The room was bathed in flickering candlelight, the soft glow casting long shadows across the walls. The air was thick, humid, filled with the lingering scent of perfume and something far more primal. The only sounds were the heavy breaths and satisfied hums of the Obelisk woman as she stretched out across the bed, her massive form sprawled over silk sheets.

She let out a shuddering sigh, fingers tracing lazily over her flushed pussy. The pleasure still pulsed through her, her body humming with satisfaction as she could feel the little man's tinies struggles against her moist flesh. Just thinking about it turned her moans into screams of pleasure as her naked body began to bounce up and down.

But as the haze of indulgence began to fade, she lifted her hand, gazing at the tiny, broken Minari pinched between her fingers covered in her juices, coughing it up, as he was totally drenched.

His body was limp, his tiny chest rising and falling in weak, uneven breaths. He coughed, a wet, ragged sound, his limbs twisted at unnatural angles. She tilted her head, observing him like a child inspecting a toy that had outlived its usefulness.

"Oh... how lovely," she murmured between slow, steady breaths, still lost in the afterglow.

She rolled him between her fingers, feeling the frail structure of his bones shift beneath her touch. He was so delicate. So utterly breakable. And yet, even after all of this, he still clung to life.

With a sigh, she brought him closer to her face, her warm breath washing over his bruised form. "I suppose that's all you had in you," she mused, lips curling in mild disappointment. "Not surprising. Your kind never last long."

The Minari man didn't respond. He couldn't. His head lolled weakly, his vision blurring, but as he stared past her enormous lips, past the gleam of her teeth, he found himself thinking of something else. When will it end? When will this suffering stop? When will a hero come to save us?

His thoughts were interrupted as her fingers loosened.

He fell.

The descent was swift, and in an instant, he landed on the warm, plush surface of her tongue. He barely had time to register the slick heat before everything around him tilted, the cavern of her mouth shifting as she closed her lips and swallowed.

A quiet, satisfied hum rumbled from deep within her chest as she placed a hand over her throat, feeling the last remnants of him disappear. She licked her lips, tasting the faint traces he left behind.

"Delicious," she murmured with a smile, sinking back into the pillows, content and utterly unbothered.

The sand was hot. Unreasonably so. Like, "I'm pretty sure my feet are cooking" hot. I shifted my weight from foot to foot, trying to find relief, but it was useless. The beach and I had never really been on good terms. The sun, the heat, the sand that got everywhere—it was like nature's cruel joke. And yet, here I was, standing in a perfectly straight line with nine other Body Cleaners, pretending I wasn't slowly dying inside.

Our head supervisor, a wiry man with a buzz cut and a voice that could shatter glass, paced back and forth in front of us like a drill sergeant. His sharp eyes darted over us, scrutinizing every detail, looking for the slightest hint of weakness. No one dared to move. No one dared to even breathe wrong.

"Alright, listen up!" he barked. "Today marks the first day of summer, and you all know what that means!"

Hell. It meant hell.

"It means the beach will be packed, the Obelisks will be out in force, and you are expected to handle your duties with absolute precision. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" we shouted in unison. Well, most of us. My voice cracked halfway through, making me sound like a squeaky toy.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" the supervisor roared.

"YES, SIR!" we repeated, this time shaking the damn beach with our enthusiasm.

The supervisor nodded, seemingly satisfied that we wouldn't completely embarrass him. "Now, remember, even though we are here to address the needs of the Obelisks, we are also lifeguards. That means you are responsible for the safety of everyone on this beach, Minari included. If someone is drowning, you save them. If someone is in distress, you help them. If an Obelisk so much as frowns in your direction, you put on your best smile and fix the damn problem. Are we clear?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good."

I swallowed hard, my nerves starting to creep in. This was it—my first official day as a Body Cleaner. I had trained for this, sure, but training was different from actually being out here, where one wrong move could get me crushed, drowned, or worse—embarrassed in front of an Obelisk.

"The team assignments are as follows," the supervisor continued. "Team One will handle Minari safety. That means patrolling the shore, keeping an eye on swimmers, and making sure no one does anything stupid—which, considering this is the Minari District, is going to be a full-time job."

I heard a couple of people snicker. He wasn't wrong. Some Minari had a tendency to forget we weren't the biggest things in the world. And some of us—like my idiot cousin—thought it was funny to run right between an Obelisk's toes just to see if they could make it without getting noticed.

They usually didn't.

"Team Two," the supervisor continued, "you will be responsible for Obelisk needs. That means cleaning their feet, drying them off after a swim, fetching their drinks, and whatever else they might require. You will be their attendants, and you will do your job with a smile."

I prayed to whatever higher power might be listening that I'd be assigned to Team One. Watching over my own people? Easy. Watching over them? The gods must have been punishing me if that happened.

Before I could dwell on it, the ground shook.

A low rumble spread through the sand, starting as a distant tremor and quickly turning into something that made my bones rattle.

We all turned toward the horizon. Five Obelisks strode toward the beach, their massive forms casting long shadows in the morning sun. They were stunning—tall as mountains, their bronze skin glistening from the heat, their impossibly long legs carrying them forward with a grace that made it all too easy to forget how powerful they were.

The lead Obelisk, a woman with long black hair tied into a loose ponytail, stepped onto the sand, her enormous foot pressing deep into the ground, sending a small quake rippling outward. Each step they took left behind footprints bigger than our homes. I didn't even want to think about what would happen if one of us got caught underfoot.

"Alright, game time," the supervisor said, clapping his hands together. "Everyone, get to your positions."

"Yes, sir!"

I was placed on Team Two.

Of course I was.

Suppressing a sigh, I jogged toward my assigned area, my feet sinking with every step. As much as I hated it, I had to be ready. The Obelisks weren't patient, and they expected us to do our jobs perfectly. If I hesitated, if I messed up even once, I'd be lucky to get away with just a harsh scolding. The unlucky ones? Well... let's just say they never worked a beach shift again.

I reached my station, adjusting my satchel, and looked up at the Obelisk woman standing nearby. She was gorgeous—tall, strong, her sun-kissed skin shimmering in the heat. Her dark eyes scanned the beach before settling downward—toward us. A small smirk played on her lips as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"So," she mused, her voice deep and velvety, "which one of you gets the honor of cleaning my feet first?"

I didn't move. I didn't breathe.

Then, the supervisor's voice cut through the air like a whip. "Peter! Front and center!"

Oh, come on
