But not just for Klara...

"Hey honey, how did you feel about today?" I took the bell off her. She was waking up and honestly I wasn't really interested in milking her.

"It was good... I can see why you like him, although I don't find him attractive. Can't deny he's good at sex."

"How do you feel about him?"

"Same as before, I guess? James is a nice guy."

"Yeah, but you feel how dominating he is, right?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"If he asked you to do something, would you do it?"

"Yeah, why not? I trust him and he's a great guy. Is it not the same for you?"

"Well, it's much more than that. If he wants it, I'll do it. Anything."

"Damn, you two must be really close. Why are you asking, though?"

"How do I put this...? I wasn't always so trusting, so willing to let go with James, despite my love... But when I did... Well you remember how I told you how lonely I was growing up and never really had friends until James showed up? It had always made me sad, but now... he made me happy. I feel like I have a future I can look forward to. The reason I'm asking is that... I know you're trying to hide it, but yesterday still hurts you, right?"

"Yeah... It does. The bell helped me process a lot of it well, but... I can't help but feel sad and betrayed."

"I get it. What I wanted to ask was... I know that all the women James brings home... He makes them really happy and in return they would do whatever he asks them to do. He's helped so many of my friends and colleagues and maybe... he could help you too. But well..."

"You mean I could love him the same way you do?"

"Less that, more so willing to go to the same lengths to help him and make him happy as me."

"I... don't know Amber. I get that I'm probably obviously sad and you're just trying to look out for me, but... I want to give it a try on my own, okay? Just give me a couple days and I'll make my decision. If I need help, I'll call James. But what should I do then?"

"Just do everything he asks of you, willingly. I might accompany you two, depending on the circumstances."

"Alright. I love you, Amber. I'll go feed the animals before the night breaks and get them back into the warmth, okay?"

"See you in a bit, honey."

Okay, now the second plan needs to get initialized... I think I finally get what master struggles with sometimes. I'm a writer, I'm supposed to be creative, but I'm slowly running out... At least I still have my old account on that fetish site. I missed that dark black background littered with shady ads. My laptop still had the login info saved, hell yeah... I had some old favorites of mine saved, but I need new stuff. Taking a trip down the homepage, I open a few videos in a new tab to watch later. Suddenly, I received a DM, from an old friend of mine.

'Hey Quartz, long time since you've been online. Been successful irl?'

I had never really spoken about much normal stuff with Nat before, just fetish stuff. Maybe she could help me here. Through our conversations we realized that we were both journalists, but we never went deeper than that.

'Quite! Remember the guy from college that I told you about that I had a crush on? He came back and we're a thing now!'

'Aww, leaving this site for him? Never thought you'd become vanilla.'

'I think the six days he locked me into his basement to be his fuckpet would object to the 'vanilla' part ;)'

'Damn, lucky gal. Hope he treats you alright.'

'Just had a threesome with him and my gf. Currently looking for some inspiration for my next time with my gf.'

'You're making me jealous... How's your job been? Rough time for you too?'

'Eh, fashion stuff winds down at the end of the year.'

'Oh, you're a fashion journalist?'

'Yeah, that's what I write about.'

'See, I'm looking for good interview partners right now. You don't happen to have connections to James Goodman, owner of the GRC? He's also a fashion journalist, I hope you maybe know him through that.'

'What kind of journalist are you then?'

'Local, sadly. Local in the biggest city of the country, but still local.'

'I'll talk with him about it, alright? Anyone else you want me to connect you to? ;)'

'Actually, that college crush turned bf of yours, if you both don't mind. Sounds like he might enjoy another gal.'

'I'll see what I can do. Master likes new women in his harem.'

'Entirely selfless, Quartz, I see. ;)'

'Well looking at your posts I can't help but be curious. But business first. What dates would be good with interviewing James?'

'Uhm, if you can get him quickly, next week on the spot? Otherwise let him set the date.'

'Will do, ma'am o7'

'Haha, probably the last time you'll call me madam until I meet your master.'

'I should warn you, he's good. So good you'll never want to get away. But don't worry, he's kind. I still have my job and he allowed me to have my gf. It's just that we fuck when he feels like it.'

'Sounds great, Quartz. When will you introduce me?'

'Hm, I'd like to hang out with you a bit before... Say, how about after the interview with James, I meet you once we're done and we go from there?'

'Alright. Have fun then.'

'See you soon, Nat.'

Nat is a wonderful sub... Master should be proud of me for getting her, I think. But I need to call him first.

"Hello master."

"Hi Amber, what's up?"

"I was just chatting with an old colleague, let's say. Another journalist. She wants to interview you, maybe next week. How does that sound?"

"Uhhh sure I guess? Anything I need to know about her?"

"Local news, so city-wide. I assume she'll ask more about the company and less about the fashion magazine..."

"Aw, sad. But sure I guess I should do an interview after everything that has happened. Seems inevitable at some point, might as well do it now."

"You'll make her very happy, I'm sure. By the way... if you can, plan in some time for us two after the interview, okay? I'd love to do something naughty together."

"Good idea, Amber. Love you, bye."

Perfect, everything is going according to plan. It'll be a surprise for master and one that he needs. So overworked he forgot that next week is his birthday! I quickly wrote Nat.

'1/1 5PM, tell me a location. Interview has a hard limit of two hours, mainly so we can spend some time together.'

'That was quick, thank you Quartz.'

'Everything that's necessary to give master a new slut hehe...'

'Devious, but I'll bite, I'm quite curious. You know what I'm into?'

'Intimately aware unless your tastes changed since our last rp session?'

'Not one bit. Hope he has ropes.'

'He does, Nat. ;) cya'

Alright, time to message master again.

'Nat said 5PM on New Years. I'll send you the location later, interview will be 2 hours or shorter.'

'Perfect. Can I come over and talk with Klara about today?'

'Sure. I asked her about your help and her accompanying submission, she wants to think about it.'

'Alright, I'm glad you asked her.'

The moment master entered and talked to Klara, I legged it. I had another plan. It's great that he gave me a spare key. I needed to talk to Em.

"Already back? Wait no, Amber? What are you doing here? Forgot something?"

"No, I just wanted to talk with you... What have you planned on New Years with him?"

"Hm? Nothing much. I told you about his lifeline, right?" She pulled a ring out of her pocket.

"Right... Any plans beyond that?"

"Not really, why?"

"That's his birthday. Would you mind leaving early, maybe I can organize something with his partners? You can stay in the city house if you need to be elsewhere. Or probably with Klara."

"N-No thanks, it's alright. I'll make way, I guess." She looked deflated.

"Everything okay? You look down."

"I'm a bit bored, is all. James is too, but he finds something useful to do. Or I guess some people to hang out with."

"You can join us, I'm sure we can become friends in no time."

"Amber, I'm not dumb, he went over to have sex. I'll just disturb you."

"Well, I called him over for sex that we surprised him with, but you're kind of right..."

"Sorry for being a nuisance. I feel so bad because he does so much for me, and I can't possibly ever repay him in kind..."

"Honestly, just stay safe and keep working with him, I doubt he wants anything more than that."

"Yeah, but I can't help but feel like it's unequal. The ring alone is worth thousands, access to a house and living on his costs for several days, it all adds up. He does so much for me... He even asked me for Christmas presents that I wanted and when I told him nothing he still gave me a box of chocolates."

"Haha, that's very much him. Part of the reason I feel in love with him in the first place."

"Love... you know, that's what bothers me. He seems so... disinterested in me. I know it's partially my fault for not having a lot going on in my life, but he just told me to watch TV or play some video games to pass the time. You know, with everything, I wish he would just love me or lust after me. Would help me feel less guilty about everything he does for me without asking for anything in return and it would mean he'd actually do stuff with me instead of us sitting in the same room, silent. Until he leaves to have sex or I have to listen to him fuck from the next room over."

"You heard Jane too last night?"

"Well you can't fall asleep to that, can you?"

"I'm surprised you used Isabella's mattress though..."

"Isabella? Oh, that's his mom, right. He offered it to me. I was surprised too, I had expected him to invite me to his bedroom too."

"Well that's James for you. If you want to spend the night with him - whatever you understand that to mean - you have to tell him and if necessary just make it happen. I assume you've made it very clear that you weren't interested before and if he genuinely doesn't have any feelings of that sort for you anyway, he'll leave you alone thinking it's what you would have wanted anyway. You either tell him or do nothing. And if you end up in his bed... He probably still won't lay a finger on you unless you ask him to. Can I ask... what do you want from him? I'm not jealous, just curious."

"I don't quite know yet. Sure I don't find him hot but that means little when I find nobody hot. But well, I do feel love and his actions make me feel loved. The way he cares for me and goes out of his way to help me... It's beautiful. But I don't think he feels the same way. Sexually or romantically."

"That seems to be the case. You have two options, I think. Either you ignore your feelings, let the next week pass and once your dad is finally dead you'll just move on. Alternatively... you try, maybe desperately, to get him to love you. I can probably convince him to give you a shot if you try anything, but make sure he doesn't know that we talked much. He admires you as a friend, so you have a good jumping off point."

"Thanks Amber, I owe you one. I'll see what tonight brings, okay? Then we talk further. I'll stay the night because my dad wants me to."

"Alright, see you."

James

Hm, seems like Amber and Klara told the truth before. It really was Klara's idea because she felt bad for Amber. And yeah, Amber was right of course, it feels weird to interrupt their relationship just because I want to empty my balls in Amber. But I guess that's what I'll be doing in the future. I mean, I want to, but I'm glad that Klara seems to be genuinely understanding and doesn't seem to take it to heart. I returned home.

"Em, I'm getting kinda tired, good night."

"Uhm, James... can I sleep in your bed tonight? We... kinda have to act more like a couple, so we should be getting used to being closer to one another."

"If you think so... My plan was mainly to keep us separate in public just so we don't have to be intimate, you know? Why then be intimate in private, where nobody can see us anyway?"

"Yeah, but isn't that kind of suspicious anyway? For us to always be apart?"

"Hm, I guess you're right. You tell me when we need to act more like a couple in public in the future, okay?"

"Will do."

With that, I went to bed and Em followed five minutes later. It was weird lying in my bed with someone else and not be horny. Kind of great to know that I hadn't become a crazed sex monster yet.
