“When do we leave?” Elly grinned.

Ven checked her watch. “Our ride will be here in two hours, and a change of clothes is needed.”

“What? I have just been wearing this for a few days.” She chuckled.

“You have been washing it out?”

“They drip-dry really well.” She ran her hands down her skirt. “I thought that Nova was around here?”

“She and Mort are having a honeymoon. He locked her down right away. I think they went to see the Mariana Trench.” Ven smiled. “When they get back, they are going to be our household bodyguards, with occasional jaunts into the sea to find foundering boats.”

“Gia and Amelia?”

“Already in the city and practicing.”

“Huh. I missed a bit.”

Ven grinned and shrugged. “You were busy.”

“How do you deal with... more than one?”

“Oh. That. Well, with Syar, there’s a lot of lube, and with Reynaldo, he uses that to his advantage. There is one thing they do that your guys won’t, so no need to worry about that. Basically, just relax. Why? You think they are going to double-team you right away?”

“Oh. No. It’s just Mano is doubled up, so I am guessing that they either go in one at a time or both at the same time. I am hoping lube is a factor.”

“Seriously? Like a shark?”

“Very much like a shark, but one in front of the other, not side by side.”

“Wow. That’s... going to be tricky.”

Elly shrugged. “Well, that is a worry for another day. As in, tomorrow.”

Ven laughed. “Maybe they will be tired after the concert. Syar has high hopes of the charity benefiting.”

“What charity?”

“Oh, Syar puts on some kind of event for the kids on the island to go to the mainland to museums and a scholarship program for the folks who are near graduation.” She smiled. “They only have a marine biology course here.”

Elly chuckled. “Makes sense. I think vulcanology would also be an option. Is that a thing?”

“I think it is a side subject of geology.”

“Hm.” Elly chuckled. “Maybe I should get some work done before we head out.”

She got her notebook and sat curled up in the great room on a couch. She kept flipping pages until Ven came to her with a new outfit and pried the notebook out of her hands. She whined and pouted as she was bullied into the nursery to change. Elly emerged a few minutes later in heels, a glittery skirt that was a wrap ending at mid-thigh, and a halter top that barely covered what was necessary.

She walked out and looked at Ven in a similar outfit. “Are we going toda club?”

Ven laughed. “Well, it’s going to be a fun night, and I get to spend it crawling all over my mates and getting Reynaldo to purr.”

“How close am I going to be to you?”

“Well, I have the royal box... no jokes. You have a backstage pass. VIP. You may get to hang out with the band.”

Ven dangled a lanyard from her fingers and handed it to Elly. “We have to get to the city.”

“Wait, so you dress me up like a horny groupie and then dangle me in front of them?”
