After our foreplay session, Simone and I went to the buffet with the other spectators and discovered that it was a mixer. The drivers of the hover bikes and their crews were there, too. We ate food and mingled with the other guests and talked about nothing in particular. I was happy that not a single person or alien mentioned or noticed Simone's extra arms, despite her being the only person with them.

I was glad that my thoughts that it would be this way were right. I had assumed that the little alien that owned the corporation probably wouldn't like any alien discrimination and would frown upon anyone that tried it.

Tables were set up around the room and the larger dishes of food were brought out. Full-sized animals cooked on spits, giant platters of seafood with four foot long fish that looked like trout, and several other things that were considered the main meal. We were all encouraged to chose what we wanted and to sit down to enjoy it.

“Do you want the one with the snout or the one with the tongue?” I asked Simone. Neither of us felt like fish, so I chose two of the tastier looking animals.

“The snout.” Simone said and leaned in close to whisper. “I don't think I can take having another tongue right now.”

I chuckled and turned my head to give her a kiss, then teased her a little and formed a Presence Tongue between her legs and 'licked' her with it.

Simone clenched up at the touch and gave me scandalous eyes. You're going to pay for that!

Save it for when we get to the room. I thought to her with a grin.

We sat down and enjoyed the snouted-whatever-it-was and then we were once again encouraged to mingle with everyone by the assistants, one of which was ours. We all complied and then the little alien that owned the Bogorim Corporation came into the room and clapped his hands.

“I hope you all enjoyed this little show and I hope you can stay around long enough to see some of the other competitors over the next few days.”

Nope! Hailey's only letting us sneak off for today. I thought to Simone and she smiled and leaned into me. Her extra arm was around my waist underneath my suit coat and I had my arm across her back and caressed her bare shoulder.

“Several of the racers wouldn't mind picking up a small sponsor... or a dozen.” The alien continued and a few of the guests laughed. He talked about how it was a pet project of his to get the sport officially sanctioned, even though the man who invented it didn't care about that.

There must be an untapped fortune in it if he's pushing for legitimacy. Simone thought to me and I nodded. I wouldn't mind getting one of the bikes for myself.

Of course you wouldn't mind. I thought with a laugh. They're just lethal enough to be interesting, right?

Simone laughed, too. You know me well.

Do you want to try and sweet talk one of the engineers? I asked her and she gave me a wicked smile.

There's no way he'll give you the plans for one. No. Way. Simone thought.

Want to make a friendly wager? I asked, and she had to think about it.

Technically, yes. I'd like to. Simone thought tentatively. What are the terms?

Technically? I chuckled and she swatted my arm. All right. If I get the plans, you have to do everything I say all night and no matter what happens, you can't ask for what you really want.

Simone was shocked that I would wager something like that, then she quickly recovered. Okay, smart ass. I'll bet that when you don't get the plans, you have to invite our guide to watch us tonight and it's you that won't get to ask for what you really want.

I turned slightly towards her and held out a hand for her to shake. She did so, then we walked around the room to mingle again. I used gently probing questions and listened with my mind for their responses and found the young man that was the most responsive and forthcoming.

“You worked with the new mark eight hover pads!” I said, and he vibrated with excitement. “Tell me the output is worth the size of the power coil attachments!”

The young man looked from side to side, then leaned in conspiratorily. “I used smaller ones and chained them together to share the load.”

“Ha!” I said, then whispered. “I planned on doing that with laser cannons on my ship.”

“I knew someone else would figure it out!” He said a little loudly, then spoke softly. “I'd love to get my hands on a small reactor, rather than using the batteries and recharging mechanisms.”

“Would they let a hover bike with a reactor core into the arena?” I asked.

The young man chuckled. “Probably not. The damn things kick out too much power.”

“What if you used regulators instead of the power coils? Or better yet, combine them and regulate the flow into the coils and shunt it to the pads?” I asked.

“Are you an engineer?” He asked, surprised.

“No, I just dabble in electronics and have some engineering and coding knowledge.” I said, and I felt his thoughts veer away from sharing his knowledge. Ah, dammit. I thought and Simone pat my hand.

“Thank you for talking to us.” Simone said.

“It's always nice to talk to such a pretty lady.” The young man said.

“What if I told you I wasn't that nice?” Simone asked.

“I...” The young man's mind immediately went to her being naked. “I don't know what you mean.”

Simone gave him a wicked smile and whispered. “I didn't watch the race after the third lap. I was too busy sucking off my business partner in front of an audience.”

The young man stopped breathing and a scene played in his head in a few seconds, then he finished. “AH!” He gasped. “Ah, excuse me.” He said and put a hand in front of his pants. “I have to... ah... goodbye!”

Both Simone and I held in our laughter as he made a hasty retreat.

I didn't even get to use Presence to tease him. Simone thought to me and kissed my cheek.

The worst part about this encounter is that I lost. I thought to her.

“Yes, it is.” Simone laughed softly. “Go and make your impassioned plea.” She said and pushed me towards the woman at the side of the room. I had barely started walking towards her when her thoughts went right back to watching us in the booth.

The woman didn't let any of her thoughts show on her face. “What can I do for you now?”

I tried to rifle through her surface thoughts to see if there was a good way to say what I needed to say, and didn't find anything. “My companion and I would like you to accompany us...”

“Yes.” The woman said and cut me off.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

That was easier than I thought it was going to be. I thought to Simone, then made a motion for the woman to walk over to Simone with me. We walked across the room to Simone and then the three of us left the room and went upstairs to our suite. When we went inside, it was like a palace.

“Oh, god.” Simone said and looked around at the place. “How in the world can they have something like this?”

The woman laughed. “This place was built nearly three hundred years ago and it was just a basic building.” She said, then went into the history of the Bogorim Family, then how they entered space and slowly converted the family business into the Bogorim Corporation. It had quickly expanded into the mega-conglomerate that it was today. Anyone that was someone was either a direct client like me or were involved with a subsidiary company.

“Hold on.” I said. “How am I in the right category to be a client?”

The woman laughed again. “You're the Hero of Chofaris with a one hundred percent approval rating for an entire star system.”

“You know about that?” I asked, surprised.

“Do you even use your own satellite network?” She asked and walked over to the screen at the side of the room, then turned it on and changed the channel until it showed some very familiar programming from the Fogaris System.

“That sneaky little bugger!” I said with a laugh.

“What is it?” Simone asked.

“He promised that he wouldn't try to co-opt my idea for making my own satellite network for communications.” I said. “He didn't say that he was going to abuse the crap out of it and get the local signals sent here from all of the systems the satellites are in!”

“He really... he's renting all of that time from every one of the satellites?” Simone asked, surprised.

“He's making, what? Ten times... no, a hundred times more selling the signals to new markets?” I asked the woman who was our guide.

“About that.” She said. “Not counting repeats and direct access.”

“No wonder he told me to increase my base prices! HA HA HA!” I laughed and sat down on the couch. “I guess he wouldn't be the head of a corporation if he wasn't crafty and smart.”

“He definitely sees opportunities where there's potential.” The woman said as she walked over and sat in the chair across from the couch, about ten feet away, then she leaned toward me. “Are you going to raise your prices?”

“Not even a little bit.” I said with a smile and saw her surprise. “I want everyone to have the cheapest monitor-free calls in the universe.”

“But... you're cutting yourself off from so much profit!” She said, then her eyes caught Simone walking towards me as she slipped off her dress. It fell to the floor and left her bare, except for a tiny pair of panties.

“Are you still on company time right now?” Simone asked her and stood in front of me.

“No, I... I'm on personal time.”

“Good.” Simone said. “Hunter, lick me.”

“Bend over.” I said as I pulled off her underwear.

“No.” Simone said, then moved her legs apart just enough as a compromise. “Now lick!”

I jammed my face into the soft mounds of her ass and exaggeratedly stuck out my tongue so that our audience could see it, then lapped at Simone between her legs. Her emotions and thoughts were running rampant; and yet, she stood there and didn't move or twitch, or showed any outward appearance that what I was doing affected her in the least.

The woman across from us stared at my tongue as I kept doing the exaggerated licks to Simone, and she couldn't help herself and started making the same motions with her tongue. She really, really liked what I was doing, then she put a hand to her mouth and stuck her tongue between her fingers. I took the hint and did the same between Simone's legs.

Simone tried her best to stay composed as my tongue plunged into her. She lasted almost five minutes before her resolve started to crumble. She wanted to prove that I wasn't going to affect her as much as she thought I was going to, then her knees started to buckle as I pleased her. I caught her before she fell and turned her around, then laid her torso on the other woman's knees.

Both she and Simone were surprised by this, then I dove down and kissed Simone between the legs. She moaned and her extra hands gripped my hair and her normal hands held onto the woman who was our willing audience.

It didn't take long for me to get my pants off and they both saw that I was ready. “What do you want?”

“You. Inside.” Both of them said, then I was and both women yelled out. Simone yelled because she was finally one with me and our energy and thoughts melded together like she had always dreamed she would do with someone she cared about, and the woman because it was something she had always wanted to see.

Since she was touching Simone directly, she got some of what we were sharing, and that drove her wild. Getting to see it was what she really wanted and she enjoyed that a lot. Getting to feel it without having to do it herself was something she had never thought was possible and she loved it.

It was then that I got the reason why from her. She didn't like being touched in that way herself. Just the thought of having something inside of her made her physically sick... but... watching it gave her a mental satisfaction that her physical body couldn't give her, no matter how many times she tried. When she felt my Presence doing things to Simone, she gave herself over to the sensations completely, because she didn't have to have sex herself. She thought that was absolutely amazing.

Needless to say, the three of us had a wonderful time after that. Simone and I enjoyed each other's bodies and shared our Presence and thoughts, and the woman who was our audience, thoroughly enjoyed watching it all and feeling it through Simone. None of us thought that was going to happen, and we expected her to watch and get off on seeing it happen. Finding out that she hated physical intimacy but loved seeing it and feeling someone else having it, wasn't on anyone's mind at all.

Because Simone and I knew what she had gone through, we invited her to bed. Not to have sex or to even cuddle. She would have refused immediately if that was the case. No, we asked her to stay on the far side of the bed, that way she could spend the time with us as we cuddled and held each other and let her feel it with Presence.

With the caveat that neither of us would try to touch her, she agreed and laid down facing us. I held Simone in close and lightly kissed her lips, cheek, forehead, then the tip of her nose. She stared at me while I did it and her thoughts were swirling.

Are you doing it for her? Simone asked and an image of the woman watching us flashed in my head.

No, I'm doing it because I'm trying to stop myself from going down on you again.

Simone shivered at the thought, so I moved a hand down and felt her. She moaned and kissed me as my hand explored her and my mind explored hers. We were both sharing completely and she was like putty in my hands.

H-hey. Simone thought and broke the kiss. You weren't supposed to get anything that you asked for, remember?

I didn't ask. I thought with a smile and kissed her again.

Bastard. Simone thought with a mental laugh and let me do what I wanted.

The woman watched us and enjoyed it all, until she started to doze off and then fell asleep. We didn't stay up much longer than that and went to sleep ourselves. I felt the woman wake up about seven hours later, and she sat up and stared at us.

That was all real. The woman thought in surprise. She half-thought it had been a crazy dream, so I opened my eyes and looked at her. I nodded my head at her and sent her a touch of Presence. She shivered and nodded back. She got out of bed and slipped on her clothes, then she walked around to my side of the bed.

“I want to kiss you to thank you for what you did; but, I don't want to kiss you.” The woman whispered, the conflict deeply ingrained in her mind. “I can't even pretend...” She started to say and I felt her mind reel and her stomach turn slightly.

“Just saying thank you is fine.” I said. “It's the thought that counts.”

The woman looked down at me holding Simone lovingly, then she did something that surprised her. She kissed the palm of her own hand and then pressed the palm to my lips. Her stomach protested, so she pulled the hand back and barely managed to stop herself from throwing up.

“Thank you.” I said and let her feel my gratitude.

“Goodbye.” She said and looked at Simone, then looked at her palm.

“Don't press your luck.” I warned her.

She let out a low chuckle, nodded, and left the room.

“Here I thought I was messed up with my physical disability before you gave me my arms back.” Simone said and opened her eyes to look at me.

“She is definitely one of the oddest people I've met, and I've met some really odd people.” I smiled. “On the plus side, we put on a great show for her and she really liked it.”

Simone heard the smugness in my voice and laughed.

“We better get washed and changed.” I said and looked at the time on the alarm clock. “We only have two hours before Jelly gets up.”

Simone raised her eyebrows at the 'only two hours' part. I threw off the blanket and picked her up, then carried her into the bathroom that was as big as the rest of the room. The shower looked like it could fit a dozen people safely and it had eight shower heads. I turned it on and the pulsing water cascaded over her.

“Two hours is not long enough.” Simone said and I grinned as I started to lather her up.

The two hours passed by before we knew it, making Simone's words prophetic, and we were out of our suite and down in the elevator to the third floor. Jelly came out of her room and looked like she hadn't slept a wink.

“Pop my head.” Jelly said and pointed to it.

I chuckled and touched her forehead and gently boosted her. “It'll get us home and you can go back to bed.” I said. “Your own bed.”

“Yes, sir!” Jelly said and saluted, then led us down to the ground floor and to the front desk. We informed them we had to leave, which gave them two vacant rooms for other customers, then we left and went to the shuttle. After a quick flight check, Jelly brought the shuttle up to full power and received clearance for a flight path to orbit. We took off and followed the path, made it to orbit, then flew back to the space habitat.

“Good morning, Opina.” Jelly said as we approached.

“Welcome back!” Opina said happily and opened the bay doors. “Hunter, Hailey said you better be in the room by the time she finishes breakfast.”

“Tell her I came back early so I could eat breakfast with her.” I said. “I'm starving.”

“Me, too.” Simone said. “What are you making?”

“Me?” I asked. “I'm not even home yet!”

“Fly faster, Jelly!” Simone said.

Jelly laughed and flew right to the back of the bay and landed.

“Come on!” Simone said and grabbed my arm and opened the hatch. “Go! Go! Go!”

Jelly laughed again as Simone dragged me out of the shuttle and over to the lift.
