Chapter 5 - Charming a Friend

A/N: The second chapter in just over a week! I'm hoping to keep this up for at least one more chapter. Also, I'm fast running out of charming chapter titles.
Content for this chapter: oral, fingering, rimming

The next morning, I woke with my jaw still feeling slightly sore. As I stretched and looked around, I was thankful Veronica kept the house warm, because I was lying at the foot end of the bed, and none of us had thought to pull up the covers before we fell asleep, rather later than I had hoped. At first I thought I was the first to wake up, but then I saw that Veronica's eyes were open. When she notice me looking at her, she smiled and put a finger to her lips, nodding at Verity, who was sprawled across half the bed and snoring slightly.

A glance at the alarm clock showed that it was 11 A.M. already, and I had to stop myself from jerking upright. Gesturing at Veronica to follow me, I got up, careful not to wake Verity, and quietly left the room. Outside in the hallway, I was momentarily lost.

"Where's the living room?" I whispered to Veronica.

"Just follow me," she said, smiling as she walked down the hall. I did, admiring the view of her ass swaying as she walked. I tried to pay more attention to the house's layout now than I had last night, and after a short walk we arrived back in the living room.

"I guess you need to leave soon so you can meet with Yumi," Veronica said turning toward the kitchen, "but you should at least eat something before you leave. What would you like?"

"I guess I should. Just some cereal or something is fine, though." I made to open a kitchen cabinet, but Veronica turned to me and pushed me toward the kitchen table.

"Have a seat, please, I'll get it." I did, and a minute later we were sitting across from each other at the table, each with a bowl of cereal and a cup of pretty good coffee.

"Thanks," I said before starting.

"No problem. You've had a busy week, and you are a guest here. Though I suppose you'll be spending a lot of time here from now on. Verity will want you close, I think."

"That's probably true." I thought about yesterday's clothes, still lying in the closet in the entry hall, and continued, "I should probable move some of my clothes here, then. People will notice if I'm wearing the same clothes every day. Plus a toothbrush and stuff." I ran my tongue over my teeth.

"I'll arrange some closet space for you, then. And I'll make sure the guest bedrooms have fresh linens and everything. I've been sleeping in Verity's room the past week, and you joined us last night, but if she keeps adding to her... harem, eventually we won't all fit in the same bed anymore."

I nodded. I hadn't thought about it too much, but it was true. It was pretty obvious that Verity was planning to have sex with all the women we recruited. On the one hand, it was a little disappointing that I, and Veronica, would soon no longer be the only ones serving her. On the other hand, it would be nice to have some other like-minded women around. Including Yumi.

Soon, breakfast was finished and Veronica had cleared the dishes away. I'd have to leave soon if I wanted to be home in time for Yumi to pick me up, so I said my goodbyes to Veronica, told her to take good care of Verity while I was gone, and headed out, pausing only put my clothes back on before heading out the door.

***

I was home ten minutes before Yumi arrived, and after she congratulated me on my promotion again, we decided to go shopping first, for some clothes to wear that night. An hour later, having caught up with each other's lives on the way, we were in the dressing room of the first shop of the day, and I decided to put the plan into motion.

As Yumi was taking off her jeans I rummaged in my purse and turned to her, holding up a golden snowflake on a delicate chain.

"I almost forgot!" I lied, "I've got something I think would look really nice on you for tonight."

She looked away from the mirror to look at the charm. "That's nice. Where did you get that?"

"Oh, it's something my boss gave me last week. You know, when I had to fill in for my predecessor. She gave it to me to go with my new 'professional outfit'. Look, I've got another one," I lifted the silver chain out of my shirt, "but I think that this one would look nice on you. We'll match!" I smiled at her.

She examined it for a moment. "Well, I suppose it'll look nice if I wear something with some cleavage. So that means I shouldn't get this one," she said, putting aside one of the dresses she'd picked out.

"It will! Here, put it on, let me see how it looks." I handed it to her and she turned to the mirror and put it on. It lay against her sternum, just between the tops of her breasts.

"It's nice. You sure you want to lend this to me?"

"Of course! I can't wear both of them, and this one looks good on you." I turned to the mirror as well, and held a dark green dress in front of myself. "What do you think?"

"Not really your color. Let's see another one..."

***

Several hours and a lot of shopping later, we'd dropped off our purchases in the car, had a nice dinner and were waiting in line at the cinema. We were dressed in our normal street clothes, having decided to save our dresses until we went to the club. I couldn't be sure, but I was pretty sure that Yumi was already becoming more inclined to follow my suggestions. She'd immediately agreed with my choice of dinner, for example, even though it usually took us at least fifteen minutes to come to a decision we were both happy with. Still, I decided play it safe and not push things with unusual requests and let the necklace's influence — if I was even correct in that it was starting to work — settle until at least that night.

When I expressed my preference for a movie Yumi had sounded unsure about two weeks ago, she agreed immediately.

***

The movie wasn't as good as I'd hoped, though I'd still enjoyed myself. Yumi and I discussed the movie on the way to the car, and seemed to mostly agree on the high and low points.

As we buckled ourselves in, my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked Yumi, "So, a while ago you thought you wouldn't like this movie. Why go see it anyway?"

"Oh, because you chose it." Ah, that was encouraging. "We're doing this to celebrate your promotion, right?" Ah, right. Still nothing conclusive. "Anyway, I don't regret it. It wasn't great, but it was okay. Now if we can only get through this traffic. I want to get home and get dressed to go out. I want to show off my new dress!"

***

 The music was thumping around me. I leaned against the bar and wiped my forehead. I'd spent the last two hours exerting myself on the dancefloor, and was happy to take a few minutes of rest. Yumi was still going, dancing flirtatiously with a cute redhead. Occasionally, there would be a glint front her cleavage as the light caught the snowflake.

I'd always liked to watch her; ever since we'd met there'd been a bit of physical attraction, but even thought she was my best friend I'd never really had any desire for more than friendship. Now, suddenly, I had all kinds of new thoughts about her. We always talked to each other about our relationships, even about the sex a bit, but never in any detail. For someone who was plenty sexually active, in relationships and the occasional one night stand, Yumi was rather private about her sex life, and I had never really been all that interested in specifics.

I realized that soon, she'd answer me, honestly and completely, if I asked her details. Sure, it was borrowed authority, and I was really only supposed to use the influence I got from my necklace to help Verity, but knowing that I'd have that kind of influence over Yumi was suddenly a very attractive thought, and I squirrelled it away — together with a question about what this means about my attitude towards Veronica — to be thought about when I was feeling a little more sober.

The bartender gave me my drink just as the song ended, and with a last look at her dance partner, Yumi walked off the floor and over to me.

"So, you having fun?" she asked, signaling the bartender for a drink.

"'Yeah, It's been too long since the two of us went out together like this. I shifted my weight, trying to take some pressure off my feet, and continued, "But I think I'm about done now. Dancing is hard work."

"Well, I'm about done, too. You want to sleep over at my place? It's a lot closer."

"That'd be great. I must admit, I'm a little surprised you're done already. From the way you were dancing just now I thought you'd want to keep going."

"Oh, it was fun, but you know..." she waved a hand vaguely, "I only broke up with Tim three weeks ago. If I kept dancing and drinking, I'm pretty sure I would end up taking someone home, and I'm not interested in that just yet."

I nodded. Yumi and Tim's breakup hadn't been traumatic or anything, it'd just fizzled out because of distance, but she was still in recovery mode. One he reasons I was happy I'd be able to introduce her to Verity: I was sure that the satisfaction of working for her would be good for Yumi.

"Well then," I announced, putting down my empty glass, "Let's get a cab and retire for the evening."

***

The next morning, I woke up — on Yumi's futon — because the sun was shining in into my face. I got up, took look in Yumi's room — she was still asleep, curled up in her blankets — and went to make some breakfast. I was still pretty familiar in her apartment, though it'd been a while — what with being busy at work and Yumi's relationship with Tim — since I'd spent the night.

Yumi came into the kitchen just as I was buttering toast, summoned by the smell of fresh coffee. After greeting each other we sat down and had a quite breakfast. From a quick glance at her pajama top I could see she was still wearing the necklace, and I smiled inwardly.

"So, you have anything planned for today?" I asked her.

"Nah, just a quiet Sunday. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, I've got a surprise for you. There's someone you really should meet. We should go after lunch, when we're both properly awake."

"Oh, who is it? Someone famous?"

"No, nothing like that. I just think you'd like meeting her. Trust me."

I could see that she was still curious, but she shrugged and said, "OK, if you think so. But only after I've had a shower."

I was only a little surprised at how few questions Yumi asked. The necklace must be working. I'd have to tell her that she didn't have to immediately do as I said about everything, but for now it was really helpful in getting her to do as Verity had asked.

We spent the rest of the morning catching up; it wasn't as if we didn't text and email, but it was still nice to be able to talk properly, face to face, after several weeks of little contact.

***

I drove us to Veronica's house while Yumi sat next to me, obviously curious but restraining herself from asking. By the time we'd passed the gate — Veronica had given me a key — and were nearing the end of the driveway, she was frowning in confusion. When I opened the front door with the other key Veronica had given me, she could no longer restrain herself.

"OK, seriously. I have no idea who you want me to meet. Whose house is this?"

"It belongs to my boss, Veronica Williamson. But that's not who we're here to meet," I said, trying to look enigmatic as I stepped into the entry hall.

"Then who-"

"You'll see in a minute," I interrupted her while undoing the buttons on my shirt, "and you should undress. You can put your clothes in the closet here. And don't worry." I raised my hand to stop yet another question, then continued, "I'll be naked too. It's the rule."

Yumi looked at me dubiously for a moment, but then she began to undress, as well. She'd dressed up a little — I hadn't wanted to tell her it would be unnecessary — and she was wearing black pants and a rather nice billowy green shirt, which she quickly removed and put on a shelf, carefully folded. When she saw that I was taking off my underwear, she did so as well.

In a minute, we were both naked. I looked her up and down quickly — I'd seen her naked a few times, while getting dressed and such, but not for very long — and decided Verity would be pleased. Athletic figure — I knew she ran a minimum of ten miles at least twice a week — very small but perky breasts, and a neat landing strip of pubic hair. Plus her gorgeously long hair, now loose. I caught Yumi looking me up and down, then saw her expression twitch as she caught me doing the same. Without another hand, I waved a hand and led the way into the living room.

 Veronica must have heard us come in, because standing by the couch waiting for us, a book face-down on the coffee table and her bra hung over the back of a chair.

"Hi, Anne. And you must be Yumi. I'm Veronica Williamson. You can just call me Veronica. We're all here for the same reason, after all."

Yumi turned and looked at me, eyes wide. "What's going on here? Why is she naked?"

Veronica chuckled. "You haven't even told her why she's here yet? Well, Yumi, I'm naked for the same reason you two are: Verity told met to be. And from the look of confusion on your face, I guess you have no idea who I'm talking about. Don't worry, I've called her when I heard your car drive up, so she'll be here any minute now."

Yumi still looked bewildered and a little anxious, so I put a calming hand on her shoulder and decided to explain a little.

"You know this necklace I gave you?" I began, lifting it up slightly. "You can see Veronica and I are wearing one as well. They mean Verity has chosen us. When you see her, you'll know, but you already feel something similar towards me: you want to obey her and help her. I'm really glad she agreed with me to choose you, so that we can do this together."

"I... Er... I have been feeling like I want to do what you say! I didn't really think about it, but I just stripped down when you told me to just now!" She frowned. "That's not something I'd normally do, right?"

I smiled and pulled her against me.

"No, it's not. But as long as you wear that necklace, you'll want to obey the wearer of the bracelet it belongs to, and also the wearer of the silver charm." I pointed at it, around my neck. "That'd be me."

A look of understanding came over her face. "Oh! Yes, that makes sense!"

Veronica smiled at her, and interjected, "There's more detail to it, but tat can wait. I think I can hear Verity now."

I heard faint footsteps from the hallway to the stairs, and then the door opened and Verity entered, wearing a very short black skirt and a (black, of course) shirt that left her midriff bare. Her eyes immediately went to Yumi,
and she walked over to her slowly, examining every inch of her. Yumi opened her mouth to speak when Verity came within arm's reach of her, but Verity spoke first.

"You must be Yumi. No, you don't need to talk yet. Just let me take a good look at you."

I stepped away as Verity slowly circled around Yumi, lifting her hair out of the way to get a good look at her back and butt, then running her hands trough it as she let it fall back. When she stepped back in front of Yumi, she smirked.

"Good choice, Anne. This," she stroked a finger over Yumi's strip of pubic hair, "will have to go, of course, but you look great, Yumi. You can talk now, by the way."

"Er... Right, boss," she said, a little uncertainly, "I'm happy to be here, of course, but why am I here exactly? What am I supposed to do?"

Verity let out a laugh, then as she took Yumi's arm and led her further into the room, onto the soft rug in the center, said, "Whatever I tell you to, of course. Oh, Anne and Veronica have thought up this whole plan, but they can tell you about that later."

She stroked Yumi's hair, having to reach up slightly, then went on, "For now, you just need to know the big rule: when you're here in the house or somewhere with me without outsiders around, I expect you to be naked. I like my eye candy. You understand that?"

"Sure, boss." Yumi still looked a little dazed; I recognized it as how I had felt the first time I met Verity.

"I like that. 'Boss'. Veronica and Anne just call me Verity, but that's a good word, too. Now, there's something you can do for me right now." She put her hands on Yumi's shoulders and pushed her down. "Kneel. Right like that. And now-" She lifted up the front of her skirt with one hand — showing that she wasn't wearing underwear — and took hold of Yumi's head with the other, pulling her forward. "Show me what you can do."

Yumi got the idea immediately and set to her task enthusiastically. She grasped Verity's thighs with her hand to hold her steady and smothered herself against Verity's bare pussy. With the skirt and Yumi's head in the way, I couldn't see much of what she was doing, but Verity almost immediately started breathing hard, unsteady on her legs, and tangled both her hands in Yumi's hair to hold her in place.

I watched for a minute, feeling myself grow hot, until I saw Veronica from the corner from my eye. Se was splitting her attention between Yumi's performance and myself, and was slowly caressing the outside of her pussy. When she saw my look at her, she took my hand and pulled me over to an armchair. She turned it so that it was facing Verity and Yumi — who were paying us no attention — and sat down, pulling me with her so that we ended up next to each other, sides pressed together.

She leaned into me and, lips by my ear, murmured, "It looks like Verity won't need us for a little while."

From the sounds Verity was making, I was pretty sure Veronica was right and I also had I pretty good idea what she meant. I freed my arm from where it was trapped between us, and moved my hand to her leg, tracing patterns with my fingertips. Veronica leaned into me and did the same. I shivered as her fingers ran up my thigh and used what limited space I had to open my legs slightly.

Beside me, Veronica shifted in her seat and gave my fingers more access, as well. I deliberately didn't look at her as I move my hand up and slipped my index finger inside her, but kept my gaze firmly fixed on Verity and Yumi. By now, Verity had closed her eyes and as holding onto Yumi's head more for balance than to hold her in place. Veronica reciprocated without speaking, grazing a finger over my clit before slowly pushing it inside, the slowly moving it in and out in time with the movements of my own finer inside herself. We continued for a few minutes, never varying our slow movements and growing steadily wetter.

It was only when I heard a gasp followed by a "Wha- Oooo," from Verity that I had been looking at the pair of them without really seeing them, lost in the warmth of Veronica's side pressed into mine, her breath by my ear and her movement inside me. When I paid attention to them again, Yumi had spun Verity around and was using both her hands to spread her ass cheeks apart, her face buried between them. Verity's noise of surprise quickly turned to moans of pleasure and she bent over slightly to give Yumi better access.

As the sounds of enthusiastic licking reached me, I felt myself get wetter. I was a little surprised. I'd never done anything like that before, and I had had no idea that Yumi was into that kind of thing. Some of my surprise must have shown, because Veronica's low voice was suddenly in my ear again.

"Oh, kinky." She slipped another finger into me and her thumb began making regular swipes over my clit. "But from your response I'm guessing you like it, don't you?"

"Um," was the only response I could make, the combination of the unexpectedly hot sight before me and Veronica's increased movements momentarily removing my ability to form a coherent sentence. It was all I could do to reciprocate, spreading Veronica's slick lips with two fingers and flicking her clit with a third.

"Would you like me to do that to you? Spread your ass apart and lick you all over?"

I could instantly imagine it. Veronica's hands on my cheeks, hear warm breath on my asshole, then her tongue... I'd never really thought about it, but now I almost came just at Veronica's words. Verity was moaning loudly now. I couldn't really see with her back turned to us, but from her movements she was rubbing her pussy frantically while Yumi stabbed her tongue into her ass. Then suddenly another of Veronica's fingers was inside her and a warm wetness just below my ear as she swiped her tongue across the skin, and I could no longer hold back. The movements of my fingers faltered as the air escaped my lungs in a long, drawn-out moan.

When I came back to myself, I found I'd slipped down in the chair and was only staying on because Veronica was holding me against her with an arm slung around my torso. My fingers had slipped out of her and I was now holding her by the knee. A look at Verity showed that she had fallen to her knees, chest to the ground. Yumi had followed her down and was in a similar position, head bobbing up and down as she licked between Verity's cheeks and over her hole. She was bent down low, her legs spread wide, and I could see the darker crinkle of her asshole and the fluid dripping from her pussy.

I tore my gaze away and looked up at Veronica, who smiled at me. "I guess you really do like this," she said, "We should talk about that sometime, with Verity. It looks like Yumi's introduction is going well." She leaned back a little in the chair, and my eyes were drawn to her glistening, swollen pussy. As the last tingles of my orgasm left me, I realized that Veronica hadn't come yet. I let myself slide down to the floor and pulled at her leg.

"Get down here and sit on my face," I commanded her.

"Yes, ma'am," she replied immediately, getting down from the chair and planting her knees on either side of my head as I lay down on my back. I inhaled deeply, taking in her scent,  as her invitingly spread pussy appeared in view above me, then took her ass in my hands and pulled her down. She tasted just as good as she had the day before and I closed my eyes, losing myself in the taste, the feel and the smell of her as I licked along and between her lips. Her clit was hard as a pebble and I flicked my tongue over it repeatedly, making her clamp her thighs tightly on my head.

For minutes, I was unaware of anything but the trembling of her legs, her thighs on my ears blocking out the sounds of Verity's increasingly loud and frantic moans. I concentrated of the slick feeling of Veronica on my tongue as she began bucking her hips slightly, slathering her juices all over my face. Her movements became increasingly erratic as her orgasm approached, her thighs gripping my head with almost painful force. I abandoned licking her pussy and concentrated on her clit, licking around it, sucking on it and flicking my tongue directly across it. Sound suddenly rushed back as Veronica's thighs lost their grip, her moans sounding loud in my ears. She wobbled and I steadied her with my hands, abandoning her clit and licking her lips gently, cleaning off the juices.

Eventually, she pushed my down gently and fell sideways onto the carped, heavy breathing slowing gradually. I opened my eyes again an turned my head to watch Verity and Yumi again, who had fallen almost completely silent. Verity had fallen completely forward and was laying on her stomach on the carpet, twitching a little ass Yumi languidly licked all around and over her asshole. I kept watching as Veronica snuggled into my side, whispering into my ear, "Well, this looks like a successful first meeting."

We lay there for a minute or two until Verity finally managed to gather hear breath sufficiently to say, "Enough, for now."

Yumi stopped licking and sat back into a kneeling position while Verity got her breath back. When she finally started to get up, Yumi asked her, "Did I do well?"

Verity looked at her dazedly for a moment, then managed to get to her feet and set her face in a deliberately-confident smirk.

"Very well. Anne made a good choice, and I'll be happy to have you working for me. Now, I'm going to sit on the couch over there and watch a movie or something. You two," she pointed at Veronica and me, who were getting to our feet, "explain things to her about what we're trying to do. But first get me a drink, Yumi."

"Yes, boss," Yumi said, with a smile.

We retreated to the kitchen, so as not to bother Verity, and when Yumi had brought her a glass of coke, we sat down around the kitchen table and explained the plan to her.

***

"Yeah, I agree," she said, a while later after we'd explained, "You want to set up something stable so that Verity will always be taken care of. It's a little more difficult with the restrictions she's set up for recruitment and the limited number of snowflakes we have, but we can work with that."

"That's what I thought," I replied, sipping a cup of tea, "so we'll have to be judicious in our choices, but I'm sure we can make it work."

"I'll have a look in the system tomorrow. I'm not really supposed to look at the records, but as the IT department we can get into nearly anything, for testing and stuff. I'm guessing that within Verity's parameters we're mostly going to pick women from rich or influential backgrounds, plus one or two girls with lots of brains and potential. I'll compile a list and bring it for Verity to look over next weekend or thereabouts."

"That'll be fine," Veronica supplied, "We're not exactly in a hurry. Verity will be comfortable here for quite a while yet, I think. And it's Sunday, so I think that's all the work discussion we're going to have, today."

She leaned forward a little, looked Yumi in the eye and said, in a low voice, "So, you're a little kinky, are you?"

Yumi stammered a little until I covered her hand with mine and, trying to ignore my own embarrassment, ensured her, "Hey, we're going to find out these kinds of things about each other anyway. You can talk to us about them."

Yumi's mouth twitched up at the corners and, though the blush was still visible on her face, she explained to Veronica, "Well, I've always been attracted to a good-looking ass. And then about a year ago I had a fling with a girl — you remember Monica, don't you, Anne? — who really liked to try different stuff. And with her I found out that I really like having my ass played with. Or playing with someone else's. So when Verity said to show her what I could do, I decided to just go for it."

"I never knew that!" I said, "I know you don't talk a lot about this kind of thing, but—"

Veronica leaned further forward, and interrupted me in an exaggerated conspiratorial whisper, "Anne really liked watching you do that. I'm guessing she wants to try that herself, sometime."

Now it was my time to blush, as Yumi squeezed my hand and said, "Hey, I'll show you sometime if you want me to. I know we've never brought anything sexual into our friendship, but since we all seem to getting intimate with each other..."

"I... guess I'd like that, sometime. But not today. I'm still a little unsteady on my feet from the orgasm Veronica gave me. There's be lots of opportunities later."

Veronica clapped her hands together, smiling. "It's a deal. Now lets go join Verity and watch a movie, then we can talk more over dinner, later.

We got up and, Veronica and Yumi on either side of me, we went to join Verity in the living room.
