A couple of nights later, after the club closed for the evening, Sonata was cleaning up behind the bar. She’d volunteered to do a little extra work around the club to help Adagio out, just as she did for looking over the books and receipts in the office. She hummed and whistled along to the tunes on her music player, with rock and roll sounds coming from the headphones if anyone happened to be close enough.

As she worked, her back was to the bar as she set a few glasses along the shelf, she didn’t quite hear approaching footsteps. Sonata hummed, dancing her hips a bit, until she felt a poked on her shoulder. She swatted slightly, not turning around.

“Mommy… I’m almost done! I just have to put the glasses back.”

There was no response. Just another poke to her shoulder. Sonata sighed, lowering her headphones and turning around.

“What is it? What are you-”

She froze in mid-sentence upon seeing that it wasn’t Adagio, but Aria.

“...You!” Sonata glared, reaching for something, which happened to be a bottle of vodka, “You have a lot of nerve showing your face here! What do you want?”

“Like I’m gonna leave you alone with-”

Sonata smashed the bottle and pointed the jagged edges at her, “Call her a predator one more time…”

Aria looked down at the bottle in surprise and backed away, “Alright, fine… I was worried, okay? Can you blame me for worrying?”

“Maybe not, but with what you did, I’m having a little hard time channeling my empathy!” Sonata said, placing the broken bottle down, but still within reach, “Why did you tell my parents?”

“Their daughter’s alive and I’m NOT gonna tell them?” Aria asked, raising an eyebrow, “C’mon, Sona. You got good grades, you’re smarter than that.”

“Okay, fine,” Sonata said sourly, “But they did the same thing! They practically jumped down Adagio’s throat! Do you see why I don’t want people trying to ‘save’ me? I don’t need to be saved! I’m perfectly happy here!”

Aria sighed, “Yeah yeah, I know. You think you’re totally alright and don’t see anything creepy about any of this at all. I heard it the last time. Just stop and think for a minute, alright? Really think about it! This woman is fourty-one. She’s twenty-three years older than you. Just really think about that for a minute, without the fact that you ‘love’ her.”

Sonata glared at her, but decided to humor her for a few minutes. Leaning back against the counter, she thought about the difference between herself and Adagio in age. Adagio definitely carried herself like a grown, confident woman. Their relationship did put her on top, and she even liked to call Adagio ‘Mommy.’ As she thought more, the gravity of it started to settle on her mind and the reality that she could likely call Adagio a Cougar was finally apparent to her.

And as she started to think about it, she started to find herself incredibly turned on.

“....Uh….wow, um, yeah…” Sonata exhaled a little bit.

“Yeah? See what I mean?” Aria asked, looking somewhat hopeful.

Sonata shook a little, trying to ease herself from the mild but still noticeable pangs of arousal. She took another breath, letting it out, “...Okay, maybe Adagio is a little bit into younger women… But she’s not an evil predatory creeper. It’s just… it’s how it happened.”

“And it doesn’t bother you at all that she’s so much older than you?”  Aria asked, her hopeful face vanishing.

“No,” Sonata shook her head, “It never actually bothered me. Maybe if she were old enough to be my Mom or Grandma, I’d feel weird! Yeah, if she were some Granny, I’d see her as Grandmother and not some lover. Ew!”

“So why do you call her Mommy?” Aria asked incredulously.

Again, Sonata thought about it. She mostly did it because Adagio liked it and… actually no, that wasn’t true. She always felt safe with Adagio. Like nothing could hurt her. And Adagio always doted on her in a very motherly way, and would do things she often wished her actual mother would have done. The more she thought about it, Adagio really was her biggest mother figure.

And that was turning her on even more.

“She’s…. wow, it’s like she’s a second Mommy to me,” Sonata murmured.

“See? See what I mean?” Aria asked, looking hopeful again.

Shaking a little with arousal, Sonata leaned over the counter, gripping it a little, “Keep going, Aria… I’m listening…”

Aria was under the impression that she was upsetting Sonata, but if it meant getting her to see the light it was worth it, “Well really think about it. She treats you like her daughter, you comply. She’s obviously got a thing for younger women. Combine it with that, and we’ve got a pretty scary woman, Sonata. You’re sleeping with someone who treats you like her daughter, and she’s almost old enough for you to be it!”

Sonata giggled, squeezing her thighs together, “That’s kinda stretching a little…”

“That’s possible. But add about four years to it and she could be your mother,” Aria exclaimed, oblivious to the fact that she was having the exact opposite effect she was intending.

"Mom was twenty-six when she had me…” Sonata murmured, reaching her hand down to rub at her thigh.

“Teen moms still exist, Sonata,” Aria rolled her eyes, “You get my point.”

Sonata nodded, letting out little breathy gasps, “But you’re right… Adagio is like my Mommy… And my lover, too… And I love it!”

“There, you se-wait, what?!” Aria looked dumbfounded.

“Oh, Aria!” Sonata now came over the counter and hugged her, “I didn’t think of it all that way before, but now I did! Oh, thank you! I know it still sounds crazy to you, but trust me, you’ll understand! That’s why you should stay here for a while!”

“What?! Stay here?! Why on earth would I do that?!” Aria exclaimed in surprise.

“Because you need to get to know her!” Sonata insisted, “You’re just jumping to judgements and conclusions without even really seeing her. You know what? Spend two weeks here with us. Two weeks! Get to know her, see what she’s really like!”

“No way! I’m not staying here with that creepy-ass woman!” Aria exclaimed, glancing up at the window near the ceiling, seeing Adagio’s silhouette looking down at them. She shuddered. Adagio was creepily intimidating.

“She isn’t creepy!” Sonata told her, “Look, how about she come down and talk to you? I’ll even stay here as a middleman. Just talk to her. Ask her things.”

Aria glanced back up and shuddered again, “...Another time. Okay?”

“No. Now!” Sonata commanded, “If you walk out that door, you’re not coming back, are you? And if that’s the case, don’t even bother coming back again. If you love me, if you even care one bit about me, then maybe you’ll listen to me for once. I want you in my life, Aria… but if you walk out that door, you’re never seeing me again.”

Aria bit her lip as she contemplated Sonata’s ultimatum. It was probably a bluff, as Sonata never had the spine to stick to a threat like this. Nevertheless, she sighed and nodded, “Okay… bring her down here…”

Sonata smiled, then looked upward, “Mommy! Come on down here!”

Adagio’s shadow vanished from the window and after a few minutes she emerged from the door, approaching the bar, “Yes, sweetheart?”

At the mention of one of many of Adagio’s pet names, all the thoughts that Aria had put into her head came rushing back to her. Sonata shuddered slightly, sauntering over to her and kissing her cheek.

“I think… you and Aria need to really talk to each other. Please? I don’t want us to fight anymore… I want her to know what you’re really like,” Sonata pouted a little.

“Are you sure about that?” Adagio giggled, patting her head as she sniffed the air, “...Sona-baby, are you wet?”

“A little…” Sonata giggled, “I love you, Mommy…”

Adagio smirked and kissed her cheek, “Mommy loves you too, sweetheart…”

“You two are sick,” Aria said uneasily.

“Aria, sit down,” Sonata turned to her, pointing at the bar, “Adagio, you go sit down too. I’ll make some drinkies!” She hopped over behind the bar, taking out a couple of glasses.

Adagio and Aria sat down on opposite sides of the bar, Aria glaring at her.

“Are you going to start grilling me?” Adagio asked with a smirk.

“Yes,” Aria said abruptly.

Sonata placed a couple of drinks in front of them. A coke for Aria, and a mixed vodka martini for Adagio. She watched the two of them intently, grinning.

“First off… have you done this before? Taking advantage of vulnerable teenage girls on the rebound and seducing them with what they want?” Aria wanted to know.

“No, Sonata’s the first,” Adagio replied, “I was too busy with school to do any cradle-robbing.”

“Then why? You’re an older woman! You should know better!” Aria pointed toward Sonata, “Did you not see that she was vulnerable? Younger than you?”

“Yes, and yes,” Adagio nodded, “As to the why? She was cute, and had been nothing but cute for the past month.”

“Seriously? That?” Aria stared at her, “If you can’t control yourself, how’s that her problem?”

“I never said it was,” Adagio shrugged.

“You know what I told Sonata? You’re not just a cradle robber, you’re treating her like she’s your daughter!” Aria slapped the bar a little, “And she’s practically blinded by her love for you! That’s why I’m worried! Do you seriously not see the issue here?”

Adagio turned to Sonata, “Sona, are you aware that we have a mother-daughter dynamic between us?”

“Yeah…” Sonata said, biting her lip.

“And how do you feel about that?” Adagio asked.

“It’s...really sexy…” Sonata murmured, squeezing her thighs together.

Adagio turned back to Aria with an ‘I told you so’ look, “She seems pretty not-blind to me.”

“Look, Adagio…” Aria said her name with an uncertain tone, and faced her, “Could you just, for one second, look at this from my side? Without all the love?”

“No, I’ve already seen this from your side,” Adagio said, losing her snark, “Why don’t you turn the page and keep reading? Sonata has been here for three years, Aria. Three years. That’s longer than most relationships tend to last. If there were any doubts to be had, she would have had them by now. If there were any senses to come to, she would have come to them by now. If there were any worries or questionable behavior, she would have realized it by now. More to the point, she’s free to leave anytime she wants. She is not as dense as you think she is.”

“Yes!” Sonata threw in, “You see?”

Aria scrunched up her face, looking away now, “It’s still creepy.”

“What’s creepy to you is hot to us,” Adagio grinned, “Isn’t that right, sweetheart?”

“Uh-huh!” Sonata nodded, “Come oooon, Aria! You gotta admit, there’s a bit of-” She paused then, a thought occurring to her. “Wait a sec… I get it, now! You’re jealous!”

Aria’s eyes shot up to the size of saucers as she snapped her gaze back to her, “What?! Jealous?! The hell are you on about?! I am not!”

“Oh come on, you two made out like horny rabbits when you first came over,” Adagio snickered, “Just admit it, Aria, I don’t mind sharing.”

“I’m not denying my feelings for Sonata, but I am not jealous!” Aria protested, blushing a bit.

“Yes you are! You can’t stand the fact that a much more beautiful and successful woman snatched me up! You know you can’t have me, so you’re doing everything you can to drive Adagio away so you can have me for yourself!” Sonata pointed out, “It might be subconscious, but it’s there! You’re jealous!”

“I am not!” Aria half-shouted.

“Yes you aaaaaare! I can smell you!” Adagio teased.

Aria looked at her weirdly, “The hell does that mean?”

“You’re wetter than Sonata,” Adagio snickered.

“Am not!” Aria shook her head fiercely.

Sonata then grinned, tapping the bar a few times excitedly, “Adagio, I have an idea! Strip!”

Adagio looked at her as she started unbuttoning her blouse, “Whatever for, sweetheart?”

“Trust me… just do it,” Sonata giggled.

“Whoa whoa whoa, hold up a second!” Aria held up her hands, “First of all, why? Second of all, what the hell? Third of all, why?”

“You’re gonna have to ask her,” Adagio shrugged as she pulled her blouse off and started undoing her belt.

“I want you to see her naked,” Sonata smiled, “And then you tell me that this is not the single most gorgeous woman around! ...Okay, that’s unfair since there’s no such thing, but she is damn beautiful!”

Adagio pulled off her belt and slid her jeans off her legs before getting to work on unclipping her bra. Trying hard not to look, Aria was having difficulty doing so, continuously finding herself drawn to Adagio’s exposing skin.

“It’s… not… gonna prove anything!” Aria mumbled.

Adagio snickered as she removed her bra, “Legs open or closed, Sona-baby?”

“Keep them closed, but open them when I tell you!” Sonata winked.

Adagio smirked and hopped up onto the bar, sliding her panties off as she crossed her legs, sitting back in all her glory in front of the two younger women.

Shaking a bit in her seat, Aria couldn’t look anywhere but right at Adagio. Inwardly, she was beginning to really rethink ever calling her “old”, considering that Adagio looked anything but. Sure, she was clearly an older woman, appearing to be in the age range of late thirties or early forties. Clearly a full grown woman. Her skin was a slight tan, but looking very smooth and possibly warm to the touch. Her curves were absolutely generous, especially in her hips. All of this coupled with the sensuous smirk on her face was just too much for her. Aria shook harder, meeting Adagio’s piercing eyes.

“What do you think?” Sonata giggled.

“...Buh…” Aria uttered.

Adagio chuckled softly, “Are we a little lost for words, sweetie?”

“...No! Just… no! I never had a woman naked in front of me like this!” Aria blushed and scrunched up her face.

“Aw, this is your first time?” Adagio asked with a sweet smile, “I feel so honored.”

“Well, duh! Unlike some of us, I’m focused on school!” Aria shook her head.

Adagio snickered, “We’re both finished with school, sweetie.”

“Stooop! You guys!” Aria blushed and shook her head harder.

Sonata giggled, clapping, “Aww, but if you really wanted to leave, you already would have!”

Adagio chuckled, no longer needing a prompt from Sonata as she parted her legs and shifted so she was directly in front of Aria on the bar, displaying her womanhood to her.

“Ngh… stop… I surrender!” Aria waved her hands, blushing more.

“Oh what’s wrong, sweetie?” Adagio asked, reaching out and stroking Aria’s chin.

“...I still hate you both…” Aria pulled away.

“No you don’t,” Sonata crooned, “Now go ahead! Act out your deepest desire!”

“Come on, sweetheart,” Adagio cooed softly, gently tugging on Aria’s chin, “There’s no reason to be shy…”

Aria squirmed, “Noo! This is creepy! I don’t even know you!”

“If you find that creepy, then you’re free to go,” Adagio purred, gently tugging a little harder, “Of course… a lot of people find it hot. Like me.”

“Go on, Aria! Do it!” Sonata giggled, “Eat her out! She’s tasty!”

Adagio gently pulled Aria’s head closer, just hard enough for her to feel the tug, but not hard enough to overcome any resistance.

“Mmmph…” Aria shuddered a bit, finding this way too hard to resist, “...Fine. If I do this, will you two… I don’t know, stop it?”

“Like I said, you’re free to leave if it’s too much,” Adagio purred, gently guiding her closer to her nethers, “If you do it, it’ll be because you want to…”

“You know you want to!” Sonata said in a sing-song voice.

That was the problem. Aria did want to. For once, she could do something a lot more daring, a lot more interesting. To be more than just Sensible Aria as she had to be. Holding on to her original convictions was already beginning to slip. Maybe she really had to calm down a little, to really see this from Sonata’s perspective. To see that Adagio may not have been a malicious cradle robber.

Sighing a little, she leaned in closer, and went for it. Her mouth latched onto Adagio’s sex, to which she stood up and got a bit more leverage. Adagio groaned softly as her hand moved to the back of Aria’s head, pulling her down as she leaned her head back.

“Oh… there we are…” she purred.

“Oooh, this is hot!!” Sonata squealed. She came behind Adagio and wrapped her arms around her, nuzzling into her back.

Aria got the hang of it, surprisingly enjoying this. It seemed that she was doing a good job, what with how Adagio sounded pleased.

Adagio was pleased. One thing she loved was tense sex, and with how much Aria had been declaring that she hated her for the last week, getting her to go down on her felt like something of a triumph. Maybe Aria did still hate her. That only made her more aroused.

“Oh, you’re such a good girl,” she purred as she leaned back and patted Sonata’s head and Aria’s at the same time.

“Mmmph…” Aria uttered. She licked along her labia, getting used to the feeling, and where everything seemed to be. Eventually she found Adagio’s nub, to which she curiously played with using her tongue and fingers.

Adagio growled as a grin spread across her face, curling her legs around Aria’s head as Sonata kept her from falling back onto the floor, “Oooh, somebody’s feeling adventurous…”

“Are you kidding? She’s a total stiff!” Sonata giggled, “Always all conservative, sensible and like a stick in the mud! Now she’s being all adventurous! Yeeaah!”

“Mmmph…” Aria grumbled, but kept going nonetheless.

Adagio chuckled as she stroked Aria’s hair, “I don’t think we’re going to hear any more complaints from little Aria again, do you sweetheart?”

“No way. She’s the kinda girl who tries to, but she clearly doesn’t feel that way,” Sonata winked, “She comes from the ‘Conceal, don’t feel’ school of feelings.”

Adagio giggled, “Not like you. You open up really easily. Pun intended.”

“Hee, oh you!” Sonata kissed her cheek, “I think you’ll be able to get her to open up. I know I always could, even if she denies it!”

“Mmm-hmmmm-mmmmph…” Aria grumbled, clearly displeased by this conversation, yet made no attempt to discourage them so.

“You know, if you’re going to object, it would help if you didn’t have your face buried in my pussy,” Adagio snickered.

“You see?” Sonata grinned, “One time at Christmas, I gave her something I knew she wanted, but she wouldn’t admit it. She kept telling me she wasn’t that into the game… but she had this big excited grin on her face while saying it! It was hilarious!”

Adagio giggled, stroking Aria’s hair as she felt her climax on a slow boil, “Oh, I know the type!”

“Really? Well there you go! You’ll be able to handle her just fine!” Sonata cooed.

“Mmph…” Aria grumbled. Just as always, Sonata nailed it. Try as she may, to some people, she ended up becoming an open book. Nonetheless, she suckled and eagerly licked at Adagio’s damp sex. With the inklings of her juices beginning to come through, she could see Sonata was correct again… Adagio was delicious.

“Oh sweetie… Mommy’s almost there…” Adagio purred, tensing up as she reached back and patted Sonata’s cheek.

Aria still wasn’t sure how she felt about the whole motherly thing, but figured to let it slide for now. She worked a little faster, harder, truly gaining more of an idea of how this worked. Even with her inexperience, she couldn’t help feeling as if it weren’t nearly as hard as imagined.

Adagio purred as she quivered on the bar, seizing Aria’s ponytail in her hand as she pressed against her mouth, “There we go!” she squeaked as she released into Aria’s mouth, shuddering as Sonata held her upright.

“Atta girl, Aria!” Sonata cheered, nuzzling Adagio’s hair, “You did it!”

“Ngh…” Aria pulled back a little, her mouth smeared in the juicy, nectar-like substance, “That was… weird.”

Adagio smirked down at her, “Good weird?”

Aria scrunched up her lips and looked away.

Sonata giggled, “She says, ‘Good weird, but I’m not admitting it’!”

“Shut up…”Aria crossed her arms.

Adagio snickered and patted Aria’s cheek as she hopped down off the bar, “You loved it.”

Once more, Aria said nothing, only pouted more.

“Apology accepted, by the way,” Sonata giggled.

Adagio tied a robe around herself and snickered, coming around behind Aria and gently patting her rear, “Oh come on, there’s no shame here.”

At this, Aria perked a little bit with surprise, then relaxed, “Okay, fine… I did enjoy it.”

Adagio chuckled and patted Aria’s rear again, “There we go. Feel better?”

“Yeah…” Aria blushed more.

“Yay!” Sonata hugged her around the neck and kissed her cheek, “You’re the best, Aria! I’m sorry I was mean to you… I don’t hate you! I promise! I love you!”

“Yeah yeah…” Aria said, hugging her back but doing her best to look reluctant about it.

“Oh stop with the face,” Adagio giggled, rubbing Aria’s rear in circles.

“Quit iiiit…” Aria pouted.

“Aria, come on! Your stick-in-the-mud mama isn’t even here! She’s not gonna start her nonsense! Smile!” Sonata poked her nose, pouting, “Pwease?”

“Come on, sweetheart,” Adagio purred, patting faster, “Smile for Sona-baby.”

Aria tried to, wiggling a bit, “Okay, but can you stop the whole Mommy-Daughter thing? It’s still creepy.”

“Fiiine,” Sonata rolled her eyes, “We won’t do it in front of you. Now smile! I command you to smile! The power of smile compels you!”

This made Aria laugh, to which she smiled, “You’re cute when you try to be dominating.”

“Oh isn’t she ever,” Adagio smirked, taking her hand off Aria’s rear and coming around to hug Sonata from behind.

“That’s me! Cute as a button!” Sonata smile cheekily.

“Nah, you’re cuter than a button. More like a puppy, or a kitty, something like that,” Aria stood up, brushing off her blouse, “Anyway… guess I’ll get going.”

“Why?” Sonata pouted, “Don’t leave now! Things are just starting!”

“I have to go home, Sonata,” Aria said, shifting on each foot, “I can’t just vanish out of nowhere.”

“...Will you come back again?” Sonata looked at her with a pleading pout.

“Yeah, when I can,” Aria said, backing away toward the door as Adagio waved a cheerful goodbye.

“Call me!” Sonata said cheerfully, “Or you can surprise me!”

“Uh-huh,” Aria smiled, waving as she left, closing the door behind her.

Adagio smiled as she kissed the top of Sonata’s head, “Aw, did my sweetheart have fun with her friend?”

“I sure did, Mommy…” Sonata giggled, leaning back against her.

“Aw, you’re calling me Mommy,” Adagio giggled, nuzzling Sonata’s hair.

“I love doing that!” Sonata turned around and snuggled against her, “It’s a huge turn-on.”

“I know, but you usually call me Adagio-Mom,” Adagio purred, “Now you’re calling me Mommy. That’s lovely.”

“I did… but I decided to switch to either just Mommy, or Adagio-Mommy,” Sonata winked, “Whichever makes you wetter…”

“Mommy it is,” Adagio purred, squeezing Sonata’s waist.

“Yay! I love you, Mommy,” Sonata nuzzled her cheek.

“I love you too, sweetheart,” Adagio grinned, kissing her cheek.

“You know… watching her eat you out was really hot…” Sonata purred, licking her neck.

“Oh? Enjoyed the show, did we?” Adagio hissed, trailing her finger down Sonata’s back.

Sonata nodded and brought her own hands down to Adagio’s rear, “You bet I did! It was awesome seeing Aria finally loosen up! Watching that was awesome! I’m totally wet from that…”

“Trying to tell me something, sweetie?” Adagio purred with a giggle as she trailed her hand down to Sonata’s rear.

Licking her neck up to her jawline, Sonata nodded, “I’m feeling pretty horny, Mommy…”

“Oooh, that you are,” Adagio purred, reaching up Sonata’s skirt and feeling just how wet she was.

“You bet,” Sonata cooed and pressed closer, nuzzling and kissing her face.
