Author's Note
Risk Versus Reward is a prequel to Girl Friday and focuses on the story of Karin, the 'H.R. Lady' who provided Charlotte's rather unique interview experience when she was hired. You do not need to read Girl Friday to understand what's going on in Risk Versus Reward. But if you enjoy this story, Girl Friday should most definitely be on your reading list.
The last chapter of Karin's story took a dark turn. Several people have commented that the relationship between Moreau and Karin was not sexy at all, but rather an example of what not to do. I was actually very pleased to see those comments, because Doctor Moreau is definitely not the angel Karin saw her as in the beginning. But will Karin realize it as well or will she remain trapped? You'll have to keep reading to find out.
I hope you enjoy Karin's continuing story.

Chapter 13: Desi's Girl
I woke up completely disoriented. I was in a bed that wasn't mine, and my head -- my head was pounding in a way that suggested that it was quite possible someone had run it over with a steam roller recently.
This has to be a dream,
I thought,
one of those crazy stress dreams that people get about school when they think they've missed an important exam and they're doomed to fail the one class they need to graduate.
Except I didn't go to college, I skipped the scholarship offer and enrolled in Lesbian Hogwarts instead. So I had my stress dream Academy style, and let me tell you that was far worse. I was tucked up all cozy and warm in that big harem bed with the midday sun streaming through the big picture window, and rather than sleeping through some paltry little final exam, I had slept right through calisthenics. I was toast. I knew this because even after blinking three or four times, Mistress Nguyen was still there sitting on the end of the bed staring at me. But dream P.E. teacher from hell was far more mellow than actual P.E. teacher from hell, because instead of pulling her crop out and slapping the hell out of me until I roused myself enough to start in on some burpees, she just sat there grinning.
Oh, that's probably because Desi is sucking on her tits ... wait, what?
I blinked again, and yes indeed Mistress Nguyen was perched on the edge of the bed wearing only her skimpy black athletic shorts -- the ones that looked like they were just a small step up from underwear -- and nothing else. Not only was I treated to the sight of a very lean hard chest with minimal tan lines, it was at that moment that I also discovered the true nature of Mistress Nguyen's nipple jewelry. Well on one side anyway -- on the other side I currently had nothing more than a great view of the back of Desi's head.
The piercing on the side that I could see was a simple silver barbell with a ball on each end, but clutching one of those balls in its three-toed foot was a silver dragon that lay coiled around the mistress's nipple as if protecting it from evil spirits or something. I wondered briefly if the dragon was employed to guard against horny girlfriends with an unhealthy P.E. teacher fetish. If so, it should have been fired, because Desi was really going to town and the two of them were moaning in a way that let me know the enjoyment was mutual.
I cleared my throat.
"You were asleep. I got bored," Desi said as she tore herself away just long enough to turn and smile at me. As if a little boredom and her cheese-eating grin explained everything that was going on here.
"How are you feeling, honey?" Mistress Nguyen asked in a surprisingly pleasant tone.
"Um -- I missed calisthenics."
Desi and the mistress looked at each other for a split second before Desi laughed hard enough to snort and Mistress Nguyen actually cracked a slight smile.
"Oh Karin, I think maybe you're entitled this one time," Mistress Nguyen said, stroking the nape of Desi's neck, encouraging her as she resumed her suckling. "I believe Miss Hendrick's policy is calisthenics unless you are on death's door. And last night Honey, you certainly looked like you were standing at the threshold."
My mind returned to the events of last night. The parts of it that I could remember anyway. The experiments, the endless torment, my pleading, her insistence, all culminating in an orgasm that I didn't want, but despite my noblest intentions came upon me like thunder nonetheless.
"What happened? How'd I get here?"
"She dumped you here last night, Honey. I was here to collect your girlfriend for a proper fucking when she tossed you in." Mistress Nguyen still felt the need to rub it in my face that she was screwing Desi whenever she felt like it, and in her opinion probably doing a much better job of it. Sadly, I had to admit she was probably right.
"Why?" I asked.
"Why did she toss you in here?" Mistress Nguyen peered over at me and winked. "Or why was I fucking your girlfriend again?"
I ignored her baiting me and just glared back. Pretty bold of me considering how intimidated she still made me. But she was mostly naked and currently having her nipples spit-polished by my girlfriend Desi, and in my mind that made her a little easier to take.
"She was done with you, honey. You obviously passed, otherwise you'd still be in her laboratory." She said laboratory with a great deal of emphasis on the second syllable as if she were quoting some old horror movie or had suddenly turned eighteenth-century British.
Lah-BORE-ih-tory.
"You transcended, Honey. You are now the perfect submissive in her book. The ideal human plaything. Congratulations."
I'm not sure I was entirely comfortable with the way she referred to me as a plaything, or that I sought her congratulations, but I let it slide for the moment in the desire to glean more information. "So what am I doing here?"
"Waiting, Honey. She's got plans for you, big plans."
