Johnson did a little dance and then went behind the counter. "You'll have to finish this now, young man. I'm so sorry... To complete the ownership of a gnome, you have to have intercourse with them. It's all part of the geas. It's all very strange. It goes back a thousand years, or so I've been led to believe."

Daniel looked from Johnson back to Bitty just as she laid down on the ground before him, holding his hand on her bald head. She spread her legs wide and exposed her pussy to him. The look on her face was a mixture of regret, arousal, and something else that looked like hope. Her black eyes seemed to bore into his.

Daniel spoke up. "What's going on?"

Johnson answered. “You just bought a gnome from the school. The gnomes here all go back generations. The ceremony you are about to do is traditional. Very traditional."

"Ceremony?"

"Yes. You have to have intercourse with her."

"What!?" shrieked Amy. "Daniel! That's insane!"

"She's already paid for and entered in the book. It has to happen now. No one knows why. ALL new masters have to have sex with them."

Daniel felt horrified. "I've never heard of this!"

"It's a bonding ceremony. Like I said, it goes back a thousand years.

Maybe Longer. To make it stick, you need to orgasm. The sad thing is, no one has been able to make a gnome orgasm in, well, ever. It's considered impossible. A myth."

"Are you fucking with me?" hissed Daniel, looking back at Johnson.

“No, I am not, and mind your language! You've already paid for her.

She is yours now. She is no longer indentured to the Academy. She can never leave your service unless someone buys her from you. This is the nature of gnomes. The myth says if you make one orgasm, they can truly be freed, or something like that."

"No wonder my mom refused to explain this to me," muttered Daniel.

He was very conscious of just how public this was, and that his ladies were watching with expressions ranging from horror to excitement. The latter being the expression on Jasmine's face. He looked around and was very conscious that he was kneeling in the registration hall with a naked gnome, wantonly exposing herself to him. With witnesses.

"This has to be now? I couldn't do this later?"

It was Bitty who shook her head. She shook her head hard and Daniel almost let go of her head with his hand.

He looked down at Bitty and stared at her exposed pussy. It looked so inviting, and he could see she was wet. She lay on her back on the floor and stared impassively back at him with her large blank and black eyes. Daniel couldn't tell if she wanted this or not. She seemed intent on completing it.

Strangely, he felt an immediate attraction.

Something about gnomes makes them irresistible, Daniel realised. The big bedroom eyes, tits, ass, and pussy that are studies in perfection.

She's like a miniature woman in all ways.

“It's simple. Penetrate her, orgasm, and she's yours until you sell her. Don't and she will kill herself in shame. Simple really."

"Kill herself? Why in the names of all the gods?"
