Nenim 1, 0512
|

|
|
||
|
It had been a strange night already, but I don't know what
|
||
|
possessed me then. I walked briskly out of the castle and took a
|
||
|
grav-slide down to the lagoon, I remember, and then summoned the
|
||
|
SDisk. When the symbols on the command panel resolved into the word
|
||
|
"destination" I ordered "Rick's Underground." The pad resolved into
|
||
|
the glimmering white pentacle that manifests in water environments,
|
||
|
and I stepped across the water onto the center. Since I was the only
|
||
|
passenger, I immediately said "go." But also, in the back of my
|
||
|
mind, there was the question, and as the teleporter activated, the
|
||
|
desperate question came through clearly:
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What am I doing...
|
||
|
|
||
|
...here?" The smell hit me first, but then it always hits
|
||
|
first. Strong, pungent masculine sweat of a dozen species and
|
||
|
leather combined with other, less definable (or more deniable)
|
||
|
smells. The heat hits second. Rick uses full radiation-divestiture
|
||
|
cooling units, and it doesn't help. The raw incandescent lightbulbs,
|
||
|
the bodies and motion of what was probably over a hundred males
|
||
|
moving in rhythm to music that was too damned loud, added to the heat
|
||
|
that soaked through me where my skin was exposed. My face was
|
||
|
flushed, and I knew it. What am I doing here?
|
||
|
|
||
|
I walked forward into the dark and shadows and approached the
|
||
|
bar. Horny, yes, but looking for something, too. But what? A
|
||
|
specific species? A certain size? A master for a night, the
|
||
|
weekend? What am I doing here?
|
||
|
|
||
|
There was a time when doing this-- engaging in random, violent,
|
||
|
wild sex with whatever mel struck my fancy-- was the high point of my
|
||
|
every day. But I eventually grew tired of it, because something was
|
||
|
missing, something I get out of my love for P'nyssa. And when the
|
||
|
need for the violence, for the intense sensory overload, for the
|
||
|
simple pleasure that cleansing pain can be, gets to be too much, I go
|
||
|
to people I know, people I trust to handle me right. Once again I
|
||
|
wondered, What am I doing here?
|
||
|
|
||
|
I walked up to the bar and ordered something mild and simple.
|
||
|
The bartender, a Felinzi, gave me this furrowed-brow look, his ears
|
||
|
pulling forward, but I ignored it. Whatever I was looking for, it
|
||
|
didn't take long for that something to find me. I stood with my back
|
||
|
to most of the bar when this enormous grey-furred paw clamped itself
|
||
|
over my eyes. I struggled for a second when this low, barely
|
||
|
controlled Uncia voice, full of menace, growled, "Don't fight, and
|
||
|
don't talk. I have orders not to hurt you too badly. I know who you
|
||
|
are, and I know you speak Uncia." I stopped. I don't fight with
|
||
|
two-and-a-half meters and two hundred kilos of anthropomorphic snow
|
||
|
leopard, not without powered armor I don't, but I wanted to. His
|
||
|
huge paw firmly over my eyes, the tips of his claws imbedded just to
|
||
|
the point of pain against my right temple,he turned me around and
|
||
|
directed me. The claws of his other paw were pressed through the
|
||
|
leather vest I wore, and he pushed me on. Not for the first time I
|
||
|
wondered, What am I doing here?
|
||
|
|
||
|
The music of The Underground faded into the background, and I
|
||
|
realized he was leading me back towards the private rooms. There was
|
||
|
the sound of a door opening, and he pushed me through it into a room
|
||
|
that felt small. Oh Gods, did he take me back to the dungeon? More
|
||
|
hands were suddenly on me, and three more mels, as far as I could
|
||
|
tell, began removing my pants, my boots, my shirt and vest. I
|
||
|
struggled again, and there was a sharp slap across my ass. I
|
||
|
groaned. There was more noise, the sound of chains, and leather
|
||
|
straps were wrapped around my wrists, my arms right above the elbow,
|
||
|
my ankles and above the knees, and around my throat. The claw at my
|
||
|
back moved to my shoulder, and began to force me down. I whimpered
|
||
|
as I was forced into a kneeling position. I was pushed down onto a
|
||
|
leather platform, and I heard chains rattle as I realized I was being
|
||
|
strapped into a suspended harness. I tried to get up, but hands
|
||
|
grabbed me and pushed me back down, securing my belted neck to a
|
||
|
variform headrest that provided for easy access to my mouth. My
|
||
|
wrists were crossed and secured behind my back.
|
||
|
|
||
|
More hands grabbed my legs and spread them wide. I heard more
|
||
|
chains as I was firmly secured to the floor by the ankles and knees.
|
||
|
The Uncia never took his paw from my eyes. A final leather belt was
|
||
|
laid across the small of my back and tightly secured to the harness.
|
||
|
The hands left me, and then the Uncia's paw left as well. The lights
|
||
|
were off! I still couldn't see a damn thing. I heard the shuffling
|
||
|
of feet as I heard my four assailants leave, and when they opened the
|
||
|
door the little light admitted let me see only a featureless grey
|
||
|
wall.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I don't know how long I sat there in the dark, waiting. I
|
||
|
strained, fighting against the leather, fighting with my fear. I
|
||
|
stopped occasionally, and tried to sort out the scent of my four
|
||
|
assailants, looking for anything familiar. Nothing. This room was
|
||
|
obviously well used, the harness infused with sweat. I waited,
|
||
|
struggling.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The door behind me opened. A bolt of fear shot through me. For
|
||
|
the first time I realized just how vulnerable I was, my ass spread
|
||
|
wide and exposed, my cock hanging free and accessible. There were
|
||
|
footsteps, and a low chuckling growl. I heard the door click shut.
|
||
|
The smell of my new master washed over me, leather and sweat, and I
|
||
|
knew what he was. Mephit. All the facts about Mephits ran through
|
||
|
my mind. Averaging 175 cm and a little lighter than humans. Black
|
||
|
fur, erectile tail-- anthropomorph skunk. And this one, I knew him,
|
||
|
but where? His scent was oh, so familiar! Dammit, I knew this
|
||
|
melMeph!
|
||
|
|
||
|
There was another chuckle, and I jumped as I felt sharp claws
|
||
|
lightly touch my buttocks. He laughed, a cruel laugh that told me
|
||
|
nothing. The claws tracked across my ass and up the small of my
|
||
|
back, one of the most ticklish parts of my body, sending shocks
|
||
|
through me that rattled the chains of my leather prison. And then
|
||
|
there was a voice, and he said, "Hello, Shardik."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I groaned. I knew him. Oh, yes, I did, and I was going to pay
|
||
|
dearly for that knowledge. "Hello..." I whispered, gulped, "Hello,
|
||
|
Aaden."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He walked around to stand in front of me, and then crouched down
|
||
|
so we were nearly face-to-face. "Remember the last time we met?" he
|
||
|
asked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
My tongue was thick, but I managed to say, "In the Hex."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Remember what happened that day?" He was grinning, evil.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I nodded, then found my balls to say, "You lost."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He reacted like I'd hit him, pulling his arm back to slap me,
|
||
|
but didn't. He grinned again, maliciously, and said, "You won. You
|
||
|
were the first person to beat me, to actually take me all the way to
|
||
|
the bell, you bastard. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT COST ME?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
I nodded, echoing his grin as I did so. Tied up as I was,
|
||
|
helpless as I was, I had him. I had beat him in the Hex, and his
|
||
|
first loss had unseated his legend. I'd fucked him there in the
|
||
|
center, in front of the roaring crowd, raping him as he'd have done
|
||
|
to me had he won. He could be beat, and I had proven it. He was
|
||
|
still one of the best, but he was beatable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well, guess what, Shardik... Tonight you get yours. Me and my
|
||
|
four friends are going teach you what it means to win. And you're
|
||
|
not going to see it." He reached back behind the chaps he wore, took
|
||
|
out a leather blindfold, and approached me. I whipped my head back
|
||
|
and forth to avoid his hands, but he snapped his fingers and the door
|
||
|
opened. "I'm not going to argue with you on this." The Uncia's huge
|
||
|
paws clamped down on my head and held me still. The blindfold went
|
||
|
on.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Dammit, Aaden, let me see!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, no, not on your life," he replied. I felt the Uncia let go
|
||
|
of me, and I was left to hang there, blind. There was silence again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
And then I heard the sound of clothing being removed, and of
|
||
|
heavy groans of male approval. The smell of sex was strong again,
|
||
|
and my cock responded, becoming erect even as it dangled freely.
|
||
|
There was a small laugh, then a paw touched my face, wrapping over it
|
||
|
and then under my chin. The fingers, Aaden's by the scent, pressed
|
||
|
into my jaw, and he said, "Open it." I resisted. He squeezed harder
|
||
|
until my jaw ached, and repeated, "Open it. Now."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I opened my mouth, waiting. I could feel him approaching, smell
|
||
|
his crotch, the familiar sweet smell, and I felt the head of his cock
|
||
|
play over my lips. I pursed my lips to kiss him, and he pulled away.
|
||
|
"See," he said. "You want it."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I did. I waited as he played with my blindness, slapping my
|
||
|
cheeks gently with his cock, teasing. He would pull away, then
|
||
|
slowly slide the head of his cock against my cheek or up my chin.
|
||
|
"Bastard," I gasped.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ahh, you're too anxious. You don't think I could give this to
|
||
|
you so easily, do you? You have to suffer."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He pressed the head against my lips, and I opened my mouth to
|
||
|
let him. He was huge, described at the Hex if I recall as "two soda
|
||
|
cans placed one atop the other." Maybe not, but it was close. The
|
||
|
head slid past my lips, and I couldn't help but scrape teeth along
|
||
|
it, he was so damn large. My tongue was pressed flat against the
|
||
|
floor of my mouth, but I did my best, drawing my lips around his
|
||
|
cock, feeling the velvet soft head and the slight ridge that ran the
|
||
|
underside. I concentrated on his cock, trying to please him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I felt his hand reach up under the hair on the back of my neck
|
||
|
and clamp down on a handful. I groaned, possessed. Dammit, who had
|
||
|
told him that? Grab my hair properly like that and I'll do anything.
|
||
|
He slowly began to rock back and forth, his enormous maleness fucking
|
||
|
my mouth. I heard some sounds, maybe talking, but it didn't concern
|
||
|
me. Until I felt the results.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He stroked slowly, always just barely striking the back of my
|
||
|
throat, and my reflex had tears streaming down my eyes. I wanted
|
||
|
him, wanted him to come, please.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I felt a slight caress against my ass and the pleasure drove me
|
||
|
berserk, straining against the bonds, the chains. Aaden's cock in my
|
||
|
mouth was going no faster, no more demanding. It was going to take
|
||
|
forever, and I wanted it now! The touch was a mitten, somewhere my
|
||
|
dim brain registered one of Aaden's four friends as a Tindal. One
|
||
|
spoke to another, and I understood the language, but I didn't try to
|
||
|
comprehend it. The cock, Aaden's cock, was all that concerned me.
|
||
|
That and the soft mitt at my backside.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The mitt went away, and it returned, sharply, slapping my ass.
|
||
|
The stinging pain made me try and cry out, but Aaden's cock muffled
|
||
|
my scream. Again, and again. "Don't bite," Aaden chided me. "I
|
||
|
might have to get rough."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Damn you, damn you, the words shot through my mind. Get rough,
|
||
|
then. Just don't tease me like this.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The slaps stopped, and they hadn't been hard enough to leave
|
||
|
much more than a mild sting. Tindals don't have much strength as it
|
||
|
is. I could feel sometimes a soft coolness under my chin when a tear
|
||
|
fell off of me, and sometimes one left a cool track down my throat.
|
||
|
There was a soft warm breath over my ass, and then somebody pressed
|
||
|
their lips to my buttocks. I groaned again. The lips kissed me
|
||
|
gently. Dammit, who was he? I held perfectly still, not wanting to
|
||
|
discourage those lips. I concentrated on Aaden's cock, but the lips
|
||
|
approached my anus, slowly, and then whoever it was pressed a single
|
||
|
kiss to my asshole. My mind reeled. Please, oh please.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It went away, and as it did I felt Aaden's cock pull away as
|
||
|
well. I cried out, incoherent with need.
|
||
|
There was a shuffling, and the slight draft told me Aaden had
|
||
|
left me, gone back to be with his buddies. There were more moans,
|
||
|
more malesex sounds, wet and teasing. My heart beat hard, and I
|
||
|
cursed quietly. I felt someone soft and furry crawl under me, and I
|
||
|
felt something... a pillow, be passed underneath me as well. A hand,
|
||
|
no, a mitten, passed over my cock, and I groaned, louder than ever.
|
||
|
Slowly, whoever it was breathed on my cock, and I jumped. Soft lips
|
||
|
encircled the head, and slowly the Tindal underneath me began to suck
|
||
|
me, as slowly as Aaden had forced me to suck him. He was good. So
|
||
|
good, and so slow. There was a hand on my back, moving up to my
|
||
|
head, and like Aaden's, this paw reached up under my hair and grabbed
|
||
|
me. I groaned. Too much, too much. I recognized the touch of my
|
||
|
Uncia kidnaper. He came around, and again in Uncia said, "You get
|
||
|
mine." I felt the head of his cock against my lips, and I grabbed it
|
||
|
with my mouth, wanting more. It was soft, but my greedy sucking
|
||
|
would quickly change that. The Uncia moaned appreciatively. I
|
||
|
worked on it with more care, trying to concentrate, trying to ignore
|
||
|
the torture of the mouth around my penis.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A hand again reached out to caress my ass, and I heard a thump
|
||
|
as someone dropped to his knees on the wooden floor. There was a
|
||
|
shuffling, and I felt the soft fur of Aaden's thighs against mine,
|
||
|
and his soft cock pressed gently down the crease of my ass, the head
|
||
|
dangling against my balls. The mouth around my cock never ceased.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aaden leaned back, and from what I could hear, someone back
|
||
|
there was stroking him to hardness. No, Aaden, I begged silently.
|
||
|
Someone else first, you're too big. Let someone else break me in
|
||
|
first, please. It's been too long!
|
||
|
|
||
|
But all I could do was moan around my Uncia lover's cock. It
|
||
|
was of average thickness, but it was long, and he used it to his best
|
||
|
advantage, shoving it past my throat, ravishing me, gagging me over
|
||
|
and over, eliciting more tears as he buried his cock into me, and I
|
||
|
felt the heavy fur and powerful muscles of his belly against my face
|
||
|
when he did. Then he pulled back to let me breathe before starting
|
||
|
again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aaden rose, and I felt two fingers spreading a lubricant around
|
||
|
my anus. It was hot; someone had cared enough to warm it before use.
|
||
|
The hand again vanished, and I felt Aaden rise. The Uncia stopped
|
||
|
for a moment, and said, "You're gonna get it now."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I heard Aaden reply, "Yes, he is." I felt the head of his cock
|
||
|
against my asshole, and behind it I could feel his whole body
|
||
|
pressing. He was as hard as steel and as demanding as fire. My anus
|
||
|
gave way a little, and the head pressed past the first ring of muscle
|
||
|
towards the second ring, the involuntary ring. My ass would give no
|
||
|
further, but Aaden just held there, waiting, and he said quietly,
|
||
|
"You're going to take me." He pressed again, and I gave way just a
|
||
|
little more. The mouth around my cock had stopped, I hadn't noticed
|
||
|
when. Slowly, there was a burning sensation around my asshole, a
|
||
|
stretching, tearing feeling that hurt so much and was so wonderfully
|
||
|
familiar again after all these years. Aaden pressed a little harder,
|
||
|
and suddenly I felt my asshole clamp down around him as the entire
|
||
|
head of his cock slid into me. I groaned in pain, and in pleasure.
|
||
|
Oh, yes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
His hands grabbed my hips and he pressed further, his cock
|
||
|
probing deeper into me, sliding into my rectum, and I felt the
|
||
|
ancient cramping sensation as he pressed up against my insides,
|
||
|
leading deeper into my guts. He had me, pinned like a butterfly,
|
||
|
violated. I strained against my bonds to meet him, and he responded,
|
||
|
pulling out until the head was left, and then sliding into me,
|
||
|
gently. He was slow and sure and he hurt and he felt so good. The
|
||
|
Uncia's paw tightened against my hair, and he began to fuck my mouth,
|
||
|
again, and I responded, hungry again. The Tindal sucked on me,
|
||
|
teasing me torturously, but Aaden set the pace of it all, as he
|
||
|
slowly fucked my yielded ass. The tenor of my begging changed, and I
|
||
|
honestly hoped one of them was a telepath. Rape me. Please, use me,
|
||
|
let me be your toy, your fuck toy, your favorite toy. Use me
|
||
|
forever.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aaden began to fuck me faster, and I could feel the ring of my
|
||
|
anus following his cock in and out, and his fucking became harder.
|
||
|
Then he stopped, and I felt a shuffling as he placed his knees up
|
||
|
closer to mine, and as he stroked into me his thighs struck mine, his
|
||
|
hips striking my buttocks, small ripples through our muscular bodies
|
||
|
as he slammed me, fucking me, his enormous hard cock taking me,
|
||
|
ravaging my ass. The Uncia was forced to accept the pace with every
|
||
|
hard shove, and he began to fuck me in earnest. I could feel his
|
||
|
orgasm approaching, and he forced it deeper into me. There was no
|
||
|
warning, though, when he came, shooting his thick cream down my
|
||
|
throat, but his roar filled my ears, my mind, for a moment blocking
|
||
|
out even Aaden's eternal cock filling my backside.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The mouth around my cock had eased, backing off, and I wanted to
|
||
|
come then, but finally it went away completely. Damn you, I thought
|
||
|
again. Please. Vile epithets filled my mind as Aaden filled my
|
||
|
asshole with his penis. Damn you.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aaden began slamming me so hard that the entire harness shifted,
|
||
|
and I heard his teeth grind and he said, "I'm gonna come," and with
|
||
|
three painfully hard jabs deep into my belly he screamed and came,
|
||
|
and I actually could feel his come filling me, heating and burning
|
||
|
and so wonderful. He collapsed, leaving me still on edge.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The other two men in the room hadn't said a word the entire
|
||
|
time, but I heard Aaden address them, saying, "Your turn." There was
|
||
|
a small laugh, and Aaden rose from his position behind me. He was
|
||
|
replaced by another pair of thighs, and another cock was slid into
|
||
|
me. The sudden change burned worse than ever, but I didn't care. A
|
||
|
cock was presented to my lips, and I sucked on it rapturously. These
|
||
|
two fucked me hard front and rear, and the one in front was very
|
||
|
definitely human, the one behind me I guessed to be another Mephit.
|
||
|
They used me as effectively as Aaden and the Uncia, and when they
|
||
|
came Aaden and the Uncia took their places, this time the Uncia
|
||
|
taking my ass and Aaden forcing my mouth against his anus to lick and
|
||
|
rim him before turning and filling my mouth with his creamy white
|
||
|
come. All the time the Tindal on the floor kept sucking me, taking
|
||
|
me to the edge and then backing off. Again the other two took me,
|
||
|
and the cock down my throat was definitely Mephit, and they ravished
|
||
|
me as surely as they could.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then they all backed off, and the mouth around my cock was
|
||
|
stronger and more insistent. I felt Aaden get behind, and he slowly
|
||
|
slid into me. He cock filled me again as it had before, like no
|
||
|
other cock had tonight, and he fucked me slowly and firmly, and I
|
||
|
cursed and blessed him as the Tindal underneath me sucked firmly, his
|
||
|
mitten coming up and slowly stroking my balls and sometimes past them
|
||
|
to touch my asshole as Aaden's cock sawed in and out of me. I was in
|
||
|
heaven, and I could feel the pain of denial fading, my orgasm coming,
|
||
|
coming. Aaden began to shove harder, and he was going to come one
|
||
|
last time, the third time, and suddenly it felt like my balls
|
||
|
squeezed down on their own, and everything stopped, and I came,
|
||
|
crashing down in an orgasm so long and so loud that they must have
|
||
|
heard me back in the main room, my every muscle straining. Aaden
|

|
screamed aloud too, and the throbbing of his cock back inside me was
|
||
|
a final baptism for me. I collapsed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When I came to, I was loose. They were gone. I rose, aching in
|
||
|
every muscle, from every demand. My anus hurt like it had never hurt
|
||
|
before, my jaw tired, my cock sore from what must have been two hours
|
||
|
of erection. When I finally did try and stand, my mind reeled. I
|
||
|
braced myself against the wall. The room was actually smaller than I
|
||
|
had thought at first. I noted a few things, like the small package
|
||
|
of wipes on the floor, mostly used. Thank you, Aaden, for being at
|
||
|
least that concerned about my health that you would clean yourselves
|
||
|
before taking my mouth again. The other thing was the little yellow
|
||
|
sheet on the door. "We're in the Arc dining room. Come find us if
|
||
|
you awake before 1800 hrs."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I dressed, noting the five claw holes in the vest. They weren't
|
||
|
bad. I was going to keep them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I left to find my abusers. It was well before 1800. I imagine
|
||
|
I wobbled a little as I walked. The thought made me smile. But I
|
||
|
hurt.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It was a good hurt.
|

EPILOGUE:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Walking through the bar had been difficult, trying to face all
|
||
|
those horny males, but I reached the SDisk and ordered it to take me
|
||
|
to my own room. I showered, dressed and took a public disk to the
|
||
|
Arc dining room.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When I got there, the sun was shining through the enourmous
|
||
|
skylight, and the plants that lined the metalwork ceiling were green
|
||
|
and lush. I scanned the white-washed room for Aaden, and I found
|
||
|
him, complete with his four compatriots, and got the shock of my
|
||
|
life.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There was a general loud greeting, a lot of "Hey, how ya
|
||
|
feelin's," and there, sitting between Aaden and the Uncia, sat
|
||
|
P'nyssa. I sat down at the table uncomfortably, shifting, and said,
|
||
|
rather shyly, "Hi. Guess I'll be doing that for a couple of days."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aaden raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess you will. Well?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well what?" I asked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Did you like it?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
I stopped, gaped, and said, "Of course I liked it. But...
|
||
|
How..."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"P'nyssa?" Aaden asked, both to finish my question and to prompt
|
||
|
P'nyssa to answer it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She said, "We had this planned months ago. We were just waiting
|
||
|
for you to show up."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You what?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Well, you told me a while ago that that was a fantasy of yours,
|
||
|
to be willfully raped by several men."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"So you... and he..." I was stunned. "But I must have told you
|
||
|
that years ago!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
She nodded. "So?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
I sighed. "Thank you, P'nyssa." I rose, walked over to her and
|
||
|
hugged her over the chair. "I love you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I love you too," she said.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"How did you know to get Aaden?" I asked, still stunned.
|
||
|
She smiled that coy smile that always drives me crazy. "That
|
||
|
was the hard part. But I did some research." She reached under the
|
||
|
table and pulled out a memory chip, plugged it into a small HoloMan
|
||
|
she carried, and Kathy Hawkwind's picture illustrated fine, and began
|
||
|
to relate the story I'd told her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Sonuvabitch," was all I said.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aaden introduced me to the other three, the Human being a huge
|
||
|
blond man named Derek, the Uncia was named Tarritt and the other
|
||
|
Mephit, named Erith. I hugged every one of them, but when I stopped
|
||
|
at Erith I said, "Young melMeph, have you got something against me?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
He looked flustered, and said, "No... why?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Because you fucked me hard, real hard. Harder than Aaden,
|
||
|
even."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No, I don't think I do. I thought you liked that sort of
|
||
|
thing."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I smiled, and laid an arm across my stomach, wincing at the
|
||
|
slight cramp still there, and said, "I do. Wow. One other thing,
|
||
|
Aaden, how did you mask P'nyssa's scent?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
P'nyssa answered. "A little perfume, a little misdirection, a
|
||
|
little hardware. It wasn't hard."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh." They weren't going to tell me. That's okay; it worked.
|
||
|
"How did you get P'nyssa past Rick? As far as I know, she's the
|
||
|
first female to ever get into The Underground."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Ken," Aaden answered. The fact that he called me by my first
|
||
|
name surprised me. "Nobody is ever going to argue with an Uncia and
|
||
|
Shardik's roommate. Not even an AI."
|
||
|
|
||
|
I smiled. It's nice to have friends like that.
