I heard her bedroom door slam shut a moment later, while I just stared at the wall where she had just been.
Shit, it had really happened. Or, I suppose more accurately, it had really almost happened. Just like that, in a matter of seconds, I could have been screwing Heidi, and no one would have been the wiser. After having quick passionate sex, she probably would have gone back to her room while I cooled off in the bathroom, and within five minutes I would have been leaving the house probably feeling both ridiculously satisfied and simultaneously as guilty as hell.
I figured cheating was usually something that was more intentional, not a hot passionate quickie that came out of nowhere and was over before a full minute had even passed.
And yet, I knew it would have happened that easily, not only because of the dream, but because the desire was there again in the pit of my stomach. Which was strange to me, because I wasn’t actually horny at the moment, being too shocked by what had just occurred. And yet, I couldn’t deny that there was a strong urge to chase Heidi down and screw her in her bed.
Which I was definitely not about to do.
Thus, instead, I made my way downstairs to discover that Rose had already set up the game, her eyes sparkling with excitement in anticipation of playing it.
She grinned at me when I walked into the kitchen. “This looks like fun!”
I smiled weakly back at her. “I’m sure it will be, sweetie. Heidi should be down in a few minutes.”
She nodded absentmindedly, examining the cute pictures on the gameboard.
After giving her a quick hug, I went ahead and headed outside to my car, only to sit in the paved driveway for a moment.
Catching a glimpse of Heidi in my second-sight, laying on her bed in her room still, I pulled out my phone with a heavy sigh to type her a message.
I had no idea what I was going to say, but I felt like I had to say something. I couldn’t just leave it like this.
Maybe if I shared some of the blame?
I mean, she totally jumped me, but I knew for a fact I had reciprocated it in at least one version of reality.
“Hey, I’m really sorry about that. I shouldn’t have invaded your personal space like I did. I guess I got carried away when I saw you in those piercings. They look really good on you. Anyway, Rose is really excited about the game downstairs. I hope you guys have fun.”
I sent the message, and waited for a response, uncertain if I was going to get one.
When I did, it was short and to the point.
“Ok”
Ugh, I hated messages like that.
“Are we ok? You’re not mad at me, are you?”
This time the message came a lot faster.
“No, of course not. I could never be mad at you.”
Wow, not what I was expecting, especially since I was fairly certain I had made her angry at least once, not to mention she had been pretty short with me when she was healing her sister.
“Thanks, and I’m sorry again,” I responded.
“No, I’m sorry. And I’ll take good care of Rose.”
I was about to mention that I appreciated it, and say that she was like a second-mom to Rose, only to stop myself. Because, not only could she take that the wrong way, but also Heidi was only twelve years older than Rose, which meant she was too young to be considered a ‘second-mother.’ Not to mention, I was pretty sure Heidi wanted to be Rose’s friend, not a parental figure. Same with Rose. Afterall, Rose didn’t refer to Heidi as an aunt, but instead a friend. Her best friend.
“I know you will. Thanks for being her friend.”
I peeked into the house again with my second-sight to catch her expression this time, seeing that while she had tears in her eyes, she was also smiling warmly. She started typing a message, only to seem indecisive a handful of times. I wasn’t sure if she was writing a really lengthy response, or typing something out only to erase it and try again.
I realized it was the latter when I finally got her message.
“Of course. Drive safe.”
Satisfied that our friendship, or whatever this was called, was going to be alright, I pulled out of the driveway to head home. I was debating whether or not I should call Freya to tell her what happened, only for my phone to ring on my car’s speaker system.
It was Lexi.
I answered it in surprise, her voice filling the cab.
“Sam?”
“Hey Lexi, I was just dropping Rose off at your place. What’s up?”
“Oh dammit,” she said under her breath, before speaking louder. “I didn’t realize it would be you bringing her over, so I messaged Freya to see if she wanted me to pick up Rose. I’m at your place right now. I ended up calling her when it looked like no one was home, and she said to give you a call to see how far you had gotten.”
“Oh, sorry to make you waste your time.”
“No, it’s my fault. And really, that wasn’t the main reason I stopped by anyway.”
“Oh?” I said in surprise. “Something wrong?”
She sighed heavily. “Well, no, not exactly. I just need to talk to you, actually. So I guess I’ll see you when you get here.”
“Talk about wh–”
She hung up.
Well damn, Lexi.
She really wasn’t playing around. I couldn’t imagine what she needed to talk to me about though. Normally, I would assume it had something to do with either her sister or Lily, but she just seemed so serious.
Whatever it was, I wasn’t about to be in my house alone with her without Lily and Freya knowing – and them both being alright with it. After what had just happened between me and Heidi, now I was extra paranoid about cheating. Even though I had seen the incident with Heidi happen in advance, I still couldn’t believe something like that was possible in real life.
Having sex in under a minute and being done before anyone even noticed?
And what was worse, is I kind of still wanted to just turn around and find some way to get Heidi alone again…
And I wasn’t even horny right now!
What in the hell was wrong with me?
Why did I want to screw her so desperately?
I had been doing just fine prior to that dream. Was it because the orgasm was so amazing? Like, it was literally the best I had ever had, and it had only been a dream! I couldn’t even imagine what the real thing would be like, though I knew that was the wrong train of thought to be having right now.
I didn’t understand what this craving in my lower gut was, but I knew I needed to get my mind off Heidi, because thinking of her wasn’t helping at all.
I pulled out my phone to call Freya.
She answered on the second ring.
“Hey baby, everything alright?”
I cleared my throat. “Yeah, I’m on my way back home right now, but apparently Lexi is waiting on me. She wants to talk about something.”
“Yeah, she mentioned that,” Freya agreed. She then paused for a lengthy few seconds. “Did Rose get settled okay at their place?” she wondered cautiously.
I grimaced, knowing what she was really asking. “Yeah, but…” I took a deep breath. “It almost happened, Freya.”
“Sam,” she said in a warning tone.
“Almost,” I emphasized. “I stopped it of course. But something isn’t right about this. I don’t feel right.”
She was silent again for a moment, but it was more than that. It almost sounded like she had muted the phone, possibly to reassure Lily – assuming she was right next to her. A moment later and she was speaking again.
“Well, Lily and I will be heading home soon. We don’t have a problem if you want to invite Lexi inside and talk, but Sam…” She paused again, only to sigh. “Sam, you yourself have had the thought that you’re the luckiest guy in the world. Don’t screw it up.”
“Freya,” I whispered, imagining Lily’s reaction if she was overhearing this. “You’re going to make Lily upset.”
“She didn’t hear me – I
walked away for a moment. But, no Sam, you’re the one who’s going to make Lily upset,” she chastised. “Not me. I mean, we’re literally talking about how you almost cheated on us. Like, supposedly you’re not a cheater, and yes, I’ve seen your thoughts, so I know that’s never been the case before, but you still need to man-up now and control yourself for heaven’s sake!”
I gritted my teeth together, feeling horrible all over again, knowing she was completely right. What in the hell was I even saying? I didn’t feel right? Did I just want an excuse for my selfishness?
“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “It won’t happen again. I mean, nothing happened to begin with, but you know.”
“I know,” she agreed, her tone more gentle. “And I love you. We’ll see you soon – probably in about an hour.”
I wished her goodbye and we both hung up.
The rest of the drive was miserable as her words weighed heavily on my heart. She was completely right. As I had already noted previously, I was weak as shit where it counted, but I did need to man-up and focus on what I had going for me.
I had been alone for so long, and now I had more love in my life than ever before.
And, shit, if the roles were reversed, I’d be pissed. If anything, I should be thankful Freya was being so…forgiving…and understanding, considering the situation.
And here I was coming up with excuses for myself.
Sure it would be nice to just be able to have all four women, Lexi included, but I knew that was just a fantasy. And really, I was already living a fantasy by having two women. So, I needed to be satisfied with what I had already.
Lily and Freya were both more than enough.
12: Powerful Climaxes
Heidi Stockton
January 30, 2735 – Current Day – Late Afternoon
After Sam left, Heidi was initially mortified at what had just happened, only to be shocked when he apologized like it was his fault. She had no idea what came over her, but there was no way in hell it was his fault.
Still, she was glad he wasn’t angry.
But the problem was, now he knew.
She had the ‘hots’ for him, and probably would have jumped his bones in a heartbeat had he not intercepted that kiss. And what was worse, is that the desire hadn’t gone away. Usually being so embarrassed would have made her horniness sober up, but even now she kind of wished he would come back so she could try to get him alone again…
After a minute of lying in bed, she finally decided she needed to take a shower to get her mind off everything. The hot water would help her tense muscles relax while also clearing her thoughts. And she didn’t want to ruin Rose’s stayover by being distracted the whole time thinking about her father.
Deciding on her course of action, she got up and made her way to the edge of the stairs.
“Hey Rose, I’ll be down in a few minutes. I’m going to take a shower.”
“Okay!” she called out cheerfully.
Heidi was a little surprised by how excited she sounded. “What are you doing?” she wondered.
“Looking at the pictures!” she replied with glee.
“Pictures?” Heidi asked in confusion.
“Of the game! On the table.”
Heidi smiled. “I’ll be down in a few minutes, so we can play!”
“Okay!” Rose repeated.
Heidi turned back around and made her way to her room to grab a change of clothes, a warm smile on her face. However, once she closed the bathroom door, her thoughts began to drift again, a strong craving between her thighs.
‘Shower,’ she thought, turning on the water. ‘I just need a really good hot shower.’
Once she got her clothes off, she sighed heavily as she stepped underneath the cascading warmth, being hit from two angles since she had the detachable showerhead on too.
Her desire only grew.
“Dammit, what is wrong with me?” she wondered quietly.
Feeling like the craving wasn’t going to go away on its own, she grabbed the handle to the second showerhead and pulled it off its hook. She then laid down in the spacious tub and held it between her legs, gasping from the surge of pleasure it gave her.
She didn’t do this very often, but usually when she did, it would require at least ten minutes, minimum, for her to get there. Instead, she felt like she was about to orgasm almost immediately.
“Oh Sam,” she moaned, spreading her legs apart more. “Please…”
She sucked in a sharp breath as her body began tensing.
“Oh Sam, yes. Please,” she whispered. “Please,” she begged urgently.
Her head abruptly snapped to the side as she sucked in another sharp breath, her chest arching upwards before her legs began twitching.
“Shit,” she hissed, lowering her chest as she thrust her hips once uncontrollably, doing a brief bridge. All her muscles were tight, her body beginning to tremble as the orgasm continued for longer than usual, the showerhead still stimulating her.
Finally, it released, and she sucked in a deep breath, her body becoming limp as she let the showerhead slide out of her hand.
Two of the best orgasms in her life, and they were both within the same day. This one wasn’t as great as the one she had from her dream the previous night, but it was still amazing. She was euphoric to the point that she almost wanted to just take a nap in the tub.
She laid there feeling like she was drugged for a while, before finally getting to her feet on shaky legs, ready to finish up her shower.
Now that her craving had been satisfied, her thoughts began lingering on the consequences of what might have happened had Sam let her kiss him. For one, Freya would probably be pissed when she found out eventually – and she would find out, one way or another. That alone would be enough to worry about, considering the older woman ultimately decided who got to spend time with Rose, not to mention that Rose herself would probably be devastated that Heidi had ruined her family.
But also, what if something crazy happened, like they went ‘all the way’ and she got pregnant?
Heidi hadn’t had a period in years, because of her regularly using her power, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t still happen. After all, she wasn’t on birth control or anything. And in fact, one of her friends got pregnant when she was seventeen, thinking that since she did so much running – and didn’t have a period due to all the physical exercise – that it wouldn’t be possible.
Heidi didn’t feel like she was ready to have a kid of her own, especially since she basically hadn’t even lived life since she was seventeen. Granted, she knew that if it happened, she would keep the baby for sure, and she would step-up to the challenge of raising it.
But she definitely wasn’t ready to have a kid with a guy who had two women who might kill her in a heartbeat for screwing around with their man.
How could she be so stupid?
In the heat of the moment, it was like she couldn’t control herself. She wanted him so bad. She wanted him inside her so bad. She had no idea what that would feel like, but she felt like she could imagine it.
Feeling like her head was finally on straight, she dried off and got dressed, ready to spend the rest of the evening with her sunshine.
By the time she made it downstairs, Sam was already long forgotten.

Sam Archer
January 30, 2735 – Current Day – Late Afternoon
When I got home, I found Lexi waiting in her Ferrari, since it was so cold out. I waived her inside when I got out of my Mustang, and she met me at the door just as I opened it up. Lexi actually had a key to Lily’s house, which was almost finished being renovated, but I had never given her one to mine.
And I definitely didn’t see any point giving her one now, considering we would all be moving into a large fireproof house in only a few weeks. One that would technically be large enough for Lexi and Heidi to live with us too, though I doubted that would ever happen. It would cause too many problems for me anyway. But
, at the very least, we’d have room for whenever they stayed over late to watch a movie, so they didn’t have to sleep in the living room.
Oddly enough, it was really beginning to feel like they were a part of our family, rather than just friends of the family. It was just odd for me to have two sexy sisters in our familial unit that could both be viable dating partners if I were single. Keeping it platonic forever was obviously a necessity, but something that seemed so difficult the more I got to know them.
But I really couldn’t think like that. Because I wasn’t single, and hopefully I would never be single ever again, thanks to Freya’s immortality…
Lexi interrupted my train of thought as we both sat down at the kitchen table, almost like we were having an office meeting. She was wearing a dark brown cashmere sweater hidden underneath a buttoned red leather jacket, coupled with regular blue jeans, along with brown suede boots.
She cleared her throat. “How are you doing?” she wondered.
I blinked at her in surprise. Why would she be concerned about me? “I’m fine. What about you? How are you holding up?”
She grimaced. “I’m okay.”
It was obviously a lie. Her expression said it all. A few days ago had been her first day back on the job as a superhero, and while I hadn’t talked much with her in the last couple of weeks, it had been pretty obvious she was nervous about returning.
After all, you didn’t have a near-death experience and come back to life unscathed emotionally. It was obvious she was traumatized, though she tried really hard to hide it.
I decided to change the subject briefly. “Do you want anything to drink? I think we have some eggnog in the fridge,” I offered, knowing she loved it. She could easily drink it year-round if it was always available in the stores.
She laughed at that. “Yeah, actually that sounds nice.”
I got up immediately to wait on her, pouring half a glass and then sitting across from her. I then interlaced my fingers and rested my chin on them, my elbows on the table, as I watched her take a sip and sigh heavily.
It was still a little strange seeing her with such short hair, though it didn’t look bad on her at all. And it wasn’t like it was boy-short. Most of her blonde hair at least reached her jawline. Granted, she had a very attractive feminine face, so it would be obvious she was female from her face alone even if she did have hair as short as most guys.
