Simone chuckled for once, “Being jealous is natural but I wish I hadn’t been the one to cause it.” She kissed his neck softly. Finally, he turned to her and they kissed, “Lewis, it’s natural. You are still really young. I’m your first lover right? Jealousy is almost an unwritten rule. We’re finding boundaries and what you are comfortable with. You are only mortal…” She pushed her fingers through his hair and smiled.

She put her forehead to his and hummed softly. It was abrupt when she stopped and looked up at him. “I would spend forever with you if you asked me to,” her voice was soft and sweet if only for him. “You have a deal and yes that will suffice and make me feel better,” she said before kissing him back.

“Now, I have you all to myself~” She dragged him off to the bed. “I think you earned yourself a nice little reward… I don’t know when the next time I’m going to see you is after you leave…”

“Of course you’re the business,” Lewis said as Rhenakos made himself scarce and exited the room. He was still in shock, and wasn’t entirely sure how to take everything. He shook his head as the door shut behind him, leaving Lewis and Simone alone.

Lewis was quiet for a moment as Simone spoke. She wasn’t wrong, and it was impossible to deny the feelings he had, despite the fact that the resonance was telling him everything she was doing for Rhenakos was a lie. If anything, it made him feel almost guilty that he couldn’t trust her even when it was in his face, and that wasn’t the case.

“I hate irrational emotions,” Lewis said finally, sighing leaning still into Simone. “It’s my fault for letting them get in the way….” He turned around and locked his hands with hers, kissing her. “I don’t…think you have to make up for anything.” He nuzzled her, and closed his eyes, just happy to be alone with her for the time being. Soon, he would be gone for gods knew how long, and he wouldn’t be able to be like this.

“I trust you…and I’m sorry,” he said. “But…if you must insist on something, spend the rest of the week with me…I’ll practice more, but on the last day, it’s just you and me. Lewis and Simone…no Lucile.” He kissed her again. “Will that suffice?”

Simone was glad everything was smoothed over. She would have hated to have stained their relationship. As Lewis leaned into her Simone had her gray eyes on Rhenakos. There was a smirk from her as she put her lips against Lewis’s shoulder. “Well, he didn’t know it was you so I would say the disguise is perfect… and he wanted us both so I think I’ve trained you really well.”

There was mischief in those gray eyes that showed now as she watched Rhenakos say he wouldn’t tell a soul. “Am I the business?” She tilted her head and looked up to Lewis. She knew she was but she wanted to hear him say it.

“Bye Rhenakos~,” She said it in that sultry voice but it was fake. It was more so that she was teasing him one last time. “You did really well. I’m proud of you,” Simone kissed Lewis’s ear. “There has to be something I can do to make it up to you though. I could feel you through our resonance and it made me feel horrible.”

Author: Dusk, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 5:18 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Rhenakos was confused. Everything had stopped, and suddenly Simone was helping out Lucile by cleaning her face. At first, he wondered just how messy things had gotten, when he realized the makeup was coming off.

“Okay…” But there was something familiar about Lucile now. Wait. The dress came off, and Lucile was definitely not a woman. The corset next, and Rhenakos was looking at none of than Lewis. I’m sorry. The fuck? He was shocked into silence, which Simone seemed to be enjoying. So finally, he repeated it, this time out loud.

“The…fuck?”

Simone had been speaking to Lewis this entire time, most of which Rhenakos had missed while he was trying to wrap his head around it. Lewis had heard everything, though, and was surprisingly okay with things now, feeling reassured of their relationship. After all, their resonance made it impossible to hide from each other.

“Short version,” Lewis said as he leaned back into Simone, enjoying the feeling of her warm skin against his. “Is that I have to infiltrate a place as a woman. So…pretty much didn’t lie. You were just a good test subject…” The assassin smirked. “So…how did I do?” This was more of him being an ass than it was an actual question.

“I…grabbed you…” Rhenakos said as he slouched. “And…I definitely can’t remember…but didn’t I make out with you?”

Lewis shrugged, “What if you did? I’m pretty sure no one will ever believe you…” He tossed the knife in the air and caught it. “Besides…you won’t talk about this anyway, will you?”

Rhenakos shook his head. “Not a soul…”

“Good,” Lewis said as he pointed to the door. “Now…get out. I’ve got……business to attend to.”

Author: Simone, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 5:03 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Simone looked at Rhenakos a little bored but got up though her legs were shaky. She got a handkerchief and started to mess with Lucile’s face before pulling off the dress and letting the corset fall. The very last thing she did was undo Lewis’s hair. She went behind Lewis and kissed his shoulder before looking at Rhenakos. “I’m not into women~ Lewis was here the whole time with me Rhenakos.”

There were a few moments of shock and Simone looked amused, “He won’t let me be used as bait anymore so I thought I could teach him the way. It was fun wasn’t it Lewis?” She kissed Lewis’s neck. “I honestly didn’t think you would get jealous though so I thought I would include you and show you that there was nothing to worry about. You are all I actually want after all.” She said it in a sweet voice and the resonance conveyed how sincere it was.

Now that he knew she was a good actress it meant that she had to keep the resonance link open at all times for him to trust her. At least she hoped he would trust her. “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. You know I hate losing.”

It wasn’t a hard choice when Lucile was given the knife, and he was more than in the mood even with pretty much being on top of that idiot. He cut through the dress and corset with ease, exposing Simone, and took full advantage of where he was. With Simone enjoying herself, and showing it through both resonance and her actions, Lucile was content to let her do whatever with Rhenakos for the time being…after all, she was letting him know that Rhenakos meant nothing….

Of course, this was all about to come to an end, as Simone pulled Lucile up for another forceful kiss. As she asked if he wanted a turn, he couldn’t help but smirk.

Rhenakos looked with a smile, “If it’s being offered….”

“Nobody was asking you,” Lucile said as he pulled the knife under Rhen’s throat. “After all…I’ve already won. I’m supposed to kill the target, right? There…target dead…” He nicked Rhen’s neck. “You can go now…”

Rhenakos looked confused, “What…you’re gonna go this far and then kick me out?” He glared at Simone and Lucile. “I didn’t think you swung that way, Simone…Lewis know you’re into women too? Lucky bastard…”

Author: Simone, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 4:32 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

This was perhaps why she had hidden the feelings she had when they had killed her betrayers. She could feel him reacting to her emotions and she almost cut him off. That would take concentration though and she couldn’t let that happen which meant Lewis was feeling her weakness. That stung a bit but they were married he was supposed to know both, wasn’t he?

There was a chuckle from Simone that came across as cute as she watched Lucile. “For being such a good test subject I think you deserve a show~ What do you think Lucile?” There was that mischievous smile again from her as she handed her dagger to Lucile. “Go ahead, you can cut my dress if you want~ Corset to. I’m not overly shy.”

She could feel Lewis and how he was feeling about it. It didn’t take long at all but Simone was very careful to make sure what Lewis did and didn’t do. She didn’t want him to reveal his surprise. Everything between them was more oral than anything. More Lucile on Simone. Simone was laying and sitting on Rhenakos for most of it.

Rhenakos had even joined in a bit groping Simone’s chest and ‘helping’. Simone was reacting but it was towards Lewis which she made sure the resonance link told him. Pulling the fully dressed Lucile to her Simone kissed him and seemed more content. “Do you want a turn?” It sounded more directed towards Rhenakos but it was to Lucile.

Author: Dusk, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 3:53 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Lewis wasn’t going to argue that he was feeling a bit dejected when it came to the whole thing. It was hard for him to swallow what was happening, but as Simone spoke he felt the resonance between them change into something more tragic and heartbreaking. It could easily have been described as a perfect lie. A walking contradiction, showing how much she could give while simultaneously being revolted by giving it. And it was all for survival. This gave him a different view on how he saw the world, and how he interpreted the people that he had saved all those years ago when he and Xeik had run together.

Memories of the times they had rescued children and women of all ages from these dens, how sometimes they never truly recovered. For as many as they saved from that life, half went back to it on their own terms, unable to do anything else but use what they had learned to survive. And of course, the few who could not live with what had been done to them…

Those were perhaps the most tragic. Lewis barely understood it, but he remembered the pained look on Xeik’s face when someone they worked so hard to rescue turned around and jumped from Hoja. And it was because of Simone, the feelings she was suppressing and hiding, of all the things he remembered from her dreams and nightmares, and what he was experiencing now that he underwood finally just what she had gone through.

Simone’s click of her tongue brought Lucile back to reality, and he saw her get up from Rhenakos’ lap. Both he and Rhen seemed a bit confused, with Rhenakos looking a little more than disappointed at being cut off. As Simone moved closer to Lucile, and spoke, he almost asked her what she was talking about before she forced herself onto him, kissing him deeply.

There was more shock and surprise than anything, but he couldn’t help but feel that Simone was trying to make him feel better. While it was appreciated, he wasn’t entirely sure how to take this, as if this was a lesson, he wasn’t sure how well he’d retain it at this point. But she was gently, and pulled him over to the couch, putting Rhenakos between them before taking the time to kiss him again.

Rhenakos didn’t need to answer the question, he was obviously enjoying what was happening overtop him, and even took a moment to cop a feel on both Lucile and Simone’s asses. Lucile fell forward a bit, once again his hand ending up on Rhenakos’ thigh, but he wasn’t gentle this time. A cross of annoyance and frustration shot through him, and he squeezed hard.

“You’re a little feisty too, aren’t you?” Rhenakos asked with a smirk. “Just remember that not everyone likes that…”

“But you do, don’t you?” Lucile asked with a forced, devious smile. He turned his attention back to Simone, and kissed her again, mimicking her grabs, playing around just enough to tantalize.

Author: Simone, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 1:26 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Simone could tell that she had drawn Rhenakos in. He had been a teacher up till that point. There was an amused feeling coming from Simone. “I’m merely teaching to the best of my ability. How can she learn if she doesn’t see what it takes? I don’t play with things like these. These were skills that kept me alive and they saved me many nights of abuse and rape.” Her voice never lost that tone despite the deep sadness she was emitting through the resonance link. She was hiding it. She was hiding how she was feeling and that perhaps was one of the best lessons she could teach Lewis.

There a clink of Simone’s tongue as she put her finger to Rhenakos’s lips. “You’ve had enough I think. Any more and I think you’ll explode,” she teased him lightly before taking herself off his lap and approached Lucile. There was more than one way to play this game. “You can break anyone with simple things. You can lie to them and tell them exactly what they want to hear. Getting someone to let their guard down is the complete aim of it isn’t it?”

Her gray eyes looked directly into Lucile’s. “So, what else would work… If they have another female for example?” She grabbed Lucile harshly and kissed him parting his lips and making it very obvious to Rhenakos what was going on. “See? Just like that.” She had noticed how he was feeling and she was attempting to make it better.

She took Lucile’s hand and dragged him forward over to Rhenakos. She was easy and gentle never letting her eyes leave him. “Intimacy makes one weak in the knees depending on how enthralled they.” She putting Lucile onto the couch they were on either side of Rhen now. Pulling Lucile back she kissed him again letting herself get a bit grabby with him but not enough to reveal that Lucile was Lewis. “Does Rhenakos like this?”

Author: Dusk, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 1:14 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

The fact that Simone took complete control of the situation in seconds flat pretty much had Lewis beat. It wasn’t that he wanted to admit defeat, but the fact was that Simone was taking it much farther than Lewis ever could or even would, especially with Rhenakos. That, coupled with the fact that he was feeling almost a little hurt made him back off for a moment.

Rhenakos, however, had changed his entire attitude. The joking was gone, and the joyful attitude had dropped. His eyes were completely focused, and there was a sly smile spread across his face. His voice took a deeper, huskier tone when he spoke, and it was more than clear that he was in to whatever Simone was doing.

“Now now,” he breathed, noting that he was so close to her, his face mere inches away from hers. “If you play like this, she’s not gonna learn much. It’s hardly fair…” Like he really cared. He was definitely living for the moment. Even if this was a teaching experience, he wasn’t about to let an opportunity like this go. “If you’re not careful, you’re going to show how a woman should be fucked too if you keep this up…”

Lucile wasn’t sure what to do, and merely continued to stay back at a distance, and waited. With or without resonance, he wasn’t entirely sure how to handle any of it. Perhaps, he was out of his depth anyway. Maybe he should have let Simone go. The assassin sighed mentally. I could just kill him…he’s let every part of his guard down…it wouldn’t take much.

Author: Simone, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 1:01 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Simone noticed Rhenakos’s eyes and tilted she slapped the side of Rhenakos’s face lightly as she pulled away. Taking the berry out she pressed it against his lips as she bit at her lip, “You know, you make a woman feel awfully rejected when you don’t pay attention to her Rhenakos.” The way she said it was sultry even for Simone. It didn’t sound fake and nothing she did looked it, she was seasoned. She was a survivor and she learned fast.

Lewis got the cutest giggle out of Simone when he stumbled. She was getting a feeling from Lewis. That feeling like he couldn’t lose and she realized what he was doing. The feeling was absolutely mutual and even though her face didn’t read it Lewis could feel the mischievousness from her. She didn’t like to lose that much was for sure. She would tie but she would never lose if she could help it.

“Hey Rhenakos,” Simone used her singing voice to draw him back into her. “What is your favorite part of a female?” She tilted her head at him and it was cute compared to the act she was putting up. Her hands freed itself of the berry and she felt his chest. It wasn’t a rough feeling as her hands were delicate but she fingered the button of his shirt before popping it literally off the shirt. It had been easy with how long her nails were. “Whoops~ How about I give you one of mine as payback?”

Her hips moved forward just a little so she could give herself leverage and popped her the top button of her own dress. She took Rhenakos’s free hand and placed the button in it before letting that hand run up his arm, neck, and finally cupping his face. She settled herself back down on his lap and looked towards Lucile. “Some men like a little violence. Some find it sexy when their women aren’t really all that submissive but some like submissive. If you were to act dominate for example…” She took the dagger out and spun it on her finger. “Guess it will be part of the lesson after all,” her gray eyes stared deeply into Rhenakos’s eyes. “Do you trust me Rhenakos?”

She didn’t wait before slowly cutting each of the buttons off his shirt. It was fast, nimble, and downright hot considering she held the dagger out to Rhenakos. “Do you like submissive too?” She did say button for button. Did he get her game? “It all depends on the man. Some can flipflop between the two and others can’t. You can tell how a man is by how he speaks and acts. You can often tell exactly what he wants minutes into meeting him.”

Author: Dusk, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 12:37 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Rhenakos was more than just shocked, he was actually aroused by the whole thing. The fact was that Simone definitely knew what she was doing, and her every move and word was practically spot on. Of course, for Rhenakos, the fact that she had a dagger hidden was a little added bonus, something that attracted him to Osiria as well. Her feeding him was just the cherry on top, and he swore up and down if he moved just an inch he could probably see clear down the front of her shirt.

But he didn’t, and instead put an arm around her waist, acting the part. The hunter bit into the berry, and chewed a bit, looking over to Lucile.

Despite his outward demeanor, Lewis was fuming on the inside. That bastard Rhenakos was enjoying this maybe a bit too much, and at this point he was wondering if Simone was doing this to get a rise out of him. The resonance said otherwise, and he had to go with that, but it was still quite the struggle.

But then it hit Lewis. At once, the jealousy was gone, and instead it was replaced with a strange desire. To win.

“Oh…” Lucile said as she stepped towards Rhenakos and Simone. “I think I have the idea…” He started to pour a drink for Rhenakos, and as he set the pitcher down, accidently knocked a knife off the table. When he bent down to pick it up, he was sure to bend with his butt just exposed enough for Rhenakos to see. On his way up, he “stumbled” a bit, placing his hand on Rhen’s upper thigh for support, his face mere inches away from Rhenakos and Simone.

“Oh dear, sorry sir…” he said with a cute, breathless tone. “It’s still a bit of a learning process…” He smiled and winked. “I’m sure you could teach me quite a few things…” There was a slight rub on the thigh before Lucile stood up, and straightened his dress, tugging it down with a pretend apprehension. “No peaking….”

Author: Simone, Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2020 12:24 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

“Leilah suggested you but I would rather have you than someone I don’t know.” At least if he got too grabby with her she could just backhand him and she wouldn’t feel too bad about it. “And Lewis and I would just fuck instead of doing the lesson~” Just like earlier in the week.

Simone could feel the resonance off of Lewis and she was a bit amused. It had to be because it was Rhenakos. “For now, just watch and learn. Treating a man like a king can earn you a vast majority of favors. Sexual favors are one thing that can save your life but ass-kissing generally works best,” she spoke softly as she went behind Rhenakos her hand ran up his chest before settling them both on shoulders.

Her hands were good as she kneaded and massaged his shoulders. Letting her fingers sometimes stop to run them up his neck before settling and beginning the massage again. “You do have the most gorgeous red hair by the way,” she lightly pulled his hair back so she could look him in the eyes. “And I do have the most fascinating turn on for scars~” her fingertips were light around his eyes. “The stories they have~ It makes a man and a man without scars isn’t much of one… now is he?” She rubbed his neck and moved them up to lightly brush his ears.

Simone leaned down and put her lips to Rhenakos’s ear, “Are you hungry? I could feed you. Personally even.” She blew on his ear and left his side if only for a moment not missing a beat as she came back with a bowl of berries.

Pulling up on her already short dress she had forgotten about the thigh dagger that was snug on her left thigh in a band of what looked like delicate lace, “Just pretend that isn’t there. I forgot about it.” She broke the act only for a moment before straddling herself on Rhenakos’s lap and offering him some of the berries. “There are a variety of different ways to get a man’s attention like sitting on him, feeding him, singing to him, and other things.”

She brought up a strawberry and put it lightly in her lips, “Like this.” She bent over giving a clear shot of her cleavage to Rhenakos and pressed the large strawberry to his lips.

It was difficult to argue against Leilah when she recommended using Rhenakos for the trial, but Lewis almost immediately gagged. Simone gave him a look, which he knew meant he didn't really have a choice when it came down to it, and rolled his eyes, agreeing against his better judgement,

When Leilah asked Rhenakos for help, she gave very few details. When he finally got sat down in front of Simone and this other woman, he sat back, cocking his head to the side. “I mean, she’s cute and all, but…why me? All I gotta do is act like some high class noble? So, grabby and a dick. Got it…” He looked at Lucille up and down. “You did a good job on the outfit, Simone. She’s definitely a looker…”

Lewis did everything in his power not to glare at Rhenakos, and instead gave a timid smile. “Are we….going to do this?” he asked. “It’s a little awkward…just standing here.” He was already pissed off at Rhen, especially with the way Simone was flirting with him. Even with the resonance screaming that it meant nothing, it was taking quite a bit to listen. After all, this what Rhenakos…the idiot who had something to prove.

Rhenakos sat back, kicking his feet up on the table. “Well, let’s go. What are you gonna try first?”

Lucile smiled, and tried to look cute. “Well…I…uh….” He was so uncomfortable, and was looking for Simone to lead. This was the part that he lacked the most experience in.

Author: Simone, Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2020 5:58 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Leilah tilted her head at him, “Why not just let Simone do it… You normally do.”

“He won’t let me because of the kidnapping,” Simone sighed a bit and smiled at Leilah. “He cares.”

“Oh! That’s wonderful,” Leilah looked pleased as if she didn’t expect that of Lewis. “Why not Lucile though? It’s close enough to Lewis… Also, why not use Rhen? He isn’t doing anything just don’t tell him that’s Lewis. I think you look fantastic. You know Simone she is a perfectionist.”

Simone just glared at Leilah for a moment and sighed, “I just want it right.”

“That’s the same thing.” Leilah smiled. “Let me get Rhen. You go by Lucile don’t tell him you are Lewis and he will do it no problem!”

Leilah skipped off into the portal and found Rhenakos, “Can you do me a favor. I’ll watch Izzy for you so you have Os all to yourself this weekend if you do one tinnnyy thing for meeee~ Simone is teaching a friend how to seduce men… Can you be her test subject? I heard she might even be demonstrating~”

Once Rhen was at the house Simone had changed into her sundress again and shoved Rhenakos into a chair up in their bedroom with few words, “Thank you for being my test subject, Rhen.” She said it cheerfully. “This is Lucile. She’s boarding at the house right now and we’re going to use her to infiltrate a place since Lewis won’t let me go. Be nice to her okay~” Simone dragged her finger across Rhen’s chin slowly and booped his nose.

Lewis listened to the explanation to the best of his ability, but as usual he struggled to follow the more complicated explanations about dryads and nymphs. What it came down to was the fact that a tree was pregnant, and it didn’t really matter in the long run to Lewis. He had other things to worry about. Like Leilah. Asking questions.

Lewis sighed internally, but smiled and held up two fingers. “Aren’t I cute?” He did a little spin to show off the outfit he was wearing, but as he came around, his face was almost back to normal. “It’s for a job. A rather difficult one, I might add.” He changed again, once more smiling. “What do you think?” For the most part, he had the act down, but every so often he slipped up.

“Well? I need someone else’s opinion that isn’t Simone’s. She’s way too harsh about this.” He sighed, shaking his head. “I’ve been at this for days, and I only have a few more days left before I've got no choice but to take the job.” The entire time, he didn’t let the persona drop. “Also…I need a name…any ideas?”

Author: Simone, Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2020 4:10 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Simone greeted Leilah and let her take center stage. Leilah put her hands where Simone instructed and held the same shocked expression. “Okay, I think I understand now,” Leilah disappeared into their library and dug through some books. Once she found one she was looking through she came back out and stood next to Lewis. “This tree you had moved Simone… Where did they get it?”

“They didn’t say.”

“They must have gotten it from Horae Island… This is a dryad, not a tree,” Leilah explained. “At least it was a dryad. It’s entered its end of life from the move.” There was a sad expression on Simone’s face. “It was their fault for not checking but it looks like she was pregnant! So the good news is the tree will replace its spirit! It won’t be a dryad anymore though from the looks of it.” Leilah was having a hard time explaining it but instead showed Lewis the picture.

“So this is normal?”

“Not exactly, Dryads normally spread by seed but it looks like this one is dying off to give birth to a nymph. They inhabit the trees. Since the dryad isn’t a tree it’s becoming one to keep her child alive. I supposed this was going to happen either way but I’ll check to see if it's healthy if it makes you feel better?”

“Is it in pain?” Simone was wondering if she could feel pain.

“I don’t think so but judging by its expression it’s probable that it’s roots were hurt in the process. It will heal don’t worry about it.” Leilah was checking out the ‘child’. “She is healthy.”

“It’s a girl?”

“All nymphs are girls except for rare occasions,” Leilah expressed. “By the way Lewis… Why are you dressed like a girl?”

Author: Dusk, Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2020 4:01 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

Lewis had been instructed to wear women’s clothes and act like a woman for the duration of the week, and even during this emergency, Lewis kept up the act. Luckily, for the day, he hasn’t wearing the full outfit, and instead was in casual attire, though it was still shorter than he liked, and still gave him deceptive curves where there were none.


When they rushed out to the tree, Lewis was just as shocked as both Simone and the gardener, and hadn’t the slightest idea what to do about it. When Simone told him to get Leilah, he immediately gated over using his ring. Leilah’s reaction to Lewis was one of shock, but the look on his face snapped her out of it immediately, and within moments the woman was on the island, at Simone’s side and looking at the possessed tree.

The assassin was left by himself, his arms crossed. His stance, though ready, still had a slight feminine undertone. It was to be noted that Lewis took his training seriously, and not once did he break the character he was supposed to be portraying. “Well>” he asked in his womanly voice. “What is it then?”

Author: Simone, Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:51 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

There was nothing disappointing about Lewis’s reaction to her and it actually turned her on more to feel him get frustrated at her beforehand. Luckily the staff knew way better than to just interrupt the two of them in the bedroom. It had happened once and only once before knocking and announcing became part of the rules. Luckily there had been no torture play going on so they hadn’t scarred the poor maid.

Simone didn’t bother to strengthen herself out as she pulled herself up onto the vanity for a breather. Her legs were shaking and she leaned against the mirror looking at him. “It stayed put, I’m an experienced remember?” She winked at him and chuckled a bit.

“I think a few more days of working on this and you will have it enough for a live test run,” Simone clapped a bit in appreciation of her student. “It was fun playing the teacher but I am sad I didn’t get to punish you too much.” She was teasing him again but once she was good she pulled herself off the vanity to continue the lessons.

A few days went by and she had Lewis in the library in their regular wear. “Believe it or not these can help a bit. Women are suckers for this shit.” She tossed a few romance novels at him. “Also, some men too.”

One of the gardeners ran into panting and it caused alarm to Simone, “Did something happen? Are the children alright?” Immediately like a switch she was in protective mode.

“One of the trees in the garden… Something is wrong with it.”

“Wrong with it? Is it dying?”

“It’s been possessed! You took care of the pirates look at it,” the gardener was panicking and there was alarm spelled across the resonance link from her to Lewis.

“Let’s go see it then,” Simone followed behind the gardener to the tree. What they found caused Simone to pause. The gardener wouldn’t go any closer but Simone did. The tree was contorting and it had a lump. There was also a face but when she touched the lump she felt something and pulled back. “Lewis, go get Leilah immediately.”

Author: Dusk, Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:43 PM, Post Subject: Another Way [P/R]

The fact that Simone was showing off made it clear that there was a lot to learn that he still didn’t know. It also made it clear that Simone was toying with him, and he was half amused, half annoyed, and fully turned on by it. Her flirty shows combined with her touches pushed him a bit over the edge, and he pulled her over to the vanity, pulling up behind her and taking full advantage of her short sundress.

Perhaps it wasn’t the best time, but perhaps the sex would clear his mind a bit and release the tension from all the training. And he knew Simone didn’t mind. He wondered, though, after the fact, if anyone had walked in what they might think of the two, with both of them wearing a dress.

It didn’t bother him, per say, but it was perhaps a bit risky of them to do. Which was probably why they did it.

“All right…” he said as he straightened the dress out. “Did…the makeup stay? How do I look?” He walked back and forth a bit, showing off what he had retained. The hips were perhaps the hardest part to get. He went over to the bookcase, and tried to mimic what he had seen Simone do, trying to show off what little he had to work with. He did similar things across the room, dropping a book here, bending over there, playing with the hem of the dress, and more.

“How….how am I doing?” he asked, faking a sheepish tone and look, batting his eyelashes.

“Yes, slouching is bad posture and it makes you look bad and not as attractive.” Simone immediately corrected the behavior.

Once Lewis got it Simone chuckled and nodded, “Now you get it. Let me show you though.” This was practically teaching him all of her secrets though and it might get her in trouble if he realized how often she did this to him. She changed into one of his favorite sundresses on her, “Attention to detail is everything. What a man likes and wants, for example, can normally be read like a book unless the person is hard to read like you. In this case, I can read your resonance link with me to see what you like.”

Now, this was the part he would be all too familiar with. “Like when I do this~” She dropped something off the vanity and bent over just in front of him. “Or~ Like this.” She went over to the bookcase in the room and lightly scaled it as the dress pulled up enough to give him a good peek. These were all things that happened on a regular basis and Simone was doing it on purpose.

“You don’t need too much of an exaggerated pose as much as knowing how to twist your body and how to use it.” She took her hand and gently took his face caressing it in the way he liked that caused his hair to stand up on ends. “Knowing how to touch is a big help. You can generally tell from their facial expressions or from the way their hair stands up on their arms.” She held up his arms so he could see.

Lewis tried to soften his voice, which for the first few times he tried, was almost like when his voice broke for the first time. Eventually, he got the tone right, and moved to pitch. “How…how’s this?” It was better than before, but it still lacked finesse. Baby steps, though. This was at least some progress. As he practiced, Simone found him an outfit, dressing him up as if he were some playdoll.

Next came the makeup, which was perhaps harder than it needed to be, if only because Lewis couldn’t sit still. The whole ordeal was truly testing his patience, and it was agonizing just to sit around while Simone messed with his face. Every time he twitched, he felt the corset, and just how compressed his body really was, and it was more than uncomfortable. These next few weeks….

When they looked in the mirror after his makeup was done, Lewis was staring at a complete stranger. The woman reflected in the mirror was cute, and the dress that Simone had chosen was deceptive. Still, there was something…off. Simone remedies it immediately, and pushed on his lower back, forcing him to straighten up.

“Do I-” he started to say in his normal voice. He paused, “Do I really need to be this straight?” he asked in the womanly voice he had been practicing. He grumbled as she gave him a look.

For the next few hours, he was put to work on learning how to be womanly. There were a lot of things that were surprisingly easy to deal with. Walking, eye contact, and a few others were no different than stalking and balance training. It was the talking and seduction that he seemed to struggle the most with. After another failed attempt, Simone tried a different approach.

“It…” he thought for a moment, putting on an over the top pose, his finger at his lip as he looked up to think. Supposedly this pose was ‘cute’, and while Lewis could understand…sort of, he didn’t realize how much effort went in to an appearance. “Dresses like that make me want to take advantage of the short-” The realization hit him.

“Oh,” he gave her a slightly surprised expression. “…So if I…?” He adjusted his stance, bending just slightly so that his “chest” was more pronounced, and his butt was just a little extended, just barely covered by the dress. “Like…this?”

“First, soften your voice if you can make your voice a bit higher. Men like a good sing-song voice. They also like compliments to their ego like Lord Raith only not quite that much. Especially men in power like where you are going. A few good words and purrs in your voice can save your life. I’ve done my fair share of these things to get out of tight situations before even if it didn’t completely work. Edwin saved my life because of that. Working men around my finger have saved me more times than I can count,” she again repeated herself. “It’s a good skill to know when you are going as a lady.”

Getting him into a dress was fine. It was a short little white one with a ruffled top. It almost made Lewis look like he had a bust. This was how the younger Simone managed to get away with hiding how small her breasts were.

She got her makeup out and dolled Lewis up. The next thing he could see was how pretty of a girl he was. “There. You look just as pretty as a noblewoman.” She helped him up and made him stand straight. “No slouching. I’m not going to go easy on you just because you are my husband. You are now my student!”

She gave him military drill after military drill of how to be a lady for the next few hours. How to walk, how to talk, and when to meet eye contact. There were a few minor lessons in seduction too. “For example,” she played with the edges of his dress. “When I wear a dress as short as this one… How does it make you feel?”

With Everett taken care of, Simeone led Lewis to their room, where she proceeded to strip him down. What she brought out next, in any context, could have been considered torture for Lewis. She explained the corset, and told him to suck his breath in. The assassin thought to himself that it couldn’t be that bad, and did as he was told, and immediately regretted it. As she tightened the corset, he wondered if it was possible to die from his lungs being crushed by the infernal device, and he almost asked her to take it off.

But then she’ll just use that as an excuse to go… Begrudgingly, he willed the crushing agony away, and straightened up. Still, seeing himself in the mirror, he couldn’t deny the immediate effect it had on his…shape. He grimaced as he tried to take a quick breath. What a fucking pain…

Next was the hair, and somehow Simone worked some demonic magic with his hair, and by the end of it he already barely recognized himself. Perhaps it was some form of luck that he had fairly soft features, despite his job of choice.

“Okay…” he said as she told him he needed to work on his mannerisms and seduction. “You…want me to…seduce someone? How exactly is that going to work?” There was little tact in his voice, and it was perhaps the lowest, grumbly voice he could have used.

How very unladylike. Simone definitely had her work cut out for her.

Simone chuckled at him as he gave in, “Now you are seeing things my way. Not the way I want but it’s good enough.”

She put her hands on her hips, “It will take more than that I promise you.” She would have to make him the best woman that he could be in a week. She sucked some air in. “Alright, alright. I can have you being a proper woman in a week.”

Letting the nanny know she was taking Lewis away she watched as Everett was met with the familiar face of a woman who took care of them when they were on a job. Once she knew everything was alright she took Lewis upstairs and got him dressed.

“Alright,” she closed the door and began to strip him down. “You might not like this at all.” Getting a corset out she put it around him as getting him into one of her blouses. It was just a tad too big but for now, it would work. “First thing is first… Suck it in.” She put the corset around him and pulled tight on the strings and tight it was. She tied it tight and looked at him in the mirror. “Corsets suck which why I never wear them when it’s just us only when we do trips to the mainland. Or for sex… but that’s different it doesn’t have to be quite as tight.”

She put a ribbon in her mouth as she sat him down in front of her vanity. “I’m going to do your hair,” she spoke easily enough having mastered it thanks to having daughters with long hair. She was quick to figure out something with his messy locks and she used the ribbon as a final piece.

“You’ll need to practice your manners and your curtsies. However, the hardest part will be seducing your way in. It’s going to be your best weapon Lewis and that means I have to teach you how to do it. Right now they would figure out you’re a man right away.”

Lewis crossed his arms, a scowl forming across his face. “That’s the only other option?” He closed his eyes, running down multiple ideas in his head. None of them would work. Each time he crossed one off, his annoyance at the situation only grew. Finally, he abandoned the mental list and let out a harsh sigh. She was right. There were only two options. And one of them was absolutely a no-go from Lewis, which meant…

“Fine,” he muttered, looking to the side, his face flushed. “Fine!” Lewis looked at Simone with a glare. “You’re enjoying this too much…” He shifted uncomfortably as she mentioned dresses and how cute he would look. Not once had he ever thought he could end up in this kind of situation, and he was sure that Simone would get years of laughter and stories out of this once they came through the end of it.

“It shouldn’t be too difficult,” he said more to himself than to Simone. “Just throw on some frilly clothes, act dainty for a bit, and I’m in, right?” The fact that he was underestimating this made it all more clear just how much training he would need. “All right then, Simone…” He crossed his arms. “I have till the end of the month before they move locations based on my intel. I want to be done in a week…when do we start? What do I need to do?”

Simone held a serious frown, “Lewis, I only let myself get kidnapped be–” She stopped herself before she got angry. There was no point in trying to get him to understand. He was too frustrated for her to get through but also he probably didn’t want to see her hurt again. She let out a calm breath as she focused herself letting the anger she felt wash over her and filling it with a calming sensation. She forced that calm through the resonance link only a little. Her eyes had softened and she relaxed. “I know you aren’t just going to let me go. I get it but I’m not weak Lewis. I just wanted to say that much.” Still, because he loved her he wasn’t about to let her get hurt for no reason.

Giving him a listening ear her eyes were glued to Everett. He was sitting on a blanket laughing at a butterfly. It made her smile but she still didn’t like the conversation too much. “If you aren’t going to let me go then you’ll just have to pretend to be a woman. I would say use Kalina but she doesn’t have the resonance with you. With us, there has always been the advantage of you being able to see through my eyes and hear what I hear. I don’t think Raile would let Kalina anyways not that he has much of a say with her.”

Crossing her arms she looked Lewis over, “You would make a pretty girl. I have dresses that can hide a flat chest. A few lessons on how to be a lady and I think you would be fine… Or you could just let me go.” She was stubborn and up for bringing it up again. Though it didn't look like her words had much of a fight. She was giving him his options. His only two options.

“This job isn’t just any normal job,” Lewis said as he shook his head at Simone’s suggestion. “I can’t let you go. It’s too dangerous. Not after what happened.” This was it. Their first real ‘argument.’ And to call it one was almost giving it too much credit. It had been only a few days since he had met with the new client, a wealthy, eccentric man with a request. He said his daughter had been kidnapped by a wealthy connoisseur of women, but he lacked the proof.

Lewis’ task was simple. Infiltrate, look for clues on the whereabouts of the daughter, and if he found that this was an actual abduction operation, silence anyone involved. It was a little more work than he was used to, but the pay was well beyond a normal job, and at the rate that Simone was going with the island alterations, they would probably need the coin. So, he accepted the job. Unfortunately, after his first recon of the site, he found no real way to get in.

Simone had suggested she go in Lewis’ stead, and give him an opening. The assassin shot that idea down in an instant.

“Which brings me to my next point,” Lewis said as he crossed his arms. They had taken themselves to the garden to continue the discussion, where Everett was playing. He seemed to be enjoying himself, but Lewis kept a watchful eye with Simone in case he took off somewhere.

“I need to find a way in.” He closed his eyes. There were very few openings. He could possibly risk it and try to take out a guard, but the way that they had their operation meant that even a single missing guard would be reported within five minutes. From other sources, he knew that the whole team could just up and move at a moment's notice, which meant catching them by surprise was almost impossible.

“What else can we do?”
