Chapter 98: Making Arrangements.

It turned out Keyla had no particular reason for being up here and was just bored. With her insides filled, Orchid held no protest at the woman spending the rest of the night in our company. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Awaking the next day, I found myself trapped underneath a familiar blue blanket. letting out a long drawn yawn I groggily said. "Mmmmh- morning Sapphire." I gave her some scratches on her underbelly as my arms were currently trapped there. In the middle of the scratches, Sapphire relayed her intent to me.

"Oh I'm sorry you are bored sweetie, There just is not much space for you to be let out in the-" I paused a moment as I remembered something. "Sapphire get of me and get back in my mind, Ill take you out for play play now."

Sapphire dissapeared without question and I could feel her excitement permeate throughout my larger than ever Mindspace. 'Hmm, Its almost big enough to support another bondage again after Onyx's' heavy ass took residence.'

shaking off unnecessary thoughts I slithered out of bed and put on the closest clothes to me in the wardrobe followed by my jacket.

Heading downstairs, I walked over to the elevator behind the bar and descended while nodding my head along to the elevator music. Inside the room where Sophia held the gathering for my arrival was now deserted.

"Sapphire!" I called out and the big chonk materialised next to me. For the next hour Sapphire and I used the large location for a myriad of activities fetch, tag, wrestling. I did everything I could to make up for the neglect. 'She does sleep for days at a time however, so its not like I have left her totally bored.'

Another hour passed before our current wresting match was interrupted. Sophia walked in with me holding Sapphire up in the air, My muscles bulging to much larger than their standard size and my legs were like logs while maintaining balance and posture. I was just about to lob the little kitty kat when Sophia, with great difficulty, interrupted.

"Ap- Apollo, sorry to interrupt you, but Kathrine has arrived to talk over your potential employment." Her eyes were glued to my currently bare torso that was glistening with sweat. "Oh right. Sorry chonky, we will have to leave it there today. Placing the chonker down, she whirled round to give me a lick before returning to my Mindspace to sleep under my origin.

Reclothed, I followed Sophia back upstairs and entered her VIP suite once more. Kathrine was sitting there drinking some sort of smoothie, the effect I assume was a hangover remedy. "Morning soon to be boss." I said with enthusiasm, to which Kathrine winched and begun to massage the side of her head. "Not so loud handsome, girl can't handle her hangover as well as she once could."

Turning to Sophia I requested. "Sweetheart, can you have Elias make us some burgers? I doubt Kathrine here has had a meal with fat and protein in it for years and its exactly what she needs."

Sophia turned all smiles at being called a pet name in public. "No problem my sweet, I shall return with your food shortly."

After she left the room Kathrine commented. "Thank you dear that was kind of you." "Don't mention it now lets get down to business. Firstly I heard from Sophia that some mercenaries can obtain a licence for use of non spartari weaponry. I have a Family heirloom I had to smuggle through security and I wish to use it throughout the mission."

Kathrine thought a moment checking some nearby documents. "Is this heirlooms properties defensive or offensive?" she inquired. "Both. A power armour suit my grandfather found on a derelict spaceship."

Kathrine raised her brow in surprise at the revelation, expecting me to keep that a surprise temporarily. "Alien tech is hard to get the permit for. Considering you are an Arcon however I could invoke clause AT-4072 giving you weapon testing permissions on top of the code 06 that allows for legal use of alien tech." Kathrine muttered to herself.

"I will have to call in some favours after this, but I can get that for you tomorrow. Is there anything else?"

"For technical stuff, that is all I wanted pegged down. I'm sure for my hiring fee you will be more than generous and I trust you on that account. However I would like to know about travel arrangements, quarters situations and the mercenaries you have hired."

Kathrine closed her eyes to bring gather the information I asked for. "You are right about the fee handsome, Psionic fee adds an additional 50% by default. Alongside it being a personal request which adds 2% and the fact you are handsome which adds another 10%" She said as she winked at me, I was not sure if she was joking or not.

" Although you are currently in no need for money, you will be netting a large sum from this mission."

"The travel arrangement will be simple. In three days I shall send my private driver to come and pick you up from here. He will then take you to my families airbase on this planet where we will board The Thanatos, the mercenary groups ship before departing for our mission."

"Are these mercenaries trustworthy?" I asked. "They aren't going to try and stab us in the back for a 1% increase in pay or anything right?" Kathrine let out a chuckle. "No handsome, That wont happen. You should know by now I'm not exactly the cleanest politician hmm?" I nodded confirming her claim. "The mercenaries who we will be traveling with, The Scythes, are a money laundering business for my...

Unsolicited financial markets. They are incredibly loyal to me and will not betray me. The other two mercenary ships have been payed enough and are working with Ecumenopolis 1 Nobility. They understand the stupidity of what betrayal would bring for them."

Just then, Sophia walked in with three burgers. Two for me one for Kathrine. "You know me so well thank you." I said as I leant over to kiss her cheek as she sat down beside me.

Kathrine eyes shone with a cold delight seeing the red face of her former blackmailer. 'A sign of vulnerability emerges after a decade.'

Apollo was right, Kathrine had been dieting for years so as she took a bite out of the burger, the taste overload on her palette sent a shock of electricity down her back. "By the empire! That is delicious."

With my mouth full as the first burger of mine was already gone I commented. "Right?"

After both of us thoroughly enjoyed our burgers, Sophia and Kathrine got to the heavy amount of paperwork required for my employment. I was getting a headache looking at it. 'Put me in a lab and leave me there all day and I wont get bored, but leave me alone with paperwork for 20 minutes and I may end up offing myself.'

2 hours of boring paperwork made manageable by pleasant conversation and eye catching company. Closing the last of her folders, Kathrine stretched her arms up, exposing her well toned midriff due to untucked blouse. "Well that is that. Apollo I shall see you in three days. Sophia, It was a pleasure as always." She shook hands professionally with Sophia.

She held her arm out towards me and I kissed the back of it.

Leaving the room she got overly excited and kissed me on the cheek in passing while throwing a taunting glance at Sophia before she finally left.

"Ah man, I got lipstick on my cheek." I said looking in a mirror and trying to wipe it off.

Sophia took a cloth from nearby and got up to help me. "Here my sweet." As she began dabbing, I slowly wrapped my hand around her waist and pulled her closer. I leant down and placed a kiss on her natural red lips. Our saliva exchanged for a few moments before I parted ways.

Talking softly as I stoked her face I said "Listen, for the next few days to the upcoming mission. I am going to spend the entire time making Orchid docile. Since I will be leaving her here If I don't I will worry for your establishment." I brushed her lips with my thumb. "When I get back, why don't I show you how much I appreciate everything you have done for me?"

Sophia's breath was haggard and her face red. She only just managed to whisper out. "Okay." Before I left her.

The next few days, Sophia's Apartment became Orchids and I den of pleasure. It took a lot to wear the insatiable vixen down to a domesticated cub, but I had accomplished my goal. Sitting on the couch in exhaustion, Orchid was on the floor rubbing her head against my leg lovingly. "So are you going to be a good girl while I leave for a few weeks?" "Yes my love.

"And are you going to be nice to Sophia and help her if she needs it?" "Yes my love."

With Orchid essentially lobotomised, I got dressed, placed my backpack onto my back and left the apartment as my ride had arrived.
