Chapter 4

“Jake and Béla; Frank and Tanya; Macario and Lisa; Jake the Chairman and Tabatha. Alicia is unattached, as is her oldest daughter, Jackie. Strangely enough, although their bodies are altered by vampire blood just like ours are, those two seem to have lower sex drives than Béla, Tanya or Lisa. Why is that?”

“Well, Alicia and Jackie are really smart,” Murielle replied, “like us – you and me, I mean. For example: Holly and Haley? Total fruit loops, know what I mean? And Tia and Tara? God! How horny can two girls get?”

“I like sex,” Miranda protested. “Remember that wake we held for Lisa? Wow! I still feel tingly just thinking about that!”

“That’s what I mean,” her sister replied. “Except for Macario, that’s the last time we had sex. And Horry and Harey were always hogging Macario – at least until Lisa came back.”

“We should have offered to do Jake and Béla,” Miranda murmured.

“Tia wanted to seduce her matriarch, remember?” Murielle reminded her.

“Oh, yeah,” Miranda remembered.

“I think we should try to make better friends with Alicia and Jackie,” Miranda suggested. “They’re brainy, like us, and who knows? Maybe we’ll end up with better partners.”

“Sounds like a plan to me,” her sister agreed.

“Me? Brainy?” Alicia laughed, looking from one twin to the other. “You’re very sweet, but I’m not all that smart!”

“Sure you are!” Miranda insisted. “Who made the Grotto? You did. Who had the foresight to know that people would need an underground hidey-hole like Solar City twenty years before anybody else thought of it? You did.”

“You weren’t even born then!” Alicia exclaimed.

“It doesn’t matter!” Murielle insisted. “We want you to train us for the Femme Fatales. We want to be your students.”

“I’m just a student, myself,” Alicia laughingly reminded them. “Wouldn’t you rather have Béla? Or perhaps Lisa? She was your guide and mentor, before.”

“Lisa’s training Tia and Tara!” whined Miranda. “Besides, her lessons have a lot of bloodshed that goes with them. Even Holly and Haley couldn’t handle it and quit on her!”

“I see,” Alicia replied thoughtfully. “So, you want all us timid ones to stick together, huh? Force in numbers and all that?”

“Well, I suppose, if you want to look at it that way, you can,” Murielle said, scowling. “But we’ve thought about this really hard. And you are the most intelligent and the most creative of all the Femmes.”

“Yeah,” piped in Miranda. “And you have other things on your mind besides sex!”

Alicia laughed, thoroughly delighted with them, now. “You have no idea ... Darlings, I think about sex all the time. But I’ve already had the best – and I don’t care to hunt up some male body just to handle my hormonal urges.”

“See?” Murielle said to her twin. “She likes guys. We’d be safe with her!”

“What?” Alicia asked, her eyebrows rising. “Is someone molesting you?”

“Well,” Miranda replied, her voice sounding meaner. “Everyone has ideas. People look at us and think we’re Lisa’s and that we’re all sex crazy.

“Well, she taught us a lot, especially about sex. Now, we’d like to learn something else – maybe something more important.”

“Me, too!”

“Alright, girls,” Alicia replied, caving in. “I’ll represent you. Both, if you want. But you’ll have to share quarters – I assume you don’t have your own?”

“Well, no,” Miranda replied, concentrating. “The six of us always shared. But the Necrotwins is ... as a group, anyway, um, breaking up, I guess. Tia and Tara moved back in with Mac and Lisa, which is where we were, too, but we want to move out. It’s getting too crowded.”

“Yeah,” Murielle agreed, sounding somewhat surly. “This morning I woke up with a skewer stuck in my rump!”

“A skewer?” Alicia asked, raising her eyebrows.

“Yeah! You know,” exclaimed the girl, “one of those long wooden things you put meat on for, uh, grilling? Tia thought that was ‘ooh, sooo funny’!”

“She stuck a skewer up your ass?”

“No! She stuck it...” Murielle fumed, not knowing how to explain, then stuck her finger into her thick, meaty rump on her right side. “Right there! She said I was snoring! And I certainly don’t snore!”

“Oh,” Alicia grunted, trying not to snicker at the image Murielle unknowing projected. “That must have... (ahem!) ... hurt, huh?”

Glancing at Murielle’s twin, Alicia noticed that Miranda was being very quiet, and her mind was shut down tight. She suspected that Miranda didn’t really share her twin’s upset about being so hilariously skewered. But, she noticed, Miranda was supporting Murielle in her decision to leave the group.

‘Well, that’s what sisters are for, right?’

“Listen, um, Murielle,” Alicia replied. “You girls all love each other. And I know you like the relationships you have with them – especially the sex part. I understand that the dynamics of your group are changing, and you two are upset about new alliances that your sisters are forming.

“You feel left behind by your best friends,” Alicia continued. “I understand that – more than you might think. I’ll take you in, because I adore you both. But I don’t want you to build a wall between you two and the other sets of twins. If I notice any stress or strife between any of you, you’ll be getting extra lessons in social etiquette. And that, girls, is something with which I have a great deal of expertise.”

“Forewarned is forearmed,” Miranda quipped, smiling nervously.

Almost simultaneously, the girls dropped down, one on each side of where Alicia was sitting. “May we kiss you?” Murielle asked.

“What?” Alicia said, surprised by their actions.

“We want to kiss you,” Miranda answered. “Isn’t that part of the bonding ritual? You agreed to take us in, so now we show our appreciation.”

“By seducing me?” Alicia asked, still surprised. ‘Oh my God, Lisa – What did you teach these girls?’

‘What? ... What do you want? I’m pretty busy... ‘ (heavy sexual undertones... )

“ ... So seduction is part of the bonding process,” one of the twins was saying as Alicia came back to reality.

“But we won’t if you don’t want to,” the other one said, obviously nervous about being rejected.

“Oh, God,” Alicia groaned, hugging both girls to her bosom.

‘I think this means ‘yes’, ‘ she heard one twin think to the other.

‘Good! Now we can show her we mean it, ‘ the other answered.

“Wait,” Alicia called out as the girls pressed her back and began working their hands under her blouse.

As her mind was flooded with erotic images of what the girls wanted to do to her, Alicia realized that Lisa had, indeed, raised them with the intention of taking the place of a fallen Femme if it ever became necessary. Lisa had also given them the power to persevere while accomplishing that task.

Then soft, feminine kisses were caressing her bared breasts and her nipples were getting all tingly as Alicia’s body reminded her that it hadn’t had any sexual adventures since she was arrested for treason and those unclean ruffians had tried to gang-rape her in her jail cell.

Her mother had rescued her then, but Alicia didn’t think Tanya was going to show up and rescue her this time. For one, she obviously wasn’t in any danger, and for the other, she was actually beginning to enjoy these two with their extremely expert lips, tongues and fingers. (Aside from the fact that she’d been terrified of the idea that her jailers were going to execute her, she had just been getting excited about being gang-raped when her mother showed up, but that was a secret she didn’t plan on telling anyone.)

Murielle gasped with obvious arousal, raising her head to stare at Alicia for a second. “Wow! She blew them up with a hand grenade?”

Alicia stared down at her new lovers, suddenly realizing that they’d mind-linked with her so as to better experience her sensations and share their love with her. But because of that, her thoughts and secrets were no longer her own. These two were as telepathically powerful as Lisa had been during their first (and only) tryst.

Her memories of a young Lisa trying her best to learn how to handle her sexual needs mixed in with the twins’ memories of having sex with Lisa for the first time. Alicia realized that these two were going to need a lot of ‘UN-training’, if they planned to stay with her for very long.

Then she could see the twins’ memories of a carefree life where they would tumble with their friends whenever they felt like having sex. They weren’t used to any kind of restrictions. She could also see they were beginning to think they’d made a mistake in trying to ally themselves with her instead of trying to make up with the other girls.

Alicia grinned. “Of course you made a mistake – not in coming here, but in not making up with your dearest friends. They love you, and you obviously love them. But you didn’t make a mistake in coming here. I’ll help you get through this, I promise.”

‘And maybe teach you two a little self-control along the way, hmm?’

The twins sat, one on each side of her, uncertain, now, of what to do. Alicia smiled and held out her arms, beckoning them down to her. Both of them radiating gratitude mixed with sexual ardor, they returned their lips and fingers to Alicia’s breasts, continuing where they’d left off a moment earlier.

Alicia lay back and enjoyed their sensual message, realizing that this was how they intended to repay her kindness to them – they were Lisa’s prodigies, after all, trained by Lisa since childhood on how to survive in an unfriendly world. They were taught to rely on their sexuality and seductive abilities to get them what they wanted.

The twins licked and kissed their way down to Alicia’s navel. Then Alicia felt fingers caressing her lower belly and one leg. The new sensation caused her to gasp and her body began to tingle all over. Almost unconsciously she spread her legs slightly to allow access down there.

Then she was no longer in the chair she’d been resting in when the twins had arrived – she was lying in the sun. A soft blanket was spread beneath her to keep dirt off her skin. The odd buzz of a thought dampener told her she was in the Grotto – hopefully on the adult side of it.

“Surprise,” Murielle grinned.

“We thought this would be more romantic,” Miranda quipped.

“You’re also more accessible when you’re flat on the ground,” Murielle added, still grinning.

“And we really like you being accessible,” Miranda laughed, finishing her sister’s sentence.

Then they both ran their fingers down Alicia’s rib cage from her armpits to her sexy, soft middle, making her giggle as they tickled her and lips, tongue and fingers once again attacked her breasts and sensitive nipples while another warm, breathy mouth began sensuously caressing her inner thighs. Magic fingers created little runnels of pure pleasure up and down her lower stomach.

Alicia did her best to lie still without twitching, not needing to know who was doing what to her, but several little whimpers and gasps of pleasure escaped her throat as the twins brought her closer and closer to completion, even while some small part of her mind was ever busy analyzing their actions and what they were doing to her.
