STAY INSIDE!

It was a very long night, with little sleep, so Bahbi designed adornments in his head. When it was time, he got up, dressed,then woke Vi. She looked up at him groggily, taking in his coverall and his stance above her.

“Leaving already? You don’t look like you got much sleep.”

“It was fine,” he said, leaning down to brush a kiss on her lips. “I’ve got a lot of work to do before we get underway. I’ll be busy all day.” He looked down at her with a frown, “Um, please don’t come into the fabrication room today. I don’t think I can see you in there without thinking about yesterday.” He smiled at her, roguishly.

She laughed, “Yeah, I don’t think I can, either. I’ll stay away. See you tonight, though?”

He nodded, kissed her again, then left.

It was well into the night cycle when Bahbi turned off his work lights and left the fabrication room, happy and satisfied with his day’s work. He thought Vi would respond very well to the things he had made today, and he definitely thought that anyone who laid eyes on her and Caussus would want to be them, worship them, fuck them, or run away from them. He couldn’t wait to fit them both tomorrow and see his handiwork in full.

The main cavern was empty, so he went straight up to their room and stopped short in the doorway to the quarters. Vi was wrapped up in a blanket from the bed, one side had slipped off her shoulder revealing that she was bare underneath or just in pan-tees. She had dragged a side table around to be inside the enclosed space of the sofa, and two uneaten meals sat there. She had waited for him. Fallen asleep while waiting for him. His heart swelled as he stood in the doorway, watching her sleep. He had never imagined himself belonging with anyone, justbelonging to them as property—a slave. And even if he had dared to imagine it, his imagination never would have even come close to presenting him with a feeling of this depth and breadth.

She must have felt him staring at her on some level, because her eyes fluttered open and slowly focused on him standing there in the doorway. She smiled, sitting up and rearranging the blanket around her, “You’re finally home.”

He nodded and started to purr, emotion welling up in him as he closed the door and went to her. Hewasfinally home.

Twenty-Four: If It’s Naked They Want, It’s Naked They’ll Get!

The next day, Vistood in their sitting room; she stood naked beside an equally naked Caussus, both of them standing before Bobby as he scrutinized their bodies, arms crossed. It was weird, even as she recognized that she was no longer really that fazed by being naked in front of anyone in their little group. She hoped that that would hold true for being nearly naked in front of the whole fucking galaxy, but she didn’t feel too sure about that, at the moment.

Bobby reached down into the box he had brought from the fabrication room and pulled something out, handing it towards Caussus. It appeared to be a gold, fine-mesh, wide belt with a golden metal codpiece hanging off of it.

“Put that on,” Bobby told Caussus casually as he continued rooting around in the box.

Vi watched as Caussus fastened the belt. It was exceptionally fine-linked gold, about an inch wide, and very shiny. Caussus collected up his junk and placed it inside the equally shinycodpiece, which was a kind of 360-degree container instead of just a one-sided affair like on ancient armor. It was shaped to make it appear that it held a penisandtesticles. Baitandtackle.

The codpiece pulled the belt down in the front from its position on his hips, turning it into an extremely sexy, low-slung look. Without looking up, Bobby passed some long, curved, wicked looking blades to Caussus. They appeared to each sit inside a metal loop-style holder.

“Those attach magnetically to the belt. Put them anywhere you want.”

Caussus attached one to each hip at a slight angle, so they pointed backwards diagonally.

Vi looked at him in amazement. Bobby’s relatively simple solution to hiding Caussus’s junk had resulted in a sexy, dangerous looking Caussus. She grabbed one of the crowns that Bobby had set on the sofa, then placed it on Caussus’s head and stood back to admire the whole picture as Bobby stopped digging and stood up with more items in his hands. He stood and took Caussus in, too.

“Holy fuck, Bobby. He looks amazing!” Bobby just nodded, a little astonished himself, it seemed.

Caussus looked down at himself with a little smile, “Madam Vi, Master Bobby, may I go look at myself?”

Vi nodded and gestured him toward their bedroom. As he left, she said to Bobby, “It’s a good thing he doesn’t have any pubic hair to cover, like I do.”

Caussus turned back around, regarded the patch of hair between her thighs, and said, “Come with me, Madam.”

Vi looked questioningly at Bobby, but he just shrugged, so she went to the bathroom with Caussus. He beckoned her to follow him into the shower and pointed at the control panel.

“Would you like to remove your body hair, Madam Vi? You can do so, here.” He pushed a purple button on the controlpanel, then a laser beam came out of the panel, shining on her right breast. “At what height would you like the laser to start?”

“You mean, I just set the height of that laser, and it will remove all hair from that level and lower?” She raised her arm and looked at her hairy armpit.

“Yes.”

Vi gathered up her hair in both hands and piled it above her head, exposing both armpits toward the control panel. “Set it at my collarbone or wherever it needs to be to get my armpits and everything below.”

Caussus made the adjustment, then hit the button. Vi looked down to see that all of her body hair was gone. There was a slight smell of burnt hair in the room. She hadn’t felt a thing.

She grinned back at Caussus, “If we introduced this technology on my planet, we’d be the richest people in the whole fucking world!”
