reclaimed tower in Laelith tower that she called her home.  The first floor of the tower was a dress makers shop and the second was the dressmakers living space.  But the top three floors were Ylene's new home.  Her downstairs neighbor, and older human woman named Maranna Warl was hard of hearing and a bit of a hermit.  It made her a near perfect neighbor for Ylene and her live in house mate.  After rescuing the Eladrin woman, Sileanna Kerinni Thereos, or 'Sil' to her friends, she and Ylene became quite close.  Sil saw Ylene as a knight in shining armor.  As a true submissive as well, she was drawn to Ylene's personality, and eventually the two ended up living together out of mutual convieneince and physical attraction.  The new home was a close walking distance to the academy, which was convinent for Sil, and close to the wealthier homes in Laelith, which worked for Ylene's new buisness.<br/><br/>As her notariety grew, she found more and more people interested in her company.  While she was approached by most of the higher class brothels in the town, she decided to work as a free lance escort.  She charged higher rates then simple whores, but her tasks were usually more varied then just sex.  A woman able to project raw sex appeal and also defend a wealthy merchant from assassins at the same time was a skill that many visitors to Laelith were willing to pay for.  Her willingness to drop to her knees and blow a client also was an added perk.<br/><br/>Her new home was three floors, plus a rooftop that was set up as a small garden for Sil, a small shed that contained the washing equipment, and a place for Ylene to dance to the moon and practice her martial arts.  The first floor of her home, which was actually the third floor of the tower, was set up as the common public area.  A living area, a dining area, a small kitchen, and half bathroom.  The second floor had a bedroom that Ylene used primarily for entertaining company, a small office that she kept locked with a small shrine to both elistree and Shoni, and a fully furnished bathroom with large bath tub and water closet that was plumbed to the city's sewers.  There was a door to the third floor that was also kept locked when Ylene entertained clients.  The third floor was the most private, containing Sil's bedroom, Ylene's and a third room that had been set up as Sil's library, workshop, and alchemy lab.<br/><br/>Sil was quite pleased 'paying her rent' by keeping the home immiculately clean and providing some small magical assistance around the home.  She seemed most happy when she was acting the role of the submissive friend and lover.  Yet she still retained her independance, and wasn't always around when Ylene needed her.  It put a new spin on the whole understanding of why people often bought slaves.  In many ways the relationship that began to grow between Sil and Ylene reminded the drow of her own relationship with her ex mistress.<br/><br/>But the avenging of her mistress's murder and time did begin to heal the wounds, and Ylene began to feel at peace with the loss of her beloved mistress.  Her good friend Lyen Risingwind spent more time with her as they worked on hertraining as a monk.  She was one of the only people who had a key to Ylene's home other than Sil.  Hailton also had been keeping in contact with the drow, and her reputation had been greatly enhanced by her assistance helping to uncover Linfei's duplicity and murder.  Lynch had regained her post as captain, and also used her cache to keep guardsman Arnell from getting into too much trouble.  It was a noble sacrifice, giving up her own personal chance at a promotion in order to save the reputation of a subordinate.  But she was in no worse shape then before she'd met Ylene, so she considered it a win.<br/><br/>It was the cool of the very early morning when Ylene returned to her home, before first bell.  She'd sucessfully defended a wealthy merchant from whatever threats he'd perceived might happen to him, but the entire night had mostly been spent as charming eye candy.  The one bright spot of the evening was her knowledge of the city and how it had actually drawn attention from her smooth and not quite covered honey pot and bountiful breasts.  well, drawn away for a little while at least, but when you had an inky skinned sex pot wearing nothing but see through silks thinner than paper, mens and women's eyes always were drawn back to those most natural charms.<br/><br/>But in any regard, there was no attack on the merchant's life that night.  The most action she'd seen was in the carriage as his driver navigated the tight streets of ancient Laelith to return her to her home.  Then he'd taken advantage of the other aspect of her escort service and fucked her rather poorly all things considered.  Still even if it was rather small and uninspired, Ylene would have given him three and a half stars on a scale to ten, he did seem to have some stamina at the very least.  The carriage arrived at her home before he did, but when he did the torrent of hot spunk that flooded her cunny was quite prodigious.  He thanked her again and assured her he'd have to hire her again before tossing her a small pouch of about a dozen platinum.<br/><br/>She could feel the hot cum sliding down her passage, soaking the g-string she wore, and slicking her thighs as she walked up the stairs to the third floor of the tower.  Entering she found her house mate and often sexual partner, Sil, reading from a large tome in the living room.  The eladrin woman looked up, her white hair braided as she lounged in nothing more than a simple silk robe.  "I was waiting up for you miss Ylene.  I had a minor breakthrough with one of the spells I was practicing today and felt like I couldn't sleep anyways."  She noticed the shiny fluid leaking down the black skin of Ylene's thighs.  "Though, I see you need to clean up from this evening..."  She licked her lips and smiled, "If miss would like, I'd be happy to assist in that task."
