Chapter 15 - Twin face
"Well, fancy that! Your bunny butt is actually early for once!" Mina taunted teasingly. She stood with her arms folded, tapping her foot against the floor in impatience.
"For something like this, I like to make the effort! What can I say? Maybe it's just your sorry ass I have no business being on time for." Tani swept her slender ears back as she strutted towards the other Node.
"Thought you might've been daydreaming of the simple life again! Kicking back, sun on your ears, growing fuckin' veggies in the dirt!" The goblin giggled.
"You know me, I'm a slut for a cottage." Tani smiled, half joking, half not.
Mina was standing in front of airlock doors, thick, heavy and fortified, not too dissimilar to the inhabitant who ruled the den on the other side. From the outside, everything appeared rather... normal, for this space station anyway. But on the inside? Normality came to an abrupt end the second you entered the Crimson Quarters.
Both Nodes were dressed provocatively, with form-clinging leggings and crop tops, dark in colour and heavy in lycra. Their thick curves were on full display, as was their proud bulge down below. They shared an excited grin as the hydraulic doors hissed and rolled back smoothly. Tani pulled down and stroked her long, silken ears as the corrupted goblin by her side twitched with anticipation.
The steam cleared to reveal a delightfully dark corridor, the downlights having been snuffed out a long time ago. The corridor wasn't pitch black though; an inviting, seductive amber glow emanated from the hand-scribbled graffiti, carved desperately into the walls...
NEVER LET ME GO.
Messages to their queen...
WITHOUT YOU, I'M NOTHING.
Each as obsessive and lavish as the last, a mix of insanity, love and ecstasy was achingly spelled out on the walls...
FIRE OF MY HEART, LEADER OF MY LOVE.
Love hearts drawn in crackling, honey-coloured goo lit their way down the corridor, casting their soft glow and warming the air. Walking into the den elated both of them, the heat prickled at the backs of their necks as they hurried their step, urging them deeper.
Their heels clacked on the floor in unison until they reached the end of the corridor, the entryway shrouded in thick ruby curtains, the edges of which looked almost like glowing embers. As they approached, a familiar sound and smell graced their senses. Tani entered first, pushing through the heavy curtains, savouring their silken touch against her skin. Mina followed quickly behind her.
It was brighter inside the main chamber, but the lighting still retained that same deep, amber haze. The light had a fire-like effect to it, casting flickering, sweeping shadows across the room from the lanterns mounted on the walls. There were several Nodes inside already, dotted evenly around with as many Marks as they could possibly desire, bent over the heavy furniture that was laid out for just such a purpose. Not a second went by without a wet slap or a fierce moan. Panting, whispers and lust filled the air.
It was a sexual feast, and those participating were utterly entranced, lost in their personal pleasure, taking out their corruptive desire with wild abandon. Another Node entered the room, tall and busty, from another curtain-covered side entrance. A line of Marks followed behind her closely, their eyes bouncing from Node to Node. They followed their leader willingly, no chains or shackles on their limbs. Nothing but a hungry, knowing smile on their faces. This was where they wanted to be.
The Node gave Tani and Mina a friendly wave and gently gestured towards the Marks behind her, inviting them to partake. The pair declined politely however, pressing their fingers together to make a heart and pointing towards the larger curtains ahead of them, lined in gold and fire. The Node nodded knowingly and continued on her way, her line of eager volunteers trailing behind her.
Tani and Mina licked their lips as their corruptive desire intensified, but they knew that if they just waited, they had a bigger meal ahead of them. They pushed through the gold-adorned curtains and entered into a massive chamber. Crimson tapestries hung from the ceiling against the stone-like interior. The insides of the wing had been hollowed to to more closely resemble the inside of a cathedral with a wicked, sexual taint to it. Sat centre against the far wall was a grand throne, sculpted from melted ship hulls. The edge of the chair was lined with precious white messiahryte, looted from ships destroyed, giving the throne an enticing, eye-catching white halo, where the Molten Mistress herself was currently sitting, in all her epic blazing glory. Her fiery dreadlocks danced behind her head, curling beneath her warmth. Her thick, muscular body dominated the room. Underneath her throne, two small streams of bright amber fluid flowed the width of the chamber, caged with a black grating.
Moltezz sat with her legs hanging over one of the arms of her throne, leaning back contentedly as multi-coloured flames danced along her arms, illuminating the chamber even more vibrantly. She was dressed in a metallic bra and a black loincloth which barely covered her massive manhood. The shadows flickered and teased around her hips, begging to reveal just a little bit more.
Her piercing yellow halos immediately locked onto the two approaching Nodes. Underneath the hot hazy air and the flickering flames that danced along her hands, they could just make out the curve of a smile that graced the Controller's lips.
"Perfectly on time, and dressed as requested! I expected no less from you two. Those lycra leggings really do bring out the best in your figures." She grinned, her voice projecting through the chamber with an astounding clarity.
Both Tani and Mina felt an excited smile grace their own pretty faces, and a rush of adrenaline spiked in their chests.
"We wouldn't dream of missing out on one of your parties! Wouldn't miss it for the world!" Mina hummed happily. "When do we begin?"
"In ten minutes exactly. The Marks are being prepared as we speak. Why don't you two come and have a seat whilst we wait?"
The Nodes looked about and noted the distinct lack of furniture around Moltezz's throne, but before they could wonder for long, the Molten Mistress snapped her fingers. The flowing fluid underneath the chamber erupted from its grating on either side of her. In the blink of an eye, it had shaped itself under the mistress' psyonic command, and with a second definitive *snap* the fluid cooled with a loud hiss and a burst of sparks. Two smaller, metal thrones now sat on either side of Moltezz, cooled and safe for the pair to sit on.
Tani and Mina turned to face each-other slowly with their ever-widening grins and quickly rushed to take their spot.
"That was fucking sick." Mina laughed. "No-one has ever made me chair in my life, nevermind with such style!"
"Oh Mina, for god's sake darling! Can you not just let the moment breathe? Sometimes less is more!" Tani giggled back, resting her palm against her forehead in exasperation.
"Less is more?! Oh cottage whore, more is more!" Mina protested, grabbing her large breasts and shaking them up and down. "Ain't no one gonna tell me otherwise!"
Moltezz stretched her hand out in front of her, rolling her palm around until a bright cyan flame erupted from it, unphased by her subjects' bickering.
"You've served me excellently over the last few months. Your help in building rapport and trust with the Nodes has not gone unnoticed. Loyalty, honesty and performance, three of my favourite qualities in a person and you two deliver it by the cart-load. And for that, I am incredibly grateful."
Tani and Mina visibly blushed and squirmed in their seats at their queen's complement.
"Your loyalty seems without question. I can confidently say that you've earned your places by my side. Not once have you tried to deceive me, not even has the thought entered your heads, and for that, I trust you whole-heartedly."
