Orlando could not remember a time in his life when he had ever felt this fulfilled. The past two weeks had passed him by in a blur, memories and impressions mixing together in his mind to form a kaleidoscope of pleasures and joy. Ever since he and Rami became honest with one another that time in Excellence's guest bedroom, things had only kept escalating. Not a single night passed by without the two of them making passionate love, and to Orlando's great surprise, Rami was the one that put a stop to the threesomes after that one instance. He paused in his duties of cleaning the shop, leaning on the broom as he thought back to that special night.

In the broken remnants of the bed, the three of them had indulged in their carnal desires until dawn was nearly breaking. Dishevelled, out of breath, and with every inch of their bodies tingling from the after-shocks of the orgasms, they must have been quite the sight. Somehow, despite their exhaustion, Rami had spoken up from her position at the bottom, with Excellence on top of her and Orlando flat on his back at her feet.
"Exy. Honey, you know I love you, right?" Rami had taken a serious tone, which caught the other two off-guard.
Excellence licked her fingers, absently circling her right nipple with her index finger. "Of course, darling. We will always have something special together."
"Precisely." Rami said. "However... what I've shared with Orlando? I... I may be selfish, but I want him for myself. I do not wish to share anymore."
That had caused him to blush scarlet, but when he looked into his beloved's face he had seen no hint of hyperbole. She was entirely serious.
Excellence had paused for a few moments before bursting into laughter, alternating with coos. "Oh, my little Rami has grown up. Claimed your mate, and hell-bent on keeping it that way?"
Shifting so she could bring an arm around Orlando, Rami held him close. "Yes. I hope you understand."
"Oh, darling, I am not mad. If this is the last time you share with anyone? I am honoured to have been the lucky woman." She kissed Rami's cheek. "I hope you both remain happy, but I will take my leave now. Feel free to stay long as you wish, though I may have another business proposition in the works. Until then? You enjoy yourselves."
And with that, the naked tiefling hand gotten off the ruined bed on shaky legs, still feeling slightly weak from the intense experience shared by the three of them. When the door closed, Rami had turned to him, her expression gentle.
"I hope this is not a problem?"
Orlando shook his head in response, and tilted his head to kiss her tenderly. "No, I... I am just a bit shocked."
Rami returned the kiss, and ran a hand through his messy hair. "I still have a few surprises in me. Now, how about we actually get some sleep? You're going to be sore in the morning."
Orlando had happily agreed to that, and snuggled up with her, resting his head between her full breasts. It felt warm, and comforting. Within moments, he had been asleep.

He was shaken out of his reminiscing by Rami clearing her throat nearby.
"Thinking about something?" She smirked, setting down a crate on the front desk.
Orlando blushed and resumed cleaning, running the broom along the floor even if it was almost spotless. "Oh, uhm... yes. Just... thinking about how lucky I am. To not only have met you, and fallen in love with you, but... for you to feel the same." He gave her a sincere, if sheepish, smile.
Rami chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Stop it, you're going to make me blush too. We're still on the clock, so to speak."
"i... I suppose we are. Back to work then, huh?" He tried to not look at her more than necessary, fearing he'd be overwhelmed by the memories once more and lose focus.
The two of them kept tending the shop for another short while before they were interrupted by Excellence, striding in with a big grin on her face. "Ah, there are my lovebirds. Set aside the cleaning for now, I bring great news." Without waiting for an answer, she moved behind the front desk and laid out a large document she had kept under her arm.
Curious, Orlando walked over to look at the document. Scanning it up-side down proved a bit difficult, but he could at least make out numbers and what seemed like a name. "A... an order? From the shop?"
Excellence grinned wider. "Indeed. Quite the large one, too. I managed to snag it from underneath some others' noses. I can be very... persuasive." She gave her old friend a wink.
Rami rolled her eyes and wrapped an arm around Orlando. "Yes, yes, we know how you got the contract. So what does it have to do with us?"
The tiefling's expression changed to a pout. "Aww, can't you let me have this? Fine, if you want to talk business..." She placed a finger at the top of the document. "This is the full request from a captain Brynn. He is in charge of setting up a new forward outpost to the east, to facilitate the exploration of the dunes there. This..." She tapped the document again. "Contains what he needs to entice adventurers, and keep them alive. He's paying a premium, naturally."
Orlando gave a few nods, even if he felt a bit lost. "So... what does this have to do with Rami and I?"
Excellence sighed. "I thought you were the merchant, dear. See, I can't leave my shop for such a long travel, and I do not have anyone able to transport it. As such..."
"You would like us to make the journey instead." Rami finished for her.
"Bingo." Excellence gestured to the shop. "Unfortunately, I do not have everything they ask for in stock just yet. I have made arrangements, and within a month, this load will be ready." She smirked. "However, in that time, I don't really need both of you just... hanging around."
Orlando went a bit pale. "So.. what would you have us do?"
In response, the tiefling pulled out two pieces of paper from her coat. "Use these."
