Gisley walked through the posh bar room of the inn holding hands with Evalynn as the two searched for a secluded place to sit. Jaina had to return to the harem for a bit, both to honor their contract and find another woman to mimic for the dance later. They wore the new dresses Chandice bought, feeling funny to be so modestly dressed. Chandice and Roric would join them after they were done with a little sex, so the two had a rare chance to be alone.
"I hate that Jaina has to be away from us," Gisley sighed as they looked into the small sitting areas tucked away in nooks along one wall.
"She is making the sacrifice to help us earn the money we need to build our home," Evalynn said. "I admire her spirit, but I miss her too."
"I am sure she is having fun," Gisley added as they checked one of the private areas to see four men who looked up with lewd smiles.
They quickly moved on despite the calls for them to come back and join the men for some quality time. It took a little more searching, but they finally found a low table surrounded by pillows where nobody was sitting. A harem girl arrived minutes later and blushed when she recognized who they were.
"Oh, you're the two girls who danced last night," she said excitedly.
"That's us," Evalynn replied with a smile as Gisley moved over to snuggle into her side.
The harem girl was some form of beast race, with hooves for feet and a short fluff of a tail. The rest of her body was covered in a soft fur that was tan and gold with thin black lines. She had a very human face with pointed ears sticking out of her head, making her race rather hard to place.
"Would you mind if I asked you a question?" the woman said while looking around to see if she was being watched.
"So long as it doesn't get you into trouble," Evalynn replied when she noted the odd reaction. Gisley saw it as well and how the woman's long pointed ears twitched. She stepped closer to the table, so she was partially hidden by the walls of plants that created the nook. Whatever she wanted to ask, she didn't want others to overhear it or perhaps to get back to Rajeen.
"I was just wondering, do you enjoy the sex with random men?" the woman asked.
"I do," Gisley said as her antenna uncurled up a little. She could see something akin to anguish on the woman's face and could feel the tension in the air. "But, I only do it because my master has a beautiful dream for us, and we urged him to use us to make it happen faster."
"We enjoy the sex," Evalynn added. "But Gisley is right. If we weren't doing it for our master, I doubt either of us would do it at all. Our master gives what we do a deeper meaning and encourages us to enjoy the moment."
"So, you didn't become slave girls just to have sex?" the woman asked.
"I suppose we both assumed we would be having a lot of sex," Evalynn replied. "But I don't think either of us assumed it would be like this. Of course, we had our fantasies, but we never dreamed we would be full-time prostitutes."
"And that doesn't make you, you know, uncomfortable?" the bestial woman asked.
"If you mean do we feel bad about it, no," Evalynn stated. "To be honest, the vast majority of men are very nice and well mannered. It is a pleasure to share our love with them, and I am grateful for many of the experiences."
"I am too," Gisley added but noted the woman's expression hadn't changed. "I enjoy it when a man says he loves me, and I hear it a lot now."
"Plus, the nature of the world takes away a lot of the negatives of sex," Evalynn added. "You can't get a disease or get pregnant, and the men are all in perfect health."
"Yeah, they are all tight and fit," Gisley sighed as she thought about some of those muscular chests. "It's just a never-ending train of perfection."
"And the magic of the slave collars gives us an ability to refresh ourselves with a thought," Evalynn pointed out. "So the experience is very different from the real world. But why are you asking us this?"
The woman sighed and looked down as her shoulders sank. Gisley could sense something of regret in the air, her antenna picking up the surface emotions. This woman's line of questioning wasn't getting at what she wanted to know, and now she was afraid to ask directly. Gisley wondered if the girl was a virgin as all her questions circled around one concept. Did they enjoy having sex with men?
"I can tell you are afraid to ask us what you really want to know," Gisley said and tried her best to make eye contact. "So let me ask the question for you. Why are you afraid to have sex with a man?"
"Because I was a man," she said and looked away. "But I thought it would be more fun to play as a woman. They warned me about doing it in the training classes, but some other guys kept bragging they were going to. I guess I wanted to try it, but now I can't bring myself to, you know, do what a woman does best,"
"Have sex with a man," Evalynn replied.
"Oh, is that why you're a harem girl?" Gisley asked as she realized this woman was probably more comfortable with girls. "So you can have sex with all those girls?"
"I thought it would be the answer to my fears," the woman said and scratched at her arm. "I figured if I joined Rajeen's harem, I could have all the women I wanted. It worked for a little while, but I feel like I am missing out. I can't stop wondering what it's like to have sex with a man."
"And you can't bring yourself to do it because you are still a man in your mind," Evalynn finished for her. "Well, you need to get over that because you're a woman now."
"Evalynn is right," Gisley added. "You have nothing to be worried or ashamed about. You're a woman, and you need to embrace it if you want to know the joy we do. But, you are part of Rajeen's harem, and Jaina said that means you can't have sex with a man even if you wanted."
"I know," the woman replied. "But I was thinking about leaving."
"You can leave?" Evalynn asked with a raised brow.
"It's rare, but it does happen," the woman said. "Rajeen removes the mark and casts you out, so you are never welcome to set foot in her inn again. I feel torn about what I want to do. I am settled here and have plenty of sex with the other girls, but...."
"But you wonder what it's like," Evalynn said.
"Yeah, but what if I leave and still can't do it? Or what if I do try it and I hate it? Then I can't come back, and I will be cut off from everything," she said with a true tone of fear in her voice.
"Oh, you're afraid to risk your comfortable life on something you aren't even sure you want," Gisley said as she tapped her fingers on the table. In a way, this woman had the same problem Gisley had before she met Jaina. She made a choice that she was now having trouble acting on, and Gisley wanted to help her overcome it. "I think I know how to fix this."
"You do?" Evalynn asked with a smirk. "How can you fix this without her having to risk it all?
Gisley smiled as the idea formed in her mind. Jaina told them all about the rules, but Rajeen never said the girls couldn't have a naughty dream or two. She turned her head to whisper her idea into Evalynn's ear, causing the elf woman to blush at its simplicity.
"That might work," Evalynn said with a smile. "You really are a sweet thing."
"I try to be," Gisley said and then turned to the woman. "I can arrange for you to make love to a man this very night without having to risk your place in the harem."
"You? You can?" the woman said as she looked around nervously. "How?"
"With a little of this," Gisley said and lifted her palm as glitter magically formed in it. She blew the glitter over the woman, who looked started for a moment.
"What did you do?" she asked while looking over her body in surprise.
"I marked you with a little fairy glitter," Gisley replied. "Now, you pick out any man in the inn and bring me a drink. I will add some glitter to it, and then you serve it to him. That way, you are both marked, and I can find you tonight while you sleep."
"You can find us while we are sleeping?" the woman asked.
"Uh-huh," Gisley said with a wide smile. "And I can pull you into the same dream where you can experience what sex is like between a man and woman. It will only be a dream so that it won't break the rules, and you will know for certain if this is what you want or not."
"You can really do this?" the woman gasped. "I mean, you're not just playing with me?"
"Gisley is a rare class that can manipulate dreams," Evalynn said. "So long as you have been marked before you go to sleep, she can find your dream and make it a pleasant one."
"I can't believe this," the woman gasped. "And now I am so nervous. Who do I pick?"
"Ha," Gisley giggled. "That choice is up to you. We will be here for a bit, so take some time to look around and pick out the man you want to be your first."
The woman nodded nervously and almost turned to leave before remembering she hadn't even asked them if they wanted anything. The two laughed and ordered drinks with a basket of fried mushrooms to share. The woman thanked them again and ran off, her blush so deep it darkened her whole face.
"Do you think she will go through with it?" Evalynn asked.
"I don't know," Gisley replied as she took one of Evalynn's hands to play with. "I never thought about how hard it must be for some men to make the switch. I mean, you spend twenty or more years as a man, and then in the blink of an eye, you are one hundred percent a woman. That has to be confusing or something."
"Honestly, that is the first woman I have met who admitted to having previously been a man. I assumed all the men who switched were gay and were now very happy in their new lives."
"Maybe," Gisley said as she thought about it some more. "But she did it just because she thought it would be more fun. I bet there are a lot of men who did the same who are struggling to adjust to the new body they are in."
"I suppose there must be," Evalynn agreed. "But, as I said, that's the first one I have seen. I think quite a few have embraced what they have become quite easily."
