It was… A weird two hours.

We didn't have more sex in the end because Ries ended up occupying my lap so that I could rub her belly before she fell asleep.

But despite that, there was a lot of heavy petting involved with the other two.

I had to take turns kissing both of them for the next two hours until I received a notification telling me our time was up for our room usage.

Since we had booked the room for four hours and we came here after already spending at least ten minutes outside… That meant we were already past the time required to win the bet by at least ten minutes.

I turned towards Midori to see how she was doing, since we had tied her up after Amber subdued her.

While I was engaged with the other girls in our makeout session earlier, I could hear the sounds of her struggling coming from that corner.

Amber had even gone ahead to take one of Midori's shirts to cover the woman's head with it, believing that she would be more quiet if she could not see us.

Interestingly, while she had been thrashing around for a while to attempt to get free, she had been silent for a while now and I only realised that when I remembered she was there.

When I looked over in her direction, I found the woman sitting on her knees and not even struggling against her bindings anymore.

It was as though she was either asleep or the aphrodisiac no longer affected her.

I ruled out the possibility of her being asleep since I could see her moving from time to time so I pried myself out of my lovers' grasp to approach her.

"Midori?" I called out to her.

"Careful, Tera~ She might jump you and rape you~" Amber giggled from the bed, still naked.

I turned back to look at the girls to see all of them laying on the bed lazily, all of them still completely naked and looking satisfied.

Wait… Satisfied?

I went to pull off the shirt that was used to cover Midori's head, revealing the bodyguard was indeed awake and merely sitting still this entire time.

I frowned at her, "This room could have blocked out the aphrodisiac gas, couldn't it?"

"Yes," She answered simply.

"You made them pump more gas inside here when we came in, didn't you?"

"No."

"Fine, Linc instructed someone to do it or whatever. The truth is more gas was pumped into this room than normal, wasn't it?"

"... Yes."

I knew it! They must have shut it off now after the time was up which was why Ries and Lea were back to normal!

Err… Not exactly normal I guess since Ries was still asleep but Lea definitely calmed down from how she was acting before this.

At least Midori's honest about admitting it I guess.

"So have we won yet?" I sighed.

"You would have to return to Mister Linc to confirm your win. But I believe so."

Whew… That's good news. So we've won money and also appeased the owner which means we should be able to leave this place now.

"But…" Midori continued, making me pause in my action of standing up. "If I may be so bold… Could I at least… Ask for your help?"

I raised an eyebrow at her, firstly surprised that she said another long sentence while also wondering what she could possibly need my help with.

I nodded at her to go ahead with her question and she sucked in a breath before relaxing.

"I… Was affected by the aphrodisiac more than I thought… I do not wish to appear in front of Mister Linc looking like a mess… Could I request that you help me… Ahem… Help get me off? Just once?"

I looked at her and blinked for a good long minute.

My brain finally registered what she said and my gaze shifted downwards towards her body.

It's worth noting that she was still naked at the moment since she had stripped herself bare during the scuffle with Amber earlier so she was on full display in front of me.

I already saw her as an attractive woman from the start but now that she's naked… It's hard not to stare…

Sure, she was naked for quite a while already but I was more concerned about winning the bet than actually admiring her.

Now that the challenge is complete… And since she was actually asking for it… I suppose it wouldn't hurt to help her out?

One thing I have to ask though…

"What is your real relationship between Linc and you?"

The corner of her eyes narrowed very slightly, "What do you mean?"

"I'm pretty sure a normal bodyguard would not just start sucking their employer's dick like that right?"

"If they pay enough."

Ok, true..

"But you definitely look like you had no complaints doing it."

"He pays me a lot."

Hmm… Fair enough…

I was asking this just in case Linc had some relationship with her and this wouldn't come and bite me in the ass later on if I decide to do it with her.

Just as I was about to reach out to untie her, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist, stopping me from reaching her.

I looked up to see a rather pissed off Amber standing beside me.

I thought she was pissed at me trying to touch another girl until I realised she was glaring at Midori, not me.

"Bitch, whatever you are doing to Tera, you better stop that right now."

Eh? What does she mean? Why is she… Wait a minute… Was I actually thinking that I would be ok with screwing this girl that I just met today without a second thought just because she asked for it?

Midori narrowed her eyes at Amber, "You… You aren't one of them."

Amber sneered at her, "Neither are you, so shut the fuck up. Stop trying to rape my lover."

Wait…

I stood up and looked at her, "Were you brainwashing me?"

Midori turned to me, "I was not."

Amber snorted, "What she meant was that she was simply lowering your inhibitions, which is technically not brainwashing which I totally call bullshit on that."

"How is she doing that?"

"Genetic mods where she emits some pheromones."

"And you knew?" I asked, turning to Amber.

She huffed, "Did you forget about Mara? Not my first time seeing it, Tera."

"Oh… But since the time is up anyway, it doesn't matter right?"

"There's no way I was going to let this hussy get a taste of you! If she had tried, I would have whacked her again!"

Ok… But I guess she was just really horny and wanted to have a quickie or something after witnessing us doing it?

But why would she do that anyway unless Linc wasn't doing it with her?

I was under the impression that those two must be fucking so she should be able to scratch that itch when we go back to Linc later anyway…

I cleared my throat, "Well, I guess we better get going then… We should get dressed. Don't want to overstay our time here at this place or they might charge us extra."

I tapped on my Codex to check if I had any messages when I paused the moment I noticed the time.

Hold on… We started our challenge at what time again? If I remember correctly… Waiiiiiittt…

I spun around to stare at Midori, "You made the counter staff call us twenty minutes earlier than the time we booked this room for… There's still ten minutes left before the challenge ends."

Midori stared at me, her mouth closed shut and saying nothing which was enough to tell me that I was right.

Arrgghhh! They're really trying to set us up to fail!

I mean, ok, I'm not surprised that Linc would do something like this since this was all just a game for him but damn was I close to losing forty million Credits right there!

She even intentionally said that she 'believed' we won but never confirmed that we actually did. And once we knew that the time was not up yet and confronted her, she could just say that she either believed we were going to win eventually but was mistaken… Or that her belief was wrong from the start.

Ugh… I should have seen this coming from a mile away… I think I'm getting rusty with my skills on this…

Lea spoke up from the bed, "This is exactly why I told you that these places aren't good to be in, Mistress. They're all thieves."

I turned to her, "You're really going to call me that from now on huh?"

She actually looked surprised by my words and quickly hid her face in her hands, hiding her embarrassment.

I think it's a little too late for that, Lea… Plus, you're still naked you know?

Anyway… I think we pretty much have this in the bag… We just need to wait another twenty minutes for the four hours to be officially up and then we can go back and get our winnings from Linc.

I honestly just want to get out of here before he gets any more ideas…
