Sapphire had of course not mentioned anything more about her plans and was happily humming beside us after we'd just picked up ammo for Quimaru. Interestingly the girls were only allowed three clips on them for basic guard roles but were given more for a dungeon delve.
That only brought me back to the reminder that I would still need one more guard before I could participate. At my current acquisition of guards I would probably be getting one tomorrow but trying to ask the girls for another one now kind of felt more like I was asking for another pair of tits and that just felt scummy.
Looking between Aria and Quimaru I definitely had enough in that department and that wasn't including Sapphire. I wonder if I could persuade my sexy lamia to include those in our next tumble.
"John." Sapphire sang mischievously. "What are you thinking about?"
Ah crap busted. Her ability to smell or taste whenever I was thinking even a little bit naughty was both impressive and annoying.
I sheepishly looked over my shoulder at my lamia who's tongue darted out. She couldn't have had a more shit eating grin if she tried.
"Nothing." I didn't even sound believable to myself.
Unfortunately for me Quimaru had slowed down enough to touch the side of me forehead with one of her hair tentacles. The appendage glowed but I didn't pull away fast enough.
"Oh! He was thinking about our boobies!" The Zodathak called out rather loudly. "And about something called a tit job. Sapphire he wants to put his penis between your...."
"That's not true!" I tried to silence the purple woman. I was glad the current corridor we were in was almost empty. The one group that was a bit ahead of us was another Acolyte and guards and I could see them trying to remain professional but failing.
"So you don't want me to do this tit job?" Sapphire asked with mock innocence.
Heat burnt through my face. "I....I...."
Of our little group I was not expecting Sapphire to tease me out in the open like this. Usually she would be in more of a guard mode but I guess the added numbers and Aria still remaining vigilant that's giving her the leeway. This just gave me an idea.
Still blushing I responded to the girls teasing deciding to flip the situation around. "Well I was hoping Sapphire would be a quick learner but otherwise I'm sure Quimaru you would be keen. Aria can spectate, or perhaps she could warm you guys up for me. Then again maybe I'll watch the three of you and whoever I find to be the sexiest gets to actually perform this tit job while the other two watch."
Sapphire tripped. How someone with a tail trips I have no idea but she managed it. My blue lamia righted herself as I turned to look and she found the wall on the other side very interesting all of a sudden.
Quimaru on the other hand tried desperately to touch me again with her tentacles but Aria growled her when she broke formation. At least one of us was paying attention.
This was not helped by the other Acolyte and her guards bursting into fits with a few hoots in our direction.
"Your males got some spunk." One of them called out as we passed. Evidently our discussion was distracting them so they had taken to the side to let us pass. Just like us one of their guards was all focus while the rest were in fits. Unlike us their focused guard was a mouse girl who's ears followed our group until we were round a corner.
"You two should have expected this. Johns use to being the pursuer." Aria quietly reprimanded them.
"I wasn't expecting him to actually say it out loud. What kind of male says that?" Quimaru tried to defend herself.
"Humans." I replied smirking at the purple Zodathak. "You did call out boobies before and now I'm the surprising one."
Quimaru shot me a look over her shoulder. "You better put your dick where your mouth says."
I shrugged while giving her a smile that said nothing.
"Don't encourage them too much John. At least out here, when we're back you can tease them as much as you want." Aria said then winced at her choice of words.
"Noted. Make sure their very loud so you come bursting in again." I said back with a wink. I couldn't help it.
Before Aria or Quimaru could say anything more Sapphire indicated to the left as a door came into view. They all flinched and brought our huddle in closer.
The reason for this was very obvious as we seemed to cross a threshold that separated the military side of the station to the more recreational. Instead of the large hallways the entire area opened up to a sprawling area of colours that almost had me dizzy.
The girls noticed instantly and we found a side with a bench that they tried to make me sit down on but I was not wanting to stop. I'd played a few video games that tried to create the depth of a station but this was something else.
Towering buildings with flashing lights advertising there wares like multi story shopping complexes while trams ran between them on long paths. It reminded me of Japan slightly and I was almost disappointed there were no flying crafts. Though I briefly thought about the fumes and how much extra would be needed to actually syphon it all out but was immediately distracted by the fountain center piece.
We we on the roof of one building looking down on four stories of waterfalls, each cascading down into pools that would make a football field seem small by comparison. What was most surprising was that these weren't just decorations. Each pool had its own pod of swimmers broken up only by species.
I could only make out the features of the alien creatures in the top most pool and I immediately felt Sapphire push into my side when I saw the complete lack of clothing the mermaid women inside it were wearing.
Each of the multi coloured women had the equivalent of pasties covering their breasts and what looked like skin tight yoga pants modified to fit their hips as it tapered off into a tail. I couldn't make out any more from this distance but I sincerely hoped one of the girls picked swimming as their date idea.
"There really isn't a species you're turned off by is there?" Sapphire hummed into my ear once I'd taken the new surroundings in.
"I mean there's a few things that would be turn offs but I already said I'd try almost anything once." I replied giving the mermaids one last look.
Unfortunately for me a male mermaid made himself known and I deeply regretted looking. The dull silver scales in his tail gave way to a rather pudgy looking man that was currently being held afloat by two females until he made it to a shallow area, where once he was comfortable a few of the mermaids sunning themselves made there way over each trying to vie for his attention.
I grimaced at the display but had to remind myself of the gender imbalance. If it was as bad as everyone was saying this might be all they had a chance with.
"It's good the males are one of them then." Quimaru said leaning against the railing we were looking over. The purple Zodathak was keeping an eye out behind us as she spoke. "As much fun as the stories I've heard about of girls getting it from both ends are I'd rather just share with other girls."
"Spit roast." I laughed out. "I think I can safely say I am the jealous type. I'd rather have only one that's mine than a lot that can just leave at will."
"What about three?" Aria asked placing a hand on my shoulder.
All the girls shared a moment of hope as they looked towards me. That was until Aria growled low in her throat at Quimaru until she looked back behind us.
"As I said I'd rather have one, but I'm definitely not opposed to more. I just don't want to lose what I have is what I'm trying to say." I reiterated grimacing as I watched the male mermaid pick up one of the females and began openly fondling her.
Sapphire was the one to break the silence as I watched unable to look away. "That thought alone makes you so much more desirable John."
I was about to comment again when my lamia forcefully turned my head away from the show and kissed me, hard. Her long tongue danced inside my mouth outmaneuvering my own easily until she had looped it around twice before releasing the kiss. Opening my eyes allowed me to see Sapphire slowly pulling her tongue back into her own mouth massaging my own with steady squeezing until she'd pulled it all back.
"Wow. What was that?" I asked in a slight daze. "A reminder to pick me for that tit job tonight." She said playfully. "Come, dates this way."
She took the lead for a few slithers giving me a wonderful view of her ass swaying until my brain caught up. The other two girls waited for me to move before following along with Quimaru mumbling about advantages but she was silenced rather quickly when Sapphire brought up their training on how to please a female Acolyte, and how they could put that training to good use in arousing me tonight.
Even without a lamias enhanced sense of smell the girls all knew the effect that had on me, especially when I tried to subtilty adjust my pants.
"Okay I get the whole easy to arouse thing now." Quimaru said as she took up a position behind us now that Sapphire was leading.
"Your bloody males must be made of stone to not react to that." I said with a slight snicker.
We merged into the crowds and the girls all pulled in close.
"More over stimulated." Aria answered her hand coming into my right shoulder and she pulled me in close to her side. Her wing came around almost enveloping me completely save for a gap the see Sapphire ahead of us. "You have to understand how often they are subjected to something like this. Most become shy and try to ignore it, others take full advantage and will try to live the high life taking from any females willing to give and not offering much in return."
I tried desperately not to draw parallels to Earth but it was slightly difficult.
"Is that why angels are more picky?" The question was out my mouth before I could stop it.
Sapphire pulled us out of the crowds and onto one of the tram vehicles flashing her badge to the woman in charge who let us through without issue. We found a seat at the back before Aria replied.
"Yes and no. Angels like guarantee and that is something we have found is hard to come by when most males are so spoiled for choice. Think of Sapphire for instance. You have admitted to wanting her and her first thought is to bring others into your relationship, even Quimaru who you have barely come to know. This is because she doesn't want you getting bored of her. Lamia have found it easier to overwhelm males to the point you don't look elsewhere. Angels, we like to show ourselves in a more emotional way I guess. Try to give something no other species really does but in return it's not something we can offer a second if the first one says no." Aria explained as the tram started to move. "So we're a little more guarded and like to make sure before committing."
"This whole speech like you haven't already decided he's worth it." Quimaru piped in with a smile. "Empress be damned Aria don't act like the fact he would stay with only Sapphire if she wanted doesn't make you wetter than a mermaid in a krakens grip."
Aria said nothing back but her blush said everything she didn't.
The tram came to a stop but Sapphire shook her head to say not here so we watched the train empty and fill. It was all so familiar that if you replaced the genders and animal features it would look like Earth.
What was different however was a pair of lamia one with purple scales and another with red that sat two rows ahead of us with a child in the purple ones arms. I presumed they were part of the same family as their tails wrapped around each other as they sat down like they were trying to hug with only their bottom halves. The child seemed to find me utterly fascinating as she looked over her mother's shoulder in our direction with an open mouth.
I smiled and waved back, an action that caused the child to pound her fists into her mothers shoulder until she looked at her only for the child to point in my direction.
"Look mommy it's a new daddy!"
Her mother couldn't have looked more mortified if she tried and the red lamia ended up taking the child in her own arms while the purple tried to apologize over and over.
I just waved her off saying it was fine but when she looked at the girls or more Sapphire she redoubled her apologizing even getting up to bow. Sapphire thankfully got up and intervened to calm her down.
What surprised us all was when the child made grabby hands at my blue lamia. Sapphire looked unsure but eventually gave into the child's insistence and picked her up.
"You look strong, you should join mamas nest and bring new daddy."
Again the two mothers scrambled to apologize yet Sapphire silenced them both. "New papa has his own nest little one he can't join your mamas."
"But old dada left. Mamas are looking for a new one and, and, and that said they don't want the green dada." The little girl stumbled over her words.
This time the red lamia shushed the child and pulled it out of Sapphires arms.
Sapphire gave them a sympathetic look as the little one refused to sit still just as the tram stopped. This time Sapphire did indicate for us to get off so we all moved as one and I gave the lamia group one last wave as we passed.
It didn't take long for the girls to snicker at the interaction as we were pulled back into the crowds.
"It's okay new daddy we'll keep you safe." Quimaru said trying not to laugh too loudly.
"I'll have you really calling me daddy if you keep that up." I fired back.
"Ooow kinky. I'll hold you too that." Quimaru called back.
"I feel like you're going to be trouble. Is there such a thing as bondage out here?" I asked the other two as Quimaru gave me a quizzical look.
"Enough! We're here." Sapphire interrupted as we came across a smaller building nestled in amongst the larger skyscrapers. Or were they space scrapers?
I still couldn't read the words but the picture in the window was unmistakable. Sapphires first date was a massage parlor.
