Part Nineteen

Returning home from a fun filled day of discovery, my girls were in high spirits.

“Thank you Master Kev, that was one of the funnest outings I've had in a long long time.” Cher said helping Mel Bring in the loaded harvest baskets.

“I'll say, I never knew a farmer's market could be such a fun adventure! And the Cheese! My god, I have never sampled so many amazing cheeses! I kinda went overboard, but ya know how much I love cheese!” Mel giggled as she unloaded the seven or eight varieties she had purchased at the two cheese stalls at the market; Farmhouse cheddar as well as a nice dry double extra sharp cheddar, some Havarti swiss, soft balls of fresh mozzarella. Montenegro, Gouda, and two varieties of creamy goat cheese with herbs and spices.

“Well that's fine, it is all good stuff. I am sure we shall enjoy. Those peaches you picked up Cher were a really good choice, peak of the season. Hillstrand orchards really produces some fine fruit each year. Glad to see them still going strong.” I said placing half a dozen bottles of their ciders in the cooler.

“Seeing how much fun you can have there makes me want to really jump on the expansion so we can start selling there...Wow, I never thought I would throw myself into the farming life this fast...” Sherry mused as she stripped out of her clothes.

“Yeah, and if you pay attention to the basic rules of market selling you both will sell out fast.” I said.

“Could you please explain the rules to us Sir?” My Skunkette asked.

“It's fairly simple actually, I'm sure you will recognize it, having seen both examples of folks obeying and breaking the rules.” I grinned seeing how my morphs were sitting so attentively. I smirked.

“Well BB's stall was a great example. Number one, Stand and greet , actively greet your customers. Nothing worse than seeing someone just sitting there reading a book or chatting on their com, it says to their customers that they really don't want to be there.” I said. Both girls nodded thinking back to their experience.

“I can see what you mean, I remember a few of the sellers for the most part ignored their customers, at first I thought it was us... Ya know, not wanting to sell to morphs.” Mel said, and Sherry nodded.

“I thought that too, but looking back at it they were ignoring everyone. And quite frankly, the stuff they had for sale didn't look all that good, truth be told.” she added.

“Exactly. One thing you will consistently find at the more successful farmer's market stalls was what we farmers like to call... Stack it high and watch it fly. You want to create the illusion of abundance! people are attracted to big piles of stuff! ” I grinned. “When I discovered that, I regularly sold out early. It attracts a crowd, and that in turn attracts more interest and thus, if you handle it right, more sales. But you need a couple of specialized skills to pull it off or you just get swamped.” I chuckled before continuing.

“Number three would be the need to monitor your customer flow. When you attract big crowds you need to make sure people can hand you money, don't get too distracted or flustered by the push of the crowd, so stay sharp. It goes hand in hand with number four, which is, the ability to Talk and sell at the same time. The ability to answer questions and transact sales, is a Verry Valuable Skill. For your customers will bombard you with questions about the farm, the produce, and how it's grown, about you as well as prices and if they can sample things. The ability to smoothly navigate the flow of commerce and conversation takes some skills, but I believe you both will quickly adapt to that fun environment.” I said confidently. My morphs beamed under my praise.

”Thank you Master.” they said in unison.

“You are quite welcome girls. And that brings me to number five; Mirror your customers body language. It can be a subtle skill to master and not come off as mocking, but take the time to study everyone who comes up to the stand and you will soon pick up subtle clues, if you mirror their stance than they will instinctively relax around you and become more open to what you have to sell. And lastly, and something I consider to be the most important one is, To Be happy to see your customers! ” I grinned throwing my arms wide, my morphs grinned nodding.

“Like BB did when she greeted us?” Mel asked.

“Yes! that is the essence of good customer service.”

“And the way the Hillstrands welcomed us?” Cheryl asked. “They seemed really happy that we were with you and didn't care we were morphs, I was very touched when Amy Hillstrand took me aside to show me those peaches, she offered me a sample, and they were the best I had ever had. I remember my reaction made her so happy! I've never tasted white peaches before, that was such a fun and educational day out... Thank you Sir!” my Skunkette squeed.

“Told ya it would be a good life for us here Love.” Mel said hugging her dear friend and lover.

“Thank you love, you and Kev really saved my life, and I am forever grateful.” She murred melting into the embrace.

“It's _ Orlog. _ From the moment I met you there was this ...Zing, and it took me by surprise, but let me tell you there are No regrets. While you may have been created to be 'just' an entertainment model, I am pleased beyond measure that you have 'exceeded your parameters' and been able to adapt to newer opportunities that life has presented to you.” I said joining my morphs in the mutual embrace.

“For the first time, I feel that I am living my life for more than what was expected of me. Don't get me wrong, I love dancing and I love sex, I don't know if it was just programmed into me, or the fact that I can find such satisfaction in the simple country life on a farm, but the fact that I feel like I have escaped my fate, and found the person I can freely call my _ Master. _ It gives me such joy, that I had to take the final step and extend a life bond, I... I never thought I would ever do that. In my mind it was like a fairytale; like a secret wish I never believed I would ever get. I mean, Mel here was the closest thing to a life bond I had ever known. She's my best friend in the whole world, and Kev, you have...” Cher shook her head too overcome with emotion to continue Mel and I hugged her tight between us.

Saturday was Delivery day once again. With the girls help, the orders were picked washed and packaged for delivery in record time. Returning home in under four hours. After lunch we mapped out the space for the garden expansion.

“You really want to put in six more greenhouses and twenty four new beds?” Mel asked as I showed them the proposed layout.

“That's the plan hon, why? You think we need more green houses?” I asked my Mousey.

“Well... Green houses allow us to grow more produce year round, right?” she asked, I nodded.

“Okay so why not put in more of them for the expansion? say, a dozen?”

“Well, they are each Twenty feet wide by forty eight feet long, and contain four grow beds each. They take longer to construct and cost more than just putting in raised beds, but the added produce grown can bring in a better price for out of season crops. But it may take some additional heating which will add to the bottom line.”

“So, how long do those greenhouses take to build?” Sherry asked.

“Depending on the configuration, and available materials, with the three of us working on them? We can probably get them done in a couple of days each, depending on how much prep we do. I can weld up and bend the frames easily enough, You girls will see it really goes by the numbers; Till and prep the beds, set the posts, then put up the framing and set the plastic in place. Then it's just lay out the Water lines then plant your crops and the new greenhouse is in production. Let me tell you, you gals are a real godsend to both me and the farm, I... Am grateful you both wish to dedicate your lives to this.” I said giving my loves a look that melted their hearts.

“You are my heart bond, Master Kev, and I shall do whatever you wish unto my dieing breath, when we met I was a very frightened exotic dancer, facing a life of enforced prostitution. And while I know I was designed for that, I wanted more out of life, and was facing some very bleak choices; For when Mel told me she contracted with you I … I thought that meant I was now alone, and that my fate was sealed, especially after my last night dancing. But you both saved me from that. I am thankful you want me to continue dancing in the VR world, my first foray was quite...Educational. But I find life on a farm to bring me... Not just satisfaction, but a real sense of contentment. That quite frankly I thought unachievable in this life.” she paused, sighing deeply before continuing.

“I... I will do whatever it takes to ensure this dream never ends.” Cheryl sniffed happily.

“Me too Sir.” Mel seconded. I drew my morphs into a hug.

“Well I am glad we are all on the same page here. I am going to go out to the shop and check on how much steel I have, and see if I need to order more before we start, it is never a good thing to run short in the middle of construction. Once I teach you how to run the machinery, and you get comfortable with it, then things will really start flying.” I said as the girls worked on dinner, I went out to the shop.

The next three days were a whirlwind of activity. Despite Sunday being our traditional day off, the girls excitement over the expansion saw us laying out the new production area, staking the new plots and greenhouses, I must admit, their enthusiasm was quite infectious. By the end of the day we had the greenhouses staked out and the beds within string lines. They could really see first hand just what a task it was going to be. But gods love them, it did nothing to dampen their spirits.

“Oh, I am soo grateful that we have the Sauna. I am sore in places I didn't even know I had places!” Mel exclaimed with a groan as she lay on the top bench with Sherry soaking in the healing heat of the Sauna.

“Ooh yeah... When you said that the Sauna is not a luxury but a necessity, I couldn't agree more, after a day like today.” Sherry sighed working her shoulders.

“You gals did an amazing job today, we got way more done than even I figured we would.” I said.

“But it was so fun and exciting to see the way the expansion is taking shape. I mean when you said you wanted to show us the area, I was excited, but the more we looked around the more I wanted to see it become a reality.” Mel sighed arching her back as several vertebra popped, grunting in satisfaction as she settled back onto the bench reaching for a water bottle.

“I know what you mean Mel, my body feels so alive right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm sore in a few places, but it is a good kind of sore, the kind that tells you you actually got something accomplished. And after last nights VR session, I guess I am starting to get popular, it was way more than just dancing. I truly hope you don't mind master Kev?” Sherry asked as she moved down to sit next to me on the middle bench. I shook my head smiling at the magnificent purple skunk morph.

“My dear sweet love,” I said reaching out to caress her cheek, she smiled warmly leaning into my touch. “You are glorious when you dance, I can see just how much joy it brings you. You are well paid for your efforts and the fact that the patrons wish to enjoy you in more carnal ways, is fine with me, you said it yourself; that you love sex, and this way you are safe. You are putting on quite a show for Mel and I, and she seems quite capable and more than willing to service me during your performances, you are a wonderful lover and dancer, and I am very fortunate that you have come into my life. You work hard and you play hard. You are in the prime of your life and should extract all the joy and passion you can. For that is what makes life worth living.” I said hugging her close and cupping a damp furry breast.

“It so amazes me that you are not jealous about the VR patrons fucking me like that, Sir?” she said lowering her gaze.

I lifted her chin to look at me.

“You have done Nothing to be ashamed of love; you belong to me, body heart and soul... I accept that, and I support you in this. Always remember it is just 'simulated' virtual reality sex, like interactive masturbation, it brings everyone a great degree of pleasure, yes?” I asked. Cher nodded with a grin.

“Okay, so what is there to be jealous about? The fact that you are performing in my own home, giving people a good time sharing an interactive fantasy? It's just a part time gig, if you want to expand it you can, but I think you are getting more satisfaction here in the real world than in the Virtual one. Yes?” I asked. Cher nodded.

“True. To me this VR thing is almost like the best of both worlds, I can express myself and really cut loose on the dance floor. I get an incredible rush at seeing the reactions I am getting in the club, and the fact that I can safely play with the patrons without fear of them hurting me, Also the fact I can unplug at a moments notice gives me a real sense of control. And that allows me to fully immerse myself in the experience. And after my shift, I have you and Mel here to take care of me. To love me, and that is more valuable to me than anything I make at the club. Because when we make love it is _ Real. _ It grounds me in just how loved I truly am. And to have Mel here, to know I am loved and cared for and... You're right, there is nothing to be concerned about... Whew! I need to dunk myself. Thank you Master for this wonderful life. Be right back.” She kissed me and exited the Sauna.

“Wow, I've known Sherry for years, and have never seen her open up that much to anyone but me. The life bond has really affected her in so many wonderful ways...” Mel mused. “Thank you for taking her as your companion Sir. It really means a lot to both of us.” My Mousey said.

“You are very welcome sweet Mousey mine. It was _ Orlog. _ I am just glad everything worked out for the best. Didn't you say something about a full moon thing with Bree?” I asked, Mel shook herself out of her reverie.

“Oh my gosh, with everything that's been happening I almost forgot, yes.” she exclaimed.

“Good. Then tomorrow night marks the full of the moon. Please let her know just how much I miss her, and that you and Cher have really brought joy to my life, and are helping to heal the hole in my heart.” I sighed.

“Thank you Sir, she is a wonderful morph, and she made a request of me that I wanted to talk with you about...” Mel said as she explained the request.

“Do...Do you really think that is actually possible?” I asked, at hearing what to my mind was the impossible.

“Yes... tradition and legend say it is possible if the hearts that loved her truly wish it to become so. Than on the night when the veil between the worlds is thinnest, those that have passed on can, for the space of one night, return to partake of the joys of the life they left... I... I have never preformed this ritual, but have read up on it. If you are willing to try, than I know both Sherry and I will do everything within our power to make this a reality for you sir.” My Mousey pledged. I sat there a few moments in quiet contemplation. The idea of once again seeing my beloved Bree was... I had no words, but my heart cried out desperately so I nodded. “Than lets see if we can make my beloveds wish come true. You have no idea what this means to me, Mel. If we can bring this miracle about than it shall truly heal the darkness in my soul.” I said standing to cycle through the plunge pool.

Exiting the Sauna, I saw Sherry standing on the deck looking at the night sky.

“Lovely out tonight isn't it?” I asked as I stepped into the chilled water and just as quickly exiting.

“Oh, yeah, sorry. I kinda got lost looking at the moon... I still can't quite believe this is all real. That my life could be like this.” she said as I came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her soggy fur, resting my head on her shoulder.

“I am glad it pleases you love. You are a consummate companion. Thank you for accepting my contract, and thank you for pledging yourself to me. Bree did the same, and I still miss her so, but you and Mel have helped heal the darkness in my soul.” I said Sherry turned in my arms and drew me into a loving kiss which deepened kindling a fire in my loins. Breaking the kiss she could see the passion in my eyes and grinned in return.

A few minutes later Mel came out and dropped herself into the pool with a squeak. “Burrr! I don't think I will ever get used to that thermal shock! But it feels soo good when I get out.” she said and shook the excess water out of her fur. Looking over at Sherry and I.

The Skunkette had her paws braced against the deck railing arching her back, I had my hands wrapped around her hips slowly plowing her from behind. Mel grinned at the passionate scene playing out before her. Looking up to the low hillock overlooking the garden, she could make out a ghostly silhouette. My Mousey made her way up to it. seeing the form of a Raccoon watching the lovers, she saw a wistful smile on the ghostly raccoon's muzzle.

“...He is truly happy now, isn't he?” she asked in a hollow voice.

“Yes. But he still misses you deeply, and asked me to let you know that he is willing to try the ritual on Sowin to bring you back to him, if for only the space of one night.” Mel said and the ghostly apparition turned to her a light in her eyes glowed brighter. Bree became less translucent as she approached the mouse.

“Thank you Mel, you both are blessed by the one who loved him and please come to me tomorrow when the full of the moon has risen high in the sky. She said passing through the mouse and vanishing into mist. Mel felt like she was wrapped in warmth and light and love.
