The sun always shone outside the palace. Or that's what Alanna thought. And it was a beautiful day today, complete with clear, azure skies, and the hustle of upper class living. Carriages of all kinds went down the street with various symbols in the windows. Being a courtesan, she could use any of these for free. Well, almost free. With a wave of her hand, a carriage with three stars painted along the side pulled to a stop. A man, about thirty and dressed in silks, opened the door. Across him was another man of similar or slightly lower standing, with similar or slightly cheaper clothes. Perfect. Alanna stepped inside and sat right on the lap of the man with more money. He slid his hands around her waist and the carriage took off.
Alanna made small movements in these early moments, just grinding a bit. She smiled just a little as she remembered the first time she'd done this. Back then, she had immediately gone to trying to give a blowjob to the richest man there. She'd thought it would be polite, the least she could do for a ride in such a fine carriage. And of course, he had enjoyed it. The problem was that everyone else wanted the same treatment. That meant giving five back-to-back blowjobs to the other members of that carriage and arriving late to her appointment. For now, all she did was sit on his lap to grind on his hard cock a little.
Out of politeness, she leaned to the side just a touch so the men could continue their conversation. It seemed the two of them must have been used to courtesans, as neither one broke their conversation for even a moment.
"And I'm telling you," The poorer man insisted, "That the longer we tie ourselves to this ridiculous and draconic system--"
"--Ridiculous?! Draconic!? You can't be serious! The only thing ridiculous about it is that the City Guard aren't paid more!" The richer man demanded. Neither one of them noticed as Alanna began to pick up her pace a little. He'd gotten hard, but now it was time to get his attention. Not to mention she liked the idea of letting him release a little bit of that tension.
"Mmm. That is...that is very...." Moaned the richer man as Alanna began to lean onto his erection even more. Across from him, the poorer man looked frustrated. He held out his hand, and the carriage stopped again.
A young woman stepped into the carriage. She had shoulder length blonde hair that flipped up just a little at the ends. There was a small splash of freckles over her nose, which pointed just a little bit upwards. To top it all off, she had eyes as rich and blue as the sky Alanna had just been admiring. Everyone drank her in like parched dogs.
"H-hello." The blonde teen said as she attempted a small curtsey. "My name is Lyra. I'm very glad you--oh!" She squeaked as the poorer man pinched her butt. While her fine dress and shapely figure could make her a courtesan, Alanna couldn't be sure. Not yet anyway.
"Just please. Sit." The poorer man patted the seat next to him. Which, she did.
"She's a good girl." Alanna thought. Obedient without being desperate. That was a tough wire to walk, even for some of the most skilled courtesans, like herself. Personally, she always reminded herself that she was in power the whole time. The punishment for doing something after she, or any other sex worker for that matter, had verbally refused was severe. And that was on purpose. No one was allowed to get away with that kind of behavior.
Alanna shook her head and refocused on what was happening. The man had gotten quite hard from her grinding, despite being distracted, and would need some extra care soon. Meanwhile, across from her, Lyra had begun a high energy hand job. This told Alanna everything that she needed to know.
For one, the technique was all wrong. Lyra moved quickly, eagerly. At that pace you could overstimulate and distract the customer. Second, once he came, she had little in the way of cleanup. No one liked washing cum out of underclothes. And finally, she was at a strange angle. People enjoyed being able to return the favor while being jerked off. Instead, the poorer man just slipped his hand down the front of Lyra's dress.
"Excuse me." Alanna interjected. She kept her voice just a little too quiet to be heard without paying attention, but not so quiet that no one could hear it. Another good trick. Both men, and the newcomer Lyra, focused on Alanna. Though her peer did not stop moving her hand, which was a good instinct.
"Oh. I'm sorry. Did you need something?" The richer man asked. She straightened up a little.
"I'm going to the House of Yates. It should be just beside King Maker's Square. Could either of you gentleman bring me there? It would be greatly appreciated." She explained. Lyra's eyes widened. A smile grew across her face as she bounced up and down a little.
"That's where I'm going too!" Lyra chirped. Her eyes grew even wider for a moment as the man she was touching came. She giggled, it was a full-bodied sound that was part innocent and part satisfied but all alluring. Another realization dawned on Alanna: this girl was not all that intelligent. Kind, perhaps, and eager, but not smart. That was fine.
"I see," managed the poorer man, who was still half in a daze. He flashed the richer man a desperate look, one that Alanna could read like a book. It was the look of a man who needed to fuck, or he would explode.
