"That's a lot of money," Beth said.

  "It could be even more," Sera explained. "That's just ordering me for basic companionship, but there's a whole host of other services. If you wanted me to provide all kinds of extras, including massage services and a number of other things, a full week could run you over five mithril coins."

  "Holy fucking shit," Beth gasped. "Maybe I'm in the wrong profession."

  "Gotta say, I've had a good time with it," Sera said with a grin, sliding back into the pool with Beth in her arms. "But you've gotta be pretty good with strangers, and I mean really good, because you're not just talking with them or something. Even if you have restriction on things like gender or age, you get all kinds of people, with all kinds of looks and personalities and peculiarities. I have fun meeting and interacting with new people, but it can be way too much for others, especially with all the sex thrown into the mix."

  "I can see how it would be a much more particular skill set," Beth agreed as Sera swam over to Blood. "Also, I'm not really that great with random people, excepting you, obviously."

  "You were pretty good with Tasha right from the start," Blood commented, throwing a quick glance at the two as they joined her watching the last rays of the large sun fading away. As the balcony got dark, a handful of sets of lights kicked on very dimly to provide vision of the area to walk around easily, while more powerful lights kicked on within the pool and hot tub to clearly light the water.

  "I found her super easy to get along with," Beth reply with a shrug, making the water ripple.

  "She's a real professional," Sera said with a laugh. "Don’t be surprised that the employees here are super easy to interact with; they're all really good at socializing and interacting with people."

  "I know of one employee that's super easy to interact with," Beth replied, kissing Sera as she started to laugh again.

  "You two…" Blood said.

  "What?" Beth asked, breaking off the kiss.

  "You two…seem right, together," Blood said with a shrug. "I dunno, I can't explain it. When I see you two kiss, it's like it was meant to happen, like a force of nature, like the wind or lightning."

  "I didn't take you for a poet," Beth snarked.

  "Just what I see," Blood said.

  "It's a lovely sentiment," Sera said, leaning over top of Beth and kissing Blood's cheek.

  "Mhmm, you really are a good kisser," Blood said.

  "And that's just on the cheek," Beth said. "You should try a real one."

  "Mmm, maybe later," Blood said, though she grinned at Sera overtop of Beth to show she didn't mean anything harsh by the comment.

  "I'll look forward to it," Sera chuckled before swimming over to the other side.

  "Time to get out?" Beth asked, following.

  "I think it's time for a snack," Blood commented from the back.

  "Exactly my thoughts," Sera said, standing on the deck and coating herself briefly with a golden-red flame. Certainly, a flashy way to show off, and she used it on Beth and Blood once they had climbed out as well.

  "Toasty," was Beth's only comment.

  Blood diverged from them for a bit with a grumble, Sera's flame having made her fur poof out in several places. The tall, lupine woman went to the bathroom to use the several brushes there to try to get herself in some semblance of order. By the time she was done, the food was almost ready, several pasta dishes with different sauces that they had whipped up in just a handful of minutes. Sera was a surprisingly skilled cook, enough so that Beth just had to take some simple directions and the two of them could quickly make enough to feed a small army. Well, the three of them each ate like a starving void, so even that amount of food wasn't truly enough to fully sate them. Then again, Beth was already anticipating some exercise in the bedroom imminently; it wouldn’t do to have too full of a stomach for such matters.

  She helped Sera clean up the kitchen after they were done, taking just about every opportunity she could to brush and rub against the tall woman. Blood had retreated to the U-shaped couch in the central room, sitting in the middle part and propping her feet on the wide, low table that took up most of the space in the middle of the couch. The other two joined her, laying longways on one of the sides together after they had finished cleaning, letting dinner settle a little bit before they did anything else. Blood was in control of the TV again, but she had put on some program about travel this time, a host journeying to different planets and sampling their culture and cuisine.

  Beth started an hour or so later when she realized she had dozed off a little, moving a bit and looking back at Sera, meeting her eyes. The dragon's eyes were partially closed, but she was definitely still awake, and Beth gave her a very quick kiss before disentangling herself. Before Sera could ask anything, Beth leaned down and picked her up, stepping over and picking Blood up to a surprised grumble before carrying them both back into the bedroom. She blushed slightly on entering the room they had all slept in the night before, the smell of sex still rather heavy in the air, her and Sera not having changed the sheets today not having helped at all. She didn't mind the smell, at all, but she thought it might be best they cleaned up after themselves from now on.

  She climbed up into the bed with the two very tall beauties in her arms and repositioned herself, making it pretty clear she was just there for sleep. Sera grabbed Blood and shifted her a little so she and Beth were snuggled up before, once again, collapsing on top of both of them. The dragon woman was big enough that she overlapped both girls by quite a bit, tangling a leg in each of theirs, wrapping an arm around each, and slithering her tail around Beth. Beth had an arm around Blood and one around Sera while Blood just curled up a bit and passed out.

  Once again, Beth thought how she definitely didn't need the blanket, especially as the room was only a bit cool and not at all cold. Blood, with her thick hair and fur, produced some extra heat, but Sera was a literal dragon, for fuck's sake. She radiated heat from every part of her body, not enough to be painful or even uncomfortable, but Beth didn't want to think about being under the covers with her instead of on top of them. She thought about how they should really lower the temperature in the suite, even with all of them parading around naked, as she preferred to be warmed up when it was cold, which was clearly something that would be happening quite often.

  It took only seconds for her to fall asleep, nearly a record for her even considering the times when she had fought for days on end and been thoroughly exhausted. She slept about as long as she ever had for a couple years, waking in the early morning as the sun's light was just peaking up over the balcony outside. The planet the Royal Rose was situated on had a large zone of a relatively mild continental climate, and this is where the resort was built. The time was currently the equivalent of late spring, and the sun rose fairly early and set rather late, so it was still pretty early in the morning. As soon as Beth stirred, Blood woke up, though Sera continued snoring very deeply. The two waited for a minute, Blood moving around a bit, but the dragon didn't even twitch. Beth reached up with a chuckle and grabbed one of Sera's horns, rattling her head around, which was enough to wake her, though even then she was slow to wake fully.

  "Deep sleeper," Beth commented as Sera leaned back and yawned, showing all her massive fangs.

  "Get tired," Sera said sleepily.

  "Come on, we have to clean up," Beth said, easily lift the dragon girl, who draped herself over Beth like she was made of water.

  Blood led the way out of the room, opening the door for them and leading the way to the bathroom, where she started the shower. Beth waited, only needing a second for the water to warm up, and then stepped in with Sera still in her arms. Blood had put it on ultra hot, which seemed to, slowly, do the trick for Sera, as she gradually unwrapped herself from Beth and finally took her feet herself. Still, she didn't complain when Beth took a bunch of time to scrub Sera slowly, taking plenty of time on each and every one of her scales. Blood stayed with them the whole time, the finnicky wolf taking plenty of time to make sure all her fur was clean. Beth scrubbed herself quickly and nodded to Blood, who was waiting a moment for the blow-dry function.

  They exited the shower, taking care of the rest of their morning routine quickly, though Sera said she would be out in a minute. Beth laughed as she pushed Blood out of the room at the end, pushing her all the way into the kitchen. Sera joined them after a few minutes, Beth giving her a stern look and asking if she'd washed her hands. Sera was very contrite in her answering yes, saying she wasn't a slob, even if she was very lazy and unreserved.

  "We have to do laundry, too. Is there somewhere here to do that?" Beth asked Sera as they sat down to eat.

  "You can have someone do it for you, or do it in the suite," Sera answered.

  "There's somewhere in here?" Beth asked with a quirked brow.

  "Yeah, here," Sera said, getting up after stuffing a massive piece of pork into her mouth, walking to the bathroom. Beth and Blood followed her, watching as she stopped by a panel that Beth had thought was just part of the wall next to the shower. Sera used her right index finger to push the panel in and slightly to the side, producing a satisfying clicking sound of a mechanism disengaging before the panel popped open slightly. Sera hooked a long, sharp claw under the edge of the panel and flicked it open, showing a washer and dryer hidden in the wall.

  "Oh, that's clever," Beth commented, looking at the lock and the machines.

  "Most suites have some stuff hidden within," Sera explained. "They all have washing and drying machines."

  "How much do you have?" Beth asked, looking over her shoulder at Blood.

  "A lot," the wolf muttered.

  "Individual loads, then," Beth said, filling the washing machine almost entirely, not just putting in some dirty clothes, but tossing in a lot of the stuff they bought the day before.

  "It's fast and delicate when washing anything," Sera said. "But it gets everything super clean."

  "Cool," Beth said, pressing a couple buttons and starting the machine. They went back and finished the last bit of breakfast and cleaned up when there was a knock on the door. Blood moved over to the door, at quite some speed, Beth noted, before opening it to find Tasha in her standard skimpy outfit. The little demoness leapt on the wolf, wrapping her arms and legs around Blood and kissing her cheek and neck.

  "Good to see you," Blood said happily as she shut the hallway door.

  "Really good to see you," Tasha said happily, not letting go of the wolf.

  "How was last night?" Sera asked with a laugh, seeing how Tasha clung to Blood.

  "Bah," Tasha snorted with an eyeroll. "She was so, so boring. 'Use that tongue, little temptress. Use those pretty fingers, little temptress.' And then she passes out after three orgasms."

  "Ha, at least it was an easy one," Sera snorted.

  "I'd rather the tough ones, since they can actually be a bit of fun," Tasha snorted back, rubbing against Blood as she sat on the couch with Tasha in her arms.

  "So, what's on for today?" asked Beth, sitting on the couch.

  "I know what you want," Blood said with a massive sigh.

  "There's a story there," Tasha said, perking up and looking between Blood and Beth.

  "She's a battle maniac and the scaly lizard just had to mention there's an arena here," Blood growled out.

  "Scales are much better than fur," Sera scoffed in response.

  "In absolutely no way is that true!" Blood exclaimed, leaning towards Sera to emphasize her point.

  "Fur is all bristly, it gets tangled, and it sheds and gets everywhere. Scales are so much better!" Sera replied, though Beth could tell that she was messing around from her huge grin.

  Beth ignored the rest of the argument, watching as Blood basically squished Tasha against her as she leaned over to argue with Sera. Not that the little demoness was complaining at all, far from it, as she snuggled in and adjusted her head a little so her large horns weren't poking against Blood. Beth broke them apart when Sera started polishing her own scales and commenting how beautifully they shone in the light, figuring they had pushed it as far as they should at that point.

  "Back on track," she said, mock glaring at the dragon and wolf. "What should we go do?"

  "We don't have to go do anything," Blood grumbled. "We have an amazing room that's perfectly fine where we can order stuff."

  "You just can't help maximizing your laziness," Beth said with a small shake of her head.

  "We've got so much time; we don't have to rush. Enjoy doing nothing," Blood argued back.

  "But that's so…so…boring," Beth said.

  "Now you're just whining," Sera commented.

  "I can't believe you're gonna take her side," Beth returned, feigning outrage as she twisted to look at her girlfrie-er, companion.

  "You do need to chill out," Tasha said calmly, but with a huge smirk that she couldn't suppress twisting at the corners of her lips.

  "I want to at least take a walk before we all just fall apart into blobs," Beth insisted, hopping up and pulling Sera up from her seated position with her.

  "We can take a walk, sure," Sera agreed with a laugh, following Beth into the bathroom to change over her clothes to the dryer. They took another moment to get ready, a different jacket appearing on Sera than the one she had worn so far as well as a different set of bottoms.

  "You ready?" Beth asked, wearing one of the dresses Sera had picked for her.

  "I can tell this is going to end in fighting, but sure, let's 'walk,'" Sera replied with a grin.
