Bubbles, Second Arc:
Part 1: Smile
Maki opened her eyes as light peeked through the window. She blinked a few times to clear her blurry vision, then smiled as Bubbles’ slumbering face came into focus.
Maki drank in the sight of the naked giantess on the bed, her chest gently rising and falling. Her hair was splayed around her head like a strange halo, and Maki could see all the scars running the length of her. She recognized the stab wound on the side of her breast, a brighter pink compared to the others.
Maki bit her lip as she reached out, running her fingers along a dark line on the sleeping woman’s hip. She could feel the firmness of the scar tissue atop her dark skin and savored it. Maki traced her fingers upward along the definition of Bubbles abdominal muscles with a smile.
She heard Bubbles moan softly, her face twitching as her cyclopean eye slowly opened.
“Hello, sleepy girl.” Maki murmured, pressing herself against the larger girl. Bubbles wrapped her arms around her, drawing her close enough to kiss Maki’s waiting lips.
“Hello.” She murmured, nuzzling her cheek. Maki smiled warmly as she drew her hand across her caramel flesh.
“You look good...taste even better…” Maki pressed her lips against Bubbles again before running her tongue over her soft lips.
“I feel….rested.” Bubbles sighed. “Still…..confused. But rested.”
“Do you feel good?” Maki smiled, pressing her forehead against her cheek.
“Yes. I….would be smiling.” The giantess shifted, laying on her back to look up at the ceiling. Maki couldn’t stop grinning as she moved, laying her head on Bubbles stomach as one hand idly caressed her hip.
“I love your abs, darling. So hard…” She pressed her lips against them with a chuckle before looking upward between the valley of Bubbles breasts to her blushing face.
“I work for them.” She muttered lightly. “Thank you.”
“Mmm. Thank you for letting me enjoy them.”
“No. For...last night…” She swallowed once, trying to find the right words.
“Mmmm. Few here can keep up with me. You have good stamina now, darling.” Maki giggled.
“I...am still confused. Yet I feel calmer. More….at ease.” Bubbles explained, her hands fidgeting briefly as she grasped at words.
Maki’s smile faltered when Bubbles’ face frowned suddenly, her eye looking to the light pouring from the window.
“What’s wrong?” She traced little lines with her finger along a long scar running from Bubbles rib cage to just under her navel.
“I run before the sun comes up. I missed that today.” She muttered. “I like to see it rise. It’s very pretty.”
“Oh? Is it better than what you woke to today?” Maki asked, sitting up to straddle Bubbles waist with a naughty smile.
Bubbles drank in the sight of the naked olive woman as she leaned down, pressing her larger breasts against her own. She hovered over Bubbles face, her hair tickling her caramel cheeks as her nose brushed against the larger girls.
“No.” Bubbles grasped Maki’s cheeks, pulling her into a greedy kiss. She moaned against the large amazon, running her tongue sensuously over her darker lips’.
“Mmmm. Best thing to wake up to.” Maki murmured hotly, nipping gently at Bubbles’ tongue.
Both women groaned when they heard a knock at the door. Maki sat up, still straddling the larger girl as she glared at the intrusive sound.
“We could ignore it.” Bubbles murmured, her fingers brushing down Maki’s hips.
“Mmmmmm. Would that I could.” She sighed, reluctantly swinging her leg over to get off the bed. She stretched her arms over her head, her hips swaying as Maki stepped over discarded clothing. Bubbles found herself transfixed by that sway, her cheeks flushing.
Maki opened the door, frowning when she saw nobody standing there. She stuck her head out, looking up and down the hall and finding it empty. As Maki started to close the door she saw something flutter on its surface and peered closer.
Maki’s face turned from a curious frown to an angry snarl as she tore a piece of paper down before closing the door harshly.
“What’s wrong?” Bubbles asked, sitting up.
“Someone’s being an asshole.” Maki muttered. She sat back down on the bed, proffering the paper to Bubbles.
The paper was blank except for a crudely drawn caricature of a mouth, upturned in a maniacal smile.
Bubbles stared at it for a moment, one hand touching the scars on her cheeks unconsciously. She felt anger and shame welling in the pit of her stomach, the contentment she had moments ago melting as she turned away.
“Bubbles...It’s someone being dumb.” Maki sighed, crumpling the paper angrily and tossing it to the ground.
“They’re mocking me. My pain.” Bubbles whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. Maki reached her arm out to comfort the poor girl, but Bubbles shrank away from her touch. The olive woman sighed, feeling crushed as Bubbles drew her long legs up to her chest.
“If I’m to be honest, it’s my fault.” Maki groaned, rubbing her face. “I never told you how everything worked here with the training and the teams….I may have been selfish and caused animosity between you and the others. I should have explained this months ago.”
“I don’t understand.” Bubbles murmured, looking at the smaller woman. Maki intertwined her fingers, her smile gone and replaced with a neutral grimace.
“I’m a Master….I have slaves. I train them, and I find homes for them. I have a system, a training system in place that has proven extremely effective in teaching the necessary skills.” Maki turned, folding her legs together as she faced Bubbles. She steepled her fingers, hazel eyes catching Bubbles’ singular orb.
“Right now there are twenty in training. What I do is I assign them into two separate groups that end up working together. The older members of the groups teach newcomers the basics, with more specialized things addressed by myself.” Bubbles noted pride in Maki’s voice, a smile appearing on her olive face.
“I evaluate the members of each group and assign a group leader if one doesn’t become apparent, then let them name their group for assignment and some competitive purposes. This time around I told them to go arthurian, so we have Bedivere and Gawain currently. Both teams coordinate to alternate duties daily. If one team is working the manor, the other will be working the grounds and what not alongside my regular staff. They also coordinate with each other for non-work days, as a maximum of two per team can have the day off at one time.”
“This enforces cooperation.” Bubbles murmured.
“Exactly. As they progress, I single out members on the teams that are more suited for different duties. Diana, as an example; simply awful at working with her fellows, but extremely talented when it comes to medical and science pursuits. I took her out of Bedivere and she’s been working with Margaret. Two particularly strapping fellows, Barty and Jack, were good at carpentry and the like, so Brie got two apprentices from Gawain. Craig and Michelle are very good chefs, so they work with Marcello in the kitchen when not aiding their teams in the cafeteria on the appropriate days. Every few months I’ll evaluate each person and see if they’re ready to go.” Maki rested her hands on her knees.
“What about sex?” Bubbles asked, a curious tone in her voice. Maki paused a moment, tilting her head strangely towards Bubbles.
“I evaluate them. I make sure they know what part to stick where at the very least. Ones that are more skilled I cultivate and teach.”
“They must be expensive.” Bubbles muttered, looking away. Maki frowned and leaned forward, resting her arms on the larger girls knees.
“I won’t apologize or deny it; It’s as much for my benefit as theirs. It helps satisfy my libido, and prepares them for things they may be asked to do.”
“What am I? Preparation or satisfaction?” Bubbles voice turned sharp. Maki sighed, moving up the bed to wrap her arms around the larger woman's shoulders, her naked breasts pressing against Bubbles’ arm. The giantess flinched lightly, but couldn’t help but feel some of her tension leave as Maki rested her head against her cheek.
“You are special, and that’s the problem. You’re not my slave; you’ve no place in that system. You are something else, and I don’t think the others know what to make of you….how you fit into their lives. You’ve been here over six months; they clearly don’t see you as a guest. You’ve not been assigned to a group, so they don’t see you as a peer. Besides Brie, you’ve not worked with any of the other staff besides myself, so you’re not one of them.” Maki pressed her lips against Bubbles’ cheek with a sigh.
“Let me be honest; you’re also quite intimidating. You’re a massive woman who towers over everyone here. You’re also someone who’s gone toe to toe with their Master, someone who only works out and trains for battle. You also have a six pack of abs that you could crush rocks with.” Bubbles couldn’t help but laugh, a small smile spreading over Maki’s face.
“You really like my abs.” She chuckled, leaning her back against the headrest of the bed
“I told you I do.” She giggled lightly, before sighing. “They don’t know what you’re going through, what you have gone through. All they see is this stoic figure who doesn’t talk to anyone, doesn’t socialize…”
“Who doesn’t smile. Can’t smile.” Bubbles murmured, staring down at the crumpled paper. “Who looks like a monster…Who is--”
“Stop it.” Maki’s tone turned stern, one hand grasping Bubbles chin to turn her gaze back. “You’re not a monster.”
“I feel like one. That picture...made it worse.” Bubbles murmured, the feelings and thoughts from the previous evening swirling through her once again.
Maki sighed, putting one hand on Bubbles’ shoulder as she put the other on Bubbles’ larger knees. The giantess felt her push her legs straight gently before straddling her caramel waist again.
“My sweet Bubbles…” Maki pressed her palms against her caramel neck, her thumbs stroking her skin gently. “I wouldn’t give myself to a monster as I have with you. I’m a nympho, there’s no denying that, but I would not be in this bed, touching you….” Maki slowly ran her hand along Bubbles jaw, eliciting a soft sigh from the caramel giantess. “If I thought for a moment you were truly a monster.” Her lips brushed against Bubbles, who tilted her head in search of a kiss..
“I would never kiss a monster…” She pressed her lips hungrily against Bubbles, who pushed back with a moan. Maki felt Bubbles arms wrap around her hips, pulling her tight against her firm, taut body as Bubbles tongue searched for hers.
“Know this. Believe this.” Maki murmured hotly as she broke the kiss. Bubbles panted for a moment, catching her breath.
“What about them?” Bubbles whispered, looking back to the paper on the ground.
“You’ll have to do something. Confront, ignore, adapt...I can’t tell you the right way, darling. You….” Maki hesitated for a moment, her finger tracing Bubbles collarbone lightly.
“You can always leave, if you want.” Maki swallowed softly. “I told you that and I meant it. I won’t stop you.”
“Where would I go? What would I do?”
“I’d not throw you to the wolves, darling. I’m not Howard.” Maki sighed softly, her other hand rubbing Bubbles shoulder “A plane ticket to anywhere in the world. Back to The Bloc if you’d like...maybe the Far East. Enough money for a small spot...You’d have to figure out a job. Maybe a trainer? Maybe legitimate fighting? I daresay your look may lend to a public persona.”
Bubbles exhaled, the wheels in her mind turning as she rolled Maki’s words around her mind. She stared into Maki’s hazel eyes, seeing a touch of fear wriggling in the corners of her face.
“What do you want?” Her baritone rumbled in Maki’s ears.
“It’s not about me. Not about what I--” Maki squeaked when Bubbles hands grasped her cheeks, pulling her lips to hers fervently. Maki melted against the larger woman, hands roaming her caramel form as she moaned softly.
Bubbles broke the kiss after a few moments, her hands encompassing both of her cheeks as Maki looked at her with adoration.
“Stop. What do you want, Maki?” Bubbles asked softly, her thumbs brushing her cheekbones gently.
“I want you to say you’ll stay. I want it so much it hurts.” She breathed, her hands grasping Bubbles wrists gently. Bubbles stared at her for a few moments, the silence stretching between them as her mind turned and Maki waited with baited breath.
“I’ll stay. I...need to see where this all goes.” Bubbles watched the smile spread across Maki’s face, feeling a warmth spread from her belly to her cheeks.
“Thank you, Bubbles.”

I'll be planning to schedule the next installment for Sunday some time. Goal will be to release 2-3 a week until you've all had a chance to enjoy the new stories. Once that is done I'll get to adding them into the theater mode inside of the game.
