#49 of Iron Dragon


Nodrog walked over to Tabbatha. She was a little heavy but still cute. Her brown hair always neatly pulled back and always wearing very conservative clothing. Her only outstanding features were her mouse ears and tail. She was an animal hybrid like Jenny.

While very professional at all times, Nodrog could tell she was a little nervous around him and Marko. "When are the other events I will need to attend?"

"Tuesday evening is the first. I find it to be the most pleasant. Wednesday will be rather busy with several off site meetings. There is a board meeting Friday." Tabbatha said as she scanned the calendar in here note pad.

Unlike Jenny, Nodrog did not need to keep notes to remember things. "Will I need to bring anything to them?"

Tabbatha quickly navigated the small computer. "No. Kitty will be able to fill you in more about your role at these events. Except the gala, you will find the rest to be a little dull."

"I always look forward to this gala. It is a nice change to just talk and leave business for another day. Dr. Picard is hosting this year correct?" Marko asked.

"Yes he and his wife are having it at their convention center." Tabbatha said.

Marko scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Most will probably bring her chocolate... I like your idea for the flowers and a bottle of wine. If I remember correctly Lilies are her favorites."

Tabbatha smiled. "How you can remember all of those details is amazing. I will order an arrangement. Should I purchase a bottle or select something from your own rack?"

"I do not drink much, see if I have something that they might enjoy." Marko said.

"With that taken care of, we are scheduled to meet with the medical staff to go over some tests they are running." Tabbatha said.

"Would you like to tag along Nodrog?" Marko asked as he got up and pulled on his sport coat.

"I would." Nodrog said and held the door for Tabbatha and Marko. He had not spent much time with the other departments outside of the defense part. Like Marko he was rather good with remembering names, at least of those still living.

Friday morning Nodrog sat down with Kitty to go over basics for the things they would be doing. Nothing to different then he had done in the past. Stand around and only speak when spoken too. Except they could talk to each other or other body guards and assistants freely.

"As Tabbatha said, the gala is rather pleasant. We will sit at a table with Mr. October and one other guest; along with their assistant and or body guards. They give a few speeches and the host presents the director of the children's hospital a very large check." Kitty said as they sat at a small table in Marko's office.

"Besides dinner they usually have a little dancing." Kitty said.

Nodrog smiled. "I hope you know how."

Kitty blushed at his rather straight forward comment. Marko and Nodrog both laughed a little as she stuttered an answer.

Nodrog munched on a bar as he changed out of his suit and into more casual attire. He knocked on Stacy's door exactly at one o'clock.

"Come in!" Stacy said loudly from his bedroom.

Nodrog came in. He closed and locked the door behind him. Stacy came out, he was pulling his hair back in a pony tail. "Did you eat lunch?"

"I did." Stacy said as he sat down on the couch to put on a pair of sneakers. "Okay I am ready to go.

Nodrog smiled, Stacy was clearly excited. Azule slowly formed and gave his usual enthusiastic wave. Nodrog held out his hand. "You won't feel a thing."

Stacy took hold of Nodrog's hand and followed him into the shadow. Like Alice had her first time, he had closed his eyes. The sudden warmer temperature caused him to open his eyes. They stood in a large room in what he figured was a castle.

Nodrog walked over to an elf and signed them in. Stacy followed him and was surprised at the elegant cursive handwriting Nodrog had. He could make out a few letters, but it was a language he didn't know.

"Elfin is the common spoken and written language." Nodrog said as he placed the quill back in its holder.

Stacy followed Nodrog closer then Jenny or Alice. Why he wasn't really sure, because it was clear most gave the dragon a wide berth as he walked through the castle and on the streets.

Nodrog pulled open the door to the little shop and the bell announced their presence.

Lilith glanced up from a book she was writing in. "Hello. Can I help you... Oh you must be Nodrog's friend." Lilith said and blushed as Nodrog came in after Stacy.

"Stacy, this is Lilith." Nodrog said.

"Pleased to meet you." Stacy was a little surprised Lilith was the same height as him.

"Right on time. I am Michaela." The graceful elf said as she glided across to them.

"This is Stacy." Nodrog said.

"I can see why he is so confused. The poor thing's aura is a mess... No matter that is why you brought him here." Michaela said softly.

Stacy was a little embarrassed. "I really appreciate you taking the time to help me."

Michaela lightly laughed. "And so polite. If you will wait down here Nodrog, I will take Stacy and examine him to see what all he needs taken care of."

Stacy followed the tall and graceful elf upstairs and into a small room. It had a single small bed and a chair, with very little else. "I wasn't sure if it mattered, but I brought my medicine. In case you needed to know what was in it."

Michaela took the small package from him. "That was very thoughtful."

"Well I will give the humans a C for trying." Michaela said as she read the ingredients of his pills. "As is most of their efforts, vulgar and heavy handed."

Stacy stood by nervously as Michaela set the pills on a counter. "Don't worry, I will have you right as rain. I need you to take off your clothes so I can examine you."

Stacy did as he was told and set his clothes neatly on the bed. Michaela did a little poking and prodding at him, though not as rough as the doctors did. She looked down his throat and checked his ears and eyes. He laid on the bed when she instructed and checked his abdomen and lower.

"You did not go through puberty. That will require a little alteration." Michaela said and wrote down a few short notes. "I will go down and mix the potion. Come down once you have gotten dressed."

"Okay." Stacy said and started getting dressed. Nodrog and Lilith were talking as he came back down. Michaela must have gone to a different part of the little shop.

Shortly Michaela came up from the basement a vile roughly the same size as a bottle of cough syrup in her hands. A pale blue liquid filling most of it. "Lilith would you hand me a sleeping potion?"

"Sleeping potion?" Stacy asked as Lilith handed Michaela a bottle of pink liquid.

Michaela opened both bottles and put several large drops of the sleeping potion in the other vile. "The transformation is not painful, but it could be traumatic to watch. Since it quickly changes physical parts of your body."

"Another mage covered the topic at a meeting we went to earlier in the year. He had found he had gotten better results if the person was sleeping." Lilith said with a comforting smile.

Michaela put the lid on the potion and gave it a quick little shake. Turning the blue into a violet. "Drink this after you are in bed. Make sure to drink every last drop. I will warn you the effects are rather quick. Which is why I suggest you wait until you are in bed before drinking it."

Stacy looked at the vile and admired the violet liquid in it. He looked up from it when Michaela and Nodrog began talking in Elf. It was a pretty language to listen to. He was not sure why they had switched to it to discuss the price... Unless they did not want him to know.

Nodrog and Michaela did come to a quick agreement and Nodrog produced a black sphere in one hand. Stacy watched as he reached into the black sphere with his right hand and pulled out two golden daggers.

Michaela's eyes brightened as he held them out to her. "These will due very nicely."

"I thought as much. I really cannot thank you enough for all you have done thus far." Nodrog said.

Michaela looked down to Stacy. "You would have to be blind not to see how happy this makes him. I do hope you know someone who can help with the changes he will go through."

Nodrog chuckled. "One of them has all ready happily volunteered to do just that."

"I am glad to hear that. If you have any concerns have Nodrog bring you back here any time." Michaela said softly.

"I will and thank you very much." Stacy clutched the vile tightly and held it close to his chest as they walked back to the castle for the instant trip home. Once home he set it down next to his alarm clock on the night stand.

They met everyone for dinner and eventually Stacy and Nodrog went back to his apartment. "You really don't mind staying?" Stacy asked as he got ready for bed.

"Not at all." Nodrog said.

Stacy sat in bed with the small vile in his hands. He looked up at Nodrog. "What if it doesn't work?"

Nodrog kissed the top of his head. "It will work."

Stacy popped the lid off and the sweet aroma hit his nose quickly. He put the bottle to his lips and quickly downed the potion. He didn't even have time to think about the taste because he was out cold once the last drop went down his throat.

Nodrog chuckled at how quickly the potion took effect. He took the empty vile from Stacy's hand and covered him up. Nodrog turned off the lights and went out to the living room and sat down on the couch. He had brought the electronic book Alice had gave him.

Stacy sat up a little groggy once the morning light shown through her window. Her dreams were rather strange and her mouth was dry. Stacy got undressed and walked into her bathroom. She took a drink of water and focused on the figure looking back in the mirror.

The very obvious lack of male genitals being the first thing she noticed. The second being her more feminine figure, she had hips and a little more bust. Stacy quietly squealed with glee admiring her new body in the mirror. She was the same height most of the changes were slight, but made worlds of difference.

"How do you feel this morning?" Nodrog asked as he leaned against the door jam.

Stacy quickly wrapped herself in a towel. The way Nodrog looked at her caused several new feelings. "You could have knocked!" Her voice was slightly higher in pitch, but not dramatically so.

Nodrog chuckled at her sudden modesty. "Now that is cute." He turned around. "Now will you tell me how you feel?"

Stacy blushed. The other day she would have paraded around naked for him anytime. "Sorry, I think I have more to get used to then I had imagined."

"That is understandable. Take a shower and I will wait out in the living room." Nodrog pulled the bedroom door shut as he left.

Stacy hung the towel back up and turned on the shower. Which took a little longer once she started exploring her own body. A tiny moan escaped her lips as she found her clit. The feeling and curiosity quickly took hold and Stacy was on her knees masturbating as the hot water showered down on her.

She sat on the tub floor breathing hard after her first orgasm as a women. "Holy fuck..." Stacy said between breaths. This wasn't getting ready and then she remembered there was a metal dragon sitting out in her living room.

She stood up and finished taking a shower. Stacy was glad most of her clothes still fit. Unfortunately bras and panties where not in that category. The bras did not fit at all and the panties were a little tight. "Of course they don't dumby, you are a girl now."

She pulled on a thick sweat shirt since she lacked a bra. With her hair pulled back with the usual chrome berets Stacy opened her bedroom door. Nodrog had gone back to reading. "Well I suppose I should see if Alice or Jenny can help me find some new under garments."

Nodrog chuckled. "If that is the only problem you are doing rather well."

"I feel different, but I don't feel different. I feel, a little more self confident. And I feel really happy, like a giant burden was lifted from my shoulders." Stacy said as she put on sneakers.

"From the little peek I got, you look good enough to eat. Lets go see if Alice or Jenny can help you with any questions you might suddenly have." Nodrog said with a smile.

Alice and Jenny both smiled as Stacy walked into their apartment. They certainly noticed her higher self confidence. "So?" Alice and Jenny asked.

"It worked. I am now one hundred percent female." Stacy said with a smile.

"Hooray." Alice and Jenny cheered and both got up and gave her a hug.

"Um, you are a little different." Jenny said.

Stacy blushed. "Yeah, I was hoping one of you could help me get some bras that fit."

"I am sure I can manage that." Alice said.

"Hey now." Jenny said.

Stacy and Alice just laughed. "I have been bra shopping with you, and you can't keep your hands to yourself."

"Why does that not surprise me?" Nodrog asked and chuckled at Jenny's outburst.

Stacy and Alice left Nodrog and Jenny behind and headed out to do some shopping.

Jenny pulled the electronic book out of Nodrog's hand and sat on his lap. "Did you at least get a look?"

Nodrog chuckled. "Maybe..."

"A maybe isn't going to cut it." Jenny teased.

"Alright, I did get a look, a very good look." Nodrog said with a wicked smile.

"And?" Jenny asked.

"She is very attractive now." Nodrog kissed Jenny. "A pity I didn't steal a taste."

Jenny giggled. "Bad dragon indeed." Jenny squealed as he pulled her back with him as he laid out on the couch.

"Good thing I have you." Nodrog kissed her again.

Stacy was greatly relieved Alice could help without too much touching. Her new body seemed to be a great deal more sensitive than her old one. This one seemed lighter and more nimble.

Alice giggled at her. "What are you doing?"

Stacy blushed. "Trying to get used to the new me. Everything works a little different and feels different."

"I would suppose that should be expected. There is something else rather important we should pick up while we are out." Alice said.

"And that would be?" Stacy asked as she followed Alice through the mall. Alice eventually stopped in front of things she had never thought she would ever need.

"These. We don't know when your first one will be, so you should have them in your apartment just in case." Alice said.

"Oh." Was all Stacy could manage to say. Alice picked up a couple things and they headed off once more.

After they had gotten back to her apartment. Alice put the other things in the bathroom while Stacy put away the new clothes they had bought. "It's a shame, I had some really cute things." Stacy said.

"I thought we found you some very cute things." Alice said as she turned off the bathroom light.

"We did. I guess I was a little more attached to the other me then I would have thought." Stacy rounded up the things that did not fit.

"I would be a little worried if you weren't. You did spend twenty three years one way. You may have physically changed overnight, but I would bet it takes a little while for your brain to catch up." Alice said and leaned against the wall as she put her new things away.

Now it was Alice's turn to be embarrassed. "So did you, you know... this morning?"

"Try out some new things?" Stacy asked.

"Yeah, you did have a very talented monster with you." Alice said.

"I didn't go that far... just a couple fingers in the shower this morning." Stacy said sheepishly.

"Are you going to wait until Randy is back in town?" Alice asked as they went out to the living room.

"I want too, but the three of you are rather tempting..." Stacy said.

Alice looked down at the floor. "Trust me I know about temptation."

"Alice... be my first." Stacy said and looked her in the eyes.

Alice looked at her. She was as nervous now as she had been the first time with Jenny. Alice took Stacy's hand. "Okay, but not out here."

Stacy followed Alice back to her bedroom. They had already taken their shoes off and left them by the front door. Alice pulled Stacy close and lightly kissed her. It was a little nervous, but after two light kisses Stacy's lips parted allowing Alice to kiss the girl more passionately.

Stacy looked up into Alice's eyes as the mouse slowly undressed her. Alice had gotten past her little nervousness.

"A little like an early Christmas." Alice said quietly. With Stacy completely undressed Alice shed her own clothes and lay partly on top of her. Alice kissed Stacy and ran her hand down to her very sensitive nipples.

Stacy moaned at the very vivid sensations Alice sent through her new body. "Oh god Alice..." Stacy moaned as Alice teased her mound.

Alice licked one of her nipples and just teased the outer lips. Alice moved so she was completely on top of her. She kissed Stacy's lips, then her neck, slowly kissing down lower.

Stacy was not sure what to think as Alice took her higher and higher. What she did know was her little experiment in the shower paled in comparison. Stacy cried out as Alice brought her to a climax from going down on her.

Alice sat back up, she looked down at Stacy. "I do hope you are going to return the favor." Alice said with a coy smile.

Stacy smiled as she sat up. "Of course."

The two giggled as Stacy got on top of Alice. They kissed again and Stacy tried her best to return what Alice had done for her.

Chapter.

Alice and Stacy ended up napping in each others arms. Alice's phone ringing in the background brought them both around with a giggle.

"Hello." Alice said as she sat back on the edge of the bed.

"Where are you?" Jenny asked.

"Stacy's apartment, I was helping her put things away." Alice said and Stacy giggled as she got ready for bed.

"Oh. We didn't expect you to be gone so long." Jenny said and after a brief pause. "You are both naked aren't you?"

"Maybe. I will be home in a bit. Love you." Alice said. The two of them laughed louder after Alice hung up the phone. "She is going to be so mad at me."

"I didn't mean to get you in trouble." Stacy said as she pulled on her night shirt.

"Don't worry about it. Maybe now you can wait until Randy is back in town to go farther." Alice said with a smile.

"Good night and thanks for everything." Stacy said.

"Any time. Good night." Alice said and she hurried off to their apartment.

"You were fooling around." Jenny pouted as Alice walked in.

Alice sat on Jenny's lap. "Maybe, kiss me and see if you can tell."

Jenny smiled after their lips parted. "You are a naughty mouse."

"I learned from the best." Alice teased.

Nodrog pulled Alice onto his lap. "I don't know if that is entirely fair."

"Maybe you should punish me." Alice teased sweetly. As Nodrog and Jenny both laughed, that was probably a bad suggestion on her part. She was still slightly aroused from being with Stacy, making their punishment that much more enjoyable.

Sunday Alice and Jenny spent much of the day playing in the snow. Stacy had gone for a swim to see if any of her performance in the water changed. She was pleased to see a little improvement in some areas. The scale in the bathroom said she had gained a little weight. But with the looks she had gotten from the other pool users, it was not anything to worry about.

Samantha was surprised to see Stacy in the open shower of the women's locker room. "You seem a little different." Samantha said as she washed off from her morning workout.

"That's because I am a little different." Stacy said and turned enough Samantha could see.

"I guess congratulations are in order." Samantha said and reached for her body wash.

Stacy glanced around. There was only one other person in ear shot . "Nodrog got a potion to change me." Stacy said quietly. She leaned back and rinsed the shampoo out of her hair.

"I guess that means you don't need to worry about secrets anymore." Samantha said.

Stacy smiled. "Thank goodness that was getting old. It does raise some new problems though."

"Such as?" Samantha asked.

"I can get pregnant now. Didn't have to worry about that before." Stacy said and giggled.

"Yeah that is a big deal." Samantha said stopping to soap her own hair. "We should have a little party or something for you. It is a rather big change and something you have always wanted. Am I right?"

Stacy turned off the shower she was using. "I have wanted it for a long time."

"There you go. I bet a few of us can throw together a quick little party." Samantha said.

"That does sound fun." Stacy was glad to not have to hide in a stall to change or rinse off still wearing her swimsuit. She waited for Samantha to finish showering and the two headed to the cafeteria to grab some lunch. After they dropped their gym bags at their apartments.

Nodrog and Sherman were sitting at a table by the windows. They each smiled at the two women walking over to them. "You both have impeccable timing." Sherman said as they sat down with them.

"Why is that?" Samantha asked after she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I was about to ask Nodrog a very serious question. It has weighed heavy on my mind and I am sure it has others." Sherman said.

"Okay." Stacy giggled.

"I think you are getting carried away." Nodrog said.

Sherman shook his head. "No, it really has bugged me since nearly day one. I have even asked Jenny and Alice about it."

"So what is this all important question?" Samantha asked.

"What is it with you and windows? I and your two roommates have noticed you spend a great deal of time looking out windows. Doesn't even matter where you are." Sherman said.

Nodrog looked at him strangely before laughing. "That is your important and serious question?"

"Actually he has a point. You do seem to like being by them." Stacy said

Nodrog looked out the giant windows to his right. "What is the longest any of you have gone without seeing the sun?"

His question caught them all a little by surprise as did the next one.

"What is the longest you have gone without being outside?" Nodrog asked. He waited for them to think of their answers.

Stacy wiped a tear from her eye. "I know why, you don't have to tell me."

Sherman and Samantha both figured it out. "I'm sorry, that was a stupid question."

"It wasn't a stupid question, you just have not been through what I have." Nodrog said.

"The same reason you don't sleep. Because you have spent so long doing just that." Samantha said.

"Exactly, four hundred years in a forgotten cell, where not even light could reach." Nodrog said.

"Except you are an earthen creature of the night..." Sherman added.

Nodrog chuckled. "Now I know the reason behind the question. There is the light from the stars and the moon. Even with no wind, the air outside is not stagnate."

"Speaking of stars, how far away did we go?" Stacy had problems before being around the two of them, now it was a little more so. Especially Nodrog, that lingering hunger seemed more intense now; than it had been when laying under him naked.

"Not very far, just the other side of this galaxy. Sherman has been the furthest, since the planet the Shadow King lives on is a galaxy further away then Andromeda." Nodrog sipped at the large glass of tomato juice he had.

"Alright so how far away have you been?" Samantha said.

Nodrog looked across the table at her. "Farther than any earthen telescope or space craft has ever seen."

"And yet you stay here?" Sherman said.

"All of you amuse me." Nodrog laughed when the three responded with a different vulgar insult. "Actually it is rather simple."

The three of them turned, following his gaze and saw Alice and Jenny heading over to them.

"Love?" Stacy asked.

"And a home." Nodrog said and gave her a wink.

"Done for the day?" Samantha asked as the pair pulled over a couple extra chairs.

"Heck no, just starving at the moment." Jenny said and quickly swiped a couple fries off of Stacy's tray.

"Well then get your own." Stacy pouted and scooted closer to Nodrog.

Samantha ignored Jenny and Stacy. "Hey Alice, we should throw a party for her becoming a woman."

"That would be kind of fun. Let me get some lunch and we can make plans." Alice said with a smile. She grabbed Jenny's ear as she stood up. "Come along kitty."

"No fair, no fair, no fair..." Jenny squealed as Alice drug her along.

"A party for what?" Sherman asked.

"Girl stuff, so none of your business." Samantha said.

"As long as there is not any excessive drinking." Nodrog said with a toothy grin.

Samantha scowled at him. "If I could hurt you, I would."

"Actually, I am not one for drinking much to begin with. Dad did quite a bit and it usually lead to... trips to the ER." Stacy said. They didn't need the details since the bastard was dead. Strange how easily that thought crossed her mind, maybe the potion did help with more than just the physical side of things.

Samantha blushed. "Okay we can skip the booze."

"Today is your second full day of the new you. Leave the past behind and only move forward." Nodrog said and put his arm around her.

"I'm glad I have friends like you... I suppose Monday I should go down to HR and change my gender. Actually I will have to do that on a lot of things." Stacy said as Nodrog let her go.

Sherman raised an eye brow and perked up his ears. "Change your gender... Did I miss something important?"

Nodrog smiled. "Only she is really a she now."

"When did that happen?" Sherman asked.

"Friday night. Nodrog bought me a potion that made me the gender I wanted to be." Stacy said.

"I can vouch for her." Samantha said.

Nodrog chuckled again. "Alice made sure everything was working last night."

Stacy blushed beet red. "To be fair I did ask her."

"I would have thought Jenny would have jumped at the chance." Sherman was a little worried how easily it was to make that kind of rational thought, and actually find it rational.

"Actually I went to both of them with the intent of just having them help me get a few things... Alice put a stop to Jenny doing it. The other sort of just happened." Stacy said.

"Yeah, I am still a little miffed about it." Jenny said as they came back with their own lunch.

"Sorry." Stacy said as they sat down at the now crowded table. Not that she minded since it put her closer to Nodrog.

"Catlin, I thought you were out of town?" Nodrog said as she walked up to him.

"Hello. Sorry for the interruption." Catlin said as she walked over to Nodrog.

"You are not interrupting anything." Sherman said.

"I had to come back to get a couple papers... My mother passed away." Catlin said softly.

Everyone at the table gave her their regards. Stacy never met her own mother, for reasons unknown, or simply not told. She had a few ideas and wished that she did not have any at all.

"Thank you. I just wanted to thank Nodrog for filling my spot as Mr. October's body guard on such short notice." Catlin said softly.

"Don't worry about it. Take as long as you need." Nodrog said.

Catlin blushed a little. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Thanks." She quickly hurried off once more.

"I guess that means you will be out of town all week." Jenny said.

"No, everything is in town this week. In fact only one of them will be outside of normal business hours." Nodrog said and finished his tomato juice.

"I will most likely help Frank and Kathrin Monday. Thursday I will be able to help you go over your preparations, Sherman." Nodrog said and leaned back.

"That works for me. I am supposed to have a meeting with Jade and Dr. Phillips Monday or Tuesday." Sherman said.

"Oh, you must be going to the big charity party the CEO's hold every year." Stacy said.

"I am, it is Tuesday night." Nodrog said.

Alice smacked Jenny's hand away from her chocolate shake. "Get your own." She turned to look at Stacy. "How do you know about that?"

"Dad went to it every year, because he did have legal and legitimate businesses. Pretty sure it was the only nice thing he ever did. It is always on a Tuesday for some weird reason." Stacy could not remember it being on any other day.

"So, now that you are done swimming and eating... Are you going to come play with us?" Jenny asked.

They all looked at her. "Oh god damn it not that way!" Jenny yelled. Her out bust drawing a fair amount of attention to them.

"I think she meant if you wanted to bring your snow board out." Alice giggled.

Stacy smiled. "Sure."

"We still need to make plans." Samantha said as she quickly got up to follow the other girls.

Nodrog and Sherman sat quietly until they were far enough away to not hear them. They then both laughed rather loudly. Causing a little more of a scene, but they didn't really care.

"Well it was rather easy to find my knight in dark armor." Roslyn teased as she walked over to the two of them. She smiled a little as the two clearly admired her figure.

"Always a pleasure to see you." Nodrog said with a smile.

"From the little I heard, you seem to be doing rather well." Sherman said.

Roslyn sat down in a chair. "Thanks to him. How busy has Marko been keeping you?"

"I have a few days this week I am busy. But I am mostly free." Nodrog said.

"He has been keeping me considerably busier than Nodrog." Sherman grumbled.

Roslyn smiled. "I know I just talked to him."

"Did you have a nice visit with your family?" Nodrog asked. Stacy had left behind her root beer so he decided to finish it off.

"I did, and after a little talk this morning. I am even employed once more." Roslyn said.

Nodrog held her gaze. "So we will be graced by your presence more often?"

Roslyn laughed. "The two of you don't get a choice, since I took that old man's spot as your pilot."

"Well that is a nice surprise." Nodrog said.

"You might be a little bored. We haven't been very busy." Sherman said.

Roslyn leaned back. Her shirt lifting enough to give a peek of her flat abs. "I have other duties as well. Ginger was looking for something a little less hectic, so I will be flying the boss around too."

"I didn't know you could fly choppers." Sherman would now admit of being jealous of Nodrog, because she was gorgeous for her age. Nodrog never said they did anything, but he was rather sure they had.

Roslyn laughed. "You and Jenny were napping during that part of the conversation. I am the pilot equivalent of Alice. If it is supposed to fly, I can fly it. Hang gliders to supersonic jets. That tank with rotor blades you call a chopper is a cinch."

"Are you keeping your place or moving here?" Nodrog asked.

"I am moving but not to this building. Ginger offered me her little apartment over with the other pilots. A little more private over there. I don't suppose I could talk you boys into helping me move?" Roslyn asked with a flirty little smile.

"I don't think it would take much." Sherman had always been a sucker for a pretty smile and a please.

"It won't be till after the first of the year. Have to wait for all the paper work crap, and Ginger needs to pack up her stuff." Roslyn said.

"Were is she going?" Nodrog asked.

Roslyn leaned forward. "I believe St. Louis... Her fiancé got a pretty good job there, and as luck would have it. There is a small branch of this company there."

"Speaking of fiancés... have you asked Samantha yet?" Nodrog asked.

Sherman glanced over his glass at Nodrog. "I had hoped to get off early enough to go looking for a ring first."

"Ah young love." Roslyn said and laughed.

"Good thing it won't take long for us to go over things Thursday." Nodrog said.

Sherman leaned forward and on the table. "What made you want to fly us around?"

Roslyn smiled. "I had thought about something safer, but you know what?"

"What?" Sherman asked.

"Safe would be boring as fuck." Roslyn said straight faced.
