Jaina awoke from a long dream of passion with her lovers to find herself tangled in a pile of women. All around her were beautiful women whose entire existence was to be sexual art. She turned her head to kiss the woman on her shoulder, causing a smile to spread. The woman looked up, and their eyes met, communicating all that needed to be said. She shifted so their lips could come together, and Jaina eagerly accepted the offer, spending the next twenty minutes in a simple, passionate kiss. Then they snuggled closer as she stroked the back of the woman over Jaina's chest, getting a pleased groan.
Jaina felt content to be a part of it all, but then something very odd happened. The woman at her chest looked up and, out of nowhere, spoke.
"You have very pretty eyes," she said in a hushed voice.
Jaina was confused by the sudden words when she hadn't heard any of them speak other than in the heat of passion. The woman could see the doubt on Jiana's face, so she crawled up to lean over Jaina and whispered some more.
"We know we're not supposed to talk, but some of us dare to whisper a comment or two when Rajeen isn't here," she said. "The matrons who care for us don't mind if we talk in a hushed whisper."
"So we can talk a little?" Jaina replied cautiously.
"Only when Rajeen isn't here," the woman she had been kissing added in. "And she usually plays with whoever she took to bed first thing in the morning. She won't be here for another hour, so if you want to say something, now is the time."
Jaina wasn't sure what she wanted to say that wasn't simple praise of the women's beauty. It seemed a rather silly comment considering they were all beautiful, and she had gotten used to being silent.
"So, did you really have sex with all those men?" The woman at her chest asked.
"You know about me then?" Jaina asked as the woman nodded. "Well, yes. I did," Jaina admitted. "And tonight, I will have sex with more."
"Then we will have to purify you again," the woman said with a pleased smile.
Jaina blushed as she remembered yesterday's cleansing, where she was placed in a tub of warm scented water while twenty women scrubbed her body. They even used a device to rinse out the inside of her body, eager to purge every trace of the men. She vividly remembered the warm water pouring from her body as she was purged of the unwanted taint.
"You know that purifying is kind of a reward," Jaina suggested as the woman at her shoulder snuggled in.
"It's meant to make you feel good before you're locked away for a year," the woman at her chest replied. "But the rumor is you have special permission because you're a shape shifter, and you're on loan from another master."
"I see gossip spreads even when your not supposed to talk," Jaina said and started to stroke the woman at her side. "And yes, that rumor is true. I have a primary master who has loaned me to the harem for Rajeen's pleasure. As part of the agreement, I still work at night for my original master."
"Why?" the woman at her chest asked. "Wouldn't you rather be here for good?"
"Honestly, no," Jaina said as she noted the confused look on the woman's face. She realized they didn't understand her motivation, so she explained why she came to New Eden. How she and Roric were a pair, and she couldn't do the things she did without him. She also told them a little about their dream and how they planned to build a magical forest full of sexual adventures.
"That sounds fun, but I like it here," the woman at her side said.
"I would still rather share myself with other women," the one at her chest intoned.
Jaina understood their points of view and to each their own. If a woman was happy to be here or simply to share herself only with other women, that was her choice. She honestly thought that what Rajeen enjoyed most was taking women who did like men and forcing them exclusively to love women. She enjoyed having the power to deny them sex with men and Jaina had a sneaking suspicion she would one day try to convince Jaina to stay. Of course, it wouldn't work, but she liked the idea that Rajeen desired her. The two women started to kiss one another, using Jaina as a bed as their kissing progressed to much more. Jaina stroked and petted them as they started to moan, and the harem slowly woke up to resume its day-to-day role. Rajeen joined them an hour later and watched for a bit before heading out. This was when Jaina was free to roam, so she quickly met her family in the common hall and sat at a table close to a fountain.
"So, how were your dreams?" Gisley asked with a wide smile.
"You know exactly how they were, you sneaky little fairy," Jaina laughed as she sat down.
"You know I feel bad that I hadn't considered using Gisley to bring us together at nights," Roric said. "It gives us hours of time to love one another."
"We should consider inviting Sandris into one of our dreams," Chandice offered. "Give her a little more experience."
"I'm not sure she is ready for the kind of pounding Roric likes to give his women," Jaina laughed. "But she seems to have gained an understanding of what she was."
"I wish you could have seen her," Gisley said as they looked at Chandice. "She was so happy to finally be making love to a man."
"She was hung up on thinking of herself as a man," Evalynn added. "She might have those memories, but no matter how you look at it now, she is a woman."
"It must be hard for some people," Jaina said and looked at Roric with a smile. "We discussed your coming as a woman once. If I recall, you told me it would never happen unless the transition wiped your memories."
"I know who I am," Roric said. "And it sounds like our friend was suffering from gender shock."
"Oh, absolutely," Jaina agreed. "She was so tightly wound up in her male identity she couldn't let go."
"Why would anyone like that choose to play a woman?" Chandice asked as she looked over a menu.
"She said she thought it would be more fun," Gisley replied. "I think she thought that just changing her body would change her mind."
"They tell you in class that doesn't happen," Roric said as he put an arm around Jaina. "And considering the trouble they gave us about our choices, I am sure they make you jump through hoops if you plan to switch genders."
"Honestly, I think most people have no trouble with it," Evalynn interjected. "Until Sandris, I have never even heard of somebody with her problem."
"I am just glad I was able to help her," Gisley said as she looked around the room.
"Hoping to see her?" Jaina asked as she noted how Gisley searched.
"I was," Gisley admitted. "But I am sure we will see her later."
"Will we?" Evalynn asked. "She said she was planning on leaving. Now that she is ready to embrace love with a man, she might already be on her way out."
"Oh," Gisley said with a sad note. "I really wanted to see her again."
"Nope, I can't live with Gisley being sad," Jaina said as she got up.
"Where are you going?" Roric asked as Jaina adjusted her silk wraps.
"I can go into the private rooms," Jaina replied. "I am going to find Sandris and send her to the table."
Gisley's eyes started to sparkle at the prospect, and Jaina knew this was her task. She wandered the hall and then went behind the bar into the kitchens where a dozen women were lounging in a nook, talking. She asked about Sandris, and none of them knew where she was, so Jaina headed to the back halls, where there was a stairwell to the harems. It was guarded by two tiger men NPCs who nodded as Jaina smiled and walked passed. She hoped to find her before reaching the harem as then she would be unable to ask questions and might be pulled into sex. To her great relief, she found the deer woman at the end of a hall, nervously pacing.
"Sandris," Jaina called as she approached, causing the woman's ears to stand straight up.
"Oh, it's you," Sandris said in surprise.
"Are you alright? You seem very nervous," Jaina said, noting how she shifted her feed and didn't seem to know what to do with her hands.
"I don't know what to do," Sandris said. "I enjoyed last night, but now I don't know if I have the courage to leave."
"Why wouldn't you have the courage to go?" Jaina asked, not sure why this was such a big deal.
"If I go, I can never come back," Sandris replied. "I will have to make it on my own."
"Sandris," Jaina sighed and took one of the woman's hands. "Why are you so afraid of life?"
"I don't know," Sandris admitted. "Maybe it's because I wasn't very good at taking care of myself in the real world. When I came here, I thought things would be easy, but you still have to work hard."
"Well, you need to do something profitable, but we can talk about that later," Jaina said, pulling her from the hall. "Are you off work?"
"I am not working today," Sandris replied.
"Then come sit with us," Jaina urged. "Gisley really wants to talk to you."
Sandris nodded, and Jaina led her back to the table to sit her down next to Gisley. Jaina introduced her to the others as Sandris withered under Roric's gaze.
"Is something wrong?" Gisley asked.
"I feel embarrassed that he knows I slept with a man," Sandris said.
