TOPANGA'S SECRET WEAPON

The penthouse smelled like garlic and butter and expensive champagne. Riley stood at the stove in nothing but an apron — her bare ass visible to anyone in the kitchen, stirring a pan of scallops that sizzled and popped. Maya sat on the counter beside her, legs crossed, a glass of vintage Krug dangling from her fingers, wearing a silk robe that kept sliding off one shoulder.

"You're going to burn those," Maya said. "I'm not going to burn them." "You're burning them. I can smell it." "That's the butter, you psycho. It's supposed to smell like that." Riley flipped a scallop. It landed perfectly. She shot Maya a look. "See?" "Topanga's going to be here in twenty minutes and you're cooking naked." "You're the one who suggested it." "I suggested you cook in lingerie. You took the apron thing literally." Riley shrugged. The movement made her breasts shift under the apron fabric. "Topanga's seen me naked. She's had her tongue inside me. I think she can handle me cooking scallops without pants."

Maya took a long sip of champagne. The bubbles hit her nose and she winced, then smiled. The penthouse was warm — they'd cranked the heat because Riley complained about drafts every time she took her clothes off, which was roughly six times a day. The Manhattan skyline glowed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city laid out like a circuit board, all amber and white and distant.
The elevator rang. "That's her," Maya said. She hopped off the counter, tightened her robe, and padded to the elevator door which opened. Topanga stood in the elevator holding a bottle of champagne and a small brown paper bag. She wore a fitted black dress that ended above the knee, her brown hair loose around her shoulders. She looked like she'd come from a board meeting — which, in fact, she had.

"Hi," Topanga said. She looked past Maya into the kitchen, where Riley's bare backside was on full display. "Is Riley... cooking naked?" "Technically she's wearing an apron." "That doesn't cover her ass." "No," Maya agreed. "It does not." Topanga stepped inside. She set the champagne on the console table and held up the brown bag. "I brought something." "What is it?" "A secret." Maya raised an eyebrow. "You brought a secret to dinner?" "I brought a secret weapon." Topanga's eyes had that gleam — the one that appeared when she'd had exactly half a glass of wine and decided she was going to be dangerous tonight. "I'll show you later."

They ate at the dining table — scallops, then a pasta Riley had made from scratch that morning, then a cheese board that Maya had arranged with the kind of obsessive precision usually reserved for surgery. The champagne flowed. Topanga's bottle turned out to be a 2012 Dom Pérignon that she'd been saving, and between the three of them they killed it before the cheese course was done.
"I shouldn't have opened that," Topanga said, refilling her glass anyway. You absolutely should have," Riley said. She'd removed the apron after plating the food and now sat at the table naked, her skin flushed from the wine and the warm air. "It's a holiday weekend. Those are the rules."

"It's not a holiday weekend." "It's a weekend. That's close enough." Topanga laughed. She'd kicked off her heels under the table and her toes kept brushing against Maya's ankle — whether accidentally or on purpose, Maya couldn't tell. The conversation drifted. They talked about the Blackjack Club, about the strip tournament on the MSS Fulfillment, about the time Topanga had gotten so competitive during strip poker that she'd lost her shirt before anyone else had even lost a sock. "I was winning," Topanga protested. "You were naked. That's the opposite of winning." "I was winning strategically. I was reducing my inventory."

Maya snorted champagne through her nose. Riley pounded her on the back while Topanga watched with a satisfied expression, the kind of look a chess master gives when their gambit pays off. The bottle emptied. Riley opened another. The night stretched out ahead of them like a promise. Then
Topanga leaned back in her chair and looked between them. "You two are up to something."
"What?" Maya said, too quickly. "You've been exchanging looks all night. Every time I reach for my glass, one of you glances at the other. When I went to the bathroom, you both stopped talking before I got back."

"Maybe we were talking about you," Riley said. "You were planning something." Maya set down her glass. She looked at Riley. Riley looked at Maya. A silent conversation passed between them in the span of two seconds — the kind that only happens between people who've been together long enough to communicate in eyebrow movements and half-breaths. "Topanga," Maya said. "How much champagne have you had?" "Enough to be honest. Not enough to be stupid." "Good." Maya stood up. She walked around the table and stood behind Topanga's chair. She placed her hands on Topanga's shoulders and squeezed gently. "Because we have a proposal."

"A proposal." Topanga's voice was steady but Maya could feel the slight tension in her shoulders — the kind that came from anticipation, not fear. She'd felt it before. Last time. In the amber room.
"Riley and I were talking," Maya continued, her thumbs working into the knots at the base of Topanga's neck. "About how much fun we had last time." "In the Suite," Riley added. "And we thought — since it's a weekend, and you're here, and we have champagne —" "You want to do it again," Topanga said.

"We want to do it bigger." Maya leaned down and spoke directly into Topanga's ear. "We want you to be ours tonight. Completely. Not just in the Suite. Here. The whole penthouse. Whatever we want, whenever we want it." Topanga was quiet for a moment. Her shoulders rose and fell with a deep breath. "Whatever you want." "Whatever we want." "And if I say stop?" "The same rules as before. You say stop, we stop. You say yellow, we slow down. You say green, we keep going."

Topanga turned her head and looked up at Maya. Her brown eyes were bright with champagne and something else. Something hungrier. "Green," she said. Maya kissed her. It was firm and claiming, her hand coming up to grip Topanga's jaw, tilting her face to the right angle. Topanga opened her mouth and Maya's tongue slid inside. The kiss tasted like Dom Pérignon and want. Riley was already moving. She'd cleared the table in broad sweeps — plates and glasses shoved to the side, the cheese board relocated to the counter. She came back with two items: a pair of leather cuffs and a satin collar.

"Stand up," Riley said. Topanga stood. Maya stepped back to give her room. Riley walked around Topanga slowly, appraising her the way someone appraises a painting they're considering buying. She reached for the zipper at the back of Topanga's black dress and pulled it down in one smooth motion. The dress loosened, then slipped off Topanga's shoulders and pooled at her feet. No bra. Black lace underwear. Thigh-high stockings. "God," Riley said. "You dressed for this." "I dressed for dinner."

"Same thing." Riley knelt and rolled the stockings down, one leg then the other. She hooked her fingers into the waistband of the underwear and pulled them down. Topanga stepped out of them.
Naked. In the penthouse dining room, surrounded by half-eaten cheese and empty champagne bottles, Topanga stood naked and waited. Riley fastened the collar around her throat. The satin was black and snug, with a small silver ring at the front. She attached a thin leather leash to the ring. "On your knees," Maya said.

Topanga knelt on the hardwood floor. The cool wood pressed against her kneecaps. Maya circled her, trailing her fingers across Topanga's collarbones, over her breasts, down the plane of her stomach. She stopped at the leash and picked it up, wrapping it once around her fist. "Riley, go to the Suite. Bring back the blindfold, the wand, and the crop." Riley disappeared down the hallway. Maya heard her bare feet on the hardwood, then the click of the door. She looked down at Topanga. "You're going to do everything we say tonight." "Yes." "Say 'yes, Maya.'"

"Yes, Maya."

"Good." Maya tugged the leash gently, pulling Topanga's head back so she was looking up. "You're going to be our toy. Our plaything. You're going to come when we tell you to come and stop when we tell you to stop. And if you're very, very good, we'll let you come more than once." Topanga's pupils dilated. Her lips parted. Her chest rose and fell faster. Riley returned with the items. She set them on the dining table — the black silk blindfold, the wand vibrator, and a riding crop with a leather tip. She also brought a bottle of lube and, inexplicably, a small glass jar. "What's that?" Maya asked. Riley shrugged. "Found it in the bathroom. Topanga left it here last time."

Topanga's eyes went wide. "That's — no, put that back." Maya picked up the jar. It was small, about the size of a spice container, with a handwritten label: CHILI OIL — TOPANGA'S RECIPE.
"Chili oil?" Maya said. "You make chili oil?" "It's a hobby. Give it back." Maya unscrewed the lid. The smell hit her — smoky, warm, rich with capsaicin. It wasn't overwhelming, but it was definitely present. She dipped the tip of her pinky into the oil and touched it to her lips. A slow heat bloomed across her mouth, spreading across her tongue and into her cheeks. It was good. It was really good.

"This is your secret weapon?" Maya said. "It's for cooking. It's not for — whatever you're thinking."
"What am I thinking?" Maya dipped her pinky again. She stepped closer to Topanga and held her finger in front of her mouth. "Lick." Topanga's tongue touched Maya's finger. She tasted the oil and her eyes fluttered. "Maya." "How does it feel?" "Warm." Maya looked at Riley. Riley was watching with her head tilted, her lower lip caught between her teeth. "What happens if we put this somewhere other than your mouth?" Maya asked.

Topanga's breath caught. "It would, it would be warm. Very warm. On sensitive skin it would —"
"Interesting." Maya set the jar on the table and picked up the blindfold. "Close your eyes."
Topanga closed them. Maya tied the silk around her head, snug and secure, and the dining room went dark for her. She was on her knees, naked, collared, blindfolded, in her daughter's penthouse. Her pussy was already wet. She could feel it, the slickness between her thighs, the ache that had been building since Maya had whispered in her ear.

"Riley, spread her knees wider." Riley knelt beside Topanga and placed her hands on her mother's knees. She pushed them apart — not roughly, but firmly. Topanga's pussy opened slightly, the inner lips glistening. Riley ran her fingers along the inside of Topanga's thigh and felt her shiver. Maya picked up the crop. She walked around Topanga slowly, letting the leather tip drag across her skin, across her shoulders, down her spine, over the curve of her ass. She brought it up between Topanga's legs and let it rest there, the leather pressing lightly against her pussy.

"Don't move," Maya said. Topanga didn't move. She was trembling, but she didn't move. Maya struck. The crop came down across Topanga's right ass cheek with a sharp crack. Topanga gasped and her body jerked forward, but she caught herself. The skin bloomed red instantly, a bright stripe against her pale skin. "Again?" Maya asked. "Green," Topanga whispered. Maya struck the other cheek. Same crack, same gasp, same red stripe. She alternated, right, left, right, left, building a rhythm that had Topanga swaying on her knees, her breath coming in short bursts, her ass flushed pink and warm. Between strikes, Riley reached underneath and cupped Topanga's breasts, pinching her nipples, rolling them between her fingers until they were hard and tight.

"She's dripping," Riley said, looking between Topanga's legs. "It's on the floor." "Good." Maya set the crop down and picked up the chili oil. She dipped her index finger and coated it thoroughly. "I'm going to try something," she told Topanga. "If it's too much, you say yellow. Understand?"
"Yes." Maya reached between Topanga's legs from behind and pressed her oiled finger against the opening of Topanga's pussy. Not inside, just against it. Just enough for the oil to make contact with the sensitive skin. Topanga inhaled sharply. Her hips twitched. "Oh — oh, that's —" "Warm?" "It's, God it's like someone turned on a furnace right against."

Maya slid her finger inside. Just to the first knuckle. The oil coated Topanga's inner walls and the heat bloomed inward, spreading through her pussy like a slow wildfire. Topanga's hands clenched into fists at her sides. Her head dropped back. A sound came from her that was half moan, half whimper. "Fuck," she said. "Fuck, that's, it's so warm, it's," "Too much?" "No. No. It's , more. Please."

Maya withdrew her finger and coated two fingers this time. She slid them both inside, pressing deep, curling them upward against Topanga's G-spot. The oil spread further, the heat intensifying everywhere it touched. Topanga's pussy was clenching around Maya's fingers rhythmically, her walls squeezing and releasing. Riley watched, fascinated. She'd never seen anything like it. Topanga's reactions were off the charts, her body responding to the oil like it was a drug. Her thighs were shaking. Her nipples were so hard they looked almost painful. A thin sheen of sweat had appeared across her chest.

"What does it feel like?" Riley asked Topanga. "Like my pussy is on fire but it doesn't burn. It just — it makes everything more. Every touch is — oh God, Maya, keep doing that —" Maya was fucking her slowly with two fingers, pressing against the G-spot on every stroke. She used her other hand to scoop a small amount of chili oil and press it against Topanga's clit. Topanga screamed. Not a painful scream — a surprised one. Her entire body seized. Her back arched and her hips bucked and she came without warning, her pussy spasming around Maya's fingers, a rush of wetness flooding down Maya's hand and onto the floor.

"She just came," Riley said, unnecessarily. "She did." Maya kept her fingers inside, letting Topanga ride the aftershocks. The oil was still working, still heating, and Topanga's pussy kept clenching in slow waves. "And she didn't ask permission." "I couldn't — I didn't know it was —" "Shh." Maya withdrew her fingers. She wiped them on the cloth napkin from the table. "You came without permission. That means you need to be reminded who's in charge." Maya picked up the leash and pulled Topanga to her feet. She led her — blindfolded, collared, naked, unsteady — through the penthouse. Riley walked behind, carrying the wand and the crop. They passed through the living room, past the windows where the city glowed, and into the bedroom.

The bedroom was large. California king, white sheets, blackout curtains. Maya guided Topanga to the bed and pushed her down onto her back. The sheets were cool against Topanga's heated skin and she gasped at the contrast. "Riley, cuff her." Riley pulled leather cuffs from the nightstand they kept them everywhere, in every room, because planning ahead was the key to good debauchery. She fastened Topanga's wrists to the headboard, stretching her arms above her head. She didn't cuff her ankles this time. She wanted her legs free. Maya removed her robe. Underneath she wore nothing. She climbed onto the bed and straddled Topanga's waist, her pussy pressing against Topanga's stomach. She could feel the heat radiating from Topanga's skin. The chili oil was still active, still warming her from the inside.

"I'm going to sit on your face," Maya said. "And you're going to eat me until I come. And while you do that, Riley is going to use the wand on you. But you're not going to come again until I do. Understand?" "Yes, Maya." Maya shifted forward, positioning her pussy over Topanga's mouth. She lowered herself slowly. Topanga's tongue found her immediately. Broad, flat strokes through Maya's folds, tasting her, then narrowing to a point and circling her clit. Maya braced her hands against the headboard and ground down, riding Topanga's mouth. "Riley now," Maya said.

Riley turned the wand on. She pressed it against Topanga's pussy, the vibrating head settling directly over her clit. The combination of the wand's intensity and the lingering chili oil was devastating. Topanga's hips flew off the bed, her back arching, a muffled cry escaping into Maya's pussy. But she didn't stop licking. Her tongue kept working, kept circling, kept sucking because she knew the rules. She couldn't come until Maya did, and if she stopped, there would be consequences.
Maya rode her face with increasing urgency. Topanga's tongue was relentless, skilled. She'd learned exactly how Maya liked it, exactly the right pressure, exactly when to suck and when to lick. Maya's orgasm built in her core, tightening like a spring. She ground harder, pressing her clit against Topanga's mouth, feeling the tension climb.

"Right there," Maya gasped. "Don't stop right there." Topanga sucked her clit into her mouth and flicked it with her tongue, rapid little strokes that sent electricity through Maya's entire body. Maya came with a shout, her hips jerking, her pussy grinding against Topanga's face, her hands gripping the headboard so hard the wood creaked. She rode the orgasm in rolling waves, each one making her clench and shudder, until she collapsed forward, breathing hard. "Come," she said, still catching her breath. "Come right now."

Riley pressed the wand harder against Topanga's clit and turned it up. Topanga's second orgasm hit like a freight train. Her body bowed off the bed, her wrists pulling against the cuffs, her legs wrapping around Riley's arm. She squirted again less than last time but still enough to soak the sheets beneath her. Her scream was raw and broken and beautiful. Riley turned the wand off. She set it aside and began releasing the cuffs. Maya rolled off Topanga's face and lay beside her, still trembling. Topanga's chin was wet with Maya's arousal, her lips swollen, her chest heaving.

"Nobody's touched Riley yet," Riley said, standing at the foot of the bed. She was still naked, still flushed, her thighs pressed together. "Which seems like an oversight." And Topanga laughed a breathless, wrecked laugh. "Get up here." Riley climbed onto the bed. She straddled Topanga's face, facing the headboard, and lowered her pussy to Topanga's mouth. Topanga licked her immediately with no hesitation, no preamble. She grabbed Riley's hips and pulled her down, burying her tongue inside Riley, fucking her with it in deep, wet strokes. Riley's head fell back. Her hands found her own breasts, squeezing, pinching her nipples. Maya, recovering, moved behind Riley. She pressed her body against Riley's back, her nipples brushing against Riley's skin. She reached around and replaced Riley's hands with her own, cupping her wife's breasts, thumbing her nipples while Topanga ate her from below.

"Tell me what she's doing," Maya whispered against Riley's neck. "She's — fuck — her tongue is inside me and she's curling it and — God —" "Does it feel good?" "It feels so good, I'm going to —"
"Not yet." "Maya." "I said not yet." Maya pinched Riley's nipples hard enough to make Riley gasp and flinch. "You wait. You come when I say." Topanga kept licking. She'd moved to Riley's clit now, sucking it between her lips, flicking it with the tip of her tongue. Riley was shaking, her thighs clamping around Topanga's head, her hips grinding in small desperate circles. "Please," Riley said. "Maya, please, I can't —" "You can." "I can't, I'm going to —" "Now," Maya said. "Come now."

Riley shattered. Her orgasm ripped through her in violent spasms, her back arching against Maya, her pussy grinding against Topanga's mouth, a gush of wetness that Topanga lapped up greedily. Riley made a sound that was almost a sob, her whole body clenching and releasing in waves. Maya held her upright, arms around her waist, lips against her shoulder. They collapsed together. All three of them, tangled on the king-sized bed, sheets ruined, the city glowing outside the windows. Maya on one side, Riley on the other, Topanga in the middle. The chili oil's warmth had finally faded to a gentle tingle, like an afterglow inside an afterglow.

"Your secret weapon," Maya said after a long silence, "is incredible." "It's for cooking," Topanga said weakly. "It's for everything now." Riley kissed her shoulder. "We're keeping that jar." "You can't keep my chili oil." "We absolutely can. It's in our penthouse. Finders keepers." "That's not how the law works." "That's how this penthouse works," Maya said. She propped herself up on one elbow and looked down at Topanga who was flushed, wrecked, satisfied. "Next time, bring two jars." Topanga closed her eyes and smiled. "Maybe I will." "Maybe you will." Maya lay back down and pulled the blanket over all three of them. "Right after you teach us the recipe."

Topanga opened one eye. "Absolutely not. A woman has to keep some secrets." Riley's muffled laugh came from somewhere in the pillow. "You say that now. Give us another bottle of Dom and see what happens." Topanga pulled the blanket up to her chin, wedged between two naked women who'd just made her come harder than she had in years, and decided that some secrets were worth keeping.
