Chapter 49: Epilogue: Part 1: Saturday Evening

“Call me whatever you like, but...”

You want more?

One more round? I don’t care who’s involved.

Kara giggled softly. “You’re insatiable.”

“So?”

She and Allison grinned at the same time. “So are we. Manny on the other hand...”

“Is a man, and thus the weaker sex” Vanessa deadpanned “and thus can’t be blamed for his lack of staying power.”

“Now, I’m pretty sure you’re joking, but...”

“Honestly, Patron`? I have no complaints, and I’m sure neither do the pair of giggling school girls you’ve kept happy all these years. But, if you have trouble dealing with my wit and gentle ribbing, then you’ll have a really hard time dealing with my mom.”

“She wasn’t that bad before.”

“Yes, but that was when she needed to be on her best behavior to not scare you away. Now that we’re married, expect the dial to be cranked to eleven.”

Emanuel smiled. “And where would you say yours is set?”

“Seven.” They all turned suddenly as her phone started ringing. “Speak of the devil. If I don’t answer her call, then I’ll never hear the end of it.”

“Go ahead honey; Kara and I need a little more recovery time ourselves anyway.”

Vanessa smiled, took the phone from Emanuel, and answered it. “Hola mama`.” Do you guys mind if I leave this on normal for now?

That’s fine. If something important comes up though...

Of course matron`! “Uh huh ... Would it make sense if I chose not to?” She paused for a few moments. “A few weeks maybe? With their help, a bit less than that perhaps ... Yes, of course I mean the kiddos as well. Why do you ask?” An uncertain look crossed her face. “I ... I need to ask them of course ... No mama`, I know you can do that with papa`, but we don’t work that way.”

What’s her idea?

She’s ‘suggesting’ that if she, dad and my sister help, then we might be able to get the whole move done in a day. And she’s insisting on keeping anything that won’t be coming here in storage.

Put her on speaker. This is definitely something we need to discuss together.

Certainly matron`. “Mama`, Allison insists that we have this conversation together ... Yes, that kind of insistence.” Vanessa pulled the phone away from her ear and pressed a button. “Yes mama`, you’re on speaker now.”

“Mrs...”

“Call me Maria. Or mama` if you wish. You’re Allison?”

“Yes. Are you sure helping Vanessa move is the best time for us to meet for the first time?”

“I assume you’re concern is about my grand-kids. We would never try to harm them.”

Allison laughed. “Oh, I’m not worried about that. I’m more worried about your reaction if they decide they don’t like the first impression you make.”

“Your little girl? She sounds like she has the right kind of fire in her. That’s good. Besides, it’s not hard to explain new grandparents to them, no?”

“She has a point, matron`. They took all of today’s conversations in stride.”

“And for all their rambling about ‘Aunt Vanessa’ up to this point, if we simply said that this would allow her to move in much more quickly, then...”

“Their logic is sound, no?”

“Yes, it is. As long as you can convince Isa to like you, you’ve won. But that won’t be easy if she thinks you’re being mean to any of us.”

Maria laughed. “I’ve dealt with strong willed five year old’s before. I doubt your Isabella is going to prove much tougher than Vanessa or Miranda were.”

Kara glanced at Vanessa. “So, you were a little imp too, huh?”

“Mami!”

Another laugh came through the phone. “I see. I wasn’t sure how things were between you and them ... I don’t suppose the Lopez boy is your patron`?”

“Of ... of course mama`.”

“Honey, don’t give her too hard a time. All of our moms are the sharp type.”

“So, all three of them will be at the big party?”

“In a manner of speaking mama`.”

“Oh? Did one of them pass on?”

“My mom” Emanuel began “Isa’s namesake. She passed about fifteen years ago.”

“Oh ... my apologies ... I didn’t know.”

“It’s okay. She was able to give the three of us her blessing just before we ‘married’, and I know she’s talked to dad since then. I’ve made peace with the fact that she’s no longer physically with us. I know that she’s not only looking out for us, but for the kids too.”

“Do you think she’d accept me too?”

“I’m sure of it Vanessa. But, you don’t need to take my word for it. It’s been awhile since she’s contacted us, but I’m sure she’ll find a way if it’s important to you. She has before.”

“Good!” Maria began “With that settled, the only question is when. Tomorrow?”

“Mama`, I’m not sure I can see my landlord in time for that.”

“That doesn’t matter. Unless you need to tell him that you’re moving out before you start. And if that’s the case, surely there’s a way you can reach him.”

That’s the only reason I can see to say no to her. Do you three have any objections?

Kara shook her head. I think all we had planned was an easy day to ourselves. With everything that happened today though, I doubt Isa will give any of us a lot of peace. Especially if you don’t go back to your apartment tomorrow.

I agree honey. My daughter is sweet, lovable, and loyal to a fault ... but once she gets an idea in her head, it’s incredibly difficult to get that idea out.

I never had any problems before.

You were merely an auntie. Now that you’re a mama, you fall under a whole different set of rules.

“Just what have I gotten myself into?”

“The moving? You don’t need to do that if you don’t want to.”

I asked that out loud, didn’t I?

Emanuel laughed softly. Yes, you did. Don’t worry, we did when we first realized we could do this. You’ll get used to it eventually.

“Vanessa?”

“Oh, sorry mama`. No, I definitely want to get out of that apartment.”

“If its doubts about the marriage, that’s normal. They’ll pass. Unless I missed something...”

Do we tell her?

I think we need to darling. Since she’ll no doubt see us ‘communicating’ without communicating before too long, she’ll realize eventually that something’s up.

She’s your mom, my pillow.

Gee ... thanks mami. “You ... sort of did. To be fair, it’s something I don’t think you could have picked up on.”

“That in a moment. What did you just realize that you didn’t before?”

“That little Isa’s rules for ‘mamas’ are very different from the rules for aunts.”

Maria laughed loudly. “I could have told you that. You and Miranda were the same way. You’ll adapt. Now, what is it I couldn’t have picked up on? Besides the silence when I expected discussion.”

Okay. “Well, basically ... you know how you and dad sometimes seem to know what the other is thinking?”

“Si`. Most old married couples learn that trick.”

“We can do that, and then some. Like, all the time if we want to.”

“You expect me to believe your success rate is that good?”

“Yes Mama`. You see, we can hear each others thoughts.”

“I find that a little hard to believe. If that’s true, then I’m sure you can feel what they feel too.”

“Well ... yeah.” Oops.

One of us was bound to let something slip. And if we didn’t, Isa probably will.

“Thank you, patron`.”

“Wait ... really?!”

“Yeah...”

“So, when you’ve said in the past that your times with him never seemed as good as theirs ... you weren’t just talking about an emotional connection thing?”

“Yes.”

When did you share that with her?

She ‘beat’ it out me Mami ... I couldn’t help it. You know how moms can be sometimes.

That’s fair. Mine has pulled things out of me that I never planned to share with her.

“And I take it you’re claiming to know that for yourself now?”

“Just a little while ago, yes. It was unlike anything I imagined it could be.”

“I find that hard to believe, but ... I will acknowledge that could be possible. So, tomorrow?”

Vanessa glanced around, then nodded at the others. “After work. Normal offices are closed, but ... my field kind of sucks.”

“Kind of? You don’t need to pay for that expensive apartment anymore, so do you really intend to stay at the hell hole?”

“Hell hole, honey?”

“It would be just like you to hold that sort of thing in. If they love you enough to do something crazy like add you to their family so quickly, then you’re not a burden to them.”

“Vanessa, what haven’t you told us about that place?”

“Well ... I didn’t bring it up because that’s just the way my field works. There have been openings for regional project managers lately, and I failed to get any of them.”

“By ‘lately’ my daughter means over the last four years, and ‘failed’ only because the boys at the top of the chain would prefer to promote one of their own instead of the most senior project coordinator. I understand another management spot opened that you’d be perfect for just last week, but you expect that to go to someone who’s been there for only a few years.”

“Why are you still there Vanessa? This plus what Kara shared earlier is the perfect recipe to quit tomorrow.”

“Only because I needed the job. The way rent’s been shooting up in my neighborhood meant that finding another job was out of the question.”

“Not anymore. We meant what Kara told you earlier. And there’s no way we’d abandon you to an environment like that just so that we could live a little easier.”

“Listen to your matron`. I assume they made some offer before you decided to fill out the online form.”

“Yes ... wait, how did you know about that? None of us mentioned the form.”

“Do you think I wouldn’t try to get a sense of what my precious first born was getting herself into? I learned to do research before the internet existed; finding the information about that process barely took me any time at all.”

“We offered Vanessa the other bedroom with no expectation of any payment of any kind for it. That’s not saying that we won’t accept any help she’s willing to offer.”

“Including the things men assume should cost nothing?”

“Oh, none of us believe that. Not even Manny. Those jobs are the most important, and by far the most valuable.”

“Mami`...”

“Don’t let them go. You’ve clearly found the people destiny intended you to be with.”

“I don’t intend to mama`.” So, all of you think I should just quit tomorrow?

Give your two weeks notice. I doubt any of the boys in their ‘club’ would be willing to take the high ground, and you’re far too good a person to stoop to their level.

Thank you patron`. You’re right. “Okay” she paused for a moment “tomorrow, after I’ve given my two weeks notice, we can go to the apartment and start the moving process. I can always take care of the stupid little things from here during the middle of the week. Maybe plan to meet us there about ten in the morning?”

“Your father may be a little grumbly that ‘early’, but that’s his problem. We’ll be there. Now, let me stop getting in the way of your fun.”

“Mama`!”

“I remember what those days were like. I was young once too. Buenas noches!”

“Good night mama`.”

Darling...

Yes, my muse?

Did you forget about last night? You still need to receive your punishment.

Vanessa’s phone clicked as the call ended. “Punishment?”

“We can wait until tomorrow, but ... better to take it now, while the kids are away.”

Vanessa turned to Emanuel. “What punishment? What did Kara wrong?”

Kara grinned. “I bet Allison that I could make it up here faster than her. She won.”

“She lost intentionally. That’s why she needs to be punished.”

“Mami`! It’s like you want...” she paused for a moment as a look of surprise crossed her face “oh ... I see how it is. So, can one of you answer the other question?”

“Go get the piece.”

“Yes, my pillar.” Kara stood up and grabbed the heavy flogger from the closet. “Just this?”

“And the claws too.”

Vanessa gasped briefly at the smile Kara felt cross her face. “I... ! Right, I’d forgotten about that particular fetish.”

“It’s okay if you’re not into it, my pillow. Manny can teach you a technique or two to not feel what I wanted so badly last night.”

“Do you still want it?”

Kara’s smile turned into a grin. “Yes!”

“Here, come with me to the other bedroom for a second, and I’ll teach you the techniques we use when we don’t want to hear what each other is thinking, or feel some or all of what they’re feeling. That will give Allison time to warm up. It’s up to you if you want to use any of those techniques now.”

“Oh ... okay.” Kara watched them leave the bedroom as Allison started to take her practice swings.

“Now, I know you like an all around beating, but...”

“Not while they’re incubating, no. The claws should be safe everywhere except my belly, and although I’m not super happy about it, I think only my butt is a valid target for the flogger.”

Kara watched them come back into the room. “Since this is Vanessa’s first time seeing this in a while, I need you to repeat your safe words for me.”

“Green for ‘keep going’, yellow for ‘slow down’, and red for ‘stop right now’.”

“Good. The flogger first; assume the position.” And call me Mistress.

“Yes Mistress.” Kara knelt on the bed and raised her butt as high as she could. “Is this okay, Mistress?”

“That will do.” Honey, you may want to stand back where Emanuel is for now. You don’t want to be in the range of this thing.

Yes matron`.

Kara closed her eyes, then gasped loudly as she saw Allison ‘throw’ the flogger and watched it make contact with her left cheek. The pain flashed through her a moment later; she sighed happily at the little jolt of pleasure that accompanied it. The next few hits happened the same way; a flash of Vanessa’s view of the hit, followed by growing pleasure each hit left behind.

Ten more darling.

Thank you Mistress.

Kara grinned as the next two hits landed in rapid succession, and found herself quickly lost in the pain/pleasure mix. She sighed as the last hit landed, then grinned as cold metal touched her skin. Ready for this, my good pain slut?

Yes Mistress! The first set of claws began to dance around her back and butt; Kara grinned and felt the small wave of pleasure break a moment later. Two more hands joined in the dance, moving around practically her whole body. She felt a larger orgasm start to build in her, then the one she expected in Allison. A third quietly followed and pulled her attention away for a moment. Vanessa?

Si Mami`?

Is that one yours?

I think so. There’s something ... special to these that I wasn’t expecting.

“Kara?”

“Yes Mistress?”

“You’re not completely losing yourself in this. Are we doing okay?”

She grinned. “Wonderfully. I just don’t want Vanessa to feel left out.”

“And if she was, what would you do about that?”

“I’d suggest that someone focuses on her.”

“You’re okay with sharing this? One of your favorite activities?”

“Yes Mistress.”

Well, honey? Our pain slut is willing to share this time with you.

Did you mean what you said?

About wanting to share this with you? Yes. I’ve wanted to quite some time.

“I ... I am curious to feel this first hand.” I’ve been a little curious for awhile to be honest.

“Pain slut, stand up and come here for a moment.”

“Yes Mistress.” Kara stood up and approached them.

Emanuel smiled, holding out her bronze claws. “It’s wonderful of you to be willing to share. Your mistress and I think it would even nicer if you were the one to show her why you like this so much. If you do...” he whispered.

“Then we’ll pull out the blades for you afterwards” Allison added, also in a whisper.

“Is ... she okay with this?”

“Take them and ask her yourself.”

“Yes Mistress.” Kara carefully took the set of claws, and walked to Vanessa. “Would you like me to use these on you?”

“Are ... are you sure?” And are you sure it won’t be too much?

“I’m sure.” And if you decide it’s become too much, just say the safe-word and I’ll stop right away.

“And this won’t effect your head space?”

Kara grinned. “No, this won’t have a negative impact on me.” I’m nowhere near as deep as I may appear. If I was much deeper, neither Allison or Emanuel would have suggested any of this. And Manny’s no doubt going to disappear downstairs to get water and chocolate as soon as we start. If you’re still interested, that is.

“Okay. I’d like that.” Kara smiled softly, then slipped the claws on. Those fit you perfectly!

Yes Mistress. “You may want to sit down for now. I’ll start on your back and arms.” Vanessa nodded, sat down on the bed, and gasped as the first claw touched her back. The remaining nine quickly joined it, causing her to arch her back slightly.

“Try not to move, honey. She’ll do her best to maintain full control of the claws, but if you move that might throw things off.”

“Oh ... okay.” Kara began the claws’ dance down Vanessa’s back, starting off with a fairly soft pressure. That doesn’t feel like what they were doing to you.

I’m starting off pretty soft because I don’t know what your pain tolerance for this type of play is. Mine is stupid high, so I can take a lot at once.

I can take more than that.

Okay then, tell me when it starts to become a little intense. Kara slowly ratcheted up the pressure until Vanessa started to seem to relax. I think I found the ‘melt’ setting.

Keep going mami` ... I didn’t expect this to be so ... relaxing.

I’m glad you’re enjoying this. Okay to move onto somewhere else?

Yes. Kara brought the claws back up to Vanessa’s shoulders, then down her arms. She relaxed even more, starting to fall forward as Kara continued. I can’t stay up like this for long.

That’s fine. Lie down on your back for now. Vanessa laid down; Kara resumed the dance of the claws down her arms and then onto her legs, easing up the pressure a little. Vanessa gasped softly, then moaned a little as the claws reached her inner thighs. I thought that might have a different response. Time to try the other likely fun spots. She continued the dance back up, stopping briefly when she got to Vanessa’s breasts. So your stomach is like most of you. Your ‘girls’ are next.

Gently please.

Of course. Kara eased her pressure again and began to explore Vanessa’s breasts with the claws. One moan became two, then four. A small scream leapt from her mouth as one of the claws traced her areola; a somewhat louder one followed as another found a nipple. Her dance continued up between Vanessa’s breasts and to her neck, eliciting another gasp and scream as they explored the front of it.

Two more loud screams, and several strong orgasms later Vanessa looked at her. “Enough ... I don’t think I can come again. Not after ... how many was that?”

Kara grinned. “I think four from you, and at least two from Mistress and myself. Expect more once I get my reward for being a good pain slut.”

Allison stepped forward. “Do you need us to pause this for a moment for some aftercare?”

“After ... oh right; it’s coming back to me a little slowly”

“No worries. Do you need any?”

“No, keep going. I just need a break from the direct stimulation.”

Kara glanced at Allison. “My turn, Mistress?”

“Yes. Back to your position.” Kara grinned, knelt next to Vanessa, and nodded her head. “Good.” She moaned softly as all twenty claws resumed their explorations; roaming from her back and butt around to her breasts and legs, randomly switching between long pulls and short, quick flicks. The moans became louder as Vanessa leaned forward and caught a nipple in her mouth, giving it a gentle bite, then began to suck and kiss wherever she could.

Thank you Mistress. Kara watched Vanessa’s eyes bug out slightly as Frederick and Andy came into view. Those are Frederick and Andy. Frederick is the Bowie; Andy is the little folding knife. They feel sooo good. She sighed happily as the tips of both blades began their work; going over many of the same places the claws had just been. What do you think?

Mami`, how does this not drive you crazy?!

Oh, it does. Don’t you feel that wonderful little wave in the background?

Little? If that’s little...

Just wait until... Kara screamed as the orgasm crashed through her, then grinned when the larger knife came to a rest. Here come a bigger one. Suddenly, both blades began a long, deep, and complex pull along her back. The second orgasm threatened to knock her off balance; Vanessa’s hands caught her and kept her up. Thank you.

So, was that the big one?

Nope. That was the medium one. There’s one more coming, because she’s been such a good girl.

Kara’s grin grew as both blades quickly executed a series of short but powerful strokes all the way down her back. Oh shit ... that’s the big one isn’t it.

Yup! The BIG one. Thank you Mistress.

You earned it. Last stroke coming up.

Kara waited for a few moments as the blades came to a stop, then drew in a deep breath and waited some more. Suddenly, when neither she nor Vanessa was expecting it, they were pulled down her back with considerable force; Kara grinned, the points digging into her. As they approached her hips, the massive building wave peaked and crashed through her, a near deafening scream leaping from her mouth. She closed her eyes for a moment and watched as her squirted stream downward met Vanessa’s upward one. Wait ... did we just...

Yes darling, you did. You also look like you’re about to fall.

Vanessa quickly helped Kara lay down on the bed. “Is that it?”

“Yes. My inner pain slut is satisfied for now.” Cuddles?

Of course darling. Manny, can you see to Vanessa?

Sure. “What do you feel like you need?”

“That chocolate looks really good, and then I think I need to cuddle with Kara.”

Kara smiled, took a piece of chocolate, and slowly ate it as she cuddled into Allison. “I like this idea.” Some moments later, she pulled Vanessa over and rested her head on one of her breasts. “This okay?”

Vanessa snuggled in as best she could and nodded. “Yes. I ... I haven’t ridden that high for too long.”

“That’s a large part of what makes scenes like that work. But if we’re not careful about the aftercare, the following crash down can be pretty hard.”

“I don’t remember our early experiences at the play parties having this strong of an effect.”

“Do you still remember what Will said back at the first one?” Allison asked. Vanessa nodded her head softly “This is the kind of response he was expecting.”

“That makes more sense, yeah.” She glanced at the knife Emanuel was wiping down. “Is that the knife you three bought that night?” He nodded his head. “I thought it looked familiar. And I remember now where I’ve seen Frederick too ... from the scene you did with Rosa after that convention.”

“We got him from one of the vendors there. If you still want that last round, we can do that after you’re both fully down.”

Vanessa smiled softly at Emanuel, then looked hungrily at his very erect penis. “Yes. Just, please tell me this isn’t a nightly thing anymore.”

“Multiple rounds of love making? No. Some nights we’re simply too tired after dealing with the monsters. Other nights, we don’t really have the time for more than one. But several times a week is usual.”

She grinned. “That, patron`, I think I can deal with.”

Don’t forget in the mornings sometimes ... and when one of our moms has them for the day, even mid-day!

That often?

“Not this kind of multi-round thing. Not since we were much younger. And that’s only because Allison is an insatiable slut.”

“That’s not fair darling ... I’m not just any slut. I’m the Queen of sluts.”

Vanessa giggled. “You two are so weird. But, I suppose you could call me the crown Princess of sluts.”

“See darling? She’s in good company then. We sluts know that sometimes we need to take care of each other. Speaking of...”

“I’m good. We can go to the final round if Kara is.”

Kara smiled and stood up. “As I said earlier, I wasn’t very deep.” She picked up the harness and slowly pulled it on, turning to Vanessa as she started to open her mouth. “I know ... I could have asked for help. But sometimes, I need to feel like I can still do things for myself. Not that most doctors seem to acknowledge that.”

“They assume that just because you’re pregnant, that means you’re some fragile flower. Utter madness.”

“Exactly, my muse. Now, are we all ready?”

Vanessa looked back at Emanuel. “I think he needs a little encouragement.” She sat up, moved closer to him, and with one swift motion took all of his penis into her mouth. She gave it a few quick bobs, then pulled her head back up. “Is ... that what it feels like for guys?”

“Yup.”

“No wonder you all love them so much.” She turned back to Kara. “Okay, he’s ready.”

Kara nodded and lowered herself onto him, grinning broadly. “I love how much my pillar’s pillar fills me. Now, if you go on your hands and knees in front of me...” She laughed softly at the speed at which Vanessa lined herself up. “Good. I may not be able to thrust much, so...”

“That’s fine. I can push back to compensate.” She put the tip of the dildo at her opening and pushed back, sighing contentedly as it filled her. “It almost feels like the real thing.”

“It’s a pretty new material. Best of both worlds, really.” Kara gasped as Emanuel started his short thrusts. “And once Manny gets going ... so heavenly.”

“You can say...” Vanessa started, then was interrupted by a small orgasm “that again.”

“Let me try something.” Kara lifted forward slightly in a thrust, then pulled back down again, moaning as the subtle change in angle sent a small orgasm through her. “I ... can’t do too many of those ... but...”

“Yes please! Can you also...”

“I can just barely reach Allison’s like this. You’re a little too tall for me to do that at the moment.” Once these two are born and this belly shrinks back though ... happily.

You may not be able to, but... Allison climbed on top of Emanuel straddling his face, and reached forward; grabbing Vanessa’s breasts but I can.
