A Quick Dip - Part 02 (Patreon)

Aubrey’s face sharpened, button nose tilting downward as the assistant scowled at her from above the dark plastic rims of her glasses. Her brown eyes shifting his in the sun like embering coals. “Regardless…” She growled. “…we need anything at this point. We need the steam to go live, on time, today.”

Rolling her eyes, Mira handed her glass to the younger, shorter, woman. “And we will. My cubes melted, take five and get me more. I’ll have a plan when you get back.” Smirking, Mira lifted her chin. Leering down at the smug little PA.

A drop of condensation slid down the glass, up and over Aubrey’s finger. Her shoulders twisting in slow motion and her free hand rose smoothly. A small black device angled towards her.

A metallic smell hit her nose and mouth; the taller woman winced as sparks raced from sternum to extremity. Not exactly painful, but noticeable. Blinking as a pale pink light blinded her, covering the small plastic thing in Aubrey’s hands. The PA’s face cracked open, pouring malice onto Mira’s lawn as she leant in.

For her part, Mira contracted. Raising her hands and blocking the ray, venom tickling her tongue as she rocked forward. Grass tickled her ankle, snapping back and forth against her skin in the windless lawn. Everything felt off, the younger woman’s expression seemed even more intense. Mira’s stomach fluttered, butterflies pulling her skyward.

The twenty something chuckled softly, her voice deeper and more menacing as Mira’s gaze lifted to maintain eye contact. Aubrey was…growing?
