- CHAPTER 79 -

After spending an amazing time together with Rebecca, Avery, Michelle, and Natalie, I opted to go ahead and take another shower, wanting to be fresh for when I spent time with Serenity and Gabriella after they got off work, whereas everyone else chose to only wash their faces off, otherwise just getting dressed as they were.

Which kind of made sense, because honestly the only reason why I was even taking a shower was due to the anal sex with both Avery and Natalie, even if my cock was visibly clean. However, if it had been all normal sex, then I might not have showered either.

While I was rinsing off, with the bathroom door wide open, Michelle came in and asked if she could use my toothbrush to brush her teeth, which I said was fine. She then got dressed in normal attire and went downstairs just in time for Avery to finish gathering her discarded cloths and finish dressing as well. The two women then sat on the couch, with Michelle sitting normally on the end, while Avery laid down with her head in the mature blonde’s lap, commenting about how warm she felt inside. And how tired she was starting to feel, after not getting enough sleep the previous night.

Michelle agreed, suggesting she was feeling a little sleepy as well.

In the meantime, Mrs. Rebecca was stuffing the PVC outfits back in her large duffle bag, while having Natalie help clean off the toys she’d used. Specifically, rinsing off the waterproof purple dildo that I’d shoved up her pussy.

However, she wasn’t cleaning off the butt plug tail just yet.

That was actually in her ass again, with it being the first thing that Mrs. Rebecca did when I said I was going to take a shower.

After I’d finished fucking Natalie in the ass, and prior to Natalie cleaning up the dildo, the busty redheaded MILF grabbed those ten silver balls and started shoving them right in, only to instruct her to stay on all fours on the bed for a few minutes.

My busty MILF must have anticipated what my cum in her ass would do to her.

I knew from our bond that Natalie ended up cumming with almost no stimulation, aside from the vibrating dildo, just panting on all fours with the balls in her ass until she was almost whimpering as she got closer and closer, finally crying out.

The busty MILF then slapped her ass and had her clean up the silicone while instructing her to keep the butt plug in.

Mrs. Rebecca then spent a little time talking to the blue-haired vixen, while Michelle and Avery were getting cleaned up and dressed, telling the young woman how much she was looking forward to spending some time with her like she’d done with Avery.

Needless to say, while I knew Natalie really enjoyed dominating Avery sexually, she definitely had a submissive kink too. Especially with mother-figures like my two sexy MILFs.

However, after toying with the blue-haired chick for a few minutes and then having her help pick up the room a little, Mrs. Rebecca finally pulled the silver balls out of Natalie’s ass, had her carefully clean it with soap and warm water, and then place it back in the bag once it had been dried off.

Needless to say, even as I finished up my shower, I was kind of hard again.

After that, the mature busty redhead came into the bathroom, except closing the door this time, wondering if she could also use my toothbrush. I again said that was fine, not really being someone who had a problem with sharing that kind of thing, with me more focused on my relaxing rinse, enjoying the hot water on my skin after such an eventful afternoon.

Shit, just remembering Rebecca thrusting her pussy into Avery’s snatch, and then my two women eating each other out in a sixty-nine while I was in the other room, was all really turning me on. And while the mature redhead had taken off her PVC thigh-high boots, she’d never replaced her attire with anything, still stark naked and looking sexy as hell.

Juicy as hell too, in all the right ways.

Her tan skin was so supple and inviting.

When I got out of the shower and began drying off, I kept my eyes on her toned back and tan juicy ass while she borrowed some floss and began flossing her teeth, her focus on herself in the mirror like she knew exactly what she was doing, by completely ignoring me.

A few seconds later and I was pressing my cock between her perfect thighs, her snatch still slippery, as I reached around to grab handfuls of her huge heavy tits while gently planting tender kisses on her shoulder, her thick heavy red curls hiding her neck.

But Mrs. Rebecca continued to floss, completely ignoring me until she was finished, only to speak up softly to chastise me playfully.

“Well, aren’t you a naughty boy,” she teased. “What would people say if they knew what you were doing to me right now, young man?”

“Probably the same thing they would say if you married any other guy my age, like you would have done, if we hadn’t met.”

She giggled at that. “Well, that wouldn’t have happened for some time. Even after separating from my husband, I probably would have taken my time picking out the right cub to marry. For the ones I was most interested in, I would have given them a good two or three-week trial run, before deciding at least a year later, if not two years later, after I’d tried out a bunch of applicants.” She paused, seeming to want to elaborate. “It’s a long-term commitment, so it’s not just to make sure I’m confident in my decision. It’s to also make sure that they’re confident that it’s what they really want too. I’d prefer to go with my second or third pick, who was a hundred percent sure, rather than my first pick who was only mostly sure.”

For some reason, her disclosure about that didn’t bother me at all, much like it didn’t bother me to hear how Miriam used to live, probably because I was learning how they would have done things, rather than how they were going to do things now that we were together.

She continued. “It would probably be a hard decision, to be honest. But the others, who were runners-up, would likely still end up as long-term boyfriends. Just not the one I married and lived with.”

“And you’re fine with giving that up?” I wondered without thinking.

She made an adorable noise, finally resting her hands on my arms wrapped around her as she turned her head slightly to glance back at me. “Oh baby boy,” she cooed. “What you can give me is so much better. Just think about it, cutie. Sex with a lot of people might sound great to many, but what if that’s all you could have? What if you could never truly have a passionate and intimate relationship with the one person you loved most?” She paused to tighten her arms around mine, squeezing her elbows down in a makeshift hug, before continuing. “Just take Serenity for example. If you could choose between a reality where you only had her, versus a reality where you could only really be intimate with her once a month, but could fuck a ton of other women, which would you really choose?”

I grimaced at that, knowing what I’d choose.

Because deep down, even though I’d spent so much time with everyone else in the last few days, especially all the sex I’d experienced with Miriam, I knew Mrs. Rebecca was right. Serenity was first, and the idea that I couldn’t have regular intimacy with her, especially now that we’d finally crossed that line, was horrible to think about – such a bleak reality, without even one person to share true love with.

Still, I was kind of torn in my response, making me hesitate.

Because it was kind of hard to say out loud that I’d give up Gabriella, Avery, and especially the person I was talking to, if it came down to it. I didn’t even want to think about such a reality.

But at least that really made me understand better where both Mrs. Rebecca and Miriam were coming from.

The prospect of being with me really was the preferred choice.

And that was without even considering how I could make them feel.

They’d probably both still pick this option, even if I was otherwise a normal guy who could only give them a normal amount of pleasure. Because it meant having a real lover, something that was otherwise impossible for them.

Rebecca must have sensed the hesitation though, and misinterpreted it, continuing after a few seconds. “Well, maybe you would choose the latter option, but it wouldn’t take long before it got old. Having true companionship is something most people crave, even non-humans. When I was your age, I was fine with my fate.” She sighed. “But by the time I was twenty-five, I was not fine with it. Obviously, I met my husband, and then got married about a year later, but it was never enough to really fill that need.”

“I get it,” I agreed quietly. “And I wouldn’t pick the second option. It’s just hard to admit I’d pick the first, if I really had to.”

“Oh baby,” she cooed again, finally pulling away a little to twist in my arms.

My cock slipped out from between her legs in the process, but then she was capturing it between her thighs again and sliding her pussy against my shaft. I stood up a little straighter as she wrapped her arms around me, pressing her heavy tits against my chest, with her tilting her chin up slightly to look up at me tenderly.

Her chin then jutted out a little more, her lips coming closer, and I leaned down to share an intimate kiss for a long few seconds, before she pulled back again, our faces close.

“That’s alright, sweetie,” she said warmly. “It’s okay if you’d pick her first. What really matters is you don’t have to choose. We all want you, and we’ll all get you.” She gave me an affectionate smile, focusing on my mouth and nose briefly, before her emerald gaze met mine. “And some of us are older, which we’re taking into account. It’s actually something Michelle and I discussed while we were getting to know each other better. We both still want a piece of you, but we’ve also lived at least somewhat fulfilling lives and have had the time to experience intimacy with others. Whereas Gabby, Avery, and of course Serenity are all younger, and haven’t really had the opportunity to experience a fulfilling relationship.”

A little concerned by what she might be implying, I responded hesitantly. “Well, I do still want you.”

“Of course, baby boy,” she agreed, leaning up to give me another tender kiss. “And I want you as well, very much. But there’s only so much attention you can give in a day, and all I’m saying is that it’s alright if you make Gabby, Serenity, and Avery priorities. And Natalie too, if you want. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to enjoy myself, and I’d still very much like to take you out on a date every once in a while, just the two of us. But if you were to try to make me a priority in your life, then that inevitably would mean that someone else wasn’t as much of a priority. It’s just reality.”

I grimaced at that, knowing she was right.

She continued. “And I hate to use the words of your father, but he’s kind of right about the concubine thing. Even if you consider all of us your women, or even your wives, you can only have so many wives who are ‘truly’ wives to you. The rest of us would have to fill more ancillary roles, and if you tried to give us all equal attention, then ultimately it would just result in all of us being concubines.”

“I don’t want to think of you as a concubine though,” I replied.

She gave me a warm smile. “Well, that’s alright, baby boy. I’d very much like to be your wife, even if it can never be legal. But that doesn’t mean I have to be your biggest priority.” She paused, a small grin touching her full lips. “Maybe you can just think of me as your sexy mother-in-law, who you’re involved with too.”

My eyes widened slightly at that. “Huh, yeah, actually that makes a lot of sense.”

“Yeah? You like that, baby boy?”

I smirked. “I know you’re not surprised. You can sense what others like.”

She giggled at that. “No, of course I knew. But I’m glad that comparison makes more sense to you.”

I hugged her tighter, pulling her heavy tits firmly against me, my cock still throbbing in between her thighs. “It does,” I agreed. “Still my woman, still important to me. But in a role that’s a little different than Gabriella”

“Just a little different,” she said playfully. “Oh, and speaking of Gabby, I think it might be good for you to take her and Serenity out for dinner tonight.”

“Oh?” I said in surprise, liking the idea, but uncertain of why she’d brought it up. “I can do that, but how come?”

She frowned slightly. “Well, I know they are okay with all this. Michelle and I actually chatted a little with them both, separately, on the phone before coming back over. But it’s still a lot in a short period of time. I mean, it was just you and Serenity not even a full week ago. And while I have no doubt it could have very easily transitioned to it just being the three of you, including Gabby, I think that you becoming involved with everyone else has been a little fast for both.”

“Did they seem concerned?” I asked seriously.

Mrs. Rebecca gently shook her head. “No, both seemed genuinely happy about the situation. Gabby especially. But I think it would be a good idea for you to spend time with the two of them in a neutral setting, just to relax and enjoy each other’s company.”

“What do you mean by neutral?” I wondered, my tone simply one of curiosity.

She smirked, sounding almost playful. “A place where you can’t easily have sex,” she clarified, only to quickly continue. “Don’t get me wrong, I have no doubt they both want it, but conversation is more important. Far more important. You can’t have much of a relationship on sex alone, and I think after all the changes that have happened, that spending some time just the three of you would be good for your relationship.”

“Makes sense,” I agreed, leaning to give her another intimate kiss, my hips tensing due to the pleasure emanating in my gut, no doubt an effect she was having on me.

She rolled her gorgeous emerald eyes as if she’d just given in to an unspoken request. “Oh, alright, baby boy,” she mused, moving an arm to wrap around my neck while lifting her leg onto my hip, shifting her pelvis to expertly get my cock at the entrance of her snatch.

Sinking in like butter, her eyes fluttered as she moaned softly.

I held her more firmly as my hips uncontrollably jerked, groaning at the sensation.

“Let’s try to keep it slow and quiet,” she whispered against my neck. “Not necessarily to keep it a secret, but just to enjoy the intimacy. We might not have sex again until tomorrow, so savor it now.”

Oh fuck, I wanted to do so much more than savor it.

Part of me didn’t want to ever stop.

Which…was a trend I was beginning to notice – not the reluctance to stop part – but how I could almost forget about everyone else, no matter who I was with.

Like, in this moment, I never wanted this passionate act of intimacy with Mrs. Rebecca to end.

But if I was with Avery right now instead, or anyone else, I’d feel the same way.

The person I was with was all I could see in that moment.

It was especially the case with Miriam, but I felt that same way when I was enjoying Avery and Natalie together. It was like I could be fully happy if I only had them – a direct confliction with the fact that I couldn’t live without Serenity.

It kind of made me wonder if this desire to be ‘content with what I had’ was a symptom of dying and coming back to life, with me developing a sort of ‘adaptability’ that was partly why I’d gotten over that trauma so quickly. Or if maybe I’d always been like this – someone who could fully enjoy the moment, without feeling like I was missing something, or someone.

In the end, I didn’t think it mattered much, and was very much enjoying every second of this extremely slow, gentle, and intensely passionate sex with Mrs. Rebecca right now, my gorgeous sexy redheaded MILF, who seemed completely overwhelmed with desire as my cock slowly thrust in and out of her mature cunt.

Sensing she was getting close, knowing I was about to pop too, but wanting to make it amazing for her, I gently ran one hand down her back and grabbed her tan juicy ass as I whispered in her ear.

“Best mother-in-law ever,” I mused, holding her ass tightly as I picked up the pace a little.

“Uhhhhhh!” she finally groaned loudly, whimpering softly as her entire body began to tremble in my grasp.

And then I shot my load.

“UHHHHHHH!” she moaned at full volume. “Oh God, it’s so good. Oh please. Oh shit, oh please!”

I tried to keep my senses, as she began passionately kissing me, moaning into my mouth while tightening her leg around my hip, thrusting herself down on my cock urgently as she climbed her peak a second time.

She then broke our kiss, her chin jutting upward as she cried out.

“OH PLEASEEEEEEEE!” she begged, cumming hard, gasping for breath now, her eyes visibly swimming as she did everything in her power to just remain on her feet.

In the end, I practically had to hold her up in my arms while she collected her senses, easily keeping her wrapped around me even when her feet briefly left the floor from her body tensing as her knees buckled slightly.

Knowing I was going to have to show some self-restraint to prevent us fucking nonstop for another hour, I carefully slipped my cock out of her juicy folds, causing some of my cum to drip out onto the floor. Then, once she was supporting her own weight, I gave her one last kiss and gently pulled away, thankful when she reassured me that she’d clean up the mess, allowing me to sneak off to my room to get dressed in jeans and a nice black Polo.

Natalie had gone downstairs prior to me leaving the bathroom, but by the time I was fully dressed, she was slipping into my room, her face visibly flushed – though not one of passion.

Or at least, not one of sexual desire.

I wasn’t surprised when I turned toward her, and she promptly collided into me, burying her face contently against my upper chest as she wrapped her arms tight around my torso.

Her face was flushed because she was happy.

Really really happy.

She felt safe, she felt loved, and she identified me as the source of those feelings.

Undoubtedly, she’d enjoyed the sexual experience we’d all just shared, but it was more than that.

Compared to the last year in hell, she felt like this was heaven.

I could sense it in our bond, even without words.

And her hug was more than a show of appreciation.

There was thankfulness, awe, and submission in our bond, a silent ‘I owe you everything, and will do anything for you, no matter what,’ coursing between us.

In response, I held her tightly, simply accepting.

Because it was what she needed.

We remained like that in silence for a handful of minutes, before Rebecca peeked her head inside my room, quickly gave me an apologetic expression for interrupting, and then ducked back out. However, even without looking, Natalie was well aware due to our bond.

She pulled away to focus up at me affectionately, her light brown eyes full of affection saying it all, before she stepped away to take my hand.

With our fingers intertwined, we made our way downstairs to find everyone having gathered in the living room, Michelle and Avery having been there to begin with, with Mrs. Rebecca standing by the edge of the couch to comment that I’d probably be taking Serenity and Gabriella out for a date when they got off work.

Avery had sat up prior to us walking down the stairs, glancing back at me with a warm smile when I came into sight.

It was kind of strange, because I knew Avery was actually a very confident and outgoing person when dealing with others, but she always just seemed so shy and reserved around me that it was almost bizarre having her look at me like that. Like she wasn’t so shy anymore.

The reservation was gone.

The silent ‘want’ was gone -- that look, like I was still out of her reach -- because now she had what she’d always wanted.

But the look also prompted me to think about tomorrow, on Wednesday, when we’d inevitably have to return to class.

Taking a deep breath, I let go of Natalie’s hand and walked around the couch, deciding to sit down with Avery to snuggle, and talk about how we were going to handle the last few weeks of school. She was already sitting in the middle to begin with, but when I sat down and wrapped my arm around her to pull her against me, Mrs. Rebecca took that as cue to give us some privacy.

“Why don’t we talk in the other room?” she suggested to Michelle, who was more than happy to hop up to do so.

I almost blurted out that it was fine, but then realized them staying in the room would either mean that we were having two separate conversations at the same time, talking over each other, or else they’d have to just sit and listen while we talked.

Sure, it would be manageable, but I realized it would be helpful to have some semblance of privacy to discuss the type of appearance we wanted to maintain at school.

Unsurprisingly, Natalie didn’t want to go far, if it could be avoided, and had no problem letting us talk as if she wasn’t there, so she took Michelle’s place on the couch. Plopping down and getting comfortable, the blue-haired vixen then began looking around the room as if she was really absorbing every detail for the first time. Which made sense, considering my home was still kind of new to her.

Avery’s blue eyes were warm as she focused up on me, a questioning look in her expression as she patiently waited for me to say something.

However, what I wanted to bring up wasn’t the first thing out of my mouth.

“Huh, you still look normal,” I realized.

She grimaced. “Oh, umm, pretty sure most of my body is transformed.”

“Well, that’s okay though,” I reassured her. “It happens to me sometimes too. Just as long as you can keep the visible parts looking normal. Plus, your skin just turns tan, so it wouldn’t be as bad if someone saw.”

She gave me a warm smile. “It’s not too hard, now that I’ve gotten the hang of it.”

I rolled my eyes. “Apparently, everyone’s better at it than I am.”

She smirked. “I mean, you’re not transformed right now either.”

“Not even a little,” Natalie unexpectedly agreed, sensing that I was completely calm in our bond. And also sensing that neither of us minded her interjecting her thoughts, with that strange bond specifically between the three of us feeling as strong as ever.

Now that I thought about it, I realized that same sensation hadn’t translated into me feeling more uniquely connected to Michelle or Mrs. Rebecca, even despite the amazing sexual intimacy we’d all shared together. And I had no idea why that might be.

Because it wasn’t like the intimacy was lacking, but there was definitely something…real and present, about the sensation I felt with specifically Avery and Natalie.

Something more than just intimacy.

Avery continued. “I think the sex helped a lot. Even just this morning, and I would have shifted immediately just from your touch.”

I nodded as I considered that. “Yeah, that’s how it was for me with Gabriella,” I agreed. “So then, if that’s the case, how do you want to handle tomorrow?” I wondered, segueing right into what I wanted to discuss. “And the rest of the school year, for that matter. Should we try acting like normal?”

She grimaced at that. “W-Well…I mean, I don’t want to cause you problems.”

I gave her a gentle squeeze. “You’re not a problem,” I said quietly.

She frowned. “Well, and I also don’t want you to think that I want to show you off, or something. I don’t care if no one ever knows about us. But I’m concerned about rumors spreading if we don’t act a hundred percent like normal. Like, if we even just start talking to each other more, then I’m sure someone will make a big deal about it.”

I sighed. “Yeah. Part of me feels bad, since it’s my fault that’s the case. They’d notice the change in my behavior since I’ve been so cold toward everyone. But I know I probably wouldn’t have done anything differently if given a second chance. I was just trying to get through high school without anyone finding out my secret.”

“Well, I wouldn’t say you’re cold to anyone,” Avery disagreed. “Just not really social, is all. But yes, you’re right. Probably everyone would notice if you started being friendly with me, especially since I’ve not exactly hidden how I feel about you.”

I knew what she meant by that.

Certainly, Avery didn’t go around telling people how she felt, but it was pretty obvious by how she acted around me. By the very fact that she sat with me at lunch every day, even though I didn’t talk to her. By the fact that she’d still choose to sit with me, even if all her friends were at a different table. In particular, I knew of one girl, Claire, who pretended like she was Avery’s friend, but often spoke poorly about her behind her back…

Largely because she had a thing for me too.

Just recalling all the times I’d heard the pompous blonde call Avery ‘pathetic’ behind her back, kind of made me want to shove it in the chick’s face, by not even trying to hide our new relationship. But I knew that might not be the wisest choice.

Or did it really matter?

Part of me wanted to just say ‘fuck it’ and not hold anything back.

Sure, there’d be rumors, but did it really even matter at this point?

If anything, everyone would probably get over it a ton faster by us being open about it. Instead of them whispering for weeks, they might talk openly about it for just a few days, before it would be old news to them, and they’d move on to something else.

Of course, it would be a lot of attention for a few days, but after that I’d probably just get ignored again.

When I didn’t respond, Avery continued.

“So…what do you want to do, Kai?”

I sighed. “Honestly? Kind of just want to drive you to school, wrap my arm around you, and claim what’s mine.” I smirked. “You’re not the only one who might want to show off a little.”

Avery’s face immediately flushed, her skin shifting completely tan, her lips and eyelids frosted, her blonde hair turning stark white. The last thing to turn was her eyes, shifting pitch-black and icy blue.

All because of my words.

Natalie had a grin on her face. “That was satisfying to watch,” she mused, having witnessed it from the corner of her eye.

“Too much?” I asked Avery.

“N-Nope,” she squeaked, burying her head against my chest, her soft warm body conforming into mine. “It would just be my dream come true.” She took a shaky breath, her icy eyes hidden. “But what would we say? What do we tell them when they ask?”

I shrugged. “Probably best to just stick as close to the truth as possible. Probably mention the car accident, and that you were really shaken up. Maybe mention your mom was in the hospital, but she’s okay now. And then we could just say that Serenity and I saw it happen, and we offered to help out while you two recovered.”

“But I don’t have any cuts or anything. Do you think they’ll buy it?”

“Just say you had a concussion. It’s not really far from the truth, and would be a valid excuse to need time off to ensure you were better. Not like anyone is going to call up the doctor, and even if they did, I don’t think they could ask for private medical information like that.”

Natalie shook her head. “No, they can’t do that. It’s a solid story. And the sympathy you’ll get might tone down them pestering you so much about the relationship. It should make them feel bad about asking too many details.”

I nodded, focused on Avery as she slowly lifted her head to look up at me.

Her coloring was returning to normal.

She then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them to respond, looking completely normal now. “Okay, I think that could work.”

I couldn’t help but smile. “Girlfriend?” I said warmly.

She pouted, her tone playful. “Well, I hope I’m at least that much.”

I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, well we can’t exactly announce that you’re my wife.”

Avery’s entire body immediately shifted a second time, her hair platinum-blonde again, her skin tan, her eyes black and icy blue. But it wasn’t from embarrassment.

That ‘want’ had reappeared.

And with it, an almost overwhelming desperation.

One that wasn’t only sensed by me.

In response, Natalie abruptly turned to grab Avery’s arm, even as she leaned into her and thus into me, sandwiching the suddenly emotional blonde between us on only two cushions.

Her light brown eyes were a sort of intense tenderness, as she spoke reassuringly. “Yeah, Aves. We’re both his wives. Forever.”

Avery’s icy blue eyes were filling with tears as she immediately pulled her arm back a little to slip it between them and then wrapped it around Natalie’s thin waist, pulling her almost on top of us, as our hug suddenly became much more intimate.

But the desperation only kept increasing.

It was potent.

Intense.

Rising and rising.

It suddenly felt like I had a lump in my throat, and I felt like I was struggling to breathe, my vision starting to grow blurry. Without thinking, I reached out for Natalie too and wrapped my arm underneath Avery’s, pulling her more firmly against us, only to lean down and plant a heavy kiss on my classmate’s frosted lips.

Avery’s face was hot, and the sensation doubled when Natalie pressed her forehead against our temples, her heated breath caressing our cheeks.

Without thinking, we both turned our heads in sync and kissed Natalie on the corners of her mouth, prompting her to press her face more into me as she kissed me passionately, before turning her head slightly, to thrust her tongue in Avery’s mouth.

Neither of them moaned, the gesture instead being desperate.

Not sexual, and full of pleasure, but more of a need, full of desperation.

And it was still growing, the room around us vanishing, rising and rising, an intense pressure increasing and increasing…

Until Avery and Natalie finally separated their lips and they turned to kiss me, all three of us touching our lips at the same time.

Instantly, the need burst into an almost agonizing yearning that felt like it was squeezing me to death, like I’d never be able to breathe again, only for it to abruptly transform into something else entirely.

Like a dam holding too much pressure, the floodgates unexpectedly opened, and the intense pressure vanished altogether. More than that, the pressure became a powerful current that thrust me forward, even as my body remained stationary, feeling like I was falling.

Falling toward the two women in my arms, like they were gravity, the sensation extremely disorienting.

Because they were falling too.

We were all falling, toward each other, faster and faster.

Too fast.

It felt way too fast, and yet I was trying to go even faster. To desperately reach them.

And then we collided.

The world around us completely vanished.

I was lost as we became one, even as I unexpectedly felt like I’d been found, for the first time ever, in my entire life.

I’d been found.

Without realizing it, I’d been lost all this time, and they both found me.

We were one.

For an eternity, we were one.

For an eternity…it was just the three of us…

Minutes turned into hours.

Hours turned into days.

Days turned into weeks.

Weeks into months.

Months into years.

Years into decades.

Decades…into centuries.

Forever.

Until someone called my name in a panic.

I unexpectedly sucked in a ragged breath, feeling dizzy when I realized that there was an urgent voice close by, my head lying next to Avery’s on the back of the couch, registering for the first time that it wasn’t in the position I’d last remembered it. Natalie’s face was against Avery’s neck, underneath the blonde’s chin, both of them just as limp as I’d been a second ago.

I felt like someone had just asked ‘What just happened?!’

A young voice.

A familiar one.

One that made me feel really warm inside, sudden memories of our time together at her mansion flooding my mind.

“I don’t know,” Mrs. Rebecca was saying in a rush, almost sounding panicked. “I heard them kiss, and then it’s like they all just passed out.”

“Avery!” Michelle said for what felt like the second or third time. “Avery, wake up! Kai, please wake up!”

It took me a second to realize that she was standing over us. Her hand was on my shoulder.

“Gwen and I are coming right now,” Miriam said urgently on the phone. “I don’t know what they did, but I really felt that. And Gwen didn’t feel anything at all.”

I groaned then, trying to focus on the physical sensations all around me. Trying to stop feeling disoriented. And, as if in response to my groan, both Avery and Natalie began moving too.

“I think we’re fine,” I finally whispered, trying to lift my head and open my eyes fully.

“Oh, he’s waking up,” Mrs. Rebecca quickly commented.

“Please put him on,” Miriam instructed.

I finally looked up at Michelle’s concerned gaze when I felt something rest against my face, only to shift my focus to Mrs. Rebecca when I realized she was holding her phone up to my ear.

She spoke when I gave her my attention.

“Kai, it’s my mom. She called because she felt like something was going on with you. Are you okay?”

“Kai,” Miriam said without missing a beat into my ear, sounding even more concerned than the two mature women visibly looked.

Avery and Natalie were both opening their eyes now, looking confused by all the attention.

I reached up to hold up the phone, prompting Mrs. Rebecca to slip her hand away as I cleared my throat. “Umm, I think we’re okay. I don’t know what we did, but…”

My eyes immediately widened as I sensed something from Natalie.

‘Feels a lot stronger than before…’

It wasn’t a thought.

I heard nothing in my head.

And yet, I had a distinct impression of what she was thinking, with her eyes widening as she realized why I was reacting to something she hadn’t said out loud, only for us to both focus on Avery when we felt her alarm at the fact that she was experiencing a nonverbal, almost emotional, understanding transpiring between the two of us.

Or rather, between the three of us.

Natalie then prompted a mutual understanding to begin formulating within us, with me complimenting her initial idea.

With my original bond with Natalie, it was almost like she was my finger or hand, which was why it had initially been hard to let go of my control of her. To allow her to have autonomy, by taking off the proverbial ring on my finger and putting it in my pocket, except it was more like chopping off my hand so it could do what it wanted.

But similarly, like my own hand, I’d been able to sense a lot of things coming from her.

I knew when she had a need.

I knew when she was hungry, horny, sleepy, or even when she had to use the bathroom.

And I had a pretty strong idea of her general emotional state.

I knew what she wanted without asking.

But this…

Now it almost felt like we were sharing one body.

There was still a general sensation that I was Natalie’s alpha…as well as Avery’s alpha…but no longer was the bond so distant as the two of them being irremovable body parts. Instead, rather them being only a hand, it was like we shared the same body, at least in terms of the invisible bond that linked us.

“Kai,” Miriam repeated for the third time. “But what? Hey, please talk to me. This is really stressing me out.”

I tried to collect my thoughts and focus on her, even as a general awareness of Natalie and Avery’s reactions continued to pull at my attention. “I think my bond with Natalie and Avery just got a lot stronger,” I finally admitted. “I don’t know what we did, but the original bond I had with Natalie is stronger, and…well, a little different. And it feels like Avery is a part of it now too.”

The phone was silent.

“Miriam?” I finally said in confusion, feeling like her silence wasn’t a good thing.

“K-Kai, whatever you just did. I felt it too.” She paused. “Only me,” she added. “Not Gwen.”

My eyes widened at that. “What does that mean?”

“I…I can only think of one thing it could be, but it…” She took a deep breath. “Well, it shouldn’t be possible, although I’m starting to realize that normal impossibilities don’t seem to apply to you.”

“What is it?” I asked seriously.

“It’s not a subject we should discuss on the phone,” she admitted. “And no, it’s nothing bad. If it’s what I’m thinking, then it would normally be a good thing.” She sighed then. “Can you visit me tonight? And bring Avery and Natalie too? Gwen and I are already in the car, and I was prepared to go there if you weren’t waking up, but if you think you’re okay, then it would be better for you to come to me.” She paused. “Not really big on being that far away from home. Thirty minutes away is alright, but anything more than that makes me uneasy.”

I took a deep breath. “Yeah, I think that’s okay. Is this important enough we should leave now?”

She hesitated. “Well, how do you feel right now? If you’re okay, then it can wait until later this evening.”

I sighed heavily, focusing on Avery and Natalie to get their silent confirmations.

We were definitely okay.

More than okay.

“We feel fine,” I replied. “So I guess we’ll see you later this evening. Is eight or nine too late?”

“No, any time is fine,” she reassured me.

I frowned. “Although, we probably can’t stay too late. I should really go to class tomorrow.”

“Right,” she agreed. “And I understand. We’ll talk more when you get here.” She paused. “I love you, Kai. So much. Please be safe.”

“Love you too,” I said sincerely. “Bye for now.”

“Bye.”

Once she hung up, I focused up at Michelle and Mrs. Rebecca. It was obvious from their expressions that they both were fully aware of the entire conversation, having no problem hearing Miriam’s voice on the phone thanks to their ever-improving hearing.

However, I felt torn now, about what to do, causing me to be surprised when Natalie spoke up.

“Sounds like you have a lot of plans this evening now, so how about this? Avery and her mom are really tired, so I think they should stay here and get some sleep while you’re on your date with Serenity and Gabriella. And then, once you return, we’ll all go visit Miriam so she can help us figure out what just happened. Sound good?”

I just held her gaze for a long few seconds, feeling both a little stunned and full of appreciation at what she was doing right now. As simple as it was, to propose the most obvious of plans based on the conversations we’d just had, it was the act of her taking charge of the situation that was so meaningful.

Because it implied her position beneath me and her desire to ease my potential distress from an unexpected situation.

In her perception, she was filling the role of being my first wife, so long as I’d allow it, and would do everything in her power to make every aspect of my life as easy as possible. Essentially, ‘run my household’ as the head woman, though it had nothing to do with actual rank or her having a perception of being above the others. It was more about her submissiveness and desire to serve me in every capacity she could manage.

In this moment, she was my first wife, not only because of our bond, but because there was no one more submissive to my needs.

She was figuratively lying at my feet, confidently ready to serve me in any way possible.

Making her first.

And highest.

“Yeah Natalie,” I replied warmly, the feelings coursing through our bond being so powerful that words would never do it justice. “Sounds good,” I added simply, my tone full of intense appreciation. “And I love you.”

“There is nothing I won’t do for you,” she replied sincerely, as an attempt to put those feelings into words.

The sudden intensity of her voice alone went a long way toward accomplishing that goal.

There was no stronger way for her to communicate how much she loved me.

But it was more than enough, due to this powerful new bond we’d formed.

One in which Avery was now included in.

Forever.

FEEDBACK: Thoughts on this chapter?

Obviously an explanation will come in a future chapter. I'm wanting to get to Kai and Avery's first day back really soon, so we should be getting to that in the next 1-3 chapters. Need to do the date with Serenity and Gabriella, and then a quick visit to Miriam's mansion (might be able to fit that in one chapter), followed by them going back to school.

Feel free to let me know if you want to see certain things soon.
