls into step next to her holding out a tray of snacks if she wants any. ”No, Your Grace. Your maid was on her way to do just that when the altercation happened.”

Jasmine gives a contrite look and walks off before she can receive any of the chastising that Lany is passing out to everyone else. The security man, torn between watching the Reichsfurst and her maid, wisely opts for remaining behind, but staying back a bit. Within a few minutes, the lights in the room briefly dim, signalling that everyone should make their way to the main dining room to find a table. The security man, doubtless glad that his responsibilities are at a temporary end, fades off as Lany and Domashi head towards the table secured by Jasmine.

The Palais, Old Port, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, Iliena, Christine, & Keiko

He takes Keiko’s hand and leaves the bedroom, finding all three of the other women on the couch. Iliena smiles at Keiko and motions to the other bedroom. ”Mirai is adorable. She is sleeping on the bed in the other room.” She looks over to Dominik and nods to him. ”Tadashi, if you do not mind, I think that the four of us need to have some alone time right now.”

He nods, having fully expected something like this. ”I would love to be a fly on the wall here, but I will go down to the lobby and wait for someone to call me.” He kisses Keiko’s hand as he releases it then nods to his wives before leaving the suite. He toys with remaining near the door, where he might be able to overhear what was going to be said but decides against that. No, this relationship must have trust in it to work, and doing that would sort of violate that trust. He shakes his head, hoping that he will not be returning to turmoil.

In the suite, Iliena stands and motions to the dining table. ”We might be more comfortable around the table?”

Keiko nods and moves that way with Iliena as Christine and Pandora follow. As the four women take seats, Keiko and Christine are next to each other on one side of the table while Iliena and Pandora are on the other side. Iliena looks around at the others then puts a hand on the center of the table. ”All truth and no drek. Everyone speaks her mind.” The others look a bit surprised and unsure of exactly what to do. Christine recovers first and places her hand on top of Iliena’s as she nods. Keiko surprises even herself as she is next. All three look at Pandora, who looks a bit like she would like to go invisible and sneak out of the room, but she nods her head and gives them a weak grin before placing her hand on the pile.

Iliena smiles and makes no effort to remove her hand as she begins to talk. ”This must all look and sound very odd to you, Keiko. I am going to tell you a story that will probably sound even odder as there is a bit of mysticism and faith involved. Please do not hesitate to jump in at any time with any questions you might have. Are you ready for me to begin?” Keiko pauses but nods without saying anything and Iliena continues. ”I grew up in a Gypsy caravan. My mother has a very strong gift for telling fortunes. Palms, tea leaves, you name it, but her favorite was the cards.” Iliena shrugs her shoulders and grins. ”Sure, most of it is lies made up to get money from strangers who want a bit of good news in an otherwise bleak life. But sometimes there is something real and she would get this look on her face, mostly as she was pulling cards for a reading, as she “saw” something about the person she was talking to.”

“She started training me to do the same thing when I was five. I was already active in the circus as a gymnast and acrobat, but she thought it was time to learn to tell fortunes. She started by doing a read for me and I saw the “look” on her face as she examined the cards. I can still recall the positions of every card in the read, as if it had taken place only minutes ago. Mother shook her head and explained every card and what it meant to me. I will not go into all the details, but she said my life would be turned upside down, that I would run away then come back then leave again, that I would have many lovers but must wait for a special man before I committed my heart to any, that I would love four women as sisters, and that I would bear just one child before I died. Strange, yes? Stranger yet is that I have pulled my cards several times over the years and the pattern is always the same, always. I did say that this was a story of faith, remember, and mysticism?”

When I was sixteen, my father tried to force me into a marriage to a violent man. This man had great influence among the Gypsy clans, but he had killed two wives already and I did not wish to be the third, so I ran away. I did not get far before I was caught and taken back to him. I ran away again and this time they did not catch me. I roamed over Europe, staying a step ahead of the man, who was very angry that I did not want to marry him. He was killed in a fight over another man’s wife and I was allowed to return home, but something dragged me away and I returned to Europe. I was living with friends in Germany when I pulled my cards yet again. Same read as all the other times, except that this time I got the feeling that I needed to be somewhere else; that my man was coming for me. My palm, my hair, my tea leaves……everything was telling me that it was time. Before long, I was standing outside a hotel in Paris, waiting for him to step through the door and into my life.”

”I knew him from the moment I saw him. All he saw then was a street whore making a pitch to him, yet something led him to ask me to share his cab to the airport. Dominik…..Tadashi……is the man of my fortunes.” She motions to Christine and Pandora with her free hand. ”Christine and Pandora are two of the women I have seen in my readings, and now that I have met you, I know that you are the third. I will know the fourth when I see her. So far, everything about my fortune has come to pass, so why should I doubt the rest? The cards and my heart have brought me to this table with the three of you at this very moment. In some way we are bound together in a manner that is meant to be. I know that this must sound crazy. He would say “batshit crazy”, and probably be right. But there is no doubt in my mind that all of us are bound together by love. By love for him, and by love for each other. It has only been two days and yet the three of us have experienced something amazing, something fantastic. We want you to join us as one of his sister-wives.”

Keiko has remained silent through this part of the conversation, despite the offer to interrupt with questions. She realizes that her mouth is slightly open and she shuts is after taking a deep breath. ”Fuck. And here I thought I have an interesting life.” She looks around at the other two women at the table. ”And you two are buying into this?”

Christine puts her free hand on the pile and nods. ”I am a thousand percent in. I do not know how, but every part of me is saying that this is real and that I need to grab onto this before it goes away and I spend the rest of my life regretting not being part of it. I love Dominik. Sorry, still trying to wrap my mind around Tadashi. I love Ilena and Pandora. My eyes have been opened to a life I would never have looked for and might have refused even three days ago and yet today feels so right. I do not really understand everything that Iliena has said, but it is enough that I know I want it.”

Pandora nods as she adds her second hand. ”I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on and what it all means exactly, but it’s just as the others say. Can’t explain why really, but somethin in me just knows that I belong here with these people. And with you it seems. Does that make any sense?”

Keiko shakes her head and laughs. She does not add her free hand, but she does not remove the one already in the pile. ”No. It makes no sense at all. It is very much like a badly written trideo that will implode at any moment and end in tears and bloodshed. Tadashi has always had a roving eye for women and it looks like he has taken all of you into some scheme where he gets as much sex as possible without a commitment.”

Christine and Pandora both look surprised then laugh. Christine nods her head towards Iliena. ”No, you have it wrong, Keiko. Dom….Tadashi, is as much a victim as I or Pandora are. The guilty person here is our Rom Gypsy. Iliena is the catalyst that has brought us together and convinced us how right this is. Part of it is mumbo jumbo magic, especially as she brings us together, but right now it is all love that keeps us together.”

Keiko shakes her head again. ”So one girl has brought Tadashi to this? Are you not afraid that he will want more than this? If he tastes this sort of thing, he will want more.”

Iliena puts her second hand on the pile with the others. ”Of course he will want more. We are not limiting him to us. We are his wives but this is not a traditional relationship, by any means. But he will not have secrets; none of us will. No secrets, no lies, no hidden lovers.” Iliena gives Keiko a long look. ”So, have we passed the test?”

Keiko blushes a bit but does not look away. ”I am not truly certain that anyone can fully pass the test. Tadashi is………..well, I have come to realize that he is the love of my life and I can see him getting hurt here. Very badly. And we have a daughter I have to think about as well. If I join this group, how can I be sure that she will be raised right? What would she think?”

Everyone else remains silent and looks to Iliena, who smiles at them then at Keiko. ”Those are very valid concerns, but you already know in your heart that I am speaking the truth. The cards are guides and have brought us all here. What we do with the rest of our lives is up to us. Yes, it is possible that one or more of us will be hurt. Hurt beyond the ability of the others to heal and so will leave. But I ask you, you who have waited so long. Is it not better to seize love where it is and ride it out, even if it ends badly, than to sit at home and wonder what if? Your daughter will become our daughter and she will grow up in a home filled with love. We will, of course, need to come to terms with how to raise her, but those are details that do not change the fact that we all love Tadashi and each other. I happen to think that the love is strong enough to overcome anything and that you will not be complete if you do not say yes.” Iliena motions with her eyes to the pile of hands on the table then looks back up at Keiko.

Keiko looks around at the other women then nods, placing her hand on top of the pile. A collective sigh of relief can be heard from the others and then all laugh. Iliena looks at Keiko. ”Tadashi is in the lobby. Why don’t you go give him the good news?”

Keiko looks a bit surprised then nods. ”You know, this is crazy enough to work. At least I can give it a shot. Goodness knows we can all use this sort of love in our lives. I will go get him.”

As she stands and breaks the pile of hands, Iliena takes her hands in hers. ”There is no power greater than love, Keiko. With it we can overcome any obstacle, any problem. Without it, we just exist as empty shells. I know that you love him, but love is infinite in size and you can include us in your heart as well. I think that unless the two of you need us for anything, we will retire to the other room until the morning. Use and abuse our poor husband. And welcome to the family.” Keiko nods without saying a word and turns to leave the suite.

Seeing an easy opening for her, Lany makes her move. ”As wonderful as all that sounds, I’m afraid I must be leavin. I need to start packin up my flat after all.” She says with smile, doing her best to sound as casual as possible. ”But dunna worry, I’ll be back in the mornin.”

In the lobby, Keiko spies Tadashi, no, it is Dominik here, sitting in a chair. He is looking at his ‘link as if waiting for a call. She comes to kneel in front of him and puts her arms on his legs. ”I will have to get used to this one, I suppose. At least it is better than Ayaka in her schoolgirl uniform. Although, to be honest, you did look very hot like that and I would not mind……….well, to make the story shorter, your other wives sent me down to let you know that we are staying. I cannot begin to tell you how crazy this whole idea is, but that Rom girl could sell ice cream to people living on the south pole and she has sold me on this.”

That she said “other wives” is not lost on Dominik and his heart soars as he leans forward to bring Keiko onto his lap. ”I will never be able to tell you often enough that I love you, Sexy Keiko. You will just have to get used to hearing it. I am so glad that you and Mirai are here. Can you commit to this?” At her nod, he leans over to kiss her. The two eventually stand and take the elevator to their floor. Entering the suite, they find that the others have disappeared, leaving them the living room and master bedroom. Tadashi sighs as he drops his Mask. ”I was going to suggest the others take the master bed while you and I spent the morning here on the couch. I take it they are in the second bedroom, and that you are comfortable with what your little drone is feeding you?”

Keiko shakes her head as she settles in against his chest. ”I have put them away. I am committing myself to this. I still have my doubts, but I trust the others as you do.” She rubs her hand over his chest and side. ”Were you really going to confine us to the couch?” He can feel her chuckle as she says that.

”It seemed the only fair way to do things. I wasn’t going to have the three of them spread out between the couch and chairs, and I had no intentions of having anyone in the room with Mirai. I have no issue with that, it just wasn’t something I was planning on.” Tadashi lifts Keiko’s head by her chin gently and looks down into her eyes. ”There is more to discuss, but it isn’t quite as important as what has already been said. It can wait for a time, if you want.”

Keiko pulls his head down to hers so she can kiss him. The pose is so much like the one they had in the rain those years ago in Kyoto. ”I have wanted you for weeks. I can wait a few minutes more. I want to know what you have to say.”

He holds his head to hers and looks into her eyes. ”I have more here than any one person deserves. I would be content with just one of you. No matter what happens on the relationship side of things, I need you and Mirai in my life. If that requires separate housing, I am all for it.” He caresses her cheek with his hand. ”Even with the love I am receiving from, as well as giving to, the four of you, I have other lesser relationships I need to maintain.” He expects to hear something from Keiko, to feel her tense up, something. Nothing is coming from her except patient waiting. ”I do not need these… Liaisons. The women that I am meeting with do, however. Because of that, I am reluctant to give them up easily. If it makes you more comfortable, I will though. Without question.”

Keiko looks him in the eyes and sees that he is speaking the truth. A feeling of calm descends on her and she realizes that perhaps the Gypsy has something right. She shakes her head. ”I am assuming that the other wives already know of these women?”

Tadashi nods. ”Yes. They know. I have lunch dates with a Miss Miller the rest of the week, and I have a date with a Mrs. Brassard in a couple of weeks. For the record, I also have evening dates with Lany, um Pandora, the rest of the week as well, except for Friday. She and I will be going to dinner, and then she will be taking me to the night spots she prefers. This is assuming that she doesn’t change her mind now that she is committing to this relationship as well. I do not know if this counts, but I won’t hold it back either. Christine and I will be meeting a woman she knows in the morning for coffee. Chris has claimed she is extremely attractive, so I can’t rule out thoughts and possibilities. For right now though, it is simply business. There is another woman who we all deal with named Margot that we will be in contact with sometime tomorrow morning, and I suspect I will have to take her to lunch at some point for her work. I might have to change that to dinner on Friday…” He lets that trail off as he thinks on if he is missing anything.

Keiko remains silent during his litany of lovers, but with each one her eyes widen a tiny bit more. ”My Oni, do you really keep that many lovers?”

He lets out a warm laugh at her question. ”It is more accurate to say they keep me.” He smiles easily to her. ”Truthfully… I could be happy with one. Maybe two, total. I do not regret all the others, but I do not seek them out either. Ever since I met Liena, I seem to only meet attractive women. Women who enjoy having me. I do not want to sound like I am blaming this on her, but I sometimes wonder if things would be anything like this if I hadn’t met her.” He wraps her up in a low hug and picks her up off the floor letting her look down into his eyes for a while. He takes only one quick look to check for obstacles before returning his gaze into her eyes as he carries her to the master bed. ”Enough talk…”

”More sex!” Keiko didn’t let him finish. She giggled and squirmed with anticipation. She had wanted this for some time, and even the strange events of the morning couldn’t keep her desires away for much longer.

With a quick glance to check that the bed is clear of obstacles, Tadashi tosses Keiko onto the bed, and dives to her waist to start undoing her pants. Keiko is only stunned for a moment, then as she reads the situation, she starts undoing her shirt. Both finish at nearly the same time, and Keiko lies there on the bed in all her sexy nakedness. Tadashi looks her over and sighs.

Keiko doesn’t give him time to appreciate her body though, and she returns the earlier favor by lunging forward to work on his pants. In a mirror of just a second ago, Tadashi takes of his shirt. In moments, Keiko is sitting on the edge of the bed admiring just how much Tadashi desires her.

She wasn’t one to really enjoy sucking his cock. That is not to say she avoided it, but that she prefered everything else much more. So Tadashi is surprised when she licks the tip of his erection, and then swallows it up as far as she is comfortable with. He lets out a growling moan that shows his appreciation as well as his surprise. She strokes him inside her mouth several times, and his erection twitches and jerks in anticipation of more with her. Keiko slides him out of her mouth and strokes on him with her hand as she looks up into Tadashi’s eyes. ”You have been missing me, haven’t you? Even with all of these other women in your life?”

Tadashi looks down at her and smiles. He pushes her back onto the bed with enough force to catch her off guard, and crawls on top of her looking her in the eyes. ”Each of these women have their own special points. No one can replace any of them, just as no one could ever replace you. I may receive physical satisfaction from others, but they will never be you. I love you. I want you. And right now…” He kisses her for a minute or two. ”I want to lick you.”

Keiko giggles and squirms as he kisses and licks his way down her torso. He spends a few extra moments at each breast, making sure that each nipple is as hard and erect as he can make it before moving on. Then he spends extra time at her belly button, demonstrating what he will do to her when he reaches his destination. Keiko lets out a low moan and writhes as his tongue probes and licks her button hole. By the time he has reached her crotch, Tadashi is completely off the bed, and he has settled into a kneeling position expecting this to last many minutes.

To his surprise, Keiko only lets him devour her for only a few minutes before she stops him. ”Enough, My Oni. Enough.” She sits up and then pulls his head up to hers. ”You are better than ever. You have done nothing wrong, but I can get that kind of attention from the women I take to bed. What I want, what I crave, is what only you can provide. Drive that amazing thing of yours into me and make me scream for more.”

Tadashi has to resist the urge to just drive his erection into her raw. She hasn’t been a virgin for many years, yet she still doesn’t have men fuck her frequently enough to not need a little special attention at first. He kisses her as he guides her back onto the bed. He takes his hardon in his hand and rubs the tip against her wet lips while he continues to kiss her. Keiko moans and bites gently on his tongue with every stroke of the tip of his erection. When she starts to show signs of frustration, he pushes just the tip into her and holds there for a moment.

Keiko gasps in surprise and wondrous joy at the feeling his cock inside her brings. She looks into Tadashi’s eyes with a smile of hunger, of craving. ”Hell yes! That is what I want. Take me, my Oni. Make me yours all over again.”

”Aye,” Without realizing what he has done, Tadashi has started to take on the speech patterns of Lany. ”I will do that.” He slides into Keiko a little bit, then pulls back just a touch, and continues this until he is all the way inside her. Keiko is panting and writhing in anticipation. He pauses for a few moments and cups her right breast in his hand as he pulls on and twists the nipple a bit.

”Don’t you dare stop there! I haven’t travelled all this way for you to just tease me. Either you get going, or I will take you myself.” She dares him to defy her with her stare.

Tadashi thinks her idea is a very good one. Up until this point, he has always been the top in their sex, mostly due to Keiko’s inexperience with men. He nods, and scoops her up in a tight hug, as he rolls over and sets her up on top of him. ”Go for it my love. Take out all your frustrations and desires out on me. I will take it, and crave more from you. Do what you want, what you desire but have never told me. I will love every second of it, but not nearly as much as I love you.”

Keiko is stunned into inaction as he commands her to take over to do whatever she desires. She blinks a few times before she can collect her thoughts enough to continue. ”You do not mind? Are you sure? I don’t want to take away any of your fun…”

Tadashi laughs heartily. ”I am sorry, Sexy Keiko. I know I shouldn’t laugh as this is all kind of new to you. I love having sex. I love having sex with you even more than that. Somewhere just below my love for having sex with you, is my love for having women ride me. This is very much fun for me. Go on,” He waves a hand at her. ”Do what you need. If I do not cum before you are finished, I will take you the way you are used to.” He smiles at her knowing full well that having her bounce on him will have him emptying into her by around the same time as she finishes, if not before.

Keiko kind of blinks as she tries to process things. Then she tentatively rises up on him and bucks a little as she slides down on him. Her second attempt doesn’t go much better, so Tadashi puts his hands on her hips gently and nods to her.

”Try and breath with your rhythm. I think breathing in on the up stroke, and out on the down works, but you might prefer the other way. Let us try it my way first.” He grips her a bit tighter, but only a little, and he pushes her up to about two thirds of the way up on him. ”Breath in…” He says while she rises. “And now breathe out,” he says while he guides her down as far as she will go. ”Again.” He pushes her up, and guides her down a few more times as she practices the motions. ”Do you think you have it now?” When she nods, he lets go of her waist and lets her continue all on her own.

Things do not go ultra smooth as Keiko takes a few moments to try different positionings of her legs to find what is most comfortable for her, but Tadashi doesn’t mind one bit. There was a point there where he may have cummed before she was finished, if she hadn’t taken a moment to reposition. Once she has found her rhythm and position though, things go great. Towards the end, Tadashi has to put his hand over her mouth to help stifle her screams of pleasure so as to not wake anyone up next door. Between her screams, her thrusting onto him harder than he had ever been with her, and just the sight of this incredibly sexy woman riding him, he releases into her with a fervor and an eruption like he had never had with her and she collapses onto him panting with her legs quivering.

Tadashi caresses her back with one hand, and her head with the other. ”Not bad for your first time. That was quite enjoyable for me. I think I would like to help you practice that more often.”

Keiko laughs. ”Not right now you won’t. That was just the release I needed. Combined with how tired I am, I don’t think I will last…” Her words trail off at the end, ending in a moment of silence before he can hear only her breathing.

The Palais, Living Room Floor, Old Port, Marseilles; Lany & Iliena

At Pandora’s implied suggestion, Iliena sinks to the soft rug, kneeling just in front of the other woman. Her bright eyes are like pools of liquid mercury and seem to burn all the way into Pandora’s soul and she smiles as if pleased at what she sees there. Iliena places her hands on the floor on each side of Pandora’s legs and leans forward, pressing her lips to those of the Scotswoman. The kiss is fire and it burns into Pandora, igniting something there that has been mostly repressed for some time.

Lany is taken aback by the kiss, and can feel a fire rising within her. Something felt so right about making love with this seductive Gypsy, and she could feel a passion, a need, begin to take her over. She grabs Iliena by the shoulder, rolling her over and mounting her in a single motion, never breaking the fiery kiss.

The kiss lasts for about thirty years then Pandora raises her face up from Iliena’s and the girl beneath her smiles and puts a soft hand to Pandora’s cheek. “Wow, Pandora, that was some kiss. You have had that bottled up inside for a bit. So, tell me, are you happy letting me make love to you or do you want to learn how to please a woman?”

Still panting a bit from the kiss, Pandora carefully considers the question. She has never before even really considered that she might be bisexual, yet here she is having to face the fact that she might very well be. In the space of a couple of hours she has experienced two women making love to her…………and she fragging loved it. The orgasms that they had set off rivaled anything she has ever experienced in her life from any man. Her mind goes to the terrific time spent with Dominik and then wanders to Marcel for a few moments, which sets her heart beating a bit faster. No, she is not yet ready to swear off men entirely, but including women in her life looks to be a real plus. Her thoughts race through her head as she considers how to respond to the naked woman lying beneath her and her mind decides on the truth. “Um, I’d love to know how to make love to you. It is just that until tonight I’ve never even wanted to be like this with another woman. I don’t real…………….

Iliena puts a finger to Pandora’s lips. ”Shhhhhh. You already know much more than you think you do. Let me show you how to bring that out. Hear, let me up.”

Iliena sits up with her back against the couch and spreads her legs, motioning for Pandora to get closer. The feminine scent emanating from the Rom girl is almost intoxicating, sparking a desire in Pandora that she has not experienced before. Her first moves are instinctive and a bit clumsy, but Iliena patiently talks her through it. ”You have to relax a bit, Pandora. You don’t have to force it. You know what turns you on so start with that. It is much like making real love to a man; you need to gauge what to do next by the responses to what you are doing now. So let’s get started……………..

…………….Pandora is on her back, her chest heaving as she tries to suck in enough air to steady her breathing and her pulse. ”Fuck……..what just happened to me? No one has ever……….holy shite, EVER……….made me feel like this. Damn!” The almost dead weight of the woman lying on her chest is actually quite nice. Pandora replays the last few minutes again, experiencing anew the moment when Iliena had screamed out her name and sent a torrent of her juices onto Pandora’s face and tongue. She had tried to lap up everything she could but had failed, allowing a good bit to flow across her face and onto her chest. She licks her lips, tasting again the wonderful nectar that is Iliena, and blushes a bit at the memory of her own orgasm at the hands of this wonderful, beautiful, amazing woman. Things are a bit fuzzy, but she is sure that she had screamed out something at her third…..fourth…..orgasm, but she has no idea what it was. It had started out as Iliena’s name but had morphed into something primal and not human, a wail that had seemed to go on forever, not stopping until a few seconds after the Gypsy had collapsed on her, as used up and quivering as much as she was.

Iliena gives the sopping pussy beneath her face a final lick, pleased at the tremors it induces in Pandora, then weakly shifts her body so that she can sit up next to her lover, who cannot seem to find the strength to sit up. She takes a hand and gently curves it around Pandora’s face. ”OK, you did pretty good with the basics. Are you ready for the advanced lessons?”

Pandora looks at Iliena in awe, ”More advanced than that?” Then she smiles. ”Aye. Bring it on. I’m ready when you are.”

The two women begin laughing and Iliena reaches out a hand to help Pandora get to a sitting position. The two lean into each other for a kiss and each tastes the flavor of their mixed juices. After the kiss, Pandora puts her head against Iliena’s shoulder and sighs. ”Fuck, Iliena, that was good, but if that really was the basic stuff, I’m not sure I could survive the advanced lessons. Frag, my cunt is………..well, hell, I’m not sure I can describe exactly what I’m feeling right now.” She has a slight panic attack. ”Um, how was……..”

Iliena smiles and leans over to stop Pandora’s words with a kiss. ”You were perfect. Go to the head of the class, but I hope that you do not think it is a negative thing when I say that you should see about getting a refresher in every once in a while.”

Pandora looks deeply into Iliena’s eyes and sees herself reflected there in a very nice way. She nods, completely convinced by now that she is bi and not regretting it at all. ”Aye, you can count on that.” She leans her head back against the seat of the couch and sighs. She has really enjoyed this, but is not ready to give up on men, not by a long shot. She had absolutely loved the way Dominik had felt inside her and she smiles at the thought of what she has in store for poor Marcel.

The Palais, Old Port, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, Iliena & Christine

In the master bedroom, Dominik and Christine are laying next to each other, comfortable in the glow that comes with extremely satisfying sex. They lie on their sides, looking at each other and smiling. Christine reaches over to her lover and runs a hand up his chest before placing it at his cheek. {I guess there was a little left after all. I have to tell you that I never thought I would be so lucky and yet here I am, in bed with a wonderful man I am falling in love with. I have never once in over fifty years of doing this met a man I could love like I think I could love you.” She lazily waves a hand to the room beyond the closed door. ”And that does not begin to explain what I feel for the absolute force of nature we left in the living room. Our Rom Gypsy has turned my world upside down and I do not really want to go back to what it was. Does that make any sense? For the first time in my life, I finally want to be me……………..only I do not know what me is. That woman has offered me a vision of a life in a completely different place and time. I would have fucked you because my corporate masters told me to, but I am making love to you because of her. I know that she loves you. Women can sense these things and I have never seen anyone more in love than her. Yet she has pushed us together and had encouraged Pandora to join us.”

She slides closer and puts her head against Dominik’s chest, listening to his heart beat. ”All of this is so crazy, yet it feels so very right. Are you completely sold on this rather insane picture Liena is painting for us? Before you answer, let me tell you that I am absolutely sold on it. Even though I have only known the two of you, now three, I guess, for less than two days, I am all in on this project. It might blow up on me but I do not care. I do know that I cannot only partially commit. None of us can. Jealousy, envy, greed…….any of those emotions could tear this apart. I feel completely liberated and free for the first time in my life. I have never felt more alive than when I am with her and you, and now Pandora. But tell me the truth, can you do this with all of us? For real?”

Tadashi just held Christine to him for a moment or two. ”Can I? I haven’t the faintest idea. I do know I will move Heaven and Earth to try though. I am all in as well… Like you, I know it could all blow up. I am willing to risk that on the chance it just might work.” He rubs his hand up and down her back and continues to enjoy this time.

A buzzing from the nightstand next to the bed alerts Dominik that he is receiving a message. Christine pushes at his shoulder. ”Some sort of well timed diversion to keep you from saying too much to the girl in your arms?”

With a chuckle, Tadashi nods to Christine. ”Probably. I am willing to let it wait though. I haven’t had nearly enough time to just hold you as I should spend on you.” He kisses her before adding, ”What more would you want me to say? I love you. I want you. I’ll do whatever I can for you.” He smiles at her warmly. ”What more would you like to hear?”

Christine smiles and buries her face in his chest. Her words are soft and a bit muted by her lips pressing against him. ‘”Fuck, Dominik. You just said everything I could ever want to hear. Any woman who needs more than that is just a greedy bitch and does not deserve the man who feels that way about her. I do love you.”

A wail comes to the two lovers and Christine chuckles against Dominik’s chest. ”I guess we know what our Rom is up to. She is certainly one special girl and I will forever be grateful that she brought us together. All of us.”

Dominik’s ‘link buzzes again, this time with the special tone he has reserved for Keiko.

Tadashi nods with a sigh. ”That one I should check. Sorry, Beautiful.” He kisses her and holds her for a moment longer. ”Don’t move, and I will be right back.” He then reluctantly unwinds himself from the wonderful Christine to go and check his damn comm.

He has two texts waiting for him. The first is from some woman named Jasmine that he does not recognize, but then remembers that is the name of Christine’s decker friend. The second is from Keiko and he opens it. >>Tadashi, my Oni, it is Keiko. I have made arrangements to come to Marseilles. I can still cancel if you have changed your mind. Let me know as soon as possible.<<

Without even thinking about how he told Christine he would be right back, Tadashi fires off a return message. <<{Keiko}> Don’t you dare cancel. I will see you as soon as the Dragons permit. See you soon, Sexy.>> When that is done, he opens the message from Jasmine before returning to Christine.

Jasmine’s message is short. >>Hello. My name is Jasmine Bishara. I am a friend of Christine’s and she had asked me to do some research for you. I have the information you need, but would like to meet face to face before I act on it. Would some time tomorrow be convenient for you?<<

He also gets a return message from Keiko. >>Tadashi, the plane is supposed to land at about 0100 your time. I will text you from the plane with any updates. We cannot wait to see you. It seems to have been so long.<<

Tadashi has to stop himself before responding to Keiko. Her message doesn’t require one, and he did promise Christine he would have been back to her sooner. He brings the comm opened to Jasmine’s message along with him. ”Looks like your friend came through. However, she wants a face to face meet.” He lays down next to her again, showing the message. ”Is that typical? Or is this some code that things are off?

Christine frowns a bit and shakes her head. ”No, it is a bit odd. She is normally just a ghost, you know, all of her work on the ‘trix. We have met for coffee a few times, but only socially, not for business. Wait, she is sending me a message, too.” She pauses a bit then smiles. ”I think everything is OK, but she wants to meet with you about why you are interested in sending pictures to a sixteen year old girl. What should I tell her? Do you want to meet? She does not know that I am in bed with you right now.”

Tadashi just shrugs. ”I’ll meet with her, if that makes her feel more comfortable. I’ll answer her if you want to keep our little arrangement a secret for now. Does she have a favorite place? Someplace that makes her feel most comfortable?”

Christine nods. ”She is Lebanese and her family owns a cafe and coffee shop overlooking the port. We usually meet there when we chat. I have to warn you that the coffee there is real and very strong. Sure, you can respond to her but just so you know, I am not embarrassed or ashamed by us. By any of us. I do not need to keep anything a secret. I love you. I love Pandora. I love Liena. Crazy, huh? But it is real. If I could, I would shout to the world that you and I have just made love together and that it was wonderful. Am I insane for wanting this? Probably, but it is a good insanity. Now, go ahead and respond to her while I give you some incentive to not take too long.” She is sliding down Dominik’s body and places her warm mouth over his flaccid penis in an attempt to get it to rise once again.

Tadashi moans and sighs at the same time when Christine starts to work her magic on him. <<{Jasmine}> Christine has told me that you have a favorite spot to chat with her at. If you want, we can meet there. Say, around 0800? If you prefer elsewhere, or another time, let me know. And if you would prefer I come alone, I will. Otherwise, I will bring Christine with me.>> ”I have no problems with you shouting to the world when we make love. Hell, you almost do so already.” He chuckles at the memories. ”There is a difference between needing to keep something secret, and just wanting to. Whenever it seems like I might be suggesting that you need to keep something secret, I will just be respecting your right to want it secret.” Just having her head near his crotch would get him stirring again. With her actively trying, however, he starts to get hard. ”Now… Please… Just don’t stop for a few minutes.” He lies back and moans at her wonderful technique.

His enjoyment is interrupted by the tone from his ‘link letting him know that he has another message. Christine looks up at Dominik’s face and grins. ”Tell her that I am blowing you and can she please limit the distractions. She sent me a text, too, and I told her that already, but I also told her that 0800 is fine. I can take you there, if you like.”

<<{Jasmine}> I think we have a date. I am a bit distracted right now as Christine is very talented. She does want me to ask you to keep the distractions to a minimum. She would like to have my full attention for at least the next twenty minutes. Thank you.>> Tadashi sends the message off before silencing his comm and tossing it to the other side of the bed.

Christine purrs as she lowers her head back down and takes her time blowing Dominik to an exquisite orgasm, swallowing everything he shoots into her mouth, which is actually a surprising amount, given what he has done so far today. When she is done, she licks him clean and lets go of his dick with a soft pop before sliding back up his body to kiss him. It does not even bother him anymore that he is tasting the remnants of his own cum as his tongue swirls about hers, his body still quivering in an ecstasy that he hopes he will never get used to. Soon, she drops back down a bit and places her head on his chest.

Shits not looking good today. Ashley’s is in rough shape, and my dumb ass just fried my nice shiny keyboard knocking over water on to the thing. It’s toast…

Hopefully I can borrow one tonight.

[always_overkill]

Hey guys, sorry I didn’t get on last night. Passed out around 9. Should be able to get on tonight

[always_overkill]

Checked it out, posed my initial inquiries in the OoC

[always_overkill]

So how does this work exactly, Lany is an elf, but is extremely young ( a trait I am not keen on losing). Is there a way we could work it as a past life type scenario, as you worked out with Al?

Alternatively, I have an elf Decker fully designed who might be able to be converted ( being tech centered, I have no clue how that would work…)

I’d prefer to build on Lany with this, as I consider her my main character in the Stormy Waters campaign, and this could be fun development for her. If we can work it out.

Give me a shout and maybe we can come up with something.

The Palais, Old Port, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, Iliena & Christine

Christine snorts as she shakes her head. ”Who chooses this type of life, Dominik? No, my parents were poor and sold me to Yamatetsu Corporation when I was five years old. They are now called EVO Corporation. Since I am a first gen UGE, that was in 2016. I have been a loyal cog in the EVO wheel for decades. I do not have any complaints, really. I have been provided with an amazing education in many things over the years and can carry a conversation on almost any subject, including many technical areas. I am skilled in many domestic areas as well and can cook and clean with the best maids. I have never been mistreated by my corporate masters, for which I am very grateful, and they have moved quickly to punish the handful of clients that have abused me. I have traveled to many countries in the world. All in all, I could see me doing that for the rest of my very long life. Until now. Now I am in love and do not want to move around any more unless it is with my husband and sister-wives. If I have left anything out, it is to preserve the secrets of others, not my own, or because I have forgotten to mention something.” She stops talking and looks over to Iliena, who puts a supportive arm around her.

Iliena takes a deep breath of her own. ”I guess it is my turn. I got nothing like that sort of story, but here goes. I am a Rom Gypsy, as you should know by now. I was born into a small clan of Gypsies and was trained to be a circus acrobat, trapeze artist, fortune teller, pickpocket, and whore. I started earning money on my back at age 13 and have not stopped.” Here she looks at Dominik. ”Until now. I met Dominik yesterday morning in Paris when I was standing outside his hotel at the time he was leaving it to go to the airport. I convinced him to let me ride in the cab and then to let me come here with him. I was very convincing. The thing is, I have known my whole life, well, as long as I could read the cards, that I would meet him. Not him, really, but someone. It tooks me years of refining the reading with other ones to determine that I needed to be standing outside that exact hotel and at a precise time of day to meet my man. The man I was fated to spend all eternity with. The cards also told me that there would be other women I would share him with. I have been pretty much on my own since I was 16 and ran away from what I knew would be an abusive arranged marriage. And yet not alone. There are Gypsies all over Europe and other places and the Gypsy Road is real. I have been fucking and sucking strangers for money for years and find no shame in what I have done to eat and get some bit of shelter. I am completely uneducated and cannot read nor write more than my name, and that is just from memory. I speak most of the languages of Europe quite well, and can certainly hold my own in a swearing contest with Chris in those languages. I was not given any official training in the same sex techniques as Chris was, but I am sure that none of my clients have ever complained.” She looks about then adds. ”I hope that I have not chased you away because I really think that you could fit in here as one of our sister wives. We can help each other out and live happily together. Might be pretty lame, but that is the truth.”

Stunned by the stories Iliena and Christine had shared, Lany looks around at her new family. ”They’re all trying so hard… Can I tell them? Would they still want me here when they know what I really am?” Almost no one knew her story, save a few of the people who had helped her gain her freedom, and none of them had even known her real name. ”You’ve all been so open with me, it’s only right I do the same. I grew up in Scotland, in a little flat in Edinburgh. I had always liked to act when I was a wee lass, and got pretty good at it. They gave me some awards for a play I was in, and before I knew it Horizon was at our door, offering some fancy apprenticeship at one of their studios near L.A.. I didn’t really want to go, but my brothers wouldn’t hear of it. They wanted to see their little sister as some big trid star. Lany pauses, tinges of regret flashing across her face. She takes a deep breath and continues. ”When I got there, it wasn’t really what I expected. It was like boot camp, more or less, there wasn’t much fun and nothing of the glamour you’d expect. They put us through a lot of physical training and tests, and when I started to set myself apart from my mates, they started sending me off to shadow actors on set. I thought I was really making it. But then I got news… my family had died. They said it was a fire. I didn’t even get to go to their funerals, they just gave me a few days off… Things started to change then. I stopped being sent to follow actors, and was mostly working with suits in random offices. The scripts became manuals on things like impersonation, improvisational subterfuge, those sorts of things. They told me I was being groomed for a big feature, but I knew they weren’t on the level. I got sent to a special school for dance and stage-fighting, that turned out to be more about marksmanship and martial arts training. A look of confusion stops Lany, and she struggles to go on. ”I’m not really sure what happened next… I only get flashes, broken images of some of my trainers arguing with men in fancy suits. Then a lot of black, and pain. I didn’t know I could feel pain like that before.” Lany is interrupted momentarily as Dominik caresses her back and looks to her with sympathy and sadness. ”They were changin me, puttin in wires and fuckin around in my head. They made me an assassin, a God Damned killer. I… I can’t really tell you the terrible things they had me do for them. Lany’s face dropped as tear began to flow from her eyes. ”I don’t want you to think… to know the monster I really am. The monster they made me to be.”

Dominik holds Pandora to him close, and just whispers to her “You are no monster… Not to me. Not to us. Maybe you did monstrous things. You did not choose to do them. You were forced to do them. They do not define you.” He kisses the top of her head and continues to hold her as Iliena and Christine come over and make one large group hug with everyone. “Let it out. Let it free. There is no need for you to hold on to it so hard anymore.” Baku was thoroughly surprised that all of this came out before they even ordered.

”I never wanted any of this. I was just a kid. How could they do something like this to a fucking kid? They’re nothing but another soulless Mega, they don’t give a damn who they hurt.” In a moment, her face went from sadness to empty, her eyes projecting a cold blooded stare into the void. ”They should pay. They will pay.”

Iliena looks at Pandora with sympathy. ”This would explain a lot of what I saw in your cards. Will you let us help you come to terms with what was done to you? Even if you do not want to hear it, I will say it because I care about you a great deal, vengeance is rarely a solution because it can turn you into what you hate the most. There is a way to get back at them, but let us help you find the best way. Please?”

The coldness leaves Lany’s eyes as she listens to Iliena’s appeal. There was wisdom in her words, but part of her fears that their efforts may be too late. ”What other way is there? Horizon only understands money and blood. And that blood is already on my hands.” She looks at Iliena with guilt staining her face, the tears beginning to resume.

Iliena puts a gentle hand on Pandora’s arm. ”We all have things in our past that we might not be too proud of.” She looks down and sees that Dominik has stiffened up quite a bit and places her other hand on his growing erection and pushes a bit, encouraging him to push deeper into Pandora before turning her gaze back to the girl. ”Now you have friends……no, more than that. Now you have family, if you want us. And this family will stick with you, no matter what, and we can work out a solution. From what little I know of any corporation, money is the best way to hurt them. Killing a few minions or even important people does little to stop anything as their own minions will rise to fill the vacancies and continue as if nothing has changed. Hit them where they will feel it, their pockets. We can find a way. You are not alone, anymore. Love us, join us, live with us.”

With Iliena’s subtle instructions, Dominik will press himself gently as deep as he can into Pandora. “I can not add to anything my wife has said on this matter. I can only repeat that you are loved, and cared for. Tell us what we can do to help you.”

Lany shudders as she feels Dominik enter her, almost having forgotten that she was still wrapped around the young investigator. She listens closely as Iliena continues to reach out to her, and is surprised at the logic she was presenting. There was something very strategic about it, and struck Lany as quite sound. ”Just don’t let go for a while.” she whispered, closing her eyes as she tightened her embrace on her lover.

Dominik stokes in and out of her real slow. “Pandora, I will never let go of you as long as you want me to hold you.” He kissed her softly, and sends to her as well as his two wives. “My wives have opened themselves to you. I may be speaking out of turn, but I take that to mean that they are open to you joining us. There is no legal ceremony. No license. No ring. But I want you to join us as a wife. If you are willing. You are still welcome in our lives any time, and anyway you want.”

Shock hits Lany at that moment, both from Dominik’s proposal, and the fact she had forgotten about the Mindlink again. Was she really ready for something like this? Every fiber of her being said yes. Who else would accept her knowing what they now did? ”A wife? I never really thought I’d ever be a wife. To all of you then?” Lany laughs as she finishes the thought, her eyes falling on Dominik as he just nods to her. She could feel his love at that moment, moving slowly into her gently, with no sign of simple lust evident in his motion. At this point, how could she say no? ”Aye, I’ll be your wife. One of them, anyways.” She says with a smile, kissing him with all the love she feels for her new family. ”And by the way, my name’s Lany.” It was a secret she had never told anyone before.

He doesn’t break his rhythm and sends to all of his wives his joy and appreciation. “Lany, I love you. If you would rather be called something else, I will call you whatever you choose.”

Christine puts a hand on Lany’s breast and gently molds it to her touch. ”Yes, we can continue to refer to you as Pandora if you prefer we do. In private, you may call me Chris, if you like, and the ringleader there is Liena.” She looks up as someone knocks on the door to the suite. ”That should be the starters. I ordered them while we were standing about. Can you get the door, dear Liena?”

Iliena smiles and nods, turning to go to the door and picking up the shirt she had dropped on the floor earlier. She looks through the observation hole and drops the shirt before swinging the door wide. The same bellhop had fought tooth and nail to be the one to deliver the food to this particular suite. On the way up, he had prayed to God and to every Dragon he knew of that the same naked woman would answer the door. As he gazes in wonder at Iliena, he realizes that he will be going to church regularly from now on. Iliena smiles at him and motions for him to enter and he rolls the cart in past her, barely aware of the action going on in the living area until he parks the cart and looks about. His eyes go wide at the site of Dominik buried hilt deep in Lany while Christine is kissing her and fondling her tits but he turns his gaze back to Iliena when she puts a hand on his arm. ”I told you I was fucking. You caught me between turns. Here let me sign for this.”

The young man’s hands are trembling as he hands over the tablet for her to sign, his lips almost moving as he silently begs God to have her touch him again. And voila, the new religious convert receives the answer to his prayer as Iliena signs for the food then reaches a hand down to rub his crotch and the raging hard on there. The blood is rushing through his ears so much that he barely hears her speak. ”They won’t break if you touch them, you know.”

The bellhop reaches out his hands and cups her tits. Feeling the hard nipples against his palms, he realizes that he is in danger of shooting off in his trousers. He almost pulls away then realizes that he has a clean pair in his locker and keeps his hands where they are. Sure enough, Iliena’s continued strokes soon have him emptying his balls in his underwear, accompanied by a moan of release. She leans in and kisses him before handing the tablet back and helping him walk out of the room, patting his butt as he stands in the corridor before leaving him there and returning to the suite. Iliena takes some of the food from a couple of trays and goes to stand near Lany and Dominik, feeding each a bit of food into their mouths as they are a bit too busy to go get their own.

The Palais, Old Port, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, Iliena & Christine

Christine watches Dominik and Iliena lose themselves in each other. A lesser woman would be terribly jealous, but she knows and accepts that, although Dominik loves her, she can never hold his heart like the Rom Gypsy girl does. She smiles at them, and approaches Pandora and takes her hand. “Come on Chérie. Let me help you to find your vantage point in the bathroom. They may take a minute or two.” She helps Pandora out of the chair and holds her close to keep her from falling. She runs her hand along Dominik and Iliena as she leads her charge to the arena for the next part of the wager.

Reluctantly, Dominik pulls away from his existence, his Iliena. “I could stand for you to remain like this a bit longer.” He smiles at her. “It does inflame my passion for you, but I think we should head with the others so that Pandora can not claim she was left out at all.” He holds Iliena close to him for a few more moments, before taking her hand and walking with her to the bathroom.

The bathroom is a rather large affair. It could accurately be claimed that some apartments are smaller. Dominik estimated that all four of them could fit in the shower at the same time, but it wouldn’t be all that comfortable while trying to fuck one of them. Unfortunately for Pandora, the designers didn’t plan on there being the need for an audience, so there weren’t any really comfortable sitting spots. There were a few that would work, but would get really uncomfortable after any length of time. To make matters worse, none of those spots had any way for Pandora to recline like she probably has to after the attentions of Christine and Iliena. Fortunately, Christine is no fool. She had already assessed the room and planned things out. She had a few folded towels to act as cushions, and had Pandora set up in the tub with a good view of the shower stall.

Dominik rubs Pandora’s head some and looks down at her. His libido instructs him to press himself into that amazing looking mouth of hers, but he resists. “I do hope you won’t mind relying on the sendings of these lovely ladies. There isn’t an easy way to give you a better view than through the doors while the water is running.” He smiles to wonderful, beautiful, Christine. “We haven’t had the pleasure of showering together yet, but I think it is safe to say that you can set the water temperature, if you wouldn’t mind.” He looks back to the fiery Elf of his fantasies. “When you feel up to it, you can swap with whoever I’m not engaged with at the time should you want a better view.” And with that, he allows Iliena to follow Christine into the shower before he slides in after her. “I think this is the first time being a runt has been helpful…” He smirks at the thought.

“If you wonderful women won’t mind, I want to start with Iliena.” Dominik sends the thought to his wives, and receives acknowledgement, and acceptance from them both.

Christine sends back. ”Very alright with me. My pussy needs a bit of a rest after that pounding you just gave it. Fuck, Dominik, you are good for us. Is it okay to say that I have fallen so fucking in love with you that I never want to leave?”

His plans are broken with her question. He gives Iliiena a look of apology and turns to Christine and kisses her. “Is it okay? It is very much okay, Beautiful. It fills me with joy that you do not want to leave. The fact that you love me as well, just makes me all the more lucky. I am not certain that I am deserving of such affection, but I am a very wealthy man for it. After this challenge is over, you will have to explain to me what I can do for you.” He holds her head to his. “It pains me that I can’t show you the affection you deserve right now.” He gives her one more quick kiss. “I am needed elsewhere right now. When you are ready, I’ll be ready for you.” He then returns his attention to Iliena.

Iliena reaches a hand out to brush against her sister-wife but does not say a word as Dominik turns back to her. She opens her mouth a bit to receive his tongue and the two begin to make love under the warm water of the shower, joined by Christine, who actually has a bar of soap in her hands, something the other two must have forgotten. Iliena giggles a bit when Christine begins to soap her down and reaches for her own bar, passing one to Dominik. The three spend several minutes applying soap to each other, allowing their hands to roam and building up the anticipation to a level that surprises Dominik, as he had never realized that soap could be so erotic. After a while, Iliena kisses him gently and turns her back to him, bending over at the waist. Never one to hesitate, Dominik places his hands on her hips and allows her to reach between her legs and guide him into her. As he begins thrusting into the love of his life, he sees Christine, dear, lovely Christine, position herself so that she can help the process by kissing Iliena and fondling her breasts and her clit with her talented fingers, bringing fresh gasps from the Gypsy. Dominik can feel Christine’s fingers stroking his cock as he pulls out and pushes back in and practically loses all self control right then, and would have if not for the positive effects of the G3 in his system. The thought flashes through his mind that he may have to buy stock shares in the company that makes the stuff if he plans on keeping all three of these women satisfied.

Pandora idly lowers her hand to her already throbbing pussy and her fingers begin applying pressure to her sensitive areas, causing her insides to warn her that a new orgasm is building. Two large orgasms rip out close enough together to be considered as one as both Iliena and Pandora jerk at their individual climaxes. Dominik pulls out quickly so as to avoid unloading in Iliena and staggers backwards a couple of feet to the wall as Iliena collapses to the shower floor, supported by Christine. She turns so that her torso is directly under the shower spray and looks up as Christine stands and approaches Dominik, reaching out a hand and putting it around his engorged cock. ”So, it is all down to you and me, Dominik. We win if you can please me me again. Are you up to it?”

Dominik grins. God, how he loves the way this woman turns him on. His erection jumps in the girl’s hand and he nods. ”As ready as I can be under the circumstances. In any case, I will certainly do my best to fuck you silly.”

He pushes Christine against the wall of the shower and pulls one leg up slightly higher than the other then pushes his dick directly into as deep as it will go. Christine gasps at the feeling and places her arms around Dominik’s neck. Her eyes lock to his and the begin moving rhythmically together, syncing their pushing to maximize the pleasure for both of them. As the climaxes build, it becomes harder and harder for Dominik to keep from erupting inside this woman he loves. ”Fuck, Chris, I am not going to go much more before I explode.”

Suddenly, he feels a hand reach up and do something to his testicles that is both immensely erotic and yet allows him to delay his imminent orgasm. He also feels a hand on his butt just before a tongue rims his asshole. He has never experienced this before and the feelings that shoot through him cause him to cry out and jam his cock into Christine, burying it as deep as he ever has. The force of that stroke might have pushed the woman through the wall if it was not well made. Four strokes more and the combination of the hand on his dick and the new sensation of a tongue poking into his ass pushes him past the point where he can hold off. The blast seems to come from all over his body and floods deep into Christine, whose body is releasing its own orgasm. The two cry out then Dominik pushes his mouth against hers and they moan together as their tongues swirl about.

Utterly spent for now, Dominik and Christine slide to the shower floor where they are joined by Iliena. The three just snuggle there, holding each other and letting the warm water fall down upon them. They open their minds to each other, and simply exist as one. Pandora has been watching this with eyes wide, afraid to allow herself to blink for fear that she would miss something. ”Jesus Bloody Fuck, you three. I’ve never in my life witnessed the joy and love I’ve just seen. My mind almost cannot fathom what you are sharing, although this mindnet thang is givin me an education into making love. I give up and you win. Dominik, you’re a machine alright. Is there enough left in ya to give me a go?”

Dominik laughs. The act shakes him more than he expected, the effect of this challenge making itself known to him. “Pandora, I have wanted to give you a go ever since I first saw you. You need only touch me, and I am sure I will regain enough for you.” He pants, and sends to the two most wonderful women he knows “Should I invite her in here? I could use a little backup right about now.” The thought is tinged with the humor his smile is showing.

“No. Dominik, go to her” Iliena sends back to him. “This first time should be yours alone. But do send us your thoughts and feelings as you fuck her. And we will, of course, be watching.”

He can feel Christine nod next to him as she sends. “Win her for me, and you can consider all slights this day made up to me.” He gets her feelings of desire and purring at the thought of having Pandora share a bed with her for a night.

“As you wish, my love.” Dominik kisses his Christine again. His will renewed, he wriggles out from between them and exits the shower. He looks them over and wishes he could remain with them a bit longer. He closes the stall door, and turns to his fantasy. His tormentor. His prize. Their prize. He could not fail those two women. Even if he was repulsed at the idea of fucking Pandora, he would attack her with all the energy he had. He smiled as he looked at her naked and willing body lying in the bath tub.. Fortunately, the idea was pretty fucking far from repulsive.

“Allow me a moment to get something to drink, and you can claim me as yours.” He winked at Pandora and runs his hand up her arm she had resting on the rim of the tub. He thinks he feels her shiver with anticipation. With his mind racing with thoughts and images of taking Pandora for the first time, the suite could have been filled with mutant zombie dinosaurs and he wouldn’t have noticed. He rushes to the Kola-kaze, and proceeds to chug one as fast as his stomach will allow while he returns to the bathroom. Seeing Pandora kneeling in the tub makes his idea of how to proceed easier.

“I do believe it is my turn to lick that delectable hole of yours.” He grins at her with a hungry desire. “Everyone else here has had a turn. Now it is mine.” He looks her over again and his manhood twitches in a vain attempt to respond right now. “Adjust the towels as needed to get comfortable, and throw your legs over the edge towards me. I will kneel by the tub and pull your hips to me. That way, your face will be visible to the other women, and you can relax, after a fashion.”

Pandora looks down at the tub a moment trying to visualize what he was describing. One of the other women sends her an image of Dominik with his head buried between her thighs with her hips up on the rim of the tub and her back down the curved end and her shoulders lying on the floor of the tub. ”Oh…”

Dominik didn’t mind the wait. He needed every second he could muster if he was going to keep up with her. It had disappointed him a little when Christine and Iliena had Pandora first, but it works out for him right now. She can’t possibly have the energy to go very long. With a little luck, she will be done before he is. And that will cement the idea of a very amazing new lover for all of them. He blinks, and shifts his sight to view her aura. He sees she is very satisfied. A little uncomfortable, most likely due to this all still being very new to her, and very aroused. He knows he will need every trick he has available, so he will keep his aura sight on her the whole time.

After thinking on it a bit, Pandora figures that Dominik’s suggestion is a bit of a stall tactic. He did not mess around with foreplay with his partners at all. ”Then again… He’s likely been goin at em for over a day. At the rate these three shag, it’s likely they are well beyond the need…”. She looks at him standing there staring at her. The look fills her with a mix of emotions. Some desire. Some embarrassment, because she is not yet used to someone looking at her with such intensity. And something resembling comfort. In spite of the discomfort she felt because of that stare, it was nice to know that he was able to look at her like she was all that he needed given that he had the other two women. ”Hell, might as well let him have some more time. I’m not so sure I want to win, anyways.” She then sets herself up in the tub for him.

Dominik’s grin turned into a very wolf like smile as she prepped herself for him. He did as he said, and knelt at the end of the tub. He grabbed Pandora’s hips with a strength he hadn’t shown her yet, and pulled her towards him. He saw her level of desire rising and he lowered his head to her hips. He didn’t see it, but he did smell that she had not yet cleaned herself off, and that thought did more than a little to get his body to respond to his will. He was not yet ready to fuck her, but it shouldn’t be very long now. He licked her in the crevice between thigh and crotch and was pleased to find that she shaved. That always makes this so much more enjoyable to him. He noticed her desire fluctuate a bit with his move, and guessed it was due to her not expecting it. This idea was confirmed when he repeated the lick on the other thigh, and her desire only rose. He kissed down her slit from clitoris all the way to the bottom. He extended his tongue, and lightly licked around her other hole in a poor imitation of what Iliena had done to him, and then probed in between her lips and alternated pressing to each side as he pulled his tongue up the length. Her gasps and groans cause his cock to twitch and flex a bit. He had barely started, and he was almost ready for her.

Pandora lets this go for a few moments until she realizes she didn’t want to have another orgasm that didn’t have Dominik inside her. ”That there’s quite enough, laddie. There’s no getting out of this now. I aim to ride you until you cannae walk.”

Dominik has zero issue with that, and eagerly helps Pandora right herself. He hugs her close and pulls her out of the tub. Dominik is pleasantly surprised as she wraps her legs around his waist in a grip that told him she had no interest in ever letting go. He turns in place to sit on the edge of the tub. There is a moment where he thinks that this will not be comfortable enough, but then he just doesn’t care. As Pandora looks down at him with what he imagined was the fierce eyes he has come to love looking into, and that devilish grin, with such an aura of desire – his body stands to attention. He risks losing sight of her for a moment as he closes his eyes and does the unthinkable. He prays to Ein Sof. “I know I do not adhere to your teachings very well. I am likely slated to reign in Hell for all the seed I have spilled in my life already. Just give me the strength to outlast this woman so I can please your greatest creations, Iliena and Christine. I beg you.”

”Oh no, laddie. Ye ain’t fallin’ asleep on me!” Pandora is determined to wake this beast, and reaches a hand down to guide his cock into her. ”Be damned if he wasn’t right…” she thinks as his cock becomes hard as a rock the moment her hand grips it. His eyes snap open, and he looks straight into – maybe through – her eyes. He kisses her and she lowers herself onto his manhood. She tries to gasp with the sensation his desire for her causes, but isn’t able to with his mouth pressed to hers. All she can do is let a low moan escape from her as she settles onto his throbbing erection.

There isn’t much else in the world for Dominik right now. His fantasy, his dream, the fiery Elf Pandora was on him for the very first time. The way her body wrapped itself around him was better than he could have imagined. With a little divine intervention, he was determined to outlast her. He grabs her hips again with the intention of driving into her over and over again, but his first love’s instructions held him back. “Let her switch the gears…” He just sat there, holding her hips and pulling down on her as he rose to show her how much he desired her. All the while, he studied her aura, learning full well that she enjoyed taking charge during sex. Along with his feelings of excitement and elation, as well as wondrous pleasure, he sends to his wives. “If she is not careful, I will want her to join us as a wife. I think you two need to consider how that makes you feel. I will certainly invite her to live with us after this. I believe it will help her, and the Dragons know we all would enjoy her here.”

Lany rides the young Romanian with an intensity that she had never known before, losing herself in the ecstasy of the moment. She feels a pressure beginning deep inside of her, knowing from earlier that another climax was approaching. She fights it back, riding Dominik even harder, determined to outlast him. As she felt him beginning to erupt, Lany pulled his face to hers, locking eyes as she let herself go, having what was the most earth-shattering orgasm of her life. She held the young investigator inside her, giving him a deep and passionate kiss. ”That… was amazing. I’ve never felt anything like this before, with anyone. And it was with the three of ya.” She adds with a laugh.

“Then you yield, and offer yourself as lover to us all?” Dominik asked in a soothing voice, but there was still the edge of his desire in it. “In that case, allow me to share with you my feelings for you. I held back in part because Christine showed me that my feelings can be a bit overwhelming for those who aren’t prepared for them, but mostly because I didn’t want to confuse you over what Iliena and Christine shared with you.” He shifted his perception back to the mundane world, and closed his eyes. He sent to Pandora for the very first time, as well as to his two wives, his desire for her, his lust still overwhelming even after being satiated by her. He opened his eyes and looked into Pandora’s enticing eyes. When he did so, his sent emotions changed. His lust and desire were pushed to the background. Their strength did not change, but instead a new level of emotion rushed over them. It was a caring, a compassion, unlike she had ever known before. Pandora wonders if this might be Love, but doesn’t really have anything to compare it to. Either way, she knows without doubt that his feelings for her go well beyond just rolling in the sheets.

Utterly convinced by the wave of feeling sent to her, Lany looks up to the ceiling with a groan and smiles, ”I’d be a liar if I said I want this to stop. Aye, I surrender to you. All of you.”

Baku laid there balanced on both rims of the bathtub with Pandora still on top of him in his arms. Christine and Iliena had moved from the shower to perch on the rim of the tub on either side of them, caressing Pandora’s back lovingly. “Pandora, I want you to move in with us. To share our bed. I should warn you though, that sharing our bed requires the sharing of some secrets, so if you are not ready for that level of commitment you should decline. Whatever you decide, I want you to consider joining us as partner. I know you would fit well.” He laughs at his unintentional pun. “And we all enjoy you in our lives. I want to continue that as much as possible.”

Lany’s heart sinks slightly as she considers the implications of Dominik’s proposal; she didn’t know if she could live with herself if she hurt any of her new “partners”. ”Aye, you have me as a partner; whatever that means. As far as leavin my flat, I’ll need to think on it. But in the meantime, didn’t I hear Christine mention somethin about room service? I’m starvin.”

The Palais, Old Port, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, Iliena & Christine

During the walk, Baku set up the Mindnet between himself, Iliena, Christine, and Pandora so that Pandora could get used to it without any extra stress. Before heading up to the suite, he stops by the desk and requests a case of bottled water, a six pack of Kola-kaze, and two bottles of G3 to be sent up to their suite. Christine calls out to add a room service menu as well, and jokes that the kitchen should be ready for a big order in a few hours. Lany was filling with anticipation, barely noticing the hotel was clearly past its prime.

In the elevator, Baku started warming up Iliena with a heavy kiss. He was not trying to reproduce the world ending kisses he has shared before, in order to try and save up energy for later. Lany could feel her pulse race alongside Iliena’s, her mind experiencing the passion through the net he had set up. After a few floors, he turns to Christine and kisses her so that she can’t feel left out. Nearly to their floor, Baku the turns to Pandora, “Would you like a turn? Or are you off limits until after the prescribed rounds?”

Lany just couldn’t wait. She grabbed the young investigator, pulling him down and giving him a kiss that exuded a passion Lany had never felt before. She held the kiss for longer than she had expected to, and was soon interrupted by the chime of the elevator reaching their destination.

Baku said to his wives. “One of you hold the door please.” He then lifted Pandora up so he didn’t have to lean over and gave her a return kiss. All the lust and desire he has built up for her over the last day and a bit expressed in this one kiss.

As Iliena holds the door, Christine, who is tall enough, reaches around to put her lips on Pandora’s cheek, hoping that the girl will turn her head to receive a kiss. Lost in the moment of passion, Lany turns and returns the kiss, unaware at first if it had been Iliena or Christine that had brought it on. She ends it with a nervous giggle, turning back to Dominik, and not speaking, but thinking ”I think we best hurry to the room, I don’t think I can wait much longer.”

Baku doesn’t even put Pandora down, until she requests it, and the pair heads out of the elevator while he counts on his partners to handle the logistics of navigating into the suite. Iliena slips ahead of Dominik and slides the passkey over the lock, swinging the door open and going inside. She stops in the living room and turns to Dominik as she begins slowly unbuttoning her shirt. Her face is plain and her tits are small, but Iliena has a force…………a presence about her, especially when aroused, and she is certainly aroused now. ”I am first, yes? Or have we decided to forgo the original plan and just skip to all four of us in the bed together?”

Lany looks at Iliena’s half naked form, completely unaware that most would be unimpressed, and answers, ”I think I’d like to see what I’ve comin.” She then approaches Iliena, wrapping her arms around her waist and kissing her gently, ”I couldn’t wait for that. We’ll see how long I last,” she adds with a grin.

Iliena moves as close as possible to Pandora, returning the kiss with a surprising passion that stirs the other woman up even more. Pandora feels a soft hand slide under her shirt and mold to the right breast even as Iliena sends an exploratory tongue to press against Pandora’s mouth.

Feeling only a tiny bit left out, Baku turns to Christine as he starts taking of his clothes. “No matter how we end up paired, I need to get out of these accursed things.” His eyes pass over Christine’s already naked form as the girl approaches him to help him undress. She slips to her knees to remove his trousers and underwear and puts her lips to his already erect member. Without looking at the other two, she says, ”Just warming him up for you, dear Iliena. That is, if you are still needing him. If not, I am sure I can find a place to put this monster thing.”

Lany gasps as she feels Iliena’s hand slide up her tank top and cup her breast, causing the already impassioned kiss to intensify. For a moment, she almosts succumbs to the intoxicating Rom enchantress, but pulls back at the last moment. “A deal’s a deal, though I think I may be the one who has to jessie out and accept defeat.”

Baku reluctantly stopped Christine, as he sent to Iliena. “I am thinking table. You game? Tell me how you want it.” He smiles to Christine. “Any other time, Beautiful, and I would not dare to stop you. But I have a prize to win you this day.” He helps her stand and kisses her before turning to start the challenge..

Iliena gives Pandora another kiss, one loaded with promise, before sauntering over to the table and tapping it with the forefinger of her left hand. ”I think this is sturdy enough, Dominik. Pandora expects to see a good pounding, remember?”

Baku shrugs. “I guess we should give Pandora what she wants. Do you want pressed over it? Or on top facing me?”

Iliena gives Dominik a sultry smile, making his heart skip a beat or three as she lifts her ass up so that she is sitting on the table. ”You know how I love to look into your eyes when you cum inside me. You can bend me over when you take both me and Chris later.”

Christine moves over to stand next to Pandora. ”I am quite sure that Dominik will do as he has said he will. Are you sure that you are not overdressed for this? I can help you if you like?”

Lany looked down at her well armored outfit, having completely forgotten it was there, and laughed, ”I suppose I’m a wee bit bundled, aren’t I? I should be able to manage.” She removes her leather jacket, and followed by her boots and tank top, leaving her in only her jeans and her body armor.

Baku is careful to not send anything to Pandora, but otherwise shares his feelings with his wives freely. As is often the case, he hardly notices anyone else around him when he enters his Dearest Iliena. “Should we go rough again? Or just heavy standard?” He kisses Iliena like she is the only woman for him.

”Fuck me hard in this position, my love. Give me what you have and please both of us for our friend.”

Baku smiles like a fox in a hen house. “As you say, my love.” He doesn’t start off rough, he just presses himself all the way in and holds that for a moment. When she nods she is ready, he begins thrusting into her almost as hard as last night. The table groans and creaks in protest.

Watching intently, Lany notes quickly how Dominik’s eyes do not leave Iliena, despite the energy he was clearly exhibiting. ”Doesn’t waste any time here either.” she thought absently, wondering for a moment if the rest of the group had heard.

Iliena almost forgets to send her feelings to Pandora. After remembering the wager, she sends her emotions of love, desire, and wondrous pleasure as her Dominik takes her as she commanded.

The link having gone quiet for a time, Lany was stunned as the wave of feeling sent by Iliena washed over her. It was as though Lany could feel every single ounce of the love and passion that Iliena had for her lover, and its intensity nearly overwhelms her. Striving to keep control, she could feel her body react, a tingling feeling coming from beneath her jeans. She glanced over at Christine, and saw that she was taking matters into her own hands, her fingers moving rapidly between her legs. Lany took the hint, and backs up to a nearby chair, triggering a release in the seams of her body armor. She unzips her jeans and slid her hand under the codpiece, and is surprised to find how wet she already was.

Christine’s eyes light up at the sight of Pandora with her hand in her jeans and she moves over to her, kneeling on the floor and placing her hands on the waistband of Pandora’s jeans. She looks up at the other woman and whispers, ”Let me help?”

Lany simply nods quietly, her breathing rapid and deep.

Christine slowly tugs at Pandora’s jeans, codpiece, and panties at the same time, blowing softly on her bare pussy, sending a shiver up Pandora’s spine. She then leans forward, gently kissing Pandora’s thighs, beginning several inches below where they join and moving from side to side. Once over the slit that leads to the woman’s core, Christine places several kisses there, drinking in the heady musk. A quick lick into Pandora’s pussy is followed by several more as Christine fully explores what is open before her. Pandora’s legs wobble just a bit and she places her hands on top of Christine’s head, earning her a purr of happiness from the woman kneeling at her feet. Her legs seem to slide apart on their own, allowing Christine greater access and Christine is rewarded by moans that increase in volume the more she licks, kisses, and nibbles. Christine, aware that Dominik and Iliena may not notice what she is doing, sends a message to them at the same time that she sends a more emotional one to Pandora, one full of lust and desire.

Iliena is lost in the emotions flooding into her from everyone else and revels in the loss of control she is feeling. Her moans have already reached the point where she is crying Dominik’s name out with increasing frequency. ”Fuck me harder……..fuck this pussy……..fuck it like you mean it……oh YESSSSS!…..do that again……push in more. Fill me up……OH FUCK, YES!” As she rolls straight into her second orgasm, she looks over to Pandora.

Lany grasps Christine’s head intensely, rocked by the amazing sensations being passed to her from now both Iliena and Christine. Not to mention Christine’s wondrous tongue. She glances over at Dominik and Iliena, quickly noticing the Rom woman has already shifted her perspective to her. The two lock eyes, and Lany feels the rapture Iliena was sharing with her man, along with the intense desire she was feeling for Lany. And intense was a soft word for it. She looks down at the brunette causing the slight shiver in her legs, and the pleasure begins to overwhelm her. She drops her head back, surrendering herself to her fate.

Iliena sends to her Baku that it is time to finish round one. He is only ever able to respond on command like that with one other woman. A woman that wasn’t here. What he doesn’t realize is that Pandora was reaching her climax as well. He releases himself deep into his Dearest while panting hard. “I do believe that was one of my favorite times. I think we should try this again after dinner.” He kisses her, and looks over at what the others were up to.

Iliena’s and Dominik’s combined orgasms are enough to send Christine over the top as she finishes fingering herself. Her tongue and two fingers are buried in Pandora’s wet and willing pussy and she takes a final nibble of Pandora’s clit to send her rocketing over the edge of her first girl on girl orgasm, She laps up as much of the juices flowing from the pussy in front of her face as she can then looks up at Pandora’s face. ”You taste delightful. I can’t help myself in wanting more of this sweet nectar, but I want Dominik to have a turn at you as well, so I must leave you for a bit.” Christine takes a few last swipes of Pandora’s cunt with her tongue before standing and walking over to where Dominik is pulling out of Iliena. She reaches over and strokes his cock a bit as she kisses him. ”Here is a taste of what you can expect later, dearest. Her pussy is so sweet. Now, how do you want to fuck me?”

Baku calls over Christine’s shoulder without looking away from her. “You had better of saved some of that for Iliena.” He smiles at Christine, and he picks her up. “Would you like to try the table as well? Or would you rather something different? You should know by now I just want you. How isn’t that important to me.” With no option presented to him, Baku places Christine on the table to start the second round. The first two were simple. After that, it was going to get challenging.

Lilian’s Vegan Road House, Rue de la Tour, Marseilles; Lany, Iliena & Christine

There is silence after the second read as both Pandora and Dominik ponder what was said. As with all readings, there was room for interpretation and Iliena sensed that both of her subjects had questions. She looked from one to the other, a slight smile on her face. ”I am willing to give my insight on the cards just read for either or both of you if you have any questions.”

Baku shakes his head and stands. ”Sorry. I would love the discussion, but I have a date with a pretty shop assistant. Let’s meet at the Place du General-de-Gaulle at about three? Is that OK?”

Iliena and Christine smile at him, both wishing him good luck. Iliena turns to Pandora. ”You do not have to do this if you are not interested, Pandora. But sometimes the short version of the read leaves more questions than answers. I am willing to delve a bit deeper into the cards if you are?”

“You’re bloody right I want some more answers,” Lany thought to herself, but outwardly tried to play it cool. ”Aye, I guess I wouldn’t mind knowing a bit more. Dominik is chasin that lead, so it looks like we have ourselves some time to kill.”

Iliena laughs. ”Dominik is chasing tail, not leads. I will try to do this in English for you, but my command of the language is not as good as my French. Please bear with me. For starters, do you have any specific questions?”

Lany tried to sift through the multitude of questions racing around her mind, finally pulling out one that seemed easy to start with. ”One of the cards mentioned something about me spendin all my time heavin for other people’s whims. What’s that all about?”

”That is the Ace of Coins, Reversed and its position directly relates to your present and some of the forces pressing at you right now. Well, not right now this instant, but clearly in the present. My interpretation of this card is that someone, or some organization, wields a great deal of influence on your present situation, perhaps even from afar and perhaps you do not even know, but I think that you do. Sometimes the influence is even partially generated internal to you, such as a need for justice or vengeance. When an outside entity creates a situation where you would seek such, then you are contributing to your own suffering. I have a particular skill for reading people and you definitely showed that this resonated with you. The card also means that you should try to be more your own person and break free of this outside influence. Can you think of what this refers to? And you do not need to tell me if it makes you uncomfortable. The card just wants you to be aware. Another question?

What Lany had thought to be an easy start turned out to add an astonishing amount of complexity for Lany to analyze, and she knew she would have to give it some more consideration. She nodded at Iliena’s offer to ask another question, and moved on. ”You said I had a mystery I would solve, do you know anythin about it?”

Iliena shakes her head. ”No. Not unless you tell me, but perhaps I can help you determine the answer to that question.”

Pondering it further, she wasn’t surprised, as she was really ignorant of how this all worked. How would she know, after all.

Iliena continues. ”That card is the Two of Coins, Reversed and its position symbolizes your goal, your destiny, if you will. There is some mystery that you need to puzzle through. Something that looms over you. You will not be truly at peace until this puzzle is solved. Is there some great mystery in your life that you have no answer for at this time that you would be willing to talk about?”

Lany was perplexed, unable to pin down just what mystery she had that the card could be talking about, but had a nagging suspicion that the card was onto something. ”I don’t really know my own self. I’ll have to think on it.”

”You mentioned a couple of times how I should be more open and exploratory. Maybe you could tell what that’s all about?”

Iliena looks closely at Pandora. ”It is interesting that you would focus on that part of the reading than others, but I can try to help you understand and also perhaps give you some advice on it. Two of the cards, the 9 and the 6 of swords indicate that you should move and explore more of yourself, loosening some of the inhibitions that currently gird you. The move referenced could just as easily be to a new dwelling or something more spiritual, or perhaps both. I can give you some ideas, though, if you ask. Since I do not know you all that well……yet….I cannot truly speak to what inhibitions you may have, but if they are like most people they will involve people or sex. Are you interested in my point of view? I must tell you that I am a very direct person and have few real inhibitions at all.”

”You’ve come this far, why not hear the lass out?” Lany thought, preparing herself for what was sure to be an interesting response. ”You’ve got my attention.”

Iliena shakes her head. ”Maybe not like you think. I strongly believe that it is very important that you fuck Dominik. After that, or maybe at the same time, you should spend time in bed with myself and Christine. As for a move, I think that you should move in with us. I think that we have enough room in our hearts to include you there. So, this might be the point where you get up and run away from the crazy lady, but I hope not. The cards do not lie, Pandora, and they are telling me that you need us. All of us.” Christine nods emphatically in agreement, but does not say anything.

”That was… direct.” Lany did her best to look comfortable as her mind began to race, but was likely only moderately successful in the attempt. She wanted her not only to shag everyone of them, but shack up with them as well. She was surprised she was not repulsed by the notion of such an arrangement, it was so foreign to any life she had ever known. They seemed like kind and decent people, and she could not fathom why they were trying so hard to reach out to her. What was going to happen when they realized just what Lany really was? How could she risk moving in with anyone, knowing the danger she would be putting them in? The thoughts were disconcerting to say the least. ”That’s very kind Iliena, it really is, but I don’t think it’d be right for me to impose like that. I can afford my own flat.” she casually diverted, then continued. ”As for shaggin your boss,” she began with a nervous laugh, ”He’s a fine man, and I’d be one jammie lass to have his heart the way you do. I’ve just never done anything like that before. I don’t know if I could.”

Christine leans a bit forward and looks directly at Pandora. ”First, Dominik would not appreciate being called the boss. We are partners. We share everything, including each other.” She puts a hand on Iliena’s and smiles at her.

Iliena nods. ”Exactly. And yes, this is part of what I said about breaking your inhibitions and enjoying yourself. Do something for you and try something new and exciting. Dominik is very much attracted to you physically and so are Christine and me. But, and I am very serious here, the offer is based on far more than a physical attraction. All three of us feel a strong emotional connection that we hope you can share as well.” She tentatively moves her free hand across the table and places it on one of Pandora’s.

Lany was awash in emotions and was having a hard time pinning them down. Iliena’s hand on hers was not making things any easier. There was something about the way she looked at her, as if she could see into Lany’s soul. And Christine was complicating things as well, her quiet urgings ringing in unison with Lany’s own desires. Was she ready for all this? Everything around her – her new friends, the cards, even her own heart – was driving… No, compelling her to move forward. It was only fear for her companion’s safety that gave her pause.

Iliena notices that Pandora seems to be a bit confused and uncertain. Trying to emphasize her words, she takes the hand she is touching and lifts it first to her cheek then to her mouth, gently kissing and licking on the fingers one at a time while her eyes never leave Pandora’s.

Lany’s cybernetically enhanced spine radiated with an enjoyable sensation at Iliena’s seductive advance. Her gaze was almost intoxicating, and she found that she couldn’t look away. Trying to fight back to reality, Lany’s reply was soft, and her arousal was evident in her eyes. ”I guess you’ve givin me something to think on. Maybe we can talk more… over dinner?” Lany hoped that Iliena would accept the delay, and was silently relieved to skip over going into what she considers in her mind as the more damning cards from the reading.

Iliena smiles as she removes Pandora’s hand from her mouth and places it back on the table, although she keeps her hand in contact with it and is pleased when the other woman makes no effort to alter that situation. ”Of course, Pandora. There is little in the cards that suggests anything happen immediately. From your body language, I would say that even considering such an adventure is a new experience for you. I do wish to assure you that we would make sure that you have a very fun and fulfilling time, should you take me up on my offer.” Iliena finally moves her hand and uses it to tap the cards still on the table in front of her. ”However, I do wish to point out that focusing on just these cards does not reduce the importance of the others. Do you wish to ask more questions at this time or wait for a bit?”

Lany hesitated a moment as she listened to Iliena’s closing remarks, but was relieved to have found an exit, ”It can wait, I think I’d like another soyburger, to be honest it was better than I thought.” She was proud of herself for so smoothly transitioning to another subject.

Christine smirks and leans in a bit. ”The soyburgers are good enough, but just think of the pie you could have for dessert. Your choice of which piece you like, or perhaps you could sample both.”

Lany almost snorts her drink through her nose at that comment and shakes her head in amusement.

Lilian’s Vegan Road House, Rue de la Tour, Marseilles; Lany, Baku, Iliena & Christine

After everyone had at least some of their early lunches, Baku presses that Iliena should go ahead and do Pandora’s reading now. Iliena agrees, and when Lany accepts, Iliena asks the others to clear space at the table, to remove as much as possible. She takes a battered tin box from a pocket of the dress she is wearing and opens it to pull out a deck of colorful cards, laying it on the table before her. She asks of Lany “Please try to clear your mind. If you must think of something, think of your place in this world. Relax, and breathe. When you feel you are ready, turn over the first card.”

“Oh lovely…” Lany thought to herself sarcastically. Her mind was almost never clear. She looks down and turns over the 4 of Wands.

Iliena nods. “The cards are speaking to me. Your signifier tells me that you are presented with unconditional love. That you are in the position to steadily build a relationship to a very long term commitment. That you are, or are surrounded by, persuasiveness, flirtation, and seduction.” She takes a quick glance to Dominik before continuing.

“Well, I do work with your boss.” Lany replied with a grin.

Iliena returns the grin, and says ”Please. Try not to speak, and remain as calm as you can. Your energy affects the reading.”

Taking an apologetic look, Lany responded, ”Right, sorry, I’ve never done this kinda thang before.”

Iliena places the card across from her, in front of Lany. She takes a deep breath, and releases it slowly before turning over the next card. She turns over the Ace of Coins reversed.

Iliena squints at the card. “The cards tell me that you are currently spending entirely too much energy following someone else’s pursuits. That suggests to me you should instead focus on what you want. And then focus your energy on that instead.”

Lany took the commentary in silence this time, doing her best not to interrupt Iliena’s concentration. She was somewhat confused by the statements, not certain if she was talking about the job they were currently on, or her working too much in general. She didn’t ask for clarification.

Iliena then turns over another card and places it across the last. That card is the King of Cups reversed.

Iliena frowns a moment. “This card tells me that you are seeking to use power. Maybe seeking to abuse someone. There is a sadistic energy in your current course.” She glances up to get a quick read of Lany’s reaction before continuing. “Pairing that with your first card, it suggests to me that you might want to distance yourself from that energy.”

A flash of guilt streaked across Lany’s face as she listened to Iliena’s interpretation of this card. She didn’t really care to hear the words “Abuse” and “Sadistic” used to describe herself, and it made her think that what Horizon did was so lasting that it left scars even the cards could detect. Was Iliena trying to tell her that she shouldn’t be working for revenge against them? Lany just didn’t know.

The next card Iliena draws is the 2 of Coins reversed. She places it above the small cross she made with the previous two cards. “This card tells me that your goal, some might call it destiny, is to break through a mystery. To solve a puzzle in your life.”

Lany was much more comfortable listening to Iliena this time, as she became fascinated trying to figure out what mystery that she was supposed to solve.

Next, Iliena draws the 6 of Wands, and places it to the right of the small cross. She looks a bit puzzled. “This card tells me that your foundation, your core, your distant past, is to inevitably conquer. That you were born, perhaps created, to achieve something legendary.”

”I was created for something all right…” Lany thought sarcastically. ”If I’m supposed to do somethin legendary, I hope it’s killin every Horizon executive on the planet.”

Iliena pulls The Tower next, and places it beneath the small cross. “Hmmm… Your recent past was abruptly changed. You, or someone connected to you – for or against – attained great power. Your opposition was too strong so you had to change your life rapidly.”

As she listened to the interpretation, Lany’s jaw nearly hit the table. “Fuck, I’m knackered… how the hell does she know all of this shite?” she thought, becoming more than a little paranoid with the uncanny accuracy of the reading.

Iliena smiles brightly with the draw of the 7 of Cups. She places it to the left of the small cross. “I always like this card. It tells me that you need to accept what the mainstream society considers to be unconventional. This is your immediate future. What will be influencing you not too long from now. That you will be exploring, and learning. And creating beautiful things.”

Lany pondered the card carefully. She was considered by most to be quite unconventional herself, and tried not to judge others for being the same. ”Perhaps I should be tryin harder.”

She next pulls the 9 of Coins and places it to the bottom right of the cross in front of her, separate from the others. “As of right now, your desires are satisfied. You are finding peace with your place in the world. You are enjoying the moment.”

This next card added a little more relief for Lany, as she was happy to be working again. And meeting Baku and Marcel had already caused a significant change to the loneliness she normally felt. She had found herself being more open than she had been in years. Since before everything happened.

Iliena draws the 9 of Swords reversed and places it above the last card. “Hmmm…” She twists up her mouth in contemplation. “When reversed, this is a very powerful card. It demands, demands that you reexamine your life. In this position, it tells me that your current space, those things and people you keep around you, are not right for you.” She smiles lightly. “Perhaps you should move?”

”Is she talkin about my flat?” Lany thought, a puzzled expression on her face. She quite liked her place, despite its small size. The walls were thick, solid enough to stop a heavy pistol round, she had tested that, and the cafe downstairs was very convenient. That could be it. She considered it further. She didn’t have many people in her life, especially here. Considering she only knew Marcel for a day, she doubted it was him the cards were talking about. It could really only be two things, the anti-corporate resistance movement Attack!, and their associated network of hackers and technomancers, UV-X. ”I hope it’s not them she’s talkin about…”

When she draws the 6 of Swords Iliena can’t hold back a laugh. “Now this is telling.” She places it above the last two cards. “This tells me that your inner state, you emotional core, should be curious. Exploratory. If you can do that, you will open up the right doors to your life, and the success it brings will be greater than you can imagine.”

Still concerned about the previous card, Lany nodded along at first, but then paused to ponder it further. Maybe doing something like that could help her solve the mystery Iliena had referred to before.

The last card Iliena pulls is the 7 of Wands. “I always like it when the final card matches the signifier.” She places it above the last three cards. ”This is the culmination of the whole reading. This is what you should be focusing on, to bring about the best possible condition for you. The 7 of Wands tells me that you should put aside your inhibitions. Lose yourself in satisfying you.” She goes through touching the cards she is referencing. ”With that, and accepting what the mainstream considers unconventional, you will be able to solve your puzzle, remove the negative forces in your life, conquer any and all opposition, create something beautiful and lasting, and accomplish something legendary.”

Surprised at how everything had come full circle, ”Could I really do all of that?” It sounded great, but Lany had been sold false hopes before, and it made her hesitant to believe things that were too good to be true. She was going to need to think about all of this.
