“And what is it that we need?” he asked.
“I need you to tell me what’s going on.”
“Huh? That doesn’t follow at all what we were talking about!”
“So?” She shrugged. “I want to know what happened to you. Why are you so uptight and tense?”
“No reason. I’m just… I’m not in a good mood. I just need some alone time.”
“Alone time?” She eyed him suspiciously. “Alone time with whom?”
“Alone time means alone. No one else,” he assured her.
“Yeah, I’m calling bullshit on that, Gary. You don’t ever want to be alone. All you do is talk.”
“That’s not true,” he protested.
“Yes, it is. Well, I can think of one way to shut you up.” She grinned and puckered her lips.
“Not right now,” he said firmly.
Olivia blinked and backed away. “Seriously? You’re being an ass. You’re running me off why? And do you know me at all? Do you really think I would just go and leave because you’re being mean to me? Get real and get over yourself.”
“I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said.
“I’m not hurt.”
He gave her a look.
“Maybe a little,” she allowed. “I just don’t like to be brushed aside.”
“No, because you like to be in the spotlight. You want to be the leader, the singer.”
“Ah, sure,” she said.
“Nicoletta is the lead guitarist. She’s the fire and the passion.”
“And Elena?”
“She’s the drummer, leading the way with the beat, a song that only she can hear.”
Olivia shook her head. “And you, what are you in all of this craziness?”
“Pianist.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“I always wanted to learn how to play one.”
“That’s nice.” Olivia stepped forward as if to hug him but then reached out and down and grabbed his balls. To torture him? To coerce him? He wasn’t sure, but, fuck, was this distracting. “I don’t want to hear about how we’re some kind of pathetic rock band. I want to know what happened.”
“Fine, you want to know so badly? I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you all of it. Nicoletta and I had sex before. A bit ago. Last night, Elena came to me. I thought it was a dream, but it wasn’t. She really was there and not just as an avatar. As herself. She’s real. I mean really here.” Gary took a deep breath and waited for her reaction.
“Is that all of it?” Olivia asked.
“Ah…”
“You thought it was a dream when Elena came to you. Did you ‘dream’ about having sex with her?”
“Fine, fine,” he muttered. “If you must know, then, yes, Elena and I had sex too. And now, she’s pissed at me and so is Nicoletta, and I doubt they’re happy with each other.”
“Why is that?” Olivia crossed her arms and tilted her head to the side.
“It’s just that Elena walked in on Nicoletta and I…”
“You went from sleeping with one to the other without talking to them yet,” Olivia said disapprovingly.
“No,” he protested weakly. “We were just kissing.”
“You upset Elena. And Nicoletta, does she know you slept with Elena?”
“I don’t know,” he said miserably.
“Ugh.” Olivia rolled her eyes. “Honestly, the other two need to put on their big girl panties. Sometimes, love doesn’t have to be quote unquote normal.”
“Yeah, I know, but I’m not handling this well.”
“You have to start if you want it to work.” Olivia brushed her brown hair back over her shoulders. Her green eyes were bright, but she wasn’t smiling. “Is it love?”
“Yes,” he said without hesitating. “Which is why I don’t understand why it’s so hard.”
“Come on now. If you aren’t honest with yourself, you can’t be honest with the girls, and if you aren’t honest with them, it’ll never happen.”
“It,” he muttered.
Olivia smirked. “‘It’ meaning your harem. That is what you want, isn’t it?”
“Why are you okay with that?” Gary asked. He couldn’t help thinking about to the kiss between Nicoletta and Olivia. Nicoletta had done it to tease him. It had meant more to Olivia. His cock hardened at the memory.
She shrugged. “Honestly, I was involved in a threesome before.”
Gary’s heart sped up, and he grew even harder thinking about Olivia and another girl getting it on. He did not want to think of her having sex with another guy though.
“You and another woman,” he said slowly, grinning.
“Actually, it was me and two guys.”
He blinked a few times. “Oh.”
“Yeah. Don’t worry. It didn’t work out. We tried to, but… honestly, double penetration generally means only one guy moves, and it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Better to use a dildo or a vibrator or fingers or a mouth…” Olivia grinned and then shrugged. “Until you talk to them and explain how you feel so they can figure out their own feelings, I suggest you don’t get involved with any of them.”
“That’s… actually good advice,” he muttered.
Maybe for the first time ever, he saw Olivia frown. “I have good ideas from time to time,” she said, a hint of anger in her tone.
“I’m sorry,” he rushed to say. “I didn’t mean to—”
“I know. I just didn’t expect all of this. I thought we could all celebrate and be happy. I even thought… I knew it would be a long shot, but…”
“What did you want?”
“You know what I wanted. All of us together, finally. Look, at least you have me, always. I understand why you want the others. They’re strong, capable, powerful, hot… They turn me on, too. Not everyone is willing to being open to threesomes, let alone foursomes. And some girls don’t like to share or aren’t willing to admit they’re curious about kissing and touching and being with another woman. They’ll need to warm up to the idea of sharing you and experiencing the others. That is, if it’s gonna be a true harem. Otherwise, I guess it could be more like a polygamous situation in that you’re with each of us separately.” She shrugged. “Not what you want, I take it, and honestly, not what I want either, but maybe that’s how it can start?”
“Maybe,” Gary said, sounding dazed. As much as he wanted them all to be together, he wasn’t sure how it would all work out.
“Until then, no kisses from me.” Olivia smirked. “To think that the only one you haven’t had sex with so far is me. I’m holding out. Not until the others are kosher with us all being together will you get even a kiss from me. Sorry.”
“You aren’t serious, are you?” He gaped at her, “Now, that’s just not fair!”
Olivia, outside, in the middle of the town where other gamers could see, where Gary could definitely see, had pulled down her black leotard to flash him and was proceeding to squeeze and yank on her nipples.
“It’s fair to me,” Olivia said. “I’m not gonna wait around and not have sex or not masturbate because you’re too much of a coward to get what you want.”
“Don’t have sex with anyone else,” he begged.
“Why not?” she demanded. “You’ve slept with both of them but not me.”
“Olivia…” He swallowed hard. “Please. You’ve accepted this even more than I have, but I… just the three of you and me. No one else.”
“So, if I could convince Elena or Nicoletta to…” She grinned and puckered up, blowing him a kiss.
He needed to readjust, but he didn’t since he knew Olivia would make a comment about that. She wasn’t touching herself any longer, but her massive boobs were hanging out for him to see, her hands on her hips, and she was breathing hard. Shit, he wanted to suck her nipples or to fuck them…
“I’ll talk to them the first chance I get,” he said.
Olivia finally pulled up her black leotard, not that her boobs weren’t bulging from the top anyhow, but at le
ast now her nipples were covered. “Not the first chance you get,” she said. “They aren’t ready. Wait until they seem open to it, or else you’ll lose them forever.”
Gary swallowed hard. No matter what happened, he could not lose any of them. Being stuck in the game had only been bearable because of all three of them, and the thought of having only one left him depressed. Yes, he loved Olivia, and she had promised to always be there for him, but he had a feeling she would be just as devastated as he would be if they couldn’t make this work.
“It’ll happen one day,” he informed her.
“It better,” Olivia said, “because I don’t like one-on-one relationships. They aren’t for me.”
“I’ll make it work.”
“Good.” Olivia winked and glanced down at his bulge. “I just hope you don’t die from blue balls before it does.”
He groaned. She had a point because his balls were ready to explode.
“Then don’t tease me,” he complained.
She shrugged and grinned broadly. “But it’s so much fun!”
Chapter Six
As much as Gary wanted to make an excuse to hide away in a room somewhere so he could take care of his, ah, issue, he didn’t. For one thing, Olivia would never let him live that down. For another, he had to do what was best for himself and for the girls as far as the game went. It wasn’t all about their sex lives together. Life and death were still hanging in the balance, especially for him and Elena.
“We have to take care,” Gary said.
She frowned, clearly confused. “Take care?” she repeated. “That sounds… off.”
“Smaug, Samuel August, he’s still out there. We have to be careful. The developers haven’t figured out how to get me out of the game, and now, they have to get Elena out too—"
Olivia winced. It seemed Nicoletta wasn’t the only one miffed that Elena was the one in the game with him.
“They came up with something else to help, at least. They made a new issue of the game called Vampire War.”
“Vampires?” She grinned. “I’ve always enjoyed vampires.”
“Not the hot kind,” he warned.
“Good. I don’t want to bang ‘em. I want to kill them. Ever since I first saw Dracula. Seriously, everyone who romantizes a creature that solely lives by killing others is disturbing if you ask me.”
“Right up your alley, then. To enter the portal to move on, it’s due north. A blue thing. I don’t know how long they’ll have it available, and I want you to come with us.”
“Of course.”
“I just need one favor.”
“And that is?” she asked suspiciously, crossing her arms, which lifted her boobs, making them even. More prominent somehow.
“Ah, uh, I need you to tell Nicoletta to join us, I mean, to go to the new issue. Can you do that?”
“You want me to talk to Nicoletta? I think she might be more on board with… everything… quicker than Elena. Maybe. Maybe I can get her to join us all right.” Olivia grinned. “I’ll think about it because maybe I would be happy if it were just you and me, after all. Clearly, you must be a crazy good lover if you’re making the other two fight over you.”
“I…” Gary honestly was at a loss for words.
Giggling, Olivia stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and swayed her hips, rubbing against him, grinding him. He nearly came right then and there.
“I… I thought…”
Shut up, Gary.
But Olivia was already pulling away. “Yes, yes. I do believe I said no kisses, though, and I didn’t kiss you so…”
With a wicked grin and a wink, she stepped back and then disappeared as she left the game.
Gary’s cock was ready to explode. Desperate for release, he practically ran back to the tavern and bumped into an NPC on his way up to a room. The first one he found, he rushed inside, and he leaned against the closed door so no one could enter. He stripped, grabbed his cock and stroked himself. As he jerked off, he thought of what it would be like to finally have Olivia. To have her and Nicoletta together. To have all three of them pleasuring each other and him and the thought of so many lips and tongues and wandering hands and pussies, and he came so hard that he couldn’t move afterward for a minute.
Cleaning up was fun—not—but he managed. Rubbing himself with the bed sheet to clean up made him hard again as he pictured himself getting entangled in the sheets with any one of them, and he began to stroke himself again. He might not be able to come a second time so quickly, but it sure as hell felt good. Gary closed his eyes, wishing someone else’s hand or mouth was stroking or sucking him.
The door opened, and he paused, grateful his back was to the door.
Footsteps approached, and he tried to cover up, but his clothes were strewn all over the place, and the sheet was wet from where he had cleaned himself, and it didn’t matter anyhow because Nicoletta yanked the sheet away.
She smirked at his erection. Not because he was small. He was eight inches and thick, too. No, she was smirking for a different reason.
“I would suck you,” she said.
His cock twitched, hearing that. He wanted that so fucking badly. He would grab her head, run his fingers through her hair, return the favor by licking her pussy…
“If only I were actually here,” she said, “but I’m so… Sorry, no oral sex for you.”
“Ah, yeah, um, that’s okay. Ah…” Gary dashed about, grabbing his clothes, trying to get dressed quickly.
Nicoletta leaned against the wall of the small room that contained only the bed and a window. He hoped no one was watching from outside. Deep down, he figured the developers were watching him and now Elena everywhere they went, everything they did, but he didn’t care. He wasn’t about to stop living his life the way he wanted to simply because others might be watching. He had too much at stake here, and he was now forced to live a game. He wasn’t going to ignore the sexual part of his life just because of others.
“You could’ve finished,” Nicoletta remarked once he was fully dressed. “That looks painful.”
He squirmed and tried to readjust so it wasn’t quite so agonizing. “I’m fine,” he muttered.
“You were really going at it,” she said.
“Can we talk about something else?” he muttered.
“Why?” She giggled.
“Because it’s embarrassing.”
“To be walked in on while masturbating? Can’t say I’ve ever experienced that.”
“Never been walked in on, huh? Don’t worry. It’ll happen.”
“No, it won’t. I lock the door when I pleasure myself.”
“You masturbate often?”
“Not something you need to know,” she said, cupping his face before gently tapping him, not quite hard enough to be considered a smack.
“I would rather…” He shook his head.
She threw back her head and laughed. “Yeah? Not ready to talk about all of this?”
“I don’t know where to begin or who to begin with and maybe I need to talk to you all together, but there is something we need to discuss.”
Nicoletta drew back, instantly serious. “What is it?” she asked.
He appreciated that she could do that, switch from being playful and flirting to being serious. Olivia tended to not be serious enough at times, and Elena wasn’t as flirtatious as the others.
“The developers haven’t been able to figure out how to get us out, but they have determined a way to keep us safe from Smaug at least.”
“How? Trap him on an island and not let him leave it?”
“I wish,” he said. “Actually, maybe I should mention that to Haru. Anyhow, there’s a new issue of the game. We can go there, and Samuel August won’t be able to follow. We’ll be there, safe and sound. All you have to do is head straight north. There’s a portal and—”
“Gary.”
“Yeah?” he asked, not liking the serious tone or her frown. “What’s wrong?”
“Worry about Smaug and the new issue? You don’t have to worry about supervillains anymore. Instead, we’ll be facing—”
“You’ll be facing,” she murmured. “I need to focus on my future. I can’t keep spending so much time playing this game.”
He winced and hung his head. Gary was so confused, but he didn’t want to upset her.
“I… I know it’s hard for me to keep track of time in here, but isn’t it almost summer?”
“Yeah, it is. The semester is over. I don’t have classes again until the fall, but seriously, Gary?” She sounded so very annoyed, and her eyes were narrowed so much they looked like dark slits. “You think my future only involves the school year. You think I can just drop everything for you. That’s not how the real world works.”
“I never meant to make it seem like I think your life doesn’t matter,” he protested. “I just thought—"
“Your life matters. It does. I’m worried sick about you being trapped in here, in the game. I’m furious as hell at the developers for being willing to put someone else in but still not being able to take you out. It’s wrong. It’s infuriating. It’s ridiculous. At least you’ll have this, though. At least you won’t have to worry about Smaug. You’re a strong enough level now that you should be able to handle almost everything you come across, especially in the beginning of a new issue. It should be relatively easy in the beginning. Just be careful, okay?”
“Is this because of me and Elena?” he asked quietly.
“Maybe it’s about me and what I need to do with my life,” she said coolly. “Like I said, I need to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I’ve been going to college for three years, just taking a bunch of courses, but I’m still undecided. I can’t earn a degree if I don’t figure out what to major in, and most likely, I’ll have to start taking summer courses once I do figure it out.”
“Can we… Do you want to talk about it?”
“Talk about what, Gary? My future is more than my sex life, if that’s what you’re referring to.”
“No. I meant your future. What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t think I should be talking to a garbage collector who managed to get trapped inside a video game.”
