Historical records showed that the previous carrier of the symbionte had survived arrow, spear and knife attacks. The scientific community considered them a myth and ignored them. Aida had a different perspective.
She knew that she could win the fight. Despite having half the weight of her opponent she was stronger, faster and more resistant. Her friend Carmen had shown her a few tricks. She knew a couple of spots where a well placed hit could numb a limb for a good while. She knew a couple of chokeholds too. Unfortunately she had never practiced them in a real fight. The last time she had been in a real fight, she had been able to transmit, thanks to the pheromones, the pain induced by her opponent's hits. This opponent happened to be the same Carmen. That would play in her favour again.
-Come on, sweet cheeks. To make the fight more fair I will allow you the first five hits.- Canio proposed. Aida couldn't believe her luck.
-Thank you, sir. You are such a gentleman.- She played fool.
The bar was already empty. The clients had either gone back to their cars to resume the journey or to sleep inside them. Others had rented one of the bedrooms above. The fight could start. Aida walked towards him feigning trepidation and fear. He bowed his back and pointed at his chin.
-You can hit here.- He was smiling derisively all the time.
-Oh, yes?- Aida did hit. Hard. But not there.
The first one went to his nose, that broke with a loud crack. The second went to his throat, that blocked the air. The third to his ear, to weaken his equilibrium. The fourth was a kick to one of his ankles to make him bow even more. The fifth went at last to his chin, an uppercut that broke a couple of teeth. Using the momentum she surrounded him, grabbed his arm and twisted it behind him.
-My shoulder! My shoulder!- His shoulder was indeed about to dislocate.
-Seems that I win. This is my lucky day.- She said to avoid hurting his ego even more, although his ego was the last of her concerns.
-You win, yes!- He admitted, with his pride utterly destroyed.
-You have a bed in your truck, no? Go there, the bar is about to close.
With his head bowed in shame, he gathered his things, leaving there the money of the bets and dragged his feet to the exit, grumbling something.
-Wow, that's...- Nedda was impressed.
-Yep.- Aida gathered her things as well.- So, I should get going.
-Where are you going to sleep?
-In my car. Why?
-It's cold out there.
-I will be fine.
-You could sleep in a bedroom upstairs.
-There's no need, I...
-Including mine.- Aida stopped in her tracks. She musted be mistaken because the tone of that sentence was more that of a plea than a polite offer.
Nedda led Aida to the third floor. The last bedroom was also the biggest. As she was the owner of the building Nedda used it for her herself. It was supposed to be a romantic suite. Or rather what a chip hostel in the middle of nowhere considered to be a romantic suite. It had a big bed, a bathroom and a TV. Better than nothing.
-I bring here the winner of the fight.- Nedda explained.- They don't always want sex. They sometimes are married, for example. They don't always want to sleep with me. Sometimes they sleep here and I do it in another room.- She shrugged her shoulders.- It depends.
-It's a big bed. Cozy.- Aida said just to fill the silence.
-I've never been with a woman.- Suddenly the conversation turned awkward, if the whole situation wasn't that already.- But you won, fair and square, and you can claim your prize.- With a gesture of her hands she pointed at her own body.- I think I'm attractive. Or so I've been told.
So she was. Young, firm, with curves on the right places. And yet Aida had no interest on sleeping with her or doing anything else. She had two reasons. First it would feel like betraying the trust of her friends and lovers. It wasn't a betrayal of any kind because she hadn't made any promise. Still it felt like a betrayal. Second, she didn't want Nedda or any other stranger finding out about her unique physical characteristics. She had gone there, to that snowy landscape, for that exact reason, to be alone. And yet sleeping in a bedroom instead of her car sounded very tempting.
She would have the problem of privacy. Even sleeping in another bedroom, Nedda could open the door, as she had all the keys. As an additional danger a specially intense dream could deploy a cloud of pheromones that could enter in other bedrooms with unpredictable, potentially dangerous consequences. There was a small chance but it was possible. On the other hand it was possible that she would just sleep in a warm, cozy bedroom.
-For being honest...- Nedda was still talking, exposing even more her intimacies.- It's been a long time since I got a good fucking. It's kind of sad that every week I have a man here and yet I don't seem to enjoy it.
-Maybe because you are not getting the partners you'd like?- Aida half-joked.
-Yes, but... I mean, I'm offering myself to those men. They could be..., you know, nicer. There was one in particular... He told me that he had distinct tastes. He wanted to tie me up to the bedframe and make love to me. Those were his exact words. And so he did. He tied my arms and legs to the corners on the bed and...- She blushed remembering the experience.- He kissed me everywhere. And his caresses, his kind words... He gave me an awesome massage. Finally when he decided to fuck my pussy I was so horny that I was practically beggin him to take me. And he wasn't even handsome!
-And you told Canio that you enjoyed that.
-Yeah, well, he found the ropes in the closet. I tried to make him understand but he went in the exact opposite direction. Tie me up, offensive words, spank my ass, and then fuck me rough and fast. The opposite of what I had explained.
-And the others are mostly the same, no? Quick and selfish.
-Sometimes even dirty. Or they fuck and don't even bother to talk to me. I mean, I'm giving myself, have a little fucking respect, dammit!- She raised her voice. Aida could clearly see quite a lot of pent up frustration and anger.- So then comes the Saturday night, they fuck off and I want to masturbate because I'm horny and unsatisfied but I can't because I'm angry too. Fuck!
-I... We could...- Aida had had an idea that could solve all of their problems.- We could play a little game. Since you are mine for the night and you are a bit submissive, you won't mind indulging me.- Aida grinned.
-I don't know if I...
-Show me the ropes.- Nedda was taken aback by this request. She had never done such a thing, whatever that was, with a woman, but Aida didn't seem to want to hurt her. She shrugged her shoulders and took her to the closet. Inside there were several pieces of rope of various lengths. Aida reflected for a moment.- Do you have a vibrator? Charged?
-Yes and yes.- She guided Aida to the nightstand and showed her the dildo.
-Yes...- She looked at Nedda for a moment. The other one remained silent and confused.- So...?- Nedda, not knowing what to do looked at both sides, then her feet, then the door, then her feet again.- Get naked!
-Yes!- Nedda replied, startled. In a couple of minutes she had already disrobed. Aida wasn't surprised to see that she was very pale, not rare in the icy north. Her legs were shaved but not her crotch, nor her armpits. She wasn't wearing make-up either. Also she could lose a couple of kilos. She didn't put much effort into being attractive. Neither did she need it.
-Go to the bathroom if you need to.- She did so and came back in a few minutes.- So, we are going to have a little fun. Then you will give me a key and I will sleep in another bedroom.- Nedda was going to say something but Aida raised a hand and she stopped.- You are mine for the night, and I want nothing less than complete obedience. And silence.- Hesitantly Nedda nodded. Aida indicated her with a finger to turn around.
First she slipped the dildo into Nedda's mouth, for about half of its length, and told her to keep it there. Then she tied her hands together on the small of her back. With the same length of rope she made a crotch harness, with several loops around her waist and a single strand between her legs. As an history teacher in college she had read about shibari a couple of years ago. For scientific purposes only, she told to herself before and after friggin herself to orgasm on a lonely night. Making sure that the dildo was coated with saliva she eased it into Nedda's pussy before tightening the ropes. The captive moaned a couple of times showing approval. Unbeknown to Aida she herself was enjoying the game a bit and her pheromones were affecting Nedda, moderately enhancing her arousal.
Grabbing one of Nedda's buttocks with one hand and a breast with the other she guided her to the bed, where she made her lay face down. She tied her ankles together with several loops of rope and so did her thighs. She didn't need all that rope but Nedda was loving it. That rope went to the bedframe, under the mattress.
Then she tied a rope around her neck. That length of rope went also to the bedframe under the mattress and the pillow. Aida made sure it was tight enough to be felt but not to hurt. Thinking that something was missing she did a chest harness with another length of rope in such a way that Nedda's breasts were bulging a bit. She used the opportunity to massage her breasts for a full minute, eliciting a couple more moans, more intense than the previous ones. She also tied her upper arms to the harness, because why not.
-Aida? I'm loving this so far, but you won't leave me like this, don't you?
Aida laid on top of her, resting her weight on her back. She started the dildo on a high setting and then pulled on the crotch rope a couple of times. Nedda squirmed and moaned showing anything but regret.
-Why wouldn't I?- She rubbed her forehead against Nedda's nape. While the dildo worked its magic, Aida kept pulling on the rope.
-I have to open the kitchen early in the morning. I have to get up at about four o'clock, and...- Her moans grew louder. She had trouble gathering her thoughts enough to talk.
-Did I give you permission to speak?- Nedda shut up right away.- You are mine, and I will do whatever I want to you.- Nedda was about to talk again, but Aida did so first.- I happen to want you to wake up early, so I will come back to free you.- Nedda nodded and smiled.- But keep in mind that tomorrow you will still be mine. Do we agree?
-Yes!- The dildo, plus the rope moving and pressing on her clit were about to bring the expected outcome.- Tomorrow I will still be.., yours.- She stopped talking and focused her attention on her crotch. Barely a couple of minutes later her much desired release came. That was the first time in months that another person had showed her so much kindness.
Aida got up, shut down the dildo, leaving it in place, covered Nedda with enough blankets to keep her warm and left, not before grabbing the keys for the bedroom and another one for a nearby room. In her cocoon, Nedda enjoyed the pleasant predicament, the touch of the ropes, and the fullness inside her pussy. She hoped that Aida would be more generous the next day.
Aida slept comfortably a few rooms away. Much better than the car, she could tell. She didn't need to sleep much, because of the symbionte, so she would be able to wake up Nedda by the mentioned hour.
Time passed quickly. She was already awake when the alarm clock buzzed. She went into the other bedroom, where Nedda was still waiting to be freed. She slipped her hand under the blankets and activated the dildo on a medium setting. Nedda moaned a coule of times still in her sleep. She whispered in her dreams something about a guest fucking her, which Aida found amusing.
-Wake up, sleepy head.- She raised the intensity of the dildo to max. With a groan that didn't sound at all like a complaint Nedda left the dream world.
-What? Mmmm...- She pressed her teeth. The dildo only needed a minute to bring her over the edge.
-Four o'clock, you said.
-Yes!- The dildo was still working.- Untie me... Please!
-Wait a moment...- Aida taunted her. A couple of minutes later Nedda bit the pillow and a second orgasm came. Aida turned down the dildo right away.- No more slacking, you have work to do.
Momentarily spent after her two orgasms, Nedda remained still while Aida undid the ropes. Nedda was gathering the emotional strength to say what she thought about last night.
Aida undid everything except the chest harness. Asking Nedda to stand still. She grabbed another length of rope and, linking it to the harness she did a diamond pattern along her abdomen. Removing the dildo she made her wear a pair of clean panties. Then between her legs tied another length of rope to the front and back of her waist. This last rope had three knots just below her pussy, one of them pressing on her clit over the panties.
-I have to wear this all day, or what?
-Yep.- Aida grinned and winked an eye.
-Ok...- Nedda blushed, she like the idea more than she would admit.- I want to tell you something.
-Go ahead. But get dressed, it's cold in here.- She guessed, as she symbionte protected her from that issue.
-So...- While she dressed, Nedda explained her idea. As she was alone in the middle of nothing, she'd rather have somebody living with her. Aida had proven that she could defend herself. Nedda offered her to live there. She couldn't pay much but Aida would have free lodging and almost unlimited food, gas and any other thing she would need. She owned most of the land around the town and also had several empty cabins, that her ascendants used for hunting, if she wanted more privacy.- So that's my idea. Also...- She hesitated but the symbionte's influence prompted her to keep talking.- We could do more sex stuff. I mean, if you want to.
-Wow, that's... Unexpected. Let me... Give it a thought.
-Sure. I have to go to the kitchen, to start cooking and cleaning. Come with me, please. I'll do for you my special sandwich for sexy friends and we'll talk.
Along the morning Aida thought thorougly about Nedda's idea. She loved her job as a history teacher in college and she would hate to leave that. And her beloved friends. On the other hand, there was the symbionte. It had to remain a secret, there was no doubt about that. The wrong person with that thing could do a lot of damage. Or worse, replicate it. She didn't know for how long could she keep it hidden. There had been several incidents in college, such as fist fights or sexual assaults, because of the symbionte's influence on the students. Living in an isolated town, in the middle of a forest, in the wild north was the biggest amount of intimacy she would get. That or the middle of the sea. She only needed to trust Nedda. A person who was desperate for a friend. Living there wasn't a bad idea at all.
About an hour later the first trucker went down for his breakfast. While he ate on a table in the big dinning room Aida and Nedda were chatting behind the countertop.
-I wanted to thank you for... You know, everything you did last night and this morning. I mean..., the rope is a bit annoying. But good annoying, if you get me.- Her wide smile and red cheeks confirmed that she was annoyed in a good sense.- So..., would you like being my assistant, bodyguard... Occasional sex partner...- They both giggled.
-Actually, I...- She wasn't sure if keeping the symbionte a secret was right or wrong. Nedda would realize something eventually. She was putting her life on a stranger's hands.
-Look, I'm not stupid. You have a secret. That's why you are here, at the end of the world. You are hiding from something or somebody.- She grabbed Aida's hands.- I don't care. As long as you treat me well, so will I. I also have regrets. We can help each other. I have trusted you letting you tie me in my own home. Can you trust me?
-Nedda...- Aida had a decision to make.
