A shared problem

”W-What?” Maddy asked.

I was still holding her next to me. God she smelled so sweet. And her body felt so warm in the cool night.

”You see... Hayley here...” I pointed at the poor woman, who was feverishly trying to think how to get out of this situation. ”...works for me now.”

”....Excuse me?” came the late reply from Hayley.

”You see we both have a shared problem now. And her name is Maria Diamanti. But I have great news for Hayley. I already have a plan to take the bitch down. All I need for Hayley to do... is not to interfere with it.”

Hayley began nervously scratching her arm. Seemed like an involuntary tic.

Maddy tried her best to push my arm away, but I held on tight. ”Jack, I really... Is the prank still going on? Am I supposed to understand what you guys are talking about?”

”No, not really. But Hayley here does. She needs to understand that I’m the one calling the shots from this point on. Isn’t that right?”

The scratching just intensified. But her helpless panic was slowly morphing into fury against me. She was focusing again.

”You publish that and you’re dead as well,” she spoke in a low, serious tone.

It was true. This **** only made things even between us. She knew stuff that could end me, I knew stuff that could end her. It was mutually assured destruction. In layman’s terms: If she didn’t prevent my destruction, I would have nothing to lose by destroying her as well. But... I couldn’t **** her to do stuff beyond that. She would instantly call my bluff.

”Let’s hope I don’t have to do it then, right?” I grinned. ”You just tell Maria that this person here...” I gripped Maddy a little tighter again. ”Was an actual agent.”

”Jack, I don’t know how I feel-” Maddy interrupted.

”Shush now.”

She pouted again. Always cute.

”This is so- I can’t lie to Maria! Are you kidding me? This clown show you are running is bound to end horribly! And then I’ll get caught in the mess! You are forcing me to choose between certain doom and certain doom!”

”No I’m not. I’ll win.”

Hayley sighed, slumping against her car.

She realized it too. If she had to choose a side...

Might as well go all in.

”What’s your plan then? Give me every detail. We need to make this shit actually work.” (HAYLEY: +3SP) (-46SP)

Well, based on those points she seemed to be giving in. Although...

It was only three points? For apparently betraying Maria?

Maybe it was because it wasn’t a full surrender? I mean she was trying to take control of the operation now?

Not to say she wouldn’t be really useful in taking Maria down, but I was more of a lone wolf. And I enjoyed that.

She was the sort of person who had to do things her way, and her way only. Other people just messed up her style.

Simply put, teamwork between us probably wouldn’t work here. And I had no idea how much I could actually trust her.

But. I could use her ”type A”-personality against her.

”No. You’ll just do as I say. You don’t need to know more.”

”Yes I do! You’re fucking stupid if you won’t utilize me. I know where all the bodies are hidden!”

”Wait, you do?”

”No, not literally! That’s just an expression! But I know stuff!”

...Tempting...

But then again, her submission was well into the negatives. And considering her personality and the fact that she had a real good reason to hate me now... I probably shouldn’t trust her. Not for a long while. She might try to trick me.

Although, I couldn’t deny the fact that we were still in the same boat. She might legitimately just want to help me take Maria down.

Well then. No matter which one it is...

There was a fun way to test it.

”So. You really wanna join me then, huh?”

”No of course I fucking don’t. You’re just leaving me no options.”

”Well here’s the thing. Joining me requires you to take an oath of loyalty.”

”What?”

”Kneel.”

Her eyes widened at the ridiculousness of my request.

”I probably didn’t hear that right.”

”Yes you did. Kneel.”

She had to cough and shake her head in disbelief.

”Um... Kneel? As in ground? As in my shins on the ground?”

”Correct.”

”Jack can I leav-” Maddy interjected.

”Shush.” This time I sealed Maddy’s lips by pursing them together with my fingers.

I thought it was playful. But her expression told me she didn’t see it the same way.

Hayley mulled over my order, while Maddy managed to pull her head free from my lip-squeeze.

”Let me get this straight,” Hayley started. ”I’m offering assistance in your joke of a scheme, and you want me to kneel for the privilege?”

”I can’t trust you until you do.”

”Fucking.... Fine then, asshole.” (HAYLEY: +7SP) (-39SP)

She slowly lowered herself on the prickly and sandy parking lot cement, trying to find the best spot so her expensive-looking trousers wouldn’t get too dirty.

Then she looked up at us.

”May I join your cause now? Please?” she whined sarcastically.

”No. Next is the oath.”

”For fuck’s... Let’s get on with it.”

I placed my hand on my heart. ”Follow along. I hereby pledge...”

She sighed, and also placed her hand over her heart. ”I hereby pledge...” (HAYLEY: +3SP) (-36SP)

”To follow Jack wherever he might lead me. His word is law.”

”To follow Jack... wherever he might lead me. His word is...” there was clear disgust on her face. ”Law.” (HAYLEY: +4SP) (-32SP)

”Jack is my master. I seek to please him. Whatever he wants... He gets.”

”Yeah. I’m not saying that shit.”

”Well then. I can’t let you in. I’ll deal with Maria by myself.”

”You can’t. You need me.”

”No I don’t. Let’s go Maddy.”

I turned around with Maddy on my arm, and got moving.

Leaving her there, kneeling on the cold cement ground.

This is the point where she’s going to call me back and...

...

Nothing.

No word from Hayley.

And we were pretty far away from her now.

...Shit.

...Fuck. Was my planned fun for the night actually stopping here? I mean... The most important job got accomplished, Hayley was going to lie for my benefit... And I even got a few points from her...

But I guess I hoped that things would go even further than that.

”So... are you gonna tell me what the fuck was all that?” Maddy finally asked. Hayley was far in the distance now.

”Just... office politics.”

”Was... any of this actually a prank? At any point?”

I stopped Maddy before she could take another step.

There was a shadowy figure hovering around my car.

It was... Hayley.

She must’ve ran past us through some other route, and was ready to continue our negotiations.

She hadn’t noticed us yet.

Haha. My guts were right. She couldn’t handle the thought of me taking on Maria by myself. She probably couldn’t trust me even to use my brains by myself.

Perhaps she was ready to kneel and utter those words now?

Nah. It needed to be something bigger than that.

Well. Me and Maddy were fairly well covered by the shadows. I had time to think. Perhaps there was a better strategy?

...

Oh yeah! ACTA! I’d be amazed if Hayley...

Yup. There it was. Hayley’s first trait.

-TYPE A PERSONALITY-

ROUTE A –NYMPHOMANIAC

-TYPE D-

The subject will find relaxation from stress and overwork only when they are pleasing the user’s genitals. All other work will start to feel more negative and pointless.

ROUTE B -****

-POWERLESS-

The more the user takes control over the subject’s life, the more it grows sexual desire and lust in the subject.

Yes. Good. Now to-

”Jack! Please! I can’t take it! Please tell me what’s going on here? What are we waiting for?” Maddy nearly shouted.

Thankfully it wasn’t loud enough for Hayley to hear.

Yeah. What I was going to do with Maddy? I mean I had my plans with her, I didn’t just bring her here for a fake prank.

I turned to her. ”Listen. Did you like playing that agent? Be honest.”

”...I don’t know... I guess it was exciting in some way...”

”Good. Do you know why? Lori Rodriguez was so different from yourself. She was a bit dominant, wasn’t she? You got to feel what it’s like not to be so timid all the time, right?”

”Hey, I’m not... timid...”

”Yeah, whatever. I bet Lori makes women eat her out all the time, right? All she has to do is wave badge around and all pussies are wet.”

”Wait, what...”

I grabbed Maddy by the pussy.

She gasped.

I could feel it through her pants.

It was warm. And I felt some small moisture.

Clean. Shaven. Untouched by man.

Just like I always dreamed.

Maddy was speechless. Despite her already sucking me off and eating my cum several times now... A new line had just been crossed.

”Come on Maddy. I know there’s been plenty of tongues down there. Dykes, lesbos, bisexuals... I know your history.” I moved my hand slowly up and down, petting her sex.

She wasn’t saying anything. Just staring at me, breathing a bit harder.

”Have you ever wondered... What it would feel like... To have a straight girl’s tongue there as well?”

Maddy swallowed hard. I could feel her pussy heating up even more.

”Consider... this lawyer bitch... a gift. From me...” I squeezed her cunt with my whole hand. ”To Lori.”
