Sappho Intl (Songs of Silk Book 1) Read online

  “This is your support system. They’re more than a loyal clique—they’re your family. They will be the pieces that will make this ride much more manageable for you and I think you'll find them more than suitable.”

  The heavy, red mahogany and half-rounded front door opened and immediately the heavy, electronic baseline of what sounded like dubstep echoed through to the foyer.

  A group of footsteps trickled across the polished terracotta brick tiles towards us. And everyone casually took a turn to hug and greet PrimaDonna and Flourish.

  Then as the team lined up, all eyes were uniformly on me. I felt like a hot spotlight had settled on my person when Flourish began to move down the line to introduce each member—and yet I remained poised.

  “I’m pleased to introduce Sappho Intl’s Miami hub team: Suez, Midi, Lolita, Kendra and NinaStarr. Team, this is the newest stallion—Silk.”

  I immediately gazed down the line and decided that this was one of the most beautiful and diverse group of lesbians that I’d ever laid my eyes on.

  “Suez and Midi, as you can see are our crown studs. Midi is the deejay and one of the programmers for our social networking site, while Suez will be your right hand man throughout your journey.”

  I asked,” What’s good?”

  They both gave me dap with an immediate acknowledgement of respect.

  “Life and livin’…”

  “We chillin’.”

  “And for these three lively ladies. Whether you call them the Torpedo Trio, the Bermuda Triangle, or the Sirens; when you see one, the other two can’t be far behind…Lolita, Kendra, and NinaStarr.”

  “Welcome to the Playhouse.” They all giggled and waved flirtatiously.

  “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

  “The pleasure’s all ours.” said NinaStarr speaking for the trio.

  “Why do they call you that?” I asked.

  “Maybe one of these days you can find out for yourself.” Kendra had leaned into my ear and whispered boldly, while Lolita winked and NinaStarr smiled.

  “Okay ladies, cool your engines. Please don’t pounce on her before she’s stepped foot in the Playhouse. You’ll have all weekend to get familiar with each other.”

  PrimaDonna began to move towards the entrance hall while Flourish continued.

  “Alright, Silk. Let’s give you a tour of the house and get you settled into your room.”

  The trio sang in unison,” Nice to meet you, Silk.”

  Lolita giggled,” Can’t wait to see you later.”

  “See you later.” I smiled.

  Flourish shot them all a cold glance, as we walked from the atrium through to the entrance hall and they all began dancing wildly to the music.

  We moved throughout the immaculate lower level of the mansion which included the social room, gourmet kitchen, dining room and the Trio’s bedrooms. And I was immediately surrounded by Spanish-style arched openings, intricate crown moldings and top-of-the-line hand plastered walls, while PrimaDonna informed me that I would be staying here for a month to continue my growth within the organization, as well as prepare for Cloud9—which was next month.

  We resumed our tour by making our way back to the central hallway and ascending the vaulted stairwell to the second level where my room was located. My hands tingled with anticipation, as my fingers danced over the custom wrought-iron railing and I looked out of the windows to the gorgeous view of the bay. At the top of the stairs we stopped in front of large, red oak double doors where Flourish proceeded to remove the key that unlocked the master suite. PrimaDonna informed me that I would hold onto this key and that this floor also included the other studs’ rooms, as well as a fitness room.

  And then the doors opened.

  I thought I could hear angels singing as we entered the immaculate suite that would lay witness to my transformation over the next few weeks. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven, as we crossed over the vast solid birch floor together to the full wall plasma and state-of-the-art entertainment system. And I just couldn’t believe that I even had my own luxury Jacuzzi bath in the master bathroom. I looked up privately to peer through the skylight in the open-beamed cathedral ceiling to thank the heavens for gracing me with the universe’s glamour and glory. And in this moment time was stilled and the sun’s rays peered in to acknowledge and agree that I was truly blessed.

  We stepped down to the sitting room which overlooked the resort style pool that set adjacent to the bay in the backyard. The room boasted a fireplace and French doors that provided us access to my own private balcony. It seemed once again, I was bathing in luxury. And I was quickly getting used to showering the universe with my gratitude for it.

  They led me to a small table in one of the corners of the balcony. Then we all sat down and took a second to soak in the scenery.

  If this was the extent of my temporary lodging, what grandeur would my more permanent location display? It was stunning and it all took my breath away.

  “Silk, this is your master suite for the next few weeks. I hope that it meets your standards…” When PrimaDonna spoke it was like the aura of this masterpiece-of-a-mansion spoke through her. The mansion was sublime and she oozed sexy right along with it.

  “Wow. This is all sooo…this is more than I could’ve ever dreamed or imagined for myself.”

  “You’re humble. That’s a very attractive trait for someone who’s just had the whole world handed to them. All of our resources are available to you, Silk. You’ve worked hard for us in these last few years and it’s time you start getting used to the idea of someone taking care of you for a change. You’ve earned it.”

  “Well thank you...for everything.” I projected, as I filed away PrimaDonna’s very, first compliment to me.

  I looked around us further and there seemed to be a small kitchen tucked in the far corner of the balcony. There was a morning bar with a stone tile counter, maple cabinetry, and a hammered copper sink with a mini-bar. It came equipped with a full range of liquors and glassware.

  I took the opening that had been given by PrimaDonna to make a subtle move to become a little more informal.

  ”Would you ladies care for a drink? I make a great mojito and I could take one myself.”

  “Why not?” Flourish and PrimaDonna responded casually. It seemed that the tour and the Miami sun had wiped them both out for the day.

  I began to look through the liquors and cabinets. And though it was a small distance from them, it was close enough for me to pick up on their conversation.

  I heard Flourish sit back and begin to sing my praises as I began to find all of the main ingredients needed to make the perfect blend. I also heard PrimaDonna compliment Flourish on the upgrade in my attire.

  “Yeah, Lourdes was telling me that she was one of the easiest studs to overhaul and that he actually had a great time with her.”

  “Silk really has the most natural, striking features that I’ve ever seen.”

  “She’s got to be the finest diamond stud that I’ve ever fucked.”

  “Flo! I can’t believe you just said that…”

  “I know right…I can’t help it, Prima. I tried to hold it in but…I mean…damn look at her. She has a cool fire…like an intoxicating power…I swear she might have even invented sex. Girl, I gotta be careful with this one…she might fuck around and have me whipped around here.”

  I smiled to myself as I slowly mixed together rum, club soda, and lime.

  “You’re going to have to check that though, Flo, because you have to remember that Silk is here to be shared.” PrimaDonna reminded Flourish. “Besides—any friend of PrimaDonna, doles out the whipping and never gets whipped…under no circumstances…especially with our history.”

  They both laughed.

  “Prima, you know that you know how to pick ‘em. I just know that she makes it really hard to maintain. I’m getting wet just thinking about it. I mean, she taught me some things …and the things that she does with her body. Oh, my God…I
mean, I’ve seen women…umm how do I say it?…e-ject them…selves…on those pornos…”

  Prima laughed and Flourish laughed with her.

  “Eject themselves?”

  “Yes. Eject…I mean, Prima, she made my body gush all over and that hasn’t ever happened before with any of my other lovers…guy or girl. I’m…I’m just baffled…and just cannot stop thinking about it…”

  I always had a natural knack of finding a woman’s g-spot rather quickly. It was truly a unique talent to be able to satisfy a woman in this way. It surprised me that so many women had never had the pleasure of meeting their own g-spot and the full potential of their own orgasm. It also tickled me whenever I was obliged to facilitate that initial meeting and to witness the resulting reactions to the new discovery. Some cried with relief and ecstasy. Some were afraid of the unknown. And some were simply overcome with joy and gratitude. No matter what it was, I’d quickly grown accustomed to the various reactions to making a woman release with overwhelming ecstasy and many women had been blessed to experience my natural gift.

  ”…I mean, look at her. She’s a god.”

  “Flourish, she’s a god among gods... which is why I chose her. All the world loves a lover and Silk will definitely give the other studs a run for their money. But you have to control yourself. Goddess, get a grip!”

  She snapped her fingers in front of Flourish’s face, not unlike a psychiatrist wakes a patient under hypnosis.

  And I beamed internally in complete elation. When women shared things, it was like unconsciously waving a carrot in front of a rabbit. It usually drives women to take it as an invitation to feed their curiosity, unbeknownst to the provider of the gossip. This meant that Flourish had unknowingly provided the platform to pique PrimaDonna’s interest in me and the chess game had officially begun.

  “Girl, you’re right. I’m trippin’. Hey Prima, you know she has a beautiful tribal all over her body. It’s pretty impressive…”

  “Flourish!’

  “No but, Prima. Get this. She has the symbol within the tribal right above her abs. I thought that was weird…seeing as she’s never seen the symbol.”

  “Hmm, that is interesting…”

  “…to say the least…”

  I added the final touches of sugar and mint to complete the perfect mojito. I then placed the glasses on the serving tray and headed back towards the table with as much oblivion as I could muster.

  "I don't know about both of you, but to me mojitos are only meant to be enjoyed in Miami... It just doesn't have the same flair anywhere else ...”

  As they sipped their drinks, they both began to relax a little.

  “Mmh, this is mixed quite delightfully, huh Flourish?”

  “This has got to be the best mojito, I’ve ever had. You know when you go to some bars, they water down the drinks so much that it drowns out the lime and mint. But this—this is really good!”

  The mojitos were a success. PrimaDonna began to loosen up. And in addition to the gossip, I began to see a more casual side of her.

  She set her sapphire eyes on me firmly and stared into my eyes deeply as she sipped her drink seductively.

  “Yeah, the mint complements the lime very well. I haven’t had a good mojito in a while.”

  “Silk, you’re a keeper!”

  “Now that’s what I like to hear.” I sat back in my chair and got comfortable.

  “I know we've been throwing a lot at you lately. I hope that you've been able to adequately adapt to all of the changes?”

  “I'm all for change if it's in the right direction.”

  “There’s a lot of love to go around at Sappho and we like our staff to be in peak condition. You represent us.”

  “Well, it takes a lot of love to evolve. And what’s life but a series of evolutions? Last time I checked, I have a strong pulse for life and adaptation is my specialty.”

  The mojitos continued work its magic, as Flourish had removed her sandals and began seductively rubbing her toes lightly up my leg.

  PrimaDonna casually settled further into her seat.

  “Well, I have to admit, so far change looks great on you.”

  “Yeah, I think I’m getting there. Slowly but surely, I’m getting there.”

  “Good. You’ll be thoroughly prepped and ready for your introduction into SocialClub9 and Cloud9. The bar is set high for you because you’re the first stallion selected without any connections to the core. However, you’ve met all of our expectations, so far, and we can formally attest to your potential. We’ve no doubt that you will fit in with the rest of the rank.”

  “You will meet both of our other stallions, Sir Sheik and Pharaoh, at your SocialClub9 grand opening which occurs right before Cloud9, the first week of March.

  “At SocialClub9, we’ll handle all grand opening preparations and then let you take over the reins gradually.”

  The buzz was taking Flourish over as she continued playing footsies with me under the table with a seductive smile in her eyes. I jumped a little as she’d worked her feet towards my lap.

  PrimaDonna looked at Flourish and nudged her under the table.

  “Behave, naughty girl.”

  “I think I might have to get another one of those mojitos to cool me down.”

  PrimaDonna giggled and added. “You mean, heat you up.”

  “With this Miami sun, it’s already hot enough don’t you think?”

  “Uh uh Silk…you should know there’s no such thing as hot enough, when you’re in the 305. Especially after the other night.”

  “Flourish!’

  “It’s okay Silk…You’ll come to find that Flourish and I share almost everything. And there are absolutely no secrets between us. What else would you expect of best friends who share the type of history that we’ve had together?”

  Prima shook her head as Flourish sat back in her seat and smiled.

  ”Flo tells me that you have a certain symbol tattooed on your body.”

  “... You mean this symbol.”

  I carefully lifted up my red Armani v-neck to point out the symbol and to cash in on the opportunity to show off a subtly chiseled eight-pack.

  “It’s like the symbol of a female fitted inside a ‘power on’ symbol.”

  Both women gazed as if both hypnotized and shocked at my boldness. Flourish smiled wider while I casually allowed my shirt to drop back down.

  “Yes, that symbol.” PrimaDonna cleared her throat and quickly regained her composure.

  “Well, the symbol was there throughout my parent's home when I was young, but I don't remember much about it. There are gaps in the memory of my childhood around the time they died. I don’t remember anything from age seven to about eleven. But that’s one of the few things that I could recall for some reason. So, I drew it for the tattooist to include in my tribal.”

  “The sign happens to be the mark of the Sapphic Trust and Sappho Intl. It symbolizes the power of woman. It’s a reminder to never underestimate the creative power that a woman has been naturally given.”

  “Silk, there are no coincidences and I believe that you have the power to bridge the gap between the newcomers of our organizations and the upper echelon of the Trust. I have a feeling that you’ll be one of the keys critical in advancing the Trust into the digital age of the 21st century. AND I believe you’re gonna make a lot of money doing it.”

  “You will be staying here for one month until your mansion is fully furnished. We’re still shipping some things in from some other countries…Things you might enjoy in the mansion to set the stage for your ascent within Sappho Intl. And I can already see that this year, Silk, it truly is YOUR stage within our world.”

  “Well, if this world is my stage…then I will be the star player.”

  Both of our eyes gleamed with private understanding.

  “Well, play on playa…Now, can we get another Mojito, love?” Flourish was feeling really nice by now.

  PrimaDonna smiled in agreement. “One mor
e drink and then we’re gonna let you get acquainted with your team, Silk. You have all weekend to play and then you’re all ours.”

  Little did PrimaDonna know that she was gonna be all mine—the game was well under way.

  “Do you prefer him or her?"

  “Either one’s cool. I’m genderfluid.”

  NinaStarr and the rest of the Trio inquired, as they passed the freshly packed pipe to me first. She gave me a long, wet seductive kiss and then I toked the glass elephant that’d been passed my way.

  They called it “kiss, puff, puff, pass.” And the new spin on the age old ganja circle was in full effect. So, I took a puff and curled my jaws to allow it to create a straight shot to my lungs. A ring of smoke hovered, like a jellyfish, away from my lips to kiss the sky and I instantly felt the shot fill my lungs down to the floor of my belly. I held it in briefly and absorbed it deeply into my brain’s cavities.

  “This is some pretty good shit.”

  Lolita beamed. “That’s that Cali kush. And it’s more where that came from…courtesy of me and Suez. Since we both just came from the west coast, we each get a zip shipped out each month, special delivery—strictly for personal use though—and Suez usually smokes most of it.”

  “Yeah, she smokes it like a chimney…the rest of us only smoke every blue moon.”

  I released what little remained as I sat back to enjoy the company of the Torpedo Trio. They were delighted to enjoy my first night in my master suite with me and were even more enthralled with my presence.

  Suez and Midi where still finishing up a mini-Madden tournament that they’d begun right before I came. They suggested that the femmes could have the pleasure of the initial introduction and I politely let them know that I would get at them tomorrow, so that we could bond and I could whip they ass at the same time—I was a boss when it came to Madden football and would jump at any opportunity to polish up my game with a little friendly competition.

  However, tonight would be the girls’ night to get acquainted with me. And we were off to a real nice start. The Gorillaz provided the melodies to a lazy star-filled night as we all sprawled on the oversized, outdoor canopy beds that were provided on my private balcony. I’d placed a few small logs on the fireplace and “Rhinestone Eyes” echoed across the bay as the smoke from our circle filtered through the surrounding sheer, white veils of the canopy.
