Girl friends

Leaf was having a great time. She had got her head around the work and she was beginning to enjoy the sisterly comradery of the maids. Most of them anyway. Some were determined to be awful to her but she had made enough friends that she wasn’t being bothered by them. Not that she actually minded. It excited her slightly, being intimidated by these maids who once upon a time had begged for more and wailed with pleasure in her bed. Now they looked at her with disdain and flexed their obvious strength over her. At least, they would but her friends kept them from taking it too far.

She had her responsibilities and she fulfilled them with her labour. She had to work hard and it left her sore and tired but she had never had to put that much effort into anything let alone something so mundane as removing dust. She relished the feeling of fatigue and the easing of her aches in a hot bath that stung her skin when she first got in and would make her dizzy if she stayed in too long.

There was of course Pip as well. Most nights they would end up in bed together. Pip loved the physical contact. She was naturally inclined to be close to people and most of the other maids didn’t let her get so friendly with them so she poured her affection onto Leaf. Leaf didn’t mind. Sex had always been one of her preferred pastimes and Pip was a uniquely pleasurable lover and a good friend.

While work at the palace was hard, the maids were given regular time off and they had a rotating shift pattern to facilitate that. It transpired that Leaf’s days off were coinciding with some of the maids she was closer to. They sat in the mess room eating as the girls planned a night out. “We should go into the town and get drunk. We have tomorrow off to recover,” said Flare, a salamander girl with a long red lizard tail and patches of red scales on her orange skin. Leaf had enjoyed sleeping with Flare in the past due to her high body temperature making for some exciting sensations.

“Yes,” said Cilla, a demon kin whose mother had been a dragon and had carried some of her mother's fiercer attributes in her appearance, not least her large leathery wings and golden-slitted eyes. “It’s been so long since we went out to party.”

“I wouldn't mind getting laid,” sighed Erryn. “The Maou hasn’t been around much recently.”

“Do you mind sleeping with the Maou?” Leaf asked, curious to hear their uncensored opinions.

Erryn thought for a moment before she said, “I wish he was a little bigger. I like to feel small but he really is pretty and a real sweetheart. I don’t mind at all. What about you girls.”

Cilla shrugged. “Much the same. I’d like to get bitten or roughed up a bit and he’s just too sweet to do that kind of thing. He can be really scary when he’s being the boss but in person, he’s a softie. I wouldn’t dare say no to him but I wouldn’t say no anyway, he’s nice.”

“I think he’s great,” said Flare, dreamily.

“Why do you say that?” asked Leaf, her ego swelling at the girl's positive opinion of her other self.

“Not a lot of guys can handle my body temperature, especially when I get excited, I get really hot. There aren’t a lot of races that can take the heat so I'd be stuck playing with my obsidian dildo if it wasn’t for him. Doesn't stop the guys from trying though. It makes me laugh watching them trying to put up with it just to get inside me. There have been a few singed cocks in the palace.”

Leaf could well believe it. Flare was hot in more than the literal sense. The fact that she had to wear a special maid outfit made of chainmail that showed off most of her skin was also a contributing factor to the attention she got.

Erryn was also very popular but that was mostly down to her truly massive breasts that, thanks to her robust frame, still managed to retain their firmness and levity. Cilla was a little too fierce looking to be as desirable as the others and she had something of a reputation for her temper. Leaf had come to realise that she was actually just a little awkward and it came across as aggression. She was very feisty in bed and due to her enormous strength Leaf had never been aggressive back. It seems that some light injuries might have been welcomed. Still, she felt a sense of pride that these maids at least liked the Maou.

“Come on, let's go out tonight. Leaf hasn’t seen the town yet,” urged Flare.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” asked Erryn. “She’s a human. We don’t exactly get a lot of them around here and she will really stand out. She’s also kind of weak. No offence,” She added as she realised she had just been rude.

“None taken. I am pretty weak, even for a human and I don’t have any magic. Still, I think I’d like to go. It would be nice to spend time with you girls,” Leaf said with a beaming smile.

“She is so cute,” said Cilia, dramatically. “I think my heart just burst. That settles it, girls' night. Do you have something to wear, Leaf?”

“Maybe, I’m not sure what is fashionable,” said Leaf.

“Anything that gets the guy's attention, beyond that it’s just preference,” said Flare.

“I’m not sure I do then.”

“Let’s ask Rouge, she’s a similar build,” suggested Erryn, clearly warming up to the idea.

“Rouge dresses like a slut,” groaned Cilia.

“Sounds perfect to me,” laughed Flare.

“What do you think?” Erryn asked Leaf.

Rouge did dress slutty. In fact, Rouge had one hell of a reputation among the guards. The idea of borrowing something from her was a little thrilling. “Let’s ask Rouge,” said Leaf with a smile and a cheer erupted from the other girls.

The quartet of maids dragged Leaf off to Rouge’s quarters and picked out a backless dress that both hung off yet clung to her curves. Rouge also did Leafs makeup for her. After they were done, Leaf looked at herself in the mirror. I would have fallen for me in an instant, she thought as she looked at her delicate body so displayed.

The others had to finish getting ready so Leaf went back to her room. Pip looked at her with a questioning expression and an upwards hum as she walked in. “I’m going into town with some of the girls. Do you want to come?”

Pip shook her head making her jelly hair wobble. “I don’t like crowds. I’d rather stay here,” she said.

“I didn’t want you to think you weren’t invited. You are my friend.”

Leaf suddenly found herself swept into a hug. “You are my very good friend too,” said Pip as her head slid into view.

“Ah, watch my makeup,” panicked Leaf as her arms were pinned by her side.

Pip hummed and gave her a very light kiss on the cheek. “I will miss our cuddles. I will have to cuddle you, even more, tomorrow to make up for it.
