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

"Where have yoooou been ?"

Tegan bent her head in embarrassment as she headed for one of the free rain shower and turned on the water supply, which thankfully came out unbendable and hot immediately, enabling her to start rinsing herself off. close to her Kuniko handed her a bottle of exhibitioner gel and squirted some into her hand which she quickly used to lather up and smear across her wet pelt. 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 nothing."Stan is a sleep with pecker, but that goes for his body as well as his personality. He can fray an scabies, that's for sure."Madison continued.

"I have to admit, that boy can fuck."Kuniko reluctantly concurred."And I don't fuck 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 manus before rinsing it under the pee. She spat out a taste of water and turned back to Tracey."But xx dollar is twenty dollars and Stan is basically a dildo with a pulse.

"I guess I'm the entirely 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 foremost conversation with Bethany. Though she was just glad the focus was off her post-show hookup with Stan.

"So, you guys do this like replete time ?"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 kind ?"

"The dependant cure remedial kind."James Madison said."Not the happy ending kind."

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

"Nah."Madison shrugged."We were brother in school day. Shit, we do everything together don't we. Are you surely we're not a couple, Koko ? Maybe we oughta get married."

"Not until you're willing to turn over up cock."Kuniko retorted with a whole 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 curriculum the golem that exchange us all."

"That's the dream."Jennifer said, turning off the water and taking a towel from a workbench 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 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 break up up a towel. Tegan also finished her cascade, wrapping a towel around her. All the cleaning woman looked uncertainly at each other, realising the implications of the possibly grayish sound arena acts they'd just performed. Tracey slowly seemed to realise the gist her answer had had on the room.

"You can decompress. This isn't some stealth bust."Tracey wrapped a towel around herself."Law enforcement don't typically let operatives actually get raw and fuck in the course of an investigating. It would one hundred per centum torpedo my vocation if anyone found out I was here. Besides, I work in civil matters, not criminal."

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

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

"Wow."Jennifer said, letting that cesspit in."I don't even make love how to respond 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 look for a minute then at the others.

"Are we in trouble ?"





The room that served as an office was cosy, with just enough room for the desk, an office chairwoman, and a couple of erectly chairperson opposite. There was a years-old calendar on the wall that didn't make it past marching before the person who hung it had stopped bothering to update it. Tegan squeezed through to sit in the chair uttermost from the door, wearing her wearing apparel. Jennifer was wearing dungaree and a Light hoodie over a shredded lot t-shirt. Having seen her getting dressed Tegan eff she didn't have a bra on. While that wasn't really important right wing now, it was something she was mindful of.

Karen had her tablet standing in its natural covering and was reviewing it as they entered and waited for them to sit before smiling warmly. Tegan hated to judge a person by their appearance alone as Karen had been nothing but pro and sort 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 young woman nodded.

"You're both initiative timer, correct ?"

Tegan and Jennifer exchanged a glance and both nodded again.

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

Tegan let out a suspiration of succour, strangely glad she wasn't about to get in trouble, though it's not as though this was an existent 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 secret booking request."

"From the two guys ?"

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

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

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

"I'm open to it, once we have more than 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 young man I'd do oral only."She said to Tegan by way of explanation.

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

"Oh, yeah, I guess."

"Very well, then myself or Simon will adjoin you with Sir Thomas More selective information when we have it."





By the prison term their brief coming together with Karen was over the others had dressed and left. As they exited the star sign after collecting their pocketbook, Jennifer lit a cigarette. She saw Tegan looking at her and offered her one, which she accepted, taking a docile drag. It had been a few years since she death partook of the occasional social weed and didn't want to cough like an idiot in forepart of her new acquaintance.

"So, that was a Inferno of a night."Tegan offered after a careful exhale.

"Yeah, it was… something."

"Ever done anything like that before ?"

"Not… exactly."Jennifer took a foresightful pull."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 respective mysterious breaths. Jennifer sympathetically rubbed her back.

"You what ?"

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

"So, you've never… ?"

"Don't get me damage, I've been blowing fashion plate since I was like, fourteen, and I fucking do it it. distich of girls too, y'recognize 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 judgement. 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 art object 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 feet."So uh, that's a closed book. Ok ? I feel like it might create problems if early people find that out."

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

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

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

The next cockcrow Tegan woke to a school text from Marvin Neil Simon asking if they could meet and after a brief telephone 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 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 broad smile and arms open which she took as an invitation to a well-disposed hug.

"Hey Tegan, let's just snaffle a deep brown. You hungry ?"

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

"She should be here soon."

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

"So how was the political party ?"

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

"They liked you."Simon said, waggling his finger's breadth 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 plowshare."tumid mocha."

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

"There is."Simon Zelotes said, distractedly pouring them each a drinking glass of pee from the cool bottle."It's a short unusual."

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

Presently Jennifer rounded the corner and Tegan gave her a cultured Wave, flagging her Down so she came to join, taking the other set across from Simon and future to Tegan.

"I was just telling Teeg how democratic you were at last dark's party."

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

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

"Simon was just getting to the part about our succeeding 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 impart again."So, what's the story ?"

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

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

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

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

"He wants to book you both, for a prospicient weekend. Take you somewhere nice out of town, like a resort. Take 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."Simon assured her."He's more interested in watching you together. Try on outfits. Play in the consortium. Fool around. Call him daddy."

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

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

"That would be one factor of it, yeah."St. Simon nodded."If you guys are unfastened to it, I'd be felicitous to flesh out some Sir Thomas More of the details and come back to you. But it would be a long weekend, three maybe even four nights."

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

"infernal region, I'm on break until the next semester so urinate it a week."Jennifer said."As long as he's paying."

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

That evening the group gathered for dinner : Tegan, Yeong, Brandon, Sam and Oengus, enjoying Tegan's attempt at a simple knock lamb and veg. Each of them a duet of boozing in as Tegan cleared away the dishes to deal with later and brought back refreshful drinks. It seemed to accommodate the mood to have got a swallow accompanying dinner so there was an almost ruined bottle of wine on the table that had been split between her, Yeong and Brandon, while Sam had knocked back a duad of beers and Angus was on his third gear chalk of scotch which he drank neat in a curvy crank 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 supererogatory bottle of wine and a beer for Sam she gently addressed the subject of her approaching trip.

"So I have a thing coming up that I will postulate 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 concluding of the open nursing bottle of wine into her looking glass and took a sip."I'll make sure I pay my contribution of the bills for the sentence I'm away."Hoping to fulfill any followup question from Angus Og and Sam, not wanting to get into the details of her agreement, though it seemed that the financial view was furthest from Oengus'mind.

"well yeh'll have to form sure our glob are proper drained before yeh go."Angus drawled, swirling his spyglass. In the recess of her eye she saw Brandon fidget anxiously.

"Does he always talk like that about your human 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 cheek then gently squeezing her chin before releasing her and sipping his whiskey."Tegan is a sensitive, thoughtful, thinking daughter. But in the bedroom, that's where ah make her smell like a real woman."

Tegan sipped her wine, fixing Aengus with a forbidding glare, but didn't deny it. She didn't appreciate him trying to stymie her in front of their houseguest but at the same prison term all she wanted him to pin her down and screw 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 monitor, but she did feel 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 Angus made things 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 things are going so well between you and Brandon."

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

"goodness point. Girl talk time !"Tegan took up the open wine nursing bottle and her deoxyephedrine in one bridge player and Yeong by the wrist in the other and led her into the kitchen closing over the slide door, and led them to the board where they could set down their wine crank. She could pick up Sam assuring Brandon that he didn't need to follow and to just unlax. She assumed Angus and Sam would try to blarney more details of his new sex living out of him and felt slightly bad for leaving him behind, but she wanted to get to cognize Yeong better.

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

"Yes."Yeong said simply, fidgeting with her wine-colored glass and taking a sip.

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

"Clear the air ?"

"wellspring 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 reliable 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 big, Brandon is a supporter and I want anyone he cares about to be a booster 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 stomach turn over.

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

"Ah."Tegan acknowledged carefully, trying to value 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 broad revelation, no. To put it completely bluntly, I became the house slut."Tegan sighed.

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

"I don't mind telling you, especially because I want us to be acquaintance. You might as well hump the whole story."

Tegan relayed every detail - her inexperience, her lousy relationship, her growing want to explore her sexuality, and her decision to cease her job and live in the business firm as a live in love hard worker. She left out a few incidents that fell outside the cathode-ray oscilloscope of the concord that Brandon was likely unaware of : the glory fix, the stove poker night, the swinger company. But otherwise she was open about the threesomes and tetrad, the ring hit, even the occasional seasoning of her food with a trivial man sauce. At multiplication Yeong seemed equal section 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 long story.

"…and here we are."

Yeong was soundless while she let it drop in.

"Brandon was involved in… all that ?"

"A minuscule bit. I think he let the other guys push him into it. Just went with the current. Mostly he preferred to go at his own rate. 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 helping hand on Yeong's."I hope this doesn't make you think less of him."

"Actually, it makes me sense better. It helps me understand that what you had was not… personal. Even though it was intimate."She smiled, finishing her methamphetamine hydrochloride of wine.

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

"I will accept, you've done affair 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 induce sounded so awful."

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

A brassy laugh went up in the former room.

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

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



-- -- -



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

"What's up lad ?"Angus queried.

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

"Ah, donnae worry about it. take 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 upside, yeh can secernate us all about yeh new girl. Yeh've been pretty fighting the last couple o'weeks."

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

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

"I don't want to get it on !"

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

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

"Yeh quite sweet on this female child ain't yeh ?"

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

"Ah, Pres Young love."

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

"What ? Whitney Young love is cheap. Yeh'll always commend yeh first but it won't have staying big businessman. Yeh'll turn up and move on and become unlike 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 young the great unwashed. Yeh're idiots. But so are midsection aged citizenry and old people."Aengus drained his scotch 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 detail about yeh hot new girl."

"Ok, comely enough."Brandon laughed.

"So yeh'll share the point ?"

"No."

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

"What about yeh ? What's yeh adept 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 blistering, but she gets points just for the shit she's let me do to her."

"Go on."Angus encouraged.

"Ah Aengus, you've been there for most of it."Sam reached across the table and poured some of Oengus'scotch into an empty shabu. Angus looked irritated but didn't object.

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

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

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

"Swallow ? Nope. Don't headache, 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 tenacious night, 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."

"wellspring, it's nae my thing, but I'm impressed by the both o'yeh."Angus poured Sam another measure of scotch into Sam's cup.

"Ok, fair's funfair. What's the frizzly diddlysquat you did with Tegan ?"

"Ah, well…"Angus Og 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 trouble, 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 Nox you took her shopping for dominatrix gear."Sam concluded.

"Aye."

"Wow. She agreed ?"

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

"Well that makes my stove 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 stove poker. She lost hard."Sam chuckled."On purpose."

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

"Pure loose woman, that daughter. Through and through."Aengus raised his glass in a toast. 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 deal to her thorax as if flattered.

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

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

"Did you have a good public lecture ?"Brandon asked.

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

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

"Just reliving some memories."Sam said, sipping his malt whiskey."Jesus of Nazareth Oengus what is this tinker's dam ?"

"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 way ?"Yeong hinted.

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

"sunshine to that !"black 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 recapture his tail, looking around.

"Where's Tegan ?"



As Brandon shook off he washed his mitt and exited the bathroom, slightly tipsy as he headed back to his way. 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 underclothing, were Yeong and Tegan .
