“No, about ten hours after a three-day VDR experience, you can go for seven days, but you won't be able to go again for twenty-four hours after that.”
“Great, then we don't have to wait until tonight. With the CIA threat hanging over our heads I want to treat Katie and Roni as quickly as possible.”
Chapter 27
Brett's POV
Everyone left the meeting in a sombre mood, I stayed behind thinking quietly. I needed to start thinking ahead, I could feel a storm coming and I trusted my instincts. With what the girls had said I was beginning to believe that Katie had a chance of a miracle. She was my number one priority, but she represented so many others that could have a similar miracle. I had to protect this opportunity. It wasn't about money. When I thought about what a difference this could make to Katie's life and then think about all the other Katies in the world, this was so important.
I needed to make a plan ready for immediate action. I had money, contacts and some great ideas from the meeting. Putting it all together had now become my highest priority. I called Roni. “Roni, I need you to clear my schedule and join me in my office, we've got some work to do.”

Andi's POV
Roni had told us that we had nothing else planned for the day so we headed back to the penthouse. We needed to go shopping, nothing fit us any more, but at the same time, if I bought anything it wouldn't fit me soon anyway. Vee's changes were coming close to complete and she wanted to wait a couple more days until she went crazy with a credit card. I still had a ways to go, but now that I felt more feminine and my body was following, my main focus was shifting to the next great experiment. Getting my storyline ready so that we can bring Katie with us and hope for a miracle.
Vee insisted that we stop on the way and grab some fatty snack foods. We got avocados, nuts, cheese and hummus as well as carrots and celery to make into sticks for dipping. We had already decided to have a vegetarian pizza for lunch, but Vee wanted me to have access to healthy fatty foods all the time to help with my hunger and hopefully my transformation.
When we got back, Katie was out. It was 11.30am so we had some snacks and went to the game room for seven days in Lagbit's world. We settled ourselves on the lounge chairs and I hit resume.
The first day I returned is always my favourite. I gloried in my female body and can't seem to keep my hands off of Vee. I think Vee is even worse, part of that is that she likes to initiate things. When I start she takes over and then wants to start things again before I can be tempted to initiate them before her. It is a beautiful circle. After that first day, we settled down a bit. We found out that we would be in elven territory the next day and should arrive in Amilyf four days later.
Once we had entered the forest that was the border between lands, I could see some of the tension leave the whole travelling group. I didn't count how many had travelled with us. As Myra had explained, we picked up more and more elves as we passed through the different lands. I would estimate five hundred or more in our party. I'm glad I was not responsible for feeding us all.
The one thing that had always puzzled me was how big a deal they were making of all this. I understood that bonding was infrequent, but there were a lot of elves with us and Myra told us that the capital Amilyf held around fifty thousand elves. Surely bonding must be happening often enough that it shouldn't be that big a deal. I know this was all in my mind and the only guidance it had, according to Trish was to make it a fairy tale princess type thing. Still, the amount of care and worry about transporting us back to the capital seemed excessive.
The reason became clear when we were about one day out from the capital and Myra approached us at the campfire.
“Tomorrow will be a slow day. The canvas will come off the wagon and you may find a few spectators as you travel through the villages surrounding Amilyf. I will be going on ahead, I need to talk to my parents before you arrive. I wrote them a letter that they should have received a week ago. I was hoping for a reply and have finally received it. They have asked me to come ahead of the rest of our party. I can't really say no, so I will set off early and meet you at the royal palace.”
“I thought we were going to your parent's house first.” I didn't want to upset her parents.
Myra smiled at me. “Yes, we are.”
“Your parents live at the royal palace?” Still, it didn't click for me. I was thinking that lots of people work at the palace and probably live there too.
“I probably should have told you before now, but I have found it amusing that you accept all the respect and veneration with grace and humility. And a degree of polite confusion.”
“Told me what?” I asked.
“The Royal couple are my parents. The colour of my eyes indicated that I was next in line, however, when my bonded died without us conceiving, it fell to my parents to produce another heir. I joined Lagbit's church to pray for their success. Thus far they have only had sons.”
“And boys cannot be heirs?” Vee asked.
“Of course not. They cannot have children. When people see your eyes, Andi, they see Royalty, when they realise you are bonded, they feel joy.”
“Oh my goodness. You're a princess, Andi.”
“That can't be right. Surely you have to be born a princess. I wasn't even born a girl.”
“The transformation was performed in Lagbit's church, by his will. You are identical to me. Any children you have will be like they were my children. As I am adopting you, they will be my grandchildren. If any are born with Royal eyes then they would be next in line. Only if the Royal couple agrees, of course. You are the answer to my prayers.”
The attention that I was getting made more sense after that. When we travelled through the villages it was like a parade. People lined up to wave and smile. It is just as well that elves have more endurance, I felt like I was waving and smiling for hours.
I started getting a bit worried as we approached the palace. “Vee, I've just realized, I don't know how to act in front of Royalty. I have never curtseyed before in my life.”
“Don't panic, Andi, just be yourself. Do what you think is appropriate. We are in your mind, whatever you do will be the right thing to do. Come on, deep breaths.”
I kept reminding myself that I was in VDR and tomorrow night I would go back to reality. Still, I was very nervous as I got down from the wagon in front of this huge white stone building where Myra was standing next to a couple of elaborately dressed women. When we had passed through a gate, probably a kilometre back, the cheering crowds had been left behind. We were both dressed as priestesses of Lagbit and had decided to wear the corsets, but even so, we looked woefully underdressed compared with the Royal couple.
Myra introduced us to them again as the Royal couple rather than names, and both Vee and I curtseyed. I didn't fall flat on my face, so I considered that a win. They were smiling with real warmth in their eyes and I just knew, everything was going to be alright. Once we were ushered inside everyone was able to relax. Myra introduced us again giving their names Mary and Kayla. Mary had the Royal eyes and in public needed to be referred to as Queen, Kayla was consort. Inside the palace, excluding the Royal court and throne room, they preferred their names. Outside when we had curtseyed, they had politely inclined their heads, now they were being more familiar, they gave us hugs and welcomed us to the family.
The adoption ceremony would be a private affair just between us in three days time and then the celebration of the bonding would take place that evening. The celebration would take place in the palace which would be opened up to the public for that day. Since I had originally been male, they did not think my male name was suitable and wanted to rename me during the adoption ceremony. I needed a royal name and they were giving me the option of Sarai, Tia or Tiana. I discussed it with Vee and we decided on Tia. The full name was Tia Dione.
I would be treated as Myra's daughter, and any children that we had that had the Royal eyes would become the heirs to the thr
one. They loved the idea of transforming humans into elves but would want a screening procedure. They wanted a Lagbit priestess to perform a truth spell to check if it was what they truly wanted and then they would have to give a carefully worded oath to obey the Royal family and not bring dishonour on the elven people.
Of course, we couldn't disagree, I asked if I could invite two humans who we had communicated with, who wished to be transformed, to be there for the bonding ceremony. Their condition was that they were transformed before the ceremony, as only elves would be allowed to be present. Even better, was what I was thinking.
We were shown to our room that was palatial, with an adjoining bathroom and also four rooms for maids and another room just for dresses. I suggested to Vee that if we only have two maids, we could leave the other two rooms vacant and hopefully that was where anyone who visited would appear. I spoke to Myra about it, but she insisted that we have the full complement of maids and would arrange for the adjoining suite to be kept vacant for any human visitors. She took us around the next door suite and it also had a main bedroom with four smaller rooms for maids. She would be in the suite on the other side but would be spending much of her time at the Lagbit church. At least until we had provided her with grandchildren she said with a wink.
The maids stripped us and then had us in a bath, scrubbed and cleaned. It was a novel experience to have someone else's hands touching me in intimate places just to make sure I was properly clean. I was looking at Vee while it was happening and getting quite turned on. It did make me a little concerned. I loved the luxury of having maids. Having four of them seemed a bit much and if they were staying in the same suite, how was I to get any privacy.
They dressed us in these gorgeous ball gowns and led us down to dinner. The table was huge, but we were all seated at one end and it was just the five of us eating. Myra, Mary, Kayla, Vee and me. We were surrounded by servers. There were five courses but each was relatively small in size. I was full at the end and had enjoyed each mouthful. Different drinks accompanied each dish and were removed after that course was finished. I don't think any were alcoholic.
The conversation was all in elvish and by now we were fluent and had no trouble conversing. Much of what they talked about had no relevance to what we knew. After the bonding ceremony, we were invited to have tutors educate us in various subjects. The downside to being a princess was that we needed an education.
We retired when we felt it was polite to do so and were attacked again by our maids. They stripped us and dressed us in these naughty nighties. I was expecting fairly plain sleepwear, but these were downright sexy. The material was practically see-through, it lifted and presented my breasts, just hiding the nipples. It clung to my body with a silky texture and stopped just after covering my privates. There were no panties, I was turned on thinking of what I was wearing and then I saw Vee and my pussy drenched and my nipples tightened. We met at the huge bed and fell into each other's arms, lips locked. I forgot all about the maids who must have made themselves scarce.
The next morning we were woken by the maids who took us into the shower and washed us again. After their ministrations, I felt like some alone time with Vee. I have never had a female body before, let alone have two maids dedicated to washing me thoroughly, but what they were doing seemed a bit naughty. They knew we were bonded so surely they were not coming on to me and Vee. Surely.
They helped us get dressed into these PJ type of loose clothing and then led us to a secluded garden within the palace where Myra and Ash were waiting for us. We went through our Taigoa practice. First, the form and then the attack/ defend and attack back sequences. When we had finished Ash gave us a short bow and left.
“Mom, I wanted to ask you something about our maids.”
She smiled and led us to a bench to the side of the garden. I think she already knew what we were interested in. “What would you like to know?”
“I've never had a maid before, so I don't know what is normal behaviour and I am not complaining.”
“But?” she asked.
“They seem a bit err....touchy?”
“Well, maids are usually young elves that are not ready to venture into the world looking for their bondmates. Equivalent to human teenagers, I suppose. Full of hormones, wanting to experience life, but they cannot be intimate with anyone who is not bonded unless they want to move away from that person. They are presented with two beautiful bonded ladies who are safe to have fun with. In short, they would love to join in on your lovemaking but would have to avoid each other. Whether you permit that or not is up to you. Generally, when you are bonded to someone, jealously goes out the window since you know, on a deep level that your partner loves you absolutely. Which means fun with someone else is just that. I would suggest you experiment and see if you like a few extra hands and tongues.”
“Mother!” I said shocked.
“Why not?” she asked. “But I would only do it when you are together. They can add an extra dimension to your lovemaking. If it is without your bondmate you will find the pleasure lacking a vital ingredient. You may feel a little selfish, but they would not offer if they did not want to be involved.”
With that, she got up, gave me a kiss on my cheek and left. I looked at Vee with a question in my eyes.
Vee shrugged, “When in Rome? She is right though. I don't have any doubts about you. I know you are mine,” Vee said firmly. “I say we give it a go. Concentrate on each other and let them touch us if they want to.” She looked up. “Uh Oh. Our maids are just around that corner and I suspect they can hear every word.”
I turned to look and could see a face peeking around the doorway with a smile on her face. “Damned elvish hearing,” I said and then saw the girl's smile fade to a worried frown. I smiled at her to reassure her and the smile returned to her face. I waved at her and she came forward.
“Would you like to wash up again before breakfast, princess?”
Vee laughed and I knew what she was thinking, we were about to get very, very clean and a bit dirty at the same time. “How does breakfast work? Do we gather at a particular time?” I asked.
“No, when you are ready for it, we will bring it to your room. Lunch and dinner are with the Royal family unless there is a special event and then it is in the formal dining room with the Royal court. If you would like to follow me.”
We followed her back to our suite where the other maids were waiting. They stripped us again and led us to the shower again. This time when they started caressing us, pretending to be washing us, Vee moved towards me and started kissing me. They hesitated briefly then started stroking us, trying to heighten our passion. We had a wonderful time. It was also like a barrier had been broken. I was less tense when they dressed or undressed me from then on. I wasn't worried about showing affection towards Vee when they were close. Vee was still my main focus and I could tell that I was hers, but a few extra hands and tongues certainly made life interesting.
After they brought breakfast and it was consumed, they took us on a tour of the palace. They ate breakfast with us, which I liked. Lunch and Dinner were the same as the previous night. Formal dress that was decided for us and multi-course small meals. After dinner, we had another bath with a sensual massage that lead to other things. That night was the last for this visit and we were looking forward to telling Katie and Roni that they would be accompanying us for our next visit. We drifted off to sleep satisfied and cuddling each other.
Chapter 28
I took off my headset and smiled at my gorgeous wife. “I'm hungry again. Shall we order that pizza?”
We ordered two in case Katie came back and wanted some or I ate more than expected. I then phoned Roni.
“Hi Andi, how can I help you?”
“Hi, Roni. We have just spent a week in Lagbit's world and I thought I would update you.”
“That's great, but maybe not over the phone.”
My enthusiasm dipped a bit. She was right though, I needed to be careful e
xactly what I said. “I tell you what, why don't you come over for dinner tomorrow, say one pm?”
“OK.” She said slowly obviously thinking. “How long should I schedule lunch for?”
“I want to do a proper dinner, so a couple of hours should do it.”
“That sounds great, I shall look forward to it.”
The pizza arrived and was great. I ate almost a whole pizza myself. Vee managed half one and the rest we left in the fridge.
When I went to the toilet, I had a little feel of the area and felt the beginnings of dips and ridges. It still looked smooth, but just under the surface, it was changing. Then I went to pull up my androgynous clothes and for some reason, got a little pissed off with my clothing.
“Vee,” I called from the bathroom.
She poked her head in. “What?”
“I know I am still changing, but I don't think I can take it any more. I need a clothing makeover.”
