<em>(Perception with inspiration: 22)</em><br/><br/>The art on the wall of the Lion Hotel was... interesting, to put it politely, but Neferi couldn't see what was so special about it that had the human sisters mesmerized so. Certainly the marid sisters weren't so affected.<br/><br/>"Y-yeah, we were at a parlor and saw your flyers, and thought it might be fun," Neferi said, trying to imply they were at the establishment in the capacity of a customer rather than a masseuse, which she wasn't quite ready to admit openly yet.<br/><br/><em>(Knowledge local with inspiration: 26)</em><br/><br/>The talk turned to the concept of<em>kenjataimu</em>, which sounded familiar... a second later, she placed it: in the library she had read a book about the continent of Tian Xia, in the kindgom of Shokuro, where the people used the word to describe the state after orgasm where a man becomes clear-headed and is no longer impaired by lustful urges. She blushed a little remembering that particular book, which had then gone into quite a bit of<em>detail</em>about how such a state might be induced in a man. At the time she had been skeptical of the validity of the concept, but after these few recent days working in Lady Awan's massage parlor she had to admit that she had seen<em>kenjataimu</em>with her own eyes.<br/><br/>"Yes, deal," Neferi agreed. "We'll leave them wanting to come back for more..." she trailed off as her thoughts strayed to how much easier it would be to pay off the debt with few more high-paying nights like this. "Err, metaphorically speaking of course," she quickly added, trying not to leave the wrong impression.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Neferi swallowed nervously as she stared down the length of Tabansi's thick dark shaft. It was just last-minute nervousness, she told herself, and she needed to learn how to do this if she was going to perform adequately, steeling herself for what was to come.<br/><br/>She followed her cat-eared instructor's instructions diligently to the letter, gripping the shaft in one hand to steady it while she leaned in and wrapped her lips around the spongy head. She felt the gigolo's hand on the back of her head, guiding her gently up and down the length of the shaft, while she focused on keeping her lips pursed around his girth and trying not to forget to play with it with her tongue, too.<br/><br/>The marid found her rhythm eventually, while her mouth worked the tip that she could fit in, her hands rolled his laden sack gently and stroked the rest of the shaft her lips couldn't reach. She remembered Rosbul's hint, and when his balls seemed to pull away from her hands while his body tensed up as a whole, she braced herself to receive his load in her mouth.<br/><br/><em>(Fort save: 17)</em><br/><br/>Neferi felt Tabansi's cock throb in her mouth over and over again, each one a spurt of thick seed that she dutifully swallowed despite the salty and slightly bitter taste. Just when her lungs were starting to burn and she started to worry about having to pull away, he finally finished, starting to soften between her lips, and she pulled away without guilt to catch her much-needed breath. It hadn't been physically painful or anything, just somewhat humiliating to have to lower her head and debase herself like this...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Over the next three days Neferi's workload ramped up, and she got serious in turn, making full use of concoctions and blowjobs to please her clients. She prepared sensitivity lotion and blowjob concoction for her own and Munira's use, and even made sure to have extra stock left over for the big night at the Pathfinder lodge. It used up most of the materials she and Munira had prepared, but Neferi felt that the cost was worth it.<br/><br/>It paid off too - Sensitivity Lotion made her client's muscles relax and their special parts tingle, and a dose of Rosbul's Personal Concoction at the beginning of each working day let Neferi swallow her clients' seed like the pro she was pretending to be. After the first day adjusting to her new rhythm and new tools, something "clicked", and she figured out how to tease and draw out the massage with her hands and tongue, leaving her clients throbbing rock-hard until time was nearly up, then making them explode in her mouth with a final flurry of lip and tongue action. Neferi surprisingly found herself proud of her work, how she could coax her clients' bodies to perform her bidding with simply the right touches at the right times, and how generously her clients showed their gratitude...<br/><br/>The middle-aged man wasn't the only one to return many times, but among the others he had a special place in her heart, not in a romantic sense but in a first regular client sort of way who had been there from the beginning when she was still a fumbling novice relatively speaking.<br/><br/>Neferi gave him a big smile when he guessed her ancestry to be half-mermaid, half-genie - and remembering the tip to have some regulars but not get<em>too</em>close to them, she decided that it was close enough. "You got it right! And here I was worrying I won't get to show you a little something special like I promised..." she winked and pushed him back on his bed. Oiling her breasts for the service, she squeezed her generous orbs around his shaft and gave him a special massage until he was hot and hard and ready to explode, then she took him in her mouth as far as she usually did - and then further. Despite her mental readiness and the blowjob concoction she had taken in preparation for this moment, she couldn't stop the gag the first time she felt his cockhead bumping against the back of her throat. Still she persisted until her lips were wrapped around the base of his cock and her nose was buried in his pubic hair.<br/><br/>The vaunted deep throat technique! Then the gag reflex that she had been suppressing overcame her conscious muscle control and she gagged on his cock with a wet choking sound in her throat, and she couldn't pull herself off his shaft quickly enough. It had to look awkward, Neferi gasping for air with sticky strings of saliva and precum still stretching between her lips and the throbbing tip of his manhood, tears unbidden in her eyes from biting off more than she could chew, so to speak. But a light sheen coated the entire length of his shaft in the candlelight as proof that she had taken it all in.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, that was my first time..." she giggled, and if he was willing she was ready to repeat the performance until he shot his load straight down her throat...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Masseuse mode</div><div class="spoiler_body">Starting alchemy materials: 105gp<br/>Create: <br/>2x Scented Candle (20 gp): 1 each for Neferi and Munira, to be saved for the big night.<br/>8x Sensitivity Lotion (40 gp): 4 each for Neferi and Munira, 3 to be used on the 3 working days, 1 to be saved for the big night.<br/>8x Rosbul's Personal Concoction (40 gp): 4 each for Neferi and Munira, 3 to be used on the 3 working days, 1 to be saved for the big night.<br/>Ending alchemy materials: 5gp<br/><br/>Perform sex checks (+2 cha, +5 sensitivity lotion, +1d8 inspiration): 19, 32, and 30: 3gp, 50gp, 50gp!<br/>Fortitude saves (+8, +5 concoction, +1d8 inspiration): 26, 32, 29: all passed!<br/><br/>Cumulative tips: 107 gp, 4 sp</div></div><br/><br/><hr/><br/>The day before the big job Neferi took Munira to meet up with Haruka and Miyako to shop for the attire they'd need for the night. Neferi had to admit that being forced to work for a living was rapidly ingraining her with a business sense that her previous relatively sheltered upbringing hadn't. With the tips she had earned over the past few days she could hoped she could afford something decent, seeing the clothes as an investment; besides the promised payment for the job, there could be even more from her clients in tips if only she could leave an excellent impression on them.
