Eugenia's Embrace

"And your boobs. They're beauts. Just think how much more they'll be noticed if you get a thin waistline. Yes. I have many plans for you, my dear."

Eugenia stepped back, stumbling over a chair. "Didn't you hear me?" she shouted. "I'm leavin' this horrid place." She reached down to pick her dress up but was stopped when Madam Valerie's foot dropped heavily on it.

"You're not going anywhere," Madam Valerie hissed.

"Why? What kind of woman are you? You can't hold me here against my will."

"Sure I can. And in time you'll be glad I did," Madam Valerie said, picking up the green satin dress, holding it before Eugenia's eyes. "See this dress?" she said, running a hand over it. "You could wear dresses made of the finest silks and satins if you stay here with me. And you have no family waiting. Why not be one of my girls?"

"One of… your girls?" Eugenia gasped.

Madam Valerie laughed raucously. "Yes. One of my girls. Did you really think these girls were my daughters? You are a naive one. Even that quality will attract the men to my house. Even more so than to any of my other girls."

"What kind of place are you running here?" Eugenia fumed, her heart throbbing against her chest.

"I run the finest parlor in this town. I'm known for my taste in the girls I house here. All men come here. Even some of the most high-class gents."

"You're disgusting," Eugenia said, feeling a sickness at the pit of her stomach.

"You'd even enjoy some of my gentlemen friends," Madam Valerie continued. "Now take that gent who runs the Cripple Creek Train Depot. He's willing to pay the highest price for what he asks of a woman. We always look forward to him calling on us."

"All I want is to get out of here," Eugenia said, sobbing once again, tasting the saltiness of her tears as they rolled down into her mouth.

"I deem that impossible," Madam Valerie said, stepping aside, opening the door once again.

Eugenia's eyes widened as she saw a short Japanese man standing in the hallway, his eyes settling on her as he entered the room.

"I think she can stand a few ounces of morphine in her arm," Madam Valerie said, stepping aside so the small man could approach Eugenia.

Eugenia's eyes widened when she saw what he had in his hand, pushing it toward her. It was a hypodermic syringe. Filled with a liquid. Now she knew what had happened earlier. She had been drugged. Possibly in her coffee. But now? To be given an injection to drug her? She felt her knees grow weak as Madam Valerie stepped to her side and held her tightly, making it impossible for Eugenia to fight against the sharp needle as it entered, making prickling sensations begin to surge up her arm and then on upward to her brain. She felt the lethargy begin to sweep over her once again. But this time not entirely. She felt as though she could laugh instead of cry. Even the colors of the room were more brilliant to her. She could still feel Madam Valerie's hands holding her. She turned her head and stared into Madam Valerie's eyes, smiling, wanting even to hug her.

Madam Valerie sensed the completeness of the drug's effect and released Eugenia. "There. See?" she murmured, running her fingers through Eugenia's hair. "It's not so bad after all, is it, honey?"

Eugenia swayed against Madam Valerie, suddenly aware of the sweet smell of this lady next to her. It was even more of a refreshing aroma than she had smelled while taking a bath. She placed her hand on Madam Valerie's arm and squeezed it. "I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble," she said, slurring her speech. "You're really very nice. I'm really sorry."

Madam Valerie's eyes went to the little gentleman still standing beside her. "You can go now," she said. "You've delivered the best stuff again this time. I'll remember with the best of what I have. Whenever you desire. Just come to me. I'll place you in the hands of whatever woman you choose."

A smile creased this short man's face, making his eyes seem less slanted. He nodded, bowed deeply, then disappeared from sight.

Eugenia scooted her feet along the softness of the carpet, feeling as though she was floating on a cloud. Then she fell into a heap across the bed. She didn't see Madam Valerie close the door. She didn't even see when Madam Valerie began to disrobe beside her. All Eugenia was aware of was the complete peacefulness of her mind, not caring for anything but the sensuousness of these feelings. When she felt a body slide beside her own she turned and welcomed it.

"I knew the minute I saw you that I had to have you," Madam Valerie whispered. Her fingers traced a path along Eugenia's stomach, downward, to rest between her thighs. "Touch my tits with your hands," Madam Valerie instructed, guiding Eugenia's fingers.

Still lost in the drugged stupor, Eugenia found the drooping hand-ful of skin and clung to it, squeezing until Madam Valerie began to swoon noisily.

"Oh, yes," Madam Valerie mumbled, then found Eugenia's mouth with her lips and crushed her red painted mouth over Eugenia's, kissing, sucking, plunging her tongue into Eugenia's mouth. But all was brought to an abrupt halt when the bedroom door burst open wildly. Through Eugenia's haze, she could see another female standing inside the room with her hands on hips. She felt the weight of Madam Valerie leave the bed beside her and watched as she went to the waiting female.

"What the hell do you think you're doing bursting in here like this?" Madam Valerie snarled, slapping the intruder's face.

"You shouldn't be doing that with her," the girl cried, rubbing her face. "You said I was the only one you did that with."

"After tonight, you won't even be a part of my house," Madam Valerie stormed, starting to dress. "You get your things and get out of here. Do you hear?"

"You'll be sorry," the girl yelled loudly. "I'll get you for this. Just you wait and see."

"Get out. Now!" Madam Valerie said more firmly, buttoning the last button on her red velvet dress. She turned and looked toward Eugenia who was still lying prone, so drugged she didn't care if she was nude and had just been partially seduced by a woman.

"I'll get to you later," Madam Valerie hissed, then left the room, slamming the door behind her.
