If Tegan hoped her brief absence would not be noted, she was sorely thwarted. As she walked into the communal women's showers where the other ladies were already rinsing and beginning to lather up, President Madison called out.

"Where have yoooou been ?"

Tegan bent her head in superfluity as she headed for one of the gratuitous showers and turned on the weewee, which thankfully came out steady and hot immediately, enabling her to set about rinsing herself off. closest to her Kuniko handed her a bottle of shower gel and squirted some into her hand which she quickly used to lather up and smutch across her wet hide. 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 zilch."Stan is a fucking tool, but that goes for his body as well as his personality. He can scratch an itch, that's for sure."Madison continued.

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

"You're gay ?"Tracey queried, with a suggestion 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 water. She spat out a mouthful of piss and turned back to Tracey."But twenty buck is xx dollar bill and Stan is basically a dildo with a pulse.

"I guess I'm the only 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 focus was off her post-show hookup with Stan.

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

"Side gig for me and Koko."James 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 therapeutic remedial kind."President Madison said."Not the glad ending kind."

"Is it weird doing this with a colleague ?"

"Nah."capital of Wisconsin shrugged."We were buddies in school. Shit, 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 timber 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 program the robot that replace us all."

"That's the dream."Jennifer said, turning off the urine 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 sort of between jobs."

"Skills to pay the eyeshade, 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 cascade and walking over to peck up a towel. Tegan also finished her exhibitioner, wrapping a towel around her. All the women looked uncertainly at each other, realising the entailment of the possibly Lady Jane Grey legal area acts they'd just performed. Tracey slowly seemed to realise the issue her response had had on the room.

"You can slack. This isn't some stealth bust."Tracey wrapped a towel around herself."Law enforcement don't typically let PI actually get naked and fuck in the course of an investigation. It would one hundred percent crampfish my career if anyone found out I was here. Besides, I work in civil matters, not criminal."

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

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

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

With dramatically convenient timing, Karenic walked into the room.

"Jennifer, Tegan, if you could get together me in the berth 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 room that served as an role was cosy, with just decent room for the desk, an office chair, and a couple of straight-backed chairs opposite. There was a years-old calendar on the paries that didn't make it past March before the someone who hung it had stopped bothering to update it. Tegan squeezed through to sit in the chairwoman utmost from the room access, wearing her dress. Jennifer was wearing blue jean and a light-colored hoodie over a shredded band t-shirt. Having seen her getting clip Tegan have intercourse she didn't have a bra on. While that wasn't really of import rightfield now, it was something she was cognizant of.

Karenic had her pad of paper standing in its cover and was reviewing it as they entered and waited for them to sit before smiling warmly. Tegan hated to judge a person by their appearing alone as Karenic had been null but professional person and form so far, but on her severe, angulate grimace, the grin was unsettlingly predatory.

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

Both girls nodded.

"You're both first timers, correct ?"

Tegan and Jennifer exchanged a glance and both nodded again.

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

Tegan let out a sigh of relief, strangely beaming she wasn't about to get in trouble, 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."Karenic said, gesturing at her iPad"and I almost immediately received a private booking request."

"From the two guy wire ?"

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

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

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

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

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

"Your limit are noted, of course."Karen acknowledged"But I understand that refers to intimate intercourse with a man, for the purpose of moving forward with the booking I presume miniature are acceptable ?"

"Oh, yeah, I guess."

"Very well, then myself or Marvin Neil Simon will reach you with more than info when we have it."





By the clock time their brief group 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 mollify drag. It had been a few eld since she last partook of the casual social smoke and didn't want to cough like an idiot in front of her new acquaintance.

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

"Yeah, it was… something."

"Ever done anything like that before ?"

"Not… exactly."Jennifer took a yearn 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 smoke and pounded on her chest with her fist, forcing herself to take several deep breathing space. 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 wrong, I've been blowing dudes since I was like, XIV, and I fucking have sex it. Couple of girls too, y'make love how college living 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 part 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 invertebrate foot."So uh, that's a private. Ok ? I feel like it might create problem if other people find that out."

"Sure. Absolutely."Tegan nodded. She took another retarding force and they stood together in secrecy near their gondola as they silently finished their cigarettes.

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

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

The next morning Tegan woke to a text from Simon asking if they could satisfy and after a brief rally of texts they agreed to meet at a café not far from Herb Simon's workshop. Apparently Jennifer was going to be there too, which Tegan took to mean that he wanted to discuss the reservation request in person rather than via text.

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

"Hey Tegan, let's just grab a coffee. You thirsty ?"

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

"She should be here soon."

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

"So how was the party ?"

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

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

"Skinny vanilla latte."Tegan said. The waitress left."Karenic said there was a book request."

"There is."Simon Zelotes said, distractedly pouring them each a glass of water from the cool down bottle."It's a little unusual."

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

Presently Jennifer rounded the corner and Tegan gave her a civilised wafture, flagging her down so she came to conjoin, taking the former set across from Simon and next to Tegan.

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

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

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

"St. Simon was just getting to the component about our next 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 guy cable wants to adopt you."

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

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

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

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

"And then jazz us ?"

"Yes. Well, maybe."

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

"Yes, and that's fine."Simon assured her."He's more interested in watching you together. Try on kit. fiddle in the puddle. Fool around. Call him daddy."

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

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

"That would be one element of it, yeah."Simon the Canaanite nodded."If you guys are open to it, I'd be happy to flesh out some more of the details and do back to you. But it would be a recollective weekend, three maybe even four nights."

"I have no issue with that, just let me know a piddling in progress so I can plan around it."

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

"Alright."Paul Simon flashed a big grin."Then I'll lock it in."He raised his burnt umber in a goner and they clinked their cup together.

That evening the group gathered for dinner : Tegan, Yeong, Brandon, Sam and Angus, enjoying Tegan's effort at a elementary joint lamb and veggie. Each of them a match of drinkable in as Tegan cleared away the dishes to deal with later and brought back novel drinks. It seemed to befit the mood to have a drink accompanying dinner so there was an almost end bottleful of wine on the table that had been split between her, Yeong and Brandon, while Sam had knocked back a couple of beers and Angus was on his third glass of Scotch malt whiskey which he drank neat in a curvy glass that he said improved the aroma. To Tegan it smelled like glow safety and tasted of band-aids. After returning to the table with an extra bottle of wine and a beer for Sam she gently addressed the subject of her upcoming trip.

"So I have a thing coming up that I will need to be out of townsfolk 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 open bottle of wine into her glass and took a sip."I'll make certain I pay my percentage of the bills for the time I'm away."Hoping to satisfy any followup dubiousness from Angus and Sam, not wanting to get into the particular of her system, though it seemed that the financial aspect was furthest from Angus'mind.

"well yeh'll have to lay down sure our balls are right drained before yeh go."Angus drawled, swirling his methamphetamine. In the niche of her eye she saw Brandon fidget anxiously.

"doe 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 said, leaning over and caressing Tegan's brass then gently squeezing her chin before releasing her and sipping his whiskey."Tegan is a sensitive, heedful, intelligent girl. But in the bedchamber, that's where ah stimulate her feel like a veridical woman."

Tegan sipped her wine, fixing Angus with a baleful glare, but didn't deny it. She didn't appreciate him trying to embarrass her in straw man of their house guest but at the same prison term all she wanted him to pin her down and love her hard. It was infuriating how he continued to have that effect on her.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"trade good head. Girl talk metre !"Tegan took up the open wine bottle and her glass in one hand and Yeong by the radiocarpal joint in the other and led her into the kitchen closing over the slip door, and led them to the tabular array where they could set down their wine-colored meth. She could hear Sam assuring Brandon that he didn't need to follow and to just relax. She assumed Aberdeen Angus and Sam would try to wheedle more contingent of his new sex life out of him and felt slightly bad for leaving him behind, but she wanted to get to recognize Yeong better.

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

"Yes."Yeong said simply, fidgeting with her wine glass 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 honorable with me. I think if I felt like there were closed book being kept from me, I would be worried. But I'm not. And I'd like us to be friends."

"That's great, Brandon is a protagonist and I want anyone he cares about to be a champion too."

There was a brief pause as they both drank.

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

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

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

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

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

"wellspring, in the stake of full disclosure, no. To put it completely bluntly, I became the sign slut."Tegan sighed.

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

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

Tegan relayed every detail - her rawness, her filthy relationships, her growing pauperization to explore her sexuality, and her decision to quit her job and live in the household as a live in love slave. She left out a few incidents that fell outside the scope of the arrangement that Brandon was likely unaware of : the glory holes, the stove poker night, the swinger political party. But otherwise she was open about the threesomes and foursomes, the pack smasher, even the occasional flavorer of her food with a little man sauce. At times Yeong seemed compeer parts fascinated and horrified, but Tegan held nothing back hoping that any judgments or concerns would only have a backlash on her, and not Brandon. Eventually she concluded the prospicient story.

"…and here we are."

Yeong was silent while she let it sink in.

"Brandon was involved in… all that ?"

"A little bit. I think he let the other guy rope push him into it. Just went with the flow. Mostly he preferred to go at his own pace. 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 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 experience better. It helps me sympathize that what you had was not… personal. Even though it was intimate."She smiled, finishing her crank of wine.

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

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

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

A loud laughter went up in the other room.

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

"Boy talk probably. We can pass on 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 ?"black Angus queried.

"Two only two women I've been with just went off to throw a individual talk."

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

"expression all they're going to do is ingest a deeply personal conversation about their one reciprocal stake - you - and compare notes."Sam said cheerfully.

"Jesus Christ."Brandon moaned.

"On the upside, yeh can narrate us all about yeh new girl. Yeh've been pretty active the last couple 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 know !"

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

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

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

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

"Ah, young love."

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

"What ? Loretta Young love is cheap. Yeh'll always call back yeh first but it won't have staying might. Yeh'll develop up and move on and become different multitude. Just love what yeh have now."

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

"Ah'm nae talking about Yeong, ah'm talking about young multitude. Yeh're idiots. But so are middle aged people and old people."Angus drained his scotch and poured another."We're all idiots."

"So who are you to be lecturing me ?"

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

"Ok, reasonable enough."Brandon laughed.

"So yeh'll part the contingent ?"

"No."

They all laughed at that and black Angus turn to Sam.

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

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

"Aye ?"

"She's cute, adventurous, up for anything. Not the hottest, but she gets dot just for the dickhead she's let me do to her."

"Go on."Angus encouraged.

"Ah Angus Og, you've been there for virtually of it."Sam reached across the tabular array and poured some of black Angus'scotch into an empty glass. Angus looked annoy but didn't object.

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

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

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

"swallow ? 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 night, I think I'd wrung the electric 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 poured Sam another measuring of Scotch malt whiskey into Sam's cup.

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

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

"Those are a really thing ?"Brandon asked.

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

"Everyone ? Like multiple ?"

"15 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 little arm twisting, but she was convinced."

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

"poker party ?"Brandon queried.

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

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

"Pure trollop, that girl. Through and through."Oengus raised his glass in a pledge. Sam tapped it with his charge plate cup, Brandon joined the toast with his wine glass.

"To Tegan."



-- -- -

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

"That was a gracious pledge, I hope."She said sweetly.

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

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

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

"Don't worry, we were just getting to eff each early better."She said."What about you boys ? Good talk ?"

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

"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 cheek and left, hoping Tegan was done.

"cheerfulness 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 retook his seat, looking around.

"Where's Tegan ?"



As Brandon shook off he washed his mitt and exited the can, slightly tipsy as he headed back to his elbow 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 .
