“I want to go talk to Marinus about what we did to Morgar, and then we’re going to have a lot of fun,” the mermaid promised. “It’s going to be a great day.”
“Sounds good,” Jessamine replied, and she pulled herself up and out of bed.
Cienna soon followed, and she looked down at her bikini.
“I know I look good,” she laughed, “but I’m getting kind of sick of this thing. I’d love to change my clothes at some point.”
“I might be able to do something with that later,” Jessamine said in a mysterious voice. “Let’s go see Marinus, and then we can work on the party details.”
We put our special leg armor on, Ariana cast mermaid’s kiss on us, and then we headed back out into the water. My red-haired wife led us over to a chamber in a tower on the other side of the palace and knocked on the door.
“Come in!” a resounding voice announced.
Ariana pushed open the door, and I was incredibly happy to see Marinus up and out of bed. The room looked like some sort of office, and the mermaid’s top advisor was sitting at a carved, coral desk. He had a large stack of parchment in front of him, and it seemed like the merman was back to business as usual.
Now that Marinus was healthy again, I could see he appeared to be in his fifties, with wavy, salt-and-pepper hair and a kind smile, and Ariana swam over to him and took both his hands in her own.
“Marinus, I can’t even tell you how happy I am to see you back to your old self,” the mermaid exclaimed with a huge grin on her face. “I--I was so worried about you. If we had lost you, I don’t know what I would have done.”
“Well, I’m feeling much better!” Marinus replied in the deep tone I now recognized to be his regular voice. It seemed like a dose of the Hero’s Potion had made him an entirely new man. “Ariana, it’s so good to see you, as well as your friends.”
“I suppose I have something to tell you,” Ariana said as her cheeks got redder and redder. “Joe and I… we got married. I got married again.”
The merman hesitated and looked me up and down for a minute, and then he got up from his seat, swam over, and held out a hand to me.
“Congratulations!” he exclaimed as he gave me a hearty handshake. “I know you’re the one who saved me, and Ariana is like a daughter to me. So, I say Joe, welcome to the family!”
He glanced over at Cienna and Jessamine briefly, and I could tell we didn’t need to explain the complicated details of our marriage.
“Thank you, Sir Marinus,” I replied. “Your approval means a lot to me.”
“Please, call me by my first name,” the merman told me with a broad smile, and I could tell, unlike King Liron, that he actually meant it.
“Marinus, have you heard the news yet?” Ariana asked, and she clapped her hands together. “Joe killed Morgar last night!”
“To be fair, Princess Ariana delivered the finishing blow,” Jessamine chimed in. “Ariana, you were so brave!”
“To be even fairer, we all killed him,” the redhead clarified as she gave us all a glittering smile. “None of it would have been possible without all of us working together.”
“In any case, you have given our kingdom an amazing gift,” Marinus interjected. “I have heard reports this morning that Eudora has retreated to her cave, and it gives me great pleasure to think of the witch sulking.”
“Me, too,” Ariana replied with a laugh. “She doesn’t seem so tough right now without her guard serpent. And don’t worry, I’ve replaced the magic barrier around the palace in case she does show up again.”
“We were more than happy to help,” Cienna chimed in. “Everyone in your kingdom has been so very welcoming, and I know Joe, Jessamine, and I would do anything in our power to help another princess and her people.”
“Well, since the king is away, I’d like to formally thank you on behalf of all our citizens.” Marinus bowed his head in gratitude. “I have sent word to King Liron of your honorable deeds, and I suspect you will be hearing from him again soon. Oh, and there’s more good news, which I also have to thank you for.”
“What’s that?” Ariana asked with bated breath.
“The kingdom’s doctors have been using the Hero’s Potion to heal the merpeople who have been poisoned, and they are making full recoveries like I did,” the merman explained. “We haven’t lost anyone else, and since it only takes a tiny drop to cure someone, the vast majority of the potion still remains. On behalf of the kingdom, I was hoping we might be able to continue to use the potion until all of our citizens are fully healed.
“Of course,” I replied. “I would do anything for the people of our mermaid kingdom, and I know it will be here waiting for me if I need to come back.”
“Yes, absolutely.” Marinus nodded. “This win wouldn’t have been possible without your service, and I will do anything to support your efforts to save Fairyland.
“Thanks, Marinus,” I said as I rubbed at the back of my neck. “It was my honor to help our undersea citizens, and next, we’re taking down Eudora. I’m not stopping until our work here is done.”
“Joe, you’re so amazing,” Ariana gushed. “Your kindness is incredible, and I’m so glad to be married to you. You take such good care of our people. And Marinus… it’s just been so good to see you this way.”
Ariana’s advisor looked down at the pile of paperwork on his desk, and then he looked back up at us.
“It’s been wonderful to see you and your family, Ariana, but I have to admit I’m still catching up on my work, and I don’t want to keep you all day, anyway,” Marinus told us with another smile. “Ariana, I just wanted you to know I received your message earlier, and everything should be in place now for your guests.”
“What’s that?” I asked, and I poked Ariana in the side with my finger.
“You’ll see,” the redhead said as she shot me a mischievous smile, and then she turned back to her advisor. “Marinus, I can’t thank you enough for your help, and I’m so happy to see you feeling this way. I hope Morgar’s death means this is the last we have to deal with poison for a while, but I’m so glad we’ve figured out the Hero’s Potion works as an antidote just in case.”
“Me, too, and I’ll see you soon, Ariana,” the merman responded with a nod of his head. “Joe, Princess Jessamine, Princess Cienna, please feel free to stop by and see me anytime. But for now, you all deserve to rest and celebrate.”
“That’s what we plan to do. Killing Eudora can wait until tomorrow.” Ariana grinned. “See you later, Marinus.”
We swam out of the advisor’s chamber and shut the door behind us, and as soon as we were out of sight, Ariana grabbed me and started making out with me again.
It seemed like once she’d had a taste, she just couldn’t get enough. I was aware of Cienna and Jessamine watching us and giggling, but feeling Ariana’s mermaid tail for the first time while kissing was pretty intriguing.
“Whoa, there, Ariana,” Jessamine snickered, and when I finally broke away and looked over at my dark-haired wife, she was still cracking up. “Save some for the rest of us.”
“I--I just--really like this,” the mermaid stammered, and a huge blush rose up her cheeks again. “I hope I’m not crossing any boundaries…”
“Jessamine was just joking,” Cienna reassured Ariana. “You’re Joe’s wife like the rest of us, and who says we don’t like to watch? Let’s go back to your chamber and relax.”
“I do have something planned for you, if what Marinus said didn’t clue you in,” the redhead admitted. “I think you’re all really going to like it, at least I hope you will.”
“You haven’t disappointed us yet,” I told my mermaid wife, and I squeezed her scaly ass. “I can’t wait to see what you have in store.”
So, we swam back to her chamber through the seawater, which seemed somehow clearer now that Morgar was gone. We entered the room, and Jessamine, Cienna, and I flipped the switches on our leg armor to settle down onto chairs and lounges. Ariana left the door o
pen behind us and started swimming back and forth and wringing her hands, and I hoped I could get her to relax.
“What’s going on, Ariana?” Jessamine asked, and I could tell she’d had the same thought as me.
“I-I’m just thinking about how I want to do things,” the mermaid replied. “I… I need to leave and go get something.”
“Sure, okay, whatever you need to do,” I answered with a shrug. “Everything seems pretty great already.”
“I’ll be right back,” Ariana told us, and she headed out the door before she called out to us over her shoulder. “See you soon!”
She had left the door to the chamber open, so I figured whatever she was doing wouldn’t take too long.
“I wonder what that’s all about,” Cienna mused as her blonde eyebrows furrowed. “She seemed stressed out, but she said it was a surprise.”
“I have no idea.” Jessamine shrugged. “But I’m pretty much up for anything at this point.”
We sat around and chatted for a few more minutes until Ariana swam back in with around five servants behind her. The servants each held a huge tray with platters covered in gigantic silver domes alongside various bottles and gilded cutlery, and it seemed we were getting room service.
“Nice…” I muttered, and Ariana turned and smiled at me.
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” the redhead assured me with pink cheeks and a grin, and she gestured for her servants to lay the trays down on a large, low table.
“Are you feeding us now, Ariana?” Jessamine gasped and clasped her hands. “Because I’m starving!”
“I am.” The mermaid nodded as the servants left the room, and then she bolted the door behind them before she continued to speak. “I-I just want to get everything perfect first.”
Ariana swam over and flipped the switch to begin draining her chamber, and as the water got lower and lower, I started to feel soggier and soggier. I couldn’t wait for the mermaid to perform her room-drying magic, since I was definitely chilly once I wasn’t surrounded by saltwater anymore. I looked over at Jessamine and Cienna, and I could tell by their shivers that they felt the same way, though Ariana didn’t seem to be bothered by the chill.
“Do you need any help?” I asked the redhead, but she shook her head. When the water was approximately down to her waist, she turned back to her human form with a snap.
“Just a few more seconds…” Ariana assured us, and once the water was entirely drained, she focused for a second to create the warm, comforting atmosphere I’d come to love. “I’m trying to make the room better and better each time I do it. Do you like the floor?”
I looked down and noticed there was now a thick, sea-green carpet, and the couch Cienna and I were sitting on seemed plusher than ever. I had to admit the cushions were way more comfortable than the original surface of crushed seashells, and I leaned back with a sigh.
“Wait, is that bacon?” I suddenly caught a meaty whiff of something other than the salty aroma that permeated everything in Ariana’s kingdom, and when I looked over at my red-haired wife, a huge smile stretched across her face as she started uncovering platters.
I knew I’d wished for a buffet back when we were on Cienna’s ship, but the food Ariana now presented us with was beyond anything I could have imagined.
There were gigantic plates with an incredible variety of foods, which included the bacon I’d smelled a minute ago as well as accompanying scrambled eggs. To continue the breakfast theme, there was a huge platter filled with fruit that included not only the seaberries we’d tasted earlier but an assortment of strawberries, raspberries, and grapes. A selection of pastries filled with different-colored jams sat alongside, and my mouth had already started to water when I caught a glimpse of what was on the other trays.
A platter of various cuts of meat contained everything from what appeared to be filet mignon to lamb chops. Mashed potatoes dripping with butter and a basket of hot bread went alongside, and the seafood offerings were shrimp, steamed mussels, and some sort of crab cakes. There was even another peacock like Jessamine and I had eaten at Cienna’s castle.
We could start our dessert course with an assortment of cheeses, but there was also a giant cake frosted in rich chocolate, various fruit pies with dollops of whipped cream, and intricate marzipan sculptures that displayed scenes of mermaids, Ariana’s palace, and sea animals in all the colors of the rainbow. It was more than I could have possibly hoped for, and I knew my mouth was hanging open.
“Ariana--how did you--?” Cienna stuttered, and I could tell my blonde wife was in shock as well.
“This is some of the best-looking food I’ve ever seen,” Jessamine proclaimed, and she delicately plucked a berry from the platter and put it into her mouth.
“W-Well, I hadn’t told you this earlier about eating at the palace, because it’s a fair amount of work to pull off,” Ariana began with bright red cheeks, “but we did develop a way for Prince Aaron to bring down some of his favorite foods from the surface for special occasions. It involves draining one of the kitchens, and I had to bring a chef down with mermaid’s kiss really early this morning. Marinus helped plan this, too, as I’m sure you figured out.”
“This is just… wow.” I still couldn’t believe my eyes. “Ariana, thank you so much for doing this for us. I’m not sure your surprise could be any better… unless it involved all of you taking your clothes off.”
“I’m eating before I get naked,” Cienna mumbled with her mouth full. The blonde princess appeared less ladylike than I’d ever seen her, but I didn’t mind. There was something I found very attractive about a delicate woman with a big appetite.
“S-So you like it?” Ariana asked, and her cheeks were still as flushed as ever. “H-Here, why don’t we have some wine?”
“It’s incredible, but I don’t see any glasses,” I told her as I glanced over the table.
“Then why not just take a bottle?” she responded with a small smile. “There’s rum, like we had before, and ale as well.”
“Don’t mind if I do,” I laughed.
It seemed like this was turning into one hell of a party.
My wives and I gorged ourselves on the assortment of rich foods, and I tried at least one bite of every single thing on the table, finished by a huge piece of chocolate cake. I ate until I couldn’t possibly squeeze down another bite, and then I just sipped on a mug of ale. I noticed my wives’ faces were starting to get more and more flushed from the wine they were also drinking, and I was so relaxed I had to lie down for a minute. I laid my head down on Cienna’s lap and stretched out across the luxurious sofa, and suddenly something popped into my head.
“Sooooo…” I drawled as I tried not to slur my words. “Cienna, Jessamine, remember when we were back at the castle after we defeated Jamar? You put those dresses on, remember that?”
“Yeah, I remember…” Cienna answered me, and I looked up at her. Her eyes were halfway closed as she leaned back against a huge pillow, and she began to stroke my hair before she spoke again. “Joe… you fucked me so deeply in that gown.”
“I sure did,” I murmured.
“Cienna did say she wanted something new to wear this morning,” Jessamine cut in, and she was watching us with a sly smile. “I might be able to do something about that.”
“Plus… I’ve never seen Ariana in a dress before…” I continued. “I have this idea, but I’m going to have to try to explain it to you really well, Jessamine. I want you to wear dresses, but not the kind you wore before…”
“Go on, Joe,” Jessamine said as she stared at me with her bedroom eyes, and a hot rush ran up my body.
“Soooo…” I began again. “Back where I came from, the girls would wear these dresses that were really short and tight. They were just cut differently than what you seem to wear here in Fairyland, without all that… extra fabric. Honestly, they were closer to that lingerie Ariana was wearing than the gowns you had on back at Cienna’s castle, just not as transparent. But you could s
ee the outlines of their nipples, and their asses, and their legs…”
“And that’s what you’d like me to create for you, hero?” my dark-haired wife asked me from under her eyelashes. “You want me to make us some tight, little dresses?”
“Y-Yes, please.” I cleared my throat. “And high heels. You know what those are, right? Actually, shoes just like the ones Fiona had would be perfect.”
“Of course, Joe,” Jessamine purred. “I know exactly what you’re talking about. Let me see what I can do.”
I felt a slight shift under my head on Cienna’s lap, and when I looked up at what Jessamine had created, I gasped. She’d done exactly what I’d asked for, if it were possible for dresses to be even shorter and tighter than what women in LA would feel comfortable wearing to a party. My dark-haired wife had manifested garments that were barely more than the teddy Ariana had worn, as I’d requested, other than the fact they were made of smooth satin.
Jessamine was in turquoise, Cienna wore her light blue, and Ariana’s dress was in a pale shade of pink, and their heels were at least four inches high and matched their dresses. From my position, I could see Ariana had her legs crossed, and her new dress rode up her thighs to the point where I realized Jessamine hadn’t given them any underwear.
“Holy shit,” I moaned, and my cock strained against my pants. “I’m fucking every last one of you in your dresses tonight.”
“So, I did it right?” Jessamine stood up and twirled around, and her heels lifted her taut ass even higher into the air. I could also see the outline of her erect nipples through the thin material and every inch of her curves. “Do you want a suit, too?”
“I think it would be lost on him at this point,” Cienna told her, and she gestured down at my engorged cock, which was plainly on display through my pants.
“No suit tonight,” I growled. “There’s no time. Are you all ready? Because I’m going to tell you what I want you to do.”
“Yes, Joe,” Cienna breathed as she ran her hands down across my bare chest, and Ariana nodded her assent.
