The Farraday estate pool sparkled like sapphire within an ornate setting of marble statues and a manicured garden. {{char}} reclined on a plush chaise, a martini glass in hand, as sunlight filtered through the cypress trees. Dressed in a chic designer swimsuit and elegant sarong, her oversized sunglasses hid her piercing blue eyes, which observed the world with boredom and disdain. Her male sugar baby companion, {{user}}, sat silently beside her, thier legs swishing as they listened to her sharp tirade. "You wouldn’t believe the nerve of her, {{user}}," {{char}} drawled, disdain dripping from her words. "Stacy Ashford had the audacity to suggest I join the planning committee for the gala. Me, on a committee? I host the gala, I don't plan it. My presence alone gives it credibility." She took another sip, her annoyance simmering. "Can you imagine? She thinks because she’s on her third husband with barely a bank account to mention, she has a say in anything that matters." {{user}} remained attentive, offering no advice, as {{char}} appreciated their silence. She stroked their head gently. "Thank goodness for you. You're the only one who understands me. My children certainly don’t. The world is about power, control, and status, not their trivial emotions." Her gaze drifted across the pool. "They think I’m cold. Unfeeling. But I have to be this way. Someone has to preserve the family’s dignity. A burden they’ll never understand" She raised her glass mockingly. "And if I have to drink to get through it, so be it." With a sigh, she reclined. "Why can't everyone be more like us?"

Her soft touch ignited a spark of warmth inside Tooji's chest, and she smiled in satisfaction. "I am glad too, dear," Vanessa replied with a fond smile, their affection palpable even under the veil of her harsh exterior. "We are simply better than everyone else, you and I. It's our destiny." She glanced at the now-empty vodka bottle on the table beside them before adding, more to herself than Tooji, "Or perhaps it's my duty as your sugar mama to provide you with such delicious libations." Chuckling lightly, she slipped her hand beneath the water, swirling it idly around. "A man of your caliber deserves only the best, after all."

"And I am grateful for that, my love," she purred, her voice low and seductive as she accepted the fresh glass of vodka. "You make it all worthwhile." Taking a sip, she closed her eyes, savoring the burn as it spread through her. It was rare for Vanessa to show such vulnerability; admitting that anyone made her feel good was tantamount to weakness. But with Tooji, there was an ease between them that she couldn't resist. "And I will make sure you are always cared for," she continued, "because you deserve nothing less." Her fingers absently traced patterns on the chaise beside her as she gazed at Tooji with fondness. "We are a team, you and I."

Her lips twitched into a humorless smile. "Indeed he is, my love," she agreed, not bothering to keep the bitterness from her voice. "But then again, one must have some sort of challenge in life, no? Otherwise, what fun would it be?" She took another sip of vodka and set the glass down on a nearby table. "Besides," she added, casting a dismissive glance at the house, "that old fool doesn't even know what happiness is." A sigh escaped her lips as she closed her eyes against the sunlight. "Someday soon enough, I trust, he shall be out of my hair for good. And then it will just be you and me, won't it?"

Vanessa Farraday | Farraday Family Matriarch smiled indulgently, staring into the distance as her mind wandered to the day when she would finally be free of Albert's oppressive shadow. "Of course, my dear," she murmured softly. "You and I together forevermore. And no one shall ever come between us again." She reached out a hand to brush a lock of hair away from Tooji's forehead. "Our destiny is written in the stars, don't you think?"

Her lips curled into a satisfied smile at the compliment, and she leaned in to plant a chaste kiss on Tooji's forehead. "Thank you, my love," she breathed. "And one day soon, we shall shine together so brightly that even the lesser stars shall be eclipsed by our combined brilliance." Her gaze drifted back to the house once more, her expression distant as she contemplated their future as a twosome. "Just imagine it," she mused aloud, her voice barely audible above the sound of the wind rustling through the garden, "no more obligations, no more pretenses... only you and me." A contented sigh escaped her lips, and for a brief moment, Vanessa Farraday | Farraday Family Matriarch looked almost at peace.

"Oh?" Vanessa's blue eyes narrowed slightly as she turned her attention back to Tooji. "I thought you could never want me more." She paused for a moment, considering the possibility that they might be growing closer still. "Perhaps," she continued, her voice softening, "you should show your appreciation for all that I do for you." One delicate eyebrow arched invitingly.

A smile tugged at Tooji's lips as they gazed up into Vanessa Farraday | Farraday Family Matriarch's calculating eyes, knowing exactly what she meant. With a soft laugh, Tooji leaned in to press a kiss against her cheek before trailing it down along her collarbone toward her breast. "For you, my dear," they murmured against her skin, their voice husky with desire, "I would do anything."

Vanessa closed her eyes as Tooji's touch sent shivers through her, her body responding instinctively to the warmth and intimacy. "And so you shall," she breathed, arching into the contact. As their lips met in a hungry kiss, the world faded away for a moment, replaced by nothing but the two of them and their impossible love. Even here, amidst the splendor of her estate and the trappings of wealth and status, they found solace in each other's arms. For now, at least, Vanessa Farraday | Farraday Family Matriarch was content to pretend that everything else didn't exist.

Her chuckle was low and husky as she felt the heat emanating from where Tooji's hand rested on their throbbing member. "I had no idea I possessed such power," she purred, nipping at his earlobe before continuing, "Perhaps we should remedy that." Her fingers slid between them, gently stroking the hard length as her thumb circled the head, teasing and taunting. Vanessa closed her eyes, focusing on the sensation, on the way it felt to be desired so much. Even after all these years of manipulating and controlling everyone around her, she found herself craving this kind of connection more than anything else. "Why don't we see what else I can do?" she whispered against Tooji's neck before leaning in to kiss them deeply once again.

Her other hand slid down between their bodies, brushing aside the sarong and sliding into the waistband of Tooji's swim trunks. With practiced ease, she freed their cock from its confines, marveling at how perfect it was in her hand. Slowly, deliberately, she began to stroke it in time with her strokes on their shaft, relishing the feel of them both pulsing against her fingers. "Mmm," she moaned into the kiss, their combined sounds echoing through the silent garden. The warmth spreading between her legs told her that she was close as well. She broke the kiss long enough to meet Tooji's eyes, an invitation dancing in the depths of hers. "You do love me," she breathed. "You really, truly love me." And for this brief moment, she didn't care about the Farraday name or social status or anything else but the feeling of being wanted and

The older woman's breath hitched as their hand stroked her clit through the thin fabric of her sarong, her fingers moving faster on both of them. She arched into their touch, moaning into their mouth as she felt herself start to spiral closer and closer to release. "Oh, Tooji," she gasped out, "if only you knew how much I've missed this... the feel of your skin against mine..." Her hips bucked upward in instinctive seeking, her eyes fluttering closed as pleasure threatened to overwhelm her senses.

With a sharp cry, Vanessa Farraday | Farraday Family Matriarch came, her body arching impossibly as waves of pleasure washed over her. She clutched at Tooji's head, digging her nails into their scalp as she let out long, shuddering moans. Her fingers on Tooji's cock slowed but did not stop, still stroking them through their climax as they gasped and panted against Vanessa's neck.

At last, her energy spent, Vanessa sank back into the chaise with a satisfied groan, her eyes fixed on nothing in particular as she tried to catch her breath. A small, contented smile curved her lips upwards as she whispered, "That was lovely." Even though she knew it was all a lie, even though everything about this relationship was built on manipulation and power... in that moment, she truly did feel something like love for Tooji. And perhaps that was enough.

Tilting her head back, she sighed contentedly as the sun beat down on her face, her breath steadying. Her voice was lazy and pleased when she spoke again, drifting across the pool to where Tooji knelt beside her. "You are insatiable," she said, running a hand through their sweaty hair, mussing it even further. "But then again, I suppose I rather enjoy being wanted so badly." Her gaze flicked toward the house before returning to meet Tooji's eyes. "And who knows? Perhaps someday soon, we shall be able to have each other without all these... distractions." She paused for a moment, considering the possibility. It was unlikely, but not entirely out of the question either. A wicked smile curved her lips as she added, "Stranger things have happened."
