If Tegan hoped her brief absence would not be noted, she was sorely foiled. As she walked into the communal charwoman's rain shower where the former madam were already rinsing and beginning to lather up, President Madison called out.

"Where have yoooou been ?"

Tegan bent her point in superfluity as she headed for one of the devoid rain shower and turned on the water, which thankfully came out steady and hot immediately, enabling her to set forth 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 smear across her wet skin. 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 cipher."Stan is a nooky instrument, 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 admit, that boy can fuck."Kuniko reluctantly concurred."And I don't fuck guys."

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

"Straight for pay. I'm not like, militantly scared of prick. I just wouldn't escort a guy."Kuniko scrubbed her facial expression with her bridge player before rinsing it under the water. She spat out a mouthful 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 only one here who doesn't go for girls."Tracey said reflectively."Not that there's anything haywire 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 phase of the moon meter ?"Jennifer asked.

"side of meat 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 sort ?"

"The qualified therapeutic remedial kind."capital of Wisconsin said."Not the happy ending kind."

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

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

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

capital of Wisconsin 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 water 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."

"attainment to pay the poster, 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 exhibitor and walking over to pick up a towel. Tegan also finished her shower, wrapping a towel around her. All the charwoman looked uncertainly at each other, realising the implication of the possibly greyness legal area acts they'd just performed. Tracey slowly seemed to realise the effect her reply 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 defenseless and fuck in the course of action of an investigation. It would one hundred percent Cuban sandwich 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 strangers in front of a crowd. The money is just a bonus."

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

With dramatically convenient timing, Karen walked into the room.

"Jennifer, Tegan, if you could join me in the power 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 hassle ?"





The room that served as an government agency was cosy, with just enough room for the desk, an authority chair, and a twosome of straight-backed chairs opposite. There was a years-old calendar on the wall that didn't make it past March before the mortal who hung it had stopped bothering to update it. Tegan squeezed through to sit in the chairperson furthest from the threshold, wearing her attire. Jennifer was wearing jean and a light hoodie over a shred set T-shirt. Having seen her getting dressed Tegan know she didn't have a bra on. While that wasn't really important right now, it was something she was cognisant 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 judge a person by their appearance alone as Karen had been nothing but professional and form so far, but on her wicked, angular nerve, the smile was unsettlingly predatory.

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

Both girls nodded.

"You're both outset timers, correct ?"

Tegan and Jennifer exchanged a glance and both nodded again.

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

Tegan let out a suspiration of relief, strangely glad she wasn't about to get in fuss, 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 private booking request."

"From the two guys ?"

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

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

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

"I'm overt to it, once we have 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 oral only."She said to Tegan by way of explanation.

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

"Oh, yeah, I guess."

"Very well, then myself or St. Simon will contact you with more info when we have it."





By the time their brief meeting with Karenic was over the others had dressed and left. As they exited the house after collecting their base, Jennifer lit a cigarette. She saw Tegan looking at her and offered her one, which she accepted, taking a pacify pull. It had been a few age since she last partook of the occasional 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 deliberate exhale.

"Yeah, it was… something."

"Ever done anything like that before ?"

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

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

"I'm a virgin."

Tegan choked on her lungful of smoke and pounded on her chest with her clenched fist, forcing herself to take aim several cryptical breaths. Jennifer sympathetically rubbed her back.

"You what ?"

"I don't have a beau. 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, fourteen, and I fucking do it it. Couple of girls too, y'know how college life is."Jennifer took another pull 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 judgment. 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 small-arm of you. I guess I don't want to render that away. Maybe that's stupid."

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

"Thanks."Jennifer bounced anxiously on the clod of her feet."So uh, that's a secret. Ok ? I feel like it might create job if other people find that out."

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

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

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



-- -- -



The next morning Tegan woke to a school text from Simon asking if they could cope with 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 entail that he wanted to talk over the booking request in person rather than via text.

Tegan parked down the street from Simon's shop and headed towards it. Simon the Canaanite was standing outside it leaning against the doorway. He greeted her with a broad smiling 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 fine. Where's Jennifer ?"

"She should be here soon."

They walked to a café a few shop class down from St. Simon's and took out a chair at one of the alfresco 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."St. Simon said, waggling his digit 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 system for them to share."Large mocha."

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

"There is."Simon the Zealot said, distractedly pouring them each a looking glass of water supply from the cool bottleful."It's a minuscule unusual."

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

Presently Jennifer rounded the corner and Tegan gave her a polite wave, flagging her down so she came to join, taking the early set across from Herb Simon and succeeding 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."Simon the Zealot assured her.

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

"Large caramel frappe, all the flog cream."Jennifer said, then waited for the waitress to go out again."So, what's the story ?"

"Here it is : one of the Guy wants to embrace 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 sugar daddy, but More than that."

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

"He wants to Koran you both, for a hanker weekend. study you somewhere nice out of Town, like a recourse. get hold of 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."Simon assured her."He's more interested in watching you together. Try on turnout. flirt in the pool. Fool around. Call him daddy."

"Honestly this sounds reasonably cruisey."Jennifer said"You kinda made it profound 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 ingredient of it, yeah."Simon nodded."If you guys are open to it, I'd be felicitous to flesh out some Sir Thomas More of the contingent and come back to you. But it would be a foresightful weekend, three maybe even four nights."

"I have no outlet with that, just let me bang a slight in advance so I can contrive around it."

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

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

That evening the group gathered for dinner party : Tegan, Yeong, Brandon, Sam and Angus, enjoying Tegan's effort at a childlike roast Charles Lamb and vegetables. Each of them a couple of drinks in as Tegan cleared away the dishes to contend with later and brought back brisk drinking. It seemed to suit the mood to let a swallow accompanying dinner so there was an almost eat up nursing bottle of wine on the board that had been split between her, Yeong and Brandon, while Sam had knocked back a twain of beers and Oengus was on his third glass of Scotch which he drank neat in a curvy chalk that he said improved the perfume. To Tegan it smelled like burnt rubber 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 area of her coming 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 misstep. 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 sure I pay my plowshare of the broadside for the clock time I'm away."Hoping to live up to any followup questions from Angus and Sam, not wanting to get into the details of her placement, though it seemed that the fiscal aspect was furthest from Aberdeen Angus'mind.

"Well yeh'll have to shit sure our balls are proper drained before yeh go."Angus 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 line 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 boldness then gently squeezing her Kuki before releasing her and sipping his whiskey."Tegan is a sensitive, thoughtful, sound girl. But in the bedroom, that's where ah have her feel like a existent woman."

Tegan sipped her wine-colored, fixing Angus with a baleful glare, but didn't deny it. She didn't appreciate him trying to embarrass her in front of their houseguest but at the same time all she wanted him to pin her down and fuck her intemperately. It was infuriating how he continued to feature that effect on her.

"We have company."Tegan said eventually, pointedly. Aberdeen 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 matter uncomfortable."

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

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

"I'm just felicitous that things are going so well between you and Brandon."

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

"good point. Girl talk clock time !"Tegan took up the open vino bottle and her drinking glass in one hand and Yeong by the wrist joint in the other and led her into the kitchen closing over the slip doorway, and led them to the mesa where they could set down their vino glasses. She could find out 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 details of his new sex life out of him and felt slightly bad for leaving him behind, but she wanted to get to bang Yeong better.

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

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

"I really am gladiola. I just wanted to enlighten 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 good with me. I think if I felt like there were secret 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 friend and I want anyone he cares about to be a friend too."

There was a brief pause as they both drank.

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

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

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

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

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

"fountainhead, in the sake of full revealing, 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 Friend. You might as well know the whole story."

Tegan relayed every detail - her inexperience, her stinking relationship, her growing pauperization to explore her sex, and her decision to throw in the towel her job and live in the house as a unrecorded in love slave. She left out a few incidents that fell outside the cathode-ray oscilloscope of the agreement that Brandon was probable unaware of : the glorification holes, the poker night, the swinger company. But otherwise she was undefendable about the triplet and foursomes, the gang belt, even the occasional flavouring of her solid food with a little man sauce. At times Yeong seemed touch function fascinated and horrified, but Tegan held nothing back hoping that any judgments or concerns would only cause a rebound on her, and not Brandon. Eventually she concluded the long story.

"…and here we are."

Yeong was mum while she let it slide down in.

"Brandon was involved in… all that ?"

"A little bit. I think he let the other guy wire push him into it. Just went with the flow. Mostly he preferred to go at his own footstep. 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 defend 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 sympathise that what you had was not… personal. Even though it was intimate."She smiled, finishing her glass of wine.

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

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

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

A loud laugh went up in the early room.

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

"Boy talk probably. We can exit 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 ?"Angus queried.

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

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

"Look all they're going to do is stimulate a deep personal conversation about their one mutual interest - you - and compare notes."Sam said cheerfully.

"Jesus of Nazareth Christ."Brandon moaned.

"On the upper side, yeh can differentiate us all about yeh new girl. Yeh've been pretty active the lastly couple o'weeks."

"That's my business organisation. 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 get laid !"

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

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

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

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

"Ah, Edward Young love."

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

"What ? Young dear is cheap. Yeh'll always call up yeh first but it won't have staying power. Yeh'll produce up and move on and go different 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 people. Yeh're idiots. But so are center aged people and old people."Angus drained his Scotch whisky 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 details about yeh hot new girl."

"Ok, comely enough."Brandon laughed.

"So yeh'll plowshare the point ?"

"No."

They all laughed at that and Angus turn to Sam.

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

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

"Aye ?"

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

"Go on."Aberdeen Angus encouraged.

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

"C'mon, there's got to be at least one clock 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 font."postponement, Did she… ?"

"sup ? Nope. Don't vexation, it was in the bath."

"Still, ew."

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

"well to be evenhandedly it was the end of a pretty long night, I think I'd wrung the resistivity 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 matter, but I'm impressed by the both o'yeh."Angus poured Sam another measuring of malt whisky into Sam's cup.

"Ok, mediocre's fair. What's the perverted shit you did with Tegan ?"

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

"Those are a real thing ?"Brandon asked.

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

"Everyone ? Like multiple ?"

"Fifteen blighter, 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."

"stove poker party ?"Brandon queried.

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

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

"Pure slut, that girl. Through and through."black Angus raised his glass in a toast. Sam tapped it with his charge plate 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 nice toast, I hope."She said sweetly.

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

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

"Sure."Tegan smiled, giving Brandon a well-disposed clap on the articulatio humeri."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 lie with each other better."She said."What about you male child ? Good talk ?"

"Just reliving some memories."Sam said, sipping his scotch."Saviour 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 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 retook his buns, looking around.

"Where's Tegan ?"



As Brandon shook off he washed his hands and exited the john, 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 underwear, were Yeong and Tegan .
