Chapter 2: Chapter Two
Reaching around Amelia, Travis extinguished his cigarette against the top of his desk and watched as the smoke faded into the air around him before deciding to intruded on Amelia's prior train of thought. One hand around Amelia's waist to hold her close and another slipping down her leg. Travis smirked at the way she let out a gentle yet excited gasp as his hand transitioned from the length of her skirt down to her stocking clad legs. He almost felt bad when he used this as an opportunity to squeeze Amelia's knee and felt her nearly jump out of his lap in the process.
Amelia squeaking with surprise as she giggled and promptly realized just why Travis kept his arm around her waist as he began to tickle her knee with a quick grab. Amelia found herself reduced to a giggling mess as she tried to push Travis's hand away from her to try and escape his onslaught. Though barely successful as she realized Travis's hand was already poised to strike her sides as his fingers jabbed into her causing another jolt coupled with a surprised squeak and giggle.
"Would you stop it! I'm trying to work here!" Amelia playfully snapped between half clenched teeth, her hands managing to snatch Travis's wrists as she pinned them to the arms of the chair. Her eyes glaring at him from over her shoulder as a playful giggle still shined in her eyes.
"Is that what you two call it?" Talia Harley called out as she stood at the entrance to the lab, her arms crossed over her chest as she smirked at both Travis and Amelia while cocking her brow.
"Talia!" Amelia squealed as she hopped up from Travis's lap and nearly sprinted across the room to fall into her girlfriend's arms. Talia' wrapping an arm around the small of Amelia's back as Amelia draped her arms across Talia's shoulders. The two women meeting with a kiss before parting and staring over at Travis who made his way over to his partners.
Talia was easily old enough to be both Travis's and Amelia's mother. Being forty-five years old with two kids of her own, the oldest being a year younger than Travis, Talia had heard enough jokes about robbing the cradle to last her the rest of her lifetime. Despite her age however, she still held a youthful complexion of an American Irish woman. The fare skin and green eyes a sign of this though her straight dark oak hair suggested a mix of something else. If there was one way Talia showed her age, or at least her occupation as a fire fighter, it was in how she kept her hair short and her body toned. Her broad muscular shoulders pressing outward in the leather jacket she wore with her powerful legs hugged tight inside of the boot cut riding jeans that squeezed her thighs and butt. Couple this with the towering height of being five foot eleven inches and she was easily the tallest of the trio.
That same height forcing her to lean down as she brushed a lock of hair over Travis's ear and pressed a kiss to his lips as Travis returned the gesture. The two holding this for a moment before parting and staring longingly into one another's eyes.
"Hey~" Talia said.
"Hey~" Travis replied.
Their relationship was anything but conventional either and something of complete chance when any of them really stopped to think about it. While Amelia may have been Travis bodyguard and secretary, she was also Talia's girlfriend as well with Talia also sharing Travis with Amelia as their mutual boyfriend. The three of them agreeing to a polyamorous relationship purely on chance after Amelia entered their life and was given an opportunity no one could pass up. Work for an up-and-coming corporate entity Travis owned while being under Talia's protection with one of Night City's most fearsome gangs known as The Last Responders.
While their relationship was purely professional at first, Amelia only having a degree and student debt with hardly any real income of her own, the relationship turned romantic when she confessed her feelings for both Talia and Travis. With Talia and Travis already in a committed relationship, they figured that life in Night City was too short not to live and love when they had the chance. After which they never looked back and simply enjoyed each other's company as a trio and throuple as some may call it.
"So what are you harassing my girl for anyway?" Talia said as she made her way across the lab to the open computer chair. Her motorcycle boots clomping across the floor as Amelia's more dainty heels clicked just behind her. After Talia took her seat, Amelia sat on Talia's thigh while Talia rested her hand against the curve of Amelia's back.
Amelia sticking her tongue out at Travis to tease him with Talia's prior remark of ownership.
"Your girl?" Travis scoffed as he sat in his own computer chair and scooted closer to his computer screen. "Need I remind you that she was my secretary first?"
"Need I remind you that I got to kiss her first?" Talia teased.
"Okay that's cheating, you were feeding her a shot of liquor and she didn't even know she was bisexual till you did that."
"I mean I feel like that just gives her even more credit to her ownership over me~" Amelia teased as she draped an arm across Talia's shoulder.
"Yeah we'll see who owns who in a second here." Travis said under his breath as he took a swig from his energy drink.
"Big talk from such a little man~" Talia cooed with a sultry lilt to her voice only to bust out laughing at the way Travis choked on his energy drink mid swallow. "Hahahaha! Oh honey I'm sorry are you okay? Do you need mouth to mouth?"
"I don't know, I think it's his first time having lips, we might need to teach him how to use them~" Amelia said with the same seductive lilt to her voice as she watched Travis's face turn a bright cherry red as he forced himself to set his drink down. "God you are such a bottom."
"Oh like you're a mommy dom supreme?" Talia retorted towards Amelia. "I bought you a collar with your name on it and you wouldn't take it off for a week. Not even in the shower!"
"I remember that yeah, that was interesting to explain to new clients coming into the office." Travis said after dabbing his mouth and chin with his sleeve. His lips already sticky and sweet from the energy drink he spit all over himself.
"Well, I mean I coordinated the collar with my outfits so it didn't look too out of place." Amelia protested.
"And you did such a good job of it sweetie, you looked so good~" Talia said in that signature tone she used from before as she had to cover her mouth to try and hide the smirk on her face.
Travis watching as it was now Amelia's turn to turn bright red as she blushed and squirmed in Talia's lap. Travis thinking to himself 'so that's what that looks like.'
"Anyway, what are you two working on, I don't wanna interrupt anything anymore than I already have." Talia said around a giggle as she pulled Amelia in closer to her as a means of reassurance.
"Travis is trying to make an artificial growth hormone so he can make himself taller." Amelia said with almost a tattle tale like tone to her voice. Watching with smug satisfaction as Travis opened his mouth to try and defend himself as Talia silenced him with a questioning stare.
"If you get any taller who's gonna sit on my lap when I read on the couch?" Talia asked and almost as if she coordinated the expression with Amelia, gave Travis the same pouting face.
"I don't wanna get too tall I just wanna grow maybe an inch or two." Travis said as he turned his attention back to the screen. To Amelia's credit, the loading was nearly three quarters finished now that the program was working on more optimized settings.
"You know if you want some growth hormone, I could just talk to a contact I have with the Animal's gang and see what we can find instead of having to brew it yourself?" Talia asked.
"That's gonna be a hard pass on my end my love, I don't exactly know what's going to be in that cocktail of chems or what sort of side effects it might do to me."
"It'll certainly put hair on your chest… and other places but you're right about that at least. Are you sure a homebrew is really any safer though?"
"I guess it's the devil you know verses the devil you don't at this point." Amelia said as she peeked over at the loading screen to see the synthesizer was almost finished. "I mean Talia is right though, neither of us are chemists by any measure and just because the chemicals are in the right order to give you a growth spurt doesn't mean we will know what else it will do."
