This is the second part of the Lampmaker series. I wanted to address something. For those wanting a foil or a threat, yes, there is one, but it will show up later as the story develops. Again, if you want to post feedback or comments, please be polite and please be useful.
Chapter 2, Bridget
Rick quietly finished carving the last symbol on the brass lamp. He grinned at his work; it was indeed very pretty and well done. Quality work, if he did think so himself.
"This lamp is ready and we shall test the theory I have then on the next woman. I still find it odd that there are questions not even a Djnn or Genie can answer."
Ali shrugged as he stood by the wall of Rick's living room. "Master, such things were never considered important before. As I told you, only 5 humans had ever been turned into genies prior to your creation of Lacey. That genies would have "focus areas" as you put it is something no one ever considered."
"I think it is a correct idea Master. From what I remember of my transformation, a feeling of overpower lust and desire for pleasure and to please stand out clearly in my memory. The knowledge of all things sexual dealing with the human body that was shoved into my head but I have no knowledge of simple tasks such as cooking or cleaning." Lacey stated from her knelling position against the wall.
Rick shook his head in amusement. He had ordered Lacey to prepare him a breakfast and found she was unable to as she did not know how. Even using her magic was limited as Rick discovered that she apparently needed some basic familiarization of the task required prior to doing it. Lacey had never cooked for herself, or cleaned much (she had used a cleaning service and ate out mostly), so her knowledge was limited. But in terms of sex, she knew things that made Rick go weak in the knees just thinking about it. When he had dug into this oddity, her reply had been that serving him as a sextoy and harem slave was "what she had been made for" and therefore she had gained pretty much all the needed knowledge to be the best at it.
After some questions to Ali and Lacey, Rick had figured out that unlike the Djnn human genies were focused into specialty areas. Ali had talked about the other humans who had been transformed and Rick had found out that they had all been key servants for various wizards and sorcerers. Their knowledge had been extensive in terms of running a household, being a servant or advisor, and such things. Therefore they were genies who were kind of jacks of all trades.
Rick had created Lacey with the idea that she would be the perfect lover, mistress, and courtesan for her Master, and would also control the Harem and its slaves to ensure Rick was always cared for as befitted her Master and creator. But as her background was somewhat restricted in terms of education and experience, she lacked the ability to do many simple things as Rick hadn't put a single thought into her ability to be anything other than a sextoy.
She could learn certainly and he had taught her some basic things, but that took time and Rick didn't want to teach his new genie old tricks. Rick was already planning for the next step and next servant.
Building on his desire to have a "proper household" as Ali put it required a staff as well as a harem. Rick would create his harem to double task. They would each be responsible for a regular duty, and would also be responsible for ensuring his pleasure sexually.
Rick's next lamp was geared towards testing his theory. It would, if his theory was correct, create another genie that could please him sexually, while also keeping house. An organizer, someone who would ensure his place was in order and care for his collection (including his lamps). He would create others as he went but first he needed to test his idea.
Rick's careful research and questioning had also led him to understand that while he could make any woman into what he required it would work best if the woman had skill, training, or talent in that area already. Lacey had been the most incredible fuck Rick had EVER had, and he believed after questioning his slave more that a great deal of that came from her skills as a dancer, stripper, and gold digger. She had not fought the change but had embraced it. Lacey swore that she was glad Rick had enslaved her and turned her into a genie and enjoyed the power and the fact that she would be living her life as a sex slave to a wonderful Master.
Rick's focus on his collection and his concerns about keeping all his stuff safe had led to his first priority being the creation of a housekeeper and curator for his things. But the problem was who could he transform? Lacey knew dozens of beautiful women, both in her job and in college. But they were mostly party girls, strippers, or gold diggers like her and not brainy types that Rick wanted.
Rick was pondering this when his doorbell rang.
"Who could that be? Ali, Lacey, assume normal clothes. Lacey, you are my girlfriend, Ali; you are a friend from work if whoever is there asks. We were just about to leave to go eat if they ask." Rick asked as he set the lamp down on the table and walked towards the door. He heard two "poofs" and looked back to see his Djnn and Genie now dressed as normal humans although Lacey was wearing a tight white T shirt and shorts that were stretched to the limit.
Rick looked through his peephole and saw the top of a blonde head looking down at something. He opened his door and found himself looking at a drop dead gorgeous blonde in a business suit with her long hair done up in a bun.
"Oh, hello. I am looking for Rick Sanford? Are you him or do you know him?" the blonde said with a breathy voice.
"I'm him. You are?"
"Oh, sorry, I'm Bridget Newls. Uh, I mean Dr. Newls. Sorry, just got my doctorate last week so I'm still getting used to the title."
Rick smiled. "No problem Dr. Newls. What can I do for you?"
Bridget opened a beat-up leather briefcase and pulled out a picture. Rick looked at it and saw it was a printout of a picture of an old beat up tapestry. Rick looked closely and saw that in the center of it was a fairly accurate likeness of his Djnn Lamp.
"I'm sorry to bother you but I have been looking for you all week. Do you recognize the lamp in this picture? Please say you do!" Bridget said with an air of excitement.
"I do, I purchased something that looks a lot like it in SF last weekend. Why do you ask?"
Bridget was practically hopping up and down. "Oh My God! Oh My God! Can I see it? Please, please, please! I have to see if it's the one!"
