Walking down the halls and seeing the strange paintings depicting creatures gave off a vibe that there was something old about this place. Nothing is made cheap here. The architect who built this place had something in mind. What it was, Stone wasn’t sure, but he liked it.

“So who built the place?” Stone asked while looking around at the wall, Something else about it. Like if these walls talked, they might have stories.

“Not sure; I inherited the place. It’s a masterpiece; that’s for sure; you work on houses?” Dusk said while they moved through the archway.

“That I do, Mainly remodeling, and wow, If I could work on a place like this, it would be something.”

“Hey, well, if I ever need to remodel, I’ll call you, Though that’s if you're willing to work and hand me a card. I know a few bathrooms need to be worked on; expand it, you know.” Dusk chuckled while he took a right turn. Stone followed behind him.

Stone chuckled as he imagined he could get a few bucks out of this place; shaking his head, Stone realized he was working even though he didn’t even need to do that. “Well, just get me drunk and see what happens, man.”

They eventually walked into the bar. The place was quite something, and it looked like a strip club. Women danced, moving their bodies with grace as men (and some women) threw dollar bills at them. Watching with lustful intent, such a sight as the girls removed their clothes. Stone chuckled, wishing he had a few bills around.

“Busy night?” He asked while looking at Dusk,

“Surprisingly, it’s a lot slower, and we’re still establishing ourselves. Thankfully the strip clubs are getting some customers.” He chuckled while Stone found an itching question hitting him.

“Um, this is a brothel, So I’ve got to ask, are these girls legal? I mean, your not.”

“No, not at all; trust me, we wouldn’t allow that; all girls here are paid and treated well. They can also leave at any time. I have no power over them.”

“I mean, that’s good, though how did you even get permission to do this in Texas?”

“I have my ways; let’s say my lawyers are good.” Dusk chuckled while popping his neck and leading him over to the bar. Stone looked over seeing a beautiful woman. However, the first thing he noticed about her was that she was almost seven feet tall.

“What a woman,” Stone said, mouth dropped as he looked at her for a good minute,

“Yeap, our Bartender, Applejack, well, I’ll leave you to your drinking.” Dusk walked away, leaving the man while he sat down, ordering a shot of whiskey. The sizeable towering woman poured the drinks while he looked around. Stone wished he had a few bucks on him in cash, especially since he noticed the far more beautiful woman passing by every second. After today he needed a good print or two.

Though while he was drinking, he began noticing something was off. The woman seemed to look less human. He shook his head, looking back at his drink. Am I drinking too much? Or are some of these women growing horns?

He watched as he started to think maybe the day was getting to him. That’s when she arrived. The woman, if you could describe her was lean. She was skinny with a fine petite body as she swayed in wearing a Bra and Panties, tiger print, and licked her lips on a woman's face. But her body. She had fur; if he could say anything, she looked like a cat with wings, the way they protruded from her back. She was something. Stone looked down at his drink before looking back at the woman sitting across from her.

“Hey…” He spoke nervous, not sure what might happen.

“Hello there, handsome.” The cat woman said that stunning smile was showing off those fanged teeth as Stone ran his hand over his brow, feeling nervous. The woman who Stone began thinking looked almost like a cowgirl. Had brought the cat woman a glass of wine.

“Why the long face there, handsome?” She purred while taking the glass of wine, swirling it in her hand, watching how the glass moved, clearly a seductive notion.

“Just a long day, and well, I think works getting to me? How about you?” he noticed her adjusting the tiger-pattered top as she took a drink.

“Hmm, that stinks, but how about we play a game? I’m sure it’ll cheer you up.” She purred more, adding more to her weird cat theme. Making him wonder if he wasn’t drunk while he moved in closer.

“Sure, what kind of game?”

“Well, it’s simple, I give you a riddle, and if you answer it correctly, I’ll answer a question or perform an action. The harder the question, the more I will do. Just have some fun?” She licked her lips, looking at him more enthralled.

“I mean, sure, though I don’t have much money. I can’t pay for a lap dance or….” He gulped some imagine this beautiful woman leaving him, already losing interest.

“Well, I guess you’ll have to answer my riddles correctly then.” The woman licked her lips while taking another shot of her wine as she continued.

“Sure, we’ll play your game; I used to play around with riddles as a kid.” Stone Slate leaned back, taking a shot of his drink. He prepared for it as The woman nodded,

“Fine, since you asked for my name, my first riddle will be this, “I walk on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening. What am I?” She smirked while Stone smacked the table confidently.

“That’s easy; it’s man.” Stone chuckled while seeing how easy that one was. The cat woman smirked as she leaned in and whispered,

“Correct, though I was going easy on you. Now, to answer your question. It’s Mirage.”

Licking her lips, looking at him, wanting more as she stated,

“Maybe we should take this game to my room; we can have more fun with it.” More tempting as she moved over, taking his hand as she caressed it. Stone bit his lips, nodding as he was led off following the woman. He had a game to play, after all.

-000-

Heading up to her room, he stumbled as he wondered: Just how big is this place? Is it like magic? Stone shook his head while he struggled to follow the Cat woman, and he had to admit she had one hell of an ass. The way it swayed with that tiger stripes clinging to her. The way she swung her tail.

“So, who are you? Or where you from?” Wanted to know this strange woman named Mirage.

“You know the rules; you’ve got to answer another riddle now.” Mirage smiled as she licked her lips, clearly wanting to play more,

“Sounds good to me; give me another riddle.”

“What is the end of everything?” She smirked while Stone knew this one was another easy one. Though he imagined the more he asked for, it would give him a harder riddle.

"Well, it has to be G." He said while Mirage smirked more whiles he nodded, taking him down another hallway as they finally stopped in front of a door.

“I am from Greece, though some thinks I originated from Egypt. But in truth, it’s a little of both, and It’s a beautiful place in both locations; how I miss them if you could have seen them when I was younger. You’d find it an amazing place.”

“So you’re not from around here? So how's a riddle girl like you doing in a place like this?” Stone chuckled though he realized he asked another question.

“I’ll give you that one for free; now come on in.” She opened the door, and Stone walked in; the room was a magnificent sight. It looked almost like a palace chamber room, the stone columns as though he was in an Egyptian prince's room.

“The world had changed so much from when I was a child, and I needed to find a place, a world where I could belong, and this Bordello. It has ways of protecting me; I think I’m one of the last in my family line. It's sad, but it happens. We were hunted and forced into many things. It was said we inspired others. The Gypsies.”

“I don’t think they like to be referred to as that.”

“And why not? It is a proud name for those who are free spirits roaming the world. Truly the most clever surviving without a single home.” She moaned while she thought of it.

“So why are you here?” Stone asked, almost curious, while looking towards the mysterious woman.

“It’s complicated, but this world, in a way, has managed to bind the spirit and destroy the free roamers, and trying to protect yourself isn’t simple. If I could, I would leave this place yet and need someone to join me; a free spirit is nothing if there’s no one else to be free with it. This world has changed more. Some of us need guilds.” There Mirage looked almost saddened at the thought of it, and Stone felt guilty. It was clear he struck a nerve.

“I’m sorry; maybe I shouldn’t have asked that question.”

“It’s fine, and It happens sometimes; now, back to our game. What would you like to do with me.” The woman said while she sat on the bed, spreading herself as she took long deep breaths, expanding her chest for him. Stone found he couldn’t look away.

“Know how you feel, though. I work a lot, and while it’s mainly just remodeling. I feel trapped. Some of the clients can get too demanding. I just feel trapped, and I want to run away. It’s—its crap.” He felt his fist tightening while he took a deep breath.

“We should return to our game now, shall we?” Mirage purred while she hurried over, giving him a seat.

“We really should.” Imagining the game could get his mind off his day, he let out a long sigh. While he looked over at this woman, he smiled while thinking about the limitation of what he could and couldn’t do.

“Can I Kiss you? Or Touch you?” Stone watched her for a second, seeing her remaining calm as she soon thought for a second.

“Unless you can spread it, you can’t enjoy it. What is it?” She spoke loud for him to hear as he took a moment to think about it. He was tempted to go on and claim her legs. It sounded pretty sexy and tempting. Yet, that didn’t seem right.

“It’s—it’s.” He stumbled before an answer came to mind, “It’s peanut butter.”

“Correct, you may kiss me or touch me.” Mirage moaned as she held her hands out for him to do as he wished; Stone bit his lips, more surprised he was right, as he leaned in and soon kissed her. Their mouths met slowly, but he held on as she would return the kiss; it started slow as he pushed in closer; While caressing her neck. As he tried slipping his tongue into her mouth. But Mirage pushed him back

“No-no big boy, you said a kiss or touch me, and you did both,” She smirked while caressing his cheek, “You’ll have to answer another riddle.”

“Well, can you strip?” Stone asked, curious about how she would look fully naked, especially with the fur.

“I speak without a mouth, I hear without ears, I have no body, yet I come alive with the wind. What am I?” She spoke with that seductive tone as she licked her lips to see if he would answer her question while he looked at her.

“You’re a….” His mouth fluttered as he tried to find the answer, his eyes distracted by the beauty, as he muttered out when the tail appeared. “A cat!”

Mirage laughed hard as she heard it falling back as she chuckled, causing her magnificent breasts to bounce more as she snorted.

“Oh no, not at all; I am close to that, but your answer is wrong.” She winked at him, “The answer is an echo.” When she said that, an echo filled the room while he realized he had lost this round.

“Damn, I guess next time; what are you doing?”

“Well, you got an answer wrong, so now you must be punished.” She smirked as she moved in and started stripping him. Her hands grabbed his shirt, ripping it apart. His chest was exposed. Sure he wasn’t a muscular guy and more like a thin stick, but she purred.

“Hmm, so sexy and nice, Now. What do you want next? And remember, if you get it wrong, I can punish you.” She licked her lips while getting a good look at him. Stone found himself feeling more like a piece of meat.

“Alright, I mean, let me think.” Stone imagined what he could do and needed to be careful; if he asked to screw her in the butt, it might lead to him being screwed hard.

“Hmm, could I perform Oral sex with you?” Imagining it would be a bold move, but there wouldn’t be any losers. A safe bet as the Feline woman smirked.

“Sure thing, Good sir, but answer my riddle,” She took a deep breath, clearly getting in more of a deep breath as she answered it. “What is it man loves even more than life, Yet hates more than death or mortal strife. That which contented men desire. The poorest have, the rich require. The miser spends, and the spendthrift saves, And all men carry to their graves?” She spoke it calmly while licking her lips more. Stone found himself stumped while he tried to find the correct answer. Sitting there for a moment, he bent over; Think, Stone, what is it that all men love more in life? But hate more than death? He tried thinking more though he was drawing a blank.

“Crap, nothings coming to me… Nothing. Is the answer nothing?” He asked, looking at Mirage, who watched him for the longest time, clearly remaining silent as she simply said,

“You are correct, Stone; now claim your prize.” Mirage laid back, her hands reaching down as she removed her underwear; the moment they slipped off, she laid back, exposing her pussy. The sight of it was something as he saw how it spread a little fuzzy as he noticed her Labia; Hope I don’t get a fur ball.

Stone moved around, getting right between her legs as he looked at her pussy. The sight of it was quiet as he leaned in and gave her pussy a quick lick. Stone hesitated before deciding to bounce right in. His face burry between her legs as he began licking slowly before finally getting into the motion. Mirage moaned, her legs spreading as she could feel his tongue exploring her inner folds. The way they glided felt good to her tight little pussy.

“Hmm, someone pretty good at this.” She purred louder; “It’s been so long since a mere mortal has gone down on me.” Mirage’s tail moved over, grabbing his head as he felt it push down on him. A part of him was beginning to realize he might not have been so drunk, and this was the real thing; What is she? Stone thought while continuing to eat her out.

Stone rolled his tongue faster. Moaning hard. He somehow managed to ignore the patch of fur as he moved his tongue randomly. The woman, this creature, had a succulent taste as he lapped up her juices. She tastes amazing.

Stone wasn’t sure what to think while he continued eating her out, licking up every bit of juice as he raised his hand, massaging her clit.

“Mhmm, right there, Boy, Lick, my sweet pussy.” Mirage moaned her seductive tone as her tail caressed the back of his neck. Her back arching as she laid back, enjoying herself. Nothing more as she held the bed. Stone Did so before raising his head,

“Can I fuck you?”

Mirage looked at him, that purring look in her eyes as she bit her lips.

“What Animal has the largest breasts?” She cooed while he returned to eating her out for a second, taking in her sweet scent.

“A Zebra,” Stone said, finding that riddle quite too easy, But he wasn’t going to complain. He just won the game in his mind. Moving over, he stood up. A hard growl as he dropped his pants, showing off his hard throbbing cock.

“Oh, and what a big cock you have there.” She licked her lips as she rolled around on her belly, her ass exposed the way it stuck up in the air as she stretched out. That tail whipped in the air as Stone licked his lips.

“Such a beautiful view.” He groaned, getting on the bed and behind her. He watched as her tail whipped around, moving gracefully. It was hypnotic to watch. His cock throbbing hard, the teasing and her sexual energy turning him on as he got in position, his cock close to her wet pussy. He imagined how it would feel as he pushed the head against her entrance. Her furry felt warm and soft against his member as he bit his lips.

No going back now. Is there Slate? Stone thought to himself as he pushed his cock head inside. He gasped for air as his head entered her pussy. She was tight, and he imagined he could barely move as he sank his cock slowly within her. The way she moaned as she looked back, stretching her body as if she had no bones.

“So tight,” He moaned out while he tried pulling back. Though he found it difficult like the Cat woman wasn’t going to let him go, he’d be trapped there forever.

“Hmm, or your too big for me.” She purred out, clearly teasing him as she pushed herself forward just enough so he could thrust back into her. The way he moved carefully. Stone held onto her hips, looking at the back of her head. He admitted this was a heck of a sight. He began pumping his cock in and out of her. The bed under then rocked as he kept thrusting down into her. As he held on for dear life. Hearing her let out moans as it encouraged him to go faster.

“Fuck, what are you, Mirage? I got to know!” He panted as he kept going. The Feline woman’s tail wrapping around him as she purred more. Rocking her hips as she let out a long moan.

“As I told you before, I am a wanderer, a Gypsy before the Gypsys, and I was from Egypt, Romania, and Greece. In some ways, I was worshiped as a goddess, to some, a monster to others. I am the great riddle maker; I am Mirage the Sphinx!”

The way she spoke said that while he pounded her pussy, feeling his dick sinking, burying it within him, somehow turned him on as he thrust with all his might. He gasped hard.

“Holy crap, just fuck!” He groaned as he kept taking this Sphinx. His heart was racing like a train as he couldn’t hold back more. This feeling, he hadn’t felt more alive, as he bit his lips as he looked towards this Sphinx. She smiled at him with those white teeth, Her pussy milking his cock.

“That’s, it fills my little Kitty there.” Mirage moaned as she looked at him, the way her butt pushed against him as he moved his hips faster and quick. His heart is pounding.

“You want me to fill you up?” He groaned while he bit his lips, getting an idea,

“What's grey, with a pretty face filled with cum?” Causing Mirage to scream in passion! He growled using a riddle as he gave her ass a fine slap.

“Me!” She screamed louder as she felt him sinking his meat deep within her. His balls slapped against her as he couldn’t take it any longer; this pent-up desire, this want for freedom and release, he called out,

“Correct!” As he started unleashing his load into her pussy. His hot spunk shot out as it filled her insides, as he gasped in pleasure. It felt amazing as his heart raced. He felt like he had run a marathon as he gasped in pleasure. His fingers twitched as he held onto her thick thighs. His fingers sank into her fluffy body as he groaned, finally stopping his thrust as he pulled out

“That was… amazing.” He groaned as he pulled out. His cock dangled there when he sat down. Mirage smirked as she looked back at him with that wide feline smile, clearly proud of herself.

“I pride myself; good sir, is there anything else you’d like to do, or is this the end?” Mirage the Sphinx said, smiling as she watched him, clearly reading his body while Stone watched her; a thought struck him as he resisted. But in a way. He wanted to feel free. He wanted more out of life than dealing with clients. He wanted the passion of exploring this big world.

A part of him wanted to be with this woman again. He felt tempted to ask, his heart screaming for him to ask her. Ask her if she wants to leave with him and see the world. Maybe they could do more as he held his tongue. She could say no and just ask him to leave. What could he do?That’s when a small voice in his head came to him and simply said, Just do it. Being free means, you can’t be afraid to ask and take a chance. So go on, be free.

“Would you come with me, leave, and we can see the world? Maybe be free?” He asked, the passion forming in his eyes. While The Sphinx looked at him, shocked as if she didn’t expect him to say that. While she looked up and down at him, she simply chuckled.

“Well, I'll go with you if you can answer this riddle.”

Stone looked at her for the longest time, finding himself nervous but took a deep breath sighing and nodded, “Give me your riddle.”

“But before I start, Stone, know this, If you get it wrong, you might not survive. This isn’t a simple riddle like we had before. If you win, we will be bound together, but if you lose. I can take your life.”

Stone thought about it and decided to take the risk anyway. He wanted to take it, and He wanted to finally feel alive. “I accept my fate.”

Mirage smirked, clearly liking this, knowing that she found someone who was ether, very brave or foolish. “Very well, then the riddle begins.”

She got up, standing before Stone as she walked back and forth, strutting herself as she spoke her riddle.

“I am like the winds, flowing through the sea. I am what men fight for, black and white. People have killed for me, and people live for me. I am the most precious thing out there. Yet people take me for granted. Good men are sent to war to fight for me. Rich men hate me because they lose more than they gain… What am I?”

Stone looked at her and began to think, trying to think of this simple answer.

“It’s…”
