Invitations

“My chances of what? Did you just say ‘survival’?” You ask, trying to confirm that you heard Becca’s statement correctly. Becca nods. Her serious demeanor not cracking one bit from your question.

She meant what she said.

Which begs the question…

What the hell does she mean by that?

You look towards Viv, seeking any clarification she can give you. Viv shrugs, signaling that she doesn’t know what Becca could mean by that either.

“Why would your dad threaten to kill me for having multiple girlfriends?” You finally ask, very much aware that the answer is actually pretty obvious once you say it out loud.

“Oh.” You add in immediate realization, and Viv actually stifles a laugh after hearing your question as well. Becca finally cracks and lets out an amused laugh herself.

“I exaggerate.” Becca finally admits.

“My father actually wouldn’t threaten you in any way. I’m certain of that much. He’ll probably talk your ear off with questions though. Especially with regards to your ability to build an impressive harem like you have. He would definitely hound you for pointers.” Becca explains. “In fact, most of the men at the gala would probably be relentless in asking how you are able to pull it off. So if you want to leave with your sanity intact, I’d advise you to buy the trait where no one would find it odd that you’re walking around with your harem.” Becca adds on.

“Can we not just tell them I have multiple girlfriends?” You ask her.

“I’m going with you, so technically you’ll be my date too. So if you’re there as Becca’s date and I’m also there as Becca’s date, and you’re also there to be my date…” Viv starts explaining in a roundabout way, so you interrupt her.

“I get it. All three of us will be there as each other’s dates. It’ll raise some questions.” You sum up her thoughts for her.

“Oh! Of course. My invitation wasn’t clear. Not just the three of us, actually.” Becca says in reaction. “I’m inviting everyone to the gala. Everyone that knows about your secret now, I mean.” Becca clarifies.

“Oh~, I can’t answer for everyone, but I’ll ask them tomorrow if they’re free.” You answer Becca.

“If everyone’s going we could just say that it’s just a platonic thing.” Viv points out. You don’t even take her suggestion into consideration and immediately go behind her, and give her a hug from behind.

“No.” You say in your best/worst attempt at a cutesy voice. “I’m proud of all of you as my girlfriends, girlfriend. I’m not hiding our love.” You start saying sincerely, but immediately break into a chuckle, just from knowing how cheesy the last thing you said was. Viv gets a kick out of it, and Becca is trying her best not to convey the cringe on her face; which she’s obviously failing at.

“By the way, what’s the dress code?” You ask her.

“Black tie optional.” Becca responds.

“Optional means I don’t have to wear a tux, right? I’m not sure my tuxedo from eighteen years ago would still fit me.” You joke.

“Any dark colored suit would be fine. White button-up would be preferred.” Becca informs you.

“Your last tuxedo was from your prom?” Viv asks in a non-judgmental tone. Almost as if she’s happy to learn small details about you.

“Wedding.” You answer awkwardly, and Viv immediately gets an awkward look on her face, and you do too.

“Moving on!” Viv immediately says to try and cut the awkwardness short. “Why didn’t you ask us this when everyone was here? It would've been easier for us to plan.” Viv asks Becca about a valid point.

“I… I only just remembered it. After everything we needed to talk about, plus Jay suddenly telling us his secret, it seemed like such a trivial thing to remember.” Becca answers Viv.

“Oh~, please.” Viv remarks, doubtful of the truthfulness in Becca’s answer. “Just admit it. Wittle Becca was scayuhd of asking the group out.” Viv mockingly antagonizes her. Becca leers at Viv for the mockery.

“You will pay for that, Vivian.” Becca responds. You haven’t seen it in a while, but the Becca you met back at Dorsia is definitely making an appearance right now.

“Oh, I was counting on it, Mistress.” Viv replies, not backing down from Becca. “Don’t act like this isn’t your end goal to begin with.” Viv adds, with a smug smirk across her lips. “Don’t wait up. Don’t wait up.” Viv repeats Becca’s answer to Stella earlier in a mocking tone.

Not exactly liking the energy the two of them are putting out, since it’s eerily similar to the antagonizing one they had back at Brooke’s gym before they patched things up; you address them to try and calm them down.

“Guys, come on. Relax. You guys just made up. This is something incredibly trivial to argue over.” You try to reason with them. Viv and Becca’s demeanors completely change in an instant.

“Oh, we’re not being serious-serious.” Viv informs.

“We consider this foreplay, Jay.” Becca adds.

“I’m acting like a bratty sub to give Becca an opening to ‘discipline’ me.” Viv explains, making it clear that that was apparently just roleplay.

“You know it’s creepy how you guys can turn that switch on out of nowhere, right?” You jokingly ask them, which gets a chuckle out of them. “At least warn a guy.” You add.

“We understand your confusion. It just comes natural to Vivian and I.” Becca assures you.

“Did you guys have this planned out when you talked earlier?” You continue to ask.

“Nope. I just assumed this is what Becca stayed behind for and why she asked you to stay over.” Viv answers. “Are you not ready to try this out tonight?” Viv asks you.

“Me? Viv, I’m down to do whatever it takes. If it helps you find clarity in your desire for me, I’ll do it. Don’t worry about me. I’m more concerned about you. You just went through something emotional tonight with Becca. Are you sure you’re ready to try and do stuff with the both of us?” You ask her.

“Hey~” Viv says while putting her hand on your cheek. “My desire for you is not in question. It’s just… I haven’t had sex in a while; vanilla or otherwise. My last experience with vanilla sex was disappointing to say the least, and that’s why I’ve stuck to my kink for so long. Then, my last experience with being dommed was worse than that. It even led to something… traumatic? I guess that would be the best word to describe it.” Viv confesses.

“So, yeah. I have my hang-ups, but it doesn’t mean I’m not sure about my desire for you. There’s just so many factors that’s keeping me from fully jumping back into those deep waters, you know?” Viv explains to you, more honest and more clearly than she did before.

You place your own hand on top of Viv’s, before taking it and giving it a kiss. Becca takes Viv’s other hand, and she gives it a comforting squeeze.

“We don’t have to jump into deep waters already, Vivian. We can build up your confidence in Jay as your partner, whether it be as your dom or as a fellow sub when it’s with me. You asked me for help. I’ll do the best I can to do just that.” Becca assures her, and you and Viv simultaneously give her appreciative smiles.

“You said you were able to tell of Viv’s hesitancy with your app, correct?” Becca asks you, and you nod in response. “Check it now. See what it says.” Becca instructs you. You look at Viv, instinctively asking for her permission now that she knows about the app. Viv gives you the go ahead, and you take your phone out and open the app to check Viv’s scores.

- Nguyen, Vivian - Affection Score: 100.

Love Score: 71 (+10)

Lust Score: ??

“Viv’s still hesitant.” You inform Becca.

“How does it tell you that information exactly? I’m assuming it doesn’t tell you the reason behind the hesitancy. Otherwise, Vivian need not have explained it to you.” Becca asks you.

“In general, it shows a numerical number for each score; but when someone is unsure of how they feel, it shows two question marks instead. So Viv’s Lust Score right now are just question marks.” You inform both of them about that specific mechanic.

“It’s nice to know that even magic doesn’t know what I want, because I don’t know what I want either.” Viv jokes, chuckling at her own joke, but you can see she’s trying to mask the frustration she’s feeling underneath her joking facade.

“So the app is accurate in that regard. It knows you both want it, and not want it simultaneously.” Becca observes.

“Is Vivian the first time you’ve encountered such a phenomenon?” Becca then asks.

“No. I saw it with Tanya before. Her Love Score showed the same thing after we slept together.” You answer Becca.

“How were you able to solve that particular conundrum?” Becca continues.

“I-uh~... have no fucking clue.” You answer, trying to mask your incompetence with a chuckle.

“One day she was confused, and then the next time I checked, she wasn't.” You tell Becca.

“You must have done something.” Viv remarks.

“We went on a date and-uh… defined the relationship, I guess.” You reply.

“Then immediately left her hanging to sleep with your daughter.” Viv points out, unable to control her laughter. A loud “Hey!” is the only thing you could say in reaction. As you can’t deny the accuracy of her joke.

“So you removed all doubt. That’s how the question marks went away.” Becca observes.

“Then we’ll do just that for Vivian. We remove all her doubts.” Becca encourages you.

“How do we do that exactly?” You finally ask, and Becca turns to Viv once more.

“Would you prefer to do it here?” Becca asks her.

“Bedroom.” Viv answers her, before walking towards her bedroom door. You and Becca follow her. You stop behind Viv, but Becca walks ahead of Viv and is looking directly at the closed door.

“Before we begin, let’s clarify some things for Jay. Once we’re inside Vivian’s bedroom, the play begins. I’ll try to serve the dual purpose of introducing this kind of play to you, as well as slowly reintroducing Vivian to being dommed. If we do things right, maybe even allow Vivian to enjoy vanilla sex again.” Becca addresses both of you.

“Sounds ambitious.” Viv says in reaction.

“Shoot for the stars, so if you fall you land on a cloud.” You try to explain what you think is Becca’s thought process.

“Indeed.” Becca replies. “Although, I’m not familiar with that variation of the saying.” Becca adds. “That being said, I don’t particularly plan to land on a cloud.” Becca says confidently.

“Viv, you know what to do.” Becca says as a statement, and not a question; and taking control of the conversation again. “Jay, follow my lead at all times.” Becca then commands you.

“What would you like to be called during this session, Vivian?” Becca then asks Viv.

“I am your slut, Mistress.” Viv answers nonchalantly.

“Jesus Christ.” You can’t help but react.

“Is that what you would like to be called during our session, Jay?” Becca asks, sounding serious; but Viv stifles a laugh so you at least know they’re both not completely gone into their own fetishized little world yet.

“Uh~... Jay’s fine.” You answer.

“He’s my Daddy, Mistress.” Viv immediately says right after, and you stand next to her to see if she’s being serious or not. Viv sees you stand next to her, and sees the confusion in your face as to what’s going on.

“It’s best to pick an alter ego and delineate yourself from the roleplay. It sets clearer boundaries that way, and it helps someone to be more free during it.” Viv explains.

“Well said, slut.” Becca responds.

“Thank you, Mistress.” Viv replies.

“I assume your safe word is the same as before, slut?” Becca asks, and Viv answers in the affirmative.

“What’s your safe word?” You ask Viv.

“Metapod.” Viv answers.

“Oh, okay. Meta- Metapod!? The pokèmon?” You ask her in a mix of surprise and amusement.

“It’s best to use words that are unique enough that they’re memorable for both parties and don’t have an obvious sexual connotation.” Becca explains.

“Not if you know pokèmon.” You say under your breath; which Viv hears, and she quietly giggles next to you.

“I’ll tell you about why I chose Metapod, later.” Viv whispers next to you.

“By the way, I thought we were going to ease into it? How come we’re already doing safe words?” You ask Becca.

“Whatever intensity the play, it’s best to provide a clear indication when to stop.” Becca answers.

“Yeah. Sometimes, even with just light play, a sub can feel discomfort; and I mean mental or emotional discomfort. Enough that they wouldn’t want to continue anymore.” Viv explains.

“Slut, tell your Daddy what he should call me.” Becca orders Viv.

“Daddy, this is Mistress, and she should be addressed as such at all times.” Viv tells you.

“Is that instruction clear?” Becca asks, and you assume it’s directed at you.

“Yeah.” You answer.

“Apparently not clear enough.” Becca comments, and you get a light elbowing from Viv.

“Oh! Right. Sorry. Yes, Mistress.” You correct yourself.

“Tell your Daddy what he should do once we begin, slut.” Becca orders Viv again.

“Daddy should always aim to please our Mistress and not disappoint her.” Viv answers.

“What happens if Mistress is disappointed?” Becca asks.

“This slut gets disciplined.” Viv answers once more.

“Is that clear, Daddy?” Becca addresses you again.

“Yes, Mistress.” You answer, not wanting to make the same mistake twice. Although, you’re not really feeling the whole roleplay they’re into yet, but you’re hoping that’ll go away once it actually starts.

“Any questions?” Becca asks, and you and Viv answer her in the negative.

“Then let’s begin.”
