An Energetic Evening

Chloe led Mark through town and then out of town into the forest towards the mountain. They reached a secluded glade with a crystal clear pond. Chloe looked back at Mark as she let her clothes fall to the ground. “Care for a dip?” Chloe stepped into the clear cool water.

Mark walked to the edge and asked. “What’s the pond do?”

“Nothing. I promise. I checked with Freya specifically to avoid the previous issue with the hot spring. It's just a cool, clean pond.”

Mark nodded and then stripped down and slowly got in. Mark shivered a bit as he submerged his body. “Dang this is cold.”

Chloe swam over to Mark and pressed up against his back. “Here let me warm you up a bit then.”

“Not that I’m complaining, and I realize I might have derailed your plans a bit but is skinny dipping the rest of the date?”

“No… but it was the part where I had planned to seduce you into having sex with me. I hadn’t expected you to just barge in and fuck me in the changing room.”

“Well I’m sorry for throwing off your plans a second time, but I need some time to recover before I’m ready to go again.”

“It’s fine. This date is actually going much better than I had hoped for. I think just relaxing and letting the water wash away our worries is a nice way to spend some time. Plus we can chat.”

“That sounds great. I could use time to let go of things.”

The two just floated on their backs for a bit while holding hands. Chloe then asked. “Mark, can you tell me a bit about yourself?”

“Sure, what would you like to know? I would like to think of myself as an open book.”

“A lot to be honest. I don’t know much about you besides what I remember from college which is honestly not much and the small bits and pieces I’ve managed to pick up while on the show. I know you have siblings, your father passed away some time ago, and you don’t seem overly close with your family. You studied data science and got a Masters degree but are unemployed. As far as hobbies, you're a geek. That’s about it.”

“I hate to say it but that’s a fairly good summary of me.”

“Okay but what kind of music do you like?”

“Oh boy. You are going to be disappointed going down that general line of questions. I like most types of music. I didn’t care for R&B and rap for a while. That was more about the content than the style that I didn’t care for though. For my long playlist though, musicals, disney, rock and roll, pre-2000s country, celtic and sea shanties.”

“What about heavy metal?”

“A bit. Why are you into that?”

“Yeah. It really helped me just let out my rage about things in the car. What about your siblings? Do you talk with them much?”

“Eh… My older brother and I play games online fairly regularly, but the frequency can get really erratic at times. I do not care for my younger brother or his wife. I barely tolerate them and that is mostly because I actually like their kids.”

“What’s wrong with them?”

“Compared to them, Talia at the start of the show was a liberal deviant. For clarification, that is likely how they would refer to her.”

Chloe winced in sympathy. “Oh, that sucks.”

“What about your siblings? I know your family situation wasn’t great.”

“I love them, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. They all come to me with their problems. I’m like both big sister and mom to them. I’m just glad none of them actually call me mom. I still would do anything for those four and I know they would do almost anything for me. What made you get into data science?”

“A shared interest with a friend in high school. I actually got into programming and started there but learned it wasn’t what I wanted to do exactly. I’m curious what brought on these questions?”

“Well… I’ve been feeling like you have been trying to get to know us, but I don’t know how many of us are really taking the time to get to know you particularly well. That isn’t how a relationship is supposed to work. So, I’d like to get to know some more things about you, beyond surface level stuff. Honestly I’m a little jealous at how easily Flora has been finding books in the library, because I think she’s learned a lot about you because of it.”

“Thanks, for putting in the effort to get to know me too. I think it is different for each of them. So, don’t judge the others for how they are working on getting to know me okay?”

Chloe squeezed Mark’s hand. “Sure.”

“As for the books, have you really spent time in the library at all? I haven’t heard of you going there.”

Chloe thought about the book she had been reading and went red. She tried to turn her face away which caused her to lose balance and start sinking. She started to tread water but Mark noticed how flustered she had gotten.

Mark started treading water and looked at her. “Okay, spill. Why did that fluster you?”

“I… I can’t tell you.”

“Don’t be embarrassed. I won’t judge.”

“No. I mean it. I can’t.”

“I see, so you made a promise to someone. Okay.”

Chloe could see that Mark was going to keep asking questions. “Please drop it. Don’t probe this.”

Mark nodded. “Sure.” Mark swam over to the side of the pond where he saw there were large stones that looked like perfect seats. He picked one that let him stay submerged up to his shoulders. Chloe followed after and instead of picking a seat of her own she sat on Mark’s lap leaning back into his chest. Mark wrapped his arms around her. They just sat in silence enjoying the warmth of each other’s bodies in the cool water. Eventually Mark noticed that Chloe had fallen asleep in his arms.

Chloe woke up to find herself in a soft warm bed. The smell of garlic and onions wafted through the room. Sitting up she realized she was in Mark’s suite, and felt hungry. Pulling the covers off she noticed that she was still naked but her clothes were folded neatly on the nightstand. She put on her bunny outfit, and then went to join Mark in the kitchen. She found him cooking on the stove. “You cook?”

“Welcome back to the land of the living. Also, kind of? I can produce edible dishes, I wouldn’t say I’m a good cook though. Making teriyaki stir fry. I was just about to try and wake you, so perfect timing.”

“Anything I can do to help?”

“Can you plate the rice in the rice cooker over there? Other than that, no. Just have to wait for everything to finish cooking.” A few minutes later Mark plated the stir fry and they dug in.

“Okay this is more than just edible Mark.” Chloe said after swallowing her first mouthful. “It’s not an upper end restaurant good, but this is easily better than a lot of take out I’ve gotten.”

“Well thank you.”

“Where did you learn to cook?”

“Mostly the internet and experimentation.”

“Same, honestly. I mostly made food from what I had available. I couldn’t be picky. I’ll say this is better than anything I’ve made myself.”

“I’m sure you are just being self-critical there. I’m willing to bet you are a fine cook.”

“Well don’t go expecting me to prepare your meals for you. I’ve had enough of that. I might cook for you on occasion but it isn’t going to be a regular thing.”

They continued to eat just enjoying the food. As Chloe was nearing finishing off her plate, she said. “I’m sorry for falling asleep on you.”

“It’s fine. I’ve unfortunately done that a few times this week to some of the others. Can’t get upset when the same thing happens to me. Besides, I still had a good time. I will say you are a really heavy sleeper though. That or you were just exhausted from worrying too much.”

“Probably both. Would you like to watch a movie first or can I take the bunnies?”

“You can take the bunnies if you want.”

“Any chance I can convince you to take one of them?”

“No. I don’t trust myself not to knock you up if I do. Pretty sure I’ll have the ability and desire to do that as Mary too if I take it.” Chloe nodded, and took out the three bunnies. “Is there a reason you aren’t getting someone else to take them?”

“I was going to get Flora and Merida to take one each, but I decided this is my fuck up. I’ll resolve it.”

“Okay.” Mark got out two glass bottles, and passed one to Chloe.

“What is this?”

“Well… I figure you are probably going to be fairly insatiable taking all three of those, so I grabbed the both of us vigor enhancements potions. So our bodies can keep up with your desire.” Mark raised his bottle towards Chloe. She clinked it with her own. “Bottoms up.”

-400 BP Mark -> 14125 BP

After drinking the potion Chloe felt electric. “Holy crap! I feel like I could run a marathon right now.” Mark chuckled at that. “Okay time to see the rest of the effects of these guys.” Chloe bit down on the first bunny. She noticed her skin darkened slightly, and she felt hornier. As she finished the first one she noticed a craving set in and licked her lips.

“So? How’s my slutty little bunny feeling?” Mark asked as he rested his chin on top of his hands.

“Like I need a cock inside me.”

“Well, you have two more to take. As you aren’t getting any cock until you finish those.”

“What if this bunny just hopped on you?”

“I’ll become Mary and then there won’t be a cock for you.”

“Well shit.” Chloe went ahead and ate the next two. The effects increased but she also noticed her lips swell significantly while her breasts and ass both got slightly bigger too.

Mark smirked, as he noticed Chloe licking her newly plump lips repeatedly. He reached across the table and grabbed her collar. “How about I give you a real dessert? Be a good little cocksucker and get under the table.”

Chloe moved on instinct and was on her knees and under the table practically ripping off Mark’s pants. As soon as his cock was exposed she was sucking him off.

“Holy shit, Chloe. I don’t know if this is the candy, if you are a natural or just a slut with a lot of practice but fuck, you feel like a pro.” Mark placed a hand on the back of her head and pushed her head down to take his whole cock into her mouth which she eagerly took. She sucked on it like a vacuum, quickly causing him to cum down the back of her throat, causing her to orgasm herself. She pulled herself off Mark for a second to breathe.

“Good thing you bought those potions because I’m nowhere near satisfied. Could we move to either the living room or bed? I would prefer something softer to kneel on.”

“Sure, which would you like?”

“Let’s go to the living room. Throw on a movie or something but expect me to be sucking or fucking you the rest of the night.”

Mark moved to the couch and just as Chloe was about to kneel in front of him, he grabbed her hips to turn her around and impaled her on his cock. Causing her to spasm and lean back into him and rest her head on his shoulder. “Fuck Mark. You know just what I want.”

Mark grabbed the tablet, and looked through what to watch and then had a wicked idea. He set the tablet down and pulled Chloe by the base of her hair back and started to bounce her on his cock. “You are such a slut. You know that right?”

“Fuck. Yes. But I’m your slut.”

“I bet you would let any of the others fuck you if I told you wouldn’t you? Because you are such a little dirty slut, who gets off on being messed with. Aren’t you?”

“Fuck you. I wouldn’t let anyone besides you and Aubrey have me.”

“Oh I doubt that.”

“Go fuck yourself Mark.”

Mark pulled her head back and twisted it so he could kiss her. “Nah, I have my fuck toy right here. Now you are going to be honest with me, understand? Tell me who else besides Aubrey in the harem you want to fuck you. There is no way a bitch like you would be satisfied with just the two of us.”

“Get— OW MOTHERFUCKER” Mark had leaned over and bit down hard on one of her nipples.

“Not yet. But that could be arranged if you wanted. You seemed pretty willing to let me breed you earlier. Is that what my slutty little fuck toy wants?”

Chloe spasmed in pleasure as she climaxed again. “Don’t you dare. After all, you wouldn’t want to piss off your precious Allie. She has you so wrapped around her finger, that—” (SLAP)

Mark growled. “Don’t ever talk about her like that again.” Mark yanked back on Chloe’s hair. “Do I make myself clear?”

“Yes.” Shit he sounds genuinely pissed that didn’t seem like acting. “I’m sorry.”

“Now, you are going to promise to be honest with me tonight. Then answer my question.”

“No I’m not.”

“Oh we’ll see.” Mark lifted Chloe off him and pushed her to the ground. Then transformed into Mary. “I wonder how long you’ll last before caving and making that promise. I bet right now I could get anything I wanted out of you.”

“Yellow Mary.”

“But don’t worry, I’m not going to ask for anything besides honesty and just for the evening. I just want to get to know you better after all. Now would you like to eat me out? See if that satisfies your craving?”

“I can already tell that it won’t. Fuck fine I promise to be honest with you tonight.”

Mary shifted back into Mark and patted her head, “Good girl. Have your reward.” Mark gestured to his cock and Chloe began sucking on it again. “Now I’ve got an idea as for what to watch. Tell me, you get off on being humiliated don’t you? Being treated like crap?”

“Mmhmm” Chloe mumbled while sucking on his dick.

“I bet admitting that turned you on too didn’t it.”

Chloe pulled off his dick with a popping sound. “I fucking hate it, but yes.”

“I bet that hate is just making it better too. Anyway I’ve decided we are going to watch our alternate histories together while I impale you on my cock.”

Chloe caused Mark to cum in her mouth again. “That seems fine.”

“Glad you think so. Now be a good little fuck bunny and hop on my cock.” Chloe slid his cock inside her with her back against his chest. Mark grabbed one of her breasts to keep her from being able to get up. “Question for you. How would you feel kissing Sadie?”

“Aroused and disgusted.”

“You repeat yourself.”

“Fuck off.” Mark rammed his cock deep eliciting a cry of pain and pleasure from Chloe.

“I really am trying to. I asked because we are going to be watching a special edition of our alternate histories. Specifically all the ones where you, me, and Sadie end up as a throuple or more.”

“Red, Mark.” Mark stopped and moved to help Chloe off him. “No, leave your cock in. I need that. We are just not watching that. Absolutely not. In fact if we do end up watching our alternate histories together someday, I want those edited out. I’ve liked what we’ve done today, but don’t push me into thinking about being in a romantic relationship with Sadie. You want honesty from me. Well push that and I will push back hard and not in a fun way.” Chloe sighed in pleasure as she continued to ride Mark. “I have a question though, my comment about Allie. Are you genuinely upset with me?”

“Upset no. If in another context you had said that, then yes. I will say there was some genuine anger mixed in my response. But I realize you were just being a bitch on purpose because you wanted me to punish you.”

“Good because I didn’t really, OH FUCK that feels good. I didn’t really mean it.” Chloe grabbed the tablet and selected the option for a random action film. “I’m picking the movie. Also for the rest of the night could you be gentle?”

“Sure.” Mark slowly turned Chloe’s head and kissed her.

Chloe climaxed again and she broke the kiss. “You know, I thought it was just your dick that was supposed to be our ideal. Did the Adonis TF make you a better kisser too?”

“I don’t think so. A few of the others mentioned something similar last round.”

“So natural talent. How long do those potions last Mark? Because we aren’t stopping until those are out of our systems.”

“Three hours. I didn’t get the extra strength potions because I actually wanted to sleep tonight.”

“Perfect.” Chloe settled in and gently rode Mark as ‘Pacific Rim’ started to play. Chloe kept riding him or occasionally gave him another blowjob until the movie was over. She lost track of how many times either of them came. Shortly after the movie ended Mark carried her to the bed, and climbed on top of her.

Before Mark entered her again she placed a hand on his chest and the other on his cheek. “Mark, I appreciate you. I’m probably going to get jealous and lash out eventually. I’ll try my best though. Also I’m sated, at least for now. We can keep going of course, I just don’t feel like I need a cock inside me right now.”

“Whew. That makes me glad.” Mark rolled to one side. “I can feel the vigor potion is starting to wear off. I thought I had one more in me at most.”

Chloe rolled on to her side, and kissed Mark. “Thanks. Tonight was wonderful. You know I think I realized another part of why I lashed out at you.”

“Because you’re a brat?”

“Okay, yes, but I didn’t realize that. I was getting frustrated with myself as I was thinking poorly of you and made assumptions about what you would do to us. Assumptions that at least partially turned me on. Like you would have done what you did in the clothing store but without my tacit permission.”

“I wouldn’t call it tacit. You very clearly said whenever. I just took you up on the offer. I also made sure to remind you that you could end things in case it wasn’t what you had in mind and you were just shocked and forgot.”

Chloe blushed and pouted. “Okay fine with my, explicit, permission. I’m glad you wouldn’t do that, if I had used our safe word. I feel confident that is the case too, with how quickly things stopped in here. I’m also glad you can do those things, or at least pretend to.”

“We are a pretty good pair really. You like being roughed up, and debased, but want to know I actually respect you. I’m essentially the opposite. I want you to know I respect and care about you, but I want to be in control and use you however I want.”

“Good. Also I want you to know that whenever, it doesn't end tonight. I would ask not in front of the others… at least not yet.”

“If I ever cross a boundary tell me Chloe. I think I’ve shown I’ll do my best to respect them.”

“For the most part. Also good call on not taking the bunnies yourself.” Mark cocked an eyebrow. “I may have been resisting asking you to make it so I could get pregnant most of the night. It isn’t nearly as strong as the cock fixation but when you made the comment about making me a mom, it took a lot to resist asking you too. That’s part of the reason I was so mean about it.”

“Yeah I could only imagine how that would have gone then if I had taken one. Do you think you will be alright tomorrow?”

“Oh shit. Well expect to be woken up to a blowjob, at the least.”

“I look forward to it.” Mark smirked. Chloe playfully shoved him. Mark pulled her into a tight embrace, and kissed the top of her head. “Goodnight Chloe.”

Chloe nuzzled Mark’s chest. “Goodnight Mark.”

Laura was frustrated. Talia and her had split up in the library a while ago to try and find books. The only problem was she had yet to get a single relevant book. There I heard movement. Laura rushed after the sound and saw the book literally flying down a row, and just as she was about to reach it as it was turning the corner at the end of the row a hand reached out to grab it. Then Laura collided with Talia causing both to tumble to the ground. “OH COME ON!” Laura complained.

Talia said something but was muffled between Laura’s breasts. Laura got off Talia and helped her stand up. “Sorry Laura. But we agreed that the first one to get control of the books got them.”

“I know. Just, this is what? The fifth book that you snatched out from under me?”

“Seventh actually. Sorry but apparently the right place and time is an anime thing. If it makes you feel any better I’ve only actually found two on my own. I think Anime Physics is literally making me appear where I’m needed because at least right now it is funny that I utterly crush you in this competition. I don’t think I would be finding the books the same way if we weren’t betting. Honestly you might not be either, as it is possible that the TF is creating opportunities for me to snatch away.”

“Can we just call it? I give up.” Laura said. “I haven’t gotten one book and there is what another twenty minutes? You shut me out okay.”

“Sure, let's go up front and maybe call Sam to come and restrain some of these after checking them out.”

When they got to the front they placed the books on the table, all of them tied together so they couldn’t escape. They went through and wrote down the title of each book. From feistiest to tamest.

• Cassandra’s Secret Desire (It’s Phallic)
• Harem Hotel Host’s Rulebook 1,614th edition
• Harem Hotel: Missed Connections Resort Plans
• How to Break Freya’s Frosty Exterior.
• Talia Winchester’s Fantasies involving Laura Elliot
• Laura Elliot’s Sexual History
• Hilde’s Favorite Sweets
• List of Women Mark Garret Has Masturbated To
• Mark Garret’s Book of Puns (Warning May Cause Brain Damage)

Talia looked at Laura and said, “Well we have to get Sam up here that’s for sure. Looks like we can take four of these out of here.” Talia handed Laura the book of her sexual history. “Here no one else is entitled to this.”

“Nah, you can keep it. I’m an open book about that stuff. But you’re right. We need Sam to tie down the rule book and resort plans. I don't know about the other three though.”

“Oh we are most certainly keeping Cassandra’s book up here. End of discussion. Based upon how the books work it likely has something really useful. No way are we just letting it go. My book about you and Freya’s book, I agree we probably shouldn’t leave up here.” Laura moved to untie those two. “Stop! What are you doing just because we aren’t leaving them up here doesn’t mean we just let them go either. I am reading Freya’s book. It might be useful.”

“She won’t like that.”

“She will if it helps with helping Astrid which we don’t know if it could or not.”

“Fine, but keep it to yourself… Can I read your book about me?”

Talia thought about that for a moment. “Only if you promise not to judge me about it.”

“Deal. So tie down the three feisty books and either take or let go of the rest?”

“Yep.”

The two of them spent the rest of the afternoon reading the books they couldn’t leave with. Talia was done with Freya’s book fairly fast, and started on ‘Cassandra’s Secret Desire’. About a quarter of the way through the book she shut the book and bound it and thought about what she had read. She then started on the rulebook for the show. After checking the index she started with the section on eliminations and transformations. She then proceeded to go to the section on VP, and finally the section on adding new contestants to the harem, mid-season. She bound the book, again. Laura looked at Talia curiously, and said, “Hey sweetheart? What are you thinking about right now?”

“A bunch of things. I tend to have like five things on my mind at once.”

“Yeah and one of them is apparently how you want me to pin you to the floor and fuck you stupid.” Laura said holding up the book she was reading and was at the back of the book, with words slowly appearing on the page.

“Oh… yeah that’s true. Look I got horny reading the transformation section of the rulebook okay?”

“Oh I can tell, since there are like four different TF ideas that appeared in here right before the fantasy about me fucking you.”

“Now I get why you paused reading the rulebook, but why did you stop Cassandra’s book part way through?”

“I plan on reading it the rest of the way but I was checking to see if Cassandra was going to show up before I did. Since what’s in there is spicy. I guess the question is if Cassandra wants this to become public knowledge or not.” Talia grinned. “I really wonder what Mark would make of this book.”

~Pop~

“SERIOUSLY YOU HAVE A PHONE!”

Talia quietly reprimanded Cassandra. “Shhh! We are in a library. Don’t shout. Also we can’t call out of here.”

“Yes you can. You just can’t call the others. You can always call me. If you couldn’t call me that would be an actual issue.”

Talia waved away her statements. “Okay, well? Care to make a deal? We let this book go and we don’t tell the others about it in exchange for something?”

Cassandra looked at the book, “You know, actively blackmailing the host isn’t the wisest course of action. I control what comes up for your TFs.”

“Sure. But I think you will be happy to make this deal.”

Cassandra rolled her eyes, “Enlighten me.”

“First I want you to alter Laura’s goddess path like she wants. Make it, [Love Goddess], [Goddess of Love] or something similar.”

Cassandra raised an eyebrow intrigued, “What else?”

“I want to be able to upgrade one TF of my choice with the permission of the person.”

“That’s all?”

“I mean I would like a lot more but I’m trying to be reasonable here.”

“I can agree to that if you both agree to keep this secret and let the book go.”

Talia nodded. Laura thought about it and said, “I want two more things.” Cassandra narrowed her eyes. “Don’t worry, they should be small requests. I want to know what the current edition of the host’s rulebook is. Second, I want a promise from you Cassandra. What you asked of Mark, promise you aren’t planning on doing something to intentionally make him upset.”

“Agreed. I’m not intentionally trying to make Mark upset. Also the current edition is the 42,909th for the host’s copy of the rulebook.” Laura found herself undoing the bindings on the book and watched it zoom away.

Cassandra then leaned over, putting her face right up in Talia’s. “Don’t even think about pulling something like this again. If you had asked for something more you would not be walking out of this library happy. I have a feeling I know what you are going to use that upgrade for, and the rest is minor stuff, but don’t try this again.”

~Pop~

Laura said, “She got rather menacing there.”

“Not a surprise really.” Talia shrugged. “I was essentially blackmailing her.”

“That doesn’t bother you? Isn’t that a sin? Extortion?”

“I guess… but is it extortion really? Considering she’s our kidnapper. I think of it as negotiating for better living conditions.”

“I guess that’s fair. She is putting us under duress so a lot more is justifiable. So what are you going to use that upgrade for? Also thanks for thinking about my path.”

“No problem, and assuming he allows me, I’m going to upgrade one of Mark’s TFs. Now could you step out and call Sam here. I think we will have an eventful morning tomorrow.” Laura nodded. Talia either put away or let go all the books except the resort plans and the rulebook. While waiting for Sam she pursued the rule book while Laura looked over the resort plans.

Sam came in. “Hi, so Laura, you said you found relevant books? Hopefully books that are better than that one.” Sam glared at the book Allie and Isabella had found, and went and rebound that book so no one could read it.

“I hope so.” Laura said. “We found a host’s rulebook though it is an outdated edition. Also a plan of, what looks like, this resort.”

“That’s fantastic.” Sam tied each down tightly so it couldn’t fly away. “It’s late so I’ll let you tell the others tomorrow at breakfast. Care to walk back with me?” They both nodded. “So do either of you know where Ellen has been all day?”

“Probably deep throating a dildo.” Laura replied.

“What?”

“I have her on a training regimen so she can take a bigger dick down her throat.”

“I’ll say it again. What!?”

“Sam, I’m just being her dom. On her date night she gave Mark a blowjob. The thing is every time she got close to taking all of Mark’s dick in her mouth, it grew. She had been ordered to take it all in and deliberately wanted to fail so she would be punished.”

“Why?” Sam shuddered.

Laura looked at Sam with sympathy. “Sam… stop me if this gets too much. Ellen is a sub. She isn’t the most submissive partner I’ve ever had, but she is up there. She wants to be trained and to some degree wants to be treated like… well like a slave.”

Sam just shook. “I mean I get that to some degree. I know Allie and her were planning on doing stuff like that. It still just clashes with the image of her in my head.”

“That’s because you are still thinking of her public persona, which is mostly her but isn’t completely. She even said that she didn’t indulge in this for fear of scandal. Now though, why not?”

“Well… this is just making me realize how glad I am that Allie ended things with her. I need to tell her that too.” Sam said.

“I can let her know.” Laura offered.

“No.” Sam shook her head. “I should be the one to do it. I’m glad she found someone who can give her what she wants though. Speaking of finding someone… How are you two doing?”

Laura looked away from Sam. Talia was forthcoming though. “Good I think. After I cleared up Laura’s misconception regarding me and Aubrey. Also Sam I want to let you know Laura and I have a semi-open relationship. You are on the list of approved people for either or both of us to be with, if you are ever interested.” Laura looked at Talia and couldn’t believe she was being so open about that. “Laura I know I was a prude but I’m far more open about these things. Might as well let Sam know assuming she is allowed others by Allie.”

Sam glanced at Talia, “I am. I’m not sure I’m overly interested though. Things are complicated enough as is.”

“Reasonable. Well this is my stop.” Talia said as they reached the cottage, she gestured for Laura to lean over for a kiss goodnight. Then went into the cottage.

Sam and Laura kept walking to their rooms. Sam asked, “Mind if I stop by and talk to Ellen tonight?”

“Go ahead. She won’t be happy about it but I think she will understand.”

“So, you and Talia are really interested in me?”

“Why wouldn’t we be Sam? You are hot as hell, and great in bed.”

“It’s just weird to have so much female attention directed my way. How is your situation with Aubrey coming along? I was teaching her some stuff today, and it didn’t sound like you made further progress resolving that.”

“I don’t know. Talia telling me off made me reconsider things. I don’t like the implication of some of it though.”

“Like what?”

“Well that what Aubrey did to Talia and Chloe isn’t all that different from what Ellen and I did to Mark with the candies.”

“Bullshit. Alright let's head back to the cottage. I apparently need to screw Talia’s head on straight.”

“Wait. Explain to me first. She didn’t seem wrong to me.”

“Look, I can agree that there is some level of impaired consent in both cases. Even if Mark didn’t know exactly what that impairment was going to be he took it on knowing that you would be doing sexual stuff. What Aubrey did may or may not have been sexual, that's debatable, as a mother breastfeeding isn’t a sexual act. But Talia didn’t intentionally become dumb as bricks with the intention to allow something like that to happen. Now if you feel like you took advantage of Mark, maybe you did. But Aubrey definitely took advantage of Talia and Chloe. She isn’t on my shit list because I know both would have consented in their right minds, because she didn’t actually force them or trick them, and finally because the permanent effects are minor. I still disapprove of what she did though, as for what you did I would say I'm neutral about and it was your business.”

“You know that isn’t helping with resolving things with Aubrey right?”

“Sorry about that but neither is denying the truth. Now I would suggest just taking Aubrey to the sparring arena for a while and hit her until your frustration is gone. She’s been getting cocky that she can handle everyone in a fight. You could also suck on her tits but I don’t think that will work that well. It won’t help you get over your negative emotions towards her.”

“Well it can’t be tomorrow as that is her date day. I’ll figure it out after that.”

“Let me know if I can help. How do you feel about what Mark might be asking of you?”

“Less than thrilled, but that was likely going to be true of whatever he ended up asking of me. At least this way we have some guaranteed good come from it.”

“Yeah…” The two stopped outside of the Velvet Tower. “Guess I need to go break up with Ellen.” Sam said with a frown.

“Good luck. I’ll wait out here.” Sam nodded and went inside.
