If Tegan hoped her brief absence would not be noted, she was sorely disappointed. As she walked into the communal char's shower where the other ladies were already rinsing and beginning to lash up, Madison called out.

"Where have yoooou been ?"

Tegan bent her straits in embarrassment as she headed for one of the free showers and turned on the water, which thankfully came out unshakable and hot immediately, enabling her to start rinsing herself off. Nearest to her Kuniko handed her a bottle of shower gel and squirted some into her hand which she quickly used to lather up and smudge across her wet skin. After rallying from the initial embarrassment, she looked over and Madison with a coy smile.

"Yeah, get it girl."Madison laughed. Jennifer looked slightly disapproving but said nil."Stan is a fucking instrument, but that goes for his torso as well as his personality. He can scrub an itchiness, that's for sure."Madison continued.

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

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

"Straight for pay. I'm not like, militantly scared of cock. I just wouldn't date a guy."Kuniko scrubbed her face with her hands before rinsing it under the pee. She spat out a taste of body of water and turned back to Tracey."But twenty dollars is twenty clam and Stan is basically a dildo with a pulse.

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

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

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

"Side gig for me and Koko."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 variety ?"

"The condition therapeutical remedial kind."Madison said."Not the felicitous ending kind."

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

"Nah."President Madison shrugged."We were buddies in school. Irish bull, we do everything together don't we. Are you for sure we're not a couple, Koko ? Maybe we oughta get married."

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

Madison blew a raspberry 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 political platform the robots that replace us all."

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

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

"I'm sort of between jobs."

"Skills to pay the bills, though."President 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 bunglesome silence.

"Seriously ?"Kuniko asked.

"Yeah."Tracey said, finishing her rain shower and walk over to pick up a towel. Tegan also finished her shower, wrapping a towel around her. All the adult female looked uncertainly at each former, realising the deduction of the possibly hoary legal area acts they'd just performed. Tracey slowly seemed to agnize the issue her solution 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 operatives actually get naked and nookie in the course of an investigation. It would one hundred percent torpedo my career if anyone found out I was here. Besides, I work in civil thing, not criminal."

"Don't lawyer make camber ?"Jennifer asks."Why are you here ?"

"Because I like getting fucked by alien in front of a crowd. The money is just a bonus."

"Wow."Jennifer said, letting that cesspool in."I don't even know how to react to that."

With dramatically convenient timing, Karen walked into the room.

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

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

"Are we in trouble ?"





The elbow room that served as an business office was cozy, with just enough room for the desk, an government agency electric chair, and a couple of erectly chairs opposite. There was a years-old calendar on the bulwark 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 chairwoman furthest from the door, wearing her garb. Jennifer was wearing jeans and a light hoodie over a shredded band jersey. Having seen her getting dressed Tegan know she didn't have a bra on. While that wasn't really authoritative rightfulness now, it was something she was aware of.

Karen had her tablet standing in its cover and was reviewing it as they entered and waited for them to sit before smiling warmly. Tegan hated to approximate a person by their appearance alone as Karen had been nothing but master and sort so far, but on her severe, angular nerve, the smile was unsettlingly predatory.

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

Both girls nodded.

"You're both showtime timers, counterbalance ?"

Tegan and Jennifer exchanged a glance and both nodded again.

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

Tegan let out a sigh of relief, strangely glad she wasn't about to get in bother, though it's not as though this was an actual 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 Guy ?"

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

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

"I don't have all of the details yet, just an enquiry of availableness which I will concern up to Simon for approval. It would be fair to simulate a girl-girl functioning of some potpourri, since they specifically asked for the both of you."

"I'm clear to it, once we have more details."Tegan said after a consequence's consideration.

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

"Your limits are noted, of course."Karenic acknowledged"But I understand that refers to sexual intercourse with a man, for the purpose of moving forward with the booking I presume toys are acceptable ?"

"Oh, yeah, I guess."

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





By the meter their brief meeting with Karen was over the others had dressed and left. As they exited the house after collecting their bags, Jennifer lit a cigarette. She saw Tegan looking at her and offered her one, which she accepted, taking a gruntle puff. It had been a few years since she finally partook of the periodic sociable smoke and didn't want to cough like an idiot in front of her new acquaintance.

"So, that was a inferno of a night."Tegan offered after a heedful exhale.

"Yeah, it was… something."

"Ever done anything like that before ?"

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

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

"I'm a virgin."

Tegan choked on her lungful of fastball and pounded on her chest with her fist, forcing herself to take several recondite breaths. Jennifer sympathetically rubbed her back.

"You what ?"

"I don't have a boyfriend. I'm a virgin. That's why I'm oral only."

"So, you've never… ?"

"Don't get me incorrectly, I've been blowing fashion plate since I was like, fourteen, and I fucking sleep together it. match of girls too, y'love how college spirit 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 mind. 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 while 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 trouble if other people find that out."

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

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

"Likewise."Tegan took Jennifer's helping hand and shook it.

The next dawn Tegan woke to a text from Herbert Alexander Simon asking if they could meet and after a 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 discuss the reservation request in individual rather than via text.

Tegan parked down the street from Simon the Zealot's store and headed towards it. Neil Simon was standing outside it leaning against the doorway. He greeted her with a broad grin and arms open which she took as an invitation to a friendly hug.

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

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

"She should be here soon."

They walked to a café a few shop class down from Simon's and took out a death chair at one of the extraneous tables, inviting Tegan to sit then sat across from her.

"So how was the political party ?"

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

"They liked you."Simon the Canaanite said, waggling his fingerbreadth at her as if she has somehow tricked him. He turned to the waitress as she stopped by their table and dropped off a feeding bottle of water for them to percentage."enceinte 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 weewee from the cool down feeding bottle."It's a little unusual."

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

Presently Jennifer rounded the niche and Tegan gave her a civilised wafture, flagging her down so she came to join, taking the former set across from Herbert A. Simon and following to Tegan.

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

"Um, thanks."Jennifer looked around."Is it coolheaded to talk about this out here ?"

"No one's listening."Paul Simon assured her.

"Simon was just getting to the persona about our next booking."Tegan said as the waitress returned with their coffees.

"Large caramel ice, all the whipped cream."Jennifer said, then waited for the waitress to bequeath again."So, what's the chronicle ?"

"Here it is : one of the guys wants to adopt you."

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

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

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

"He wants to book you both, for a prospicient weekend. deal you somewhere nice out of town, like a holiday resort. submit you shopping. Pamper you. Act like you're his loving, caring daughters."

"And then fuck us ?"

"Yes. fountainhead, maybe."

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

"Yes, and that's fine."Herb Simon assured her."He's more interested in watching you together. Try on getup. act in the pool. Fool around. Call him daddy."

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

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

"That would be one factor of it, yeah."Simon Zelotes nodded."If you guys are open to it, I'd be felicitous to flesh out some more of the item and total back to you. But it would be a yearn weekend, three maybe even four nights."

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

"Hell, I'm on falling out until the next semester so score it a week."Jennifer said."As long as he's paying."

"Alright."Simon flashed a big grinning."Then I'll lock it in."He raised his coffee tree in a toast and they clinked their loving cup together.

That evening the group gathered for dinner : Tegan, Yeong, Brandon, Sam and Aberdeen Angus, enjoying Tegan's exertion at a simple knock lamb and vegetables. Each of them a duet of potable in as Tegan cleared away the ravisher to administer with later and brought back fresh drinkable. It seemed to suit the mood to give birth a swallow accompanying dinner party so there was an almost finished bottleful of wine on the board that had been split between her, Yeong and Brandon, while Sam had knocked back a couple of beers and Aengus was on his one-third glass of scotch which he drank neat in a curvy chicken feed that he said improved the aroma. To Tegan it smelled like burnt rubber and tasted of band-aids. After returning to the tabular array with an extra bottle of wine-colored and a beer for Sam she gently addressed the national of her upcoming trip.

"So I have a thing coming up that I will require 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 daytime, over a weekend."She emptied the endure of the open feeding bottle of wine into her methamphetamine and took a sip."I'll make sure I pay my share of the government note for the prison term I'm away."Hoping to satisfy any followup question from Angus and Sam, not wanting to get into the contingent of her arrangement, though it seemed that the fiscal face was furthest from Aengus'mind.

"Well yeh'll have to take certain our ballock are proper drained before yeh go."Angus drawled, swirling his glass. In the box of her eye she saw Brandon fidget anxiously.

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

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

"Brutishness ?"

"…directness. Eventually."

"She likes it."Oengus said, leaning over and caressing Tegan's impudence then gently squeezing her chin before releasing her and sipping his whiskey."Tegan is a sensitive, serious-minded, intelligent girl. But in the bedroom, that's where ah make her tactile property like a real woman."

Tegan sipped her wine, fixing Angus with a baleful limelight, but didn't deny it. She didn't appreciate him trying to embarrass her in front line of their houseguest but at the Lapp fourth dimension all she wanted him to pin her down and fuck her hard. It was infuriating how he continued to take that result on her.

"We have company."Tegan said eventually, pointedly. Angus didn't need the reminder, but she did feel like an remonstrance 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 things uncomfortable."

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

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

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

"Hey I'm in good order here."Brandon objected.

"commodity head. girlfriend talk time !"Tegan took up the open wine-coloured bottle and her field glass in one hand and Yeong by the wrist in the other and led her into the kitchen closedown over the skid door, and led them to the table where they could set down their wine-coloured deoxyephedrine. She could hear Sam assuring Brandon that he didn't need to follow and to just relax. She assumed Angus and Sam would try to wheedle more contingent of his new sex biography out of him and felt slightly bad for leaving him behind, but she wanted to get to love Yeong better.

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

"Yes."Yeong said simply, fidgeting with her wine spyglass and taking a sip.

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

"clear the air ?"

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

"You've both been very good 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 heavy, Brandon is a champion and I want anyone he cares about to be a friend too."

There was a abbreviated pause as they both drank.

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

"Oh, what's that ?"Tegan said, feeling her stomach tour over.

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

"Ah."Tegan acknowledged carefully, trying to measure 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 revelation, 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 friend. You might as well know the whole story."

Tegan relayed every contingent - her rawness, her lousy relationships, her growing need to explore her gender, and her decision to quit her job and live in the house as a dwell in love slave. She left out a few incidents that fell outside the telescope of the agreement that Brandon was likely unaware of : the aura kettle of fish, the poker night, the swingers political party. But otherwise she was surface about the trey and quaternion, the crew bangs, even the occasional seasoning of her food with a slight man sauce. At times Yeong seemed equalise division fascinated and horrified, but Tegan held nothing back hoping that any judgments or fear would only feature a rebound on her, and not Brandon. Eventually she concluded the longsighted story.

"…and here we are."

Yeong was tacit while she let it sink in.

"Brandon was involved in… all that ?"

"A little bit. I think he let the other guy push him into it. Just went with the flow. Mostly he preferred to go at his own tempo. 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 represent him."

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

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

"I also hope we can still be friends. I'm sure your perspective of me is probably pretty low."

"I will hold, you've done things I could not do. But in a way, I am jealous of how freeing it must be to be able to act so shamelessly."She clapped her deal over her mouth, looking apologetic."I'm sorry, that must have sounded so awful."

"I think I understand what you meant. No law-breaking taken."

A cheap joke went up in the other room.

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

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



-- -- -



In the other room Brandon watched Yeong and Tegan leaved and buried his head in his hands.

"What's up lad ?"Aberdeen Angus queried.

"Two only two women I've been with just went off to have a buck private talk."

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

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

"Jesus Christ."Brandon moaned.

"On the upper side, yeh can tell us all about yeh new girl. Yeh've been pretty active the shoemaker's last couple o'weeks."

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

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

"I don't want to make out !"

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

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

"Yeh quite sweet on this girl ain't yeh ?"

"She's afters, and risible, and interesting."

"Ah, Edward Young love."

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

"What ? Young love is cheap. Yeh'll always recall yeh first but it won't have staying might. Yeh'll maturate up and strike on and become different masses. 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 Lester Willis Young citizenry. Yeh're idiots. But so are midriff elderly people and old people."Oengus drained his scotch and poured another."We're all idiots."

"So who are you to be lecturing me ?"

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

"Ok, comely enough."Brandon laughed.

"So yeh'll share the details ?"

"No."

They all laughed at that and Angus turn to Sam.

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

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

"Aye ?"

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

"Go on."Angus encouraged.

"Ah Angus, you've been there for near of it."Sam reached across the table and poured some of Angus'Scotch malt whiskey into an empty glass. Angus looked irritated but didn't object.

"C'mon, there's got to be at to the lowest degree one time yeh got filthy with her in a one-on-one scenario."

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

"Ew."Brandon said, making a typeface."Wait, Did she… ?"

"sup ? 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 long nighttime, 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 thing, but I'm impressed by the both o'yeh."Angus Og poured Sam another measure of scotch into Sam's cup.

"Ok, carnival's bazaar. What's the way-out shit you did with Tegan ?"

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

"Those are a real thing ?"Brandon asked.

"If yeh know where tae look."Angus nodded."And ah do. Donnae headache, everyone is properly vetted and light. I made sure as shooting o'it."

"Everyone ? Like multiple ?"

"fifteen blokes, 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 fiddling arm straining, but she was convinced."

"wellspring that makes my stove poker party seem tame by comparison."

"Poker party ?"Brandon queried.

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

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

"Pure adulteress, that young lady. Through and through."Angus raised his glass in a toast. Sam tapped it with his plastic cup, Brandon joined the goner with his wine glass.

"To Tegan."



-- -- -

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

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

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

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

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

"Don't concern, we were just getting to know each other better."She said."What about you male child ? Good talk ?"

"Just reliving some memories."Sam said, sipping his Scotch whisky."Jesus Angus what is this shit ?"

"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 room ?"Yeong hinted.

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

"Cheers 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 seat, looking around.

"Where's Tegan ?"



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

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