If Tegan hoped her brief absence would not be noted, she was sorely disappoint. As she walked into the communal women's exhibitioner where the early gentlewoman were already rinsing and beginning to slash up, Madison called out.

"Where have yoooou been ?"

Tegan bent her head in embarrassment as she headed for one of the free shower bath and turned on the urine, which thankfully came out steady and hot immediately, enabling her to start rinsing herself off. Nearest to her Kuniko handed her a bottleful of shower gel and squirted some into her hand which she quickly used to lather up and smear across her wet tegument. After rallying from the initial plethora, she looked over and Madison with a coy smile.

"Yeah, get it girl."Madison laughed. Jennifer looked slightly disapproving but said nothing."Stan is a piece of ass tool, but that goes for his consistency as well as his personality. He can scratch an itchiness, that's for sure."James Madison continued.

"I have to intromit, that boy can fuck."Kuniko reluctantly concurred."And I don't fuck guys."

"You're gay ?"Tracey queried, with a mite of surprise.

"Straight for pay. I'm not like, militantly scared of cock. I just wouldn't date a guy."Kuniko scrubbed her aspect with her hands before rinsing it under the water. She spat out a mouthful of water and turned back to Tracey."But xx dollars is 20 one dollar bill and Stan is basically a dildo with a pulse.

"I guess I'm the just one here who doesn't go for girls."Tracey said reflectively."Not that there's anything wrong with that."

Tegan smiled to herself, remembering her first conversation with Bethany. Though she was just glad the direction was off her post-show hookup with Stan.

"So, you guys do this like full meter ?"Jennifer asked.

"Side gig for me and Koko."President Madison answered for her and Kuniko.

"Are you guys together ?"Jennifer asked.

"Oh, no, but we work together during the day too."

"As what ?"

"Massage therapists."Kuniko answered.

"What kind ?"

"The qualified therapeutical remedial kind."capital of Wisconsin said."Not the felicitous ending kind."

"Is it unearthly doing this with a co-worker ?"

"Nah."capital of Wisconsin shrugged."We were buddies in school day. Shit, we do everything together don't we. Are you certainly we're not a couple, Koko ? Maybe we oughta get married."

"Not until you're will to give up cock."Kuniko retorted with a timbre of mock bitchiness.

James Madison blew a raspberry bush and thumbs-downed that suggestion.

"What about you Jennifer, what do you do ?"Kuniko asked.

"Student. I'm at college. CS Major."

"Nice. You're going to program the robots that put back us all."

"That's the dream."Jennifer said, turning off the H2O and taking a towel from a bench to start drying herself off.

"What about you Tegan ?"Kuniko said, also finishing up her shower.

"I'm form of between jobs."

"attainment to pay the bills, though."Madison said shooting finger-guns at Tegan before turning off the water.

"Yeah, something like that."Tegan responded ambiguously.

"Tracey ?"

"Oh, I'm a lawyer."

There was an awkward silence.

"Seriously ?"Kuniko asked.

"Yeah."Tracey said, finishing her shower and walking over to blame up a towel. Tegan also finished her exhibitor, wrapping a towel around her. All the women looked uncertainly at each other, realising the implications of the possibly Second Earl Grey sound area acts they'd just performed. Tracey slowly seemed to earn the core her resolution had had on the room.

"You can relax. This isn't some stealth bust."Tracey wrapped a towel around herself."Law enforcement don't typically let intelligence officer actually get naked and nooky in the course of an probe. It would one hundred percent zep my life history if anyone found out I was here. Besides, I work in civil matters, not criminal."

"Don't lawyers make bank ?"Jennifer asks."Why are you here ?"

"Because I like getting fucked by stranger in figurehead of a bunch. The money is just a bonus."

"Wow."Jennifer said, letting that sump in."I don't even screw how to respond to that."

With dramatically convenient timing, Karenic walked into the room.

"Jennifer, Tegan, if you could get together me in the office when you're dressed ?"

She left, just as abruptly. Tegan and Jennifer exchanged a look for a moment then at the others.

"Are we in trouble ?"





The way that served as an office was snug, with just enough room for the desk, an authority chairperson, and a couple of straight-backed chairs opposite. There was a years-old calendar on the wall that didn't make it past march before the person who hung it had stopped bothering to update it. Tegan squeezed through to sit in the electric chair furthest from the door, wearing her attire. Jennifer was wearing jeans and a light hoodie over a shredded band t-shirt. Having seen her getting dressed Tegan eff she didn't have a bra on. While that wasn't really important rightfield now, it was something she was aware of.

Karenic had her pill standing in its cover and was reviewing it as they entered and waited for them to sit before smiling warmly. Tegan hated to gauge a person by their coming into court alone as Karenic had been nothing but professional and kind so far, but on her severe, angular aspect, the smile was unsettlingly predatory.

"Thank you, ladies. I'm sure you're wondering why I've asked you here."

Both fille nodded.

"You're both initiative timekeeper, correct ?"

Tegan and Jennifer exchanged a glimpse and both nodded again.

"Your little show was quite well received by the guests."

Tegan let out a sigh of reliever, strangely glad she wasn't about to get in worry, though it's not as though this was an real job that mattered to her.

"I was just doing what I thought I was supposed to."Jennifer said."I mean it wasn't exactly our idea."

"No, but you still performed it admirably."Karen said, gesturing at her iPad"and I almost immediately received a private booking request."

"From the two guys ?"

"No, though I can see how you'd assume so. It was one of the couplet, or rather the Male. I am not sure of his mate's involvement."

"What would he require us to do ?"Tegan queried.

"I don't have all of the particular yet, just an question of availability which I will refer up to Simon for approval. It would be reasonable to assume a girl-girl carrying out of some variety, since they specifically asked for the both of you."

"I'm capable to it, once we have More details."Tegan said after a moment's consideration.

"Me too. But no sex."Jennifer said, tucking a liberate strand of her behind her ear."I promised my boyfriend I'd do oral only."She said to Tegan by way of explanation.

"Your demarcation line are noted, of course."Karen acknowledged"But I understand that refers to intimate carnal knowledge with a man, for the determination of moving forward with the booking I presume miniature are satisfactory ?"

"Oh, yeah, I guess."

"Very well, then myself or Herbert A. Simon will contact you with more selective information when we have it."





By the fourth dimension their brief meeting with Karen was over the others had dressed and left. As they exited the mansion after collecting their purse, Jennifer lit a cigarette. She saw Tegan looking at her and offered her one, which she accepted, taking a gentle retarding force. It had been a few age since she last partook of the periodic mixer smoke and didn't want to cough like an moron in front man of her new acquaintance.

"So, that was a hell of a night."Tegan offered after a deliberate exhale.

"Yeah, it was… something."

"Ever done anything like that before ?"

"Not… exactly."Jennifer took a long drag."I mean I've partied. I've been around. You ?"

"I've had some… experiences. Most of them quite recently."Tegan took a thoughtful drag.

"I'm a virgin."

Tegan choked on her lungful of hummer and pounded on her thorax with her fist, forcing herself to take various deep breaths. Jennifer sympathetically rubbed her back.

"You what ?"

"I don't have a swain. I'm a Virgin. That's why I'm oral only."

"So, you've never… ?"

"Don't get me wrongfulness, I've been blowing dudes since I was like, fourteen, and I fucking love it. brace of girls too, y'know how college life is."Jennifer took another drag and so did Tegan, her lungs still burning from her coughing fit."But I never went all the way."

"If you don't mind me asking… why ?"

"I don't head. And I just don't want to. I dunno. I blow a guy it's like, whatever, he gets off. But letting him inside me… I feel like he thinks he gets a piece of you. I guess I don't want to give that away. Maybe that's stupid."

"You know what, you do you. No judgment."

"Thanks."Jennifer bounced anxiously on the balls of her base."So uh, that's a secret. Ok ? I feel like it might create problems if former people find that out."

"Sure. Absolutely."Tegan nodded. She took another drag and they stood together in silence near their cars as they silently finished their cigarettes.

"So, uh…"Jennifer stuck her hand out awkwardly"It was very nice working with you, and I look forward to seeing you adjacent time."

"Likewise."Tegan took Jennifer's mitt and shook it.

The next morning Tegan woke to a text edition from Simon Zelotes asking if they could satisfy and after a legal brief exchange of texts they agreed to meet at a café not far from Simon's shop. Apparently Jennifer was going to be there too, which Tegan took to mean that he wanted to talk about the booking request in person rather than via text.

Tegan parked down the street from Paul Simon's shop and headed towards it. Simon was standing outside it leaning against the doorway. He greeted her with a broad smile and coat of arms open which she took as an invitation to a well-disposed hug.

"Hey Tegan, let's just grab a java. You athirst ?"

"I'm fine. Where's Jennifer ?"

"She should be here soon."

They walked to a café a few shops down from Simon's and took out a professorship at one of the international tables, inviting Tegan to sit then sat across from her.

"So how was the party ?"

"I had a really interesting time."Tegan said thoughtfully."Not exactly what I expected but certainly interesting."

"They liked you."Simon Zelotes said, waggling his finger at her as if she has somehow tricked him. He turned to the waitress as she stopped by their mesa and dropped off a bottle of H2O for them to share."bombastic mocha."

"Skinny vanilla latte."Tegan said. The waitress left."Karen said there was a booking request."

"There is."Simon said, distractedly pouring them each a glass of urine from the chilled bottle."It's a footling unusual."

"Coming from you, that's kind of ominous."

Presently Jennifer rounded the turning point and Tegan gave her a polite wave, flagging her John L. H. Down so she came to get together, taking the other set across from Simon and adjacent to Tegan.

"I was just telling Teeg how pop you were at last night's party."

"Um, thanks."Jennifer looked around."Is it cool down to let the cat out of the bag about this out here ?"

"No one's listening."Herbert A. Simon assured her.

"Neil Simon was just getting to the part about our succeeding booking."Tegan said as the waitress returned with their coffees.

"Large caramelized sugar frappe, all the whipped cream."Jennifer said, then waited for the waitress to leave again."So, what's the story ?"

"Here it is : one of the hombre wants to take on you."

Jennifer and Tegan both made faces that indicated whatever Marvin Neil Simon just said, they weren't understanding it.

"Ok, not adopt literally. I mean he wants to be like a sugar daddy, but more than that."

"Can you elaborate a little bit on that ?"Tegan asked.

"He wants to Holy Writ you both, for a long weekend. Take you somewhere nice out of town, like a resort. use up you shopping. Pamper you. Act like you're his loving, caring daughters."

"And then fuck us ?"

"Yes. Well, maybe."

"You know I'm oral only."Jennifer said.

"Yes, and that's fine."Herbert A. Simon assured her."He's more interested in watching you together. Try on outfit. playact in the pool. saphead around. call him daddy."

"Honestly this sounds moderately cruisey."Jennifer said"You kinda made it sound like there was a catch."

"I'm guessing he'd like us to guess to be youthful than we are."Tegan suggested.

"That would be one factor of it, yeah."Simon nodded."If you guys are open up to it, I'd be well-chosen to flesh out some more of the details and come back to you. But it would be a long weekend, three maybe even four nights."

"I have no outcome with that, just let me know a little in overture so I can plan around it."

"Hell, I'm on break until the succeeding semester so make it a week."Jennifer said."As long as he's paying."

"Alright."Herbert Alexander Simon flashed a big smile."Then I'll curl it in."He raised his coffee in a goner and they clinked their cupful together.

That evening the group gathered for dinner : Tegan, Yeong, Brandon, Sam and Oengus, enjoying Tegan's endeavor at a simple knock dear and vegetables. Each of them a couple of drinks in as Tegan cleared away the dishes to address with later and brought back fresh drinks. It seemed to accommodate the mood to give a drink accompanying dinner so there was an almost terminate bottle of wine on the board that had been split between her, Yeong and Brandon, while Sam had knocked back a couple of beers and Angus was on his 3rd glass of Scotch whisky which he drank neat in a voluptuous glass that he said improved the olfactory property. To Tegan it smelled like burnt-out rubber and tasted of band-aids. After returning to the table with an extra feeding bottle of wine-colored and a beer for Sam she gently addressed the subject area of her upcoming trip.

"So I have a thing coming up that I will need to be out of town for."She started ambiguously.

"Oh, what's tha'?"

"Just a personal trip. But I will be away for about four days, over a weekend."She emptied the last of the undecided bottle of vino into her glass and took a sip."I'll make for certain I pay my share of the bills for the metre I'm away."Hoping to gratify any follow-up motion from Oengus and Sam, not wanting to get into the details of her arrangement, though it seemed that the fiscal aspect was furthest from Angus'mind.

"fountainhead yeh'll have to pee-pee sure our orchis are proper drained before yeh go."Angus Og drawled, swirling his glass. In the corner of her eye she saw Brandon fidget anxiously.

"Does he always talk like that about your relationship ?"Yeong said with a note of concern.

"Sex is our relationship."Tegan said with a sigh."You get used to his…"

"Brutishness ?"

"…directness. Eventually."

"She likes it."Angus Og said, leaning over and caressing Tegan's cheek then gently squeezing her mentum before releasing her and sipping his whisky."Tegan is a sensitive, thoughtful, intelligent girl. But in the bedchamber, that's where ah throw her feel like a material woman."

Tegan sipped her wine, fixing Angus with a baleful glare, but didn't deny it. She didn't appreciate him trying to blockade her in front of their houseguest but at the Saame prison term all she wanted him to pin her down feather and fuck her punishing. It was infuriating how he continued to get that effect on her.

"We have company."Tegan said eventually, pointedly. black Angus didn't need the monitor, but she did experience like an objection should be recorded.

"Oh I…"Yeong stammered"It's not my way but I don't mean value to judge."

"It is an unconventional arrangement."Tegan said, turning to Yeong."I'm sorry if Oengus made affair uncomfortable."

"He didn't. Honestly, as much as he might have tried."

They both laughed at that and Angus harrumphed to himself as he nursed his scotch.

"I'm just happy that matter are going so well between you and Brandon."

"Hey I'm correctly here."Brandon objected.

"commodity point. daughter talking metre !"Tegan took up the overt wine bottleful and her glass in one deal and Yeong by the wrist in the other and led her into the kitchen closing over the slide room access, and led them to the table where they could set down their wine-coloured glassful. She could listen Sam assuring Brandon that he didn't need to accompany and to just relax. She assumed Angus and Sam would try to wheedle Sir Thomas More details of his new sex life out of him and felt slightly bad for leaving him behind, but she wanted to get to know Yeong better.

"So, matter are going well, I hope ?"

"Yes."Yeong said simply, fidgeting with her vino chalk and taking a sip.

"I really am glad. I just wanted to clear the air between us."

"Clear the air ?"

"Well not to dwell on about it, but I hope you aren't uncomfortable about me and Brandon still living together. After everything."

"You've both been very honorable with me. I think if I felt like there were secrets being kept from me, I would be worried. But I'm not. And I'd like us to be friends."

"That's corking, Brandon is a Quaker and I want anyone he cares about to be a acquaintance too."

There was a brief interruption as they both drank.

"To be honest, Brandon told me some more details."

"Oh, what's that ?"Tegan said, feeling her venter turn over.

"He told me that sometimes the coitus were not strictly one on one."

"Ah."Tegan acknowledged carefully, trying to evaluate Yeong's feeling about this."Yes. That was sometimes the case."

"You described it as polyamory but that's not exactly the word I would use."

"Well, in the interests of full disclosure, no. To put it completely bluntly, I became the planetary house slut."Tegan sighed.

"Why ?"Yeong asked."I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry."

"I don't judgment telling you, especially because I want us to be friends. You might as well jazz the whole story."

Tegan relayed every detail - her inexperience, her icky family relationship, her growing penury to explore her sexuality, and her decisiveness to quit her job and live in the house as a inhabit in beloved hard worker. She left out a few incidents that fell outside the telescope of the agreement that Brandon was likely unaware of : the glory hollow, the stove poker night, the swingers party. But otherwise she was overt about the trine and quartet, the crowd bangs, even the occasional seasoner of her solid food with a little man sauce. At times Yeong seemed rival function fascinated and horrified, but Tegan held nil back hoping that any sound judgement or care would only possess a backlash on her, and not Brandon. Eventually she concluded the long story.

"…and here we are."

Yeong was silent while she let it dip in.

"Brandon was involved in… all that ?"

"A little bit. I think he let the other guys push him into it. Just went with the flow. Mostly he preferred to go at his own tread. He wasn't fond of sharing - that's why he values what he has with you much much More than anything we had together."

"It feels like you're working hard to fight back him."

"Maybe, but it's all true."Tegan rested her hand on Yeong's."I hope this doesn't make you think less of him."

"Actually, it makes me feel better. It helps me read that what you had was not… personal. Even though it was intimate."She smiled, finishing her shabu of wine.

"I also hope we can still be admirer. I'm sure enough your view of me is probably pretty low."

"I will take, you've done thing I could not do. But in a way, I am envious of how freeing it must be to be capable to act so shamelessly."She clapped her hand over her back talk, looking apologetic."I'm sorry, that must feature sounded so awful."

"I think I understand what you meant. No offence taken."

A loud joke went up in the other room.

"I wonder what that was about ?"Yeong pondered aloud.

"Boy talk probably. We can leave them to it awhile longer."



-- -- -



In the former way Brandon watched Yeong and Tegan leaved and buried his head in his hands.

"What's up lad ?"Aengus queried.

"Two only two adult female I've been with just went off to have a common soldier talk."

"Ah, donnae worry about it. Have another drink."

"looking at all they're going to do is sustain a deeply personal conversation about their one common interest - you - and compare notes."Sam said cheerfully.

"Jesus Christ."Brandon moaned.

"On the top, yeh can separate us all about yeh new lady friend. Yeh've been pretty active the survive dyad o'weeks."

"That's my business. I'm not going to share any of that."

"Ah go on. I'll tell yeh some o'my war stories."

"I don't want to lie with !"

"Yehs no fun."Angus said, swirling his Glencairn glass.

"It's not about ‘ fun ’, it's about trust."

"Yeh quite sweet on this young lady ain't yeh ?"

"She's sweet, and peculiar, and interesting."

"Ah, young love."

"Don't let old man Angus cheapen your relationship."Sam cut across Angus'mocking tonus."We know she's important. He's just being a dickhole."

"What ? Young love is cheap. Yeh'll always remember yeh first but it won't have staying top executive. Yeh'll acquire up and move on and go dissimilar people. Just enjoy what yeh have now."

"Don't talk about Yeong like that."Brandon said sharply.

"Ah'm nae talking about Yeong, ah'm talking about Whitney Young the great unwashed. Yeh're idiots. But so are center aged people and old people."Angus drained his score and poured another."We're all idiots."

"So who are you to be lecturing me ?"

"Ah'm no one. Just a middle aged perv who's fishin'fer particular about yeh hot new girl."

"Ok, fairly enough."Brandon laughed.

"So yeh'll portion the details ?"

"No."

They all laughed at that and Oengus turn to Sam.

"What about yeh ? What's yeh best lay ?"

"Oh, Tegan. Without a doubt."Sam said, finishing his beer and shaking the dreg at the bottom of the bottle.

"Aye ?"

"She's cute, adventurous, up for anything. Not the blistering, but she gets gunpoint just for the damn she's let me do to her."

"Go on."Angus encouraged.

"Ah black Angus, you've been there for most of it."Sam reached across the table and poured some of Aengus'score into an empty glass. Aengus looked nark but didn't object.

"C'mon, there's got to be at least one clip yeh got foul with her in a one-on-one scenario."

"Well… one time I pissed in her mouth."Sam sipped the scotch then grimaced at the flavor and threw it back in one gulp.

"Ew."Brandon said, making a face."waiting, Did she… ?"

"deglutition ? Nope. Don't worry, it was in the bath."

"Still, ew."

"How'd yeh convince her to let yeh do that ?"

"Well to be fair it was the end of a pretty farseeing dark, I think I'd wrung the resistance out of her. But I just told her directly I was gon na do it. She could say no, but she didn't."

"Well, it's nae my affair, but I'm impressed by the both o'yeh."Aengus poured Sam another criterion of scotch into Sam's cup.

"Ok, fair's fair. What's the kinkiest diddly you did with Tegan ?"

"Ah, well…"Aberdeen Angus demurred."…Ah might've taken her tae a glory hole."

"Those are a real affair ?"Brandon asked.

"If yeh know where tae look."Aengus nodded."And ah do. Donnae worry, everyone is properly vetted and clean house. I made sure o'it."

"Everyone ? Like multiple ?"

"Fifteen bloke, she took on. Like a cum guzzling champ."

Brandon and Sam slumped in their chairs.

"That was the night you took her shopping for dominatrix gear."Sam concluded.

"Aye."

"Wow. She agreed ?"

"Took a piffling arm twirl, but she was convinced."

"Well that makes my poker party seem tame by comparison."

"Poker company ?"Brandon queried.

"Oh yeah, you weren't home that night. I had some mates over. Tegan lost at poker game. She lost hard."Sam chuckled."On purpose."

"On one hand it seems like we're exploiting Tegan. On the other hired hand her… willingness… makes it seem like she's doing exactly what she wants."

"Pure slovenly woman, that girl. Through and through."Angus raised his glass in a pledge. Sam tapped it with his charge card cup, Brandon joined the pledge with his wine-colored glass.

"To Tegan."



-- -- -

Yeong and Tegan exited the kitchen just as they were toasting and put a hand to her chest as if flattered.

"That was a nice toast, I hope."She said sweetly.

"Aye jeune fille, just reflecting on how much we appreciate having yeh in our lives."

"Did you have a sound talk ?"Brandon asked.

"Sure."Tegan smiled, giving Brandon a friendly clap on the shoulder."Bathroom."She disappeared down the hallway and Yeong sat next to Brandon, giving him a reassuring buss on the cheek.

"Don't worry, we were just getting to know each other better."She said."What about you son ? in effect talk of the town ?"

"Just reliving some memories."Sam said, sipping his score."Jesus Aberdeen Angus what is this dickhead ?"

"That's Ardbeg Corryvreckan, yeh heathen."

"Corrywhatan ?"

"Ah, yeh've nae taste."

"I need another beer."

"I need to pee."Brandon announced.

"See you in your elbow room ?"Yeong hinted.

"See you there."He kissed her cheek and left, hoping Tegan was done.

"sunshine to that !"Angus toasted the air as Yeong trailed after Brandon, headed towards his room and Sam headed into the kitchen to get himself a beer, coming back and popping the cap off as he retake his hindquarters, looking around.

"Where's Tegan ?"



As Brandon shook off he washed his custody and exited the bathroom, slightly tipsy as he headed back to his room. He slipped inside and closed the doorway behind him, sliding the dash. When he turned towards the bed he froze in his tracks.

Sitting on the bed, wearing only their underclothes, were Yeong and Tegan .
