Her first clue that she was no longer in House Exotica was the noise. The men weren't talking very loudly, but it was so unusual to hear men talking in her hallway at all, that she noticed it immediately. Her second clue, was the large, hot body that was curled up around her own. Had Matron actually let a client spend the night? That was more than highly unusual, it was unheard of. It still didn't hit her that she was no longer in the whore house, however, until she opened her eyes.
Although the room she was in was nicely furnished, the decorations were nothing like she'd seen in House Exotica. All of the rooms there were made for sex, whereas this room had more of a lived-in feel. Almost homey. The decorations were soothing dark blues, greens and grays, not the reds and blacks that Matron used for inciting passion in the clients.
Chryssa wriggled, trying to move away from the big body behind hers so that she could see who it was. Immediately, the arm around her waist tightened, drawing her back.
"Where do you think you're going?" Lord Plath's growl in her ear sent shivers down her spine.
"I don't know... I don't know where I am," she said, pouting, as she twisted. He loosened his hold on her enough that she could roll over underneath his arm and face him. The Licken lord's silvery grey eyes studied her face, as if looking for something specific. Chryssa had no idea what.
"You're on my ship," he said finally.
"Your ship?!" She was so surprised that her voice actually squeaked. Despite being able to hear men walking by the door, she'd assumed that they were in some part of House Exotica that she hadn't been to. A secret part, maybe. A more private part. "Why am I on your ship?"
"You're mine now and I'm taking you home," he said, with every evidence of smug satisfaction. His body pressed against hers, his erection hard against her stomach, and for a very brief moment, Chryssa was almost distracted by the aroused response of her own body. But only for a second.
Putting her hands against his chest, she pushed. "I don't believe you."
That wasn't entirely true. Part of her just didn't want to believe him. She'd gotten used to House Exotica and her circumstances there. Merxia had become her friend. The work hadn't been so bad. And she knew that Matron and Tralik had started to trust her, which was her first step in figuring out how to escape. Now she was on a ship? Headed who knew where? With a Licken Lord? Was he going to sell her to another House? He said she was his... so did that mean he was keeping her? Where would he keep her? What was going to happen to her?
"Calm down," Lord Plath said, seeing the incipient panic on her face. Making a low growling noise, he pushed himself up and out of the bed, distracting her from the whirl of thoughts as she saw that he was completely naked.
Heat pulsed between her legs, entirely unwelcome for once, because she didn't really think she should be in the mood to get it on when her life was up in the air! Again!
"What's this?" she asked as he tossed a filmy length of fabric at her.
Pulling on his pants, he nodded at the fabric in her hands. "It's your dress. Put it on."
This was a dress? She held it up, confused. It looked more like a big loop of fabric. With an exasperated sigh, Lord Plath was suddenly standing in front of her, pulling her up from the bed. Taking the big loop, he made it into two loops and put it over her head. One loop he left resting on her shoulder, pulling her opposite arm through the loop, and then the rest of it fell to her hips. It just barely covered her breasts, ass and pussy, leaving one shoulder entirely exposed, along with half her belly and back and all of her legs. Any movement would cause the fabric to gape, so that anyone could see underneath it. Chryssa looked down at herself in a bit of a shock. She'd thought the dresses at House Exotica were revealing, but this was even more so.
"Perfect," Lord Plath said. He turned towards the door. "Come."
"Come? Where are we going?" she asked, hurrying to catch up to him, mostly because he was the only familiar thing in this new world she'd found herself in. She wondered if he was going to put on a shirt. The door slid open as he reached it and stepped out into the hall. Apparently not.
"You said you did not believe me. I am going to show you and then I am going to claim you."
He sounded completely confident, but his words didn't make any sense to her. Well, the showing her part did. But she already believed him. The hallway was definitely the hall of a ship, not of House Exotica, and she could feel the thrumming vibration of the engines underneath her bare feet. It wasn't very noticeable, but it was there. Several Lickens were out in the hallway, regarding her with a kind of intent curiosity that made her intensely uncomfortable. What she didn't understand was what he meant by claim her. He'd already said that she was his, and if she was on his ship, then she assumed he'd bought her from House Exotica. The thought made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside, right before she got a bit pissed too... wasn't anyone ever going to ask her what she wanted? Yeah, she probably would have said yes if he'd asked her if she wanted to leave the House with him, but since it hadn't, it made her feel a bit irate at him for just taking her away. She hadn't even gotten the chance to say goodbye to her friends!
"So, what am I now? Your personal sex slave?" she asked, trying to understand as she trotted along beside him. The Lickens who passed them in the hall all paused as he went by, a fist thumping against their chest in a kind of salute. All of them looked at her, but not with the sexual interest that she'd expected... just that same curiosity.
"You will be my
prinessa
."
"That word doesn't translate," she said, frustrated. Lord Plath came to a halt outside of another door, pressing his palm against the scanner there. She grabbed his arm as the door slid open, trying to get his attention. "I don't know what that means."
"It means you are mine and you will serve me," he said, arrogance in every line of his body as he walked into the room. Chryssa kept a hold on his arm as she was pulled in, her eyes going big. They were obviously on the command deck. Lickens were scattered around the room in front of various consoles and there were huge screens, showing the vastness of space around them and in front of them. "You will spend your time pleasuring me and only me."
"So... sex slave." That didn't sound so bad really... depending. "Am I your only sex slave?"
Lord Plath came to a halt, scowling down at her. "You will be my
