Chapter 52: ...Said The Succubus To The Futa
"Last time you were here, you rushed out before I properly thanked you, Mrs. Jefferson." Chastity moved so fluidly it didn't appear real, a graceful and sensual motion, hard to...
"Stop it," Diane growled, her brow twisted with eyes piercing into the other succubus.
Something happened, like a bubble popping.
Blinking, Honoka shook herself while Miaka reached behind her shoulder and gripped the shotgun. Chastity was still a ten under any metric. However, without hazy glamor mucking the works, clouds lifted in the wives' minds to think clearly again. Now that she knew it was there, Honoka recognized arousal manipulation coming from a succubus. Only this time it was the touch of a master's hand instead of an up and down sensation the horny futa was familiar with. It slid inside so smoothly she hadn't noticed the puppet strings before they tightened into a noose. Gritting her teeth, Honoka wasn't the weak wallflower she used to be, a boiling rage building inside her chest.
"Forgive me, force of habit." Chastity put on a winning smile that hid her teeth, casually seating naked cheeks on the glass desk and splaying her legs out, only the thinnest fabric between her damp snatch and the intimate air. "As I was saying, I never thanked you. Or should I thank Mrs. Ibori for pulling the trigger? What do you think she'd like?"
"A new graphics card or a basketball signed by Magic Johnson," Honoka replied flatly, wanting this all to end and warring with a traitorously inconvenient
rising problem
within her
hakama.
"Is that all?"
Peering more critically at the three defensive women in front of her, Chastity deflated. Becoming more irritated than sexy in her posture, the madame crossed her legs and leaning over to depress a button on her keyboard. "Fine. I can get what I want with business as easily as through pleasure."
The two secretaries entered the room in unison, setting up three chairs and a small end table like they were performing
Noh
theater. They silently placing four bottles of expensive spring water filled with electrolytes and other essential minerals on the the table and graciously moved to leave without saying anything. They also placed Honoka's sword and the repaired armor on the desk beside Chastity, both of which Honoka thought lost for good.
Though - and Honoka was eaten with guilt over this - she didn't notice the sword and armor until they both left. Honoka's eyes had been glued to the naked, plump, succulent booty of the kitsune the entire time. It was
hard
for Honoka to think farther than a throbbing eighteen inches (46 cm) until the door closed behind them.
Is it hot in here?
Honoka thought, clamping down any wayward thoughts while discretely grabbing one of the waters and gulping cool refreshment.
"You like?" Chastity purred, moving around to sit behind her desk while Diane and Honoka sat in their chairs. "I'm sure Devera would jump at the chance to join your little harem. Don't have a kitsune, yet, right?"
Fortunately for Honoka, Diane wasn't playing games. "Sorry, we already have a pair of Ds in the family," Diane said, the pregnant woman throwing enough shade to block out the sun. "Got any Zeldas? Stop the Chastity Show and get on with it."
"Patience is something you never learned, Di. I'm trying to make a sale here, and successful sales require good presentation." The madame pulled out a checkbook and wrote with a looping, flowing script. "I'm about to make two offers to your family and I think you'll take both of them. Not just because I think the offers are win-wins, but because I have access to excellent sources of information and I know more than you know. So I'm going to hand you this check and then I'm going to tell you a story. I'm pretty sure you're going to say yes."
Tearing off the check, Chastity passed it to Diane. Wary, Diane took the paper and critically studied the offer. Her eyes widened and breath caught in her throat before handing it to Honoka.
When Honoka saw the amount, she almost dropped it in surprise and had to use both hands to hold onto the precious money.
There were
a lot
of zeroes.
"That isn't a bribe, that is a payment for services rendered and your first shipment." Chastity was very pleased with herself, sharp teeth poking through her smile. "I went over Solomon's books and part of that covers all the potions the House had on hand and never paid you for. The rest is an advance on your first shipment of potions; I'll email you an itemized list of what I need. I'm tired of dealing with Marco, he's too expensive and one in a hundred of his vials don't work. My girls are sick and pregnant, and that's bad for business."
"I..." Diane tried to say, but Chastity cut her off.
"Let me finish: you might be surprised with my second offer, Di." Chastity paused, peering down at her templed fingers. "How's the dating app working for you, Mrs. Jefferson?"
Confused by the question, Honoka hesitated before answering truthfully. "Not good at all. I'm finding dating harder than romcoms make it out to be."
This was a bit of an understatement: in five days, Honoka had been on nine dates. While none reached quite the same levels of disaster as the first one with Julieta, each was bad enough to end with a variation of
don't call me, I'll call you.
One of them, ironically enough, was with Mary Sue from Babcock Architectural, the place Honoka used to work at.
That
fiasco ended with Honoka and the green tentacled lady thrown out of the bowling rink covered in nacho sauce. Mary had been friendly enough, but no one likes getting covered in hot cheese. Honoka wasn't expecting any second dates anytime soon.
"I have a sister that might be interested," Chastity said slowly, still not looking up. "She's a foster sister. Both of us were in a home together while in the program. We grew close and have stayed close over the years. I moved to Chicago before the Change forced me to...well, it's how I entangled myself with Solomon. Fred travels a lot for her job, but she owns an apartment downtown. She's a Legendary, which makes it difficult for her to get close to anyone. Fred's reaching the end of her rope. I think you can help her, at least enough so she doesn't cut herself off from everyone entirely."
Honoka wasn't sure how to respond to that. The room became quiet as everyone digested the confession. It wasn't so much what Chastity said, it was the way she said it. It had a vulnerability that no one expected from the powerful and controlling woman. Glancing to Diane, Honoka silently let the succubus know this was her call.
"I..." Diane paused, trying to make the right decision instead of an emotional one. "We will talk this over with the family. Depending on what is decided, you'll get your potions or a refund next week. I hate you personally and professionally and would rather watch this place burn to the ground than give you a single vial. Maybe you were under a Contract, maybe you were just cruel: I don't care. You know more about us and our finances than I'm comfortable with and that check smells an awful lot like blood.
"As for the other thing, talk to Honoka while I use your fancy toilet." Diane got up with a grunt and a wobble, waddling over, slamming the door and turning on the loud fan.
"I'm open to a date, but I don't want you involved past that," Honoka replied after a minute of thought. "If I do anything with your sister, it will between me and her, nobody else."
"I can agree to that, though let me foot the bill for the date at least. For Fred." Chastity then leaned back and turned her smile towards sinister levels. "Do you realize where my new toilet is located? On the exact spot I found Solomon's corpse when I woke up. Never thought I'd enjoy taking a crap each day as much as I do now."
Honoka looked at the door to the bathroom in a new light, wondering if there was time for her to try out the morbid porcelain. Subject matter aside, she joined Chastity in a small grin. The two woman might be of completely different opinions on many things, but at least they could agree on this.
