Taking place in a not so distant future Legacy is a psychological science fiction thriller set against a backdrop of Neo-noir corporate futurism and transhuman ethics with a healthy dose of existential nihilism thrown into the mix.

In the intervening years since their first inception, the chimeras who have had the good fortune to call SynCity their home have learned to live out their lives while walking along a very fine line. How ironic then, that as laborers, they must toil endlessly, lest they wake to find themselves replaced. That as companions, they possess a modicum of freedom, to live and work however they wish, so long as that work caters to the needs of the one who hires them. That as servants, the only protection they have from the harsh realities of our world, is whatever their owners see fit to give. And that as breeders, though they want for nothing, they are unable even to watch as their own children grow.

But what of those who fall through the cracks, who come to exist on the outskirts of our so-called perfect society? Have they little recourse but to accept the hand fate has dealt to them? Perhaps. And perhaps they are the truly lucky ones. For those gambling everything on one last roll of the dice are those who only have everything to gain, and nothing left to lose.

Chapter Seven : Risky Business.

Sliding up to Johnathan in one fluid motion, Lady proceeded to make herself comfortable while she stroked his chest playfully. “Thanks,” She said. “I really appreciate this.”

Taking a moment to think about all the fun things that he was going to do to her, He said. “Don't mention it.”

Looking towards the front of the car, Lady slipped an arm around Johnathan's shoulders. The inside of the Cadillac was clean enough, which was definitely a plus. Of course she had worked in worse. But if he wanted to start in the back seat, she was more then willing to be, flexible.

Feeling just the slightest twinge of unease the moment that she laid eyes on the chimera with the silver hair sitting in the driver's seat, Lady started to reassess just how much she wanted to be in the vehicle. He was wound just a little too tightly for her liking, and that was never a good thing. “What's wrong with—”

“Him?” Johnathan's posture became aggressive, a clear indication that he held little love for the chimera in the front seat. “He's no one special. Just my personal bodyguard.” His tone was mocking when he said. “It seems he doesn't approve of me helping out strangers every now and then, now does it?”

“Master Johnathan,” Said Kato as he slipped into his role as a bodyguard. Complete with the polite forms of speech that he was supposed to use whenever he was among strangers his tone became tinged with an aura of command. “You have made it abundantly clear that my approval is neither wanted nor warranted. I am here simply to drive.”

Lady blinked as, oblivious to everything else, she felt herself caught up in the sound of Kato's voice. Forget calling it out, She thought to herself. Just imagine someone like that saying your name and . . . Feeling the first stirrings of heat tighten something deep inside her body, Lady had to remind herself that what she was feeling wasn't entirely love. That more often then not it was just some chemical being released by her brain telling her that it was. Still, being in heat was a powerful thing, and with chimeras, it worked both ways.

“You see what I mean?” Said Johnathan, shaking his head. “I'll bet you there isn't even a single fun loving bone in his entire body.”

“Huh?” Coming back to herself with a start, Lady said. “Oh, yeah.” And judging by the tension that's in his shoulders, there hasn't been any love lost on his side either. Feigning an interest in Johnathan that she didn't particularly feel, Lady asked him. “And just, what is it you do that's so dangerous you need someone to guard your body for you?”

His eyes lighting up Johnathan said. “I'm the heir to the King family, and someday, I'll be a member of the board of directors at Exotica Geno-Works.”

So, the son of an executive level employee for Exotica Geno-Works is propositioning a prostitute. No wonder his bodyguard doesn't like me. Forcing a smile onto her face, Lady said. “Well, I'll admit, that certainly sounds, impressive.” Tracing a line down the front of his chest, She tried to let the tension she felt flow out of her. You are nothing to be afraid of, She thought to herself. You're just some, spoiled little rich kid out looking for a night of fun at his daddy's expense. But no matter how hard she tried to relax, she just couldn't get the sound of Kato's voice out of her head. A deep masculine sound that had made her feel warm in all the right places, Lady could feel her body beginning to crave his touch. Being in heat wasn't exactly helping matters much either. His scent alone was already starting to affect her senses by making her imagine all sorts of different scenarios. Scenarios she had thought she had long been able to put behind her.

Resisting the urge to reach out and claim him as her own, Lady had to remind herself that she was trapped in a situation that had presented itself as something of a unique conflict of interest. On the one hand, she was desperately in need of money, and Johnathan certainly looked like he could afford to be charged more then a little bit extra, while on the other, his bodyguard was a chimera, and he looked like someone who would make for a good repeat customer. That, and if his owner turned out to be as much of an asshole as he appeared to be, then she at least wanted to lie with someone who was going to think of more then just his own needs.

Focus girl, She reminded herself. You're supposed to be a professional, and yet you still haven't landed either of them yet . . . then again, so long as I'm the one getting paid to get laid, it doesn't really matter who does the buying now does it? But if the one who should end up purchasing my services just happens to be a member of my own species, well . . .

Making up her mind then and there, Lady leaned over and whispered into Johnathan's ear. “Say, you wouldn't mind if I said hello to him do you? I'd hate to think that I might be doing something to your body that, he just wouldn't like.”

Johnathan just shrugged his shoulders, not caring what she did so long as he got what he wanted from her first. “If you think that you can actually get him to loosen up, then by all means, be my guest.”

You can always judge the worth of a man by how he treats his inferiors. Thought Lady, and then reminding herself that she was still trying to seal the deal, she touched his cheek softly and said. “Thanks.”

Taking hold of the driver's seat, Lady gave her would be customers a face full of black lace panties when she whispered into Kato's ear. “Hey there tiger, you don't mind if I start the night off by having a little fun with you and your employer, now do you?”

Raising a single eyebrow, Kato simply said. “My lady, you may do whatever you wish, as long as it does not interfere with my ability to drive.”

My Lady. Feeling a thrill run through her body as, however unknowingly he had done it, he had still said her name, Lady wondered just how she was going to win him over. After all, he didn't exactly seem like the type to go looking for the services prostitutes tended to provide. And then again, while his reply hadn't exactly been a refusal, making a man burn with desire for her without actually impairing his ability to drive certainly presented itself as an interesting challenge. All of which meant that she was going to have to take things seriously if she wanted him to fall for her.

Now what was it my old instructor used to say worked best in these kinds of situations? Oh yes, physical contact is essential. If you want a man to forget everything but his need for you, first start off with a little pleasant conversation, a little polite teasing, and a lot of heavy petting. And just like that, all the lessons in the subtle art of seduction that she had been forced to learn in the long years she had spent as a companion in training came back to her in a rush.

Climbing over the edge of the seat that served to separate the two halves of the car, Lady had almost managed to make it halfway into the front when she stopped. With more then half of his body hidden by the high backing of the front seat, she felt her breath suddenly catch in her throat as she took in the full sight of him. The soft silver hair that fell past his shoulders was tied back in a loose braid similar in style to the ones that samurai had worn whenever they let their hair grow long, the worn and faded clothing that was in complete contrast to what his owner wore, and yet, all of that was as nothing when it was compared to the sheer size of his body. Even forgetting for a moment the fact that he was a tiger, he was still huge! This doesn't make any sense. The largest known chimera type on record is the Clydesdale, and even they aren't supposed to grow beyond a certain . . . size. Letting the thought trail off as an idea started taking shape in her mind, Lady tried to contain her excitement. He was everything she had ever wanted in a mate, all wrapped up in one easy to seduce package. Now all she had to do was peak his interest, and the rest would simply fall into place.
