He pulled her up onto the bed and laid her back down. They met at their mouths as their tongues swirled together. They met at their chests and he felt her amazing breasts pressed up against him. They met in their centers as she spread her legs to welcome him. His cock slid into her and she moaned as even if it wasn’t a fusion their two bodies became one.
The next couple of hours were a jumble. Sometimes he was on top. Sometimes she was on top. It never really mattered. They both gave their all physically and emotionally and were lost in one another. Jay couldn’t have kept track of the number of times he exploded into her but they kept going till he felt he had to drink more to avoid dehydration.
Even after that they continued till she collapsed completely exhausted. Jay remembered he needed to be careful. She had neither his Durability nor Metabolism and the latter was boosted even as a shared attribute with Mia.
Unbeknownst to Jay though, Mia was at that very moment shuddering from yet another uncontrollable orgasm and she wasn’t alone. The other six girls in her cabin were also all panting and gasping on the floor, each of them in various stages of undress. Some with their fingers inside themselves but that wasn’t really necessary. They were all completely taken by the effect of the Sensual Projection that Mia had borrowed from Jay. There were even pleas saying that they couldn’t take anymore.
The bond allowed her to feel what he was feeling physically. Pain wasn’t very much fun to share, but whatever Amelia was doing to him sure made him feel good and she could share in all of that. Even better since she had borrowed Jay’s skill she was able to project it out and the entire cabin was moaning non-stop with the bliss that Jay felt even though he had no idea.
Chapter 33- A Familiar Face
The next morning, Jay and Amelia overslept. It probably wasn’t surprising, but they slept right up to the awakening and by then it was too late to have a team meeting about it. They were both excited to have gained more levels and determined to spend all day training while they still had the quadruple bonus.
He instructed everyone to stay away from the ruins until the newcomers arrived. That led to a long breakfast for some and to various training groups being set up. Jay moved around from camp working with different groups but kept finding himself drawn back to Amelia. Last night had definitely forged a bond and while he couldn’t feel her as clearly as he could Mia whenever she was around he knew exactly how she felt.
Then Charlotte called out that the time was about to hit zero. Everyone gathered around Jay as he waited near the door. It opened and a stream of girls started to pour out. Jay had assigned the advisors as well as the rest of Team Jay including Mia to act as chaperones and guide the women away from ruins and over by the cabins. The reset had expanded the housing and instead of just the five luxury cabins there were also seven smaller cabins that looked to be more like the single-room bungalows.
Jay watched and nodded at each of the girls as they came through. Many of them looked at him with wanton desire but everyone walked through and allowed themselves to be guided to various sections. It was agreed that even though they didn’t want to waste any of their bonus training time with other things that they still had to at least get lists of names and find out basic information about this group.
He became distracted near the end and had to start answering questions from the newcomers so that he didn’t get to see the last group come through. From what he found out most of them were from clusters where all the guys had died early on and then their clusters had been merged with others and so on. They had all managed to make it to Tier 2, but that was it and only barely for most of them.
Then Jay heard some yelling, and he looked over in the direction of the door. He saw Jessie trying to talk to a group of eight women. Their leader was rather tall and Jay heard Jessie say, “I’m not trying to offend you by calling you Amazon, you are just really tall.”
The woman responded with a voice that sounded strangely familiar, “Well I’m not an Amazon and we expect a little respect. My team was second place in the race. For some reason, apparently you need a dick to lead a cluster, but that doesn’t mean we are just gonna do whatever we are told. I’m the only woman to pass the third threshold, so don’t get in my way.”
Jay could see that Jessie wasn’t taking that very well and knowing her he realized this was going to come to blows very quickly. He rushed over and said, “Whoa, let's not get angry. We are all part of one cluster now.” Then he went slack jawed as the tall, caramel-skinned woman turned towards him. “Trina?”
The woman looked back at him, dumbfounded for a second then said, “Oh my god, is that you, Jay? You look so different. Wow. If I’d known you would turn out like this, I would have snatched you right up back at college.” Then there it was. That smile. The way she looked at him that had always made him weak in the knees.
Jay felt a sense of worry go through him. He had almost forgotten that his ex-crush had been taken at the same time that he had been. Now here she was standing in front of him. She had been hot on Earth, a solid nine. Just like him though this place had been kind to her. She was busting any ranking chart now, and it was hard to tear his eyes away from her.
In that moment he worried about what this would mean and how Amelia and the other girls would take this. What he didn’t see was how that worry translated through the bonds and both Amelia and Mia popped their heads up and looked in his direction trying to figure out what had made Jay feel like that.
Epilogue
Nearly three years into the future-
Reality kept shifting around Jay. Each day that he woke up there were changes. It was frustrating because he was the only one who realized that things hadn’t always been the way they were now. Even his wives, who trusted him with their very lives, had trouble accepting some of the things he said had changed.
Up until now most of the changes that he experienced had been increases in power and more survivors. All of that seemed good, even though none of it had dealt with Jasmine’s iron grip over their group.
This morning was entirely different. When he woke up, they were no longer on the 10th floor of the dungeon. Instead they were on the 24th floor. As shocking as that was it was small potatoes compared to the other changes.
Where he had expected to find Jasmine cuddled up next to him, keeping close to her prize hound, he had instead woken up in an actual bed. It was actually quite huge, and would have put a king-size bed from back on Earth to shame. How they got that into the dungeon was beyond him.
He wasn’t alone in the bed, but instead there had been six women with him. Somehow he knew them all as his wives and knew how very precious they were to him. Each of them had a ring upon their fingers that he remembered giving to them, even if those memories felt like they belonged to someone else.
Even more shocking was the pair of cradles next to the bed and the swelling belly of one of the women. In his original timeline all the children had been slaughtered. It brought pride to him to think that perhaps his messages to the past had saved the human race.
Looking around her realized how massive this circular room was. There were alcoves and beds filling those alcoves covered most of the wall. At least half of the alcoves had a cradle in front of it. His Life Sense let him know that there were 27 women and 12 infants sleeping in the room. His head was definitely spinning trying to take in all the changes that had resulted in this future.
When he managed to make it out amidst the legs and arms entwined with his, he pulled his pants up and put on a shirt quickly, before walking outside. There were two dozen structures all similar to the house that he was staying in. Even a wall had been built up around the settlement and guards patrolled the streets.
Jay knew one thing for certain, some big things had happened and he was going to need to sort them out. He could feel that the timeline was still in flux. He was going to need to sit down and sort through his memories to figure out what was going on.
The strangest thing that he saw was
a small red-skinned alien in a floating chair, or hoverpod he realized was the proper name for the device. Seeing it drove home more of the new memories. The creature was an A’snkarnt. They were the race of aliens that had taken him and all the test subjects from Earth.
Yet for some reason this creature was here in their camp without any guards around it. It even seemed to be teaching some small humans. They looked like children of six or seven, but he instinctively knew that they were actually much younger than that and from what he could tell they quite adored their alien teacher. Truly there was much for him to try to remember.
______________________________________________
Meanwhile back in the present of this changing timeline.
The drone was 95% mechanical. Its only organic components were hidden deep inside of it to protect them from exposure to the vacuum of space. It had no name, drones never did. Merely a designation which in this case was DSRP-100345 or Deep Space Recovery Pod.
It was all that remained of the cruiser that had located the human world and engaged the leviathan. It was not for it to question why such a course of action had been taken. No, it was the last-ditch effort to get information back to the overminds.
If it had been deployed, then that meant the enemy had been successful in jamming all of their subspace communications. DSRP-100345 was left to float amongst the debris of the former cruiser. It was meant to appear as nothing more than inert junk. Yet, when the enemy ceased scanning the area, it would become active and relay vital mission information back home.
For now though, all it could do was float in orbit above the burning world. That was fine though. The Forlorn were patient.
