Recovery, Thoughts, and Conversation
The girls were excited to see me again, and amidst the hugs of happiness, I still felt the strong presence of their lower extremities. No one acted upon them, and I told the women what happened to me while I was in Vinars Presence. They were all genuinely angry about that as I told them what had happened to me.
What happened afterward was a whole lot of nothing with Snuggles all around on the bed. No one wanted to leave to do anything, and the alarm to sign off soon went off in my ear. It was a wasted day, most would say, but I felt a lot better in all their arms, comforting me. It was something I didn't want to think too deeply about at this time.
Vinar had done a number to me, and I didn't think even if we went out, we could have gotten much done today. By the time we made it to the adventurers guild, we would have had to turn around and walk back to the Inn. Megan was absent today, too, but we made shameless use of the free room she gave us.
Soon sleepy profiles littered the room, and in a giant pile of feminine bodies, I passed out feeling their comforting embrace. I fell asleep logging out in that pile with a smile on my face.
The pod lid lifted, and a face greeted me as my eyes opened slowly. Victoria looked down at me with a soft worried smile. "Are you okay?" Victoria asked, her expression worried.
"Yeah, I guess I am already," I told her honestly. The snuggles from all the women in my gaming life helped me feel better. Even Gloom wasn't being sadistic, trying to tease me while she could. "The snuggles helped," I said with a large smirk.
Victoria smiled herself, and I reached out to the hand that she offered. I got up inside the pod and used the help she provided to me. I got out of the pod quickly with her help. Victoria's smile grew as I got out, and she hugged me again. The snuggles and hugs came in a constant flow, making me smile wryly.
I hugged Victoria back quickly, and I smiled up into her eyes. "Let me go get a massage first, then; I am still feeling a bit sensitive," I told her. I wasn't even lying; I was still feeling sensitive, and I didn't like that one bit.
Victoria nodded, and I took the first massage of the night. I was soon happily under the magic Fingers of Gabby. Gabby being her usual self, reduced me to a moaning mess almost in ecstasy with her fingers in no time at all. I felt a lot less sensitive from the torture I had received inside the pod.
It was amazing, and Gabby smiled as I thanked her before heading back to my room. I had an appointment with the shower, and I was startled out of my thoughts as Victoria gave me a quick peck on the lips as she went past me into the waiting fingers of Gabby. I smiled quickly as I gathered myself from the surprise. Victoria couldn't see that, though, as she had already entered the room to be reduced to a moaning mess on her own.
I continued my way to the shower and started to clean myself up. My thoughts were moving from the relaxation I was in earlier. I began to think about the problems with my companies unwillingly. It also gave a distraction from what was happening in the game world.
The Finacial researchers were finding worrying signs that something might not be correct. It was a troubling sign, but when your companies and investments reach a certain size, things reach a new complication. With a single messed-up digit, a million dollars can go missing. That was both harder and easier than most people would think, though. That was why I was looking for professionals to help me with it. Math was part of my previous trade, but Accounting was another beast than engineering. They were in their own element than engineering. It was also a headache looking through all the spreadsheets that the companies I control.
Still, I followed my instincts, and as things continued, the stink in it smelled worse rather than better. It wasn't very pleasant since I trust so many of the people that worked for me. I believed in giving people the room to thrive in. Cheating me was not something I could allow to happen, though. I couldn't allow that to happen no matter what I was feeling at the time. If some employees needed money, they could come to me and make their case. I was not above everyone else. I had a middle-class family growing up, and I knew shit happens, and you might need help.
"Stealing from me was another matter," I said out loud in the shower as I washed off the oils and stink of laying in the pod all day. My thoughts about the company came to an end, allowing the excitement of what tomorrow night would bring. The date with Victoria was something I was looking forward to.
Honestly, It was the first date in my life I was looking forward to. I never cared for these types of things before, and it was an anticipation that I had never felt before. I allowed that to carry me till I finished up my shower. With anticipation, I thought of what I was going to do today. I decided that I think this week we should have that laser tag game too. The winner gets something, and the person with the lowest score has to do something I think would be the best. Myself and the ladies would probably like something like that. It was the standard of what we did in college too.
Keeping to that would be interesting as well. Victoria was good at laser tag, though. I would have to watch out for that. My thoughts ran full tilt about the possible things to happen as I dried off in the shower and felt a bit frisky. It was weird that the thought came out of nowhere. I wanted to do something with Victoria tonight, though. I was anticipating after dinner where we could find some time in her room to play together.
Tomorrow in the game, we would be searching for a new team tank to help us. Tonight though, I could play with Victoria, and I was anticipating the play with her. Knowing how Victoria was acting, she would most definitely be in the mood too. I stepped out and moved to the closet. I looked through my clothes, and I noticed a severe lack of clothes to tempt Victoria.
The last thought made me pause visibly. I looked at all the male clothing in my closet, and I realized I wanted things that would make Victoria want to jump me in delight and lust. It was something I had never contemplated before, and I only had that one outfit that I purchased. It was nothing to write about. My closet was barren of anything that I could tempt her with; instead, It was full of suits and casual clothing. It was disappointing to me. I wanted to get Victoria turned on and have some fun times tonight. I didn't think I needed to dress up for Victoria, but I really wanted to wear something spicy. Even more, I wanted it to be a surprise. The sudden feeling I felt in that way was a complete surprise to me.
I contemplated it only for a bit and came to a decision. I smiled as I did come to a conclusion, and it was something I was already planning on going to. I looked forward to the Date even more as I put on some casual clothes.
I moved towards my office, and I began to read the reports coming in. I had emails piling up, and I began to read. I started to enter a trance as I read the Emails sent to me detailing information and digging deeper.
I felt arms wrap around me, pulling me out of a report on the England companies I was invested in. The financial investigator found something there that they didn't like among the expenditure reports. They actually had found some low-level employees gaming the company for extra money in travel expenses and things like that. It wasn't something I really cared about, to be honest, and I was in the middle of sending an email back to hold onto the information but to do nothing with it at this point.
I looked up and found the arms belonging to Victoria. She looked back down into my eyes, and our lips met in a nice kiss. Our lips clung to each other for a minute before they broke, and the smile matched on each other's faces. "So, Found anything?" Victoria asked with curiosity.
"Nothing major, Just some employees in England gaming the Travel expenses system; I honestly would be happy to let them go on doing it. They are good employees on record and are more than worth the extra expenses." I replied, "At least that was what the manager's reports are saying about them. I will probably sit on the information. A couple hundred every couple of months or so is no problem as long as they do their job to the level of satisfaction the managers are reporting. Hell, The managers are the ones that probably signed off on it and didn't report it higher up." I said wryly, "Cannot say I am happy with the last thought, though." I admitted.
"Well, You are looking for much bigger fish than some low-level employees among your companies. You coming down on them would be a little overkill," Victoria chuckled, moving around the chair to sit on the arm and my lap. Her arm then wrapped behind my neck, "Let's talk about something more important though," Victoria began, "Laser tag; when can I put everyone in their place; you were thinking?" Victoria said, and I laughed out loud.
"I think this Friday like everyone was thinking before. It doesn't matter if there are kids there. We can just have a ton of fun and shoot them. If we get our asses handed to us, though, we might put in another punishment bet into the fold," I finished with a smirk.
"We need to get Gabby and Li in on this conversation right away," Victoria replied, turning serious her competitive side coming out, "I want this suggestion to go through!" Victoria's tone was serious, and she moved towards the kitchen Just as Li called out that dinner was ready.
I followed and chuckled, watching Victoria's ass move away in a hurry. I am sure dinner will be enjoyable. I followed along behind that ass towards the dinner table myself.
Soon, we all sat around the Dinner table with a good meal of steak and asparagus with some mixed vegetables. It was a delicious meal to eat. There was some paired wine if we wanted it. I refrained from the Alcohol, as did Victoria. Gabby took a glass, though, as did Li. They both took the red wine into their mouths, taking a simple sip with smiles as we all ate dinner together.
"So I thought we would go this Friday to laser tag like we discussed yesterday. I can call something nearby to see if they have the opening for four adults looking to act like children again for a couple of games," I said with a smirk.
Gabby and Li both chuckled while I got a stern eye from Victoria for being so crass as to call us acting like children. "Bah, Acting like adults is boring, and you know it," Victoria cut in a while, still giving me the stern eye. "You need to lighten up and act like a kid. Being free-spirited and letting go to have fun is not only fun; It is good for you!" She finished her point loudly before cutting into her steak with a much happier expression getting her point across. "I have too little time to act like I am in college or a kid again. I need it, so I can act like an adult once in and a while." Victoria finished.
Li and Gabby were nodding in thought. "You know the science on fitness actually says a lot of the same thing, Rick." Li cut in, "When tennis players are learning how to do new things, they have things they like to learn and hate to learn. They split them up into what they enjoy practicing and what they hate. That way, they can learn both. They need less time to learn what they enjoy over what they hate. That is the reason why you study better if you take breaks to enjoy yourself a little too. If you cut up that time into having fun and working, you will find your efficiency is better." Li said, looking at me with happiness to talk about it. "I always saw more progress in the training routines of athletes when they adopted this practice as well." She finished.
"I am not against fun, Victora, Li." I said, "I seem to be the one planning the outing, and I am looking forward to it myself," I said levelly, looking at them sternly before leaning back and smirking. "I am just riling Victoria up since I know she feels passionate about it," I said with a smirk.
I could see Victoria twitch a little, and I had heard her rants back in college about the importance of fun. In fact, I gladly took her advice, and now I am rich with her methods. Listening to a genius about studying and how to break it up to do better was one of the smartest things I ever did, Not to mention the fact that it saved my sanity multiple times on crunch weeks in school.
"You are going to pay later," Victoria said with a glower in good fun before smiling again. The meal was light-hearted, and we were all enjoying ourselves, "So which place have you picked?" Victoria asked.
"I haven't picked one yet, to be honest, I was getting into my emails reading over some reports before dinner. I will do some research before picking after dinner." I replied as we all continued to eat the meal before us. "Still, I got till a couple of days. If you want, you can suggest a place I might not know about too. I won't just pick any place, though let's try to find a good place that will be an enjoyable experience." I finished taking a drink of water from in front of me.
"That is a good idea; in fact, if you want, I can take over the plans," Gabby said, joining the conversation. "I have nothing to do the next to days as I have finished most of my plans outside. I would just be looking into maybe taking some classes in an online college or something. I would love to plan this for all of us." Gabby said.
The agreement was all around, and I nodded, "Thank you, Gabby, give me any receipts also, and I will compensate you for it." I told her. "I also really am happy you're taking this off my shoulders. I have a lot going on with my company, and I should be spending more time than I am working on it." I confessed, "But," I continued turning to look at Victoria, "I am addicted to the game world," I made another confession.
Victoria smiled, and the conversation flowed into different avenues. Li started to tell us that she was looking into making a fast-food chain that would only be healthy foods. I was surprised by that, and I listened to her expiration on it.
The night flowed, and soon food filled our bellies as the conversation started to wrap up. It was a good meal with roommates in my apartment high in the sky with the busy streets below. The entire time I saw Victoria looking at me wanting. Although she never stated that she wanted action. I could see the want in her eyes. I smiled, knowing that I wanted that too, and tonight would be enjoyable for the both of us.
