Reincarnated as the Only Human

Astra PoV

The smug grin on Miss Hertanc’s face as she watched me work was intoxicating, and so much of me wanted nothing more than to throw myself at her and shower us both in the wonders of baby making sex as we put this table to the test once again, but sadly she had made it clear we were done for the time being.

She had let me milk her cock twice while licking her ass, the Horsekin having me take care of her peculiar kink that I didn’t mind obliging, but when she was finished cumming buckets from my hands and tongue she got clothed and took a seat, though she still was high off of that experience if her expression was anything to go by.

So that was why I was clothed as well, standing over the same table that supported our rough sex for the last few days, but this time I was working on it instead of being fucked like a bitch on it, and that was where I was showing off a new line of jewelry that I wanted to sell here, in the premium store.

”Run it by me again.”

Even though she was still reeling off of the glee of having me shower her ass in kisses while jerking her off, Miss Hertanc was apparently always about business, and right now we were in the middle of something that might just earn her even more money.

”It’s a line of jewelry that isn’t as flashy as everyone’s used to right now. Most pieces are monometallic, right? They have a silver, gold, or platinum structure that houses gemstones of all kinds, but at the end of the day they are ONLY those single metals. Some people have made pieces with multiple metals, but as far as I am aware no one has made jewelry with different materials.

Not only metal, but something else alongside it. I did it here with the wood, right? It’s good wood, with a nice natural color and an even nicer polish and treatment. Gives the piece a natural, more muted yet rich vibe. It’s not just a piece of jewelry now, it’s a statement. A display of what makes our Queendom so special!

I could do this with other things too; chunks of obsidian, for example, look gorgeous all on their own when sanded down into a fine ’glass’, while marble is absolutely a flashy material attributed to status. I want to make a line of jewelry that uses a ’natural’ element alongside a refined one.”

The Horsekin snorted at that, and at first I thought she was making fun of me, so I looked over at her and raised a brow, only to see that she seemed to be agreeing with me as she nodded, though her smug smirk was still present.

”I didn’t need you to sell it that hard to me, but I see the vision. You’re right, most people stick to working with just a single metal. Let the gems do the talking, using the metal as a structure to house it... but if multiple things are used the entire piece becomes something special. And I can see that there, with those bracelets.”

I didn’t need to be completely business savvy and ’smart’ to hear the upcoming ”But, how hard do you think it is to sell that to the Nobility? What part of them being stuck in their old ways, stuck in their past achievements makes you think that this new idea would catch on?”, and when she asked it I just grinned at her.

On one hand, the obvious answer was to have Renna and Magistrate Fenkar wear a piece or two going forwards, as well as having them gift it to someone else that they were close to; the other answer was sitting right in front of me, her balls lighter than they had been an hour ago and her needs thoroughly met.

”Because, Miss Hertanc, if it becomes a whole event for these stuck up Nobles to attend and see others getting intrigued by these limited, beautiful works of art, they’ll jump at the idea of getting something that is limited and therefor having something that not everyone else can get.”

”Exclusivity and scarcity... I assume you’d mark these pieces to ensure they can be completely verified as apart of this line? Some kind of mark, anyways... a signature, quirk, whatever..?”

”I still need to think of something clever and something that cannot be easily replicated, but I can definitely redo these pieces to include that, so yes. Besides, that only requires a cheap commitment from you in terms of the materials; wood and marble are cheaper than pure gold and gemstones, after all.”

She chuckled and ran her eyes over me once before looking me in the eye as she replied ”But an entire event is not cheap, Astra. Never before have I had a business partner that wants me to spend so much money on an idea that isn’t verified to produce a lot of money with so much confidence in their voice...”

”Well...”

Stopping what I was doing, I turned to face her completely and smiled, running a hand over my curves as I asked ”Have you had a partner like me before~? Someone who could even approach my level of beauty~?”, earning another grin that sent shivers down my spine.

”A beauty with an ass that fat and a pussy that tight? No, I haven’t, but unless I sell your ass to my clientele I cannot make money off of your body, and the last thing I want to do is sell the Duchess’ Secretary as an incredible fuck...”

I just winked at her before returning to work, but that was when she got up and hugged me from behind, her hands landing on my hips before sliding around to my front as she pulled me into her chest, smothering me completely.

”But perhaps I could be convinced to take a bit of a loss... if only because your contract would be lengthened and required to include mandatory sex whenever I want it. Instead of just this month, you work for me for three months and I get all inclusive access to your body to do with as I please. That could be worth your weight in gold...”
