Spector Veil: Oh! Get it girl!
Serena The Feral Goddess: Oh, I am.
Serena felt a small twinge of guilt at lying to her friend. She put her phone on the charger and started to get ready for bed, taking off the mask, wiping off the make-up and sliding into her silk sheets naked. She lay awake in the dark, her head spinning from the physical reaction of seeing Assassin on screen. She had not considered that by introducing Assassin to the group it would open up the possibility that one of the girls would want to date him. Spector wouldn't say anything to the group about Serena's claim over Assassin because she was very big on girl code. She sighed heavily, this was a lie, one that could come out and ruin not just her friendship with Assassin but could hurt the Feral Family she had founded. Serena rolled over to her side. Why did the thought of Assassin fooling around with anyone in the Feral Family make it feel like she could hardly breathe? Because he makes you feel seen with the consistency of his messages, likes, and comments, a little voice in the back of her head said.
Had she really become that dependent on their conversations? If she was answering honestly, it was yes. Assassin and Serena chatted all day, every day using the app and had even begun text messaging for the last 2 weeks. He had been sending her photos of his kids and himself, and it had been great sharing photos back and forth. She found him to be a good distraction when November was busy with his wife or his other hook-ups. Assassin, in a way, was giving her the attention that she craved... Does that mean I am using him? The thought unsettled her. She never wanted to consider that she was using anyone. She had been used before. And was currently being used by November, and it didn't feel good. Had her desperate need for consistent male attention driven her to this? Serena's phone lit up, and she reached over on her night stand to see what it was. It was a text message from Assassin. Her heart pounded in her chest as she opened the message and held her phone above her head to read it.
Assassin: Hey are you awake?
Serena: Yeah.
Assassin: So we both can't sleep.
Serena: It appears so.
Assassin: I think I got adrenaline from the stream. Your crew is feral as hell.
Serena snorted a short laugh, shaking her head. She had mentioned in her personal streams before that her Feral Family was a bit crazy and the chats were always filtered. Did he really expect they were not just like her?
Serena: What did you expect from a group that calls themselves The Feral Family? A f*****g tea party?
Assassin: HAHA. No. But I am pretty sure I made you blush tonight.
Serena rolled her eyes at the phone, made her blush? No he had not. Made her wet... Yes, achievement unlocked. She decided to brat him a little bit with a message, two words that would get him going. He was a Primal Dom so he liked brats. He had once told her he was a Brat handler because that was better then Brat Tamer. When she asked him what the difference had been, he stated that a Brat Tamer wants to tame a Brat, a Brat Handler is a Dom who manages the Brat and likes her Brat behaviors. Serena actually liked Assassin's explanation because not all Dom's can handle a Brat. She pressed send on her short but bratty message.
Serena: Prove it.
Assassin: Can't. But I saw the way you were looking at me.
Serena: You don't know where I was looking. There were titties galore in the other boxes. I was staring at those.
Assassin: Sure you were. When are you going to admit it? You like me for my body.
Serena: Never. Cause I don't.
Assassin: Liar.
She was a liar. She did like his body, she honestly would have loved to climb on him like a rabid monkey and bite his neck, shoulder, chest anywhere her mouth would reach. She would also have licked him all over gladly if she couldn't climb him. He looked strong enough to at least pick her up and pin her to a wall though... Where did that thought come from? Damn. Calm the Feral f**k down. She turned the conversation to a safe topic.
Serena: Are you always awake at this hour?
Assassin: Nah, just horny.
So much for sleeping habits being a safe topic... She thought before deciding to go with the flow and just ride it out.
Serena: Well, give yourself a hand (winky face emoji).
Assassin: How about you give me a hand?
Serena: Can't too far away.
In response to that Assassin sent her a photo of him in his bathroom with the camera pointed at the mirror and his pants were unbuttoned and open. He was completely shirtless, and he was staring straight into the mirror in a Dominant fashion. His hand resting on the opening of his pants. Serena's mouth dropped, and she shifted in her sheets a bit. She couldn't think of a witty comeback and wasn't sure why he was sending a photo like that, so all she did was send a lame emoji.
Serena: (Wide eyes' emoji)
Assassin: Speechless?
Serena: Since when do we send those kinds of photos?
Assassin: I figured maybe we could release tension on both ends, and it might help us sleep. If you want to. No pressure.
Serena: I feel like we are getting into dangerous territory...
Assassin: Why?
Serena: Won't your wife mind?
Assassin: No, we are open poly. The only time we need to discuss things is when a relationship becomes serious. So it's okay if we play around as long as we aren't dating.
Well, if she was ever going to bring up the topic. Now is the time. She took a dep breath and rolled to her side, preparing for the conversation she really didn't want to have. If she said this, would he think she was interested in him? She wasn't sure how he would take the story. If he didn't care, it would show he was a player too. If he did care, it would show her the man he is. But would he take it to mean that she wanted him?
Serena: Okay, well before we do or do not decide to "play". I wanted to bring something up to you.
Assassin: Shoot.
Serena: Are you planning on joining more of The Feral Family streams?
Serena held her breath for a moment waiting for his response. She didn't even look away as the chat bubbles would appear and disappear as he typed.
Assassin: Yeah, it was fun. If you guys let me, I would love to do it again.
Serena: Okay. Has anyone in my group followed your page?
Assassin: Yeah, the Spector chick followed me during the stream, and Cursed One did too after the stream.
Serena: Okay, then I really do need to bring the next part up...
Assassin: What's up?
Serena: You're a man of few words, you know that?
Assassin: You are changing the subject. Spit it out Goddess.
Serena: Have you messaged anyone yet... Like privately?
Assassin: No. Just you.
Serena: Okay, good. So look, we have a rule. It's like Feral girl code to us OG girls. So we all talk outside the app. Like we have group chats and personal chats and talk literally all day long. We all stick together.
Assassin: Usually how it goes.
Serena: No, meaning we will kick people out if they play us. Like message all of us and try to get photos or sexting. A few weeks ago, we literally kicked one guy out and blocked him. Like all of across the board.
Assassin: You all kicked someone out?
Serena: Yeah, so long story short... There was this guy who we let join our boxes all the time. He was feral as hell, so he fit right in with the group. Well, we all mutually followed him. He checked all the boxes of hotness for us. He had great arm candy, gorgeous eyes, had homemade b**m toys, and best of all had a Scottish accent. It made us all drool. Well, Spector Veil and this guy started to talk privately. I know, cause she showed me all the photos and would read me the messages from him. They got to the point where naked photos were exchanged. He then tried to message me through the app and I ignored his flirtations and requests for naked photos because Spector is my girl. I also didn't tell her though, because she seemed really excited about him.
Assassin: So he was trying to play you both.
Serena: Well… It gets worse. Cursed One eventually told me that he had been trying to message her as well, but she never responded. I told her good cause he was messaging Spector, and she seemed really into him. But I let her know that he had also tried it with me as well. We decided to keep the information between the two of us, not wanting to start drama in the group. But then he messaged Cupid Angel... Cupid Angel gets attached to people who show her attention. She told me he really seemed to like her, and she was excited about him, and they started to send regular photos back and forth. But not the spicy kind of photos.
Assassin: Basically, he was trying to sext the entire group.
Serena: You got it. But we are super protective of Cupid Angel because she has gotten hurt so many times in the past. So I told everyone in our group chat what was going on and everyone talked about what they experienced with him. We all trust each other. Cupid and Spector were not happy he was trying to play all of us. So we as a group blocked him from all our media's and put out a warning to other masked women creators.
Assassin: I wouldn't do that though, that is just an Asshole move.
Serena: I know... But the point is ... If you wanna flirt with someone on a serious level within our girl group... You can't skip around. You can pick one and stick with them cause if we all talk and find out that you've been talking to more than one of us like that. Your cut. No second chances.
Assassin: I understand. But I'm not gonna let that happen.
Serena: Good, I like having you around. And I don't want to block you. Just do me a favor... If you do choose someone in the group, please don't pick Spector... I love her with all my heart, but once the thrill of the chase is done, she drops guys so fast. One of the reasons she goes cold turkey on men sometimes is because she feels guilty because she is married. They have an open relationship, but it is still really new to her, so she will feel guilty and pull the plug if a guy gets too close to her. I want to keep talking to you and I don't want you to get hurt either.
Assassin: Hey...Don't worry about all that. There is only one woman I want in your friend group.
Serena felt a lump in her throat and her heart began to beat wildly.
Serena: Who?
Assassin: You. I want you.
Serena froze as she read those words. She reread it to make sure she was seeing the message correctly. Was he serious? Or was he just doing the super feral flirting thing? Reading the words made her heart pick up speed as she read it for a third time. I want you. Serena took a deep breath to try and slow her heart rate down. How was she supposed to respond to that? He wouldn't make a joke during a conversation like this she didn't think... But in reality she had only known him a month. And they platinically flirted as friends... Didn't they? Was this not platonic anymore? Was he saying he wanted to flirt for real? So many questions ran through her head and she didn't know how to respond to him. After three minutes of panic, she saw he was typing.
Assassin: You still there? Or did you fall asleep on me?
Serena: I'm here.
Assassin: So... do you wanna play?
