“Why is it you don’t want anyone to know about your good deed?” Daniel questioned. “I don’t understand. I’m grateful you saved Kroanette, and I’ll keep this a secret if it means that much to you, but can you at least tell me-”
“I said no questions,” the woman reminded him with a stricter tone. After a moment she spoke again in a gentler voice. “Please understand I do have my reasons for being secretive like this. Until I know more about you, I would prefer you did not know more about me.”
Daniel lowered his head and fell silent as more and more questions about this mystery person filled his head. After a moment he looked up at the darkness, knowing the mysterious woman was watching him, and gently raised one hand as if to ask a question in school.
“Your name at least?” he implored. “So that at least I know who to give my thanks to.”
There was a long pause as Daniel waited for any answer or to hear if he angered her by persisting with another question.
“Twilight,” the woman spoke calmly to him.
“Twilight,” he repeated with a small smile. “Well, thank you, Twilight. I know not who you are, what you are, or why you came to me, but I do thank you for helping me as you have. I’ll keep your secret, as a show of thanks for all you’ve done. I hope we get to talk more in the future, and perhaps I could ask a few questions then.”
“You’re welcome, Daniel Sorres. Now, time to wake up.”
With that Daniel felt himself drifting off to sleep, or rather slowly waking up from a dream as he suddenly felt his body now lying down rather than standing. His eyes opened showing the lit lanterns above in the caravan while he had a blanket covering his body. Slowly sitting up he took notice of the chatter between the girls suddenly halting as they saw he was awake.
“Daniel,” Specca softly said while sitting in front of him. “Are you feeling alright?”
He slowly looked to his side and saw Kroanette lying on the bed asleep, a large blanket covering most of her body while her legs were sticking out over the edge of the bed. Her drenched and muddied shirt was lying on her blanket while next to her Luna and Falla were watching Daniel curiously and holding towels as they had finished drying off the centaur.
Squeak squeaked from beside him, his eyes turning to the ant girl who was sitting on his other side while watching him with a worried smile. In her hands she was holding his soaked clothing, to which he then looked down and noticed that he was naked under the blanket that had dropped down over his lap.
“Master?” Kitten spoke up, with Daniel quickly looking back to her curiously as the cambion was sitting behind him near the wall while watching him with a nervous smile. “Are you… alright now?”
Daniel took full notice of the half-naked cambion with her wings retracted behind her and tail slowly waving about, staring at her in silence while she lowered her head slightly and kept her glowing eyes on him in worry of what he would say to her, then looked around again and saw the interior of the cabin ruined from the sudden burst of water that appeared earlier. The place was a mess with furniture knocked about and dirtied while the curtain over the entryway was flapping about with the wind and rain still going on outside. He then saw Clover asleep in her bed with the blanket covering her and her clothing set on the nearby couch next to her quiver and bow, the elf sleeping quietly while her hair was undone and resting beneath her back in a wide silky wave.
“Daniel? Are you okay?” Pip asked as she zipped over and clung to his chest. Daniel looked down to the tiny fairy as she had a worried expression on her face then saw Cilia fluttering about behind Specca and watching him curiously.
“How did you appear with all that water?” Cilia asked waving her hands around in awe. “That was so weird, it was like splash! Water everywhere! It didn’t make any sense, how did you and all that water just appear like that? How did you do that?”
Daniel slowly looked around at the room, seeing all the damage to their home, soaking wet furniture and walls, all the girls watching him curiously as he remained silent, and Kroanette sleeping peacefully on the bed next to him. He didn’t show any anger, disgust, or even surprise about anything, which all the girls noticed as he just appeared to be lost in thought about something.
“Daniel, please say something,” Specca implored as she scooted closer to him.
“What’s wrong?” Pip asked as she fluttered off his chest and hovered near him. “Why won’t you talk? Please talk, Daniel.”
“What happened to you, master?” Kitten said as she got closer to him from behind, her glowing eyes going over his body in both curiosity and concern.
“How did you and Kroanette just appear in here like that?” Falla asked as she and her sister set their towels down and moved closer to him.
“Daniel?” Luna wondered as she waved a hand in front of him. He blinked then looked around at all the girls, still remaining silent while showing no further reaction about anything that he was seeing.
“You’re starting to worry us here,” Specca nervously said.
Daniel turned his gaze towards her, staring into her eyes while everything he went through played again in his mind. All the girls watched him with growing concern as he sat there in silence for a long while, just staring at Specca as he obviously thought about something very carefully.
Before the nixie could reach out to feel his forehead in fear he was delirious with a fever Daniel quickly grabbed her and pulled her into a deep kiss. The girls jumped in surprise, though not as much as Specca, as Daniel held the nixie close with his arms around her back and head. Her hands grabbed his arms as she let out a startled gasp before she slowly closed her eyes and let Daniel hold her without any resistance. After the kiss ended, which was longer than most for him, Specca leaned back with a blush on her face and a look of wonder as Daniel’s gaze pierced hers in a very surprising way.
“Daniel…” she breathed out, stunned by his sudden passionate gesture which seemed more powerful to her than before.
Without hesitating Daniel then grabbed Squeak by the shoulders and pulled her over into a kiss, the surprised ant girl staring at him with wide eyes before she too melted in his arms and allowed him to hold her close. The other girls fell speechless as Daniel kissed Squeak for a long period of time, however he didn’t appear to succumb to her saliva as he remained focused and daring while holding the girl close to him. After the kiss finally ended Squeak’s eyes fluttered open and she squeaked quietly a few times, appearing to be stunned by his sudden gesture.
“Daniel?” Specca asked with a small smile forming.
Rather than answering or even giving her a fleeting glance Daniel then reached over and grabbed Luna, pulling her over with a surprised yelp into his arms and lap before leaning down and kissing her deeply. All the girls watched in wonder as Luna was dipped and kissed by Daniel with the same amount of passion he displayed with Specca and Squeak a few moments ago. Luna’s hands timidly rested against his shoulders while her left foot kicked slightly in the air, the girl making no effort to push him away in the slightest as he kissed her with more energy than she had ever felt before. After the long embrace ended Daniel leaned up and gazed down at the blushing butterfly in his lap, the girl blinking a few times with her mind reeling from the experience before smiling bashfully up at him.
“T-Thank you, Daniel,” she managed to get out before seeming to lose her voice.
Falla watched Daniel with stunned silence as he held her sister in his lap, his attention then turning to her causing her to jump slightly at becoming his focus. Before she could say a word he grabbed her by the back of her head and pulled her into a kiss as well, the girl holding onto his chest and closing her eyes while the others wondered what had come over him like this as he had never been this assertive with them before. Falla softly purred in the kiss before it ended, her eyes opening and gazing into his while a deep blush came across her cheeks.
“Daniel… what’s gotten into you?” she softly asked.
Daniel looked ar
ound at the four girls while remaining silent before resting his sights on Pip as she fluttered nearby with a curious expression on her face. Ever so gently he reached out and took the fairy in the palm of his hand, bringing her closer as the other girls watched him with awe. Pip tilted her head while seeming to be speechless then slowly closed her eyes as she saw Daniel bringing her closer to his lips. Very carefully he kissed the tiny fairy, her hands holding onto his cheeks as her wings quickly buzzed behind her a few times in her excitement.
“Master?” Kitten slowly asked.
After he kissed her Pip giggled with a twitch before she dropped back off his hand and plopped down onto Luna’s chest, bouncing a bit on the girl’s bosom before her eyes appeared to come into focus again and stare up at Daniel with a timid smile coming across her face.
“I like kissing you,” she said holding her hands to her cheeks over her blush. “Can we do that again?”
“Can we?” Luna asked eagerly.
“Yes please,” Falla agreed while holding a hand to her lips.
Squeak nodded and squeaked something as she appeared excited about that idea.
“Daniel,” Specca softly spoke while holding a hand to her cheek. “What’s come over you?”
“I’m so glad to be here with all of you,” Daniel finally said. “You have no idea how much each and every one of you means to me.”
“D-Daniel,” Falla stammered while her face turned bright red.
“I’ve never felt more alive than when I have all of you with me.”
“Daniel, we’ve always been with you,” Specca mentioned with a curious smile. “And we always will be. What happened to you? I’ve never felt such a powerful kiss from you before.”
“I told you,” Daniel said looking down and gently brushing Luna’s hair, the butterfly nuzzling closer to his chest while Pip crawled across her bosom and held onto him. “I’m so glad to be here with all of you. I feel like I just woke up, and truly realized how lucky I am to have such beautiful mates in my life. With all of you with me, I feel like I can take on the whole world singlehandedly.”
The girls watched him in stunned silence while smiling brightly, not having a clue as to what had come over him but finding his words to be more powerful and meaningful than ever before. He gently caressed Luna’s head and lightly flicked one of her antennae, the girl giggling while enjoying resting in his lap like this, then looked back to Kitten with a sharp eye as the cambion was smiling slyly at him.
“Do I get a kiss too, master?” she purred with a twitch of her eyebrow.
“What are you doing out again?” he asked sharply, causing her to jump back with a startle while the other girls watched him curiously as he suddenly became more forceful. “Why are you here and not Triska? Answer me.”
“Wait, it’s not what you think,” Kitten implored holding her hands up defensively. “I came out again with her explicit permission. I brought those two fairies and the loudmouthed elf back out of that storm. I did good, I did good!”
Daniel kept a close eye on her then looked down to Pip as the fairy nodded a few times at him.
“Cilia and I were going to be smooshed by the rain before she and Clover came to save us,” she explained. “She’s telling the truth.”
“She and Clover saved you two?” Daniel questioned skeptically.
“Uh huh, uh huh,” Pip agreed as she fluttered up and smiled at Kitten over his shoulder. “She brought us all back here safely, she’s nicer than I thought she was.”
“It’s true,” Cilia added as she flew over and hovered next to her friend. “They actually like us now. We’re all friends!”
“Wait, no, no,” Kitten sternly spoke up shaking her head. “Hold on, I’m not your friend. I only saved you because you’re my master’s property and he would have been sad to lose you. That’s all.”
“Property?” Daniel questioned looking back to the cambion.
“Liar,” Pip giggled while shaking a finger at her. “Clover isn’t Daniel’s property, but you still brought her back instead of leaving her out there. And Cilia isn’t Daniel’s either, but you still saved her too. You like us! You like us!”
“No I don’t!” Kitten shouted out with frustration. “The only one here I want and love is my master!”
“She likes us!” Pip and Cilia cheered as they flew over and started hugging and crawling around on Kitten’s breasts. “She likes us! She likes us!”
“No I don’t! Get off me! Quit it!”
Daniel watched Kitten curiously as the cambion had her hands held up to swat the fairies away yet never did so, rather she continued to shout at them to leave her alone, which they didn’t seem to hear, while shaking her chest around in a vain attempt to throw the two little perverts off her.
“Why did you save them?” he asked, with the girls all stopping and looking to him curiously. “I understand your reasoning of saving Pip, she is my mate after all, but why Cilia and Clover as well?”
Kitten glanced over towards the sleeping elf in the corner then down to the two fairies that were smiling up at her from between her breasts. She hesitated then noticed Triska sitting beside her in her mind, the girl watching her with a curious smirk as she waited to hear the answer as well.
“Had you left Clover out there we honestly wouldn’t have minded too much,” Specca mentioned with a raised eyebrow in question. “Yet you brought her back as well. Why?”
“They insisted she be brought back here,” Kitten snapped while looking down to the two fairies with discontent.
“And why did you honor their request?” Falla asked. “Since when would you care what makes them happy?”
Kitten slowly looked up to Daniel with worried eyes as he waited for her explanation.
“As I said, Pip is my master’s property. And if she’s happy then my master is happy. So if she wanted the stupid elf returned I would make it happen.”
“Not sure I like you referring to Pip as Daniel’s ‘property’,” Specca dryly remarked.
“She is his property, just as you are,” Kitten asserted with a stern glance to her. “As I’ve said before my purpose is to serve my master and please him, however I can. Having all of you makes him happy, so he’s going to have all of you. Do you understand?”
“Are you threatening us?” Falla asked with confusion. “Are you saying we have no choice but to be Daniel’s mates?”
“He wants you in order to be happy, so you’re going to be his,” Kitten declared looking down with closed eyes and a firm expression.
All the girls looked to each other for a moment, then to Daniel, and then to Kitten as she sat there in silence with the two fairies bobbing up and down between her breasts.
“Well, if I have no choice, then so be it,” Falla mused with a smile.
“Yay!” Luna cheered holding Daniel close. “I’m his property! Yay!”
Squeak glanced to Daniel then crossed her arms in content and shrugged with a smile.
“Again, not appreciating the term ‘property’,” Specca commented with a sigh, then smiled a bit and tilted her head slightly. “Still, sounds as though you approve of us being with Daniel, in your own way.”
“I don’t approve,” Kitten grumbled looking away from them. “I’d much rather have my master all to myself than him having a harem like this. But if this is his will and wish, then so be it. It shall be his.”
“He doesn’t like saying he has a harem,” Luna pointed out with a frown. “It sounds dirty to him.”
“No, I do have a harem,” Daniel admitted, with the girls all looking to him curiously as he watched Kitten with a slight smile on his face. “I have many beautiful girls who I love, and who all love me. Though I’m not sure which is more surprising. The fact that I actually have a harem, or that you would defend them for me.”
“Anything you desire, master, and I’ll give it to you,” Kitten promised with hopeful eyes. “Just say the word, and I’ll make you proud. Anything, so that I can have you.”
&n
bsp; Daniel helped Luna sit up from his lap then turned to face Kitten, the girls watching in silence as he moved closer towards the cambion with the blanket still clad around his waist. To his surprise the demon lowered her head and timidly scooted back a bit, seeming to be afraid of him while her wings lowered behind her.
“Thank you,” he gently said. Kitten slowly looked up to him as he rested a hand on her shoulder. “For showing you do have a heart, Kitten.”
“I just want you to be happy with me. To want me, master,” she softly reasoned while holding her hands onto his chest.
Daniel nodded then held Kitten close in a hug, the girl staring over his shoulder with a surprise while the others watched them in wonder.
“Master,” she squeaked out while seeming to freeze in place. “You… you’re hugging me.”
“That is what this is called, yes,” Daniel mused with a smirk.
“I don’t understand,” she whimpered closing her eyes and trembling slightly. “This morning you wanted nothing to do with me, yet now… you’re…”
“I wanted my mate back, Kitten. You took someone special away from me, treated my family so badly, and weren’t too kind to me either. So of course I was angry with you.”
“I’m sorry, I-” Kitten whimpered before Daniel held her close and shook his head.
“You were following your nature. I’ve seen this many times, gone through this many times, I know what happened and why. I know monsters can be cruel if they follow their inner nature blindly, and you were no exception.”
“How can you stand to hug me now then?” Kitten whined as she held her arms around him. “Why did Triska let me live inside her still? Why are you being so nice to me after all the shit I did to you?”
“Because we wanted to believe there was a kindhearted girl inside the demon you are, Kitten,” Daniel answered as he leaned back and smiled gently at the girl. “And it appears we may have been right.”
“I just want you to be happy with me, master.”
“Well I’m not angry with you now,” Daniel pointed out with a shrug.
