Thanks my friend, I'am glad you enjoyed it. I can honestly say that I have these fun little flashes of inspiration that just come to me. I have to thank Arc for coming up with the cruise ship trilogy. It is a pleasure working with him to bring Ellana's story to life.meditions142 wrote: Sun Apr 07, 2024 12:19 pm Another fabulous chapter. I don't know how you do it but you always find ways to add new little touches that make the stories so fun.
The scene with Bryony is really fun. Even though a uniformed woman basically made herself a target delivering the food Ellana would not have taken her out if she hadn't gone to investigate the noise Mimi was making. If only Bryony had not decided to investigate she would have gone about her day and not gotten a neck chop and lost her uniform.
And of course a sexy touch of Ellana leaving Mini and Bryony tied up together.
We also get the great scene with Achara including another great Ellana comment: "Shh! Don't fret pretty thing. You look like you use a break."
Also liked the take out of Georgia. Not only was it a smoke break takeout but we also get another scene where the victim should have just ignored the noise she heard. However, here she walked right into the trap. And great description of Georgia's point of view "A sharp pinch to the sides of her neck turned her whimper into a pained muffled squeak as she felt her eyes roll into the back of her head, slumping unconscious in her attackers arms. The final sensation Georgia was her dress being slipped from her shoulders."
Also really liked the neck pinch of Sofia. Very sexy. And we also get the Helga take down where it is back to the good only kiss knockout. As much as I love the pinch, fun to see that one still used.
The MiB report for the epilogue was also a really nice touch.
Great story as always.
Indeed, Ellana had awoken a little bit grumpy and starving to boot but she wasn't even thinking about acquiring a new face...yet. Then walks in Bryony who's only doing her job, delivering food, but becomes a prime example of that old phrase; Curiousity kills the cat. Instead, Ellana decided to make lemons into lemonade and salvage the situation. Which didn't end well for poor Bryony.
Thank you. Judging by Mimi's reaction she wasn't exactly opposed to the idea of having a naked bound woman next to her. And I always enjoy having two naked woman bound for tbe price of one.
One of the things I have enjoyed about fleshing out Ellana's character is her capacity for humour. While she is on a serious mission for the sake of her people, that doesn't mean she can't enjoy herself and take pride in her work. As was the case with Achara. The poor girl was far engrossed in her duties to notice Ellana sneaking up behind her to give her a quick little pinch.
Georgia is another textbook example of someone's curiosity overriding their common sense. Humans are hard wired to investigate anything strange or out of the ordinary, even if our better nature tells that's a really bad idea. Had Georgia ignored the sound, Ellana would have rounded the corner and put her down with her chop in any case. She was using an old trick Kremm had taught her and it worked right on the money. And it was sexy indeed for Ellana to undress the waitress as she's still standing.
Sofia is another example of a woman too engrossed in her distractions to see Ellana coming. Similar to the scene in Night Agent, she mistakes ( well rightly in this instance) Ellana as staff giving Ellana all the time to ambush the girl, with a pinch. And I couldn't resist having a kiss takedown on Helga who was completely taken by surprise, even surprised when she returned it. Ellana's pheromones working their magic. I always feel it good to mix up Ellana's takedowns so she adapts to whatever situation she finds herself in.
Thanks, Ellana's activities have now made her the target of an MiB task force, dedicated to tracking her down with L as the lead agent. Arc and I have been fleshing out the MiB over the last few days. We plan to give them more scenes in Ellana's stories as our two agents will end up resorting to desperate tactics in order to try and catch their quarry. This will not only develop their characters but also provide them with a voice as well.
