CHAPTER 223: INQUISITION (1)

"Are you really a virgin?" Jack asked Evalyn.

She nodded. "Yes. Some of the older actresses hate me because I managed to get to where I am without spreading my legs, but it’s been worth it. If I had been born even ten years sooner, I probably would have had to make a choice between keeping my career or keeping my virginity."

So she was a bit like Miranda. Didn’t mind sucking cock to get what she wanted, but just hadn’t found a man she was willing to spread her legs for.

He added the parallel self versions of Miranda, Samantha, Katie, and Naoko to the simulation. He didn’t include Rina or Nora because they were not part of his harem.

Before pulling them into the simulation, he warned Samantha, Katie, and Naoko what he was going to do, so only Miranda was surprised to find herself in the simulation.

She looked at Evalyn, then back at Jack and asked, "Is she who I think she is?"

"Yep."

"Um, what’s going on? How did they get in here?" asked Evalyn.

All the girls were wearing shorts and a t-shirt or camisole.

He went on to briefly describe Genesis Heart, sapient templates and how she was a copy, winning the lottery, and finally described soul bonds.

Because he’d commanded her to hide nothing, he got to watch as the emotions played across her face. Because of the nature of sapient templates, there was no disbelief, but there was shock, more shock, amazement, and when he got to the part about soul bonds, disquiet.

When he finished, she said, "I really stepped in it, didn’t I?"

He nodded.

"What did she do?" asked Miranda.

"She’s taken an unhealthy interest in Jack’s private life," said Madison.

"Oh." Turning to Jack, Miranda asked, "Are you going to do to her what you did to Isabella?"

"I’m considering three options: obedient servant, outer circle girlfriend, and inner circle girlfriend."

"Don’t you mean outer-circle fuck toy?" asked Madison.

"No. The main difference between inner and outer is the degree of commitment. More importantly, I won’t accept her into my inner circle unless the rest of you also agree."

"You didn’t do that for Naoko," said Madison.

"I’m not saying I’ll always let you choose, just that I’m letting you choose this time. And regardless of your choice, there is still the possibility that she might earn a promotion in the future."

"You intend to soul bond me and are letting your girlfriends decide if they want me to be anything more to you than an obedient servant?"

"Yes. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. With the easy way, you accept the soul bond, keep your career, and maybe even gain some benefits. If you refuse, I won’t kill you, but when I’m done with you, you may wish you were dead."

"What would you do with me if I accept, but your girlfriends only approve of me as an obedient servant?"

"For the most part, I’ll probably ignore you. I have some products that are going to hit the market in a few months, and I’ll have you openly endorse them. Beyond that, I’ll leverage your insider knowledge of Briarwood if I have need to."

"What about sex?"

He’d fucked Miranda’s copy, believing that he’d just delete the copy when he was done, and only after, did she ask him to soul bond her.

But with Evalyn, he planned to soul bond her first. And only if she still asked, would he fuck her. He could command her to submit her body to him, but he wouldn’t feel right doing that. Something about it being the real her, instead of a copy, made a difference to him.

"I won’t force you, or command you to have sex with me. And if I manage to configure your soul bond the way I want it, you won’t suddenly offer yourself to me out of a desire to please me."

"Knowing what I know now, I would not try to dig into your private life and would never reveal anything about you to anyone. Is it still necessary to force me into a soul bond?"

"The only way for your physical self to learn any of this is for you to accept the soul bond. As I said before, your physical self is unaware of this conversation and is still intent on prying."

"Oh."

"Now, my girlfriends are going to ask you questions. You will answer them honestly, without deception, and without hiding anything."

He turned and looked at his girlfriends. "Let the inquisition begin!"

Evalyn winced as all the girls looked at her intensely.

"Have you ever had anal sex?" asked Naoko.

Madison and Samantha chuckled. Miranda just shook her head, and Katie blushed.

"No, I thought about it, but worried some eager man might ’accidentally’ slip and poke the wrong hole."

"You said you were waiting for the right man. What kind of man were you waiting for?"

"Ideally, someone who was wealthy enough that he could pay to make whatever movie I want to make and happily piss in the face of any Briarwood executive that complained."

Only Miranda was nonplussed by Evalyn’s answer. The rest all felt some degree of distaste.

"Is that it? You just want a fat wallet on two legs?" asked Madison.

"No, a fat cock would be nice too. I mean, really. What do you expect? A relationship is just two people fucking for mutual benefit."

He wasn’t surprised by her answer. Saddened, but not surprised.

"Do you not want more than that?" asked Samantha.

"She doesn’t believe more than that is possible," said Naoko. "And honestly, I kinda felt the same way until I met Jack."

"What? Did you suddenly feel loved when he plowed your pussy with his fat cock?" asked Evalyn.

"Were you not paying attention?" said Naoko. "We can feel his emotions. Just like he can feel ours. So we know he genuinely cares about it. I know he sees me as more than just a fuck toy because I know what he’s feeling when he looks at me."
