Chapter 26 Sister Shenanigans
When Jack returned with Misty, he tried to play it cool. He couldn't help but eye Hilda up suspiciously. If what Misty said was true, it was going to open up a very weird can of worms.
"Okay, bus is getting ready to roll out." Jack announced to Lillie and Hilda. Both girls started getting their stuff together and scooting out of the booth. Jack and Misty's eyes both darted right for Hilda's shoes, which weren't the black-boots with pink laces that Misty had said they were earlier. Jack gave Misty a look, and she seemed perplexed.
"We should just get a cab." Hilda stated. "Been drinking too much today."
They did so, giving Roxie money for one as well. Lillie spent most of the ride telling Hilda all the fun things she did on the dance floor. Jack sat in the front seat pondering the situation more. "If the 'enhancement' thing Lillie has is anything like mine, people hit with it have really increased sex drives..." He thought. "Which makes sense, Zinnia, Bea, Sina... There had been way too many examples." He concluded. "But Hilda didn't seem too effected by it this whole time."
Jack turned to the back of the cab and waited for Lillie to finish a sentence before butting in. "Hilda, you want that audio from that thing with Officer Jenny?"
Hilda gasped in shock. "Oh yeah, definitely... Kinda forgot about all that..."
He noticed Misty take an interest in Hilda's response as well.
"I'll send it to you, will probably take a while..." Jack said, then returned to losing himself in thought.
"The ride home was so damn long..." Hilda grunted in frustration in the saftey of the office. She'd finally gotten paydirt, the audio file. "Yeah the police will need it when I talk to them tomorrow..." Hilda thought to herself. "...But I get to have a little fun with it first..." She couldn't help but smile wickedly as she put her hand over her shorts. Her pussy began to throb like it had been so much in the past week. "I'm just as horny as Jack is, I guess..." Hilda said, giggling a little bit.
Her foreplay was interrupted by a soft knocking at the door, and Hilda grunted once more. "Mallow..." She thought, then opened her mouth. "Come in!" She ordered.
The door swung open and Mallow pranced in wearing her usual outfit, a big smile on her face.
"Close the door..." Hilda said lowly.
Mallow rolled her eyes and did so. "Jack's with Bea and Misty so we won't be hearing from them until the morning."
Hilda nodded, now upset she didn't get to watch whatever was unfolding in the master bedroom. "Okay..."
Mallow's evil grin returned. "But Jack did explain what happened... Ms. Black boots-"
Hilda rolled her eyes. "Of course..." She said.
"You were doing some real voyeur shit." Mallow said. "I mean, it sounds pretty hot, but considering you're his manager-"
"I know." Hilda said bitterly. "So now that you know my dirty little secret, is there something I can do for you? Not financial."
Mallow's eager expression dissipated. "Well... That's a big thing though."
"You got full salary, benefits, an easy schedule-"
"Yeah I know." Mallow retorted back. She began to ponder her options.
"I'd prefer to keep this quiet from Jack for as long as I can..." Hilda trailed off as Giovanni's words haunting her. She almost shivered when she remembered how he said Jack would find out eventually. "But I think it will eventually be unveiled." Hilda said, resigned to the fact.
Mallow hemmed and hawed. "Not sure what I want then..."
Hilda sighed. "I have enough pull with Jack, I can change some things around the house, maybe get you an extra night off..."
Mallow shrugged. "Well I do like cooking for folks..." She continued weighing her options. "...Okay, this is gonna sound a little out there Hilda, but bear with me."
"It's probably not as out there as what I've been doing." Hilda admitted.
Mallow shook her head. "Well it's kind of up that alley."
Hilda's eyebrows rose. "Okay, now I'm interested."
"Well, it's going to be in two parts." Mallow explained. Hilda nodded bitterly. "So you like watching people fuck, and I..." Mallow paused. "...I really like peoples' feet."
Hilda was a little intrigued. Mallow was giving up her own secret fetish. "Okay so...?"
"I brought it up with Jack earlier, that shoes and socks should be banned from indoors, y'know, to keep the carpets clean or whatever."
Hilda rolled her eyes. "A lot of the house is tile."
"Yeah..." Mallow admitted. "But you have some pull, you could make something like that happen... It'd make me a happier gal."
Hilda loathed to admit it, but there wasn't much she could do. "Yeah I could make that happen..." Hilda remembered Mallow had a second request. "And the other?"
Mallow looked away instinctively before re-focusing on Hilda. "Well... I think Jack might get freaked out if I start getting really hands-y with his feet all of the sudden..." Mallow then paused. "I'll probably be eye-fucking the shit out of them, but anyways... Looking probably won't be enough."
Hilda grimaced. "So what're you gonna do to... someone's feet?"
Mallow shrugged. "Just a little massage is all, give em some love... Every so often, when I'm in the mood."
Hilda sighed. She'd never understood what was so arousing about other peoples' feet, but then again, she herself wasn't a foot fetishist. "And who?"
Mallow smiled shyly. "Well... you'd be okay."
Hilda tensed up. "Me... you uh... Swing that way?"
Mallow shrugged. "I like both..." She explained. "I'm sure one day I'll join in the orgies with Jack, probably suck on his toes a little..." Mallow immediately began to blush.
"Mallow..."
"Okay, okay, I'm back... But uh..." Mallow said, giving Hilda a big smile. "Considering money's not on the table, this is something we could do... Both of us know each other's secret fetish. It's fair."
Hilda's grimace curved. "Well... I suppose that's better than you holding it over my head every day for the rest of the time I'm on staff here." Hilda explained. "But in return, you don't say a damn thing about what you helped me out with tonight, okay?"
Mallow nodded, then got up from her chair. "Pinky promise."
"I'm glad it's not the pinky toe." Hilda grumbled.
"Oh that's an idea..." Mallow said, a lascivious grin appearing on her face.
"Maybe after I take a shower." Hilda said. "But yeah, let's shake on it."
The two shook hands on it, and Mallow pranced out of the room.
Hilda immediately went to the live camera feeds, noticing Jack taking Bea from behind with Misty sucking her nipple and making out with her. "I wish I had some fucking audio... And a vibrator." Hilda grumbled bitterly as she reached her hand between her thighs.
Jack woke up early the next morning spooning with Misty, then realized Bea was also spooning in the bed, just that he was her little spoon. "Figures." He thought to himself. He wasn't sure how to get out of the bed without disturbing at least one of his bed fellows, so he figured since Bea would be getting up soon to work out anyways, she would be the one to bother.
He turned underneath the covers and poked Bea. She awoke with a start. "Fuck, early bird today." She said.
"I really gotta pee." Jack explained.
"I figured I could sleep in, you'd probably be a little hungover." Bea said with a fake whine.
"Mallow gave me some stuff last night. Liquid IV and some ginger pills. Don't feel bad at all." Jack explained.
Bea grimaced. "Well maybe you'll have to make me move." Bea said, taking one of her very muscular arms and wrapping it around his torso.
"I mean, I'm like a minute from wetting the bed..." Jack explained. It was only half-true. "Or wait, maybe you're into that-"
"Okay I'm up!" Bea said, releasing him and rolling out from under the covers.
An hour and a half later, Jack had gone through an excruciating arm workout session, showered, and was at the kitchen watching Mallow prepare his breakfast when Hilda walked in.
"So, some bad news Jack." She stated emotionlessly.
"Oh?" Jack asked.
"Floor's looking like shit. Considering we're going to add some more staff, I think we're going to have to have a 'no-shoes' policy in the house." Hilda explained.
"Really?" Jack asked, turning to Mallow, remembering she had mentioned something about this before he'd hit the town the night before. "What'd you do Mallow, get blackmail on Hilda or something?" He joked.
Mallow gasped. "What?" She said, suddenly very tense.
"Nothing, just fucking around." Jack replied, turning back to Hilda. "So what're you gonna do, get one of those shoe-cubby things at every entrance?"
"Uh- yeah." Hilda said, nodding to herself. "I'll get on that." She hurried out of the kitchen.
Mallow then placed his breakfast in front of him, and as he ate he remembered a couple things that were on his to do list. "First I should check on Zinnia..." He thought to himself. "And second, I've been meaning to ask Misty if she'd ever met Lusamine." He thought to himself.
Considering he'd had so much fun last night, it felt like ages since he'd told Zinnia about his suspicions about Lillie's contact "enhancing" people. "And Hilda saw Lusamine's texts... Maybe I should let her know. And that's not even mentioning the whole shoe thing..."
Misty and him had both been flummoxed about Hilda not having those shoes on when he looked at her at the club after coming back from the bathroom. Something did feel off about the whole situation. "There are cameras here, right? Maybe I could look at the footage of us leaving yesterday. It would at least prove if Misty was right or wrong."
Jack had a couple hours before he had to get ready to go to lunch with Dawn Berlitz. The mere thought filled him with dread, but he could at least take care of some lingering questions in his mind.
First he went to Zinnia. He tracked her down outside by the pool house, feeding her Salamence. Her ass felt loads better after the beating it had taken the prior day, and she agreed to be his bodyguard for the day. She did kick him out of the training session as she wanted to do her morning routine with her Pokemon alone.
Jack saw Misty swimming in the pool, so he figured he shouldn't bother her and made for Hilda's office. He knocked on the door and entered, Hilda seemed quite fixated on whatever she was looking up on her computer. He didn't take a seat. "Hey Hilda, just curious, do we have security cameras on the property?"
Hilda immediately looked at him with an accusatory glare. "Yeah... But they haven't been working right. Something with the computer. First software update I did when got here messed up the whole system."
Jack nodded. "Oh... That's something we should probably prioritize, considering we have Nebby here. And me."
Hilda nodded. "Of course... Oh and I have Serena coming over in an hour to help put together an outfit for your luncheon."
"Is she moving in today?'
Hilda shook her head. "She'll still be working her other job for a bit. She put her two week's notice in this morning. She'll probably start moving stuff over in the near future."
Jack shrugged. "Can't blame her for being polite to her employer. Are we at least paying her for coming over today?"
"Of course. When she's done with you I'll have some paperwork for her to sign. And yes, I did include her contract stipulation."
Jack chuckled. "Contractually obligated sex..." He thought aloud. "It's nice work if you can get it."
Hilda rolled her eyes. "Yeah... Anything else for me, Jack?"
Jack held his tongue, something making him feel off about the whole thing. "Not that I can think of..." Jack left the office feeling a little uneasy and wasn't sure how to go about things. His mind tried to come up with any way he could get a glimpse of what Hilda was wearing last night... And then it struck him.
"How the hell was I that dumb? I may not even need the shoe thing." He thought. "Just ask Giovanni to check the camera footage from last night." He felt incredibly dumb for not having thought of it earlier.
Jack: Hey Giovanni, there was an incident last night in the bathroom at the Battle Club. Kind of a weird ask, but any chance you could check the cameras for someone running out of the women's room closest to the bottle service tables?
Giovanni: Yeah, I'll have Arianne check it out when she gets in today. Any idea what time it was?"
Jack: Like, 20-30 minutes after the bottle presentation. Someone runs out of the bathroom. There was kind of a commotion at the entrance.
Jack hoped Sina jerking him off under the table wouldn't be caught on camera. "Doubt Giovanni will care..." He thought to himself. He had a while to kill before he had to get ready for lunch with Dawn Berlitz, and he was having a tough time keeping all the weirdness from last night off his mind.
"I should probably just do what I always did in times like this..." He thought to himself, a grin appearing on his face. "Give the squad some love."
He checked his belt for his three Poke Balls and made a mad dash to the deck. Sure his arms were still incredibly sore from working out with Bea earlier, but his legs still felt fresh. From the deck was a stairwell down to the property's private beach, and once he reached sand, he tossed his Poke Balls into the sky.
"C'mon out, Mightyena, Breloom, Magneton!" He yelled joyously.
An hour and a half or so later, Jack opened the front door to Hilda leaning up against a pillar. "She almost here?" Jack asked.
Hilda nodded. "Just opened the gate for her."
Jack smiled. "So should we take her around the property, have her meet the girls?"
Hilda rolled her eyes. "I'd prefer you be on time to the luncheon, so leaving early would be preferred. Let's not do that today."
"Fair." Jack replied. He didn't think Dawn would actually care, as he could probably shit himself and she'd still want to meet again with how desperate her family's finances were. "She have work after?"
"No. So she can stick around if she wants/" Hilda replied. "And there she is." Hilda pointed to the nice looking sedan driving up the path from the front gate. The car came to an abrupt stop and Serena hopped out with a cheer, with the car still running.
"Jack! Hey- oh crap!" Serena called out as she realized the car was still in drive. She frantically hopped back in the car, and managed to stop it as it got into the planter.
"That's not a good sign." Hilda said lowly.
"Well you didn't hire her to be a driver." Jack chuckled.
Serena got the car out of the planter and parked. She came out with a nervous grin, and made her way over to Hilda and Jack. "So... Sorry about that. What does that, come out of my first paycheck?"
Jack and Hilda both looked at each other, then turned back to Serena. "Not at all." Hilda said.
"Although we will tell all the staff about it." Jack chuckled once more.
"Yeah, sorry... I just got really excited." Serena then lunged for Jack and gave him a long kiss. "This place is so nice. I can't believe I'll be living here soon."
"You haven't even seen the view yet." Jack said.
Serena then looked at Hilda and gave her a big. "It's so cool to have a sister, finally."
"Sister?" Hilda asked, befuddled.
"Sister-wife." Serena said bluntly.
Hilda cleared her throat. "I'm not... Jack and I aren't that." She replied nervously.
"Oh, sorry. But do I get to meet my fellow sister-wives today?" Serena asked.
"We haven't exactly used that term." Jack explained, but realized he wasn't sure what else to call his "ladies."
"Not sure we have a term yet." Hilda replied. "Might be time to get to thinking about it."
"Yeah..." Jack said. "And I'm sure you'll meet some of them."
"How many are there?" Serena asked, seemingly gushing.
"You, Misty, Zinnia, Bea..." Jack said.
"Four's not bad..." Serena said. "I was expecting there to be a few more."
"Well I did just get here on Tuesday, and it's what, Saturday?" Jack explained.
"You're almost at one a day." Serena said, a hint of pride in her voice. "I bet once I'm done dressing you for lunch, you'll have another one trying to join."
Hilda's facial expression looked a little alarmed at the prospect. "Uh.. Yeah, lets get on the dressing thing. Kinda on a tight schedule."
"Okay, right away boss!" Serena cheered.
Jack and Hilda led Serena through the property, and he heard Lillie but didn't see her. Hilda got them to the hallway and stopped. "Okay, don't have too much fun you two, I need him ready to go in twenty minutes."
"Twenty minutes?" Serena said woefully. "Fiiiine."
Jack and Serena continued down the hallway to his room, and Serena then shut the door upon entering. "Strip down mister." Serena said, pointing him to the bed.
"Uh... okay."
"Only got a few minutes, but I have to fulfill my contractual obligation." Serena said with a sort of evil-cute voice.
Twenty-two minutes later, Jack and Serena were walking back out to the carport, with Hilda and Zinnia waiting on them. "Ugh, who picked out all those clothes?" Serena asked bitterly upon meeting up with Hilda."There's only two decent shirts in there..."
"Me." Hilda said nervously.
"I see why you hired me." Serena said. "When's he got time to go shopping, I'm going to need like a whole day."
"Well it won't be tomorrow." Hilda said. "He's got a hike."
Jack looked at Hilda oddly for a moment, then remembered him, Hala, Zinnia, and May were going to a special place on Ten Carat Hill. "Oh yeah, that."
"That's okay, I work tomorrow anyways... Tuesday?" Serena asked.
"Sure." Hilda said, then held out the keys to the SUV to Jack.
"I'm driving?" He asked.
"I need Serena to sign some stuff." Hilda replied. "You think you and Zinnia will be good alone?"
Jack turned to Zinnia and smiled. "Of course."
Zinnia gave him a knowing head nod. Zinnia then looked to Serena. "So this is the new girl? Serena was it?"
Serena's eyes lit up. "Are you one of my sister-wives?" She asked excitedly.
Zinnia was initially taken aback by the term, but she calmed. "Yeah, I guess I-" Zinnia was interrupted as Serena attacked Zinnia with a hug. Zinnia seemed clearly uncomfortable, but held her tongue.
"It's so nice to meet you, I can't wait to get to know you, what's your name-"
"Zinnia..."
"Boss, probably time to go." Hilda said, nudging Jack.
"Yeah." Jack said, then prodded Serena, who released Zinnia from the hold. Jack gave her a kiss. "I'll see you soon, Serena, okay?"
Serena nodded happily. "Can't wait."
A few minutes later Jack and Zinnia were driving away from the property, and Zinnia opened up. "She seems like fun."
Jack smiled. "She's got a lot enthusiasm. her only contractual demand was that she give me a blowjob a day."
Zinnia shrugged. "A lot easier than buying out my Tyrantrum from the breeders."
Jack took a hand from the steering wheel and placed it on Zinnia's shoulder. "And I'd do it in a heartbeat again if I could."
Zinnia put her hand over his. "Thanks Jack..." She paused. "So when you said after a few years when I saved up some money, I could leave here if I wanted to... Do I have to?"
Jack was so shocked by the question he slammed the brakes, pushing the car's occupants forward. "What?" He asked, making sure he heard her correctly. Zinnia had an emotional look in her eyes. "Of course not. In my dreams you're here with me forever." Jack said. "Don't go forgetting it."
Zinnia breathed a sigh of relief, and Jack got the car in motion again. "Sorry, just... Not used to this lifestyle. A part of me feels like this is some really elaborate prank still..."
Jack chuckled. "When Kukui made me go in his lab yesterday, I told him the same thing. I didn't think things could be this good." Jack paused. "And no, it's not an elaborate prank. Unless it's happening to me too."
Zinnia smiled. "Okay... Growing up in the Draconid way is just so different from this... We're raised to be outdoors a lot, to survive a hard way of life with our Pokemon. This is all so new to me."
"I can't even imagine. It's still hard adjusting to this life and I lived a fairly normal life up to this point." Jack explained. Then a thought came across his mind. "Okay, not sure if this is prodding too much, but I just realized something... How'd you end up in Alola? If I may ask."
Zinnia sighed. "It's a weird story..."
"You really don't have to if you don't want to." Jack re-iterated.
"No, Misty said I keep things to myself too much, and I really like you. I think you should know." Zinnia explained.
"Then I'm all ears." Jack said.
"Well, the tribe has had a lot of issues in the past few years. A large group of the tribe, most of the younger members, left the lifestyle, choosing to live in big cities and use their Dragon Pokemon for fame and prestige." Zinnia explained. "Which is a huge no-no to the tribe. Well, I didn't leave, but for my generation, it was just me and this other guy, Jinga, who wasn't much of a trainer if you ask me... And the elders decided they needed to name a new Lorekeeper..." She paused. "The Lorekeeper is a sacred thing, it's only named every few generations when the omens are aligning... Sorry it's this whole other thing..."
"You don't have to get into that if you don't want." Jack said.
"Yeah it's really weird." Zinnia explained. "So, they name Jinga the Lorekeeper. I really wasn't happy about it, 'cause I think he sucks at what a Lorekeeper should be. So I went to the elders and asked why..." She took a deep breath. "... And they told me I was a better fit for it, but they needed something to give Jinga some confidence since he's the only other young person."
"That's so dumb." Jack said quickly.
"Right?" Zinnia exclaimed. "I told them that was total shit, and they shouldn't dishonor the title of Lorekeeper like that... Then they said if I kept complaining like this and didn't honor Jinga as Lorekeeper, they'd banish me."
Jack's jaw dropped. "The fuck?"
"Yeah! They were worried about carrying on the tribe and threatened to banish the strongest trainer of the generation..." Zinnia shook her head, trying to let off steam. "So I told 'em they didn't have to banish me, I was leaving."
"Wow..." Jack said. "Did you seek out the members who left before?"
Zinnia shook her head. "Nope. I snuck on a cruise ship leaving the Rustboro Port, didn't know where it was going, but figured I'd start a new life wherever it ended up... and it ended up here."
"That's incredible... And somehow I'm not too surprised."
Zinnia giggled. "Yeah."
"So do you still consider yourself a Draconid? In the tribal, traditional sense?" Jack asked.
Zinnia shrugged. "Not in that way... I still call myself a Draconid, but if you asked the elders, I wouldn't be. Choosing to accept your offer to save Tyrantrum was the nail in the coffin."
"I definitely didn't realize the enormity of that decision for you..." Jack replied.
"Well, when you spelled it out like you did, that I'd lose my other Pokemon eventually, it really hit home that I'd rather not be a true Draconid and have my Pokemon than the other way around." Zinnia explained.
"Fuck those elders too." Jack said with a laugh.
"Yeah, fuck 'em." Zinnia agreed.
"And you're still a true Draconid in my book." Jack said. "Just because you don't live in the woods, or whatever those dumb requirements are. Your Pokemon are trained in that way, and you can do it, you just don't need to do it all the time..." Jack felt himself rambling a bit so he stopped. He caught Zinnia looking at him affectionately, and noticed a tear being to fall down her cheek.
"Thanks Jack... It means a lot to me. More than you know." She leaned over and kissed him. He wanted to return the favor, but he had to keep his focus on the road. "So tell me about you, how the hell did you end up in Alola? I want everything." Zinnia said with a laugh.
The rest of the car ride involved him telling her about his life before moving to Alola, how his journey in Hoenn didn't go as planned, and some stories of things he did in the Mauville guild. Then he got to the abrupt changes in his life when his father died, and some of the dumb stories from Castelia. All Zinnia had to say was she hoped to never see Oleana in Alola.
"Same." Jack replied, putting the car in park as he reached for his wallet to tip the valet at the Heart of the Sea hotel.
