“This isn’t any hardship. I can’t believe more people aren’t volunteering.”
I almost drooled, so I stopped talking.
The fey continued to gently work the knot until it released then moved lower, checking for more along the shoulder blade.
“Trust me, a lot of us females wanted to volunteer, but our better halves threw fits. They don’t mind information sharing but aren’t keen on physically sharing with their brothers. So I’ve directed a few massages for Ghua and Eden and Hannah and Merdon, but that’s it. No actual hands-on practice for the fey who would be going to Tenacity to do this.”
“Why can’t the committed fey do massages? It might make the human volunteers more comfortable if not all the fey were single,” I said.
“But that would defeat the purpose.”
“Would it? The whole point is to make the people living at Tenacity comfortable around the fey. If the message you’re sending always leads back to hooking up with a fey, they’re going to keep resisting.”
Angel made a disgruntled sound then admitted I might be right.
“Have Emily start putting the word out that it’s a chaperoned massage with a fey already in a relationship. I bet you’d get a few nibbles.”
“Okay.”
The hands slicked over my shoulders one final time and worked their way down again. When he got to my lower back, I let out another groan.
“Oh, yeah. That’s another good spot.” He rubbed little circles that gradually grew, dipping a little further down into the tucked sheet than I was comfortable with. It still felt amazing, only a bit too personal. Before I could say anything, Angel did.
“Never below the underwear line unless requested.”
He grunted, and his fingers immediately retreated.
“Unless requested?” I asked, wondering what she was teaching them.
“The fey aren’t timid. If you want a butt rub, they’d be more than willing to accommodate.”
“Good to know, and not requested today,” I said quickly before the fey mistook that as a “Yes, please.”
Angel chuckled, and silence lapsed for several long moments as he continued to work on my lower back.
“June, there’s a spot on the outside of what I’d call the hip area that sometimes feels really good to have rubbed. Would you mind if he worked on that over the sheet?”
“Not at all.”
“When starting on a new area, don’t assume it should be the same pressure. Start light and ask how the pressure is. Once you get to know a client’s preferences, you won’t need to ask all the time. But for now, start light and ask.”
Since he’d already started tentatively rubbing, I gave feedback right away.
“That’s plenty firm. I didn’t realize how sore that spot was until you started rubbing it.”
“Yeah, it’s hit and miss for some people. I love it when Shax rubs there, but Eden didn’t like it. It was too tender. Hannah said she didn’t trust Merdon’s hand that close to his favorite spot.” Angel chuckled to herself.
“Tor made a comment about Merdon and Hannah that worried me,” I said as the fingers gently continued to work the tension from my outer butt cheeks. “He said Merdon only hurts Hannah enough so she doesn’t hurt herself. Does Merdon hit Hannah?”
“Merdon trains Hannah. Part of that training is that flipping and avoiding being bitten like you’ve been doing. Fey teeth are sharper, so Merdon is careful, but yes, he will bite her to remind her that she needs to fight back to survive. While he would never truly hurt her, the infected won’t hesitate. And part of his reminder also includes a sharp smack to her ass if he happens to get her to the mat. He promised Mary and James that he never leaves a lasting mark, though.”
The fey set his hand in the center of my back for a moment then covered my top half before sliding his hand down my left leg and uncovering that.
“I guess that explains why Eden and Hannah keep it real with biting. I’m glad they didn’t incorporate spanking.”
Angel snorted.
“Eden put her foot down. She doesn’t want to feed any of Ghua’s fantasies.”
