Elunara woke with Tulani in their bed. She was groggy at first and confused, but remembered Tulani had not wanted to leave her. She carefully untangled Tulani from her. Darguni was up and Tulani popped out of bed.
Grogek headed out and Tulani said she had to do some work at the Tailor's she had been missing. Darguni would sleep for the next couple of hours, so Elunara began working on Mrs. Finister's portrait. At the knock on the door, she groaned. Opening the door she was surprised to see Jerry and Louis.
"Well, in with ya." She sighed. She closed the door and turned to them. "What do you want?"
"Well, Grogek said you're...back." Jerry grinned.
"Like THAT kind of back." Louis blushed.
"Yes, yes I am."
"So, do you mind if we... uhhh." Jerry looked around.
Elunara pointed to a bed in the far corner. "Stay there. And keep it down, the baby's asleep and I want to get some work done."
"Don't worry. We're getting real good at keeping quiet." Louis giggled.
"Just go." Elunara shook her head. She sat down and continued her work. She decided she was glad she had plenty of experience ignoring people. When she dropped her pencil and turned to pick it up, she was treated to a fascinating bit of male flesh works.
She turned back to her board and considered the idea. With a shrug she went back to her other work. An hour or so later and the low murmuring had her looking back. They were cuddling and she considered.
"Hey guys?"
They looked up.
"Can I draw you?"
They froze and looked at each other.
"I wouldn't add your faces; it'd just be a study in bodies. I don't often get to see bodies like this."
"I don't know, Louis?"
"Well, if it's ok with you, Jerry."
Elunara shrugged. "It would mean extra time here... doing... that." She gestured to them.
"Yes!" Jerry grinned. "I like that plan."
"Cool. Next time then."
Jerry and Louis left flushed and mussed up with a vague explanation of what had happened. Tulani laughed as she closed the door.
"Who do those two think they fool?"
"Themselves mostly." Elunara shrugged.
A couple of days later, Elunara answered a knock on the door. A man and woman stood outside the door, looking around nervously.
"M-m-my father said we should come by."
"Finister's boy?"
The man nodded.
Elunara looked at Tulani, who had just finished nursing Darguni. "Hey, can you... go? This might take awhile."
"Alright. Grogek might be pleased to for his son to watch him work." She grinned.
Once Tulani was gone and Elunara shut the door, she turned to the two. They were looking at the pictures on her walls.
"Have you been with all of these men?" The woman wondered.
Elunara shrugged. "Most of them."
"Momma will love this picture." The man breathed. He touched it with a finger.
"Please don't smudge it."
He nodded. He shuffled his feet and blushed. "Umm, Papa said that you could maybe help us. We're not having... relations as often as we keep thinking we should."
The woman blushed and crossed her arms with a frown. "You don't have to tell her that."
"Actually, he does. I can't help you if you're not honest with me. Were you virgins when you married?"
They both nodded.
Elunara sighed and rolled her eyes. "Traditionalists." She crossed her arms and leaned against a post. "I have several rules. First, you must always be honest with me. I can't help you if you lie. Second, you must listen to what I have to say, I'm more experienced than the both of you. Third, I have seen thousands of bodies, and I've had my hands and other parts on most of them, whatever you got is not new to me. Fourth, if you get insulting, I will shove your ass out the door, I do not care if you are dressed at the time or not."
"You want us to get undressed?" The woman sounded horrified.
"How am I to know what you are doing wrong if you sit and try to describe it to me? Rule number five, I am a hands on kind of person, if you don't like that, leave now. I will not have an unwilling participant on my hands."
"Let's try it Mayby. You never know if it'll help or not."
She snorted in defiance. "Says you."
Elunara shook her head. "I am a clinical kind of person; I could have been a healer. I see bodies as bodies first, sex objects second. I have no interest in you, you're not my type."
The woman frowned. "You have a... well..."
"A girlfriend?" Elunara shrugged. "She is my type. Not you. Once we are done here, I probably won't even acknowledge your existence outside of these doors. Unless you want me to. But I won't go out of my way to do it." She shook her head. "If you care for it, I can do drawings of you for the healer book. Or portraits at another time. For now, we are here to work on your sexual problems."
"Mayby, she knows things. She wouldn't have what she has if she didn't. Papa says she was a mission specialist who got people to do anything she wanted."
"This much is true." Elunara nodded. "My specialty, as it were, is to convince men to give me what I want through the use of my body. I have pulled secrets and toppled empires based on what I can do with my mouth alone. I have spent hundreds of hours studying men. What their bodies do and how to make them work for me. I can show you how to apply this knowledge to your own husband. And, even better, I can show you how to enjoy your own body. How to get what YOU want, through the use of fingers, hands and other body parts." She shrugged. "If you're insane enough to want to learn it, I can teach you a pressure point technique that will make him come in about three seconds. Don't recommend it for amateurs, because you can do some unpleasant damage."
The man whimpered and covered his crotch. "Can we not?"
Elunara laughed. "I don't plan on it. But if she's desperate enough..."
"No." Mayby blushed. "No, not that." She put her hands on her cheeks. "The rest of it sounds fascinating though. Have you really been with that many men?"
"You have to be more specific sweetie; sex can mean a whole lot of different things. You've got standard in the hole, you've got anal, you've got hands, and you've got your mouth. There's an entire list of men I only gave hand jobs to." She shrugged again. "The list of men I've let have my entire body is surprisingly short. At least compared to the rest of it. Don't look so surprised, even whores have their standards."
"I didn't mean it!" Mayby grabbed her face again. "Did you have sex with Renwa?"
"Mayby!"
"I've seen how he looks at her." She crossed her arms.
Elunara laughed. "Years ago he and I were what you'd call lovers. The he was my commanding officer. We recently worked out a few hanging details."
"What does Commander Grogek think of it?"
"The same he thinks of all men I've been with. "Hah! She's still mine." She sighed. "Are we going to pick apart my love life, or are we going to help you with yours? Because I have better things, and better people I could be doing now."
"Just one more question."
