Emma led Sue into the room by the hand, like she was a small child. It was a puzzle box, like all the Club's rooms. Though furnished to Emma's pearlescent tastes, the shades of white were broken up enough to keep from being oppressive. It wasn't a Kubrick film. Chiefly, the polar whiteness was defused by a large black mirror at the far side of the room—one-way glass.
"Time to put on a show, Susan." Emma pulled Sue's hand up and gave it a kiss. "Membership hath its price. And someone wants to see the Invisible Woman... not so invisible. Well, at least some
one
."
Kitty Pryde sat on the bed, her blue jeans and orange blouse also at odds with Emma's color scheme. "Do you have to make it sound like we're sacrificing her to Cthulu? Sue, it's not like the President's back there or anything—"
"How would you know?" Emma asked snidely, gripping Sue's hand hard enough to hurt. "Sue, Katherine will be my Black Queen for the evening. It would've been Storm, but she thought it was racist.
Some people
..."
"She's not wearing black," Sue said, as if pointing out an inconsistency could somehow wake her from this dream, make her normal again. Just a woman whose mind had wandered, not someone who enjoyed being degraded. Who even now was sweating over what was behind the glass.
Emma huffed a laugh and groped between Kitty's legs, like she was fondling a man. With a little diamond-strength, the crotch of her jeans was ripped away, letting out a slender black strap-on. "And here I thought you were happy to see me, Katherine."
Kitty put her hands on her hips, hating the way the strap-on bounced with the gesture. "We all know this is just a build-up to your wardrobe malfunction, so c'mon. Show us what five million dollars and six months in Florida can do."
Emma reached for the clasp of her cloak. "It was three million dollars. I'm nothing if not thrifty."
She undressed in one sweeping motion.
From her piercing eyes, to the grateful curve of her neck, to the alluring sweep of her breasts, down the taut skin of her abdomen that struck the perfect balance between muscular hardness and soft femininity, and even across the white leather that was molded to her legs like a second skin. Nothing about her struck a single imperfect note. She was sex personified. Not beauty, not grace, not even femininity. Those were baubles she wore, hiding and enhancing the single drive of her considerable personality, a mockingly open guise that held back the sheer desire to
fuck
that sat at her very core. If it was a put-on, it was a damn good one.
A long time ago, Reed had molded Sue and her friends into superhero celebrities, as if overwriting the freaks of nature a literal world would see them as. Emma had done the same. She was an acolyte of sex, a devotee of it, and like the avatars of Hindu mythology, all the desire, all the kinkiness, all the pleasure and pain and lust and need and want and
having
seemed to be taken on by her.
"I want your cock in her cunt, Katherine," she said.
Kitty obediently moved to Sue's front, but Emma intercepted her, grabbing her by her left shoulder and pushing her down to her knees. Keeping her from blocking Sue's view of the mirror.
She faced it head-on.
"Who could it be?" Emma twined around Sue from behind, playfully hiding her nudity with Sue's body. In the mirror, Sue watched Emma play with her hair. She felt invisible—like there really was another Sue there in the mirror, and it was
her
that was Emma's toy. It was only the darting feel of Emma's strap-on brushing against her ass that kept her anchored.
The dildo was white, and larger than Kitty's petite five-inch piece. Emma never shied away from clichés when they appealed to her.
Emma kissed the back of Sue's neck, but it seemed like it was only to find the zipper on her jumpsuit. Her sly fingers pulled it down. She still wore gloves. High heels, too. "Who could be watching you, Susan? Perhaps it's baby brother Johnny. He looks up to you so much. You practically raised him. He would never think of you as the slut that you are."
Emma tugged at the opened back of Sue's costume. It came off her shoulder, down her right arm, the action precisely duplicated in the mirror and in the eyes of whoever the audience was. "Maybe Ben Grimm. He does seem like the voyeuristic type, doesn't he? It's not like he can take a groupie home without shattering her pelvis. He's always wanted you for himself, hasn't he? Oh, he says he's moved on, but men never really
do
. Wouldn't it just break his heart if he found out you were cheating on Reed and he wasn't invited? At least he'll be able to jerk off to it."
The blue costume, freed, ran down Sue's body like a snakeskin. Her nakedness appeared in the black mirror—a photo negative of herself. Emma caressed it... their skin was so much alike in the reflection... Sue could barely feel her touch.
"Speaking of Reed, you think that's who it is? The darling husband, who you love ever so much? He's so smart, your hubby. Perhaps he knows you've been unfaithful. Perhaps he knows
you need this.
Maybe he even gets off on it. Does that sound like your husband? Hiding away in his lab, leaving your needs tended to by some depraved sluts? He'd want to watch, wouldn't he? At least once." Emma went to whisper in Sue's ear; Sue saw her mouth approaching in the mirror. She braced herself like she was about to be shot. "Did he know you would enjoy it so much? More than you ever did with
him
, making those darling children of yours?"
Kitty was kneeling between Sue's legs, lubing up her strap-on. When Sue's crotch was bare, Kitty lubricated that too. She massaged the warm gel into Sue's pussy, and for the first time the blonde started to moan.
"She's so wet," Kitty breathed, surprise so evident on her young face.
"Of course. Why else would she come here?"
Kitty looked up Sue's body with schoolgirl admiration. Childishly, she was a bit embarrassed by the explicitness of Sue's nudity, the forthrightness with which Emma touched her. She could only imagine how Sue felt.
