Don't let your fear control you

When they entered the room, a woman was sitting on the couch chatting happily with a naked man that was cuffed on the bed.

Layla went forward to kiss the woman on the lips, "Hey, Judge J."

Judge J smiled as she looked at Kai Xin who were staring horrifically at the man cuffed on the bed, "Is that the kid you talked about?"

"Yeah."

She bent down and kissed Layla's tummy before saying, "I will let you take over from here, but take care of our baby."

Layla nodded as she watched the woman she loved left the room.

After Judge J closed the door behind her, Layla turned to Kai Xin and brought her to the bed.

Kai Xin stammered as she backed herself against the wall, "L-Layla...W-What this..."

"Don't worry about this, Kai Xin. Ricky here is an escort that the Judge and I used when we were young."

Kai Xin nodded weakly, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Don't you want to take back the control that you lost?"

"What?"

Layla smiled as she sat next to Ricky on the bed,

"I won't force you to tell me if you don't want to, but if you want to continue working for me, if you want to continue working in this line of business, then you need to find a way to contain your nightmare. We don't just deal with women, we deal with men too. If you treated them like how you treated your colleagues, how would they feel?"

"I-I won't - "

With louder voice, Layla interrupted her, "Our clients, they were victimized by others and yet you looked at them as if they were the villain. How would that make them feel?"

Kai Xin gripped onto her pants as she tried to prevent the tears from falling, "I-I didn't mean to..."

"Kai Xin, I want you to know that I am always here if you need to talk to someone, but if you don't want to, I won't force you..."

Layla took her hand and cooed, "Just promise me that you would try to do something about it. Don't let your fear control you. Don't allow them to continue to shackle you down with invisible chains."

Kai Xin nodded. However, she glanced at Ricky before murmuring, "I don't want to do it to him..."

Ricky expertly released himself from his confinement. He put on his pants before passing his name card to her. With a smile that reflected his boyish charm, he said,

"I'm a willing man and you know what? Give me a call anytime you want. I'll give you a discount. I'm always happy to help out someone in need."

Kai Xin stared at the name card for a long time before accepting it. She wanted to be braver.

She wanted to stop being afraid.

She wanted to take back the control that they took from her.

It took her a long time before she found the courage to call Ricky for the first time.

At first, it was her and Ricky and with either Layla and Judge J hanging around while those two talked.

Slowly, once she learned how not to fear his presence and his touch, it was just her and Ricky.

After about a year, she and Ricky finally had sex for the first time with her on top of him.

Even when she graduated from Ricky and moved on to the others, she would still be on top.

No matter how much she grew to trust them, she was unable to bear the thought of being under any of them.

With them, she felt safest when she took charge and had total control over her own body.

....

Layla turned to DX who had a stupid besotted and contented look on him as he watched the interaction between Kai Xin and the children.

She had never seen such an expression on him in the 35 years since she met him, and it had amazed her that her best friend was capable of having such emotions.

DX felt her stare and without turning around, he taunted, "You know, you missed out the window of opportunity. My eyes are for my Kara only now."

"..." Layla pretended to gag before saying, "Please! Judge is better than you in every way! Also, guess what? You are the reason I turned gay."

DX glared at her.

Folding her arms, Layla glared back at him, "What? It's the truth."

DX ignored her and walked over to Kai Xin. He had to fly out later and he preferred to spend all his time with his lover instead of spending another second with the crazy woman next to him.
