Chapter 47: Don’t fall for your slave, please! part
“What was that about boss?”
Dylan asked while following Ryu.
“I don’t feel like speaking about it, at least not now that we’re going to have some fun together”
Ryu said mischievously making Dylan question his words. Why on earth would a man like Ryu reject the silver goddess so blatantly? he’d seen her practically throwing herself at him, yet he never spend the night with her, nor any other girl.
‘Could it be that he likes men?’ Dylan started sweating buckets as he kept following him.
They walked through the now populated streets in a sunny day, there was still some snow lying around and it was cold, but southern people were more than accustomed to this. This kind of weather was considered warm for them, Even for Ryu who developed cold resistance, yet he had learned his lesson and would wear his coat nonetheless.
Once they reached the brothel, Dylan’s worst fears were flourishing.
.....
‘Is he going to rent a room?” he swallowed his saliva so loudly that Ryu could hear it. While the brothel did provide female company, sometimes, couples would rent rooms to have their fun, the main reason behind this was that buildings in Ironwoods were crowded and getting some privacy was almost impossible.
“In case you’re wondering, I’ve noticed that you take good care of your appearance and you’re always clean, that’s why I brought you here with me”
Ryu commented and now Dylan’s throat was dry as a desert.
“Listen boss, I’m honored but I don’t like men... I can return my wages if you like, and I promise I won’t tell anyone anything about anything so please...”
“What are you thinking? I’m not into men either, actually, I brought you here because I didn’t want to come alone, I just commented on your appearance since you’ll be the one dealing with the girls”
Dylan was embarrassed, but as soon as he heard the last part his awkward smile turned into a genuine one.
“Does this mean you’re paying for everything right?”
“Depends, if you do your job and we get some spare time I may, unless you ask for special kinks. There was a rumor going around at the tavern that a guy spent almost 2 silver coins, that would be too much. As long as you mind the cost and don’t tell the girls anything about what happens today I’ll be more than happy to pay for everything”
Mary, the hostess, was at the entrance and greeted both Dylan and Ryu politely. This time though, instead of heading to the restaurant they went to the bar so she didn’t follow them. Her job was to greet everyone, but provide special treatment to VIP customers.
The floor was tiled too, but there wasn’t expensive furniture nor chandeliers. It looked like a regular tavern, only a bit more fancy and a lot bigger than Rina’s.
When they set foot in there the girls that weren’t currently busy gathered around them and started filling them with compliments. Ryu wasn’t in a hurry so he just sat on a table that had a round sofa. It was clearly designed to provide comfort to people drinking with girls.
Even though they were prostitutes, their job wasn’t as simple as taking the customers to a room. Their duty was to tend to clients and make sure they spend as much as they can, since there were so many girls it was impossible to control everyone but madame Bianca would punish those who made any kind of scene in front of the clients.
Which is why they came up with something like a code. Whenever a client entered he was game for everyone, but if he showed interest in someone she would be the one tasked with accompanying him to his table and she too would decide who gets to serve the table. That provided order in the midst of chaos, it looked peaceful and coordinated, but it was more similar to a battlefield.
Dylan quickly picked the first girl who got close to him, but Ryu didn’t find anyone to his liking. Some girls were disappointed seeing that he wasn’t interested in any of them, especially since it was known that he was a big spender.
Not only the girl who gets to satisfy his lust would be well compensated for her job, but also the one serving the table.
No matter how many sweet words they would say, all Ryu could think about was Rina’s smile when he took her to the restaurant.
The place was filled with miners and prostitutes, which made him remember Rudd’s words when he walked in Rina’s tavern the day he arrived.
And there he was thinking about her again. The prostitutes were buzzing around him, but their words sounded far away from him and didn’t reach him. Prostitutes knew that he was hit on the head recently and thought maybe he wasn’t yet in good shape, some even gave up on serving him.
When he realized his silence was starting to get awkward there were only two young girls by his side. They were skinny, too much to be healthy, which reminded him about what Luke told him. Prostitutes who couldn’t pull their weight wouldn’t be paid. Feeling pity, rather than arousal, he just went ahead and took them by the waist. They walked to the same table where Dylan was and sat on the opposite end.
While Dylan was enjoying his drinks, Ryu couldn’t help but be concerned about the well being of his female company.
Both girls were excited to have been picked by Ryu and couldn’t wait to bed him and squeeze as much money from him as they could. But they had been sold to madame Bianca recently and had yet to have their first client, they didn’t know how to please a man nor how to seduce him. Madame Bianca just told them the rules and to let men have their way with them however they wanted, as long as they didn’t forget how much they should ask for.
Instead of ordering just beer like Dylan, Ryu asked for three meals and snacks. Ever since he got hit on the head he’s been so hungry at all times it drove him crazy.
When food came to the table the girls were dumbfounded. Clients were known to buy drinks for the girls to make them company, and if they were drunk enough, sometimes they would be thankful and give an extra service.
They never heard of a man buying food for the prostitutes, both girls looked at the most experienced woman in the room with pleading eyes, not knowing what to do. She had a regular client so she no longer needed to to the usual job, instead she would help the other girls. But this time she didn’t know what to do either and just shrugged.
“What’s the matter? you don’t like it?”
Said Ryu while cutting the steak without even looking at them.
“It’s not that... it’s just... is this ok?”
The girl on the left asked to the other one.
“I don’t know”
the other one looked as anxious as the former.
“Are you new or something?”
They both nodded.
“Then I’ll tell you. I don’t feel like eating alone, and now that I’m accompanied by two fine ladies my appetite woke up. As long as I’m paying shouldn’t that be ok?”
The girls were too afraid to break the brothel’s rules, but after hearing this they started eating.
“I need to discuss something private with the lady boss, is that ok?”
Ryu nodded at him and Dylan stood up and went to a room holding hands with the prostitute of his choosing.
“What were your names again?”
Ryu asked
“I’m Eiri”
“and I’m Kairi”
“Let me guess, you two are sisters, aren’t you?”
They both looked similar, and since they names also matched Ryu thought.
“Yes sir, we are”
“How long have you been in here?”
“We just started”
Ryu caught a glimpse of sadness in her eyes, this was considered taboo in their profession since the clients mood would be ruined by this and their earnings would diminish. But since Kairi was new, she couldn’t help it.
The girls chatted with Ryu through the meal, while throwing the occasional compliment at him. Their social skills were good enough to entertain someone, but their experience and looks were not enough to seduce a man, let alone someone like Ryu who had his mind set on someone else.
He finished his meal, but waited until they finish. Then he tipped them 5 copper coins each and stood up.
Both of them grabbed his arms and tried to follow him, but he gently shook them off.
“I’m sorry girls, I’m not in the mood today”
The tip was enough already, but if they wanted to buy their freedom back they needed to earn big.
“Mister, if you come with both of us we’ll make you a discount, we lack experience but we’ll let you do whatever you want”
Eiri said looking at the tiled floor, almost breaking into tears.When the most experienced prostitute noticed this she came close hurriedly. Crying in front of a client was against madame’s rules, at least outside the bedroom, inside they could cry but this would only trigger the most violent men even more.
“Is everything alright mister client?”
“I’m looking for someone with a bit more experience actually, would you mind spending some time with me today?”
“Of course mister client, come this way”
She led him through a hallway, most doors were closed which meant the rooms were either occupied or being cleaned, and they walked until they found a room with the door opened.
The woman started undressing as soon as they got inside, but before she could say a word Ryu spoke in a low voice.
“I want to use your mouth”
