Epilogue
"It's great to talk to you, honey. Sorry I had to give that news, the apartment didn't work out so we're going to make sure you get the summer term in school and we
will
visit!"
"I get it, Dad, just wish it didn't come so suddenly. And right after you moved in! Seriously, we just got to see it for the first time."
"I know, I know. Don't worry about us, though. Our finances are in order, and your mother and I are going to try out the RV life for a bit. We never really got to go exploring, so now we plan to make up for last time."
"And knowing you, you're going to go be a white knight guest star for every failing computer in every city you visit. Don't lie!"
"I promise I'll try not to, but we both know you're probably right. I have to go, your mother looks about ready and we have a long way to go today before we park. Love you!"
"Love you too, Dad!"
There was a click as the call ended, and as soon as it did my hand found Lucy's as we both shared intense orgasms. From beneath the table we'd been sitting at, Lilly and Layla emerged, both smiling broadly and licking their lips. Which one had been doing whom, I'll leave it to the reader to guess. Not that it mattered, all of my ladies could suck a golf ball... or a bowling ball, really... through a garden hose. They all ate pussy like world champions, too, though I had not direct experience on that count. The look on my wife's face was clear enough evidence of that.
The table we sat at was itself in the main compartment of the RV I'd spoken to my daughter about, which in turn was parked at a campground in the outskirts of the city Lucy and I had called home for nearly three decades. A week from the fateful day I had made the arrangements with the Dean, a week since I had brought Layla to her present literally-radiant perfection, a week since she had called in to work to tell them she was leaving town after the fire that had consumed her apartment. Her boss understood that much, their separation was easy and amicable.
It took Lilly and Lucy about two days to find a good vehicle for us, mostly we didn't want to use any supernatural abilities we had in pursuit of it. No shapeshifting, no sex to convince people. They still struck awe with their beauty and sex appeal, had extremely effective minds behind the bodies, could read people like open books, and did the mundane research that went into such things in a tenth of the time it would normally take. The dealerships stood no chance against them, especially since no custom work was required. My only regret was that my need to lay low combined with my lack of time to practice shapeshifting meant I couldn't go out and watch them do it.
Lucy decided to drive out. Lilly had just given her a huge smile, and Layla had never been able to get a license before. Me? I probably would have, but my phone pinged at me again. The promised contract update from the school I taught... used to teach... at. The terms were generous, as they went. Not as great as a tenured professor or a senior admin, but it would keep me on track for retirement and do a lot to cover food and gas for our new life. The Dean either already knew or didn't NEED to know that the money didn't really matter. It was less than a quarter of my family's income at this point, we didn't need to eat, and now without a rent payment it meant almost everything was discretionary.
Short version? The numbers might not look it, but we were now pretty much in the Idle Rich category for lifestyle.
I felt the vehicle gently taking the first few turns to get out onto the highway. Vegas was not the closest city, but it certainly attracted a certain type and would let us blend in. If we needed to move again, LA would be it, followed by Hollywood. Places where beautiful people congregated, where names were cheap and actions meaningful. Places where camgirls congregated, and where random flings and pickups weren't out of place.
