Chapter 6: Glory And Holes

CHAPTER 6: GLORY AND HOLES

Tina helped herself to a shower and her mind bounced between two completely different states. One brain was soaked in the passionate memories of the night before with Lorna and Roxy bringing her to countless orgasms.

Her other brain was playing over the words on the note Lorna had left her before she went to work. "Don't trust Mab."

Mab was the queen. Mab had saved her life from the Ravensfolk. Before that, Mab, back when she was her more submissive spring form calling herself Mae, she and her sister Maeve had saved Tina from a lesbian gangbang in prison and helped her escape. Everyone loved and worshipped Mab. Why would Lorna warn Tina not to trust the ruler of the Faewilde?

She couldn't make sense of it. So instead, she cleaned herself up, found some clean clothes, a tight black sweater and light blue jeans, and decidedshe needed to go back to the imaginarium to ask Lorna about the note. The only issue was she had no idea how to get to the café from this house.

She found Roxy and Renic outside laying in a hammock. The sunlight gently covered their skin and they wore shorts, no shirts, and blue tinted sunglasses. They held each other in an easy embrace and swayed side to side. "I half expected you two to be having sex again."

The couple giggled and Renic said, "We have to rest sometime. But if you want another show, I think I am going to tie little Roxy here up tonight."

Tine smirked, "I kinda got the impression she ties you up most the time."

Roxy giggled and kissed her man's neck. "Actually, most of the time he's in charge. You happened to catch us a day I was feeling particularly bratty. Besides, the queen wanted me to be the one to finish out your punishment and prove you can submit. But now that you are a respected member of society, and a natural born pussy pleaser, Renic get's to make me his again."

The two kissed hard and Tina accidentally interrupted, "Queen Mab, you mean?"

Roxy laughed, "Of course. Which queen did you mean?"

Tina wondered if Roxy would share Lorna's warning about Mab. If she mentioned the note, she could be getting herself and Lorna in trouble. She knew she better not say anything until she got answers from the bartender. "Yeah, just, uh... a little scared of the name after the last week. Wondering if she'll let me back to work."

Roxy sat up a little, "Oh, right. I am supposed to sign your release forms now that you're free. I can take you into town and sign off today if you want."

A couple hours later, Tina and Roxy rode back into town on Roxy's red wagon pulled by a rainbow colored unicorn named "Horn-Solo." Roxy explained the name twice but couldn't stop laughing at her own joke. They talked about the night before only a little, Roxy was more interested in hearing about Tina's life back on earth. But the human felt odd telling the story. She didn't feel like the same woman at all. That made her a little worried and more than a little excited. If she didn't have to stay who she had been, she was free to become whoever she was.

They went by the palace, Tina opted to wait with Horn-Solo while Roxy went inside and signed the paperwork. Afterward she dropped Tina off at the Imaginarium and told her to be home before midnight, which is when the guest was coming. When Tina asked who the company was going to be Roxy just snickered and blew her a kiss.

She felt excited wondering who was coming over. She had enjoyed last nights company so very much. But she shook the horniness from her thoughts. She had more than sex to think about and she went inside the imaginarium to get some answers.

Inside the café it was like seeing a concert venue on a day with no shows. Mostly empty, bright sterile looking lights. The large wear-house style building was too big to be cozy but the five or six people spread out at various tables and booths seemed comfortable. In twos or threes scattered around they sipped coffee and shared quiet conversation with low music playing. Tina looked to the center of the room and remembered the sight of Princess Bubblegum, a normally giant of a male soldier magically turned into a petite sissy who took countless cocks in her mouth and ass while a room full of strangers watched and cheered her on. Now, the room was clean and normal.

Lorna was behind the counter with a clipboard and seemed to be checking inventory of the vials and bottles. Her large breasts barely concealed by her blouse and her heels holding her up tall, and making her ass pop like it could hold a plate better than a shelf. Tina saw her and her heart fluttered. Excited by the memory of last night, the feeling of this woman's strap on, the taste of her pussy. And also fear, the note she had left her was troubling and potentially treasonous. Lorna saw her and half smiled as she shook her head and kept working. When Tina came to the bar Lorna cleared her throat and said, "I had a feeling I might see you sooner than later."

Tina smiled, "Well, I was definitely looking forward to seeing you too. But that note, it kinda made it hard not to see you."

"You clear for work?"

Tina nodded.

"Good, grab a rag, we can talk in the back." She looked up, "Away from any eavesdroppers."

Tina found a rag and wrote down her clock in time while Lorna finished her checklist. "It's pretty quiet during the day." Tina mentioned. "I guess I assumed there would always be someone having sex."

Lorna laughed, "Fae are highly sexual but we are also keen on rest and platonic fun. That said, there are absolutely people having sex here right now."

Tina scanned the room and the handful of guests all seeming to be in causal discussions. She wondered what Lorna meant. "Like, in their minds, like telepathic sex?"

Lorna laughed, "What? No, I mean in the booths in the back. Come on."

Lorna led Tina down a red hallway she had not even seen her first and only night of working at the imaginarium. There were doors every eight feet or so of black wood and five total doors before the end of the hallway. "These are private rooms, guests can reserve them for 1, 2, or 6 hours. They don't get used much. Once a day you'll need to come water the plants inside and after a guest leaves do a thorough cleaning."

"Is this where, the sex is happening?"

Lorna blew her a kiss as they came to the end of the hall and she showed her the two doors going left or right, the left door had an arrow pointing down and the door on the right was pointing up. "You're like a curious virgin and I adore it. Come on."

Lorna opened the door the left with the arrow pointing down and Tina's mind took a minute to process what she saw inside. A room dimply lit with soft blue lights. On one side of the room were shelves lined with bottles of water, towels, protein bars and chips. There were showers in one of the corners. And on the far side of the room was a wall with ten booth like stations. The wall was red and each booth was framed in black leather trim like windows. Some of them had black cushioned benches similar to what Tina has seen at a massage parlor and the bench was halfway through the wall to the other side. Above the benches were straps and harnesses.

Tina wondered what the bench and the straps were for until she saw one of them being used. A heavy set brunette woman was laying on the bench with her head facing the inside of the room and a pillow under her neck for comfort. Her body from her waist down was obscured by a black curtain that was the barrier of the window to the next room. Her legs and bottom half were on the other side of the wall and Tina could not see them at all. Her wrists were locked into the straps above her.

Tina watched, trying to understand. The woman's body was rocking back and forth, sliding on the black bench below her. Her large breasts bouncing and sliding wildly. She had sweat beading on her forehead and she was moaning deeply. A faint echo of wet clapping sound came from the other side of the wall and built up, going faster and harder.

Tina felt a tingle in between her legs when she realized someone on the other side of that wall was fucking this woman's brains out. There was a bunk bed style second bench above her with its own curtained window into the other room and a small ladder someone could use to get up there. But it wasn't clear from here how that would work, unless someone very tall was fucking them on the other side.

In the next booth over was a differently shaped bench but the same basic set up. A red headed woman with green eyeliner and freckled skin was laying with her stomach and chest on the bench and Tina could tell by the arch of her back that there was a step down on the other side where the woman's knees were. She was bent over this bed with her bottom exposed on the other side of that curtain. She was rocking back and forth, clapping sounds came from the other side of the wall and soon a loud grunting came from behind the redhead and she moaned and smiled as whoever had been fucking her must have came.

Tina studied the woman's perky tits as she sat up and caught her breath. The human wondered if the man on the other side was a lover, a friend, or a stranger. Not but a few moments later the redhead said, "Oh, I guess you're next." And soon she started rocking back forth again as presumably someone new had entered her from behind and was fucking her through the opening in the wall.

Tina could barely watch before she noticed another booth with no bench, just a cushion on the floor where an older looking bald man knelt. In front of his face was a six inch by six inch opening with the same black trim as the other windows but much smaller. A thick, veiny, black member was sticking through and the bald man was hungrily sucking it into his mouth. Tina was jealous of the man sucking and the one being sucked.

Lorna explained, "These are the Booths of Glory. Guests can by a ticket to the top or bottom halls and each ticket is good for six hours but no come and go privileges. If they leave and come back they buy a new ticket. Especially Roger there on the end, he'll tell you he gets special privileges but he's a dirty liar. Aren't you, Rog?" Lorna shouted his name as she leaned over and smacked the bald mans ass to his moaning delight.

Tina took a breath and wondered what it would be like to be strapped into one of these booths. Naked, exposed, available for anyone on the other side to use as they pleased. Feeling them touch and take and fuck her, without ever knowing who it had been or what they even looked like. If she did this even for a little while, the next day she could be serving drinks to someone who had fucked her, and neither of them would know. Tina noted of the ten booths only three were in use. There were plenty of stations for her to bend over, lay down, or kneel from some stranger's anonymous dick. But she needed answers more than that for now.

"Not much to do here, guests are expected to clean up after themselves you just make sure they do. Keep the water jugs filled, these hungry bottoms need to stay hydrated. Other than that, this section pretty much runs itself. Come on, I'll show you the top side."

Across the hall, Lorna showed her the up arrow door. Inside was a similar room with a brighter white light and granite flooring. The walls were decorated and there was a fountain in the middle of the wall of towels. She could see now the heavier brunette woman at the first booth from the waist down. Her legs were strapped at the ankles up above the bench, leaving her pussy open and exposed. The bench was not long reaching into this room so her ass kind of hung off of it. There was cum dripping from her as the last guest must have just finished. Her legs were shaking and Tina found it oddly arousing to see only the bottom half of her. Just her hips and everything below available for fun.

The petite redhead in the second booth was in fact bent over. Her tiny little butt sticking up in the air while a heavy set man with a long brown hair slid in and out of her. Tina noted that bench seemed more comfortable. There was sort of a ramp at the edge of the bench so the woman was bending over but her hips were supported under her so she could rest her body down while the strangers took their turns.

And at the last active booth a tall slender black man on the far end grunted as he came into the mouth on the other side of the wall. After he finished, the man got a drink of water, wiped himself clean with a towel, and started getting dressed. There were three other men in the room stroking themselves and picking which booth they wanted to visit.

"Pretty slow during the day. But especially at night this room can get busy. So make sure to keep the AC turned up at night. Not enough to make anyone shrivel but don't sweat them to death."

Tina was transfixed On the black mans cock, even soft it was more than eight inches long. "Mm... M-hmm."

Lorna took her by the arm, "You see that wall over there?" Lorna drew her attention to the far corner where a small table with a ledger on top and a pegboard behind it held dozens of colorful items. Whips, feathers, and brightly colored strap on dildos. Leather and cotton harness were also hanging.

Lorna leaned in to Tina's ear. "You can sign out anything you like, just put it in that bin beside the table to be washed afterward." Tina was practically purring like a cat. Her eyes moving from the toy cocks to the women who's bottom halves were exposed, available, wanting to be taken. "You remember what I told you about Fae dildos? You can feel their pussies from the inside. It will feel like your own body penetrating them. You could even cum inside them. If you wanted to try it out."

Tina... couldn't help but crave it. But she needed to know more about Mab. About Lorna's warning. As if Lorna could hear her thoughts, she whispered, "Call it part of your training to work here. You need to understand what our customers experience. Afterward, we can go somewhere private and talk about the note."

That was all the encouragement Tina needed. She went over to the corner and her eyes immediacy found the bright green dildo with a suction cup bottom. She found a matching green Harness and then saw the ledger had pictures of the items and a line for her name and a time. Her hand was shaking with nerves as she signed her name and the time. She turned and realized the black man who had just gotten sucked off was half dressed but now sitting down and staring right at her. Two other men were stroking themselves and watching her too and the sudden nerves of being watched overwhelmed her.

She went to put the toys back when Lorna touched her hand. "Hey, it's scary sometimes with an audience. But remember, none of them will do anything without permission. They are just watchers. You're safe and I'm here to make sure. You don't have to do anything but if you want to try this, don't let a few on-lookers scare you."

Tina took a deep breath and then unbuttoned her pants and slid them down her legs along with her black panties Roxy had let her borrow. She kept her sweater on but worked the green harness up her thighs and around her waist. Even without the toy cock, she admitted to herself the lime green straps wrapping tightly around her skin was hot. Before she could admire it too much, Lorna reached out and took hold of one of the buckles. She yanked and the straps squeezed Tina's hips more. "Sorry, Doll. Gotta be tighter or it'll slide around too much."

Tina smiled and thanked her. Then watched as the satyr took hold of the green triangle over Tina's wetting pussy and found the silver ring there over a green flat flap. She flipped the dildo through the ring and pressed the suction cup against the flap, fixing the cock in place and giving Tina a smile and a squeeze on the toy.

To Tina's shock, she felt the Satyr's hand gripping the toy. Like a phantom penis, she could sense it. The inches reaching out from her pelvis, the fingers wrapping around her. It had an electric feel to it. A stimulating tingle in her loins that reached all the way inside her slit and Tina moaned. "Ok, doll. You're ready. Go get em."

Tina looked past the Satyr to the two women in their reverse glory holes and took a deep breath. Her tight black sweater clung to her hardening nipples. She turned from Lorna and moved toward the heavier brunette laying on her back with her legs lifted up and fastened to the corners of the window between the rooms. As she walked, the rubber dick at her pelvis bounced and swayed and she could sense the air on it, like it had her skin around it. She liked how it felt. A bit awkward at first but with each step she felt more powerful. More in control.

When she stood just before the naked woman she peaked down at her pink and swollen clit. Her juices were running down between her ass cheeks as well as at least one lover's cum. How long this woman had been here and how many guests had anonymously used her, Tina didn't know. All she cared was that she would be next. She grazed her fingers down the woman's legs, starting at her ankle and slowly, sensually, moving the tips of her fingers along her skin down past her knees and across her tender thighs. The woman trembled at the touch and Tina brought her fingers to the woman's quivering lips. They were swollen, soaking, and responsive to her touch.

Tina used her fingers to spread the woman's lips open and brought the tip of her green cock to the woman's pink canal and pushed inward. She felt the warmth of her opening around the toy penis and it made her flush. "Ohh, that's so soft. And tight." Tina said. The woman before her groaned on the other side of the wall.

Tina pressed forward, letting herself delve deeper into the woman. The pink slit parted, accepting, swallowing Tina's cock like it was hungry for her. She made it all the way inside and the sensation of the pussy around her new dick made Tina's shoulder's roll and she shivered. Slowly, she pulled back, letting her dick slide out halfway and then pushed it back in. The woman had been well warmed before Tina's turn so there was no need to go slow on her. But this was Tina's first time fucking anyone. She had no idea how to use a strap on or how to top another woman. But somehow, it was intuitive. She didn't have to ask questions or be shown. Her body seemed to know exactly how to move, how to fuck her they way she wanted to be fucked.

She rolled her hips, pushing forward into the woman and back out. The green cock getting slicker with the juices layering on it. She picked up the pace, moving faster, harder, her body finding a natural rhythm like a dance. The bottom on the bench before her taking her cock like she was made for it. Tina could feel the woman tensing, her pussy gripping the fae dildo and the sounds of her submissive moans came through the window.

Tina smiled, satisfied with herself, knowing that she was causing this stranger pleasure. She was fucking her. Fucking the woman tied to the bed who was willingly giving over her body to be used and enjoyed. Tina was enjoying it. But more than that, the woman enjoyed what Tina was doing to her. She was good at it. That made Tina feel proud. Powerful. Sexual. Like a queen.

"Mmm, you like that, baby?" She heard herself saying. Tina reached down and her thumb found the woman's clit. It was swollen and hard and the woman trembled at the touch.

In Mab's chamber once, Tina had found a connection to the queen as she licked her. She could feel the sensation in her own pussy as she ate the queen's. She could feel Mab's pussy in her mouth and feel her own mouth on her pussy. It made her cum like crazy. She had not formed that level of connectivity with Roxy or Lorna the night before and wondered if maybe it only worked with royalty. But here, in this glory hole room, she started to feel it.

With a woman she didn't know, whose name she had never heard. A woman whose face she couldn't even see. She formed a connection and suddenly, as she rocked her hips back and forth, pounding into the stranger's pussy, she felt a phallic shape slipping inside of her own slit. She looked back to make sure no one was taking her without consent but all the men were sitting and watching. Some were touching themselves but no one had moved. Except Lorna, she was nowhere to be found.

Tina was not feeling a real cock. Just the echo of the one she was using. She could feel the sensations of the dildo itself as though she had a dick inside this woman's cunt. And also feel a magical shadow dick inside her own pussy. It was too much. She felt herself starting to orgasm and just as the lights in the room started to go dim and focus into a single point inside Tina's own belly, she noticed the second window in front of her, the second level of the bunkbed style benches on the other side, opened. A bare pink pussy slid through the black curtain and legs reached through and spread open, wrapping around Tina's shoulders.

She pushed her head down, her mouth finding the pussy and just as her tongue reached inside, the light burst out into the room in a splash of green and white energy. Tina screamed into the pussy she ate and her new magical cock exploded in a pulsating orgasm into the second pussy she was fucking. She moaned, and rocked until the green cock suddenly felt too sensitive, like each thrust was electrocuting her and her thrusts stalled until she wasn't moving. Just tenderly licking the pussy on top and holding herself inside the one below.

After a moment to recover, she pulled herself free from the woman's gushing slit and she moved away. Then she recognized Lorna's pussy in front of her face and realized she had been eating out the satyr once again. She smiled at the thought and licked her lips. She looked down at the dick she wore and noticed it was shining with juices and despite having just been too tender to touch, it was hard. And she sensed it wanted more.

She looked over to the booth with the petite woman bent over and saw a scrawny man pushing in and out of her. He was moving slowly, enjoying himself but not driven by much passion. He noticed her staring and made a gesture to the woman bending over before him as though offering her the spot. Tina smiled and nodded, swapping places with the man.

He came over and had to stand on his tip toes to lick Lorna while he found his way inside the woman below.

Tina walked over to the woman with her ass up in the air and she couldn't help but enjoy the view. Her smaller frame and tight little slit looked divine. She had a light toned little pucker of an asshole that Tina wondered if she bleached it. It looked so inviting, so welcoming, like it wanted Tina to take it and enjoy it. She felt mighty. Dominant. In control. Like every exposed hole in this room was eager for her to fill it. Like her cock was a gift she would give to whichever tight opening she chose to bless.

Behind her she saw the men still touching themselves and enjoying the view and now, instead of being nervous about them, she wanted to give them a show. Without thinking about it, she pulled her black sweater off, exposing her sweat coated tits and she rubbed them, bringing her nipples to life and letting all those in the room enjoy her image.

She moved toward her next partner and grabbed hold of her narrow little ass cheeks. She felt the woman respond to her touch, again delighted by the ability to elicit an excited reaction. She looked down, thrilled by the vision of this woman's set of warm holes. She could hear the redhead saying something on the other side but through the curtain the words weren't discernible. She remembered hearing her say something about welcoming the next when she was in the bottoms room before. So she assumed it was the same basic gesture. And she did welcome herself.

The redheads pussy was even tighter than the brunette's. It took some pushing to herself inside all the way where she felt the woman's butt pressed against her hips. She heard the redhead squeal in delight on the other side and she was so excited by the power she felt in that moment, she bit her lower lip and spanked the redheads bare ass cheek. One, then the other, smiling at the popping sound it made. Then, she could see a faint pink handprint on the woman's freckled butt where she slapped it. Her cock pulsed inside the woman's cunt and Tina felt like a goddess in that moment.

She found at this angle, topping the woman in a doggy style position, she had to move slightly differently. She experimented a bit, moving slowly in and out of the ginger. Finding the best way to stand and move. She spread her feet and planted her hips and when it felt just right she said, "Get ready, honey. You're gunna take this dick like my good little slut."

She shocked herself with her own words, but also tickled. This was a new space for her. A new energy she found. And she liked it. Being Roxy's plaything had been magical and this was only a different flavor of it. Tina wanted more of both. But right now, she wanted to pound this little redhead like there was no tomorrow. So that's just what she did.

"YES! YES! MORE!" She heard the woman crying out from the other side as she thrusted into her. The green dick slid in and out hard and fast like a piston. Getting wetter and more slippery as the woman creamed on Tina's cock. Tina found herself getting stronger, faster, fueled by thrill of the act. The primal, animalistic urge to fuck. She pounded so hard the bench itself skipped forward and the woman yelped in pleasure.

Tina slapped her ass a few more times, grunting as she did. Holding her narrow hips to keep her in place giving herself enough torque to pound her even harder. Sweat dripped down her back and she felt it move down between her cheeks and she wondered if the horny men watching her fuck this little slut could see it. She fucked hard, she pounded, and when she could feel her cock getting ready to cum, her eyes caught an angle that gave her an idea.

She squeezed the freckled butt cheeks and her fingers wandered. Her thumb found its way into the center between the silky white cheeks. She pressed her thumb against the woman's puckered asshole and waited. Waited for a sign, a hint of whether the woman wanted it. The red head arched her back, pressing her butthole against Tina's thumb and that was all the invitation the Low Fae needed. She brought her thumb down, sliding it around the woman's pussy to slicken it up. When it was well lubricated she brought it back up and it slipped inside like it was made to be there.

The redhead yelped again and Tina could feel the tight ring crushing her thumb and the warm soft tissue inside. She could feel her green cock through the woman's inner tunnel and she smiled as she could feel her own dick fucking one level deeper inside the redhead. She pushed down, squeezing her toy dick through the woman's ass and started fucking harder, faster. The redhead's breathing quickened and she was pushing back, rocking her hips into Tina's green cock.

Green-light built up inside Tina's chest and spread out in veins of energy through her body, out her thumb which was planted inside the freckled butt and through the cock she was fucking her with. The light glowed inside the woman bending over and Tina let herself feel the energy flowing through her. Her cock began to fill with power, tingling sensations, and she said, "Get ready, slut." And she rapidly thrust as hard and fast as she could.

Her orgasm hit so hard, she couldn't hear anything but ringing. All the world was bright lights, pulsing green, purple, and white. And she felt her body flooded with buzzing electricity. It pulsed through her, swirled around her blood and every part of her was on fire with pleasure.

When the world came back into its normal form around her, Tina let out a hard exhale and started catching her breath. The redheaded woman was shaking with deep breaths below and Tina grinned as she slowly pulled her thumb free of the girls ass with a cute little popping sound. Then she took her toy cock out of her and enjoyed the view of her sweaty freckled ass. She leaned over and kissed the woman on her small back, right above her ass and said, "Thank you for the pleasure."

Then she turned and all the men in the room erupted in applause, cheering for her shouting, "Great show!"

She laughed and found Lorna clapping along with them. Tina had been so lost in her redhead that she never noticed Lorna must have left her double decker bench and come back. She was dressed and a new man was fucking the woman laying down now. How long had she been with the redhead she wondered?

Tina put the toy in the to-be-washed-bin and put her own clothes back on. Lorna brought her a bottle of water and a pat on her shoulder, "You did great!" She beamed. "You need a rest. Come on, let's go to the break room."

Inside a small room with pink cushioned couches Lorna and Tina sat down and the Low Fae caught her breath. Lorna smiled looking her over and then said, "I put out a sign but I'll need to get back to the bar soon. We are safe in here but make sure you don't say anything about the note outside. Mab has spies everywhere."

Tina felt a chill then, "Why would I worry about her spies? Am I in danger?"

Lorna looked serious for a second. "Not danger, not yet. But you aren't being told the truth about what Mab wants. If you find the truth without the right explanation, I worry you'll rebel. And rebelling against Mab is dangerous."

Tina shook her head, 'Ok so... you think Mab is lying to me, but you don't want me to go against her. So you want to tell me the truth so I can comply with her lies?"

Lorna leaned forward. "Look, I don't have a plan. Ok, I am not some resistance leader. But... after last night, I care about you more than I wanted to. Maybe, you can get out of what she has planned without making her angry. Or maybe you want to play along with her. Just... I don't want you taking oaths without knowing."

"Knowing what?" Tina wasn't horny now. She was scared.

"There's something about how the Low Fae died, the real reason that war started with the Ravensfolk. In my kingdom, the satyrs remember. Ravensfolk were mean bastards but they weren't evil. Not like we know them now. But Mab's people and the Low Fae were real rivals. Some say the High Fae tricked the Ravensfolk to start that war. But they didn't expect the Ravensfolk to take it so far as to banish the Low Fae to earth and now the power of the realm if out of balance. The Ravensfolk are stronger than Mab wanted."

Tina felt a lump in her throat and suddenly her fear was more anger. "Is that true?"

Lorna shrugged, "I don't know. Satyrs tend to be conspiracy theorists. Might just be rumors. But I do know that Mab has found other Low Fae descendants before and they did not suit her needs. She has been looking for an heir to the royal family of the Low Fae, someone with a blood claim to your ancestors vacant throne and I can not think of one reason why."

Tina shook her head, "So she wants me to rule? She said something to that effect when we first met."

"Someone would have to get the ravens out of your lands first. But... Mab isn't someone who gives away power. Her spring form maybe, but not the others. I think, the only way she'd let you take a crown is if she thinks she can control you. Maybe that's why she's only given you to dominant partners. She wants to bring out your submissive energy."

Tina wondered if she had made mistakes. She wondered if Mab was dangerous. If Lorna was honest. "Wait, today, you helped me have sex as the dominant partner. I was the top today. Was that... are you manipulating me to be less submissive?"

"No, darling, no. I don't want to trick you. I want to help you awaken more of yourself. A rounded, whole Fae. You are both submissive and dominant. Like Mab's Spring and Summer forms but more integrated."

Tina found her breath getting quicker and she felt lightheaded. Lorna came beside her and put a hand on her knees and brought water to her lips. "Drink, baby. I'm sorry, that was too much too fast. Just breathe. In and out. In and out."

Lorna coached Tina through breath-work until she was calmer and the human sat up. "Ok... so... how, how do we know? Right, that stuff about the war is just rumors. Maybe Mab's just intense but that doesn't mean she's going to use me like some pawn to rule both queendoms or that she had my family killed."

Lorna sat up, "Yeah, I don't know for sure what she's planning. But I do know that a while back some of the humans Renic and their group brought here as refugees started asking too many questions and Winter Mab took them on a journey south that they never came back from. Said they were set upon by Ravens and none of the half breeds lived. But she was the only witness. And I also know that Ravensfolk have a different version of the history you may want to hear."

Tina sat with her head in her hands and thought. "Do you think there's anyway to talk to a Raven without getting killed? Find the truth?"

Lorna thought for a second. "Hard to say, they do hate your guts. But... there is someone who might be able to arrange a parlay of sorts. But it would be difficult. She might not agree to help you and if Mab found out you were even trying she'd have you back in the tower of wails for the rest of your life."

Tina thought about the risks and wondered if it might not be better to just be Mab's puppet. Better her pawn than her dead enemy. "How do we ask this person for help?"

Lorna smirked, "We can try to go visit my grandma tomorrow."

"Your grandma?"

"Yes, she's the oldest living satyr. She knew your ancestors before the war and she advises the Satyr King now. We'll have to sneak into my realm through one of the portals, otherwise its about a nine month journey and I don't have anyone to cover my shifts." She smiled.

"Can we open the portal?"

"One of us can. There's a private event here tomorrow night and they are having their submissive members do all the serving and cleaning so no staff need to be here. We'll go then. Meet me at the back door at sunset."

Tina nodded. "Thanks. I will see you tomorrow."

Lorna laughed, "Uh-uh my little sex kitten. You have work to do. Go mop the main floor."
