t looks like Kim may not be as big a fan of cock as Jen is.

Actually, that "not entirely honest" expression from Kim probably goes deeper than that (although after reading that last bit of the chapter, I do get the vibe that Kim is straight lesbian, rather than bi). She's likely not stoked about the prospect of sharing Jen's attention with the orgy at the other table, especially since we know how much she wanted to keep Jen to herself throughout this thing. But Kim's able to suck it up, put on a happy face, and spend time with her best friend/would-be lover, even if doing so has to involve other people.

Also, I'm now not entirely sure that Jen knows how Kim actually feels about her. The way Kim was talking during their flight, I kind of assumed that Jen knew but didn't want to pursue anything in order to get back into her family. But between Jen wanting to stay with her Kim because she's "been nothing but good friend" and her not realizing that Kim, in fact, didn't think playing with Richard's cock sounded awesome at all, I'm starting to think that she's completely unaware of Kim's feelings.

This could be because of how Jen grew up and the expectations her family had for her. Despite enjoying her "playtime" with Kim between boyfriends and the strong bond she feels toward her friend, Jen might not even be able to consider on her own the possibility of having a same-sex partner (and, as such, might not be able to consider the possibility of someone else seeing her as a potential same-sex partner). Or maybe she has in the past and was pressured into abandoning those kinds of thoughts. Granted I'm doing a lot of speculation when we only had a cursory explanation from Jen about her family some chapters back, but it's the only explanation I can think of for what I'm perceiving to be ignorance on Jen's part regarding Kim's otherwise obvious love for her.

Or Jen could just be young, dumb, and unable to process such strong, binding emotions in general. You know, either way.

It was nice to get some insight into Richard's thoughts. It's been awhile since we checked in on him directly. He continues to be extremely likeable, and it was great to see him start to come around on Ronnie. This experience has really turned things around for him, and I liked that he reflected on and decided that he was comfortable putting himself in the same position that she had put herself in for him. The trust, love, and adoration he clearly feels for Ronnie is really endearing.

And there's nothing wrong with him focusing on the short term for now, I think. Despite the two of them having a close relationship on a professional level and maybe somewhat on a personal level right now, Richard's hesitance to approach Ronnie has kept her at arm's length. Being flirty and being in a relationship are two very different things, and focusing just on taking her on a date rather than a long-term commitment out of the gate makes a lot of sense.

Although, it might be nice to have someone around who could take some of that huge workload off of his plate. But where could he possibly find a potential girlfriends out there who are also looking to co-run a sex toy empire?

Man, I hope Elise put that NWO Scnrio Prvntn microSD card back in the right spot. I would hate for my Skynet prediction from the last story to be proven right.

And I love how subtly you portray Elise's disgust over the promiscuity of those in the room, which is only overtaken by her loyalty to her precious Miss Vane. It was also fun to see her enjoying playing with the note recorder. It was cute, in a very "on-mission" sort of way.

I also love how Missy completely hijacked Richard and Ronnie's time together. They were all settled down, thinking about what comes next (or not thinking at all, in Ronnie's case), and our dear Melissa decided that her pets needed a little direction. And even though she's not being anywhere near as hands-on as Titty, she found a way to have her fun with their investors just as much as her giant pink friend. That fits her domme personality for sure.

Oh, and I don't think they actually need Aidra at this point. Instead, they could just start renting Titty out to customers; she could probably go longer than the sexbot anyway.

Thanks for the feedback!

Jen is in a bit of a weird spot right now.  She knows Kim LIKES her, at least at the level of a crush.  She know Kim cares for her, she does so every day in little ways.  But she also thinks Kim respects her desire to be reunited with her family. - which is true, to a degree, even if it pains Kim daily as the older woman holds onto her hope.  So Jen tends to think of Kim as her responsible gamer friend with occasional benefits.  And this experience is helping her break through her preconceptions, but she's not there yet.

Also, Jen is 4 inches tall, hopped up on sex pheromones from 2 other ginormous women who just lovingly used her as a sex toy, and there's a chance to get her hands on a cock more than twice as tall as she is.  She is showing incredible restraint in not greeding that loot drop, and instead hanging with her girlfriend.

As for Titty as a hostess, I have a head cannon that she's a Mistress for one of their pleasure dens, and often signs herself up as a giantess for orgy sessions with paying tinies, and maybe 1 other giant(ess) she trusts.  Now we just need the story to go far enough to confirm whether or not that's actually canon.

And yes, Aidra is necessary, because they cannot build a new Titty and copy over her personality.

Wait... I have an idea...

Absolutely worth the wait.

The general pacing here is really good, both within the chapter and the story as a whole, from the steady build to last chapters explosive release to this chapter's mellow intermission before ramping up again. I really liked the use of repetition in the opening section (specifically, detailing his busy lifestyle and describing Ronnie's body), really made that segment stand out to me. I also liked the focus on temperature regarding Jen's segments. It adds an extra layer to the scene's movements while simultaneously emphasizing how small she is (and descriptions of breathing on tinies always gets a thumbs up).

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

The story definitely needed a breather after the last chapter, and I think this was a good way to decompress while maintaining some of the tension and staging the sex-erm, next act.

The temperature fluctuations for Jen were added in part to add some detail and sense of scale, but my emphasis there was really to indicate a sort of Meta Hot and Cold game as pertains to a healthy relationship.  With Jen she was warm, and being removed from her, she was rapidly chilled.  Titty offered an on-again, off-again reprieve from the cold, but it wasn't a long term answer.  Going back to Jen placed her back into a warm, loving embrace.

Eh, maybe I overthought that section, lol.

Thanks again for sticking with me.  I have a few chapters of Stranded With the Enemy on deck, and I can't wait to get caught up!
