All three of us experienced a lot of firsts when we left W&P. Beatrice tracked down the two last books at the same time (one in Liquid Silver, the other buried in the Blue Dunes) while Rebecca and I began to experience conflicting emotions for the same girl. During the threesomes I would sort of get jealous of Rebecca after the sex Beatrice would cuddle with her. Even if we weren't having sex Beatrice would spend time with Rebecca instead of me. For weeks I didn't mention this till we reached Liquid Silver.
As Beatrice was caressing Rebecca I began to feel that twinge of jealousy. Sure it's sexy to watch two girls making out or even going further but seeing this often Rebecca turned from object of lust to competition. With each of these sessions I would push Rebecca away so I could have my turn with Bea but the sex only last so long. In the middle of the night turned over in the bed to find Bea and Rebecca weren't there. I saw light coming out of the bathroom with soft noises coming from it. They sounded like crying. Quietly I came to the door and looked through the small crack in the door. Through the crack I saw Rebecca giving oral sex to Bea. Usually it was Bea giving not receiving and I was always present during these sessions.
Quietly I went back to bed but I didn't lie down. I was thinking about what was happening in the bathroom. If Bea was doing this privately behind my back that means I'm not special anymore, that I'm being replaced. I was furious, I wanted to slam the door open and shout at her for betraying me but I stopped as I remembered my past hurts. My parents died when I was very young. I was angry with them for having another baby and I wished they'd get rid of it. They died in a car crash four hours later. When I got angry at my grandparents they died the next day, I was 16. Lastly and most painfully was my girlfriend, I was angry at her for cheating and I said I never wanted to see her again. Month later I was able to forgive her, even marry her when she gave me the news she was dying. She died from AIDS a month later.
Hearing them coming out I lie back down on my side and felt the bed indent as the girls lie back down. I waited an hour an a half till I felt safe to get dressed and leave. Liquid Silver was only a mile away from the RV. It took me an hour to get there and it was almost dawn. I checked into a local motel with a pay of a liter of water for the night. The bedroom wasn't very special but it'll do. I got undressed and lie on the bed. I cried myself to sleep by the time the sun came up.
It was noon when I got up but still felt like crap. With no idea what the future was in store for me I went over to the Mello Bar. When I ordered a Jack with Coke I didn't know I would have company. "Kesslee, is that you?" asked a familiar voice. I looked over to see it was Barber in a white shirt, black tie and black skirt to the knees. She was all smiles till she saw my face. "Whoa, you look like you've been through hell. What happened to you?" I told Barber about my plan of seduction on Rebecca to what I saw in the bathroom. I told her the reason why I left, "I've been replaced by the woman I was trying to break," I said drinking down the rest of my drink.
While I was wallowing in my sorrow Barber asked, "If that's so then why do you still have silver around your wrists?"
"I don't know, why is that important?"
"If she was replacing you with someone else," said Barber, "you wouldn't be wearing those bracelets right now. Do you know what silver means to her people?"
"Yeah, it means I'm her 'personal sex slave'."
"It means more then that," said Barber, tapping her finger on the silver. "Silver means potential mate and possibly more then that. Can I have a closer look at them?" Hesitantly I gave her my wrist, she turned it this way and that nodding her head as she looked at it. "That's what I thought," she said putting my arm down and looked at me with a small smile.
"She's made you her fiancé."
"Fiancé? How can that be, she didn't even ask me to marry her," I said feeling confused. Barber went on to explain:
"If you were just a personal sex slave the silver on your wrists would be dull, almost dirty looking. In fact it would almost look closer to bronze which is a public sex slave and usually are temporary. What's on your wrists now are closer to sterling silver with hints of gold in it. If she's wanting to marry you, both of you will be wearing gold which means both of you will be equals each others masters as well as servants."
Once she stated this I looked at the bracelets on my wrists. I remembered when I first got these things they looked unimpressive like very cheap piece of tin now they looked like real jewelry plain as they are. Plus they were not off which means…"So this means she still loves me?"
"Of course, dear and it also means she's probably looking for you right now, possibly worrying about you as well. So if I were you I'd go out looking for her as well." With that in mind I thanked Barber and went out looking for Bea.
