Different Levels of Experience Small Bargain - Definitive Edition chapter 6 by slappy

It didn't take long for Ember to arrive at her neighbours' house. As a result, Blake didn't really get a chance to ask her or Jack about what was going to happen or who she was visiting. Then again, trying to form coherent thoughts while jiggling away in the noisy belly of his daughter from a parallel future was still proving to be challenging for the captive mage. Perhaps it was a sort of blessing, therefore, that he would get answers very soon anyway.

Ember knocked on the door in a shave-and-a-haircut rhythm and, when the door opened, she and the two young men in her belly saw a fair-skinned, dark-haired, middle-aged woman wearing a purple skirt and a blue top that showed off her midriff. While Blake's gaze was at first drawn to the bare belly, which was a little on the pudgy side similar to Ember's belly, he gasped when he recognised the woman's face.

"Indigo?"

"Ember, hi! So lovely to see you," Indigo said warmly as she went to hug Ember. When the two women hugged, Blake and Jack felt Indigo's belly press against them. They also heard it growl so loud that it drowned out the noises from Ember's belly. "Shall we get this started then? I'm starving!"

"Absolutely!" Ember replied enthusiastically before following Indigo inside. The two of them entered the house's dining room where two more women roughly Indigo's age were waiting. One of them had a build similar to hers, but slightly lighter skin and brown hair. Plus, while her style of outfit was the same as Indigo's, including revealing a slightly chubby belly, the colour scheme was exclusively green. The other woman, who had pale skin and dark hair, was much more heavyset than the others. Her orange tank top would have probably covered at least most of her large belly if she hadn't chosen to pull it up and let her belly hang out. Despite the presence of all the other women, she was also wearing a pair of grey sweatpants.

"Alright, Ember's here!" the plump woman cheered. "Mmm, can't wait to gobble up some cute little guys!" There was no doubt in Blake's mind that this woman looked like Citrine and had her voice, but this wasn't the shy, reclusive nerd he knew from his own universe. Was this simply a case of people in parallel universes being different, or would the Citrine in his home world start behaving like this if she ever got the chance to eat a shrunken man? He wasn't sure if he wanted the answer to that question.

"God, you're always so eager," Indigo said playfully to her chubby companion before kissing her on the cheek. "What about you, Aria? Ready for your first ever feed?"

"Well, technically, I have eaten Blake and Jack once before," Aria pointed out timidly, her soft voice confirming Blake's hunch about her identity. Yet the Aria that Blake knew was the kindest, sweetest girl he had ever met. She would never eat a tiny person! Right?

"Oh come on, mom, that doesn't count!" Ember rebutted. "You only ate them because you didn't see them on that blueberry muffin. And then you came to me in a panic and practically begged me to get them out of your belly." Blake breathed a sigh of relief - at least it was an accident and Aria tried to rectify the problem as quickly as possible. That sounded more like the girl he had a crush on, even if this woman wasn't exactly the same person.

"I didn't even wanna get out," Jack muttered. "That soon," he hastily added just in case anyone heard him over the gurgles of his sister's belly and got the wrong idea.

"Yeah, this is gonna be your first proper feed," Citrine said. "Trust me, you're gonna love it!"

Ember reached into her purse and pulled out the plastic container with all the miniature men inside. She removed the lid and lowered the container towards an empty dinner plate at the center of the dining table. Then she slowly poured the tiny men out onto the plate, making sure they were spread out. Once she was done, it looked like the plate had somewhere between 20 and 30 shrunken men on it, all slowly rising to their feet. Blake couldn't believe that there were that many guys who wanted to be shrunk and eaten by giant women! Aria looked like she was having second thoughts about whether or not she could go through with this. Indigo and Citrine, on the other hand, definitely weren't; the former was biting her lip, the latter was licking her lips ravenously, and both were rubbing their bellies in anticipation of the tasty treats they were about to eat.

After everything he had seen up to this point, Blake expected a full-blown feeding frenzy to commence immediately. Before anyone started eating anyone, however, Ember went over a few ground rules. Indigo and Citrine, whose bellies were rumbling impatiently, knew these rules already so this was mainly for Aria's benefit. As Ember continued to speak, the tiny men on the plate looked around at the four giantesses and thought about whose belly they wanted to become part of. A lot of them were drawn to the hungry rumbles coming from Indigo and Citrine's bellies and slowly stepped towards the edges of the plate closest to those two, hoping to be chosen by them.

Meanwhile, Blake listened attentively to Ember to get a better understanding of what was going on. The belly-bound mage was surprised at just how much thought had been put into ensuring that this kind of activity was fun for both the ladies doing the eating and the gentlemen getting eaten. Even if he still wasn't entirely convinced that being eaten was fun.

"And now, without further ado, let the feed begin!" Ember announced.

Indigo and Citrine easily spotted the tiny men who seemed interested in them and quickly gathered up half a dozen each. The giant ladies placed their snacks on the table just in front of themselves. Then Indigo started rubbing, patting, and jiggling her belly to make it seem more alluring to her chosen morsels. Judging by how flustered they all got, it was clearly working. "Now which one of you should I eat first?" she asked in a tantalising tone as she bent down so that her head was only an inch above the table. She licked her lips slowly and seductively. Then she opened her mouth wide and brought it down on one of the tiny men before her, snapping him up and engulfing him. She brought her head back up so that the others could see her swishing and rolling her first snack inside her mouth. She smiled and hummed as she enjoyed his taste before tilting her head back and swallowing. Then she repeated the whole process with each of the other guys in front of her until all of them were inside her stomach, ready to be digested and added to her belly.

Like Indigo, Citrine rubbed, patted, and jiggled her belly to enthrall the six shrunken men she had picked out as her snacks. A deep rumble came from her belly and the tiny men in front of her eagerly watched it vibrate. "Alright, party in my belly, boys! Who wants in?" Citrine asked playfully before scooping up all of her tasty treats. Their hearts raced as the hand they were on rose towards the chubby giantess' grinning face. Then, rather than eat them one at a time like Indigo, Citrine threw all six of them into her hungry maw at once. Her jaw moved rhythmically, tossing the tiny men around within her mouth so that she could revel in the mixture of all their flavours at the same time. Everyone could hear her going "Om! Nom! Yum! Yum!" as she ate. Then, once she was done tasting the tiny men, she swallowed them all in one big gulp. They descended into her spacious stomach, which gurgled and rumbled all around them.

The sounds of Citrine eating caught the attention of the other shrunken young men still on the plate. "Oh, you boys wanna join the party in my belly?" Citrine inquired, reaching down towards the plate. Her hand closed around a trio of shrunken men and she brought them over to her belly and pinned them all against its flabby flesh. The noises from Citrine's big, hungry belly were so loud that the teeny tiny voices of her first group of snacks were impossible to hear. Then, after a moment of teasing this group with her chubby belly, Citrine lifted her morsels up to her mouth and devoured them just like last time.

While Indigo was satisfied with the six tiny men that she ate, Citrine kept wanting more. The group of shrunken men on the plate slowly dwindled as the plump giantess grabbed and gobbled more and more of them. They were just so delicious and her belly just wanted them so bad! Blake lost count of how many tiny men ended up inside Citrine's big belly. It became easier to count how many were left on the plate.

"Hey, save some for mom!" Ember said to Citrine as the latter threw a shrunken man up in the air and tried to catch him in her mouth. The distraction from Ember's words messed up the chubby woman's throw and the tiny man landed in her cleavage instead.

"Get out of my boobs and into my belly, you," Citrine muttered as she fished her snack out before he slipped and fell too far. She then unceremoniously popped him into her mouth, making sure she didn't miss this time.

"I bet that one tastes like your boobs now," Indigo remarked with a giggle while Citrine savoured the shrunken man's flavour.

"If he does," Citrine responded after swallowing her morsel, "then my boobs can't taste that bad!" Indigo couldn't help but laugh at that.

However, Ember did have a point. Throughout the feed, Aria witnessed her friends consume so many of these young men her daughter had shrunk. Despite Ember's reassurances that the tiny men wanted to be eaten, the mother struggled to commit to actually eating any of them herself. A few times, she reached for one, only to pull back at the last second.

Soon, though, there were only four shrunken young men left on the plate. They whirled around to face Aria when they heard a loud growl coming from her belly. This was perhaps the mother's last chance to eat any of them before they went into Citrine's big, jiggly belly instead. Aria didn't want to let everyone down by signing up for one of these feeds and then chickening out. But how could she be sure that the tiny men wouldn't rather be swallowed by Citrine? That's who they were staring at before her own belly rumbled after all.

As Aria hesitantly went to pick up one of the remaining tiny men, the other women all saw how conflicted she was. How would they help the sweetest of the giantesses with her dilemma?
