Kate had an address and instructions on where to find him. "Stay right and park at the boat launch," Kate repeated to herself. She was kind of hoping that he didn't have one of those tiny little boats. She had found him mostly by accident. Though what he wanted for payment was what had gotten her to agree to use him.
Kate drove her jeep into a parking lot and then drove up over the curb, onto the walkway, and headed toward water. She had obviously made a wrong turn somewhere. However, coming round the corner she spotted the boat launch. How it was reached no longer mattered; she was here.
Kate drove right down onto the boat launch but didn't see a boat. He knew she had a Jeep Wrangler to watch out for. Parking, she looked around and saw someone on a dock to her right waving an arm.
The entire area was still a mess thanks to the Category 3 hurricane that had just blown through. Most everyone but her – and apparently him – had listened to the evacuation orders. Which was a good thing. It meant no one was in the area.
Kate got out, picked up all her stuff, and walked around, down the dock. He didn't have a boat. He had a Seaplane. At least she was suspecting seaplane. It was sitting on water, tied to the dock, and it had wings.
"Mr. Castle?" She didn't even have a picture of him. She was in such a hurry she hadn't done the research she should have.
"Ms. Beckett. Glad you could make it. Riding out a hurricane was not something I recommend," Rick said.
"Neither do I." Kate walked up to him. "Seaplane." Kate looked it over. It had two large and long pontoons. The wings were attached to the pontoons. It had a twin tail, a fair sized fuselage, and a motor at the back. The propellers had this shroud around them. It wasn't big but she didn't need a lot.
"My baby. State of the art. It's a prototype that isn't in production yet. It gets really good fuel mileage, however. Where you want to go we can reach and come back again if we have to," Rick told her.
"Let's hope that isn't necessary." She had no plans to come back here ever again. In fact she wasn't far away. "Your first payment of three." Kate handed the sword over to him.
Rick's smile lit up his face and took it. He had done some research on where she wanted to go and was thinking he knew what she was looking for. If they found it he was thinking of going with her. Staying here might be a very bad idea.
"Thank you." Rick pulled the sword out of the scabbard to look it over. It appeared to be in perfect shape. "Follow me, walk where I walk or you might put a hole in the pontoon," Rick cautioned her. He walked to the door and opened it.
"Bags?" Rick reached out to take her large backpack and her bag and stowed it inside. "Anything else?"
"Just this. It holds your other two payments." Kate handed it over and watched it go inside.
"Ladies first." Rick let her step inside.
It was just about as small as she thought. However, she found a surprise inside. "Hello." There was a child sitting in a seat. She was a little on the pale side and had long orange hair.
"Hi! You're pretty." Alexis liked her already.
"Thank you. You're very pretty too." Kate chose a seat, sat down, and turned to look at Mr. Castle.
"Ms Beckett, meet my daughter, Alexis. She's coming with us." Rick got in and closed the door. "Follow me if you like." He moved forward and sat down and watched her take the seat next to him.
"You didn't say anything about a child," Kate whispered.
"Let me worry about her. She's all that I have left of my family and she's the light of my life. If this works out she'll get to live to see the future. …Not sure how many of us can say that." Rick knew it sounded depressing. It was just that life or the future was depressing to think about.
"I have no objection. You know where we're going?" Kate wanted to confirm it.
Rick nodded. "Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas. Twenty-seven seaside rooms and suites tucked in bougainvillea-draped cottages, bungalows, and peak-roofed Balinese beach houses.
"All of them have full kitchens. The Great House, The Grove, Monkey Bar, or Tiki Beach & Beach Club. It should have more than enough food for the three of us. Plus, I know how to cook.
"My research tells me that the island was evacuated in a hurry. More than likely the guests didn't even get to take their suitcases so more than enough clothes to choose from.
"With what's coming they and the staff won't be going back. Not a lot of future out there." For a moment there was an annoyed look on his face. "Sorry, I forgot to untie us. It's a good thing it's screwed on or it would come off," Rick joked with her and got her to smile finally. So far she looked very serious.
Rick left, untied them, and came back after giving his plane a little push. He sat down in the pilot's seat and started his engine. He needed to get out of the Marina first before getting airborne.

Both of them were wearing headsets but only to kill the noise and so they could talk to each other mostly. He had no plans to use the radio to talk to anyone. In fact, he had no plans to even get above a hundred feet in order to stay off anyone's radar.
"You're aware of our deal?" Kate needed to make sure. It might sound scary to him.
"I am. You're a Succubus and need me to have sex with you when you require it while you search for this door you want to find," Rick responded. "For a Succubus you're amazingly pretty."
"Thanks and you seem to know a lot." He knew what she wanted to find. Now she wanted to know how he knew so much.
"Research is part of my life. It's how my books read like they were real. So I asked myself why would a beautiful Succubus want to go to an abandoned island? One that's full of cabins for guests. The contractor had to have searched that entire island before starting construction.
"Bahamian mariners raided passing illegal slave ships and liberated Africans. However, Britain and Spain were in dispute over ownership of the islands and neither took kindly to this action. So they had to hide them. Just where do you hide men and women on an island that's all sand?" Rick looked over at her. "So you're hoping he missed something or you have something that will point you in the right direction."
"Interesting." He clearly knew a lot. "You wanted a Defender Sword as part of your payment yet the back of this plane is full of stuff. You must have twice what I have. Who are you exactly, Mr. Castle?" Kate questioned him.
"You can call me Rick or just Castle. I finished high school and promptly got thrown out of my first and second colleges. Boarding school. The last one was the worst. I was an angry young man and got myself into trouble.
"My lawyer made a deal with the judge. I either spend the next four years in jail or I join the military. I didn't want to be someone's Bitch, so I chose military. I chose the Army. It changed the direction of my life. I ended up being Airborne.
"Never saw any live fire action but I'm well trained since you never stop training and that includes jumping. Something went wrong and my very last jump had me and everyone else blown to hell. We were spread far and wide.
"I didn't quite land. I hit a tree and a branch went into my leg. I was hung up and couldn't reach it. I was bleeding to death, unconscious by the time they found me. They fixed my leg but I couldn't qualify after that, so I was discharged.
"I took up writing. Met Alexis's mother, got her pregnant evidently. I used a condom each and every time, and from what I could see none of them ever busted. She didn't want the baby but I did. Meredith was gone and I had a baby to raise.
"My books actually did pretty well. Made myself a few million. Gave my little girl the best life I could. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her." That was his life in a nutshell.
"So she might not be yours?" Kate queried.
"Perhaps not biologically but make no mistake, she is mine, Ms. Beckett," Rick told her.
"Is she okay back there?" Kate shifted in her seat to look at her and the little girl seemed busy.
"Alexis is fine. She has an entire bag filled with picture books, coloring books, crayons, markers, and another bag full of snacks and juice drinks. I got her into the restroom before I flew to there, so she should be good." He would look but he was flying. Autopilot at this altitude was not something he could do.
"I love her hair." Orange was so unusual for her.
"My mother had red hair, her mother had red hair so orange isn't that unusual. So, tell me why you want this door so badly?" Rick questioned her. "I couldn't find out much about that space."
"If I'm right it's a door that will lead me to the Infinite Staircase or Celestial Staircase or the Celestial Stairway. It's a network of pathways linking the Realms with the Planes. Granting the traveler access to nearly anyplace you can think of. Alternate Universes. Parallel Universes are possible. With what's about to happen to this planet I wanted to be somewhere else.
"Everything I have is in preparation for traveling the Staircase. Perhaps I'll go through a door and stay, or maybe not. My only concern is finding the Cum I need to stay alive." It truly was her only concern.
"If you find this door I might let you talk me into going with you. I'm well-trained and plan on being well-armed. We stay together and I can continue our deal," Rick told her.
"And Alexis?" She was just a little girl. She was guessing something like five or six years old.
"Like I said, you let me worry about her. I have what I need for both of us and I'm hoping one of those objects I asked for as payment is what I think it is," Rick said.
"I'll think about it. What I don't know much about is what's actually on this Staircase. From what I can find on it, it's literally limitless. It has no bottom and no top. It goes on forever so anyone could be on this staircase," Kate advised him.
"As I said before, I'm well-trained and plan on being well-armed. I noticed you brought a sword as well," Rick observed.
"It's an heirloom. Been in the family for generations. It's called a Moon Blade. It's quite powerful. So why did you want that sword?" Kate questioned him since she didn't know much about it.
"Defender Sword. Highly offensive or very defensive," Rick revealed. "Just what I need if you let us join you."
"Interesting." Surprisingly, letting him come didn't sound so bad. She needed Cum and while she looked for this door she was going to need to have sex with him to get what she needed. If he came she could keep having sex with him. She just had to think about Alexis.

They had landed and Rick had coasted in until he beached the plane. She watched Alexis play in the water on her way to the beach and it made her smile. She seemed like a happy child. Kate was unloading and watched Rick pull a rope deep into the beach where he pounded a rod into the sand and attached the rope to it.
She made her way to the Great House first. She would choose a Villa to stay in later. Kate dropped her stuff and looked around. "Hi, we gonna live here?" Alexis had caught up to her.
"Yes, we are. You and daddy have twenty-seven different places to choose from to call home." Kate needed to do that as well but first she wanted to search this building.
Rick was overloaded with bags and that was only half of what he'd brought with him. "Come on, Pumpkin," Rick called. "Let's find us a place to live. You can talk to Kate after we unpack a little." And together they went looking.
"How about this one? I think it's called Mahogany." It was one of the ones that wasn't on stilts. However, it was seven steps up to the floor. It had two bedrooms so Alexis got her own bedroom again.
"Come over here, Pumpkin. Let's get you into a swimsuit and put on some sunscreen." Out here she was going to get burnt if he wasn't careful.
"All done, so be careful. And stay out of the water! I still have to unload the plane." If he got his way he wouldn't need it any longer. Rick kissed her head and let her run where she wanted to on land.

Kate had searched the Great House to her satisfaction and decided to take the building right next to theirs. She needed his Cum so she might was well be close. She didn't feel the need to unpack all that much so she was standing out front and was watching Rick unloading the plane. This trip looked like all weapons.
She wasn't well-versed in weapons but he had a few of them. So she followed him to find out just what he was thinking with all those.

Three days later
"Alexis is asleep." Rick entered Kate's residence. "She shouldn't hear a thing."
"I only need you to be inside me and give me your Cum." It could be quick and over with in no time. She didn't need to be a bother.
He raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, that doesn't work for me. You want what I have then we do it my way," Rick informed her. Then he kissed her followed by walking his arms around her and kept kissing her all the while.
Little by little her clothes came off. Kate was too stunned to take his clothes off. He wasn't planning to fuck her. Well, maybe he was, but that wasn't what he was doing now.
Once she was finally naked she shifted into her Succubus form and watched as he stopped what he was doing and gazed at her. "I don't know what those other guys did, but they're missing out on something. You're gorgeous. The horns might be a bit much but I can adapt. Really like those wings though."
Kate was still in shock a bit. She thought her best attribute was her breasts. They were nice and big and didn't have any sign of sagging. Nice big nipples that last she knew were very sensitive.
She soon found out just how sensitive her nipples still were.
» Ж «
Kate was lying there and turned on her side to look at him. He was sleeping. Kate reached out to run a finger down his cheek. He had done what no one had done in far too long.
He had paid attention to her breasts. Kissed his way down her body to find her pussy pumping out juices because she was so damn horny by then. He had proceeded to do what no one had done for even far longer. He had eaten her pussy. She had climaxed and gushed out her climax for him to taste.
He had kissed his way back up her body till he kissed her and she could taste herself on his lips. Something she couldn't remember ever happening. That was when he had finally fucked her. He had climaxed not once but twice inside her. She had felt it. His Cum was replenishing her body.
Then he'd done the impossible. Well, not technically impossible since he had done it. He had fucked her ass and had climaxed a third time filling her ass with his Cum.
For longer than she cared to think she had given blowjobs, sat on Cocks till they filled her with their Cum. She usually climaxed during this time but not always. He had given her more orgasms in just one night than she'd had in weeks.
He was handsome enough. He was a little muscled. She was guessing his time in the military gave him that. He must have been working out a little to keep it. He wasn't ripped but he didn't have a beer belly either, not like some of her men.
To her Cum was Cum. Men had it and she needed it, so any man would do.
So here she was stroking his cheek and watching him sleep. If he kept this up she began to fear she might get attached. It was just she was a Succubus and he was a human. Anything else was just fantasy.
» Ж «
Kate fell asleep and when she woke up she found Rick, still naked, resting his head on her shoulder and one of his hands was palming her breast covering her nipple.
She actually liked it like that. He was touching her. Then his head moved off of her shoulder and she immediately missed it. "Morning," Rick murmured.
"Morning." She felt his hand on her breast move but that was all.
"Do you need me to fuck you again? Perhaps eat your pussy? Your breasts are big enough I could fuck them," Rick offered.
Kate raised an eyebrow at that last one. Absolutely no one had ever fucked her breasts. She thought she knew how that would work, but had never done it.
"I'm good, thank you," Kate told him. "You didn't have to do all that, you know. I just need your Cum."
"Yes, I did. You're a beautiful woman, human or Succubus. You deserve the best I can offer. We have a deal and I'm going to keep it. You just have to put up with how I keep up my half of the deal. Perhaps next time I'll massage your feet and suck on your big toe followed by kissing and biting my way up your leg and tease your pussy."
Rick grinned at her. "Maybe I can get you to beg me to fuck you."
"OH, MY!" She knew for a fact that had never happened. "Are you trying to spoil me or something?"
"Perhaps. Right now I need to get up and go get Alexis ready for today. Then we can go searching for this door of yours. We only have nine more days. That Coronal Mass Ejection will send this planet into the Stone Age after that.
"It'll fry our batteries and every one of our solar panels will be good for nothing. We'll be in the dark just like the rest of the planet. That's only if one nation doesn't decide to launch all their ICBMs thinking, 'Use them or lose them.' Because they will be useless after they're all fried," Rick told her.
"Is that why you want to come with me? You're afraid of what they might do?" Kate asked him.
"Very afraid," Rick said bluntly. "The United States has a hawk for President. Russia isn't much different. If we're going to be plunged into the Stone Age might as well kill everyone."
"I'll think about it." Kate was noncommittal.
» Ж «
Kate still didn't believe that Rick had brought a shovel. She was guessing that they both thought it was underground. Above ground was all sand. Where on this island was it?
Kate was in the hole taking a breather while watching Rick drink water from his bottle he had brought with him. Kate grinned since even Alexis with her little toy plastic shovel was digging.
"I saw you unload weapons. What did you bring?" She might not understand since besides a Glock, that she did bring with her, and an AR-15, she didn't know much else.
"Let's see. I have a Maxim-9 with a built-in silencer. It's a 9mm semi-automatic. There's a CZ Scorpion Evo Rifle. It uses NATO 9mm and has an integral silencer. Then there's a Fostech Origin 12. It's a 12 gauge shotgun with a 30 round drum. What I don't have is a whole lot of ammunition. I can only carry just so much. I have other things I need to carry. Which is where one of the items I asked for as payment comes in. If it is what I think it is. If it isn't, no big loss," Rick shrugged.
"I didn't get any of that till you said shotgun. So what do you think it is?" Kate asked.
"The bag? If I'm right about it it's larger on the inside than the outside. It may sound like a fantasy and maybe it is. But what I know about it is that it was made so long ago that just maybe magic existed back then. Like I said, if not, no great loss," Rick told her.
"Interesting. You have done research." Kate was impressed. "You can have it. A deal is a deal." Kate could use it but if he came and Alexis came with him, he was going to need it if it worked.
"We need to find your door first. That or we fly somewhere before my plane is fried. The water here requires a pump that will be fried. The refrigerators will die when the batteries get fried. That will leave just canned food.
"I'm not doing that to Alexis," Rick told her.
"The Stairs could be dangerous. The door we go through might lead to danger," Kate cautioned, wondering if she could talk him out of this. Or did she want to?
"A calculated risk. Staying here could be worse. Use your imagination. No more food and everyone has weapons. In my mind the Stairs are a lot safer." Then Rick smiled at her. "Plus, I'll have you. Now, dig?" Rick smiled some more when she started digging. The real problem was where was this stupid door?
» Ж «
It is two days later
They were running low on days left to them to find that blasted door. Kate was in Succubus form, lying on her side again with her head on her hand and looking at Rick. He wasn't asleep this time.
He had kept his promise. He had massaged her foot, then sucked on her toe, followed by kissing and actually biting her leg all the way up till she couldn't take it any longer.
"EAT MY PUSSY!" He had already shown that he knew just how to do that and this time had been no different. While she didn't need his Cum just yet, he had still fucked her twice and climaxed both times.
"We're running out of time here," Kate mentioned while she played with one of his nipples this time.
"Yeah, I know. Our problem is that we're just guessing where to dig. There are so many plants and palm trees that our options are limited. Digging where there's nothing because roots won't grow there," Rick groaned.
"It isn't going to be just a door in the ground. You would think there's some kind of room for it to be in." Rick was trying to think out loud. "What if we're digging in the wrong place? What if the contractor did find it? Found the building but instead of getting rid of it he built over it?
"A lot of these villas are on wood stilts. Which villa is sitting on a concrete building?" Rick questioned her because he already knew the answer.
Kate needed to think. "Indigo Palm, building number 26. We're number 8, so number 26 is about midway in the island. You really think they built on it?" Kate questioned him.
"What would you do if you had this big, thick, concrete box that cost too much to remove? You build on it to raise the building on pilings. Cuts down on the work and saves you money." Rick liked it. "I actually do have a small amount of explosives. Not much but it might be enough to blow a hole in it," he said, all while thinking about it.
"In the morning after you and Alexis have breakfast. First, make love to me again?" Kate watched him smile. She had never had anyone make love to her. She got fucked once and that was it for that encounter.
» Ж «
Alexis was told to stay where they were after eating breakfast so Rick could keep an eye on her and play with her toys. Perhaps dig in the sand or make a Sand Castle.
The island wasn't that big. Mostly because it was narrow and really long. They were on one end and number 26 was pretty much dead center of the island so it felt like a long walk.
"You know what you're doing, right?" Kate asked him as she watched him slap what looked like gray blubber on the wall.
"Airborne," Rick answered. He made sure it wasn't going to fall off, inserted the cap, and walked away to hide behind a tree. "Down, please." Rick saw Kate standing tall and waited for her to duck. Then made sure Alexis hadn't moved and gotten in the way.
"Fire in the hole!" Rick removed the safety and flipped the switch. BOOM! Concrete chunks started landing everywhere which had both of them ducking and covering their heads. Mostly Rick since he was the human of this duo.
Soon they were both standing there looking at the hole he'd made. "Do I know what I'm doing? O ye of little faith," Rick grinned at her as he quoted the Bible.
"I'll apologize if there's a door in there," Kate told him.
"Flashlight." Rick put it in her chest. "Ladies and Succubi first. Especially the beautiful and sexy ones."
Kate gave him a dirty look but deep down she did like being called beautiful and sexy. It didn't hurt when he was a damn good lover.
It was just a hole near the ground and Kate as a human found she was barely squeezing through and finally glad her human breasts were a lot smaller. She was crawling on her belly to get inside this thing. It was easily two or more feet thick and it had these metal bars that she had to bend out of her way.
Now as a human she had less strength than she did as a Succubus, but she was still stronger than the average human female. Kate got on her knees once she was inside and looked around using her flashlight.
Rick was on his belly with his head just inside the hole. "Anything?"
"Nothing. There's no door in here." It was a bust. A good idea, but a bust.
"Don't look for a wood door. If what you've told me about the Stairs is accurate, the Stairs are made out of nearly anything and everything. So maybe the door isn't wood. Look for a hidden door made out of concrete or concrete blocks. Try and find lines in the wall," Rick urged her.
"Oh." Kate was ready to kick herself. Rick wasn't just good in bed, he was smart too.
Kate shuffled across the sandy floor, reached one side, and began searching it.
"I need tools! I may have found something!" Kate yelled at him.
Moments later. "Chisel." Kate heard it being thrown in and landing on the sand. "Hammer." Rick had been prepared for concrete. Rick soon heard her hitting the chisel over and over again.
"Anything?" Rick inquired.
"It looks like a door. I'm going to take my clothes off," Kate told him.
"You need sex now!" Rick teased.
"Keep that up and I'll hurt you next time. I want to change into my Succubus form for more strength," Kate clarified as she took her clothes off. Rick simply grinned since he had gotten her.
» Ж «
However, she was too silent for too long. "KATE! Talk to me," Rick yelled in and suddenly saw her head as she crawled out so he got out of the way. "And?" She was out and sitting on the sand.
"It's a door and I got it open. Wasn't easy. That door is heavy. I found stairs on the other side. One huge, giant spiral staircase going up and down." Kate smiled at him. "There's even a little light."
"WE FOUND IT!"Rick got down on his knees and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her and kept kissing her. "Steak dinner in celebration?" Rick smiled at her. "Followed by me making love to you. I want to hear you scream again." Rick continued to smile at her.
Kate smiled back since he had managed to get her to scream during one of her orgasms. He seemed to have the ability to make her have more than one orgasm. She had gotten so used to having just one while he climaxed and gave her the Cum she needed.
"I'll let you try." Kate grinned at him and kissed him.
» Ж «
They hadn't left yet though they were making plans. Some of it was already in the room with the door. "Do we wait till after it hits us? Just to make sure they're right about it even coming?" Kate questioned him.
Rick argued against it. "If we do wait it should fry all our batteries. Including the ones in the flashlights and the spares. It will fry everything electrical. It'll take years just to make one of those big transformers you see in those electrical power stations and we have hundreds or more of those things all over the planet. We're going to be in the dark for a long, long time.
"Worse, think of all those nuclear power stations. The controls will all be fried. The pumps for cooling will fail. The reactor will get too hot and there won't be any more cool water. It'll melt down and spread radiation far and wide.
"Several times worse than Chernobyl ever was." Rick paused for a long moment then he looked at her. "We go in the morning after breakfast. That will give us cushion of one day, just to be safe."
"You still want to do this? With Alexis?" She was just a little kid.
"I'm absolutely positive. What kind of life is she going to have here? We can't stay here, Kate, and I only have just so much fuel. If I'm already half-right the entire planet is in full-on revolt and rioting everywhere. We lost TV a few days ago. Too far for radio stations.
"I'll defend her with my life if it comes to it. I'll defend yours too. You're my lover. Maybe you don't love me yet but we can work on that. Besides, just where do you plan on getting the Cum you need?" Rick questioned her.
Kate knew he was indeed her lover and yes, she felt herself falling for him. She was falling for a human. Humans were who she used to get Cum from so she could live. Now she had one that was willing to give her his Cum. All she had to do was let him.
"Alright, wait here." She had already given him the sword he had asked for. She had given him his bag that he thought might be bigger on the inside. And it turned out he was right. He had tested it and he'd been able to put a whole lot of stuff inside it. And it weighed only a few pounds at most.
Now she owed him the last of his fee for doing this for her. Yes, she had stolen all of them as a Succubus. Even if they did have cameras, just how were they going to find her? How do you search for a Succubus? Besides, she was a Demon so what did she care about stealing a few items. Including the ones she had stolen for herself.
"Your payment. We are now even." She handed it over and watched as Rick looked at it.
It was just this little piece of bland-colored cloth. It was nothing to her. She had no idea what it was. "What is it or what do you think it is?" She was naturally curious.
"I can't use it again for twenty-four hours but… I think I can risk it. It'll be about sixteen hours when we leave. Ready? If this works like I think it should… ALEXIS!" If he was going to use this later and he was thinking he was, she needed to not get panicked by this.
"Daddy!" Alexis came running into the room and she surprised both of them when she went to Kate and wrapped her arms around her.
"Here goes nothing." Rick placed it on the floor and said a word. All of a sudden they saw this shimmering area that was about five feet wide and ten feet tall. "It's a home. Ladies first." He let Kate enter first and Rick gave Alexis a little nudge.
"WOW!" Kate was walking very slowly as she looked around. There were stairs to an upper level. There was a dining room table that could seat ten easily and the table was filled with food.
"KATE!?" Alexis was scared. She saw these barely-there people all over the place. There were a lot of them. She could kinda see through them but they were wearing clothes. Kate came over, gave Alexis a hug, and stood beside her.
"They won't hurt you, Alexis," Rick soothed her. "Or at least they're not supposed to. According to my research this is a Mansion. Once you enter it the door vanishes from the other side.
"The place is furnished and decorated as I choose. It contains sufficient food to serve a nine-course banquet for up to ten people. A staff of ten near-transparent servants attends all who enter. You decide the visual appearance of these servants and their attire. They are completely obedient to your orders. Each servant can perform any task a normal human servant could perform, but they can't attack or take any action that would directly harm another creature. Thus the servants can fetch things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour wine, and so on.
"It lasts for twenty-four hours and can't be used for another twenty-four hours according to my research. Since they can't find this place from the outside it should be safe for us.
"Supposedly I can create any floor plan I like, but the space can't exceed fifty cubes, each cube being ten feet on each side. The place is furnished and decorated as you choose.
"In this case I thought about bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs for ten people in five bedrooms. Dining, living, there should be a pool on the other side of the stairs. Maybe two next time. One for Alexis that's shallow and one for us.
Kate grinned at him. "What makes you think I own a swimsuit?"
"Skinny dip then. I'll keep my eyes closed," Rick offered.
"Where's the fun it that?" Kate teased him. "You learned about this thing?" She didn't know anything about it.
"I know people and have done a lot of research in my years. I really thought it was all made up but then we contacted each other for this event and I thought what the hell. If it didn't work, it didn't work.
"Looks like it worked." Rick was very pleased.
Alexis looked worriedly at her daddy. "Safe?" The little girl still wasn't so sure.
"Very safe, Pumpkin. Perfectly safe. I got it for you. I had to find a way to keep you safe," Rick told her, trying to ease her fears.
Alexis very cautiously approached the table filled with food; she saw a grape, took it and nibbled it first. Soon she was eating several.
Rick watched Kate walk up to him and wrap her arms. She kissed him."You two can come with me. Just so long as we can make love."
"Five bedrooms," Rick smiled at her. "Supposedly I can change the floor plan each time I use it. So if there's something you want you need to tell me."
"I'll keep that in mind." Kate kissed him again.
"KISS HER, DADDY!" Alexis liked what she was seeing. She liked Kate and Kate and her daddy were kissing. Hearing Alexis had Kate grinning into his mouth while she kept her arms around him. Yes, she liked him.

It had taken work to push and pull everything through that hole. Alexis had no problem at all. What Kate hadn't expected was to see what Rick and even Alexis were wearing. Rick had explained that they were camouflage clothes. They were meant to help blend into the surroundings. They were both dressed in three different grey colors that were a mess and all over the place. But if he was happy… In fact that was all the clothes he had packed. Everything else got left behind.
Kate had everything and was ready. Even Alexis was wearing her kid-size backpack. Rick's backpack was much bigger. He had a hand gun on one leg. His rifle over a shoulder. His sword he had asked for as payment for this was tucked in between his back and his backpack with the hilt sticking up above his shoulder.
Kate was in her Succubus form since they wanted Alexis to get used to seeing her like that. Apparently she wasn't scared. The first thing she had asked Kate was if she could have wings. Evidently, she wanted wings like hers.
"Ready?" She needed to push the door open using her strength. She watched Rick give a short nod. So she looked at Alexis who was next to Rick. She hoped this was a really good idea.
Kate braced herself and pushed and they could hear the door scraping across the floor.
Rick got his first look at the staircase that Kate wanted to reach so badly. It really was rather wide. He definitely wasn't going to be jumping across that gap. Kate might be able to fly across but he didn't have much to get him or Alexis across.
Walking over to the edge he looked down first and it looked to him like it was bottomless just like she had said. Looking up he saw the same thing. The place had light in certain places. It wasn't bright but it wasn't exactly dark either.
"So where do we go?" Rick queried while Kate pushed the door closed again and used chalk to make a mark where she could to show that they had been here already. As far as she knew you walked the stairs. But what if it was more than that?
"That I don't know. I just know this place is literally limitless in each direction. There are more doors than either of us can possibly give a number to. Each one has a landing just like this one.
"Open a door and you might be in LA. Or it could by one of the levels of the Abyss filled with Demons. Could be that planet or any other planet anywhere. Distance is irrelevant. The landing could be small but I read that one has a city on it. People live in here.
"If the area in front of the door is clean it should be a good door. If it's dirty, has spiders and the like, that's more likely to lead to a really bad place. After that I don't know. I don't even know if your Mansion will work in here. We might have to use a doorstep inside to use it. I don't know," Kate told him.
"Okay, so pick one. Up or down?" Rick asked her. "That's all we have to work with."
Kate looked at Alexis. If it was just her by herself, she might go up. But Alexis needed to go down. She was only a child and didn't have her strength. Plus, down meant they could see who was coming up, if anyone.
"Down," Kate decided. "Alexis follows me and you watch our back to see if anyone's coming down to us."
"Good thinking. Go with Kate, Pumpkin. I'll be right behind you." Rick got her moving.

So far it was just them and they were eight doors later. Six of them had been been dirty, dark, and ugly so Kate had walked right past them.
This door was similar to others but it wasn't dark and dirty. Kate stopped to open it after getting her sword out and ready followed by Rick taking out his hand gun.
The other side of the door turned out to look like rock and opened up into a tunnel. It was just tall enough to walk and just wide enough. "Go ahead. I'm right behind you," Rick said and kept Alexis close to him.
» Ж «
It was some tunnel, alright. It just kept going and going. Twists and turns. "Maybe we should go back?" Kate was ready to give it up. She didn't even know where they were now. It went up mostly and never seemed to end.
Rick looked at his watch. "Fifteen minutes."
"Fine!" Kate grumbled but went back to walking even if she was ready to turn back. It wasn't like they couldn't find the door again. She'd marked it and they only had one way to go.
"Rick!" Kate motioned for him to come forward.
"What have you got?" Rick whispered just in case whatever it was was close.
"WOW!" They were up high in a mountain obviously. However, what they could both see was amazing. "That, my dear Kate, is an army." They both saw hundreds and more likely thousands and thousands.
"Who are they getting ready to fight?" Rick looked past them and searched for his binoculars, bringing them up to his eyes.
"Um, some of them look like dogs on two feet. Others look like bears on two legs. And are those Orcs or Ogres? They have massive teeth in their mouths. All of a sudden, Kate snatched his binoculars from him so she could look.
She shook her head. "I've never seen any of them before," Kate told him.
"Kate, look up. What is that circling the mountain? Is that a… Dragon?" Rick questioned her.
"A Dragon?" Alexis moved past her dad so she could see. She wanted to see a Dragon. "Where?"
Kate had to look first before she found it using the binoculars. "It's red and it looks big."
"Uh, aren't red dragons evil and breathe fire?" Rick questioned her.
"A Dragon, Daddy!" Alexis had spotted it finally. It looked really cool to her. It was supposed to be red. All Dragons were red.
Rick snatched the binoculars back and looked at the army again since he thought he saw something. "They have real catapults. Big ones but real catapults. You want to know what one jet with a load of cluster bombs could do to that army? Just one pass is all it would take," Rick muttered as he focused on what was happening.
"Now might be a good time to go back, Rick. No matter who they're attacking. We are two against thousands. I don't have the skill for that and we have to keep Alexis safe." Kate reached out to stroke her hair.
"Yeah." It grated on him since these guys looked evil, but he couldn't do anything. He didn't even begin to have that much ammunition and yes, they had to keep Alexis safe.
Rick put his binoculars away and took Alexis by the hand. "Say bye to the Red Dragon, Pumpkin."
"Bye, Dragon. I love you," Alexis told the Dragon and walked away with her dad. Kate was out in front again till they reached the end, found the door, and opened it to expose the stairs.

Kate was carrying Alexis since she was getting tired and going down the stairs slower and slower. The next door down didn't look all that alluring so they skipped it. The next one looked more like a wood wall than a door so they tried it. Since Kate was carrying Alexis, Rick went first with his hand gun at the ready.
"Wine!?" This was a shock. "It's a wine cellar. WOW!" Rick looked around. He saw hundreds upon hundreds of bottles and one door. There was also some glass allowing him to look out. Out there he saw nothing but darkness.
"The door is a wine cabinet. Cute!" Rick went back out. "I think I can set up my Mansion in this room. Come on in." Rick went back inside and closed the door behind them. However, that plunged them into darkness so Rick pulled out a flashlight, located his cloth, and laid it down. Soon there was a shimmering space showing the door.
Kate hadn't offered anything different so it looked just like last time. Table full of food, bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, and a pool to swim in behind the stairs.
"I'm going to put her to bed. She's already asleep." Kate headed up the stairs to find a room for her. Rick followed and selected a different room. He huffed out a deep breath and dropped stuff so he could use the bathroom since he needed to pee.
Rick came out naked and found Kate standing there. He watched her start to grin. She didn't need him but she did want him. There was a difference.
» Ж «
Kate was sitting on the bed with Rick behind her. He was doing something literally no one had ever done before and she was sitting there moaning. He was stroking her wings. Not the thin wing part but the thicker ridge at the top. Including the bone at the elbow of her wings.
"Based on the sounds you're making I'm assuming this doesn't hurt?" Rick asked her.
"No, that feels amazing. Please don't stop." She was more than willing to let him do that for hours. Then he did something different. He began kissing her wings. That sent shivers down her body. But it was also getting her pussy wet yet again.
They had already made love to each other but since she was a Succubus she wasn't tired of sex just yet. If that was even possible for her. Not that she had ever tried to find out.
"Is that you I smell? It's making me want you again," Rick murmured.
"Yes, It's a combination of the pheromones that I generate to lure men to me. It makes them pliable and not fight me. The other is my pussy. I'm soaking wet. Do you have another round in you? Because I want you, Rick. I don't need your Cum but I want you." It was a feeling she wasn't used to feeling.
» Ж «
Rick was on his back on the bed and Kate was grinding herself on his Cock. He felt so good inside her. He even had his hands on her breasts and was pinching both of her nipples. She was feeling something she had never felt before.
She actually didn't care if he climaxed and gave her pussy his Cum or not. She simply wanted to stay like this. To have him inside her while he played with her nipples. Between what he had done to her wings and now this? She couldn't stop.
"Daddy!?" a soft voice called out.
"Crap!" Kate complained. "I'll go, she's seen me naked already." Kate lifted up off his Cock and instantly missed him inside of her. The farther away she got from him the more she missed him.
"What's wrong, Pumpkin?" Kate asked her and realized that she had used his pet name for her. It had just come out. It didn't stop her from wrapping her arms around the little girl and picking her up.
"Can't sleep." She was tired but this wasn't her bed and not her bedroom. It was different.
"You want me to sleep with you?" Kate saw her nod her head. "Okay, let's go into your bedroom and get some sleep.
Kate was on her back with her wings spread wide at first. She tucked Alexis against her body and got that wing to wrap itself around her little body. Her little hand ended up on one of her breasts but it was just resting there.
"Go to sleep, Alexis. I'll be right here." Kate got her tail to stroke her face.
"Can I have wings?" Alexis asked her. "I like your wings."
"I don't think so. You have to be a Succubus like me first." Kate knew she was a human and would stay that way.
"Oh. …Can I grow up to be a Succy Bus?" Alexis wasn't willing to give up having wings just yet.
Kate grinned at her attempt at pronouncing Succubus. "I guess we'll see. Now go to sleep. I'll protect you."
"'kay." Alexis was out a moment later, content to be wrapped up by Kate. Cocooned by one of her wings.
Kate hadn't come back so Rick went looking and found these two. He retreated back to his room with a smile on his face.

It is 3 months later
Nine straight doors later they had both spotted something down below. It turned out to be a very large platform that had one door. They hadn't tried the door yet. This place had something that they hadn't found before.
This was basically a small city and it had life in it. It also had something else. They'd found a real honest-to-god Vampire. A female Vampire that had attempted to obtain Rick until Kate the Succubus stopped her.
That was followed by meeting someone very interesting. It was clearly female. And she had a long snake body that was mostly blue and silver. She had large wings that had feathers instead of skin like Kate's. They were blue and silver as well. She wasn't wearing clothes so you could see her breasts that were small like Kate's when she was a human. She had glow in the dark green hair.
She had stopped Kate. "Succubus. There are rules within the Staircase. This place is neutral. Any form of combat will result in me ripping your wings off and throwing you into the void that is the center of the staircase where you will fall forever.
"Myself and my sisters enforce this rule. Ask the denizens of this town if you doubt my power. You are free to live here if you can afford it. Enter this door and any other door at your own risk.
"That is the only rule. Theft is combat, use of mental powers is combat, your pheromones is combat. If it is unwanted or controlling, it is combat. I suggest you do not test me or my sisters." She had promptly started to slither away.
YOU'RE SO PRETTY!" Alexis told her since she had wings.
She slithered over to Alexis and looked her over. "Human child." She looked at Kate. "Yours?"
"No, not exactly. Alexis is… She is my Mate's daughter. He is human. Alexis likes anyone with wings it would appear. She wants my wings so badly," Kate told her since Rick was off looking for something for them. He had assured her that he could take care of himself.
Even if they had seen different races here. None of which they recognized.
"You like wings?" She lowered herself down to Alexis's level and watched her nodding her head and smiling wide.
"That's my mommy!" She pointed at Kate who nearly had a heart attack.
"A human child with a Succubus mommy. How interesting." To her a Succubus was a Demon and all Demons were born Evil. Hence her warning. "If you can afford it there may be a magical method for her to have wings. Ask around. A pleasure to meet you, little Alexis who loves a Demon Succubus." She shook Alexis's hand and slithered away.

"Daddy! I can have wings!" Rick was back and since they didn't trust the tent they lived in to be safe they couldn't afford to leave anything behind.
"Wings?" Rick looked at Kate who then explained what she had been told by the peacekeeper. "Really!?" That had him looking around. This platform was big and filled with people. There was nearly everything so far. They hadn't seen everything yet so who knew?
"It would be great to dump some of this stuff." He was tired of walking around with all this stuff. He had noticed he was the only one doing it.
One of his gold coins was a coin no one had seen before so he got a hundred local gold coins for one of his. Their tent that looked a lot like an Indian tepee was what they lived in. Every twenty-four hours Rick used his Mansion and they lived in it inside their tent. The tent was costing them just three silver pieces per day. It took ten silver pieces to make one local gold piece.
With the Mansion having food they didn't have to purchase it all that often.
» Ж «
Today they were testing out this no stealing idea. Everything but one item was in the Mansion while they were all out searching this place. Rick just wanted to see. Kate, however, was searching for these magical wings. If they found them she was going to see if they could afford them.
"MOMMY!" Alexis's sharp eyes had spotted wings and she raced to go see. She managed to avoid everyone between her and her wings.
Rick stopped Kate. "Mommy?"
"She just started calling me that out of the blue. I can ask her to stop." But instead of Rick asking her to do just that he kissed her.
"MOMMY!" She wanted wings and since Mommy had wings she needed Mommy, not Daddy.
» Ж «
Alexis was being carried home by Kate since she refused to walk. She hadn't gotten her wings. It turned out they actually were magical wings. It was just that she was too small for them. She needed to be older and bigger, so she had her face buried in Kate's neck.
Then it happened. An Incubus showed up in front of her. "Succubus, I will make you mine," he informed her.
"I have a mate already," Kate told him. That had him looking around but he didn't see another Incubus. However, she was carrying a human child.
"A human!?" He said it like that was the single most despicable thing he could think of. Humans were only good for getting Cum. Sucking all of their Life Force out of them.
"Combat here will get you killed," Kate warned him. "I suggest you leave me alone."
"Mommy?" Alexis's voice quavered; she didn't like that guy.
"MOMMY!?" Now he was disgusted in the extreme. "You are mine, Succubus." He took hold of her arm and pulled. Then suddenly he was encased in a silver light.
Kate and Alexis watched as that snake lady slithered in and picked him up easily.
"PRETTY!" Alexis liked the lady with wings.
"I will handle this," she advised them and carried the Incubus away.
"Are you okay, Pumpkin?" Kate looked at her and watched her nod her head. "You're not old enough for wings. I promise once you are old enough I will get you your wings," Kate told her.
"Promise?" Alexis asked her.
"Yes, Alexis, I promise. I'm mommy so I promise." Kate found herself being kissed. Then unexpectedly they heard someone screaming from severe pain, but the scream became less and less until it was gone. "I warned him." Kate kept her hold on Alexis and walked toward home.
» Ж «
Alexis was in her room sleeping and Kate was resting while sitting on Rick with his softening Cock still inside her. She didn't need his Cum. It was just she wanted him. He gave her more Cum than she needed so she never really needed his Cum.
"How long are we staying here?" Kate liked it here. It actually was safe. They were learning that this place had different races all over the place. None of them seemed to be over concerned about any of them, including her since she was walking around as Succubus all the time. She was, however, wearing just enough to cover parts of her.
"I don't really know. We're spending money but not making money. I just don't know how to fix that. Short of selling something. Ammunition, a weapon, I don't know. I only have just so many gold coins.
"I assumed my credit cards would be useless even if I did bring them. You can decide if you have something you want to sell. It's that or we move, find jobs, something. Can you ask that snake lady if there's another place like this one?" Rick asked. "Maybe it will be different. This is more village. You said something about a city, if I remember correctly."
"I can do that. How long can we stay here before paying more?" Kate inquired.
Rick sighed and needed to think. "Three silver pieces per day, basically one gold coin for three days. I have twenty-two gold coins remaining and some odd number of silver coins. We spend some of that on food. We need to decide in a few days at this rate. …Mommy." Rick grinned at her since he loved the idea of it.
"Rick, I'm…" Kate stopped talking when he sat up and touched his fingers to her lips forcing her back onto his legs and his limp Cock slipped out of her.
"You said you called me your Mate when that Incubus tried to take you for his own. In my world that means Marriage. Do you want to be my Mate? Because I want to be yours. You being a Demon doesn't scare me," Rick told her and stroked her cheek.
Kate felt tears starting. He was in her heart. Alexis was in her heart. No human had ever wanted her like this before. "Yes, if you want me. I promise to protect you and Alexis with my life. I'm… I'm falling in love with both of you. I don't have to have sex with you for Cum, but I want you. I need you, not your Cum." Kate found herself being kissed.

It is one week later
They were all packed up and even Alexis had her backpack on her back. "Are we ready for this?" Rick questioned mostly because he wasn't sure he was. Kate had learned that her city she thought she knew something about was one hundred twelve doors down. About the only good thing Rick took from that was it was all down the stairs instead of up.
It was just that this was going to be hard on Alexis. She was only six years old. One of the reasons why he wanted to reach this city was to see if they had school. Alexis needed to be in a school. He had limited supplies since he was only able to carry so much.
"I'll take lead." Kate kissed her mate and started for the stairs to go down. It was going to be a long trip and they had learned that Rick's Mansion didn't work on the walls of the staircase. Inside the tent yes, just not out here. Worse, yes, Rick had a tent but it was a little dome tent. Not big enough for his Mansion entrance. That meant they needed to slip just inside doors all the way down.

It is six months later
"MOMMY!" Alexis saw her as she exited the tent where school was. She actually had a couple of friends. One was something called a Tiefling. She had horns and a tail but otherwise she looked normal. She had a bit of a temper but Alexis liked her.
Kate smiled wide and picked her up to carry her home. Home was another tent. Just getting here had been a challenge. Yes, her city did in fact exist and this place had thousands of people in it. You could buy nearly anything you wanted. You just needed gold and that was still the challenge for them.
"You ready for your birthday?" Kate asked and watched her smile and nod excitedly. "That's my girl." Kate kissed her.
"Is Daddy home?" Alexis was living with just her mommy. Much like the trip here, they would enter the Mansion and live in it for twenty-four hours and eat all they could. Then live in their tent for twenty-four hours while Kate would go hungry and buy what Alexis needed.
Rick had filled her pussy with all the Cum he could. It was a two week trip and by the time he was back Kate wasn't going to just want him, she was going to need him and need him bad.
"Not yet, Pumpkin." If he was on schedule he should be home tomorrow. And Kate was already feeling the need for Cum. Soon she was going to be in serious pain. They had encountered a lot of races so far. In this city they had encountered a team of Aasimar that were supposedly half Celestial and half human. They had refused to travel with Kate. She was a Succubus!
They were willing to take Rick to the door that would allow access to a city called Waterdeep. It held one million three hundred forty-seven thousand six hundred eighty people in total at the last known census. Humans were 64%, Dwarves were 10%, Elves were 10%, Halflings were 5%, Half-elves were 5%, Gnomes were 3%, Half-orcs 2% and everything else like Aasimar and others were 1%.
Given its size and influence, Waterdeep was a cosmopolitan city with a diverse population of citizens. While humans comprised the majority of its populace, it was home to large number of elves, predominantly moon elves, dwarves, lightfoot halflings, half-elves, and gnomes. Waterdhavians tended to be social, stalwart, and outspoken people who maintained a worldly perspective of the cultures throughout Toril. While they were proud of their realm's history, they typically kept from dismissing cultures from foreign lands. While they often sought the improvement of their lives through the accumulation of wealth and self-importance, as a people, they would not stand for military conquest or the thought of imperialization. It was a major trade city on the coast. It was also supposed to be a rich and safe city.
Rick and Kate thought it might be the perfect spot for them. It was said to be five to six days down and six to seven days back up. For that reason Rick had the Mansion while Kate and Alexis were living in their tent and buying the food they needed.
» Ж «
Kate and Alexis were out looking for some fresh produce that the two of them were willing to eat. "DADDY!" Alexis took off running and Kate dropped what she was looking at. She caught sight of him trudging their way. He looked tired and worn out but he still had to make love to her. She was deep in, 'She needed him,' now.
"Babe!" Kate wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. "And?"
"What little I saw since I didn't stay long was good. It's a really big city. Some of it is really old but some of what I saw is really new. I was told that closer to the dock area was the oldest and least expensive.
"The Aasimar thought you would be accepted. You'll be part of the 1% of the population," Rick told her and finally looked down at his daughter who had her arms wrapped around his hips. "You got your birthday present! Do they work?" Rick saw Alexis had wings.
The wings at the last place had been meant for an adult. These were more magical somehow and they would grow with her.
"She needs a lot more practice but she's very happy," Kate said with a smile. She had been spending time with her since she had wings and could teach her. "Can we go home? I really need you now." She was trying to hide the pain from Alexis but the pain was starting to get to her.
"I'm all yours, Mate. I haven't even used the Mansion for over twenty-four hours," Rick smiled at her.
"Thank the Gods!" Kate pulled Rick behind her while Rick took Alexis's hand.

It is six months later
Rick had sold his rifle and all of the ammunition to someone who had been really taken with it. Rick had at first refused his two offers, but he kept coming back day after day and increased his offer until finally Rick sold it.
That money in turn had allowed them to buy a five story townhouse. The ground floor was a tavern that sold food and alcohol. The owner wanted to move so he was selling it.
The second floor was an apartment with a tenant who was now paying them to live there. They got the next three floors to live in, though they still had the Mansion to use.
At first business had been really slow. Apparently having a new owner meant the food and alcohol would be bad. However, the word was out for the last three months. The main cook was a Succubus who knew how to cook food only found in the Abyss. Even if it wasn't true, that was the word. Actually, Kate was using some of the hottest spices and peppers she could find in the Dock area. The idea was to make their mouths burn and maybe breathe real fire.
The other thing that was spreading fast was that this place served some of the greatest alcohol in the city. Rick was actually enjoying it. He couldn't make much and it sold out fast, meaning he could charge anything he wanted. He just needed various plants like Blue Agave that could only be found at the dock. Or barley, malt (sprouted or germinated barley), and water.
By all accounts everyone else was using corn for whiskey or cane sugar, or the byproducts of cane sugar, such as molasses and black treacle to make Rum.
Rick was trying to think of what alcohol he could make that didn't use corn. He wanted to be different and it seemed to be working. His drink was different and that was the draw. Now he was trying to think up how to make mixed drinks.
They were in what was called the North Ward. There was the Sea Ward, North Ward, Castle Ward, Trades Ward, City of the Dead (Cemetery), Dock Ward, South Ward, and Deepwater Harbor.
Buildings in the city came in four classes: A, B, C, and D. A was the single most expensive. Large with a grandiose nature, they were almost built as much for show as for use. Examples included the city's public structures, major temples, and the nobles' villas.
Class B buildings covered the larger, more successful, and elaborate single buildings within the city. They had up to six stories, and might have extensive cellars (usually connected to the sewers at some point). Most inns and guildhalls fell into this class. Examples included grand houses and mansions, prosperous businesses, large warehouses, and the guildhalls.
The great majority of buildings in Waterdeep were Class C – the tall row houses that lined the streets with heights up to five stories. Row houses usually had shops on the ground floor, with offices or apartments above that. While not always multi-story row houses, this class included many of the better-kept taverns and rooming houses in the city as well.
Class D buildings were lesser buildings, usually one-story wooden buildings used as small warehouses, individual homes, and storage sheds for Waterdeep's lower classes. Such buildings were mainly found in Dock Ward, southernmost Castle Ward, and, in smaller numbers, in Southern Ward, and Trades Ward.
Rick, Kate, and Alexis lived in a Class C building in the North Ward right on the edge of the Sea Ward. It was a long walk to the Dock Ward to get supplies. Hence, they owned and used a horse and wagon to haul supplies for the Tavern.
They were so busy trying to get established that neither of them had taken a day off work since they bought and took over this place months ago.

Alexis came racing in through the front door. "LESS!" Alexis spotted her first. Actually she was a female Half-Elf that worked here. Technically her name was Lesona but Alexis was seven years old and had shortened it to Less for her.
"Alexis!" Lesona hugged her. The workers here had learned to love her. She was such a vibrant child and constantly happy. They had all worked out that she was happy that with her wings to make her look more like mommy, she was very happy.
"School is out?" Lesona questioned her and saw her smile wide and nod her head. Like everyone else, including her parents she was betting, no one understood why she liked school so much. "Mommy is in the kitchen like always." Lesona let go of her and watched her run for the kitchen.
This place was making good money and she knew for a fact that they were in conversations with the owners of either places next door so they could expand. Would that happen? Stick around and find out. What she knew was that she was making good money. These owners knew how to pay their employees.

Their bedroom was on the fifth floor. However, all that time on the stairs had given all of them some well-muscled legs.
"YES, MY MATE! FUCK MY PUSSY!" Kate didn't need him but she certainly wanted him. They were trying to find out if Kate could get pregnant by him. Neither of them knew if this was going to work or not. Kate herself didn't actually know. All her life she had gotten only the amount of Cum she needed to live. Her Mate was giving her far more than she needed to live.
So maybe.
