When I stirred from sleep, I was completely surrounded by the soft bodies of women. Zoe, still clinging tightly, was on top of me. Amber hadn’t left my left side, while Azura must have shifted during the night. She was pressing her small tits against my right arm, her face buried in the crook of my neck.

  As much as I would’ve loved to stay like that for a few more hours, we needed to head back to Ortas for Mari’s healing, which had already been postponed. Completely immobilized under three hot demonesses, I summoned a bit of mana to wake up a certain naughty elf.

  That, however, immediately woke the slime, which began shifting along my arm. It was visibly bigger than when it had first attached itself to me and was now moving back and forth over my biceps. Taking care of its needs first, I let it absorb my mana. But even after it stopped feeding, it kept sliding in slow circles over my arm.

  It seemed it didn’t go to sleep right after feeding, but since I couldn’t communicate with it, I had no idea what it wanted. It had been growing day by day, so perhaps soon it would be able to communicate with me somehow.

  Returning to my first goal, I directed my mana toward Amber’s head, or more precisely, her long, protruding ear. As I brushed the tip of it, Amber murmured and turned her head away. I kept teasing her ear with mana, as if caressing it with my finger, until she frowned and tried to swat it away. But when I didn’t stop, she finally blinked her eyes open with a frown and turned her head.

  She looked over the bed, trying to find whatever had bothered her, but when she couldn’t, her gaze shifted to my face, and she spotted my smile.

  “Asshole,” she huffed, pressing her face against my arm.

  “It’s time to wake up, princess,” I whispered.

  Amber hummed in protest, a small smile appearing on her lips, but she still didn’t move.

  With my hand pinned between her thighs, I pinched her skin gently, which finally made her jerk back and sit up with a gasp.

  “Hey! That hurt,” she snapped, rubbing her thigh. She gred at me, her white hair framing her gorgeous face. Her pale tits, topped with soft pink nipples, swayed slightly as she leaned forward. I could feast my eyes on her amazing body for hours… but we really needed to get back.

  “I can kiss it to make it better,” I replied, brushing Zoe’s hair with my free hand.

  Amber didn’t reply, watching with a frown as I woke up Zoe. The succubus, even before she opened her eyes, turned her head to find my lips. Shifting my hands lower, I squeezed both of her firm cheeks, as we teased each other with our tongues.

  When Azura, woken up by our movement, pulled away on my right side, I stopped the kiss with Zoe. “Good morning, baby,” I murmured, gncing at Azura, who was sitting completely naked next to us, rubbing her eyes.

  She hummed shortly with a smile, looking at me sleepily.

  “How do you imagine this to work?” Amber asked out of nowhere, breaking the peace and silence of the morning.

  “What?”

  “This whole thing,” she said, waving her hand over the bed. “How the fuck do you imagine it to work?”

  “You still have a problem with that?” I asked. “Weren’t you coming to me when you were kidnapped?”

  “I was going to Ortas,” Amber replied. “To see Ortas, not you.”

  “Sure,” I sighed. “So, what are you asking about?”

  The elf groaned, tilting her head back before she replied. “Do you need to fuck someone for your brain to start working?! How many times am I supposed to repeat the same question?”

  “You can either suck me off to start my brain or expin precisely what you are asking about, because you’re too vague right now.”

  “You want us to share you, right?” Amber asked.

  “Yeah.”

  “So, why did she hog you for the whole night?!” Amber growled, gesturing at Zoe, who was still lying on top of me.

  “Seriously? You wanted to swap during the night?” I asked. “Your time will come. We can cuddle today, and you will have me for the whole night.”

  “I don't want today!” Amber hissed. “I wanted yesterday!”

  “Sometimes it’ll be your turn, sometimes others. You need to accept that if you want to stay around.”

  “Yesterday should be my turn!” Amber snapped. “I was fucking kidnapped, stripped naked, chained, and beaten. All because I helped you find the fucking b. And I wanted a fucking hug! But she clung to you like some leech, and you just ignored it. You ignored me!”

  I fell silent, realizing that she was right this time. I had known she wanted to be in Zoe’s pce, and even after everything she went through, I had ignored it. She had needed comfort and cuddles, yet I had chosen Zoe.

  “This is how this sharing works?!” Amber continued, when I didn't answer. “You’re gonna have favourites, and Zoe will get whatever she wants, and I’m supposed to be happy with scraps?!”

  “It’s-” I tried to say something, but was interrupted when Zoe suddenly leapt off my body and tackled Amber.

  I sat up suddenly, for a moment worried that Zoe had attacked her, but she was just lying on top of the elf, pressing her face into her tits.

  “I’m sorry,” Zoe mumbled. “It’s not his fault, but mine. Don’t be angry at him.”

  I could see the confusion on Amber’s face above Zoe’s shoulder.

  “It was my fault,” Zoe continued. “This whole talk about family got into my head and… brought up some bad memories, and… I didn't want him to disappear,” Zoe murmured, and even in her voice I could hear she was crying.

  Amber, still looking confused, put her hands around the succubus, brushing her back softly, but her eyes locked on me.

  “Don’t you see?” she snapped. “That’s exactly what’s wrong with your fucking fantasy! You’re one man. One! More than one woman is too much for you. It’s too much for anyone. When we both needed you yesterday, you had to choose, and you couldn’t help us both.”

  “I could have hugged both of you,” I replied. “And you could have hugged each other,” I added, lowering my gaze to Zoe, who was still in Amber’s arms.

  “Maybe you could,” Amber snorted, gently pushing Zoe away, and the succubus shifted to sit on the bed next to us. “But you made a choice! And it’s fucking obvious who you are going to choose every time. I’m not going to be second. Fuck this!” she growled, then jumped out of the bed, trying to pick up her clothes.

  I rushed out of the bed and grabbed her before she could even pull her pants on.

  “Let me go!” she hissed, as I turned her around. “Fuck you!”

  I ignored her and pulled her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her, and after a moment she stopped moving - just stood there as I hugged her.

  After a few seconds, I pulled back to look into her face, while shifting my hands to keep them on her waist.

  “I’m sorry. I fucked up yesterday,” I said, pausing for a moment to think over my words. “I know that sometimes it might be hard, and I might not always be there for all of you when you need me. But I can promise that I’ll give my best, for you, Amber. And you, Zoe,” I added, gncing at the succubus. “And you, Azura,” I finished, shifting my gaze to the wolf shapeshifter.

  Then I looked back at the dark elf in my arms. “You’re right that I shouldn’t py favorites, and I’ll try not to.”

  Amber stared at me. Whatever she was thinking, this time she kept it to herself.

  “You can leave, Amber. That’s your choice to make,” I said. “I wouldn’t like it, and yeah, I’d be disappointed. I have a hard time understanding you most of the time. Fuck, even now, I’m not sure if you’re actually angry or if you just want me to plow your ass. But I do want you to stay. And if you come back with me to Ortas today, I promise I’ll fuck you senseless until you pass out from bliss. And when you wake up, you’ll be wrapped in my arms.”

  Amber groaned for a long moment before replying. “Do you really think you can solve all your problems with your cock?”

  “Not all of them, but this one,” I replied with a smile.

  “If only that cock wasn’t attached to an asshole like you,” the elf muttered.

  “We both know it’s not really about my cock,” I said. “Would you really prefer someone who’d let you push them around? Someone who’d prostrate themselves before you?” I asked. “No, you wouldn’t. We both know you want to be taken and used like a slut.”

  I grabbed the back of her head and pulled her toward me, making her gasp. Then I leaned in until our lips were almost touching, staring into her pale blue eyes.

  “I promise I won’t py favorites,” I whispered, “and I’ll do my best to make you happy. Come back with me to Ortas, little elf, and you’ll be screaming from pleasure every night. Or stay here and spend the rest of your life wondering what would’ve happened if you hadn’t.”

  I brushed my lips against hers in a brief kiss, then let her go and gently pushed her away.

  She gred at me, but I turned my back to her and knee-walked across the bed until I reached Azura. Pulling her small body onto my p, I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to my chest.

  She hummed contentedly with her eyes closed, wiggling until she found a comfortable position.

  “Are you okay?” I asked, wondering if something was bothering her too. She’d just argued with her mother, and maybe it was still weighing on her.

  She hummed a short no, just resting on top of me. Brushing her long, bck hair, I shifted my gaze to Zoe. “Come here.”

  When she got close enough, I pulled her into a kiss, while Amber was standing naked next to the bed watching us. As I pushed my tongue into Zoe’s mouth, she sucked on it with a moan. For a brief moment, we just teased each other, as pleasant shivers ran through my body when our tongues met.

  When I finally pulled back, slightly out of breath, I locked my gaze on her pink eyes. “I’m not going to disappear,” I murmured. “You’re stuck with me forever.”

  She smiled cutely, looking at me. “I know, Master. I just got emotional yesterday.”

  Pulling her into another kiss, Zoe’s soft lips brushed over mine as she flicked her tongue against me.

  “Aren’t we supposed to be in a rush to get back to Ortas?” Amber asked, interrupting my kiss.

  I gnced at her with a smile. “We?”

  “Don’t push it,” Amber shot back.

  “Yeah, unfortunately, we need to go.” I kissed Zoe one more time, then did the same with Azura, hugging her tightly, before we slipped out of the bed.

  “Zoe, go with Azura and wake up everyone. And order some food, okay?” I asked, while looking for my clothes.

  “Yes, Master,” she replied, and after she got dressed, she grabbed Azura’s hand and pulled her out of the room.

  “What do you want?” Amber asked, with her hands on her wide hips, gring at me.

  Rather than answering, I approached her and pushed my tongue between her lips, which parted after a second of resistance. She grabbed my arms as I pushed her back until I was pinning her against the wall, kissing her deeply. I groped her tits, pinching her nipples, making her groan into my mouth.

  “Don't think I’m not going to punish you for screaming at me first thing in the morning, little elf,” I growled low, staring into her eyes.

  “I was right!” she gasped. “You even admitted you fucked up!”

  Shifting my hand lower along her body, I spanked the side of her ass that was not pressed into the wall.

  “It doesn’t matter,” I murmured. “You could have brought it up without screaming.”

  “But-”

  I cut her off with another spank.

  “No discussion,” I said firmly. “We’re heading back to Ortas, and then to the dungeon. After that, I’m going to fuck you until you scream my name. Apparently, you’ve gone too long without a proper fucking, and now you’re starting to act out. Do you understand?”

  She gred at me for a moment, but after a brief staring contest, she dropped her gaze to the space between our bodies. “Yes,” she panted, her breath heavy.

  “You’re so fucking hot like that,” I whispered, pulling her into another deep kiss. Her lips moved hungrily around my tongue as she began to grind against me, pressing her mound against the bulge in my pants.

  She groaned when I spanked her again, and this time I pulled away. As I walked out of the room, Amber trailed behind me into the tavern’s main room, where Zoe and Azura were already sitting with Mari.

  I sat down next to Zoe, and Amber joined us on my other side, avoiding my eyes. It wasn’t long before Terra walked in, with Mia following right behind her.

  “Good morning, sir,” Terra said, sitting by the table.

  “Hey,” I replied, and as I looked at Mia, she blushed, averting her gaze quickly to the ground. Because Zoe didn't use her skill the previous night, they most likely heard everything - moans and groans of the three women that I had fucked.

  Marcy, with a grin pstered on her face, was the st one to join us, just before our food arrived. “Are we going to the dungeon after we return to Ortas?” she asked.

  “Hopefully,” I replied. “We’ll need to pick up Cassia and hope she’s not mad that we didn't return yesterday.”

  “Right, I think she’ll understand,” Marcellina replied. “Are you rested enough? I’d guess you didn’t get much sleep, four people in one bed. It was probably quite tight and uncomfortable.”

  Mari huffed with frustration but didn't say anything, focused on her food.

  “I’m fully rested. The best sleep a man can have,” I said, ignoring the kitsune.

  “I can imagine,” Marcy replied, smiling. “Terra, are you going with us?” she asked, changing the topic.

  The orc looked at me, waiting for an answer.

  “You should go. We’re heading to level one, so you could get some experience.”

  “Yes, Sir,” Terra replied.

  “Unless you want to rest and train first before a regur fight?”

  “No. I’ll go.”

  “Great. So, we’re going back to Ortas. Mari and Mia will stay at home. We’ll pick up Cassia and head to the dungeon.”

  After making pns and finishing our food, we left the tavern, heading to leave Atranth. After stepping out of the city, we made a small stop for Azura to take her clothes off and change into a wolf. Again, Marcy joined her and ran after Azura in her lioness form.

  “Do you want to join them?” I asked Mia.

  She grunted, looking uncertainly at the wolf chasing the lioness. “N-No, thanks,” she stammered quietly.

  “Okay, let’s go then,” I replied, and directed all of us toward Ortas.

  The trip wasn’t long, and as we were approaching Ortas, Azura and Marcy both turned back into their human forms.

  “God, I didn't even realize how much I missed it,” Marcy said, stretching out while walking by my side.

  “I wonder how it feels,” I said. “To just change into an animal and run.”

  “Actually, I never thought about it,” Marcy replied, frowning. “It’s natural for me, but I would say more… free. In a way that I can just let my instincts lead me and don’t think so much about what I’m doing. I just experience the wind, and smells, and the ground beneath my paws. I’m free of any thoughts - concerns, fears, inhibitions.”

  “Seems amazing,” I replied. “But can’t you let go the same way as a human?”

  “It’s different,” Marcy replied. “But I can't really expin how.”

  I nodded, wondering if it was possible for me to get a skill that would let me change into an animal. In a world of magic, it would seem that everything is possible, but maybe even here there were some limits to what could happen.

  After we passed through the gate and entered Ortas, Marcy stopped us. “Maybe I’ll go pick up Cassia while you take care of your business, and we’ll meet by the gate in like twenty minutes?” she asked.

  “That would be great,” I replied, gd we could save some time. After parting with the lioness, we headed toward Sage’s house.

  When I opened the door and invited Terra and Mia inside, Azura’s mother immediately stepped out into the corridor.

  “Azura, baby!” she gasped, quickly moving toward her daughter as if to hug her but stopping just in front of her. “I…” she began, but then her gaze flicked to me and the two new women with us. A moment ter, she focused back on her daughter. “I’m sorry, Azura. I’m just worried about you, about how simir your situation is to mine.”

  “Mom, he-” Azura began to speak, but was interrupted by her mother.

  “I know. I know. And while I still have my doubts, I can’t lose you again. So, I’ll trust your judgment, okay?”

  Azura hummed a short yes, looking at her mother skeptically. It seemed Hannah had rethought everything while we were gone and realized she could lose Azura again if she tried to separate us.

  Hannah hugged Azura for a moment before pulling away and shifting her gaze to me.

  “I’m sorry that I accused you of all those things and that I didn’t trust you. And I’m sorry I hit you and called you names,” she said, looking at me.

  “It’s okay, you were just worried about your daughter,” I said. “Mia, Terra, this is Azura’s mother, Hannah. And the two standing behind her are Anna, the younger one, and Alyssa, the older. Both are Azura’s sisters. Mia and Terra will be staying with us for a while, which actually brings up a small problem. There’s no free room for you, but Mari, maybe you could be healed in your own room? That would free up the one upstairs.”

  “Whatever,” Mari replied, heading toward the stairs.

  “We’re going to the dungeon soon, so if you want to spend some time with Azura, you have a moment now, and ter, after we return,” I said, gncing at Hannah before leading the rest of the women upstairs, leaving Azura with her family.

  When we reached the first floor, Zelda was already standing in the corridor with Mari.

  “Hey,” I greeted her as I approached. “I’m sorry we didn’t come back yesterday, things got complicated.”

  “Yeah, Sage told me,” Zelda replied. “It’s good that you’re back, and hopefully this time without more surprises.”

  “I hope so too,” I said. “This is Terra and Mia,” I introduced, pointing to the women behind me. “We need a room for them, so I was thinking maybe you could heal Mari in her own room?”

  “I can,” Zelda sighed. “But I’d have to move all the things first.”

  Terra pushed Mia gently forward. The bunny girl gnced at her friend, then focused on Zelda. “I can help.”

  “That would be great. I’m Zelda,” the healer introduced herself.

  “Mia.”

  “Okay, Mia, then let’s move those things now. Are you heading out soon?” Zelda asked, gncing at me.

  “Yes, but Mari and Mia are staying.”

  “Mia, would you like to help me during the healing, as an assistant?”

  “Of course, ma’am.”

  “Great,” Zelda said. “Let’s go get the items. Mari, wash up in the meantime.”

  We all moved upstairs, splitting between two rooms.

  “Do you have potions we might need ready?” I asked Amber after setting my bag on the table.

  “Yeah,” the dark elf replied, pulling a few fsks out of her bag.

  “Do you want to come with us? You could get some experience points.”

  “No, I’ll rest. On the first level, I won’t get much anyway, and I’d only slow the others down.”

  “Okay, then rest, little elf, because you’re in for a tiring night.”

  “I’ll tire you down,” Amber replied.

  I chuckled, gncing at her. “Last time you weren’t even close.”

  “That was because of Zoe, not you,” she shot back. “Can you handle me alone, or are you scared?”

  “You’re asking for it, princess.”

  “I’ll show you that three women are too much for you,” Amber said.

  I quickly closed the distance between us and grabbed her head, pulling her into a deep kiss, mashing my lips against hers. My hands found her ass, and I squeezed her cheeks. Then, before she could react, I pulled away and pushed her onto the bed, where she nded on her butt.

  “You’d better be ready when I get back,” I said before leaving the room. Outside, Mia was carrying a pack of bandages, following Zelda, who was holding a few bottles. Terra stood in the corridor, her battle axe in hand.

  “Ready?” I asked.

  “Of course, sir,” she replied.

  I ignored her calling me sir, it was better than master, and we headed downstairs. After Azura said goodbye to her family, we went toward the gate where we were supposed to meet Marcy and Cassia, who were both already there waiting.

  “I’m sorry we didn’t come back yesterday,” I said to Cassia after approaching them, gd this was the st person I needed to apologize to.

  “Marcy told me what happened,” Cassia replied. “Is Amber okay?”

  “Yeah, she’s resting, but I have potions,” I said, patting my bag. “I didn’t have any way to contact you yesterday or let you know what was going on.”

  “Yeah, I figured something must’ve happened.”

  “I assume you’re ready to head to the dungeon now?”

  “Sure,” Cassia replied.

  “Good. At least we’ll have more time today to farm,” I said, and we left the city, heading toward the dungeon for what should be an easy exploration.
