Lukas waited with baited breath. He knew the next labor was coming and he wasn\u2019t sure what it would be. As he waited in his room, he heard a melodic voice. It was Maria De La Mariana, the scout that mentioned the whole deal to Lukas in the first place. \u201cOh Lukas!\u201d she sang. \u201cMadame wishes to see you in the second level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight away, Dr. De La Mariana,\u201d replied Lukas. Maria chuckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLukas, how many times do I have to tell you? It\u2019s just Maria here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight, Doc\u2026Maria.\u201d Lukas swam out of his room and headed up the pit\u2019s wall to the second level. There were three caves in the wall and there was one cave that had pink bubbles coming out. \u201cErm, Mistress?\u201d asked Lukas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn here,\u201d sang Calliope\u2019s voice from the cave with the pink bubbles. Lukas swam into the cave and gasped, quickly turning his back. The cave was a bathroom with a pit filled with pink bubbles and Calliope resting in the bubbles. \u201cCome in, come in,\u201d cooed Calliope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2026I didn\u2019t mean to-!\u201d stammered Lukas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, there\u2019s no reason to be embarrassed,\u201d soothed Calliope. \u201cWe\u2019re all friends here. We\u2019ve all gotten naked before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Y\u2026You\u2019re fine with me looking at you?\u201d asked Lukas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course. I know you. You value a woman\u2019s desires, don\u2019t you? As Lukas turned, she hoisted herself up just enough as her tentacles crawled out of the bath. \u201cIndulge me, won\u2019t you? Join me in my bath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Y-Yes, Mistress,\u201d replied Lukas as he let one of Calliope\u2019s tentacles guide him into the bath. Since they were swimming in water, the liquid used for cleaning was more dense and allowed for bubbles when heated. And the bath felt nice and warm to Lukas. He relaxed almost immediately the instant the fins on the end of his tail touched the bubbles. He simply slid down into the bath pit and sighed. Calliope then wrapped an arm around his shoulders. \u201c\u2026Is this the labor?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, but it should help you accomplish the labor,\u201d replied Calliope. \u201cI want you to tell me honestly, what do you get out of this arrangement?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Well, that\u2019s a bit of a story,\u201d remarked Lukas. \u201cBut to make a long story short, I\u2026I want to be a femboy that never gets ridiculed for being demure. I\u2026I want to serve a powerful lady like you and\u2026well\u2026I want to be accepted for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut you feel trapped, no powerful lady wants a weak servant boy that likes dressing as a girl,\u201d guessed Calliope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, Mistress. And\u2026well\u2026I kind of want that bit of romance too. That a powerful lady will fall in love with me because I\u2019m a demure serving femboy, not despite it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInteresting. \u2026Well, I think you\u2019ve chosen the right path for that, sweet Lukas. Once you complete your third labor to me, then I can properly tailor the remaining nine to helping you fulfill that wish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWh\u2026What IS the third labor, Mistress?\u201d asked Lukas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll find out next month,\u201d replied Ssylphiel. \u201cFor now\u2026tell me, how does the bath feel?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Well\u2026it\u2019s very nice,\u201d sighed Lukas happily. \u201cAnd\u2026well\u2026bathing with you, it\u2019s\u2026it\u2019s rather\u2026lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen what say you join me in the bath as long as you\u2019re here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cY-You mean it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do.\u201d Lukas then surprised Calliope by hugging her. He then sensed the impropriety and released her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cS-Sorry!\u201d he said. \u201cI-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo reason to apologize,\u201d soothed Calliope as she wrapped a tentacle around his chest and stroked his head. \u201cI quite like it.\u201d Lukas stared into her eyes, entranced by the beauty before him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
