Construct loved by Many Faces(PsionicCuttlefish & Micbunny)

[PsionicCuttlefish]

When Hardwall rounded the corner after calling out to Tam, he was quite surprised to see that her bed had intruded into her workspace. He paused for a moment to examine the...bizarre apparatus she had cobbled together over it. "...You have been...exceptionally busy I see, Commander..." The warforged remarked as he slowly approached, looking at the device. He then realized that Tam herself was nude again, with her milky-white face heavily flushed with crimson again. Hardwall couldn't help but wonder what she had been doing to put herself in a similar state as the 'experiment' last night, but he did look up as she spoke. She had used herself as a test subject? Well, that...sort of explained it? Hardwall was still very new to all of this. He nodded along when she mentioned needing to find someone to make a 'house call'. "Yes, this...apparatus you have constructed is much more extensive than I had thought it would be. It would be logistically impractical to transport all of this to the Firelight district." He stated obviously. "I am ready to depart as soon as you are."

One quick skycoach and lift-ride later, and the pair of them were making their way through the Firelight district. Tam had chosen her human guise for the outing, and seemed content to let Hardwall lead the way. Hardwall wasn't entirely certain on where exactly they should go and what to do, but at the same time, neither did Tam or she wouldn't have needed him to do research for her. So, Hardwall would just have to do his best...he tried to be as observant as possible picking up the details of each establishment they passed, who was enjoying them, and what they were doing--or at least, what could be seen. Eventually, he settled on a place that looked likely...

Hardwall walked in through the doors of Elspeth's Earthly Delights with Tam in tow, having chosen the establishment not just for the name, but the kind of people he saw entering and leaving, and the fact that it looked less expensive. Glancing at a few signs, he felt certain they were in the right place; it advertised a main lounge with "open love" and "pleasures at all hours", among other phrases that Hardwall could not quite determine the meaning of, but guessed they were more fleshling euphemisms. Walking up to a female half-elf receptionist with Tam at his side, Hardwall met the woman's attention and her hesitant question of if she could be of service.

"This is an establishment that sells prostitution services, correct? My employer wishes to hire a male prostitute for the evening for a house call." Hardwall announced bluntly, to the woman's cringing wince and pointed look at Tam before she confirmed (and noted that they preferred the term "escorts") and sent for one. A couple minutes later, a human male arrived, somewhat oiled up and wearing only a tightly-wrapped cloth around his waist and between his legs, although once he saw Tam he smiled and picked up a spare toga to don it as he approached.

"A house call, mm? Not many of us do that in this particular establishment, but a lady with a warforged bodyguard asking for one, I figured that'd be interesting enough to see out. " The blonde-haired, bronze-skinned man said with a relaxed tone and coy smile as he looked at Tam and bowed to her. "Jetho, at your service. If you're looking for someone to have you crying in bliss all night long, I'm your man." He said with a wink and waggle of his eyebrows at her.

"Actually," Hardwall stepped in, "My employer has need of a male prostitute for other reasons. She has designed an arcane device to record a fleshling's physical sensations, and requires a male subject to induce sexual pleasure on to collect data." Again, Hardwall spoke with all the bluntness of a dull club of what Tam needed.

This did seem to throw Jetho for a bit of a loop. "Uh." he blinked a few times, glancing back and forth between Tam and Hardwall. "...So, like, you're plannin' to work me off while your bauble does its thing?" He then shrugged. "...Well, that is a bit of a new one for a gigolo, but hey, as long as you're paying, I'm down for it. You wanna go now, then?"

Walking in behind Hardwall, Tam could not help but look around at the sights. It was..... cleaner than she had imagined. And.... oh my that woman was..... pretty. And that man and.... before she knew it Tam was blushing in a way only a changeling could, turning a complete beet red from head to toe. Still, as her warforged companion talked with the receptionist, Tam started slowly calming down. Yes, this is business. Business. Only business. She almost didn't catch the look from the receptionist but nodded in ascent to what Hardwall was saying. Yes, this was much easier. If she did not need to talk, she couldn't stammer her way into more embarrassment. After all, it was just business and research nothing.......

Wooof! The tanned, toned man who stepped forward was...... well..... was a lot. A lot to take in. He was tall, even for a human, at least she assumed he was human. Elves and half-elves didn't quite tan that well.... or did they? Having not spent that much time with them she wasn't sure. But his lack of pointed ears, and more round eyes definitely hinted at human ancestry. She almost let out a faint, disappointed whine when he put on the toga, but Tam stopped herself before the sound quite got out, making more of a hiccuping squeak.

And then she heard Jetho the gigolo... heh, that rhymes, ask a question. And she figured she should finally speak up. "Yes... that is we should go to my workshop. The apparatus I have constructed is there. You will be compensated fully for your time of course at the.... standard rate? It will be quite extensive though so I will requirre your services for several hours. And.... in case not everything can be acquired the first time, I may require you to come back and assist again? After all consistency in subject is important for...... excuse me I am rambling. Yes we should go now." Tam says, the blush returning to her face. Hardwall will discuss payments while I do some..... preliminary checking? I will need some measurements to prepare the equipment and need to make sure you will.... fit the device."

With Jetho's agreement, Tam starts measuring his body, using a length of marked string she keeps on her person..... and maybe a little more 'groping' and touching than is needed but she would never admit to it. "Yes, yes you will definitely work." She concludes after a few more moments of measuring. And so they depart, with payment agreed upon.

Back at the lab, Jetho finds the strange apparatus in the room, looking like a bed with many strange, odd, bizarre additions and modifications, many of which have no obvious purpose to him. "Now then.... would you please disrobe and lie down on the bed? You will need to be strapped in but I assure you it is for you safety."

If nothing else, Jetho could be certain that the day was going to be interesting. The lady who wanted to hire him was apparently a changeling, when he walked into the lobby to see! It was quite unusual to see a changeling in Firelight District, they normally mostly kept to Dragoneyes as far as Jetho knew. Her warforged bodyguard looked like no joke, and Jetho could tell the hulking soldier was evaluating him as a threat, from the way the warforged's head tracked him. Jetho just stayed cool; he didn't really care for the things, but he was familiar enough to know that they tended to be very literal and by-the-book about orders, specifically not taking actions of their own initiative generally unless provoked. As long as Jetho just acted as he normally would for the lady and didn't appear threatening, he was sure there'd be no problem with the wood-and-metal man. But the lady herself was far more interesting. Jetho was far too experienced and aware to miss how the changeling lady was eyeing him up and down, getting a good look at him, and poorly disguised her disappointment when he put on the toga! Heh, she was an inexperienced one then, not that it was a problem to Jetho. Already he was subtly changing what he did and said. The lady wanted a look? So he left the front of it slightly pulled to the side, so his chiseled, tanned, lightly-oiled abs and part of his chest could be seen. He was happy to give the customer what she wanted!

While what she was specifically hiring him for was virtually unheard-of, Jetho still played it cool and smooth, keeping his suave demeanor even as she requested to measure him. He was only too happy to oblige, standing tall and holding his arms out as the lady used a measurement-string. Oh, he definitely caught her extra gropes, but only kept his coy smile on and even moved himself for her to measure in ways that subtly and 'unnecessarily' showed her more of his physique. Once she was done, and her warforged bodyguard had provided payment to the clerk, off they went!

*****

At the lady's workshop, as she was clearly some kind of tinker-mage, he followed her in and to her 'testing room', and showed the bed with the bizarre apparatus all hooked up around it. Jetho raised one eyebrow at the sight, but, she was paying...at her request for him to unclothe and get in, and the mention of straps, he only smirked wider and have her a sideways grin out the corner of his eye. This at least was familiar to him. "Straps? Oho, you want it kinky then? Very well, Mistress~..." He smoothly purred at her with his rich voice, and began to take his toga off. He...did not do it quickly. In fact, quite on purpose, just doing what he knew for the lady's enjoyment, he slowly removed the toga, showing more of his skin little bit by little bit, to entice and tease her. More of his fine toned muscles could be seen, with his bronze-tanned skin, until he was almost nude. When he was down to just his tightly-wrapped loincloth, and still smiling slyly, he reached down and began to unwrap it...slowly revealing his partially-flaccid endowments, already starting to 'perk up' for the lady and being a suitably pleasing size.

Still looking at Tam with his calm, smoldering eyes and light smirk, he slowly stepped towards the bed and slid himself onto it, laying on his pack and positioning his arms and legs where it seemed like they ought to go with the straps around the bed. His male endowments, of course, were completely and openly exposed. "All right, Mistress...I'm all ready for you to ~tie me up~..." He rumbled at her invitingly.

Hardwall, meanwhile, was watching the proceedings but standing back and out of Tam's way. He was sure there wouldn't be any need for him to interfere with anything, although the male's attitude had a few vague similarities to that unpleasant elven man who had bothered Tam at the bar, Tam herself seemed significantly less uncomfortable this time, and she had after all sought this out. However, the things that Tam was planning to do...it would be the first time in his life that Hardwall ever witnessed this aspect of fleshling biology. With some curiosity, he paid close attention...

 

[Micbunny]

Tam did notice the man, Jetho was his name? How did she forget...... I mean, that body was..... no, focus. Yes, Jetho putting on a bit of a show for her. She had not ever really been this close to a male, no a man before. And he was certainly quite a specimen, or so she believed. He certainly was…. yes she could admit it attractive. But the mind quickly focused on the ‘task at hand’…….. barring a sudden -bright- flash of red across Tam’s whole body at the ‘kinky’ and embarrassing talk. “Sir I assure you this is more for your safety and the safety of the device.” Tam said, not sure if she was assuring herself….. or her ‘subject.’

Of course the fact there was now a -naked- and -attractive- and…. certainly -willing- guy in front of her was making Tam’s mind race a mile a minute. And, again she could not help but get some…. extra lingering touches on the exquisite form before her as she placed the leather straps in place, and tightened the bindings. Soon, Jetho was strapped to the bed, a somewhat tight but not uncomfortable binding. He was nearly completely immobilized. And seeing this made Tam shudder, a shiver quaking through her body, and a faint eep-like moan escaped her lips, before she quickly shut her mouth, blushing. “*Ahem* Thank you, again, Mr. Jetho fo your assistance. Now, I will need you to become fully aroused while…..” And from a mess of tubes, cables, and apparatuses crisscrossing the ceiling, Tam brought out a large copper colored band, with what looked like leather padding inside of it. “This is in place.” And with some quick, only slightly fondly hands, Tam slid the device over Jetho’s semi-hard length. Then with the tap of a button, and and a faint whirring, the device came to life! Immediately, the leather seemed to expand! Until Jetho’s shaft was clamped down on by the….. strangely softest yet firmest cock-ring the man had ever experienced. It seems to just barely restrain, without being uncomfortable. “My…. research claims that simulation of the testicles can lead to arousal. Beginning now.” Tam said, falling, again, into her ‘work mode’. Now it was easy! This wasn’t a super hot guy willing to obey her every command! No, this was merely a research project! A test subject! A test subject with….. a rather… sizable ball sack…. Tam’s fingers worked along Jetho’s balls, caressing, massaging, fondling, teasing. “Beginning direct stimulation of the phallus” Tam spoke, as her other hand, fingers somehow longer than they had been…. when did she do that? And then she started stroking, pumping, rubbing, feeling Jetho’s cock as it pulsed, throbbed, and grew in her grasp.

“Full hardness achieved, I believe. Subject, would you say you are at full arousal?” Tam asked, looking at Jetho, her eyes… not cold but not the kind of bedroom gaze Jetho would be used to, almost like a dispassionate dominatrix servicing her client with that mix of disconnect and matter of factness that Jetho likely knew attracted some clients. But this woman was a bashful, nervous geek, where did -this- come from?

 

[PsionicCuttlefish]

While unusual, Jetho's night was looking like it was going to be a rather entertaining one. The experienced male escort certainly didn't miss the human-looking woman's blush as she insisted it was for safety, and he just simply nodded with a very 'if-you-say-so' smirk on his face and a wink of his eye. Though there was something odd he had noticed, it wasn't just the woman's face that briefly flushed a redder color, but also her hands did at the same time. That was a bit strange, but Jetho didn't pay it much mind. He just relaxed onto the bed as the lady got to work strapping him in. Again, he couldn't miss the extra touches, the way her hands lingered in places, showing how obviously she was being affected by her desires. And Jetho's entire job was playing into that! He subtly flexed his muscles and slowly swayed his body as the bindings were being set, just to keep 'distracting' her by giving her more to be attracted to. Of course, the best part was when she was all done tying him down, stood up, and gave his naked, bound body a full look-over.

Jetho gave a very amused smile as the lady moaned, blushed, and full-body shuddered, just at looking him over. She was so cute! He had been hired by a few inexperienced but inquisitive and curious women before, and it was always a delight to help them explore their own urges and desires. He nodded again as the lady reiterated that he needed to be fully aroused...though, the apparatus she brought down from an overhanging rack to slide around his only-half-flaccid shaft was very much a new one to him. He was of course familiar with many sex toys, including cock rings, but this one was different, and much more...tethered. One of his eyebrows rose up when the lady then spoke in a very clinical way about sexual stimulation. "That is the kind of thing that 'foreplay' involves, aye." He replied in a lightheartedly teasing voice. Huh. He also noticed how her demeanor was changing, how she seemed to gain more control of herself--not completely controlled, with how distracted she still seemed as she started gently massaging his balls, but more--as she started to get into whatever this experiment of hers was. Still, he made himself relax and fully welcomed the pleasure she was giving him, with his shaft perking up more, especially as she started rubbing his shaft! He arched his back a little and slowly squirmed in his restraints. "Ooooh, yeah Mistress, that feels nice indeed...mmmhh, you sure you haven't done this before? You're pretty...good..." He started to say, then lifted his head forward to look at her while he spoke, but then trailed off as something caught his eye. Were her fingers...longer?

The gigolo didn't have much time to contemplate this though, as his shaft was indeed fully erect now, and the lady was asking him for feedback. This time, both his eyebrows raised. The coolly dispassionate way she spoke, how she seemed fully in control of herself now...this was not the same woman who had just hired him! Still, Jetho was paid to be adaptable, so he quickly played along as best as he could. "Ahh. Oh yeah, Mistress, I'm definitely fully ready to go now..." He spoke in a calm but pleasured tone as he gave several gyrations of his hips to emphasize. "Mmmh, well then...what is the next step, Mistress?" He said, keeping up a suave mood, even as it suddenly hit him. The way she seemed to blush on her hands as well as her face, the fact that her fingers seemed longer than they were a minute ago, how she seemed to suddenly be a different person...was she a changeling?

Jetho didn't have much of a strong opinion on changelings, other than a prideful rivalry since changelings were 'rumored' to staff most of a whole competing red light district, Dragoneyes. The ordinary human liked to think that the changeling's 'cheating shortcut' ability to just look like whatever a client wanted at any given moment caused them to neglect real substance and skill in their sex work, an outlook that was only vindicated to him by the fact that Dragoneyes was considered lower-class and less safe than Firelight. Still, he had only actually met a changeling once before (well, that he knew of, he revised in his head upon reflection...there were rumors that, while Firelight employed all races, some of the bordello owners were changelings too...), but he hadn't gotten a chance to really see just how much of a changeling's wildly gossiped abilities were real and how much were exaggeration. This was going to be even more of an interesting night than he had thought...

During all this, off to the side, Hardwall continued to stand and watch, still and unobtrusive despite how huge and space-consuming he was. Both participants were far too focused on each other to be distracted by his presence, and that suited the warforged perfectly. What he was witnessing was quite enlightening and educational, but so very weird. As many times before, Hardwall was once again struck by just how...squishy fleshlings were, yet paradoxically firm. The male's genitals had started floppy and dangly, but before Hardwall's optic sense it had become quite engorged and stiff. He now understood where much of the design of the new component Tam had created for him had come from. So this was how a male fleshling's sexual organ acted when it was being stimulated and used? If Hardwall had not actually already tested the component, he would have been completely and utterly bewildered at how the situation playing out before him could be in any way desirable. However, with the memories of the...pleasure he had felt using the component...now, he could actually guess and imagine why fleshlings would want to engage in activities like this. And the whole reason Tam was doing this was to improve the component she had invented...
