“I knew you would make it,” Madalena sighed as she looked at Zea, and the hacker’s eyes grew large with surprise.
“You wanted her to make the shot,” Eve corrected.
“Yes,” Madalena said with a sigh. “Adam loves you, and I do not want any strife between us. I am sorry for what I said about the submission. Will you sincerely forgive me?”
“Yeah.” The hacker’s face lit up with a beautiful smile, and she nodded her head. “We are good. Thanks for believing in me.”
“Thank you for your forgiveness,” Madalena said. “I am not used to being nice to people. I will work on it.”
“You just got a lot better really quick.” Zea laughed, and the other women joined in.
“Madalena, can you teach us how to fight better?” Eve asked. “That will help us survive and relieve some of the stress you feel. As much as we love this hot spring, the four of us would prefer to be fighting the Draugr beside you and Adam.”
“Whoa, whoa, wait a second,” Kasta said as she waved her hands in the air. “We can just hang out here instead of fighting these fuckers?”
“Shhh,” Paula elbowed her sister in the ribs lightly, and Kasta feigned injury.
“Yes, I will teach you all to fight.” Madalena smiled. “But that can come later. For now, I believe we were all enjoying this bath together. Can we continue?”
My friends all nodded, and Madalena gestured for the music to continue. Then the attendants began playing again, and we each raised our bottles to toast finding Madalena’s father quickly.
Chapter 12
We drank, ate, and relaxed in the hot springs for many more hours. The women took turns sitting out of the water, and they all became more intoxicated and less shy as the day continued. I also grew less shy about staring at their naked bodies, and each of the women gave me smoldering looks when they saw me appreciating them.
It had been breakfast time when we first stepped into the water, but we didn’t even consider getting out until an attendant asked Madalena if we would like to have dinner while we sat in the spring.
“My prunes have prunes,” Zea slurred as she looked at her fingers. “We should probably get out and eat dinner at a table or something, like normal people.”
“I will have them bring a table here,” Madalena said. Then she spoke to an attendant, and the group of women rushed to fulfill their queen’s wishes.
“You know, I was thinking.” Paula’s words were slurring almost as badly as Zea’s. “You are the ruler?”
“Yes,” Madalena said as she stepped out of the water. She turned to me so that I got a full view of her wondrous body and then donned the robe Milda brought her.
“Well… Don’t you have like… queen stuff to do? Or something?” Paula squinted at Madalena, and I realized there were three empty wine bottles beside the engineer. I had actually gone through twelve bottles and was feeling rather buzzed.
“My father was a great warrior, but he became lazy and spent most of his time with his women. His admirals and I ran the logistics of the clan. It would help for me to be here, but I am submitted to Adam, and must go where he does.” Madalena gestured to the table the white-robed attendants were bringing into the room, and my friends all got out of the bath, put on robes that the attendants brought them, and then sat in the chairs.
New bottles of wine, mead, and beer were poured, but my friends were all flushed and flying high now. Everyone but Kasta was pretty drunk. Even Eve had spent the last few hours giggling and smiling at her friends.
“Look! A cornucopia!” Kasta gasped as the first round of food was brought out. One attendant carried the horn-shaped basket, and Kasta gestured for the woman to set it down in front of her.
“All your dreams are coming true,” Zea snickered.
“Except for the handsome, muscular men with the beards,” the android sighed.
“I can have men brought for you if you wish,” Madalena said.
“Hmmmm,” the android considered as she selected an apple from the basket. She spun the piece of fruit in her hand, glanced over at me, and then took a slow bite. “I’ll think about it. Got something else planned.”
“Something else planned?” Zea slurred.
“Oh yes, don’t worry about it.” Kasta waved her hand, took another bite of her apple, and then winked at Zea. The hacker just laughed and reached for a plate of ribs that one of the attendants set on the table.
“Barbeque makes everything better,” Zea said after she put the meat on her plate. “Did I ever tell you all about the time I dumped a bunch of barbeque on Adam?”
“No! Tell!” Paula urged, and Zea began telling everyone about meeting John Sampson, his father Wayne, and then having lunch at Cynthia Jayhee’s house. When she got to the part about the missiles chasing our shuttle, Madalena leaned forward in her chair, and the stoic warrior actually let out a chuckle when Zea talked about dumping the leftovers on my face.
The twins also laughed at Zea’s story and then we all dug into the food on the table. The spread was impressive, and I soon filled my belly with the barbeque ribs, mutton legs, and turkey. Eventually, we were all sitting back in our chairs with our hands wrapped around our bellies.
“I have tasks which require my attention,” Madalena said after we had all thanked her for the meal. “In most circumstances, I would set up rooms for you all here, but I prefer for you to return to Persephone for the night.”
“That’s fine,” I replied.
“I must stay here through the night,” the Prime Valkyrie said as her eyes met mine, but then she turned to my friends. “We can begin some light training tomorrow morning if you are still interested.”
“Yes.” Eve nodded along with Zea and Paula.
“Exercising doesn’t really help me,” Kasta said with a shrug.
“We will spend an hour exercising, and then a few hours with weapon training,” Madalena replied.
“Oh, I’ll do that then.” The android nodded.
“I will leave you all then,” Madalena’s hand rested on my shoulder as she stood, and I rose from my seat as she changed into her uniform and then we walked together through the forest and toward the exit door.
“Thanks for taking care of us,” I said when we were out of earshot of my friends.
“I enjoyed myself, but it is more important to me that you enjoyed yourself.” Her fingers moved to the back of my neck, and I wrapped my hands around her waist. Our lips met with a slow kiss, and our tongues explored each other’s mouths for a minute.
“I will not be in your bed tonight,” she gasped when our lips parted.
“That’s okay. You have shit to do.”
“Eve and Zea should be with you,” she whispered as our foreheads leaned against each other.
“I--”
“You love them. I understand. I am your wife, but I took the choice from you. They wish to have you as I do. We will learn to get along better.”
“I want that,” I said. Then we kissed again, and I felt her pleasure and love pour into me.
“I will return tomorrow morning.” Madalena turned and walked out the door without looking back at me.
I returned through the forest and found my friends changing back into their skin tight flight suits. Both Eve and Zea were laughing as they touched the vampire woman’s braided pigtails, and I guessed that I had missed the joke.
“Ready to go?” I asked them.
“Yes,” Eve said as her red eyes focused on me with a hungry intensity.
“Are you going to change out of the robe?” Kasta asked as she pointed to Nilda. The Vaish woman held my suit, revolver, and boots in her hands and gave me a wide smile.
“Yeah,” I said as I looked around for a place for some privacy.
“We’ve already seen you naked,” Kasta smirked as she gestured to my friends and the few dozen beautiful Vaish women who had been attending to us all day.
“I’ll turn around,” Paula said.
“I’m not gonna,
” Kasta said, and the other women laughed.
“It’s fine,” I said as I pulled my arms out of the robe. “We are all drunk anyways.” I handed the robe to Nilda, took my suit from her, and then slipped the garment on. Then she knelt on her knees before me and helped me put on my boots while I put on my revolver.
“I lied, I watched,” Paula said, and I looked up from Nilda to see the twins hugging each other while their eyes devoured me. It was easy to tell which one was Paula because her cheeks were bright red.
“It’s fine,” I laughed. “Let’s get going. Thanks, Nilda.” The woman nodded when I thanked her, and Kasta spoke a few words that made the Vaish woman smile.
“I will take you all back to Persephone,” Milda said as she gestured toward the door.
“Bye spa, I’ll miss you.” Zea waved to the water, and Paula let out a long sigh.
We exited the room and met up with our entourage of heavily armored warriors. By the time we made it out of the castle and into the hovercraft, my buzz had started to fade, but Zea, Paula, and Eve seemed as if the alcohol was really getting to them.
I have never been drunk before. It is an enjoyable experience.
Eve hadn’t communicated to me much during our spa day, but she leaned her head against my shoulder now and then slipped her fingers through mine. Zea sat on the other side of me, and she rested her hand on my thigh.
“I am pretty damn drunk right now,” Zea whispered into my ear.
“I can tell,” I chuckled.
“Also really fucking horny.” Her hand moved up my leg toward my groin. “Looks like you are too.”
“Hard not to be when surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women,” I whispered.
“I missed you last night.” Her breath smelled like sweet wine.
“I’ll make up for it,” I replied.
“You better,” she moaned and leaned her head against my shoulder.
Our ride back to Persephone was much less active than the ride to the mirror castle. My friends were all tired, drunk, and I felt the two women leaning against me twitch with the first hints of sleep. I woke them up when we switched to the new hovercraft in the harbor, but they fell asleep almost as soon as we sat down in the next vehicle, and I had to wake them again when we made it to Persephone.
“Damn, what a day,” Paula said after Kasta woke her up and helped her get out of the hovercraft. “I’m going to sleep so good.”
“Me too,” Zea said. She looked at me, blinked her eyes, and then stifled a yawn with her hand. We were walking through the hold, and I could see a few new pallets of equipment strapped down next to the drones.
“Ohhh, new toys,” Kasta said as she pointed to the boxes. “I’m starting to like Madalena.”
“New drones?” Zea asked, and it looked like the blonde woman could hardly keep her eyes open.
“That’s what it looks like,” the android replied. “I’ll take a look once I get Paula to bed.”
“I’m a big girl, you don’t have to put me to bed,” Paula smirked.
“But who’s gonna read you a story and tuck you in?”
“Oh geez.” The engineer laughed.
“Actually, Adam,” Kasta said as she turned to me. “I need your help with something in the infirmary. I know you are about to head to bed, but can I borrow you for ten minutes?”
“Does it have to be right now?” I asked as I turned to Eve and Zea. We’d made it to the elevator, but it was clear that both of my lovers were going to pass out as soon as they got to our bed. They almost couldn’t stand without leaning against the wall.
“Doesn’t have to be.” The android shrugged.
“It is fine, Adam,” Eve said. “We will wait up for you.”
“Alright,” I said as the elevator door opened on the second floor. Paula, Kasta, and I stepped out, and I nodded to Zea and Eve before the doors closed.
“I need to swing by my room real quick,” Kasta said as she pointed down the hallway. “I’ll meet you in there.”
“Sure,” I said as I turned to walk toward the infirmary. The room was only a few dozen meters away from the elevator, and I turned on the lights as soon as I walked in. Madalena’s crew had stocked it full of everything we could ever need, and I amused myself for a few minutes by doing a quick inventory survey.
I was checking on the supply of medical sealing gel when I heard the door open behind me, but I didn’t turn around until I heard the lock on the door click.
“Why did you--” I started to ask as I turned, but my words were interrupted by a warm wash of desire that descended from my head and flooded me all the way down to my toes.
“Hmmm?” Kasta asked, and my blurry eyes shot down from her face toward her body. She was wearing lingerie. Her breasts were contained by a small pink bra that almost didn’t cover her nipples, and a sheer babydoll skirt fell to the tops of her thighs. She wasn’t wearing panties, and I could see a neatly trimmed triangle of blonde pubic hair above her labia. She leaned against the door to the infirmary, and her beautiful face was split with a shit-eating grin.
“Why are you--” I started to ask again, but my mouth was dripping with drool, and my legs felt wobbly.
“Oh, this?” she asked as she touched the hem of her short dress. “I thought you would like it. Do you?”
“Ahhhh,” I couldn’t really speak because the beast in my stomach was purring through my mind like a never ending thunderstorm.
“What’s wrong?” she asked as she stepped toward me.
“Nawww thinnng,” I mumbled. My tongue felt swollen, and my head was spinning as if I was high on painkillers. It was really damn hot inside of the infirmary, and I wanted to take off my suit.
I also wanted to fuck Kasta more than I’d ever wanted to fuck another woman.
“Ohhh. It looks like something is wrong,” she giggled as she walked toward me. Her feet were bare, and I was mesmerized by the sight of them walking across the tile floor.
“Whaaa?” I gasped as I reached for her.
“Too slow,” she said as she stepped away from my fingers. I stumbled forward with a growl and made another reach for her. This time my hands caught her shoulders, and she let out a playful gasp when I pulled her into my chest.
“Ohhh yeah. Right there,” she sighed when my tongue lapped the side of her smooth neck. “But there is one spot I’d like you to lick for a few minutes. Deal?”
“Yesssss,” I gasped between licks. I was completely drunk, but I didn’t care. Kasta’s skin tasted amazing, and I was going to devour her.
There was no one else but her.
“Kiss me first,” she urged, and I forced my lips against hers with a hungry growl. I could feel her fingers dig into my back while our tongues battled.
“Damn, it is so hot when you growl like that,” she moaned when we finished kissing. Then she grabbed onto my head and directed my face between her breasts. I lapped her skin there eagerly, and she let out another series of gasps.
“Bed,” she urged. My hands were already around her hips, and I hoisted her in the air so I could lay her on one of the many infirmary beds.
“Lick here, Adam.” She pointed between her legs, and I grabbed her calves so that I could pull her to my drooling mouth.
“Kasta!” a voice shouted as soon as my tongue touched her. We both flinched from the interruption, and I felt Kasta’s hands grab onto my head to keep me from continuing to rub my tongue over her.
“Oh, hey Eve. Uhhh. This isn’t what it looks like,” Kasta’s voice sounded far away. I knew who Eve was, but I didn’t want to do anything else besides lick what was in front of my face.
“You are lying to me.” Eve sounded really mad, but I was starting to get mad that Kasta was pushing my face away from her labia.
“Okay, shit. It’s exactly what it looks like. Sorry. Can he at least finish? I’m ready to go.” It sounded like Kasta was speaking from the bottom of a pool, and I forced her hands away from my head so I could lick her again. She shuddered as
soon as my tongue touched her, but then my face froze.
“No,” Eve growled, and my body was suddenly floating in the air above the infirmary floor. I struggled against the power that bound me with a growl, but I might as well have been trying to break free of an iron straightjacket. I couldn’t move, and my eyes fixed on the women with the red glowing eyes.
“Damn,” Kasta sighed. “So close…”
“What did you do to him?” Eve glared at the android, and Kasta sat up in the bed.
“I found some catnip in the warehouse,” Kasta admitted, and I felt some of the haze in my mind clear.
“It was in the bag you carried?” Eve’s eyes narrowed.
“Yep, and I used our cold press to make a perfume. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but…”
“Madalena was not around, and Zea and I went to bed.” Eve finished.
“I’m in trouble, aren’t I?” Kasta actually looked nervous.
“Adam needs to make the decision to fuck you on his own accord, and he needs to work out the repercussions with Zea, Madalena, and me.”
“I understand,” Kasta said as she slid off the bed and adjusted the front of her lingerie. “I’ll just go to bed now. Good talk. See you in the morning.” The android moved to walk around Eve, but the vampire’s hand shot out and grabbed the blonde women by the arm.
“If you try this again, I will rip you apart and cast your pieces into the trash compactor.” Eve’s voice was a low growl that sounded more animal than the woman I loved. The sound cleared the rest of the fog from my brain, and I felt my erection start to calm down.
“I got it,” Kasta whispered, and I could see the woman’s legs start to shake.
“I will not tell your sister, Zea, or Madalena you did this. They will be less forgiving than me.” Eve let go of Kasta’s arm, and the android hung her head.
“Thanks. Sorry, Eve. I fucked up. I won’t do it again.”
“Goodnight, Kasta,” Eve turned to face me, and the blonde woman dashed out of the door of the infirmary.
“You get into trouble without me.” The glow from Eve’s eyes faded, and a smiled came to her full lips. I felt the tension on my body relax, and my boots touched the ground.
