Get interrupted

"So...", I began asking her after we lay in bed, naked, "How should we proceed? I'm a bit unsure if we should go further step by step or maybe go all in and start fucking? Also we haven't even talked about what we're into, right?" I never thought about it, but relationships seem so complicated. And fuck, I didn't have condoms either.

Before Amber could even answer, my phone rang. No, not my smartphone, my landline. "At this hour? Sorry Amber, this must be important, I'll be right back." She looked at me like a puppy who had seen me tuck away her treats, very adorable.

"Hello?" I could hear my mom crying. Oh God what happened?

"H-Hey James, I know it's late but can we talk soon? It's important. Could you come over after work tomorrow?"

"Uh, sure, I can come tomorrow. What's going on, mom?"

"It's about your brother and your dad, they went on a week-long fishing trip and..." I could hear her cry again and then blow her nose again. "I'll tell you everything tomorrow, okay? You're not in trouble, I just need someone to talk, okay?"

"Sure mom, good night, I love you. See you tomorrow."

"Good night honey."

When I returned, Amber was on her phone. I quickly grabbed mine. "My mom wants to talk with me tomorrow about something. It seems very important to her, but she didn't give me any details, she was crying the entire time. So tomorrow will be a normal day for you again." I smiled, hoping to lighten the mood a bit. She responded: "I hope everything'll turn out alright. I'm sure you can keep her company and cheer her up. You did so with me, at least."

Amber was fully cheerful, it was a nice change compared to hearing my mom be so sad. "Give me a minute, I need clear my head and get back in the mood, then we can start what we had planned", I said. It was a half lie, honestly. I did need to gather my thoughts, but mainly for the app. Was there anything I overlooked? I felt guilty for the traits on Amber.

Indeed, I had overlooked something. A bar at the bottom of the screen appeared with multiple menus. The first new column was simply called "Location".

Location trait unlocked: Home Normal Home
Every trait activated in your home will be seen as normal and be accepted by everyone in the house, never raising any suspicion. Overrides traits that do not make the subject's or user's actions seem normal to those around them.

Interesting concept. So at least within this house, everyone would just accept that Amber acts as my wingman and returns anything intimate as soon as possible, in kind? Neat. The next tab was called "User Perks".

User trait unlocked (0 Total SP): Immunity
User becomes immune to and is cured of all STDs. The user is also unable to spread STDs. The same applies to all registered subjects with more than 0SP.

Hey, I'm glad the app is looking out for me. Judging by the unlock condition, it seems to be given to all users immediately? Seems like they really expect you to fuck everyone you can get to agree, huh? I hope this also means that this is nothing personalized, or I would have just dodged a bullet that I didn't even know was shot towards me. It also seems like the total SP gathered on everyone unlocks these things, which is pretty neat.

User trait unlocked (100 Total SP): Pregnancy Lock
User can choose whether impregnation is possible, thus eliminating the need for birth control methods.

Thank god, these upgrades all seem really helpful. If the app wasn't... this eerie, I might actually be incentivized to collect more SP on people to get more items. There was also a "Shop" tab.

In the shop, you can upgrade traits! You may also sell traits and locks to get SP more easily, but selling them is permanent and cannot be undone, nor can they be regained.

Huh, I guess this is a way to deactivate traits. But then again... permanently? Ugh, now I'm getting anxious about needing them in the future. At least we could have safe sex despite my lack of preparations. I turned to Amber and jokingly said "Alright, I'm feeling better, but now I need to get horny too." She chuckled and seemed charmed that I stared at her body.

Amber

It felt like yesterday evening again. I can't exactly explain it, but last night and now, he had this kind of... let's call it an aura around him that made me just want to go along with his ideas. It made him so fucking hot, too. I felt strangely relaxed being around him like this. For others, this... aura might seem oppressive or threatening, but not for me. I knew James and I knew him well. When he asks me to do things or I just know that he'd want me to do something, it feels like your more experienced best friend or older sibling giving you advice. You might be hesitant at first, but deep down you know you should trust them because they know better, and that's what James felt like now.

He could ask me to come to work naked tomorrow and I'd do it, it seems hot, it'd make him happy, and that was all the reason I'd need to do it. But the reason why I'd do it is also just that I know him well and I know what I'm getting myself into. I think. I don't think he's an awful person and put me in danger. Nor is he stupid enough to put himself in danger.

"Like what you see? Regarding your earlier question by the way... I'm very subby. If you're willing to take charge we can have a lot of fun together."

"R-Really?", he asked. He seemed shocked, but also doubtful. "You always seemed like a very... determined woman in college? And last time didn't seem very subby either..."

"I'm sorry for Tuesday, honestly!" I blurt out, apologizing "I j-just thought that... i-it'd never work out otherwise. You always seemed so timid so I wanted to do something that shows you that... I had these feeling towards you, you know. That I was serious." I briefly pause, he doesn't really change his demeanor. "If you want, maybe you could punish me for daring to take charge? If you'd like that?", I wink at him. Spanking or such isn't really my favorite part of being a sub, but if it makes him happy. Not like I'm supposed to make that many decisions if he wants to dom anyway, hehe.

"N-No, it's fine, I won't do that." After a brief pause, he continues: "W-Well for now, maybe. It could be interesting. I think I'm very much a dom, but I've never tried it in real life, you know? I'm not sure how much of domming appeals to me for being just a fantasy, where I'm not held back by my insecurities anymore, and how much I'm really into it. Do you really like to be a sub?"

"Yeah. Not so much for other women but for guys? Definitely. Especially hot ones like you." He blushed a little, it's very adorable. He's clearly new to all of this and has a bit of catching up to do, but I'll be all his for whatever he's got planned. "I just love the feeling of being able to let go after a hard day's work. No pressure to do the right thing, just being told what to do and doing it. Writing is a mentally exhausting job, so my brain wants a break, but my body can fuck for longer."

"I think this will work out great." He beamed in excitement. "Now, I want to try out several things with you. But most importantly, tell me honestly how I'm doing, okay? If it hurts or you know a way to make it better, tell me."
