La Raina invites Warren to her room to celebrate the vaccine. "I have never felt better in my life. I feel strong and powerful," La Raina says. Warren smiles and nods. "Here," she says, pulling up a bottle of some liquor. "My men got this from someone who tried to sneak this over the border," she says, popping open the bottle and laughing. "Whew." La Raina pours Warren a glass before herself. Warren holds the glass up, waiting for La Raina. When she puts the bottle down, she holds up her glass. Warren does the same.
"To building a new empire. To saving the world one vaccine at a time. And to my new friend Roberta Warren," she says with a smile. Warren smiles back. "Anything you would like to add?" La Raina asks. Warren hesitates for a second, unsure of what to say. "To a hopefully safer and happier world."
"Wonderful," La Raina says. They tink glasses and drink the wine. Warren makes a face, a good face. "I know. I had some of this brand a while back before the apocalypse. I had forgotten what it tasted like."
"So, what's the plan on getting the vaccine to the other humans?" Warren asks. La Raina takes a sip of her drink before speaking.
"Trading, of course. We start with our own people and then move on to others." She stops talking for a second. "I didn't believe in humanity when my husband was alive. He was—a hard-working con man who only loved his job. I was around so many people who had lost themselves. I didn't think humanity was worth saving when I heard the news about zombies. But then, after he died, I became head of this group during the apocalypse. I started to believe in the human race again. Believe that we all can be better when given the chance." La Raina finishes.
"Beautifully said," Warren says.
"Warren," she says, placing her glass down and holding Warren's one hand with both of hers. "I can't do this without you. Stay by my side, and I will protect you." Warren looks her in the eyes. She knows her group needs to leave this scary place, but La Raina looks pretty genuine at this moment. How can she say no? "How can I say no? You've given my group, and I hope and the will to continue on. Thank you." La Raina giggles.
"I should be the one thanking you. How can I repay you for bringing the Murphy to my people and me?"
Warren feels a little...odd. La Raina licks her lips before clumsily crawling over to sit on Warren's lap. She drapes her left arm onto Warren's shoulder while taking the Glass from her hand and placing it on a nearby flat surface. She leans in with both arms around Warren's neck and whispers. "And I do mean anything, Roberta." Warren feels a little flustered and doesn't answer. La Raina pulls away and looks at Warren's beautiful face with lidded eyes. She closes her eyes and places her lips on Warren's. It surprises Warren. She sucks in a sudden breath through her nose. The kiss is sweet and soft. It's not rushed but slow. Warren keeps her hands to herself while La Raina's fingers find their way to her silky brown hair.
When La Raina pulls away, they both have a bit of lipstick smeared on their lips. She smiles, and Warren looks up at her. "Let's continue this on the bed," Warren suggests. "Great idea," La Raina says cheerfully before getting up and walking over to her large bed. Warren follows behind her slowly, taking in all the sights before her. The room is large and painted in reds, blacks, and yellows. La Raina gets onto the bed, more like hops onto it. 'She sure is energetic,' Warren thinks. Warren sits on the bed, and La Raina tells her to come closer. She takes off her shoes and scoots over. "Take off your jacket and leave your machete on the table." Warren complies and does what she says.
When both women are comfortable, La Raina gets Warren to lie down before she gets on top of her. La Raina leans down and kisses Warren's neck. "Take off your shirt," she whispers. Warren does. La Raina watches. She decides to take off her dress. Her body is slim, and she has some tattoos, but that's not what catches Warren's eyes in full. It's the underwear she's wearing. She has on some red lingerie. It's very lacy and very see-through. "You can touch," La Raina says. "But take off your pants." Warren nods. She takes them off and tosses them to the side. "Stay here. I want to make you feel good." La Raina gets off of the bed and wanders over to a drawer. She pulls out a candle and a light before returning to bed.
"This is—how you call... Initiation into the inner circle of my crew. You saved my life, after all. I want to make you...someone that everyone will know. You are important," La Raina says as she lights the candle. She's sitting on top of her legs next to Warren. "Take deep breaths. This will not hurt," she reassures. Warren nods. Alright. Once the candle begins to heat up, la Raina puts the lighter off to the side.
The candle is melting. La Raina holds it over Warren's left leg. It drips onto her thigh. Warren flinches. La Raina smiles. "It will be alright. It won't hurt you." Warren gulps. The next drop drips onto the same thigh as before the next two drip onto her other thigh. It's surprising when it first drips. It's hot but quickly cools down. It doesn't feel half bad.
La Raina continues to drip the candle's wax all over Warren's body. She goes up the stomach, which hurts for a tad bit longer than the thigh, and then up to the chest. With each drip, Warren feels relaxed. "Does it hurt?" La Raina asks. Warren takes a second before answering. "No, it doesn't. This is actually helping me relax," she admits.
"Good. Glad to hear," La Raina says, moving her hips slightly. Warren looks over and sees her concentrated face. She turns back to look up at the dark canopy covering the bed. La Raina drips the candle onto her exposed breasts. 'Those ones...wow, that kind felt good,' Warren thinks. She drips onto both of them before moving up her chest and to her arms.
Once she is done with the arms, she moves up to the neck. By this time, Warren has gotten used to the burning sensation for a split second. It feels off when the wax cools, but it's not a bad, weird feeling.
"Take off your bra," La Raina says, speaking up to Warren to wake her from her relaxed state. She does what she's told. The candle drips onto her breasts more. Each time, getting closer and closer to the nipple. When one drop of hot wax drops onto her nipple, she lets out a soft breath. La Raina licks her lips. "Does it feel good, Roberta?" she asks. Warren nods with her eyes closed. Another drip onto the same nipple. She squirms around a little. "I told you that I wanted to make you feel good, and I would do anything to make that happen," La Raina says softly and slowly.
A drip drops onto the other nipple, making Warren let out another soft breath.
"All done," La Raina says. She blows out the candle and sets it on the side table. Warren opens her eyes and looks up at her. "Time to remove. Then this will be complete," La Raina says. Warren nods wordlessly. La Raina removes the wax on her thighs first. The peeling is the best part about this. It feels so good. The wax is removed from her midsection next. Warren watches every dried wax drop getting removed. When it comes to her arms, it's quick. When it comes to her chest, it's slow and deliberate. When the wax is removed from her nipples, Warren and La Raina lock eyes. La Raina leans down and licks her nipples to soothe them. "Better?" La Raina asks softly. Warren nods. "Thank you."
Meanwhile, Murphy just came into his hands. He's in the doctor's room having a fantasy about Warren. Well, less fantasy, more reality, in a sense. He was the one controlling La Raina.
