pretty good.
Dani was a member of the powerful Pleasure Guild, highly trained and well paid
for her services. She was completely free to come and go as she pleased, working in any
pleasure house she chose. Upon retirement, she would have her pick of suitors and a
healthy cash settlement, more than enough to support her for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, the Guild only accepted extremely beautiful girls in their early teens as
apprentices. Calla was too old to join even if she wasn’t a slave, she thought wistfully.
“Dani? It’s me, Calla,” she said into the little com outside Dani’s door. It was still a
little early for Dani to be up after working all night, but Calla knew Dani wouldn’t mind
her stopping by. They got very few opportunities to visit, especially lately. Things had
simply been too chaotic.
“Calla?” Dani’s voice floated out through the speaker. “It’s good to hear your voice.
Come on in.”
Pressing her palm to the doorplate, Calla waited for the door to slide open. When it
did, the scent of Dani’s perfume wafted out into the corridor. Dani stood in the doorway,
dressed in a luxurious silk robe tied around the waist. Her long, blond hair fell to her
waist in fat curls. Calla knew she must have just crawled out of bed, but she still looked
like a vid star. Dani always looked perfect–whenever Calla asked how, Dani would
simply wink and whisper “trade secret.”
“Come in, come in,” Dani said, engulfing her in a warm hug, then gesturing toward
the low couch in her living area. Dani’s apartment was tiny, like every apartment on the
cramped station, yet somehow it seemed like a different world to Calla. Everything was
draped with silk and soft pillows, and there were holo pictures on the walls from all
over the galaxy, one from each of the places Dani had lived and worked. She’d been
everywhere.
“It’s so good to see you, Dani,” Calla said, smiling warmly at her friend. “Things
have been so strange since the occupation started. You know, almost all of the
Saurellians are staying at the hostel. They’ve taken over the whole place.”
“I’m surprised they even bother to get rooms anywhere,” Dani said with a laugh.
“I’d swear they spend all their free time at the House of Lilies–though they’re hardly
sleeping there,” she added with a wink.
“Really?” Calla asked, curious despite herself. Dani’s stories of the pleasure house
always intrigued her. Not that she was interested in learning any more about the
Saurellian commander, of course, she told herself. She needed to keep her distance from
him. But it was interesting to learn more about their conquerors.
“Oh, yes,” Dani said. She sighed dramatically and draped herself back against the
pillows. “You wouldn’t believe what those men are like in bed. They’re insatiable. I’ve
never experienced anything like it. I have to say, if I wasn’t a card-carrying member of
the Guild, I’d do it with any of them for free… I swear the credits are just a perk.”
“I see,” Calla said. For once, she felt like she truly understood what Dani was
talking about. She’d certainly never experienced sex as wonderful as what she’d had
with the commander. If it wasn’t for Jenner, she’d have taken him up on his offer in a
heartbeat.
“Last night I was with one named Seth,” Dani said. Calla’s breath caught. Was Dani
talking about her Saurellian? “He’s like a machine. He fucked me twice in a row! I
must’ve come something like five times. I can hardly walk this morning, yet I know for a
fact that he had at least one other girl last night after me.”
Calla’s brow furrowed. Seth had sex with two other women last night?
“Was he, um, one of the ones staying at our hostel, do you think?” she asked, trying
not to sound too curious. It didn’t matter of course. Seth could never be hers, even for a
