“Kind, compassionate, beautiful…she’s just about perfect,” Gaze admitted. “Too bad she comes from a society that doesn’t believe in males and females being together.”
“I think she’ll change her mind,” Bound told him. “It’s like you said—we just have to give her some time—that’s all.”
Gaze hoped his brother was right but he wasn’t sure at all what the future might bring…
TWENTY-FIVE
Lexi slipped the ring with its yellow and purple jewels over her right forefinger and smiled triumphantly. She’d had a feeling that a tiny whiff of the sorrow Dream Gas might be just what was needed to soften Lady Pricklethorn’s heart. Of course, it was to be hoped that she would still feel compassion for the misused and murdered bodyslaves when Lexi saw her again at the next meeting of the Sacred Seven, even without the gas.
Lexi decided to worry about that later. For now, she had what she wanted—an audience with the Sacred Seven. As far as she was concerned, this part of the mission was accomplished and now she and Bound and Gaze could get out of there.
Well, as soon as she visited the Ladies Relief Area, that was. She’d been needing to pee for a while now, and she didn’t want to wait until she got home. Also, once they got back to her penthouse, they were probably going to have to talk about all the crazy things she’d said to Gaze and Bound while under the influence of the Love gas. Had she really meant them? To be honest, Lexi wasn’t sure herself, but she would just as soon put off talking about her huge overshare a little while longer.
“I’m going to visit the Ladies Relief Area,” she told Gaze and Bound as they left the sorrow Dream Gas fountain. “I think I saw a sign for it over there. You guys wait for me—I’ll be right back.”
Bound frowned.
“You really think you should go alone, Angel?”
“I’ll be fine,” Lexi told him. “I’ll be sure to avoid sniffing any stray gas bubbles on the way.”
She gave them both a smile and headed across the glowing green dance floor to the place where she’d seen a sign labeled “Ladies Relief” earlier. Sure enough, she found the sign, but there was no door under it. Instead, there was an arrow that blinked on and off and pointed to a hallway to one side of the sign.
Exploring a little further, Lexi saw that the hallway was carved right into the rock of the mine wall. It looked like a dark crevasse full of shadows—which gave her an uneasy chill. But as she watched, a young Mistress in a bright pink dress with hair to match came strutting out of the shadowy hall.
“Is the Ladies Relief Area very far down the hallway?” Lexi asked her.
“Not far. Just a few steps down and to the left,” the other woman answered carelessly. “Excuse me—I just can’t get enough of that lust gas! Bernardo!” she called and a strapping young bodyslave came over to her side at once with a big grin on his face.
“Yes, Mistress?”
“I think I want a few more sips of that lust gas—what do you say?” his Mistress asked, giggling so that her large, mostly bare breasts jiggled fetchingly.
“I say my Mistress should have whatever she wants,” her bodyslave growled and Lexi noted that his shaft, which was poking prominently out of his trousers, was quite hard.
“Come on then—let’s suck lust bubbles and do what comes naturally! And if that big, hard shaft of yours just happens to slip in my soft little slit, well, we can’t help that, can we? I mean, we were under the influence at the time and totally not responsible for our actions!” The pink-haired Mistress caught her bodyslave’s hand and they ran in the direction of the Lust Dream Gas fountain without another look in Lexi’s direction.
Lexi watched them go with a mixture of emotions. She wondered how the young woman could so easily let herself be penetrated when male/female relations were considered as wrong on Yonnite Six as they were on Zetta Prime. Was it different for the younger generation? Were they loosening restrictions here because the party venue was on the outskirts of Opulex? Also, hadn’t the girl been taught how wrong what she was doing was?
But is it wrong? What would happen if you and Gaze and Bound happened to suck in some lust gas? Would you be terribly upset of the two of them ended up penetrating you?
Lexi felt a shiver of desire run through her…and then a stern little voice spoke up in her head.
You can’t do that, Alexa, and you know it. You know how wrong it is! It goes against everything you’ve ever been taught! Shame on you for even considering it!
The voice sounded suspiciously like her mother’s and though she had been dead for over five years now, it still had the power to send a bolt of shame through Lexi.
