Chapter 291 - Do you pick an perk now? - More discussion

Limit Breaker V2 and Pickpocket were definitely useful effects but you had reasons for not picking them currently. Pickpocket being too expensive and only Emma’s effects being available to you, whereas the limit breaker upgrade could be bought but you had no subject that needed a quick push right now.

The two older and more affordable perks required more thought but with all these new choices of your own, you still hadn’t even discussed Emma’s effects.

“What do you think about the effects? I’m happy your passive has you getting more involved with me instead of being on the sideline but again it is changing how you think. The active could also be
 interesting” you say with a smirk.

“You better not mess with me” Emma warned wagging a finger in your face with a smile.

You quickly imagined you and Sarah messing around somewhere only for Emma to suddenly feel everything that was happening without any knowledge of what you were doing.

“I’ll try to give you warning” you joked back, the two of you now happily keeping the casual touches between you going without the worries of last night.

You wanted to get a more serious answer out of her but you heard the sound of footsteps running down the stairs and Sarah rounded the corner into the living room to join the two of you.

“You guys ready to go?” Sarah asked, sitting on the arm of the couch out of reach from you and Emma.

“Yeah sure” Emma replied, looking at Sarah and then back to you.

“Yeah I’m ready as well. We still have a bit of time before we actually have to set off if
” you responded, giving Sarah some extra time to join your conversation before she cut you off.

“Nah I’m good. I think it’s better if we get there early” Sarah answered shakily, both you and Emma glancing at each other when you noticed something was still making Sarah out of sorts.

“Cool, I’ll get my bag then and we can head out” you said, heading into the hallway where you had dropped it earlier.

With the very brief alone time, you quickly texted a short message to Lucy asking if Sarah had revealed any more while they were upstairs, pocketing your phone immediately after once Sarah and Emma followed you out of the room. You double checked you had everything you needed in your bag and put on your shoes, Sarah and Emma doing the same alongside you.

After that, the three of you were quickly on your way out the door and heading down the road towards the school. Sarah kept glancing behind back at the house but once she was far enough away that it was out of view, she stopped acting as paranoid and seemed to lighten up.

Your phone vibrated in your pocket shortly after that, turning away when the message from Lucy appeared on your screen.

Lucy: She should be fine now but I’ll leave the details for another time

The message didn’t give you any closure on what Jess could have possibly done to further upset Sarah but now that you were away from the house, you could tell that Lucy was right and Sarah was clearly in a much better mood.

You didn’t want to ruin it by bringing the topic back up so you just settled between both of them and let them direct the conversation. Emma was oblivious to Sarah’s earlier mood so she saw no reason to act any different and you followed suit.

“Any big plans for your weekend trip?” Sarah asked, jabbing you in the ribs a few times with her elbow and being less than subtle about what she thought you were going to get up to.

“Nothing like what you’re thinking. Grace is gonna be there the whole trip so I don’t think we will get much time to ourselves” you replied, already having some ideas on how to resolve that problem.

“Really? I thought you would have already convinced her by now” Sarah asked looking surprised.

“What makes you think that?” you asked Sarah, not knowing what gave that impression from the brief time she and Grace had spent together.

“Well she had her tongue pretty far down your throat last night so if you can convince her to do that then some alone time seems like nothing” Sarah said with the biggest grin you could possibly imagine.

You looked to Emma with a roll of the eyes but while Sarah couldn’t see her face, she gave you a wink that told you she was up to no good.

“Is that true Max? Did you really do that with Grace? “ Emma questioned, trying her best to act hurt by Sarah's revelation.

You flicked your head back to see Sarah in a complete panic and that was all it took to break Emma, not even managing to keep the act up for longer than 5 seconds before she cracked and a laugh escaped her lips.

The emotional whiplash Sarah had experienced was only solved after she got between you and Emma and shook her shoulders until she promised to not ever do that again, taking longer than she wanted when Emma had to force herself to stop laughing.

“You really scared me then. You two seem to tell each other everything” Sarah said while moping.

“Serves you right for sneaking a peek at me and Grace” you playfully shot back.

“Well you weren’t exactly anywhere private, you were right in the middle of the hallway at the bottom of the stairs. I’m pretty surprised Lucy didn't come find me when I took so long going back to her room otherwise she would have seen you as well” Sarah revealed, bringing up a valid point.

You hadn’t exactly been subtle when you pushed Grace up against the wall and while you had had your back to the stairs, maybe there was a chance Grace had seen Sarah without you knowing, fueling her kink even more.

“Do you think Grace saw you?” Emma asked, taking the words right out of your mouth and looking excited to hear her answer.

“She seemed pretty preoccupied and I was careful about hiding so I doubt it.” Sarah replied, thinking back to her own memories of last night before a blush appeared on her face, giving you a nervous look before turning away.

“You can say what you’re thinking” you urged, getting her to look back at you again.

“...You can be rougher with me you know. The way you had her on the wall was pretty hot” Sarah reluctantly admitted.

If you were being honest with yourself you hadn’t used Sarah’s freeuse kink as liberally as some of the others, treating her more carefully than any of your other subjects. You couldn’t pinpoint the sole cause but a few reasons came to mind that did affect how you viewed her, her being closest to your age taking the most likely one.

Your urge to please your subjects first might actually be a negative when it came to Sarah as she gets off on the fact that you take her whenever you please, a weird catch 22 that stopped you from truly enjoying her kink.
